Volume 1 Chapter 2 See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau
Zhu Sheng slept soundly on the soft bed in the hospital all night.
The next morning, she was awakened by a phone call.
After the call was connected, she simply played the call while choosing clothes to wear when going out.
"Zhu Sheng, I have some bad news."
On the other end of the phone came the depressed voice of agent Xu Yun.
"It's okay, Sister Yun, go ahead."
From what I could remember, this agent was very supportive of the original owner. He often helped her clean up her mess and even advised her to get a divorce in private several times.
Xu Yun sighed: "After the last live broadcast, you were listed as a high-risk artist by the public relations departments of several companies.
Whether it is the brands that he has already endorsed or the ones that he is currently approaching for endorsements, it will probably be difficult to keep them.
In addition, the role in the costume drama that I had agreed to play was replaced by someone else, so it seems that it will be difficult for me to find a new job in the short term."
Halfway through her speech, Xu Yun could no longer suppress her anger: "I repeatedly assured you that you just lost control of your emotions for a moment and that everything will be fine after the divorce, but the other party just didn't want to listen.
To put it bluntly, they see that you are not Mrs. Gu anymore, so they are unwilling to give you face. You are a bunch of snobbish people!"
Hearing Xu Yun defending her, Zhu Sheng couldn't help laughing: "I thought it was a big deal, Sister Yun, don't be angry, I have hands and feet, I won't starve to death."
"Please be more restrained during this period and don't be as extravagant as before. I will also try my best to help you find an announcement that you can appear in."
"Sorry to bother you, Sister Yun."
"Well, it's your job. It's not all bad right now. You took the initiative to file for divorce, which means you have regained some of the initiative. You have to perform well in this divorce variety show."
"Sister Yun, don't worry, I know what's going on."
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Sheng finally picked out a set of convenient sportswear from a pile of complicated and gorgeous clothes. After changing, he left the hospital in high spirits.
The Civil Affairs Bureau is only five kilometers away from the hospital, so there is just enough time to run there.
She did this not only to exercise her body, but also to experience the customs and practices of this world for herself.
It was eight in the morning, and the main road was filled with hurried commuters.
When she arrived at the subway station, she had to give up running because there were too many people and just went with the flow of the crowd.
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the bustling crowd.
"Quick! Catch the thief!"
The voice came from a lady in a business suit. She was wearing high heels and sprained her ankle after running a few steps. But she still refused to give up. She took off her shoes and stumbled barefoot to catch up.
Following the direction of the chase, a panicked man can be seen holding a women's tote bag that clearly does not belong to him.
Hearing the woman's screams, the man became anxious and rushed through the crowd recklessly.
Several kind-hearted people passing by tried to stop the thief, but they all failed and were knocked to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhu Sheng joined the team to catch the thief without hesitation.
Some kind-hearted people spontaneously formed a circle to trap the thief.
Seeing that the distance between the two men was getting shorter and shorter, the thief, unwilling to surrender, pulled out a knife from his pocket and swung it around desperately, forcing the people nearby to disperse.
Among the crowd, only Zhu Sheng ignored the threat of the knife and continued to approach the man.
"Little girl, he has a knife in his hand."
A kind-hearted lady warned: "Don't take risks. If someone calls 110, the police will be here soon."
"It's okay. I can handle it."
Zhu Shengyun's calm answer angered the thief again.
With a ferocious look in his eyes and full of rage, he stabbed straight at Zhu Sheng.
Zhu Sheng stood still, and when the knife was about to approach, he gently leaned sideways and nimbly dodged the knife. Then he turned around, grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted it hard.
With a scream, the thief's right hand was dislocated and he lost his grip immediately, and the knife fell to the ground with a "pa ta".
The man was startled, and tried to take advantage of the opportunity when he fell to reach out for the knife, but when he was about to reach it, he was kicked away by Zhu Sheng.
The several uncles who were watching were not to be outdone. They stepped forward to help and together they subdued the thief.
Finally, the thief was unable to move and had to give up the struggle.
"good!"
There was applause from the surroundings, and soon the police arrived and took the thief into the police car.
The lady who found her lost property was so excited that she almost cried, and she pulled Zhu Sheng to thank him repeatedly.
"If I hadn't met you, I really don't know what I would have done."
