Gu Susu sat in the living room, seeing that all four walls were covered with Sasha's artistic photos. From any angle, she exuded a star-like aura.
Lu Zhiming noticed these photos, but after glancing at Sasha's artistic shots, he couldn't help but look at Gu Susu and say, "Why do I feel like you two look a bit alike? Isn't this Sasha related to you in some way?"
Gu Susu smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Director Lu, I don't have any relatives who are big stars. Besides, if you compare me to a big star, I'll take it as a compliment."
Lu Zhiming chuckled. He hadn't intended to compliment Gu Susu, but he was simply stating his genuine feeling.
After waiting for a while, Sasha finally emerged from the inner room, dressed in silk pajamas, as if she had just woken up. She cast a glance at both of them and then sat on the sofa opposite them, casually picking up her phone. "Bring out the dresses," she said. "I'll try them on."
Lu Zhiming and Gu Susu both stood up. Gu Susu removed the dust bags from several dresses and presented them one by one for Sasha to review.
Sasha didn't even look up or respond.
Gu Susu took the initiative to ask, "Miss Sasha, which one would you like to try first? I'll accompany you. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, Director Lu can modify it for you at any time."
Sasha must have finished sending a message before looking up at the dresses. However, her peripheral vision caught Gu Susu, and she asked, "You're new to Trend, I haven't seen you before."
Gu Susu nodded and politely replied, "Hello, my name is Gu Susu."
"Then come and help me try them on. I want to try all of these," Sasha said, pointing at her.
Gu Susu responded with an "Okay" and followed her into the bedroom's walk-in closet, helping her put on a light yellow dress first.
"This one fits you quite well. The hollow floral design on the back is very unique."
Sasha turned around in front of a wall-length mirror, saying with some dissatisfaction, "I feel like the waist area looks a bit bulky. Can this be altered?"
"It should be possible," Gu Susu thought that with Sasha's figure, the waist didn't look bulky in this dress. It seemed Sasha was being a bit picky.
Sasha asked her, "How do you suggest we alter it?"
With Lu Zhiming present, Gu Susu dared not offer any random opinions. She said, "Perhaps you could wear it out, and Director Lu can see how to make the best modifications."
Sasha nonchalantly replied, "Forget it. Let's try the next one. We'll discuss it after trying them all."
Gu Susu helped her try on the remaining dresses. It seemed she was not satisfied with any of the subsequent ones.
Sasha still favored the first dress, the light yellow one. Judging by her expression, Gu Susu believed she had decided to wear it for some important event.
Gu Susu asked her to put on the light yellow dress again and come to the living room, standing before Lu Zhiming.
"Director Lu, Miss Sasha likes this one the most, but she wants some alterations to the waist to make it appear slimmer."
Lu Zhiming stood up and looked, saying, "How about adding a bow to the waist? It would make the waist look very slender."
"Tacky and childish. I don't like it," Sasha said directly.
Gu Susu saw that Lu Zhiming wasn't angered by Sasha's comment and maintained his smile. "How about adding a silver chain to the waist? It would serve as decoration and be elegant."
"A waist chain? It feels strange. I don't like it." Sasha pointed at Gu Susu with a displeased expression and asked, "Do you have any ideas? Help me think. I have to wear this dress to an important event tomorrow."
"Me?" Gu Susu looked at Lu Zhiming with a bit of surprise and quickly said, "I haven't thought of anything. Both of Director Lu's suggestions can achieve the effect you want, Miss Sasha."
Sasha glanced at Gu Susu and said, dissatisfied, "Forget it then. I don't want any of these dresses. You can help me return them."
Lu Zhiming quickly asked, "Besides this yellow dress, are you not satisfied with the others either?"
Sasha said choosily, "The other dresses are passable, but none of them particularly impress me. I'll look elsewhere."
"But you need to wear one tomorrow. Is it too late to order from another company?" Gu Susu, although new to Trend, understood that if Sasha rejected all the dresses, it would not only cause losses for the company but also put Director Lu in a difficult position.
Sasha turned to go back to the walk-in closet to change her dress, chuckling lightly, "Since none of them turned out as I liked, I might as well rent a ready-made one. That way, I don't have to wait so long, only to be disappointed in the end."
As she spoke, she called Gu Susu over and pointed to her assistant, saying, "You come with me to the walk-in closet and help me take off this dress."
"Wait." Gu Susu called out to her and then looked at Lu Zhiming.
Lu Zhiming whispered, "If you have any good ideas, just say them."
Sasha impatiently turned around and asked, "What is it now? If you don't have the expertise, don't take on exclusive design orders."
"Miss Sasha, I've thought of a way." Gu Susu stood in front of her, slightly bending her knees, and placed her hands on the waist area of the dress. "I'm thinking of altering this part into pleats and adding silver sequins. It won't ruin the overall effect of the dress, nor will it make your stomach look prominent."
Sasha thought for a few seconds and said, "Will this work? Will it look good on me?"
Gu Susu took out the pins they had prepared earlier. Without further explanation, she asked Sasha to stand still and quickly folded the fabric at the waist a few times. "Take a look now. Does this effect work? Of course, this is before adding the sequins, which will definitely make a difference."
Sasha looked at herself in the decorative glass in the living room. Unexpectedly, with this alteration, the dress made her figure look even more perfect.
"Not bad, it's acceptable. Then I'll take it off now. You can take it back and alter it like this."
Lu Zhiming felt relieved and asked, "Do you still want the other dresses?"
"I'll take them all. Although the other dresses might not be as eye-catching, they're fine for changing into."
"Susu, you accompany Miss Sasha to change out of the dress. The matter of altering the waist area will be your responsibility," Lu Zhiming said hurriedly.
This famous star, Miss Sasha, was notoriously difficult to please. Several well-known fashion designers were unwilling to take on her orders.
Therefore, when she approached Trend this time, the boss asked him to personally oversee the design and follow-up.
When he had initially presented the design drafts, they were reviewed by Miss Sasha, and only after she expressed no objections were they sent to the best custom workshops abroad.
However, today Miss Sasha seemed completely dissatisfied with the finished product. If the final payment couldn't be collected, the company would suffer a significant loss.
Gu Susu replied with an "Okay" and prepared to follow Sasha into the walk-in closet again.
Sasha said, as if remembering something, "Oh, right, Director Lu. I'll have my assistant transfer the remaining customization fees to your company right away. Please provide your account details to my assistant, and I'll go change out of the dress."
Lu Zhiming was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
