God's New Clothes

On this day, Xu Shi'an was busy processing documents in the office. Marketing Director Zhou Hui rushed into his office and said excitedly, "Alex, good news! Good news!"

Xu Shi'an was annoyed by the contract, and raised his head from the pile of documents and asked, "Oh, what's the good news?" Telling it just relieved him.

Zhou Hui clenched his fist in one hand, held the printed email in the other, waved it in front of him together and said, "New York Fashion Week invited us to participate in the autumn and winter show next year, and I printed out the email for you!"

There was no surprise on Xu Shi'an's deep and used face, but a trace of doubt: "The schedule of New York Fashion Week is set one year in advance. When is this, why invite us?"

Zhou Hui's face froze slightly, and he explained in a low voice: "It's not the official schedule, but the e-commerce platform where our online flagship store is located held a Chinese brand day. It's a bit rushed, but it's a good opportunity anyway."

Xu Shi'an took the email and read it carefully, and finally confirmed this fact.

New York Fashion Week, seemingly avant-garde, is actually very conservative.If foreign brands have not landed in the United States and have not brought jobs to Americans, they will not invite them into the official schedule, and they don't know what sweetness the e-commerce platform has given the organizers. It is probably cross-border trade.

But having said that, professionals will consider whether it is an official schedule, and consumers don't care so much, just watch the excitement.Now that someone has set up the stage, Xu Shi'an, as a businessman, is nothing more than thinking about how to sing better.All in all, it's a good thing.

Xu Shi'an didn't think too long, and directly asked Zhou Hui to agree to participate.He stood up from his chair, strode towards the door, and said to Zhou Hui, "Lend me the mail first."

When passing by Tina's desk, Xu Shi'an knocked on her desk, so frightened that Tina, who was touching up her makeup, directly painted lipstick into blush.Xu Shi'an picked up a little bit of fun, and said with a chuckle: "At noon, I will order a takeaway of Japanese food for everyone in the company, and I will treat you."

Holding the lipstick in one hand and the princess mirror in the other, Tina froze on the spot—did they borrow something from the designer again?

Xu Shi'an pushed open the door of the designer's studio with brisk steps, only Tong Yan was there.Seeing him coming, Tong Yan stopped what he was doing, raised his head and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

Xu Shi'an lifted the hem of his suit, sat on the workbench and asked, "Well, what are you busy with?"

"Draw a picture."

"Is it spring and summer?"

"Yes, some concept drawings have been released, and I want to put some concepts of flowers and plants in it, and they are still being perfected."

Xu Shi'an picked up a few manuscripts, looked at them, put them down and said, "Okay, I'll leave the rest to other designers. A designer who is going to participate in New York Fashion Week doesn't have so much time to draw by himself."

Tong Yan was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you kidding me!"

"No kidding," Xu Shi'an shook the mail in front of Tong Yan, "This is an invitation letter."

Tong Yan took it suspiciously, and looked up and down for a long time before he figured out what was going on.

"Is it...really? Are we going to New York? I'm not dreaming, you pinch me!" Tong Yan's eyes were shining brightly, with unconcealable joy flashing inside, Xu Shi'an couldn't bear it, and said: " What are you pinching, I'm afraid you won't want to go, after all, it's not the official schedule."

"I don't want to? I am [-]% willing! This is New York Fashion Week, how can I be disgusted if I am too happy!"

Xu Shi'an was really happy to see Tong Yan, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and said, "I will invite everyone to eat Japanese food at noon to celebrate."

Tong Yan didn't care what to eat, he stood up and walked to the door: "I'm going to tell Zhou Mo!"

Xu Shi'an watched Tong Yan stepping out the door three times, and felt extremely satisfied. It felt a bit like a parent seeing his son receive a college admission letter, feeling very relieved.

Oh... It seems a bit wrong to describe it that way.

He lowered his head and flipped through the manuscripts on the table unconsciously. These were Tong Yan's painstaking efforts. Xu Shi'an thought, this time he went to New York, no matter what, the leak like the last time could not happen again.He calculated in his mind that some things had been dragged on for too long, and it was time to finish them.

After enjoying the free lunch provided by the boss at noon, Zhou Hui was called to Xu Shi'an's office again and asked him to come up with a budget for New York Fashion Week.Including the travel expenses of the company team, venue rental and construction fees, hiring models, stylists, media public relations expenses, etc.

Zhou Hui was in a bit of a dilemma. No one in the company had any experience in participating in foreign fashion weeks, and the foreign budget was not easy to report.

