"This is it!"

Jiang Yunxian could not help but snap his fingers, "It seems like yesterday's inspiration was not in vain. Chu Li, your works have really made my eyes light up, each time more outstanding than the last!"

After an entire night of design, when she was praised and finalized for the competition, Chu Li felt very happy. It didn't matter if she stayed up all night, after all, as a designer, the most important thing was to get the script approved.

"Since the works for the competition have already been decided, I think that the four pieces from before should be used as the main source of cash for the women's clothing brands under Huang Tian. It is definitely enough to attract attention."

Jiang Yunxian, who had been staring at the design for a long time, seemed to be excited, but was also curious by his speculation about Chu Li's state of mind. Such a bright and adorned dress actually hid a deep and dark loss, and also an unfathomable sense of distance, which reminded him of her last marriage.

Although she was married, Jiang Yunxian also knew that Chu Li was a victim from the beginning to the end. This was probably the main reason that caused her to be so confused.

"Then... "For the time being, there's not much work to do. You should go to work according to your usual schedule and not put too much pressure on yourself. Otherwise, I might be seen by everyone as the evil boss who opposes his employees."

Jiang Yunxian's witty words amused Chu. Luckily, he didn't continue to look at her with probing eyes. Even she was surprised that the inspiration for this work came from her conversation with Yang Le Le, which had something to do with her boss.

"Alright."

Chu Li hurried out of the CEO's office. Everything seemed normal to her, but there was a sense of restlessness in the air. Perhaps it had something to do with the meeting they had had in the washroom at the Western Restaurant.

In order to restore peace of mind, Chu Lue carefully combed her hair and strode to her cubicle.

It was a temporary relief to hand in his work, but Chu was still going to review the paintings of the Royal Sky Designers as usual. After all, in the position of chief designer, he had to do some of the things that chief designers should do.

"I can understand your idea, but you might be a bit too confused. For designers, inspiration and skill are two essential things, especially when it comes to making a work that is set by a theme. You need inspiration the most, but you can't treat inspiration as everything, nor can you let too much inspiration confuse the theme and steal the master."

The designer Xiao Xu stood quietly by the side, listening attentively.

Chu Li swallowed his saliva. His throat was parched, and he was thirsty. This was the first draft of the design that he had reviewed for the day. Even though she was tired, she still maintained a strict and meticulous attitude.

"For example, with the current color combination, the impact of cold and warm tones is indeed very attractive, but if you express it too much, you won't be able to see what you really mean. We don't want many highlights, because there are many times when there are too many bright spots that turn into nothing. Your work as a whole is great, but you should think carefully about what I said and believe that it will become even better …"

After a round of analysis and explanation, Chu Li's mouth was parched and his tongue dried up. He gulped down the entire cup of water.

The designer Xiao Xu seemed to be lost in thought, his eyes filled with admiration, "Right, I think what you said is very reasonable. In fact, when I finished the painting myself, I also felt that there was something lacking, but in the end, it's not enough. Now with your suggestion, I'm truly enlightened!"

"This is probably called listening to Jun's words, it's better than ten drafts!" Xiao Xu said excitedly: "As expected, I really need to cultivate! "Rest assured boss, I will follow your suggestion and make changes. I hope that I can learn more useful things from you!"

Looking at Xu's solemn expression, Chu Li felt that Xiao Xu was a little cute, especially the title of "Eldest Brother", which gave him an indescribable sense of loveliness.

"I'm very happy if you approve of my words. Of course, you can also have your own subjective judgment and preferences. If you have any better ideas, you can exchange them with me at any time, and …"

While Chu Li was speaking, the mobile phone on the table started to vibrate. Someone was calling.

"It's fine, you take it first! I'll just wait a minute. " Xiao Xu grinned.

"Thank you."

According to Chu Li's usual habit, he would not pick up the phone at this time of year. But this time, she caught a glimpse of the caller's name on the screen. It was her mother.

"Hello, Sis. Is that you? I am Chu Lan! Come back now, Dad... Dad was hospitalized because he was sick. The doctor said there was blood in his brain and he needed a craniotomy! "But Mom and I can't gather that much money right now, so hurry up and come back …"

With a loud bang, Chu Li even thought that she was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage. Her brother rarely called back, and since it was not a rest time, it meant that he was really busy. Through the phone, Chu Li could still hear the crowd coming and going, someone calling for the doctor and nurse, and even someone crying.

