Completed?
Zhuang Nainai raised her brows. This wasn’t the reply she was expecting.
She pursed her lips, then said, “Then, Director Mi, please explain your designs to us.”
The office a.s.sistant hurriedly came forward to set up the projector. Mi Nuo booted up her computer and projected her designs onto the visualizer screen.
With her lips betraying a slight smile, she stood up and began explaining the meaning behind her designs. “Our apparel this year is going to be similar to last year’s — it’s going to be about lightness and convenience…”
These design drafts were done over a month by Mi Nuo, and they were her most satisfying designs to date.
Even though they weren’t as brilliant and creative as Zhuang Nainai’s designs, Mi Nuo was still pleased with what she had managed to come up with.
After all, she had graduated from a well-known university. Together with the fact that she had always been headstrong and keen to win, she definitely had the foundational skills to cobble something together.
After waxing lyrical about a whole bunch of concepts and ideas, which managed to convince everyone that her designs were indeed up to par, she turned to Zhuang Nainai and asked, “Zhuang Nainai, what do you think?”
What did she think?
Zhuang Nainai narrowed her eyes and looked toward the design drafts on the screen.
Honestly speaking, Mi Nuo was indeed someone with abilities. It was undeniable that her drawings weren’t too bad.
Yet, her designs were too conservative and lacking in creativity.
She cast another glance at Mi Nuo’s proud mannerisms. If these had been the design drafts by Senior Su Jinhui, she wouldn’t criticize them because they were adequate.
But Zhuang Nainai had vowed to make Mi Nuo’s life hard. Narrowing her eyes, she stood up. “Your designs are not bad.”
Hearing this, Mi Nuo raised her chin, pleased.
Zhuang Nainai smiled and continued, “But I feel that there are still some flaws here and there. If you were to make some adjustments here, the design would be much better. ”
Just as she finished her sentence, Mi Nuo retorted angrily, “Zhuang Nainai, a person’s design comes from one’s conceptual ideas. Don’t point your fingers at people’s work!”
“I’m sorry, but the fas.h.i.+on design department is under my care at the moment, so the final decision as to how the design drafts will be like lies with me.”
Having said this, Zhuang Nainai simply picked up her pen and began making alterations to the designs. With a few strokes here and a few hooks there, the design drafts suddenly seemed to take on a life of their own, and they became much more eye-catching.
It was now clear to all who was superior between Mi Nuo or Zhuang Nainai.
Looking at her amended design drafts, Mi Nuo tightened her fists. In the face of such humiliation, she even began to shake in anger.
Zhuang Nainai turned around and smiled at Mi Nuo, criticizing, “Director Mi, you need to display the level of talent you had when you partic.i.p.ated in the Starlight Design Compet.i.tion!”
Mi Nuo narrowed her eyes. “Zhuang Nainai, I’m your superior!’
“I know that~” Zhuang Nainai shrugged her shoulders. “But I’m the wife of your superior.”
That made Mi Nuo nearly puke blood!
The meeting having ended, everyone began making their way out of the conference room. Only two people remained in the room — no, three — because there was still Dazhuang, who followed Zhuang Nainai closely wherever she went.
Mi Nuo stared at Zhuang Nainai. “Zhuang Nainai, don’t you go overboard!”
Zhuang Nainai, packing her belongings, turned her head to beam at her. “If I can anger someone to death without paying for it, why won’t I choose to go overboard?”
Mi Nuo was trembling with rage from what Zhuang Nainai had just said. Curling her fists, she suddenly lowered her voice. “Zhuang Nainai, don’t tell me that you don’t want to know where your Mother Zhuang is?!”
That made Zhuang Nainai freeze!
