Chapter 65 Experiencing Life

-

After exiting the elevator, Zhu Ru noticed that Wen Chu's wrist was empty. She was surprised: "Where's the bracelet worth 16 million?"

Wen Chu was speechless: "Can you please not add this prefix in front?"

Zhu Ru laughed heartily. "That's its value, then. I know jade. Imperial Green is the best, but there are many types of jade, especially jadeite like this. The standards are all based on quality, water content, and transparency. Yours is truly beautiful. Even though we don't know much about it, we can tell it's high-quality. Let's study it tonight when we have time."

Wen Chu rolled his eyes: "I'm not interested, you need to research it yourself."

"I can give it to you now." She unzipped it. Zhu Ru sighed and quickly held her hand: "Don't, I can't afford to pay for it if it breaks."

Wen Chu glanced at her and smiled.

As the two were talking, they pushed open the door of the conference room and saw quite a few people coming in. The male lead this time had just been decided and he was a new actor from Hengyue.

Wen Chu shook hands with him, who was younger than her.

That’s right, this urban drama is about a relationship between an older woman and a younger man, but it focuses more on the life of the heroine.

Wen Chu just sat down.

The phone rang, and there were two WeChat messages.

One is Jiang Ran.

One is Han Fei.

The messages sent by the two were unexpectedly consistent.

Jiang Ran: Okay, let’s change the younger brother this time. I was abandoned.

Han Fei: Well, what about the brother and sister? I, as their elder brother, am jealous.

Wen Chu found it funny.

Reply to them.

To Jiang Ran: How can you be abandoned?

To Han Fei: As a brother, be more generous. He is a new actor, but you are the best actor.

Jiang Ran replied to her: You are abandoning me right now.

Han Fei said: The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front of them, and I was washed onto the beach.

Wen Chu couldn't help but laugh. She put her phone back in her bag and muted it. The new actor was called Yu Wei. He smiled and said, "Sister Chu, are you chatting with the two brothers?"

Wen Chu was surprised: "Did you read my message?"

"No, no, just asking casually." Yu Wei smiled. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Hou Zaiping: Mr. Hou, I'm with Sister Wen Chu.

Hou Zaiping: Just accompany me, read carefully, and contact me if you have any questions.

Yu Wei: Okay.

The readings took a week, as the show primarily revolves around Wen Chu, a white-collar worker struggling to make ends meet in a first-tier city. Alternatively, it could be described as focusing on the lives of ordinary people. This show was clearly aimed at awards, searching for a glimmer of beauty amidst the cold, steely world of concrete.

So the role of Wen Chu is very important.

At the end of the reading.

The director sat down next to Wen Chu and asked, "This is Mr. Wen's first modern drama, right?"

Wen Chu nodded.

The director smiled and said, "Knowing your upbringing, I think to make this drama well, you need to experience life first."

Wen Chu said: "I think so too."

"So this drama is being filmed in Haicheng. Teacher Wen needs to first work at a company in Haicheng for half a month, as a white-collar worker. What do you think, Teacher Wen?"

Wen Chu nodded: "No problem."

"Okay, then please help Teacher Wen prepare it." The director said with satisfaction. Wen Chu responded and packed up the scripts. Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi came in to help her.

Yu Wei's agent is also discussing with him about experiencing life.

It seemed like Wen Chu wasn't the only one in the crew who needed to experience this. Everyone else wanted to experience it, too. Wen Chu and Zhu Ruxiaozhi went out and downstairs. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Li Qian standing there with a brocade box in his hands.

The scene was just like the last time he gave me the bracelet.

Zhu Ru pulled Wen Chu and talked about the imperial green bracelet. Wen Chu bought a brocade box and put it in the hotel safe. He hadn't worn it in the past few days.

Li Qian saw Wen Chu coming out, walked up to her with a smile and said, "Miss Wen, are you done with your work?"

Wen Chu looked at Li Qian: "Secretary Li, is there anything else?"

Li Qian glanced at her wrist and said with a smile, "Yes."

