Transmigrated into a Parvenu's Ex-wife in the '90s

Chapter 126 - Shu Yan received a call from someone unexpected.

The weather started to get cold and the two children had changed into their new uniforms and went to school with light down jackets on top and little boots with the chauffeur.

It was a good school. Ever since the two children had transferred over to Nanshan, the way they acted and talked had changed a lot. Even Shu Yan thought about signing up for some etiquette classes sometime.

Shu Yan didn't have to leave as early as the children. Ever since she hired Aunty, she hadn't been getting up as early. She would get up to have breakfast with the children before getting ready to head into work after they had left for school.

When winter came, the fall undergarments and winter sleepwear were particularly popular. Even though their company had, by now, rented the entire building, they were still short-handed.

Shu Yan was planning for the next promotional activity. She needed to have the franchisees sent the money over by the end of the month. They weren't short money but nobody would complain that they had too much money.

"C'mon in," said Shu Yan when she heard the knocking on her office door. She looked up and saw Xia Rou walking in carrying a stack of documents in a white suit and her hair tied up behind her.

"What is it?" Xia Rou was now the top designer of the company. She wasn't management but she was pretty much one.

She had received a few design drafts that had potentials and wanted to show them to Shu Yan.

The design drafts weren't bad but they were instantly eye-catching either. Returning the drafts back to Xia Rou, Shu Yan asked, "These are from our interns?"

Xia Rou sighed inwardly when she didn't see the satisfied look on Shu Yan. Their boss never studied designs formally but she sure had good eyes and was always spot on when it came to the latest trend.

"No. They were recommended to me by my teacher. There are four of them but I think these three are the better ones," replied Xia Rou honestly.

Neither one of their two bosses were easy to muddle through so it was best for her just to be honest.

"You should know that our company's plan is to bring our women's clothing onto the international stage. Our bar is set very high. These individuals might have potentials but they might not meet our needs." Shu Yan did not make the exception for Xia Rou even though she was their top designer.

Besides, they couldn't start going down this path. Yes, one should be objective when it came to true talents. "Talent" being the keyword. Had these people even be half as talented as Xia Rou, she would take them.

Xia Rou's heart tightened a little. "I get it."

She had crossed the line this time. Their company had always focused on one's ability. That was why she liked the company so much. They were fairer than most other companies. And now she was the one who tried to bend the rules.

Seeing that Xia Rou had gotten her meaning, Shu Yan smiled and said, "If you find anyone from your school that is truly talented and has potential, do recommend them. The more the merrier."

They didn't need mediocre. Their bar would only become higher and higher as time went on. Talented ones like Xia Rou were rare.

Shu Yan had promised Feng Zeyu that she would have dinner would him tonight. She left early after giving Hu Ruixue a heads up.

Aunty was cleaning around the house when Shu Yan went home. She was surprised when she saw Shu Yan. "Oh, I didn't know that you will be home earlier. I don't have lunch ready."

Now that the children were having lunch at school and Shu Yan, too, felt that it was a hassle to go home so she would usually have lunch at work. Aunty would usually have leftover congee from breakfast or buns or dumplings for lunch.
