"And such a thing?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, leader, for bothering you." Xiao Liu's mood is not very high, and few subordinates like to admit to their bosses that they can't handle it, but Qiao Yun's situation is really special, "But the attitude of the designer is very firm, we didn't have any dealings before, and their company is not registered in City B......"

A few words, brought all aspects of the point: it's not that Xiao Liu doesn't work hard, it's just that this superior competent unit is doing it reluctantly, people cooperate with you, it is a company in city B, and it is not impossible to go back to the place of registration to hold a press conference if you don't cooperate with you, the era is different, and it is not so easy to set up a score. The leader also smiled when he heard it, "I am young, and I am discouraged when I encounter some difficulties in my work." You have to adjust your own mentality, we are serving the people, why can't others have temper? Doing a good job in mediation is the value of our existence - that Qiao Yun, why did she fall out with the association, have you asked? If you can mediate, you can mediate, and if you can't mediate, you can find a way. ”

"Here's the thing," the reason for this is not a secret, since Qiao Yun put the contradiction on the table to tear it up, then Secretary General Shi and President Zhang of course have something to say, Xiao Liu is conscientious, and has also learned from a third party, the more he understands, the more tricky he feels, "This designer Qiao Yun, she is a student of Teacher Gu, a professor at T University......"

"Professor Gu Jie! I know that she, a deputy to the National People's Congress, an industry leader - is her husband also teaching at T University? I remember being a representative scholar in a certain field. ”

"Yes, yes," Xiao Liu adjusted his tone as he listened to the leader's tone. “…… Professor Gu thinks that her personal conditions are very good, and her design is enough to win an award at Fashion Week, but you also know some of the atmosphere of this fashion week......"

"It really has strength, it can make multinational groups look at it and become the first design brand in Asia to be invested, isn't this strength?" The leader really has a tendency, "This atmosphere is going to change, and powerful designers also have to fight for relationships in order to get ahead, crooked and evil, not like words." ”

"Yes, yes, the key is that she hasn't won this award yet, President Zhang They were only a few days before the fashion week, and suddenly notified the designer that she changed the time of her press conference and adjusted the award settings......" Xiao Liu said while looking at the leader's face, "I gave the award that was originally promised to Qiao Yun to another designer - there are rumors that she is ......"

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is an uneven distribution of spoils, everyone has turned their faces, according to Xiao Liu's own opinion, it is nonsense to say who is more righteous, Qiao Yun was indeed hacked, but this reason can't be put on the table, and the face is big enough to make such a big fire to the superior unit - isn't this equivalent to a student cheating dispute suing the teacher, the teacher really wants to punish no one well, and the key is that there is another relationship here, and it seems that the relationship is much harder than Qiao Yun.

“…… I heard that it was the daughter of this one. He explained the reason to the leader with his ear: beating the dog owner, if it weren't for someone behind him, the leader would be happy, and a small president would have won it. - Anyway, there have been no political achievements over the years, and the city has to post money on the anniversary of the clothing, who knows if it is a new atmosphere? For example, Qiao Yun's teacher, Professor Gu Jie, can she try to do it in this position? Talent flow, select the best and select the best. But there are people behind it, at least in Xiao Liu's view, because this matter is not suitable for President Zhang, and he will definitely have to complain in the background.

"Oh, there's such a heavy article." The leader really didn't know, and his tone was a little hesitant.

"In fact, there is something wrong with the organizing committee in this matter, but the internal adjustment of the award is actually normal. The main thing was that there was a misunderstanding in the two change times, and the designer thought that she would not be allowed to open, but in fact, the organizing committee only made an adjustment in the time, not to let her open it completely. Xiao Liu didn't dare to squeeze out the designer too much - it was rumored that she and Qin Wei were lovers, if this was true, the relationship behind it was hard enough, he thought about it and said, "The misunderstanding should be nothing, but the designer has a stubborn temper, and we can't mediate from it, you see...... Time is in a hurry, or this meeting, why don't you let anyone from the designer association participate? ”

In fact, this is not in accordance with the rules, the association's achievements, is the leader's achievement, this kind of occasion who should attend in what order are rules, plain and not, leaders are not easy to participate. It's just the lesser of two evils, and Xiao Liu is also sweating on his forehead: this designer, arrogant and arrogant, young and frivolous, relying on his own achievements, he makes any unbelievable requests, and he doesn't want to think about it, can this come true?

