Chapter 53

When Gu Zhun got up this morning, he received a message from Chen Shiman, saying that she could help him take care of Xu Wei temporarily, but only for two days at most.

These two days have been great, and Gu Zhun couldn't ask for more.

That day, when Gu Zhun went out, Chen Shiman happened to come to his house. The two met, and in order not to delay his work, Gu Zhun did not bother him anymore.

When they arrived at the set, Gu Zhun was sitting under the shed. Liu Weiwei was wearing sunglasses, with a bag tucked under her arm and something in her hand. She walked gracefully and seemed to be in a very good mood.

"What? Are you getting married?" Gu Zhun teased. Liu Weiwei had a boyfriend of many years, a well-behaved Beta. Gu Zhun's impression of him remained the same as Liu Weiwei had described him: an honest and loyal man. His abilities weren't particularly outstanding, but he wholeheartedly supported her career and took care of the family, leaving her with no worries.

Liu Weiwei gently hit Gu Zhun, looking a little shy: "What are you talking about? Let me show you something. You kid, I don't know if you are being kept by a rich woman, but you suddenly got a role from a very famous web drama director. It's really true."

Gu Zhun was a little confused when he heard it. He took the script handed to him by Liu Weiwei and took a look. It was indeed a script for a TV series directed by a new star who has become very popular in the past year.

Gu Zhun: “? This is…” Gu Zhun felt his tongue was tied and he couldn’t speak at all.

Liu Weiwei said, "I saw it in my email this morning. It's about a male second from a popular idol show. Do you like it?" Seeing Gu Zhun put down his fan and began flipping through the script, Liu Weiwei said, "I just wrote this bit. If you like it, we can meet up. I took a quick look, and the plot is pretty cliché. The only bright spot is that the male second doesn't like the female lead and is focused on his career. Is that a supporting role? His character is quite likable. This is based on a novel, and the male second is very popular, so there are pros and cons. If you act in it, you'll probably be prepared to be scolded."

After saying that, Liu Weiwei turned on the small fan and blew it towards Gu Zhun, and then she didn't say anything else. This nearly half-hour break was enough for Gu Zhun to get a general idea and make a decision.

Half an hour later, Gu Zhun closed the book and said, "Act."

"Sure?"

"The script is quite good. I like the characters after seeing them. As long as no one adds to the drama, it will be a little difficult for the show to become a hit, but it can be a small hit." Gu Zhun's evaluation was very pertinent. The characterization of the second male lead in this drama is indeed very good.

He is the male lead's good brother, grew up with him, and is the security guard of the male and female protagonists' love. The most important thing is that he has no emotional line and lives his life just for money.

"By the way, why do you say that I'm being kept by a rich woman? It's obvious that I'm capable, okay?" Gu Zhun argued in a low voice, quite narcissistic.

Liu Weiwei rolled her eyes. "Think carefully about a script like this. With your lack of acting skills, who would be willing to give it to you besides those wealthy female fans? And don't blame me for being harsh. Maybe one of the wealthy women above you has taken a liking to you and wants to promote you to a higher position and exploit you."

Gu Zhun was not angry when he heard Liu Weiwei say this.

He knew the other party was just joking and saying that he was lucky.

So Gu Zhun also agreed: "Isn't it? You don't know, when I was a child, the fortune teller said that I was destined to be kept by a rich woman. Here's my advice to you, quickly hold on to my thighs and wait for ascension!"

Gu Zhun rolled his eyes and proposed a very likely guess, "Do you think it's possible that the child or sister of a company boss is a fan of me? I think this is more reliable."

Liu Weiwei hit Gu Zhun several times, neither too hard nor too lightly. "Then you really have to show off a little." Then she said seriously, "Are you really ready to transform?"

Until now, neither of them has discussed this matter seriously.

Obviously both parties knew that it was a matter of time, but most of the time they chose to ignore it. It was not until the last time that Gu Zhun took the initiative to bring it up that Liu Weiwei had to start taking the initiative to get him the role.

"It's not about being serious or not. When you get older, you should naturally seek other ways to make a living. You know that. Well, I still love acting. Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun acting these past two days. As for whether my acting is good or not, I won't comment on it myself. You'll know after the show airs."

Gu Zhun does not have a good talent for acting, and he himself has discovered this in the past two days. Perhaps it is the difference between being an idol and an actor. The idol can't help but always look for the camera, so he is always criticized by the director.

After the play was finished, he decided to sign up for a refresher course.

"Alright, Teacher Gu, get ready! Come on, all departments, get ready!"

The director in the distance was holding a walkie-talkie and wearing a sun hat. The sun was scorching under his head, and his white short-sleeved shirt was soaked with sweat. The fat inside could be seen faintly, shaking violently with his movements.

"Here I come!" Gu Zhun quickly put an ice cube in his mouth, turned around, said a few words to Liu Weiwei, and left.

At the end of July, City A had entered its hottest period. Under the 38-degree sun, the suitor played by Gu Zhun stood under the shade of a tree, dressed in a suit and holding a bouquet of bright red roses.

It was not until the midday sun slowly set that this shot, which had been NG'd many times, finally ended.

Gu Zhun hammered his legs and stood there for a long time until he came to his senses before leaving and going to the nanny car.

"Wipe your sweat off. Is your leg okay?" Liu Weiwei felt a little distressed because the male lead was unable to get into the role, which resulted in Gu Zhun standing under the scorching sun for a long time.

