This trip to the small town made both Xu Shengnan and Xiao Fei realize that they have stars and sea in their hearts, but there is still a long way to go before they can reach it, and they have to sow seeds and work silently.

After several days of painting with Xiao Fei by the river in the small town, Xu Shengnan felt the inner peace that she had not seen for a long time. The water did not compete for the first place, but rushed forward. She had to calm down and continue moving forward. After seeing Xiao Fei's paintings, she

With inspiration, we set the theme of "landscape" and use water ripples, ink printing and other elements to express it.

Xu Shengnan found the factory she used to work with. The director of the factory who told her to make it no matter how many pieces she had before made a complete turn and ordered a minimum order of 10,000 pieces because they were not a small factory that could only do this kind of work.

Baijie relies on its popularity as an "Internet celebrity". Before the brand started, Xu Shengnan lost the capital to continue cooperating with manufacturers of this level.

She transferred to a factory that took small orders. The factory could make small orders, but the quotation gave her a headache. Now she planned to make ordinary garments, but the cost accounting was similar to high-end garments. When the sample clothes came out, it became even more of a headache. She marked the data clearly.

Chu, the length was always wrong, and the accessories she chose were strictly sewed on, such as the wrong-sized zippers. Just coordinating these details, she went back and forth no less than ten times. When it was time to produce, she found that the selected accessories were wrong.

After the change, the manufacturer secretly passed it off as a substandard product.

Integrity is the foundation of cooperation. Xu Shengnan was so angry that she changed factories. This time the director of the factory was a good person, but he still did not follow her requirements. The double-layer hemming she wanted was made by the factory and she

The factory director was also very aggrieved because she was a small studio and wanted to save costs for her, and their skills were very strong and solid. Xu Shengnan communicated again and could only follow her request without any changes.

Exhausted, Xu Shengnan realized that this was the real beginning of entrepreneurship.

After finishing her work, the factory director angrily said that he would never accept such small orders again, and that he would put Xu Shengnan on the "blacklist." Xu Shengnan could just get some fabric money back as soon as she went back to settle the accounts, but she couldn't do that.

A batch of goods.

No money was made, the brand was not established, and Xu Shengnan suffered so much that his cheeks were sunken. Feedback from the VIP customer group on the clothes said that the quality was as good as ever, but this was just a maintenance without a breakthrough.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Fei mentioned resigning again to help her. Jian Yanyan couldn't meet people and could only deal with online issues. Xu Shengnan couldn't handle it alone. Xu Shengnan only had two words - don't think about it. To start a business, you need to have a

An individual is the consciousness of a team. Xu Shengnan, in turn, said that Xiao Fei was half-hearted. Today he wants to be a designer, tomorrow he wants to be a painter, and the day after tomorrow he wants to start a business, so nothing can be done well. The two had a quarrel and did not contact each other for several days.

.

……

When she was worried, Xu Shengnan received a message from Brother Lu, and everyone gathered together in the evening. She knew it was a gathering of the program team. "Strive, Designer" was recorded for half a year, and the contestants were required to stay in the dormitory for closed management throughout the whole process. The contestants and the staff got along day and night.

, we have a deep relationship, and we often get together after the show.

Thinking of relaxing, Xu Shengnan went there. The KTV box was bustling with activity.

"Shengnan!" Two designers who were close to each other rushed over and hugged Xu Shengnan and greeted him warmly, "You're so late, please go up and sing."

As they talked, the two people brought Xu Shengnan to the small stage to sing and dance. Xu Shengnan was infected by their enthusiasm and started making trouble with them, singing loudly and dancing wildly.

After the dynamic song ended, Xu Shengnan was "released". She got off the stage and sat down on the sofa. All the contestants on the show arrived, except Qiao Yan. Xu Shengnan sat down to chat with everyone. Qiao Yan is now a big-name designer.

She broke off contact with them. After chatting with other designers, she went to find Brother Lu. Brother Lu was sitting at a small table in the corner drinking alone.

"Brother Lu." Xu Shengnan greeted him and sat down, "Why are you here alone, why are you going to drink over there?"

Brother Lu glanced at the sofa and stage, "It's too noisy, I might as well go drink tea."

Xu Shengnan, who was just about to twist to the music, froze and slowly sat upright. Brother Lu has always been doing news programs, and the "Struggle" series was his first variety show. It was just an experiment at first, but he didn't expect it to become an instant hit.

.Brother Lu is a calm person and is still slowly adapting to this atmosphere.

Brother Lu looked at Xu Shengnan, "Shengnan, how is your brand now?"

"The designer store is closed, and we will go back to selling trendy women's clothing online." Xu Shengnan told the truth.

"This, this," Brother Lu became embarrassed, "I heard a little bit about it. So are you going to look for a brand job again?"

If your business fails and you return to work, this is a timely way to stop your losses.

Xu Shengnan shook his head, "I still want to create my own brand."

Brother Lu's expression froze, and Xu Shengnan felt that in his heart, Brother Lu must be thinking about how he could build a brand if he was so immature. But she didn't regret speaking out. Brother Lu chose him from so many young designers and gave her the opportunity to be promoted to the whole country and even the world.

The opportunity to showcase her works to the world, Brother Lu is her boss, and she accepts any of his opinions.

"Okay!" Brother Lu clapped his hands, "That's how it should be. I read you right."

Brother Lu admires Xu Shengnan's courage, "Life is like this with ups and downs. I used to think that I would struggle for life in the news program that I love, but I never expected that I would be sent to do a variety show. I can't use my more than ten years of experience in journalism.

I suspect that all the previous work was in vain, cough..."

