Chapter 69 Chapter 69

The box office of "The Secret Door" has been rising, and the topic is also rising.

No one expected that an unpopular horror film could have such a box office, especially since it was Gu Xingshi's first time to be a producer. When Wen Yue invested in Gu Xingshi, many people secretly laughed at him for being blinded by lust, but now they have all shut up.

Who doesn't envy Wen Yue's good vision now, um... in various aspects.

After listening to Tang Ling's report, Wen Yue's eyes flashed slightly: "Anything else?"

Tang Ling: "?"

Didn't President Wen hate to hear these sour words in the circle the most?

However, as a caring assistant, Tang Ling quickly understood his boss' intention: "Boss Wen, the box office of "The Door" has exceeded 700 million, breaking the box office record of domestic horror films. It's time to hold a celebration banquet."

After getting Wen Yue's approval, Tang Ling was about to leave, but was stopped again.

Wen Yue was silent for a moment: "Pick a more formal occasion."

Because of Wen Yue's request, Tang Ling decided to hold the celebration banquet at the top hotel in Beijing.

On the day of the celebration banquet, everyone in the crew changed into formal clothes.

Life during this period was like a dream for everyone. They were praised, sought after, and even held a celebration banquet in a place that they had never dared to think of before.

Moreover, all the cast and crew were invited to the celebration party, and everyone was very moved by the feeling of being valued. However,

although they were moved, it was their first time in such a high-end place, and they were very reserved.

The actors were fine, but the cast and crew who had been behind the scenes for many years were very uncomfortable, especially when facing Wen Yue, who had an extremely strong aura, and they dared not say a word. It was not

until Gu Xingshi came that the scene was thawed.

Just like in the crew, no matter what problems arose, as long as he was there, they would be able to solve them.

Unknowingly, Gu Xingshi had already built an indestructible sense of trust in the hearts of these one hundred people.

Wen Yue also raised his head.

Gu Xingshi was wearing a light grey suit today, and his hair was combed up, revealing his fair forehead. He was no longer as cute and harmless as usual, but had a more stern aura.

Wen Yue's eyes slid from his neck to his chest, and then to his wrist.

Gu Xingshi was clean and tidy, without any jewelry.

Wen Yue's eyes dimmed.

So, he didn't like wearing jewelry, or he didn't like the jewelry he gave him?

But the next second, he heard Gu Xingshi's energetic and cheerful voice: "Mr. Wen!"

Wen Yue instantly forgot his little disappointment and walked towards him: "Mr. Gu, congratulations."

Gu Xingshi smiled: "Congratulations!"

But the two of them only exchanged a few simple greetings, and Gu Xingshi was taken away by others.

Yu Youxia and the other three screenwriters were hiding in a corner, looking like people who didn't want to be noticed. When they saw Gu Xingshi appear, they followed him closely, not leaving him.

Wen Yue found that in just a short while, he couldn't squeeze in beside Gu Xingshi.

As the core figure of this movie, even though Gu Xingshi didn't say anything, the atmosphere on the scene became warm. The group of people who were timid before seemed to have become bold and surrounded Gu Xingshi to toast.

Gu Xingshi also accepted all the toasts and drank them no matter who toasted him.

Wen Yue knew who the protagonist of the night was, so he just watched from the side at first, but gradually, his brows wrinkled.

What's wrong with these people?

We've toasted a round of wine, why are they still here!

Wen Yue stood up and walked to Gu Xingshi's side.

"Mr. Wen?"

His presence was quite noticeable, and Gu Xingshi couldn't help but look at him in confusion.

Gu Xingshi's cheeks were rosy and his eyes sparkled. It seemed that because the heating was strong enough, his forehead was slightly sweaty. A strand of hair fell down and stuck to his cheek, revealing a bit of unconscious temptation.

Wen Yue tightened his fingers around the glass, but said in a deep voice: "This movie has such a great success, I should also toast everyone."

The originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Wen Yue in surprise and suspicion. They really didn't expect that the high and mighty President Wen would come down to have fun with the people. Gu Xingshi, on

the other hand, was calm and unhurried. He gently bumped Wen Yue's glass and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you pretending in front of President Wen? I didn't see you so polite when you just poured me wine? I am a president after all!"

