Chapter 48 - There was always a way out

Manla was cleaning up Gu Yan’s office. It seemed that Gu Yan was extremely tired recently because various documents and design drawings were scattered all over the table, which was hard for Manla to clean up.

Manla shook her head helplessly and began to clean up the room for Gu Yan.

At this moment, Manla heard the sound of high-heeled shoes. She turned around and found that it was Gu Yan who was back in just half an hour. “Did she handle it so quickly?”

Manla walked up to Gu Yan in excitement and held her hand, “How’s it going? You repelled your enemy so quickly?”

Gu Yan looked terrible, and she couldn’t force a smile.

Manla became glum since Gu Yan’s long silence showed that there was no good news.

“What happened? Is it not easy to deal with?” Manla said in a cold tone and now she just wanted to beat Gu Yan’s enemy.

Gu Yan threw the documents to the table, and sat in the sofa, looking exhausted both mentally and physically.

“Yang Qingning, the person who competed with me for business, is Wen Yunfeng’s girlfriend.” As if talking something she was unwilling to mention, Gu Yan massaged her temples anxiously.

“What?”

This was really dramatic. It seemed that even if Wen Yunfeng signed the divorce agreement, he would not let her go.

Manla and Gu Yan became silent when it comes to this heavy topic. Manla even didn’t know how to help Gu Yan.

“Manla, do you know that I have no hope for my life after being tortured by Wen Yunfeng. But for my grandma, I would give up.”

Gu Yan finally showed her weakness after so many busy days.

Manla took Gu Yan’s hands sadly and made a decision after taking a deep breath.

“Since you have no shelter in this city, you can go to another city. There will always be a place for you!”

“What do you mean?” A little light appeared in Gu Yan’s eyes.

Manla patted Gu Yan on her shoulder and encouraged her, “Wen Yunfeng plays a dirty trick to you, but he can do that only in this city. If you go to a city far away from here, he will be powerless. It is no good staying here and standing up to him.”

Manla analyzed the situation logically.

“You mean that I should leave the city? But...”

“There’s no need to hesitate. After all, now you have nothing. Don’t be afraid.” Manla persuaded Gu Yan.

What Manla said raised Gu Yan’s hope. It seemed that this way was possible.

“If I do well in another city, I can stand up to Wen Yunfeng when I come back!” Gu Yan thought.

“But my grandma and you are all here. I can’t leave you...”

“Hey! Don’t worry. I can take care of your grandma. As for us, we have been apart once. It doesn’t matter, right?”

Manla’s easy-going and optimistic characters infected Gu Yan.

“Manla, I don’t know what to say. I really appreciate you for what you did.” Holding Manla’s hands, Gu Yan was a bit incoherent.

“Well, don’t be mushy. As long as you live a good life, it was all worth it.” Pretending to be impatient by waving her hand, Manla was very happy for Gu Yan.

The atmosphere in the office was warm and cozy.

After this conversation, Gu Yan immediately bought a ticket. In the afternoon, she packed up her belongings and went to the neighboring city. She did not say goodbye to her grandma in order not to make her worried.

With the help of Manla, Gu Yan found a well-located house to be the studio.

The money earned from previous decoration projects allowed her to run the studio for a period of time. However, if she didn’t make growth during this period, she had to leave despondently.

Perhaps just because of this pressure, Gu Yan clearly knew that there was no way out. She was busy and worked until three or four o’clock every night. She was so tired that she usually drunk a lot of coffee. She worked hard and was prepared to stand up to Wen Yunfeng firmly.

“Mr. Mo, Miss Gu is really tough. I heard that she went to the neighboring city and ran a studio with the help of her girlfriend.” Wu Gang stood by and nodded approvingly.

Mo Yichen lifted his eyebrows, “What? This woman is so bold. Why didn’t I see it before?”

“Contact the design department to see what big projects we got recently.” Mo Yichen said in a magnetic voice.

“For what?”

Wu Gang was a little confused.

“The new studio could not make a deal without a good partner. Talk to the project leader to help her.” Mo Yichen explained.

At this time, Wu Gang understood, “Boss wants to give projects of his own company to Miss Gu. He is too generous. Isn’t it like giving her money from his own profits?”

“What are you waiting for?” Seeing that Wu Gang had not moved yet, Mo Yichen reminded him once again.

“Yeah. OK. OK. I’ll go.” Wu Gang hastily left.

In the neighboring city...

“Hello, excuse me, is Gu Yan here?” A woman who had a short hair and wore sunglasses asked. Her 10 cm high heels showed that she was full of strength and power.

Hearing the sound, Gu Yan who was concentrating on her design quickly stood up.

Gu Yan assumed all responsibilities of her studio, so she was too busy to dress up. Now, with the messy hair and a pair of thick glasses, Gu Yan didn’t look like a designer.

“Hello, I am Gu Yan. And you are?”

The woman looked at Gu Yan from head to toe, took off her sunglasses, and gave Gu Yan her business card with her slender fingers. Then she introduced herself, “Hello, I am Qi Fei, the president of Xingchen Real Estate.”

Hearing this name, Gu Yan was stunned and thought, “Am I dreaming?”

Qi Fei was a well-known female entrepreneur. Few people had ever seen her, let alone had any contact with her.

“However, the woman stood in front of me at this time.” Gu Yan thought.

“Hey! Hello, I am Gu Yan. This is my business card.” Realizing that she had been stunned for a long time, Gu Yan quickly smoothed her hair and gave her business card to Qi Fei.

“Please come here and drink some water.” Gu Yan greeted Qi Fei to sit down and hurriedly received her.

“Don’t bother. I just say a few words, and you can sit down.”

Qi Fei looked around the studio. Although it was small, the layout was very chic that one couldn’t help appreciating it. It could be seen that the decoration here was well designed and Gu Yan devoted much time and energy on it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Yan put a glass of water in front of Qi Fei, and looked at her again, “It’s her. It’s not a dream.”
