"Okay, Mom, don't pretend anymore, I can't eat it. Qiao Yun remotely controlled Qiao's mother in the kitchen from the dining table, "I don't eat much starch at night now." ”

"Lose weight again?" Qiao's mother had some opinions, but she still came out with half a bowl of porridge, "You've lost weight like this and are still on a diet?"

"Is it very thin?" Qiao Yun touched her face, and her face was swollen, "It's not a diet, it's just that I've been in a hurry recently, and I've been moving less, so let's eat less starch, so as not to digest it." ”

"You should use your brain to supplement sugar. This kind of pseudoscience can't deceive Qiao's mother, she sat down opposite Qiao Yun while wiping her hands, stopped talking, and finally asked, "Don't it because of Qin Wei's fans...... You're afraid to go out, are you?"

"What do you say," Qiao Yun's tone was very relaxed, "Those weak chicken fans, can affect me? It's really a joke - besides, if you really want to exercise, there are treadmills at home, but I'm too busy to run." I didn't even pick you up when you came?"

"By the way, speaking of which, have you ever thanked the young man? The young man is very polite and entertains us very well. Qiao's mother had a good impression of Fu Zhan, "It's your partner, right? It's rare to have such an achievement at such a young age and such a good temper." ”

"I have a good temper, don't you praise me?" Qiao Yun didn't understand what Qiao's mother meant-it's not a coincidence, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother have been busy with work this year, and it is inconvenient to ask for leave, Qiao Yun has not caught up with several glorious moments, and cannot witness it on the spot, however, Qiao Yun's achievements have also made them earn enough face in front of relatives and friends, and as soon as her relationship with Qin Wei is made public, it will satisfy the vanity of her parents: good work, good family, good looks, and now you owe a child good, Qiao Yun can become an elite boss monster level 'other people's child'.

Originally, everything was good this year, and the mood should be good, but as soon as this relationship is made public, there are also pros and cons, now is the Internet era, everyone will go online, Qiao Yun was hacked on the Internet, I don't know who told Qiao's father and Qiao's mother - the second elder didn't say much, but occasionally missed a sentence or two, and the mainstream rumors and public opinion on the Internet are very clear, it is likely that he has been holding his glasses and carefully read it page by page under the lamp.

Qiao Yun was busy and dark, she didn't have much contact with her family, it was rare to call, and her parents didn't ask about this, so she pretended to be relaxed and didn't know, but of course you can imagine what she felt in her heart. This time, I happened to encounter Qin Wei's blog, and Qiao Yun couldn't come forward to pick it up at the airport in person - as soon as Qin Wei's blog was posted, her attention was immediately extremely high, and the paparazzi's car was parked again at the entrance of the community, so she had to ask someone else to pick it up. It's just that I didn't expect Fu Zhan to be so diligent, although his work was not easy, but he actually went to the airport to show it in person.

It's rare to come once a year, in previous years, Qiao Yun would take her parents out for a walk, but this year she couldn't go out to eat because she was hiding from the paparazzi. She asked the assistant to take Qiao's father and Qiao's mother to the flagship store to see, and she was happy and happy, but on the day she went, she happened to meet Qin Wei's brainless fans making trouble outside the door - the flagship store adopts a flexible reservation system, and they didn't dare to go in, so they held up a sign at the door and shouted slogans, and came from time to time, and it was quite eye-catching, so coincidentally Qiao's father and Qiao's mother saw it, those people scolded their daughters, can the two old people feel good in their hearts?

Qiao Yun has had an idea since she was a child, she herself knows that her parents are spoiled, they all act according to her eyes, that is, they have opinions in their hearts, as long as she likes it, they also let her do it, but this time, Qiao's parents and Qiao's mother's attitude towards Qin Wei has obviously weakened, and she has also said a few times [When I interact with celebrities, others think it is beautiful, but I only know how much pressure I have to bear, which may not be a good thing]...... Qin Wei was not famous before, when he was a new actor, they were quite optimistic, but now that Qin Wei is famous, he is more or less a big man, but their attitude is conservative, and the whole is upside down with the public.

