Chapter 100 Chapter 100 Expressing her feelings She is his inspiration...
That day, Xu Qinghu studied with Teacher Liu as usual, and the latter praised her acting skills for getting better and better.
He also specifically reminded her: "Don't take those online rumors to heart. Once you enter the entertainment industry, you must keep a calm mindset, otherwise the road you take will only get narrower and narrower."
She seemed to have high hopes for Xu Qinghu, encouraging him: "You are very suitable to be an actor. I hope you can keep your original intention and move forward with down-to-earth efforts."
"Thank you, teacher." Xu Qinghu replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what I want and will never be swayed by public opinion."
Teacher Liu nodded and said seriously, "The lesson is almost over. From now on, I will focus more on your acting skills and understanding of the script."
In the afternoon, Xu Qinghu returned to the office and began to read the script handed to him by Sister Cao.
The quality this time is different from before. Many well-known directors and screenwriters have found her, and the quality of the scripts has also been greatly improved.
But Xu Qinghu still hasn't chosen a satisfactory script. He just picked a few commercials and planned to leave the dating show before collaborating again.
"Are these scripts all bad?" Sister Cao asked, puzzled. "Director Liu made a hit web series a couple of years ago, and Director Wang also has some well-known works. Their scripts are all unique, and they're the best team we have access to right now."
"No." Xu Qinghu said calmly, "Wait a little longer."
Seeing her indifferent expression, Sister Cao didn't hesitate for too long and said with a smile: "Then I'll listen to you."
After get off work, Xu Qinghu was about to pick up her bag and leave when she found out that Wu Xuan had sent her a text message in advance, saying that he would come to pick her up.
She walked to the French window, looked at the black car parked downstairs, turned back and said to Sister Cao: "I'm leaving first."
Xu Qinghu took the elevator downstairs, and Wu Xuan also opened the door of the car. He was wearing a dark printed top and black trousers today, which made him look even more unapproachable.
After seeing Xu Qinghu, his eyes softened noticeably, "Off work?"
He stepped out of the car and said in a natural tone, "Let's go have dinner first, and then go to the exhibition."
Xu Qinghu stood there, looking into his narrow and deep eyes, and said straight to the point: "You should know what I think of you now."
"So what if I know," Wu Xuan took a step towards her, "Can't I just be friends with you?"
Xu Qinghu: "..."
"Weren't we each other's best friends before we fell in love?" Wu Xuan was not discouraged by her cold attitude. Instead, he smiled and said, "Even if we've broken up, does that mean the feelings we had before are gone?"
Listening to his shameless words, Xu Qinghu secretly rolled his eyes, "I have already told you very clearly."
"I know," Wu Xuan looked at her face, "then you also know what I am thinking."
The two fell silent in front of the car.
[Damn, this junior is so proactive. Even after being rejected by Hulu, he's still so aggressive.]
[I kind of want to try it, but I'm afraid I'm making a mistake.]
[So what if he's fierce? Can it mask the damage he's done to Xu Qinghu? I'm not optimistic about either of them.]
[Although, doesn't anyone think their relationship is actually quite subtle? Xu Qinghu's moods change significantly around Wu Xuan, but when it comes to He Shengnian, she can only show him her positive and sunny side, as if He Shengnian wouldn't notice her if she didn't.]
[+1, I sensed this a long time ago, which is why He Shengnian was angry about the revelations. This is the result of an unequal status.]
[Although both of them have their shortcomings, I prefer the junior. At least Hulu can be his true self in front of him.]
Xu Qinghu didn't hesitate for too long and got into the car and went to the restaurant with Wu Xuan.
He chose a light private restaurant and ordered all the food that Xu Qinghu usually liked to eat.
"I've had someone sort out all the messy whistleblower accounts online," Wu Xuan said. "I'll send the information to you later. You can do whatever you want with it."
Xu Qinghu nodded.
"Where's the legal team?" Wu Xuan said, "I have someone here who can..."
"I've found a lawyer," Xu Qinghu said, "Thank you for your help. I can handle the rest myself."
"Are you looking for He Shengnian?" Wu Xuan looked into her eyes. "Do you want him to be your attorney?"
