Gu is very worrying (1) Gu Family, Design Department:
Jian Ran left the design department in the morning just fine, but when she returned in the afternoon, she was limping slightly and had changed into a pair of new Chanel pants.
In just half a day, it had truly been a disaster.
Lan Xing was feeling haughty because they were about to secure two or three design projects, looking for trouble with Jian Ran now and then.
Jian Ran tried her best to turn a blind eye.
The internal line rang, and Jian Ran quickly answered the call.
“Hello, this is Jian Ran from the design department.”
“It’s me.”
The familiar deep voice of the man came through the phone, causing a slight shock in Jian Ran’s eyes, which then returned to calm.
“Mr.
Gu!”
“Han Family’s Mr.
Han just called.
The Han Family’s new building design project—it’s yours to handle.”
Hearing Gu Mochen’s words, Jian Ran froze on the spot.
Han Siming—was he here to humiliate her?
Jian Ran gripped the phone tightly and said in a hoarse voice, “Mr.
Gu, I’m worried that I’m not up to the task.”
“You know about my relationship with Siming, he’s your brother-in-law after all.
You’re the most outstanding designer in the Gu Family.
Initially, I was planning to recommend you for the Han Family’s design project, because it’s meant for you and no one else.”
Jian Ran felt her scalp tingle at the words “brother-in-law” spoken by Gu Mochen.
“Yes.”
Jian Ran could understand the deep meaning behind Gu Mochen’s words without needing to ponder it—Han Family’s new building project was a big deal, worth much more than the so-called multimillion-dollar deal of Lan Xing.
If she could land the Han Family’s design project, she would naturally have a firmer grasp on the competition for the supervisor position.
Just the thought of having work ties with Han Siming in the future made Jian Ran feel unwell.
“Mr.
Gu, if there is nothing else, I’m going to hang up now.”
“Jian Ran, you knew Siming before.”
Jian Ran: “…”
The man’s words were not a question, but an assertion.
Jian Ran’s breath hitched, and it took her a moment to recover her voice.
“Mr.
Gu, why would you say that?”
“Siming wouldn’t casually hand over a project worth several hundred million to a newcomer, unless he trusts you, or…”
“We were classmates before, just ordinary classmates…
and that’s it.”
Listening to Jian Ran’s crisp response, Gu Mochen’s thin lips pursed slightly.
“I heard from Siming that he had a crush on a girl during his student days.
So, you know her?”
Jian Ran: “…”
Fortunately, Gu Mochen was on the phone with her.
If the man had been standing in front of her at this moment, the expression on her face would have been entirely visible to him, and Jian Ran felt incredibly awkward and anxious.
“I know her, a classmate from the same class.
We had a pretty good relationship, but we’ve lost contact now.”
“Yes.”
Gu Mochen said something more, but Jian Ran just provided some insincere responses and then hung up the phone.
She didn’t know whether it was irritation or worry.
Irritation over the future interactions with Han Siming, worry about how Gu Mochen would react after learning about the situation.
It would, without doubt, be awkward!
So melodramatic!
Regarding Gu Mochen’s capabilities and mind, even after working with him during this period, Jian Ran realized she had only scratched the surface.
This man was unfathomable.
As she left work, Jian Ran moved with some difficulty, furrowing her beautiful eyes, feeling a burning pain in her thigh.
When she reached the Gu Family’s entrance, she unexpectedly spotted Han Siming not too far away.
The man leaned against the door, gazing longingly in her direction.
Seeing Jian Ran, Han Siming took the initiative to come forward.
He wanted to apologize for his inappropriate remarks about the unwritten rules in the office earlier.
