Chapter 83 You’re Too GoodÂ
As if in a dilemma, Raine said, “You can’t all choose to join my team. There’d be nobody in Nancy’s team in that case. How about you all take some time to reconsider?”Â
She then looked at Nancy and said righteously, “Don’t worry, Nancy. I’ll definitely ensure there are the same number of people on both our teams. I won’t let you be at a disadvantage.”Â
Everyone rushed to speak up.Â
“Whatever the case, I’m picking Raine’s team.”Â
“Me too.”Â
Nobody was willing to take the initiative to join Nancy’s team. Raine looked at Nancy with an embarrassed expression.Â
Nancy said calmly, “It’s alright. Everyone can join whichever team they like. We don’t need to have the same number of people on each team.”Â
“Okay. I suppose that’s the only solution since there are just too many people picking my team. Sorry, Nancy,” Raine said softly.Â
Nancy ignored Raine’s manipulative words and continued, “Let’s start forming teams now. Those who want to join Raine’s team, please report to her. Those who want to join my team, please come over here.”Â
In just a short while, a majority of the designers had gone to stand by Raine.Â
Ethan, the designer whose design Nancy had modified in the beginning, silently moved toÂ
stand with her.Â
The few people remaining looked first at Raine, then at Nancy. In the end, they moved to Nancy’s side.Â
Afterward, everyone entered the conference room to discuss the theme of the new launch.Â
“Our new product showcase usually contains at least 20 sets of clothes,” said Raine. “Our team makes up 90% of the department. As such, our team will design 18 sets while your team designs two. Is that okay with you, Nancy?”Â
Nancy looked coldly at her. “We’re supposed to be competing fair and square. Does that sound fair to you? Naturally, each of our teams should design half the total number of clothing sets.”Â
Raine pursed her lips and smiled. “Oh no, Nancy. I was just afraid that you wouldn’t be able to accomplish the task with too few people on your team.Â
“I’ve decided to move forward the date of the showcase. We’ll be holding the new productÂ
Chapter 83 You’re Too GoodÂ
showcase in two weeks, at the same time as the new product showcase of another brand.”Â
Two weeks? Everyone was greatly shocked to hear that.Â
“Nancy’s team can’t design ten sets of clothing in two weeks, can they?”Â
“That’s right,” someone piped up, looking arrogantly at Nancy. “How about you all just admit defeat?”Â
Nancy asked indifferently, “Two weeks? Are you sure?”Â
“Of course I’m sure. What do you think, Nancy? If we hold the new product showcase in a month, it’ll coincide with the product showcase of a major rival brand. That will definitely affect our sales,” Raine elaborated, looking at Nancy.Â
She was trying to put pressure on Nancy.Â
“It’s no problem for me, of course,” replied Nancy. “Each of our teams will design ten sets of clothing, and we’ll decide the theme ourselves, alright?”Â
“Sure.”Â
“My designers and I will head to another office then.”Â
Nancy led her designers away and found a vacant office to serve as their temporary workspace.Â
There were only four other people in her team.Â
A round–faced designer, Emily Lowell, said worriedly, “There are two weeks remaining until the showcase, Ms. Moore. Each of us will have to design at least two sets of new clothes.Â
“It’d be fine if we were designing ordinary clothes, but these are clothes meant for a fashionÂ
show. I think two weeks is too little time.”Â
“I think the same,” Ethan chimed in.Â
Nancy looked at her team members calmly. “Don’t worry, everyone. I have confidence in our victory. Let’s first determine our design direction. Please show me your previous designs.”Â
Everyone proceeded to show her their prior designs one after another.Â
After looking through the designs, Nancy pointed out their strengths and weaknesses one byÂ
one.Â
Her speech was clear and concise, and it was made clear that she had a profoundÂ
understanding of fashion.Â
Emily was awestruck. “Oh my goodness, Ms. Moore. You’re… amazing. Did you really not graduate from fashion design school?”Â
