When the news of Yun Jun's failed business reached Yao Rong's ears, she was on vacation on the island.

Lying on the beach chair and drinking chilled coconut, Yao Rong finished reading the news reported by the secretary, put down his mobile phone, picked up the blackout sunglasses on the side and hung them above the bridge of his nose again.

She did not propose to ban Yun Jun in the industry, but Yun Jun's entrepreneurship failed so quickly, and she couldn't do without her behind it.

From the shareholders' meeting to now, a full half a year has passed.

In the past six months, Yao Rong has been busy rectifying the Yao Group.

She didn't immediately move Yunjun's henchmen, but first stabilized the military morale of her employees.

After the initial panic, the employees of Yao's Group also gradually calmed down. Although the company has changed the chairman, it has not laid off employees, and has not paid them less wages and bonuses, as long as it does not damage their interests, in fact, it doesn't matter who is the chairman.

In the process, Yao's competitors smelled the wind and swarmed like sharks smelling blood, trying in vain to tear a large piece of profit from Yao's group.

Seeing that the share price of Yao's Group was torn down, at this time, Yao's Group threw out the concept of a new electric vehicle and declared that Yao's Group's "Fengchi" would lead a new era of electric vehicles.

The throwing of this concept successfully stabilized the confidence of shareholders in Yao's Group shares, and the stock price not only did not decline, but also rose slightly.

And the crisis of the Yao Group's change of chairman has passed so silently.

After doing these two things, Yao Rong began to carry out corporate reform and began to deal with the henchmen left behind by Yun Jun. All that can be used and that cannot be used will be dismissed in accordance with the contract.

After the complete adjustment of the enterprise structure, Yao's Group immediately began to mass-produce "Fengchi".

In the past six months, Yao Shiyun has not been idle.

She has been acting as Yao Rong's half secretary, in addition to being busy accumulating knowledge of clothing design, she is helping Yao Rong sort out and summarize official documents at other times.

At first, it was a little scrambling, but gradually, Yao Shiyun became more and more handy.

When the Yao Group is completely on the right track, Yao Rong and Yao Shiyun can finally be idle.

Yao Shiyun proposed to go to Lucheng in the south for a vacation.

It just so happened that Tao Zijin had recently been on leave, and after hearing about this incident, he wanted to bring Dr. Tao, who had left the city hospital, with him.

As soon as the four of them communicated like this, they simply flew together and flew to Lucheng.

"Mom, are you resting?"

Yao Shiyun's call came from the front, interrupting Yao Rong's contemplation.

Yao Rong followed the sound and saw that Yao Shiyun was wearing a set of floral long skirts, a woven sunhat on her head, and ice sleeves on her hands, and the whole person was covered tightly, on the other hand, Tao Zijin beside her was still dressed as an ordinary person, only wearing a hat on her head.

"I'm coming!"

In response, Yao Rong walked over with the finished coconut in his arms, saw a garbage can halfway, and threw the coconut into it.

Yao Shiyun said with great interest: "Mom, we want to pick coconuts, do you want to go together?" ”

Yao Rong: "Is Dr. Tao going?" ”

"Grandpa Tao is not going."

"Then I'm not going either, you guys have fun."

Waving goodbye to Yao Shiyun, Yao Rong turned around and walked to a nearby seaside villa and found Dr. Tao.

The two discussed it, but they didn't bother to go out, so they simply played chess in the courtyard with the sea breeze.

Dr. Tao is good at chess, and it can be said that he has not encountered an opponent in the elderly community for the time being, but he has been doubted by General Yao Rong Lianlian.

Seeing that he was about to collect the achievements of nine games and nine defeats, Dr. Tao swept his eyes and saw that Yao Shiyun and Tao Zijin were back, and hurriedly threw the chess in his hand: "They are back, let's pack up and go to dinner." ”

Yao Rong directly ate Dr. Tao's "general" with a "car", and then smiled: "Okay." ”

Dr. Tao: "......"

Yes, nine games and nine defeats can't escape.

Yao Shiyun put down the green coconut in his arms and walked across the steps in three or two steps: "Mom, Grandpa Tao, we're back." ”

Tao Zijin, who was two steps behind, untied his back basket.

There were three green coconuts in the back basket.

Yao Rong took off Yao Shiyun's sunhat.

