Chapter 702 Inexplicably disappointed
Rather than arguing with Gu Yan here, Jiang Jingcheng felt that it was better for him to think of a way to deal with this matter. In that case, when Gu Manman messed it up, he would still be able to come up with a backup plan, and things would not be too awkward.
“Alas, that’s all I can do now.” Jiang Jingcheng let out a long sigh and walked out of Gu Yan’s office. He knew it very well that he had no way of convincing her, so it was best not to waste any more time.
Gu Yan watched as Jiang Jingcheng left her office. She knew that he still had something to say, but he chose not to. She felt a little guilty in her heart. After all, she did not handle things well this time. But since it was already like this, she did not regret what she had done.
Although Gu Manman had agreed to Gu Yan’s arrangement, she was also feeling very frustrated. Under those circumstances, if she did not accept Gu Yan’s challenge, she would lose. Since she had always been the kind of person who would not admit defeat, even if she could not do the work well in the end, she would never admit that she could not do it.
“Bah!”
As if she had suddenly realized what she had been thinking about, Gu Manman quickly recollected herself. Under such circumstances, she could not tolerate any mistakes. Otherwise, she would be utterly disgraced.
However, she was not sure herself. It had been a long time since she had worked in the field of designs, and now she had agreed to take the task in a moment of anger. “Alas, it seems that I won’t be spending a good time in the near future.” Gu Manman sighed deeply.
But the task was not so hard for her, because designing was something that she liked from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, it was not entirely a burden to her. Although she had not done this type of work for a long time, she was confident that she would succeed in this project.
Jiang Jingcheng returned to his office. Although the matter had been settled, he could not help blaming Gu Manman in his heart for not knowing her own strength. It was a big project, and he did not trust her ability.
Even Jiang Jingcheng himself did not have the confidence to say those big words. But now, in order to help her fulfill her big talk, he had to think about how to clean up after her mess. When he thought of her ungratefulness, he was immediately filled with anger. Did Gu Manman, who had not suffered before, think that everything was easy?
Right now, Jiang Jingcheng felt at loss. What else could he do? The best way to deal with this kind of thing was to make another backup plan by himself. Instead of saying that it was a backup plan, it would be better to say that his design would be the ultimate one. How could Gu Manman’s design work? Jiang Jingcheng didn’t believe that it would.
Originally, everyone at the studio had arranged plenty of work, but now because of what Gu Manman did, Jiang Jingcheng had to work overtime to deal with the aftermath for her. How could he not be angry about this? Moreover, inspiration was needed to design something. Was his inspiration like almost boundless?
He was not confident enough to say that.
Gu Manman was capricious. It was fine that she did not know what was good for her, but Gu Yan was the one that was acting weird. Why was she willing to trust Gu Manman and even entrust such an important task to her?
Especially in this morning, Gu Manman was disrespectful to Gu Yan. Although Gu Manman still completed the work that Gu Yan had assigned her, her previous performance was completely to find fault with Gu Yan on purpose.
Although Jiang Jingcheng had promised Gu Yan not to ask anymore and just to wait, he was unable to guess what she was planning. “Alas, it’s better not to think about that for now.” Jiang Jingcheng knew that he had much more work now and that he had to work overtime.
Jiang Jingcheng heaved a long sigh. “Alas, there’s not a single person by my side who can make me less worried! If only I have three heads and six arms, I’ll be able to do all the work. That’ll be great.”
Jiang Jingcheng knew that it was useless to think any further. The only thing he could do now was to quickly start working. At least he could give the clients a backup plan before the deadline of work was up.
He was very worried. Not only did he have to come up with a plan, but he also had to monitor Gu Manman’s actions all the time. With her temper, he was really worried about her contacting the clients. She would not deliberately control her temper, and the clients were very strict.
Jiang Jingcheng was afraid that she would fight with the clients. If she did that, the reputation of the studio would really be ruined by her alone. When he thought of the things she might do and the following consequences, he felt greatly troubled.
“This is obviously a bad recruitment. She doesn’t know anything while getting paid. And we need to serve her well?”
Jiang Jingcheng decided that he would personally keep an eye on Gu Manman’s designs. In this way, no matter what she did, he would be able to notice it immediately so as to prevent her from doing something irreversible and giving Gu Yan a chance to fire her.
Although Jiang Jingcheng didn’t like Gu Manman, when he thought that she might leave the studio and he would never see her again, he inexplicably felt a little disappointed.
Jiang Jingcheng felt that this out-of-nowhere emotion was quite strange, but he didn’t think it was from the affection between a man and a woman at all because from beginning to end, he knew that the person he liked was Gu Yan. As for why he would feel this way for Gu Manman…
Jiang Jingcheng wondered if he had become a masochist now. He had worked with Gu Manman for so long, but he had never been at an advantage and had suffered losses at her hands from time to time. He didn’t believe that he could get used to her existence. He didn’t believe that he would like Gu Manman to make trouble for him every now and then.
He did not dare to think any further. “Have I become a masochist?” Gu Manman was really powerful, and he knew that he had never been at an advantage at all.
Jiang Jingcheng quickly turned on the computer. He had better focus on work. If he thought about these things again, his head would explode. He knew that he still had a lot of work to do, but now he could not calm down at all. His mind was full of Gu Manman’s figure.
Gu Manman was capricious in front of Jiang Jingcheng. At first, he thought that no matter which way he saw her, she was detestable. But now, when he thought of her various appearances, he felt that she was strangely a little cute. He was scared by this thought. What was wrong with him now?
Unlike Jiang Jingcheng’s complex feeling, Gu Yan’s mood was very stable and calm. It was entirely for a design, a huge design that she had returned to Annan City.
