Chapter 392 Everything Will Go Smoothly
For the next month, I continued working 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 already been set up, and a red banner hung high with the words "Urban Renewal Project Commencement Ceremony" written on it.
Flower baskets lined both sides of the stage, and a faint fragrance filled the air. Workers, dressed in neat uniforms and with smiles on their faces, busily carried out the final preparations.
Jiang Yichen walked over and handed me a cup of coffee: "Nervous?"
I took the coffee and smiled, "A little, after all, this is the first time we've been in charge of such a big project on our own."
He gently patted my shoulder: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
The ceremony officially began, with the host enthusiastically introducing the project's background and significance. Afterwards, Jiang Yichen and I, as project leaders, were invited to speak on stage. Standing before the microphone, looking at the crowd below, I felt a little nervous, but mostly excited.
"Distinguished guests, good afternoon. Today is the groundbreaking ceremony for our urban renewal project. Thank you all for coming. This project is not only the result of our team's hard work, 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 our residents..."
As soon as I finished speaking, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Jiang Yichen then spoke, 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 speeches, the ribbon-cutting ceremony officially began. Jiang Yichen and I stood in the center of the stage, scissors in hand. As the host counted down, we simultaneously cut the red ribbon. Fireworks burst in the air, and colorful ribbons fluttered down, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.
However, at this joyous moment, unexpected events followed one after another.
The ceremony had barely ended when I received an urgent call from the head of the design team. His voice was panicked: "Ms. Gu, something's happened! Our chief designer, Engineer Wang, has suddenly fallen seriously ill and has just been taken to the hospital!"
My heart sank, and my grip on the phone tightened involuntarily: "How's it going? Where are the design drawings?"
"Engineer Wang suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and is still in critical condition. The design drawings... the key parts of the design drawings are not yet completed. The rest of our team do not have a sufficient understanding of the core concepts of the project, so it will probably be difficult for us to take over in the short term..."
"What?!" Without time to think, she said, "Don't worry, I'm coming right away."
After hanging up the phone, I immediately contacted the designers who had been eliminated and worked quickly to deal with this unexpected situation.
He was standing by the stage, exchanging pleasantries with several guests, a relaxed smile on his face after the ceremony.
I walked over quickly, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Song Yang, something's happened. Engineer Wang suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and the design drawings aren't finished yet."
Song Yang's smile froze instantly, his eyes sharpening: "What? How is Engineer Wang now?"
"They're still trying to salvage it, and the situation is unclear." I lowered my voice and spoke urgently. "Crucial parts of the design are missing, and the rest of the team can't take over for the time being. The project may have to be delayed."
Song Yang's face immediately darkened, and his brows furrowed: "This is no small matter. If the design drawings don't meet the approval deadline, the entire project will have to come to a standstill."
He quickly pulled out his phone, scrolling through his contacts as he said, "You go to the design team and stabilize the situation first. I'll contact a few experienced designers right away and see if we can temporarily send some over to help."
I nodded, feeling a little more at ease: "Okay, I'll be right there. Let me know as soon as you have any updates."
Song Yang patted my shoulder and said firmly, "Don't panic, we'll figure something out together, we can always solve it."
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the side to make a phone call.
Now that I've discovered something's wrong, I can still rely on him. Looking at his focused back, I felt a little relieved.
I hurried towards the design team's office, my heart still pounding with anxiety. Wang, the project's core designer, was undoubtedly a huge blow. While Song Yang's reaction was swift, it remained uncertain whether the temporarily assigned designer could grasp the project's core concepts in such a short time.
Pushing open the office door, I found the design team members huddled together, their faces etched with anxiety and unease. I took a deep breath and stepped 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, a glimmer of hope in her eyes: "Ms. Gu, is there any news from President Song?"
I nodded: "Song Yang is already contacting other designers, and we will find support as soon as possible. Before that, let's organize Wang Gong's previous design ideas and unfinished parts, and discuss them together to try to improve the design in the shortest possible time."
The team members looked at each other, nodded, and got to work. I walked to the whiteboard, picked up a pen, and began to outline the core design concepts of the project. Although I was still unsure, I knew I had to stabilize the situation and not let everyone lose confidence.
Not long after, Song Yang pushed open the door and walked in, his face showing a hint of fatigue, but his eyes remained firm: "I've contacted a few designers, and they can come to help first thing tomorrow morning. In addition, I've also contacted a few design companies to see if we can outsource some of the work."
I breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a grateful look: "That's great, having support makes things much easier."
Song Yang walked over to me and said in a low voice, "However, time is still tight, and we'll all have to work overtime today."
For the next few days, Song Yang and I practically lived in the design team's office. Starting with the core positioning of the project, we communicated repeatedly with the designers, refining every design detail. We discussed plans during the day, revised drawings at night, and when we were tired, we would take a nap on the sofa and then continue working 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 opinions, which made Xu Sisi and me a little unbelievable. We thought he was just a second young master who studied abroad, but we didn't expect him to be able to stand up for us at the critical moment.
That day, Song Yang walked up to Xu Sisi and said with a touch of emotion, "Yes, this time it's all thanks to everyone's hard work."
“Yes,” Xu Sisi replied softly.
I smiled and said, "This is a victory we've achieved together. We still have many tough battles to fight, but as long as we're together, there's nothing to be afraid of."