This Xiao Liu is still too young, and his thoughts, the leader can see through them at a glance - and can't help laughing, "You, you still have to learn more at work - it's over if you don't let them participate?" ”

"Huh?"

"How do you know that their company is not registered in City B, did the designer himself tell you?"

"This ......"

"Isn't it already very clear, do you think it's just a matter of not letting Lao Zhang and a few of them attend?" The leader pointed out, "If you don't take down Lao Zhang, she will dare to invite the leaders of the company's registered place to attend the press conference - they all said that they are not registered in our B city, what else can you do with her?" What will we do when the time comes, she is giving you conditions. ”

He felt that Xiao Liu was still a little inflexible, and Qiao Yun didn't say some things so clearly - this little girl still has a clear eye for doing things, and she feels like Xiao Liu relaying it like this, this is not nonsense - there is reason not to be loud, of course she can't do it if she is really foolish, but these few words are said at a high level, and the leader feels that people do not welcome the association in the past, and they must have their own bargaining chips, "By the way, you asked her if she didn't, did Qin Wei go to the press conference?" ”

"Huh? Conference...... This, even if it's a boyfriend or girlfriend, you don't need to go over, in what capacity......" Xiao Liu was asked.

"Then you ask now." The leader is not angry either, "Call now and ask." ”

Fortunately, Xiao Liu was not so stupid that he didn't even ask for a phone, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and called, and when he asked, he laughed on the phone, and even the leader heard the voice.

She said...... Qin Wei didn't go, he was filming, he was not available. After a while, Xiao Liu hung up the phone, he still didn't understand it, so his tone was empty, "If you have anything to say, you can wait for the meeting, she will bring it." ”

This shows that she is indeed Qin Wei's girlfriend: a few days ago, at the dinner, the scandal was also talked about, and Qin Wei's uncle was also vague, but listening to the tone, Qiao Yun was very recognized by the Qin family - they didn't know this favor, they didn't recognize it.

The leader sighed, unpredictable and profound, Xiao Liu said again, "She also said that Mr. Fu will go that day, he is a senior executive of their company - maybe you also know, his name is Fu Zhan." ”

Fu Zhan...... Tutor?

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" The leader blurted out: Do you still need to hesitate about this? Not to mention any political achievements, the two big Buddhas of the Qin family and the Fu family are by her side, no wonder people have this confidence, when the time comes, it will be just a sentence to remove the president. "Really, I should have asked Xiao Fu to give me a message at that time - what to change the time, what misunderstanding, can I not know the atmosphere of their organizing committee? We found out that it was a misunderstanding, and we didn't find out if you could see that show be successful? ”

"Such a capable little girl, just a few years old to go abroad to start a show, big groups have to come to cooperate - this kind of talent, in our country can't even open an official press conference, to win an award depends on the relationship, if you don't have tenacity, hard work, such a good seedling, when will it come out? In my opinion, the atmosphere of this association is to be cleaned up, and then continue to grow savagely, the clothing design industry is concentrated in our three big cities in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the atmosphere of the association drives the industry atmosphere, and this issue must be paid attention to. - Xiao Liu, you go to draw up a draft, in the afternoon the small meeting to solicit opinions, there is no major problem to send to the association, and strive to come up with a rectification plan in the near future, first of all, the issue of the president re-election, such a big association, there are no relevant regulations for the general election, why is it so informal? ”

When it was time to understand, the leader understood it better than anyone else, and the words of the table analyzed the industry problems into the inside, Xiao Liu listened to it with admiration, and he was endless-of course he would not speak for President Zhang, and everything was based on the opinions of the leaders. As for why the leader suddenly changed his attitude, he also knew very well that this was not something he could ask.

"Then I'll go write it and I'll show you when I'm done." He clipped his notebook, stood up, hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Leader, do you want to ask Miss Qiao and ask her to find out if Professor Gu intends to go out of the mountain to serve as the president?" ”

"I think it's okay, I'm thirsty for talent." Xiao Liu still has a future, and the leader said happily, "Our attitude must be put out first, serve the people, and we can't just put on a show and play official ......."

