Chapter 465 Wenruan and Liu Qingning
Chapter 465 Wenruan and Liu Qingning
3: p.m.
Yunxi Building, Songmei Clothing.
"Let's go, Qiuqiu, to the meeting."
Cheng Qiuqiu saved the file, picked up his laptop, stood up and followed his colleagues to the meeting room.
My fingers unconsciously stroked the edge of the notebook, feeling a little uneasy.
Today, the art director hired by the company from 4A company (Nebula International) officially arrived.
The participants were mainly several colleagues from the brand design team and the live broadcast visual team.
This meeting will determine the final direction of the brand's visual system and whether her design can be retained.
In other words, she is the protagonist today.
Open the door to the conference room.
Zhao Mingwei, a colleague from the strategy team, was already waiting there. He smiled and pointed to the front: "The video conference has been connected. This is Lin Zishan, a senior designer of Xingyun International Group. Coach Lin."
Cheng Qiuqiu's eyes fell on the large LED screen.
The picture shows a woman in her thirties, wearing a neatly tailored women's casual suit, her hair neatly tied behind her head, and her eyes confident and calm.
Behind her is a bookshelf with some design trophies and art books.
Appear professional and authoritative.
"Good afternoon, everyone at Songmei." Lin Zishan's voice came through the loudspeaker.
"Coach Lin, good afternoon." "Good afternoon."
After simple greetings.
Everyone sat down in their seats and introduced themselves one by one.
After chatting with each other for more than ten minutes.
Lin Zishan's eyes swept across the screen, her tone gentle but unquestionable: "Qiuqiu, I have seen your design draft. I think the process of the ribbon deformation is too complicated and not direct enough. Consumers don't have time to interpret these details. We need a simpler and more impactful visual symbol."
Hearing this, Cheng Qiuqiu was stunned and explained: "My original intention was to convey the elegance and fluidity of the brand through the details of the ribbon, which is also the soul of our brand clothing."
Then she talked about her design concept.
“You were doing graphic design before, right? UI and UX?”
Listening to Lin Zishan's condescending words, Cheng Qiuqiu pursed her lips and said, "Well, yes."
As a flight consultant, the other party must have read the resumes of these designers.
"Brand visual design must take actual effects into consideration, which is very different from your previous work." Lin Zishan's tone became serious. "Your overly artistic expression, although beautiful, is difficult to resonate with the market. What we need are symbols that can quickly catch the consumer's attention, not works of art that need to be interpreted."
"So what do you mean?" Cheng Qiuqiu's voice was a little low.
Lin Zishan's tone was very firm, "It can be made more concrete! You can even directly use a piece of cloth to fold into the shape of letters, which is close to the attributes of the industry and easy to remember..."
Lin Zishan continued speaking.
Cheng Qiuqiu lowered her head and pursed her lips.
This was the finished product that she had worked hard on for a long time and stayed up late to make. She was originally very confident and felt that she had done an excellent job. She even showed it to Tang Song during the semi-finished stage.
But now it is being criticized by professionals and may even slow down the company's branding progress.
She has indeed never worked on visual system design for a commercial brand. She relied on her past experience to create the logo and color scheme. Even if she wanted to refute it, she didn't know where to start.
I was a little flustered for a moment.
Although she had undergone many changes in her heart, her colleagues outside seemed to be particularly cold and distant at this moment.
Lin Zishan was obviously irritated by her attitude and frowned, "Qiuqiu, I'm here to provide professional advice, not to compete with you. If you have any opinions, you can raise them now."
"I..." Cheng Qiuqiu raised her head and said with a tense expression, "I will redesign it."
She knows her shortcomings, is not good at communicating with others, and does not know how to tactfully make others accept her ideas.
Lin Zishan shook her head. "I feel like you don't understand what I mean. I hope you abandon your previous design habits and seriously consider commercial feasibility..."
At this moment, the door of the conference room was gently pushed open.
"Mr. Tang!" "Mr. Tang!"
The employees stood up immediately.
Lin Zishan in the video conference also greeted him.
Cheng Qiuqiu still sat there, looking at Tang Song who appeared at the door.
Today, he was wearing a casual light blue shirt, looking very clean and refreshed.
Between the slender white fingers, a signing pen was casually turned, flexibly and smoothly.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Tang Song smiled and nodded, "How was the chat? I feel Qiuqiu's design is very good. Is there anything that can be improved?"
Hearing his words, Cheng Qiuqiu stammered, lowered her head, and did not dare to look into his eyes.
The senior student recruited her and gave her such a high salary and benefits, and Tang Song trusted her so much.
