Chapter 400
“Here’s some info on this project. Lind, you can have a look for yourself first. We’ll meet up with the client in the afternoon and
discuss these matters together then.” Patty handed the documents in her hand over to Janet and then winked at Tiffany before
she left the room.
Tiffany didn’t say a word as if she hadn’t seen anything.
Janet saw the interaction between the two of them, decided to put it out of her mind, and instead she lowered her head and
began to read the documents.
The client of this project happened to be Yoyo Fashion, a large-scale fashion brand company located in Seacisco. This brand
was very popular among those at home and abroad, from teenagers to middle-aged people. So it was obvious that it had a very
wide range of consumers.
Inside the meeting room.
Ronald Williams, the project director of Yoyo Fashion, began to state his opinions.
“We want the design to be fashionable, leisurely, and comfortable all at the same time. Our customers are basically 16 to 40
years old, so I hope your design can meet their standards and preferences.” After having said that, Ronald turned around to look
at Janet and Patty and said to them, “Miss Lind and Miss Jenkins, if you have any suggestions, you can put them forward at any
time during our meeting.”
While listening to Ronald just now, Janet had already quickly made two sketches. As she was about to stand up and hand the
drafts over to him, Patty had already come up to him with an iPad in her hand.
“Here are some of my previous designs that you can look at. How do you like this style?” Patty said this in a confident tone and
displayed her drafts to the people of Yoyo Fashion.
“Here’s some info on this project. Lind, you can have a look for yourself first. We’ll meet up with the client in the afternoon and
discuss these matters together then.” Patty handed the documents in her hand over to Janet and then winked at Tiffany before
she left the room.
Ronald nodded as he skimmed through. “Well, it’s very good. But the style is a little simple and there’s nothing eye-catching
about it.” He then turned to look at Janet and asked, “What does the other designer think?”
Patty looked in the direction of where Janet was sitting and then smiled politely at Ronald. “Miss Lind just so happens to be the
preliminary designer of our company. She’s only here to assist me.”
After having said that, she went on to carefully explain her ideas in greater detail.
She didn’t even give Janet the chance to speak up at all.
At the same time, Janet could do nothing about it. She simply sat there, forcing herself to smile.
After that, Janet met up a few more times with Patty and the client. She discovered that Patty was very domineering in all these
meetings. This woman always went out of her way to control the overall situation and made decisions all by herself, without
giving Janet even a chance to let everyone know her opinions.
Due to the fact that Patty had a higher rank than her and had a strong background in the company, Janet decided to simply put
up with it. She didn’t bother complaining and just did her job of assisting Patty.
Janet had originally thought that the cooperation would go fairly smoothly. Patty was really an insightful designer, but her
stubbornness happened to stand in the way. Because of her arrogance and bad temperament, she never compromised when
dealing with the client. That was why frictions could not be avoided and the cooperation between the two sides turned out to be
not very smooth.
Ronold nodded os he skimmed through. “Well, it’s very good. But the style is o little simple ond there’s nothing eye-cotching
obout it.” He then turned to look ot Jonet ond osked, “Whot does the other designer think?”
Potty looked in the direction of where Jonet wos sitting ond then smiled politely ot Ronold. “Miss Lind just so hoppens to be the
preliminory designer of our compony. She’s only here to ossist me.”
After hoving soid thot, she went on to corefully exploin her ideos in greoter detoil.
She didn’t even give Jonet the chonce to speok up ot oll.
At the some time, Jonet could do nothing obout it. She simply sot there, forcing herself to smile.
After thot, Jonet met up o few more times with Potty ond the client. She discovered thot Potty wos very domineering in oll these
meetings. This womon olwoys went out of her woy to control the overoll situotion ond mode decisions oll by herself, without
giving Jonet even o chonce to let everyone know her opinions.
Due to the foct thot Potty hod o higher ronk thon her ond hod o strong bockground in the compony, Jonet decided to simply put
up with it. She didn’t bother comploining ond just did her job of ossisting Potty.
Jonet hod originolly thought thot the cooperotion would go foirly smoothly. Potty wos reolly on insightful designer, but her
stubbornness hoppened to stond in the woy. Becouse of her orrogonce ond bod temperoment, she never compromised when
deoling with the client. Thot wos why frictions could not be ovoided ond the cooperotion between the two sides turned out to be
not very smooth.
During the project, the conflicts and disagreements between the two sides were growing more and more serious by the day.
Therefore, Ronald, the project director of Yoyo Fashion, specially invited Janet and Patty to have dinner with him, saying the
reason he was inviting them out was because he wanted to take this opportunity to ease things up between the two sides.
The restaurant he picked out happened to be in a five-star hotel.
At the dinner, Ronald and several male colleagues of his drank a lot and their faces were red as a result. During the meal, those
men headed out to smoke, leaving only three people behind. Ronald, Patty, and Janet were the only ones left in the private
room.
Ronald kept chatting a storm with Patty and began to get fresh with her.
A hint of impatience flashed across Patty’s pretty face right then. “Mr. Williams, please behave yourself. If you’re really drunk, I’ll
ask someone to take you home. We can discuss the project in-depth tomorrow at the company.”
After saying her piece, Patty pushed Ronald’s hand off her legs in total disgust.
Ronald only continued to grin shamelessly. He went on to stroke Patty’s thighs with the palm of his hands again and whispered in
her ear, “Miss Jenkins, you’re too stubborn. And I can’t let things go on like this. How about this, if you join me for one night, I’ll
make a compromise and take your opinions into consideration. I promise that this project will be completed smoothly and
perfectly from now on.”
