Chapter 110 Waiting for the IOU to be completely invalidated
Nie Jing denied this.
"I didn't arrange for anyone to conceal Lele's affairs. Although I blocked the news from the set at the time, he is still someone in the industry after all, so it's impossible for him not to leak any information. But when I came to my senses, I noticed that what happened on the set that day was not reported anywhere."
Of course, Nie Jing also felt that something was wrong, but he had no idea what to do for the moment.
The two of them have not offended anyone in particular in the circle, and the person who can do these things is definitely not someone that ordinary people can do.
I just don't know who this person is.
Ning Mingluo looked at Cen Le who had not woken up yet, then looked at Nie Jing, and suddenly a guess came to his mind.
"So you have no clue about the poisoning?"
Nie Jing shook his head. "That food was a box lunch ordered by the crew. Everyone's food was randomly distributed. There's no way to tell if Lele was deliberately targeted, or if Lele was just unlucky and ended up eating that box lunch."
Ning Mingluo's heart sank again.
"Tell me when he wakes up. If he has any difficulties, please tell me at any time. He is my friend and I want him to get better soon."
After Ning Mingluo understood Cen Le's situation and took into account his own guesses, he decided not to stay here any longer.
Gu Xiucheng followed Ning Mingluo out of the ward. His eyes were always on Ning Mingluo, and he naturally noticed that something was wrong with Ning Mingluo's condition.
As soon as we got into the elevator, I asked, "What's wrong? You look so worried?"
Ning Mingluo looked at Gu Xiucheng. His guess was completely unfounded. He felt that he was being made suspicious.
But if he doesn't tell Gu Xiucheng, who else can he tell about his worries?
"I think Cen Le's poisoning might have something to do with me."
Gu Xiucheng didn't say Ning Mingluo was overthinking it, but simply asked, "Is there any detail that you're concerned about?"
"Yes, the time he was poisoned was very close to the time I was injured, so I made the connection. He was one of the few friends I knew, so I wondered if I had harmed him."
He didn't have many friends before, so he didn't expect that person to attack someone around him.
But if he really cares about himself and keeps paying attention to what happens to him, it is not impossible for him to take action against Cen Le.
Gu Xiucheng also approved of Ning Mingluo's idea.
Because Cen Le's personality is not like that of someone who would make enemies with others, and because the competition for resources is not so fierce, there will never be such a life-and-death struggle around him.
Moreover, if it was just a competition for resources among peers, someone with such ability would never use such means to harm Cen Le.
So after eliminating all impossibilities, their guess is very likely to be correct.
"I will arrange someone to help Cen Le with his treatment. Don't worry, he will be fine." Gu Xiucheng put his arm around Ning Mingluo's shoulders.
Now, in addition to finding the person behind this, there is another very important thing, which is to save Cen Le.
If he doesn't wake up, Ning Mingluo will never feel at peace.
Ning Mingluo leaned into Gu Xiucheng's arms. It seemed that now only Gu Xiucheng could give him some comfort.
After examining Cen Le, Gu Xiucheng arranged for someone to examine Cen Le again.
After that, Cen Le recovered quickly, and Ning Mingluo breathed a sigh of relief when he knew it.
As long as Cen Le is safe, it's fine.
Because he was still worried, Gu Xiucheng arranged for someone to stay with Cen Le for a while. Until no one special appeared around Cen Le, he stopped paying special attention to the situation over there.
Ning Mingluo was wondering again if he was overthinking.
Moreover, since all the staff around him had been replaced by Gu Xiucheng, no strange things happened around him anymore, so Ning Mingluo gradually felt relieved.
Although he was always worried, Ning Mingluo felt at ease every time he saw Gu Xiucheng.
After Ning Mingluo's injury was fully recovered, Luo Chen continued to arrange Ning Mingluo's work as planned.
After the filming of the previous drama was completed, Ning Mingluo had a good rest for a while, but because of the previous commitment in terms of endorsement, Luo Chen did not make any special arrangements. However, there was one thing recently that made Luo Chen more concerned.
"Blood Prince" has applied for an award.
This is a work that Director Zeng cares very much about, and he is also aiming for awards.
Although Ning Mingluo's performance was outstanding, he had just become popular after all. It was very likely that this drama would win the Best Picture or Best Director award, but Director Zeng still nominated Ning Mingluo for Best Actor and his nomination was approved.
This made Luo Chen start to think again.
Ning Mingluo is always criticized by other actors because of his endorsements, but if he could win an award, it would be a very different story.
Although nomination is recognition, the winner is the one who wins the award.
The contestants of the same period are all very good, and it is not certain whether you can win the award, but you still have to work hard.
Ning Mingluo was still a little dazed after hearing Luo Chen's news.
"Nominated?" Ning Mingluo himself was a little unconvinced.
He is very confident in his acting skills, and with the director's affirmation, he is becoming more and more confident.
