Chapter 230 I Don’t Want an Apprentice Who Can Be My Father
Of course, the furniture designed by Minister Wu and Sun Tian is also placed in this warehouse.
And by coincidence, it was placed right next to the bunk bed.
Even though Sun Tian tried to block it with his body, Shen Anan still saw some furniture nearby.
The reason why Shen Anan could tell at a glance that this was the work of the design department.
Because there were notes on those pieces of furniture that said "Exhibits from the First Furniture Factory, please handle with care."
Shen Anan took two steps closer and carefully looked at the furniture in front of her.
The design department's exhibits this time are a pair of bedside tables, a wardrobe, and a washbasin rack.
These things are really gorgeous, apart from anything else.
Even the washbasin stand is covered with carvings, all in relief.
Shen Anan estimated that just these few things would take the master craftsmen of the furniture factory several months of effort.
And the wood is also a good material.
As for other innovations, there are none.
Shen Anan shook her head. No wonder the exhibits from the First Furniture Factory didn't get a good ranking.
Minister Wu and his team focused their design entirely on appearance, while ignoring practicality.
Especially people of this era are still pragmatic.
What people buy is furniture, not art.
Although such a complicated design is exquisite, it requires a lot of work hours, so the price cannot be lowered.
Moreover, such a complicated process is doomed to be unable to be mass-produced. There is really no need to promote furniture that can only produce a few pieces a year.
In this day and age, food and drink have become a problem, and almost every family is penniless. Who would spend a lot of money just to buy a few pieces of furniture?
When Minister Wu saw Shen Anan shaking her head, his face suddenly turned red.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Shen Anan's design was much better than his.
But Shen Anan shook her head after seeing the furniture he designed, which still made him blush.
Although he was a little surprised, Minister Wu looked at Shen Anan with shining eyes.
"Designer Shen, please accept me as your apprentice!"
"When I get back, I'll tell the factory manager that you can be the head of our design department, and I'll be your apprentice!"
Shen Anan turned around in surprise, only to see Minister Wu's eyes full of curiosity.
"Minister Wu, you're really too polite. I just figured it out on my own."
"Minister, you..." Sun Tian's eyes almost popped out.
What the hell did he hear?
How come the minister's attitude changed completely in just a moment?
If Shen Anan really becomes the director of the design department, will he have a good life?
Sun Tian felt regretful. Why did he offend Shen Anan before?
No, it seemed that it was Minister Wu who hinted to him to make things difficult for Shen Anan.
Now that Minister Wu has changed his attitude, doesn't he become a nobody?
No one cared about Sun Tian's collapse. Minister Wu was now completely immersed in excitement.
Although he was a latecomer to design, he really wanted to use the furniture he designed to take the First Furniture Factory to a higher level.
However, for some reason, his designs, which he was relatively satisfied with, were often rejected at furniture exhibitions.
He didn't know how to change, as if he was stuck in a dead end.
This time, Deputy Director Zhao said that he would use the furniture designed by Shen Anan in the exhibition.
He thought that Deputy Director Zhao was just fooling around and didn't take the future of the First Furniture Factory seriously.
Unexpectedly, Shen Anan's design was so exquisite.
It turns out that furniture can be designed like this!
If Shen Anan really becomes the director of the design department, the First Furniture Factory will definitely be able to move to a higher level.
Minister Wu saw that Shen Anan kept refusing, so he strode forward and bowed ninety degrees.
"Designer Shen, I was wrong before, please forgive me!"
"The First Furniture Factory needs you!"
"Minister Wu, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Shen Anan hurriedly tried to help the man up, but Minister Wu bent his waist even lower.
Shen Anan quickly winked at Secretary Li, who was stunned beside her, and the two of them worked together to help Minister Wu up.
Secretary Li smacked his lips. He didn't expect that Old Wu had such a submissive side.
The sun is really coming out in the west.
Shen Anan has no interest in the position of director of the design department. She has to go back to Wanyang Brigade and cannot stay in the county alone.
She had previously agreed with Deputy Director Zhao that she would be a specially hired designer who would not have to work in the office and would only need to produce two design drawings every quarter.
Of course, in this case, the salary she was offered was not high.
However, Deputy Director Zhao also said that if the furniture she designed sold well, there would be additional bonuses.
Besides, she really didn't want an apprentice like Minister Wu who could be her father.
Shen Anan waved her hands frantically, but Minister Wu refused to give in.
Finally, Shen Anan agreed to give Minister Wu some suggestions on their design, which appeased Minister Wu.
"Designer Shen, the position of head of the furniture factory's design department will always be reserved for you. You can take up the position at any time as long as you want!" Minister Wu said with a look of regret on his face, unwilling to give up.
"No, really." Shen Anan refused Sanlian.
"By the way, Designer Shen, you have also looked at this furniture. What exactly is the method you mentioned?" In the end, it was Director Zhu on the side who broke the awkward atmosphere.
"You can just call me An An, or Xiao Shen, either is fine."
"Designer Shen's name is too polite."
"Okay, Xiao Shen, what is your solution? Tell us quickly." Director Zhu looked anxious.
The exhibition will start in two days, and they don't have much time.
Shen Anan curled the corners of her mouth and explained her method.
"Will this method work?" Director Zhu asked hesitantly.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Shen Anan, it’s just that no one has ever set up an exhibition like this before.
Shen Anan spread her hands and said, "Anyway, I can only say that I think it can be done."
"But whether or not to use it depends on everyone."
After a moment, Secretary Li gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"I believe Xiao Shen, I think we can give it a try."
"I brought some money with me this time. If it's not enough, let's all pool our money together and we'll reimburse you when we get back."
Minister Wu then cast his vote in favor, and Shen Anan's status in his heart now skyrocketed.
"I also think Xiao Shen's method is good, Director Zhu, let's give it a try!"
"With these two pieces of furniture designed by Xiao Shen, they will definitely attract a lot of people."
"Yes, yes." Sun Tian was glared at by Minister Wu and quickly responded.
Director Zhu pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Okay, let's give it a try! Let's fight!"
"Secretary Li, time is tight, let's go shopping now."
"Okay, I'll go back to the guesthouse to get the money. I'm sure I won't have enough tickets."
"It's okay, I still have some with me, I'll go back and get it too."
"Okay, let's go now."