But what she made did not meet the requirements.
If Tang Song knew about this, how would he view her?
Do you think she is not suitable for this job? Do you want to replace her? Or outsource the production to a professional design company, then what is the use of her in the company?
For a time, all kinds of negative emotions came one after another.
Self-doubt, depression, shame, inferiority...
I even had the thought of resigning immediately and escaping from Yancheng.
Lin Zishan's tone became gentle again: "Boss Tang, I feel that the design is not commercial enough and does not take into account the market demand well, so I made some suggestions. Everything is for work, I hope your colleagues can understand."
Tang Song was about to speak when a crisp system prompt sound suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ding! It is detected that the player has encountered a matching scene and object. The special item [Dream Flower Seed] has been triggered, and the grower [Cheng Qiuqiu] has been locked."
Then, in Tang Song's sight, a golden seed floated up from his body and slowly fell on Cheng Qiuqiu's forehead.
At the same time, a progress bar appeared above her head.
【Cultivation and breeding... 1%...】
Tang Song raised his eyebrows, looked at Cheng Qiuqiu in surprise, and said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work, Coach Lin. Your achievements and experience are what our design team lacks. Qiuqiu is a relatively introverted person and not very good at communicating with others, but she is a very outstanding person and her designs are very inspired."
As he spoke, he gently patted Cheng Qiuqiu's shoulder, his voice gentle but firm: "Qiuqiu, if you have any questions, you can talk to me at any time."
Cheng Qiuqiu's body trembled slightly and she bit her lips lightly.
"Okay, Mr. Tang, I understand." Lin Zishan showed a bright smile on her face, "I'm sorry, Qiuqiu, my attitude just now may not be very good."
As a well-known designer and a core employee of Nebula International Group, he was assigned to guide this newly graduated college student. He wanted to demonstrate his authority and facilitate his future work.
However, she had also been warned by her leader that Mr. Tang was the boyfriend of the company's director Wen Ruan and must not be offended.
Now that the other party is present in person, she must restrain her little thoughts.
"Okay, let's continue the meeting. I'll discuss it with you." Tang Song sat down directly next to Cheng Qiuqiu.
Soon, the meeting resumed.
Cheng Qiuqiu's eyes fell on the screen, and she felt an inexplicable sense of peace in her heart.
She secretly glanced at Tang Song beside her and found that his eyes were looking at her, as if hiding some emotions that she could not understand.
Cheng Qiuqiu's heart skipped a beat and she quickly sat up straight.
Tang Song's eyes flickered slightly, and his slender fingers were still casually turning the pen.
According to the introduction of [Dream Flower Seeds], this seed is to absorb the darkness and negative energy in the heart of the "planter".
He never imagined that Qiu Qiu, who appeared to be cold and calm on the surface, actually had an unknown side in his heart.
It seems that her indifference is not just due to her personality.
This sense of the unknown gave him a strong desire to explore, as if he could discover a whole new world by lifting a mysterious veil.
However, the seed has just been planted and it will take some time for it to sprout. After it sprouts, I will have a wonderful connection with her.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his eyes fell on Cheng Qiuqiu again, with a hint of imperceptible expectation.
After a while.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" Tang Song's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
【Wenruan: "I'm in Shencheng now. I'll see your white moonlight tonight."】
[Wenruan: "Humph, if she dares to bully me, I will let her feel the value of 130 kilograms of weight!"]
Tang Song's eyes twitched, and his thoughts instantly drifted to Shenzhen, more than 2000 kilometers away.
……
Shenzhen Baoan International Airport.
The lights were bright and the terminal was bustling with people.
The flight slowly landed, the cabin door opened, and the indicator light of the exclusive channel lit up first, spreading soft light on the floor of the channel.
Wen Ruan stood up and walked out of the VIP channel with her assistant Wang Dandan.
Sexy and hot body, exquisite outfit.
Attracting a lot of attention along the way.
The airport receptionist who had been waiting for a long time came up to him immediately and bowed slightly: "Director Wen, the car is ready. Since it is the evening rush hour, it will take about 50 minutes from Bao'an International Airport to Pengrui Raffles Hotel."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Wenruan nodded slightly, her eyes sweeping across the busy traffic outside the airport.
As a person who loves traveling, she once worked part-time as a travel writer on a public account, so naturally she had been to Shenzhen.
There are some old friends here too.
However, this time, my state of mind and feelings were completely different.
The staff of Juqing Huijin directly helped her arrange a private jet, luxury car pick-up and drop-off, customized itinerary and security.
It also made her realize for the first time the change in her own identity.
