Since Liang Feifan had instructed her to sort out the design sketches today, Bai Lu went straight to the CEO's office as soon as she arrived at the company.
He had probably left in a hurry yesterday, so there was a lot of information on his desk that had not been sorted out.
Bai Lu patiently sorted out all the information and finally sorted out the design sketches. However, when she saw the drawing at the top, she paused.
In fact, it was a very good concept design, but she always felt that it lacked the finishing touch.
Unknowingly, she had already bent down and looked at the design carefully. In the end, she suddenly thought of something. She picked up a pen from the side and made some changes on the rightmost part of the design.
She still adhered to the idea from yesterday. She felt that a design that was too conservative would appear very mediocre, so she changed the original square design on the drawing into an oval shape.
With just a few strokes, the cold and hard feeling disappeared.
Bai Lu smiled. She was admiring the design sketches in her hands when the office door was suddenly pushed open and she heard steady footsteps.
"Mr Liang..."
Didn't he go to City C? Why was he suddenly here?
Liang Feifan looked at Bai Lu's panicked expression and frowned.
Was he that scary? Did she have to be so scared that she didn't dare to take a step closer to him every time she saw him? Or did she have such a panicked expression on her face as though he was some kind of scourge?
"Are you that nervous to see me?" He raised his brows and walked towards the desk step by step.
Bai Lu quickly hid the design sketches behind her back and forced herself to calm down. "... No."
She paused and quickly changed the topic. "Mr Liang, aren't you going to City C today?"
"Yeah, something came up, so I had to cancel it."
Liang Feifan reached out to loosen his tie and sat down in his office chair. When he looked up, he saw Bai Lu hiding her hands behind her back. She looked nervous as though she had gotten into trouble.
"Secretary Bai, what are you hiding behind your back?"
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. He shook his head. "No, no …"
If he knew that he had changed the design without permission, he would definitely fly into a rage, right?
It's all my fault. Why didn't I control myself just now?
Bai Lu, you really have nothing better to do!
She cursed herself while thinking about how to deal with Liang Feifan. "Mr Liang, then … then I'll go make you a cup of coffee."
"Wait."
Bai Lu could only stand there.
Liang Feifan tapped two fingers on the desk casually. "Give me your hands."
Bai Lu knew that Liang Feifan was not easy to fool, but she still wanted to make a last-ditch effort. She pursed her lips and shook her head. "… Mr Liang, it's really nothing."
"You're acting as if you're trying to hide something. Did you steal something from me?" He didn't look like he was forcing her, and his tone was slightly relaxed. Especially when he saw how she was evading his gaze, the corners of his mouth curled up. "If you really like something here, just tell me and I'll give it to you. Don't be so sneaky, okay? "
Bai Lu bit her lip. She knew that she couldn't hide it anymore. She took out the design she had hidden behind her back. "… I didn't steal anything. It's just … I accidentally made a few strokes on this design. I was afraid that Mr Liang would be unhappy, so I …"
Before she could finish speaking, the design in her hand was already taken away by him.
Liang Feifan only used his index and middle fingers to hold the design. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at it. Naturally, he saw the part that she had changed. He looked at her with a half-smile. "I remember you said yesterday that you weren't up to the task. How do you feel now, okay? "
Bai Lu's cheeks blushed slightly.
At this point, it would be too pretentious of her to continue being coy. Anyway, she had already fixed the design. What was there to be afraid of?
She mustered her courage. "Mr Liang, I think that this kind of modification will make the design look less stiff."
"I want to know now. How many points do you think you'll get after the modification?" He cupped his chin with his hand and looked at her calmly. He seemed to be looking forward to the score she was going to give.
Bai Lu was a little embarrassed. She stuttered for a long time before snorting softly. "… 70 points."
Liang Feifan glanced at her. After a moment, he raised his eyebrows and handed the design to her. "Since it's 70 points, go back and modify it. When you think it's a perfect score, you can hand it to me."
Bai Lu didn't know what the mysterious man was up to at all.
Was he … not blaming her for changing the design without permission?
And he even wanted her to continue modifying it?
She hesitated for a moment and did not reach out to take the design. "Mr Liang, I …"
"Do you always like to give up halfway?" Liang Feifan seemed to know what she was going to say, so he interrupted her bluntly. "Take this. Since you've already modified it, do you expect me to help you finish the rest?"
Bai Lu was very surprised. She reached out to take the design. She thought for a moment before asking cautiously, "Mr Liang, do you want me to modify the entire design according to my own ideas?"
"I don't have the habit of taking over other people's half-finished work."