He held the brocade box forward and said, "Miss Wen, Mr. Gu saw that you weren't wearing the imperial green bracelet before, and he was still worried, so he asked me to send this one over. He said it's not expensive and shouldn't be a burden to you..."

As he spoke, he opened the brocade box.

Inside was a red maple bracelet.

Very beautiful too.

Xiaozhi screamed, and Wen Chu glanced at her. Xiaozhi had gone to work yesterday, so she lowered her head and took a step back.

Wen Chu recognized the bracelet.

It was the one she had worn before. When she received the bracelet, she really liked it. As for the price, she didn't know and didn't ask. Zhu Ru approached Wen Chu and said, "Shuitou looks very good. This one...is not cheap either."

Wen Chu didn't respond.

She hooked a necklace from her neck with her fingertips and showed it to Li Qian. She said, "Tell your Mr. Gu that I'm wearing jade."

Li Qian took a look and breathed a sigh of relief: "Just wear it."

Wen Chu said; "Thank you."

She knew Gu Cheng wasn't superstitious, but because of those few words, he tried every possible means to get her to wear it. And since the year was already halfway through, Wen Chu didn't think it was a big deal.

But in order not to worry her mother, she still found time to go back to the apartment and took the warm jade to wear.

Li Qian was stunned by the thank you. He quickly smiled and said, "You're welcome, Miss Wen. This is what I should do..."

Wen Chu smiled and did not respond to Li Qian's words. He took Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi down the stairs. Just then, the nanny car drove up and the three of them got in.

Li Qian watched the car drive away.

He sent a message to Gu Cheng.

Li Qian: Miss Wen is wearing a warm jade necklace around her neck.

Gu Cheng was still in Haicheng at this time. He was in the law firm. He looked at the message and found that he had seen this warm jade before. When they were doing it, he had bitten her necklace. This necklace was a gift from her family.

He replied to Li Qian: I understand.

Li Qian was a little excited. He was like a man who had finally arrived after a long march of 25,000 kilometers. He quickly sent a message to Gu Cheng: Mr. Gu, Miss Wen seems to have softened. She said thank you to me.

Gu Cheng was lighting a cigarette over there.

Seeing this reply, he paused.

He asked: Did I thank you?

Li Qian: Yes.

Gu Cheng: Aren’t you following me?

Li Qian: ...

No way?

You should follow me.

wrong.

What is he competing with Mr. Gu for...

If she was thanking Mr. Gu, that would be great. It would mean Miss Wen has softened.

Gu Cheng: Yes, with me.

Li Qian: ...Yes, with you.

-

Back at the hotel, Wen Chude packed his luggage.

Zhu Ru asked someone from the bank to come over and put the valuable bracelet into the bank's safe. Wen Chu's apartment was not suitable for storing the bracelet.

Qimeng is even less suitable. Wen Chu will be flying everywhere next time, so it is not appropriate to take it with him.

He put it on in bed.

Wen Chu planned to return it to him in bed next time, but since she hadn't found the right opportunity, she decided to entrust it to the bank for safekeeping.

Finished these.

Xiaozhi went out to buy some food and brought it back to Wen Chu. Xiaozhi leaned over and asked, "Sister, that red maple bracelet...it's so beautiful, don't you really want it?"

Wen Chu smiled at her: "You want me to ask him to send it to you?"

Xiaozhi quickly shook his head.

She sat on the single sofa and sighed: "It would be great if lovers could get married."

Zhu Ru knocked her head: "What are you talking about?"

"I think you've completely betrayed me..."

Xiaozhi coughed and said, "I just think Mr. Gu is really good to Chujie..."

Zhu Ru covered her mouth to stop her from speaking.

Wen Chu showed no expression. No one knew better than her that the man's gentleness and methods could easily confuse all women.

Xiaozhi has been in contact with him for more than a year, and it's normal that she can't get over every word and every consideration he has shown.

Zhu Ru sent Xiaozhi to tidy up Wen Chu's dressing table.

Then she sat down next to Wen Chu and whispered, "Fortunately, Xiaozhi didn't fall in love with Mr. Gu."

Wen Chu smiled as he put away the script and said, "If they fall in love, that's normal, so let them be together."

