Chapter 80: Lucky girl, there will be a magnolia
Since her sister reminded Ning Qian to pay attention to her dress, Aimee began to study what to wear as a topic. After the joint venture with Wenbo, there were immediately many more people to deal with, especially visitors from all over the world. Every December, the heads of various countries gather in Germany for the global annual conference, and every January, they gather in Hong Kong to watch the release of new products made in China. International KA has also become an important customer to deal with, and Aimee realizes that she is indeed the spokesperson: the spokesperson of Wenbo in China, the spokesperson of Chinese companies in the world. How to wear it to meet this identity?
She simply began to design her own clothes, and eventually settled on the Chinese style. Her bones are small, and wearing a Western-style professional suit is actually not an advantage, no matter how she wears it, in terms of volume and aura, she looks more like an assistant or secretary than a boss. But if you wear Chinese clothes that are very slim, with a strong sense of design and fine workmanship, plus homemade accessories and unique shapes, you will immediately realize that this is definitely not an errand girl.
In order to save time and increase efficiency, she began to look for someone who could help her create the style she designed. Finally, on the same floor of their Shanghai City store, they found a small tailor shop that specialized in changing people's clothes. Their slightly larger business than ordinary trouser repair shops is to change the length of women's skirts and waist size, which is a little more enterprising than its peers, so that Aimee sees the possibility.
Every time she visits the store, she will go around and observe the store. The shopkeeper is a woman who has long hair coiled up high and always wears Chinese clothes, Aimee saw her dress, she knew that she must belong to someone with ideas, after many passes, after determining her style, Aimee brought her own design drawings, and explained to her the intention of entrusting her to make custom clothes, the shopkeeper looked at her hand-drawings, was surprised, and said enthusiastically: "Understand, I understand, can, can!" β
As a result, this woman named Chen Ruge became Aimee's regular clothing supplier. She is very intelligent and executing, and often discusses with Aimee how to make better results in terms of craftsmanship. All Aimee's imagination and yearning for clothes have been greatly satisfied here in Ruge.
"Mom, is this one pretty?" Every time Aimee goes back to Guangzhou to visit her mother, she will bring a few clothes to her mother for evaluation and guidance. Aimee, who returns to her mother in Guangzhou, will be T-shirts, shorts, sandals all day long, the climate, occasion and atmosphere of Guangzhou make it impossible for her to design clothes, and it will look particularly contrived when dressed like this, but in Shanghai, it is impossible to overstate how to wear it. The mother is very satisfied with the talent that her little daughter has inherited in fashion design: "Well, it looks good, and it has a lot of ideas!" It should also be easy to wear, although it is only your own clothes, how to put on and take off is more convenient, and it is also part of the design. "That's right, for example, the cheongsam style clothes, I panic when I wear them.
Aimee's dress soon became a topic of conversation for people who knew her, and foreigners generally liked it, such as Mr. FΓΌrst's wife, who would comment on her style as soon as they saw Aimee. even said that every time I met Aimee, I would guess what kind of clothes she would wear, which became a curiosity; But Chinese, on the contrary, are not used to seeing her wear such exaggerated clothes, such as Nan Zhicong, who came to Shanghai on a business trip, ate with Aimee and Pingdi, and criticized her dress throughout the meal: "How old are you, wearing such old-fashioned clothes, like an old aunt, how ugly!" Hurry up and change back into normal clothes! β
Aimee asked her sister, but her sister thought it was good: "This style is quite suitable for you, others wear it like this, it may indeed look rustic and old-fashioned, anyway, you look ghostly, like a foreigner, but there is a special contrast beauty, very good!" Of course, there is no way to ask Daylight, because his answer will always be: "My wife looks good in anything!" The tone was not a little perfunctory, revealing 120,000 sincerity. He actually replaced the screensaver of the computer with a photo of Aimee wearing a robe of his own design, and whenever someone asked him, he would proudly say: "This is my wife, this dress was designed by herself, isn't it?" β
"Awesome, this boss is really amazing!" That's what Huanzhong employees say. Some people are appreciative, while others are dissatisfied or even disgusted. If you want to do a good job, of course, you can't just dress yourself up to attract attention and make people memorable, but you also have to really implement everything in place.
Aimee can accept people once, twice, three, four or even five times when they don't understand, and then repeatedly teach, for the employees to make progress bit by bit and continue to encourage them, but what she can't tolerate the most is that when there is no action at all, she says a lot of reasons to her, and her gentle encouragement when the company is just starting out, she begins to demand more and more efficiency and execution, such strictness, so that some people are very uncomfortable. With the development of the company, more and more people report directly to her, and the difficulty of management is also increasing.
In order to be able to quickly roll out the outlets, she asked Carl to continue to be in charge of department stores and a KA system, and recruited a more mature sales manager who was tall, thin, well-dressed, typical of Shanghainese.
His powerful scenery made his little brothers in his previous company very envious. His former subordinate, Ji Luofeng, invited him out for a drink and asked if he could help recommend someone to work in Huanzhong, but Hawk didn't ask, so he readily agreed. The next day, after waking up, he was ready to go to work, and when he overturned the car key in his bag, he saw Ji Luofeng's resume carefully stuffed into his bag. She is a girl with a round face who wants to apply for the position of marketing manager. Hawk didn't think about it, and when he returned to the company, he approached Aimee and said that the company had such a personal recommendation when he was hiring. Aimee was always looking for talent, so she quickly called Vera over. That's right, it's Vera Liviera, who was planning to apply for a job as a financial manager.
When Aimee interviewed Vera, she didn't want to disappoint a stay-at-home mom who was trying to return to the workplace, so she should at least give her an interview to encourage her and let her see the beauty of society, right? Vera, who was waiting in the conference room, was a typical very good-looking Shanghai woman: fair-skinned, slender, sitting there quietly, noble, dusty, giving people a strong sense of distance, in Aimee's eyes, she was a white magnolia.
When Vera saw Aimee, she was also surprised: she didn't expect that the CEO of this foreign company turned out to be a woman of her age. When Aimee felt that the conversation was almost over, Vera began to become enthusiastic, she took the initiative to ask Aimee a lot of questions, and when she heard Aimee say that it was also because she became a mother that she started her own business to make toys, her original cold and arrogant face became softer. Aimee explained her intention to come for an interview: "Our finance manager just took over two days ago, we got to know each other first, and if we have the opportunity in the future, we will contact you. β
Vera finally smiled: "It's okay if I don't do finance, and I don't care how much my salary is." "It's a typical slow-burn type. Aimee still explained that there is no suitable position in front of us, and the two of us will get to know each other first to see if there is a suitable opportunity in the future.
Not long after Vera left, Aimee received an email from her. After Aimee saw it, she could no longer be seen as just an ordinary applicant. What exactly did Vera say in the email that made Aimee completely change her mind?