Xu Shi'an didn't care about this, he had to make a quotation within a week.He's such a flamboyant president who even sold his concubine, he has to calculate the money before doing anything.

After sending Zhou Hui away, senior designer Chen Lei was also called to the president's office.

Xu Shi'an asked him to sit across from the desk, and said to him politely: "Old Chen, how are you doing? Are you busy?"

Chen Lei seemed a little cramped, his eyes flickered here and there: "It's okay, just like everyone else."

"Well, it's okay, let's chat casually." Xu Shi'an said, "You collected a lot of materials and produced a lot of pictures in the previous series. It was very hard work, I know that."

Chen Lei squeezed out a smile: "It's not hard for us to work together, as long as the customers approve."

"Is it enough as long as the customer approves, but I don't agree?" Xu Shi'an asked very strangely.

Chen Lei couldn't figure out which song he was singing, and hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant..."

Xu Shi'an didn't let Chen Lei continue, and asked another question: "As a fashion designer with many years of experience, to be honest, what do you think of Tong Yan's designs?"

Chen Lei glanced at Xu Shi'an, but couldn't see any expression on his face. He didn't know what he meant by asking this suddenly, so he could only answer vaguely: "His design...has a strong personal style, it should be more It is in line with the aesthetics of young people today."

"But it doesn't fit your aesthetics!"

Chen Lei was taken aback by Xu Shi'an's suddenly raised voice, and said in a panic: "You can't say that, after all, aesthetics is a very personal matter."

Xu Shi'an crossed his hands, looked at Chen Lei coldly and said, "Let me tell you what you really think. Ever since the position of chief designer was vacated, you felt that this position belonged to you, but you never expected that you would suddenly A Tong Yan appeared, and from the first day he came, you disliked him in various ways, right? You never thought about why I used Tong Yan instead of you, and never looked for reasons in yourself, so naturally you never You have never been convinced by him. You feel that Tong Yan is leading the design ideas, and you are just helping others make wedding dresses. You are not convinced and have always held a grudge against it. When Xu Shian said this, he suddenly stood up and approached Chen Lei, "It was you who leaked the design draft of our fashion show to Xiao Yi, right?"

Following Xu Shi'an's long words, Chen Lei's forehead was already in a cold sweat.He didn't know how Xu Shi'an knew this, and he was very flustered, but he still pretended to be stupid: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Xu Shi'an sat back in the chair again, stared at Chen Lei, took out a stack of documents from the drawer and threw them on the table: "Don't pretend to be confused, this is the resume of you and Xiao Yi, you are classmates in high school, you don't remember any of this Yet?"

Chen Lei glanced at the documents on the table, one was his and the other was Xiao Yi's, he calmed down a bit and said, "Just because we know each other and are classmates in high school, you think it's my leaked design draft? Isn't this too far-fetched? Besides, what good will it do me?"

"Indeed, so how about adding this?" Xu Shi'an turned his monitor over and showed Chen Lei the video above: "Every office in our company has surveillance cameras, high-definition ones, and there is one right behind your desk. You know? This is a video of you copying the design files. These files were copied after the press conference. Excuse me, what did you copy them for?"

Chen Lei watched his back appear in the screen, clicked on the folder, copied and pasted... He panicked in his heart, but he still refused to admit it: "That doesn't mean I gave these design drafts to others!"

Xu Shi'an sneered: "You really don't give up when you don't see the Yellow River!" He took out a stack of photos from the drawer again, Chen Lei was terrified of his action, and didn't know what terrible things would come out of that drawer, Xu Shi'an Squeezing the photo, looking at one, he threw one in front of Chen Lei, "This is a photo of you meeting Xiao Yi. You guys have met very frequently recently? What did he promise you? I guess, it must be included in his company. Are you a design director?"

Chen Lei was furious: "You actually followed me!"

"More than that, people like us can do any despicable and nasty things to achieve our goals." Xu Shi'an finally showed a contemptuous and cynical smile on his face, and casually fiddled with a recording pen in his hand, "Here, I accidentally recorded your conversation. After you gave the design materials to Xiao Yi, you were eager to leave my company, but Xiao Yi asked you to wait, he hoped to get more information about ANNA-X from you You guys had a disagreement over the information, and you had a big fight over it.” Xu Shi’an smiled and said, “Next time we talk about such shady things, remember to change to a more private place. The coffee shop is for dating, not for I’m here to negotiate. Do you want me to play it for you? The environment is a bit noisy, but I’ve already done noise reduction.”