Speaking of which, the male protagonist is not that famous. If he were in their idol circle, he would have to respectfully call him Teacher Gu Zhun.

The male lead's scenes had not been filmed for the past two days. I heard that it was due to a work conflict. At that time, Liu Weiwei thought he was a man with great acting skills; now it seems that may not be the case.

Gu Zhun took a breath and said, "I'm so tired, I'm going to call it a day!"

He couldn't wait to get off work.

Liu Weiwei closed the door and told the driver to drive, "It's live broadcast this month, just worry about it, okay?"

"How about this," Gu Zhun patted his thigh, "Let's do it tonight."

"Tonight? I haven't prepared anything yet."

"Whatever I prepare, I will broadcast it at home. It doesn't matter what I broadcast."

Liu Weiwei smacked her lips, "You always... catch us off guard."

"I'm not going to say anything explosive, so why should you worry?" Gu Zhun retorted. He was a tight-lipped person, so of course he knew what he should and shouldn't say.

"Then do you need an assistant to help you?" Liu Weiwei asked.

Gu Zhun's mind flickered for a moment, and he said nonchalantly, "No need, I can do it alone."

Gu Zhun's tone was indescribably awkward.

Liu Weiwei was stunned for a moment, not realizing anything. She just felt strange. "Forget it. Xiao Jiang should stop giving him trouble after work. Same with Shi Man. Let him have a good rest. How about this, I'll go. I'm familiar with your certificate."

After Liu Weiwei finished speaking, she still felt that her idea was too perfect. She was considerate of her subordinates and could handle these things perfectly. She secretly clenched her fist.

Gu Zhun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked dryly: "Sister Weiwei, do you have nothing to do tonight?"

He wanted Chen Shiman to come to his house and live broadcast with him, which would be more open and aboveboard.

"No, your matter is the most important now." Liu Weiwei was worried about Gu Zhun's transformation, and now she wanted to take care of everything herself.

Gu Zhun curled his lips, "Really? I didn't realize you cared so much about it before." Gu Zhun teased.

Liu Weiwei sneered, holding her head high and chest puffed out with pride, "Alright, alright, haven't I been working very hard?"

After that, Gu Zhun didn't say anything else. Instead, he closed his eyes and thought about how to turn the topic to Chen Shiman.

"Okay, so what are you going to say to your fans tonight?" Liu Weiwei prepared to sound out Gu Zhun's opinion first.

"Just chatting." Gu Zhun replied.

Liu Weiwei: “…”

"By the way, Sister Weiwei, Xu Wei will be there tonight too."

Liu Weiwei shuddered, "Why didn't I hear you say that before? You still have to take care of the children when you go back. Are you going to rest well?"

"Forget it, I'll leave you alone. You will definitely not let yourself get tired..." Liu Weiwei thought for a while and stopped talking, "Oh, I haven't seen that child yet. I just happen to go and see him today. Should I buy some gifts?" Liu Weiwei looked extremely excited, although Gu Zhun didn't understand what she was excited about.

"Buy a cake, the little girl loves it." Gu Zhun suggested.

"Okay." Liu Weiwei was delighted.

When they arrived at Gu Zhun's house, Liu Weiwei came out in high heels, holding a cake. She glanced into the car and found that Gu Zhun was still asleep, so she gently patted his shoulder and said, "Wake up."

During this period, Gu Zhun made a lot of preparations for the transformation. The results were not very good, but it was much better than doing nothing.

Liu Weiwei has always supported Gu Zhun. As long as Gu Zhun can continue to work, she will be his strongest backing.

Gu Zhun opened his eyes in a daze, saw Liu Weiwei's bright and charming face, and heard the buzzing sound of the underground parking lot. The scene gradually became clearer, and he swallowed several times before the dryness in Gu Zhun's throat was relieved.

"Oh well."

Gu Zhun got out of the car, and just as his feet touched the ground, he remembered that Chen Shiman should still be at his house. Gu Zhun glanced at Liu Weiwei, who was holding her head high, with a smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and she looked very expectant.

"Do you think I'm fierce now? This job has made a young girl like me look so haggard." Liu Weiwei touched her face, her brows unconsciously wrinkled, like a scattered hand-pulled pancake, wrinkled.

Gu Zhun replied: "You are always kind, okay?"

"Smooth talk."

bite--

The elevator has arrived.

Gu Zhun and Liu Weiwei got on the elevator, and he hadn't told Liu Weiwei yet that Chen Shiman was there.

The elevator went up to the 10th floor——

Gu Zhun was thinking, I should talk to Liu Weiwei about it.

To the 13th floor——

Gu Zhun spoke:

"Someone's home."

Liu Weiwei turned to look at him:?

"Do you have someone?" Liu Weiwei's keen insight made her ask immediately. She tensed her calves and gave Gu Zhun a neutral look. "Speak."

"No—" Gu Zhun defended, "Today Xu Wei said he wanted to play with Chen Shiman, so I let him come."

What Gu Zhun said was true. Xu Wei really liked Chen Shiman and wanted to play with him. As for the deeper meaning behind this, it was not convenient to tell Liu Weiwei.

Liu Weiwei's shoulders relaxed instantly, and she laughed dryly, "I thought you were hiding the little omega. Chen Shiman—when did he and Xu Wei become so close?"

Liu Weiwei quietly glanced at the height of the elevator and quickly reviewed what had happened recently in her mind, but until the elevator arrived, she did not hear Gu Zhun's explanation.

"Sister Weiwei, let's go."

Gu Zhun said.
