Chapter 481: Chapter 481 Switching Places Feeling Embarrassed_1

Now it was Kang Yue’s turn to feel embarrassed. She was always the one teasing others; it was never her on the receiving end. She felt incredibly shy, but there was nothing she could say about it. She could only force herself to stand up.

She mustn’t let him see her blushing—where would that leave her pride? She had always prided herself on being a girl who wasn’t bothered by such things. If she showed even a tiny bit of awkwardness now, who knows how she would be able to laugh it off later.

"I really don’t want to talk about this with you. I’m going to do my stuff. You can just sit here looking stupid," she said, and then walked away.

If anyone could see her outside, they would notice her face was flushed red, even redder than a monkey’s butt. Yes, she was truly embarrassed. She had never experienced this in the office before; even if there was a time, it had always been her taking the initiative. Now, she acted as if she had never been through anything like this.

Only when she was outside and saw no one around did she dare to fan her face with her hand, feeling her cheeks burning hot.

Fortunately, he hadn’t seen her like that when she came out. If he had, it would have been too much to handle.

Shen Dong simply wanted to cool off his own embarrassment and wasn’t planning to say much. After cooling down, he began to think about how big to scale up the plan, how to negotiate that plot of land. Securing the land would definitely require some effort.

After Kang Yue left, she started to think about how she could handle the matter smoothly and impressively.

Forget it; she might as well visit some impoverished areas to have a look. While thinking about this, she planned to leave immediately. But as a woman going to such places alone wasn’t safe, she decided to wait and ask Shen Dong to accompany her tomorrow. He should also see what kind of characters those women out there had.

Shen Dong sat in the room, planning what to name the newest bar. Despite racking his brain, he couldn’t come up with an appropriate name that was trendy enough to attract patrons.

"Mr. Shen, as our partner, I think you must be involved in this matter. It’s about the icon’s shape. Our previous icon was just a standard phone, and it’s tough for us to let it go.

But to make it more appealing to everyone, we’ve decided to change it. Now, the designers have given us two proposals. Please take a look and tell us which one you think suits our current software better? We need your opinion before giving us an answer."

Mr. Ma took a moment to decide to ask the relatively senior Mr. Shen. He was sure that Mr. Shen could provide an accurate answer. With this, they could have a certain plan. With this thought in mind, he sent the message directly, without worrying about receiving no reply. It’s about partnership; there will surely be a response with an answer.

When Shen Dong saw the reply, he began to imagine what the final icon for the penguin should look like. But try as he might, he couldn’t fully grasp it because he hadn’t paid attention to it before. Now that he wanted to start over, it just occurred to him.

Initially, he thought about whether to design the icon himself or to adopt the latter version as it was, but the other party sent two images: the first image was the original penguin version.

It was simply a picture of a small penguin, and the other was a duck icon, alongside an improved version of a phone. It seemed that the big brick phone version was preferred in-house, but Mr. Ma always felt it lacked something, and some decided to go straight with the penguin.

However, Mr. Ma felt there was something odd about this penguin—it wasn’t the penguin he had pictured. He hesitated on what to choose, and after pondering for quite a while without a conclusion, he sent all the images to Shen Dong, hoping he would help decide.

After all, he was one of the shareholders, wasn’t it? It wouldn’t hurt to have his input. If his opinion wasn’t satisfactory, he could choose not to follow it. It was just a simple suggestion.

Seeing the images, Shen Dong understood Mr. Ma must have been conflicted, but in the end, he chose to revise the penguin, surely for his reasons, perhaps something related to the branding. If it was up to Shen Dong, he would also choose the penguin, but it needed perfection and thus his modifications.

"Mr. Ma, could you send me the original penguin draft? I think it needs some revisions, and I’m convinced that after modifying it, you’ll choose that design," said Shen Dong, without a second thought about how this might come across.

Mr. Ma heard this and felt the young man was a bit all talk and no substance. How could he just say that outright? Was he disregarding their design studio’s graphic artists? If there were any changes needed, it would be better to discuss them directly. Shen Dong had never worked on such tasks before; how could he make such grand claims about it?

Feeling skeptical, yet obliged, Mr. Ma had no choice but to send it. Besides, the request had to be addressed; withholding it would appear petty. However, he began to regret that he didn’t make a decision on his own, listening to others instead.

But words were said, and as a chairman, how could he not follow through? After sending it, he stated, "Mr. Shen, you go on and modify it. Once you’re done, I’ll see if it’s satisfactory or not. I’m rather picky, and if I’m not pleased with your changes, I won’t use them. I hope you don’t take offense."

Mr. Ma had to state this upfront, after all, to prepare Shen Dong in case it was rejected. It was not about hurting the relationship between the two families over this matter. Even if Shen Dong was a bit overconfident, fortunately, his competence was not in question. It would be foolish to jeopardize the cooperation over this incident. Maintaining good relations was all that mattered—this statement served as just a precaution.
