Chapter 553 - Crushing Lan Xing 1 Update 5
Chapter 553 of "Assistant to My Contracted Husband" opens presenting twists: Jian Ran responded indifferently and then withdrew her small hand from the womanâs arm.âSorryâŚI thinkâŚalthough... Keep following!
Jian Ran responded indifferently and then withdrew her small hand from the womanâs arm.âSorryâŚ
I thinkâŚ
although the Lan Xing director means well, Gu Mochen is a person who clearly rewards and punishes.
He shouldnât change the companyâs rules just because of some words from old employees.
This competition format, as long as itâs established by Gu Mochen, is company policyâŚâ
After pausing, Jian Ran saw the satisfied curve of Gu Mochenâs lips and continued to speak.
âIf Gu Mochen approves this for the sake of giving Lan Xing director faceâŚ
Iâm afraid his own employees would not be convinced.â
Gu Mochenâs lips curved up more in satisfaction.
In plain terms, Jian Ran was praising him to high heaven.
Making him satisfiedâŚ
Also leaving Lan Xing speechlessâŚ
He was bound to reject Lan Xingâs suggestion.
âMmmâŚ
Miss Jian makes a good point.â
âGu Mochen, youâŚ
Lan Xing glared hatefully at Jian Ran and immediately blurt out, âRanran, Iâm doing this all for you.
Please donât bite the hand that feeds you.â
Jian Ran slightly narrowed her eyes and fearlessly met the challenge head-on.
âDirector Lan XingâŚ
sorry, itâs precisely because I recognize true kindness that I am doing thisâŚâ
With that, Jian Ran continued.
âIf you let me nowâŚ
isnât it also a way for you to mask your capabilities in public?
On the contrary, if you overtake me before the end of the monthâŚ, then after being successfully appointed as the director, you can gracefully step down and let me take the position of the design department director.
Then, everyone would surely sing your praises.â
Lan Xing: ââŚâ
What Jian Ran meant wasâŚ
she couldnât let go nowâŚ
If capable, then let go after winning the competition.
This little vixen, she knows very well that I canât win.
âIâŚâ
Seeing Lan Xing hold back from speaking, Jian Ran feigned innocence and asked.
âOh myâŚ
It slipped my mindâŚ
Perhaps, Director Lan Xing, you canât win against me at allâŚ
Whatâs the point of stepping down nowâŚâ
âNonsenseâŚ
As an old-timer in the design department, I have more than enough skills to beat you, itâs a piece of cake.â
âWell, if thatâs the caseâŚ
then Iâm really looking forward to it.â
Having said that, Jian Ran smiled brilliantly, positively radiant and luminousâŚ
Lan Xing realized sheâd been tricked and couldnât help but feel frustrated and resentful.
The little vixen, sheâs got the guts.
Gu Mochen watched appreciatively as Jian Ran showed off her quick wit.
He had already experienced her sharp tongue that morning.
Now, watching Jian Ran outwit others with her eloquence, he couldnât help but feel extremely pleased.
Gu Mochenâs lips twitched slightlyâŚ
Jian Ran wasnât about to let Gu Mochen off easy either.
âWhat do you think, Gu Mochen?â
âMiss Jian is rightâŚ
First, the Gu Family is very fairâŚ
Thereâs no room for favoritism or cheatingâŚ
Second, I also thinkâŚ
Lan Xing, since youâre willing to step asideâŚ
itâs better to win the competition and legitimately give the director position to Jian Ran after, rather than taking such a big detour nowâŚ
If someone didnât know better, they might think youâre scared of losing, hence this pretense.â
Gu Mochen spoke decisively, every word landing heavily on Lan Xingâs face, as if slapping her.
How it feltâŚ
Gu Mochen and Jian Ran seemed to be playing off each other.
I originally came here to elevate my own status, but I didnât expect to be so utterly humiliated.
Lan Xing was now in a rage.
âYesâŚ
Gu Mochen, I understandâŚ
Thank you for the reminder.â
âMmm.â
Gu Mochen casually acknowledged then looked at Jian Ran with a doting expression.
âI have something to discuss with Jian Ran alone regarding the Bon project.
Since thereâs nothing else, Lan Xing, you may leave.â
âOkay, Gu MochenâŚâ
Lan Xing, seething with resentment but unable to reveal her anger in front of Gu Mochen, could only glare at Jian Ran.
As she brushed past Jian Ran, she bumped her sharply.
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
That bump from Lan Xing was quite forceful indeed.
Jian Ran tugged at the corner of her mouthâŚ
This Lan Xing truly had a fierce and aggressive side.
Such a woman was just as terrifying as Chu Yingying.
When driven to madness, thereâs nothing they wouldnât do.
Thinking of this, Jian Ran furrowed her browsâŚ
a trace of unease hidden at the bottom of her heart.
Though she didnât want to make enemies, it proved to beâŚ
As hard as reaching the heavens.
After Lan Xing left, Gu Mochen, who had been lounging casually, stood up and proactively walked towards where Jian Ran was.
Watching the tall and slender figure of the man approaching step by step, Jian Ranâs smile froze, and she felt a chill run down her scalp.
Having just dealt with Lan Xing, she had not forgotten that Gu Mochen was a wolfâŚ
Gu Lang!
She needed to keep her guard up against the wolf at all times.
âGu Mochen, may I inquire, is there an issue with the Bon design project that you need to discuss with me alone?â
Gu Mochen advanced toward Jian Ranâs delicate figure, standing above her and looking down at the woman with an exquisite face.
His mouth was curved in an inscrutable smile, loaded with deep meaning.
âNo work mattersâŚ
I just wanted to flirt with Mrs.
Gu during office hours.â
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
Flirt my ass.
Filled with disdain for Gu Mochen, Jian Ran then archly said.
âAs far as I knowâŚ
Iâm not that familiar with you, Gu MochenâŚ
Seems like the word âflirtâ is used rather loosely.â
âOh?
Donât people whoâve slept together count as familiar?â
Jian Ran: ââŚâ
Oh my godâŚ
Overcome with embarrassment, Jian Ran then felt the manâs large hand on her waist, pulling her into his embrace, and with lightning-fast speed, he pressed her onto the leather sofa beside them.
Before Jian Ran could react, a heavy masculine scent mixed with musk enveloped her.
Jian Ran was pinned down tightly beneath the man.
Though not exactly in broad daylightâŚ
it still was working hours.
What on earth did Gu Mochen plan to doâŚ
Jian Ran gazed up at the man above her, her eyes meeting his penetrating gaze, and her heart skipped a half-beat.
