Chapter 77 Lu Shiqian might want her to disappear forever
The moonlight is particularly bright in the summer night, and the night seems to be very short. Unknowingly, the sky turns white.
Lu Shiqian sat on the sofa alone and waited all night, but did not wait for Gu Nian to come home.
His eyes were bloodshot, his face looked obviously tired, but his eyes were so cold that it was chilling.
Even he himself didn't know what outcome he wanted to wait for this night.
You've known it for a long time, right?
She and the man were in love, and they had kept each other in their hearts for so long.
They went to the bar together and chatted happily all night. Not only was it not enough to talk to each other, they also had to change places to "exchange feelings."
What did they do all night long?
Lu Shiqian closed his eyes, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and turned around and walked out of the room.
…
When Gu Nian woke up, it was already broad daylight, and she took a long time to react to the unfamiliar environment around her.
Fortunately, there was nothing strange about the clothes she was wearing, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
There was a knock on the door, and Huo Huaijin's gentle voice asked with concern: "Nian Nian, are you awake?"
"Ah...Brother! I'm awake!"
Only then did Gu Nian realize that it was her brother who rescued her at the bar last night and then took her back to his house.
Okay, okay...
She quickly turned over and climbed up. She didn't even have time to put on her shoes before running to open the door, "Brother, it's good morning."
Huo Huaijin glanced at her bare feet with disapproval, "Why don't you wear shoes? The ground is so cold."
"...Oh, I forgot."
She went back and put on her slippers, "Brother, thank you for last night."
"Still talking."
Huo Huaijin raised his hand and tapped her forehead lightly, "Don't go to places like that all the time in the future. How dangerous is it?"
"I know, I don't go there often, but it was an accident yesterday."
She was so upset and angry because she was targeted by that man yesterday.
Huo Huaijin could tell what she was thinking at a glance, and sighed helplessly, "Wash up and go have breakfast first. I'll cook you some hangover soup. Drink it first to sober up. I'll tell you later."
Gu Nian followed him outside and asked, "What did you say?"
"Yesterday's incident... I guess it's not what you thought." Huo Huaijin pointed to the bathroom, "Go and wash up first. You smell of alcohol all over your body."
Although the words he spoke seemed to be disgusting, his eyes were full of doting.
"Okay, okay, then you go downstairs and wait for me."
With that said, she quickly rushed into the bathroom.
Gu Nian moved very quickly, finishing everything in less than ten minutes. When she came downstairs, the hangover soup and breakfast were already set on the dining table. She immediately felt her stomach growling, and she was not polite to Huo Huaijin.
Huo Huaijin looked at her sullen expression, took out a tissue and handed it to her, "Slow down, or you'll choke again."
His voice paused and he changed the topic slowly: "Don't take what Mr. Lu said in the conference room yesterday too seriously."
Hearing this, Gu Nian's throat suddenly tightened and he almost choked.
She quickly took a sip of water and poured the food down before saying, "Of course I... won't take it to heart. After all, he is Party A. Whether what he said is right or not, it should be right."
Even if he simply finds fault with her, she has nothing to say.
Huo Huaijin looked at her untrue expression and said helplessly: "What I mean is that you are probably indeed responsible for this matter - but it was not subjective or intentional."
"I went over the project plan in detail after I came back yesterday. This season's new products are mainly high-end luxury series, and your design and audience positioning are obviously focused on the general public, and you even took into account the pricing of the finished product.
The materials used are also relatively friendly to the people, but this is obviously contrary to what the other party wants."
Gu Nian stared at him dumbfounded and said nothing for a long time.
"...So you are saying that my design is fundamentally wrong."
Huo Huaijin nodded, "That's what I mean. You are not a novice who knows nothing about design. How can you not even understand the most basic product positioning? Think about it again and find out what went wrong."
Gu Nian's heart sank heavily, she put down the chopsticks in her hands and licked the corners of her mouth.
Her mind turned over and over again, and she quickly figured out which link had gone wrong.
At the beginning, it was Andy who told her that the new product design should follow the common people's line and find highlights in the ordinary. This is the main core of this design.
The materials were also handed to her by Andy.
At that time, Andy had a very good attitude and said that he would help her win this project together.
At that time, she never thought that Andy would have other thoughts, so she naturally believed her.
That is... I didn’t confirm it again.
So in this matter, although Andy was said to have done something first, in the final analysis she still had her own negligence.
Huo Huaijin looked at her depressed look and knocked on the table, "Now do you know why Mr. Lu rejected it so firmly? But I should also be somewhat responsible for this matter. I clearly read your design draft in advance.
But no problems were found.”
At this point, he chuckled lightly, with unhesitating affirmation in his eyes, "Probably because the works designed by our family Nian Nian are so excellent that I neglected other things."
"Brother, please don't excuse me. The main reason for this matter is that I listened to the villain's slander!"
Thinking of Andy, she was so angry!
But when I thought that she had misunderstood Lu Shiqian, I didn't know why, but I felt relieved, and most of the previous depression was gone.
Although Lu Shiqian's attitude was very bad yesterday...but it was for a reason and he didn't mean to make things difficult for her.
After finding the problem, Gu Nian's confidence returned.
She took a deep breath, her eyes sparkling: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely work hard this time! I won't give anyone another chance. The position of chief designer must still be mine, and no one else can take it away."
"It's good to have this energy."
Huo Huaijin saw that she seemed to be really relieved, so there was nothing to worry about. After all, Gu Nian was indeed capable.
But Gu Nian had some other thoughts in her mind.
Even if her design direction was wrong, couldn't Lu Shiqian tell her properly?
She had to dismantle her in front of so many people and speak so unpleasantly.
Is it because... I'm disappointed in her?
Or is it because of something else?
Gu Nian couldn't understand and sighed quietly.
Huo Huaijin thought she was worried about the design, so he cheered her up with a smile: "Why are you sighing? The Gu Nian I know is the best at facing difficulties. Isn't it just a matter of starting over? I believe you can do it."
Gu Nian nodded heavily, her brother was right, the more others didn't believe it, the more they had to prove themselves.
As long as she does well enough, I don't believe what Lu Shiqian can say when the time comes!
After a while, Huo Huaijin put down his chopsticks and said softly: "You hurry up and eat. I'll go upstairs to change clothes first, and we'll go to the company together later."
"good."
Gu Nian replied, but in fact she had almost eaten.
After Huo Huaijin went upstairs, she hesitantly turned on her phone.
She didn't go back last night, so Lu Shiqian would probably look for her, right?
After all, this was the first time she stayed up at night after moving into the Lu family.
But...no.
She checked WeChat, text messages, and recent calls.
There is no information about that man.
So she was overthinking it.
After just disappearing for one night, Lu Shiqian would be worried at all. Perhaps, he would also wish for her to disappear forever?
