At the same time, in the center of the city, not far from a scoop of drink, in an office building containing dozens of design firms, Xu Qing knocked on the door of a certain floor. The door is printed with the logo of "Luo Wenwen", which is said to be the name of the founder, and it is not only the same surname as the famous design company Rococo, but also the format of ABB.

It's just that there is already a Rococo in the industry, and it is difficult to have a second Loewenwen.

When the little girl at the front desk heard that she was coming to report, the expression on her face was wonderful, and she secretly looked at her while leading her to see the director. When passing through the office work area, under the gesture of the little sister squeezing her eyebrows, her colleagues cast "enthusiastic" glances.

The leader of the third design team suddenly went insane when he was close to the deadline, ran to the rooftop to make a big fuss, and resigned collectively with a group of colleagues in the group.

Design companies are under great pressure, especially if there are dozens of competitors in the same building, or in Jingdezhen, a city with a relatively scarce and single industry, product updates are changing with each passing day, and the slightest slack will be eliminated by the market.

The leader of the three groups is still being treated in a psychiatric hospital, and the media reporters have not given up digging up the lackluster follow-up, and suddenly the company has a new team leader who is in danger, can colleagues not be excited and curious?

Xu Qing knocked on the door and got permission, and then entered the office. Gu Yan hadn't finished talking on the phone, and shouted angrily: "I've already recruited people, and now it's too late to fart." It's okay if we don't respect each other, can you respect the new employees, how can you make me a director like this? Okay, fair competition, three days for three days. ”

Cutting off the phone, Gu Yan's expression was slightly gloomy, and he beckoned Xu Qing to come and sit.

"Did you hear it all? Luo Wenwen is not bigger than the Rococo platform, good reputation, can attract a lot of customers, we do most of the old customer business, in the past is customized according to customer needs, this is not a while ago a jumping off the building to make a fuss, Luo Wenwen is about to go to the blacklist of the design company, now there is nothing to say outside, the most exaggerated also said that we can't come up with a plan for a few months, and the designers are dead. ”

Gu Yan was speechless, angry and sighed, "Now the primary goal is to reverse the status quo and save the image, the company has discussed for a long time and decided to try the blind box gameplay, just a dealer is also interested, we signed a new clause, Luo Wenwen according to the theme of product shipment, they promote in the form of blind boxes, it is a gamble." I don't have much time to buy you, but in three days, hand in the butterfly blueprints. ”

The butterfly change is the theme of this gamble, and the main body is a set of tea utensils. Recognized by a number of dealers, the key words that everyone locked are "beautiful", "fragile" and "vitality".

Although the current blind box gameplay is generally supported by young people, it is too risky for a design company, especially a design company specializing in ceramics. There is no considerable data on design costs, manufacturing costs, promotion costs, brand effect and public appreciation.

Xu Qing didn't know what situation Luo Wenwen would be in to agree to this form of cooperation, but since the company had already made a decision, she had no right to interfere with anything as a designer.

She calculates the lead time, saying, "I'm afraid three days is a bit tight. ”

"That's the maximum amount of grace I can get for you. If it hadn't been for my fire, the drawings might have been delivered to the factory by now. Liao Yifan is really good, it is obviously the work of three groups, can I estimate that the team leader jumped off the building and committed suicide? Hurry up and recruit you to fight the fire, but I didn't expect his second group to sit still, so he handed over the butterfly change drawings to the boss behind my back early in the morning. ”

Gu Yan laughed, "What kind of person, it's a shame that you are still old classmates, just this kind of behavior, if I don't have me here, everyone will offend him." ”

Xu Qing was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Gu Yan saw that she was confused, and was also stunned: "Didn't Liao Yifan tell you?" I clearly told him that I would recruit you to be the leader of the third team and follow up on the follow-up of the butterfly change. Isn't he your college classmate? Didn't contact you? ”

Xu Qing searched for the name Liao Yifan in his mind, which was actually not unfamiliar, and in the first year or two of his departure, he often sent her messages. Later, she didn't reply much, and there were fewer messages.

In the past two years, I have hardly heard from this old classmate.

Xu Qing explained: "I left Jingdezhen after graduating, and I didn't have much contact with my classmates. ”

"I see." Gu Yan said, "Then I'm quite curious, was Liao Yifan like this when he was in college?" Butterfly change was originally the work of the third group, and it has nothing to do with the second group, and I don't know what he thinks, knowing that you are the new leader of the third group, and you are still rushing to do the work at this juncture? If the boss hadn't informed me just now, I wouldn't have known that he had handed in the drawings, and if he said that he was afraid of delaying, the factory and the dealer would be held responsible. I'm surprised, why didn't he pay it a few days earlier? Besides, can't I be notified in advance of the delivery? I'm also the director of the design team, and I invited you to put out the fire, but I was put on a side, where do I put my face? Really when I'm a bully? Okay, I won't say more, time is for you, you compete fairly, just three days, okay? ”

Xu Qing said, "I can." ”

Gu Yan smiled sincerely this time.

The girl in front of her was wearing a simple and generous white dress, short hair with ears, a sea-blue glass bead on her earlobe, and a pair of sheepskin flats at her feet.

When she said "I can", she was completely convincing, such a girl who looked non-offensive could be qualified to be the leader of Luo Wenwen's design team three, after all, in addition to her appearance, her resume is very beautiful.