Under the hat, all the broken hair on Yao Shiyun's forehead was soaked with sweat.

"Let's go take a shower first."

"Okay."

"Then Aunt Yao, grandpa, I'll also go change my clothes." Tao Zijin said hello.

The dinner for four people is a local specialty hot pot - dregs vinegar hot pot.

After eating the hot pot, the four of them also went to a nearby observatory to see the stars.

The night sky of Lucheng is clear and clear, and even the stars are particularly dazzling.

Yao Shiyun leaned beside Yao Rong, looked up at the starry sky, and didn't speak for a long time.

"What are you thinking?" Tao Zijin snapped his fingers in front of her eyes.

"I'm thinking—"

Xu didn't want Yao Rong to hear her idea, Yao Shiyun took two steps in the direction of Tao Zijin, stood on tiptoe slightly, and whispered in his ear.

"Can I design a skirt so that the sky is full of stars and falls on the hem of the skirt."

At this moment, the stars did not fall on the hem of her skirt, but fell into her bright eyes.

So her whole person was as dazzling as the stars in the sky, so dazzling that Tao Zijin's heartbeat suddenly missed a few beats.

On the first day, the four of them went home.

Sitting on the plane, Yao Shiyun took out the drawing book and began to record his design ideas little by little, and systematically sorted out the inspiration of his fragments.

In the following days, Yao Shiyun was completely immersed in the design of this skirt.

Until the morning of this day, Yao Shiyun was looking through books in the library when she suddenly received a message from the counselor, saying that she was asked to come to the department office at eleven o'clock and find her for something important.

Yao Shiyun was a little puzzled, but still obediently replied "Okay".

After reading the last few pages of the book, Yao Shiyun raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and saw that it was half past ten, so he put the borrowed books back on the bookshelf, and put his drawing book and pen into his bag one by one.

Yao Shiyun's counselor was already waiting inside.

Without waiting for her to ask, the counselor smiled and said, "Yao Shiyun, you are here, sit down." ”

"Teacher, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Don't worry, it's a good thing." The counselor pulled out a thick bag of papers from the bookshelf, "Do you know about the National Fashion Design Competition?" ”

"Of course I do."

The counselor pushed his glasses and said softly, "That's the case, our academy has decided to send you to represent the academy in the competition this year. ”

It stands to reason that the National Fashion Design Competition is for fashion designers under the age of 30 across the country, and anyone who meets the age can sign up by themselves.

However, there is definitely no difference between signing up on your own and signing up in the name of the college.

If you sign up in the name of the college, the player represents the college, and once the player gets a good ranking, not only the player can benefit, but the college can also benefit.

In order to allow its students to get a good ranking, the college will definitely tilt the resources of students. If students can get credit for the college, it will be much easier to choose a position or want to stay on to teach.

Yao Shiyun was very pleasantly surprised: "That's great, thank you, teacher." ”

"It's all up to you." The counselor didn't take credit.

He was not exaggerating at all.

Yao Shiyun's quota for the competition was jointly recommended by the vice president and the dean.

After hearing about it, the teachers of other departments also affirmed Yao Shiyun's candidate.

You know,

In the past, there would be a big difference of opinion when selecting the quota for the competition every year, but this year, the opinions of the teachers are very unanimous - it is Yao Shiyun, and there is no more suitable candidate than her among the students in this year.

"By the way, the submission date for the preliminary round is January 6th, and you still have two months to prepare, so you can find inspiration during this time." The counselor patiently advises on the precautions.

Yao Shiyun nodded seriously, indicating that she had listened: "Okay." I already have an idea for the design of the preliminary round. ”

The counselor was surprised, so fast?

Yao Shiyun saw what he was thinking and explained: "It happened that inspiration came when I was traveling a few days ago. ”

"Okay, then you go back and prepare well, and try to get a good ranking. Our college hasn't won the top three in several years. The counselor laughed.

To be honest, their school has won first and third places a few times, but they have never won the first place.

After all, this competition allows fashion designers under the age of 30 to participate, and many contestants have already graduated from school and have worked in their own studios or clothing brand companies for many years, accumulating a lot of experience.

Although the students selected by the school are excellent, compared with these contestants, the difference is not talent, but the accumulation of experience.

As a result, the fashion design department of University A sends students to participate in competitions every year, and they can enter the top 10 every year, but rarely get a higher ranking.

