“But when I originally chose to work at the Gu Family, I heard that President Gu, you have clear rewards and punishments.”
As Jian Ran spoke, her eyes reddened, and tears swirled in her eyes, stubbornly refusing to fall.
Her sincerity and earnestness were just part of her act.
Gu Mochen’s gaze fell on her faintly reddened eyes, a flash of appreciation crossing his ink-dark pupils. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
This Jian Ran, turning black into white, and speaking of her grievances with such justified indignation, indeed possessed the ultimate skill of playing the pig to eat the tiger.
Clever, likable…
Lan Xing’s face turned ashen, originally thinking that Jian Ran only had the face of a vixen, not expecting her to set up a trap, eloquent and sharp-tongued.
“Hmm, Lan Xing, apologize.”
Although Gu Mochen only spoke two words, they were chilling to the bone, indescribably intimidating.
Grinding her teeth, Lan Xing said resentfully, “Jian Ran, I am really very sorry about this.”
Jian Ran curved her lips slightly, “It’s fine.”
“Deduct three months of bonus, and if there’s a next time, Lan Xing, you can step down from your position as head of the design department.”
“Yes, President Gu, I understand.”
“Alright, you may leave now.
Leave the design drawings, and also, Jian Ran, stay behind.”
Lan Xing, frightened by Gu Mochen’s stern words and powerful presence, shivered violently, not daring to say any more, glared fiercely at Jian Ran before quickly leaving.
Jian Ran pressed her lips together, not exactly overjoyed but certainly feeling a sense of retribution.
Initially, she had poured a cup of coffee over herself to dissipate the woman’s hostility, not expecting her to become even more aggressive.
Thus, a proper counterattack was necessary to show she was not one to be bullied easily.
Now that they had become enemies, Lan Xing would probably not dare to make things difficult for her in the short term.
However, why did Gu Mochen want to keep her back?
“President Gu, do you have any other orders?”
“Jian Ran, your design work is good, it can be selected.”
Jian Ran’s expression changed slightly, and she met the man’s inscrutable ink-dark gaze, raising an eyebrow, “President Gu, I don’t understand what you mean.”
The man’s long fingers brushed over the design pages, as if anticipating the woman’s objection, he spoke casually, “To be able to use complementary, contrasting, and analogous colors in the design like this, at such a high level, currently in the Gu Family’s design department, you are the only one.”
Jian Ran: “…”
Jian Ran successfully caught the man’s eyes narrowing with amusement.
Could it be…
Lan Xing couldn’t do it, could she?
She had deliberately raised the difficulty level to make it look like Lan Xing’s work.
Unbeknownst to her, it seems she had made it too difficult.
The key point was, this man knew everything, just watching her perform with such an unperturbed, profound demeanor.
Realizing this, Jian Ran decided not to deny it and spoke openly, “Thank you for the undue praise, Mr.
Gu.”
She held her breath, knowing that Gu Mochen was meticulous in his work, so she would have to ask for a favor on a personal level from Gu Mochen.
Replacing the title ‘President Gu’ with ‘Mr.
Gu’ made his gaze deepen even further, and as the two came extremely close to each other, Jian Ran could almost feel his hot breath on the top of her head.
From his superior position, Gu Mochen viewed the allure of Jian Ran’s figure without restraint, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“Hmm, it’s good that you know your place.
I’ve already arranged for the cleaning lady to take care of the Pansy on your desk.”
That bunch of Pansy, she noticed it when she got to work in the morning—utterly displeasing, labeled as a gift from Qin Mu.
Jian Ran: “…”
The Pansy were from Qin Mu, a message asking her to “Please think of me”.
So, Gu Mochen went around in such a big circle, just to talk about the flowers?
Jian Ran was somewhat disarranged.
