Chapter 854 - Who Is Plotting Against Them? (2)

Sizhe Design Studio called for its first-ever emergency meeting.

The four of them sat in the conference room. Zhang Chenglin explained, “This can be considered a cosplay event that is sponsored by a wealthy person. They need up to thousands of pieces of cosplay costumes, so the profit is considerable and designing cosplay costumes is easier. We just have to design it according to the animation. The reason I could receive this project is all thanks to my college classmate. He is one of the organizers of the event. It just so happened that he is in charge of the costume aspect. But they need the costumes rather urgently. We have about two weeks’ time, so we have to speed up the process and come up with around 100 designs and send those to them as soon as possible.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Sizhe looked at Zhuang Nainai. “One hundred designs in two weeks’ time. Can you do it?”

Zhuang Nainai pondered for a moment. Working with cosplay costumes was definitely easier because there was the animation for reference. Hence, a rough idea for the designs was available. Coming up with 100 designs in two weeks was not a problem indeed. She nodded.

Then, the four of them in the company started to hustle.

Zhang Chenglin continued to promote their business outside. Cheng Sizhe had more or less learned about design, so he watched Zhuang Nainai come up with the design drafts beside her.

What came as shocking to Zhuang Nainai was the fact that Xu Dazhi was very good at his work. Normally, he would be able to finish the tasks that Zhuang Nainai assigned to him in advance. Moreover, he would also take care of the trivial matters. His doing these lessened Zhuang Nainai’s workload significantly.

As they worked together for a longer period of time, Zhuang Nainai’s view of Xu Dazhi slowly changed. In the past, she had felt like he was a very boring person who did not take his work seriously. However, she did not expect him to be so good at his work. When the three of them gathered together, she slowly started to joke with Xu Dazhi.

As the deadline to submit the designs drew nearer, they slowly started to finish up the design drafts they were working on. They were left with only a few that needed slight tweaks to its details before all the designs were completed.

Lately, Zhuang Nainai had been feeling worn out from coming up with the design drafts so quickly. She had been feeling an inspiration drain after she’d come up with so many designs while facing the laptop. Suffering from a headache, Zhuang Nainai rubbed her temples. After a while, a cup of red date tea appeared beside her.

She turned around and saw Xu Dazhi standing beside her. She smiled at him subconsciously and could not resist teasing him. “You are so thoughtful. Whoever gets to marry you in the future would be really lucky.”

After hearing this, Xu Dazhi was slightly dazed. Then, he smiled and remained silent.

As the headache was not going away, Zhuang Nainai chose to stand up and toss the pen aside. “President Cheng, may I have a sum of money so I can go get some fabric and make the costumes personally? I need to find inspiration.”

Designing clothing should be a hands-on activity. The designs would not turn out well for sure if she just stared at the laptop all day.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sizhe nodded. “Okay, I’ll give you $2000.”

Zhuang Nainai: “…!!”

Is $2000 even enough to buy a human-sized mannequin?

But she could not care less. She went out with Xu Dazhi and bought a pile of fabrics. Then, she started to cut up the fabric with scissors before sewing the pieces together. She hung up the finished apparel.

It was hanging loosely, so she could not tell anything. At last, Zhuang Nainai felt anxious. She stood up and told Xu Dazhi, “Xu Dazhi, I need you to be my human mannequin!”

Si Zhengting: “…!!”