"Mom!" Mom! Don't scare me! I was just calling my sister and she'll be back soon. Can you hold on for a while? "Dad will definitely be fine …"

'Hey, Chu Lan? "Chu Lan!"

There was no sound coming from the phone. Chu Li didn't have time to think about it, so she quickly picked up her bag and asked Xiao Xu while holding back her tears, "Xiao Xu, aside from urgent matters in my house, I need to hurry back right now. Please help me ask for a leave of absence, I'm too late!"

"Sigh …"

Without waiting for Xu to ask, Chu Li ran out of the room. Before she could turn around, a single tear fell from her eyes.

What was going on? Chu Li didn't dare to think too much into it. From Chu Lan's voice, he knew that it was all very serious and true. Moreover, a second before he hung up the phone, had his mother fainted? Or did something happen?

His mind was blank. He got into the elevator and got out. During that time, Chu Li called his home number several times, but no one answered.

She thought it was the signal, so she stamped on the side of the road to try again, but this time it was off.

The most important thing so far is to get home in the shortest time possible, so that we can find out what's really going on. Chu Li waved her hand vigorously to stop the taxi as she prayed, a strong feeling of heartache filling her heart.

One, two, three, four cars went by, each full of customers, each one swishing past Chu Li in an unrestrained manner. Two of them purposely made the shrill sound of a siren, which made Chu Li's sensitive nerves feel even more nervous and helpless.

To the patient, time was life! Chu Li didn't know what was waiting for him there. Father, there was hope, right? Although he could not agree with his father in many ways, he was not so bad as to be intolerable when he thought about it. After all, they were close relatives, and there was a bond between them that was difficult to separate from the beginning.

But a lot of the time, good luck happens when you're in a hurry. He's been standing by the road for a few minutes, and he hasn't found a taxi.

In the CEO's office at this moment, Jiang Yunxian looked at Xiao Xu in surprise. "Did she say what exactly was the matter?"

"I don't know exactly what happened, but I heard something. It must be her family called, as if they were talking about someone being hospitalized and that Chu Li was about to cry when she ran out …"

"Alright, I understand. You go back first."

Jiang Yunxian frowned and spoke with a serious tone. As soon as Little Xu left the house, he immediately took his car keys and went out as well.

"The phone you dialed is in progress …"

"The phone you dialed is in progress …"

After calling twice without being able to get through to Chu Li's phone, Jiang Yunxian had no choice but to give up and head out.

From afar, he saw a familiar figure standing by the roadside, holding onto a taxi with both hands. From time to time, he anxiously looked at his phone as if he was making a call.

"Get in the car quickly!"

Through the rolled down window, Chu Li could see Jiang Yunxian's face, but he didn't have the leisure to chat with him right now. Could it be that he had another project to find inspiration in?

"Has Little Xu asked for a leave of absence yet? "I have urgent matters to attend to, so I …"

"That's why I told you to get in the car." Jiang Yunxian quickly urged, "Aren't you very anxious? How long would it take to wait for a taxi like this? I'll send you off! "

Chu Li was truly shocked by Jiang Yunxian's words. She didn't quite believe him, but when she looked carefully, Jiang Yunxian's expression was very serious, and it didn't seem like he was joking.

"But …"

Seeing Chu Li's hesitant and embarrassed look, Jiang Yunxian was speechless, "No, but, I don't know what you are worried about. Is it because there is an urgent matter at home?" Why don't you turn to me for help? I told you! It will ensure the health and safety of the staff. If you don't take the initiative to look for me when you have something to do, does it mean that you don't trust my performance? Or do you not think well of my strength? "

"No …"

"If that's not the case, then hurry up and get in the car. How long are you going to stay here and wave goodbye? If you don't get a taxi within half an hour, do you want to wait here for half an hour? "

Jiang Yunxian's words made it impossible to refute. Chu Li's hand that was waving in the air hung down stiffly, and he got on the car gratefully.

"Is the call connected? Which hospital exactly? "

Chu Li was stunned for a moment before realizing that there were a few missed calls from Jiang Yunxian, "It didn't connect. Maybe the situation is a bit serious right now, so they don't have the time to take the call …" However, there's only one big hospital in town, so … "

"As long as you know the location, then just fasten your seat belt. I will drive there as fast as I can." Jiang Yunxian looked at Chu Li with a serious and sincere expression in his eyes. Chu Li's slightly trembling hands had just been imprinted into his pupils.
