Chapter 320 Bianca Wows the Crowd!
On the screen was a magnificent skyscraper under a starry sky.
Its design was bold and exquisite, and it looked more like an alien construct in a sci-fi movie.
Its outer walls had mysterious and mesmerizing carvings. More shockingly, each segment of the skyscraper could resolve
independently.
The exterior glass panels could reflect the entire city. It was an impeccable work of art.
The designers were incredibly excited when they saw the design, and they started chattering, endless praising its originality.
Luke knocked on the table, and the tumultuous conference room slowly quietened down.
The man shone a laser pointer on the screen, and his seductive voice could be heard over the speakers.
"I designed this fantasy-like skyscraper myself, based on future design trends. Can anyone give an opinion on the strengths and
weaknesses of this design? Who'll be the first?"
The designer admired their boss even more when they heard that he had designed the skyscraper himself.
As one of the world's top ten designers, Luke's designs were extraordinary. However, he had been devoted to business matters
for the past few years and seldom produced designs.
However, by looking at the skyscraper on the screen, one could see that he still had an eye for design!
Everyone instantly fell silent after the boss asked that question.
They wanted to take the opportunity to flatter their boss, but they did not want to be the first either.
What if they did not give a perfect answer? That would cause them to be humiliated in front of the other elite designers.
No one stood up to give their comments.
"You're the leader of the architectural design department, Bella Sloan.
You'll answer the question." Luke did not hesitate to name names.
Bella Sloan was the leader of the architectural design department. She was also the one who had criticized Bianca earlier.
She stood up from her seat while trembling. Her mind was blank.
Even though she was a veteran employee in the company, she felt anxious when everyone was looking at her!
"Mr... Mr. Crawford, I think that your design is fantastic. You'd only see such a high-tech design in sci-fi movies... but your design
is much better than those you see in sci-fi movies. I can see that you have used all right angles and countless connecting
corridors in the interior design of the skyscraper, which indicates a blend of Gothic and post-modernist influences. It will be an
iconic landmark. I think that your design is perfect, Mr. Crawford. There are no flaws at all!"
Bella might be self-centered and haughty, but she had an eye for design. Otherwise, she would not have become a department
lead.
However, she was flustered when being put on the spot in front of so many elite designers. That was what she could come up
with after racking her brains.
She could not spot any flaws. The design was indeed perfect.
Even if she did spot any flaws, she could not have criticized the boss in front of everyone!
Her forehead was coated with a thin film of sweat after she gave her reply, but she dared not wipe it off.
She stole a glance at Luke sitting in the leading position. Luke sat there calmly with an impassive expression on his face, which
made her even more apprehensive.
"What do you think, Bianca Rayne?" Luke turned to address Bianca.
Bianca stood up hesitantly. She was even more nervous than her department lead.
She took a careful look at the design and started to speak slowly. "You've utilized Al and machine learning in your design, and
that's why it exudes a superhuman tenacity.
"By using optical principles, the exterior glass panels also become a giant mirror that reflects the majesty of the entire city to the
people standing inside the building, which can be a feast to the eyes.
"Unlike other skyscrapers that block one's view of the surroundings, this skyscraper can perfectly capture its surrounding view
onto itself.
"Secondly, the skyscraper uses a modular design made out of flexible material, which means that it will be resistant to
earthquakes.
"However, the skyscraper is too tall, which makes it stand out awkwardly when looking at the city skyline in its entirety.
"Also, standing on the top of the building might give you a magnificent building, but it is very imposing to look at the building from
the ground level.
"Most importantly, even though the building might look flawless, that is where its greatest flaw lies, because..."
Bianca seemed to have transformed into a completely different person when it came to talking about design.
Her voice was crisp and pleasant, and she was incredibly knowledgeable with keen insight. Her design skills were equal to that
of a top-notch designer in the company, which surprised Luke and the other designers.
Luke knew that Bianca had a talent in design, but he did not expect that she was so talented.
The audience was mesmerized by Bianca's analysis of the skyscraper. Applause rang out more than once.
Bella was incredibly jealous.
'Isn't she just a newly-recruited rookie?' She thought.
'Her previous designs aren't that remarkable. Why would she have such an incisive opinion on this design?' 'Maybe the boss
showed Bianca the design earlier and told her about the flaws, and that is why Bianca could speak so fluently and point out the
flaws so accurately.
'That must be the case!'
The designers regarded Bianca differently after her analysis.
They were impressed by her performance, but at the same time, they were surprised that the outstanding woman was a
relatively new recruit.
Mr. Crawford had said that he had personally designed the skyscraper, and that young woman had openly criticized it.
The veteran designers would not have dared to be so candid.
Unexpected to everyone, Luke smiled when Bianca pointed out the flaws in his design.
Luke was already a very handsome man. When he smiled, it moved everyone, like a gentle spring breeze forming ripples on a
still pond surface.
The male employees were wide-eyed and slack-jawed. Was that man who was smiling brightly their usually strict boss?
The female employees were smitten. They were mesmerized by that angelic face...
