Chapter 72 Chapter 72

Gu Xingshi gained a lot from this banquet.

Not only did he establish good relationships with several bigwigs in the capital world, but he also got in touch with several good projects, especially the movie project mentioned by Lan Yuyu, which Gu Xingshi was very interested in.

Recently, Sheng Yueqing has made great progress in his acting skills after playing a series of roles. Gu Xingshi doesn't want him to be fixed in a certain type of role, so he plans to choose a breakthrough role for him.

He has read all the scripts that were delivered to him, but he is not very satisfied. He

originally planned to spend time looking for it, but who knew that Lan Yuyu's movie project caught his attention.

Lan Yuyu was also very easy to talk to, and agreed to give Sheng Yueqing a chance to audition, but whether he can get the role depends on himself.

That's enough.

One of the two big problems has been solved, and there's still Qin Wen left.

But Gu Xingshi is not greedy. Although Qin Wen has not acted in many dramas, his acting skills and ability to lead the box office have been recognized by the market.

For him at this moment, the most important thing next is a very important award.

But such a script is hard to come by, so we can only search for it slowly.

Zhan Deming was not satisfied yet, and took the initiative to suggest that he would take Gu Xingshi to meet some of his old friends next time they go fishing. As

soon as he said this, the people around him looked at Gu Xingshi with envy and jealousy.

Even Wen Yue looked at him in surprise.

Seeing Gu Xingshi was a little confused, Wen Yue lowered his voice and said, "Several friends of President Zhan are big names in the literary world, and they have a lot of say in the film and television industry..."

He stopped there.

Gu Xingshi understood that these were all award-winning celebrities, so it seemed that Qin Wen didn't have to worry about his next movie.

No wonder it is said that the film and television circles have to be full of effort to climb up, the resources of the top circles are indeed beyond the imagination of the people at the bottom.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Wen Yue.

Wen Yue took great pains to organize this banquet, but he was almost always introducing him the whole time, as if he wanted to get whatever he wanted.

Gu Xingshi couldn't help but think of the night when he was drunk and passed out, but still insisted on taking care of himself, and his heart softened immediately.

Wen Yue saw him looking at him, but misunderstood, and whispered: "If you are worried, I can go with you."

Gu Xingshi was stunned, then smiled: "Okay."

His eyebrows were curved, and his look of complete trust made Wen Yue tremble again.

Lan Yuyu suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Gu, I have a dance party here in a few days, I wonder if you can come?"

Wen Yue's eyebrows jumped immediately.

He knew very well that the dance parties in the circle were almost a disguised blind date, especially Lan Yuyu who loved to matchmake people, what was she thinking!

Lan Yuyu didn't notice his expression, and said to Gu Xingshi: "The younger generation in my family admires you very much, so just give me a favor and go meet those little bastards?"

The matchmaking intention was becoming more and more obvious! !

Wen Yue's face turned cold.

However, given his current relationship with Gu Xingshi, how could he refuse on his behalf!

It just so happened that he had a very important negotiation that day and couldn't go with him.

Gu Xingshi was thoughtful and couldn't help asking: [Tong, I remember you told me before that there is a very powerful music producer, and his last name is Lan? ]

The system understood immediately: [Yes, he is Lan's cousin, and he should attend this dance. ]

Gu Xingshi nodded.

Meng Yuansheng is preparing for his first solo album, and Gu Xingshi has been selecting suitable music producers for him.

However, good music producers in the industry are so popular that their work appointments are almost scheduled until the year after next, so Gu Xingshi can only find another way.

Wen Yue saw this, his eyes dimmed, and he said to Gu Xingshi: "You like dances? Then..."

Gu Xingshi wondered: "I don't like it."

Wen Yue: "..."

Lan Yuyu finally reacted, almost laughing out tears, and deliberately said: "Mr. Wen, did you misunderstand something? I asked Xiao Gu to be my male companion, so that no bees and butterflies would touch him."

Wen Yue was not embarrassed at all, and said lightly: "You also said that bees and butterflies are always a little immature."

This jealousy! !

Lan Yongyu couldn't help but be amazed, but in her heart she took it very seriously. It seemed that she had to warn the people who came to the dance that day to be careful and not to offend people who shouldn't be offended.

-On

the day of the dance, Gu Xingshi changed into a suit that was more suitable for the dance, but when he was choosing accessories, he suddenly saw a box.

This was the gift that Wen Yue gave him on the day he moved to the company.

-An orange diamond brooch.

He thought about it and pinned the brooch on his clothes.

Then, he drove his second-hand car to the dance venue.

The people invited to Lan Yongyu's dance were of high class, and those who wanted to attend flocked to it, making it very lively.

The luxury cars at the door were so dazzling that they could blind people.

And Gu Xingshi didn't encounter any unexpected traffic jams.