Zhu Sheng waved his hands. Compared with the zombies in the wasteland, subduing a thief was just a trivial matter.
She wanted to say a few more words of comfort, but when she looked up, she saw that the clock on the wall of the mall had already pointed to 9 o'clock.
“It’s so late?!”
She screamed, turned around, plunged into the crowd, and ran towards the Civil Affairs Bureau.
…
At the same time, a Rolls-Royce was parked in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Gu Chiye sat in the back seat, handling his work while listening to Secretary Li's report.
"Boss Gu, you have to be careful. After waking up, that woman has become even more mentally unstable. Who knows what outrageous behavior she will do today."
Whenever Secretary Li talks about Mr. Gu’s marriage, he looks heartbroken.
The only black spot on Mr. Gu is that he married such a plague.
This actress, using the title of Mrs. Gu, acted arrogantly and domineeringly outside, offending countless people. Wherever she went, people would complain to Mr. Gu.
"But don't worry, I have secretly arranged several groups of bodyguards nearby. No matter what she plots, we can deal with it immediately."
Gu Chiye listened expressionlessly without making any response.
No matter how Zhu Sheng behaved, he always had absolute dominance in their relationship.
This was originally a family marriage. The cooperation between the two families has ended, and no one cares about this marriage anymore.
What's more, Zhu Sheng was not favored in her natal family. As long as she was given enough benefits, no one in the Zhu family would stand up for her.
Whether married or divorced, she is just a pawn that can be discarded at any time.
In the blink of an eye, it was 9 o'clock. Gu Chiye got off the bus on time, but Zhu Sheng was nowhere to be seen.
Standing in front of the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Gu Chiye was wearing an exquisite suit with a soft texture, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
His eyebrows were long and thick, like two sharp swords. Under his straight nose, his long lips were raised in a slightly sarcastic sneer.
This woman actually dared to let him go?
Every time they met in the past, she was always submissive and trying her best to please him, but now she actually dared to let him stand here and wait.
"Wait for the last 5 minutes." Gu Chiye said coldly.
…
Hidden in the corner of the Civil Affairs Bureau is a group of photographers from the popular divorce variety show "We Are Divorced".
When they heard that the two were going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce, Director Kong from the program team decided on the spot to send someone to the scene to secretly film them.
Such good popularity cannot be wasted!
15 minutes ago, the program team released the live broadcast link on Weibo.
Sure enough, the farce a few days ago attracted a lot of people's attention. Although it was a weekday morning, the number of spectators suddenly exceeded hundreds of thousands.
The program crew thought they had hidden it well, but who knew that as soon as filming started, they were discovered by Gu Chiye's bodyguards.
After Director Kong's much persuasion, Gu Chiye finally agreed to the live broadcast. After all, if Zhu Sheng went crazy, leaving a certificate would also be beneficial for divorce.
In a blink of an eye, it was 9 o'clock, but Zhu Sheng had not arrived yet.
Not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room, even Director Kong became anxious.
[What can I say? How can Zhu be willing to divorce? I am squatting in the live broadcast room like a fool. ]
[Tsk tsk, she looked so confident, I thought she had really given up this time.]
[She is a female star after all, but her words are like farts and she is untrustworthy. Who would dare to work with her in the future?]
[I'm not saying this, Mr. Gu is so handsome and so rich, I wouldn't want to leave him either.]
However, amidst the dense barrage of comments, there were a few discordant notes.
[Just now it became a hot search, a woman subdued a thief with a knife on Gulin Road early in the morning, why do I feel that the person looks like Zhu Sheng? 】
[I also saw that the owner took the initiative to show up on Weibo, trying to find the brave young lady. ]
[They look a bit alike, but Zhu Sheng always goes out in a luxury car and dressed up in fancy clothes. How could he walk on the street in sportswear?]
[How could Zhu Sheng be so skilled? The thief had a knife in his hand! ]
Some viewers turned to the trending searches and clicked on the video to recognize the people.
The video is not very clear. All we can see is a strong woman in black sportswear who quickly grabbed the knife and subdued the thief.
The bullet screen in the live broadcast room and the comments on the hot searches were all noisy, and only Gu Chiye seemed to have sensed something.
Looking up, I saw a black figure appearing at the end of the street.