Liang Feifan had already buried his head in the documents beside him. He did not seem to blame her for changing the design without permission. On the contrary, he allowed her to do as she pleased. Bai Lu was surprised. She was even more flattered.
"Secretary Bai." Liang Feifan raised his eyebrows when he saw that she did not respond for a long time. He knocked on the table again and said gravely, "Don't just stand there. Go back to work. Also, bring this design to me tomorrow. Do you understand? "
Bai Lu came back to her senses. She felt like she was dreaming.
She couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her thigh … It hurts!
It's not a dream …
Liang Feifan really gave her a chance.
"Thank you, Mr Liang." She suppressed the excitement in her heart and clutched the design tightly in the palm of her hand.
People needed to have their own dreams in order to feel that their life was complete.
All these years, she had been working as a secretary. She thought that she had lost her passion for design. However, Liang Feifan's simple words stirred up the soul that had long dried up in the depths of her heart.
It turned out that she was not willing to be mediocre.
When Bai Lu left Liang Feifan's office, she was still a little excited. She was in this state the whole day. Even the dizziness she had been feeling for the past few days seemed to have disappeared in an instant. Her work efficiency was exceptionally high that day. During her break, she specially browsed many websites to look at award-winning designs in recent years. She also ordered a few books online.
Before she got off work, Bai Lu went to Liang Feifan's office as usual. The moment she entered, she saw that he was about to leave.
She hurried forward. "Mr Liang, if there's nothing else, I'm going to get off work."
Liang Feifan glanced at her and said indifferently, "I'm working overtime today."
"Working overtime?" She didn't seem to have a lot of work on hand recently. Moreover, she had already finished most of her work. Why would she need to work overtime?
"I'm going to meet someone. You're coming with me." Liang Feifan reached out to adjust his suit jacket and walked towards the office door with his long legs. "Let's go."
Bai Lu thought that Liang Feifan was bringing her to socialize. She had learned her lesson from getting drunk two months ago. She had even mentally prepared herself. No matter how difficult the person was to deal with tonight, she definitely wouldn't let herself get drunk again.
However, she didn't expect that the person Liang Feifan was bringing her to meet would be a famous architect in City A.
Buck。
Bai Lu had already heard of this man's name when she was studying. She only knew that he was a loner and kept a very low profile. Back then, he had built three villas on the top of the mountain in City A, and all of them were sold at sky-high prices.
At that time, he was simply all the rage. The media fought to be the first to dig up information about this man, but in the end, they rejoiced in vain.
He was too low-profile, and it was said that he didn't like to show his face. Therefore, even the omnipotent Internet only showed his side profile in photos.
Bai Lu admired this man very much at that time, but she only knew his English name. She didn't even know his full name.
What she didn't expect was that she would have the fortune to see this man's true face.
The man looked very evil, but his temperament seemed to be lazy. However, his face was so pale that it seemed to be bloodless. Even his lips were extremely pale.
He sat in front of her without saying a word, making people feel that he was a handsome statue. Under his ink-black eyebrows were a pair of slender eyes, and his eyes were green.
Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the famous Buck was actually a mixed-race!
Probably because he noticed that she was impudently sizing him up, the man's originally lowered eyelids suddenly raised. That pair of green eyes seemed to be quenched with ice, and it was so cold that it penetrated Bai Lu's bones and blood.
She lowered her eyelids in a panic.
"Cheng, since when do you like to bring a burden with you when you go out?" The man suddenly spoke in a sarcastic tone. His voice was very pleasant, like the sound of a bass with excellent sound quality.
Bai Lu's face turned red, and she only felt embarrassed for a moment.
It was said that artists had the strangest temperaments, and with a big shot like Buck, it must be even worse.
She had been sizing him up so brazenly just now. Was it considered disrespectful to him?
He must be unhappy …
Bai Lu bit her lip and was about to apologize, but Liang Feifan was one step ahead of her.
He gently tapped the wall of the glass with his finger and said calmly, "She's an employee of my company. She's from the same company as you."
Bai Lu was shocked and turned to look at Liang Feifan in surprise.
The contours of his side profile were perfect and deep. The orange light above his head shone down, making his originally three-dimensional facial features even more charming.
He didn't introduce her as his secretary. Although it was a few simple words, she felt that Liang Feifan meant that she was also a designer …
Liang Feifan. What did he mean?
Bai Lu was a little confused. Buck raised his eyebrows and looked at her again. This time, his gaze lingered on her face for more than five seconds. Obviously, he was slightly interested in her.
