A few days later, Lina presented a perfect Plan B. After the project and engineering departments’ evaluation, they all praised it and wondered why she had not introduced that design earlier.

Lina then took the design and a detailed proposal to the board of directors, effectively silencing any doubts.

The board was quite favorable toward this new plan.

“Exactly, this is Ms. Thompson! She must have the ability to handle it!”

“Yes, this design aligns better with the standards of high-end residences, and we can even raise the price.”

“In terms of calculations, the profit margin is twice as much as the previous plan!”

Lina’s smile seemed a bit weary. She waved her hand to instruct the secretary to prepare for a press conference. This time, she intended to unveil this new plan first to prevent any potential plagiarism.

Yet, when she got home and saw Zuko, guilt filled her heart. She hugged Zuko, hiding her face in his chest, and softly said, “I’m sorry, honey…”

Zuko patted her head gently, knowingly asking, “What have you done to apologize to me?”

“Your golden chamber… is no more.”

Lina’s voice was almost inaudible.

Zuko laughed heartily. He felt some regret about losing the unique design. But, compared to the crisis the Thompson Group avoided, he thought it was better for Lina to use the design he intended as a gift as a Plan B instead.

“I’m supposed to keep you in the golden house.” Lina pouted. “Now… It’s keeping hundreds of families. The golden chamber has turned into a high-end residential area!”
