The call in the morning was from engineer Chen. He said, ” The template room collapsed!

When Anran washed up and changed her clothes, she saw that the scene was a mess. The ceiling of the template room had fallen down and destroyed many things inside. The entire scene was too horrible to look at. The only good thing was that no one was injured in the accident. It was said that the collapse happened in the morning. When two workers went over in the morning, they didn't even open the door and go in. They only heard a loud bang. When they rushed over and opened the door, the scene had become like this.

&Quot; designer Gu, what do you think we should do now? next Monday is the acceptance date. It's impossible to repair it now. We won't be able to make it in time even if we start again according to the design plan! &Quot; Looking at the scene, Chen Gong didn't dare to have any hope for the inspection next Monday.

An ran stared at the large cement block that fell from the ceiling, as well as the tables, chairs, water buckets, and other tools that had been smashed by the cement block. Anran's heart was still beating very fast. She stepped forward, reached out to touch the broken tables and chairs, and said indifferently, ” how did this happen? ”

&Quot; I don't know either. Logically speaking, I've done the construction according to the design plan. If there's no problem with the design plan, then I'll start the construction, ” said engineer Chen. He suddenly felt that he had misspoken and quickly shut his mouth. He looked at her a little awkwardly.

Anran looked at him indifferently and didn't say anything.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't leave the house, but bad news travels a thousand miles. By the time she returned to the office, almost the entire company knew about the problem with the sample room. Seeing her enter, the front desk girl went up to her worriedly. &Quot; sister Gu, are you alright? ”

Anran glanced at her and shook her head weakly. &Quot; “I'm fine.”

She had just entered the hall when she saw Ling Lin standing up from her seat and walking towards her with a gloating expression. She said with a smile, ” &Quot; ha, your design actually collapsed. You're probably the first one in our company, right? ”

An ran looked at her and said, ” &Quot; please mind your words before you find out the exact reason. &Quot;

“Ha.” Ling Lin looked at her with a cold smile. &Quot; then I wish you good luck. I hope the results of the investigation are not about the design. &Quot; After that, he turned around and returned to his seat.

Anran dragged her tired body back to her office, but just as she pushed the door open and entered, she happened to run into Xiao Xiao, who was standing opposite her, opening the door and about to go out. When she saw Anran, she also had a faint smile on her face. He looked at her and left.

Anran sat down on the chair, feeling a little dejected. She leaned back against the chair, feeling extremely tired at the moment. There was an indescribable sense of exhaustion.

She couldn't figure out why the template room would suddenly collapse! She didn't think there was anything wrong with her design, nor did she think there was anything wrong with engineer Chen's construction. After all, they had been discussing together these days, and she had spent more time in the sample room than in the office.

He sat up abruptly and opened the drawer to take out the blueprint to take a closer look. However, when he opened the drawer, he realized that the blueprint that was originally in the drawer had disappeared. He could not find it at all!

Just as Anran was still rummaging through her closet for the design plan, someone suddenly knocked on the office door. It was the office girl, who said that Huang Dexing wanted her to go over.

Anran nodded. Even if he didn't look for her, she would still go. She had to give an explanation for this accident. She needed it for the company, for the project, and for herself.

Suddenly, she thought of something and stopped the office girl who was about to leave. &Quot; “Wait a minute, is Chen Cheng outside?” She didn't seem to have seen her when she came back. Such a big thing had happened in the demo room, but she had stayed at the scene for more than an hour just now and had not seen her.

“Uh,” The office girl was stunned. She tried hard to recall, then shook her head and said, ” “I don't think I've seen her today. Is she late?”

Anran's heart sank. She seemed to have a bad feeling about this. In fact, she quite admired Chen Cheng. She was talented in design and had a very special way of thinking. She even thought about training her well. In less than two years, when Chen Cheng accumulated a certain amount of work and management, she would probably surpass Anran. However, was she wrong?

She stood up and strode out of the office, stopping in front of Chen Cheng's seat.

He reached out and knocked on the door. Knock, knock, knock.

In the office, Huang Dexing replied loudly, ” “Come in.”

Anran pushed the door open and went in. Huang Dexing was sitting behind his desk. When he looked up and saw her come in, his brows furrowed slightly. He said calmly, ” “Have a seat.”

She pulled out the chair in front of his desk and sat down.

Huang Dexing leaned back in his chair and stared at Anran. He said, ” &Quot; I went to the construction site when I just came. How did it become like this? can you give me an explanation? ”

Anran lowered her head, then looked up at Huang Dexing and said with a bitter smile, ” “I'll take full responsibility for this.”