In the end, it is the best place, the government's thinking is advanced, and the efficiency is also high, and the general election was completed in less than a week, and when the reporters gathered at the door of the Beijing Hotel to shoot this historic signing ceremony, the representative of the designer association on the rostrum has been quietly replaced by Secretary General Shi - now President Shi.

"It can be said that today is an important day in China's fashion design industry, a day of heavy color, and also a day when China's local designers officially go abroad, reminiscing about the past and the present, making people feel the ups and downs, China's fashion design industry, from scratch, from weak to strong, with the development of China's economy gradually taking off, after many difficulties, a group of outstanding talents have emerged...... "The leader sits in a conspicuous position second only to today's two protagonists, Gu Pan is proud, and he feels that he has played very well in today's speech.

"GA Group has great confidence in the future development of [Yun], we give it very special treatment, this cooperation will be an important step for us to further develop in Asia, we believe that this strategic investment is the most important decision made by GA this year, the new business model represented by [Yun], and the creative design concept, will be the new direction of China's local fashion in the future, but also the integration of China's own fashion industry and world fashion. We are very optimistic about the future of [Yun] and the future of Chinese fashion, and we believe that this is the beginning of a great collaboration...... "This is the emperor of Ga, the grandson of Kevin. Arnold's speech, this time to Beijing, he brought a large number of foreign journalists, the pomp is so big, not to mention the sensation of the whole city, at least in the industry has never been, plus in order to promote the brand, even make an exception to appear in fashion magazines, the sincerity of cooperation can be seen. The speech was also very face-giving, and the leader listened to the Chinese translated by simultaneous interpretation in real time, and was quite happy and nodded frequently: just now his speech was translated into English in real time, and the picture of a group of foreign reporters bowing their heads and taking notes in the audience is really a new experience for him.

"We are very grateful to Kevin for his help in many aspects, and we are also very confident in the future, after the GA injection, we have a clear plan, I believe that [rhyme] can become a global national brand, and we also want to thank leaders at all levels for their help...... "Qiao Yun's speech is very concise, first said it again in Chinese, and then again in English, fluent English immediately attracted the admiration and attention of reporters: this press conference, all aspects are gorgeous and efficient, many details reflect professionalism, how to say the whole brand, is foreign, no wonder it can get the favor of foreign giants, the pattern is really different, as soon as the designer speaks, the height will come out, really, national brands should be able to do so, and rushing out of the country is no longer an empty slogan.

"The Designers Guild has always been committed to helping the next generation of designers grow, and we are very grateful for the support of designers! Qiao Yun proved the value of our work with her outstanding achievements, and a talented young designer like this is our baby! "According to the level, President Shi always has to be ranked after GA and before Qiao Yun, but he plays his style and is willing to take a step back - really willingly, how did this president come about, he knows it clearly. Every compliment is from the bottom of his heart - this president, he should be overjoyed, I thought that with Mr. Gu's style, he would definitely not be able to get along in the association, and he had the heart to die, but he didn't expect it......

Qiao Yun, who is wearing a suit and combing her hair into a bun, has a much stronger aura than usual, no longer the image of a rose with a weak appearance and thorns in secret, today she is a bit of a queen, and she was lukewarm to President Shi before the meeting, and now when she hears such flattery, she just seems to be smiling, the corners of her mouth are slightly twitched, as if she has been pleased, and she seems to be a little disapproving. President Shi saw it in his eyes, and he was ashamed, grateful and vigilant in his heart - how did the president come, he knew that this president, how he should continue to be in office for a long time, he was even more clear, "We will also spare no effort to support her development in the future work, this is the value of the association's existence, to help every designer, to help national brands go out, and to make due contributions to the development of our industry!" ”

How to serve this little master well, he has thought of several ways, and he must serve her properly: she has such a backer, she is so good at being a person, and she will change the leaders of the association casually, and others think that it is difficult to compare with the things that rise to the sky, she is as simple as eating cabbage. If someone else is angry with the leader in public like this, and openly claims that there is me and no him, will this be the result?

