The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

Hearing the reporter's question, Xu Yingying's face lit up with a confident and charming smile, nodded and replied: "Yes, this is my store! Our 'Star' is a niche women's clothing brand newly launched this year. It follows a fashion-forward route and is deeply loved by young female friends! If you like our unique style of clothing, you are warmly welcome to visit our 'Star' brand at any time!" As she spoke, Xu Yingying enthusiastically took the reporter's hand, invited her to take a look around the store, and generously gave the reporter several exquisite clothing of the latest styles as gifts.

After seeing the clothes in the store, the reporter told Xu Yingying that there was a design competition going on at the TV station and that their newspaper had a few nominations available. He asked if Xu Yingying wanted to participate. Xu Yingying was very excited, thinking that regardless of whether they won the prize or not, it would be a great opportunity to promote their 'Star' brand.

Xu Yingying said to the reporter with a smile and a firm tone: "If there is such a rare opportunity, we very much hope to be able to participate in it." Her bright eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if she had already seen the scene of herself and her partners shining on the stage.

The reporter nodded and responded, "No problem, I will report this to the newspaper when I get back. Oh, by the way, this is the registration form for this competition." As he spoke, he skillfully opened his backpack, took out an exquisite registration form and handed it to Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying happily accepted the registration form, her gratitude overflowing with words: "Thank you so much!"

The reporter smiled slightly, saying you're welcome, and then continued to praise, "To be honest, it's because your clothes are novel and unique, and the designs are very creative, so I recommend you to participate in this competition."

After saying goodbye to the reporter, Xu Yingying couldn't wait to turn around and go back to the store and tell Yu Lili and Wu Yufei who were busy what had just happened.

Wu Yufei was so excited when she heard this that she immediately put down her work and came over, saying excitedly, "Lili, with your design skills, we must participate in this TV station's design competition! We absolutely can't miss such a great opportunity."

However, Yu Lili seemed a little unsure. She asked hesitantly, "Can I...can I really do this? Will I hold everyone back?"

Xu Yingying quickly encouraged her, "Lili, don't underestimate yourself! Look at the recent sales of clothing in the store. Customers are full of praise for the clothes you designed, and sales are climbing steadily. Doesn't this just prove that you have an outstanding design talent?"

Yu Lili frowned slightly, thought for a moment, turned to look at Xu Yingying, and suggested softly: "Yingying, do you want to consider joining in?" Hearing this, Xu Yingying looked up in surprise, pointed at herself and asked puzzledly: "Me?" She obviously did not expect Yu Lili to suddenly invite her.

Yu Lili smiled and nodded, explaining earnestly, "That's right. Although I've been in charge of the specific design work for some time, many of my creative ideas and inspirations have benefited from your valuable suggestions! So, without your help, these designs would have been difficult to realize." At this time, Wu Yufei beside her also hurriedly echoed her encouragement: "That's right, Yingying, why don't you join us? If two of us can participate at the same time, wouldn't our chances of winning a prize double?"

However, faced with such an enthusiastic invitation, Xu Yingying seemed a little hesitant. She pursed her lips and replied unsurely, "Actually, I just like to express my opinions casually. I'm really not sure if I'm going to actually draw something myself..." Before she could finish her words, Yu Lili deliberately frowned and threatened angrily, "Hmph, if you don't want to come, then I won't go either!"

Seeing this, Xu Yingying panicked and quickly waved her hands in compromise, saying, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you! In that case, I'll go with you!"

Because Xu Yingying had promised Yu Lili to participate in a design competition together, she had been secluded in her study room as soon as she returned home.

After a long time, Lin Weiye also found that his wife seemed to be a little indifferent to him recently.

At first, he didn't know what Xu Yingying was always doing in the study. Later, when he accidentally saw her registration form, he found out that she was designing an entry for the competition.

Lin Weiye: "Are you planning to participate in the design competition?"

Without even looking up, Xu Yingying said, "Yes, Lili asked me to accompany her. I've never participated in such a competition before, so I'll give it a try."

When Lin Weiye heard what Xu Yingying said, he said, "The project team for this competition has come to me before to ask for sponsorship. Do you need me to talk to them?"

Xu Yingying said, "No, I don't necessarily want to win a prize. I just want to raise the profile of our 'Star' through this competition."

In the bright and spacious studio of at's fashion design department, designers are busy conceiving the new season's fashion collections. Sunlight filters through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting dappled shadows on the colorful fabrics and intricate design drawings.

At this time, a young assistant hurried to Sally and said softly, "Sally, the manager asked you to go to the office to see him." Sally raised her head, smiled and responded, "Okay, I'll be there right away." She put down the pencil in her hand, tidied her hair and clothes, and then walked towards the manager's office with light steps.

Arriving at the manager's office, Sally knocked gently. A deep voice rang from within: "Come in." Sally pushed the door open and stepped inside. The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk raised his head slightly, a barely perceptible smile playing across his face. He was a bit overweight, his face glistening with oil, giving him a slightly greasy look. But his deep eyes revealed a shrewdness and competence—he was the design manager of at Apparel.

"Manager, are you looking for me?" Sally asked politely. The manager nodded, picked up a document from the desk, handed it to Sally, and said slowly, "The TV station recently held a design competition. I think it's a great opportunity for you, so I recommended you to participate." Sally took the document, quickly glanced at the contents, and a glint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
