Chapter 350 Debts should be paid
Gu Yan took a long sigh when she looked at the large empty studio with scattered documents piled up on the floor and thick dust on the desks.
Manla who was beside her frowned and gave Gu Yan a meaningful look.
How could Manla not know that Gu Yan cherished the studio very much? But suddenly, Gu Yan had nothing. She must be very sad.
This studio, which had not been in operation for a long time, would soon belong to others. Looking at everything here, Gu Yan remembered every bit of effort. It slowly grew under her careful cultivation, but it was as fragile as human beings.
“It’s okay. We are still young, and it’s not a big deal to make a comeback!” Manla put one hand on Gu Yan’s shoulder, and she stepped back a few steps subconsciously, touching the corner of the desk and stopping.
Gu Yan pursed her lips, looked at Manla, and said with a sweet smile, “Don’t worry. I’m fine and I am just reluctant to leave...”
Inadvertently, Gu Yan felt like crying, and tears ran out of her eyes. Gu Yan turned over to pretend to pack the messy documents on the table, and wiped the tears while Manla was not paying attention.
Containing her emotions, Gu Yan strived to cheer herself up.
Gu Yan was confused. She had no idea about where she should go after she lost her studio. She was confused about her future and even lost her motivation. In the past, the studio was her dream and being a strong woman was the belief that supported her all the time. But now, the opportunity to realize her dream was lost. Would she have another chance?
“Wait. By the way, Gu Yan, my employer is recruiting. If you don’t find a suitable job, you can come at any time you want.” Manla pretended to say inadvertently, but her eyes locked on Gu Yan worriedly.
It was well known that Gu Yan spent all her savings after the project plan leaked from her studio. In the future, she really didn’t know how to live her life. Without the studio, Gu Yan was always blocked to find a similar job outside.
“Sorry, Miss Gu. You are too good. Our company does not have a suitable position for you. I am really sorry, and you will definitely find a more suitable one.”
“Miss Gu, you are indeed a very talented person, but our company really cannot afford your salary. I’m very sorry.”
Repeatedly rejected, Gu Yan no longer had hope for job hunting. There was no doubt that it must be Chen Qian who was behind her back, whose purpose was to make Gu Yan shrink back from difficulties, give up early, and leave Mo Yichen.
“It’s okay. I recently have worked part-time at the convenience store next to my community. I am doing some tutoring at night, so I can support myself. It’s very easy and very nice for me to have ability to support myself.”
Manla’s heart jumped, and she worried a little about her. Gu Yan, who was so insistent on her dream, now looked like a withered flower without vitality. It seemed that she was a person without a soul.
Manla didn’t know how to persuade Gu Yan, but she believed that time was the best healer. Gu Yan could certainly figure it out. After pondering for a moment, Gu Yan stood up, and there was a big smile on her face.
“Let’s go, Yan. I invite you to dinner. Anyway, women can’t wrong themselves!” Manla pulled her cell phone out of her pocket. It was at exactly twelve o’clock and it was lunch time. She was excited and looked at Gu Yan standing beside her.
Gu Yan paused. When she was about to agree to have lunch with Manla, a group of people broke into her studio.
“Hey, who are you?” Manla questioned these people who were leading the trouble.
Those people stopped and stared at Gu Yan and Manla. One of the leading men who was aged said, “We are looking for a lady named Gu Yan!”
“I am Gu Yan. What do you want to do with me?” Gu Yan was dizzy. So many people came to the studio aggressively, looking for her by her name. What did they want to do?
“Here is the thing. Previously, an employee in your studio called Jiang Jingcheng borrowed a sum of money from me in your name. This is an IOU he gave me, and a sign!”
The man handed the IOU over, and everyone took out a crumpled IOU from the pocket and showed it to Gu Yan. Gu Yan took over the IOUs one by one and checked them carefully. Out of question, it was the handwriting of Jiang Jingcheng.
Manla pushed Gu Yan with her arm, and saw Gu Yan was calm. She finally nodded after a long time. Manla’s fingers trembled slightly and she took over the IOUs in Gu Yan’s hands, and checked them several times. The amount of each IOU was not large, but she was afraid that Gu Yan couldn’t be able to pay this money back for a while after adding them up.
“You should find the one who borrowed money from you and ask him to pay back the money.” Manla yelled at these unreasonable people who asked for money with IOUs.
Hearing what Manla said, these people talked around Gu Yan and Manla. The noise made Manla’s head spin. Manla had talked with them one after another for about half an hour. She was powerless to argue with them.
“Everyone, be quiet! Please be quiet!” Gu Yan roared aloud.
They closed their mouths obediently and stared at Gu Yan like a hungry wolf. At this time, Gu Yan was like a little lamb that was going to be slaughtered by others and unable to resist.
“I will deal with these IOUs after I carefully check them. Please rest assured. If they have legal effect, I will pay you the debts written in accordance with the IOUs. Please don’t worry.”
Gu Yan was still calm, with deep sea-like eyes staring on everyone present. Manla didn’t know why. Gu Yan was calm and steady, which made her surprised. So many annoying things had made Gu Yan grow a lot, which was the only thing that pleased her.
“Now, please register your mobile phone number, the amount of arrears and the amount in this notebook. After I check them, I will call you.” Gu Yan raised the small notebook in her hand and signaled it to everyone. Then the notebook was thrown on the table, and the crowd pushed and wrote something on the small notebook.
After registering the information, the crowd hurriedly left Gu Yan’s studio. Gu Yan, watching the studio become quiet again, was very calm, and she enjoyed this moment.
“Did you just promise that you will pay the debts?” Manla looked at Gu Yan who was not panic when handling matters. She seemed to become a stranger.
“What if I don’t promise? Someone must have prepared to make me pay for it.” Gu Yan opened the small notebook and estimated the total amount of arrears. Manla was rooted to the spot by surprise, thinking about the meaning of Gu Yan’s words.
