The system prompt sounded, and Ye Rong blinked. It was really as Minister Liang said, lighting up Gu Weisheng's favorability light ball was very simple. Although the current favorability was negative, this task was indeed accomplished.

In other words, her survival time has now gone from three days to three months.

Life was extended, and Ye Rong was very happy with the 5 newly acquired supply coins. 5 supply coins were not many, but lottery tickets were hard to come by. Who knows, maybe she could win something good. She had to tell everyone in NSI about the good news as soon as possible.

Ye Rong was ready to run away. After all, at this moment she really didn't know how to explain the "little episode" to Gu Weisheng. However, because of this, Gu Weisheng had a "deeper impression" of her, and she and Gu Weisheng had an "intersection", successfully completing the first task of the system.

"My friend is still waiting for me. Bye."

Ye Rong was about to run away, but Gu Weisheng approached, and she was stunned by the warm woody fragrance with the cool smell of amber. Ye Rong suddenly remembered the complaints of her readers - the male supporting roles were all really stunning, but the male lead lived like a passerby.

Well... although I haven’t seen what the male lead looks like, Gu Weisheng is indeed good-looking.

Unfortunately, he is an emotionless villain.

Gu Weisheng stopped one step away from her. He looked at Ye Rong, whose cheeks were slightly flushed due to the alcohol and whose eyes were shining with water, and who suddenly became distracted: "I am Gu Weisheng, Miss Ye."

"..." Ye Rong blinked. I know.

But she didn't say anything, just nodded to show that she understood.

The little episode just now seemed to have happened nothing. Gu Weisheng did not ask her how she knew him, and Ye Rong did not bring it up tactlessly. Everyone was happy.

After separating from Gu Weisheng, Ye Rong saw Bai Xiao not far away looking for her, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Teacher Bai Xiao."

Bai turned around and saw her, his expression relaxed a little. He had brought the person here, so he naturally had to take her away: "I was just gone for a while and you disappeared."

Ye Rong explained: "I just said hello to someone I know."

Someone you know?

Bai Yu was a little surprised. He was not too fussy about other people's private affairs because of his upbringing. He nodded slightly and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to meet some friends." This might be the reason why the director asked him to take her to this cocktail party. However, he didn't dislike Ye Rong and even liked her. It was a piece of cake to introduce her.

Ye Rong was slightly surprised, and suddenly understood something, but she really had no intention of developing in the entertainment industry. She just wanted to get rid of the system and live a good life.

She couldn't say that she was a newcomer who wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

However, there's nothing wrong with meeting her. Refusing her would seem deliberate.

Soon, Ye Rong met those friends of Bai Yu.

She recognized one of them. He was also in the file Sister Lin gave her—Gu Zhi. Gu Weisheng's half-brother, a few months younger than Gu Weisheng, had risen from an illegitimate child to the heir of the Gu family in one step.

"Bai Yu, the newcomer you said you were bringing is her, right?" Gu Zhi also saw Ye Rong at a glance, and after being amazed, he looked at her blatantly, "This is the first time I see you bringing an artist from the circle here."

Bai Yu didn't expect that Gu Zhi was there too. He didn't like this person's style of doing things. They were in the same circle and they met each other every day. He was also a person brought by his good friend, so it was normal to see him on weekdays, but it didn't mean that he considered Gu Zhi as a friend.

This person has a chaotic private life, and he hunts for beauties with a playful mind. He has never stopped having scandals with female stars. However, after all, it was the station director who spoke up for Ye Rong, so unlike others, he reminded her: "My friend Ye Rong, take her to meet some people."

"Friends~" Gu Zhi smiled playfully and didn't take it seriously.

When the others heard that it was a friend, they knew what it meant. Although they were interested in Ye Rong, they stopped thinking about it and greeted Ye Rong one after another.

After sitting down, Ye Rong did not actively participate in their conversation, but began to enjoy her dinner leisurely. She was also a little hungry.

Bo Yi is a very careful and thoughtful person, and would take the initiative to get her food out of courtesy.

Finally, Ye Rong ate the dessert.

It's not that she couldn't join in their conversation, but she was simply not interested. Wouldn't it be nice to just be a quiet little girl and enjoy delicious food?

Soon they talked about what interested her.

"Ah Zhi, I heard your brother came over recently?" Someone was curious, "It's been almost ten years since we last saw each other."

"The old man said he's coming, so let him come." Gu Zhi said nonchalantly, "I specially asked the butler to send him an invitation letter, but I don't know if he received it."

"...I say you are such a mean person." Someone laughed, "You can't really attend this kind of cocktail party in a wheelchair. After all, you were once the proud son of heaven, Young Master Gu. The girls in school were all his crazy fans, and the boys in school were so jealous. Who would have thought that the proud son of heaven would fall to this point overnight..."

"Speaking of this, that incident back then was probably caused by his fanatical fans... I remember that Ah Zhi and Master Gu were in the same school at the time, and Ah Zhi probably knew more than us."

Gu Zhi sneered: "I never care about his affairs."

Sensing the change in atmosphere, someone changed the subject: "But seriously, Azhi, do you think he will come?"

Gu Zhi said nonchalantly: "It would be great if he could come. I also want to meet this brother."

Ye Rong: “…”

Not only is your brother here, but you're about to get into trouble.

I really didn't expect that it would be so strange for Gu Weisheng to come to this cocktail party. Isn't it good to be alive? Why did he think of provoking the devil? However, according to the plot, it seems that even if he doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, he will be in trouble.

The book only briefly mentioned what happened back then, and only mentioned that Gu Weisheng was sent away because of Gu Zhi. As for what exactly happened back then, perhaps only the parties involved knew.

However, based on the existing information, Ye Rong guessed that the plot in the book might have just begun, or it might not have started yet.

In fact, Ye Rong didn't finish reading the book on the plane, but it didn't matter much. Because the country was behind her, Ye Rong was not worried about her mission at all.

[Ye Rong, Gu Weisheng is not in a good condition. Go to the lounge and check the situation.]

Ye Rong was a little surprised when she received the instruction from the headset. She stood up without hesitation and whispered to Bai Yu: "I'm going to the bathroom."