President Shi knows that he will definitely not be the opponent of the little junior sister, he puts his position very right, and is ready to win with sincerity - isn't it just to serve the designer, this is the association's own job, to help her have a better development, yes, win a few more awards, participate in more foreign exchange activities, this is an opportunity. Now the little sister and the teacher are a little prejudiced against him, it doesn't matter, he can be moved with sincerity, people's hearts are made of meat!

There are only a few people who should speak, and after speaking, it will be the signing ceremony, and then the rostrum will take a group photo, and the reporter will ask a question - the splendid banquet hall is full of camera sounds and flashes, and the atmosphere is even more serious than the press conference of well-known foreign brands: the attendees and interviewers are very clear that this is destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese clothing, and what they are participating in and creating is part of history.

"You should be on stage."

Fu Zhan said softly, he walked up to Professor Gu's side, and his tone was a little regretful. "Qiao Yun very much hopes that you can stand at the chairman's table with her, she is very sorry that you don't want to go up."

Neither reporters nor guests on the rostrum, they could only stand in the corner of the banquet hall and look at the protagonists in the spotlight from afar, Professor Gu, Qiao Yun's most solid support all along, the authority of Taishan Beidou in the domestic service world, and Professor Gu, who is more qualified than anyone else to be the president, shook his head gently, "Let's let Xiao Shi go, I'll just look at it." ”

Looking at the glittering crystal chandeliers, the gorgeous and extravagant decorations, listening to the characteristic slow speed of the simultaneous interpretation, and the serious expressions on the faces of foreign journalists and even investors, she suddenly sighed and muttered, "I don't dare to think about it......

"What?" Fu Zhan didn't hear clearly.

"Don't dare to think about it......" Professor Gu repeated again, "Really, I don't dare to think about it......"

Born in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, since the memory of it, the shadow of poverty hangs over every family, what is beautiful? I don't dare to think that being neat and tidy is already a sign of affluence.

Studying and studying, reform and opening up, it is true that good has replaced cotton, polyester is still a high-end material, and pull-back shoes are like today's Nike limited edition - but finally, you can piece together some collocations in a limited selection and begin to have a sense of pursuing beauty. At that time, I first came into contact with foreign fashion magazines - or in college, in the form of study materials, how dare I believe that one day I can chase such a trend? Chinese is destined to be just a clumsy imitation, an authentic small suit, the price marked in the magazine is 100 US dollars, and the black market price of RMB is 1000 yuan...... At that time, her teacher's monthly salary was only 300 and zero!

In that era, it was a matter of pride to be able to wear the shirt of the foreign trade factory, and the foreign trade shirt was the high point of domestic fashion - the shirt was changed for the plane, and the domestic garment factory relied on such a processing fee of less than one dollar to produce those clothes with a price tag of tens or hundreds of dollars for foreign manufacturers, so it was still an enviable industry. The more foreign exchange, the higher the status. What could she think of the future? The best imagination, the best blueprint for the future garment industry: I hope that China can have its own FMCG brand, can have a relatively formal production mechanism, no longer small workshops, small factories style garment production, large factories do not do those old styles in the same way, how much has changed - but this is difficult, at that time the materials were too scarce, how to produce without worrying about sales, what motivation do they have for improvement?

Going abroad for a meeting to inspect the foreign garment industry, she is unwilling to go, what is there to investigate? The first time I went abroad, I was showing fashion week news on TV, and those designs were dazzling. She said that she was avant-garde, but in fact, she was a little envious in her heart: so beautiful and expensive, but it had nothing to do with her and China. At that time, she never thought that China would also produce luxury designers, she never thought that mass luxury goods would also enter Chinese society and become a part of social culture, she never thought that a skirt of 5,000 yuan would be bought in a hurry, and the sales of 10,000 yuan of coats were actually considerable.

If one day...... Yes......

This thought, only in a dream, when awake in a flash was extinguished, impossible thoughts will only bring pain, she has long realized that she is engaged in a crippled industry, always the downstream of the industrial chain, this situation can not change, can not see the reason for change.

Later, FMCG ready-to-wear gradually appeared, wages rose, and consultant fees became more and more lucrative, she was surprised to find that the original unattainable luxury goods can also be included in the shopping list, but the industry situation has not changed, many young designers are working hard, but no one can make people shine, what is so strange? The soil of this industry is so barren, how can it explode without accumulation? It is an indisputable truth that the main stage of costume design is in the West. What China is playing here is just a botched parody show, this is the reality, and we can only accept it. There will be no high-end design brands in China, there will be no world brands, not to mention the clothing industry, which industry is not like this?

