Chapter 7 Do You Want to Climb on President Gu's Bed? (2)_1

A week later:

While the female employees of the Gu Family gossiped about Gu Mochen every day, Jian Ran devoted herself wholeheartedly to sketching design drafts, turning in seven pieces consecutively.

Lan Xing, the head of the Design Department, was shocked by Jian Ran's work, finding it somewhat unbelievable that such talent came from a girl who had just stepped out of school.

This level of design skill could be called rare domestically.

Internally, she felt a mixture of emotions.

Although she held a supervisory position, what if this young girl, fresh from her academic cocoon, displaced her?

Hmph, the design drafts of Dongheng International would definitely choose her own in the end.

Therefore, when necessary, she'd have to play some tricks.

…

The intercom rang:

"Hello, this is Jian Ran from the Design Department, may I ask what's the matter?"

Jian Ran's voice was soft, warm as water, and very clean.

"Come to my office, Jian Ran. You have three minutes."

Jian Ran: "..."

Gu Mochen!

It was actually his call.

His voice made her scalp tingle, and before Jian Ran could even respond, the tone on the phone had already switched to a busy signal.

Jian Ran walked into the CEO's office with utmost respect. Gu Mochen was dressed in a black shirt, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand as he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, tasting his drink. His demeanor exuded an indescribable, devilish charm.

"2 minutes and 48 seconds, Jian Ran. You're very punctual."

When Gu Mochen saw Jian Ran arrive, he set his wine glass on the rack and his dark eyes scanned the woman in white office attire before him.

A collarless blazer over a black shirt with silver threads, her slender waist seemingly too delicate to grasp.

Perfectly sensual, just a touch of light makeup — a natural beauty.

Gu Mochen squinted his eyes once again.

"As I should, President Gu. May I know why you've called me here?"

"The design drafts for Dongheng International — take a look."

Jian Ran took the design portfolio from the man's hand, pursed her lips — among the interns, each had submitted one design. The seven full-time staff of the department each contributed one as well, and supervisor Lan Xing had turned in two.

She submitted seven pieces, but it seemed Lan Xing had chosen the worst one.

Even though it was the worst, it was still on par with Lan Xing's designs.

It looked like Lan Xing had done it on purpose, after all, she was the head of the department.

"President Gu, I'm just an intern in the Design Department of the Gu Family. I think you should show these designs to the supervisor."

"But, I have decided to select your design."

Once selected as the design draft, she wouldn't need to wait for the three-month internship to end to become a regular employee. She would be made official immediately.

With triple the salary.

Jian Ran was inwardly overjoyed, trying her best to remain composed.

"Thank you, President Gu."

Gu Mochen's lips curled slightly, his hawkish eyes lightly scanning the woman before him, filled with deep meaning, while taking in Lan Xing's envious gaze from outside the office.

"Later, bring in a cup of coffee."

"I'm sorry, President Gu, but I'm not your secretary, I... "

"The first rule in the Gu Family employee handbook is unconditional compliance."

"Yes."

Although Jian Ran was internally aggrieved, she managed a faint smile on her lips. Leaving the office, her eyes darkened — she had no clue what Gu Mochen was up to.

Instead of going back to her desk, Jian Ran went straight to the pantry. She brewed some coffee with a one-dollar packet and hot water, took it, and walked out, only to unexpectedly encounter Lan Xing standing in front of her.

"Supervisor."

"Jian Ran, since when is it your turn to do things like bringing coffee?"

Listening to the woman's sharp words, Jian Ran pursed her lips. Clearly, this person did not come with good intentions, the obvious anger displayed on her face.

"Are you not only trying to land the Dongheng International design project but also aiming to get into President Gu's bed?"

Jian Ran: "..."