When Lu Xinghua participated in the competition before, he finally had a chance to win the third place, but who knew that he was exposed to plagiarism at the moment of the awards.

The National Fashion Design Competition is very strict about plagiarism, and after learning that Lu Xinghua was suspected of plagiarism, he immediately canceled Lu Xinghua's qualification. Even last year, when the fashion design department of University A sent someone to participate in the competition, the student's design draft was repeatedly reviewed several times.

This is the reputation of the whole school if a student has bad deeds.

Yao Shiyun left the hospital office with the reference materials given by the counselor.

Back in the library, Yao Shiyun took out the reference materials from the file bag.

These reference materials are the design drafts and design concepts of the top 10 preliminary and semi-finals of the competition over the years.

I have to say that this information is very helpful to Yao Shiyun.

As soon as she got the information, she was hungry and eager to read it, and she didn't even want to let go when she returned home for dinner.

"It's never too late to watch after eating." Yao Rong knocked on the edge of the table and spoke.

Yao Shiyun was reluctant to put it down, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat.

Yao Rong sandwiched a piece of braised fish for her, and asked casually: "Haven't you been designing skirts before, why did you suddenly start looking at the information?" ”

Yao Shiyun told Yao Rong about the competition: "My recent design has been stuck in a bottleneck, and I just look at these materials, maybe I can be inspired by them." ”

For fashion designers, it is not advisable to do things behind closed doors.

A good fashion designer must always understand fashion and follow trends.

Of course, the truly top fashion designers are always leading the way.

Yao Shiyun can't lead the trend now, she can only learn more and broaden her horizons first.

After watching it for several days, Yao Shiyun finished reading all the information.

It took another week to digest what she had learned, and then Yao Shiyun returned to the design draft.

There is a half-finished product she designed before in the drawing book, which is her work for a week, but after carefully examining this design draft for a long time, Yao Shiyun tore it off the book without feeling distressed at all.

"How did you tear it off?" Zhou Miaomiao said blankly.

She doesn't think there's anything wrong with this design.

Not only is there no problem, but it is also very unique and beautiful, which fully deserves its name - "Stars".

Yao Shiyun turned the pen in his hand: "I have a better design idea." ”

Her original idea was to build the skirt with several layers of golden muslin supplemented by gold gradient beads, and when the model walked, the skirt

The pendulum will flow out of shadowy light and shadow as the model moves.

But looking at it now, Yao Shiyun feels that her previous design was too exposed.

The stars shouldn't be so exposed.

More often than not, the stars are deep and boundless, mysterious yet fascinating.

The background color of the starry sky is a deep blue, and it is an endless black.

Finalizing the idea, Yao Shiyun lowered her eyes and used a pen to sketch lines on the white paper.

Zhou Miaomiao held her cheeks and looked at her.

In their freshman year, the relationship between Zhou Miaomiao and Yao Shiyun was actually very ordinary.

But one is a classmate, and the other is a dormitory, the two are in a dormitory, looking up and not looking down, Zhou Miaomiao can see what kind of character Yao Shiyun is-

It's nice to say, it's called approachable.

To put it mildly, it is called cowardice, inferiority, sensitivity, and lack of self-confidence.

In fact, Zhou Miaomiao also felt strange at that time.

Yao Shiyun is good-looking, has good grades, and has a mine at home, so there is no need to feel inferior.

If she was Yao Shiyun, she would definitely be particularly arrogant.

Later, by chance, she learned about Yao Shiyun's family situation, and Zhou Miaomiao understood why Yao Shiyun developed such a character.

But all this has changed since the second semester of freshman year, after Yao Shiyun and Lu Xinghua broke up.

This dusty pearl seems to have been wiped clean little by little in a short period of time.

And so the pearl began to radiate her true light.

She is the one who is shone and attracted by this light.

"Xiaoyun, there have been so many people chasing you in the past two years, don't you have a heartbeat?" Taking advantage of Yao Shiyun's drinking water, Zhou Miaomiao asked softly.

"Nope." Yao Shiyun swallowed the water in her mouth, "I'm too busy." ”

She was so busy that she didn't have the heart to think about emotional matters.

And......

The relationship did cause her a certain psychological shadow.

Although she will not deny everyone because of Lu Xinghua alone, she will be more cautious about her feelings.