"When I was in France in 1992, I saw LV's big show, and my best thought at that time was that it would be nice if one day I could see Chinese models on the big show."

"With Lu Yan in 2001, my thinking also changed at that time, the best idea, if we can also send students to a prestigious school like Parsons, it would be better if we could leave one or two to work in big brands, even if it is an assistant designer, no Chinese can get such a position." Therefore, I will support Qiao Yun to apply for overseas schools, Qiao Yun will not go to Parsons, I will be so angry, I think she does not have the talent to create her own brand, the best result is to work hard, and then rely on a little luck to get a design assistant position, but even so, what she can achieve is the high point of Chinese design, at least she can witness how the fashion of the world's clothing is made, which is already a height that our generation dare not imagine. ”

"I never thought that China could have its own high-end clothing brands, and Chinese brands could be sold back to Europe and the United States, and the best groups in the industry could be attracted to invest. I never thought that a Chinese brand could be on "Voyage", Qiao Yun told me that day that she wanted to be on the cover of the American version - but before that, I had never even thought about the cover of the Chinese version, I think it is already optimistic that a designer who can meet the cover requirements of "Voyage" can be produced in ten years, and I never even dreamed of the American version. Even standing here, I think it might not be so real. ”

"When will Chinese brands be able to show in the four major fashion weeks? Isn't it the kind of show of favors, policy show, really relying on its own strength, the show is held every year? ”

"When will Chinese brands be able to have their own stores on Fifth Avenue? Or even a chain store all over the world? ”

"When will Chinese designers win international industry awards?"

"In the past, I didn't even think about these problems, but now, I have a little bit of belief that it can become a reality, when Qiao Yun sent me a magazine that day, I never knew that I could laugh so happily, I was outdated, I made a mistake in my judgment of Qiao Yun, and I also made a mistake in my judgment of the industry situation, my knowledge and guts are outdated, but I have never been so happy, my students have surpassed me in such a short period of time, and she will be more successful than me in the future."

"She no longer needs me to personally escort her, she doesn't need a teacher to be the president of the association, all factors will want to influence her through me, which will hinder her performance. Xiao Shi is a better candidate, and promoting her senior brother is also good for her reputation, and if she makes a mistake, he will go around her. ”

"Alas, in fact, how can Qiao Yun not know this, she is so powerful. She really wants me to come on stage and share this glory with her. But she didn't know that it was enough to make me happy to watch it happen. ”

"With the aura of GA, my connections, and Xiao Shi's escort, she will be the pride of China's fashion industry in the future, and no one in our industry will trouble her anymore. She can also concentrate on developing internationally, right? This little hope in my heart may come true one day, right? ”

"Maybe it will come true." Professor Gu muttered softly, her eyes fell on the rostrum, sliding over one face after another, they all have their own careful thoughts, their own calculations, many of them are not very glorious, but at this moment, they are indeed sincerely happy for the development of the national brand, and they also sincerely hope that it can go to the world and realize their unconscious expectations in their hearts. No one will admit it, and many people will not even realize it, but ......

"It must come true......"

Her eyes fell on Qiao Yun, this young and beautiful girl seemed to have a sense, and threw a look at the audience, her eyes met Teacher Gu, and maybe she also saw Fu Zhan beside her.

Teacher Gu smiled at her, and the corners of Qiao Yun's lips were hooked, and her eyes were shining.

Her smile was full of confidence, and this confidence, as sharp as a blade, was written with indomitable courage.

"It's going to come true...... Teacher Gu couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips in such a smile, she thought about those dreams that she had never thought about, those longings that she had not dared to give birth to. In the laughter of the students, all these miracles seem to have soil, "Maybe, it can really come true...... Maybe in the near future, maybe, I'll see this day soon......"

Arnold finished signing and handed the contract to her, Qiao Yun turned around, leaned over to sign his name, the shutter sounded, almost forming a rhythmic accompaniment, they exchanged contracts at the same time, China's clothing industry also took a leap forward, this scene, recorded by countless cameras, became a historical moment. 166 Reading Network
