Chapter Forty-Nine: The Resolute Sky
That morning, Man Tianhao arrived at the conference room on the 19th floor very early, and he didn't know why he came here so early to wait for the arrival of the employees.
A dignified president, who personally presides over the meeting of the design department, has been jokingly called the most diligent boss by the employees, why should he come here early to wait for the meeting? He looked at the empty conference room and laughed self-deprecatingly.
When the new designer appeared in the conference room wearing a T-shirt and jeans, Man Tianhao frowned.
"Why?" Man Tianhao couldn't understand the geology and asked her.
"I'm sorry, I can't wear those clothes." Xia Xue said resolutely with a cold face.
"Any questions?" He asked.
"It's too ostentatious, it's not suitable for me......" Xia Xue tried and tried those skirts early in the morning, either low-cut or exposed her thighs, she wondered why Yang Yali would give her such clothes.
Man Tianhao looked at her white-washed black T-shirt and frowned, he really didn't have a good feeling at all, I really don't know how many times she has to challenge him to bear the bottom line.
From the first time I saw her at the order meeting, I was drinking and causing chaos......
He texted her to talk about something, and she actually replied to him: You sent the wrong person......
asked for a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan, which had broken through his bottom line and agreed, but she added a new condition: she couldn't go to work......
On the first day of work, I had a meeting like a funny clown, and I borrowed 300,000 from him after work......
This employee named Xia Xue completely broke the inherent concept of the designer in the company, and there are many female designers in the company, even if they are not all dressed delicately and decently like Yang Yali, they are at least a little creative and tasteful, how can there be such a female designer now, every time I see her, she is a raunchy denim T-shirt, carrying a broken bag and swaggering, the only time she wears a skirt, or a self-made model that is not of grade at all.
He even wondered if he was sloppy in his hiring, was this hiring employees? It's obviously to invite an aunt and grandmother whose life is a mess!
But he also knew why he wanted to compromise and tolerate her again and again.
Because he was too disappointed in the design ability of the men's wear department, the rigidity of thinking is the overall problem of designers, and even the problem of the entire clothing industry, and the international fashion trend is limited to accepting and not accepting, imitating and not imitating, and few people are willing to study deeply, learn, and even surpass and innovate. Only she gave him a glimmer of hope.
Her Batman costume made his eyes shine and made him want to get to know her.
Her creative thinking once again made him recognize and appreciate, and he really wanted to use her to try it.
However, it turned out to be too costly to try her out!
He felt that if she couldn't come up with some high-quality work, he might be able to skin her alive.
A few days ago, the sketch she sent, full of clothes in storage bags, he smiled after looking at it, what kind of creativity was that? Although it is not very mature, it can be said that it is the only product of whimsical and deep thinking in this batch of design drafts, so that it is possible to knock on the door of the Chinese menswear market.
From that moment on, Man Tianhao was looking forward to today's discussion, he got up early, drove his beloved sports car refreshed, and went straight to the 19th floor conference room of Shengshi, he was full of expectations that there would be some changes in the design department.
Due to Man Tianhao's sudden early departure, Assistant Liu had to inform the secretary Hua La on the way, and quickly urged all the designers to arrive at the conference room as soon as possible, so that the president could wait for a long time, and the consequences were unimaginable......
All the designers rushed all the way to the phone after receiving the call.
Man Tianhao looked at his watch and decided to start the meeting.
"I'm meeting fifteen minutes early today, do you know why?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Because I'm looking forward to this discussion, which will determine the direction of Menswear this year, I'm eager to meet you and start a lively discussion with you. Aren't you looking forward to it? ”
Everyone nodded and applauded.
Man Tianhao waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite to me, I don't need you to take care of your emotions, I want you to have a passion for designing fashion, even fanaticism, I want you to have a hard time sleeping and being highly responsible for your works, just like me, because I am eager to discuss, come here early." You know what I mean? ”
Man Tianhao smiled unrestrainedly, his voice was low, and his handsome face was shrouded in a cold and domineering atmosphere.
The people here didn't even dare to nod their heads at the moment, and they didn't dare to come out again.
"I've seen all these design sketches, and now, I want to know, who thinks that their design drafts can allow Shengshi to occupy the Chinese menswear market? Who has such faith? Stand up. ”
As soon as these words came out, the venue of nearly 30 people was silent.
Man Tianhao looked around the venue in silence and snorted coldly: "What? Don't even have that confidence? A work without self-confidence is garbage! Don't fool me?! If you're not satisfied, why don't you fix it until you're satisfied? Are you messing around with your homework? ”
Man Tianhao frowned, a look of disdain.