There was still some time before the dance started, so Gu Xingshi was in no hurry and rolled down the car window to get some fresh air. He

happened to meet the man in the sports car next to him.

The man looked at his car and then at his face.

He knew that at a dance like this, there would always be some people from poor families who wanted to take this opportunity to change their fate through marriage.

Girls were okay, as marrying into a wealthy family would mean a quick rise to fame, but boys like this were either hooking up with rich women or bigwigs, and were nothing more than ducks with relatively noble status.

He immediately pinched a ball of toilet paper and threw it at Gu Xingshi's car window, and said frivolously, "Hey, who are you from?"

He stared at Gu Xingshi with an uncomfortable look in his eyes.

Gu Xingshi asked bluntly, "Whose company are you from?"

The man was a little unhappy, but soon said with a little pride, "My name is Zhen Yunfei, and my father is President Zhen of Qihua Group."

There was no need to think about it, the system immediately jumped out: [Host, this is the Zhen family that gave birth to many illegitimate children. However, this Zhen Yunfei is lucky, and because of his mother's status, he has just been made the legal son! 】

Gu Xingshi suddenly realized: "Oh, an illegitimate child!"

Zhen Yunfei's face suddenly became ugly after being poked at his sore spot: "What nonsense are you talking about! For a poor family like you, believe it or not, my father will make your family bankrupt!"

After listening to the gossip of the system, Gu Xingshi sighed: "Does your father know that you are making him hate you outside? You are really filial! As for the bankruptcy, you don't have to worry about it, I will consider it."

"But it's okay, your father doesn't have many other things, but he has many illegitimate children, this is what he deserves."

Zhen Yunfei was so angry that his face was distorted, and he was about to get out of the car to settle the score with Gu Xingshi.

At this time, the car in front of Gu Xingshi was moved away, and Gu Xingshi drove in directly, leaving him with only a string of car exhaust.

Zhen Yunfei's sports car was too big, so it took a lot of effort to park it.

When he entered the banquet hall, the dance was about to start.

His mother was chatting with a few noble ladies. When she saw him coming over in a shabby outfit, her face changed slightly and she pulled him aside: "What's wrong with you? You took so long to come! Your father was still asking you about it!"

Zhen Yunfei said depressedly: "When I came in, I had an argument with a poor guy and wasted some time."

Madam Zhen frowned and warned him: "The people who come to the Lan family's banquet are either rich or noble, so don't cause trouble."

"I know, I'm not stupid." Zhen Yunfei sneered, "He's driving a broken Buick, and I don't know which family this young man from is in trouble."

Mrs. Zhen was relieved to hear him say that, and didn't take it seriously, and continued: "This time, President Lan also invited President Gu from Le Shi, and repeatedly told us not to bump into him..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhen Yunfei suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at the young man who was chatting happily with Lan Yuyu and Lan Yue at the main seat, and stammered: "Who is he?!"

Mrs. Zhen: "Didn't I just tell you? President Gu from Le Shi! Don't look at his young age, his identity is not ordinary..."

Zhen Yunfei: "!!!"

He saw it without his mother telling him.

All of them, the young generation, came here for blind dates.

But Gu Xingshi was already sitting at the main table with his father, even higher than his father.

Zhen Yunfei thought of what he had done before, his face suddenly turned pale, and he wanted to faint.

But Mrs. Zhen continued: "It is said that he is also the lover of President Wen. It is said that Huanyang Capital went bankrupt before just to vent his anger for him..."

Zhen Yunfei: "!!!"

His body slowly softened.

Mrs. Zhen: "Yunfei!! Son!! What's wrong with you!!"

The commotion below was quickly quelled. Except for President Zhen who ran out with a serious expression, it did not attract the attention of other people at the main table.

After sending the message, Gu Xingshi put away his phone.

Lan Yue asked curiously, "Is Mr. Gu busy with work?"

Gu Xingshi said calmly, "No, I met a filial son who felt that his father worked too hard, so he helped him reduce the burden."

Lan Yue: "?"

But he didn't think much about it and asked someone to announce the start of the dance.

The first dance is always performed by the host.

But the opening dance of the Lan family has always been performed by Lan Yuyu and Lan Yue.

But this time, it was Gu Xingshi who invited Lan Yuyu to dance.

Everyone around was shocked.

Although Lan Yuyu had asked someone to remind everyone before, many people thought it was just for Wen Yue's sake. After all, many people already knew about the love story of Gu Xingshi and Wen Yue.

However, at the moment, Gu Xingshi actually replaced Lan Yue and invited Lan Yuyu to dance the opening dance, and Lan Yue seemed to be happy to see it happen.

This means that the Lan siblings have made their attitude clear and classified him as one of their own.

No matter whether they did this because of Gu Xingshi's ability or because of Wen Yue's attitude.

But at least at this moment, Gu Xingshi's position is completely different from theirs.

