Designs with their own style and highlights are far superior to those that are all the same. Everyone's style is accumulated over the years, but usually, great designers will show their uniqueness from the moment they start designing a piece of clothing, making it very clear that their designs are different from others.
In the subsequent accumulation, it is nothing more than learning how to bring out this uniqueness to the extreme, and deeply develop one's talents and potential. How many people spend their whole lives in search of that moment of inspiration?
"Ah... okay." Fang Xiaoli was deflated after hearing this. She understood what Jiang Jianhuan meant, but that was precisely the most difficult point.
The final result of these drawings is the result of her racking her brains, studying and referencing countless design materials.
Unlike Jiang Jianhuan, who could easily come up with inspiration and whose designs were all unique, novel, and beautiful, she was different.
A sense of powerlessness instantly swept over me, making me wish I could go back to the womb and be reborn.
Fang Xiaoli slumped listlessly on the table, waving her hand weakly.
"I understand, thank you Huan."
Jiang Jianhuan patted her shoulder helplessly, offering words of comfort.
“It’s okay, you’re already great. I’m just holding you to the highest standards.”
"Really..." Fang Xiaoli still couldn't muster any enthusiasm and said to her listlessly.
“But you’ve already reached the highest standard.”
"We started working on the same day..."
“No,” Jiang Jianhuan retorted seriously.
"I still have so much to learn."
"Alright, go ahead and go..." Fang Xiaoli waved her hands repeatedly, looking like she didn't want to see her anymore. Jiang Jianhuan shook her head and returned to her seat.

Su Mo's concert tour is already halfway through. After working non-stop for almost half a month, she finally has a few days to rest.
I had just come out of the karaoke room in the morning when I received a call from Zhou You, asking what time he would arrive. The birthday boy was already getting impatient and eager to get started.
This person started posting countdown messages in the group chat when their birthday was still two weeks away.
The template is like this.
[Zhou You's birthday is in 15 days! Everyone, remember to prepare your gifts and come over on that day~~~]
Jian Ziming sent a nausea emoji, and Tong Xin followed suit, sending a row of identical nausea emojis.
Zhou You was so angry that he repeatedly said he would kick them both out.
Su Mo was rehearsing for the concert at the time. During a break, she glanced at her phone, scrolled through her messages, and before she could reply, the accompanist called her over.
Then Zhou You called him specifically that night to remind him.
Tong Xin teased him, saying she'd never seen a man who loved birthdays so much. Jian Ziming added insult to injury, saying he just wanted to receive gifts.
Zhou You came up with a unique idea this year: she found a high-end club that offered a one-stop service for haircuts and styling. No, scratch that. It was a one-stop service for food, drinks, and entertainment.
It has everything you need: bathhouse, sauna, karaoke, clubbing, dining, and drinking. More importantly, it's a membership-only place. Besides having a certain annual income, you also need connections to become a member, so the privacy is excellent and you don't have to worry about being photographed.
According to Zhou You, he only succeeded in getting things done by risking his reputation and using his father's influence.
Zhou You is a typical spoiled brat, idle and lazy. His family's business is quite well-known in Jiangcheng, but he took on the job of sales manager as if it were just a hobby, which infuriated his father, but he couldn't do anything about it.
After all, compared to his previous reckless investments in bars and even his career as a professional loan shark, he should be grateful to have a decent job at his own company.
As soon as he entered, Zhou You's eyes lit up. Su Mo handed him the things in her hands, and the birthday boy immediately opened them in a great hurry.
"Wow!!!--"
Sure enough, within three seconds, the whole room was filled with his excited shouts.
"Su Mo! You really know me inside and out! Where did you get this?!"
Su Mo gave him a rare jersey with his favorite star's autograph. Zhou You was overjoyed and looked at the jersey over and over again.
"Tsk tsk, look at the workmanship, look at the style, look at the signature!"
Despite the freezing weather, he was even prepared to take off his sweater and put on this jersey.
"No, no, no—" Jian Ziming quickly stopped him from taking off his clothes and pleaded.
"You have other friends coming later, so don't embarrass yourself."
"How dare you talk like that?! I don't like hearing it." Zhou You glared at him, then stopped what she was doing and gave up the idea of changing clothes on the spot.
Zhou You had a wide circle of friends, and he invited several other people besides them, creating a lively atmosphere. Everyone there was a prominent figure, and even when they saw Su Mo, they didn't show much surprise. They just raised an eyebrow in slight astonishment, clinked glasses with him, took a sip of wine, and chatted for a few minutes.
There was only one girl inside whose eyes lit up as soon as she saw him. She made a point of sitting next to him and introducing herself as his fan, saying she especially loved listening to his songs.
Su Mo nodded slightly and thanked her.
The girl was so excited that she wanted to say something more, but Zhou You noticed and immediately shooed her aside.
"Go away, go away. She has a white moonlight living in her heart. Don't cause trouble here."
The girl was Zhou Youyi's childhood friend's younger sister. She knew Su Mo would be coming today and begged her brother to bring her. She was still in high school and, though reluctant, obediently sat down some distance away, blinking at him.
“These young girls nowadays have absolutely no sense of propriety…” Zhou You plopped down next to Su Mo, shaking her head and sighing.
"I saw your Weibo last time, wow, it was unbearable to look at. There were so many people calling you 'husband' in the comments, tsk tsk tsk, Jiang Jianhuan would be furious if he saw that." He had drunk a bit too much, his cheeks were flushed, and he spoke without any restraint. Jian Ziming was about to stop him when he saw Su Dui freeze in his hand as he put down his glass.
"By the way, how have you guys been lately?" The person sitting on the other side was also low in emotional intelligence, always bringing up the most awkward topics. When Bai Qiu heard Zhou You say that, she thought of Jiang Jianhuan and went straight to ask Su Mo.
