Rebirth: Back to 1993 as the richest man

Chapter 490 Donner's Invitation

Starlight Magazine was ordered to rectify.

Just two days later.

An apology statement written by Dai Weimin himself was published in major newspapers.

Starlight Magazine admitted that there were false reports about the exposure of the Sichuan Province Fashion Design Competition, because a trainee editor of the magazine was not strict in reviewing the content, and has already been expelled. I sincerely apologize and hope to get Liu Na's forgiveness.

In addition, in addition to throwing the blame on the trainee editor, Dai Weimin also pointed the finger at Li Yuanpeng for this matter.

After all, the person who signed the report was Li Yuanpeng himself.

But today's Li Yuanpeng can be said to be bullied by dogs in Pingyang. Without Qicheng Clothing Company to rely on, even Dai Weimin doesn't take him seriously at all.

As the saying goes, everyone pushes the wall down.

All of a sudden, all kinds of negative news about Li Yuanpeng in the industry broke out on various third-rate media.

Such as suspected plagiarism of design works, use of power to harass female employees and so on.

There are even many reports that have no evidence at all and are deliberately discredited.

Li Yuanpeng's reputation was completely ruined, not only in these media reports, but also his only position in the industry was completely over.

In two days, Li Yuanpeng made countless phone calls and visited several clothing companies.

But he never expected that these small companies that he didn't even look up to on weekdays would turn him away one by one at this moment.

In other words, Li Yuanpeng is now notorious in the industry.

……

And just as the storm passed quickly.

An uninvited guest found Liu Na.

It's still the same coffee shop.

Liu Na looked at the blonde foreign woman in front of her, but couldn't tell at all that this fashionable woman was 48 years old.

Donna Karen's body revealed a mature woman's style everywhere. Sitting in front of Liu Na at the moment, she was also looking at this Chinese woman with long black hair.

"You're beautiful, much prettier than you look on TV."

Tang Na smiled at Liu Na.

"You speak Chinese very well, Miss Downer."

Liu Na glanced at Tang Nadao in surprise.

"I am very interested in Chinese culture. I had many Chinese customers in the United States before, so I learned Chinese on purpose."

Wearing a wine-red women's suit, she exudes the sophistication and style of a mature woman in the workplace.

It can be seen that although Donna has inherited the skin of a Caucasian, the fine lines at the corners of the eyes still show that this woman has experienced years of polishing.

"Miss Downer said on the phone that she wanted to discuss something with me. I don't know what it is?"

After some polite words, Liu Na still couldn't help asking out her inner doubts.

Although I don't know how Tang Na got the contact information of Ma Xiaolian's family, let alone why this famous international fashion designer suddenly asked me to meet.

But after learning that the other party was Donna Karen, Liu Na still agreed.

After all, it is a rare opportunity to meet such a well-known designer in the industry.

"To be honest, I've seen Miss Liu Na's work."

Tang Na picked up the coffee, stirred it with a spoon, then looked up at Liu Na and said.

"You mean the works in the costume design competition?"

Liu Na was slightly taken aback, but she didn't expect that a senior in the industry like Donna Karen would pay attention to her.

But thinking about what Qi Yu said, Liu Na calmed down a bit.

Thinking about it, it should be Qi Yu who recommended him to Tang Na, so it is not surprising that the other party has seen his works.

"I'm a newcomer in the design industry, and I haven't studied in any orthodox prestigious school. Those works are not worth mentioning in front of you."

Liu Na smiled lightly.

What she said is not only the humility in the bones of the Huaxia people, but also the self-knowledge of her own strength.

But upon hearing Liu Na's words, Tang Na shook his head.

"Actually, I have met many young designers in the West, and some are even apprentices, but their attitudes are much more confident than Ms. Liu Na."

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, under Liu Na's puzzled gaze, Tang Na took out a few photos from his handbag.

"This is... my design work!"

When Liu Na saw these photos from the fashion contest, she was also taken aback.

"Your works are very spiritual and have elements that really come from life. This is what I want to find when I come to Huaxia this time."

Tang Na glanced at Liu Na, then smiled and said:

"I know your life experience, you don't have much education, and your background is not good, but what I want to tell you is that as a designer, our creation is definitely not just based on these things."

"To be honest, the first time I saw you, I knew that I was right this time. You have the same things about me when I was young."

At this moment, in the booth of the coffee shop, upon hearing what Tang Na said, the expression on Liu Na's face was quite complicated.

"Miss Downer is saying that I look a lot like you when you were young?"

Liu Na asked a little puzzled.

When Tang Na said this, he must have paid attention to the news about Liu Na in the past few days.

