As soon as He Ming saw that it was Gu Shaoting, he was a bit surprised and asked, “Didn’t you say you didn’t have time to come over?”
“Just passing by, so I thought I’d take a look. Has the designer arrived?” Gu Shaoting walked around the villa.
“Just left a moment ago. Did you happen to see someone you know on your way here?” He Ming asked tentatively.
“Who? I didn’t see anyone,” Gu Shaoting replied absentmindedly.
“In fact, I just found out recently that the effect sketch you liked was drawn by Shu Pan,” He Ming said discreetly, glancing at Gu Shaoting from the corner of
his eye.
Gu Shaoting was momentarily stunned and remained silent for a long time. To conceal his surprise, he eventually asked, “Who? Shu Pan?”
“Yes, how about it? Do you mind?” He Ming was uncertain about what Gu Shaoting was thinking.
“What’s there to mind? It doesn’t matter who does it, as long as they do a good job,” Gu Shaoting pretended to be nonchalant.
“That’s good then.” He Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Gu Shaoting would object.
“That’s good then.” He Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Gu Shaoting would object.
To meet his standards might seem simple, but it was not easy at all. However, based on his personality, He Ming believed that Gu Shaoting did not want to see Shu Pan, so he was genuinely surprised by his response.
“Great, then please follow up on this. I’ll come by when I have the time,” Gu Shaoting, unusually invested in the matter, said.
He Ming gave him a strange look.
He Ming informed Shu Pan and conveyed Gu Shaoting’s intentions, which also surprised Shu Pan.
She had assumed that Gu Shaoting would be the last person to want to see her, especially since she was encroaching on his territory. However, she was not one to hold grudges unnecessarily, and to her, he was now a stranger.
So she promised He Ming that she would do her best with the design to put Mr. Guts mind at ease.
After days of continuous discussions with He Ming on the design sketches, they mostly reached a consensus. All that remained was to proceed with construction according to the drawings.
Fortunately, Shu Pan was not worried about Gu Shaoting ultimately disapproving of the design sketches, because He Ming would always ensure that Gu Shaoting had the final say during their discussions.
Once the drawings were approved, construction began in earnest.
As a designer, Shu Pan had to constantly explain some details to the construction workers to achieve the best results.
However, luckily for her, Gu Shaoting never showed up on-site during her visits, avoiding any awkward encounters.
After another busy day at the villa construction site and her office, Shu Pan looked exhausted. Her face appeared even more slender.
Finally, it was time to go home. At noon, Wen Chi called her to arrange dinner plans, and she figured he must be waiting outside by now.
She quickly packed her things and clocked out on time.
“Shu Pan, why the rush? Are you going on a date?” Some colleagues teased her because she was usually the last to leave. Her behavior today was indeed unusual.
“Don’t make things up.” Shu Pan replied casually as she headed towards the exit.
Sure enough, she spotted Wen Chi’s car parked on the opposite side of the company’s street from a distance. She maneuvered past the passing vehicles and lightly tapped on the car window.
Wen Chi understood and opened the car door. As soon as Shu Pan got in, Wen Chi fixed his gaze on her, as if there was something dirty on her face.
Shu Pan couldn’t help but touch her face. “What’s wrong?”
Wen Chi finally snapped out of it, somewhat incredulous, and replied, “Is your company mistreating its employees? How come I haven’t seen you for just a few days, and you’ve become so thin? Are you pushing yourself too hard? Is your company down to just one employee?”
