Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 392 - Chapter 392 Chapter 391 He Found the Right Heart

Chapter 392: Chapter 391: He Found the Right Heart Chapter 392: Chapter 391: He Found the Right Heart The janitor’s living conditions weren’t great; she and her daughter, Wu Xiaolan, rented a basement to live in.

Usually, the janitor would bring back bottles, waste paper, and boxes from the company and sell them once she had accumulated enough.

Wu Xiaolan held the crumpled design draft in her hand, her eyes flashing with amazement.

Even though the design draft wasn’t complete, with some details still unfilled, Wu Xiaolan had never seen such a perfect design.

“Mom, where did this come from?”

“I picked it up as scrap paper from the company.” The janitor looked at Wu Xiaolan, puzzled, “Is it useful? It should be something Chairman Ming threw away.”

Wu Xiaolan knew the janitor worked at Autumn Water Studio; the Chairman Ming mentioned was Ming Yao.

Wu Xiaolan worked at Bailio, where their design studio had the top wristwatch designers, yet she had never heard any of them mention Ming Yao.

This definitely wasn’t drawn by some unknown nobody.

“Mom, you keep sorting. I’ll take this paper.”

The janitor didn’t understand the paper’s worth, but she said nothing when her daughter wanted it.

Back in her room, Wu Xiaolan redrew the design from the draft into her own design notebook.

The Italian wristwatch competition was about to start, and lately, the company had been selecting design drafts internally.

CEO Huo had been dissatisfied with several designs from the top designers and had been lashing out at them these past few days.

Wu Xiaolan thought that if she submitted this design draft, it would surely meet CEO Huo’s approval.

The next day, Wu Xiaolan arrived at her company.

After the morning meeting ended, CEO Huo asked if anyone had new ideas, and a few designers showed him their drafts.

CEO Huo shook his head with a stern face, “My goal this time is to make it into the top three globally, not just the top ten. This quality will definitely not meet my expectations!”

Within the country, their drafts might have had a chance to win, but now they were competing against global watch companies.

Wu Xiaolan took a deep breath, stood up, and said, “CEO Huo, I’ve drawn a new design draft, would you like to see it?”

Wu Xiaolan was just an assistant designer at the company and usually didn’t stand out much.

Hearing that she also wanted to compete, other designers showed disdainful expressions toward her.

“Wu Xiaolan, don’t embarrass yourself!”

Wu Xiaolan’s face turned red from what was said, but she mustered her courage and handed over the design draft she had stayed up all night to finish to CEO Huo.

CEO Huo hadn’t really been serious about Wu Xiaolan, giving her design draft only a casual glance.

But that glance made her freeze.

She looked for a full minute before she raised her head, her expression excited, “You drew this?”

“Yes…” Wu Xiaolan nervously nodded, clutching the hem of her dress.

Excitement barely concealed in CEO Huo’s eyes, she handed the draft to her assistant, “Go check if there’s any plagiarism or something?”

The assistant quickly returned to the conference room with the design draft, “CEO Huo, this design hasn’t been published before.”

CEO Huo nodded with satisfaction, stood up, and patted Wu Xiaolan on the shoulder, “You’ve truly surprised and impressed me. With such a draft in the competition, the top three are assured, perhaps even the championship!”

“Once we win the prize, I’ll promote you!”

Wu Xiaolan’s heart pounded, “Thank you, CEO Huo.”

With the design draft in hand, the process of making wristwatches was much easier!

…

The wristwatch competition was held in Italy; Ming Yao headed there with Manager Zhu and Zhong Ling.

During this time, Gu Siting had disappeared like a ghost, not showing his face even once.

Senior Brother also refused to pick up her calls, and the situation had become unprecedentedly tense and stagnant.

Ming Yao considered that after the competition, she would make a trip to the Tang Sect.

No matter what, she had to save Gu Siting’s life!

Upon arriving in Italy, on the way from the airport to the hotel, Ming Yao noticed Zhong Ling chatting on her phone, and she leaned over to take a glance.

“Assistant Lu?”

Zhong Ling quickly tucked away her phone, her scalp tingling as she looked at Ming Yao, “Sister Yao, please don’t misunderstand. I was just asking Assistant Lu about Fourth Master’s recent situation.”

Ming Yao’s mouth twitched, “If it’s nothing, why ask him?”

“Sister Yao, you worked overtime until late before, and once you were so tired you fell asleep on the desk. When I covered you with your clothes, you called out ‘husband’…”

“Even though you don’t say it, Sister Yao, I can tell you’re still thinking about Fourth Master.”

Ming Yao, “…”

“Assistant Lu said, Fourth Master has been elusive lately, but he also came to Italy recently. He said he was going to meet someone important.”

Ming Yao poked Zhong Ling’s head, “You little imp! So do you know where he is in Italy now?”

“Hehe, I do, he’s at the hotel where you, Sister Yao, will be staying shortly.”

Ming Yao, “…” The benefits of having a thoughtful little assistant!

If she could see Gu Siting, it would be good, she still wanted to persuade him one more time!

The car smoothly drove towards the hotel where Ming Yao would be staying.

The city here had a strong retro vibe, Ming Yao rested her cheek in her hand, looking out the car window at the city’s elegant charm.

Suddenly, a hurried figure at the side of the road caught Ming Yao’s attention.

The woman had long, silky black hair, a face clear and fair as jade, wearing a white dress, her figure slender, very much like…

“Stop the car!”

The driver was somewhat puzzled until Ming Yao asked him to stop again, then he brought the car to a halt.

Ming Yao quickly pushed open the car door and ran towards the side of the road.

“Sister Yao, what happened?”

Ming Yao didn’t respond to Zhong Ling, she chased after the figure.

But that figure entered an alley and then vanished from sight.

Ming Yao’s brows knitted tightly together.

Could it be, she had seen wrong?

…

Once at the hotel, Ming Yao took a shower and then took a nap.

Zhong Ling messaged her, Gu Siting’s room was on the floor above hers.

Ming Yao changed her outfit and went upstairs.

Standing in front of the President Suite where Gu Siting was staying, she rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door opened.

Seeing Ming Yao outside the door, a flicker of surprise passed through Gu Siting’s deep black eyes.

“Why are you here?”

Ming Yao pursed her lips, “Don’t want to see me?”

“No, come in,” Gu Siting stepped aside to let Ming Yao into the room.

Walking into the living room, Ming Yao turned back to look at the man who seemed to have lost some weight recently, “What have you been busy with lately?”

“Looking for a heart,” he replied truthfully.

Ming Yao paused, “How’s that going?”

“Not bad. I came here this time to meet a patient willing to donate his heart to me.” Gu Siting’s facial features tensed, his eyes shadowed, “He was in a serious car accident a while ago, with high amputations, severe spinal injuries, and his condition recently deteriorated. He signed an agreement with the organ center, willing to donate his other healthy organs, including his heart.”

Hearing Gu Siting say that, Ming Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be for the best if he could find a suitable heart himself!

But the fact that he found one so easily made her feel vaguely uneasy!
