Section 498-for-tat
I saw Song Yazhu take a deep breath and said slowly:
"Mr. Zhang, Zeng Qiuyun is the designer who participated in the poster design with me, she was not brought by me, but came as a designer herself."
Zhang Wanyou turned his head to look at Zeng Qiuyun and asked in surprise:
"Really?"
Zeng Qiuyun nodded:
"That's true."
After speaking, Zeng Qiuyun lowered his head and was silent, as if he didn't know how to speak next. And Zhang Wanyou had a cold face, as if he was in a displeased mood.
Song Yazhu saw that Zeng Qiuyun still didn't speak, and hurriedly explained for her:
"Mr. Zhang, Xiao Zeng was asked by me to come back, if you want to blame me, blame me. I knew Zeng Qiuyun's situation, but I still did it, and I didn't even report it to you, I'm really sorry. But the poster design of the "Gao Ge" movie has extremely high quality requirements, and I don't have much time left. For the sake of the quality of the movie poster, I will take it upon myself to let the design level be a little higher, Xiao Zeng will help me, I hope you can understand, and also give Zeng Qiuyun a chance to make up for it. You can rest assured, I participated in the whole process of poster design this time, and each one was strictly controlled, and there was absolutely no plagiarism. ”
But after Song Yazhu said this, Zhang Wanyou was still silent, looking unmoved. Zhang Wanyou took a sip of the tea on the table, and then slowly moved his gaze to Zeng Qiuyun. seems to be saying to Song Yazhu and Zeng Qiuyun that he wants to listen to Zeng Qiuyun's explanation now, not Song Yazhu.
And Song Yazhu's words seemed to give Zeng Qiuyun encouragement, and under Zhang Wanyou's gaze, Zeng Qiuyun finally raised his head slowly, and said in a firm tone:
"Mr. Zhang, I made a mistake before, and I sincerely apologize to you. I know that as a senior designer, it will be difficult for you to trust me anymore if you actually plagiarize. But no matter what you think of me, I think I made this leak and it should be up to me to fill it. This time, I really want to rely on my own strength to make up for my mistakes last time. I don't expect you to be able to change my opinion, but please don't deny the movie poster and the efforts of Baichuan Advertising Agency because of my personal reasons, okay? ”
After saying this, Zeng Qiuyun was very apprehensive in her heart, she always felt that people like Zhang Wanyou had always done things uprightly and brightly, and there was no room for a grain of sand in her eyes, and she would definitely not accept her apology. But Song Yazhu created the opportunity to untie the knot for herself, and she didn't want to refuse. Anyway, both horizontally and vertically are "dead", so it's better to give it a go, maybe there is still a little room for maneuver.
Unexpectedly, hearing what Zeng Qiuyun said, Zhang Wanyou's attitude suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees. He slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and then suddenly laughed:
"Forget it, don't mention the past, you can change your mistakes to be a good designer!"
After speaking, Zhang Wanyou turned sideways and gently patted Zeng Qiuyun's shoulder:
"Xiao Zeng, in fact, the most important thing for a job is not ability, but character. I fired you at that time, not because you designed plagiarized works for Haitian Film and Television Company, or because you had a black history of plagiarism, but because you didn't be honest with me. As the boss of the company, I can tolerate employees making mistakes once or twice, but I will never allow malicious deception and disguise. If a company wants to develop sustainably, the spiritual quality of employees is as important as their ability, and they must be humane. So what I need is a team that assists each other, is friendly with each other, and trusts each other, not just a group of professional technicians. You did that, and I saw your attitude, and I think that's a good thing. ”
Seeing that Zhang Wanyou forgave himself so easily, and put on a very approachable appearance, Zeng Qiuyun felt a little incredulous:
"But Mr. Zhang, I just participated in the design of the new poster without authorization, aren't you really angry?"
Zhang Wanyou said with a smile:
"As a boss, if you were so easy to get angry, wouldn't you have been angry with those employees under your hand a long time ago? Although I'm not angry, it's impossible to say that I don't have a prejudice against you, after all, I'm a human being, not a god. But I like the poster I designed so much that I can't wait to put it into the market for publicity, so why would I be angry? If it weren't for the new movie poster, I don't think I would have let go of my preconceptions about you easily. ”
As soon as Zhang Wanyou's words came out, Zeng Qiuyun suddenly felt as if a big knot in his heart had been unraveled, and he suddenly felt a lot easier. Although the mistake has been made, it is good to be able to make up for it, and Zeng Qiuyun feels much better.
And after Song Yazhu heard Zhang Wanyou's words, in addition to being surprised by Zhang Wanyou's magnanimity, she was extremely happy for Zeng Qiuyun. She took Zeng Qiuyun's hand with some excitement and said:
"Yes, no matter what has happened before, it doesn't change the fact that you are a participant in this poster design. This poster is so popular with Mr. Zhang, thanks to you coming back to help me. ”
Zeng Qiuyun knew that Song Yazhu was encouraging himself, so he also sincerely shook Song Yazhu's hand:
"Thank you, Masatake."
Looking at the friendly appearance of the two, Zhang Wanyou couldn't help but praise Song Yazhu in his heart. This Xiao Song is not only dedicated to the sake of Baichuan Company, but also smart, frank, and kind. This Zeng Qiuyun is obviously a-for-tat person who is against her everywhere, but she can do her best to help Zeng Qiuyun after Zeng Qiuyun is down. Such a valuable quality is rare nowadays.
Seeing the hands of the two who had not parted for a long time, Zhang Wanyou couldn't help laughing:
"Come on, don't show sisterhood here with me. Let's get back to the point, I really have a few questions for you. ”
After speaking, Zhang Wanyou waved his hand, and the secretary Xiaotian quickly took out the computer and projected the 8 movie posters designed in the room.
Next, Zhang Wanyou raised his own questions about the design content and details of the poster to Song Yazhu and Zeng Qiuyun, and Song Yazhu and Zeng Qiuyun also answered them one by one.
After listening to the answers of the two, Zhang Wanyou felt very satisfied, nodded and said:
"It seems that you have really done a lot of research on the movie, and some of the details in it are almost the same as I thought. There are some points that I didn't even think of how to express, but you also expressed them through such a simple plane, which is really a very good poster design. This series of posters, which is better than the series that Xiao Zeng won before, seems to me to be on a higher level, fully understands the essence of the movie, and I really like it so much. In particular, Masatake made the poster of the little boy holding a kite, and just looking at it, I felt the urge to cry. The fusion of innocence and complexity, the cutting of sorrow and joy, makes people look very enjoyable! ”
Song Yazhu was a little embarrassed when she heard Zhang Wanyou praise herself so bluntly:
"I also stumbled into it by mistake, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration...... You also know that inspiration is hard to come by. ”
Zhang Wanyou laughed:
"You can't do it by mistake! If it weren't for the fact that you are so loyal to Baichuan, I would have wanted to pull you to work in Haitian. ”
