Qin Ran knocked hard on the door. She firmly believed that Gu Xiaoxiao had not come out since she entered the office yesterday afternoon, so she must still be inside.
But then again, if she was inside, why didn't she open the door when she heard the knock? Qin Ran had a bad premonition, she didn't dare think too much about it. He hurriedly went back to find a spare key to open the door.
When Qin Ran finally found the key to open the door, he saw Gu Xiaoxiao lying on the ground as soon as she entered the room. Her face was pale white, her phone had fallen beside her. Qin Ran screamed, the sound had attracted the attention of the other people, they quickly called 120 and sent Gu Xiaoxiao to the hospital.
When Gu Xiaoxiao entered the emergency room, she turned around anxiously at the door, not knowing what to do. When she thought about it, for such a long time, Qin Ran had not advised Gu Xiaoxiao to take care of her body, but had simply ignored her because of her anger towards her. If she had cared for her earlier, she wouldn't have collapsed today.
Qin Ran felt that he should not doubt Gu Xiaoxiao's intentions towards him. The two of them had been together for so long, they should be familiar with each other's natures. Although Gu Xiaoxiao didn't say much sometimes, she at least treated her friends sincerely. The more Qin Ran thought about it, the more he felt that he was blaming himself.
"The patient suffered from pneumonia due to a high fever. Now he needs to be hospitalized and isolated. May I ask where is the patient's family? We need them to pay the fee and sign the contract." The doctor with a mask came out from the emergency room and directly walked towards Qin Ran, and said with a sincere tone.
"She no longer has a family that can come. Can I sign it on behalf of her family?" Qin Ran cried as he spoke.
"If you can't find the family, you can sign on behalf of the patient. However, the patient's condition isn't good. It looks like she's had a fever for several days but didn't come back in time to treat it. She'll have to wait for her next treatment." After the doctor finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the emergency room, leaving Qin Ran alone at the door.
When Gu Xiaoxiao's situation stabilized, Qin Ran knew that it would be useless to continue crying here. He had told the nurse to contact him when she woke up.
However, after carefully thinking about it, just as Xiaoran Studio was about to announce the release of the new product, she was suddenly plagiarized. Was she going to bully the reputation of the Xiaoran Studio, or was he going to take advantage of the heat to fiercely suppress it. Qin Ran could not figure it out, so she decided to investigate more, and quickly called everyone in the studio to prepare for a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Gu Xiaoxiao had already moved from the emergency room to the normal ward, all she needed to do was to hang herself in the water every day. It was just that she kept on having a high fever and was extremely tired, so she did not fully wake up. The nurse took care of Gu Xiaoxiao every single day according to her instructions, but Qin Ran knew that Gu Xiaoxiao had slept for two days already, and he didn't know when she would recover. Right now, there was no time to waste, so he had to think of a way to help the studio.
Gu Xiaoxiao is still unconscious and hospitalized, there is no way for her to redesign the new product. If you have any good ideas, you can talk about it.
Qin Ran anxiously held an emergency meeting in the office. In the entire studio, almost no one was able to take Gu Xiaoxiao's place of design, and everyone looked at each other in dismay.
"The information regarding the studio's design has always been kept in the custody of the Sister Xiaoxiao, so we don't have the chance to interact any further. Even if we were to redesign it now, there is no way to replace the Sister Xiaoxiao's design style."
Gu Xiaoxiao's assistant said helplessly, "If there's really no other way, we can only cancel the press conference. Otherwise, even if it's like this, the press conference will become a joke and everyone will just watch the show."
"No, if this event is cancelled, then we won't have a chance to enter the market anymore. "Alright then. You guys can go back and do your own things. Don't worry, the press conference will be held as scheduled. I'll take care of it properly." Qin Ran told everyone to work hard and keep cheering them on.
Actually, with such a huge matter happening, everyone couldn't calm down and go back to work according to their original plan. Qin Ran just hoped that everyone's emotions wouldn't get blown away by the outside world.
She made herself look like she was still busy every day in front of the others, just hoping that everyone would still have the motivation to work. But she also knew in her heart that Gu Xiaoxiao was still in the hospital. No matter how strong she was, there was no way that she could replace the importance of Gu Xiaoxiao to the studio.
On one hand, Qin Ran was in the Workshop preparing the next step of the plan, on the other hand, he was continuously calling the hospital to inquire about Gu Xiaoxiao's situation. The nurse was already annoyed by her phone call, but she had no choice but to patiently reply that Gu Xiaoxiao's body was still weak and sleeping, and still needed some rest. However, he would probably wake up in the next two days, so he asked her not to worry too much.
Qin Ran sat in his own office with his head in his hands. It was surprising to think of the design from college. Gu Xiaoxiao, who was beautiful to the entire school, was the pride of the entire school at that time.
Every time Gu Xiaoxiao made his own new product, she would use it to communicate with Qin Ran. Although Qin Ran was not a professional in design, but Gu Xiaoxiao believed that Qin Ran had unique eyes, and she would definitely give him the best encouragement to make her own work. From the start of university, Qin Ran had been familiar with Gu Xiaoxiao's design.
