Chapter 728 Be delayed forever

Gu Manman knew that there was a continuation to Gu Yan’s words, but she did not expect that it would start with a “but”. Her emotions, which had just been calmed down, suddenly became nervous again.

“I’ve decided that we’ll use your plan for the final design. Don’t be nervous.”

Gu Yan wanted to voice her concerns, but when she saw Gu Manman’s nervous expression, she felt that she should comfort her first because her transition word had been indeed too abrupt.

Hearing Gu Yan’s words, Gu Manman breathed a sigh of relief. However, if this were all what Gu Yan wanted to say, she would not have used a transition word. Gu Manman knew that her boss still had something to say to her.

“I want to take it slow with this matter. I won’t inform everyone that you made this design work for now, and I’ll communicate with the clients first. When they’re satisfied with it, we’ll tell others that you’re the one who made it. Do you think you can accept it?”

Gu Yan knew that the request she had made was too much. Although she was already satisfied with the design work that Gu Manman had made, she did not know how their clients would like it. If she told it to everyone in the studio now that Gu Manman was the one who had made the design, it would be inevitable for the others to overthink it.

Hearing Gu Yan’s request, Gu Manman felt completely at ease. Since Gu Yan had said so, she must have her considerations and Gu Manman chose to understand them. But if Gu Yan wanted to do something that would harm her interests, Gu Manman would not easily allow it.

Gu Manman herself knew very well that such a thing was unlikely to happen. Furthermore, she had heard some of the recent rumors in the studio. Although everyone seemed to be nice to her there, it was inevitable that some of them envied her for getting such a good opportunity.

Some people thought that in terms of seniority, Gu Manman would never be able to take this design project no matter what and they totally disliked it. However, Gu Manman could indeed be considered to have gotten this opportunity by pulling some strings, so she did not want to show off before everything was settled.

That was because she was not the kind of person that would get a swelled head. She would only be proud of herself until she could really get such a good design opportunity with her own strength in the future.

Although Gu Yan and Qi Changfeng did not say anything, Gu Manman knew very well why she could be in Gu Yan’s studio, and why she could get such a good opportunity that no one else could get. Gu Manman was very clear about why she could get these things.

She had never felt that her family background was anything special or different. But up till now, she had always enjoyed the benefits brought to her by her family background. Although she did not like this feeling, she had to admit that those benefits were real.

Now that Gu Yan said not to tell the others about this matter, it was in line with Gu Manman’s thoughts. In Gu Yan’s studio, other than Gu Yan and Jiang Jingcheng, no one else knew Gu Manman’s identity and background. Gu Manman wanted to make her own achievements and let her family see that she was no longer the little princess who needed their protection all the time.

Designing was her favorite thing to do. If she could do this well with her own efforts, she would be very happy, and that kind of happiness would be different from the kind out of the previous success she had achieved by relying on her family.

“Okay, no problem.”

Of course, Gu Manman agreed to Gu Yan’s proposal happily. Gu Yan did not expect Gu Manman to agree so readily, and for a moment, she was stunned. She had thought that Gu Manman would not be willing to accept this method and even had been thinking about how to persuade her.

She did not expect Gu Manman to agree so quickly. It seemed that Gu Manman was not the kind of person that she had imagined. Gu Yan could not help changing her opinion of Gu Manman in her heart. She had indeed been biased before.

It had to be said that Gu Manman’s design work amazed Gu Yan. After all, she had not placed much hope on it before. Today, when she saw Gu Manman’s design work, her eyes could not help lighting up.

When it came to designing, Gu Yan had always had a strict standard for it. Even the designs made by Jiang Jingcheng would sometimes make her feel that they were not satisfactory. But now, Gu Manman’s design work had actually made Gu Yan decide to put it into use immediately. Gu Yan was also a little surprised. It seemed that Gu Manman had a lot of qualities that she did not know.

Actually, Gu Yan was not feeling well today. Since she woke up in the morning, she had been feeling uncomfortable in her stomach. However, she was worried about the work in the studio, so she did not let herself rest at home. Instead, she endured the discomfort and came to the office. After all, the deadlines of many projects in the studio were coming.

Those projects included the design project in Gu Manman’s hands. And there were many other things that Gu Yan was worried about. Gu Yan thought to herself, “Since I’ve already returned to Annan City, I should focus on my work seriously. I don’t know how long I will stay here, so I’d better handle as many projects as possible.”

She had returned to Annan City for the design project in her hands. But now that this project was nearing its end. When it was completed, no matter what, she would have to return to Mo’s family or pay a visit to them. She knew that the matter between her and Mo Yichen couldn’t be delayed forever.

She had been already feeling unwell, and when she thought of these things, her complexion became even worse. Gu Manman did not have anything to say to Gu Yan now, and she only waited for her boss to ask her to leave the office. However, Gu Yan did not look good by her face, and it could be said that she looked terrible.

Gu Manman was even a little worried, not knowing whether she should leave or stay.

Just as she was feeling uneasy, someone knocked on the door. She heaved a sigh of relief. “At least I don’t have to face Gu Yan’s terrifying expression alone.”

The person who entered the office was Jiang Jingcheng. He could not wait any longer outside the room. He thought to himself, “Since I can’t hear anything from outside, I might as well enter directly. After all, the studio’s matters cannot always be decided by Gu Yan. I need to get to know them as well. Otherwise, how will I manage the studio when Gu Yan is not in Annan City?”

Jiang Jingcheng did not want to admit that actually, he had been worried about Gu Manman. He was worried that she would be blamed because of her poor work. After all, the requirements of this design project were not simple. He could not guarantee that Gu Yan would be satisfied with even his own design work.
