Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 382 - 380 The First Person to be Praised
Jiayi apologized while taking out clothing from the bag, her heart hanging by a thread as she handed it to Manager Shi.
Manager Shi took one look and his face suddenly tightened, "The clothing proposal we sent to Yundu wasn’t like this, was it?"
Feeling somewhat guilty, Jiayi still summoned the courage, "It’s a jumpsuit. Director Fang designed it just like UA’s model."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door urging them, "The advertiser wants to see the models walk, Manager Shi, are the sample clothes ready? Can you send them over now?"
If it hadn’t been for the advertiser’s sudden visit today to watch the show, and the urgent need for clothing, Manager Shi certainly wouldn’t have let Jiayi off so easily. Pressed by the urgency, he handed over the couture, "Take it to the show runway first!"
Jiayi exhaled with relief, ready to leave, when Manager Shi glanced over, "Don’t think you’re done with your task, come with me!"
Did she really think she could just walk away so easily? Manager Shi harbored suspicions about that sample clothing, so how could he let Jiayi go so easily? What if the advertiser wasn’t satisfied?
Having no choice, Jiayi meekly followed Manager Shi to the show area.
The advertising show had already started; spotlights shone down as models streamed out one by one, walking on the runway.
The manufacturers below watched the performance on the stage, occasionally making comments.
This was a car manufacturer that had just launched a sedan, with its interior and exterior design being more suitable for women. The target customer group was modern white-collar women, and the full advertising agency rights had been entrusted to UA, including planning, shooting, and styling.
Today, several manufacturers came over to check the positioning and attire of the advertising models.
The styling and dressing of these models are what would appear in the advertisements for the new car, so the clients from several automotive companies naturally watched very attentively.
It was the turn of the model wearing Yundu’s jumpsuit to make a finale appearance, and the lights dimmed.
Jiayi’s heart rose apprehensively, her gaze firmly on the advertisers, fearing they might notice something amiss or feel unsatisfied.
The runway model, standing one meter seventy-eight tall like a queen, walked with a proud and independent demeanor, matching the positioning of the new car perfectly. At that moment, dressed in a black backless, cut-out jumpsuit, she walked to the center of the runway, struck a pose, paused, turned around, then slowly walked back,
The shows finally concluded, and as the lights brightened one by one, Jiayi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Before she could fully relax, a manufacturer in the audience frowned and emphatically said, "Wait a minute! The last one, stop and come here."
The model halted her steps and, per the manufacturer’s request, came back to the front part of the runway, and stopped.
Manager Shi quickly asked, "Is there something that needs to be changed?"
Jiayi’s heart was also lifted.
The manufacturers glanced at each other and looked at the model, assessing her from head to toe. One, with a furrowed brow, remarked, "This outfit—"
Jiayi’s palms began to sweat. That’s it. She’s done for. With the manufacturers’ sharp eyes, did they notice that the dress was recently modified?
If they knew she was fooling around, she’d be doomed, not just facing Manager Shi’s wrath at UA but also likely not being let off by Yundu.
Manager Shi was also a bit nervous, having felt that this sample dress’s style was different from what UA had requested.
A jumpsuit with an open back was rather bold.
Manager Shi held back his displeasure, respectfully addressing the manufacturers, "Is it dissatisfaction with this look? It’s okay, we can change it until you’re all satisfied..."
The frowning manufacturer waved his hand to interrupt Manager Shi, "That’s not what we mean. Our point is, although we can’t find much fault with the previous car models’ looks, they were very common, without any highlights, indistinguishable from the models of other brands. Only this one, though a bit bold, is quite innovative, and very much aligns with the concept and positioning of our new model."
"We are very satisfied with this style, we feel that only the last look truly matches our new product. Manager Shi, I hope that for this ad campaign, all the models’ clothing styles can be adapted to this look."
"That’s right, our main customer group for this new product is high-ranking white-collars. Large corporate white-collars, especially women, are very discerning and unique in their vision, breaking conventional thinking is what they like, just like our new model sedan, such a look would be more interesting to them."
Manager Shi, thinking that the manufacturers were dissatisfied when in fact it was the exact opposite, stood dumbfounded for two seconds before hurriedly nodding like a pecking hen, "No problem!"
After watching the show, the manufacturers, led by UA staff, left one after another.
Manager Shi took a breath and turned around, only to see Yundu’s fledgling still hadn’t left and walked over.
Only then did Jiayi come to her senses.
She had thought that just getting through today’s show would be enough, given it was just sample clothing. She planned to tell Fang Yao about the clothing issue when she returned, and explain it when delivering the actual products next time. Unexpectedly, it went astray but hit the mark, and the manufacturers liked it.
Seeing Manager Shi approaching, Jiayi snapped out of it, holding her breath.
Unexpectedly, Manager Shi was in a good mood, and lifted his hand to pat Jiayi on the shoulder, "Right, what’s your name? Are you under Fang Yao?"
"My surname is Chu, Chu Jiayi. I’m an assistant designer at Yundu’s women’s clothing design department, and Director Fang is my immediate supervisor."
"Good, good, Xiaochu, our client is very satisfied with this sample clothing. When you go back, tell Fang Yao to keep up the good work."
"This is what we should do, Manager Shi."
The UA staff standing by the runway were bewildered, their jaws nearly dropping.
It’s well-known that Manager Shi was a man who suffered from male menopause syndrome, always irritable, and never had a kind word for anybody at the company, frequently losing his temper with the subordinates, and even worse with the subordinates of the cooperating clients.
Yundu was a supplier to UA, and no employee who came to deliver samples had ever escaped Manager Shi’s scolding.
Today, this lady was the first person ever to be praised by Manager Shi.
Jiayi just wanted to finish her task and return to the company quickly, "If there’s nothing else, Manager Shi, then I’ll head back to the company."
Manager Shi’s eyebrows twisted, "How could there be nothing? What’s the rush?"
Jiayi took in a sharp breath, "Is there something else, Manager Shi?"
Manager Shi’s tone softened a bit, "Didn’t you hear what the manufacturer said? They liked the style from Yundu. Go back and tell Fang Yao to design all outfits in the style of this back-opening jumpsuit, and then send us the sample patterns."
Jiayi stood dumbfounded for a moment, feeling a cold sweat on her back, and could only respond, "Okay."
After delivering the sample clothing, Jiayi finally left UA and took a taxi back to Yundu.
As for what happened at UA, she still didn’t know how to explain it to Fang Yao; she was anxious.
UA’s designs had always been Fang Yao’s work; now that UA took interest in her own design... would Fang Yao be upset?