Thus, when Qin Se Studio released the new product, she could immediately tell that it was a plagiarism from Gu Xiaoxiao's design. Furthermore, she firmly believed that Gu Xiaoxiao must have known that her work had been plagiarized before she fainted from excitement in the morning.
Then why did the Qin Se Studio choose to copy from the Xiaoran Studio? Could it be that the Qin Se Studio valued Gu Xiaoxiao's talent?
Logically speaking, Gu Xiaoxiao's design had just started improving in the industry, and many people did not have a clear understanding of Gu Xiaoxiao's own design style. Could it be that the person who copied them also knew that Gu Xiaoxiao had outstanding design skills? Or perhaps it was to let Gu Xiaoxiao know that her style had been copied, and that was why she made her move one month before Xiaoran Studio decided on the time for the press conference?
All of this was too coincidental and too illogical.
After thinking about it, Qin Ran felt that everything he was thinking about here, he needed to personally go and see who the designer of the Qin Se Studio was, and see what exactly this studio was planning to do next. After hearing the news, saying that the Qin Se Studio's press conference would be held tomorrow afternoon, Qin Ran decided to go and check out the situation.
Since the last time Huo Moting and he had separated at the coffee shop, he had not had the time to visit her. It was unknown when he got used to his wife being by his side, but now he was left by himself, at a loss.
Huo Moting was prepared to give Gu Xiaoxiao a call to ask him about her current situation. She had her hand on the phone for a long time, but she just couldn't reach him. He was afraid that she would hear Gu Xiaoxiao's cold tone towards him, and he was also afraid that Gu Xiaoxiao's life would become better and better, making her feel that she was becoming less and less important to her.
Huo Moting didn't even want to go home now. When he thought about how he would only be sleeping in the room that should originally have been two people in such a big villa, he felt even more helpless.
Thus, he could only lock himself up in his office and work endlessly, so as to not have a single moment of rest. Only by doing so would he be able to have less time to think random thoughts and live a little faster compared to Gu Xiaoxiao, who was by his side.
Thinking about it, it was already late into the night. Huo Moting thought that Gu Xiaoxiao might have already fallen asleep, it would be better if she did not disturb her. With that, he placed his phone to the side, took out his documents and continued reading.
At noon on the second day, Qin Ran explained the work to everyone and asked about Gu Xiaoxiao's current situation. Then, he took the reporter's certificate that he borrowed from his friend and took a taxi to the Qin Se Studio's press conference.
Just as the car drove to the door, Qin Ran saw many business tycoons conversing with each other at the door, and then they entered the meeting place together. When she got out of the taxi, she saw that the back of the man who entered the arena with only a shadow was a little familiar, he could only see that he looked very much like Huo Moting.
Qin Ran was a little doubtful, but since the Huo Family was a large company, many business parties would have to deal with it. Maybe it was because Huo Moting saw the value of this studio and came to attend the press conference, or maybe it was for the Huo Family's diverse market. When he saw that there were fewer and fewer people at the door, Qin Ran also secretly followed a certain tabloid reporter and was about to enter.
"Which newspaper are you from? Do you have your ID?" The security guards at the entrance of the auction house blocked Qin Ran and asked for her identity.
Qin Ran took out the reporter's certificate that he prepared beforehand. As he pretended that it was the first time he was a little strange, he used all of his skills to curry favor with the security guards.
"Big brother, I'm a newcomer. Look, this is my press ID. This is the first time I've seen something like this, and I'm a little nervous. "Big brother, where did this studio come from? Why is it so grand?" Qin Ran flattered the guard as he mentally rolled his eyes at the bullying him.
The security guard was coaxed by Qin Ran's coquettish tone to the point that he seemed to float in the air, he returned the reporter's card to her and said: "This is what you're saying, don't you see? This is a studio invested in by the big company, Huo Family. It's already good enough for tabloid reporter like you to have seen it. Take it, go on in, don't shine blindly. "
Qin Ran faked a smile and waved his hand to the big brother security guards, then he quickly ran to the competition grounds, cursing in his heart. No wonder he saw Huo Moting, the studio was opened by him, it was really unlucky.
However, what was Huo Moting doing to need his subordinate's studio to copy Xiao Xiao's design? Could it be that the two of them were doing something unspeakable? Logically speaking, Gu Xiaoxiao should still be lying in the hospital, how did the two of them work together? Had Huo Moting not seen Gu Xiaoxiao's plan before?
Did he not know that Gu Xiaoxiao's design had been copied, or that he did not know Xiao Xiao's design at all? Was this all under his instructions? Was there something fishy about it?
Qin Ran's head was currently filled with question marks. She really wanted to run over and grab onto Huo Moting's collar to ask about the whole situation, but he had no choice. Since they were currently in someone else's territory, he had to restrain himself.