Zhu Ru: “…”

No, are you so generous?

Zhu Ru was shocked.

She thought about it.

I picked up my phone and looked for the work number I had added before.

She said: Mr. Gu, Wen Chu said that if Xiaozhi falls in love with you, you two can be together. Otherwise, why don’t you try hard to let Xiaozhi continue to contact you and then fall in love with you?

Gu Cheng was drinking with his mother over there.

Seeing this message, the wine in his mouth suddenly became bitter, and he sneered.

He found Xiaozhi's WeChat ID.

Deleted.

Then take a screenshot and send it to Wen Chu.

Wen Chu frowned: What?

Gu Cheng: I have deleted Xiaozhi’s WeChat and will no longer get any information about you from her.

Wen Chu: You are too slow in deleting it. She deleted you a long time ago.

Gu Cheng: ...

Rarely send messages.

Gu Cheng sent another message: Li Qian said you were wearing jade.

Wen Chu: Yeah.

Gu Cheng: Let me see?

Wen Chu: Dreaming.

Gu Cheng: ...Okay, I saw you in my dream, and I know what shape the jade is.

Wen Chu:......

She heard the rascality in his words.

She ignored him and put down her phone.

Zhu Ru was also contacting the hotel in Haicheng and the company she was going to. Wen Chu played the heroine who was a planner in an advertising company.

There are many companies of this type in Haicheng, ranging from high-end to simple information companies.

The company that Wen Chu experienced was of the same level as the character he played, and was a middle-of-the-road company in the industry.

Wen Chu searched for the company and learned more about it.

We flew to Haicheng the next day.

After putting his luggage in the hotel, Wen Chu went to the company to meet their director. Xiaozhi and Zhu Ru followed him. Wen Chu wore sunglasses and walked into the lobby with them.

Someone came down to pick me up and took the elevator on the side.

Just past the front desk.

Over there, Gu Cheng and his mother walked out of the elevator. He smelled a familiar fragrance and saw a group of people. His eyes fixed on them. Yu Xinzhi, the wife of the Gu family, saw her son's gaze and asked, "Who is that?"

Gu Cheng watched Wen Chu disappear around the corner, then he looked away and said, "She."

Yu Xinzhi was surprised: "I thought you would hide it from me, so you admit it now?"

Gu Cheng took out his car keys and walked out with his mother, saying, "I never thought of hiding it from anyone."

Yu Xinzhi smiled and said, "It's just right that she's here during this period, so you don't have to worry about her in Beijing all the time."

Gu Cheng was indeed a little surprised.

He remembered that she had several scripts in her hands, and it seemed that she chose the urban drama.

"Wow...isn't this the president of Gu Group?"

"It's him, it's him."

"Oh my god, I'm even more handsome in person than in the photo."

"Does he know Chuchu is also in Haicheng?"

Several fans at the door were talking cautiously. Gu Cheng glanced over and saw that they were covering their faces with fans. Gu Cheng saw the Q version of Wen Chu's face painted on their fans.

He looked indifferent.

Yu Xinzhi smiled curiously and asked, "Is this her fan?"

Gu Cheng nodded.

He was tall and slender. He walked out of the door with his mother and headed towards the car over there.

One fan boldly shouted at him, "Mr. Gu."

Yu Xinzhi's eyes were full of interest, and Gu Cheng held the car door and looked over.

Seeing him stop, the fan became bolder. She clasped her hands and asked, "Are you really pursuing Chuchu? Will you marry her?"

Gu Cheng: “Yes.”

One word, they screamed.

Gu Cheng gestured to his mother.

Yu Xinzhi got into the car with a smile. After Gu Cheng settled his mother, he got into the driver's seat and started the car.

After driving out.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to Wen Chu: I saw you enter the Lehman Building.

Wen Chu had just met with the director and her phone was in her bag, so she didn't see the message. She only saw it after she finished talking with the director and walked out.

She paused.

No reply yet.

Zhu Ru came closer to her and showed her the video.

In the video, the fan just asked Gu Cheng the same question.