Huang Dexing frowned. &Quot; so, ” he asked, ” you admit that there was a problem with your design? ”

“No,” she said. Anran shook her head. &Quot; I'm very confident that there won't be any problems with the design plan. &Quot; When she was drawing the design, she had carefully calculated the proportion and the bearing force of the pressure. There would definitely be no problems. After all, she was in the construction industry. It was a place for people to live and move in the future. If she was not careful, an accident would happen. The precision of the design was the most basic responsibility and attitude that she should have.

&Quot; since it's not the design plan's problem, why do you have to take responsibility? ” Huang Dexing asked.

An ran smiled bitterly and said, ” &Quot; even if this incident didn't happen, I still have to give an explanation for this project. The blueprint is missing. &Quot; A designer actually lost his own design. Was there anything more ridiculous than this?

She wasn't sure if Chen Cheng had taken the blueprint, because she had called Chen Cheng just now, but she didn't pick up.

“What!” Huang Dexing looked at her in shock. &Quot; the drawing? haven't you been keeping the drawing? how did it go missing? ”

Anran shook her head and said weakly, ” &Quot; I don't know. I put it in the drawer of my office. I just couldn't find it when I tried to look for it. &Quot;

“It was stolen?” Huang Dexing asked.

“Chen Cheng's gone,” she said, looking up at him.

Huang Dexing frowned, obviously a little surprised by this. &Quot; you suspect that the collapse of the template room and the theft of the drawings are related to Chen Cheng? ”

“I don't know. I don't have any evidence. And I can't find Chen Cheng right now. I can't confirm if she's really related to the two.” Anran told him the truth. She wouldn't talk nonsense about things she wasn't sure about. Even though she had her suspicions, she didn't have any evidence.

Huang Dexing was silent for a long time before he said, ” Anran, you have to know how important this project is to our company. In the beginning, I resisted the pressure to get this project for you to do. I know that you have great ideas and talent in design, and you did a good job, but these are not the main point. The main point is that our company must win this project because it is our main goal for the second half of the year, but now something like this has happened. How do you want me to explain this to the Board of Directors?”

Anran looked at him and asked,”director, what do you want me to do?”

Huang Dexing looked at her for a long time before saying, ” “As you know, no matter how this happened, the result is already here. Even if Chen Cheng really stole the design and did something to the sample room, that's not the point. The point is that we're not going to be involved in this case. All of our previous efforts have been in vain.”

An ran didn't say anything and just listened.

Huang Dexing continued, ” the company will find someone to investigate the real cause of the accident. As for the responsibility of the accident, it will be investigated after the dismissal. The most important thing now is how to salvage the situation. &Quot; As he spoke, he looked at her again and continued, ” “This Mobile Manor case was originally the focus of our work for the second half of the year. Now that the template room is destroyed and the design is lost, it's impossible to remedy it even if we try. No matter how unwilling we are, we can only give up on this project now. If that's the case, we won't be able to explain it to the Board of Directors. But if we really want to explain it to them, it's not impossible. Perhaps we have other ways.” As he spoke, Huang Dexing looked at Anran with a profound look in his eyes.

&Quot; director, ” Anran asked. &Quot; what method are you referring to? ”

Huang Dexing smiled and looked at her. &Quot; Anran, you know what I want to say. If you can help the company win a few important projects in Technology City in front of Special Assistant su, Oh, no, now Deputy Mayor su, I think the Board of Directors will not have any objections. &Quot;

An ran didn't say anything and just looked at him. For the first time, she felt that marrying su Yicheng actually had such a benefit. No matter how big of a big mistake she had made, she could still use this kind of method to remedy it. She really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Huang Dexing could see his hesitation. Anran had never given him a direct response on this matter. She was always avoiding him and had no intention of helping him. He didn't force her and only said indifferently, ” “Think about it. You know that even if we bid, our company has the ability to win. It's just a guarantee.”

Anran didn't answer. She only nodded, got up, and left Huang Dexing's office.

When she returned to her office, Anran leaned back against the chair weakly, and su Yicheng's call came in at this time. He picked up the phone and said, ” Hello. &Quot;

Su Yicheng seemed to have heard the strange tone in her voice and asked, ” “Is there a problem with your work?”

Anran nodded lightly and only reacted after a while. She suddenly felt emotional and couldn't help but ask, ” Su Yicheng, what do you think if I go back and let you take care of me? ”

Su Yicheng chuckled and didn't ask for the reason. He only chuckled and said, ” “Alright.”

An ran also smiled. This was the best sentence she had heard today. After laughing, Anran said in a serious tone, ” Su Yicheng. &Quot;

“Did I ever say that I like it when you call me Yicheng?” On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng said in a serious tone.

