Meng Qinghuai knew about it, but he was not clear about the true relationship between Jiang Zhi and the Hacker Alliance, so he did not ask much.

Considering that Jiang Zhi’s hacking skills are even better than Yu Ning’s, Jiang Zhi’s status in the hacker alliance must be quite important.

However, since Jiang Zhi didn't tell him, Meng Qinghuai naturally pretended not to know. It was just a tacit understanding between adults.

Besides, Jiang Jingchen and the others are still in Continent M, so Jiang Zhi doesn’t have to worry about having a place to live.

"Okay. Meng Qinghuai felt a little regretful.

If Jiang Zhi lived in the manor, wouldn't it be possible for me to sneak over there and see Jiang Zhi first?

No, no! Jiang Zhi was already angry when I sneaked to Pole Star Continent before, and it happened several times before. If I do this again this time, Jiang Zhi won’t be angry again, right?

Meng Qinghuai still didn't want to do anything that would make Jiang Zhi angry. Although Jiang Zhi was not really angry, it was not a big deal. When the time comes, he could just make up an excuse when he called Jiang Zhi and say that he had something to do.

Meng Qinghuai was calculating loudly in his mind, but unfortunately, Jiang Zhi couldn't hear him.

Jiang Zhi nodded and didn't talk about these things with Meng Qinghuai anymore. Meng Qinghuai was a little strange today, happy sometimes and unhappy sometimes. He should talk about something that would definitely make him happy.

……

Jiang Zhi went to the Gardenia headquarters the next day.

In Song Yu's office, Ruan Zhengruo happened to come to hand in her manuscript. Seeing Jiang Zhi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she greeted her and handed the manuscript in her hand to Song Yu: "Teacher, this is the manuscript for our group's new quarterly activities, please take a look."

Song Yu is Ruan Zhengruo's teacher, but Gardenia was originally a brand founded by Jiang Zhi and Song Yu. Even though it grew bigger and bigger, it did not recruit new designers.

Ruan Zhengruo and other new designers are the first batch of designers recruited by Gardenia.

Therefore, there were only two real designers of Gardenia before. The headquarters of Gardenia is more like a deluxe studio than a company. As for why it is a deluxe studio, it is because Jiang Zhi is rich and invests a lot, which is extravagant.

Although the output of gardenias was not high before, the quality is indeed excellent, otherwise no one would want a position in the fashion circle.

Although there are more people now, each manuscript has gone through layers of revisions before the final product is presented to everyone, so the quality is still so strong.

It's just that because Jiang Zhi was not there and there were no other designers, this group of newcomers were managed by Song Yu. However, Jiang Zhi was in charge of Lu You, Jiang Zhi's apprentice, and some design issues. After Jiang Zhi made the revisions, Song Yu usually didn't have much to give any more instructions, because the questions Jiang Zhi asked were always very comprehensive. As Jiang Zhi's first apprentice, Song Yu was very clear about this.

Therefore, Song Yu was usually very confident with the manuscripts that Jiang Zhi had read. However, when Jiang Zhi was not available to read them, Song Yu would give Lu You some guidance if she saw it.

Moreover, like other designers, Song Yu was in charge of Lu You's work submission, production, and window display.

In fact, this group of people are all led by Song Yu, and Song Yu is also in charge of a series of management such as guidance. However, if Ruan Zheng really accepted someone as a disciple, she is the one that Song Yu likes, so naturally he would give her more guidance.

Song Yu asked Ruan Zhengruo to go first, and he started reading the manuscript. As he was reading, he suddenly remembered Jiang Zhi who was sitting next to him, and he divided a part of it and handed it to Jiang Zhi: "Do you want to take a look?"

Jiang Zhi didn't bother to be polite with her regarding this work-related matter and took it over.

Jiang Zhi frowned and said, "They have made considerable progress recently, but it's still not enough."

It was inevitable that Jiang Zhi had high requirements. How could a manuscript that satisfied her appear among these newcomers? Sometimes she was not necessarily completely satisfied with her own manuscript. Sometimes she would revise it dozens or even hundreds of times because she was too picky. Sooner or later, Jiang Zhi would revise it until she was satisfied or as close to satisfied as possible.

"Their own styles are gradually emerging, which is a good thing. This is also because they have too little experience now. It will be fine once their own styles are gradually formed. Experience is accumulated slowly. Do you think everyone is as talented as you?"

Jiang Zhi didn't answer immediately. He looked at the draft and nodded after a while. "It's true that the style is gradually emerging, but sometimes it's not good to have too much style. After all, there are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers. Without a good horse trainer to appreciate it, it's useless to have your own style. You can only admire it by yourself. Only when you have absolute ability can you really create a work of incomparable beauty that can make people abandon some style and all defects. Then style is a plus. But we are not chosen by God. How can we make everyone like it?"

Song Yu also nodded and asked, "There are a lot of competitions recently. Do you want to arrange for them to go and gain some experience and participate in a competition to gild their skills?"

Jiang Zhi thought about it after hearing this. She hadn't paid attention to the recent competitions. If there were many competitions, it wouldn't be a problem to let them participate in some. "You can pick a few who you think are fast and smart to try. Don't participate in those small competitions that don't have much value. Choose bigger ones and find opponents for them."

"As for the others, they should improve their abilities first before going. Even if they go there just for the sake of going through the motions, it will be useless and will only lower the brand's style. Their top priority now is to keep up with those who are making faster progress."

Gardenia is a fashion brand after all, and brand reputation is very important. If you don’t have the strength, don’t send them out to compete too early. Isn’t this forcing them to do something? If the contestants achieve good results, they will certainly have a good reputation and say that Gardenia’s first recruitment of new designers is thriving. But if the results are not good, there will be voices that badmouth Gardenia, saying that the quality of the new designers after this recruitment is not good, and it is afraid that it will go downhill.

A brand is like a company. The benefits belong to everyone. Everyone is making money through this medium. Everyone prospers and suffers together. As a result, the good reputation that Jiang Zhi and Song Yu have built up over the years will be affected to a certain extent.

Although his fortune would not fall drastically, Jiang Zhi did not want to be affected by this.

"Okay." Song Yu also thought it made sense: "This will also put some pressure on those talented designers and let them know the strengths of other designers. As for those who don't participate in the competition, it will also help them see that others can participate while they can't. They will feel a little disappointed and motivated."
