Chapter 500: Elevator Accident
Baird Lane glanced at her and reached out to shake her hand, “Ms. Camp.”
“President Lane, who is this?” Some executives didn’t recognize Christine White and couldn’t help but ask.
Baird Lane put his hand down, “This is the Director of The Camp Family Energy, Ms. Christine Camp.”
Upon hearing that Christine White was actually the director of an energy company, the executives in the room looked at her in surprise, finding it hard to believe that such a young woman could be in charge of such an important company.
“Hello everyone, I’m Christine Camp,” Christine White greeted with an unflustered and gracious hello in the face of dozens of pairs of eyes gawking at her.
Her poise, as well as the confident aura that exuded from her surroundings, had begun to convince the crowd of her identity.
“Hello Superintendent Camp, Superintendent Camp is really young and promising, unlike us, who have climbed to our present position at this age, we can’t compare, we can’t compare.” Someone flattered.
Christine White smiled, “You’re all welcome, the fact that you’re all here means that you’re all good people and there’s no need to get ahead of yourself.”
With her words, she heard a wave of relief in the hearts of those present and praised her for her ability to speak.
Baird Lane sat in the main seat and did not speak, only silently taking it all in, his mind’s perception of Christine White heightened yet again.
This woman, indeed, was not a simple character, and with just a few words, she had managed to break into the inner circle of these executives and was accepted by them.
I have to say, the woman is indeed smart.
“President Lane!” shouted Christine White suddenly to Baird Lane.
Baird Lane collected his thoughts and looked up at her, “What’s wrong?”
“But the meeting started, didn’t it?” Christine White smiled at her.
Baird Lane glanced at his wristwatch, the time was up, and nodded slightly, “Yes.”
As his words fell, the conference room instantly fell silent and no more words were spoken.
Seeing this scene, a dark aura quickly swept across the bottom of Christine White’s eyes, her heart marveling at Baird Lane’s majesty in The Lane Family Group.
That’s a lot more majestic than it was six years ago.
Sure enough, she was growing, so how could he stay put.
Christine White tugged at the corner of her mouth in self-deprecation.
The meeting has begun.
This meeting is very important, it is not too much to say that it is the beginning of a technological revolution, the production of new energy vehicles, it means that the old motorized vehicles have begun to step into the beginning of the elimination of the old, so the conference room is very serious in the face of the people, listening to all very seriously.
And the meeting was long, almost three hours before it ended.
It has been a long time since we had such a long meeting, but the faces of the people are not the slightest bit tired, there is a slow excitement and anticipation, looking forward to the new energy vehicles out of the world.
Everyone knew that as long as the new energy vehicles came out, The Lane Family Group’s value would double, and its ranking in the world’s top 500 would increase by at least a hundred or so, and by that time, they would have made a fortune, so naturally, no one felt tired of this meeting.
“Ms. Camp, you know the results of yesterday’s test, right?” When the people in the conference room had almost dispersed, Baird Lane suddenly walked over to Christine White and said.
Christine White was organizing the information in front of her and nodded when she heard his question, “Acknowledged, the test went well.”
“That’s good, so I as specifically had one of the production lines overtime and had them spend the night building the new energy vehicle shell, would Ms. Camp like to see it?” Baird Lane looked at her.
Christine White looked surprised, “The casing came out so soon, then of course I have to look at it, it’s a matter of interest for both of our companies, I have to see if the casing meets my standards first.”
“It will be to your satisfaction, Ms. Camp please.” Baird Lane made a gesture of invitation.
Christine White wasn’t polite either and smiled at him before heading for the conference room door.
Walking out of the conference room, Baird Lane caught up with her and walked alongside her.
When they got to the elevator and waited for it, Baird Lane shot a glance at the bag she was carrying and a flash of disappointment he didn’t even know he had in his eyes, “Ms. Camp isn’t carrying the bag I gave you?”
Christine White was first flabbergasted for a moment, not understanding why he suddenly paid attention to her bag, but she didn’t think much of it, and replied with a smile, “That bag didn’t match the color of the clothes I’m wearing today, and clashed with the color of the clothes, so I just had to get a different bag, or else it wouldn’t accentuate my clothes, and it would look cheap.”
Baird Lane nodded thoughtfully, “Ms. Camp knows how to dress?”
Christine White lowered her eyes and said in a faint voice, “I used to study fashion design for a while, but then something happened and I gave it up thinking about revenge.”
“So it is.” Baird Lane responded, not saying anything more.
At that moment, the elevator arrived, and with a ding, the doors opened.
Baird Lane signaled Christine White to go in first.
Christine White had no objection and lifted her foot into the elevator.
Baird Lane went in after her, and Gates was the last to go in.
Once Gates is inside, he walks over to the corner and stands still, continuing to act as the air man, leaving space for the two Baird Lane’s.
I thought they would continue to talk about something else, but who knew that once they entered the elevator they were all quiet, so much so that the atmosphere in the large elevator hoist box was eerily quiet.
Suddenly, the lights in the elevator flickered as if they were going out, and there was a zippy current sound.
Christine White frowned, “Is the elevator broken?”
Baird Lane looked up and was about to open his mouth to reply when suddenly the elevator shook violently.
Christine White cried out in fear, and wearing high heels, she couldn’t stand at all when she was shaken like that, and her body lunged forward.
Seeing that her forehead was about to hit the door of the elevator, an arm suddenly reached out towards her, wrapping around her soft waist and pulling her back.
Bang!
A muffled sound.
Christine White’s back hit a wall of hot chest.
It’s Baird Lane!
He saved her, pulling her over when she was about to be knocked over.
Realizing this, Christine White’s eyes opened, and she half slowed down, her brows furrowed, as if she was a bit unable to accept that she had been saved by Baird Lane, and her expression was a bit not so good, “President Lane, you …”
“Don’t move!” Sensing the woman in his arms trying to break away, Baird Lane warned in a low voice, “The elevator’s not ready yet!”
As if in response to his words, the elevator came to another sharp shake.
Christine White lunged forward again with inertia.
But with Baird Lane’s hand hooked all the way around her waist, she wasn’t flopping around as much as she had earlier.
But this is not the way to go on, Baird Lane braced one hand on the elevator wall, the other arm around her, and she can’t stand steadily, every now and then the elevator shakes, every time she shakes, he has to use more strength to hold her tightly, so that he can’t hold on to his one arm for long at all.
And now his arm, which was already a bit of a hidden pain.
Baird Lane’s handsome face sank slightly, and after some thought, he simply dropped the hand that was bracing himself against the elevator wall, and with the other hand he wrapped his arm around Christine White’s waist, and under her stunned gaze, he spun her around in his arms and brought her to the corner of the elevator.
In this way, Christine White has the elevator wall behind her and Baird Lane in front of her.
Baird Lane braced his hands on either side of Christine White’s shoulders, imprisoning her between the elevator and his own body as a means of protecting her before she could get unsteady on her feet again and be shaken out.
“President Lane …”
“Don’t worry!” Baird Lane said subconsciously as he looked down at the somewhat pale woman in front of him, an image suddenly flashing through his mind, “I’ll protect you!”
Hearing this, Christine White’s pupils quivered and she lowered her head without responding.
