Chapter 66

When they were in the plane, Liang Qing Qing had already informed them about her rough idea. From Liang Qing Qing’s own observation and insights, both of them had different styles. Mo Xiaoyi was pretty and sweet, while Bao Er was what they referred to as a small cutie. Since they had different styles, why ask them to take photos the same way?

So Mo Xiaoyi would take the more carefree and frisky photos that looked like a small punk.

As for Bao Er, most of her photos were similar to those slightly melodramatic types like in youth dramas. Sometimes only the side of her face was taken to show off the necklace around her neck. But some photos were also taken with the ”smokey eye makeup”, making her look like a bad girl.

There was one photo of Bao Er that looked like a small princess. She wore a pretty dress and her head was wearing a crown that Liang Qing Qing had designed. Her face was devoid of makeup, and only her hair was dyed in chestnut color. When Mo Xiaoyi saw this, she hollered that Bao Er needed to hide herself to avoid being snatched away by someone else. Because Bao Er looked so pure in this look that she seemed out of reach.

Back in “VK”, they made it just in time. Liang Qing Qing handed up her series of designs with an abnormal speed, then requested the higher-ups to give everyone a few days leave, completely ignoring everyone else’s opinion.

“When we get tired from work, it’s appropriate to take leave. Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’m around!” Liang Qing Qing spoke those words chivalrously.

It was no joke. For the past few days, especially for Bao Er and Mo Xiaoyi, both of them were so tired that they could collapse. If she didn’t give them a good rest and have a breather, then how would they have the energy to work? It wasn’t that “VK” couldn’t operate without a few of them.

Bao Er let out a sigh of relief after she heard Liang Qing Qing’s words. These few days were really hectic and she was really exhausted.

Some people also nodded and expressed their agreement after they heard his words, “Yes, these designs are certainly one of the rarest designs that appeared in ‘VK’ after all these years. In comparison to the other designs, the designer’s bravery gave it a new look and a completely different feeling. It’s really something unexpected.”

Yes, this was Liang Qing Qing’s design and those two girls on the screen were Bao Er and Mo Xiaoyi. That photo was taken by the photographer when they were playing without worries. Liang Qing Qing said that this one looked much better than those that had been taken previously.

In the meeting room, some agreed but also some disagreed, “Ji Lao, although this design is not bad, but to design ‘VK’ so carelessly like this and make them look like bad girls, isn’t this just lowering our standards? This won’t look good for our company, isn’t it?”

The bad girls that he was referring to were naturally the “smokey eye makeup” on Mo Xiaoyi and Bao Er’s faces that concealed their original faces. Moreover, their clothes were completely a world of difference from the normal models. They weren’t even wearing gowns, but extremely simple T shirt and tight pants, so there were also people who rejected it.

As the company’s creative director and also one of the judges, Tang Yue Ning was the first one to give her reason to reject it.

The person named Ji Lao shook his head and smiled: “Xiao Ning, you can’t interpret it this way. This is what we call personality, and the theme of Liang Qing Qing’s design is the young ladies series, so they are designed for girls around twenty years old. Girls at this stage didn’t have matured thoughts yet and might still even have some rebellious nature in them, which was exactly the representation of young ladies. So those rings were nicely matched for them. They looked carefree but not too wild, extravagant but not losing their purity.”

No matter how he twisted it, they were all praises for this jewelry design.

Tang Yue Ning bit her lips and said nothing. The smile on her pretty face froze for a while. “Then let’s hear what the other judges have to say!”

Some people also didn’t know whose opinions were better, so they suggested: “How about we let our president and vice-president decide it!”

Tang Yue Ning was the first one to disagree, “The CEO and vice-CEO never take part in this matter because this is our job. What we have to do is to protect our company’s profit as much as possible.” After she said that, she couldn’t even continue talking. Recalling the words that she said, and undoubtedly Liang Qing Qing’s designs were really quite good, wasn’t she just slapping her own mouth if she continued to go against it?

“Yes, Xiao Ning is right. Liang Qing Qing’s designs are very niche targeted so I believe it won’t make our company suffer monetary losses. I think this series of designs is worth promoting.” Ji Lao said excitedly in this rare occurrence.

Seeing that no one particularly voiced out against it, Ji Lao continued to say: “This style is something that VK has never done. I think we can introduce a top creativity prize to encourage our company’s designers to surpass their creativity and help push VK to greater heights.”

There were almost twenty people in the whole meeting room. There were aso some voices of disagreement, but most agreed to Ji Lao’s opinion. Therefore, without any doubts, the first top creativity prize that was introduced in the jewelry competition this year fell into Liang Qing Qing’s hands.

On the second day, in front of “VK” big building, a huge poster made Bao Er and Mo Xiaoyi become famous. As for the two people involved, nope, the three people involved were all still sleeping soundly in their homes respectively.

———————-

The second day, “VK” released the results of the competition to the public at a very fast speed. Looking at the black horse that came from nowhere, many people in the design department were shocked.

“Didn’t Liang Qing Qing just have her design blueprint stolen last time? Look, she actually became the winner of the top creativity prize! Tsk tsk, so remarkable!”

Ever since the results were announced, people in the design department started to gather around to discuss it. Since the autumn jewelry competition had ended for the time being and they didn’t need to worry about jewelry production, they would gather to gossip when they had nothing else to do.

“Yeah, I heard that those two models are not real models. They are small assistants that came here to intern for the first time, but became models for her. However, the photos that they took are really well done!”

Another person quickly continued the topic of the conversation.

“Yes, you have no idea. They’d only put out the poster in the morning, and now there are already many potential customers who called to pre-order. Most of them said they’re young ladies around twenty years old, it seems like the response outside is very good!” Yet another person blurted out some insider news.

As expected, this young ladies series’ explosiveness couldn’t be looked down upon. But it was also something that Ji Lao’s group who supported Liang Qing Qing’s designs wanted to see.

Yesterday after the judging was complete, he ordered someone to make a market survey to further understand if Liang Qing Qing’s designs are worth investing into. Although he did support Liang Qing Qing’s designs, it was still important that what she designed was welcomed by the consumers.

However when this market survey came out, they found out that many potential customers who were intrigued with jewelries under “VK” stated that “VK”’s designs and styles were too mature. Young ladies around their twenties didn’t dare to wear them at all because they were scared they’d look old-fashioned.

Liang Qing Qing’s designs this time coincidentally matched those potential customers’ taste, so when they heard that “VK” would release the young ladies series this time, they started following this young ladies series and found that they looked very good. Everyone then went on to order them.

There were also two non-professional models who were completely out of the modeling league that became famous with the jewelry as well. They were Bao Er and Mo Xiaoyi.

“You know those two interns, right? There is insider news saying that a modeling company came to ask them to join them. They’d really become famous after this round.” Another person said with envy.

The group of people continued to chatter but someone behind them looked miserable.

She got herself a creativity prize in this way, huh! Damn it with the creativity prize, it was exceedingly more popular than the champion that even the whole company noticed. Its publicity was much greater than the champion, hence, did this mean that she would have a bright future?

A bitter smile appeared at the corners of the woman’s lips who looked sad and scornful. But everyone was so indulged in the frenzy of this design that they did not notice the person behind them.