Tang Na nodded, with some memories in his eyes: "My biological father was a tailor, but unfortunately he had already gone to heaven when I was three years old, and later my mother married a clothing dealer , but my life is not as easy as outsiders think."

His eyes fell on Liu Na, and he glanced at the simple and plain clothes on Liu Na. Tang Na continued: "I worked as a salesperson in a clothing store when I was 14 years old. After high school, I started to work as a fashion model part-time. Parsons School of Fashion Design in the United States, but I only went to school for one year and decided to drop out."

"drop out?

Miss Downer, why did you do this? "

Liu Na asked in surprise.

Parsons School of Fashion Design, not only in the United States, but also in the entire West can be regarded as the top school in the fashion industry, and the fashion design major is naturally the trump card major.

Currently, at least [-]% of well-known domestic designers have studied at Parsons College.

It can be said that after being admitted to such a top university, one is already a first-class designer after graduation.

However, Donna actually dropped out of school?

This is very puzzling to Liu Na, who once regretted dropping out of school.

Facing Liu Na's puzzlement, Tang Na just smiled and explained: "Anneklein, do you know?

In your Chinese, it is Anne Klein, which is a top international fashion design company. "

"Anne Klein?

Of course I know! "

Liu Na said in surprise, this clothing company is known as the representative brand of American fashion style. It started out as a sports and leisure wear, and then its clothing brand quickly gained international popularity in just ten years. .

"When I was a sophomore, I worked part-time at Annie's clothing company, but I was fired by them after only two months."

Donna recalled with a calm face.

On the other hand, Liu Na was quite surprised when she heard this.

Can someone like Donna Karen be fired?

Even if it was only when she was young, it was not easy for Downer to be admitted to Parsons College.

"I was very unconvinced. In my opinion, what I learned in Parsons College was not enough to make me a top fashion designer, so I chose to drop out at that time. I wanted to prove it to everyone. I wanted to Back to Anne Klein."

It was only at this point that Tang Na's mood fluctuated slightly.

"One and a half years later, when my classmates were still worrying about their graduation design, I had been elected as the best designer of the American Fashion Design Association, and I returned to Anne Klein and became the Miss Laing's successor."

Having said that, Tang Na looked at Liu Na and continued:

"do you know?

The classmates who were in the same school as me are now just designers in my subsidiary company. Even now, I don't regret dropping out of school at all, at least... the days with Miss Klein, she Let me learn more and make me a top fashion designer. "

In the quiet coffee shop, what Tang Na said seemed to hit the depths of Liu Na's soul.

She also finally understood why the name Donna Karen was so remarkable.

How can someone with such a life experience be so simple.

Especially after hearing the story of Donna resolutely dropping out of Parsons College, proving himself, and returning to Anne Klein.

In Liu Na's heart, it seemed that something had been ignited.

"You have the aptitude to be a top designer. I can see that although your design works are rough and even show signs of a layman, it is undeniable that you have a pair of eyes to discover beauty. The famous sculptor Rodin I once said that there is no lack of beauty in life, but the lack of eyes to discover beauty, and having these eyes is a necessary condition for becoming a top fashion designer."

When Tang Na said these words, Liu Na was greatly moved.

She also knew that her so-called design works were not worth mentioning in the eyes of everyone like Donna Karen.

But even so, Donna Karen can already read Liu Na's heart from these works.

"This is my contact information and company address. If there is a chance, I hope you can come to my company to study...Of course, it's just a job besides studying."

Tang An Karen handed a business card to Liu Na, and after speaking, she picked up her handbag and prepared to leave.

"Miss Downer!"

Liu Na hurriedly stopped the other party, raised her head and asked:

"May I ask, is the reason why you value me because of Chairman Qi's recommendation, or simply because of my works?"

Looking straight at Donna Karen, Liu Na's eyes showed a bit of complexity.

Until now, she still can't believe that she can have such a high evaluation in Donna Karen's eyes.

Even, the other party gave me a chance to study in her company.

But if such an opportunity was only because of Qi Yu's help, Liu Na would still refuse without hesitation.

Looking at Liu Na, Tang Na thought for a moment, and it seemed that he remembered who Liu Na was referring to as President Qi.

"You mean Tony?

That guy knew me in the United States before, but he didn't know him very well. Although he recommended you to me, it didn't really help you. "

Tang Na shrugged and reminded: "By the way, I didn't come to you because of your works. In fact, after seeing you today, I only wanted you to join me." The team's idea, you should seriously consider it."

After speaking, Tang Na put on his sunglasses, and Dang even walked out of the coffee shop.

"Is that right?"

After Tang Na left, Liu Na, who was sitting in the coffee shop, suddenly showed a relaxed smile on her solemn face.
