Chapter 347: Wu Lingshan Has Won!
At that moment, Sheng Yu coughed heavily as he stood on the podium.
Hence, the two of them quickly returned to their seats and the meeting began.
Then, Sheng Yu gave a brief account of the company’s recent developments, then gave a chance to each of the managers of each brand to make their announcements.
SL Group now had 34 design brands, covering different markets from clothing to accessories, from high-end to low-end.
Furthermore, the person-in-charge of each brand was a senior designer, who all had their unique insights in marketing.
As Luo Chenxi listened from below, she benefited from it a lot. In fact, she even took out her notebook and quickly took down some notes.
On the other hand, Wu Lingshan sat beside her and sneered.
‘Country bumpkin!
‘These meetings are held every week regularly, so what’s there to record?’
Hence, the meeting went on for more than three hours, but Luo Chenxi did not feel that that amount of time had passed at all.
‘I’ve learned so much today!
‘As expected, working in a big company is the most helpful thing to me!’
Then, Sheng Yu took back the microphone after all the people in charge had finished speaking.
After clearing his throat, he said, “Alright, there’s one last thing today. I’m sure everyone’s heard that the first prize winner of the Huafeng Competition, Xing Chen, and Director Wu’s daughter, Wu Lingshan, are competing to become FADE’s senior designer.”
Hearing this, Wu Lingshan, who was originally sleepy, suddenly became energetic.
“The deadline for this competition is at 6pm. Before the meeting, I’ve spoken to Xiao Chen from the sales department to send me the sales data as soon as he gets it. However, it’s already past the deadline now, yet he’s still not here.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a designer could not help but speak up.
“Actually, the winner of this competition has already been decided, hasn’t it? I’ve already looked at the statistics before this morning. Over the past two and a half days, the clothes designed by Wu Lingshan have sold 450 pieces, while the ones designed by Xing Chen… Hasn’t even exceeded 100 pieces, I think? Oh, sorry, she did manage to sell 205 pieces, but 110 of it ended up being returned.”
Obviously, this designer was in good relations with Wu Yingdi.
Therefore, he was praising Wu Lingshan incessantly.
“Despite being a rookie designer, she’s been able to sell so many clothes in such a short time! She’s definitely a genius!”
Although Wu Lingshan felt proud in her heart, she pretended to remain humble on the surface.
“Senior, you’re overpraising me. I’m not that good actually. The only thing is that commercial fashion design is different from runway design. I’ve run my own brand previously, so I’ve got a slightly better understanding of the market compared to Xing Chen.”
Actually, most of the designers present were not aware of the details of the competition, so they were all shocked when they heard this.
“Are you serious? The difference between their sales is actually that great?! This is such a surprise!”
“Exactly! I don’t think this is possible either. I’ve seen both of their designs, so no matter how I look at it, Xing Chen’s design should be the one that would sell better. Are you telling me that my fashion sense has become outdated already?”
“Did Xing Chen forget to check the quality of her designs when they left the factory? There’s literally no way to explain the amount of clothes that had been returned.”
Thus, there was an uproar in the meeting room where most people found this result hard to accept.
Moreover, everyone had watched the Huafeng Competition, so it was in hindsight who was a better designer, Xing Chen, or Wu Lingshan.
Furthermore, this was definitely not something that could be justified with “commercial design” as its criteria.
Hence, everyone looked at Sheng Yu in unison, who was also nodding his head. “Based on the sales data I’ve received at 12pm today, that’s indeed the case. However, I haven’t received the latest updated data yet.”
“Assistant Chen must have been delayed because of some matters. It’s already 6:30pm, so I think there’s no need to wait any longer since it’d be a waste of everyone’s time,” said the designer who had spoken earlier.
“After all, the difference in their sales is almost fourfolds! So, there’s no way there could’ve been a reversal in just half a day’s time. Wu Lingshan has won!”
