Chapter 798: Chapter 299: Yang Chen’s Bizarre Design for LV (Part 3)

Lin Yiren pointed at the foreigner sitting on the stage and said, "Ah Chen, it’s him."

Wu Yue sensed something was wrong and quickly asked with a smile, "Miss Lin, do you know Mr. Freeman?"

Lin Yiren briefly told Wu Yue about the situation on the plane yesterday.

Wu Yue’s face changed drastically; she knew something big was about to happen, and just how big depended on Yang Chen’s attitude.

Yang Chen didn’t care about all that. Anyone who dared to harass his woman was not welcome, no matter who they were.

"Open the door!" Yang Chen said.

Wu Yue nodded and immediately pushed open the door.

The three walked in.

Freeman saw Lin Yiren and immediately walked over happily.

Lin Yiren quickly clung to Yang Chen’s arm.

Worried Freeman might say something wrong, Wu Yue quickly whispered an introduction: "Mr. Freeman, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Yang Chen, our LVMH Group’s second shareholder, and this is his girlfriend, Miss Lin."

Freeman’s smile froze awkwardly, "Hello, Mr. Yang, hello, Miss Lin. Miss Lin, I’m very sorry, there might be some misunderstanding between us."

Lin Yiren snorted without paying attention to him.

Yang Chen walked to the table, picked up some design drafts, looked at them, and said, "Are these the designs you chose?"

Freeman nodded, "Yes, Mr. Yang. These are the designs I chose; I believe they are very suitable for our LV brand style."

Yang Chen threw the design drafts at Freeman’s face and cursed, "You’re talking nonsense! LV emphasizes uniqueness and distinctiveness. The designs you chose are too mediocre; they’re just like other brands. How can we highlight LV’s brand identity?"

The dozens of contestants below were shocked by this scene; who is this handsome guy who dares to slam the LV design director like this?

Wu Yue wanted to intervene but didn’t dare.

Anyone who tries to step in now would be unlucky.

Freeman had an angry look on his face, "Mr. Yang, I admit harassing your girlfriend was wrong. But I didn’t know she was your girlfriend; if I had known, I wouldn’t have dared. I believe business is business and personal matters are personal; you shouldn’t let personal vendettas compromise the group’s interests. As a shareholder, you need to be responsible for all shareholders, employees, and consumers!"

Yang Chen sneered, "I’m not using personal vendettas! What’s your dissatisfaction? Look at the designs you’ve chosen. If LV’s products were so common, would it have developed to this day? As the headquarters’ design director, you can’t even understand LV’s brand positioning and culture; do you think you’re qualified?"

Freeman immediately flew into a rage, "Mr. Yang, you can question my character and even call me a jerk, but you can’t question my professionalism! I have served the LV brand for thirty years, and it’s safe to say I contributed significantly to LV’s success today. Insulting my professionalism is insulting the LV brand, and you’re insulting all shareholders, employees, and customers!"

This damned foreigner is quite good at pinning blame, immediately escalating things to such a level.

Today Yang Chen was determined to confront him head-on and put him in his place!

Wu Yue quickly said, "Mr. Yang, Mr. Freeman, both of you calm down; let’s go to the office to talk."

Yang Chen: "No need, let’s clarify the issue in front of all these designers today."

Then, Yang Chen picked up a few design drafts to show everyone.

Yang Chen: "Let’s look at this dress. Does it look good? Yes! But just looking good isn’t enough; other brands can design such products. If we produce this type of product, how can we differentiate ourselves from other brands?"

The designer of this dress, a woman in her thirties, immediately stood up and said, "Sir, you must know that most people’s tastes are the same; this design meets the aesthetic tastes of the vast majority."

Yang Chen: "By saying that, you show you don’t understand the LV brand. As I said earlier, if LV and other brands under the group all used such common designs, these brands wouldn’t have their current status. The LV brand has developed to the point where it’s no longer just a brand; it represents an identity, a social status. Whether they’re LV clients or not, people should instantly recognize that this product is LV, giving clients the feeling of wealth recognition. Do you understand this? Tell me, if your dress design didn’t have the LV logo, how could you tell it’s LV?"

This female designer was at a loss for words under Yang Chen’s questioning, but she eventually insisted that clothes are meant to be worn by people and should align with most people’s tastes.

Subsequently, Yang Chen selected a few more designs to critique.

This offended the bunch of designers, each getting angry with cold faces and rolling eyes.

Freeman, as the headquarters design director, must personally ensure every group design before signing off for production.

He absolutely wouldn’t let Yang Chen’s "personal vendetta" continue.

Freeman: "Mr. Yang, it’s pointless to continue this commotion. So many good designs that you think aren’t suitable—what kind of design do you think is suitable?"

The designers below echoed the sentiment.

"Are you an LV shareholder, right? I don’t know what’s motivating you to act this way. Since you think our designs aren’t suitable, then why don’t you present one for us to see how brilliant your design is."
