Chapter 694 No good feelings at all
Jiang Jingcheng usually had a cold expression on his face in front of Gu Manman, but who would have thought that he would act so differently in front of Gu Yan? Gu Manman’s heart ached at this scene, but her dissatisfaction was not directed at Jiang Jingcheng at all, but at Gu Yan instead.
She had no good impression on Gu Yan at all. Since Gu Yan did not like Qi Changfeng and Jiang Jingcheng, why did she always give them hopes? “What a bitch!” Gu Manman cursed Gu Yan in her heart constantly with all the words she could think of, but she still didn’t seem to have vented her anger.
If Gu Yan knew what Gu Manman was thinking now, she would definitely feel wronged.
In order to prove to Jiang Jingcheng that she was fine, Gu Yan started to discuss work matters with him. Seeing that she was avoiding his question, Jiang Jingcheng had no choice but to follow along.
“Manman, haven’t you gone out for a walk?” One of her colleagues asked Gu Manman. At this time, the other people were coming back to the meeting room in twos and threes. When they saw Gu Manman sitting still, they were a little surprised. Gu Manman was such a lively and active person, but she actually remained in the meeting room during a break. They felt it quite unbelievable.
Hearing the name “Manman”, Gu Yan’s heart skipped a beat. She raised her eyebrows and turned to look at the girl in the corner.
Of course, Gu Manman could feel Gu Yan’s gaze, but she still looked away. She was not willing to greet Gu Yan, because in her heart, Gu Yan was a bad woman. She did not have a good impression of her at all, let alone look into her eyes and be friendly to her.
Gu Yan was also aware of Gu Manman’s attitude. Gu Manman seemed to be hostile to her. When she turned her head and saw Jiang Jingcheng, she immediately understood. She laughed secretly. Gu Manman was so enthusiastic that Jiang Jingcheng would definitely not be able to resist her.
Seeing Gu Yan suddenly burst out laughing, Jiang Jingcheng was a little puzzled. “What’s going on?” Even though he had no idea about her change, he was still glad that she finally cheered up and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. To keep talking to Gu Yan about work, even he himself couldn’t handle it.
Gu Manman was also not in the mood to talk about work with Jiang Jingcheng now, but she was thinking about personal affairs thoughtfully. At least Qi Changfeng had said that Gu Manman’s specialty was interior design and she was very talented. Gu Yan had wanted to test Gu Manman for a long time. Now that she had returned to Annan City, she had to make good use of this opportunity.
If Gu Manman really had the potential, Gu Yan would never let her be buried. However, if she was not in this line of work, Gu Yan would not keep her either. She would not hire a useless worker just for Qi Changfeng’s sake.
That was never going to happen.
However, if she handed over a big business to Gu Manman all of a sudden, she would also not be at ease. She should test Gu Manman’s ability without harming the interests of the studio. Although Gu Manman was an employee here, to be honest, Gu Yan had not worked with her. She knew nothing about her except that she was Qi Changfeng’s cousin.
There just happened to be a document by her side. She glanced at it briefly, on which was just some basic design work in the studio. She would hand it over to Gu Manman, in order to test Gu Manman’s work attitude and character first at the very least. Otherwise, no matter how good her designing ability was, Gu Yan would not use her.
“Gu Manman, help me do this.” Gu Yan stood up, walked up to Gu Manman, and put the document on the desk in front of her. Gu Manman was startled. “Why did she suddenly arrange work for me? Of all people, did she have to choose me?”
Gu Manman wanted to refuse, but as soon as she raised her head and looked into Gu Yan’s clear eyes, she couldn’t say anything aggressive. Gu Yan’s smile was too warm, like the soft wind. Gu Manman couldn’t say no at all. The words in her heart went around in her throat, but she swallowed them.
Gu Yan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Gu Manman took on the job she had assigned to her after a moment of hesitation. She was worried that Gu Manman would reject her outright. Since Gu Manman did not reject her, then she would wait and see if this girl would be able to do such a simple job.
Most of the people who went out to rest had already returned. The reason why Gu Yan came to the studio today was that she wanted to see the working condition in the studio. More importantly, she needed to do the primary design work herself. As for other matters, she was sure that Jiang Jingcheng was able to handle them.
Since her mind was indeed messy today, she could not focus on the work even if she stayed in the studio. The things about Mo Yichen had already occupied her mind and she also had a headache while thinking about a lot of things at the same time, so she didn’t feel that she was able to do the work well today with her state right now.
So she returned to Jiang Jingcheng’s side and sat down and said to him with a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I’m not feeling very well. I’ll leave first.”
Hearing her words, Jiang Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, as he could be more at ease if Gu Yan went back home to have a rest.
“Do you need me to give you a ride?”
Gu Yan shook her head, indicating her refusal. She was not a child and was able to go back on her own. She would rather Jiang Jingcheng stay in the studio and focus on his job.
Jiang Jingcheng also knew that he could not leave at this moment. Everyone was still waiting for the meeting, so he did not insist on sending her back and just nodded his head. Gu Yan saw that Jiang Jingcheng had agreed, so she said goodbye to everyone and left the studio. She must clear her mind first, before returning to the studio.
After Gu Yan finished speaking, she left the studio. When she walked outside, the sun was dazzling. She took a cab and returned home.
On the way, she was no longer in a hurry like when she went to the studio in the morning and her expression looked more relaxed. She looked at the scenery that flashed by outside the window and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She and Mo Yichen used to enjoy these scenes together, so it seemed as if they were all Mo Yichen and made her recall everything that she had experienced with him. She closed her eyes helplessly. Once she opened her eyes and saw these scenes, she could not help thinking about what Mo Yichen and she had experienced together.