There were bursts of laughter at the scene, and the originally restrained atmosphere became relaxed.

Gu Xingshi blinked at Wen Yue and mouthed: You're welcome.

Wen Yue couldn't help but chuckle.

Qin Wen saw the two of them interacting from the side, and was anxious. Just as he was about to step forward, Sun Hongfei grabbed his neck and said, "Come on, Xiao Qin, let's talk..." Qin

Wen wanted to dodge with his kung fu, but as soon as he moved, he was held down by Tang Ling on the other side.

Assistant Tang, with a warm smile, and Sun Hongfei carried Qin Wen away on the left and right.

Qin Wen: "!!!"

How despicable!!

Wen Yue had no more worries, so he stayed by Gu Xingshi's side. Once he found someone toasting Gu Xingshi, he would block it for him without saying a word.

When Tang Ling finally got Qin Wen drunk, he was surprised to find Wen Yue drinking one glass after another when he came back.

But he remembered that President Wen rarely drank!

How...

what happened when he just left? !

At first, everyone was still a little worried, but after a while, they found that although Mr. Wen didn't like to talk, he was not that serious, so they completely let go.

So, they drank too much without paying attention.

Fortunately, Tang Ling had anticipated this situation and reserved a room in the hotel.

As for those who could still walk, they also arranged for someone to send them back.

Gu Xingshi was happy tonight and rarely drank too much. Even though he had always been able to drink, he was a little drunk at the moment and leaned on the chair to rest.

From a distance, he saw Wen Yue approaching and asked worriedly: "How is it?"

Gu Xingshi waved his hand.

Wen Yue paused and said, "I'll ask the driver to take you back."

Gu Xingshi thought he meant asking the driver to take him home, but after he got into the car, Wen Yue also got in from the other side.

Gu Xingshi didn't think much about it, he just thought it was a ride on the road. The driver dropped him off and then dropped Wen Yue off.

When the car drove under his house, Gu Xingshi held on and thanked Wen Yue. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got off the car, his legs went weak and he staggered a few steps.

The next second, hot palms held his arms.

Gu Xingshi looked up in a daze: "Mr. Wen?"

Wen Yue seemed to be a little slow before saying: "You are drunk, I will take you upstairs."

Gu Xingshi: "I am not..."

However, Wen Yue did not seem to listen to him. 's excuse, and helped him into the elevator without allowing him to be refused.

Gu Xingshi could only shut up.

Feeling Wen Yue's steady pace, he could only sigh that the boss was indeed the boss, he was good at work and his drinking capacity was also great. Wen Yue drank a lot tonight, but he was not drunk at all. Wen

Yue helped Gu Xingshi into the house.

The house was filled with unopened boxes and the furniture was covered with dust bags.

After things got better, Gu Xingshi rented a new place to live. However, he was too busy recently and although he moved, he didn't have time to pack up.

He was a little embarrassed: "That..."

Wen Yue didn't mind and helped him back to the room: "It's okay, you rest."

After a while, Wen Yue came in with a cup of warm water and a warm towel: " Drink some water and wipe your face, you will feel better. "

Gu Xingshi was a little confused.

Was he being taken care of?

He drank a mouthful of water, the water temperature was just right.

Then he covered his face with a towel, the slightly hot temperature made his pores It seemed to open, and he sighed comfortably.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a "crackling" sound coming from the kitchen.

Gu Xingshi was startled and walked quickly to the kitchen, and found Wen Yue leaned against the edge of the pool, with a pile of debris at his feet.

He had taken off his coat at some point, and the sleeves of his black shirt were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his distinct arm muscles.

Seeing Gu Xingshi coming out, he seemed to react: "Sorry, I'm cleaning up now..."

Gu Xingshi looked at him. With a slightly dazed look in his eyes, he asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"No problem." Wen Yue said.

Gu Xingshi then realized that something was cooking in the small pot on the stove, and was a little surprised, "What is this? "

Wen Yue followed his finger and looked at the pot, and said in a serious tone: "This is a hangover soup, the ingredients are orange peel, mulberry..."

