Chapter289 A smart woman

“Everybody, quiet. Please quiet. I have something to tell you guys.” Gu Yan said. She stood in the middle of the office, and there were many people around her. She looked excited. Her rosy cheeks under the sunlight made her become more charming.

People stopped their work after hearing her voice. Everyone looked at her and focused on her every word. They were full of expectations.

“Oh! Can we stop working overtime? We have been working overtime for a longtime. Maybe we don’t need to do that anymore.”

“Yeah… We may not be that tired anymore.”

“Do you see that? President Gu is excited. It must be some good news. I’m sure it’s a celebration. Maybe it’s a dinner party.”

People were whispering with full of expectations while waiting Gu Yan’s good news.

But beyond everyone’s expectation, the news they were waiting for was a complex and troublesome project.

“Everyone may hear about that the project of the south of the city is tendering these days. All we need to do is try our best to earn this project, so you guys need to make persistent efforts and work overtime tonight.” Looking at her exhausted staffs, Gu Yan felt a little reluctant to do that. But she didn’t have choice because the project was crucial. She had to encourage them to persist.

“Recently the studio is really busy, and everyone works overtime almost every day. It seems that I should give them a holiday after the project in order to make it up to them.” Gu Yan thought.

“President Gu, we have been exhausted for a long time. Can we get a holiday in advance? Then we can have a good rest for a better work.”

A man far from Gu Yan said. His voice was magnetic. Gu Yan couldn’t figure out who was speaking just now, but she could know the direction of that sound.

“I know you have been working very hard these days, but this project is very important for us. Only work overtime today, and I will give you guys a holiday after we earn the project.” Gu Yan said.

There was not any complaint after she said these words.

“President Gu, why don’t we have a dinner together? We haven’t had dinner together for a long time.” Someone said loudly, relieving the awkward atmosphere.

“Yes… That’s right.” Everyone agreed for that proposal.

“All right, let’s go out for dinner this week. When and where it’s up to you guys, okay?” Gu Yan said. She was delighted when seeing so many smiling faces.

“Ok… All right. Be quiet. As soon as this project is done, we will go out for a good time.” Gu Yan had to stop their discussing because they were gradually talking loudly.

“Go back to work.” Gu Yan said strongly. There was determination in her eyes.

After that, the staff stopped talking and went back to their seats. Then they started their hard work.

For a while, everyone was full of energy. Their exhaustion was gone. They were doing their work wholeheartedly. The office was full of everyone’s fighting spirit again.

Gu Yan didn’t notice the different look than usual on Jiang Jingcheng’s face.

She saw him was thinking about something and guessed he must care about the project, which made her trust him more. “How dedicated he is!” She thought.

“Hey, Jingcheng. Come to my office. I got something to tell you!” Gu Yan said when she approached Jiang Jingcheng’s desk. She looked at the data on his computer.

Jiang Jingcheng was shocked by the familiar voice. He looked up at Gu Yan and stood up at once.

“President Gu, what did you say?” Looking at Gu Yan’s serious face, Jiang Jingcheng felt more nervous because he was not sure if she noticed something abnormal.

“I asked you to come to my office with me. I want to discuss something with you!” Gu Yan didn’t feel something wrong. She was just surprised why Jiang Jingcheng reacted too much.

“Okay, got it. President Gu.” Jiang Jingcheng heaved a great sigh of relief in his heart and thought, “Scared me!”

He stopped what he was doing and followed Gu Yan into her office.

He thought as he walked, “She looked so serious. Did she have already known the relationship between Chen Qian and me? If so, she is more to the guy than meets the eye.” He glanced at her carefully. Then he lowered his head and waited what would happen next.

The air was frozen. Jiang jingcheng had his heart in his mouth.

“You must hear about the project of the south of the city?” Gu Yan took off her coat, sat on chair and started to look at the files on her desk. From time to time, she just looked up at Jiang Jingcheng.

“Yes, I heard that from you just now. President Gu, what can I do for you?” Jiang Jingcheng said with respect and bent his body.

“The person in charge of the project is unavailable, so I want you to follow the project. What do you think?” Gu Yan said. She continued to look down at files and waited for the response from Jiang Jingcheng.

“Me? President Gu, do you mean that you want me to take the project?” Jiang Jingcheng was so surprised because he couldn’t figure out why did Chen Qian give him the crucial project. Did she already know about his relationship with Chen Qian? Did she just want to test him?

“Any problems?” Chen Qian’s tone was cold, which made him feel uncomfortable.

“President Gu, the project is very crucial for our studio, and I feel extremely flattered because I have been here only for less than a month.” Jiang Jingcheng pretended to be not accepting. He reminded himself of being not fooled because he knew that she was more to the guy than met the eye.

“We all know that you have good ability. I believe you can make it. You can ask Assistant Liu if you have any questions related to the project. Any questions?” Gu Yan said with patience. She putted down files on her hands and looked up at him, who felt extremely flattered.
