The next day, Shoyo returned to work as an interior designer. He received a call from a client who wanted to order some interior items for their new apartment. Unwittingly, Shoyo had no idea that the person calling was Ayumi.
Client: Hello, is this Mr Agata, interior designer?
Shoyo: Yes, this is Agata. What can I help you with?
Client: I heard about your reputation as an excellent interior designer. I just bought an apartment and I want to order some furniture and decorations to fill the room. Can you help me with this project?
Shoyo: Sure, I'm happy to help. Can you tell me more details about what you want and the style preferences of the interior you have?
Client: Sure, I want to create a cozy and minimalist atmosphere with a modern twist. I am interested in neutral colored furniture and wood accents. I also want to have a welcoming living room area and an elegant dining room. Can you give me advice and help me choose suitable furniture?
Shoyo: Sure, I can give advice and arrange a meeting with you to see firsthand the apartment space to be decorated. From there, I will gather more detailed information and devise design concepts to suit your preferences.
Client: That sounds good. When can we meet and discuss more?
Shoyo: What if we meet tomorrow at your apartment? I'll bring some catalogues and sample materials to give you an idea of the design that might suit you.
Client: All right, tomorrow at 10 am in my apartment. I hope we can achieve satisfactory results. Thank you for your help, Mr. Agata.
Shoyo: Equally, I am happy to help. See you tomorrow, and I'll be ready to help you make the interior design you dream of.
Inwardly, Shoyo was happy to get a new project, but there was also a strange feeling surrounding him. He does not realize that the client he just called is Ayumi, his missing childhood best friend. He can't wait to meet up with the client and work on this exciting project.
The next day, Shoyo contacted Ayumi to confirm the business meeting at the interior design office. However, with a bit of disappointment, Shoyo tells his client (Ayumi) that he cannot attend at the appointed time.
Shoyo: "Hello, dear client. I'm sorry, but there was something urgent that came up this morning. I won't be able to come to the meeting at 10 as planned."
Ayumi: "Oh, is that right, sir? What was? Is everything okay?"
Shoyo: "Yes, everything is fine, but there is a sudden need that I have to solve. However, don't worry, I have assigned my subordinate, Shiro, to replace me in the meeting. He has the same knowledge about interior projects that we discussed earlier."
Ayumi: "Alright, then. Hope your problem is resolved well. I hope Shiro can provide the information I need regarding the project."
Shoyo: "Thank you for your understanding, dear client. I really appreciate it. Shiro I've already told you in detail about this project, so he's ready to lead the meeting with you. If there's anything you need to discuss further, please tell him."
Ayumi: "All right, I'll pass the message to Shiro. Hope everything goes well. Thank you, sir."
Shoyo: "Sama-sama, Dear Client. Sorry again for the inconvenience. I will try to be present at the next meeting to give full support to this project."
After the conversation with Ayumi ended, Shoyo immediately contacted Shiro to give further instructions. He explains clearly about the interior design that has been discussed with the client before and provides all the necessary information.
Shoyo: "Hello, Shiro. I can't be at the meeting with the client tomorrow. You'll replace me and lead the discussion on the interior project for our new client's apartment."
Shiro: "Good, Shoyo. I'll do it well. Are there any specific instructions I should give you or things to look out for?"
Shoyo: "Make sure you explain the plans and concepts we discussed earlier clearly. If there are any changes or special requests from the client, take good note and make sure everything is properly documented."
Shiro: "Ready, Shoyo. I will make sure that everything runs smoothly and the client is satisfied with the results. Thank you for your trust."
Shoyo: "Thank you, Shiro. I know you can handle this well".
Shoyo was relieved to hear the trust shown by Shiro. He is confident that Shiro will carry out his duties well and provide satisfactory results to the Client.
The meeting arrived the next day at 10am in the apartment. Shiro prepared all the necessary documents and designs for the presentation to Ayumi. He made sure everything was neat and orderly for the meeting to go smoothly.
When Ayumi arrives, Shiro greets her kindly and explains the situation that her boss is unable to attend due to urgent matters. He assures Ayumi that he has understood the project well and is ready to give a comprehensive presentation.
Shiro: "Good morning, Ayumi. Forgive my boss for not being able to attend today. There was urgent business that he had to finish. However, don't worry, I have fully understood this project and am ready to present all the interior designs that we have discussed before."