In the camera, he has handsome features, tall stature, and wears a loose black shirt. His decisive word "yes" draws screams from a bunch of fans.

Zhu Ru: "Mr. Gu is in Haicheng right now, and he just appeared in this building. Did you pass by him?"

Wen Chu remembered.

Gu's law firm seems to be nearby, so it's normal to run into him.

This video was posted on Weibo by fans.

The fans are now even more crazy.

"Chu Chu is going to marry into a wealthy family."

"Ahhhh, he's really direct."

“How’s the real thing better than the video?”

"Handsome! He's really handsome in person, and looks noble."

"Wow, I want to see the real person too."

Wen Chu didn't care about these videos. She and Zhu Ru went back to the hotel, packed up, and moved to an old and dilapidated house nearby, just to experience life.

Other actors in the crew also arrived one after another. Some lived near Wen Chu, and some lived farther away.

The director specifically asked people to record videos of them experiencing life.

night.

Wen Chu just sat down.

Someone delivered food to the door. When Wen Chu saw it, she knew it was ordered by Gu Cheng. She sent him a message saying: I am experiencing life, you don’t have to order anything for me.

Gu Cheng: OK.

Gu Cheng: When can we get out of this state?

Wen Chu: I don’t know when, I’ll call you, just come again.

Gu Cheng: OK.

Wen Chu deliberately didn't tell him the time.

The next day, Wen Chu officially went to work, with cameras following her. Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi were not allowed to follow. Wen Chu had been a stunt double since her freshman year, and for almost four years until her senior year, she lived in the school dorms. Later, she fell in love with Gu Cheng, and they soon moved in together, even having a driver whenever they went out.

Or call a taxi.

But for ordinary white-collar workers, buses, subways and bicycles are their main means of transportation, so Wen Chu took the subway with her bag and wearing high heels.

Because there are cameras following.

Everyone who saw Wen Chu on the subway was startled, but no one came forward to disturb him. They just raised their phones silently.

But most of the time, people at work wouldn't care whether she was a celebrity or not, they would just squeeze in anyway, and some men would even secretly take advantage of her. Wen Chu closed her eyes, took out a pen from her bag, and poked the other person's hand.

The other party retracted it in a flash.

Wen Chu finally felt a little more comfortable, and the cameraman raised his camera to record the scene.

Fortunately, Wen Chu took action himself.

Otherwise the guy would be very anxious.

Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi sent messages to Wen Chu.

Zhu Ru: I have been following you for more than two years. I am not used to not following you today.

Xiaozhi: Sister, please be careful.

Wen Chu didn’t have time to reply.

The subway was crowded, and she finally arrived. After taking a breath, she rushed to the company. As soon as she stepped into the building, Wen Chu looked up and saw Gu Cheng. He was leaning against the front desk as if waiting for her.

Their eyes met, and Wen Chu hurried towards the elevator.

Gu Cheng blocked her way, holding a cup of coffee. His collar was slightly open, and he looked at her: "It's not convenient to work in high heels. I'll have someone send you a pair of shoes later."

Wen Chu subconsciously glanced at her high heels.

No wonder he was staggering in the subway.

She said, "I asked Zhu Ru to deliver it to me."

"Coffee." Gu Cheng didn't argue with her and handed the coffee to her.

Wen Chu didn't refuse this time. She was thirsty, so she reached out and took it, then walked towards the elevator.

Gu Cheng turned around to look at her back.

Yu Xinzhi came up to him and said, "It's rare that you got up so early just for her?"

Gu Cheng did not respond.

He walked to the elevator on the other side, took out his cell phone, and sent a message to the director of the show, asking: How long do you want to experience life?

The director saw his number.

Gu's also invested in this drama, and he also knew about the current scandal between Wen Chu and the president of Gu Group. He quickly replied: Half a month, Mr. Gu, not much.

Gu Cheng: She has never suffered this kind of hardship before, you guys just watch her.

directed by.

Gu Cheng put away his phone.

But then I realized that she was actually very hard-working, so this hardship should not be a big deal to her.

But even so.

He should take better care of her.
