I don’t know if it’s because Gu Yunfei became famous at a young age, so he is quite arrogant. Even when facing the roar of director Zou Long, he remained calm and looked very unruly.
The rather troublesome Gu Yunfei made Zou Long so angry that his face turned red, and the whole crew was in chaos for a while.
However, at this moment, Gu Yunfei, who was the focus of the whole scene, suddenly left the furious Zou Long and the agent who was trying to persuade them, and lazily left the arguing crowd and walked in another direction.
Gu Yunfei walked casually with big strides, but his goal was very clear, and he walked straight towards Ning Chuchu in the corner.
For a moment, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them.
Soon, Gu Yunfei stood in front of Ning Chuchu.
At this time, Ning Chuchu was leaning back and forth in a recliner, with a coat draped over her knees and a script in her hands. On the small table beside her was a cup of wolfberry water. She looked very relaxed and at ease.
"Are you Ning Chuchu?" Gu Yunfei looked down at the half-lying Ning Chuchu, his brows slightly frowned, his handsome pale face was cold, as if he was looking for trouble.
Facing Gu Yunfei's unfriendly questioning, Ning Chuchu still leaned leisurely on the recliner, with a kind of calmness that made her remain motionless.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed across her narrow and charming peach blossom eyes, but the curve of her lips was light and gentle. She calmed down and spoke:
"What's up?"
Gu Yunfei came to her in a dignified manner and asked her if she was Ning Chuchu. Ning Chuchu, on the other hand, neither stood up to greet him, and even her reply was so impolite.
The question "Is there something?" was thrown directly at Gu Yunfei's face, and he was even more arrogant than the prickly Gu Yunfei.
Ning Chuchu was clearly sitting and Gu Yunfei was standing, but when their auras came out, it seemed as if Ning Chuchu was looking down on the other from a superior position.
Ning Chuchu never thought that she was just watching a show, but she would be implicated.
She is a person who is always willing to be kind to others, but if others don't respect her, why should she be nice to them?
To be honest, Ning Chuchu has encountered many big scenes since she was tied to the truth system. It is just that the embarrassment and questioning of a traffic idol can not scare her at all.
Therefore, even though Gu Yunfei was so rude, even though Zou Long and other crew members were staring at her with gossip, Ning Chuchu did not seem uncomfortable at all, and was even very calm and tough.
Ning Chuchu felt that she had been conditioned by the truth system. Now she was used to doing whatever she wanted and speaking freely. When she encountered difficulties from others, her first reaction was to fight back firmly. She was no longer lazy to play tricks like before.
So, when Gu Yunfei asked her the question in a domineering manner, Ning Chuchu didn't give him any face at all and stabbed back neither softly nor hard.
Hearing this, Gu Yunfei was obviously startled. His expression suddenly became strange. He looked at Ning Chuchu inquiringly, as if he was very surprised by her attitude.
Ning Chuchu lazily leaned on the recliner, with an air of calmness and composure that made her look like a lowly gangster who was not worthy of being in public.
Gu Yunfei quickly came to his senses, looked down at her, snorted, and asked, "Don't you know me?"
Ning Chuchu: “…”
She looked at Gu Yunfei with strange eyes, seriously suspecting that he was not smart enough.
Fortunately, he has a strong background, otherwise, not long after his debut, he would have been put in a sack just because he deserved a beating. Ning Chuchu complained inwardly.
In front of so many people, Ning Chuchu still cared about her image, so she suppressed her anger and said with a faint smile: "I know him. I have heard Mr. Gu's songs."
It just doesn't sound good. Ning Chuchu silently swallowed the second half of the truth.
Gu Yunfei frowned, looking very dissatisfied. He asked unhappily, "What else?"
Ning Chuchu's expression paused, her eyes narrowed dangerously, and she asked softly, "What?"
Gu Yunfei's face was full of irritability. He scratched his hair impatiently, ruffling his red hair into a mess, and asked again in a cold voice: "Besides being a singer, don't you know my other identities?"
Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows playfully, and she slammed the script in her hand shut. She felt a fire rising in her heart, and the expression on her face turned into a stern smile.
Are you trying to take advantage of me? Ning Chuchu sneered.
Ning Chuchu stood up gracefully from the recliner. She was a head shorter than Gu Yunfei, but when she crossed her arms over her chest and glanced at him sideways, she always gave people a sense of superiority and oppression.
Ning Chuchu was wearing the costume of the Holy Maiden of Divine Sound, which was seductive, gorgeous, and extremely beautiful.
She raised her chin slightly, looked Gu Yunfei up and down with a cold and arrogant look, and asked with a sneer, "Your other identity? Should I know?"