But he didn't expect that he would be nominated.
After all, my fame is not particularly high, and there are many powerful predecessors.
Ning Mingluo was nervous, but since he had been nominated, he would not see himself clearly.
"Don't worry, I've seen several actors who performed at the same time as you. Don't worry too much. If this award ceremony is a normal one, you have a high chance of winning."
Ning Mingluo was a little surprised. Sister Chen was definitely not a blindly confident person. What happened today?
"Sister Chen, you seem very confident."
"Well, although the acting skills of others are okay, their character is not up to par. Character is a hidden score line. Although many people usually wear a human skin in the circle, who they are behind the scenes is not certain. For example, the male lead nominated for "Wheat Field" is an honest and loyal person in the play, but his private life is said to be very chaotic. It's just that because he has some background, these things have been suppressed and not reported much. However, the judges of the Golden Film Awards are not vegetarians. They will not give the award to such people because of these things. Others have some flaws. Compared with them, you are much cleaner. Moreover, your acting skills are contagious, you are well-known, and with Shengshi behind you, these judges should be happy to vote for you."
Moreover, the box office of this movie is obvious to all, so the possibility of giving it to Ning Mingluo is very high.
It is precisely because of many considerations that Luo Chen is so confident.
"Okay, then I'd like to thank Sister Chen for her affirmation."
"This is the recognition you deserve for your hard work over such a long time."
Luo Chen has seen Ning Mingluo's plays, and he has never slacked off in any of them, no matter how insignificant the role was.
She thought it would be strange if Ning Mingluo didn't win the award.
After all, he won the Best Actor award at such a young age.
He has both talent and hard work, so people like him should stand at the top.
In the evening, Gu Xiu took Ning Mingluo home.
Ning Mingluo has not joined the team recently and has been spending most of his time in the company, taking the body fitness classes arranged for him by Luo Chen.
Gu Xiucheng secretly felt jealous several times, but since Ning Mingluo was in class, he had no choice but to pick her up from work every day.
As soon as he got in the car today, Ning Mingluo happily shared his good news with Gu Xiucheng.
"I've been nominated for Best Actor. This is my first drama since joining Shengshi Film, and I've already been nominated. Am I amazing?"
Ning Mingluo had an expression that looked like he was asking for praise and commendation.
It's no wonder he acted like a child in front of Gu Xiucheng. Gu Xiucheng doted on him, and Ning Mingluo's personality naturally became more cheerful and lively. Moreover, he had previously told Gu Xiucheng that if he signed him, he would reward Gu Xiucheng.
Now is the time to prove himself, so of course he is happy.
Gu Xiucheng dotingly scratched Ning Mingluo's nose and said, "Our Mingluo is really amazing. A single movie got nominated, and the box office data is also good. It's really my blessing."
Ning Mingluo's mouth curled up when he was praised, and he felt very pleased.
He prefers praise from his lover to praise from others. It is a wonderful feeling that cannot be compared with any other feeling.
There was originally a huge gap in status between him and Gu Xiucheng. Only by making progress little by little could he feel that he was getting closer to Gu Xiucheng.
Gu Xiucheng tilted his head to look at Ning Mingluo.
He understood Ning Mingluo's determination and persistence, but he also wanted to tell Ning Mingluo that she didn't need to try so hard. If he looked carefully, he would find that Gu Xiucheng was walking towards Ning Mingluo.
He didn't care what position Ning Mingluo held, he just wanted Ning Mingluo to be in his arms.
Ning Mingluo didn't notice Gu Xiucheng's gaze and just continued to speak to himself, "This nomination was unexpected, but it proves that everything is getting better. Moreover, because of this nomination, many scripts have come to me recently. Sister Chen said that if I carefully select one, she will let me join the crew again. Sister Chen said that now that I have been nominated, I have to be more cautious in choosing scripts. But fortunately, the debt I owe you is almost paid off, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to pay it back with my current workload."
When talking about paying off debts, Gu Xiucheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Then my excellent boyfriend, besides considering paying off the debt, when will he let me become your regular wife and give me a legitimate status?"
Ning Mingluo choked when he suddenly heard Gu Xiucheng asking for a formal relationship.
He is now with Gu Xiucheng, and the two of them eat and live together. In fact, they are no different from other couples.
It’s just that because of what I said before about paying off debts and doing an inspection at the same time, I haven’t really decided on it yet.
Now Gu Xiucheng obviously wants more status and is expressing his dissatisfaction with this.
Ning Mingluo coughed lightly and looked out the car window.
"We agreed that we would wait until I paid it all back, and I haven't paid it back yet."
Ning Mingluo said this, but her face from cheeks to ears had already turned red.
Gu Xiucheng's eyes swept over his whole body, and he opened his thin lips slightly and uttered the word "OK".
"I'll wait until the IOU is completely void."