At this moment, Xia Xue stood up tremblingly, mustered up the courage to tremble and said: "I believe in the 'Lone Ranger', which can occupy the Chinese men's clothing market. ”。
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to her.
The eagle-like gaze shot at Xia Xue, he looked at her, and she became even more nervous.
"It's good that there is finally one person who is confident in their work. Who else? Have this confidence? The anger of the sky was easing.
Another male designer stood up.
Yang Yali also stood up.
A few more people stood up one after another......
Man Tianhao waited for a while, and then said coldly: "Okay, only half of the people have the confidence to occupy the market, and the remaining half of the people, now, leave the conference room and go to the personnel department to go through the resignation procedures!" ”
Everyone looked at Man Tianhao in surprise, this consequence was too surprising, and a male colleague said excitedly: "Mr. Man, I just haven't matured this time, can you give me another chance?" ”
Man Tianhao looked at the colleague and said with a smile: "I can give you another chance, but not now." But when you learn to grasp the opportunity and learn to fight for the opportunity, I will give you the opportunity. ”
"It's too cruel, you can't deny a person just because of a design, right?!" Another colleague said angrily.
"There is nothing more cruel than market competition, I am just following the rules of the market, I am not denying you, the dismissal is just reminding you that you need to re-understand your work ability and attitude." Man Tianhao replied.
Man Tianhao looked around, and continued to say calmly and domineeringly: "I ask each of you to face market competition, not just face my requirements, if I accept your sloppy, perfunctory, and failing works again and again, and let you lie on a comfortable hotbed to live, it will cost you your life competitiveness, so now, please leave here, and when you are ready, you can come to me at any time, the prosperous world does not raise waste, but it is also always open to real talents." ”
More than a dozen designers left the scene one after another, anger, helplessness and humiliation written all over their faces......
"Okay, the rest of you, please take your seats. Staying does not mean that your design is recognized by the market, it only shows that you are responsible for the work and have a sense of responsibility for the prosperous world, and I am also willing to work with such employees. ”
It only took fifteen minutes for Man Tianhao to dismiss half of the staff in the design department, which was something he had wanted to do for a long time, but at this moment he wanted to figure out how to do it and decided to act. He wants to let unqualified employees quit on their own, leaving employees who are worth reusing and starting a career together.
"Now the meeting is officially open. Xia Xue, you are the first to stand up and show confidence in yourself, so it's up to you to introduce your work first! ”
Xia Xue stood up in a panic, cleared her throat, took out the speech she had prepared, and was about to read it, but was interrupted by Man Tianhao.
“NO! Don't read the manuscript and talk about your ideas as if you were a friend. Man Tianhao said.
Friend? Just fired a friend who just fired half of the staff in the design department?
Xia Xue closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she wanted to show the quality of an actor and focus on performing her own works.
She stepped out of her seat, stood in front of the clipboard in a dignified manner, and calmly began to talk about her design philosophy:
"My grandmother used to be a woman who was very good at making clothes, she told me that the men in our family have a common characteristic, that is, they don't like to carry bags when they go out, I have observed my grandfather and my father, it is true, they don't like to carry things out, mobile phones, wallets always like to be in their pockets, even if they lose a few times, they still don't like to carry bags out. Do you know how my grandma solved this problem? ”
Xia Xue's question, no one paid attention.
Only Man Tianhao encouraged her to continue with his eyes.
"In my grandmother's days, she always made her own clothes, and she would always make a few big pockets of clothes and pants, and told me that because men like to be relaxed and free, and they don't like to carry heavy loads, which is the nature of men. Is my grandma very wise? ”
Finally someone nodded in response.
Xia Xue gratefully continued: "This time I watched the video of the French fashion exhibition also gave me the same feeling, that is, fashion design is returning to nature, free and casual, unrestrained, although the times change and the region is different, but human hearts have the same expectations. And what is the reality of us Chinese? The pressure is getting bigger and bigger, it seems that no one can completely relax and have no pressure, the house, the car, the children, the future, are our expectations and pressures, so we yearn for an imaginary free place even more. ”
Xia Xue stopped and wrote the name of her work on the small blackboard: Lone Ranger.
"Is there a consensus on the name? You know what it means when you hear it, right? I like to use such cheesy names, because they are like code names, they have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, whether it is Spider-Man or Maverick, they all understand what it is as soon as they hear it. Xia Xue looked at Man Tianhao, they had discussed the role of names on clothes, and she knew that he understood.
"So, what kind of concept does the Lone Ranger dress convey to people?" Xia Xue continued.
