The next day, Shi Yi rushed to the company early in the morning. The influence of public opinion is still fermenting, and Feiyi’s new autumn and winter designs are bound to be affected by it.
Sure enough, Feiyi received a large number of canceled orders, while most customers they met at the Lu family banquet also took a wait-and-see attitude. Shi Yi went to the design department to see Fang Huiyi losing his temper.
“If you don’t buy, don’t buy. I don’t care anymore!” Fang Huiyi flicked the design draft. “Anyway, it’s only limited to the current season. There’ll be no more opportunities after this.”
No one dared speak out in the design department, feeling unhappy in their hearts. Someone who cancels an order because of gossip will definitely not become a long-term customer.
Seeing Shi Yi, Fang Huiyi immediately trotted over, his mouth flapping: “That Lu Jingyan is scum, flirting with omegas in broad daylight. I’ll punch him good!”
The corners of Shi Yi’s mouth curled up. Fang Huiyi can say what he wants, but under the circumstances back then, it would be very difficult for omegas to make large movements, and the few who didn’t put the isolation stickers almost fainted.
“Boss Lu did the right thing, but he was in too much of a hurry,” Fang Huiyi continued. “Everyone is chasing rumors now. Wait and see if they don’t come back and beg us later.”
Shi Yi murmured calmly, “The design draft for autumn and winter still needs to be perfected. As a fashion company, the most important thing for us is to work. The design department must continue to work hard. Don’t worry about the rest.”
Several designers raised their heads one after another. Shi Yi is not a dignified, unfriendly boss; on the contrary, he is very friendly. Apart from being strict with design drafts, he will accept all kinds of innocuous suggestions.
This kind of boss will generally get along well with employees, but the disadvantage is that he can become unconvincing in front of a crowd. But every time Feiyi experiences a crisis, Shi Yi will always stand up to deal with the problem and block all the malice from the outside world.
It is not easy for omegas to gain a firm foothold in the business world. Even if Feiyi is a relatively small design firm, running it requires hard work. Shi Yi’s current position is entirely the product of his blood, sweat, and tears, and both alphas and omegas in the company respect him very much.
“Did you hear that? The big boss has spoken!” Fang Huiyi waved his hand. “Don’t be so sad! At such a juncture, it’s even more important to produce good works. Y’all tuck up your chins for me!”
“Yes, Brother Fang!”
“The big boss is mighty!”
“Boss is the best!”
The design department is the backbone of a fashion company. Seeing their emotions mobilized again, Shi Yi felt slightly relieved. It’s just that the essential problem has not been solved. How to ensure revenue after a large number of orders are canceled, how to report to the board, and how to deal with the end of quarter audit… These questions all need to be considered.
Feiyi has grown from a studio to a company that is about to go public, and will face various problems. But no matter how difficult it is, Shi Yi doesn’t want his employees to face the pressure. He can’t fall. Even if there is only an empty shell left, he must maintain stability on the surface.
This is what he learned from Shu Wen. His gentle and soft omega father insisted on propping up an invincible image in front of him, and even deceived himself, even though his body and mind were long riddled with holes.
Shi Yi curled up his fingers and pressed them against his temples, feeling a dull pain in his head.
The incomplete development of his glands leads to neuralgia when he works too hard or overstressed. In severe cases, the entire back of the neck to the top of the head will be numb, and even a slight shake will cause a splitting headache.
Shi Yi took out the medicine from the drawer and took it. It’s easy to become dependent on this medicine, so he’s been controlling the dose and only takes it when he can’t bear it anymore. When drinking water, Shi Yi stared at his wrist, and the fingers holding the cup trembled involuntarily.
He sighed. Too many things have happened recently, and his doctor’s appointment has been delayed. He needs to make an appointment soon.
Ten minutes later, the medicine took effect, and Shi Yi readied to start working. Just then, Qiu Qiu pushed the door and rushed in, “Boss, boss…”
Shi Yi raised his eyes lightly, and waited for him to catch his breath, “What’s wrong?”