The world's largest designer platform [Unicorn] non-contracted million designers, has designed windows and counters for first-line brands such as Hermes and Chanel, and has in-depth cooperation with the top designer company Rococo, on all searchable designer forums, her personal fame and design sales are ranked in the top three, and it is rumored that the total price of her design works has surpassed the designers behind her by several times, and she is unbeatable on the celebrity list.

However, the title of "million designer" also means "million bubbles" in the ceramic industry. There are many ceramic cultural and creative companies that have failed, and since then they no longer believe in millions of designs, so compared to blind box gambling, spending millions to invite her to join the crumbling Luo Wenwen is a bigger gamble.

Gu Yan mentioned the company's positioning: "Luo Wenwen aims to create a deep ceramic cultural and creative design brand, pay attention to aesthetics, cultural heritage and functionality, the relationship between the three is the largest proportion of functionality, because our ultimate goal is not to make a beautiful ceramic shelf, more to apply to practice, to achieve more possibilities, of course, including sales." ”

"I understand."

She doesn't talk much, and she doesn't talk as loudly as it is outside, but it's really not very enthusiastic.

After all, it's a designer, and it's normal to have a little shelf. Gu Yan was embarrassed to say too much on the first day, so he stopped at the point, and said with a smile at the end: "I have never missed the vision of selecting people, I believe you will not let me down." ”

Xu Qing was puzzled: "Why me?" ”

Gu Yan is the director of the design group, coordinating the three design groups, and is also the boss of the design group, it stands to reason that the butterfly change is approaching the deadline, and the leader of the three groups is driven crazy, compared to recruiting new people to save the field, fair competition between the first group and the second group is a more optimal plan, why take the risk of adopting a designer who has not lived in Jingdezhen at all in recent years, and even does not know what is popular in Jingdezhen now? Hasn't she thought about taking on a group of butterfly transformation tasks?

"I know what you're thinking, the blind box gameplay is too risky, and I don't want to get into trouble. At my age, being in control and making a smooth transition is the best option. ”

Compared with young girls, Gu Yan already has the wind and frost of a mature woman between her eyebrows and eyes, and there are a few fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she laughs. She was honest, "But there are advantages to taking risks, and it has always been a matter of seeking wealth and danger, and when you are cornered, look ahead, maybe the opportunity is under the cliff, are you right?" ”

Xu Qing smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Gu Yan stepped forward to shake hands with her, solemnly handed over the important task of butterfly change, and finally sighed with emotion: "Xu Qing, you have something in you that others don't have." ”

Xu Qing reported on the first day that the personnel department had arranged a workstation for her, and in a corner by the window, she could see the Changjiang River passing through the city. She has two team members, a man and a woman, both of whom are newly recruited college students after the former team leader jumped off the building, one is named Xia Yang and the other is called Liang Mei.

Xia Yang has dark skin, grew up on the beach in Qingdao, grinned with big white teeth, and smiled full of vitality. Liang Mei has long hair and falls off her shoulders, and there is a small mole on the tip of her nose, which makes her generous and cute, and she treats people and things in a good way.

Xu Qing said hello to them briefly, and took out a pair of small ornaments from his bag and gave them them, which were two puppies snuggled together for warmth.

The knick-knacks were too ambiguous, making the two children blush to their necks. Looking at the LOGO below, other colleagues are not calm.

"Grandma Xiang's special customized model for the Year of the Dog, only VIP customers are eligible, and you can't buy it if you want to buy it outside."

"Is it so proud?"

"Very good, your team leader is not simple!"

Xu Qing is ready to go home after completing the employment, and Gu Yan has permission to complete the design draft at home for these three days. Xia Yang and Liang Mei have been in the company for a week, playing soy sauce every day, sitting on the bench very uneasily, and finally having a boss and looking at her.

Xu Qing told them about the concept of butterfly transformation and asked them to design a set of tea ware drawings. Xia Yang chased after him and asked, "Boss, I'll design a set of matryoshka style tea utensils, okay?" ”

Seeing Xu Qing's brows furrowed, she only left the next sentence, "You can do it yourself", and as soon as she left, the young people immediately held a tea party.

"Matryoshka dolls? What do you think? This is going to change my boss, and the shoehorn has already slapped me in the face, and your boss actually said that he would do it, so personal. ”

"I also think she's very sweet."

"Are you blind? Where can you see that she is sweet? ”

"I really saw it! She seemed to smile when she gave us the knick-knacks, a little cramped, very cute. ”

"Is there any spell for the three groups? You're not going crazy too, are you? ”

"Seriously, don't you really think she's sweet?"

"It's not good, it looks like her temper is okay, but it's a little cold, but she actually prepared a gift in advance, it shouldn't be difficult to get along with, right?"

"At least it's a good shot."

"Muh."

"What are you doing, I really don't know where she came from?"

"What?"

The office culture is like this, in addition to the large group with leaders, it will also split into more than N small groups according to the situation. Newcomers in the workplace have not yet been beaten by society, and they can naively discuss what kind of new leaders they are, but when they arrive in a large group, they look at the latest entry notice sent by personnel and the new team leader invited to join the group, and they begin to greet each other mechanically, and they experience the second compulsory course in their lives obediently and skillfully.

Xu Qing looked at the expression bar from WeChat one by one, and selected a few yellow-faced villains in turn, who all felt bad, and finally clicked on the expression of shaking hands and sent it out, which was regarded as a greeting to everyone.

She closed her phone and was followed by footsteps.

"Xu Qing."

She turned her head and saw that she was standing still.
