Chapter 657: Chapter 658: Assessment
After Ye Qiu, Shen Zhigang, Shen Xingru, and Shen Yueru finished dinner, Shen Xingru called Ye Qiu into her room alone. They stayed inside for about half an hour before coming out.
As for what the two did inside, Shen Yueru didn’t know, but she felt that something seemed unusual between her sister and Ye Qiu, especially when she noticed her sister’s face was slightly flushed.
Ye Qiu said goodbye to Shen Zhigang and his wife, got into his car, and left the Shen Family villa to head back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
It was still raining outside, though it was much lighter compared to yesterday. Everyone at the Xingyue Group knew that President Shen had dismissed all members of the modeling team except for Amy. Some female designers in the design department were worried about being dismissed tomorrow, and part of them had already inquired at the Qingcheng Group across the street.
However, the Qingcheng Group had also heard in the afternoon that Xingyue Group planned to fire most of their female designers. Learning from Xingyue Group, Qingcheng Group also planned to dismiss most of their female designers. It was now impossible for the female designers from Xingyue Group to be hired by Qingcheng Group.
...
Returning to the Peach Blossom Source Villa, Ye Qiu played games until eleven o’clock at night. He then drove to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant to pick up his parents, sister, and Liu Lingxiu’s family.
As there was no moonlight now, Ye Qiu couldn’t cultivate and lay down to sleep instead.
The next morning when Ye Qiu woke up, the rain had stopped but it was still cloudy. After washing up and getting dressed, he had breakfast with his parents, sister, and Liu Lingxiu’s family before heading to the Xingyue Group.
First, he drove Liu Lingxiu’s family to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant and then went to the underground parking lot of the Xingyue Group.
After parking the car and taking the elevator from the first floor, Ye Qiu noticed that many female designers from the Xingyue Group had already begun their workday.
However, most of them hadn’t slept well last night. When they saw Ye Qiu, their expressions were completely different from the first time.
As Ye Qiu got into the elevator, no other female designers crowded in, which baffled him. Usually, they would all squeeze in.
Ye Qiu took the elevator up to the 28th floor and stepped out at the elevator entrance, arriving at Shen Yueru’s office door.
He knocked on the door, which was opened by the female secretary, Liu Xiaoli.
But as Ye Qiu entered, his gaze met Liu Secretary’s.
"Doctor Ye, is there something wrong?"
Secretary Liu asked curiously.
"Nothing’s wrong."
In fact, Secretary Liu’s appearance was average, and so were her clothes, but she was highly educated and competent. This was why Shen Yueru made her secretary, and many tasks were smoothly completed by her.
As Ye Qiu sat down, Shen Yueru was already waiting for him.
Last night, Shen Yueru also learned that the Qingcheng Group had copied Xingyue Group by dismissing their female models and planning to lay off a large number of designers.
Many designers from Xingyue Group had been planning to jump ship to Qingcheng Group, but now they realized that other companies were not hiring either.
"Does Qingcheng Group really copy everything?"
Shen Yueru found it quite amusing.
"Are they firing their designers too?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"It was rumored last night. They really copy everything."
Shen Yueru could hardly describe Qingcheng Group anymore. But knowing that their chairman, Wei Guomin, came from Xingyue Group and that their development and business model were essentially mirrors of Xingyue Group, she was unsurprised.
However, Xingyue Group had Ye Qiu, while Qingcheng Group did not. Shen Yueru believed that was the fundamental difference between the two companies.
"If that’s the case, I’ll help you take down that company sooner or later."
Ye Qiu said.
"That would be best. Just seeing Qingcheng Group disgusts me."
Shen Yueru said.
After Secretary Liu Xiaoli made a cup of tea for Ye Qiu, Shen Yueru asked, "How do you plan to dismiss those designers and keep the good ones?"
"Of course, according to my method."
Ye Qiu replied. His gaze again fell on Secretary Liu, as if examining her attire. Her clothes were conservative; the style, size, and color of her undergarments were completely hidden.
Shen Yueru also noticed Ye Qiu’s gaze and found it strange.
"First, gather the designers from the first four design departments, including their directors, into the conference room. Have Secretary Liu sit there, and let these designers each draw two suitable lingerie designs based on Secretary Liu."
"Me?"
Secretary Liu asked in surprise.
"Yes, you! In fact, Amy could also do it. But your conservative attire is better for assessing these designers."
Ye Qiu said.
Secretary Liu’s face turned slightly red, but she agreed. After all, she only had to sit there without taking off her clothes or anything.
Ye Qiu and Shen Yueru arrived at the conference room where Liu Secretary quickly notified the directors of the first four design departments to come up.
After about 120 designers were seated, Ye Qiu said, "Within an hour, you will each draw two lingerie designs based on Secretary Liu, and then sign and submit them."
The designers immediately understood. Ye Qiu was testing them, and who stayed or left depended on their skills.
As Secretary Liu sat there, Shen Yueru and Ye Qiu took seats, and the designers began thinking and drawing with their papers and pencils.
This kind of test made them feel like they were back in school exams. But drawing two lingerie designs within an hour, based on Secretary Liu’s figure, truly tested their real skills, creativity, and quick thinking.
For someone like Ye Qiu, an hour was unnecessary. His mind might already have dozens of suitable lingerie designs.
Time ticked by. At the forty-minute mark, Liu Xueying submitted her designs to Shen Yueru first. Ye Qiu didn’t even look at them.
However, after an hour, about a dozen female designers hadn’t submitted even one design, proving they had merely been coasting in the design department.
Shen Yueru took the designs back to her office and asked Secretary Liu to call up the remaining designers from the other five design departments for the same test.
