The film and television city starts from the courtyard

"Let me go. You can't be so selfish. You have to give me something back for letting me go anywhere with your father. Isn't that right?"

Zhou Fang nonchalantly picked up the rice in the bowl with chopsticks and said, "Mom, why do I hear you say that collecting wedding gifts is just like a pyramid scheme? Do we have to follow the crowd and then let everyone get on board?"

"No, look at what you said..."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Aunt, Zhou Fang didn't mean that. She just thinks that we should let nature take its course at this time, rather than getting married for the sake of money or just for the sake of getting married. You and uncle are still so young, so there's no need to rush, right?"

Zhou Yunian said, "Yes, I think what Xiao Zhao said is right. At our age, we should go out and play. Let the children solve their own problems."

"I don't care. Anyway, I have decided that Xiao Zhao is my son-in-law and will become a member of our family."

After dinner, Song Luo lived in the same neighborhood as Zhou Fang, so she asked Zhou Fang to drive her and Shen Di back home. After they got in the car, Zhou Fang sent Zhao Shucheng out and chatted with him downstairs.

"Zhao Shucheng, you are here, does Qin Qing know?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "She still doesn't know why you guys haven't been in touch much during this period. Are you having a conflict?"

Zhou Fang shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I've been busy with the contract with Wanfeng Group recently, and there's a lot of work at the company. I'm so overwhelmed that I can't find Qin Qing at all. But it's strange to say, Qin Qing used to come to see me often, but now she comes less often. Is it because you stick with her all day, so she has no time to come to see me?"

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "No, it's just that Qin Qing has also encountered problems. Her father is sick and hospitalized, and needs surgery. She has been busy taking care of her father during this period."

Zhou Fang was shocked when he heard this and said, "Uncle Qin is sick? Why didn't she tell me? Well, it's getting late today. I'll take some time to visit Uncle with Qin Qing tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll tell her when I get back. By the way, to be honest, I really shouldn't have come here today. I caught you off guard."

Zhou Fang said, "No, I know my mom. If she wants to find you, she will definitely find a way to make it impossible for you to refuse her. Besides, this is actually good. At least she won't force me to go on blind dates in the short term."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I'm glad you don't blame me. Okay, it's getting late, you should send them back quickly."

"Okay, then if my mom lets you come next time..."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll just say I'm on a business trip or out collecting folk songs and won't be back. But then you'll have to face the storm from your uncle and aunt by yourself."

Zhou Fang also laughed after hearing this and said, "That's not necessary, but we should keep each other informed when the time comes, so as to avoid being exposed."

When Zhao Shucheng returned home, he saw Qin Qing sleeping on the sofa. It seemed that she was really exhausted from working and taking care of her father during this period of time.

Zhao Shucheng went up to Qin Qing and hugged her. When he was about to go upstairs, Qin Qing woke up and leaned against Zhao Shucheng lazily and said, "You're back?"

Zhao Shucheng said softly: "Yes, I'm back. But you have to wait for me in the future. If you are tired, go and rest first. Otherwise, I will feel bad when I see you like this."

After hearing this, Qin Qing took the initiative to kiss Zhao Shucheng and said, "I know, I'm just too tired recently, and I won't be like this in the future. But speaking of it, you got off work a long time ago, why did you come back now?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Are you checking up on me? But I can tell you that I went to Zhou Fang's parents' house. Aunt Li invited me to dinner, and Zhou Fang was there too."

"you……"

Zhao Shucheng pinched her nose and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be jealous, it's just a simple meal. Aunt Li and the others thought that Zhou Fang and I were in love, so they made an appointment to have dinner together. But don't worry, it's just a meal, we don't have anything else."

"That's the best. If I find out that you dare to do something to hurt me without telling me, I will make you regret it."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Qin Qing and said, "You can rest assured about this. I have told you my views on marriage before, so if I really want to cheat or be with someone else in the future, I will tell you directly and will not hide it."

Qin Qing nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously, and said, "By the way, you and Zhou Fang's parents have had dinner together, so why don't you have dinner with my parents after my dad is discharged from the hospital? After all, meeting parents should be more formal. Meeting in the hospital can only show that you care about them."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. I also felt that it was not formal enough before. Besides, I stole their precious daughter, so I should prepare a generous gift."

Qin Qing didn't really care whether the gift Zhao Shucheng prepared for his parents was expensive or not. After all, although their family wasn't rich, they never had to worry about money. What she cared more about was Zhao Shucheng's attitude towards the matter. Seeing Zhao Shucheng so serious, she knew that he was sincere to her.

on Monday.

Zhao Shucheng was ordered to drive Zhou Fang to the Wanfeng Group, because today was the day Zhou Fang signed a contract with the Wanfeng Group. In order to avoid being photographed by reporters, Zhao Shucheng, as Zhou Fang's nominal boyfriend, naturally had to show up.

After Zhou Fang and Zhao Shucheng separated in the parking lot, they came to the conference room of Wanfeng Group and showed Song Lin and others his plans for the development of the studio.

She decided to focus the future development of the studio on offline high-end customization, and for ready-to-wear, to release a new series every quarter, with high quality and reasonable pricing as her strategic positioning.

Song Lin was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing this, thinking that Zhou Fang was a bit idealistic and did not consider the reality.

“The first part is good, but the offline operating costs are not taken into account. I only see ideals in your slides, and I don’t see any consideration of reality from you.”

"Secondly, when it comes to transformation, sales channels are not the only thing. Technology is more important. When it comes to technology, I hope you can develop your original brand well before considering other issues."