Without waiting for Gu Yunfei to speak again, Ning Chuchu touched her chin thoughtfully, and said meaningfully with her red lips curled, "Could it be... that there is a fugitive in the entertainment industry?"
Gu Yunfei: “……?”
Onlookers: "..."
Ning Chuchu glanced at his slightly dangerous hairline and sparse hairline again, and stabbed him in the chest again with a cold look, "It's still that kind of chicken feather duster that has been used until it's half bald."
Gu Yunfei: “……?!”
Onlookers: “…Pfft.”
Gu Yunfei suddenly became so angry that his face turned red, his thin chest heaved violently, and his red hair trembled slightly.
The crew members who had been paying attention to them had to try very hard not to laugh out loud when they heard Ning Chuchu's gossip.
The assistant director, who was trying his best to support Zou Long, suddenly noticed that his subordinate relaxed. He looked closely and found that Zou Long had changed his angry look and was looking at Ning Chuchu with a smile.
Zou Long was smiling widely, and every strand of his beard revealed his happy mood.
He had just been very angry with Gu Yunfei, and now seeing Gu Yunfei's face flushed, he just felt like letting out a breath of anger and felt extremely happy.
As expected of the Saint of Divine Sound that he had chosen, when she started scolding people, she was really...
It is like hearing heavenly music and your ears are suddenly enlightened!
Gu Yunfei's pale and handsome face was red and blue, and the color was more colorful than his hair. He took several deep breaths, then stared at him and asked coldly, "Who are you scolding?"
"Hmm?" Ning Chuchu tilted her head, a serious look of confusion appeared on her face, "Is the chicken feather duster talking?"
Gu Yunfei: “…” Damn.
Seeing that he was so angry that his face looked ugly and he could no longer maintain that cold and arrogant look, Ning Chuchu curled the corners of her lips with satisfaction.
Haha, she just can’t stand others showing off in front of her.
Ning Chuchu finished her speech happily, her mood gradually calmed down, and she sat back on the recliner.
She propped her chin with one hand, glanced at Gu Yunfei boredly, and said coldly: "Is there anything else? If not, hurry up and leave."
"If you have something to do, you'd better leave." Ning Chuchu waved her hand with a hint of disdain, "You're blocking the light, and it's affecting my ability to read the script."
Gu Yunfei was furious. He glared at her angrily, gritted his teeth, and asked again, "You really don't know who I am?"
Ning Chuchu frowned slightly, really not understanding why he was so obsessed with this issue.
Is this Gu Yunfei some great figure? Why must she know?
Ning Chuchu crossed her arms, looked up at him coldly, and said with a half-smile: "Instead of spending your free time here talking nonsense, you might as well listen to Director Zou and quickly shave off that chicken hair... no, red hair."
Ning Chuchu blinked in a sincere manner and said seriously, "Perhaps you have heard of the phrase 'to conceal one's own intentions is to conceal one's intentions'?"
"You're going to be bald anyway, so you might as well shave it off. Otherwise... the few strands of hair you have left will be exhausted from struggling like this."
Gu Yunfei became more and more angry as he listened. His anger was constantly accumulating. Just before he was about to explode, Ning Chuchu touched her chin and continued, "Besides... I heard that the new hair will be healthier after shaving it off."
"You're already like this, why not give it a try by shaving it off?"
Ning Chuchu's original intention was to squeeze this arrogant and rude young man, but Gu Yunfei was stunned for a moment. He frowned and thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "...Really?"
Ning Chuchu: “…” He won’t believe it, right?
Ning Chuchu twitched the corners of her mouth and resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
This guy doesn't look very smart, and it would be embarrassing for her to compete with him.
Thinking of this, Ning Chuchu suddenly lost interest in arguing with him, and didn't even bother to give him a glance. She just picked up the script and read it carefully, not bothering to pay attention to this inexplicable mess.
Gu Yunfei seemed to be deeply touched by her words, and stood there for a long time thinking. Then, this hot-tempered young master did not care about Ning Chuchu's ridicule, but turned around and walked back thoughtfully.
After returning to the side of the agent and Director Zou, Gu Yunfei glanced at them indifferently, put on his arrogant attitude, and said in a calm voice: "Let's go."
Zou Long's face turned dark instantly, and his heart was also covered with a layer of gloom. He sneered: "Hurry up, my crew doesn't need you."
Gu Yunfei's agent was sweating profusely, repeatedly apologizing to Zou Long, and then grabbed Gu Yunfei's arm and advised earnestly: "You can't leave, Yunfei! We have signed the contract, just finish the performance obediently, okay?"
