"Yanran, I …" Gu Wan seemed to have misunderstood Gu Yanran's meaning, so she felt guilty and wanted to explain something.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Gu Wan's bashful look, Gu Yanran didn't know what to say.
"Just now … I didn't mean to say those words …" Gu Wan stuttered. She didn't know how to express herself so that Gu Yanran could understand her meaning and ensure that she wouldn't be hurt.
"What did you mean? You're thinking too much. I didn't feel anything wrong with you just now. " Gu Yanran roughly understood Gu Wan's meaning from her words, but she didn't expect that Gu Wan would understand her words so well.
But thinking about it, after all, she used to be such a sensitive and hypocritical person. If it was someone else, if they didn't ridicule her, they would definitely dislike her and stay away from such a bad woman. Only Gu Wan would be so stupid to choose to take care of her unreservedly. She even thought about her in every way and was afraid that she would be hurt.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanran always felt that her heart was suppressed tightly, and she wanted to cry.
She couldn't repay what she owed Gu Wan in this life.
"That's good." After getting Gu Yanran's reply, Gu Wan's tone and expression were obviously a lot more relaxed.
"Actually, I'm not who I used to be. Now, it's enough for me as long as I can live well. So, you don't have to care so much about my feelings. Now, I don't care about anything. " Gu Yanran solemnly said to Gu Wan. She seemed to have deliberated every word for a long time.
"Yanran …" Gu Wan called out with distress.
"Everything will be fine." Finally, after weighing for a long time, Gu Wan just said this sentence.
"I hope so." Gu Yanran replied faintly.
At this moment, her gaze drifted out of the window along with her thoughts.
Outside the window, under the attack of the cold wind, the branches and leaves wantonly swayed, but the branches and tendrils did not move at all, accepting the baptism of the cold wind.
Right now, Gu Yanran's state of mind was as peaceful and tranquil as the branches.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the monthly end of the month summary.
Under the excited and expectant gazes of the crowd, Gong Mohan walked up to the podium with steady and vigorous steps. After a short and polite speech, he began to announce the list of outstanding employees that everyone was looking forward to.
As usual, most of the outstanding employees this time were within everyone's expectations. Many of them were permanent members of the outstanding employees.
Other than that, there were also some employees who were usually more active and popular in the company.
However, there was an exception, and that was Jiang Xueyi from the finance department.
When Gong Mohan announced that the outstanding employee of the Finance Department was Jiang Xueyi, the employees in the audience felt an unprecedented surprise.
Speaking of Jiang Xueyi, many of the employees in the audience were unfamiliar with her.
Jiang Xueyi's performance in the company had always been mediocre. She did not have any dazzling experience, nor did she do any outstanding business. She usually did not have much of a presence in the company where talents gathered.
The people in other departments might just be surprised, but the employees in the finance department were in disbelief.
After all, Jiang Xueyi's tepid performance had always been obvious to everyone. The only outstanding performance was perhaps the few projects that were inexplicably negotiated this month.
Of course, the success of these projects was only due to Jiang Xueyi's protection, and it was all due to her good luck.
Therefore, to everyone's surprise, Jiang Xueyi was actually selected as an outstanding employee just like that.
Then, what made everyone even more surprised was that after Gong Mohan announced the outstanding employee, he immediately announced that Jiang Xueyi, as the winner of the outstanding employee this time, would be directly promoted to the secretary's office to replace Fang Ru's position.
"…"
The audience was completely silent for a few seconds. Then, after Gong Mohan stepped off the stage, the audience went into an uproar.
For a moment, the originally quiet crowd became noisy in the blink of an eye. The reaction of the finance department was even more exaggerated.
Suddenly, the words and gazes of disbelief, jealousy, ridicule, envy, unwillingness, and curiosity fell on Jiang Xueyi, who was sitting in the corner, along with people's discussions and pointers.
Jiang Xueyi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She lowered her head very nervously, and then her mind appeared not long ago when Gong Mohan asked her to go to the office.
"You can think about whether you want to take on this role or not. After all, in the process, you will definitely cause trouble and controversy. So, you have to think about whether you are really prepared to bear all of this." Gong Mohan sat upright, but his voice was a little more patient than usual.
"…" Jiang Xueyi was silent. For a while, she didn't know if she was ready to bear all of this.
"You can go back on your word now. We won't blame you." Seeing Jiang Xueyi's hesitation, Gong Mohan said to her frankly.
