Jiang Jingcheng finally knocked on Gu Yan’s office door after making up his mind. This knock pulled Gu Yan back from her messy thoughts and freed Gu Manman from an awkward situation. After Gu Yan let Jiang Jingcheng enter, he walked into the office in an orderly manner.
Gu Manman and Gu Yan turned to look at him simultaneously, which made him momentarily speechless and not know what to say. However, when he saw Gu Yan’s ugly bad complexion, he had a general idea about what just happened. It seemed that there was no happy conversation between her and Gu Manman today.
Without asking the reason, Jiang Jingcheng felt that everything before him obviously indicated that Gu Yan thought Gu Manman’s design plan wouldn’t work. Otherwise, how could Gu Yan have such a bad look on her face? He couldn’t think of any other possibility except for this one.
He looked at Gu Yan’s terrible face and subconsciously wanted to plead for Gu Manman. However, when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that he shouldn’t say them out loud.
Who was he to Gu Manman? And why should he plead for her? She had not worked under him for long, but she had already caused a lot of trouble. He might be happy if Gu Yan fired her.
However, it was very strange that now looking at the awkward scene between Gu Manman and Gu Yan, he did not actually feel happy. He just wanted Gu Manman to stay in the studio for some reason. Although she might cause a lot of trouble, he was willing to deal with it for her.
And yet he could not intercede for her so straightforwardly. He was not someone special to Gu Manman. If he did plead for her, it would only make Gu Yan suspicious. Right now, Gu Yan and Gu Manman just blankly stared at him, waiting for him to speak.
Jiang Jingcheng’s mind went blank all of a sudden. In this case, he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know what to say to have Gu Yan allow Gu Manman to stay in the studio.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly captured it. If Gu Yan was in a bad mood because of Gu Manman, then it must be that the design work Gu Manman had made was not good, and she was not respectful enough to Gu Yan.
Jiang Jingcheng knew Gu Yan well. As long as Gu Manman’s work was excellent enough, Gu Yan could tolerate the lack of courtesy in Gu Manman’s personality. Judging from the current situation, it should be that Gu Manman’s design work was terrible that made Gu Yan look unhappy, or maybe it was that and also Gu Manman didn’t show enough respect to Gu Yan.
It seemed that this was what had just happened in the office. Jiang Jingcheng revived what had just happened in his mind and thought that this was the truth.
If Gu Yan was dissatisfied with Gu Manman because what she had designed was not worthy of Gu Yan’s attention, he had already made another design work and it should work. Although the design work he hastily made might not be perfect, he was still confident in his professional skills.
He was confident that what he had designed was better than Gu Manman’s. “If Gu Yan does not like Gu Manman’s design work, then what I’ve designed must be better than Gu Manman’s, right? At least, it should be able to satisfy Gu Yan and calm her down gradually. As long as she’s not angry, a lot of things will be easy to deal with.”
Jiang Jingcheng knew Gu Yan well, and Gu Yan was not the kind of person to fuss over every little thing. Some things could be settled.
“Since Gu Yan is angry because of Gu Manman’s design work, then I’ll just take out something that will make her less angry, right? This method is better than directly pleading to her for mercy on Gu Manman’s behalf.”
He couldn’t say that to Gu Yan directly. Although he had made a design work, if he presented it to Gu Yan directly, it would be different from Gu Manman handing it over to Gu Yan. He knew that those two ways of doing things would have different effects, so he naturally wanted to use the more appropriate method.
In such an awkward situation, Jiang Jingcheng felt that he’d keep his mouth shut. Gu Yan’s face was terrible now. No matter what he said or did now, it would be like adding fuel to the fire and he did not want her to be even angrier. If she was, then it would be half the result with twice the effort.
Jiang Jingcheng didn’t want to do that kind of useless work.
“Nothing. I just want to see if you have come to work.”
Gu Yan was stunned. “What’s Jiang Jingcheng talking about?” For a moment, she was speechless.
Jiang Jingcheng came up with a lame excuse and even he could not believe it. What kind of reason was that? How could Gu Yan believe something that even he did not believe? However, once he said it out loud, there was no way for him to take it back. After saying those words, he quickly left Gu Yan’s office.
After he got out of the office, his heart was still pounding. In such a short period, he had run his mind at a very high speed. He couldn’t believe that he had spent so much effort on Gu Manman, whom he had always hated before.
But now when he thought of the word “hate”, he seemed to feel that Gu Manman was not as annoying as before. Inexplicably, he felt that Gu Manman had many good qualities. Although sometimes she was too lively, this character allowed her to easily bring happiness to others.
In this way, Gu Manman was really a good girl.
“Creak.”
Gu Manman suddenly pushed the door open. She did not expect to see Jiang Jingcheng standing there when she opened the door. It could not be said that he was right there waiting for her, because she was not sure if he was there for her. He had already disappointed her too many times, so now she had learned to stop having delusions about him.
Moreover, she had been brooding over the fact that he had previously looked down on her. After all, she had been looked down on by the person she liked. She believed that whoever got that kind of treatment would not choose to let the matter go so easily.
Jiang Jingcheng’s thoughts had drifted far away. When Gu Manman suddenly opened the door, the noise pulled his thoughts back. The person he was thinking about just now was standing in front of him. It made him at a loss for words. He had thought of a good excuse before, but at this moment, he couldn’t even say it in front of Gu Manman’s cold face.
