Chapter 9: The first appearance of the monsters and demons. Don't get your fans in the face...

Gu Zhi was stunned for a few seconds, then began to hold back his laughter.

He endured it with great difficulty and his eyes were red.

"Laugh if you want to." Jiang Ziyi was playing badly.

"I'm sorry... I... this is the best gift I've ever received in my life." Gu Zhi covered the lower half of his face with his elbow.

"I know what this means to you, and I'm really, really happy—" He calmly pushed away the oversized bottle of vodka, "but let's forget it, let's not drink anymore."

"Jiang Ziyi, let's take it slow together, okay?" Gu Zhi's voice was as gentle as the wind shaking the snow off the pine branches.

————————————————————

The next morning, the two packed their bags and headed to the "Love Cabin".

Jiang Ziyi got out of the passenger seat and found four cars parked at the door.

Aren’t there only three pairs of guests? She was just wondering when Director Yu Huating and Screenwriter Du Xiaofang turned their backs to each other and locked their cars.

"Oh, isn't this Yiyi!" Du Xiaofang trotted two steps, affectionately took Jiang Ziyi's arm, and did not forget to bump Yu Huating's shoulder hard, who gave her a middle finger behind her.

"Sister Du, long time no see." Jiang Ziyi glanced at Gu Zhi awkwardly.

"Brother Yu, I've long heard of your name." Gu Zhi immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"I've heard of your names for a long time," Director Yu said, holding up his glasses, "My kids have been following you two for a long time."

"She also wrote an article and published it on your common fan site, it's that one... Holding Your Hand, it's a good name, and many children liked her post!" Yu Huating said in a shocking tone like a veteran cadre.

Jiang Ziyi and Gu Zhi looked at each other.

"That's called a CP super topic, not a fan site. What a piece of shit." Du Xiaofang snorted coldly.

"Besides, the woman on this show is getting divorced, so she may not be willing to be matched up by netizens. Why are you throwing your fangirling at her?"

"Look at you, you're ruining the fun again! What I meant was that Huahua has good writing skills and other people are happy to read what she writes!" Director Yu said with his neck stiff.

"You're such a disgrace. I don't even want to bother with you." Du Bian led Jiang Ziyi into the house.

Another couple had arrived earlier.

"Welcome, welcome!" Luo Pan looked carefree, "Hey, sister, why do you have so little luggage?" She pointed at Jiang Ziyi's shoulder bag and asked.

"Oh, Gu Zhi has it." Jiang Ziyi took off his coat.

That guy always followed the gentleman's code meticulously, and she was too lazy to argue with him anymore.

"Oh my God, it must be so heavy!" Luo Pan ran behind Jiang Ziyi and tried to pick up the suitcase in Gu Zhi's hand.

"No need, it's just a few steps away." Gu Zhi said tactfully.

"Senior Brother Lin Shen loves his wife very much, unlike the one in my family who doesn't care about work at all." Luo Pan missed his target and quickly made up for it.

"Who is Lin Shen?" Jiang Ziyi asked curiously.

"The floor is cold, change your shoes first." Gu Zhi unpacked her disposable slippers, "They are from a TV drama character I played."

He and Luo Pan seemed to have a scene together, but I can't remember it clearly.

"Oh, I haven't seen it." Jiang Ziyi was not very interested.

The six of them sat down at the long table.

"Everyone, please introduce yourselves to each other first," Luo Pan swayed on his chair, "I'm only more familiar with Brother Lin Shen now, hahahaha."

"I still prefer to be called by my real name, Miss Luo." Gu Zhi said politely.

Luo Pan laughed awkwardly, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

"Or let's have breakfast first. Aren't you hungry?" Du Xiaofang had already set her eyes on the soy milk and fried dough sticks that Gu Jiang and his friend bought on the way.

"Hey, why are you in such a hurry? You haven't even met all the people yet." Director Yu always supported his wife's objections.

"My name is Yu Huating, courtesy name Shunzhi. I am the director of the movie "Long Distance" and the TV series "Years Ago", the founder of Hongtu Theater, the executive director of Huacai Group, the honorary professor of Shuimu University, and a special writer for the newspaper "New Vision"..."

Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but stretch his neck to look behind Yu Huating.

"What's the matter?" Du Xiaofang asked from the side.

"Oh, nothing, I just want to know if there are a few more people sitting behind him." Jiang Ziyi said honestly.

It took Yu Huating a few seconds to react. He gave Gu Zhi a look of embarrassment and annoyance, asking "Can you please take care of this?", but he found that a well-known person with high emotional intelligence was very happy.

"My name is Du Xiaofang, and I'm the screenwriter for the first season of the TV series "This Time, This Year", which has a Garlic Banana Rating of 9.2. By the way, the recently aired second season only has a Garlic Banana Rating of 7.1, and I hired someone to give it a thumbs-up."

"You hired someone to give it a thumbs-up! They gave it all negative reviews!" Yu Huating slammed the table, "Do you have the guts to compare the average number of views per episode?"

"Without the reputation I've accumulated, who would watch the movie you wrote and directed?" Du Xiaofang glared at him.

"Seniors... calm down." Gu Zhi tried to stop the fight. "Well, my name is Gu Zhi, I'm an actor, and it's an honor to meet you all."

"My name is Jiang Ziyi, and I'm also an actor. Nice to meet you all."

"How old is Sister Jiang?" Luo Pan asked very abruptly.

"26." Jiang Ziyi answered without thinking.

"Wow~ I'm only 21 years old, and it seems I'm the youngest." Luo Pan blinked his big watery eyes.

"Oh... okay, then congratulations?" Jiang Ziyi didn't quite understand what she wanted to do.

"Pfft," Du Xiaofang couldn't help laughing, "Girl, you are really my type."

"My name is Luo Pan. I was a member of the idol group EVEN. I am currently entering the film and television industry. I have relatively little acting experience. I have previously worked with Brother Gu Zhi on a fairy tale drama. He really took good care of me. I would like to express my gratitude here again, Pen Core~"

Before Luo Pan finished speaking, the young man wearing a baseball cap and who had remained silent put down his glass with a "pop" and said: "My name is Wang Zihe, I'm just an ordinary rapper, nothing much to say."

"Young people nowadays are really unique..." Yu Huating muttered.

"I may not be as famous as you, but I am a sincere person. What's up?" Wang Zihe made a series of difficult hand gestures, shaking like a propeller about to take off.

In the chaos, Jiang Ziyi and Gu Zhi looked at each other again.

What kind of monsters are these!
