Starlight Magazine was ordered to make rectifications.
Just two days later.
An apology statement written by Dai Weimin himself was published in major newspapers.
Starlight Magazine admitted that there were false reports about exposing the Sichuan Provincial Fashion Design Competition because a certain intern editor of the magazine did not strictly review the content. He has already punished him with expulsion, and Dai Weimin himself reported to Ms. Liu Na on behalf of Starlight Magazine.
I sincerely apologize and hope to be forgiven by Liu Na.
In addition, in addition to blaming the intern editor, Dai Weimin also pointed the finger of blame for the incident at Li Yuanpeng.
After all, the person who originally signed the report was Li Yuanpeng himself.
But now, Li Yuanpeng can be said to have been bullied by dogs. Without Qicheng Clothing Company to rely on, even Dai Weimin doesn't take him seriously at all.
As the saying goes, if a wall falls, everyone will push it down.
For a time, all kinds of negative news about Li Yuanpeng in the industry suddenly broke out in various third-rate media.
For example, design works are suspected of plagiarism, using power to harass female employees, etc.
There are even many reports that have no evidence at all and are deliberately discredited.
Li Yuanpeng's reputation has been completely ruined, not only in these media reports, but his limited status in the industry has also been completely ruined.
In two days, Li Yuanpeng made countless phone calls and visited several clothing companies.
But he never expected that these small companies that he usually didn't even take seriously would now turn him away one by one.
In other words, Li Yuanpeng is now notorious in the industry.
…
And just as the storm passed quickly.
An uninvited guest came to Liu Na.
It's still the same coffee shop.
Liu Na looked at the blond foreign woman in front of her and could not tell at all that this fashionably dressed woman was already forty-eight years old.
Donna Karen exudes the aura of a mature woman. Sitting in front of Liu Na, she is also sizing up this Chinese woman with long black hair.
"You are very beautiful, much more beautiful than you look on TV."
Tang Na smiled at Liu Na.
"You speak Chinese very well, Miss Downer."
Liu Na glanced at Donald Road in surprise.
"I am very interested in Chinese culture. I had many Chinese customers in the United States before, so I deliberately learned Chinese."
Wearing a burgundy women's suit, she exudes the sophistication and style of a mature working woman.
It can be seen that although Tang Na has inherited Caucasian skin, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes still show that this woman has been polished by the years.
"Miss Downer said on the phone that she wanted to discuss something with me. What is it?"
After some polite words, Liu Na couldn't help but ask her inner doubts.
Although I don’t know how Tang Na got the contact information of Ma Xiaolian’s family, let alone why this famous internationally renowned fashion designer suddenly asked him to meet.
But after learning that the other party was Donna Karen, Liu Na still agreed.
After all, being able to meet such a well-known designer in the industry is a rare opportunity.
"To be honest, I have read Miss Liu Na's works."
Tang Na picked up the coffee, stirred it with a spoon, then looked up at Liu Na and said.
"You mean the works in the costume design competition?"
Liu Na was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect that an industry senior like Donna Cullen would pay attention to her.
But then she thought about what Qi Yu had said, and Liu Na calmed down a bit.
Thinking about it, it was Qi Yu who recommended him to Tang Na, so it was not surprising that he had seen his work.
"I am a newcomer in the design world, and I have never studied in any orthodox prestigious school. Those works are not worth mentioning in front of you."
Liu Na smiled lightly.
Her words are not only the humility inherent in the Chinese people, but also the self-awareness of their own strength.
But after hearing Liu Na's words, Tang Na shook his head.
"Actually, I have met many young designers in the West, and some are even design apprentices, but their attitudes are much more confident than Miss Liu Na."
Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, under Liu Na's puzzled gaze, Tang Na took out a few photos from his handbag.
"This is... my design work!"
Liu Na was also stunned when she saw these photos from the costume contest.
"Your works are very spiritual and have elements that truly come from life. This is what I am looking for when I come to China this time."
Tang Na glanced at Liu Na, then smiled and said:
"I know your life experience. You have no academic qualifications and a poor background, but what I want to tell you is that as a designer, our creations definitely do not rely solely on these things."
"Honestly, the first time I saw you, I knew I had seen the right person this time. There is something exactly the same about you when I was young."
At this time, in the booth of the coffee shop, Liu Na had a rather complicated expression on her face after hearing Tang Na's words.
"Miss Downer is saying that I look a lot like you when you were young?"
Liu Na asked with some confusion.
When Tang Na said this, he must have paid attention to the news about Liu Na these days.
Tang Na nodded and said with some memories in his eyes: "My biological father was a tailor. Unfortunately, he went to heaven when I was three years old. Later, my mother married a clothing dealer.
