The autumn and winter clothing season plan was approved, and the only thing left was the execution. Henry Gu temporarily put the Lingyun Fashion group behind him, and led the team to work overtime to rush out a schedule, and made special details for each task.
Fashion shows in shopping malls are not like professional shows. The clothes are all practical and new styles of the season. So in order to catch people's attention, Henry Gu specially arranged the most colorful girls' line for the opening. There are a group of cute children in the children's clothing line. As for how to attract the audience with the relatively stable mature women's clothing line and the increasingly dark men's clothing... Henry Gu was holding a pen and hadn't come up with an idea yet, Yu Dawei had already slammed the table: "Let's put the underwear line at the end!"
There was a chorus of "hushes" in the office, and everyone said that you, a man, have very vulgar thoughts and are not worth having.
"Anyway, we will definitely invite the media and members, so there will be no empty seats." Hu Yueyue was lying on the table, chewing an apple. She was one year older than Henry Gu, and was a department artist. She was usually responsible for designing store advertisements and sharing snacks. She was quite likable as she jumped around.
"The central hall is so big, and the media and invited members combined are only a little over a hundred at most." Henry Gu shook his head, "And if we go to such great lengths to organize a show, and in the end only the media and members are trapped in the audience and have to stay, with no spectators outside, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"
My colleagues all nodded, it was indeed quite embarrassing.
"What should I do?" Hu Yueyue asked in distress, "Forget about the customers. I want to leave when I see business men's clothing."
The brand's strength is limited, and there are only a few new styles this season. It is obviously difficult to attract customers with dark business men's clothing, but the whole venue cannot be youthful women's clothing, so Henry Gu decided: "Let's add a few more lucky draws!"
Yu Dawei spat out all the water in his mouth. Li Yun heard it in the inner office and had to stop working to remind him that the department’s funds were limited and he should take it easy.
"You don't have to spend money to buy it, we can ask the brand." Henry Gu said confidently.
There was silence at the scene, and after a moment the crowd spontaneously applauded. What courage, what a bandit, what shamelessness, amazing!
There are many brands in the shopping mall. Henry Gu printed out all of them, ran next door with the list, and started a vigorous operation to get the bargains.
For a while, the entire Huandong Investment Department was in mourning, and everyone asked only one question when they met each other: Did Henry Gu look for you today?
Tang Wei, the manager of the home furnishing department, was in great pain. He found Blake Lu during lunch break and sat on the sofa, talking nonstop. "The new Xiao Gu in the marketing department is too much of a bully. You said you want to do an autumn and winter fashion show, what does it have to do with our home furnishing department? He came up and asked me for a quilt and two pots!"
"Mr. Lu, do you know how expensive my pot imported from Germany is?" Tang Wei's voice trembled, "And the quilt, he asked for a silk quilt right away, and he was not happy to change it to a blanket."
Blake Lu's shoulders were shaking from laughing.
"Okay, that's good enough. How much are pots and pans worth?" Lao Wang from the home appliance department was also heartbroken, "He just extorted a large color TV from me." Although it is true that the brand provides it for free, you have to negotiate it yourself. I don't know how I will repay the favor I owe.
"I understand. Go ahead." Blake Lu cleared his throat and soothed, "I'll ask Yang Yi to talk to Xiao Gu."
Half an hour later, Yang Yi went to the logistics department in person and brought Henry Gu, who was looking for a warehouse to store the gifts, back to the office.
"Look at you, you're covered in dirt." Yang Yi patted him down, "Why did you go there? There's not even a cell phone signal."
"I went to ask Brother Zhang for an underground warehouse." Henry Gu replied.
"Oh, we have to put away the spoils after the robbery." Yang Yi motioned him to sit on the sofa, "Let me tell you something. Do you know that just this morning, five investment managers came to complain to Mr. Lu and me?"
"...Because of me?" Henry Gu was stunned.