Gu Xingshi: "..."

He was a little surprised.

I thought Wen Yue was such a big shot . My brother has been taken care of since he was young, so it is normal for him to be lazy and ignorant. I didn't expect that he can do housework quite well.

After Wen Yue finished memorizing the recipe, he looked at Gu Xingshi again with burning eyes.

Gu Xingshi hesitated and said, "Mr. Wen... you are quite amazing."

Wen Yue's eyes lit up and said, "In fact, I can make more than a dozen kinds of hangover sobering drinks. Tang, do you want to try it?"

Gu Xingshi: "...not really."

Wen Yue's eyes dimmed immediately.

Gu Xingshi felt that Wen Yue seemed different tonight, so he asked tentatively. "Besides making hangover soup, what else can you cook?"

"I know a little bit about Chinese, French, and Italian food. I rarely make Japanese and Korean food, but it's not difficult if I have the recipes..."

Although Wen Yue's tone was Steady, but Gu Xingshi didn't know why, he always had the illusion that he saw his tail spreading behind him.

He shook off the strange imagination in his mind and continued to ask: "Mr. Wen likes to cook?"

Wen Yue shook his head.

Gu Xingshi was stunned: "Then why..."

Wen Yue explained: "The Wen family adheres to the wolf-raising education , I have been studying abroad since junior high school, so I am used to taking care of myself..." Gu

Xingshi did not expect that Wen Yue would tell him all his experiences for just one question.

Are you a chatterbox?

Just when he was wondering, the hangover soup was ready.

Wen Yue just shut up, served him a bowl, and passed it to him: "Be careful, it's hot."

Gu Xingshi took a sip and found that the taste was unexpectedly Not bad to drink.

Wen Yue looked at him expectantly: "How is it?"

Gu Xingshi: "It tastes good."

Wen Yue smiled with satisfaction.

Gu Xingshi realized later that Wen Yue had been busy since he came in. Enjoying his hot towel and the hangover soup, she even forgot to pour him a glass of water.

This was a mistake that he would never have made in the past.

But Wen Yue didn't seem to mind. After he drank the sobering soup, he picked up his coat again and said to him, "You have a good rest. I'm leaving first."

Wen Yue left Gu Xingshi's house and walked into the elevator with steady steps.

But just as the elevator door closed, his eyes suddenly turned dizzy, his palms pressed heavily against the elevator wall, his brows furrowed, and his cheekbones instantly turned red.

Wen Yue's alcohol tolerance was not good.

It was just that in the past, others were Because of his majesty and power, no one dared to let him get drunk.

He was already drunk at Gu Xingshi's house before, but he tried hard to sober himself up just to take care of Gu Xingshi.

Now he can walk to the elevator with all his strength. Inside, it was already the limit.

At this moment, the elevator door suddenly opened.

Wen Yue looked up, but saw a blur in front of him, with only a familiar figure vaguely visible.

Gu Xingshi sighed lightly.

Just now when he was in the kitchen, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

After Wen Yue left, he was a little worried and followed him, only to find that the elevator didn't move at all.

He pressed the elevator button and saw Wen Yue, who was drunk.

He walked into the elevator and led Wen Yue back home.

Fortunately, the drunk Wen Yue was still well-behaved. Apart from staring at him all the time, he did whatever he was asked to do.

Gu Xingshi even felt vaguely that the overly well-behaved man in front of him was not the legend of the investment world, the feared head of the Wen family.

But why did he insist on sending him back and making sobering soup for him when he was so drunk?

"Because... I want to take care of you."

After hearing Wen Yue's answer, Gu Xingshi realized that he had asked the question unconsciously.

He was obviously used to taking care of others, but this answer still gently touched the string in his heart.

-The

next morning, Wen Yue opened his eyes and saw the unfamiliar environment in front of him. There was a moment of blur in his eyes, but he quickly regained his usual clarity and sharpness.

Moreover, everything that happened last night instantly appeared in his mind.

Thinking of all the stupid things he did last night, Wen Yue couldn't help but feel annoyed.

