Succession

Wen Chu had been Qi Yuan's stunt double for 8 years. From a lowly stand-in to mirroring Qi Yuan's every glance and smile, she had enough.

She finally had her own work, attributed to h...

Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Mr. Gu? !

He Sheng is already old, and sometimes it really gets him mad when he talks to the second and third generations of these big families. They rely on their family's size to act with extreme arrogance, and yet others can't do anything to them. He suffered bullying when he was young, and now he has to endure the bullying of these third generations again.

Secretary Li pushed a document towards Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng glanced down at it, then uncapped his pen and signed. His phone vibrated again. He glanced at it; this time it was from the production manager.

All I send are photos.

A photo of Wen Chu at the scene.

Gu Cheng pushed the file away and opened his phone.

At the meeting, several senior executives were arguing, their voices a cacophony of noise fading into the background. Gu Cheng flipped through the photos. Some showed her in riding clothes, others in a boudoir dress, and even in her casual attire. She was wearing loose clothing, talking to people, her eyebrows curved, her lips curled in a smile.

Gu Cheng flipped through the pages one by one.

He looked as serious as if he was reading a document. Several senior executives were waiting for him to make a decision after a discussion. When they looked up and saw him looking at his phone seriously, they thought it was some big deal.

I didn't dare disturb him.

After a long while, Gu Cheng put down his phone, looked up and asked, "Are you done arguing?"

They were stunned and coughed. Gu Cheng said, "After this argument, let me say a few words. While AI is essential for technological development, our focus shouldn't be on the grassroots, but on higher levels. I disagree with everything you just said, especially regarding those companies you're planning to acquire. If you haven't figured out how to handle them after they're acquired, then slow down the acquisition process..."

They all quieted down.

Gu Cheng stood up and walked out. Secretary Li followed him and said that the current public opinion on the Internet was biased towards Wen Chu. Gu Cheng listened and nodded.

Push the door and enter the office.

Secretary Li hurriedly caught up and realized that when Mr. Gu said he wanted to settle the accounts, he was really not just talking...

Miss Qi.

To some extent, it is indeed too much.

This is probably the problem with some wealthy daughters.

Xinghe mobilized a large number of online trolls to confuse right and wrong, saying, "Even if Wen Chu replaced many classic scenes, so what? But isn't the whole drama presented to everyone? Can we deny the contributions of others just based on a few scenes?"

The person who refuted followed up: "I didn't deny it, I just want your Yuanyuan to admit that it was Wen Chu's credit. That shouldn't be difficult."

"It's funny. Wen Chu is a stunt double. It's amazing that she can do this. You can't deny that it's these classic scenes that made this drama successful. For example, the female knight, you can't deny that? The scene that became popular was because of her stunt double."

"That's right. Qi Yuan earned all the fame, while the stunt double suffered all the hardship. Is there such a thing as this in this world?"

Of course Xinghe wouldn't just give up, and released some footage, hoping to black Wenchu, but unfortunately she was a stunt double, so the footage was scarce...

Before the incident of Wen Chu falling happened on the set of "The Legend of Qingping", the crew was as quiet as a chicken. They refused to present any materials to Xinghe and asked Xinghe not to mention the Legend of Qingping.

There was a lot of noise on the Internet, but Wen Chu had no time to read it. She and Jiang Ran were in good shape, and the scenes were being filmed one after another, and they had already filmed the scene where she entered the palace.

When she entered the palace, it was winter and snowing. The sedan chair could not go any further after entering the official road, so she had to get off with her maid holding an umbrella for her.

Walk towards the palace step by step.

The new emperor didn't take her entry into the palace seriously, so he only gave her the proper etiquette...

This scene is also often used to promote this drama, red walls, red clothes, and snow all over the ground...

Her fate is unknown.

Just like Wen Chu's current situation, her fate is also unknown. This requires delicate emotional acting skills. Director Tang asked her to prepare in advance, and when filming started, the effect was unexpectedly good.

Finished filming this segment.

It's getting dark.

Everyone went to eat. Although they were tired of eating from lunch boxes, they would still feel hungry when they smelled the aroma of the opened food after finishing the filming. Wen Chu sat down and took the lunch box.

Zhu Ru came over with an insulated box, put it on the table and opened it.

There were two thermal boxes, each containing a dish and soup. Wen Chu bit his chopsticks and asked, "Did you make this?"

Zhu Ru smiled and said, "I do want to."

She leaned in close and whispered, "Your ex-boyfriend had the hotel kitchen make this home-cooked meal."

Wen Chu paused, then looked at the dishes in the lunch box. No wonder they were all her favorites. Zhu Ru pushed the soup to her and said, "It's good to change the taste occasionally. It's really not human to eat too much in the lunch box."

Wen Chu paused, picked up the chopsticks and picked up some food.

Zhu Ru held up her face and watched her eat, and said: "It should be said, not talking about love, this man is quite good."

Wen Chu looked at her seductively.

Zhu Ru smiled and adjusted her hair accessories: "The stuntman fought well in this battle. You just focus on filming, and we are all fighting for you."

