Later facts proved that not only the team of designers led by Daniel, but also members of the company's committee responsible for evaluating newly designed clothing styles, were not interested in Ai Fei's design!

Vince called Ai Fei to his office again before getting off work: "Mr. Ike, please sit down."

“…………”

"It's like that. I'm sorry that your first design was not approved on the selection committee, but it can be seen from your design that you are quite advanced in the design philosophy of men's clothing. I hope you can keep this."

"Yes, sir. I will remember your words."

"Your design is a bit too surprising in the eyes of many people! I think this feeling can gain customer recognition in the market, I still think it is an unknown. The company... Please forgive me. Sometimes I have to give up my favorable impression of something new and everything is based on the interests of the company. Can you understand what I mean?"

"Yes, sir, I fully understand. The design failure to pass once will not cause any trouble to my working condition. I will re-improve my design as required by the company in order to achieve the approval of the committee."

"It's great." Vince poured himself a glass of wine: "Mr. Ike, I have some friends, friends for many years, and of course, they are also doing the same job as me, or rather, they are working for some upper class ladies. Do you understand?"

Ai Fei shook his head honestly: "I'm sorry, I don't understand."

“…Well, I’ll make things as simple as possible. Many of my friends love the outfits you’ve launched during Valentine’s Day and they hope to get your consent to launch your products in the market.”

This time Ai Fei understood: "That is, your friend wants to buy my design drawings?"

"Yes. That's what it means. If you want, can you meet my friends? They are also very interested in a designer from Asia like you!"

Ai Fei thought for a while: "Mr. Vince, I don't want to reject you, but I don't recognize it. Many people are willing to pay for the design drawings that cost at least US$800. Do you really think your friends...?"

"Yes, I can assure you that such a price is acceptable to them."

"If that's the case, then...well. I can meet your friends and discuss specific cooperation matters."

"Great!" Vince stood up: "Just tonight, do you have time?"

"Tonight? I'll prepare the drawings. If possible, give me a few more days, is it OK?"

It was hard for Vince to force him again when he spoke like this. He had to nodded: "Okay, in three days, is it OK? In three days, please bring your design drawings to the company."

Hearing this, Ai Fei was almost certain that Mr. Vince’s friend was himself! In this way, his purpose was to make some money with his own design? Well, he didn’t understand whether this practice was illegal, but it must have been carried out without hiding it from Ms. Chanel, right? OK! Let’s see what price you can offer me?

Three days later, during the break of get off work, in Mr. Vince's office, Ai Fei stacked the drawings one by one, placed them neatly on Mr. Vince's desk, with his hands behind his back, and looked at Mr. Vince and another old man with silver hair carefully. Listening to Mr. Vince's introduction, this man was William Senna, the owner of a boutique house called Senna near the wealthy area of ​​Long Island, New York. His job was to customize clothes for the ladies living in the wealthy area of ​​Long Island. Of course, he didn't care about such an introduction, no matter what you do? I just need to make your money!

The two of them looked at each other carefully for a long time, and they picked up almost every drawing and looked at it one by one. Yes, it was indeed the style of clothing that I saw at Lizi Hotel that night. This cannot be hidden from the expert Vince: "Very good! Mr. Ike, seeing this design, I have a deeper understanding of your talent. I have to say that you have indeed done something that many people want to do but have not done."

"You are so kind, Mr. Vince."

"So, what about the specific price? Or according to what you said, the price of 800 US dollars per ticket?"

"Mr. Vince, I think you may have misunderstood. What I said is that the lowest price for each piece is $800. The actual price I want is marked under each drawing. The approximate total is $127,000."

The two old men were shocked: "What? Why are there so many?" They looked down at the drawings. Sure enough, they only paid attention to the content of the drawings, and did not pay attention to the fact that different numbers were marked under the drawings. After searching for a while, they found that the price of each picture was around 1,200 US dollars.

Vince's face immediately changed: "Mr. Ike, I'm very disappointed! You are like this..."

