Gu Nian and Andy's draft pitch was scheduled for a week later.
The atmosphere in the conference room was more serious than the last time. When Gu Nian listened to Andy talk about her design draft, her inner nervousness increased even more.
Huo Huaijin still looked confident: "Go ahead, I believe you."
Gu Nian nodded to him, glanced at Lu Shiqian opposite him inadvertently, took a deep breath and stood up.
She was more prepared this time than last time, and the entire design speech process was smooth and smooth. The light on her body was as bright as her design concept.
"This is all my design concepts and directions, thank you all."
After she finished speaking, she calmly returned to her seat, her heart finally falling back into her stomach.
Lu Shiqian's eyes lingered on her for two seconds, and then he flipped through the design draft in his hand as if nothing had happened.
Gu Nian's performance this time is undoubtedly excellent. He has his own unique insights in creativity and design. These designs can compete with those of a senior designer.
"I wonder whose design Mr. Lu is more satisfied with this time?"
After Huo Huaijin finished speaking, he gave Gu Nian a reassuring look, and then waited quietly for Lu Shiqian to make the final decision.
Lu Shiqian raised his head, his eyes focused on everyone.
After a long while, he closed the documents in front of him and said in a calm tone: "Gu Nian's design is indeed better."
When Andy heard this, her face turned extremely ugly in an instant. She glanced at Gu Nian, who was looking happy next to her, and bit her crimson lips fiercely.
As expected, Gu Nian defeated Andy.
Andy returned to her work station, and the design draft in her hand was crumpled into a ball by her.
Ji Xin saw that Andy looked bad, so she comforted her with some kind words: "Her designs may make people feel fresh. Don't take it to heart. In terms of strength, you are definitely better than her."
"What's new?" Andy sneered, unable to hide the unwillingness in his eyes, "She's just lucky, she happens to have a good brother!"
The last two words were bitten hard by her, almost as if they were popping out of her teeth.
As soon as he finished speaking, two familiar figures appeared in the distance. It was Huo Huaijin who personally escorted Gu Nian back to the design department.
Before leaving, he even touched her head affectionately. The gentle and doting look on his face made everyone in the office envious.
Ji Xin looked at Andy's gloomy face and didn't know what to say.
She always knew that Andy liked Mr. Huo. She had just suffered a setback in the workplace. When she turned around, she saw the person she liked and her competitor flirting with each other. It was normal to feel uncomfortable...
Andy's anger persisted until the next day, and even got worse.
She looked down on Gu Nian from the bottom of her heart, and felt that Gu Nian was not worthy of Huo Huaijin.
Andy walked out of the elevator, punched the card, suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the elevator behind him, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
Gu Nian is just a newcomer who has just entered the industry. If he wants to sharpen his skills, he should suffer a little, right?
…
Gu Nian made an appointment with Huo Huaijin to have dinner together at noon. She waited until everyone was almost gone before packing up and getting ready to go downstairs.
Andy walked out from the corner, looked at her back as she walked towards the elevator, with a strange smile on her lips, and walked towards the switch in the fire escape.
Gu Nian knew nothing about this.
After she entered the elevator, she pressed the floor button. After a while, an accident happened!
After the elevator suddenly paused, it suddenly began to fall rapidly. Without noticing, Gu Nian was thrown into a corner.
Before the elevator stopped, the light above suddenly went out again!
Her psychological fear suddenly increased, and she stood up holding on to the handrail. The lights came on again. She quickly checked all the floors below and sounded the alarm again.
what to do?!
How could the elevator suddenly break down?!
If the elevator went straight down to the bottom, then she...
Gu Nian hurriedly took out her cell phone, but there was no signal at all.
Just when I was desperate, the elevator stopped and got stuck on the sixth floor.
Gu Nian gasped for air and felt that her legs were weak.
After a while, the security personnel opened the elevator from outside. Huo Huaijin saw Gu Nian lying limply on the ground, his eyes tightened, and he strode forward to pick her up, "Nian Nian, are you okay?"
"Brother...I'm fine."