"What else?" Yang Yi sat next to him. "Your idea is fine, but you need to improve your way of doing things. This time, the investment department is willing to cooperate with you because everyone in the company knows that President Lu attaches great importance to the Fashion Festival. If it were another event, you might have wasted your words these days, huh?"
"Yeah." Henry Gu said sullenly, "I understand."
"What do you know?" Yang Yi shook his head. "Tell me, if you need to draw a lottery next time, how are you going to rob?"
Henry Gu: ...
"I knew you didn't understand it at all." Yang Yi put his arm around his shoulders. "Well, I'll teach you once. If you want to ask the investment department for something next time, write a report and give it to me. If the request is reasonable, I will pass it on as a task at the meeting. Got it?"
The same thing and the same purpose, when spoken by different people, obviously have very different meanings. Henry Gu really understood this time, and his eyes curved: "Okay, Mr. Yang, I will pay attention next time!"
"Go ahead." Yang Yi also said with a smile, "After this Autumn and Winter Fashion Festival is over, Mr. Lu and I will treat you to a meal alone."
Henry Gu: ...
Henry Gu said: "Thank you."
After a while, Yang Yi pushed open Blake Lu's office door and said to him, "It's like this, I found that Henry Gu does dislike you a little bit."
Blake Lu said expressionlessly: "Get lost.
The autumn and winter fashion show was scheduled for October 2, so there was no need to worry about the popularity of the stores during the seven-day holiday. From mid-September, local major media began to broadcast advertisements in rotation, and the atrium on the first floor of Huandong Shopping Center was temporarily surrounded by curtains. Only the tall trusses and workers coming in and out could be seen. It was quite a scene.
As he expected to have to work overtime again in the last few days of the month, Henry Gu simply booked the air tickets and hotel and sent Professor Gu and Mrs. Gu to Bali for vacation early. This was to show his filial piety and to avoid their nagging.
On October 1st, while others were having fun eating, dancing and going to bars, Henry Gu and his colleagues stayed backstage at the show and numbered all the clothes sent by all brands to avoid confusion during the show.
"Professionals are different." Hu Yueyue set up the table. "No wonder Mr. Lu trusts you so much. If he gave this job to me, I guess I wouldn't be able to set up the stage until next year."
"Mr. Lu only took a fancy to my university major. Without you, I still can't complete the task." Henry Gu hung up the last batch of clothes and clapped his hands with relief. "Okay, everyone go home and rest early, and do your best tomorrow!"
After all his colleagues had left work, Henry Gu took one last look at the backstage. The clothes, shoes and jewelry quietly displayed had a wonderful beauty and vitality under the soft yellow light at night. There are reasons why people like shopping. For example, a beautiful seasonal skirt can not only make women shine with the greatest beauty, but also make their graceful figure shine in their memories many years later.
The mall was so quiet in the early morning that it seemed like something supernatural was about to happen. Apart from the patrolling security guards, there was only some movement on the curtains in the middle hall. Just as Blake Lu was about to go over to take a look, he saw Henry Gu had quietly locked the door and left the mall alone, chewing an apple. That was the midnight snack that Hu Yueyue had left for him.
Blake Lu went backstage and took a look. The clothes, shoes and hats were hung neatly, and each piece was numbered. Even a person with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder could not find fault with it. Everyone's contact information was posted in front of the makeup mirror, and there was a small carpet under the table so that the models could take off their high heels and relax a little during the makeup breaks. Small details like these can be seen everywhere. Just like Li Yun said at the beginning, Henry Gu is indeed a careful, gentleman and gentle person - except that he wants to run away when he sees her, there is basically no other problem.
As for why he wanted to run away as soon as he saw him, Blake Lu thought about it but couldn't find a reason. In the end, he could only attribute it to the fact that Yang Yi was too careless in his daily life, so he seemed unkind and too strict.
Vice President Yang, who was blamed for nothing, shivered in his sleep, feeling that the future might not be good.
The night is very quiet.
