Perfect Pampered Marriage: Good Morning, Hubby

Chapter 53



I Think I’m Polite Enough!

“No,” Li Shengxia said confidently as she looked at Jian Dan in the eyes. “My creation will sell perfectly fine even without using your name.”

She had seen almost all the latest fashion designs, as well as carried out in-depth market research. She was pretty confident in her own design.

Jian Dan’s face fell gradually, her eyes appeared cold and stern.

The woman said Jian Dan’s creation would not sell if introduced to the market anonymously.

Whereas her own design would not face the same problem!!

Jian Dan laughed out of anger. “How dare an inexperienced newbie like you speak to a senior in this manner! Hasn’t your mother taught you manners?”

“I think I’m polite enough to a ‘senior’ that insults someone else’s mother,” Li Shengxia replied.

Tan Qing’s eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. How capable and confident was this woman in her designs that she dared to make such promises?

Jian Dan, who made a name for herself overnight, had never been spoken to like this before. However, Li Shengxia managed to render her speechless!

This young lady was surely bold to offend Jian Dan.

He was unsure if he should praise her or pity her.

A flurry of emotions moved like a storm across Jian Dan’s face. Where did that young lady gain her confidence from!

She was creatively drained indeed. However, she could not admit that to the newcomer!

She glanced coldly at the latter as if speaking another word to her was a waste of time.

“Willis’s taste is getting peculiar!” she mocked.

She tried to hide her emotions behind an unperturbed expression as she walked gracefully toward her desk. In spite of that, she made an exaggerated noise when she took to the seat. A pin-drop silence instantly filled the room.

The woman could feel her entire body shaking, even her fingers were trembling as she tried to pick up a pen. She was, in fact, about to freak out! All because of a worthless nobody!

She was eager to see if the young lady was as great as she claimed to be!

Her designs would not sell well? Ridiculous! How absurd!

The rest looked at each other in surprise.

The hidden meaning of her words hinted at the contempt she held over Willis’ liking toward the young woman. She despised the latter so much that speaking another word to her utterly disgusted her.

Li Shengxia ignored the woman’s scornful look. She returned to her desk and began making detailed adjustments to the sketch.

She was extremely confident that Ten Miles of Red would triumph Jian Dan’s design.

Prior to this, she thought the latter was a great designer, but that overbearing and arrogant attitude of hers was undeniably annoying. The only thing she could do now was to prove her worth with her actions.

Therefore, there was no point debating with the other woman because everything she said would be considered arrogance before she presented them with a concrete creation.

Since then, Jian Dan did not create any trouble with Li Shengxia.

In actuality, she could not brush off the things she had been told the other day about her depleted creativity and duplicated designs. She claimed that her designs would lose their elegance without the brand!

One day, she visited a store that she frequented with a sketch and a sample outfit.

The sales manager welcomed her with open arms immediately. “Nice to see you, Designer Jian! Which great design have you brought us today?”

A surge of nervousness passed through her as she handed over the sample outfit in a seemingly casual manner. “Well, I wish to sell this outfit in your store.”

“No problem! Designer Jian, is this your new design? It’s marvelous! It’ll surely become a best-seller once it’s on display!”

She was accustomed to being showered with flattering compliments like this. However, this time, that remark placed a heavy burden on her chest.

She was silent for a couple of seconds. “No, this design belongs to a friend of mine. She’s trying to get her feet into the industry.”

“Ah, I see.” The saleswoman examined the outfit carefully upon hearing the creation belonged to someone else. “Designer Jian, to be completely honest, this design is not truly original. But I’ll do you the favour since the designer is a friend of yours! Don’t worry, I’ll stay in touch once it’s sold.”

Colour drained from Jian Dan’s face upon hearing that the design was not original. However, she forced herself to not take it personally. “Sure,” she replied.

The saleswoman continued. “What’s the selling price your friend has in mind?”

After a brief consideration, Jian Dan suggested a price she thought was fairly reasonable. “Um… Eight thousand.”

“Eight thousand?” The saleswoman was taken aback. “Designer Jian, your designs could sell like hot cakes even if they’re priced at hundreds of thousand each. Your friend, however, is not that well-known, so this price…”

This price she quoted was way beyond the market price!

“What’s the problem?” Jian Dan did not understand. The base price for all her designs were over ten thousand at minimum, which was why she reckoned eight thousand would be reasonable for a newbie’s creation. She did not expect her suggestion would place the saleswoman in such a difficult position!

“Designer Jian, well, what about three thousand?”

“Three thousand?” The disappointment was hard to bear because eight thousand was her limit. Selling her design at three thousand was something unimaginable.

However, she reluctantly accepted the offer, in the end, knowing that she was now trying to push sales in the name of a newbie.

“Alright, then.”

She wondered who would be the lucky one to purchase this outfit!

She walked out of the store with confidence that her design would sell in no time! Normally, her creations would be sold out within minutes of being on the market.

However, it had been ten hours since she left the store and she still did not receive any calls.

In the end, curiosity got the better of her and she returned. The amount of traffic in this store was normally pretty great.

Despite that, she realized not many people noticed her design at all.

A few customers checked it out but did not place an order.

Li Shengxia’s words rang in her ears again. Finally, she stormed off in anger.

Several days later, she visited the store once more.

“Designer Jian, nice to see you. Do you have any new designs for us today?”
