Chapter 21: Chapter 19: The Collapsed Su Chen and the Collapsed Female CEO
The so-called networking event, Su Chen has seen plenty of them, they're not much help in improving skills, but the most important thing is that they can expand your connections and enhance your own status.
Just think about it, if you ever mingled with a well-known Italian designer, even if you're just a third-rate designer yourself, your stock would immediately rise.
In other words, it's all about gold-plating your own face.
Many people, in order to get such an opportunity, do not hesitate to spend a lot of money.
Some female designers, in order to climb up the ladder, even go as far as to trade their bodies.
Even though Dilasi is gay, his design level is indeed quite impressive, enjoying a worldwide reputation.
If you could pretend to be his senior...
Tsk tsk...
Even if Su Chen knows nothing about design, those designers will probably look at him as if he were a big shot.
If he could casually hook up with one or two female designers, that would be super thrilling.
Su Chen has already started indulging in his wonderful fantasies.
Him wearing the title of an internationally renowned designer, giving pointers to those beautiful female designers...
Just thinking about it feels fantastic.
Su Chen is immersed in these beautiful fantasies.
Suddenly, he felt a murderous aura.
He immediately snapped out of it.
Opening his eyes, he saw a cold face staring right at him.
Who else could it be but Qin Keren?
"Director Qin, what... what's up?" Su Chen wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and spoke.
"I just received an order from the president, asking you to accompany her to an event this afternoon!" Qin Keren looked disgusted, this guy, not only sleeping on the job but even dreaming something dirty, drooling.
I really don't know what the president sees in him, yet she insists on taking him to events. Is she trying to groom him heavily?
"This afternoon?" Hearing Qin Keren's words, Su Chen was a bit depressed. He already made plans with Dilasi this afternoon to give guidance to Jiangdu's top beauty designer.
"Can we change the time?"
"What do you think!" Qin Keren glared angrily at Su Chen, "The president asks you to join her, that means she values you! Get ready properly, don't embarrass me!"
"Don't worry, Director Qin, I won't let you down," Su Chen patted his chest and assured.
Qin Keren then gave him a look that read 'finally you understand', and then she walked away with her high heels clacking.
Damn it, can only tell Dilasi that I can't make it.
Sorry, Jiangdu's top beauty designer, brother will have to come guide you some other time.
Su Chen made a call to Dilasi.
"What? You can't make it? Well, then I won't go either." Hearing that Su Chen couldn't make it, Dilasi was quite disappointed. He was going mainly to meet Su Chen, and since Su Chen won't be there, he naturally lost interest in attending.
As a top-tier designer, he no longer needed to network, and as for female designers?
Dilasi isn't interested in that.
A few minutes later.
"So, Sister Yue, is your president pretty?"
"Pretty, very pretty."
"How about her temperament? Does she have any peculiar habits?" Since he was going to attend an event with the president, Su Chen felt it necessary to know a bit about her.
"Su Chen, just go, the president is really nice, not as scary as you think," Wang Yue said exasperatedly.
"Oh, that puts my mind at ease." Being personally named by the president to join the event shows that he was highly valued after all.
Also feeling very curious, what does this Yimena's female president look like? As long as she doesn't resemble the iceberg at home.
Qin Keren appeared again, just as Su Chen was looking forward to something.
"Su Chen, the event is canceled, no need for you to go!"
Qin Keren dropped the message and left.
Su Chen, confused, thought: What the hell is going on?
Well, if I'm not going, then it's a great opportunity to attend the design conference!
Su Chen wasn't disappointed at all and once again dialed Dilasi's number, stating that he was free again.
"Great, waiting for you!" Dilasi hung up the phone cheerfully.
Then he said to his secretary: "Tell them, I well be come. (Tell them, I will be attending today.)"
"Su Chen, the event is not canceled, you still have to go." Qin Keren came again.
Su Chen had to tell Dilasi that he couldn't go anymore.
"Su Chen, the event is canceled again..."
Su Chen told Dilasi that he could go again.
"Su Chen, the event isn't canceled again..."
"..."
"Stop!" Su Chen, finally overwhelmed by Qin Keren.
"Go, tell the president, I have diarrhea today, can't go anywhere!" After refusing the president, Su Chen also called Dilasi to tell him that he really wasn't going today.
"Why is that? My dearest Mr. Su Chen."
"I got my period!" Su Chen hung up directly.
Then Dilasi, completely baffled, thought: Men get periods too?
In the president's office.
"What is the deal with Dilasi? He's in and he's out, please confirm whether Dilasi will attend or not!" Lin Xi frowned slightly.
She was almost driven crazy by Dilasi.
Being the top beauty designer in Jiangdu, other than designers on the level of Dilasi, no other designers caught her eye.
She had planned to bring that newbie along, who had managed to spot her design flaws—definitely talented and worth nurturing.
But then...
"President, it's confirmed just now, Mr. Dilasi will not be attending," the secretary answered.
"Then we aren't going either." Lin Xi rubbed her temples, feeling a headache.
Today, she too was overwhelmed by Dilasi.
For the first time, Su Chen felt that working was so exhausting.
Finally, after enduring until the end of work, Su Chen continued to take his little white electric stove back home.
Upon returning home, he found Lin Xi had come back too, sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. This workaholic, actually finishing work on time?
Lin Xi put down the newspaper. In this era focused on qualifications and experience, she was sure Su Chen couldn't find a job. The reason she came back now was to purposely give him the false impression that he was returning from work.
Besides, even if Su Chen had really found a job, it must be menial labor like bricklaying or carrying cement bags.
After all, being his wife, it would be embarrassing for her if others found out.
"Su Chen, come work at my company."
"No way! I told you I've already found a job!" Su Chen directly refused.
"What's so good about that shabby company of yours?" Lin Xi immediately frowned.
"What shabby company? My company is a publicly-listed company, you know! It has dozens of floors, offers high salaries, and most importantly, the boss is a very nice person, always smiling when meeting people, unlike some... And also very good-looking!" Su Chen boasted somewhat proudly.
Although he hadn't actually seen the boss, if the employees were good-looking, how bad could the boss be?
"Haha, if it were really as you say, I would definitely know about it. Come on, what's the name of your company?" Lin Xi hummed disbelievingly, not convinced that Su Chen could find such a good job.