The autumn and winter fashion show was scheduled for 8pm on the 2nd. At around 7pm, the media and members had signed in one after another. Hu Yueyue trotted into the office, excitedly chirping: "Henry Gu, Henry Gu, go and see the store. Not only are there many customers waiting in the middle hall, but even the fences on both sides are crowded with people. There are people waiting on the fifth floor. Our event is definitely going to be a big hit!"
Henry Gu didn't say anything, dropped the Coke in his hand and ran out.
"So excited?" Hu Yueyue was shocked.
"He's probably going to notify the security department." Yu Dawei handed over a hamburger, "This crowd is no joke, eat quickly, I'll go outside and take a look too."
When Dawei arrived at the store, Henry Gu had indeed brought the security department to strengthen the protection on every floor. He also reported to Yang Yi and transferred personnel from various departments to maintain order.
The curtain of the central hall has been unveiled, and the show venue decorated with pink daisy grass is so beautiful that it looks like a fairyland. Although the budget is limited, Henry Gu still managed to get the outsourcing company to build a glittering fantasy extension stage under Yu Dawei's forced bargaining. After the show tonight, this fairy tale T stage will be kept until the middle of the month for customers to take pictures.
This fashion show was Henry Gu's first major job, so Du Tiantian and Li Hao took it very seriously. They were worried that it would be a dull occasion, so they brought a group of friends to pretend to be onlookers. But when they arrived at Huandong, they found that their worries were unnecessary. The first floor was full of people, and some middle-aged women who didn't know the truth came to ask if the supermarket was having another big egg promotion, otherwise why was it so noisy.
"I'm sorry, I can't take care of you." Henry Gu was sweating all over and squeezed into the backstage through the crowd.
"Okay, don't worry about it. We'll just join in the fun." Du Tiantian happily found a seat, ready to concentrate on watching the young lady's fashion show.
At 8pm, the event officially began. Blake Lu knew that no one at the scene would be willing to listen to the leader's speech, so he ended this session with just three sentences and replaced it with a youthful model.
Every show was the same, the front stage was bright and beautiful, but the backstage was in chaos. Broken shoe buckles, wrong jewelry, and loose belts - Henry Gu took out a sewing kit from nowhere, knelt on the ground, sewed it in two quick strokes, and waved to send the models on stage.
"No way, this is possible?" Yu Dawei was amazed.
Henry Gu quickly took over a dozen pieces of underwear and said, "Borrow them."
Yu Dawei: ...
It was hard to say whether it was because of the numerous lucky draws or because the show was really exciting, but even during the boring business menswear segment, the number of onlookers did not decrease, but rather increased. Halfway through the event, Yi Ming quietly left the VIP seats and went backstage.
"It's not your turn for the nightingale yet, get out first." Henry Gu was almost exhausted and he drove people away as soon as he saw him.
Yi Ming asked: "Do you need my help?"
However, Henry Gu had already taken a new batch of models to the front to wait, and did not have time to say a word.
Yi Ming: ...
"Isn't this Director Yi?" Hu Yueyue recognized him and said with a smile, "It's not your turn yet, go back and sit down first."
Yi Ming was still looking inside, but someone behind him had already started cursing. Du Tiantian was holding a cup of hot chocolate, and was originally going to warm up Henry Gu, but he saw this annoying person as soon as he arrived, so he angrily said: "Are you Fcuking addicted to copying? Why are you still haunting me?"
The voice was a bit loud, and people around looked over here. Yi Ming's face was livid, and he didn't say anything, just turned around and left in a hurry. Du Tiantian felt that this was not a good way, so he simply didn't leave, and sat at the door with a small stool as a door god. Henry Gu heard about this five minutes later, and he felt a headache and was touched, so he "bang bang" wildly drank a large cup of chocolate in front of him to show that he was in a good mood and was not affected.
"He won't come again, will he?" Du Tiantian was worried.
"He really has to come back this time." Henry Gu put his hands on Du Tiantian's shoulders and said seriously, "Not only does he have to come, but he also has to act like a beast on stage. Control your emotions. We will beat him up after the show."
