【2205L: ? Are you kidding me? Is this a photoshopped image?】

[2210L: No photoshopping at all!! My latest follower is really Cen Yu!!!]

[2215L: But it's impossible for Cen Yu to actually get a role, right?! Has he acted before? I remember he was a complete newcomer?]

[2230L: Report! Never acted before, a complete novice before entering the entertainment industry!]

[2235L: Probably just a minor character? Maybe they'll announce them from most important to least important.]

[2240L: What's the meaning of Ji Hengyun's statement?]

[2250L: Never mind, it's just that the person upstairs failed at eating the pancake and her defenses crumbled (laughs)]

The news that the official Weibo account of "Dog Journey" followed Cen Yu not only sparked a discussion in this post, but also prompted several marketing accounts to immediately take screenshots. The first reaction of onlookers was—

Is this for real?! How could it be?!

But after checking the official Weibo account, they found that the latest follower was indeed Cen Yu.

Cen Yu himself hasn't posted anything on Weibo yet; his last post was a repost of the group's upcoming mini-album announcement.

Cen Yu saw the official Weibo account following his message while he was in the car with Xie Jinshen... In an instant, his WeChat was flooded with overt and covert probing messages, but Cen Yu didn't reply to any of them.

He pulled his hat down and looked at Xie Jinshen, "Am I going to have to wear a hat all the time?"

Xie Jinshen looked at Cen Yu's current appearance.

Cen Yu's hair has been slightly trimmed. The upper half of her head is still black and hasn't been bleached, while the lower half has been bleached to yellow—not the platinum blonde that has been bleached more than three times, but the color from the cheapest hair salon, where she only had it washed once with cheap and pungent bleaching powder. It's yellow, dry, and uneven.

That's true. Someone like Qian Aige doesn't have money to begin with, so why would she go to those luxuriously decorated beauty salons?

Moreover, the background is around 2006, when there weren't as many barbershops to choose from as there are now, so the colors and styles do have some characteristics of that era.

"This look will probably have to be kept secret until we join the crew," Xie Jinshen said.

Fortunately, the mini-album shoot was completed ahead of schedule, as were several commercial shoots. Apart from the occasional group variety show they will participate in later, they have hardly had any opportunities to appear in public recently.

When the van arrived at Yunxing Building, Yan Chongning got in. "We're going to Director Gu's studio later."

Cen Yu was puzzled, "This trip wasn't mentioned before?"

"They want to see your new hairstyle to see if it needs further modification," Yan Chongning said.

“But we’re not going there today.” Yan Chongning said, directing the driver to go somewhere else, “to Gu Hanyin’s private studio.”

Cen Yu guessed that it was probably because there were too many paparazzi staking out the factory and studio recently, and Gu Hanyin was unwilling to reveal too much information in advance, so she changed the meeting place.

But he couldn't help but ask, "He also has a private studio?"

How many studios does he actually have?

Yan Chongning was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Cen Yu, "You know Gu Hanyin is a third-generation rich kid, right?"

"I know." It's something everyone in the entertainment industry knows.

If you don't make good movies, you'll have to go back and inherit the family business.

“The Gu family has real estate-related businesses among their operations,” Yan Chongning hinted.

Well! So it's the landlord!

...

Following Yan Chongning's instructions, the driver quickly arrived at Yan Chongning's private studio.

Cen Yu discovered that the private studio was converted from an old villa, with a separate garden, a considerable area, and a superior location... Perhaps because the license plate number had been given beforehand, the nanny van was not stopped when it entered. The black iron gate opened, and the villa appeared before their eyes.

After getting off the car, Cen Yu saw Gu Hanyin standing at the entrance of the mansion, wearing a camel hair cardigan and trousers.

Cen Yu had already taken off his hat inside the car. Gu Hanyin's gaze lingered on his pudding-like head for a few seconds before she said, "Come in."

After Cen Yu entered the villa, he found that the interior had been completely renovated.

On the dark patchwork floor, there was a hand-woven rug that I didn't know where it came from, and there were trinkets collected by Gu Hanyin on the walls... Several people were already sitting in the living room. Cen Yu glanced at them and found that in addition to Ji Hengyun, there were several unfamiliar faces.

After Yan Chongning entered, he found that the people there also looked familiar.

"Young Master Yan?" The man sitting on the sofa looked up, seemingly surprised to see Yan Chongning. "You personally manage artists?"

"Young Master Yan..." Yan Chongning smiled, "After all, it's Director Gu's movie, so of course we have to be careful in everything we do."

Xie Jinshen was still wearing his glasses and a cotton-padded coat. He didn't say anything when he came in, so he didn't attract much attention.

Cen Yu didn't care about these strangers. After greeting Ji Hengyun and Mu Fengyin, he nodded to them as well.

The man who had previously addressed him as "Young Master Yan" couldn't help but speak up when he saw Cen Yu's lukewarm attitude, "Young Master Yan's artists are quite high-profile, aren't they? Haha."

In the past, Cen Yu would probably have spoken up directly—

"Should I kneel down and kowtow to you? That's what I usually do when I'm keeping vigil."

But considering He Ci's blood vessels were about to burst, Cen Yu smiled modestly, "I wouldn't dare accept that, because I'm an i person."

"?" This person is baffled.

In the past, the artist would have already apologized with trepidation at this time. Why are they suddenly being given an MBTI test?

"I forgot to introduce him," Yan Chongning interrupted, "This is CEO Zhou, one of the co-producers."

Yan Chongning looked down on this person at all. Although it was a joint production, he didn't actually invest much money. He only included him because of his older brother's influence... He didn't expect this person to put on such a show.

Moreover, the real major investor in this movie is Mr. Zhou's older brother, who is probably too busy to attend and had his younger brother attend on his behalf.

Upon hearing this, Cen Yu immediately replied, "Hello, Mr. Zhou."

...Mr. Zhou hates it when people remind him that he is the "small" one.

He looked at Yan Chongning and knew that the man was doing it on purpose, and he immediately felt annoyed.

He opened his mouth to say something more, but someone came down from the second floor and said, "Shut up, don't keep being stupid."

The man was wearing a suit, iron gray, with his coat draped over his arm... When Cen Yu looked up, he met the man's gaze and found that the man had sharp features and a cold, hard temperament, like an unpolished stone. The two only looked at each other for a moment before the man looked away, as if Cen Yu was not taken seriously by him.

"Alright, everyone's here, right?" Ji Hengyun finally spoke.

Ji Hengyun looked at Cen Yu and said, "Everyone is curious about who Qian Aige, the one Gu Hanyin chose, is."

He looked at Cen Yu's yellow-dyed pudding-like hair and said, "Since you just finished your haircut, I thought we could get together."