Originally, all of this was not within the scope of Jiang Xueyi's responsibility, and such a big thing must have risks. Therefore, even if Jiang Xueyi went back on her word now, Gong Mohan wouldn't blame her.
"I won't go back on my word. Although I know that this road may not be easy, I still want to give it a try. "Finally, thinking of what Yuan Bingqing had done for Fang Ru, Jiang Xueyi no longer hesitated.
"Well, if there is any situation, tell me. We will help you." Gong Mohan said with some relief, then looked at Xi Mu, who had been sitting opposite and hadn't spoken.
During this time, the frequency of Xi Mu coming to the company had inexplicably increased, and each time he would choose the time when Jiang Xueyi was around. He said that he needed to understand all the developments so that he could better investigate the truth, but how could Gong Mohan not know his careful thoughts?
"En en, you can tell me anything." Xi Mu patted Jiang Xueyi's shoulder familiarly, and then said to her gently.
"Okay, I will." In the end, Jiang Xueyi just replied faintly, and there was an unconcealable tremor in her voice.
Then, Jiang Xueyi heard Gong Mohan and Xi Mu couldn't help laughing after seeing her timid look. This made her, who was already thin-skinned, blush even more.
Jiang Xueyi thought that she had mentally prepared herself, and she had trained her heart to be extremely strong.
However, when everything in her words became reality, and they attached themselves to Jiang Xueyi, Jiang Xueyi found that she was not as brave as she thought.
When all of this came, Jiang Xueyi had to admit that she couldn't help but have some regrets in her heart.
Ever since she was young, she had never lived under the spotlight, and she didn't like being watched and discussed by so many people, not to mention that it wasn't some kind and gentle words.
Gradually, seeing that Jiang Xueyi didn't say anything, everyone just felt bored and chose to leave one after another.
"Look at her usually obscure appearance. Maybe she's just keeping a low profile. After all, look at her performance this month. It's really outstanding."
"Well, it makes sense if you think about it this way. After all, Director Gong has already promoted her like this, so she must have the ability. "
"That's right. I think some people just can't stand to see others do a little better. They only know how to sour others all day long."
"That's right. If you have the time to talk nonsense, why don't you talk about a few more clients?"
"Hahaha …"
As the crowd gradually dispersed, a conversation faintly entered Jiang Xueyi's ears.
Inexplicably, Jiang Xueyi's originally well-suppressed emotions were about to be unable to suppress them in this conversation.
At this moment, the emotions in Jiang Xueyi's heart were very complicated. Even she didn't know how to describe it.
Was it inferiority complex? It should be! Ever since he was young, he had never been a person with outstanding results. Even the only job that seemed to be outstanding was thanks to Fang Ru's help. So, when had there ever been such a time when people paid attention to him?
Was it a guilty conscience? It should be! Wasn't the reason why those people's impression of him changed just now because of Gong Mohan's arrangement in advance? If he had relied on his own ability, it would have been impossible for him to accomplish so much in a month.
Was it gratitude? It should be! There was probably no one in the world who didn't want to hear praise from others. Even though the source of this praise had nothing to do with him, he was still the protagonist. Therefore, even if it was indirect, Jiang Xueyi still obtained a trace of satisfaction from those people's conversation.
Unknowingly, when Jiang Xueyi regained her senses and slowly got up to leave the conference room, she realized that there were only two people in the large conference room: herself and the cleaning auntie.
"Girl, are you feeling unwell? Why are you still here so late? "Because Jiang Xueyi was sitting in the corner, the cleaning auntie didn't notice her existence before. At this time, her sudden rise made the cleaning auntie a little scared, but she still greeted her kindly.
"No, I'm leaving right away." Jiang Xueyi smiled slightly and replied obediently.
"En, remember to take your things."
"Okay."
"Goodbye, auntie."
After politely saying goodbye to the auntie, Jiang Xueyi left the conference room in a daze.
But as soon as she walked out of the conference room, a figure suddenly appeared and startled Jiang Xueyi.
After seeing Xi Mu's smirk, Jiang Xueyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you doing! You scared me! "
"Haha … This is the effect I want." Xi Mu replied proudly.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Xueyi asked curiously.
"Waiting for you. What were you doing in there just now? I waited for you for so long before coming out. You didn't even reply to my message. "Xi Mu's words had a hint of blame.
"I was thinking about something just now." Jiang Xueyi replied with some embarrassment, then she thought of Xi Mu's answer just now, so she asked curiously, "What are you looking for me for?"
