I sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of my studio, gazing at the bustling cityscape outside, filled with anticipation and excitement. Utilizing the resources of the original owner's family and my expertise in design, I had finally established my own personal studio. This was my first step toward success and the key to making my mark in this unfamiliar world.
Though small, the studio was well-equipped. In the bright space, several minimalist modern worktables were neatly arranged, and the walls were adorned with creative design sketches. I took a deep breath and began to assemble my team.
"Hello, is this Li Ming? This is Su Wan. I remember you had a great talent for design back in school. Would you be interested in joining my studio?" I picked up the phone and started reaching out to former classmates and industry friends. A strong team is the cornerstone of success.
Before long, a vibrant young team was formed. We gathered together to discuss the concept for our first collection, Work.
"The theme this time is 'Urban Jungle.' We want to incorporate the lifestyle of modern city dwellers into our clothing designs," I said passionately as I stood in front of the whiteboard, excitedly sharing my ideas.
Just then, a wave of dizziness suddenly washed over me. I knew this was a sign that my Golden Finger was at work. Closing my eyes, I allowed inspiration to flood into my mind like a tidal wave.
When I opened my eyes again, a series of stunning designs had already taken shape in my mind. I quickly grabbed a pen and began to translate these ideas onto paper. The team members gathered around me, their eyes sparkling with awe.
"Sister Su, this is amazing!" Xiao Li exclaimed. "This design that merges urban elements with nature is simply genius!"
I smiled and nodded, but there was a hint of bitterness in my heart. While this talent was certainly enviable, the accompanying side effects also worried me. I silently reminded myself to use this ability cautiously.
After relentless efforts day and night, our hard work finally paid off. When our Work collection was launched, it immediately created a sensation in the fashion world. Major fashion media outlets reported on it extensively, showering us with praise.
"Emerging Designer Su Wan bursts onto the scene; her Work perfectly blends urban and natural elements, showcasing a unique design philosophy."
As I looked at the overwhelming accolades, I felt a sense of accomplishment swell within me. But I knew this was just the beginning. To further enhance my visibility, I decided to participate in a small design competition.
On the day of the competition, I stood on stage, confidently showcasing my work. The judges in the audience sparkled with surprise in their eyes.
"Congratulations, Miss Su Wan! Your work 'Urban Jungle' has won the championship of this competition!"
The applause thundered, and the flashes of cameras went off in succession. Standing under the spotlight, I felt the joy that success brings. This championship was not only a recognition of my talent but also a crucial step in establishing my foothold in the fashion industry.
As my popularity grew, invitations for commercial collaborations came pouring in. My studio began receiving various orders, and business was booming.
However, amidst the busy work schedule, I did not forget Liu Rumeng. I observed her outfits from a distance and occasionally offered her small suggestions.
"Rumeng, this dress color suits you very well, but it would look even better paired with these shoes," I said with a smile.
Liu Rumeng looked at me in surprise, her hostility gradually fading. "Thank you, I'll give it a try," she hesitated for a moment but accepted my suggestion.
I also encouraged her to develop her interests. "Rumeng, I heard you really enjoy painting. Would you be interested in learning illustration design? Who knows, we might collaborate in the future."
Seeing the spark reignite in Liu Rumeng's eyes brought me quiet satisfaction. Although Gu Han still cared for her deeply, I no longer minded. All my energy was focused on my career as I reveled in the joy of success.
Sitting in my office, I began to contemplate how to merge my design philosophy with commercial operations to create my own brand. The road ahead was long, but I could already see the glimmer of hope.
I picked up a pen and wrote down the name "SUWAN" on paper. This would be the name of my future brand and the beginning of leaving my mark on this world.
Outside the window, night fell, and the city’s neon lights lit up one by one. I stood up and gazed at this bustling Urban Jungle, a confident smile curling at the corners of my mouth. I knew that my era had just begun.
