Chapter 243 - How about calling me Brother Cheng?
Gu Yan stiffened. Indeed, Jiang Jingcheng was an employee in her studio now. It wasn’t appropriate to call him Mr. Jiang all the time. But what name was proper?
Gu Yan cast a glance at Jiang Jingcheng, who was looking at her with a vague smile on his face. Gu Yan suddenly became annoyed, saying, “What do you think shall I call you?”
Jiang Jingcheng looked Gu Yan up and down. He said with a smile, “President Gu, how about calling me ‘Cheng’?”
Gu Yan hesitated, “Cheng? Isn’t that too intimate?”
Jiang Jingcheng replied with a smile, “Too intimate? So, President Gu, I must be older than you. How about calling me Brother Cheng?”
Gu Yan looked at the sanctimonious man. She hadn’t expected Jiang Jingcheng who looked decent wasn’t serious sometimes. It was true that we couldn’t judge a person only by appearance!
Gu Yan wasn’t going to talk to Jiang Jingcheng anymore, so she said, “I’ll call you Jingcheng. That’s settled.” Then she turned around and went to her office.
When Gu Yan left, Jiang Jingcheng followed her with his eyes, a weird smile appearing on his face. He murmured, “Gu Yan, you’re the type of girl I like. You’ll belong to me sooner or later!”
Jiang Jingcheng got down to business in the morning, which surprised other colleagues very much. Many new employees would take two or three days to get right to work when they entered a new working environment. While Jiang Jingcheng looked like a senior employee on his first day at work.
Besides, Jiang Jingcheng looked handsome and was an overseas returnee as well, who seemed to have a large fortune. Therefore, many female employees of the studio couldn’t help being close to him.
But Jiang Jingcheng was polite to everyone. He didn’t show any impatience or too much intimacy.
In Gu Yan’s office, the assistant couldn’t help glancing out of the door when she reported to Gu Yan on the work. Seeing Jiang Jingcheng’s handsome profile, she couldn’t help blushing.
Gu Yan noticed her abnormal behavior and said with a smile, “What’s going on? Do you fall in love with him on his first working day?”
The assistant lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Gu Yan, with her face redder. She mumbled, “I’m not the only one who is interested in him. Several people have wandered in front of Mr. Jiang four or five times this morning.”
Gu Yan looked out of the door and said, “Darling, you should take the initiative if you’re interested in him. Jiang Jingcheng is really excellent. If you could marry him, you’d be better off for the rest of your life!”
The assistant gradually calmed down. She said to Gu Yan in low spirits, “Mr. Jiang certainly dislikes me. After all, as an overseas returnee, he has broadened his horizons. He must know all kinds of women.”
Gu Yan pinched the assistant’s face, “You silly girl, don’t feel inferior. You’re so cute and so good at work, indicating that you’re excellent too. Although he is an overseas returnee, he is still your subordinate. In a word, now you have a higher status than him. Why couldn’t you deserve him?”
The assistant was elated after hearing Gu Yan’s words. By that time, she was already thinking of the beautiful days with Jiang Jingcheng in the future. She couldn’t help looking at Jiang Jingcheng again, who was speaking softly to the female workers gathering around him.
The assistant became low-spirited, “But I still don’t know whether Mr. Jiang has a girlfriend.”
Hearing what the assistant said, Gu Yan handed the finished documents to her and said, “That’s a problem. How about asking him out to dinner when we have time? I will ask him for you!”
The assistant was satisfied with Gu Yan’s advice. She said, “Alright. It’s very kind of you, President Gu. I’m going to work.”
Gu Yan smiled, “But you must know you should work hard at work. If I’m informed that you’re absent minded at work, I will not only refuse to help you, but also fire you. Then you can’t get close to Jiang Jingcheng!”
The assistant got a fright. Then she said, “President Gu, I promise I’ll work hard. Please don’t fire me!”
Gu Yan said, “Fine. Get to work!”
Then the assistant hurried out of Gu Yan’s office. When she just ran into Jiang Jingcheng, who was going to ask Gu Yan something, she blushed and ran away with her head down.
Jiang Jingcheng entered Gu Yan’s office and asked with a smile, “President Gu, what happened to the assistant? Why is her face so red? Is she sick?”
Gu Yan replied with a smile, “She is really sick. Lovesickness!”
“Oh?” Jiang Jingcheng was stunned.
Gu Yan knew she couldn’t talk to him about her assistant at that time, so she changed the topic. “Mr. Jiang, stop talking about her. What’s the matter?”
Jiang Jingcheng questioned, “Do you call me Mr. Jiang again?”
Gu Yan patted her head and said with a smile, “Sorry, I forgot again. OK, Jingcheng, what’s up?”
Jiang Jingcheng smiled and said, “President Gu, let me tell you something. I find there are some problems in our studio, such as the division of labor and responsibilities of personnel. For example, I find several people are in charge of the same job while no one is explicitly in charge of some other jobs.”
“That’s bad for our studio, President Gu. In this way, it’s difficult to improve the work efficiency and business quality of our studio!”
Hearing what Jiang Jingcheng said, Gu Yan became serious. She said, “It is my negligence. I’ve been overwhelmed since the studio was set up. I really haven’t realized these problems. Without your reminder, there will be a big problem in the long run. I know the importance of the division of labor. Thank you!”
Jiang Jingcheng replied with a smile, “Well, the onlookers see most clearly. Even without my warning, President Gu will certainly find out after a while. It’s just a matter of time.”
Gu Yan was satisfied with Jiang Jingcheng’s reply, although she knew he was flattering. She said with a smile, “Come on, just stop flattering. I know a lot about my own abilities.”
Gu Yan thought for a while and said, “Jingcheng, I’m really busy these days. Since you don’t have a specific job right now and it is you who found the problems, could you take charge of this job?”
