Chapter 456 What’s there to brag about?
Gu Siqing was studying two majors, and recently she was busy working on a script, which had caused her to fall behind on her studies. Now that the script was finished, she had to catch up quickly. Failing a course was an absolute no-no.
After a literature class that day, her teacher, Xie Jihua, stopped her and said, "The Writers Association is having an event soon. You should attend. Most of the participants are mature writers, and participating in such an event will be beneficial for you."
Gu Siqing was extremely busy, but since it was her teacher's invitation, she couldn't refuse, so she asked, "What time exactly?"
"You should have time after the final exam." Xie Jihua said with a smile.
Gu Siqing thought about the time of the International Diving Championships and it didn't seem to conflict, so she said, "Okay, thank you."
Xie Jihua smiled and waved his hand, "I'll let you know when the time comes."
"good."
Gu Siqing then nervously prepared for the final exams. That day, while eating lunch with Hu Jiajia in the cafeteria, Hu Jiajia whispered to her, "Dong Jianhong has a boyfriend."
Gu Siqing was stunned for a moment, "With whom?" Could she really be dating Kang Yuanze?
"She's not from our school," Hu Jiajia said. "I don't know the details. Yesterday she said she'd treat us to dinner tonight and asked you to come."
Gu Siqing said without a second thought: "No."
Too lazy to deal with that kind of person.
"She just wanted me to tell you that you don't have to go. Seeing how proud she is, this guy must be quite good. I guess she wants to show off to you."
Hu Jiajia felt that Dong Jianhong was quite boring. Whether your partner is good or not is your own business. What is there to brag about?
"If your partner is good, he will definitely treat you to a good meal at a good place. You can eat as much as you want then." Gu Siqing shrugged.
Hu Jiajia smiled and said, "Yeah, I can order whatever I want to eat then."
After they finished their meal, Hu Jiajia went back to the dormitory to rest, while Gu Siqing went back to the classroom to read her book. After school in the afternoon, she pushed her bicycle to the school gate and saw a white Santana parked there with Miss Xia Ying sitting inside.
Seeing her, Xia Ying waved, and Gu Siqing pushed the cart over. "Are you here to pick me up from school?"
"I have something to tell you. Let's have dinner together." Xia Ying glanced at her bicycle. "Will you put it back?"
Gu Siqing looked around and saw a lot of cars parked near the campus wall not far away. She went over and parked her car there, then locked it with the car lock.
After getting in the car, Xia Ying said, "The crew has already started preparations. Zhou Guoyuan wants to talk to you about the characters in the script."
Gu Siqing nodded. She had thought of this a long time ago. As a director, Zhou Guoyuan must have a thorough understanding of every character in the script.
"That Xu Yusen," Xia Ying asked Gu Siqing gossipingly, "is he really interested in San Jing?"
"We all thought so, but Xu Yusen didn't say it explicitly." Gu Siqing sighed and then recounted Xu Yusen's family situation. "My mother thinks his family background is complicated."
Xia Ying snorted, "His family is as complicated as the emperor's harem, but we're not afraid!"
Gu Siqing gave her a thumbs up and said, "My sister, you are really awesome."
Xia Ying laughed, "The key is that San Jing has to like him. Only if she likes him will she not be afraid of the complexity of his surroundings."
As she spoke, there was a hint of loneliness in her tone. Gu Siqing felt that she must have someone in her heart, otherwise the eldest lady would not have been single for so long. The people her family introduced to her were all elites.
But she hid it very well, definitely not wanting anyone to know, so she didn't ask.
If a person who lives a clear-minded life gets stuck on something, it will be difficult for him to get out of it.
As they were talking, Xia Ying stopped the car and Gu Siqing got out. She saw in front of her a very low-key courtyard gatehouse with a plaque with gold letters on a black background, which read "Shi Ke Ju".
"It's a restaurant opened by a childhood friend. The food is good, and most importantly, it's quiet." Xia Ying said as she walked in, and Gu Siqing walked side by side with her. As they walked, they chatted about the crew, when suddenly someone called out, "Gu Xiaosi, Xia Ying."
The two turned and saw a young man in his twenties walking towards them with a playful smile. It was Zhang Zijun's cousin Meng Qianjin. Gu Siqing had met him a few times and considered him an acquaintance.
Xia Ying was probably more familiar with him, so she asked, "Are you coming to dinner too?"
Meng Qianjin grinned and said, "Invite some friends to dinner."
"Okay, then you're busy. We'll talk when you're free." Xia Ying waved her hand and went to the room she had reserved with Gu Siqing. As they walked, she said, "Meng Qianjin used to hang out with Zhang Zijun every day, but now Zhang Zijun has become a better person. I think he's still the same."
Xia Ying laughed again as she spoke, "Speaking of which, Erhui is really amazing. She even made Zhang Zijun obedient."
"Brother Jun wasn't bad to begin with," Gu Siqing said pertinently. If he was inherently bad, no amount of discipline would be enough to stop him.
"Indeed, the Zhang family has very good family education." Xia Ying said.
As they were talking, they entered the private room and found Zhou Guoyuan already there. The three of them ordered their meals and began to discuss the script. Zhou Guoyuan expressed his questions and Gu Siqing answered them.
Zhou Guoyuan is really a talented director. His analysis of characters sometimes surpasses her as a creator. Gu Siqing did not restrict his development of the characters. After all, he was the one shooting the movie.
After chatting for a while, Gu Siqing went to the bathroom, but as soon as she came out, she saw Dong Jianhong, Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu entering the private room next door.
She was about to greet Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu when Meng Qianjin came out of the private room and asked, "Gu Xiaosi, are you and Xia Ying next door?"
Gu Siqing was speechless when she called him Gu Xiaosi. But now was not the time to correct him, so she smiled and said, "Yes."
Glancing at Dong Jianhong, Gu Siqing said to Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu, "Enjoy your meal."
"Do you know him?" Meng Qianjin walked up to Dong Jianhong, and the two seemed quite close.
"We were in the same dormitory before, and I went there first because I had something else to do." Gu Siqing said.
"good."
Meng Qianjin invited Dong Jianhong and the other two into the private room. After they sat down, he said, "I didn't expect you were Gu Xiaosi's classmates."
When Dong Jianhong saw him calling Gu Siqing "Gu Xiaosi", she knew they were closely related and asked, "Do you know Siqing?"
Meng Qianjin leaned lazily back in his chair. "My cousin is her brother-in-law."
Dong Jianhong clasped her hands tightly together under the table, but said with a smile on her face, "It really is fate."
Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu didn't say anything, they knew that this fate was a bad one.
Gu Siqing and the others chatted until around eight or nine o'clock. After the three of them left the private room, Zhou Guoyuan said to Gu Siqing, "I ran into your high school classmate Qu Anyi a few days ago. I think she's quite suitable for the role of An Xiaohong in this movie."
Qu Anyi was admitted to the Film Academy. Although they were not in the same school, they would occasionally contact each other. She had originally wanted Zhou Guoyuan to reserve a role for Qu Anyi, and now that Zhou Guoyuan had brought it up himself, it was perfect.
She said, "Then give the role of An Xiaohong to An Yi."
"Okay, Qu Anyi's acting is quite spiritual." Zhou Guoyuan said again.
Gu Siqing glanced at him, thinking of the rumors about his amorous past life. Could it be that Qu Anyi was with him? She would have to ask later.