"You have a good temper?" "Qiao's mother and Qiao's father also laughed, "Okay, good, you have a good temper - it's also rare, but Xiaofu's temper is better than yours, and it's even rarer." I see, no matter how bad a temper is, he can't lose his temper in front of his smiling face, and it should be quite comfortable to cooperate with such a person, right?"

"Comfortable wool, I still like Qin Wei like this. "My parents' careful thinking is obvious - in fact, I didn't want to hide it at all, Qiao Yun was very tired in her heart, but she didn't want to do it with her parents, she was out of luck, but she couldn't take care of the family, and she couldn't help it. had to support Qin Wei and oppose discrimination. "Fu Zhan looks good, but in fact, it's bad, don't be deceived by him, he's that person-"

She dragged her voice for a long time, "Anyway, you will know when you cooperate with him, everything follows you on the surface, but in fact, when you look back, you are led by his nose at all." ”

Some women are very strong, but they actually long for someone stronger to conquer her, but Qiao Yun ...... It's not that Qiao Yun doesn't like the feeling of being conquered, but she still prefers Qin Wei like this, Qin Wei is stronger than her, she likes to be conquered, Qin Wei is weaker than her, she likes the two of them to progress together. In fact, it's not a good thing to be different from person to person, but now that she and Qin Wei have also made it public, it can be regarded as settled again, Qiao Yun doesn't like to compare the advantages and disadvantages of her boyfriend and others, which is very and meaningless. "Although Qin Wei is not at first place, at least he is much better than Fu Zhan. ”

My daughter has been like this since she was a child, she must insist on it if she decides it, she wants to learn clothing, she wants to apply for a foreign school, and she wants to be with Qin Wei, whose family is far more than her own family, this is her idea, and her parents can see it most clearly, but she herself does not think it is bitter. Qiao's father and Qiao's mother glanced at each other, but they had nothing to say, and instead laughed at her, "He wants to be so good, why are you breaking up with others?"

"That is, how do we know who is good? Don't they all follow you, you think it's good, why don't you let people come to the door to pay New Year's greetings? People's mothers are so open-minded, invite us to spend Chinese New Year's Eve together, and you still say no." ”

"Don't say it, Lao Qiao, I think this idea is quite good, just the three of us celebrate the New Year, it's not interesting to be deserted, the two families have a New Year's dinner together, and you can rub some small mahjong after the meal, and it's boring to separate the two sides. "You talked to me, and we talked. Only then did Qiao Yun know that Qin Wei said that it was actually Ms. Lin who proposed to let their family go to the New Year, and it seemed that the parents had also invited them privately.

How close are her parents and the Qin family in private?

"Oh, I can't talk to you. Qiao Yun was embarrassed, so she had to sacrifice the ultimate weapon, "You don't understand it...... Anyway, I don't want it if I say no!"

Just after eating, she sneaked back to her room, opened the PSD file on the computer, and seriously thought about this question: Did Ms. Lin change her gentle means to deal with her?

She thought it was very possible, but the bad thing was that she couldn't think of a way to solve it after thinking about it for a long time, so she could only sit on all sides and sit in a troubled city.

Qiao Yun couldn't help but be angry with Qin Wei and sent him a text message, [It's all your fault!]

- She knew that it was impossible for Qin Wei to return in time, and he was now used to sending her a schedule, so that she would not be cranky if she couldn't find him for a while. It's just that it's always a better mood, Qiao Yun hummed a song and opened the software, looking at hundreds of files, she couldn't help sighing, her good mood turned bad again, she opened the mailbox and checked, but she didn't see Fu Zhan's email, so she simply called him directly to take the soul, "Mr. Fu, aren't you, you gave me a loud picture of your chest before you went, and now it's been a few days, and you can't send a good resume?"

Fu Zhan smiled very gently on the other end of the phone, and said with concern, "Are you working so late again? pay attention to your body, spend more time with your uncle and aunt, and it's okay to rest for a few days." ”

Twice a year, four seasons clothes, at least ten or more items per season, plus the often sold classics should also make some small adjustments from time to time, as well as the feedback and docking of the production and sales side, a regular brand, no matter how small the scale of the designer is super busy, a little bit of the brand, a person is absolutely busy. Those design masters wear many hats, on the one hand, they serve as directors in big brands, and on the other hand, they create their own personal brands, in fact, strictly speaking, the work cannot be done by them alone, and there must be the support of the entire design team behind them. However, even so, they deserve the praise of 'energy', and even if they are only responsible for the overall creative and design, and supervise the work of the rest of the designers, it is a very heavy workload.