Saying this is obviously jealousy.
There was a barrage of hahahaha.
[He said he could be friends, but in reality, he was still very bothered by the existence of a love rival.]
[My junior is so naive, it's easy for him to reveal his true thoughts.]
[As expected, liking someone cannot be hidden.]
"No," Xu Qinghu's expression remained unchanged when he mentioned He Shengnian. "I found a more suitable law firm."
Wu Xuan's eyes lit up at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he said, "If you need any help, come to me anytime."
After dinner, it was already late.
The two took a car to the place where Gu Jingchen held his fashion show, which was an art gallery in the city center.
Gu Jingchen's fashion show was promoted with the help of a dating variety show and attracted a lot of attention.
The parking lot outside the exhibition hall was filled with valuable luxury cars, and guests dressed in high-end clothes came in an endless stream, walking elegantly towards the art gallery and greeting Gu Jingchen with a smile.
Xu Qinghu and Wu Xuan didn't arrive early, but the colors of the clothes they wore were very similar, and they had the same superior looks. As soon as they got off the car, they attracted a lot of attention.
Compared to Xu Qinghu, the female guest on the dating variety show, most of them came for Wu Xuan.
After all, Yunzhou Holdings is a large enterprise. If he can connect with Wu Xuan through the fashion show, he might be able to get investment from Yunzhou Holdings and completely change his fate.
After walking a few steps, someone came over with a business card and started chatting with Wu Xuan.
Seeing this, Xu Qinghu immediately left him alone.
Gu Jingchen stood at the door and had noticed Xu Qinghu long ago. He waved to her gently and said with a smile: "Here you are."
He wore a suit with a very personal design style. The side of the suit was embroidered with elegant and gorgeous orchids in high-saturation silk threads, and the vivid dragonflies on the cuffs made him look both gentle and humble.
Xu Qinghu nodded and asked, "Have the others arrived?"
"They've already entered," Gu Jingchen said, "Only you and Wu Xuan are left."
He was originally going to go backstage to prepare for the opening process, but thinking of Xu Qinghu, he stood at the door and waited.
When the camera captures his conversation with Xu Qinghu, it will inevitably bring him more attention.
Xu Qinghu knew his plan very well and said with a smile: "Then I'll go in first."
Gu Jingchen said: "I'll take you there to find a spot."
"OK."
Xu Qinghu raised her foot and walked forward. Her back was slender, and her black satin dress flowed lightly with her steps. Her long hair, curled like seaweed, glowed faintly in the slightly dim aisle, making her look like an elf walking out of the night, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Gu Jingchen followed her, his eyes changing several times before he couldn't help but say, "Actually, there was an accident at tonight's show, and we're still short of a model to showcase our work. Are you interested in stepping onto the catwalk?"
He looked at Xu Qinghu's back, intending to seek her help.
With her current popularity, if she could display his designs, it would definitely bring him huge profits.
He had thought about inviting Xu Qing before, but he had never found a suitable opportunity. Perhaps this moment was the most appropriate one.
What could make her feel more urgent than an accident happening at the show and needing Xu Qinghu's help to rescue?
"Really?" Xu Qinghu stopped and looked at the endless corridor ahead, a hint of laughter in his voice. "For such an important moment, you didn't arrange other models?"
She turned to look at Gu Jingchen, as if she saw through his plan. "When holding a fashion show, we should consider all kinds of unexpected situations. Teacher Gu is a senior designer, so he should have backup options."
She did not take Gu Jingchen's proposal seriously, but instead questioned his ability to complete his work.
If he denies it, then there is something wrong with his ability to do his job; if he changes his story, then his proposal has ulterior motives.
Gu Jingchen didn't expect Xu Qinghu's perception to be so sharp. He said helplessly, "I'm sorry. I should have discussed this with you honestly."
He changed the subject and said, "I'd actually like to invite you to be my closing model. Your temperament is very consistent with my designs, and perhaps you can show off their characteristics better than other models."
He looked at Xu Qinghu sincerely, with undisguised expectation in his eyes.
Xu Qinghu also looked at him, looking at his familiar yet unfamiliar face.