, but my life is not as easy as outsiders think."
His eyes fell on Liu Na and glanced at Liu Na's simple and plain clothes. Tang Na continued: "When I was fourteen years old, I worked as a salesperson in a clothing store. After high school, I started working part-time as a clothing model. I once took the exam
I entered Parsons School of Fashion Design in the United States, but I only attended school for one year and then decided to drop out."
"drop out?
Miss Downer, why would you do this?"
Liu Na asked in surprise.
Parsons School of Fashion Design is a top-ranked school in the fashion industry not only in the United States, but also in the entire West. The fashion design major is naturally its trump card major.
At least 30% of the well-known designers in China have studied at Parsons School.
It can be said that after being admitted to such a top university, you will already be a first-class designer after graduation.
However, Donner actually dropped out of school?
This is very confusing to Liu Na, who once regretted dropping out of school.
Faced with Liu Na's confusion, Tang Na just smiled and explained: "anne klein, do you know?
To use your Chinese language, it is Anne Klein, which is a top international fashion design company."
"Anne Klein?
Of course I know!"
Liu Na said in surprise that this clothing company is known as a representative brand of American fashion style. It started out as a sportswear and leisure clothing brand. Later, its clothing brands quickly became famous internationally in just ten years.
.
"When I was a sophomore, I worked part-time at Annie's Clothing Company, but they fired me after just two months."
Tangner recalled with a calm face.
Liu Na on the side was quite surprised after hearing this.
Can someone like Donald Cullen be fired?
Even though it was only when she was young, it was already not easy for Downer to be admitted to Parsons College.
"I was very unconvinced. In my opinion, what I learned at Parsons was not enough to make me a top fashion designer, so I chose to drop out of school at that time. I wanted to prove to everyone that I wanted to
Return to Anne Klein.”
At this point, Tang Na's mood fluctuated a little.
"A year and a half later, when my classmates were still worrying about their graduation projects, I had been elected as the best designer of the American Fashion Design Association. I returned to Anne Klein and became a designer of the American Fashion Design Association.
Miss Laing's successor."
Having said this, Tang Na looked at Liu Na and continued:
"do you know?
My classmates who were in the same school as me are now just designers in my company. Even now, I don’t regret dropping out of school at all, at least... the days I spent with Miss Klein, she
I learned more and became a top fashion designer."
In the quiet cafe, these words spoken by Tang Na seemed to hit the depths of Liu Na's soul.
She also finally understood why the name Donna Cullen was so remarkable.
How could someone with such a life experience be so simple?
Especially after hearing that Donner resolutely dropped out of Parsons, proved himself, and returned to the story of Anne Klein.
Liu Na's heart seemed to have something ignited.
"You have the qualifications to become a top designer. I can see that although your design works are rough and even have some signs of a layman, it is undeniable that you have a pair of eyes that discover beauty. The famous sculptor Rodin
There is a saying once that there is no lack of beauty in life, but there is a lack of eyes to discover beauty. Having these eyes is the necessary condition to become a top fashion designer."
Tang Na said these words, which greatly touched Liu Na's heart.
She also knew that her so-called design works were not worth mentioning in the eyes of people like Donna Cullen.
But even so, Donna Cullen can already read Liu Na's heart from these works.
"This is my contact information and company address. If you have the opportunity, I hope you can come to my company to study... Of course, in addition to studying, this is also a job."
Tang Ankarun handed a business card to Liu Na, then picked up her handbag and prepared to leave.
"Miss Downer!"
Liu Na quickly stopped the other party, raised her head and asked:
"Can I ask, is it because of Chairman Qi's recommendation that you value me, or simply because of my works?"
Looking straight at Donna Karen, Liu Na's eyes showed a somewhat complicated look.
Until now, she still couldn't believe that she could have such a high opinion in the eyes of Donald Cullen.
The other party even gave me an opportunity to study in her company.
But if such an opportunity was just because of Qi Yu's help, Liu Na would still refuse without hesitation.
Looking at Liu Na, Tang Na thought for a moment and seemed to remember who the President Qi in Liu Na's mouth was.
"You mean Tony?
That guy knew me before in the United States, but he wasn't very familiar with me. Although he recommended you to me, it actually didn't help you much."
Tang Na shrugged and reminded: "By the way, I didn't come to you because of your works. In fact, after seeing you today, I had the desire to let you join me.
Please consider the team’s ideas seriously.”
After saying that, Tang Na put on his sunglasses and walked out of the coffee shop.
"is that so?"
After Tang Na left, Liu Na, who was sitting in the cafe, suddenly had a relaxed smile on her originally solemn face.
