Chapter 1732


    When they arrived, only Chad and his assistant were in the conference room. Chad stood up to greet


    Cedric, and his eyes fleetingly sweeping over Emily with a hint of apprehension.


    As soon as Emily sat down, the conference room''s door opened and Ron respectfully stood to the side,


    saying, "Mr. James, pleasee in!"


    All the people in the room stood up. Chad wore a polite smile, "Mr. James, Mr. Gavin, good afternoon!"


    Charlie,posed and unassuming, took the central seat and didn''t show any signs of surprise, not


    even ncing in Emily''s direction.


    Gavin casually greeted Emily, “Emily, nice to see you again!"


    Emily responded with a light smile, “Good afternoon, Mr. Gavin!"


    Chad''s gaze flickered as he settled into his chair.


    Sitting next to Charlie, Ron cheerfully said, "Designer Chad and Ms. Emily have put aside all their work


    to focus on creating the design draft for the building. We initially nned to have Mr. Gavin review it


    first, but we didn''t expect Mr. James to also join us. We are truly honored by your attention and we


    won''t disappoint your expectations!"


    Charlie nodded indifferently, “Let''s take a look at the design draft first."


    “Of course,!" Ron eagerly agreed, turning to Chad and Emily, "Which one of you would like to present


    your design first?"


    Chad immediately volunteered, "I''ll go first!"


    He stood up and projected his initial design draft on the screen, giving everyone an exnation.


    As a senior designer, Chad had plenty of design experience. His design might not be dazzlingly


    innovative, but it was difficult to find any obvious ws.


    He eloquently exined his design concept.


    Charlie only nced at it a couple of times before lowering his gaze to study the detailed ns in his


    hands.


    Gavin also seemed somewhat bored, mainly because the design was too ordinary. Chad had added a


    few design highlights, but overall, it didn''t leave a fresh andsting impression.


    Charlie''s phone suddenly rang. After a quick nce, he stood up and left the room to take the call.


    Chad''s eyes followed Charlie''s retreating figure. After a brief pause, he continued with his presentation.


    Charlie was on the phone for about half an hour. When he returned, Emily was the one presenting.


    “The building is located next to Serenity Stream. From the third floor of the building, you can see the


    Serenity Stream below. That''s why I''ve designed the main structure of the building to resemble a


    sailboat, like a ship floating on the water. I want consumers entering this building to feel as if they are


    traveling across rivers and oceans, exploring top luxury brands from around the world that are gathered


    here. It fully satisfies their needs for dining, living, entertainment, and shopping!"


    “Moreover, the sails of the sailboat are designed with abination of metal and ss panels, which


    provide shade from the sunlight corning from the south, casting patterns of cloud-shaped on the ground


    to offer consumers a pleasant andfortable experience."


    “Between the sails ovep and intertwine, guiding consumers to different areas of the building, giving


    them the wonderful sensation as if they were standing among the clouds. With this unique feature, we


    can attract even more consumers."

    Emily''s voice was clear and melodic, her enunciation precise and her pace steady, drawing everyone''s


    attention.


    Charlie stood at the doorway, watching the girl''s back. She exuded confidence and a radiance he had


    never seen before.


    It seemed as if she only reserved her brilliance when she was in his presence, deliberately minimizing


    her own presence when she looked up to him.


    Or perhaps, he had realized this about her and chose to let her go, allowing her to shine in her own


    way without his influence.


    When Emily finished, Gavin was the first to apud, “Brilliant!"


    Following Gavin, Ron and Cedric also apuded Emily''s presentation. Chad, with aplex


    expression, reluctantly pped a couple of times.


    As Emily turned to face the room, she caught sight of Charlie standing at the door. She turned to look


    at him subconsciously, her expression freezing slightly with a hint of nervousness.


    Charlie furrowed his eyebrows slightly, wondering if he was that intimidating, to the point of making her


    change her expression in an instant.


    Gavin stood up andplimented her, "Emily, well done. At the very least, your design caught my


    attention!"


    Emily nodded modestly, "This is just an initial idea and it may still need refinement. I hope to receive


    feedback from everyone!"
