Before Su Zhihan could react, Gu Lingyang had already straightened up.
But Su Zhihan was certain that she must have heard a gasping sound.
Following the sound, Su Zhihan saw the two female employees who were gossiping about her behind her back.
She raised an eyebrow and gently tugged at Gu Lingyang's sleeve.
Gu Lingyang was about to cut the cake for Su Zhihan when he glanced down at her little gesture. When he looked back at her, his gaze was focused and affectionate, giving the illusion that Gu Lingyang was looking at his beloved.
Su Zhihan also had this misconception.
Is it because she hasn't gotten out of character yet?
Gu Lingyang smiled slightly, looking at the few stray hairs sticking up on Su Zhihan's head, and reached out to press them down.
"What, do you have something to say?"
Su Zhihan handed him the recorder and whispered a complaint: "Someone is talking badly about me, Teacher Gu. You're the one who brought me into this industry. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"
Gu Lingyang took the recorder and pressed the play button.
The timing was perfect; no one expected that everyone would suddenly fall silent, as if by prior arrangement.
As a result, the voices of the two women from the recording pen were clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, including the director.
Gu Lingyang's gaze darkened as he looked around at the staff members inside.
The director was particularly sensitive to people's voices. He looked at the two people and said, "Whoever said that, step forward. Don't make me drag people out."
The director is not without a temper; on the contrary, he has a very bad temper.
When he's not angry, he's a nice guy, but once he gets angry, it's hard to control the situation.
The two staff members stood up nervously, some on the verge of tears.
At the same time, they looked at Su Zhihan with eyes full of anger and resentment.
Su Zhihan lazily met their gazes, and even raised her eyebrows smugly, adding fuel to the fire, and mouthed silently, "You're all dead!"
Gu Lingyang said calmly, "I didn't expect you two to have such a big problem with me?"
The fact that the people he recommended and the people he brought along had such strong opinions about him means they had opinions about him.
"Besides, I was willing to be used, so what? Some people want to be used, but they can't."
Gu Lingyang's words were clearly intended to support Su Zhihan.
The director asked, "Ling Yang, what do you think we should do?"
Gu Lingyang's voice was still soft and gentle, but it carried a murderous aura.
"The production crew doesn't need employees like that. The atmosphere on set is very important. Only in a harmonious and loving environment can everyone focus on acting and doing their work without distractions. Otherwise, everyone will be on edge, not knowing which staff member might be dissatisfied with them and then deliberately leak information to reporters or distort the truth, which would be terrible."
"Teacher Gu, we have no such intention, and we will not disclose any information that should not be disclosed to the outside world."
"By the time that day comes, it will be too late. Fire him."
"No, Teacher Gu, we were wrong, we were wrong."
The director waved his hand, signaling the security guards to pull the two men away.
Everyone noticed a subtle change in Su Zhihan's expression, but Su Zhihan didn't seem to care.
She took a piece of cake and handed it to Gu Lingyang: "Thank you for standing up for me, Teacher Gu."
Gu Lingyang looked at her: "Will you still act in the future?"
"Acting. After playing the role of Xiao Jun, I realized that I really love acting, it's like it's in my bones, I was born with it. So, I guess I've officially entered the entertainment industry now?"
"Yes. Since I brought you into this industry, just mention my name from now on, and no one will dare to bully you. This industry is very complex, and since I brought you in, I will naturally protect you."
Su Zhihan's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, never closing.
"Teacher Gu, you're so kind! Waaah, you're like my own father, I love you so much, Teacher Gu."
Everyone else laughed when they heard this.
Gu Lingyang was indeed like a father to Su Zhihan, worrying about everything, big or small.
He, who always kept a proper distance from the opposite sex, got very close to Su Zhihan and was not afraid of the rumors at all.
Everyone's gotten used to it by now.
This isn't the first time Su Zhihan has jokingly called Gu Lingyang her biological father.
Gu Lingyang's face darkened.
He snatched the hem of his shirt from Su Zhihan's hand and shoved the cake she had handed him back into her hand.
"Eat slowly by yourself."
"What's wrong with you now? Is your period here? Humph!" Gu Lingyang almost stumbled upon hearing this.
Su Zhihan left after filming wrapped and did not stay with the crew any longer.
Having not been home for a long time, she went straight to her parents' house.
Su Zhihan's lips were always turned up.
Her previous feelings of disappointment vanished instantly.
Actually, my acting career hasn't been very smooth, and the industry is quite complicated.
But Gu Lingyang said he would stand up for her. Although she didn't necessarily need his support, she felt warm and sweet inside.
It felt like having a powerful backer.
With a powerful backer, she was no longer afraid.
When I got home, both my parents were there.
I also cooked a big table of delicious food for her.
During this time, Su Zhihan dared not eat much every day because she was afraid that if she gained even an ounce of weight, she would not look good on camera.
Seeing a table full of delicious food, his eyes lit up and he immediately sat down at the table.
"Dad, Mom, what day is it today? There's so much delicious food."
"It's not a big day, it's just the big day that our daughter is back. Isn't this a big day? Once you've finished filming this movie and had your fill of fun, that's enough. Don't film anymore, okay? Honey? You've lost weight."
Su's mother touched Su Zhihan's face tenderly: "Your face has almost lost all its baby fat."
Su Zhihan was immediately delighted upon hearing this. She touched her face and said, "Really? Is it gone? I need to go see. Do I have more defined features? Have I become more beautiful?"
She excitedly went to the mirror and looked at herself, but her face immediately fell: "What! My face hasn't gotten thinner! I hate it, why does my face always get fatter first when I gain weight?"
She decided to channel her grief into her appetite.
After finishing her meal, Su Zhihan patted her round belly and lay down in a relaxed position.
Su's mother came over and pushed her away with disdain: "Sit a little further over. As a girl, can't you be a little more ladylike? What do you look like with your legs spread wide like that? All those etiquette lessons I gave you before were for nothing."
"How could that be? Of course it wasn't a waste of time. I still remember all those movements."
After Su Zhihan finished speaking, she sat up straight with perfect poise.
However, this composure only lasted a few seconds before collapsing again.
She turned on the TV and pressed the remote to select a channel.
Gu Lingyang's agent, Huang Jiafei, called at this time.
Su Zhihan immediately answered the call and respectfully greeted, "Sister Huang."
"Little girl, there's an audition I think would be perfect for you. Come audition tomorrow, are you interested?"