Chen Lei's face turned from red to black and then from black to white when Xu Shi'an said these words, just like a chameleon.Under Xu Shi'an's continuous questioning, his nerves were stretched so thin that they were about to break, and he completely lost his senses.Chen Lei suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Xu Shi'an, don't push people too much!"

"I have sold your life for so many years, what have I got? Why did he become the chief designer as soon as he came? What's so good about his design? You didn't find the media to brag about it!"

The design of Tong Yan's first season was not blown out by the media, it was actually sold, and then the media noticed one after another.With his stingy Xu Shi'an, how could he be willing to spend money on the media as soon as he came up?

Xu Shi'an said: "I am a businessman. In my eyes, what can make money is good. In the eyes of customers, what is beautiful is good. If the brand strength can be blown out by the media, then all companies will embrace the media. Your thigh is fine, why do you need a design team? Why do you need originality? Why are you so confused, Old Chen?"

Hearing Xu Shi'an defending Tong Yan in front of him, Chen Lei's emotions became more and more out of control: "The whole company knows what's wrong with you two! What right do you have to blame me? You were born with a golden key in your mouth, you can play as you want, If you want to start a company, start a company. You have no idea how difficult it is for an ordinary person to succeed and how much hardship you have to pay! When I first graduated, I lived in the basement, ate instant noodles, and my daily living expenses were only a few dollars. Drawings, I don’t know how many drafts I have drawn for my supervisor, but he is lucky, he can take them and add a few strokes to become his own design, why not! "

When Xu Shi'an heard Chen Lei hinting at his relationship with Tong Yan, he almost couldn't hold back his violent temper, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart: "Old Chen, why do you always say that you think your efforts are not rewarded, so why not?" Have you ever found the reason from yourself?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm not wrong, it's all your fault! Tong Yan took away what should belong to me, and the opportunity I've waited for for more than ten years is gone. None of you have considered my feelings !"

Xu Shi'an said quickly: "So you stole his design and gave it to Xiao Yi as a certificate?"

"I didn't steal it, I just copied a company document, what he did with it has nothing to do with me!"

Xu Shi'an pressed the play button of the recording pen, and Lao Chen's voice came out again: "I didn't steal it, I just copied a copy of the company's documents, and what he did with it has nothing to do with me!"

Xu Shi'an flicked his hair, and said with a relaxed expression: "Based on the recording just now, I can already sue you, but because of our old relationship, as long as you resign voluntarily, I will not trouble you again. "

Hearing the recording, Chen Lei, who was blowing his beard and staring just now, slumped onto the chair like a puddle of mud. He said bitterly, "Xu Shi'an, you're kidding me!" Awake.

"A shopping mall is like a battlefield. I didn't expect to kill my own people first. I can bear that you go to work and don't work hard, but I can't stand being stabbed in the back by others. I didn't do anything. The backyard caught fire first, and I can't stand it." Is it suitable?" Xu Shi'an didn't intend to entangle him any longer, he had already got what he wanted, so he pressed the call button on the landline, "Tina, come in and take Lao Chen to go through the resignation procedures."

Chen Lei slumped on the chair blankly. The reason why he dared to give the design documents to Xiao Yi was because he was bewitched by Xiao Yi because he was holding his breath all the time; The second generation, the mind is not in the company at all, so of course they have nothing to fear.Now that the Dong Chuang incident has happened, what Chen Lei still thinks in his heart is that all the people in the world are against me, and it is definitely not that I am against the people in the world.

Tina opened the door and came in: "Brother Chen, please come with me."

It took Chen Lei a lot of effort to stand up from the chair, it's over, everything is over.

Xu Shi'an left the recording pen on the table and let out a long sigh.

Ever since he found out that Chen Lei and Xiao Yi had an affair, Xu Shi'an has been sending people to investigate Chen Lei secretly, and it is true that they met, and it is pure nonsense for him to have the recording of their conversation.He just listened to a few eavesdropped words from the follower, and made up a dialogue, but he didn't expect to cheat Chen Lei's words.

The preparations for New York Fashion Week are about to start, and the family affairs must be cleaned up so that Tong Yan will not be restrained.At the same time, Xu Shi'an was also thinking, since the layout of the show is so easy to copy, how can this situation be avoided?

Xu Shi'an feels that he has been too motivated recently, but unfortunately, there is no one to ask for credit for such hard work.He gave a wry smile, turned back to the monitor, and silently called up the monitor of Tong Yan's studio.