I thought about how he repeatedly took advantage of me when I was down in the novel.
There were rumors online that she had had plastic surgery, which made him suspicious, and he looked at her with a lingering scrutiny.
There were rumors online that she had an immoral private life and relied on men to get to the top. He said he didn't believe it, but in fact his attitude towards her changed drastically.
People on the Internet said that she was eager for quick success and vain. It was as if he had finally caught her weakness and he did not hesitate to draw a clear line between him and her.
He was nice to everyone except her. Even when she tried to explain that it was slander, he turned a deaf ear to her and just wanted to vent all his negative emotions on her.
He said that he saw through her true face.
Not only did netizens not think that he was indecisive, they also said that he was an expert in tea tasting, directly nailing Xu Qinghu to the pillar of shame.
As for this fashion show, Xu Qinghu in the novel took the initiative to ask to be his model to help him display his works, but he refused without hesitation.
Xu Qinghu still remembered what he said, "I know you have a good impression of me and want to help me reduce the burden, but have you seen the rumors on the Internet?"
Unable to conceal his contempt, he deadpanned, "Now that things have come to this, do you think I'd allow someone so controversial to showcase my work? I can accept your vulgarity, your sensitivity, your competitive streak, but I can't accept someone with flawed character."
He stared down at her, "If you do something wrong, you can try your best to make amends, but if you do something wrong to someone, do you think you can change?"
The show that day was just as lively as it is now, with visitors coming and going who were wealthy.
Gu Jingchen was also standing at the door waiting for someone, but the person he was waiting for was not Xu Qinghu, but Qiao Wanshu who was dressed in gorgeous clothes.
She walked over side by side with He Shengnian, looking noble and elegant, like a little princess from a fairy tale. Every move she made made his heart beat faster.
And Xu Qinghu was thrown into a very remote corner by him.
Everyone in the hut had a seat up front, except for her, who was rotting and stinking in the dimness.
When the audience saw that he treated the situation differently, they all said that he was clear-headed and started to pair him with Qiao Wanshu again.
Gu Jingchen also became a well-known domestic designer through this fashion show. Soon he was promoted to a senior position and established his own studio.
Xu Qinghu is like a stepping stone in his life. Maybe there was a brief hesitation during their relationship, but when it comes to fame, fortune and future, she is still willing to shed blood for him.
But this time, it was no longer her who begged him, but he who begged her.
"Is that so?" Xu Qinghu raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes curved, "Isn't it a little too late?"
She looked into Gu Jingchen's eyes and said, "I'm not a professional model, and I have no experience in presenting my work, so I probably can't help you."
Her reaction was within Gu Jingchen's expectations. He immediately said, "There's still a long time before the closing. I can personally guide you."
He didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.
"Teacher Gu," Xu Qinghu's smile faded, and he said slowly, "You probably haven't understood what I mean yet."
She did not refuse explicitly, but the coldness in her eyes made Gu Jingchen suddenly realize something.
She had no intention of helping others achieve their goals, and she certainly didn't want to be his model.
He looked at Xu Qinghu's face, with obvious surprise in his eyes, as if he had never thought that she would reject him. "You may not understand the importance of the closing model."
"I know Teacher Gu," Xu Qinghu said, "I often search for information about fashion weeks online."
Gu Jingchen's heart sank instantly.
"Sorry," he said subconsciously after coming to his senses, "My suggestion was too presumptuous. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble."
"Troubled?" Xu Qinghu laughed again, "Of course not."
After saying that, she continued walking forward.
Gu Jingchen looked at her back and his mood became particularly complicated.
Apart from those bizarre and terrible memories, he boasted that he and Xu Qinghu had a good relationship. She even had a crush on him and shouldn't have rejected him so easily. Who knew...
"Teacher Gu," Xu Qinghu asked with a smile when he saw that he hadn't caught up with her. "You're not going to arrange a very remote corner for me, are you?"
"How is that possible?" Gu Jingchen hurried forward, "I have arranged the best position for you."
"Is that so?" Xu Qinghu chuckled. "Then I'm going to have to watch this fashion show carefully."