The development of [rhyme] follows the trajectory of the general brand, at the beginning it is a relatively simple product structure, and gradually the product line is definitely expanding, at least to cover the basic categories, and the work is more and more. Qiao Yun definitely does not have the ambition to contract by himself, but it is not so simple to expand the team in China, [Yun] will accept GA's investment, in fact, there are some considerations in this regard - just recruit directly, people know what brand you are? With GA endorsement, you can draw the pie of the future more attractively, and then borrow the group's connections, so that you can reach the students who are optimistic about the mentors in the top colleges: although the graduates of fashion design are famous and difficult to find jobs, it can only be said that the resources of this industry are extremely concentrated in the upper echelons, and the truly outstanding talents still have to rely on grabbing.

In order to solve this increasingly imminent problem, regardless of the imminent New Year's Day, Fu Zhan went to New York for an interview in person a few days after picking up Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, and swore before leaving that he would definitely bring a few good seedlings back, but this time, not a single email has been sent until now, the phone call, looking at him left and right, I want to know that it is not going well, Qiao Yun can't help but be a little frustrated, and lose interest in laughing at him, "The salary is so high, and it also includes room and board, and the air ticket for the return vacation twice a year, so I can't find anyone?"

"Maybe in their cognition, China's development level is still a bit low," Fu Zhan is also helpless, "I contacted some outstanding graduates, they are still very interested in our salary, and after reading the introduction of the brand, they also recognize our design level." The main confusion is focused on the place of work, and most people can't understand why we have an office in China, and for them, if you really are that good...... Then there is no doubt that you should definitely come to New York. ”

This is irrefutable common sense, the design geniuses that emerged from various countries in the history of clothing have indeed gone from their own countries to Paris and New York one after another, and have also created their own careers - Lebanese and Japanese, these designers have careers in Europe and the United States, not in their own countries. Qiao Yun was stumbling for a long time, and she couldn't think of a solution, "I'm ...... So what should I do, Fu Zhan?"

After a long time, her words unconsciously brought a little trust, and she no longer liked Fu Zhan's city, but she couldn't help but rely on his ability to solve problems.

"Actually, the easiest solution, of course, is to move the office to New York. Fu Zhan was really not impatient at all, his tone was still so unhurried, and he even joked with Qiao Yun. Qiao Yun snorted at him, "When are you still teasing me, how can I go to New York?"

"Yes, if you're just a designer, that's the easiest solution, but now the problem is that you have to take pictures regularly, and Meng is still studying and can't go to New York with you. ”

"On the one hand, on the other hand, our brand is rooted in China, how can we move? No Internet celebrity has ever left China-" Qiao Yun suddenly realized that what she said was wrong, and quickly changed her words, "It should be said that there has never been an Internet celebrity who has taken pictures overseas, so the breath of life will be very insufficient, we will definitely not go to New York, it is impossible in all aspects." ”

"Then there's another option, which is to have the design department in New York, and you manage it remotely most of the time. Fu Zhan was not surprised, and calmly put forward the second piece of advice, "You will be a trapeze artist for a while, working in New York for a few months a year, but this is the only option that can take into account the needs of both parties." ”

If a person suddenly proposes to open a window in the wall, everyone will probably object, but if he proposes to remove the roof first, most people will think that it is better to open the window. Qiao Yun has now fallen into this mental stereotype: although she doesn't like Fu Zhan's opinion, she also knows that Fu Zhan has a point - the mobility of designers is still relatively strong, and many outstanding graduates or junior designers will find a job at a certain brand first, so that they can have enough income to stay in New York, while keeping an eye out for other opportunities to become famous in one fell swoop. It can be said that any ambitious designer wants to create his own brand, and the designer who wants to create his own brand cannot leave New York, this is an unsolvable cycle, and at present, it seems that GA's golden sign and generous treatment are not enough to break.

