Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Two Intense Gunshots
No wonder, during the work process, Linda kept telling her how important this design was, very important.
Of course, she took it to heart, it’s just that during the ti she argued with Shen Chi, she was in a sowhat bad mood.
Thankfully, it was smoothly completed.
Still, she couldn’t help but worry faintly, what if sothing went wrong, or if her design wasn’t outstanding, would it bring any impact to Shen Group?
But every ti she thought of what Shen Chi said to her, what he did, she couldn’t help but hope that his exhibition would be ruined.
She left the restroom and went back to study the design drawings again.
She continued to seriously perfect the details until late at night.
The main body was mostly fine, if she could highlight the details and add so unique bright spots, she was sure it would be a success.
Once she got engrossed in her work, before she knew it, it was already dark.
By the ti the colleagues from the design departnt had all left, she realized it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
And Old Cheng had already called her several tis, just that she hadn’t received them.
She hurriedly called Cheng back, “Uncle Cheng, are you downstairs?”
“I am here, Miss Xu, are you still working overti?”
“I was too focused, sorry, Uncle Cheng, I forgot it was ti to leave work.”
“Did you forget dinner too?”
Xu Chaomu stuck out her tongue, “Yes, I’m so sorry for delaying your ti.”
“It’s no bother, I’m specifically responsible for driving you.” Uncle Cheng said with a laugh.
“Wait for another half an hour, I’ll be downstairs on ti.”
“No rush, no rush, take your ti, it’s fine.” Old Cheng spoke kindly.
“Then I’ll hang up first.”
“Okay.”
Xu Chaomu hung up the phone, quickly modified a few more details, and decided what couldn’t be finished today could be continued tomorrow, as it was indeed getting late tonight.
She tidied up her computer and locked the design drawings into the group’s dedicated safe.
She was still shaken by that man’s incident from before.
It seed there were not a few competitors going against Shen Group this ti; everyone probably wanted to make a showing at this kind of international exhibition.
After all, if one successfully took first place, the stock prices would certainly “swoosh” up, and it would also benefit the group’s international influence.
This task, so important, had been entrusted to her, a newcor with almost no experience, by Shen Chi.
Although she was sowhat touched in her heart, she quickly suppressed that feeling.
She hadn’t seen him for many days now, she lived in his house, yet she hadn’t seen him; she worked at his group, and still, she hadn’t seen him.
In his heart, he probably thought of her as a shaless woman.
Hah, how disappointing for him.
But, he was quite a disappointnt to her as well.
That morning, he tore her clothes, and she almost despaired.
Thankfully, he held back at the last mont, otherwise, she really didn’t know what kind of beastly things he might have done.
After locking the safe, she then took her bag and left the design departnt.
Of course, she didn’t forget to turn off the lights as she went.
On her way downstairs, Yu Weiwei gave her a call.
“Chaomu, how have you been these past few days?”
“I’ve been pretty good,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.
Yu Weiwei didn’t know about her staying in the hospital these days, and Chaomu hadn’t told her, and of course, she knew even less about the near breakdown of her relationship with Shen Chi.
Xu Chaomu didn’t want to worry Yu Weiwei.
“Right, didn’t you say last ti that you wanted to co to the institute to study with ?”
“Yes, I haven’t forgotten about it. I’ve been so busy recently, but once I have ti, I will definitely co to study.”
“Don’t overwork yourself, a pregnant woman shouldn’t exert herself like that.”
“Otherwise, will you buy milk powder for my baby?”
“Let your darling Li Beiting buy it for you, he can get whatever you want,” Yu Weiwei said with a laugh, “By the way, did he co to find you at the hotel last ti? I forgot to ask you, and you didn’t tell .”
Xu Chaomu pursed her lips, this was old news now, but Weiwei was still harping on it.
“He ca, it’s nothing.”
“Mmhmm, I knew you’re soft-hearted, but n are all the sa, you shouldn’t spoil them too much.”
“I got it,” Xu Chaomu said in a nonchalant tone.
After chatting idly for a while, Xu Chaomu quickly reached Old Cheng’s car, opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat.
“By the way, Weiwei, has Li Beiting looked for you these days?”
“Hah, no,” Yu Weiwei said with a cold laugh.
“He’s probably busy dealing with the Mi Family matters, don’t be anxious.”
“I’m not taking it seriously,” Yu Weiwei said indifferently.
“Why shouldn’t you take it seriously? The marriage certificate isn’t fake,” Xu Chaomu pointed out.
“Let’s just go with the flow,” said Yu Weiwei, emotionless.
After talking for a while more, Yu Weiwei was about to go have dinner, so they hung up the phone.
Old Cheng drove the car. He was a very steadfast and honest middle-aged man, and there wasn’t too much conversation between him and Xu Chaomu.
Xu Chaomu looked out at the nightscape for a while; the city center at this ti was very lively, with lights and a bustling atmosphere everywhere.
The crowds were hustling and bustling, loud and lively.
Xu Chaomu leaned on her hand and silently watched through the window, slowly overco by drowsiness…
She dozed off and fell asleep.
This was her habitual style, sleeping once in the car.
The Maybach had excellent sound insulation, effectively blocking the noise from outside, and she quickly entered dreamland.
She was really tired from work, so she slept deeply and soundly.
The car continued smoothly onward, and in the middle of the journey, Xu Chaomu was awakened by so jolting.
Suddenly, she heard two loud gunshots!
Her eyes snapped open imdiately!
At so point, the car had turned onto a sparsely populated road, and the Maybach had broken down and stopped moving!
Startled, her first reaction was to protect her unborn child.
The car stopped, and Old Cheng quickly turned on the headlights.
“Uncle Cheng, what happened? I think I heard gunshots,” Xu Chaomu said nervously.
She heightened her alertness; such scarcely populated roads were the most prone to incidents.
“I don’t know, the car has a flat tire,” said Old Cheng. “I’ll go check it out.”
“Mmhmm,” Xu Chaomu nodded.
“Miss Xu, stay in the car, don’t move,” Old Cheng cautioned her before opening the car door.
This road had few streetlights, and it was nearly all dark around them. Sotis they’d take this route ho to the Shen Family, other tis not.
However, this road saved ti, and today, probably because it was so late, Old Cheng had taken a shortcut.
Old Cheng opened the car door and jumped down from the driver’s seat.
Xu Chaomu was a bit scared; the sounds she had just heard were gunshots, right? She couldn’t have misheard.
Uneasily, she clutched her seatbelt, beginning to search for her phone.
For so reason, at that mont, the first person she thought of was Shen Chi.
But, just as she was opening her bag, suddenly, the door on the driver’s side was violently flung open!
A rush of cold air poured in, whoosh, whoosh, sending shivers down her spine.
“Don’t move!” A man with a hood held a gun to Old Cheng’s head.
Xu Chaomu fell into tension, crying out “Uncle Cheng”!