How could he make such a mistake! !

At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Mr. Wen, are you awake?"

Wen Yue: "...Awake."

The door opened and Gu Xingshi walked in.

Wen Yue then realized that he was wearing sportswear and a headband on his forehead, which made him look particularly youthful.

Gu Xingshi did not mention what happened last night, but just smiled and said, "I have put the toiletries in the bathroom, and there are spare clothes on the shelf. Hurry up and wash up and come over for breakfast."

The faint orange scent passed through Wen Yue's nose, making his heart beat wildly again.

When Wen Yue finished washing up, he found that the messy living room had been cleaned up.

Gu Xingshi was wearing home clothes and a cartoon apron. She was setting the dishes and chopsticks. When she saw him come out, she motioned for him to come over for dinner.

At that moment, Wen Yue actually had the illusion that the two were newlyweds.

When he sat opposite Gu Xingshi, he found that the table was full of takeout boxes.

Gu Xingshi smiled: "You don't mind eating takeout, do you?"

Wen Yue: "...No." He paused, "Takeout, it's also very delicious."

Gu Xingshi's smile deepened: "I think so too."

Wen Yue had a dreamy morning, and he was still immersed in the afterglow when he arrived at the office.

Tang Ling reported for a long time, but saw that he didn't move at all, and couldn't help but worry: "Boss Wen, are you okay?"

As soon as the banquet ended last night, Boss Wen and the driver disappeared, and they couldn't be contacted. I don't know if Boss Wen was injured because he drank so much last night.

Wen Yue came back to his senses: "What's the matter?"

Seeing that his expression was the same as before, Tang Ling could only suppress his worries and doubts, and continued: "It's about the banquet list..."

Wen Yue suddenly realized.

It was the banquet that helped Gu Xingshi expand his network.

Thinking of this, he suddenly said: "Go ask Mr. Gu's stylist what clothes Mr. Gu wants to wear that day, and then choose a matching watch to send over."

Tang Ling: "???"

Wait.

Boss, I just asked about the banquet list, not Mr. Gu!

-Since

"The Door" set a box office record, Gu Xingshi has become a hot commodity in the eyes of various investors and started to be busy with socializing.

The success of several dramas and movies is enough to prove that his success is not accidental.

In the past, Gu Xingshi had to rely on Yao Hui to enter this circle, but now whenever he is at a party, investors flock to him.

Yao Hui, who has a good relationship with him, has also risen in status.

Gu Xingshi also fulfilled his promise to the screenwriters and found a suitable home for their scripts.

As soon as the news came out, all the investors almost trampled on the threshold of Leshi.

Now everyone knows that President Gu has a sharp eye. As long as he chooses you, you will be immediately listed as a potential hit.

Who doesn't want to climb on this golden thigh?

More importantly, this is equivalent to passing the "entertainment circle political review". In today's entertainment circle where house collapses frequently, it is equivalent to a layer of insurance for partners.

After all, who hasn’t been cheated by a failed artist? It’s all blood and tears!

So, every once in a while, you can see investors happily posting in their circle of friends: [I got it! ]

They are jokingly called the new era of Fan Jin’s success.

There are those who “get it”, and there are naturally those who are broken because of “failure”.

Ruan Yi and his wife are one of them.

Although they only started investing in film and television in recent years, the Ruan family is also ranked among the wealthy families in Beijing. Ruan Yi thought that he could easily take down Gu Xingshi’s project by showing off the name of the Ruan family, but he didn’t expect to be rejected by Gu Xingshi.

“How dare he!!” Ruan Yi’s wife Xiang Li asked in disbelief.

Ruan Yi said angrily: "I told you that young people are unreliable, but you insisted on sticking to them. Now our Ruan family's reputation has been trampled on. If those people outside knew about this, they would definitely laugh at us!"

Xiang Li raised her voice dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you want to invest in his project at that time? Now you blame me!"

"Okay, stop arguing, don't you think I'm annoying enough?" Ruan Yi frowned, "Forget it, his projects are not the only ones we can invest in in this circle, and we will have to go to President Wen's banquet later, right? In terms of level, he is much higher than him!" Xiang

Li hesitated: "But I heard that he has a special relationship with President Wen, what if..."

