Summer Kiss

Chapter 131 She Regrets
...

When Gu Xinghe returned to the design department, everyone was looking at her with strange eyes.

Instead of immediately returning to her workstation, she stood there and carefully observed them.

She spoke her mind.

"How could you help Jiang Yuning deceive the police? It was clearly Mr. Fu who slapped me, but you said you didn't see it."

"Are you all blind? Fufu, why don't you stand up for me? I always share my snacks with you, you really disappoint me."

The girl who was called Fufu by Gu Xinghe lowered her head. She had joined the design department two months after Gu Xinghe.

Their relationship was alright, but even so, she was still a little wary of people, knowing that some things shouldn't be said carelessly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Gu Xinghe rushed straight up to her, ready to tear her apart.

"Fufu, are you feeling guilty? Why don't you dare to speak? Why don't you dare to look me in the eye?"

With nowhere to vent her emotions, Gu Xinghe could only pick on the weak.

At that moment, the assistant to the design director appeared at the office door.

"Designer Gu, Designer Jiang, Designer Meng, the director would like to see you in his office."

Gu Xinghe suddenly realized that her actions were somewhat rude, and she gradually calmed down.

She kept a certain distance from Jiang Yuning and the others, and went into the director's office.

The design director noticed an unusually large number of problems this month. Pointing to the spacious sofa, he said, "Everyone, please sit down."

He picked up a document from the table and handed it to them.

"Xiao Gu, Yuecheng Company has changed its requirements at the last minute and wants Xiao Jiang and Xiao Meng to participate in this design."

Gu Xinghe never expected to encounter such a thing. She looked up in disbelief, "Director, the contract has already been signed. Are they trying to back out at the last minute?"

"I disagree. You were the one who put me in charge of this client in the first place. The client changed their mind, are you planning to change your mind too?"

At this moment, a tense atmosphere permeated the office.

Director Wang patiently explained, "Xiao Gu, this is a specific request from the client, there's nothing I can do about it."

Gu Xinghe glanced at everyone present, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "I've seen through you, Jiang Yuning. It must have been you who did this, right? You just can't stand to see me doing well, can you?"

"In the past two months, a lot has happened in our design department, and it's all related to you. Do you want to get rid of us all and turn the design department into your own?"

Jiang Yuning raised her dark eyes, making no attempt to hide the sarcasm in them.

“Gu Xinghe, I didn’t have such thoughts. Yuecheng Company was introduced to me by my boyfriend. I originally planned to cooperate with Shuyu, but who would have thought that you would interfere in the middle of it.”

Who was Mr. Fu's client who introduced Jiang Yuning to?

Gu Xinghe hadn't expected this.

She was so jealous of Jiang Yuning; she seemed to get all the good things.

She felt it was so unfair!

Gu Xinghe looked dejected. "Director, is this client just out of my reach?"

Director Wang of the design department nodded, and he gestured to Jiang Yuning and Meng Shuyu to leave first.

Upon receiving the instructions, Jiang Yuning immediately pulled Meng Shuyu away from the office.

At this moment, only Director Wang and Gu Xinghe remained in the office.

Director Wang stood up and poured Gu Xinghe a cup of hot water. He said earnestly, "Gu, you've been with the company for more than half a year now."

Gu Xinghe nodded. She had always had good grades at school, and when Huangtian Group came to her school to recruit, she immediately took a liking to the company.

At first, she got along well with her colleagues, but later, things gradually didn't go as planned. Director Wang gestured for Gu Xinghe to drink some hot water to calm herself down.

He continued, "Xiao Gu, don't be jealous of Jiang Yuning. She worked much harder than you when she first joined our company. Don't be fooled by her good design talent; after six months, she only received one client's order. At that time, she didn't complain at all, but instead worked even harder."

"Do you know why she has such a steady stream of clients now? It's because she treats every client, big or small, with care."

"Her clients thought she was meticulous and conscientious, so they introduced her to other clients, and gradually she accumulated resources."

“You can’t just look at the surface of things; you also have to see what a person has sacrificed behind the scenes. I hope you go back and think about it carefully today.”

Gu Xinghe felt somewhat guilty after what Director Wang said, and she left the director's office.

She stood at the entrance of the design department, not in a hurry to go in. She saw Jiang Yuning peel an orange and hand it to Meng Shuyu's mouth.

Thinking back, Jiang Yuning had done these things to her before, but now, everything has changed.

It was her jealousy that ruined everything.

She walked into the design department with her head down.

The design department, which had been somewhat active, fell completely silent.

Meng Shuyu quickly stuffed the orange she hadn't finished eating into her mouth and focused on her work.

Gu Xinghe returned to her seat, took out her phone, and opened her chat with Jiang Yuning.

She thought about it for a long time before making up her mind. She edited a long text and sent it to Jiang Yuning.

Jiang Yuning was looking through client information when she heard her phone ring. She thought it was a message from Fu Xicheng.

She picked up her phone, opened WeChat, and found that Gu Xinghe had sent her a long message.

She read the passage carefully and fell into deep thought.

Thinking back on what Gu Xinghe did to her, should she forgive her?

She was extremely hesitant. She took a screenshot of the chat history and sent it to Fu Xicheng.

With Fu Xicheng around, she felt that everything was a minor problem.

Soon, Fu Xicheng sent her a few lines of text, telling her to follow her heart and forgive if she wanted to, or not to forgive if she didn't want to.

After thinking it over for a while, Jiang Yuning replied to Gu Xinghe with a few words.

Gu Xinghe heard her phone ring and quickly opened it.

Upon seeing only four words, she covered her mouth, and tears streamed down her face.

She did those things to Jiang Yuning, and Jiang Yuning actually...

With Gu Xinghe's matter behind her, Jiang Yuning threw herself wholeheartedly into the design drafts.

She felt as if she had suddenly been inspired, and she quickly began to draw.

Soon, the drawing continued until it was time to leave work.

Jiang Yuning was completely unaware that it was time to leave work; she was still diligently drawing.

Meng Shuyu had already packed her things. She walked up to Jiang Yuning and knocked on her table.

"Yu Ning, aren't you going to leave work yet?"

Jiang Yuning snapped out of her reverie at the computer and rubbed her eyes. "Time flies so fast? It's already time to get off work."

Meng Shuyu's expression was exaggerated, "No way, didn't you see the office is almost empty?"
