Chapter 240: No Preparation
Chapter 240: No preparation
The next day, Mariana woke up early, everything from the previous night did not affect her mood, or she had pressed those kinds of negative emotions into a strong shell.
When she arrived at the office, Nuria and Leonor were the first to welcome her, hugging her affectionately and looking her up and down for a few moments before reassuring her. -Why don't you rest at home for a few days before coming? There wasn't much to do at the company during this time," looking at Mariana, Nuria spoke in a low voice.
-My body has already improved. If I don't come, am I waiting for my salary to be deducted?
Saying this, Mariana winked slyly at the two of them, with a different attitude than usual.
Nuria and Leonor looked at each other, their eyes shone with confusion, but they were glad to see such a change, so in the end they said nothing.
When she returned to her office and sat down, Mariana took a look at the company's financial statements that Nuria had brought in during this period of time, and only then did she have an idea in her mind. Although she was a designer, she was in the habit of looking at financial statements every quarter.
Because this allowed him to better understand the current fashion trend, as well as the needs and aesthetic development of the public, to design more popular works and create fashion more in line with the public's tastes.
In fact, from this perspective, Mariana was not the same as other designers. She did not use strange ideas to create innovative designs, because from the beginning she considered that only fashion that was appreciated by people was true fashion.
If not, it was a trick.
I had just finished the work I had left behind when the phone that Mariana had put aside rang, and the ringing seemed a bit abrupt in such a quiet environment.
Her eyes trembled slightly, with indescribable meaning, Mariana picked up the phone and took it off the hook.
-Hello.
As soon as the words left her mouth, an anxious male voice came from the other side of the phone and reached Mariana's soft ears with a deep voice. -Ma'am, I'm assistant Lionel. Right now the Duran Group has encountered a problematic issue, can you come here?
After speaking in a trembling voice, the assistant waited with bated breath for Mariana's response.
But after being stunned for a moment, Mariana quickly got up, hurriedly picked up her jacket that was hanging at her side and quickly left.
-I'll be right there.
Hearing this, however, the attendant could not help but freeze for a moment, and inexplicable emotions instantly surged in his heart very violently, causing his throat to tighten slightly, and he could only respond promisingly.
-Good.
Mariana didn't even ask what had happened with Grupo Durán, and rushed forward in a confident manner.
The assistant knew that Mariana did not trust him, but he wanted to help his boss.
Putting down the phone, there were still some complicated emotions in his eyes, which could not be fully collected. The assistant walked quickly to Leopold's side and spoke softly.
-Mr. Durán, I have already found a candidate, he will arrive soon.
Leopoldo did not hesitate and nodded softly.
Today there was a very alarming incident in the company. The hem of the dresses was uneven due to the machine, and the dresses were very different from the previous samples, which looked very messy. This was a situation that no one had expected, and since the batch was due tomorrow, it was no longer realistic to remake them from the original drawings, so Leopold ordered someone to find a new designer to try to fix them.
Soon, Mariana paid to get out of the car, grabbed her bag and hurried to the front desk. She was out of breath from running, so she spoke with bated breath.
-I am Mariana, the designer hired by Mr. Castro.
Hearing that, the lady at the front desk nodded hurriedly and said with a smile.
-Mr. Castro has already explained that if the designer Mariana arrives, she should go up directly.
-Okay, thank you.
After saying these words indifferently, Mariana quickly headed for the side stairs. She did not expect that at that moment it was time for the morning rush at work.
Staring helplessly at the heavy figures before her, Mariana couldn't even see the elevator door that was blocked by the crowd. Her face was uneasy and her heart even more anxious. Finally, after making up her mind, Mariana looked at the emergency corridor next to her and quickly headed that way. The quickest way now was probably for her to take the stairs. Nervous, with an indescribable feeling in her heart, Mariana made an effort to calm her breathing and quickly climbed the stairs.
Finally, Mariana saw the number above and let out a deep sigh.
"I arrived."
Only when she stepped on the flat ground did Mariana feel the fatigue. Right now, she was in a hurry and didn't think as much, so she held her breath and hurried forward, but she couldn't feel the pain in her legs in general.
When she opened the door to the conference room, Mariana saw the tall figure standing in front of the window with a cold, indifferent and distant atmosphere, making it impossible for people to approach. At that moment, the assistant who was waiting anxiously to the side saw Mariana enter and hurried to greet her, speaking in a deep voice.
-Mariana, there is a problem with this morning's batch of goods, the manufactured products are not the same as the original design, but they will be delivered tomorrow, so it is urgent and there is no time to recreate them. Can you take a look at them? See if there is any remedy?
The man looking out the window heard the voice of the assistant say "Mariana" and turned sharply. Sure enough, the person in front of him was that familiar figure.
The next moment, the assistant who was still presenting the situation to Mariana felt a burning gaze hit her back, making her body tremble and her words turn bitter.
However, at that moment, Mariana had already swept her eyes over the faces of the people in front of her, and then focused her attention on the defective product on the table, without looking at Leopoldo. -Mariana, do you think there is any possibility of repairing these defective products?
At that moment, the people sitting in the conference room also turned their expectant eyes on Mariana, although there were still people who did not believe in her ability and were very confused as to why Leopoldo had found such a person to clean up the mess.
As Mariana looked at the defective products in front of her, the conference room echoed with a somewhat noisy chatter, like the buzzing of flies, which made people feel more agitated.
-What is the situation now? Why did Mr. Durán find Mariana? Aren't there many famous designers we work with? Is he really able to take on such a big responsibility and save this crisis?
