Chapter 327 - This Isn’t A Competition, But An Actual Workplace!
Luo Chenxi said with a laugh, “Where’s that confidence coming from?”
Wu Lingshan lifted her chin and looked at Chenxi from the corner of her eyes, “Do you still think this is the Huafeng Competition? Listen here, this isn’t a competition, this is an actual workplace! My father is a major shareholder of SL Group, so I’m able to stay with just this. On the other hand, you’re just a country bumpkin who graduated from a garbage school, so what right do you have to compete against me?
“Just you wait and see! The one who gets to stay is definitely going to be me. As for you… If you beg me nicely, I might just agree to let you stay and be my assistant. After all, I’m going to need to find someone to serve me tea and do all the menial paperwork for me.”
Luo Chenxi chuckled, “I didn’t expect that there would be someone who can sound all high and mighty by flaunting their father’s name. I really can’t compare to you.”
…
In the office, after President Hu saw that the door was closed, he immediately walked to Sheng Yu’s side.
“Chief Sheng, I’m not going to beat around the bush. You do know that Wu Lingshan’s father is a major shareholder of our group. So, he’s personally come and looked for me, hoping that his daughter will be able to work in the designing department. If we don’t do him this little favor, it’s going to make us look bad!”
“What does that have to do with me though?” Sheng Yu was neither friendly nor cold when he said that.
President Hu was extremely anxious. “My goodness, Chief Sheng, why are you being like this? In terms of Wu Lingshan’s designing skills, she’s not actually too bad either.”
Sheng Yu then coldly said, “However, she has bad conduct and malicious intentions. In any case, I refuse to accept her, so you should arrange for her to be in another department.”
“How do you think that’s going to turn out? Her father’s already specified that she is to enter the designing department! Chief Sheng, please be magnanimous.”
“Well, I suppose it wouldn’t be impossible for her to enter the designing department if she insists…”
President Hu was immediately delighted.
However, before he could even rejoice, Sheng Yu said, “I’m still looking for an assistant to serve me tea and work on the menial paperworks. If she’s willing to do that, she can join.”
President Hu instantly froze when he heard that.
“Chief Sheng, Do… Do you think this is a joke?”
…
Outside the office, Luo Chenxi and Wu Lingshan had waited for a long time until the door finally opened.
Then, President Hu called them in and went straight to the point, “I’ve discussed it with Chief Sheng. Both of you are very outstanding and it would be a pity to weed out either of you. So, we’ve decided to give you a chance to compete based on your strengths. The winner will be able to receive the position.”
The two of them were stunned. “A competition? What competition is that?”
Sheng Yu continued, “Next week, SL Group will be launching its latest season of sports series. So, you have one week to design a new set of ready-to-wear clothes. These clothes will be put on the shelves as a newly arrived product after it goes through the manufacturing molds.”
“After the ready-to-wear clothes are put on the shelves, the person whose design has a higher sales within three days will win the position. In addition, the winner will also be directly responsible for all future sports series.”
Luo Chenxi blinked in surprise because she did not expect Sheng Yu to come up with such a plan.
Moreover, the winner could directly be responsible for the design of an entire series!
‘In a company as big as this, it’s going to take a senior designer at least ten years of experience before they’re able to take up such a role.’
On the other hand, Wu Lingshan was secretly delighted!
‘As far as I know, Xing Chen has never actually participated in a commercial design before. This is going to be completely different from participating in a designer competition.
‘On the contrary, it just so happens that I’m very experienced in this aspect.
‘So, I’m going to win this easily.
‘Well then, it seems that Chief Sheng is also on my side, but he’s just too embarrassed to go back on his word.
‘That’s why the criteria of the competition is so obviously biased towards me.’
At the thought of that, Wu Lingshan could not help but look at Sheng Yu lovingly.
‘Actually, I’ve had a crush on Sheng Yu for a long time. In fact , whether it was participating in the Huafeng Competition or joining SL Group, I’m doing all of this just to attract his attention.
‘Now, it seems that Sheng Yu’s coldness is just a facade and I still have a chance.’
