Yushu Buyi was originally a fabric manufacturer. It had always been a supplier of clothing and only provided high-quality cloth. The price of Yushu Buyi’s cloth was very high.

However, one product wasn’t enough. Once there was a problem with the fabric, they would be in a dilemma.

Regarding this issue, Yuan Shu had a bold idea. She would let Yushu Buyi increase the design and production of clothes and then sell them to be completely self-sufficient.

In this case, there would be corresponding upstream and downstream enterprises in terms of fabric supply, clothing design, and clothing manufacturing. It was a good development prospect.

Yuan Shu was in a dilemma because of the sudden expansion of the business and the lack of manpower, but the number of people she could trust was limited.

At this moment, Yuan Shu looked at Shi Yi, who was sitting opposite her with fighting spirit, and instantly had an idea.

“Shi Yi, I wonder if you’re interested in becoming the design director at my company. You’ll have full authority over the design of clothes and the choice of fabrics. However, I just took over the company and I decided to set up this department. I don’t know much about the pay for designers, but I can guarantee that I’ll pay you as much as others can. We can discuss this further.”

Shi Yi’s eyes lit up. She had just graduated not long ago. Even if she came back from studying abroad, her work experience was limited and she didn’t have many representative works. To be able to be responsible for the entire design department of a company was already extremely good treatment.

She knew about Yuan Shu’s company. When she first married Shi Xiao, all her information was already on the table in the Shi family’s living room. From her family background to her looks, age, personality, and so on, everything was in that stack of information.

Initially, Shi Yi wasn’t interested in this information, but when it came to clothing design, it was something she understood, so she couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Although Yushu Buyi couldn’t compare to the Wang family, who made clothes for her two days ago, in terms of operations, in terms of quality, she wasn’t inferior to anyone else. Putting aside her previous grudge against Yuan Shu, she also felt that this company was good.

Moreover, now, she felt close to Yuan Shu from the bottom of her heart and couldn’t help but want to get closer to her, so she had a better impression of this company as well.

But Shi Yi looked at Yuan Shu with uncertainty. “Sister-in-law, are you really at ease leaving the entire department to me?”

Yuan Shu relaxed and asked her, “Then are you confident in yourself?”

What Shi Yi didn’t lack the most were confidence and arrogance. At this time, she would never say that she couldn’t do it.

She nodded vigorously as she promised Yuan Shu, “I believe in myself! I believe that I can definitely design nice clothes!”

Yuan Shu’s eyes curved into the shape of a crescent moon as she said with a smile, “I believe in you too.”

Shi Bin, who had been listening for a while, couldn’t help but interrupt, “But Sister-in-law, Third Sister, if it’s like what you said, and the design department has just been established, even if this company designs very good products, the consumers might not buy the clothes. According to my teacher, consumers nowadays are more inclined to buy from familiar and relatively famous brands. I’m worried that even if we invest a lot of money, the return won’t be high.”

Yuan Shu was in a dilemma. This was indeed a difficult problem. After all, this wasn’t the ancient times, when clothing shops measured people’s sizes and made clothes according to the fabric chosen by the guests. Making clothes was only a part of the processing fee and wasn’t considered the final product.

Therefore, the clothes designed by the company could only be considered consumer goods. Consumer goods had to be paid for by the consumer in order to earn a profit. Yuan Shu only understood a little about this after watching the finance channel for so many days.

Seeing that everyone at the table was silent again, Shi Lu suddenly put down the chopsticks in her hand and said, “Can’t you just find a spokesperson? Isn’t there an influencer right in front of you guys?”

Everyone looked at Shi Lu, who was sitting beside Yuan Shu, at the same time. Shi Bin and Shi Yi were shocked. Shi Lu, who kept a low profile at home all year round, actually took the initiative to help instead of mocking them. How unexpected..
