Chapter 540: Anyone Who Dared to Touch Her Would Be His Enemy

For a moment, it was palpable to all present that although Mo Jingshen didn’t speak, his unfathomable eyes and the cold smile on his face showed that Ji Nuan was his woman. Anyone who dared to touch her would be his enemy.
Seeing this, the leaders of the municipal government dared not say anything to Ji Nuan. One of them looked at Dane and asked, “Dane? Aren’t you the signed designer of Shine Group? How can the MN Group’s plan have anything to do with you?”
Dane said with a smile as he raised his hand in embarrassment and stroked his blond hair, “The stadium project is a cooperation between both companies. I have known CEO Ji since we were in Britain. Although Shine Group didn’t participate in the planning this time, the two companies have a cooperative relationship, so the company sent me to make the plan together with the planning department of MN Group. There was no such design drawing in the original plan, but I was suddenly inspired and added such a design.”
Standing beside Dane, Ji Nuan didn’t speak. After all, she didn’t expect such a change. She didn’t know what Dane would do next, so she thought she’d better remain silent.
“Well... inspired?” The leader looked at the design drawing suspiciously. He didn’t think it could have come from Dane in any way.
“Could you please give me the drawing first?” Dane turned his eyes to Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan handed him the drawing silently.
He took it and looked at it for a while. Standing nearest to him, she could tell from his eyes that it was the first time he had seen the drawing, but it only took him a few seconds before he smiled very calmly. “This is indeed my design, but it is only a temporary record of inspiration. It is not finished yet. Maybe a colleague in the planning department thought that I had finished the drawing, so he sent it directly to the constructor. Fortunately, my later design can be added to the initial model, which will not affect the project.”
With that, Dane turned to Ji Nuan. “CEO Ji, do you have a pen?”
At every meeting, Ji Nuan would put a pen in her bag in case of need. She took the pen out and handed it to him.
1“Thanks.” Dane smiled at her, took the pen and made a few random strokes on the paper
As Ji Nuan looked on, Dane added a touch of ingenuity to what had looked like an ordinary, wide, cylindrical building. This was a building in a stadium, so it didn’t need to be too grandiose. He just added a few simple strokes, but almost every stroke could play to make the finishing point, so that the seemingly redundant original building suddenly became no longer redundant, and its use had become very clever. Ji Nuan looked at the drawing in amazement. Even without Dane’s explanation, she had already been marveled by the clever design.
Dane deserved to be an internationally famous designer. No wonder Shine Group chose to sign a contract with him.
There were many talents in this world, each with their own skill, but not many of them could be favored by Mo Jingshen. Ji Nuan could now see what Dane was capable of.
In less than five minutes, Dane had finished the drawing. The five minutes were neither long nor short. If it had not been for Mo Jingshen’s presence, the leaders probably would not have had the patience to wait, but because of his presence, they waited quietly and no one spoke.
Dane flipped the drawing back on its head and showed the city leaders the new drawing. “This is my final design. This cylindrical object is just the base of an Olympic sculpture, on which I will invite an internationally renowned master sculptor I know to make a statue. There will be small waterspouts/water fountain on either side of the statue, and a circular indoor stadium pool will be added below, which will be right at the entrance to the stadium. There is a saying in China that when water comes, it’s clear; when fire comes, it’s bright. And it’s believed in fengshui that water brings fortune. In a word, any design with a water element in this location is very good in terms of fengshui, and I was suddenly inspired by this idea. But the people in the planning department moved too fast. Fortunately, this design can be used as the base, which will not affect the other part of the project.”
“Although this design is very reasonable, it was suddenly added, and both the construction bureau and we haven’t been informed, nor have you discussed with any other government department about it. You sent the drawings directly to the constructor without authorization, resulting in the diversion of time and energy which delayed the progress of the whole project. How do you explain that?” One of the leaders read the new design drawing and asked Ji Nuan, “CEO Ji, the MN Group has never acted so rashly. What happened this time?”
Ji Nuan stood still in the lounge, her fingers slightly tapping the bag in her hand. She looked calm and unruffled, a smile her face while her eyes were cold. “It is really our company’s fault that we hired too many interns to the planning department this year, leading to some important work and communications jobs to be taken by interns. Fortunately, this drawing was made by Dane, who is a genius in design. His Midas touch-like design helps me make up for this mistake. However, this responsibility should be taken up by MN Group. All the costs arising from the added and missed work will be borne by MN Group, so as to compensate for the losses these days. What do you think?”
In fact, the leaders had already approved the design scheme of Dane, but these people needed “face,” and MN Group—who seemed not to take the government leaders seriously—was in the wrong in the first place. If she didn’t voluntarily admit her mistake and take all the blame, the impact of this matter on the MN group would only be greater.
After all, Dane had solved the problem of the design drawing, and now what Ji Nuan needed to do was to gain the government’s forgiveness. It was only tens of millions of yuan, which was already the lowest loss for this accident. Ji Nuan could show her sincerity and make the leaders of the government satisfied by paying this money.
Of course, the premise was that the MN Group didn’t have any bad intentions. It was just its hidden competitor who set this trap.
Being where they were today, these leaders were certainly not fools, and they could guess the real reason behind this. Now with Dane’s help, the biggest problem had been solved.
