Wen Yi really didn't know how to smooth things over, and her mind was in a mess.
But when she glanced at the man standing in front of her, she caught the mocking look in his eyes and immediately felt annoyed.
This man is clearly just watching the show.
Suppressing his guilt, Wen Yi directly retorted, "You can come and collect my body later."
"I thought the first thing you'd say, Madam, would be, 'I'm so glad you've finally arrived. You must be terrified.'"
"You said that I am your wife and you have a responsibility to take care of me. If I am in danger, you should come to my rescue. Isn't that what you should do?"
Gu Huaixu was genuinely amused by Wen Yi's words.
The main issue is that Wen Yiming spoke with an air of righteous indignation, but her eyes darted around slightly, clearly indicating that she was putting on a brave face.
My older sister is really cute.
Gu Huaixu stepped forward and put his hand on Wen Yi's shoulder. "Madam is right. It was my fault. I was late. I accept the punishment."
What punishment will you receive?
"I was just saying, will Madam really punish me?" Gu Huaixu looked down at Wen Yi, a smile on his lips.
It was at this point that I realized Wen Yi was really short.
It came down to his shoulder just right. He put his hand on Wen Yi's shoulder at the perfect angle and pulled him into his arms.
"Who said it was just talk? You admitted to the punishment yourself, and now you're going back on your word?" Wen Yi frowned, very dissatisfied with Master Gu's inconsistent behavior.
"Second Master, where is your authority?"
“Here it is.” Gu Huaixu lowered his head and whispered in Wen Yi’s ear, “Since it’s a punishment, Madam can punish you however she wants. Anyway, you are Madam, you are the boss.”
"Then thank you, Second Master." Wen smiled. "However, I haven't thought of that yet. Consider this a debt I owe you."
"So this is where you were waiting for me."
"Let me clarify first, it was Second Master himself who said he wanted to punish himself, it wasn't my request," Wen Yi corrected herself, "otherwise Second Master will think I have ulterior motives."
"Yes, yes, Madam is right. It was my own choice. I felt that I was late and had made Madam worry, so I had to be punished by Madam before I could go."
As Gu Huaixu spoke, he put his arm around Wen Yi and led her toward the car.
He opened the passenger door and let Wen Yi get in.
By the time Wen Yi fastened her seatbelt, Gu Huaixu was already seated in the driver's seat.
"Take me to the film set."
Gu Huaixu asked in confusion, "It's already this late, why are you still going to the film set?"
"I just sent a message to the production team and told them to go to their own meeting. I'll be there later," Wen Yi said.
Regardless, this matter must be dealt with today.
Gu Huaixu nodded without saying anything more and drove Wen Yi to the film set.
As for the aftermath of today's events, Wen Yi didn't ask any further questions, and Gu Huaixu didn't say anything either; the two of them tacitly agreed not to bring it up again.
Wen Yi didn't say anything because of Lin Na's matter. Wen Yi had already taken action during the live broadcast that day, retaliating in kind.
As for today, since Second Master Gu has intervened, Wen Yi is unwilling to get involved.
The car arrived at the film set.
"Thank you," Wen Yi said, and prepared to get out of the car.
Gu Huaixu suddenly reached out and grabbed Wen Yi, "Are you hungry?"
Wen Yi asked in confusion, "What?"
"It's nothing, go to the meeting," Gu Huaixu reminded him.
Wen Yi was baffled, but she didn't have time to say anything more to Master Gu. She got out of the car and headed to the conference hall.
When Wen opened the door and went in, the people at the scene had already started arguing.
They were arguing incessantly.
During video conferences, one can still be more restrained, but face-to-face, with differing opinions, the arguments can escalate even further.
Even with Wen Yi's arrival, the two sides remained red-faced and showed no sign of stopping.
Wen Yi pulled out a chair. "Has anything been confirmed yet?"
One question and they started arguing again.
Wen was used to this, so she let them argue, as they were always reasonable and well-founded.
It's a work habit of hers; it's normal for them to argue like this during script meetings or other meetings. When these people argue, they bring out the most points of each other's opinions, and Wen Yi can extract the useful information.
This time, the argument lasted for two hours before it finally stopped.
At the same time, there was a knock on the conference room door. "Excuse me, is this director Shi Nanhua's film meeting?"
Wen turned around. "What is it?"
"Mr. Gu prepared coffee and desserts and asked me to bring them over."
The other person said this, then pushed the door open and came in with the cart.
It's filled with coffee, desserts, and some snacks.
These people had been arguing for two hours and were exhausted. Their eyes lit up when they saw the desserts and coffee.
The staff put everything away and then said, "Mr. Gu said that if you need anything else, just ask Director Shi Nanhua."
The staff left.
Everyone in the meeting room turned to look at Wen.
Those who had been in the same team as Wen Yi before started to shine with excitement.
Lin Xiaxia's eyes lit up, and she slid over to Wen Yi's side, chair and all, and whispered gossip, "Who is this Mr. Gu?"
Wen Yi looked at Lin Xiaxia.
Lin Xiaxia smiled brightly, "I smell something fishy about me, sister."
Wen Yi pushed Lin Xiaxia's forehead and said, "Go eat your food, what could it be?"
"Nothing big? And when the door was closing just now, I saw the staff outside giving money to other members of the crew. This was a treat for the whole crew."
"You only drove over in one car before to invite her, and now you're being so generous. You're quite something, sister."
Lin Xiaxia kept gossiping.
Wen frowned. "You only arrived today, how do you know about what happened before?"
"It's just a small matter. I overheard most of it when I came to the film set." Lin Xiaxia said dismissively, "Sister, who exactly is this Mr. Gu?"
"My husband, do you believe me?" Wen asked bluntly.
Lin Xiaxia shook her head firmly, "I believe your lover, and I believe the people who pursue you, but I don't believe your husband."
"Why?"
"You don't look like the type to get married."
"What's the point of me if I don't get married?"
"To be a queen, a capable and strong woman, is to live a lonely life."
After Lin Xiaxia finished speaking, she even imitated the croaking of a frog, "Lonely, lonely."
Wen Yi:......
Thank you, little one.
Wen Yi pushed Lin Xiaxia's chair away, stopping her from gossiping any further.
"Everyone, take a break for a while. We'll continue in half an hour. I need to finalize a specific plan then."
After Wen finished speaking, he stood up from his chair.
She took out her phone and dialed Master Gu's number.
The other party answered quickly, "Hmm?"
"You arranged for the desserts and coffee to be delivered?"
"If you want to thank me, you can come out and say it in person. It would be best to reward me with a kiss; I would be very happy," Master Gu said with a light laugh.
Wen asked in return, "You didn't leave?"
The other party had already hung up, clearly not liking to talk to Wen Yi on the phone like this, and needed Wen Yi to come out face to face and reward her with a kiss.
