Lei Jin personally moved a chair, asked Fiona Young to take a seat, and then announced a piece of news that made everyone ecstatic: "Starting today, my old friend Fiona will be at R&R for a month. You will all become her students. If you have any questions, you can ask her for advice at any time. I once said that as long as you enter R&R, I will spare no effort to cultivate you. This will always be effective. I hope you will catch it. Live a chance."
There was thunderous applause in the conference room, and being able to study by Fiona Young's side, even for just one month, is enough to make these designers proud, and even better, they can also write about the communication and learning during this time. Enter your resume and become an important capital to be based in the fashion circle in the future. Sure enough, it was the right decision to come to R&R for a job. No matter how powerful one is, one needs to stand on a higher platform to make a leap.
Lin Dan also applauded, his eyes full of reverence for the old man. After coming to this world, she has had an in-depth understanding of every well-known fashion designer, and her favorite is Her Majesty the Queen, because her design style is very similar to hers.
Even Ding Ning, who likes to put on airs the most, didn't dare to neglect the distinguished guests at this moment, and went to the tea room to make two cups of coffee in person. In front of Fiona Young, he is nothing. Although he has won several international awards, he can only be described as "unknown" compared with Fiona's brilliant resume.
Lei Jin took the coffee but didn't drink it. Instead, he looked at Fiona and asked, "Dear, do you want to say something?"
"Ah, no, designers should use their works to speak. I can't wait to appreciate everyone's manuscripts." Fiona has always been a very straightforward person and doesn't like unnecessary greetings.
"That's good," Lei Jin said slowly, looking at everyone present, "Bring over all the manuscripts you've designed recently, whether they are selected or eliminated, let Fiona take a look at them, she can teach You have a lot of stuff." He was speaking in French, and some people could understand it, so he immediately went to get his manuscript, and some people didn't understand and sat in their seats dumbfounded.
Li Tiantian belonged to the group of people who didn't understand it, but Lin Dan could understand it completely, so he pulled her and whispered, "Go and bring over your latest manuscripts."
"Oh, alright." Li Tiantian immediately followed behind Sister Lin's butt, with mixed feelings in her heart. Being able to follow Fiona Young to learn from her is naturally very exciting, but at the same time very frightening, because she does not understand French, she will definitely suffer a lot in terms of communication. It is equivalent to wasting the company's cultivation.
"Sister Lin, I don't understand French, what should I do! Will the company provide us with an interpreter?" she asked in a low voice.
Ding Ning, who was walking in front of them, sneered, and a designer beside him sneered: "It seems that you are the only one who can't understand a word of French, do you think the company will pay you to hire a translator? Why is your face so big? I heard that you graduated from a domestic technical school, no wonder~”
The man sullenly lengthened the pronunciation of the last two words, causing everyone around him to snicker.
Li Tiantian was ashamed and annoyed, but did not dare to quarrel with them, for fear that Mr. Lei and Fiona in the conference room would hear.
Lin Dan rubbed her head and reassured: "Don't be afraid, I will be your exclusive translator, just follow me closely."
Li Tiantian suddenly felt confident. Yes, she has the omnipotent Sister Lin, who is she afraid of!
Ding Ning glanced back at Lin Dan with a gloomy expression. He seemed to be calm, but in fact his heart had already panicked, because he knew how good Lin Dan's manuscripts were, and as long as she was a designer of Aesthetic Online, she would definitely be able to see her talent. The reason why he was able to suppress her was because of qualifications, status, and power, and these foreign things were nothing in Fiona's eyes.
Lei Jin invited her to explore and cultivate talents for R&R, and she would naturally investigate the details of each person. Whoever has the real material, who is fishing in troubled waters, can't hide it from her eyes.
Does Lin Dan have any real materials? Ding Ning has to admit that she has, and her design level has surpassed himself, and even many internationally renowned designers, her talent cannot be concealed no matter what. That is to say, the tricks he played behind his back would soon be exposed under the eyes of Fiona and President Lei.
He panicked, and for a moment, he even had the idea of escaping, so he walked extremely slowly. But no matter how much delay, what should come will still come. When all the manuscripts were gathered in Fiona's hands, she made a surprised voice: "I want to ask, what is the matter with these crossed manuscripts? ?"
It was a coincidence that the so-called eliminated manuscripts that she singled out were all works by Lin Dan, while those that were selected, even those that were already in production, she just glanced and threw them aside. The expression of disgust should not be too obvious.
Ding Ning didn't dare to say a word, and his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. The rest of the people were silent and silent, but Lin Dan was attached to Li Tiantian's ear and translated for her word by word.
