It wasnât possible to compare LX with LS.
LX was a brand that targeted the rich, while LS was more of a mass-market brand.
As LS was focused on the general public, its sales volume outnumbered that of LX.
However, LX was very popular within the high-end segment. Therefore, its new launches would always sell out quickly.
Hence, it was like comparing apples to oranges.
Meanwhile, a designer named Shannon, who was on good terms with Ashlyn, protested with a frown, âMs. Hobbs, donât be unreasonable.â
But Megan merely sneered, âShannon, Fashion Week hasnât even begun. Donât you have any confidence?â
âThatâs right. LS has the best sales within the company. Are you afraid of some competition?â Meganâs assistant, Abigail interjected haughtily.
âYea! Donât tell me youâre chickening out,â another one of Meganâs designers added.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn stood where she was, smiling smugly.
These people are reallyâ¦
Glaring at the other designers, Shannon looked towards Ashlyn. âBoss, thereâs no point in such a bet.
We are a luxury brand while they are mass-market. Itâs notâ¦â
âThatâs right, Boss. Letâs not compete.â
A few other designers who were close to Ashlyn advised her.
As Ashlynâs lips widened, the mask she wore couldnât hide her cold yet enchanting demeanor. âMs.
Hobbs, I accept your challenge.â
Itâs not going to be easy kicking me out of LX.
Everyone widened their eyes in shock when they heard what she said.
Every year, LSâ sales volume continued to grow, while LX would always be sold out among the socialites. Even so, the difference in sales volume was beyond compare. This was due to Xâs eccentric requirement. She wanted every store to only have a single design with three sizes each. Therefore, all the clothes she designed were limited in number.
Once they were sold, that was it.
As for LS, the manufacturing department would produce more of the designs that sold well.
The judging criteria at Fashion Week did not only consider the design philosophy and the aesthetics of the design. It also took into account the sales volume of the designerâs work.
If they were to compete, LS would definitely win.
Despite how cutting edge and fashionable LXâs designs were, they simply couldnât compete solely based on the sales volume.
Therefore, there was no chance they could beat LS.
âIsnât X being too full of herself? Even though her designs are popular among the rich and famous, how can the average, white-collared worker afford her clothes?â
âThatâs right. Is she crazy? When the judging committee considers sales volume, she would definitely fall behind.â
âWhat has gotten into her? It seems she may have been put on a pedestal domestically for too long as a design genius, to the extent that she doesnât know her limits at the international level.â
âTsk, Tsk. This is just shocking. Maybe she is coveting Ms. Hobbsâ position as the director of design.
Therefore, she is using the opportunity to seize power.â
This was the outcome that Megan had expected.
Without everyone bearing witness, X cannot go back on her word.
Prepare to get kicked out of the company!
Without her challenging my authority in the future, I will have the space to demonstrate my capabilities as the director of design.
âX, that settles it. See you at Fashion Week.â
Ashlyn glanced at Megan coldly, âMs. Hobbs, see you there.â
Megan believed that she would definitely win.
No matter what, X would definitely be kicked out of the company.
With that, everyone left the room and prepared to head for Fashion Week.
Meanwhile, Ashlyn and Shannon rode in the company car.
Inside, Shannon gave Ashlyn a concerned look. âBoss, were you being too impulsive?â
âItâs just a bet. Whatâs there to be worried about?â Ashlyn squinted her eyes a little as she smiled. âI love taking risks and facing the unknown. Donât you think itâs exciting?â
