The attic has all the information about the past and present, and I became rich by becoming a trader

In a not-so-large meeting room, besides the woman who brought her in, there was a man in a suit sitting in the middle.

On the left side of the man sat a woman in sunglasses who was very fashionable and had a strong aura.

Although it was just a glimpse from a distance, Song Youan recognized that this woman was the famous Chinese fashion designer - Gu Xiaoman!

Song Youan's calm heart finally began to stir. Gu Xiaoman has always been a designer she admired and liked very much. Her design ideas have always led many younger generations, and she herself has been more or less influenced by her.

In the Chinese entertainment industry, every time there is a major red carpet event, the top actresses all scramble to grab Gu Xiaoman's high-end custom dresses. No matter whether they fit or not, whoever gets one is considered the winner.

"Director Liang, someone is here."

The woman who had been arrogant just now changed her face to a different one as soon as she entered the meeting room, becoming more decent and humble.

Song Youan looked at her in surprise. She had just acted as if she was worth two and a half million, but it turned out she was just a secretary. As expected of an international magazine, they looked down on everyone, regardless of their position.

The man raised his lips slightly and showed a kind smile: "Miss Song, please sit down."

The atmosphere was a bit strange, and it didn't feel like a regular interview at all. The unknown situation made Song Youan defensive. She calmly turned on the recording function on her phone, and then walked to the seat to the right of the man and sat down.

"Hello, Miss Song. I'm Liang Bei, the fashion director of QG Greater China. You can call me Leo."

Song Youan nodded gently, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Gu Xiaoman across from her.

As if noticing Song Youan's gaze, Liang Bei added, "Since Miss Song is a graduate of the fashion design major, I don't need to introduce this person to you, right?"

If you don’t even know Gu Xiaoman, then there’s no point in staying in this circle.

"Hello, Teacher Xiaoman, I like you very much, especially your 21-year-old luxury series "Dark Night City", which has given me great inspiration." Song Youan said.

However, Gu Xiaoman simply nodded calmly, her eyes beneath her sunglasses showing no emotion, and her red lips barely opening as she uttered two words: "Thank you."

Such a cold and condescending attitude immediately calmed the slight fluctuation in Song Youan's heart.

The smile on her face disappeared and she no longer looked at the other person in a friendly manner.

Not to mention the international arena, even in China, Gu Xiaoman is not the only one who stands out. There are many designers who can match or even surpass her. He only likes and appreciates her, but has not yet reached the point of worshipping her and putting her on a deity.

Having said that, she hated people who looked down on their heads and treated others with arrogance the most.

It turns out that it is better for such people to live on the Internet. Once they come into contact with reality, they will be demystified in seconds!

"Ms. Song." Liang Bei spoke at the right time, a booklet in his hand. "Thank you for sending your resume to our company. You included your graduation design work in the resume document. Our company likes it very much and plans to publish it in QG's August fashion special issue."

Time is precious, so Liang Bei didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Song Youan was a little surprised to hear this, but then she was delighted, because her graduation project was the result of her six months of hard work, and she also had the guidance of her teacher and the help of her classmates. If it could be successfully published, the names of these classmates and teachers could be displayed on the title page, and might even be displayed directly behind the main designer.

QG’s August special issue will be a great addition to the resumes of students graduating from fashion design programs!

But before Song Youan could express her gratitude, Liang Bei said, "It's just that we want to publish the magazine with Teacher Xiaoman as the main designer."

Song Youan:?

Is he speaking Chinese?

Why can't you understand?

"I know this may be a little presumptuous, but we..."

"Is that a bit of a stretch? You're so presumptuous!" Song Youan interrupted Liang Bei and said righteously, "This is called plagiarizing the fruits of other people's labor!"

Liang Bei's face darkened, as if he didn't expect Song Youan to dare to say such words to his face so openly.

But he was the director of an international magazine after all, so he calmly said to Song Youan, "Ms. Song, don't get too excited. We're doing this for the company's sake. You know how influential Teacher Xiaoman is in the industry. Having her as the lead designer in the magazine will definitely stimulate the market and inspire people to buy!"

Song Youan looked at Liang Bei like he was a fool and sneered, "You still want to stimulate people's desire to buy? Do you know that plagiarizing the fruits of others' labor and making huge profits is criminal liability? Do you know what criminal liability is? It means jail time, jail time! Don't you have a legal department for such a large company? You still need a fresh graduate like me to teach you this?"

"Of course we know this. We will also mention Miss Song's name on the title page. It's just that the chief designer wants to use Teacher Xiaoman to stimulate sales." Liang Bei said earnestly, and then brought up the incentive of profit: "Of course, we will not treat Miss Song unfairly. I will apply to the company for 100,000 yuan, which will be counted as Miss Song's copyright fee. Of course, Miss Song will also receive our QG's official offer. It's official, no probation period!"

At this time, Gu Xiaoman, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke slowly: "Didn't you just say that you like me very much? If you are willing, you can directly join my team after joining."

"Then you can plagiarize my design more unscrupulously and blatantly?" Song Youan blurted out.

Gu Xiaoman's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Liang Bei's face also turned extremely ugly. He wondered why the girl in front of him was so difficult to deal with. In the past, when encountering such things, even if the other party was resistant at first, they would be tempted as soon as money and a formal offer were mentioned.

Besides, this kind of thing has become a common business practice in the industry, and QG is not the only one who does this. After all, no matter how excellent a designer is, he cannot have endless inspiration, and there must always be fresh blood to fill it.

But if fresh blood has no reputation, no one will buy it. So using a well-known designer’s name is the simplest and most effective way!

However, Song Youan's design draft was unanimously approved during the company-wide meeting. This avant-garde, unique, and highly creative design is sure to be well-received by the industry! And as the chief designer of QG, Gu Xiaoman will also gain more reputation and enhance her position in the industry.

So even though Song Youan's words were so harsh, Liang Bei and Gu Xiaoman did not get angry. After being in this circle for a long time, they knew the priorities. Their goal was to get this design.

Liang Bei exhaled a breath of turbid air and said casually, "Miss Song, please don't say such harsh words. Teacher Xiaoman is your senior after all, and this is a special event. Our company really appreciates Miss Song's design, but we are worried about sales. I believe Miss Song can understand."

Song Youan: "I don't understand at all."

Liang Bei: "..."