They walked in silence all the way to the parking lot. The waiting security driver took the luggage from Wang Dandan and put it in the trunk, then respectfully opened the door of the Maybach for Wen Ruan.
The car is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, and the seats are soft and comfortable, isolating the noise from the outside world.
After the car started, Wenruan leaned back in the seat with her eyes closed, tapping her knees lightly with her slender fingers.
Wang Dandan looked through the information on her phone and began to report the upcoming schedule to her: "Tonight's reception dinner is scheduled for 9:, and the venue is the hotel's multi-functional banquet hall. The organizer specifically emphasized that this dinner has invited many important customers and partners, and hopes that Mr. Wen can attend. Tomorrow morning at o'clock..."
The assistant's voice was still steady and clear, but her warm heart began to become confused.
Liu Qingning, the childhood sweetheart and white moonlight of Tang and Song.
For her, Tang Song stayed in the imperial capital for three years and lived with Liu Qingning as an ordinary person.
Later, it was because of Liu Qingning that he returned to Yancheng and had the experience of "blind date" with her.
Her importance to the Tang and Song dynasties is unquestionable.
And now, she had to take the blame for this bastard, endure Liu Qingning's "oppression" alone, and compete with her head-on.
If Su Yu knew about this, he would have to kowtow to her!
Six o'clock in the evening.
The group arrived at the Raffles Hotel.
The marble floor reflects a soft light, and a faint floral scent floats in the air.
The check-in process was simple and efficient, the staff were clearly well prepared and were welcoming and professional.
After getting the room card, Wen Ruan took the elevator to the executive suite on the upper floor.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the afterglow of the setting sun fills the entire space, dyeing the sea surface golden, which is refreshing.
Wenruan stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, with a hint of thought in her expression.
Wang Dandan whispered, "Boss Wen, do you need to take a break?"
"No need, time is tight." Wen Ruan responded casually, took off her suit jacket and handed it to Wang Dandan, turned into the bathroom, and began to put on her makeup.
When she came out, Wang Dandan had already hung her clothes neatly in the cloakroom.
Wenruan changed into a dress, matching earrings and high heels.
After carefully grooming herself in front of the mirror, Wenruan gently touched the [Pledge Necklace] on her neck, with a bright smile on her face.
This necklace is a token of love between her and Tang Song, carrying her expectations and determination for the future.
The story of Liu Qingning and Tang Song is indeed touching.
But in terms of her feelings for Tang Song, she didn't feel that she was less than anyone else.
Although her feelings are not long-lasting enough, they are passionate and sincere enough.
She will not give in to anyone who wants to take away her happiness.
"Mr. Wen, there are still 15 minutes before the dinner starts." Wang Dandan reminded in a low voice.
"Well, let's go!" Wenruan turned around and walked out of the cloakroom with a calm and elegant step.
...
"Ding——" The elevator door slowly opened.
Led by the waiter, the two came to a banquet hall.
After presenting the electronic invitation letter.
The receptionist of Green Lemon Technology became more enthusiastic. "Thank you, Mr. Wen, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend tonight's event. I hope you can have a pleasant evening. Please come in!"
Wenruan thanked him and walked into the door.
The melodious sound of violin comes towards you, accompanied by the sound of clinking glasses, the atmosphere is warm and grand.
The banquet hall was bustling with people.
The crystal chandelier reflected dazzling light, and the long table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.
With Wenruan's arrival, he instantly attracted a lot of attention in the venue.
There was a murmur of discussion among the crowd.
Assistant Wang Dandan took the red wine from the waiter and handed it over.
Wenruan took it casually, but was not in a hurry to blend into the crowd. She scanned the venue as if looking for something.
Their eyes met in the air and their heartbeats began to speed up.
His gentle gaze was fixed on the figure walking towards him in the crowd.
She has naturally black hair, is not very tall, and has a fresh and cute look.
She was wearing a professional suit, with her full breasts sticking out high.
She is a very standard beauty with a baby face and big breasts.
Wenruan took a deep breath, suppressed the fluctuations in her heart, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, Qingning, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Wenruan." Liu Qingning's voice was soft, but with a barely perceptible tremor.
She raised her head and looked at the tall and plump woman in front of her, a hint of complicated emotions flashing in her eyes.
The real tenderness was even more outstanding than she had imagined.
The dark blue silk dress has a slightly trailing hem, which perfectly outlines her sexy figure.
Her facial features are gorgeous and charming, her eyes are bright and confident, and her every move exudes a mature and charming charm.
This is Wen Ruan, the woman who “stole Tang Song away”.