Anran was amused by his serious tone and nodded. &Quot; “You did.”

“Are you still going to call your husband by his full name?” Su Yicheng asked in return.

Anran chuckled. It was a light smile, but it came from the bottom of her heart. After a while, she called out, ” Yicheng. &Quot; Her voice was soft and gentle, not as natural as it was when she was with him in the presence of outsiders. It was a little awkward and even a little shy.

Su Yicheng chuckled on the other end of the phone and replied, ” “Yes.” From his voice, one could tell that he was in a good mood. No, it should be said that he was in a good mood.

After chuckling, Anran returned to the topic she had just asked. She wiped the smile off her face and said, ” if I told you to abuse your authority for personal gain, would you? ”

On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng was stunned, and after a while, he asked, ” “Will you do that?”

Anran chuckled and shook her head. &Quot; I won't. &Quot; Even at this point, she still didn't want to ask su Yicheng for favoritism in the bidding. Fairness had always been her principle. Otherwise, she wouldn't have delayed and rejected Huang Dexing again and again.

On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng also laughed, and he said lightly, ” “Since you don't know how to, why are you asking?” This was unnecessary.

“I thought you would say yes.” An ran said jokingly.

On the other end of the phone, su Yicheng was silent for a while before he said, ” “Anran, if there's anything, can you tell me?”

Anran was stunned for a moment, then she opened her mouth and said in a low voice, ” &Quot; there's been a problem at work. I suddenly feel so powerless. &Quot; She suddenly felt that she was a failure as a person. It seemed that she didn't have any other good friends other than Lin Li. In fact, she quite admired Chen Cheng, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this. She didn't even know why she was doing this. Logically speaking, as a newcomer, she wasn't asked to draw for half a year like the others, but to participate in such a big project. This was equivalent to giving her a big stage to express herself. However, everything was a little different from the way she had imagined.

&Quot; if you're tired, I don't mind you coming back and letting me take care of you. My savings should be enough for you to spend your entire life without working. Of course, I'm not squandering. &Quot; Su Yicheng said in a determined and serious tone.

Anran's heart felt warm when she heard this. It was as if she knew that she had nothing to fear now that she had a man like this behind her. She smiled and said matter-of-factly, ” “You don't have to tell me. I don't mean to be polite with you.”

“Alright,” he said. Su Yicheng agreed with a smile, and the two of them talked on the phone for a while more. It wasn't until Secretary Zheng came in to inform him that he had a meeting that the two of them hung up.

Sometimes it was like this. Many things were squeezed together and then came one after another, leaving no space in the middle, leaving people unprepared.

It was noon when he received a call saying that Lin xiaofen had been admitted to the hospital. The call was from Lin xiaofen's colleague, aunty Zhang. She said that Lin xiaofen had suddenly fainted during work and that she had already been sent to the hospital by her colleagues.

Anran panicked and only recovered after a while. She grabbed her bag and rushed to the hospital. She didn't even hear Huang Dexing calling her at the company's entrance.

When they rushed to the hospital, Lin xiaofen was still in the emergency room. The doctor was still doing her checkups. Lin xiaofen's other colleagues had already returned to the company to continue working, leaving only Auntie Zhang in the hospital to wait for Lin xiaofen's family to come.

Anran slowly ran in from outside. When she saw Auntie Zhang sitting on the plastic chair outside the emergency room, she quickly asked, ” “Aunt Zhang, how's my mother? What happened? Why did she suddenly faint?” The series of questions showed her nervousness and worry at the moment.

Auntie Zhang took her hand and comforted her, ” Anran, calm down. The doctor hasn't come out yet. Your mother will be fine. Don't worry. &Quot;

“She … Why did she suddenly faint? she's always been in good health.” An ran was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

Auntie Zhang patted her and pulled an ran to sit on a plastic stool. She could only comfort her in a soft voice, ” it'll be fine. Don't worry. &Quot;

Anran buried her head in her palms and only looked up after a while. She asked Auntie Zhang, ” “Auntie Zhang, where's my dad?”

“Oh, when xiaofen fainted, I called him immediately, but he was in class and didn't pick up. I already told him when I came back, and he should be on his way to the hospital now.” Aunt Zhang said.

Anran nodded and furrowed her brows. She turned around and looked worriedly at the emergency room, which had been closed by the curtains.

“Shua shua shua”

The curtain of the emergency room was pulled open at this time, and a doctor in a white coat came out. As he took off his mask, he looked at Anran and said, ” &Quot; you're the family of patient Lin xiaofen? ”

Anran nodded quickly and asked, ” &Quot; yes, yes, yes. I'm her daughter. Doctor, how's my mother? ”

&Quot; don't worry, your mother is fine. She probably fainted because she's too tired. &Quot; The doctor said. He turned to look at the emergency room and continued,”But I suggest that you stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation, and then do a full-body examination. After all, the patient is not young anymore.”

