“How am I going against the youngsters? Don’t you know how unreliable Gu Manman is? Have you forgotten how she treated you this morning?”

Hearing that Gu Yan not only did not support him, but also disliked him for being petty, Jiang Jingcheng was unhappy. What was wrong with Gu Yan? She was simply betraying him! He was clearly in the same boat as her.

“All right, all right! Stop talking about these! Go to do what you should do. Just don’t sneak around and peek at other people’s desks!”

Seeing Jiang Jingcheng like this, Gu Yan knew that he had a lot of reasons to defend himself. She had come out to relax and did not want to hear his nonsense.

As Gu Yan spoke, she gestured for Jiang Jingcheng to leave quickly. He felt wronged that Gu Yan did not want to listen to his explanation. However, she did not even raise her head to look at him. After speaking, she lowered her head and continued to work.

Although Jiang Jingcheng still had so much that he wanted to say, Gu Yan didn’t want to hear it, and he couldn’t force her to. Besides, he was in the wrong this time, and he didn’t have the face to continue annoying her. Therefore, he turned around and left her office.

Right now Gu Yan felt helpless. She had been working hard for so long, and now that she could finally find some time to rest, she had to deal with the trouble caused by Jiang Jingcheng. She really felt that as the boss, she was making trouble for herself and was mentally and physically exhausted every day.

“I wish I can concentrate on my own designs and not have to be bothered by anything else.” Gu Yan sighed to herself. However, she knew that this was impossible, and she was merely thinking about it.

Gu Manman was still having a feast happily in the restaurant. She didn’t know what had happened in the office at all. She was confident in her talent, so she hadn’t started designing in detail and just had some initial ideas. Of course, she didn’t know whether these ideas matched the requirements of their clients.

If Jiang Jingcheng knew that Gu Manman actually hadn’t done anything at all, he would probably be furious. He had tried his best to spy on her progress, and he would never think that she hadn’t done any actual work yet.

Even if he knew the truth, he might not believe it. Gu Manman had no experience in designing at all. She had accepted this design task on impulse. If any normal person were to take charge of such a design project, they would have started working on it long ago, and the work would be in progress.

Jiang Jingcheng refused to believe that the work had not even been started no matter what.

However, Gu Manman indeed did not do any practical work. Not only did she not do anything, but she was also having a feast in the restaurant at ease by now. Yet she still had a sense of crisis and knew that she had to start her work. If she did not start it today, she would not have time to finish it.

Gu Manman wiped her mouth solemnly. She was going back to work in the studio and was about to start her grand design. She made up her mind that she must make an excellent design to make Jiang Jingcheng and Gu Yan both appreciate it and know that she was not that kind of idiot who knew nothing in their eyes.

After Gu Manman had eaten her fill, she hummed a tune and returned to her office. Now she was about to start her design.

She had a perfect plan and felt that her design ideas were great. When she planned it out, she didn’t feel that her plan would fail. But now, when it was time to bring it to actual work, she felt stuck.

Her ideas were not in line with the theme that their clients wanted. She looked at the theme, but she could not think of anything that could be matched with it.

“What should I do now? What should I do?”

Gu Manman’s mind was in a mess. She did not concentrate on thinking about her current urgent design. Instead, she was thinking that if she could not make it work, it would be as what Jiang Jingcheng wished for. She would leave a stupid impression in his heart, and there was no way for her to get rid of it.

Not only would she lose face in front of Jiang Jingcheng, but she would also lose face in front of Gu Yan. Gu Manman thought of how she had provoked Gu Yan and wanted to dig a hole for herself to hide in. Why did she have to provoke her for no reason? Now, Gu Yan had set such a big trap for her. She had jumped into it stupidly and could not get out of it for the moment.

Gu Manman felt that she was really going crazy. Why had she promised her so loudly at that time? Gu Manman regretted it so much right now.

However, she would never admit defeat so easily. Although she knew that what she had done before was not perfectly correct, she could not afford to lose face in this design. If she were to lose to Gu Yan again this time, she and Jiang Jingcheng would really have no chance of getting together.

Gu Manman knew that if she were a man, she would definitely not like a girl like herself. She knew what kind of impression she had left on Jiang Jingcheng, spoiled, cruel, and unreasonable. Now, she could add one more character to it, incompetent, yet still like to show off.

Gu Manman really regretted it. Her current actions made Gu Yan appear even better. Gu Yan was gentle, sensible, and intelligent. She was a gentle woman in life, but she was also very capable at work.

Gu Manman listed a lot of her own shortcomings in her heart. For every one of her shortcomings she thought of, Gu Manman would point out the corresponding advantage of Gu Yan in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more Gu Manman felt that she was stupid. It was her stupid behavior that made Gu Yan appear so wonderful.

However, since things had already come to this point, what else could she do? Even if she braced herself, she had to fight. If she were to lose this battle to Gu Yan, she would have completely failed in the battle against Gu Yan for Jiang Jiangcheng.

Gu Manman didn’t want that to happen.

“Why don’t I hire someone to finish the design for me?” A bad idea came to Gu Manman’s mind, but she quickly suppressed it. How could she have such an idea? Gu Manman knew that if she really did it, apart from Gu Yan and Jiang Jingcheng, she would look down on herself.

Gu Manman liked designing from the bottom of her heart, so she would never do something that challenged the bottom line of a designer.

“I can’t do this, and I can’t do that. What should I do?” Gu Manman really wanted to cry.
