Chapter 267 Accompanying the Army? Can it be done like this?

She shared this opportunity to publicly recruit design assistants, which was something she had discussed with the school beforehand.

At first, the school was a bit hesitant, since there was no precedent for this.

Although some students did have part-time jobs before, they were all semi-underground, and the content of the part-time jobs was not necessarily related to their major.

Recruiting assistants publicly on the school's platform is really too ahead of its time.

However, Ye Wenxi persuaded the school from multiple angles.

She didn't play the emotional card or rely on relationships; instead, she analyzed the situation from the perspective of trends and needs, taking a position that was beneficial to both the school and the students.

"Art academies will eventually have to adapt to the market's demand for talent. Now that economic reform policies have been introduced, there will be more and more private enterprises like mine in the future."

"The market demand for talent in fashion design will gradually increase."

"Perhaps in the future, we will need to establish more majors and train personnel in this field."

"As for compliance, the school doesn't need to worry. After all, with our military-civilian joint venture qualifications, do you school leaders not trust me?"

Fashion design is a major that many art colleges and comprehensive universities will offer in the future, so the direction is definitely not a problem.

Ye Wenxi wanted to take the lead and use the school's platform to develop talents that suited his needs, which was somewhat similar to the future integration of enterprises and schools and customized talent development.

At the school level, Vice Dean Wang Mingyuan, who is in charge of teaching and academic work, strongly supports this direction.

However, another vice dean in charge of administration was worried that if this loophole was opened for students, it would be difficult to manage them in the future.

The two sides are deadlocked.

But Ye Wenxi will not give up easily.

Design assistants are not like skilled workers; it's almost impossible to find someone with a professional background to fill the role in a military compound.

Now that the clothing company is gradually getting on track, she has limited energy and no assistant, so she will soon be unable to keep up with the design of new products.

Ye Wenxi had no choice but to try a combination of persuasion and coercion.

She remarked, "The school wants to share practical experiences, but it refuses to provide opportunities for them to be put into practice. Doesn't that just turn into empty talk?"

This statement was a game-changer, and with Professor Wang Mingyuan's help, the school finally relented and agreed.

Ye Wenxi took a bus and walked for half an hour before arriving at school.

At the school gate, Wang Mingyuan and two teachers were waiting early. Seeing her from afar, they quickly approached.

"Comrade Ye, you've worked hard."

"Dean Wang, why did you come in person?"

"Of course," he said with a smile, leading her inside.

Ye Wenxi paused for a moment as she pushed open the door to the lecture hall.

The classroom, which could hold three hundred people, was packed to capacity. Students were standing in the aisles and on both sides of the podium, and all eyes were fixed on Ye Wenxi.

Suddenly, applause erupted, surging like a tidal wave, shaking the entire classroom.

"My God..." Ye Wenxi exclaimed inwardly, a light sweat breaking out on her back.

Wang Mingyuan walked onto the podium and raised his hand to signal the applause to stop.

"It is an honor to have Ms. Ye Wenxi, the design consultant of the Municipal Light Industry Bureau, the founder of Wenxi Garment Co., Ltd., a joint venture between military and civilian enterprises, and a future alumna of our Provincial Academy of Fine Arts."

He paused, then turned to look at her:

Today, she'll be discussing "The Visual Rules of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods Packaging: Makes Your Words Remember at a Glance."

"Let's give them a round of applause."

Applause erupted once again, filling the entire classroom with a buzzing sound.

Ye Wenxi took off her coat offstage, revealing a black and white business suit. She composed herself and walked steadily onto the stage.

People in the audience whispered among themselves, their eyes falling on her as they discussed her outfit.

She stood still and waited for the applause to gradually subside before speaking.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ye Wenxi. I am honored to have the opportunity to sit with you all and share some of my thoughts."

She paused, then smiled.

"To be honest, in terms of professional skills and drawing ability, I am not as good as many of you here."

Some people in the audience laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed.

"What I'm going to talk about today isn't any profound theory, just some little tricks that I've figured out myself."

"Calling it a 'rule' is just a way to attract attention; it's just a title."

She took a step forward, getting closer to the audience.

"Actually, the same applies to product cover and packaging design. Ultimately, it's about finding ways to make customers take a second look and get them to reach out."

"Just like selling something, the goal is to make people want to buy it."

She smiled, her tone relaxed:

"Coincidentally, the market feedback on these ideas has been quite good, so I'm sharing them with you today."

Ye Wenxi worked almost non-stop for two hours.

She approached the topic from the perspective of a self-taught learner, analyzing it entirely from the user's point of view.

I figured it out bit by bit by working backward from the moment the customer takes out their money.

Her method of narration is not to deduce from the theory, but to do the opposite.

First, figure out what you want to say, then work backward to find support and evidence for each point you make.

The initial whispers among the audience gradually quieted down, until only the rustling of notebooks could be heard.

After the sharing session, we will move on to the interactive session.

The students kept throwing questions at him, but Ye Wenxi answered them steadily.

She answered honestly and thoroughly.

She had some tricks up her sleeve, and she admitted with a smile: "I really haven't figured that out yet."

When it came to sensitive topics, she simply said: "I'm still figuring this out myself, so I won't embarrass myself by showing off today."

Don't put on airs, and don't reveal your true intentions.

Just the right amount of sincerity, and the ability to temper one's sharpness.

After the event, the impression she left on people was not that she was "very amazing", but rather that she was a down-to-earth person and that you could learn something from her.

The interactive session dragged on. Ye Wenxi glanced at Wang Mingyuan, giving him a pleading look.

Wang Mingyuan walked onto the stage with a smile and raised his hand to compose the audience.

"Everyone, don't rush, we have more good news to share today."

The audience quieted down a bit.

"Wenxi Garment Company has reached a cooperation agreement with our school to establish a practice base."

The term was suggested by Ye Wenxi; "practice base" sounds more respectable than "recruiting assistants."

As soon as he finished speaking, a buzz of discussion arose from the audience.

Ye Wenxi took over the conversation and explained the situation: the nature of the company, its compliance with policy guidelines, its current staffing needs, and the selection criteria.

"If you are interested, you can send me your work, resume, and ideas, following the three points on the blackboard."

She paused, then smiled:

"Of course, I can pay it next time I come."

"However—" she deliberately dragged out the word, "the spots might be gone by then."

Some people in the audience were curious and stood up, raising their hands.

"Professor Ye, why did you set up your practice base and venue over at the military region?"

Ye Wenxi glanced at him and smiled.

"Because I am a military dependent, my wife works in the 39th Military Region."

"ah?!"

The crowd erupted instantly.

She actually got married.

Moreover, he is a military dependent.

At that moment, the hearts of all the boys and girls present were touched.

Military escort? Is it possible to be escorted like this?
