"I've been waiting for you for a long time..." In the chilling, bone-deep darkness of the night, Jiang Yichen, with bloodshot eyes, took from me.
He was my driver, and also my liv...
Chapter 392 Everything Will Go Well
For the next month, I worked in the office as usual, waiting for the project to start.
Finally, the day of the groundbreaking ceremony arrived.
That morning, I arrived at the construction site early. A temporary stage had been set up on the site, with a red banner hanging high, with the words "Urban Renewal Project Groundbreaking Ceremony" written on it.
Flower baskets were placed on both sides of the stage, and the air was filled with a faint floral scent. The workers, wearing neat work clothes and smiling, were busy making the final preparations.
Jiang Yichen came over and handed me a cup of coffee: "Are you nervous?"
I took the coffee and smiled: "A little bit, after all, this is the first time we are responsible for such a large project independently."
He patted my shoulder gently: "Don't worry, everything will go well."
The ceremony officially began, and the host enthusiastically introduced the background and significance of the project. Then, Jiang Yichen and I, as project leaders, were invited to speak on stage. I stood in front of the microphone, looking at the crowd below, feeling a little nervous, but more excited.
“Hello, everyone. Today is the groundbreaking ceremony for our urban renewal project. Thank you all for coming. This project is not only the effort of our team, but also the expectation of the entire city. We hope that through this project, we can bring new vitality to the city and create a better living environment for residents…”
As soon as I finished speaking, there was warm applause from the audience. Jiang Yichen continued to speak, his voice steady and powerful, full of confidence: "We promise that we will complete this project to the highest standards and live up to everyone's expectations."
After the speech, the ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began. Jiang Yichen and I stood in the center of the stage, holding scissors in our hands, and as the host counted down, we cut the red ribbon at the same time. Fireworks bloomed in the air, and ribbons fluttered down, and the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax.
However, at this festive moment, accidents happened one after another.
As soon as the ceremony ended, I received an urgent call from the head of the design team. The voice on the other end of the phone was a little panicked: "Ms. Gu, something happened! Chief Designer Wang Gong suddenly became seriously ill and was just sent to the hospital!"
My heart sank, and my hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously: "What's the situation? Where's the design?"
"Engineer Wang suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and is still being rescued. The design drawings... the key parts of the design drawings have not been completed. Other members of our team do not understand the core concept of the project well enough, so it may be difficult for us to take over in a short period of time..."
What? There was no time to think: "Don't worry, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, I immediately contacted the designer who was eliminated before and rushed to deal with this emergency.
He was standing next to the stage and greeting several guests, with a relaxed smile on his face as if the ceremony was over.
I walked over quickly, pulled his sleeve, and whispered, "Song Yang, something happened. Engineer Wang had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and the design drawings are not yet completed."
Song Yang's smile froze instantly, and his eyes became sharp: "What? How is Mr. Wang now?"
"We are still trying to save him, the situation is unclear." I lowered my voice and spoke in a hurried tone, "A key part of the design is missing, and the rest of the team can't take over for a while, so the project may be delayed."
Song Yang's face suddenly darkened, and his brows knitted tightly: "This is no small matter. If the design drawings cannot meet the approval deadline, the entire project will have to be suspended."
He quickly took out his phone and said while flipping through his contacts: "Go to the design team first to stabilize the situation. I'll contact a few experienced designers right away to see if we can temporarily transfer them over for support."
I nodded, feeling a little more at ease: "Okay, I'll be there right away. Keep me informed if you have any news."
Song Yang patted my shoulder and said firmly: "Don't panic, we can work together to find a solution."
After saying that, he turned aside and started making a phone call.
Now that I found out that he was still leaning on me when something happened, I felt a little relieved as I looked at his focused back.
I walked quickly to the design team's office, but I was still nervous. Engineer Wang was the core designer of the project, and his absence was undoubtedly a huge blow. Although Song Yang responded quickly, it was still unknown whether the temporary designer could understand the core concept of the project in a short period of time.
When I opened the office door, I saw the design team members gathered together, their faces full of anxiety and uneasiness. I took a deep breath and walked forward: "Everyone, I understand the situation. Now is not the time to panic. We must find a solution as soon as possible."
The team leader looked up with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Ms. Gu, is there any news from Mr. Song?"
I nodded. "Song Yang is already contacting other designers. We will find support as soon as possible. Before that, let's sort out Engineer Wang's previous design ideas and unfinished parts. Let's discuss together and try to complete the design drawings in the shortest possible time."
The team members looked at each other, nodded, and started to get busy. I walked to the whiteboard, picked up a pen, and began to sort out the core design concepts of the project. Although I was still unsure, I knew that I had to stabilize the situation and not let everyone lose confidence.
Not long after, Song Yang pushed the door open and walked in, with a trace of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still firm: "I have contacted several designers, and they will be able to come to support early tomorrow morning. In addition, I have also contacted several design companies to see if some of the work can be outsourced."
I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him gratefully: "Great, it will be much easier with support."
Song Yang walked up to me and whispered, "However, time is still very tight, and everyone has to work overtime together today."
In the next few days, Song Yang and I almost lived in the design team's office. Starting from the core positioning of the project, we communicated with the designers repeatedly to refine every design detail. We discussed the plan during the day and revised the drawings at night. When we were tired, we took a nap on the sofa and continued to work when we woke up.
This time, he not only coordinated external resources, but also personally participated in the design discussions and put forward many constructive suggestions, which made Xu Sisi and I feel a little bit surprised. We thought he was just a young master who studied abroad, but we didn't expect him to be able to stand up at the critical moment.
That day, Song Yang walked up to Xu Sisi and said with some emotion, "Yes, this time it's all thanks to everyone's efforts."
"Yes." Xu Sisi responded softly.
I smiled and said, "This is our common victory. We still have many tough battles to fight, but as long as we are together, there is nothing to be afraid of."
