Chapter 63: The Design Sketches Was Destroyed

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Shu Pan has been busy with her work recently, leaving her with little time to think too much about other matters.

Finally, she finished her designs, letting out a sigh of relief. As she was about to head home, the office door was knocked. She looked up and saw MO Qing, someone she wasn’t particularly familiar with. She couldn’t understand why MO Qing had come to her.

“Is there something you need?” Shu Pan asked. She was quite perceptive, and she always felt an unexplainable hostility from MO Qing, especially during meetings, where MO Qing often contradicted her.

“Oh, it’s nothing.” MO Qing shrugged and entered the office, taking a seat.

Shu Pan glanced at her and continued packing her things. She said in a calm tone, “I’m leaving.”

MO Qing wasn’t angered by her attitude. She sat on the chair, looking at her newly manicured nails, and casually asked, “Have you finished your design sketches?”

“Yes, didn’t you finish yours too?” Shu Pan didn’t believe that MO Qing was just concerned about her design sketches.

“Of course. Sister Shu, do you know Mr. Su? Are you close with him?” MO Qing asked, probing.

“Not very familiar. Why?” Shu Pan replied simply.

“Never mind. Let’s wait and see tomorrow, Sister Shu.” MO Qing stood up, swaying her graceful figure as she left.

Not long after Shu Pan left, a figure swiftly entered her office.

The company’s meeting room was filled with engineering and technical staff. Su Yuan sat at the main seat, with Director He Guoping sitting next to him.

“We can begin,” Su Yuan nodded.

“Sure.” MO Qing was the first to present.

Her design sketches had delicate lines and harmonious colors, offering a fresh perspective and capturing the concept of home perfectly.

As she spoke about her designs, He Guoping nodded repeatedly.

Then it was Shu Pan’s turn. She opened her computer, inserted a USB drive, but on the projection screen, there was nothing. Shu Pan furrowed her brows slightly and murmured to herself, “What’s going on?”

“I’m sorry, please wait a moment.” After a while, Shu Pan’s expression became anxious, her voice slightly trembling. Her fingers were searching rapidly for something.

She felt that something was off, but she genuinely couldn’t find the design sketches. She apologized to the people present, saying, “I’m sorry, the design sketches… are missing.”

Meanwhile, she persisted, staring at the computer screen in a mix of desperation and panic. No matter how she searched, she couldn’t find the design sketches. She had scanned them into the computer after completing the initial drafts. But now, there wasn’t enough time to deal with this, especially considering the tight project schedule.

“How could they be missing?” Su Yuan, seeing her anxious state, couldn’t help but ask. The people present felt that something was off and started discussing in low voices, but nobody dared to question too loudly with Su Yuan present.

Such incidents had never occurred before. Every time Shu Pan finished a design, she would scan it into the computer and make backups. But now, they were gone.

Her mind was in chaos at the moment. She bit her lip. All she could do was speak with a strained voice, “I’m not sure what happened. I checked thoroughly before leaving last night.”

“Sister Shu, could it be that you didn’t finish the design, or you lack inspiration? How could such important design sketches just vanish? Fortunately, we’re still in the proposal phase, not in the final draft or construction stage. Otherwise, how much time would be wasted?” MO Qing had been waiting for an opportunity to speak, and now she finally could.

Ever since she joined the company, everyone considered Shu Pan a prodigy, and her designs were well-received by clients. No matter how hard she tried, she always came up short in comparison.

Shu Pan took a deep breath and steadied her emotions. Then, she returned to the front of the projection screen, facing the audience, and bowed slightly. “I’m sorry, my design sketches are missing. I can’t show them to you.”

Her voice had just fallen, and the meeting room was already buzzing with discussions..