Shiro begins the presentation by explaining every aspect of interior design they have discussed. He showed sketches, visualizations, and mood boards that showed the concept and nuances that would be presented in Ayumi's apartment. Shiro clearly explains the design decisions taken and provides a deep understanding of each detail.
Ayumi seemed enthusiastic about Shiro's work. He gave some input and a change request that he wanted to see. Shiro meticulously recorded all the requests and gave an explanation of how the changes would be implemented.
The meeting went smoothly, and Shiro managed to establish a good relationship with Ayumi. They discussed with enthusiasm about creative ideas to beautify Ayumi's apartment.
After the presentation was completed, Ayumi thanked Shiro for his hard work and expressed his satisfaction with the progress achieved.
Ayumi: "Thank you, Shiro. I'm really happy with the results you showed today. You have understood my vision and desires well. I really hope to see this project materialize in my new apartment."
Shiro: "Thank you, Ayumi. I'm so happy to hear that you're satisfied with the progress we've made. I will continue to work hard to meet your expectations and produce awesome interior designs."
After the meeting ended, Shiro immediately contacted Shoyo to provide a full report on the outcome of the meeting and a change request submitted by Ayumi. He gave Shoyo detailed information on matters that needed to be considered and discussed further.
Shiro: "Hello, Shoyo. The meeting with Ayumi is over. He is very happy with the progress we have made. He provided some input and change requests that we need to discuss further. I've recorded everything well."
Shoyo: "Good, Shiro. Thanks for the report. What are the requests and changes he makes?"
Shiro: "He wanted to customize some details in the concept of the living room, such as the color change of the walls and the addition of certain decoration elements. Besides, he also has a new idea for the master bedroom design that he wants to discuss with us."
Shoyo: "Well, we need to carefully consider each such request. I'll revisit the initial design we've created and discuss with you what changes we can implement."
Shiro: "Sure, Shoyo. I've prepared all the records and related documents. When can we meet to discuss it?"
Shoyo: "What if we arrange a meeting at the office tomorrow morning at 9? We can re-examine the design and discuss the next steps."
Shiro: "Well, I'll mark the meeting's schedule. I'll make sure that everything's ready before tomorrow's meeting."
After communicating with Shiro, Shoyo was relieved to have a reliable team in the face of this kind of situation. He planned to re-examine the interior design and prepare a solution that was in accordance with the client's request.
The next day, Shoyo and Shiro meet at the office to discuss a change request from Client. They sit together, look back at the initial design, and work together to fit the concept that has been created.
In their discussion, Shoyo provides input and advice based on his experience as an interior designer. They look for the best way to implement the changes demanded by Ayumi, while still maintaining the overall harmony and beauty of the design.
After hours of discussion, Shoyo and Shiro managed to redesign some aspects of interior design according to Client's request. They compiled a list of actions that need to be taken to implement the changes.
Shoyo: "Good, Shiro. We have found a good solution to accommodate client requests. Now, our job is to proceed with these changes carefully and make sure that the results are in line with his expectations."
Shiro: "I agree, Shoyo. I'll organize a team soon
and the resources needed to implement the design changes. I will work closely with the construction team and suppliers to ensure that these changes can be implemented properly and on time."
Shoyo: "Good, Shiro. I fully believe in your ability to manage this project. Be sure to keep in touch with the Client regularly and involve him in every stage of the process. It's important to make sure that he feels involved and satisfied with the end result."
Shiro: "I will maintain good communication with Client, Shoyo. I'll notify him of any developments and make sure he has the opportunity to provide additional input or changes if needed."
With the action plan drawn up, Shoyo and Shiro are committed to continuing the Client apartment interior design project with dedication and professionalism. They work together as a solid team, supporting each other and exchanging information to achieve common goals.
The project became an opportunity for Shiro to expand his professional skills and experience, while Shoyo remained involved in directing the project as a whole despite being unable to attend the initial meeting.
In the end, the results of their work will be reflected in the satisfaction of the Client with the interior design of his new apartment. With hard work, teamwork, and good communication, they are sure to achieve results that meet Ayumi's expectations and produce stunning designs.
The project is one of the challenges for Shoyo and Shiro, but also an opportunity to prove their ability and professionalism in the interior design industry. With passion and dedication, they are ready to run this project well and provide the best results for the Client.
In the end, Shoyo did not know that the client who called him was Ayumi.
