Chapter 533 There was a bond between a mother and her son
Gu Yan devoted herself to work. She didn’t know how Li Yunhong and Chen Qian secretly spoke ill of her, nor did she know that she had been on the front page of the entertainment news. She was delighted at smooth work and was anxious about tough work.
After finishing the accumulated work, Gu Yan finally took a break. She stretched, stood up and walked around. Then she stood at the window and stared into the distance to relieve the visual fatigue. At this point, she saw a large screen not far away, on which a maternal-neonatal advertisement endorsed by a celebrity was being played.
Gu Yan just loosened up after having been strained for the contest, but she got upset again. She was absented during the period of Mo Xiangyan’s babbling and toddling and his growing up. She didn’t even make him a cup of milk with milk powder and change his diapers...
And now, there were seldom opportunities for them to meet. And when they met, he called her Aunt Yan. While thinking about this, Gu Yan’s eyes reddened and was full of tears, but she bravely held back her tears.
As Li Yunhong looked down on her, she determined to work harder to stay with Mo Yichen so that everyone could see more than Mo Yichen’s achievements.
With thinking this, Gu Yan cleared her mind and asked the employees to bring in the list of recent intentional cooperation projects. She had a look at them which were indeed uneven. Then she picked out a few valuable ones, and the rest were piled up aside. Those eliminated projects were three times more than these selected projects.
Gu Yan looked at the two piles of documents stacked in front of her and laughed. If Mo Yichen saw this, he would definitely laugh at her as a poor trader.
Then Gu Yan called in someone and explained the details of these matters carefully. She asked the employee to refuse by phone and specifically emphasized that the attitude of the employee must be sincere, and the tone must be gentle. Although their intentions to cooperate were refused this time, it couldn’t be guaranteed that there was no chance for cooperation in the future. So, it was not good to leave a bad impression to them.
The employee who was called in understood this truth. After Gu Yan finished her words, she nodded and left the office. Then she began to call one by one. Although she could not understand why Gu Yan did so, she had to do as the boss ordered, and she refused those companies in a very gentle tone.
The attitudes of the companies that received the call were very different. Some immediately rebuked that Gu Yan couldn’t see the difference between the good and the bad, and some did not respond and just re-contacted other companies, while others just smiled with an unfathomable expression. It was, of course, a means of mutual sounding out...
After listening to the employee’s feedback, Gu Yan didn’t think deeply. Offending people was a commonplace in the business, but if some people felt this was an offence, they were not the ones Gu Yan wanted to cooperate with because of their narrow minds.
Gu Yan looked at the watch and found that the time of getting off work had passed.
“Thank you for working hard, and you can get off work now. I’m sorry for delaying your get-off-work time.” Gu Yan apologized to the employee with a smile and urged her to get off work quickly.
How would the employee blame Gu Yan when she saw Gu Yan spoke in such a soft way? She always liked the boss who was gentle, broad-minded but wasn’t flabby. At ordinary times, the studio got off work on time and rarely worked overtime. And she liked the atmosphere of the studio very much. Even if there was a delay in getting off work today, she would not complain.
Besides, her boss especially apologized to her! Which boss would apologize to her employees for working overtime? She was delighted as if she was already in the world’s top design company.
Hence, she stepped briskly out of the office.
Gu Yan was very puzzled why the employee walked so fast. Whether the employee had something to do after getting off work? Didn’t she delay the employee’s affairs? She planned to give overtime pay to the employee.
When Mo Yichen arrived at the studio, Gu Yan went downstairs. After they got in the car, Mo Yichen noticed Gu Yan was sad and worried her. Was she sick?
“What’s wrong? Are you out of sorts?” He didn’t hurry in driving but just leaned sideways to help Gu Yan fasten her seat belt. Gu Yan, who was staring out of the window, turned her face and said, “I missed Xiangyan, and I haven’t called him for several days. I want to call him, but your mother... Give him a call, I want to hear his voice.”
While Gu Yan was talking, her eyes reddened involuntarily. Mo Xiangyan always was her weakness and the softest part in her heart, but she had no chance to express her love to him.
Mo Yichen felt uncomfortable seeing her like this. He took her into his arms and gently stroke Gu Yan’s thin back. “Don’t worry. I will persuade my mother quickly. The time of your separation will end soon.”
After hearing Mo Yichen’s promise, Gu Yan finally couldn’t help sobbing in a low voice. Mo Yichen’s promise was a reassuring medicine that made her erratic heart slowly return to peace.
When Gu Yan stopped sobbing, Mo Yichen let go of her and took out his mobile phone to dial the home phone, and the person who answered the call happened to be Mo Xiangyan.
“Xiangyan, it’s Dad and Aunt Yan.” Mo Yichen was the first to speak.
“Who is it?” Li Yunhong’s voice appeared. Mo Xiangyan, a child daring to do great mischief, knew how to conceal at a young age. He only said it was Dad and that he wanted to whisper to Dad. Then Li Yunhong left.
“Dad and Aunt Yan, I miss you so much. When can you come to see me?” Mo Yichen just comforted Gu Yan, who didn’t feel wronged now, but the little boy felt wronged. Gu Yan and Mo Yichen could imagine his appearance.
“Soon! Aunt Yan is very busy with a competition recently. Doesn’t Xiangyan always get a first in the kindergarten? Aunt Yan also wants to earn a champion, so I have to prepare well, right? When Aunt Yan finishes the competition, I’ll come right away to see you. And you have to be obedient, okay?” Gu Yan felt distressed that he had to be alone at a young age, so she comforted him with gentle words.
Mo Xiangyan thought that before he participated in a competition, he always had to prepare well for a long time. And If he won the championship, Dad, Mom and Grandma would be very happy. So, if Mom won the champion, she would be very happy. After thinking, he could understand why Mom had to see him a little late.
There was really a bond between the mother and her son. They were constantly missing each other.
Then Mo Xiangyan didn’t feel wronged anymore and just encouraged Gu Yan to perform well, which made Gu Yan laugh. Mo Yichen was neglected by them, so he was jealous for his son and his wife. He interrupted them every now and then, looking for a sense of existence.
Mo Yichen sighed with relief after seeing Gu Yan’s mood was getting better.