Zhou Fang said confidently: "I think ready-to-wear and haute couture can be done simultaneously."

One of the executives of the Wanfeng Group said, "Let me interject. Judging from the current situation of your team, it is a bit difficult to take care of both." "Don't worry about this, we are already looking for new jobs, and we will be able to add talents to the team soon."

Song Lin said: "This is the third point I want to make. The key is not to recruit people but to use them. I think the three supervisors of your current team are not capable enough."

Zhou Fang disagreed and said, "I have decided the positions of these three employees according to their strengths. They trust each other very much and have a tacit understanding. I believe they still have a lot of potential that has not been tapped and is waiting to be tapped. Ability is cultivated and qualifications are grown. I believe they can go further."

"In fact, there is something more important. When I was going through the most difficult time, my partners did not give up on me. I think this is what a startup team should have, sticking to oneself and trusting each other. They treat me not only as superiors and subordinates, but more like partners who share happiness and hardships."

Song Lin said: "We need to use the most professional people to do professional things. Business is not the time to talk about personal relationships, especially now. We don't have time to accompany you to grow."

Zhou Fang felt that Song Lin was a little unreasonable. After all, no team was built overnight. Moreover, even if she hired the right management team with a high salary, would it meet their requirements?
After the meeting, Song Lin looked at Zhou Fang, who looked unhappy, and asked, "Why, are you so shocked?"

Zhou Fang said helplessly: "I'm used to this level of blow. It's just a common occurrence."

Song Lin said: "What you just said is good."

"So you think it's good only after you read the joke?"

"I'm helping you."

Zhou Fang packed up his things and said, "I don't understand this even more. Mr. Song, is this how you help people?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Song Lin smiled and said, "I am trying to help everyone express their doubts, but, forget it, you are not smart enough to understand."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Song!"

At this time, Zuo Yulin came to find Song Lin, and saw Zhou Fang was also there, and said: "Mr. Song, Sister Fang is here too, how about I go out and wait for a while?"

"No, we have nothing to talk about. I'm leaving now!"

As soon as Zhou Fang left, Zuo Yulin immediately came to Song Lin and talked about what happened. It turned out to be about the contract with the designer. Although Song Lin had used Chen Chen to give Su Yushan a fake contract to catch him off guard, Su Yushan did not give up. He modified the contract overnight and gave more favorable conditions. He signed five of the eight contestants, leaving only two designers who had not signed.

Song Lin was very calm, as if he had expected this, and asked Zuo Yulin to sign contracts with the remaining players as soon as possible, but not to sign Quan Ye, because he felt that Quan Ye's style was not in line with Wanfeng Group, and he did not want Quan Ye to affect the company.

Zhou Fang arrived at the parking lot and saw that Zhao Shucheng had not left yet, so he got into the car directly.

Zhao Shucheng saw that Zhou Fang was in a bad mood, and asked with a smile: "Why, is it not going well?"

"It wasn't going very smoothly. Song Lin was like a gunpowder, constantly raising difficult questions. Fortunately, I was able to resolve them in the end, so there shouldn't be too many problems."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "You just don't have enough experience. I think Song Lin did the right thing. After all, he is your investor. He should know the details of the project more clearly to avoid wasting his investment."

Zhou Fang looked at Zhao Shucheng angrily and asked, "Which side are you on? Why are you still speaking for him?"

"I'm just being realistic. Doing business is not just about making it good for you, me and everyone else. It requires a lot of considerations. Especially when investing, you have to be very careful. But I've also seen your previous slides. You have your own ideas, and your thinking is different from other designers. If you can really make it work, maybe you can find another way."

"You really think it's good?"

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "Of course, everyone's ideas are special. What's more, you have combined them with traditional crafts. If you can really make it, it may lead the trend."

Zhou Fang nodded in satisfaction and said, "But they all think that Tang Jie and others in my studio are not suitable for their current positions and want me to replace them. Do you think I should do this?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "So what do you think?"

"I don't want to replace them. After all, they were the ones who stayed by my side when I was in the most difficult times. I can't abandon my comrades who once fought side by side with me now that the company is starting to make some progress."

Zhao Shucheng said: "It would be best if you can stick to this idea. In fact, we cannot decide on a person's personal ability, but whether the person is loyal is very important to you."

"Although their abilities may not be comparable to those of top students or executives from large companies in a short period of time, they are loyal to you. But if you abandon them just because the company needs it, then you can only share adversity, but not happiness."

"In the short term, this can indeed help the studio grow faster, but if you encounter any trouble in the future, others will not stand firmly with you and will just flee early."

“For startups, talent is important, but a stable team is more important. Even if they are temporarily incompetent, they can still learn and improve in their future work. However, if people’s hearts are unstable, then the company will also be unstable and shaky.”

Zhou Fang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Although she didn't think so much at first, she was indeed unwilling to abandon her friends just because of a few words from others.

However, what Zhou Fang did not expect was that he did not take any action in this regard, but other people in the team had their own ideas, especially Tang Jie and Youyou, who felt that they were not capable enough and could not take on the position of supervisor.

Especially Youyou, who was just an intern who had just entered the workplace, and now is about to become a company supervisor in the blink of an eye. She feels that it is not appropriate and does not think she has the ability to do such a job well.

So after Zhou Fang returned to the company, they immediately presented their idea to Zhou Fang, hoping that Zhou Fang would find a more suitable candidate.

Zhou Fang really didn't expect that others thought they were not good enough, but they themselves also felt that they were not strong enough. (End of this chapter)