Wen Chu paused her chopsticks and looked at Zhu Ru: "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? If you become famous, Qimeng will be revived by you."

Wen Chu smiled.

Jiang Ran came over and brought a fruit box to Wen Chu. He smiled and said, "Eat some fruit."

Li Qing and the others saw this and joked, "Oh, why is there only one copy?"

Jiang Ran smiled and said, "Yours, the assistant will bring it to you later."

"Wow, great!" Li Qing laughed heartily. She was the second female lead, the kind who battled fiercely with Wen Chu in the palace. Offscreen, however, she was carefree and straightforward. People online called her a perennial second-stringer because she almost never played the leading female role, but she didn't care. Acting was her hobby; making some money and gaining some popularity was enough for her.

So I am quite lucky and often get big productions with big crews.

Jiang Ran sat down next to Wen Chu. The two of them were now slowly entering a state of emotional tug-of-war. Apart from filming, they would often stay together on weekdays.

Jiang Ran's personality is the same as his, both of them are gentle and refined, and the two also have some common topics. Zhu Ru saw Wen Chu chatting with Jiang Ran while eating, and she smiled and took a photo.

It was posted on Qimeng’s official blog the next day.

The hero and heroine were chatting side by side under the moonlight, it was so romantic, Chu Ran immediately kissed her.

Secretary Li accidentally came across this photo while accompanying Gu Cheng at a social event. He paused and subconsciously put his phone down. Gu Cheng unbuttoned his cuffs and took a sip from his wine glass. He smelled faintly of alcohol. He noticed Secretary Li's furtive movements and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Secretary Li immediately smiled and said, "No."

Gu Cheng listened to the shareholder next to him and tapped the table with his fingertips, signaling Secretary Li to take it out. Secretary Li shrugged and put the phone away. Gu Cheng's expression had been a little relaxed due to the alcohol, but when he turned around and saw the photo on it, his eyes paused. He stared at the photo, forcing himself to detach himself.

It was just filming.

But people can also fall in love with each other because of the play. He took several seconds to look away with a cold expression.

The subsequent scenes became increasingly exciting, with no one taking a break, and they kept shooting. Director Tang was very strict with quality control, and once he noticed an actor was in good form, he would arrange for them to shoot the entire scene in one go. Wen Chu did this several times, but because she didn't have the same rules as the big-name actors, she was more like a worker, shooting whatever Director Tang arranged. The more pure her performance, the better the result.

Jiang Ran is a bit of a celebrity, after all, he has already won several leading male roles, and his value has also increased. He has never been so busy in other crews before.

But after coming here, under Director Tang's arrangement, he almost forgot that he was a top-tier traffic actor. The filming started as soon as the director called, and he actually got used to it slowly.

It can be said that everyone in the crew is both sad and happy.

This day's scenes were quite intense. Wen Chu's character engaged in a series of back-and-forth exchanges with the new emperor. Back in the palace, she engaged in a witty exchange with Li Qing's character, each punishing their maids. In the scene, Mingyue Wan'er felt exhausted. Though trained in martial arts, she had been a pampered young lady in the Prime Minister's mansion, coddled from childhood. Now, within the harem, she was scheming against each other, a life-or-death struggle with no end in sight. The opportunity never arrived, while those around her perished one by one.

"Card!"

Director Tang gave an order.

Wen Chu left the set and looked up to find it was another night. A temporary assistant came forward to lift her skirt and offer her water. After a day of non-stop filming, Wen Chu, like her character, was a little tired. She walked over the high threshold with her skirt lifted.

Not far away.

A tall man in a suit and tie stood under the red wall, looking over here.

Wen Chu saw him as soon as he looked up.

There were people all around, and their eyes met in the air. His eyes were still gentle. And in the tall gate and red walls, he looked like a man who had fallen into time and space in his suit.

Wen Chu lifted her skirt and the little assistant fanned her. She was not actually hot, but her skirt was cumbersome. Wen Chu stepped out of the yard and walked towards the official road. She was still somewhat in the play and had not completely lost herself in it.

Zhu Ru returned to Beijing to handle some work, and the young assistant was new, so Wen Chu didn't want to talk for the time being and walked slowly.

Gu Cheng followed behind her.

There are red walls on both sides.

The assistant turned around and saw the other person. She tugged at Wen Chu's sleeve and asked, "Sister...that person?"

Wen Chu whispered, "Don't worry about him."

The young assistant was slightly startled, but still turned around to look at him. He had his hands in his trouser pockets, broad shoulders and long legs, which made his suit fit him perfectly, and he looked very handsome.

Wen Chu touched it and asked, "Where's my phone?"

"Cellphone? Oh, I forgot to bring it. It's in Nanyuan. Sister, I'll get it." The young assistant was in a panic. President Zhu told her to take care of these details, but she always failed to do them well. She turned around and ran back to get it.

This isn't the first time.

Wen Chu has gotten used to it.

After the young assistant left, she and Gu Cheng were the only ones left on the official road.

