18: Chapter 18 Thank you Mr.
Gu for the undue praise (1)_1 18: Chapter 18 Thank you Mr.
Gu for the undue praise (1)_1 The space’s color palette should not exceed three, which is a cautionary reminder given to every aspiring professional designer.
Jian Ran chose to start here for two reasons.
First, this issue is the most fundamental; if made, the error must be sternly punished.
Second, Jian Ran was certain that Lan Xing would only pay attention to the design sample when reviewing the design diagram and not notice the color matching in the corners.
Sure enough, she fell into the trap.
Jian Ran hooked the corner of her lips, watching Lan Xing’s face turn dark with rage, and continued to speak.
“Gu Family has clear rules against plagiarism and perfunctory submissions by designers.
Manager, you’ve been working for so long, became numb to it, and taking it lightly is human nature…
If you apologize to Mr.
Gu, this might just blow over, after all, you are the manager and have been with Gu Family for some time.”
Lan Xing never expected Jian Ran to press the charge of perfunctory submissions upon her, agape with shock once more.
It seemed like Jian Ran had pointed out a clear path for her, but in reality, it was pushing her into another abyss.
Having worked at Gu Family for many years, taking advantage of seniority, and slacking off!
This accusation made her utterly defenseless.
Jian Ran’s lips pressed together as she calmly raised her eyes towards the man in front of her.
If Gu Mochen indulged Lan Xing, it would mean that Gu Family’s explicit regulations were nothing but empty words.
Gu Family’s great influence in Yuncheng over the years was based on Gu Mochen’s decisive and meticulous approach.
Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, Gu Mochen’s lips curved subtly, his handsome face devoid of excess emotion, his gaze fixed on Jian Ran’s fair little face, enigmatic.
Lan Xing clenched her teeth; at this point, she could only shift the blame onto Jian Ran.
Gu, actually, this design drawing was done by Jian Ran; it has nothing to do with me.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Mochen’s tall figure approached Jian Ran, looking down at the woman in front of him with pursed lips.
“Jian Ran, did you make this design drawing?”
Jian Ran had anticipated that Lan Xing would hold on to her as a lifeline when cornered and nonchalantly shook her head.
With the man’s nearly one-meter-ninety height looming before her, Jian Ran spoke calmly, despite the invisible pressure.
“I’ve only been at Gu Family for ten days.
How could I interfere with the tasks Mr.
Gu assigned to the manager?
Moreover, why would the manager casually hand over such tasks to an ordinary employee like me?
Unless, is she relying on her seniority to bully me, a new employee?”
“Old employees bullying the new ones has become the norm in every company.
Manager, you have done this yourself often.
But this design, since it was directly instructed by Mr.
Gu, implies that the client is an important partner.
Your casual approach, and now deferring the blame onto an employee when problems arise, are you not completely disregarding the company’s interests?”
Jian Ran spoke emphatically, without batting an eyelid, while Lan Xing turned utterly pale.
Originally intending to pin the responsibility on Jian Ran, she was instead accused by the woman of disregard for the company’s interests.
After Jian Ran finished speaking and still feeling it wasn’t enough, she looked up again at Gu Mochen in front of her.
Because of the difference in height and angle, she could only see his chiseled jaw, making him appear all the more unfathomable.
Gu, as you’ve witnessed, I was just trying to speak on behalf of the manager, but I didn’t expect her to bite back instead.
I’ve joined Gu Family with earnestness, became regularized in the shortest possible time, and also helped the company secure the design project from Dongheng International.
I have shown nothing but wholehearted loyalty.
Gu can give me an explanation, even though I am just an ordinary employee.”
