Once Lou Yao Yao started drawing, she was so focused that even lunch was ordered in by the company.
At the end, when it was nearing the time to knock off, she handed in her sketches. At that time, she already drew till she was muddled. Every piece of drawing looked the same, and she was not satisfied with any. At first, she re-drew many times, but when it was getting closer to the time of submission, she could only summon up courage and submit them. Department head Wang accepted her drafts and then told her that the second step of the test will be carried out tomorrow.
Walking out of the company, confused Lou Yao Yao was brought home by Qin Zhi. Her whole head was filled with those five display models. She was used to being lazy, and such a long period of high concentration only happened two years ago during the college entrance examination.
Still, she felt that it was not bad. The feeling of doing something with all her heart, unexpectedly felt very good.
After Lou Yao Yao left, department head Wang took the drafts she had handed over and looked at them for a long time. She also found the scraps discarded by Lou Yao Yao. There were countless drafts but department head Wang was able to keenly distinguish which draft was drawing which display model. She had to say, Lou Yao Yao's drawing ability was really good. But it was obvious that her foundation in 3D Drawing was not high, her drawing style was too aesthetic, she even drew out the model's wig and added colour to it. Can tell that this girl pursues perfection.
However, taking everything into account, she was still a gem that can be polished.
On this day, Lou Yao Yao was truly tired. After she ate dinner and took a bath, she went to sleep. She did not even do her nightly homework - seducing Qin Zhi in the middle of the night.
The second day, Lou Yao Yao went to work with a high morale, her serious appearance made Qin Zhi felt a small sense of being cast aside and a little lost.
As expected, Department head Wang did not let her down on this day. She first commented flatly on her yesterday's drawing drafts and then, gave her the second test: draw yesterday's five display models from memory and only their front side, in her office.
Regarding this request, Lou Yao Yao was not surprised. After testing her drawing ability, the next would naturally be to test her designing ability. After one night, no matter how clearly she remembered yesterday, it was also impossible to meticulously remember every pleat. Drawing from memory was the surface, but instead she was testing her ability to be creative on the spot.
Five different styles of clothing, if she was tested this yesterday, she would probably have directly copied some of the design drafts she has seen in her previous life. But with yesterday's experience, using the original clothing as foundation, Lou Yao Yao combined yesterday's style of clothing and added some ideas of her own.
This time, she drew very fast, and still had all kinds of defects. After going through all of them, Department Head Wang whom had a straight face throughout finally showed a smile. She reached out her hand towards the front of Lou Yao Yao and said: "Congratulations, Miss Lou, from now on, you are officially a member of the design department."
"Thank you, department head". Lou Yao Yao held Department head wang's hand in surprise. To be honest, she really wanted to thank her, if not for these two tests, she would probably have always looked down on designing. Even if her brain was filled of clothing design drafts from her previous life, aside from whether she could draw it or not, ultimately, she was only a plagiarist. And there will come a day where she will have exhausted all the ideas in her brain. However, now, she seemed to have another way out. Also, she really liked that feeling, being serious, and the feeling of wanting to be better and better.
She didn't want to be a plagiarist, she wanted to be a real fashion designer, a dream that she had once forgotten about.
Next, Department head Wang also commented on the defects of Lou Yao Yao's two times of drawing and assigned her a job: "In this period of time, you will be my assistant first, and follow me to learn the basics. When is it that you can serve out your apprenticeship will have to count on your own skills."
After handling the job entry procedures, it will be nearly noon. Lou Yao Yao ran to the bathroom at the first opportunity, and called Qin Zhi. Then, she rambled on and told him the news of her successfully being accepted into the job. Although she did rely on her personal connections and went through the 'back door', but wasn't it also because of her ability that she was accepted?
Lou Yao Yao absolutely could not suppress her excited feelings. She used to be called a flower vase {useless} in her previous life, ridiculed and looked down upon. Now, she was really happy; happier many more times than expected.
After sharing her joy with Qin Zhi, Lou Yao Yao again dialled the phone to call Fang Xilei. Yet, she did not know what to say after the phone got through. Not knowing why, she just really wanted to cry. Her tears, not listening to her commands, came rolling down continuously, until Fang Xilei puzzledly pressed her to talk. She wiped her face and said, "Mama, let's go have lunch together".
She said to herself in the mirror: Lou Yao Yao, don't cry, you will be better in the future.
