  Chapter 58: Motto 2.0

  TL: Etude

  Lu Xuemei had just pared two design drafts, askirangers for their opinions. Seven preferred the inal version, two liked the st one, and one was indecisive. The preference seemed clear.

  “How about that? I told you so. It’s better unged. Just blind dire.”

  Jiang Qin took the ptop, lifting his head indifferently, “Did anyone bee curious about the website tent after seeing the picture?”

  Lu Xuemei nodded, “Of course, they were curious and even asked when the website would be avaible.”

  “Which desighey pointing to when they asked?”

  “The sed one.”

  After saying this, Lu Xuemei paused, suddenly realizing something. Indeed, people were pointing at the simplest design, the ter version, when asking about the website.

  “Why is that?” Lu Xuemei erplexed.

  “It’s normal because the previous version is indeed good-looking and sophisticated, but it had too many elements. A quice couldn’t capture any focal point. Removing redundant elements made the information delivery more direct.”

  Jiang Qihe ptop ba front of Pang Hai, speaking in a calm tone.

  “But only an attractive advertisement gee the desire to look at it. If people don’t even want to look, your streamlined information delivery is useless.”

  Lu Xuemei felt unvinced. Effit information transmission is important, but what’s the point if no one looks at it?

  “But it’s a fan,” Jiang Qin said, looking at her.

  Hearing this, Lu Xuemei paused, as if she suddenly uood something, her retort dying ihroat.

  “With the weather so hot, you use a fan when going to the restroom, eating in the cafeteria, attending club activities, or even in css, right? Even if it’s not that exquisite, is it hard to g the information on the fan for a sed?”

  Pang Hai’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, a realization dawning on him, “That makes sense…”

  Jiang Qin rubbed his arms, chilled by the air ditioning, and tinued, “Flyers must be attractively designed because they ck practical value. If they’re not appealing, they get discarded, and most people don’t care what’s written. But a fan is different. It has the potential to be kept and used. So why should desighetics impede information transmission?”

  Lu Xuemei pursed her lips, uo utter a word.

  She admitted that her focus had always been on the aesthetic of the graphic design itself, not sidering its carrier.

  But as Jiang Qin had just pointed out, knowing that people wouldn’t casually discard a fan, why obstruct precise information transmission in favor of excessive aesthetic demands?

  Pang Hai looked up, “Boss, have you studied ercial design and advertising marketing before?”

  “No, I just have a bit more talent and fir than the average person.”

  “Talent? Where? I ’t see it,” Lu Xuemei retorted, unvinced.

  Jiang Qin just smiled, treating her like a petunt child, “Young girl, how you be so blind at such a young age? That’s sad.”

  “You…”

  “Alright, Old Pang, please send the design to Shengshi Advertising. I have military training this afternoon ao leave.”

  Jiang Qin then called his the little rich dy ahe library for the bubble tea shop.

  “Military training? He’s a freshman?” Lu Xuemei’s eyes widened in disbelief, feeling a sudden sense of defeat.

  Lu Xuemei, having studied design for two years, struggled to accept being schooled by a freshman, especially in her own field of expertise.

  Pang Hai slowly packed up his puter and patted her shoulder, “Don’t be disced, Xuemei. Not just you, even I hadn’t sidered the aspect of the uniedium.”

  “Really, Master?” Lu Xuemei looked up at him.

  “Really. This past year, I’ve taken on many small local business flyer designs. I always thought my aesthetise and skills were superior, and the ts’ requirements were simple — just bold and not ugly fonts. I was quite self-satisfied. But only today did I uand that real ercial design is not so superficial.”

  Pang Hai sighed, “No wonder some designers only get jobs worth a few hundred, while others handle projects worth hundreds of thousands.”

  After a moment of refle, Lu Xuemei suddenly looked up, “But how did he know that? He’s not even from our field!”

  “You have to admit, some people have a knack for seeing the bigger picture.”

  …

  At noon, Pang Hai raising Jiang Qin’s brilliance, but iernoon, during military training, Jiang Qin suffered.

  As soon as he arrived at the drill field, he was ‘warmly’ greeted by the instructor and then got a notable package of running five ps around the field, standing at attention for an hour, and shouting “Dismiss” a thousand times to the wall.

  After that ordeal, Jiang Qin swore o perform talents again.

  “The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, make money while you’re young.

  Don’t chase love, go to bed early food health.

  Read more when you have time, and when annoyed, just massage your feet.

  Living off a wealthy partner doesn’t bite, heiresses are indeed great.”

  Jiang Qin wrote down these lines, his Life Motto 2.0, with a sti the grouh a tree.

  Being the standout also had its perks. At least wheurned, his squad and three others showed their high appreciation and appuse.

  Simply put, his talent dispy had earned four squads a three-hour break. His acceptance of the penalty moved many.

  However, when the military training ended and Jiang Qiuro his dorm after dinner, he faced Cao Guangyu’s merciless mockery.

  Cao, exempt from training due to a medical procedure, didn’t o be grateful to Jiang Qin. Hearing about the “Dismiss” stunt uo him, he felt an urge to kick a man when he was down.

  “Old Jiang, I heard you spent the afternoon shouting ‘Dismiss’ at the wall, even sg away stray dogs?”

  “Heh,” Jiang Qin sneered coldly.

  Cao Guangyu, lounging on his bed, pouted like a defted balloon, “Told you, don’t be so high-profile all the time. Some things are beyond your trol.”

  Jiang Qin g him, “How’s your… pee tool?”

  “Needs ahree or four days to recover. Why?”

  “I’ve got something to show you.”

  Jiang Qin opened his ptop aered the website he had previously given to Su Nai, clig on the video se.

  Cao Guangyu’s face paled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