"And what type of people do you like?"

Yao Shiyun pursed her lips and pondered for a moment: "I don't know either." Rather than love at first sight, I believe in love over time. ”

"Oh." Zhou Miaomiao nodded.

Yao Shiyun put down the water bottle and said to Zhou Miaomiao: "Miao Miao, I won't eat with you at noon, Brother Zijin happened to pass by near my school and said to invite me to lunch." ”

Zhou Miaomiao touched her chin.

She didn't notice any signs before, but didn't she just finish talking about relationship issues just now, how did she feel that this Tao Zijin passed by a large number of times, too often?

Tsk, nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

As soon as Yao Shiyun left the school gate, he saw Tao Zijin's car.

"Brother Zijin." Yao Shiyun greeted the half-open window.

Tao Zijin unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and helped her open the co-pilot's door: "Get in the car." ”

A new Cantonese restaurant opened in a nearby shopping mall, and Yao Shiyun and Tao Zijin agreed and went straight to the Cantonese restaurant.

After eating, Tao Zijin asked Yao Shiyun if he had classes in the afternoon.

"No class."

Tao Zijin asked: "Then do you want to walk around the mall, just eat it." I'll send you home after a walk. ”

"Okay." Yao Shiyun deserves it simply.

Even if I go home now, I will go back to drawing the design draft.

But two months is still plenty of time, and no matter how urgent it is, there is no hurry to rush this time.

The two walked around the mall and picked up the doll, but unfortunately whether it was Yao Shiyun or Tao Zijin, the doll clamping skills were very poor, and the last doll that cost dozens of coins was not clipped.

"Damn, wait until I go back and practice my skills

Shame on coming back! Yao Shiyun spoke cruelly to the crane machine in front of him.

Tao Zijin laughed sullenly: "Then count me in." ”

"Let's go, let's go, we've had enough."

"Okay, are you thirsty?" Tao Zijin asked, "Let's buy a cup of milk tea and go back." ”

After buying milk tea, Tao Zijin drove Yao Shiyun home.

When he arrived at the door of the villa, Yao Shiyun unbuckled his seat belt and asked, "Brother Zijin, do you want to go to my house to sit?" ”

Tao Zijin raised his hand and rubbed the tip of his nose: "No, I didn't bring any gifts to the door, I'll come back next time." ”

"You're too polite, what kind of gifts do you bring with you to my house?"

However, Tao Zijin didn't plan to go, and Yao Shiyun didn't force it.

She got out of the car with her schoolbag on her back and entered the villa.

"Coming back?"

Yao Rongzheng sprays the kapok tree with a watering can. As early as when Tao Zijin's car was parked at the door of the villa, she had already heard the movement.

"Mom." Yao Shiyun walked over, "What are you doing?" ”

"I noticed that a few of the leaves had become twisted leaves, which could cause them to fall off on a large scale, so I prepared some potions to prevent insect infestations."

"Your own potion?"

Yao Rong: "I checked the information on the Internet. ”

The other flowers and trees in the garden are served by specially hired gardeners.

Even if it was the pot of orchids worth millions in the living room, Yao Rong had never tended to it with his own hands.

But the kapok tree in front of him, except for Yao Shiyun, who occasionally helps with the handle, Yao Rong has never faked his hands to others at other times.

Yao Shiyun looked up at the kapok tree.

The tree was growing very fast, and was much taller than she was now.

Even in late autumn, the leaves on the trees are still as green as summer.

"It's been a year and a half since this tree was planted, how long will it take for it to bloom?"

"If it's fast, it will open next spring."

"Next year, I'm just going to graduate next year."

Yao Rong smiled and quickened the movement in his hand.

Yao Shiyun stood beside her and was busy with her.

After Yao Rong finished spraying the potion, Yao Shiyun went up to the first floor of the villa and returned to his room.

She sat in front of the window and continued her unfinished design.

The autumn wind outside the house poured in, blowing Yao Shiyun's hair, and as long as she raised her head slightly, she could see the kapok tree standing unyieldingly in the autumn wind, as if it was proud.

Immersed in painting, time came from late autumn to Layue little by little.

Before the deadline for the first draft, Yao Shiyun sent the designed manuscript to the email address designated by the organizer and waited patiently for the results of the preliminary competition. ：，，
