“Many people feel that we cannot come up with good fashion designs in our country. Everyone said that our country doesn’t have any outstanding designers. I want to break that myth,” Ye Muqing added.
“I didn’t expect you guys to have such a high level of patriotism.” Du Jiuyuan was a little surprised. There weren’t many people like them nowadays.
Nowadays, most people worship foreign brands, but they have forgotten that Hong Kong City also has its brand. Each dynasty would leave countless treasures with five thousand years of Chinese history.
“Miss Du’s first design was a cheongsam for Luoluo. Didn’t she successfully display the beauty of our country’s national style to everyone?” Ye Mubai smiled warmly.
When Du Jiuyuan first asked her master to make Luoluo a cheongsam, even He Lili, her closest friend, did not expect her to put in so much effort.
“Miss Du, we like your understanding of our country’s style. Although Yuan Hua Studio is not yet the best team right now, we can make it the best together,” Ye Mubai continued calmly upon realizing that Du Jiuyuan did not say anything further.
“I thank you for your love of Yuan Hua Studio, but as you can see, there are only three people in our team. I can only pay both of you the same amount that I pay my other two employees. However, the salary will gradually increase in the future.” Du Jiuyuan said with some hesitation.
“The salary isn’t a problem. The two of us aren’t short of money right now,” Ye Mubai agreed immediately.
“Wouldn’t you consider the low salary to be unfair?” Du Jiuyuan asked.
“No, we won’t. We are sacrificing ourselves for the sake of art and fashion.”
Du Jiuyuan stood up and stretched out her hand. “Welcome to Yuan Hua Studio. I hope we can work together happily in the future.”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, He Lili pushed the door open and entered. “Yuanyuan, come and take a look!”
Ye Mubai followed Du Jiuyuan out of the office. Ye Muqing, however, did not.
“Yuanyuan, look!” He Lili urged.
“What’s the matter? Why are you so excited? Didn’t I tell you always to be steady?”
Susu made way for Du Jiuyuan to sit down. When she sat down and saw the computer interface, she was a little stunned.
He Lili chimed in from the side. “BLACK is coming to Hong Kong to expand its market!”
BLACK was a menswear brand founded by a young American designer named Master H. Young people widely loved it. The most important thing was that Master H had won the award coveted by all designers for several years in a row — the champion of Global Design Awards. This was an unprecedented achievement within the design industry.
“Master H.” Du Jiuyuan stared at the announcement made by BLACK on the screen. She couldn’t believe that BLACK would come to Hong Kong City one day.
“Yuanyuan, do you think your idol, Master H, will follow his brand to Hong Kong City? If he comes, you will have a chance to meet your idol!” He Lili looked even more excited than Du Jiuyuan.
“It’s not that easy. He once mentioned that he wanted to focus his career abroad.” Du Jiuyuan came back to her senses and said with some regret.
She did not follow celebrities, but she followed trends. She knew that Master H was determined to have his designs being in the limelight all the time. However, Master H himself had always been mysterious. Apart from participating in competitions, he rarely appeared in public. Plenty of people only knew about him as much as Du Jiuyuan did. The only precise information they had was that Master H was Chinese descent.
“That’s not important! BLACK will need a spokesperson to enter the Chinese market. Do you think we can cooperate with them?” He Lili asked.
“Do you think we’re the only ones who want to work with them? Many companies will want to work with him when BLACK comes. The competition will be extraordinarily tight! It will not be an easy task to work with them.”
Although Yuan Hua Studio had some reputation now, it was still a new studio after all. The studio was not as competitive as styling teams which had become famous from early on. He Lili’s words moved Du Jiuyuan, but she was being realistic. She knew that her studio could not compete at the moment.
“We may not have any advantages now, but we are united! As long as we are united, we will have a chance, don’t you think so?” He Lili poked Ye Mubai, who was beside her, and said confidently.
“Yes! How can we talk about success or failure if we don’t try?” Ye Mubai continued.
Du Jiuyuan was very envious of their personalities.. They were pure optimists and felt that nothing was complicated.