Seeing her nonchalant look, Gu Jingchen felt like a ball of cotton was blocking his heart, and he said again: "Hulu, you actually fit the image of a model in my mind."
"Have you heard of the word 'muse'?" he said slowly. "Every designer has a muse in their heart that brings them endless inspiration. This muse can be a person or an object. Once they meet her, their passion for creation will be completely ignited."
Xu Qinghu listened quietly, and waited until he finished speaking before saying, "Teacher Gu, are you hinting that I might be your muse?"
She always seemed to be able to extract the most fundamental meaning from his words.
Gu Jingchen's heart skipped a beat. He looked at her beautiful eyes and eyebrows but didn't answer immediately.
Xu Qinghu really fits his imagination of a muse.
He had this thought when they went out for a walk that night, but because Qiao Wanshu was so distant, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart.
Now he has drawn a clear line with Qiao Wanshu and no longer wants to hide his affection for Xu Qinghu.
"Have you ever heard of the saying that those in the know are often confused?" Gu Jingchen gave a wry smile and said meaningfully, "The person who is most suitable for you is right next to you, but you keep missing out."
He looked into Xu Qinghu's eyes and said, "Fortunately, it's not too late now. We still have time."
The implication is that Xu Qinghu is the right person, and the reason why he was so obsessed with Qiao Wanshu was because he didn't know what he really wanted.
Now he is completely awake.
[Oh my god, what does Gu Jingchen mean by this? Is he planning to completely give up on Qiao Wanshu and show his affection to Qing Hulu?]
[Isn't this simple? Gu Jingchen knew that the Qiao family was doomed and didn't want to waste any more time on her.]
[There's no need to turn to Xu Qinghu, he seems to be changing so quickly.]
He wanted Xu Qinghu to be a model, but he didn't tell her in advance and forced her to agree now. This is disgusting!
[I used to think he was the gentlest man in the room, and that he was always decent in everything he did, but it turns out he's the most realistic. Luckily, Xu Qinghu didn't agree.]
[The other female guests had clearly arrived earlier, but he didn't ask them for help, instead he had to go to Xu Qinghu, who arrived last. His purpose was obvious.]
[Why didn't he say anything about Hulu when the public outcry erupted? Now he knows he's taking advantage of it.]
There were also people who spoke up for Gu Jingchen.
[It's normal for Teacher Gu to come back to the right path and want to rekindle our past relationship.]
[Didn't he say that? Xu Qinghu is his muse. He definitely wants Xu Qinghu to be on stage more than anyone else.]
"Teacher Gu, I'm here to see the exhibition today." Xu Qinghu said calmly, "Take me to the show first."
Xu Qinghu's cold treatment made Gu Jingchen fall silent again.
He was like a clown. After expressing his feelings, he didn't get any response from her.
Not long after walking, Xu Qinghu heard soft classical music, and when he turned the corner, he saw a long T-stage.
Perhaps to emphasize the theme of humanity and nature, many plants and flowers were placed on both sides of the T-stage, and many small works of art were hung on the ceiling. Combined with colorful lights, the entire show looked like a dream.
At this time, many people had already arrived in the venue, and the stepped seats ensured that everyone could see all kinds of details on the stage.
Gu Jingchen arranged a seat for Xu Qinghu in the middle of the first row, where Ruan Xiaoyu, Wen Ruoxi and others were already sitting nearby.
Seeing Xu Qinghu, Ruan Xiaoyu immediately waved.
Xu Qinghu turned to look at Gu Jingchen, "Just send it here, Teacher Gu. I can find my place."
Gu Jingchen nodded and smiled, "Then I'll go backstage first."
Xu Qinghu didn't say anything else and walked towards Ruan Xiaoyu's position.
Gu Jingchen looked at her back. Although they were very close, it seemed as if there was an unreachable chasm between them.
Suddenly, I felt a little regretful that I was too obsessed with Qiao Wanshu and neglected contact with Xu Qinghu. Otherwise, their relationship would not be so distant.
And did those memories of him being extremely critical of Xu Qinghu really happen?
If so, then why didn't Xu Qinghu take the initiative to approach him, but instead developed a liking for He Shengnian not long after arriving at the cabin?
What kind of accident happened?