Ruan Yi was stunned.

He is now particularly glad that he did not completely offend Gu Xingshi at the beginning.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly pulled the two daughters over and gave them detailed instructions.

Especially Ruan Xinyin.

After all, he wanted to push Ruan Wenrou to Wen Yue at the beginning, and was somewhat worried that Gu Xingshi would bear a grudge.

Ruan Wenrou's eyes flickered slightly, but her face was gentle and soft.

-

Gu Xingshi invited Lan Yuyu to dance the opening dance, and then he had time to look for the cousin of the Lan family.

His name is Lan Ledao.

As a member of the Lan family, although he is only a side branch, he has no worries about food and clothing, so he makes music just for his own pleasure, and his attitude is also relatively arrogant.

However, facing his aunt's distinguished guest, Lan Ledao also restrained a lot of his arrogance.

Originally thought that he was just giving his aunt a face, but he didn't expect that the more he talked, the more speculative he became. Although Gu Xingshi did not have much professional knowledge, his intuition about art was terrible.

As the two were chatting, Gu Xingshi suddenly heard the system say: [Host! The fake daughter is bullying the real daughter again! ]

Gu Xingshi frowned slightly, said "Excuse me" to Lan Ledao, and stood up and followed the instructions of the system to walk towards the place where the accident happened.

System: [Before, those rich girls were playing the piano to show off their talents, and the fake rich girls asked a few of their companions to cheer and let the real rich girls go up to play the piano. The real rich girls were not very good at it, so they kept laughing at her...]

Gu Xingshi walked over and saw Ruan Xinyin standing aside with a pale face, holding the hem of her skirt awkwardly.

Several girls surrounded Ruan Wenrou, not hiding the malice in their words.

"Someone actually played the piano like this, my six-year-old cousin plays better than her!"

"A wild girl is a wild girl. Standing with such an inferior person, the air becomes shabby."

"No wonder your family never brings her out. She is like this. It would be embarrassing to bring her out!"

Ruan Wenrou had a weak look on her face, as if she was speaking for Ruan Xinyin: "Don't say that about my sister, she has worked hard to learn... She's just not good at playing the piano, but she sings well. When she was in the bar before..."

At this point, she suddenly covered her mouth in panic, "Sorry, sister, I accidentally told your secret..."

At this time, the expressions of the people around her changed, and they whispered.

"Oh, she looks so innocent, but she actually sings in a place like a bar..."

"The bar is very chaotic, a girl going to that kind of place, tut tut tut..."

"This kind of girl is not simple..."

Ruan Wenrou showed a hint of pride on her face.

Ruan Yi's face turned pale, and he was about to scold Ruan Xinyin.

But he heard a clear voice behind him saying, "What a coincidence, I used to play the piano in a bar!"

All the voices stopped abruptly.

Ruan Xinyin also looked up in astonishment, and saw a handsome and delicate young man with a warm smile walking towards her.

He sat directly on the piano stool, his fingers gently dancing on the keys, and a string of beautiful musical notes flowed out from his fingertips.

He looked at Ruan Xinyin with a smile: "Do I have the honor to ask Miss Ruan to cooperate with me?"

His eyes were clear and sincere, without a trace of contempt or humiliation.

Ruan Xinyin nodded subconsciously.

Gu Xingshi asked her what song she was best at, opened her mobile phone, looked at the score, and nodded to her.

As he pressed the keys, beautiful piano music flowed out.

Ruan Xinyin opened her mouth slowly, and her unique timbre intersected with the sound of the piano, echoing above the banquet hall.

Everyone stopped talking and watched quietly.

Lan Yongyu and others who were chatting were also attracted.

When the song ended,

Lan Ledao was the first to applaud: "It's so beautiful! Mr. Gu's piano and Miss Ruan's singing complement each other perfectly. It's simply art!"

Lan Yongyu smiled and joked: "It's rare that Xingshi and Miss Ruan have such leisure and elegance. Let us feast our ears!"

Lan Yue also said a few more words, which was rare: "I have heard that Xingshi is multi-talented. Thanks to Miss Ruan, he was willing to show it once."

The big guys said so, and the wind direction on the scene also changed.

"Mr. Gu plays the piano really well, and Miss Ruan sings well too."

"It's normal to go to a bar to play the piano and sing. I wanted to do that when I was young!"

"Being self-reliant is amazing!"

Ruan Wenrou didn't expect things to turn out this way, and her expression froze.

However, the next second, she saw Gu Xingshi looking at her with a smile that made her back chill.

"It's said that what's real can't be fake, and what's fake can't be real. You, a fake daughter, have been occupying the nest for so many years, and now the real daughter has returned. No matter how hard you try, it's impossible for it to become real, don't you think?"

There was an outcry at the scene.

Ruan Wenrou's face suddenly turned pale.

"Oh, did I accidentally tell your secret..."
