Chapter 244 Welcome banquet
Jiang Jingcheng looked at Gu Yan’s eyes and said: “It’s my honor to share your cares and burdens!”
Jiang Jingcheng looked strange, but Gu Yan did not think too much. After Jiang Jingcheng left, she continued dealing with her own work.
Over the next few days, Gu Yan found that the work efficiency of employees was much higher than before. The atmosphere of the workplace was totally different compared with a few days ago, which made Gu Yan admire Jiang Jingcheng more.
When handing the documents to her assistant, Gu Yan found that the assistant still stood there. Gu Yan asked casually: “Do you have anything else?”
The assistant whispered: “President Gu, tomorrow is the weekend.”
Gu Yan asked curiously: “Yes, what’s wrong? Do you want to work overtime?”
The assistant waved her hand. She thought for a moment, made up her mind and said: “No. I just remembered you promised to have dinner with Vice President Jiang. How about tonight?”
Looking at the assistant’s blushed face, Gu Yan remembered she promised she would help the assistant ask whether Jiang Jingcheng was still single. Gu Yan suddenly understood the situation and said: “All right, let’s make it tonight. Invite all of our colleagues to hold a welcome banquet for Vice President Jiang. I’ll seek a chance to ask him.”
The assistant was overjoyed and said: “Thank you, President Gu.” Then she ran out of the office.
Gu Yan adjusted her clothes and smiled. All of the employees in the studio worked energetically those days, thus the performance this week was even as good as that of last month, which was really exciting news. Cheerfulness could be seen from employees’ gestures and expressions.
Gu Yan picked up her phone to check the time. It was time for lunch. She looked out of the glass window and saw that all employees were working hard with more enthusiasm. Gu Yan felt relieved.
Jiang Jingcheng was indeed a rare talent. He brought dramatic changes to the studio in just a few days. Gu Yan realized she should try her best to retain this talent and not let him be poached by other companies. Gu Yan really appreciated and admired Jiang Jingcheng.
“Take a break and I have something important to tell you.” Gu Yan stood in the center of the office. Other employees quickly surrounded her. She was tall, with an air of elegance and grace. People showed their envy, jealousy and admiration for her...
“President Gu, isn’t it about working overtime? There’s no need to be so secretive.” Someone said in a loud voice. Gu Yan could identify the voice came from behind. He seemed to deliberately speak in this way and Gu Yan couldn’t figure out the speaker.
Gu Yan looked around. Everyone was in low spirit. Only the assistant next to her blushed and lowered her head. The assistant occasionally peeped at Jiang Jingcheng, but immediately turned her attention back. She behaved with extreme caution, for fear of being seen through by others.
“Well, no overtime. You work hard this week, and we will not work overtime on the weekend. Besides, I think we should hold a welcome banquet for Jingcheng tonight. You can go wherever you want. You can discuss it together and then tell me your decision.” Gu Yan raised her eyebrows and spoke softly. Her voice was magnetic, showing both femininity and masculinity.
“Thank you, President Gu. I will keep working hard. Thank you for your support and I hope we can work together happily in the future.” Jiang Jingcheng said a few words politely and then bowed to the crowd. His expression didn’t change obviously, except that he smiled when he saw Gu Yan looking at him.
Jiang Jingcheng thought of the welcome banquet. In fact, he was not very fond of and even feel disgust for such things. He looked down upon this small studio and its employees. But he could only endure it for Chen Qian’s happiness.
“Jingcheng, just tell them where you would like to go tonight. Make yourself at home.” Gu Yan looked gently at Jiang Jingcheng. She took more care of him than of others. Everyone knew it.
“President Gu, it’s wise of you.”
“President Gu, you’re so nice. We finally don’t have to work overtime. It seems we’re going to have a good time in our studio.”
“Jiang Jingcheng is really a good guy and he is so capable.” Everybody cheered. They showed great enthusiasm for the welcome banquet and gave many suggestions.
“I know a really good restaurant. We can eat there. They say it will give a discount on Saturday.”
“I think it would be nice if we could go to the KTV after dinner.”
The discussion was intense. Only Gu Yan and Jiang Jingcheng didn’t join it. Gu Yan went back to her office to continue dealing with her work. Jiang Jingcheng seemed to have something urgent, so he left the company in a hurry.
The sound outside her office was lower and lower and finally faded away. Gu Yan suddenly remembered something. She looked at her phone. It was already half past one. It was quiet in the office since there was no one else at that moment, which made Gu Yan fearful.
Her mobile phone suddenly vibrated and changed the weird atmosphere in the office. Sitting in front of the table, Gu Yan also felt the extremely strong vibration, which strained her nerves. She jumped out of her chair with fear.
Sometimes one who was lonely for a long time was especially afraid of being alone. He was afraid of loneliness and solitude, and he was afraid of being cared about by no one. Only when the one who loved him was with him at all times could he keep away from such pain. Therefore, loneliness wasn’t exclusive to singles. All people were afraid of loneliness.
“Hello, Yichen. What’s the matter?” Gu Yan gently stroked her chest in order to calm herself down.
“Darling, are you still in the studio? I’ve been waiting for you downstairs. Why haven’t you come down yet? I saw that others left the studio. There’s no one now. I am afraid that I missed you.”
“Ah? Are you downstairs? Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Yes, I’m upstairs. Please wait a minute. I’ll go downstairs right now.” Gu Yan looked out of the window, seeing Mo Yichen who was leaning against the car and looking up at her. He was tall, wearing a fine suit that sparkled in the sun. He looked more like the Mr. Right in Gu Yan’s heart. He was riding on a silver steed and running towards his Cinderella.
“OK, hurry up. Let’s have a meal.” Mo Yichen said softly. He gave all his tenderness to Gu Yan. He gave her everything he thought he could give. She was his whole life!
