Chapter 430
Those are some big words. Does she know what she has just said? Most people would still have ws
in their presentation after they have prepared their materials. Yet, she''s saying she can present without
reading from a script! Everyone in the conference room was looking at Avery dubiously. Consequently,
she felt nervous, and her palms started sweating.
Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, Avery couldn''t help but sp the documents in her hands.
Those were some architectural design drafts that she identally found in her filing cab when she
went to the design department to look for information.
Obviously, those sketches weren''t abstract graphic design drawings, nor were they 3D renderings
made by software. Instead, those architectural renderings were drawn with sketch pens and colored
pencils in her spare time.
Although Avery had never studied professional drawing, she was incredibly talented. In addition, she
loved to paint, and she would paint in her spare time. Whenever she had her burst of inspiration, she
would immediately pick up her sketch pens and colored pencils to draw her ideas instead of using any
software.
At that moment, those were the sketches Avery was holding in her hands.
Before that, the department head would ridicule her sketching by saying how it was an old-fashioned
method of designing. However, she ignored thosements and insisted on doing it her way.
Now, all the design samples and 3D renderings of urban reform buildings saved in the sh drive are
all wiped out. Perhaps I can use these original drawings to get me out of trouble. With that in mind,
Avery steeled herself and stood firmly on the stage.
She then opened the cover of the scanner and ced her designs on it.
After that, she operated the scanner deftly.
Seeing that, everyone was at a loss, wondering what the employee who made a mistake was going to
do.
Their expression changed when they saw the scribbled architectural drawings on the huge screen in
the conference room. Despite looking scribbled, the drawings left the audience in awe. Having done
that, Avery showed some pictures of the oldmercial street from her database.
Her delicate voice then resonated across the conference room when she said through the microphone,
“I''m truly sorry about the dy. Now, we may start the conference regarding the theme chosen. I''ve
drawn these sketches using sketch pens and colored pencils to showcase what themercial district
would look like after the redesign. I would like to exin the concept and ideas behind my design.”
At that moment, the people in the audience all had different expressions on their faces.
However, most of them were seemingly curious and in disbelief.
While Cayden was wearing a warm smile on his handsome face, Johnny was frowning.
At the same time, Nina, Cecelia, and the others seemed relieved, and Yvette was sizing Avery up with
her scrutinizing gaze.
Furthermore, Armand and Michael seemed utterly surprised.
Meanwhile, Wisteria and Yulissa both had grim expressions on their faces. Yulissa was even clenching
her fists in annoyance.
With aser pointer in her hand, Avery pointed at the current state of the oldmercial district and
said in a deep voice, “This is a photo of the oldmercial district situated in the prime location in
Moomluft Square. Over a decade ago, this was the busiestmercial district. However, with the
expansion of urbanization, changes in themercial pattern, and the constraints of traffic factors, the
disadvantages of the oldmercial district have gradually been increasing. In the end, the condition
of the district became unfavorable. Now, a transformation is the only viable option. One may wonder
how a certified architect would creatively redesign amercial district so that it would once again
be a futuristicmercial district that could amodate the changes in the business scene and
attract the crowd. In my opinion, the current design of themercial district is great. However, it''s
undeniably outdated. The most favorable thing about thismercial district is that it''s located in the
city center. Hence, it''s surrounded by many other high-end business districts and high-end residences.
That''s why I think the theme for the redesign should be trendy and modern. That was what I had in
mind when I did my design sketches. Although these sketches were drawn by hand, please take a look
at them. I think this design works wonders for the consumers because...”
Although Avery''s drawings looked scribbled, they obviously illustrated her immense skill in sketching
and designing.
Those colorful atmospheric architectural appearances and various irregr multi-story buildings
seemed distinct individually butplemented each other well.
She also added a lot of trendy elements to the design. The design emphasized open spaces,
ecologicalndscapes, spectacr gardens for entertainment purposes on the rooftops, and
convenient transportation methods to demonstrate the potential of the area bing a booming
business district.
Evidently, all the designs of the buildings Avery created could take one''s breath away.
As Avery was presenting, Cayden was sitting in his seat quietly and watching her presentation
attentively. Now, she looks assertive and confident instead of a woman on the verge of bursting into
tears moments prior.
Although Avery was speaking in a gentle tone, she wasser-focused and bold with her answers.
Despite the fact that Johnny was constantly throwing questions at her, Avery managed to answer him
effortlessly.
Needless to say, Avery''s performance was ster.
At the same time, the smile on Cayden''s face was growing wider. As expected, the woman I''m into
doesn''t disappoint.
Meanwhile, Yulissa, who was among the crowd, was livid. She wanted nothing more than to deliver a
tight p across Avery''s face when she saw Avery smiling and presenting her designs calmly and
gracefully. Why is this happening? My design was wless! How did Avery''s scribbled designs have me
beat? This is infuriating!
Avery''s magnificent presentation ended over an hourter, and the silence in the conference room was
deafening.
Silence only broke when Cayden started pping for Avery. The rest of the audience quickly regained
their senses and apuded her as well.
Nina was pping so hard that her palms were reddened. She was genuinely proud of her friend''s
spectacr performance. Avery is incredibly capable!
Among the crowd, Johnny''s darkened expression seemed to have eased up tremendously. This
woman, Avery, has exceeded my expectations. Although shemitted a mistake, her talent in
architecture design has most certainly made up for it.
Right then, Johnny''s assistant reminded softly, “Mr. Lawson, it''s your turn to speak.”
Johnny snapped out of his train of thought and nced at Avery beforending his gaze on Cayden.
“Mr. Moore, there''s nock of talent in yourpany. The female employee made a minute mistake
prior to her presentation, but she can definitely learn to have a better memory. Here''s my proposal. I''m
willing to give up five percent, and we shall sign the contract today. What do you think?”
Initially, Johnny thought Cayden would be eager to sign the contract, considering that he had caved in.
After all, I''ve made a considerablepromise. Unlike a coboration worth hundreds of thousands
between two smallpanies, our deal is worth millions. Once our deal is struck, we''re looking to
make profits of over a hundred million. That''s especially the case because it''s a huge urban reform
project.
N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
Due to the fact that the oldmercial district was in a prime location, every small piece ofnd there
would be worth a fortune. Besides, it was a vast area, and every businessperson could foresee the
value of thend being hiked up in the future.
With his darkened gaze, Cayden made a swift decision and replied, “I think you ought to give up ten
percent, at least.”
What? The employees of Vivi Group were on the verge of swearing at Cayden when they heard those
words. Like the others, Johnny''s expression had turned grim all of a sudden. What an arrogant young
man!
