Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next morning, when Lin Qingqian arrived at the studio, Su Ying was already there.
Not only did she wipe the table and mop the floor, but she also made coffee for her.
Lin Qingqian thanked her and said, “You don’t have to clean the tables and mop the floor in the future. The cleaning auntie will do it.”
Su Ying pursed her lips and smiled. “Anyway, I came early and had nothing to do, so I did it to pass time. This way, we can save money on hiring a cleaner.”
Lin Qingqian smiled helplessly and picked up her coffee. “Then I’ll pay you extra.”
Su Ying was afraid that she would misunderstand and hurriedly explained, “Sister Qingqian, I didn’t do this to ask you to increase my salary.”
“I know, but I can’t let you do two people’s work and only get one person’s salary.” Lin Qingqian smiled.
Su Ying smiled embarrassedly, “Sister Qingqian, you’re too good to me. I’m very happy here, even if I have to mop the floor.”
Lin Qingqian didn’t say anything.
Su Ying thought of something and ran out for a while before running in with a document in her hand. “Sister Qingqian, I’ve received news that the brand White is really coming to Lan City. Moreover, they’re also looking for a spokesperson and partner.”
Lin Qingqian put down the cup, took the documents and flipped through them. “How did you know?”
“We have a chat group for assistants. If there’s any news, we’ll share amongst the group,” Su Ying replied.
She had a weak personality and usually did not offend anyone, so everyone liked her and would tell her anything.
Lin Qingqian looked up at her. “You collected so much information in such a
short time. You must not have rested well last night. I’ll give you half a day off in the afternoon so that you can go back and rest.”
“No need, Sister Qingqian. I’m not tired at all.”
“This is your superior’s order.” Lin Qingqian said in a serious tone.
Su Ying could not refuse anymore, “Thank you, Sister Qingqian. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
Lin Qingqian nodded.
Just as she left, Han Liubai knocked on the door and entered. He said gently,
“Good morning, Director Lin.”
“Good morning, Xiao Bai.” After Lin Qingqian greeted him, she let him in and handed him the documents in her hand. “What do you think?”
Han Liubai took the document and flipped to the first page. He raised his eyebrows and looked up at her. “Have you decided to work with White?”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “You said a lot yesterday. There’s still hope if we try. If we don’t even try, then there’s really no hope at all.”
Han Liubai lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. He closed the document and said in a clear voice, “As far as I know, although White doesn’t have a long history, it now dominates the entire young market. Their requirements for partners must be very harsh. With our current development, we are not competitive at all.”
“You mean…” Lin Qingqian wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Shi Guang is still an independent enterprise. Between a mature operating company and a small workshop, if you were White’s decision-maker, who would you choose?” Han Liubai’s voice was very gentle, but the questions he pointed out were very sharp.
Lin Qingqian also knew that with Shi Guang Studio’s current situation, she could not compete with other mature styling teams at all. However, if she wanted to become a big company, she had to have a certain amount of registered funds.
This sum of money must not be small. After all, capital information could be found online. If the funds were too little, it would make the brands question their ability.
From the looks of it, if she wanted to work with White, the first thing she had to solve was the funding problem.
Han Liubai saw that she was frowning and did not speak.. He asked, “Are you worried about the funding?”