Thinking of when he first started doing variety shows, Brother Lu couldn't help but smile bitterly. The new work content gave him great discomfort and suffering, but he smiled again when he saw Xu Shengnan, "But it's pretty good now, you young people

It makes me more energetic and trendy!"

Xu Shengnan laughed, and she clinked glasses with Brother Lu, "You're not that 'unfashionable' either."

Feeling relaxed, the truth came out smoothly. The two looked at each other for a moment, then smiled politely.

"You guys worked so hard on the show that allowed me to gain a firm foothold in the variety show industry." Brother Lu said boldly, "And 'famous' is the best test of a person's character. Whether you are popular or not, you are

It’s the same, but some people disappear when they become famous. I’m willing to help young people like you.”

"Well..." Xu Shengnan, who was slightly drunk, told the truth, "There is nothing else, just less investment."

……

Originally, I just wanted to share my frustrations with an acquaintance and relax. The speaker didn’t mean it, but the listener did. Brother Lu called the next day and asked Xu Shengnan to prepare for a dinner with him in the evening, saying that he had found an investor for her.

Brother Lu had spoken, but Xu Shengnan did not dare to neglect and arrived at the restaurant at the appointed time. Brother Lu came out to pick her up and asked nervously: "Are you ready with the resume and information I asked you to prepare?"

"Ready." Xu Shengnan patted the big bag she carried with her. She had brought all the staff at work. Investors can see whatever they want.

Brother Lu led Xu Shengnan into the box, where sat a middle-aged man and a young girl. Brother Lu introduced them as Mr. Liu and her girlfriend. Xu Shengnan greeted them one by one. As soon as she sat down, Brother Lu got to the point.

"This is our "Struggle, Designer" champion, Xu Shengnan, who has already held a show in Fashion Week and is very popular. She now wants to build her own brand."

Brother Lu winked at Xu Shengnan, and Xu Shengnan quickly took out his resume and brand information from his bag.

Mr. Liu looked through these and said, "I have never made clothing before, um... have you made a brand before?"

"I..." Xu Shengnan paused, "I used to have a small design studio.

"Oh, how many people are there now?" Mr. Liu asked again.

Xu Shengnan couldn't answer, so Mr. Liu glanced over, "Are you alone?"

"No, no, it's..." Brother Lu thought for a while, "I didn't think well enough, so I asked her to come to see you alone. Sheng Nan called the team members. If it's too busy... just the most important one will do.

."

Understanding that Brother Lu wanted to find someone to support the scene, Xu Shengnan stood up and walked out of the box, hurriedly made a phone call and whispered: "Xiao Fei, help me."

……

After making the phone call, Xu Shengnan was about to go back to the box when he heard conversations coming from inside.

"Lao Lu, I'm asking you to find good projects to make money, not just giving them to me."

"Look again, Lao Liu, she is really the most talented designer I have ever seen."

"Talent? What I want is to realize it. Now I have nothing. Is it a waste of money?"

"No, this is just the beginning."

Xu Shengnan was in a dilemma, but he still pushed open the door and walked in. Mr. Liu and Brother Lu had already started talking about other things, and Mr. Liu's girlfriend waved to her and asked her to sit next to him.

As soon as Xu Shengnan sat down, Mr. Liu's girlfriend said: "I follow every issue of "Struggle, Designer"."

"Oh." Xu Shengnan smiled politely. Mr. Liu probably came to this dinner because his girlfriend liked the show.

"I like you and Qiao Yan the most. You want to build a brand with Qiao Yan, right? Will he come later?" Mr. Liu's girlfriend asked with excitement and expectation.

"No, I didn't cooperate with Qiao Yan." Xu Shengnan replied.

Mr. Liu's girlfriend showed a trace of disappointment on her face, "You want to develop separately?"

Xu Shengnan nodded, "Our directions are different."

"Well, we can also support each other." Mr. Liu's girlfriend said with a smile.

Xiao Fei rushed over quickly, but Mr. Liu was not interested in projects that could not see short-term huge profits, and he chatted with Brother Lu about other things. On the contrary, Mr. Liu's girlfriend became more and more interested.

"You and Qiao Yan were so 'sweet' on the show. I re-watched those clips. You stayed up late drawing pictures together, and the look he looked at you... oh..." Mr. Liu's girlfriend couldn't stop laughing just thinking about it.

"You and Qiao Yan must go to the end!" Mr. Liu's girlfriend said with emotion, grabbing Xu Shengnan's hand.

Xu Shengnan was extremely embarrassed. Although she wanted to show off her talents, a large number of fans were attracted to her and Qiao Yan's CP. Neither they nor the program team did it deliberately, but they just developed in that direction.

"Those clips were edited, I don't know what Qiao Yan was watching." Xiao Fei hinted that it was the effect of the show.

Mr. Liu’s girlfriend’s expression froze, “They are designers, not actors.”

"Then what do you think of my work? Do you like my clothes?" Xu Shengnan quickly changed the topic and tried to "save the country" by trying to save the country.

"Of course!" Mr. Liu's girlfriend said without hesitation, "It's all your true feelings."

She was immersed in the pairing of Xu Shengnan and Qiao Yan and couldn't extricate herself.

Xiao Fei snorted coldly and said to Mr. Liu's girlfriend: "I am Sheng Nan's friend and team member, the person closest to her. I can tell you responsibly that she and Qiao Yan have no relationship other than recording the show together.

”

"Impossible! They even went to eat and sing together, and they were all photographed."

"That's the whole program. The gossip media is trying to get people's attention. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Lu."

"They also went shopping together."
