Chapter 23: Allen Poisoned
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the past few days, other than taking care of his two children, Qiao Zhen had been helping Allen with the Fashion Week.
Seeing that the Fashion Week was about to arrive, the people in Allen’s studio stayed up all night and finally completed most of the design exhibitions. However, the remaining part was also the most important part and needed to be carefully finalized.
At this moment, in his office, Allen lay down on the sofa and said loudly.
“There are still three days left. When that time comes, let’s see how that Qiao Yu will end up. She’s a coward who doesn’t know anything! She’s still targeting us. When the results of the competition are out, let’s see how she’ll cry!”
“The remaining three days are also the most important three days. We must be on high alert.”
Qiao Zhen felt uneasy these days. Perhaps it was because the progress was too smooth, and she felt that Qiao Yu would not let them off so easily, but she also felt that she was too sensitive.
Qiao Zhen, who could not figure it out, rubbed the space between her eyebrows to relieve her fatigue. She threw over a new design draft and said in a low voice.
“Take a look at this design. What do you think?”
Taking the design draft, Alan held his stomach and didn’t know what to say. He looked a little weird. He was fine a moment ago, but in the next second, he was sweating profusely. His body was hot, and his stomach was boiling.
Seeing Allen’s appearance, Qiao Zhen was so scared that she got up. “What’s wrong with you?”
“Boss, I feels uncomfortable… I feel dizzy, so uncomfortable…”
Allen said in a low voice. He curled up in pain. He felt that his stomach was twisting together and he wanted to throw up.
“Let’s go to the hospital!” Qiao Zhen quickly helped Allen to the design studio. She wanted to go to the hospital with him, but the current situation didn’t allow them to leave together.
She could only ask for help from others. “Two people, send Allen to the hospital, Quick!”
After a while of busying themselves, other than Allen and the two colleagues who sent him to the hospital, there were ten others who stayed where they were. Everyone could see the worry in each other’s eyes, but they maintained a tacit understanding, hoping that Allen would come back soon.
Time was of the essence. What should they do if they lost their backbone?
Qiao Zhen couldn’t figure out the situation either, so she had to let everyone rest for a while and wait for news.
An hour later, her cell phone finally rang.
Qiao Zhen quickly picked up the phone. “Okay, I got it… Don’t worry, take good care of him. Don’t let Allen worry, I’m here…”
All the employees stared at Qiao Zhen, waiting for an answer.
Qiao Zhen knew that this couldn’t be hidden, so she could only tell them, “Allen has food poisoning and needs to be hospitalized…”
“Ah? Really? No Way…”
“Food poisoning? Why at this critical moment? We’ve endured for so long, and all our efforts will have been in vain…”
“What should we do? Without Allen, what else can we do?”
At this moment, the chief designer was hospitalized, which meant that he couldn’t continue to participate in the design work. It would delay a lot of processes, and they didn’t have enough time.
Negative emotions swept through the entire studio, the designer was gone. How could they compare with that side?
The Fashion Week was most likely ruined.
Qiao Yu’s design team next door couldn’t hide their laughter and rushed over to see the joke.
When Qiao Zhen heard the words “food poisoning,” she suspected that someone was deliberately plotting against Allen, but there was no evidence.
While she was thinking, she heard someone sarcastically mocking her.
“Oh, could it be that Allen is scared and doesn’t dare to compete with Miss Qiao? Otherwise, why would there be a problem at this time?”
Qiao Zhen looked up and saw that it was a female employee of Qiao Yu’s team. She said coldly.
“Since you have the time, why don’t you pay attention to your own progress first?”
She knew that their time was also very tight.
“You!”
The woman was so angry that she couldn’t say anything. She walked away angrily.
Qiao Zhen and the others were left alone. The air in the room was getting stuffy, and everyone was dejected.
“Why don’t we finish the work first?”
Qiao Zhen didn’t want to waste these days of hard work. She was about to succeed, and she couldn’t give up at this critical moment.
“Forget it. Even Allen isn’t here. What can we do with just you and us?”
“I give up. Since we’re going to fail anyway, we might as well go home and sleep.”
Those members had lost their confidence and were unwilling to listen to her. Some of them even picked up their keys and bags and went out without coming back.
Only a young girl stayed behind. “Assistant Qiao, I’ll finish it with you.”
“What’s your name?” Qiao Zhen admired her very much. She didn’t choose to give up when met with trouble. Instead, she continued to fight to the last moment.
“My name is Su Meng. I’m a new intern.”
“Very good, Su Meng. Let’s work hard together for these last three days.”
Just like that, with the help of Su Meng, Nuonuo, and Eric, Qiao Zhen worked for three days in a row.