“We’ve received several big orders!” Qiu Qiu said excitedly. At the same time, he noticed the strange color on Shi Yi’s face, and hesitated, “Boss, are you… not feeling well again?”
“It’s okay.” Shi Yi pinched the bridge of his nose, only to find that the tip of his nose was covered with beads of sweat, and his body felt icy.
“Which company sent it?” He asked, “Did the finance department check it out?”
“It’s Yunye Media!” Qiu Qiu lit up the tablet and handed it to him. “The order has been confirmed, and Yunye Media’s side has also issued an official announcement.”
“In the past, it took them a week to announce such a thing, but this time the efficiency is so high!”
Lu Yunye? Shi Yi was slightly taken aback, Yunye Media is already the nominal parent company of Feiyi, and all orders should be based on the internal price. But this order is based on the market prices – their finance department should not make such a mistake.
“The deposit has already been paid.” Qiu Qiu slid the screen, and sure enough, he saw the invoice. “Yunye’s payment alone made up for our loss.”
“Okay, I understand.” Shi Yi nodded. “Go to the assembly line and get this batch of ready-made clothes out as soon as possible.”
Qiu Qiu was used to his boss not showing his emotions, but he couldn’t hide the smile on his chubby round face, and retreated quickly.
Shi Yi let out a sigh of relief. No matter Lu Yunye’s purpose for such a large order, it undoubtedly helped Feiyi. He opened WeChat and clicked into the dialog box with Lu Yunye, but he didn’t know what to say.
Express his thanks? Feiyi is now on the boat of Yunye Media, and it is only natural to be taken care of by the parent company. Lu Yunye may not want to hear those high-sounding words.
But if he doesn’t say anything, it will make him seem impolite, as if Feiyi is a big brand.
Shi Yi typed a few lines and then cleared them one by one. Just as the delete cursor finished jumping, Lu Yunye called.
The phone buzzed and vibrated, Shi Yi shook his hand, and it took him a long time to press the answer button.
“Lu Yunye?”
“Go down to the garage.” Lu Yunye’s voice was the same as usual, with no ups and downs.
“What’s wrong?” Shi Yi asked, “It’s working time now.”
Lu Yunye seemed to have paused: “It’s already twelve o’clock.”
Shi Yi glanced at his watch – it turned out that it was lunch time. Even if he didn’t know Lu Yunye’s intentions, he still stood up. “Why the garage?”
“I’m taking you to lunch.” Lu Yunye said.
Shi Yi: ?
They lived together for nearly a month, and have always eaten at their respective companies during working hours. What is Lu Yunye planning?
Shi Yi was full of hesitation, so he went to the garage and saw the black Maybach parked beside the pillar at a glance.
Lu Yunye was half leaning on the door of the driver’s cab, casually playing with the keys. His fingers hooked around the iron ring, making a crisp jingling sound.
Gao Ren wasn’t here, it was Lu Yunye who drove here.
Lu Yunye rarely drives by himself, and only when dealing with personal issues, such as, when sending Shu Wen to the hospital last time.
Shi Yi’s footsteps paused for a moment, trying his best to act normal.
“Where are we going to eat?” Shi Yi held onto the handlebar of the car, but he didn’t open the door.
Lu Yunye didn’t speak, but turned his head and glanced at him. Shi Yi’s stomach felt unwell, and didn’t pay attention.
After both of them got into the car, Lu Yunye said, “You’re not feeling well.”
“It’s okay,” Shi Yi smiled. “I’m just hungry, a little hypoglycemic.”
He doesn’t like troubling others because of his health. Not to mention that Lu Yunye came to him suddenly and might have something important to explain in person.
Lu Yunye suddenly leaned over. The space in the car was already small, and now the two of them were almost face to face. The superior facial features of a top alpha were even more perfect at such a distance.