Of course, she can also raise her salary again, or absorb some less outstanding middle talents, but Qiao Yun herself has read it in Parsons, and she also knows the talent of this industry - this is really an industry where all resources flow to the top, wealth, fame, and even talent, and the gap between top talents and excellent talents and mediocre talents is clear to cruelty. She couldn't even stand herself who had just come out of Parsons, and that was telling. So, what is she recruiting these designers for? Just to train them for a while, and then let them go and add to herself?

However, this is not an easy decision to make, Fu Zhan said lightly, 'remote control management most of the time', how can a team lack a leader for a long time? She has not done it, once she has made this decision, at least in the first few years, she will definitely spend most of her time in New York grinding design, plus the time to open shows around the world, I am afraid that she can only find time to return to China regularly to take pictures, and it is even likely that Meng Ze will come directly in the end...... She doesn't have time, he has, and he can travel abroad, it's impossible not to be willing, this is the most convenient arrangement.

How can she control the company? How can she grasp the pulse of the development of domestic Internet culture? From such a distance, will Brother Qing fall to Fu Zhan again? She really can't touch the network of suppliers and agents. Even if, even these problems can be solved...... So, what should she do with Qin Wei?

"You're going to make me die of overwork. Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Qiao Yun replied carelessly, without revealing the slightest inclination. "For more than ten hours, flying back and forth like this?

"If you don't, you're already on the verge of overwork. Fu Zhan reasonably pointed out, "What time is it, Miss Qiao, are you still working?"

His gentleness, which had always been a casual mask, now showed a little genuine concern, buried only by a gentle sarcasm, "If you must like to call me at twelve o'clock in the evening, then I'd rather I received it at noon." ”

...... "If he said it clearly, she would have gone back happily, but after twisting it like this, Qiao Yun didn't know how to deal with the pain and disagreement in the conversation, and after a while, she said bluntly, "How do I know if you want to deliberately exclude me?"

"If you think of it this way, I'm moving my office to New York at any time. Fu Zhan immediately said, "The country is left to Chen Indigo, anyway, he has always felt that we put a lot of pressure on him, just right, give him room to play, see what he can do - maybe he can give us some surprises?"

This...... She knows Chen Di's ability best, and she has confidence in him, Fu Zhan came to New York to open up the European and American markets, and she doesn't have to worry about being hollowed out......

Qiao Yun shook her head, "How can such a big thing be talked about on the phone?"

She couldn't help but say, and directly delayed the dead line to a few months later, "You recruit well first, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, send me the resume if you receive it, I really can't find it, then wait until you come back in the next year." ”

She paused for a moment, knowing that it was inappropriate, but still asked, "Was the resume sent to our personnel mailbox?"

The work mailbox can be seen directly on the server, and it is useless to delete it privately, Fu Zhan's laughter came from the other end of the phone, gently, but it made Qiao Yun's face feverish: "Are you not at ease? Do you want me to change the email address to your account?"

Qiao Yun also knew that she was stingy again, and she didn't know how to defend herself, so she had to lengthen her voice, "David ......"

Maybe she was too much this time, Fu Zhan sighed on the other end of the phone, and didn't reply to her, but hung up the phone directly.

…… Really angry?

Qiao Yunxian couldn't believe it: after working together for so long, Fu Zhan had never hung up her phone once, and it could even be said that he had never lost control of his emotions. He always smiled at her messing around, a bit condescending and annoying, but always accommodating.

She is very willful, she knows herself, and sometimes she is also tolerated by him to give up some bad temper, but every time she crosses the line, she also has an abacus in her heart, and she will not 'bully' too much, this time it is indeed a little too much, when she said it, she was apprehensive in her heart - but I didn't expect that Fu Zhan was really emotional.

This may also be a means for him to manipulate her, of course she recognizes this rationally, but this time Qiao Yun is indeed a little unreasonable, she tried to work for a while, but she was always a little absent-minded, and from time to time she thought about his suggestions, which was indeed very reasonable, and it was not impossible.

But......

Didi sounded, her mobile phone shook, Qiao Yun picked it up and looked, it was Qin Wei who sent a text message.

【Downstairs】

Concise and to the point, startling her, Qiao Yun hurriedly walked to the window - impossible, didn't you make up the shooting in Province Z today? How could she come back?

"Damn!" looked down, she couldn't help but burst: It's such a cold day, in the middle of the night, he really came?! 166 Reading Network
