Page 429 of Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Jian Ran’s palms were sweaty. Seizing the moment when nobody was paying attention to her, she hurriedly made a call to Gu Mochen.

"Gu Mochen, what on earth do you mean by this?"

As soon as the call connected, Jian Ran couldn’t help but blurt out her question.

Gu Mochen: "..."

Gu Mochen’s tall frame stood at the end of the corridor, watching the woman at the corner covering her phone and covertly making a call to him. His eyes slightly narrowed, he asked with a nonchalant tone.

"Mrs. Gu, why are you so furious this early in the morning?"

Jian Ran: "..."

He wouldn’t know why she was so angry?

Jian Ran suppressed the disdain in her heart and, worried about attracting the attention of others, asked in a low voice.

"Gu Mochen, you know that... I’m simply not capable of handling this... By giving me full responsibility now, you’re basically handing over the cooperation deal to someone else."

"Business is not child’s play... This is a huge collaboration worth several billion."

Jian Ran spoke earnestly. The sight of her anxiousness caught Gu Mochen’s eye, and he found it extremely charming.

Usually, he often saw Jian Ran’s formulaic smiles.

Seeing Jian Ran this way now brought a peculiar sense of pleasure to his heart.

So adorable...

"Jian Ran, I am willing to treat the matters of the business world as a game and play along with you... So, no need for any pressure, understand?"

Upon hearing the man’s irresistibly magnetic voice, something stirred in Jian Ran’s heart.

"Gu Mochen, why are you being so childish!"

When a woman calls a man childish, it truly means she’s enraged.

Yet, such petulant words, when they fall on a man’s ears, are like an aphrodisiac.

Men are only childish with women they like and care about.

"Hmm, I just want to see how powerful and what potential the woman I desire to sleep with really has," he said.

Jian Ran: "..."

Listening to the man’s playful and roguish words, Jian Ran’s feelings were a tangled mess.

Unable to take it anymore, she hung up the phone.

Damn it.

Sleep with your sister...

Can Gu Mochen think of anything normal?

Jian Ran took a deep breath... only then could she suppress the restlessness in her heart.

As she was about to enter the meeting room holding her phone, she received a text message from Gu Mochen.

Jian Ran, if... you tell the other party your pen name is JR, then... the chances of winning will increase from ten percent to one hundred percent.

Jian Ran: "..."

Why?

Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and as if Gu Mochen had noticed her confusion, the second text message quickly followed.

JR’s worth in Europe now values 10 billion!

Jian Ran: "..."

So, Gu Mochen did this on purpose, huh?

Jian Ran’s lips curled into a sardonic smile.

This sly man, even though he wasn’t present, had meticulously arranged everything for her.

Jian Ran’s hand clenched once more as she took a deep breath. After silencing her phone, she slipped it into her pocket and headed towards the meeting room.

...

The attendees of the meeting included internal staff from Bon and people from Carlo, with the majority being Italians, making the few ethnic Chinese from the Gu Family a minority.

Moreover, most of them did not speak Italian.

Jian Ran was no exception.
