Chapter 18 Old People
After Ji Wufeng left.
Gu Moyang held the phone for a long time, and the screen stayed on the page of the contact: Jiang Nuannuan.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally pressed the dial button.
Soon a notification tone came from the phone: "The number you dialed is busy..."
I tried several times, but the prompt tone is still there.
Gu Moyang threw the phone aside and snorted, "You're really quick."

Jiang Jibai was in a very bad state today. Even when he was drawing, his eyelids were fighting, and the songs he listened to sounded like lullabies.
Fortunately, her workload has been reduced now. In the past, at her current pace, she would not be able to get home before nine o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Jibai took the cup and went to the bar to make himself a cup of black coffee to refresh himself.
The moment she sat down, Ma Lin glanced in her direction.
"Have you all heard? Something big happened over there yesterday."
Zheng Yuan was still in Zheng Qianqian's office. Zhu Zihan leaned over and asked, "What's going on? Tell me."
Ma Lin: "Yesterday, Ji Zehao, the son of the Ji Group, was beaten up in a bar. I heard that he was beaten very badly."
Zhu Zihan was surprised and asked, "Who in Jinghuai dares to hit Ji Zehao?"
Ma Lin glanced at Jiang Jibai and said, "Gu Moyang hit me."
Jiang Jibai paused holding the cup.
Zhu Zihan also glanced at Jiang Jibai. "Why did you hit him?"
Ma Lin: "He's so angry because of a beautiful woman!" She said sarcastically, "I heard that Gu Moyang was trying to save a woman. That woman is his childhood sweetheart and now works in his company. I heard she's also very beautiful."
Jiang Jibai knew they were talking about Xu Jiaman.
Jiang Jibai was not angry about the rumors. She wished she was not the heroine in his scandal so that she would not have to be associated with him.
Jiang Jibai took a sip of black coffee, and the bitterness spread in her mouth.
She thinks Gu Moyang and Xu Jiaman are a good match now.
She no longer belonged to his world. As for who the heroine in his scandal was, she didn't care, as long as it wasn't her.
Ma Lin glanced at Jiang Ji and rolled his eyes in a mocking manner, "Even worse than someone else."
Zhu Zihan: "No wonder people look down on her. If it were me, I would choose Miss Xu too."
Ma Lin: "Did Gu Moyang come here just to see how pitiful she is?"
Jiang Jibai frowned in disgust, put on her headphones and turned the volume up to the maximum to block out the noise from the outside world that was disturbing her.
Ma Lin and Zhu Zihan were very dissatisfied with Zheng Qianqian's different attitude towards Jiang Jibai. Zheng Qianqian and the others did not dare to offend her, so they had to vent their anger on Jiang Jibai.
They didn't use any other tricks, they just said some sarcastic words behind her back, which was more disgusting than the green-headed flies in the toilet.
Jiang Jibai didn't want to pay attention to them, let alone argue with them. Arguing was a very emotionally draining thing, so she simply put on headphones so that she wouldn't hear anything and wouldn't be upset.
After a while, Zheng Yuan came out of Zheng Qianqian's office with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Ma Lin and Zhu Zihan smiled at each other meaningfully.
Zheng Qianqian came out soon after.
"Sister Qian, let me tell you a piece of gossip." Ma Lin said.
Ma Lin told Zheng Qianqian about Gu Moyang.
"Sister Qian, you're thinking too much. How could Mr. Gu fall for her again? Look, it's been so long since the last incident. Has Gu Moyang come to see her once?"
Zhu Zihan: "That's right, they must be busy trying to appease the newcomers, so how could they have the time to care about her, an old friend who has passed her prime?"
Ma Lin: "Sister Qian, you must have been exhausted recently. How can Jiang Jibai be so comfortable and leave work on time every day? All the extra tasks have been put on you."
Zhu Zihan: "We can't bear to watch this. We feel sorry for you."
Zheng Qianqian glanced at Jiang Jibai who was already lying on the table, and squinted her eyes to look at him.
"Bang!" The sound of a thick stack of project documents hitting the table scared Jiang Jibai.
She opened her eyes with difficulty from the table, and what she saw were Zheng Qianqian's stormy eyes.
Zheng Qianqian rapped her desk with a frown, "You're slacking off and sleeping in the office in broad daylight. Have I been too indulgent with you before? I need to produce these sketches today, and the client wants to see them. I've already sent you the electronic version. Send it to me before the end of the day, or you won't be allowed to leave!"
After saying that, Zheng Qianqian walked away in her high heels, followed by a few sneers from behind.
Jiang Jibai could probably guess that Ma Lin and the others must have said something in front of Zheng Qianqian.
What she was sure of was that her good days were over.
Those were just a few days of good times that she stole by accident, and she knew that they wouldn't last long.
Gradually, they will find that Gu Moyang actually has nothing to do with her anymore.
It was almost time to get off work, and Jiang Jibai rubbed his tired shoulders, neck and sore brows.
Because she didn't get enough rest last night and had overworked her brain during the day, her head felt heavy and painful.
There are only two final drafts left, and today's task is completed.
Just when Jiang Jibai was about to pick up her brush to continue painting, Ma Lin, Zhu Zihan and Zheng Yuan came over and each threw a drawing on her desk.
Ma Lin said proudly, "Xiao Jiang, I'll leave the editing of the picture to you."
Damn it, who understands? Jiang Jibai closed her eyes and exhaled. She wanted to chop someone.
Zhu Zihan pretended: "Sister Qian said that your revised manuscript will definitely be approved and she is assured. We are all colleagues helping each other."
She had endured it long enough and she didn't want to endure it anymore.
Jiang Jibai: "I can help you change it, but the commission for this order must be counted as mine, otherwise please change it yourself."
Ma Lin scoffed, "Why should I give you a commission? We're the original creators, you're just a retoucher."
Jiang Jibai: "Then why should I do it for you for free? You are so shameless."
"You..." Ma Lin gritted his teeth, "It was Sister Qian who said that. If you don't change, I'll tell Sister Qian!"
Zheng Qianqian happened to come out of the office and saw them arguing.
"You've already finished drawing all the pictures? And you still have time to argue? What the hell is going on?!"
Ma Lin's voice dropped several notches, as if she had just suffered a great injustice. "Sister Qian, didn't you say that our group should help each other? Jiang Jibai won't help us with the drawings."
Zheng Qianqian looked at Jiang Jibai, her eyes blaming him: "We're all colleagues, what's wrong with asking you to revise it? It won't take you much time."
Jiang Jibai clenched the armrests of the chair. This was not the first time that Zheng Qianqian openly protected Ma Lin and the others.
But it's always like this, she is always the one being blamed when something goes wrong.
This time, Jiang Jibai didn't want to accept it anymore. "It's not fair." Jiang Jibai stood up and said, "Why should I help them revise their manuscript for free?"
Zheng Qianqian's eyes flashed with surprise at Jiang Jibai's words, and then turned into ridicule.
Zheng Qianqian knew what she feared most. She had a threatening look in her eyes: "Since you can't change it, then leave!"
