Volume 1 Chapter 122 Extra - Companion
After work every day, Zhu Sheng would come to Shen Yu's gym.
This is her favorite place in Hwaseong.
No matter how tired she is from filming, she will always take time to stretch her muscles here so that she can have an extra-sounding sleep after returning home.
On this day, she swiped her card and entered the gym as usual.
As the boss, Shen Yu specially built an exclusive VIP gym on the top floor for her to use 24 hours a day.
However, although it is a VIP gym, there are actually 3 other people whose cards can also be used to open this room.
Shen Yu himself must be one of them, and his sister Shen Mo is also a frequent visitor here.
The remaining person is Gu Chiye.
Although he is a busy president, I don't know why his work and rest habits are very similar to mine.
She would meet Gu Chiye here about four or five days a week.
Unless he is on a business trip abroad and not staying in Hwaseong, Gu Chiye will usually show up here on time.
The same is true today.
After Zhu Sheng entered, he saw Gu Chiye sweating profusely on the treadmill as usual.
Even though he is over 30, Gu Chiye still looks like a teenager without a trace of fat on his body.
Compared with other CEOs of listed companies who are full of fat and corrupt, he can be considered to be the type who has taken very good care of himself.
If someone who didn’t know him saw him for the first time, they might think they were seeing a guy in his early twenties.
Zhu Sheng once jokingly asked why one should exercise so unremittingly.
Gu Chiye blushed at the time and whispered back, "You only see young and handsome guys in the entertainment industry every day. What if I age too quickly and you dislike me one day?"
Zhu Sheng's face turned red at that moment.
In recent years, she has indeed been very successful in the entertainment industry.
Because of his straightforward personality, helpful nature, hatred of evil, and excellent skills.
Whenever I encounter injustice, I always lend a hand and unknowingly gain good popularity.
At the same time, he also got into a lot of inexplicable bad love affairs.
A group of brothers and sisters always like to hang around her, making Zhu Sheng overwhelmed.
Even though Zhu Sheng repeatedly stated that she had no plans to remarry and planned to live with a few close friends when she got old, she still couldn't resist those suitors.
Shen Mo often told these things to Gu Chiye as a joke.
Whichever little dude gives you roses today, whichever abstinent handsome guy will insist on coming over to act as your background couple tomorrow.
Every time Zhu Sheng heard it, he felt embarrassed.
After listening, Gu Chiye usually said nothing.
Zhu Sheng thought he was indifferent to these scandals.
But I didn't expect that this guy actually took those words to heart and secretly worked out hard to improve his charm.
"Hey, am I that superficial? I am a career-oriented woman now, I won't be easily taken advantage of by some young hunk."
This was Zhu Sheng's reply at the time, but Gu Chiye still did not slack off at all.
Over time, Zhu Sheng got used to the other person in this exclusive VIP room.
After seeing Zhu Sheng coming in, Gu Chiye immediately stopped the treadmill.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and greeted Zhu Sheng with a smile.
"I thought you were going to be at the celebration party until late today and didn't have time to come here."
"Hey, there have been several celebration parties this month, and it's always the same group of people. In the end, they just want to find an excuse to drink and party."
Zhu Sheng was doing warm-up exercises while chatting with Gu Chiye.
"I plan to send this new film to several foreign film festivals for review, and hope that if it wins, I can let you hold a few celebration parties."
"Thank you for your help. Thank you from everyone."
"Of course I am one of the investors. The more awards the film wins, the greater the profit for the company."
The two chatted for a while.
Then, Zhu Sheng picked up the dumbbell and started today's strength training.
A lot has happened in these years.
Director Li Ping, who had always been very optimistic about himself, teamed up with the famous screenwriter Yan Xue to make a movie about the apocalyptic wasteland.
Unfortunately, the cost of filming was too high, and science fiction is generally a very popular genre in China, so it took a long time to attract actors and investment.
However, the heroine of this movie was decided to be Zhu Sheng from the beginning, and they insisted on not replacing anyone else.
They told all the investors that the script was written around Zhu Sheng and there was no other female actress in the country who could play the role except her.
Not only that, Li Ping also said that if Zhu Sheng was not willing to act, he would not bother looking for investment and would just give up the project.
After receiving the invitation, Zhu Sheng read the entire script while lying in bed that night.
It was dawn when she finished watching it, and her pillowcase was mostly wet from her tears.
For a moment, Zhu Sheng even wanted to call Yan Xue and ask her if she was also a person who traveled through the book.
How come it is so similar to the world she once lived in.
However, Yan Xue gave this world a happy ending.
Finally, mankind found the Garden of Eden, and the world had new hope.
The next day, Zhu Sheng came to the agency with swollen eyes and signed the contract for the female lead without saying a word.
Soon, Gu Group invested heavily in this film.
Soon after, some old friends joined in.
Shen Jing became the second female lead in the film, and He Yao served as the film's art director.
Bai Xuan's eyes were full of rage, and she begged to join in.
Yan Xue came up with an idea. She brought her lovely son to play a cameo role as a mother and son fleeing from war in the movie.
The mother and son expressed their true feelings, and the result of the filming was unexpectedly good. Even Zhu Sheng couldn't help but suggest that Bai Xuan change her career after watching it.
The film took about a year and a half to shoot, followed by another half a year of post-production.
When it was released, it caused a nationwide sensation.
The cinemas were packed, the box office was rising, and the film was winning numerous awards both at home and abroad.
In the beginning, everyone would get together to celebrate when they won a big award or when the box office exceeded a few hundred million.
Later, this happened too often and the celebration party gradually evolved into a gathering of friends.
Zhu Sheng suddenly became the most popular actress in the country.
But overall, she still plans to focus on action scenes in the future, so fitness is also one of her daily routines.
Right now, the only sound in the gym is the friction of fitness equipment.
Neither of them is the talkative type, and most of the time when they meet, there is not much to talk about.
However, Zhu Sheng quite enjoyed this kind of atmosphere.
Even if they didn't communicate much, as long as they were in the same room and could hear each other's breathing, she would feel inexplicably at peace.
In the past few years, Gu Chiye confessed to her several times, but Zhu Sheng just laughed it off every time.
Even though he was rejected many times, Gu Chiye did not get discouraged and still showed up on time in every corner of her life, the gym being one of them.
In fact, Zhu Sheng already had the answer in his heart.
Gu Chiye has long become an indelible existence in her life.
As for whether to call this feeling love or friendship, it no longer matters to her.
A lifetime of companionship is the best proof.
