Cao Fang wasn't a newcomer, and when she heard Gu ask the same question, she knew he wanted to use Qiao Moya.

She didn't argue with him, but said tactfully, "Qiao Moya was our initial choice, but her popularity has been a bit low lately, and your KPIs are too high, so we're worried..."

"You mean her image and temperament fit the bill, but she's not very popular?"

"yes!"

Gu immediately made the decision: "Use her! I'll figure out how to generate buzz!"

"……good!"

After Cao Fang left, Gu Ye called Duan Huaisheng: "Is the travel variety show you invested in about to start filming?"

"Next week? What's wrong? Why is Mr. Gu suddenly interested in my affairs?"

"Add someone to my team."

"Mr. Gu, are you kidding me? I already sent out the staff list during the publicity campaign. You want me to add more people now? How can I add them? I can't!"

"Think of a way, consider it a favor I owe you!"

Duan Huaisheng, who had spoken very definitively, was tempted by Gu Ye's words. Businessmen exchange interests, and Gu Ye's favors were not something that could be measured in money.

Duan Huaisheng smiled and said, "I'm quite curious about who this person is..."

After Gu Ye openly revealed the name, Duan Huaisheng exclaimed in surprise, "What? Qiao Moya? You don't have something going on with him, do you? Weren't you deeply in love with Yu Sheng?"

Gu didn't say much, only saying, "Keep this a secret for me!"

...

Three days later (Saturday), it's time to go to the hot springs in the suburbs.

Yu Sheng didn't want to go at all; if she didn't go, the game would definitely be lost.

The first person to not let her off the hook was Yu Jing, since the purpose of this event was to set Shang Yan up on a blind date.

Before leaving, Yu Jing pulled Yu Sheng aside and instructed her: "Besides secretly observing whether Li Susu is suitable for A Yan, you also need to create more opportunities for them to be alone together, understand?"

"I know, you've said that so many times already!"

Yu Sheng and Gu Ye rode in the same car.

Shang Yan and Li Susu each drove off.

Because he needed to stay there for the night, Gu had booked the room well in advance.

After he started the car, he kept trying to find topics to talk about with Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng responded lukewarmly, but later, not wanting to continue, she put on her headphones and started reading...

Gu was also somewhat disappointed.

From that day on, Yu Sheng treated him the same way. She looked exactly like she did when he first met her ten years ago, when she closed her heart and ignored everyone.

It took him a full ten years to get her to open her heart to him, but in less than a month, he was back to square one.

He gripped the steering wheel, filled with regret.

If time could be turned back, he definitely wouldn't have cheated.

However, he was able to get her to open her heart ten years ago, and he can do it again ten years later!

It's just a matter of time!

He still has that much confidence!

An hour and a half later, the car stopped in front of a hot spring hotel called 'Moon Nest'.

Seeing the car stop, Yu Sheng looked out the window and asked Gu Ye, "Have we arrived?"

"Yes, Li Susu has arrived. She brought a friend with her, probably to have her friend give her some feedback!"

It's perfectly normal for a woman to bring her best friend along on a blind date to vet the woman. Yu Sheng didn't think much of it or say anything, just gave a faint reply, unbuckled her seatbelt, and got out of the car.

Although the snowfall was heavy three days ago, it was cleared as soon as it stopped to avoid disrupting the city's operations, so there is no snow left in the city.

But the snow in the mountains is still there, covering the forests and the undulating mountain ranges, creating a white wonderland that makes you feel like you're in another world.

The scenery before her made Yu Sheng temporarily forget the pain that had been building up in her heart for the past few days, and she took a deep breath.

The cool air entered her lungs through her mouth and nose, making her feel exceptionally comfortable.

Although she was initially uninterested in the hot spring trip, she was pleasantly surprised by what she found.

"Let's go inside, it's cold outside."

Gu Ye's voice pulled Yu Sheng back from her reverie. She suppressed the childlike smile on her face and turned to follow him into the hall.

As soon as Yu Sheng entered, she heard a woman calling out the name 'Gu Ye'.

Turning around, she saw two women standing not far away.

One is Li Susu, and the other is... Qiao Moya!

Yu Sheng frowned slightly.

Could it be that the friend Li Susu brought is Qiao Moya?

Does Gu know?

Yu Sheng looked at Gu Ye.

The moment their eyes met, Gu seemed to see through her thoughts and lowered his voice, saying, "I didn't know her friend was Qiao Moya."

Yu Sheng stared at him and said, "Don't you not know her name?"

Gu Ye's expression hardened, and he was about to explain when Li Susu and Qiao Moya walked over.

Li Susu and Shang Yan are about the same age. They went abroad to study after finishing junior high school.

Over the years, she had been living abroad. Although she was a daughter of an official, she was not very familiar with Beijing's social circles and had never met Gu Ye.

But Gu is also a celebrity, and there are many photos of him online.

In addition, his recent announcement of his marriage caused a sensation online, which Li Susu happened to see.

So, although she had never met Gu before, she recognized him the moment he stepped into the hotel.

Of course, even if she didn't recognize her, Jomoa would remind her!

Although Li Susu was quite certain that the man was Gu Ye, she still smiled and asked when she got closer, "You must be Gu Ye?"

"I'm Gu Ye, and you must be Sister Su Su, right?"

Li Susu responded and, linking arms with Qiao Moya, said, "This is my best friend, Qiao Moya. You've probably heard of her, right? She's a celebrity, one of the four little actresses in the entertainment industry!"
