Ouyang Jue brought Ning Caier to the bookstore and stuffed a set of thousands of pages into her arms, "In the future, all you'll be facing are foreign customers, so it's essential that you learn these specialized nouns.
Ouyang Jue was worried that Ning Caier would try to steal from it, so he decided to turn the list of books into a book. In this administrative region, Ouyang Jue seemed to have seen something he was most interested in.
Ning Caier quickly told her to stop. Following Ouyang Jue's method of selection, by the time she had finished reading, she would have already reached the level of a graduate in management.
"Have you read so many books?" Ning Caier was slightly unable to believe that although Ouyang Jue's specialty was management studies, it was said that he had done a lot of things when he was studying abroad that had nothing to do with school. The most important thing was to date.
"You can pick any book here." Ouyang Jue pointed to the bookshelf in front of him, "Turn to the first page, as long as you read the first line, I will be able to memorize everything."
The shelf that Ouyang Jue was pointing at had at least a few hundred books, and with so many books, perhaps only a computer could memorize them. Ning Caier thought that he was bragging again, so she deliberately picked up the book that was second from the bottom, which was probably something Ouyang Jue did not notice.
But just as Ning Caier read four or five words, Ouyang Jue had memorized them all, and not a single word was wrong from the entire page he memorized! Ning Caier was completely shocked, could this be the legendary bookworm?
"You really do know how to choose. I can recite this book from beginning to end without reminding you." Ouyang Jue flipped open the author's page and pointed to the name written on it. This book was actually written by him!
The person who wrote the book with me is my professor and I am the second author. This book was written about five years ago and has now been added to the seventh edition and translated into the four languages.
Ouyang Jue directly threw the book into the car. The reason why he did not recommend this book to Ning Caier at the beginning was because there were a lot of obscure professional words written in the book, but it was really too difficult for a beginner like her. However, he liked seeing her surprised expression, so he signed his name on the title page of the book as a management book for Ning Caier.
Ning Caier's mood became very anxious. She couldn't help but sigh every time Ouyang Jue put a book in, but this did not stop him from collecting an entire box. Anyway, Lao Wu had always been driving behind them, and would bring away as many as he wanted.
"I'll show you something interesting." Ouyang Jue saw that Ning Caier was sitting on his seat listlessly, he decided to take her to see a special show. The clothes for this show were all unconventional materials, so if the host did not say anything, the spectators would not be able to see it at all.
"You don't need to submit any reports after reading it, do you?"
Ning Caier was extremely worried, every single place that Ouyang Jue brought her to was not simply for a look, the summary analysis that was going to follow was the main point. As expected, the CEO unceremoniously nodded her head, her lessons were not for nothing, she had to submit her insights on time to remember everything clearly.
This show was held at an indoor exhibition in Milan. Because these clothes did not have wearability, they were all completed by some of the leading designers, and the design was inevitably a little exaggerated. However, the materials they used were ever-changing, often surpassing everyone's expectations.
After the game, there was a vote that allowed the winner to receive a prize of 5,000 euros.
"Cai'er!" Ning Caier was immediately called out when she just entered the competition. Mike waved at her from the first row, telling her to come sit with him.
Ouyang Jue naturally followed along. He knew that Mike had once won in a battle against such unusual materials, but he never thought that he would still like these things even after such a long time had passed.
"Mike, why are you not competing this year? I remember you making a small black dress out of garbage bags and then selling it out with real fabric."
Ouyang Jue knew that Mike's attitude had started to loosen, so he deliberately chatted with him. However, Mike only placed his index finger on his lips and made a quiet gesture.
Ning Caier felt that everything that had appeared in front of her was extremely magical. The two Yuan store bags, plastic ropes, and even beach balls were all used to change into clothes.
In addition to noticing the material, they also noticed the color of the model's skin, which maximized the contrast between them and the clothes, making them more eye-catching.
Ning Caier felt that she didn't have enough eyes. The next model walked over before she finished her analysis, and Mike took care of her. He reminded her from time to time about the spots on each set of clothes, allowing her to take note of the different materials.
Ouyang Jue was completely ignored, on this matter, Mike was definitely an expert, his current teaching skills were the best for Ning Caier, thus he was completely satisfied, and willingly stayed at the side to serve as the scenery board.
