Chapter 75 We Are Just Colleagues
Mu Nanyan said modestly: "It depends on the sales data. I don't know what the result will be."
"When your design was shown to the public that day, everyone liked it very much. I like it too. I believe there will be no problem with it."
"Thanks."
Mu Nanyan didn't expect that this girl was so optimistic about her, and her tone of voice was very sincere, not at all like she was complimenting her or saying polite words. She felt that this girl was very good and good-looking, unlike the previous Chen Wenyue who had always targeted her.
In fact, Zhou Ruxuan was so kind to her because Chen Wenyue had bullied her before. When she first came to the company, she was also targeted by Chen Wenyue, but she was a newcomer at the time and had no background, so she could only let her be bullied. Now that Mu Nanyan has driven her away, it is also a help to her, so she has such a good impression of Mu Nanyan.
Mu Nanyan wanted to see the samples of her own designs, so she got up and went to the technical department. When she arrived at the entrance of the design department, she met a male colleague. Mu Nanyan stopped him and said,
"Hello, I'm the designer of this autumn's new collection. Can you take me to see the samples?"
The male colleague looked her up and down, his eyes full of amazement, and then asked uncertainly: "Are you Mu Nanyan?"
"Do you know me?"
"Everyone in the company knows you. Maybe you'll be the boss lady of the company in the future."
Mu Nanyan's face turned a little unhappy when she heard this. It was because of them spreading rumors that Lu Yiran misunderstood the relationship between her and Shang Yu, resulting in the two of them not even being able to be friends now.
"You misunderstood. Shang Yu and I are just colleagues. I am not his girlfriend."
Mu Nanyan didn't care about these rumors before, but now it is necessary to explain them properly.
"Really? But everyone is saying that you are Mr. Xiao Shang's girlfriend, that you got in through connections, and that you were able to participate in this design because of you..."
"This new product design was selected through a competition within our design department. If you have any objections, you can go to the design director."
Mu Nanyan interrupted her directly, and her tone became serious, completely different from the smiling Mu Nanyan just now. The male colleague was also frightened by Mu Nanyan's momentum and dared not gossip anymore. He said with a stiff upper lip:
"Come on, I'll take you to see the samples."
The male colleague led the way, and Mu Nanyan followed behind. They soon came to a separate room. On the left were rows of fabrics of different colors and styles. In the middle was a large workbench with many mannequins placed next to it. Samples of new products were hung on the shelf on the right.
"This is it. Go in and take a look yourself. Be careful not to break anything."
"OK, thanks."
After Mu Nanyan thanked him, the male colleague left. He'd assumed Mu Nanyan was easy to talk to, so he'd gossiped with her out of curiosity. Who knew she was so difficult to get along with? He'd kept his mouth shut. If Mu Nanyan really became the boss's wife, he might even lose his job. But judging by Mu Nanyan's attitude just now, could it be that they weren't really together, or had Shang Yu dumped her? Never mind, work was more important, and the male colleague returned to his work.
Mu Nanyan came to the samples and took out a few of them to look at them. She found that the samples were made quite well, the fabrics were very comfortable, and she also liked the colors they matched. The cut of the clothes also suited her design.
If all ready-made clothes were produced with this quality, she felt that these clothes would be a big seller.
Mu Nanyan felt relieved, hung it up again intact, and prepared to leave the technical department. As she reached the entrance of the technical department, she was stopped by someone.
"Nan Yan."
Mu Nanyan heard someone calling her, she turned and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Shang Yu with his hands in his pockets.
Shang Yu returned to his old style, a sports outfit that made him look like a recent college graduate. It really suited him, as he used to look so serious in a suit, which didn't suit him at all.
Mu Nanyan didn't expect to meet Shang Yu suddenly. She walked around the technical director's office for fear of meeting Shang Yu, but she didn't expect to run into him.
But shouldn't Shang Yu be playing games in his office? Why did he suddenly come out?
Mu Nanyan was just wondering when Shang Yu took a few steps forward. Mu Nanyan saw the man following behind him. She instantly understood what was going on. It turned out that the male colleague who took her to see the samples had gone to tip off the man.
Mu Nanyan really had no way to hide this time, so she could only walk over with a smile.
"Shang Yu, long time no see."
"Yeah, didn't you say you might not be able to come to the company for a long time? And now you're back to work after just a few days. By the way, is your injury healed?"
Shang Yu looked at Mu Nanyan with a worried look on his face. He found that there were some scabs on her wrists and her knees were also red.
Mu Nanyan smiled politely and said:
"My injury is almost healed, don't worry."
"I saw your car when I first arrived at the company this morning. I even went to the design department to look for you, but I couldn't find you. You didn't even come to say hello to me when you came to the technical department today. Why do I feel like you're avoiding me?"
Shang Yu directly expressed his doubts. Mu Nanyan knew that she really couldn't hide from it now, and that the public opinion about the two of them in the company needed to be clarified. She deliberately raised her voice and said:
"Boss Xiao Shang, we're just colleagues. I'm very grateful for your help before, but now that the company is buzzing about us, I think it's necessary to avoid suspicion to avoid misunderstandings. So let's have less contact in the future. Besides, I'm just an ordinary intern in the company, and it's really not appropriate for me to get too close to you. I hope you can understand."
Almost all the employees in the technical department heard what Mu Nanyan said. They all looked at each other, not daring to speak, and all paid attention to Shang Yu's expression.
Shang Yu didn't know what had happened to Mu Nanyan. It'd only been a few days since they last met, so why had her attitude changed so drastically? And wasn't she fine the day she asked him to help her get some leave? Why was she suddenly like this? And Mu Nanyan had deliberately raised her voice, wanting everyone to hear. Did she really want to distance herself from him?
Many questions popped up in Shang Yu's mind, but no one gave him answers. Moreover, with so many people watching Shang Yu, he would not allow himself to be at a disadvantage. He had his own pride, and he would not give up his pride for a woman.