Hearing him say that her mother was fine, Anran let out a sigh of relief. She quickly nodded and said, ” “Okay, we'll follow the hospital's arrangements.” Her mother was indeed a little old, and a full-body checkup was still necessary. Otherwise, it would be too scary if he fainted for no reason again.

In the emergency room, Lin xiaofen had already woken up, but her expression was still a little dazed. She turned her head and looked for a while before asking, ” “Where is this place?”

The nurse beside her smiled and said to her, ” Auntie, this is the hospital. You just fainted, so we were sent to the hospital. &Quot;

Lin xiaofen furrowed her brows and tried hard to recall. She only remembered that she was busy checking the accounts just now, but suddenly her head buzzed. Then, she only felt her vision turn black and couldn't remember anything.

“Mom.” Anran came in from outside and looked at Lin xiaofen. Perhaps she was still a little scared, but her nose was sour, and her eyes were a little hot.

“An ran!” Lin xiaofen was a little surprised. She looked at her and asked, ” “What are you doing here?”

“You're still saying that. You scared me.” As she said that, the tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably. She was really frightened. She had just received a call from Auntie Zhang and she didn't even know how she had managed to get through it.

&Quot; ah, xiaofen, it's good that you're fine. You scared the people in the office just now. I'm still scared. &Quot; Auntie Zhang also came in from outside. Seeing that she had woken up, she was relieved.

Lin xiaofen said with some bad intentions, ” “I'm sorry to trouble you.”

“What are you saying? it's good that you're fine.” He looked at his watch and said, ” &Quot; alright, since you're fine and Anran is here, I'll go back first. I'll go back and tell them about your news. They're probably still worried about you. &Quot;

Lin xiaofen nodded her head. &Quot; help me thank everyone. &Quot;

Aunt Zhang waved her hand and only said, ” you take care and rest well. Don't worry about anything else. I'll do your work for you. &Quot; Then, he turned to Anran and said,”Anran, take good care of your mother.” &Nbsp;

Anran nodded and stood up to see her off. &Quot; Auntie Zhang, I'll see you out. &Quot;

“Alright, you don't have to send me off. It's not like I don't know the way.” “You can stay here and keep xiaofen company,” aunt Zhang said cheerfully. Then, he turned around and left the emergency room.

When Anran and Lin xiaofen were the only ones left in the emergency room, Anran was still a little worried and asked, ” “Mom, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Lin xiaofen smiled at her, patted her hand, and said, ” “No, I'm not feeling unwell. Don't worry.”

&Quot; then, Zhenzhen … &Quot; Anran still wanted to say something, but suddenly, she heard Gu Hengwen's anxious voice outside the emergency room. &Quot; xiaofen, xiaofen? ”

“It's daddy.” Anran got up and went out. She saw Gu Hengwen standing outside anxiously, his face full of worry and uneasiness.

“Daddy.” An ran called out and walked over to him.

Gu Hengwen turned around and only noticed Anran behind him now. &Quot; where's your mother? what did the doctor say? why did she suddenly faint? ”

“The doctor said that mom might have fainted because of fatigue. It's fine. However, they suggest that we stay in the hospital for two more days for observation and do a detailed full-body examination.” An ran said honestly.

Hearing this, Gu Hengwen finally relaxed and asked, ” “Where's your mother?” she asked.

Anran took him to Lin xiaofen's side and saw him looking at his mother for a long time without saying a word. In the end, he sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out, and held her hand tightly. He only said in a low voice, ” it's good that you're fine. &Quot; These words were said to her, and to himself.

The three of them didn't stay in the emergency room for long. The nurse had already arranged the rooms for them and came over to lead them directly to the ward.

Gu Hengwen accompanied Lin xiaofen to the ward, while Anran took the form and went to complete the hospitalization procedures for Lin xiaofen. In addition, she also went to the supermarket next to the hospital to buy some daily necessities.

After Anran finished her hospitalization procedures and was about to go to the supermarket to buy some basic daily necessities, she was suddenly stopped at the door.

“Gu Anran?”

Anran turned her head in confusion and saw a man of medium height behind her. He was wearing a black suit and his hair was neatly combed. He was looking at her with a surprised expression.

Anran stared at him and thought for a while before remembering the man in front of her. Wasn't this the top-grade man, Qianqian, Lin Anjie, whom she had met on a blind date back then?
