Chapter 209

Knowing that Lu Nianzhi had come to assist Rong Dai, Huo Mei Shu didn't mind at all.

After all, she knew it wasn't her area of expertise.

Moreover, Lu Nianzhi was one of the people she admired, so having both of them working together was a great blessing!

Lu Nianzhi was highly efficient in handling the work, and in the afternoon, Rong Dai's two scenes went smoothly.

Huo Mei Shu received a WeChat message from her idol, Gu Chengyan, which made her ecstatic, so she busily attended to her own matters.

Lu Nianzhi summarized and planned Rong Dai's current work, while Rong Dai continued her studies.

The day passed by peacefully and fulfilling.

The next day, Lu Nianzhi had Rong Dai review the detailed guidelines.

Rong Dai carefully looked at the guidelines, especially when she saw that Lu Nianzhi had made a relaxed plan for her studies, she furrowed her brows.

Not only did Lu Nianzhi have exceptional professional abilities, but she was also adept at reading people's expressions.

"If there's anything you're not satisfied with, we can discuss it. I'm here to assist you, and we can communicate and resolve any issues," Lu Nianzhi said.

Rong Dai took a pen and circled two guidelines.

"First, I have a strong ability to learn, and I don't want my studies to be too relaxed. I can handle intense learning tasks," she said.

She wasn't a young girl in her early twenties anymore; she couldn't afford to waste time.

She wanted to study and maintain efficient learning abilities at all times.

However, investing a lot of time in education in this era didn't suit her circumstances.

She was no longer a simple university student.

She was a wife and an entrepreneur.

She could only look up to Huo Shao Ting from her current position.

She didn't want to constantly remain in a posture of looking up to him; she wanted to stand by his side.

Moreover, she wasn't enthusiastic about this campus life.

Competition in any era was fierce.

Today, Jinxiu Lane was already very eye-catching. What she needed to do was treat it as her goal and surpass it.

So she couldn't allocate nearly two-thirds of her time to campus life.

"Second, I don't want to stay in this circle for a long time."

She had only been here for a few months, and the online mobs and keyboard warriors had repeatedly made her realize how terrifying public opinion could be.

Moreover, she disliked the need to constantly protect her privacy and the exposure of her private life to the public eye.

"Other than that, I have no issues. My focus is not on my studies but on developing my career," Rong Dai expressed her thoughts clearly without any reservations.

Lu Nianzhi nodded, made notes, and then looked at her attentively as she analyzed her words.

"I allocated time for your studies considering your learning capabilities. Since you don't have any issues, once I finalize the guidelines for your studies, we can proceed with the plan."

"But entering the entertainment industry, if you don't want to rely on the Huo Corporation and solely rely on your own abilities, your career won't have enough exposure. At least for the next ten years, you won't be able to catch up with the brilliance of Jinxiu Square."

She stared sharply at Rong Dai.

In Rong Dai, she saw her former self.

So determined, with such a clear goal.

"Entering the showbiz industry doesn't necessarily mean that you have to take on acting roles. It means maintaining a certain level of popularity, an appropriate level of fame that can increase the exposure of your work."

"Jinxiu Square is currently the giant in this domestic market. If you don't have any capital to your name, even if you have the talent, without the backing of the Huo Corporation, you won't be able to secure resources that can match Jinxiu Square."

At this point, Lu Nianzhi paused, looking deeply into Rong Dai's eyes.

"Of course, this is just my personal advice. In the long run, your current status itself is a form of popularity, but fame doesn't last forever. Once the public accepts this fact, the halos surrounding you will fade away."

"Jinxiu Square's ability to stand tall domestically and internationally is not unrelated to their business philosophy."

"Mrs. Huo, your ideas are good, but you don't really understand this industry." f𝐫𝗲eweb𝗻o𝐯el.𝚌o𝗺

"If you want to surpass Jinxiu Square, apart from having excellent works, resources are crucial."

Deep down, Lu Nianzhi actually admired Rong Dai's ideas.

However, this era is fast-paced and efficient, and Rong Dai's ideas, while good, are not applicable.

"Popularity, works, and sales are what determine whether your future career can reach new heights. Jinxiu Square has achieved such dazzling results because you don't know about their development history. Before Master Shi Yue, her mother was an embroiderer who worked in the imperial palace."

"Having excellent works, pure handcrafted custom designs that are truly one-of-a-kind. Although they are highly acclaimed in the industry, the sales are too low, and the efficiency of producing the works is too slow. These are all influencing factors."

Rong Dai listened attentively as Lu Nianzhi analyzed these issues, and her heart sank a little.

She hadn't considered this aspect.

She wanted her works to be presented perfectly, and even to accommodate some more niche groups.

But she overlooked a factor, which is the speed of production and cost issues.

"Before taking on this job, I conducted research. There are not many truly outstanding embroiderers in China and abroad, even for a high-end brand like Jinxiu Square, they only have twenty top embroiderers in-house."

"Your ideas are good, but you're neglecting social factors, so your vision of high-cost, purely handcrafted production for the entire collection is impossible."

Lu Nianzhi's words left Rong Dai silent, realizing that achieving her dream wasn't something that could be done through wishful thinking.

"Rong Dai, you need to understand that even at the level of Jinxiu Square, they don't dare to have such a vision. You have to consider the social factors, and I will assist you in your work."

"First of all, it's indeed because of General Huo. I owe him a favor. Second, I appreciate your ideas and see ambition in you, so I want to give it a try."

"Between you and me, it's a mutual accomplishment. If you treat this as a career, the chances of your vision succeeding are almost zero. But if you simply manage it as a hobby, the success rate is one hundred percent."

Lu Nianzhi spoke very seriously.

She had heard General Huo Shao Ting's explanation, so she was really looking forward to meeting Rong Dai at that time.

However, after this communication, she found that Rong Dai did indeed have ambition, but her considerations were not realistic enough.

"You can take some time to think about what I said. If you only want to pursue design as a hobby, then your ideas are fine."

"But if you want to make it a career and develop towards Jinxiu Lane, it's almost futile. Even if you have Huo Enterprises behind you and your abilities are strong, you can't guarantee that everyone else has the same level of ability. An individual's capabilities are limited, so don't neglect the factors of reality."
