501: The Stuck Liu Ji Fan

The Stuck Liu Ji Fan

The new interns who supposedly had prepared their first project with zeal and excitement under the leadership of Wu Mei had pale faces when they heard He Jian's cold and merciless words. 

They couldn't help but look at Wu Mei with hope.

They didn't know what they should say or do at such a time. 

They had given their best and did everything according to whatever Wu Mei told them. What went wrong was out of their understanding!

Even Wu Mei didn't know what went wrong. 

And hence she was shocked but immediately maintained a calm expression on her face. She looked at He Jian's face, swallowed, and then said 

"Boss, I am sorry. I should have been careful with the new interns. But I thought that it would be good to let them show their creativity."

All the interns looked at Wu Mei with shocked faces.

She had actually controlled every aspect of this project and now she was denying it when He Jian didn't like designs. 

The one who had just presented the designs seemed to be wanted to say something. However, Wu Mei looked at him with sharp eyes indicating him to stay silent. 

In the end, the intern couldn't help but think that he was merely an intern while Wu Mei was an employee who had been working in the company for four years already. It was obvious who will be given the preference. 

So he shut his mouth.

Wu Mei's words, however, didn't seem to make any change in He Jian's expression. 

"It is good to let them show their creativity but guiding them in the right direction is your job."

The polite smile on Wu Mei's lips went stiff and she suddenly didn't know what she should say.

It was the intern standing in the center who stepped forward and said 

"Sir, please give us another chance. We will try our best." 

He Jian looked at the boy. At the same time, Mo Roulan was also looking at her classmates. Seeing their hope-filled eyes, she really wished that He Jian would give them a chance. 

At the same time, she couldn't help but try to find the girl who had given her the drink at the party saying that it was fruit juice. 

However, the girl was nowhere in the sight. According to what she knew, she also works in the design department. 

Mo Roulan came out of her trance when He Jian spoke 

"One last chance. Look at the requirements of the client again. Prepare new designs. We don't have much time."

Finishing his words, He Jian stood up and left the conference room followed by He Jian.

As soon as he was outside the conference room, the phone inside his pocket started to ring. He continued walking to his office as he took out his phone. When he saw that it was Fang Zhihan who was calling, He Jian didn't immediately pick up the call. 

He looked at Mo Roulan as he knew that she didn't like Fang Zhihan much. That's why when He Jian was just outside his office, he turned to look at Mo Roulan and said softly

"Go inside the office. I will be back after taking this call."

Mo Roulan nodded her head. She didn't think much as she thought that she could arrange the files for the next meetings in the meantime. 

After she had gone inside the office, He Jian slid the screen to answer the call. 

"Jian, come to our place. All of us are gathering."

Fang Zhihan's voice came from the other side.

However, He Jian refused the enthusiastic offer coldly 

"No"

"Tsk…Jian. We friends are gathering to solve your problem and you refuse to come."

Hearing Fang Zhihan's words, He Jian couldn't help but frown as he said 

"Which problem?"

On the other side of the phone, Fang Zhihan was clearly shocked when he heard such a question. 

"Which problem?"

He asked back incredulously and continued 

"Your and your girl's problem, of course." 

However, his words only made He Jian's blue eyes colder as he asked Fang Zhihan coldly 

"I and Lanlan don't have any problem. We have just started dating each other. Why would we have any problem?"

He Jian's voice was cold but Fang Zhihan was not affected. However, when he registered what He Jian said, the glass that he had picked up to have some water suddenly slipped down from his hands. 

The other three people in the room, Liu Ji Fan, Shen Weisheng, and Shi Fengju looked at him as if he had gone crazy. 

And then Fang Zhihan as if proving them right suddenly started to chortle with laughter. 

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a weird expression, Fang Zhihan somehow put the phone on speaker and asked He Jian amidst his laughter. 

"Jian, you are dating that girl?" 

"Yes."

He Jian's cold answer came from the other side and after that, he continued 

"I will be there at night."

And then the call was hung up. 

Fang Zhihan didn't care about He Jian's cold behavior. He, instead looked at Liu Ji Fan with bright and playful eyes. 

"So Ji Fan, when are you bringing your wife here to have a get-together?" 

Liu Ji Fan looked at Fang Zhihan coldly and didn't say anything. 

At such response, Fang Zhihan's eyes were cold and he said firmly 

"You had promised. You can't step back now."

Shen Weisheng shook his head with a smile on her lips. He picked up the glass of drink and took a sip. Fang Zhihan had told him that there was something off between Liu Ji Fan and his boyfriend. However, instead of solving it, Liu Ji Fan was running away from his boyfriend. And hence, as a good friend he wanted to help Liu Ji Fan. 

However, his way of helping others was quite distressing because it made other wants to kick him away. 

Sure enough, Liu Ji Fan was trapped by Fang Zhihan and he could only answer him with gritted teeth.  0

"I will talk to him."

Fang Zhihan was very satisfied with this response. 

On the other hand, Liu Ji Fan felt helpless. He didn't know how he would talk to Tian Yuan. He had been ignoring him since the attack because he was afraid that Tian Yuan would bring the matter of leaving City H with his mother again. 

However, now he would have to talk with Tian Yuan. 

Liu Ji Fan glared at Fang Zhihan and stabbed the knife in the dish as if he was assuming it to be Fang Zhihan.

Inside He Jian's office, Mo Roulan was going through the files important for the day's meetings and arranging them correctly. 

While managing them, she came across the file of the client for the whom the designs were presented in the meeting a few minutes ago. 

Mo Roulan glanced towards the door and saw that He Jian was still talking. She couldn't help but wonder that if she opened the file and read would she be counted as the employee who was putting her nose in matters that were not her business at all?

In the end, her heart won over her mind and she opened the file.

Inside the file were the requirements mentioned by the client. 

As she skimmed through the pages, Mo Roulan finally understood why He Jian had rejected those designs…something she had not understood before. 

Those designs were pleasing to the eyes but they were not in line with what the client wanted.

Mo Roulan had to close the file abruptly when she heard the sound of the door being opened. 

Quietly she started to do what she was supposed to do as if nothing happened at all. 

"What happened?"

He Jian couldn't help but ask. 

Mo Roulan was surprised at the question and merely looked at him. 

"You looked slightly strange …nervous?"

At his words, she looked at him with wide eyes and simply said 

"You are misunderstanding, Mr. He. I am alright."

He Jian looked at her for a few seconds. He was sure that he was not wrong. She looked clearly nervous. 

"Then why are you holding your file upside down."

He said a moment later. 

Mo Roulan looked at him and then at the file that was true upside down. 

She opened the file to check the name on the front page of the company and project to make sure that it was the right file. 

However…

"I didn't notice."

She replied stiffly as she corrected the way of holding the file. Mo Roulan no longer looked at him. She knew that she had been caught lying and she was sincere enough not to look him in the eye. 

He Jian raised his eyebrows and suddenly walked towards her. 

Mo Roulan couldn't help but take a step back when she felt that he was stepping too close. However, He Jian suddenly held her hand and then asked her. 

"Tell me, does my presence make you nervous? I had read somewhere that girls in love feel nervous in the presence of the man they love."

And Mo Roulan had outrightly wanted to shout a big 'No'!