"What's there to worry about!" Ruan Yi said contemptuously, "He was just kept by President Wen for fun. Can he influence President Wen's decision?"

Xiang Li: "That's not necessarily true. Didn't President Wen bankrupt Huanyang Capital because of him?"

Ruan Yi's expression froze for a moment, and then he said, "Maybe this is just a coincidence. If it's true, why haven't we seen President Wen take him to any formal events?"

Xiang Li thought for a moment and said, "It seems so."

Ruan Yi: "Men, they just play around before marriage, and in the end, they still have to get married and have children..."

At this time, a slender and beautiful girl walked down the stairs: "Mom and Dad, you are looking for me?"

When Ruan Yi saw her, he immediately showed a satisfied smile: "Wen Rou, have you picked out the clothes I asked you to pick out earlier?"

"I've picked it, and the hairstyle and makeup are all ready." Ruan Wenrou nodded obediently, and then asked in confusion, "Dad, Mom, what kind of occasion is this? You take it so seriously?"

Ruan Yi was very satisfied with his daughter's obedience, so he said, "It's Mr. Wen's banquet." Then he said, "Mr. Wen is handsome and rich. If you work hard and can get his favor, you won't have to worry about the rest of your life."

Ruan Wenrou's eyes flashed, and she asked softly, "Then...sister, are you going?"

"That wild girl." Ruan Yi showed a trace of disgust on his face, "Don't worry about her."

Xiang Li hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Wenrou, you must perform well, our Ruan family depends on you."

Ruan Wenrou lowered her eyes: "I know, Mom."

-

Wait until the day of the banquet.

Ruan Yi and the other two dressed up and followed the people from the Lan family into the Wen family's manor.

As soon as he entered, Ruan Yi was shocked by the luxury in front of him. Greed flashed in his eyes unconsciously, and he murmured: "This is the top wealthy family..."

Compared with the Wen family, their Ruan family is simply a shabby and poor family.

They were not qualified to participate originally, but because Ruan Yi's mother had some connection with the Lan family siblings, they were brought in through the Lan family's relationship.

The Lan family member who led them in said coldly: "After entering, you should know what to say and what to do. Don't cause trouble and lose face for our Lan family."

Ruan Yi nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, we know our limits."

As soon as the other party left, his face suddenly changed: "Bah, a branch of the Lan family is also showing off in front of me, what a joke, when we become relatives with President Wen..."

Thinking of this, he looked at Ruan Wenrou who was dressed up very beautifully: "Wenrou, you have to be smart later."

Ruan Wenrou nodded obediently.

Ruan Yi then led them into the main hall of the banquet with satisfaction.

As soon as they entered, their eyes were instantly attracted by Wen Yue.

He was tall and handsome, and his aura that belonged to a superior was even more impressive.

He was surrounded by the top wealthy families and investors in the circle. Even if he was just sitting there casually, he was still the focus of attention among such a group of top figures.

Ruan Yi only noticed that Wen Yue was alone and had no female companion.

He was delighted and was about to bring his daughter forward.

But at this moment, a waiter said something in Wen Yue's ear. He seemed to see that Wen Yue's expression had changed. He said something to the people around him before he stood up and walked out. During

the banquet, every move of Wen Yue was watched by everyone.

Ruan Yi heard the people around him discussing.

"Why did President Wen leave?"

"Looking at the direction President Wen left, it seems like he was going to pick someone up?"

"Could he be some big shot to be greeted by President Wen in person?"

Ruan Yi was also very curious. When he followed the Lan family in, he did not see President Wen personally greet the Lan siblings. Could there be someone more famous than them?

Just as he stretched his neck to look outside, he saw Wen Yue leading someone inside. He

could only vaguely see that the other person was slender and seemed to be slightly shorter than Wen Yue.

Just as Ruan Yi was thinking about which wealthy family the head of the family was from.

The two of them had already been surrounded by people and walked into the hall.

He also saw the man's face clearly and was immediately shocked.

That man -

was actually Gu Xingshi? !