It wasn't until she stepped out of the elevator that Gu Nian's heart finally settled. She couldn't help but wonder, the elevator was out of order, why did it come back again after a power outage?
Huo Huaijin raised his eyes, and the tenderness just now was swept away, and he said coldly to Li Yu behind him: "Go and check now! Give me an explanation immediately!"
"Okay Mr. Huo!"
Li Yu was also shocked. Logically speaking, the company's elevators are regularly inspected and maintained. How could such an accident happen?
Fortunately, nothing happened to anyone now. If there was more than one person inside, the consequences would be disastrous.
But this person inside is the most important person to Mr. Huo...
Thinking of this, his face became more serious and he quickened his pace.
The security personnel quickly cooperated with him to check the surveillance system, and also arranged for someone to check the elevator.
Finally, Andy was found pulling the switch. Before she could leave, she was pulled by the security guard and brought to Huo Huaijin.
"I...not me! I didn't..."
Andy was really frightened, and his usual calmness was gone.
She didn't expect it to be so serious, she just wanted to turn off the switch to scare Gu Nian and teach her a lesson.
So when I saw the elevator jumping down quickly to the floor, I panicked and forgot about everything.
"Mr. Huo! I really didn't mean it... I just think this competition is unfair! I... I really didn't want to hurt her!"
Even if there is a sudden power outage, the elevator will only stop running. How could it fall?
Andy couldn't understand, tears fell down like broken beads, and he tried to pull Huo Huaijin in a panic, but was dodged by the other party.
She looked at Gu Nian again, "Gu Nian... I really didn't want to hurt you! You believe me! I didn't do it..."
Gu Nian moved his eyes aside and ignored her look for help.
She is not kind enough to forgive those who hurt her.
Huo Huaijin glanced at her coldly, not wanting to waste any more words, and said to the security guard on the other side: "Call the police."
"No...Mr. Huo, believe me! I really didn't break the elevator! I just wanted to play a prank on her..."
"Prank?" Huo Huaijin looked at her with cold eyes, "Don't tell me, go tell the police."
"elder brother......"
Suddenly, Gu Nian pulled Huo Huaijin's sleeve.
Huo Huaijin thought that Gu Nian wanted to plead for Andy. He lowered his head, but saw that Gu Nian's face was pale, and his other hand was tightly covering his stomach. His voice was also weak, "Brother, my stomach hurts suddenly.
."
Huo Huaijin couldn't care about anything else, his expression changed drastically, he hugged her and walked quickly to the parking lot.
Li Yu looked at his boss's expression, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ran after him and opened the back seat door first.
"Hurry up, go to the hospital."
As soon as he got into the car, a steady and powerful voice came from behind.
Zhou Yu responded, started the engine, and couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror at the back seat. The man carefully held the girl in his arms, his face full of love and worry.
The car sped along and stopped in the hospital's underground parking lot.
A layer of cold sweat formed on Gu Nian's forehead, and he unconsciously clutched Huo Huaijin's sleeves.
"Nian Nian, please bear with me a little longer."
Huo Huaijin hugged her and quickly walked inside, while looking down at her condition. Seeing her weakness, she felt that her heart was being squeezed by a big hand.
After entering the hospital, Gu Nian pushed into the emergency room. For some reason, she suddenly felt panicked, as if something was about to happen.
"elder brother……"
Huo Huaijin hurriedly walked over and said softly: "I've been here all along. Be good and you'll be fine in a moment."
A tear fell from the corner of Gu Nian's eyes, she looked at him and nodded.
The door to the emergency room was closed, and Huo Huaijin stayed outside to wait anxiously. His usually calm composure collapsed at this moment.
"She will be fine, right?"
"...Yes, Mr. Huo, good people have their own destiny, don't worry."
After an unknown amount of time, the doctor came out and looked at him accusingly: "Since your wife is pregnant, she should be more careful. If you are not careful, if something goes wrong with the child, it will be too late to regret it!"
Huo Huaijin raised his head, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning, and asked unconsciously: "Pregnant?"