Shi Yi subconsciously leaned against the car door, surprised by the sudden scrutiny. “Lu…”
“Your seat belt is not fastened.”
With a thud, Lu Yunye stepped over him to buckle up his seat belt, and started the car without saying a word.
Shi Yi thought they were going to attend some social gathering, but he didn’t expect the car to turn left and right and stop at the downstairs of Yunye Media.
Yunye and Feiyi are in the same area, and it takes only ten minutes to walk over. Driving requires a long detour. What is Lu Yunye doing?
This is the first time Shi Yi has come to the building since the accident last time. Sure enough, security was strengthened. The security guards at the gate wore uniforms, and are from the same company as the bodyguards around Lu Yunye.
Lu Yunye drove directly into the basement and escaped to the seventh floor through the dedicated passageway.
Like most commercial buildings, Lu Yunye’s office was built on the middle floor to facilitate communication and coordination with various departments. It’s just that ordinary employees have to swipe their authority cards to press the elevator on the seventh floor. The corridors are empty, in stark contrast to the bustling people downstairs.
“You take this.” Lu Yunye casually gave his card to Shi Yi. The president’s card can lead to any floor of the building. “Use it when you come here later.”
After finishing speaking, he turned sideways and signaled Shi Yi to open the door of his office.
Lu Yunye’s office is very spacious, and there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window when he enters the door. The most low-key solid wood furniture is used, which looks luxurious.
Shi Yi looked at the rich collection of antique books and the separate private lounge. Compared with Yunye Media, calling Feiyi a small workshop is not an exaggeration.
“You wait here, I’ll order food.” Lu Yunye loosened his tie after entering the door, and casually hung his coat on the hanger.
A faint cedar-flavored pheromone lingered in the office, soothing Shi Yi’s aching brain.
Shi Yi sat on the sofa for guests, and clasped his hands without realizing his movements were a little too cautious.
He has been in business for many years and learned some superficial skills and words, but for some reason it doesn’t work when dealing with Lu Yunye. It’s as if the other party can always see through his superficial calmness at a glance, and pull out the fragility and helplessness hidden deep inside.
What Shi Yi didn’t know was that everyone felt the same under Lu Yunye’s eyes. It’s just that after pretending for a long time, it feels uncomfortable to be exposed.
After being around Lu Yunye, Shi Yi, who always seemed outwardly calm and composed, had to admit he was not as skilled as the other party.
Lu Yunye used the insider line to make a private order of light seafood congee, and then canceled the reservation at Orchid Garden1Roughly translated it from 蘭景軒. Wasn’t sure how to add spaces to the phonetic name.
Orchid Garden uses the route of sensationalism, focusing on appearance instead of taste, which Lu Yunye disdains. But their desserts are top-notch, so he wanted to bring Shi Yi over to try them.
No matter how ordinary the restaurant is, it’s better than those made by takeout shops.
But Shi Yi’s current physical condition is obviously not suitable for eating desserts.
Lu Yunye turned around after making the phone call, and saw the omega sitting still on the sofa. He didn’t even play with his phone, waiting there like a primary school student who had done something wrong.
From his tense neck muscles, it can be seen that he is enduring physical discomfort.
Lu Yunye sighed. Shi Yi is so stubborn, no wonder there were such rumors.
He sat across from Shi Yi, stretching his long legs and almost occupied the entire sofa. Shi Yi didn’t respond, his eyes half-closed as if he was about to fall asleep.
This is what Tang Yi saw when she knocked on the door and came in to deliver lunch. Her president was sitting on the sofa slightly sideways, with a thin and weak omega on his lap.
Although it’s weird, the picture was oddly harmonious.
Lu Yunye looked sideways and motioned for her to put the lunch box on the table, and made a silence motion with his finger. Then he got up slowly, picked up omega, and walked lightly to the private lounge.
Lol, the difference between LYY’s words and actions.