"Cai'er, there will be a match in a bit. Are you interested? Can I give you one more spot?"
Mike saw that Ning Caier had been applauding at the side and thought that she would be interested in participating in the competition. The following matches were also a challenge made using unconventional materials, but the participants were all new people with no experience, so the materials for the competition were also relatively simple. There were some cloth like wallpaper, vegetables and beans for decoration.
However, the winner would also receive a reward. At the very least, the newspaper would have a photo and the results of the match. To a rookie, this sort of exposure was very powerful.
The selection process was very simple as well. The competition ended at 11: 00 PM, and a photo of the designer or model was posted on the website. Based on the results of 24 hours of voting, the winner was the winner.
Ning Caier thought that this suggestion was very interesting. The show hadn't ended and she was already eager to give it a try. Ouyang Jue nodded his head to express his tacit consent. Although Ning Caier's cutting ability was slightly lacking, making clothes out of wallpaper was more or less the same as making clothes by hand.
The one who won first place was a coat made of discarded film and straw. Mike said that it would take at least two days to connect all those straw and straw, he was assured that she would only be able to participate in the tournament eight hours, it wasn't that difficult at all.
"Mike, if I win, can you join the Sky Origin?"
Ning Caier would never forget his own mission. Although the chances of her winning was extremely slim, she still had to fight for it with all her might, but since was not her teammate, he would definitely not accompany her to gamble that could affect her future prospects. However, he agreed that if Ning Caier won, he could give her half an hour to convince him.
"It's a deal?" Ning Caier extended his finger to pull the hook with Mike. This kind of childish act made Mike helpless, but he still extended his little finger out, hooking it together with Ning Caier's.
"It's a deal, but tell your boss that this is his last chance. I hope to see you more often in the future, but I don't want to see him again."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there."
At this time, the majority of the people in the competition had already retreated, and the rest were all participants who were participating in the competition. From the professional equipment that they were wearing, Ning Caier could tell that these people were not pure newcomers.
The unconventional materials might require a lot of special processing tools, but right now, other than her, Ning Caier didn't even have a pair of scissors.
"Use this." Mike disappeared for a few minutes, and when he returned, he gave Ning Caier a bag of things. This was a work that he often used to participate in unconventional competitions, and it was always on his car. He placed this heavy bag in Ning Caier's hands, "Quickly go, your battle is about to begin."
The main battlefield was upstairs to this stage. Twenty to thirty workstations were placed in a hall of a thousand square meters, while the other two rooms were warehouses. The materials needed for this competition were piled up.
Surrounding the room were the judges' seats and the family members' seats. They were able to observe every contestant's situation through the cameras placed in the room.
"You can use the food in the tea room as you wish. The time of the competition ends at 11 PM."
After the host finished speaking, he closed the door to the room. Besides the contestants, there were no other staff members here. Everyone rushed into the room like wild beasts and continuously fought over what they wanted.
Ning Caier was a little unable to adapt to this fast pace. She didn't want to fight over the crushed tomatoes and torn wallpaper, so she only took a turn at the door of the two rooms, looked inside, and quietly cut through the threads in front of the sewing machine, waiting for everyone to finish choosing first.
"Humility on the battlefield is not a virtue, but a weakness that can cause one to lose their life."
He shook his head disappointedly at the fact that Ning Caier was in such a battling state. The materials for the unconventional matches were especially crucial, and now that Ning Caier had lost the chance, it was probably her turn to hold onto the ingredients till there was nothing left to eat. For an old participant, materials that were difficult to convert, would definitely be a failure on the new player's body.
"This is her first time participating in a competition like this, so she doesn't have much experience. It's not strange that she lost."
Ouyang Jue was actually quite relaxed. He felt that the most important thing for Ning Caier to do now was to gain experience in the tournament, and not win. As long as she could make him something she could wear, it would be worth it.
However, he had somewhat underestimated the fighting capabilities of those people. By the time they had finished choosing their items, there was already nothing left in the room.
Ning Caier had only snatched a few pieces of greyish and white wallpaper, and some dark green Eagle Beans. The greyness of the wallpaper did not seem like a pattern, but more like someone had stepped on it dirty, and there was even a shoe print on it. It was extremely difficult for such a thing to be used to make clothes.
