"Mm."

Gu Mochen looked at Jian Ran’s bright, intelligent eyes and raised his hand to touch her hair, gently ruffling it.

"Why would Mrs. Gu think so?"

"There’s only talk of how hideous the antagonistic forces are, with no detailed introduction of this clerk, including their department or career progression... Hmm, someone definitely filtered it one-sidedly, and aside from you... I can think of no one else."

Jian Ran was practical about the matter, while Gu Mochen smiled satisfactorily.

Jian Ran was indeed an intelligent woman.

"Yes."

Dong Qin had hurt his woman with her words, how could he let her get away with it?

To be honest, not only had Jian Ran prepared the media, but Gu Mochen had also planted media in the meeting room to record everything in real time and capture Dong Qin’s ugly demeanor.

Hearing the man’s assured response, Jian Ran smiled contentedly.

"Hmm... Mr. Gu has worked hard."

"No trouble at all... Yesterday, Mrs. Gu had the harder job... Mrs. Gu’s ability to ’play possum’ was even more formidable and spectacular than I imagined."

She had managed to stage an impressive ’playing possum’ under circumstances where all evidence was nearly nonexistent, breaking down Lan Xing’s psychological defenses, leaving Lan Xing completely defeated.

Jian Ran: "..."

Listening to Gu Mochen’s erroneous praises was indeed very pleasing to the eyes.

Jian Ran narrowed her eyes... and suddenly realized that when the right person appeared.

Their work and their life were in perfect harmony.

...

After reaching the garage, Jian Ran and Gu Mochen went their separate ways as if they had a clandestine love, with Jian Ran heading straight to the design department and Gu Mochen to the president’s office.

Jian Ran, worried about being late on the first day after her promotion and becoming the subject of gossip, hurried off without noticing Gu Mochen’s meaningful and indulgent dark gaze following her.

...

When Jian Ran entered the design department, the other staff members immediately stood up and greeted her respectfully, to which Jian Ran responded with a faint smile.

Surprised to discover that overnight, the design department had dismantled Lan Xing’s old office and prepared a new one for her in a sunny spot, designed in a simple and elegant style, somewhat similar to Linhai Villa.

Jian Ran felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity...

The layout of the entire office seemed familiar.

After contemplating for a moment, Jian Ran had an epiphany.

It appeared to be one of her design drafts from her university days.

Her heart filled with joy, an immense happiness welled up inside her, and Jian Ran couldn’t help but cover her lips with her little hand, her beautiful eyes incredulously taking in everything before her.

In all the world, probably only Gu Mochen... could have transformed such a vast design department, nearly a thousand square meters, in just one day.

No wonder... the man insisted on picking up Tang Bao and herself for an outing yesterday.

So that was it... he had deliberately kept her away.

Such a tsundere man.

Jian Ran felt nothing but disdain for Gu Mochen, yet she was moved by everything he had done.

Jian Ran sniffled, picked up her phone to call Gu Mochen, but unexpectedly received a call from him first.

"Mrs. Gu, do you like it?"

The man who knew her so well.

Understanding every step she would take, Jian Ran’s heart was filled with sweetness, her gaze shifting to the other employees outside the design department sneaking peeks at her, and she nodded.