Ai Fei didn't say anything, and walked straight over and wanted to pack up the information on the table: "I'm very happy to have a commercial cooperation with you. Although our cooperation was not finally reached, but..."

"Please wait!" This time it was the old man named Senna who spoke: "Mr. Ike, can you leave some time for me and Mr. Vince? We want to talk alone."

"Of course. Of course." Ai Fei put the information away, put it on the table, and walked out of the office.

A few minutes later, the office door opened again and Ai Fei walked in: "Mr. Vince, Mr. Senna, do you think my offer is acceptable?"

Vince's eyes shot out fierce light, staring at him for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, just follow your offer. $127,000. However, this money includes the remaining ones, and you have not yet brought us the cost of the men's clothing design drawings."

Ai Fei was secretly happy, and he didn't dare to force the other party too much. He nodded: "Trade! I will send you the remaining drawings tomorrow."

After cashing the check from the bank, carrying a box of banknotes, Ai Fei returned home, put the money in bed, and began to ponder: It seems that the work at Chanel Company can only be done here, right? The transaction of drawings was a private agreement between him and Mr. Vince, so he didn't have to worry about him using this to make things difficult for him, but the atmosphere of Chanel Company was not the kind he liked. Not to mention anything else, it was just that there was no relationship or tacit understanding between colleagues, so people couldn't find any missing points! Perhaps it was time for him to leave?

I found a piece of paper, wrote a resignation letter casually, and put it aside. I felt a little sorry for Coco? Chanel, she admired herself quite well! Just leave like this? Forget it, I will explain to her when I have the opportunity to meet her again in the future!

Vince never expected that this guy had only worked in the company for less than two weeks before resigning? "Mr. Ike, is it the company designed it for you..."

"Ah, no. It has nothing to do with something like that, it's just that I'm not used to working in a fixed place for too long, so please forgive my presumption."

"So that?" Vince played with the resignation letter in his hand: "It seems that all I can do is agree to your resignation?"

“…………”

Vince opened the drawer and put his resignation letter in: "Mr. Ike, what's going on about your design drawings..."

"Please rest assured that this matter only exists between you and me. Oh, and Mr. Senna. Apart from that, there will never be a fourth person to know."

Vince smiled with satisfaction and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Ike, here we are grateful for everything you have done for the company for a few days. I hope that after leaving Chanel, your designer's path can be broader!"

Ai Fei shook his hand: "Thank you for your wishes, Mr. Vince. Believe me, I will definitely achieve greater success in the field of clothing design as you wish!"

Although Wallace and Ai Fei ended their cooperative relationship, the personal relationship between the two never broke off. After learning that he suddenly resigned from Chanel, the playboy thought he had heard it wrong: "Mr. Ike? Are you not kidding? Don't you know that the designer of Chanel is definitely not something that ordinary people can do! Not to mention the fact that you are Japanese? Why don't you cherish this opportunity at all?"

"I cherish it very much!" Ai Fei was really grateful for the excitement of his American friends: "Mr. Wallace, please believe me. This decision was made after I seriously considered it, and I will bear all the consequences."

"Well, if that's the case, I can't say anything more. What's next? What are your plans?"

"It's still what I told you before, to set up your own studio."

"You can't forget your studio, right?" Wallace sarcastically said: "Even if the studio is really established, do you think it will be successful?"

"None of us knows what the future will be like, but so far, my idea will not change. Mr. Wallace, this time I called you to ask you, in New York you have friends who can find a suitable place for me, and I want to rent a...written room as my office location."

"So? I will pay attention to you. What about the approximate conditions?"

"What are the conditions? I don't have many conditions, so the place doesn't have to be very big, as long as it can accommodate my work. Alas! It seems that I have to return to my working status in Japan again! I have to do everything myself?"

"What did you say?"

"Oh, nothing, I'm a little distracted." Ai Fei quickly regained his thoughts: "For the time being, as long as I can accommodate myself to work alone, the business started is just to accept orders from some customers and then make them. That's it."

"Okay, if this is the case, it shouldn't be difficult. Wait for my call."