Lei Jin looked straight at Ding Ning and said coldly, "If I guessed correctly, do these manuscripts mean that they have been eliminated?"
"Knocked out?" Fiona roared in disbelief: "This is ridiculous! In my opinion, only these twenty-six works are the best, their brilliance can't be concealed, even if you put them Take them to Milan Fashion Week, they can also occupy the most important show! Look at these lines, how sharp and smooth! Look at these details, how ingenious! Look at these styles, how fashionable, how gorgeous, how delicate! Ray, again No one can make affordable fashion as high-definition as this designer! She has a pair of hands that have been kissed by God, you know! Why do you want to eliminate them, why?"
The more Fiona looked at these manuscripts, the more she liked them, because they were so similar to her design style that if she was asked to design, she could only do so much. She has already stood at the top of the fashion circle, she does not need to suppress others to establish her status, she is willing to explore more talented young people, and Lei Jin invited her to come out just because he liked her.
She was very excited, she quickly flipped through the manuscripts on the table while speaking, and then took out the five girly manuscripts separately, and said with admiration: "Oh, look what I found! This talented designer It's so cute to still be able to manage this style! To be able to switch between two completely different styles, but still maintain a considerable level, amazing, very amazing! So I ask again, why all this crap was selected , while the real treasure is thrown aside?"
Her sharp gaze swept across everyone's faces, except for Lin Dan and Li Tiantian, everyone bowed their heads in shame, and Ding Ning was so flustered that his fingertips trembled.
Lei Jin said slowly: "Director Ding, I entrusted the design and development work to you because I trust your ability enough. But what is the situation now? I hope you can give me an explanation."
Fiona immediately pinpointed Ding Ning's position and asked sharply, "Are you the design director? Is it you who eliminated these works and chose such things that are not good? God, is there something wrong with your aesthetics? I highly doubt your professionalism! What's your name?"
Ding Ning's lips trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to mention his name at all, because he knew that once the Queen's majesty knew his details, she would publicize what he did, and then laugh at his aesthetics. .
Yes, Fiona is such a domineering person. She is never stingy in promoting juniors, but she hates those low-level peers. If you make her fall in love, she can lift this person to the sky, if you make her hate it, she can step you into the mud. She once criticized him on the spot as an idiot with poor aesthetics after watching the show of a cutting-edge fashion designer, and every day she posted ins all-round mockery of his work, forcing people to retreat directly. Because in her opinion, a designer's lack of aesthetics is a heinous thing, and it is completely unforgivable.
But now, she has put the label of "heavily sinful" firmly on Ding Ning's head, and her already mean expression originally showed a bit of coldness.
Ding Ning's face was pale, and he could only be silent. He can neither admit in front of Fiona that he lacks aesthetics, nor can he admit in front of President Lei that he is suppressing Lin Dan. That is to say, no matter how he explains it now, he will step into the trap and fall hard. A fall.
Lei Jin didn't need his explanation at all, and said solemnly: "Director Ding, why I hired you with a high salary, I think you should be very clear. Now, instead of creating value for the company, you continue to obstruct others from creating value for the company. , I can no longer trust you, you are fired."
Ding Ning sat stiffly in his seat, as if he couldn't accept the bad news for a while, but the other designers all whispered, with unconcealed horror on their faces. They didn't expect the president to be so straightforward, dismissing him when he said he was dismissed, without showing any sympathy.
Lin Dan had stopped translating, and pressed Li Tiantian's knee with her hand, so that she could try her best to control her schadenfreude expression.
However, before the matter was over, Fiona said aggressively: "Why don't you speak? What's your reason for denying these manuscripts? Are you blind? Your name is Ding Ning? I remember, you won the American Designer Award last year, Omg, why did they give you this award? I have a hard time believing that you can design a good work based on your vision alone. Ray, which manuscripts are his, you help me pick out... oh, these, The level is okay, but it can't be compared with this LD at all. What does your company mean? Why let this level of people lead the design department? Don't you know that this is a disaster for other more talented designers He has no way of understanding the design concept of LD, he is too far from her! Ray, I am beginning to doubt your eyesight, only the most talented people are worthy of the position of design director, not only Based on the so-called qualifications and age! Ray, I have told you this sentence countless times, have you forgotten? In our circle, age and qualifications are nothing, only talent... "
She clapped the tabletop and emphasized again and again: "Only talent is the key to everything! Those who don't have talent immediately get out of my way! Such a good design has been ruined by you, it's shameless! Lei! , I'll tell you the truth, if you let him continue, your company will close down sooner or later!"
