Chapter 145 The Unfounded Personal Studio
Lin Manxi clenched her fists, the newly done crystal nails digging painfully into her palms.
But in her heart, the pain of watching the man she loved being kind to someone else was a hundred times worse than the pain in her palms at that moment.
"Luo Jia... but you forced me to do this!"
Using the excuse of going to the restroom, Lin Manxi turned around and left the banquet hall.
On stage, after congratulating Gu Yishen, the host asked him the question that everyone had been curious about for a long time.
"Congratulations again to Actor Gu for winning our auction item. However, it seems you didn't bid in your own name, Actor Gu?"
Gu Yishen was invited to the stage, and he maintained a polite smile on his face.
Taking the microphone from the hostess, Gu Yishen slowly began to speak.
"Yes, the bidding just now was not in my personal name; I bid on behalf of Jiayi Studio."
"Then may I ask, Mr. Gu, is this Jiayi Studio... a company under your name? But as far as we know, Mr. Gu, you don't seem to have any entertainment company of your own."
"Of course, I've already signed with Sega Entertainment, so how could I possibly start my own business behind the company's back?"
As Gu Yishen spoke, he glanced at the host beside him.
The host clearly understood that Gu Yishen had figured out he was deliberately asking such a tricky question, and could only give an awkward smile.
"The owner of Jiayi Studio is Luo Jia. I just invested a little money and became a shareholder because I am very optimistic about the prospects of this studio."
Gu Yishen did not make things difficult for the host, but patiently added more details.
Upon hearing Gu Yishen's words, everyone present suddenly realized what was going on.
See? I told you Gu Yishen must have filmed this project for Luo Jia.
But... when did Luo Jia set up his own studio? And Jing Ting doesn't care?
Not only were the celebrities and socialites attending the party bewildered, but Luo Jiayin herself was also dumbfounded.
Yeah! When the hell did she start her own studio?!
She herself had no idea!
Luo Jiayin turned her gaze to Ye Jian.
Could it be that this kid secretly did it in her name sometime ago?
As soon as Ye Jian sensed Luo Jiayin's questioning gaze, he immediately shook his head and waved his hands, as if afraid that Luo Jiayin would think he wanted to "embezzle" her property.
Luo Jiayin thought about it and realized that it couldn't possibly be Yami.
Even if he wanted to set up some kind of company to cover his tracks, he wouldn't just openly register it under her name, Luo Jiayin.
Luo Jiayin then looked at Yu Jiu.
Yu Jiu immediately understood and quickly took out his phone, starting to type rapidly.
After a short while, Yu Jiu looked up at Luo Jiayin, leaned close to her ear, and whispered:
“I have already contacted the company, and Sister Mei said that this studio is not operated by the company.”
"Sister Mei has already explained the situation to Lao Wang. Lao Wang's idea is that you can do whatever you want; the company won't restrict you. If you need money, he can help you get investment..."
"..." Luo Jiayin was both amused and exasperated upon hearing Yu Jiu's report.
Old Wang is really bold. His own artist secretly started his own business, and the boss not only didn't investigate, but even helped him find investors to support him...
What kind of amazing boss did she end up with...?
However, Lao Wang's reaction also suggests that the studio probably has nothing to do with him.
Moreover, as Sister Mei just said, it wasn't orchestrated by the company.
It couldn't have been something Gu Yishen just made up on the spot, could it...?
Holy crap, how dare he do that? In this kind of setting, to try and fool the Song Group and all these influential figures from various sectors present.
If they had known better, the Song Group wouldn't be stupid. They would have definitely verified that Gu Yishen had bid under the name "Jiayi Studio" after the auction.
If he wants to film, he can film; why drag me into it?
This is such a headache!
Luo Jiayin rolled her eyes at Gu Yishen on the stage without any politeness.
Gu Yishen, however, did not take it seriously and instead responded to Luo Jiayin with a friendly smile.
Lin Manxi, who happened to be returning from outside, witnessed this scene.
The media outlets at the entrance frantically snapped photos, some even immediately notifying their editorial departments and already coming up with headlines:
Gu Yishen and Luo Jia are confirmed; their doting gazes reveal their true feelings.
Lin Manxi frowned, listening to the media around her discussing Gu Yishen and Luo Jia as if they were watching a good show, which made her face turn ashen with anger.
Gu Yishen nodded to the crowd again before stepping off the stage.
As soon as Gu Yishen sat down, he felt a forceful bump on the arm closest to Luo Jiayin.
Gu Yishen turned his head slightly and saw Luo Jiayin's angry expression with furrowed brows.
"Gu Yishen, what are you doing! I don't have any studio at all!"
Luo Jiayin kept her voice as low as possible, not wanting the other guests to hear what they were saying, so as to avoid it getting out and causing unnecessary conflicts and disputes.
"No, I told the organizers that I invested in your studio."
Gu Yishen remained calm.
"You're talking nonsense! I don't have any studio!" Luo Jiayin was speechless.
This guy truly deserves to be called an Oscar winner; his incredibly realistic acting skills are comparable to those of an Oscar-winning actor.
"Otherwise, have your friend check to see if you really have a personal studio under your name."
Gu Yishen raised an eyebrow, looked at her confidently, and suggested with a smile.
As she spoke, with Luo Jiayin and Yu Jiu standing between them, she glanced in Ye Jian's direction.
Now it was Luo Jiayin's turn to be stunned.
This guy... why would he say something that Yami should investigate...?
"You..." Luo Jiayin was speechless with anger and suddenly didn't know how to respond.
Ye Jian, who had been silently observing Luo Jiayin and Gu Yishen's conversation, turned her head away somewhat uncomfortably when Gu Yishen suddenly called on her.
Despite the awkwardness, Gu Yishen's words still enlightened Ye Jian.
He immediately began investigating the matter of Luo Jiayin's personal studio.
When Luo Jiayin saw Ye Jian make a move, her heart pounded with anxiety.
Could they have actually started some kind of random studio...?
If it were true, she couldn't imagine what kind of extraordinary person could be able to establish a studio in her own name without anyone noticing, while simultaneously keeping it a secret from Jingting Entertainment, Yejian, Heifu, and even herself.
What could this person's purpose be...?
Gu Yishen seemed to have seen through Luo Jiayin's thoughts, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