Wen Chu stopped where she was and lifted her skirt to look.

Gu Cheng came across to her and saw sweat on her temples. He asked, "Is it hot?"

Wen Chu looked at his eyebrows and leaned back against the wall. She was really tired after filming all day, so she didn't respond. Gu Cheng looked at her for a few seconds, walked over, and came to her.

He glanced at his watch: "Are you hungry?"

Wen Chu was still looking at him, examining this man.

Ever since the breakup, she has been in a state of being covered in thorns. Every time she thinks of the past four years and the clothes he put into her closet, she feels so painful that she can't breathe.

now.

After listening to Zhu Ru's words, she decided that if she wanted to escape the pain, she had to think from a different perspective. She raised her eyes and asked, "In the past four years, have you been thinking of Qi Yuan every time you saw me?"

Gu Cheng looked into her eyes and shook his head: "I said, no."

"What about when we were in bed? Was there a moment... a second?" Wen Chu asked again.

Gu Cheng still shook his head.

"No."

Wen Chu took a step forward and put his hands around his neck.

Gu Cheng was slightly stunned, and lowered his eyes to look at her. The familiar scent of gardenias wafted from her body, making his heart beat faster. Wen Chu looked at his eyebrows and said, "Really?"

"Yes," he replied.

Wen Chu looked into his eyes and said, "Do you still like Qi Yuan? The kind of person who remembers every word she says and does everything she does..."

Gu Cheng felt a surge of pain in his heart.

He pinched her chin and wiped the sweat from her temples: "No."

"I don't like it anymore." Perhaps he had already seen through Qi Yuan's character, but he had always been unwilling to admit it, so all his preparations were only released now.

Wen Chu raised his head: "Really?"

Gu Cheng looked at her: "Really."

Wen Chu's voice was very soft. "The first video Xingyao released of the female knight, the one at the beginning, from when I changed clothes to when filming started, was the one you told the director to film and save? Was that the one you wanted to save?"

Gu Cheng looked at her eyebrows and said, "Yes."

Wen Chu let out a sound, and her dress was blown up by the wind. She tiptoed and tilted her head to kiss the corner of his lips. Gu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he held her waist with one hand.

Wen Chu stepped back a little, her voice soft: "I won't say thank you to you, because you owe me this."

Gu Cheng's heart was not only beating violently but also chaotically, but he said, "Okay."

"I owe you."

She showed long-lost tenderness and took the initiative to approach him. As soon as she stepped away, Gu Cheng felt disappointed. At this time, the assistant came back and said, "Sister, Teacher Jiang Ran said we should have dinner..."

The word "night" got stuck in her throat. She saw this scene. Wen Chu pushed Gu Cheng away. Gu Cheng's arms were filled with her fragrance. He whispered, "What time is it? I'm still treating you to a midnight snack?"

Wen Chu turned to look at him: "Want to go eat together?"

Gu Cheng looked into her eyes and tightened his jaw: "I'm having supper with him?"

Wen Chu tilted his head: "Is it not possible?"

Gu Cheng thought of the last meal and shook his head: "No."

"Okay."

Wen Chu finished speaking and turned to walk towards the assistant. Gu Cheng grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. Wen Chu raised her eyes and asked, "What for?"

Gu Cheng whispered, "I'll take you to eat what you like."

Wen Chu said: "Jiang Ran and I made an appointment in advance."

"Mr. Gu, let go."

Gu Cheng narrowed his eyes: "Boss Gu?!"

Wen Chu raised his eyebrows slightly: "You are Feng Yue Wan's investor. If not Mr. Gu, what should you call me?"

Gu Cheng: ...

She used to occasionally call him husband, and sometimes she would call him Acheng with a smile.

"Sister." The assistant called out timidly. Wen Chu pulled her hand away this time, lifted her skirt and walked towards the assistant: "I'm coming."

Gu Cheng stood alone under the red wall, with a bright moon behind him.

A few seconds later.

He walked out of the official road.

Seeing her lift her skirt and walk towards Jiang Ran and several other actresses, the production director, who was just looking for Gu Cheng, immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gu, do you want to go for a midnight snack together?"

Gu Cheng unbuttoned his shirt with one hand.

"good."

Secretary Li was waiting nearby. When he heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He stepped forward and said, "Boss Gu, how about we just call it a day?"

Gu Cheng glanced at him.

Secretary Li lowered his head.

I was afraid you would...

Cough, jealous.

To get a late-night snack in Hengdian, you have to go outside the film and television city. There are shops outside and it is bustling with people. After Wen Chu and his friends arrived, they found a place to sit around the table.

Li Qing also saw the tall and handsome Mr. Gu. She tugged at Wen Chu's sleeve, and Wen Chu replied, "I saw it."

Jiang Ran poured tea for Wen Chu.

As if I didn’t see Gu Cheng.

This time, Gu Cheng did not sit with them. The production director arranged another table. After Gu Cheng sat down, he ordered some food and had it sent to Wen Chu's table.