Gu Yunfei sneered and said nonchalantly, "I didn't say I was leaving the crew."
The agent kept on persuading her: "This is a rare opportunity, you must seize it... Ah? You don't plan to leave?"
The agent showed a look of joy, but then he hesitated and asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Gu Yunfei snorted unhappily, "Go get a haircut."
After saying this, he ignored the surprised looks of the agent and Director Zou and ran to the dressing room to get his head shaved and transformed.
Ning Chuchu, who noticed this, felt very confused. Could it be that this guy really went to get a haircut just because of her words of persuasion?
Compared to Ning Chuchu's speechless expression, Gu Yunfei's agent was simply delighted.
While his artist was getting his hair cut and put on makeup, the agent took Zou Long's hand and sincerely apologized for his artist while saying all the good things about him.
After all, Gu Yunfei was someone the investors had inserted, and he had a very strong background. Since the other party was willing to cooperate, and the broker had done enough to show his attitude, Zou Long reluctantly stepped down from the stage, saying unhappily, "This will not be a precedent."
After saying that, Zou Long no longer paid any attention to Gu Yunfei and his agent, but walked over to Ning Chuchu in person.
Ning Chuchu couldn't be disrespectful to Director Zou like she did to Gu Yunfei. She immediately stood up from the recliner and greeted him politely and gently, "Hello, Director Zou."
Director Zou usually has a hot temper on the set, which scares everyone into not daring to speak. However, at this moment, he was very friendly and even his voice was much softer. "Xiao Ning, are you used to being on the set?"
Ning Chuchu was a little overwhelmed and smiled sweetly, "I'm used to it. Everyone takes good care of me."
"That's good." Zou Long stroked his beard with satisfaction and said gently, "If you have any questions about acting in the future, feel free to ask me."
Ning Chuchu's eyes lit up instantly. She showed a genuine smile of surprise, nodded seriously, and said, "Thank you, Director Zou. I will definitely learn from you seriously."
"Just don't find me annoying when the time comes." Ning Chuchu joked, livening up the atmosphere.
Zou Long, who was always stern and unkind, was particularly tolerant towards Ning Chuchu. Hearing this, he waved his hand generously and promised, "Ask me any questions you have. I will tell you everything I know."
The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Zou Long went back to continue coordinating the work of the crew.
Ning Chuchu silently watched him leave, then walked briskly back to her seat and squinted her eyes happily.
She habitually shared her feelings with the system: "Sure enough, when I tell the truth, good luck is everywhere."
Ning Chuchu curled her lips in pride: "I just casually taught a lesson to a non-mainstream male idol who was too arrogant, but I actually gained Zou Long's favor because of it. This is really a good plan."
Gu Yunfei had provoked her first without any hesitation, but Ning Chuchu didn't feel any psychological pressure at all when she confronted him.
After a series of insults, she not only vented her anger, but also laughed at Gu Yunfei's jokes. In the end, she even made the most important director in the crew appreciate her. This was simply a good deal with huge profits!
Ning Chuchu is an ambitious person.
Although her popularity is now at its peak, she has always been sober.
She knows that this kind of popularity is only temporary, it comes quickly and fades quickly. If she really wants to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, she still needs to rely on solid strength and excellent works.
Ning Chuchu cherishes this opportunity to work with Zou Long. She will definitely learn a lot from working with such an internationally renowned director.
Ning Chuchu never misses any opportunity to improve herself.
Hearing Ning Chuchu's sigh, the system agreed politely: "Yes! Zou Long treated you badly at the beginning, and it was because of me that he gradually changed his attitude towards you!"
Ning Chuchu snorted twice and didn't respond to his words.
This system is so cunning that it would be so proud of itself if you praised it.
After a while, Gu Yunfei walked out of the dressing room, and everyone's eyes were instantly focused on his... bald head.
Ning Chuchu raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him with interest.
This irritating kid actually shaved his head obediently?
Without that ostentatious and messy red hair, Gu Yunfei looked much more pleasing to the eye than before.
Gu Yunfei has a round head and a high forehead. After shaving his head, his handsome and delicate features are highlighted. Looking fair and clean, he finally has the clear and handsome boyish feeling of his age.
Unfortunately, he ruined the wonderful atmosphere as soon as he opened his mouth.
Gu Yunfei said with a sour face: "If I become ugly because of shaving my head, will it be considered a work injury?"
Seeing that Zou Long's blood pressure was about to rise again, Ning Chuchu spoke up at the right time: "For you, shaving your head is equivalent to plastic surgery, right?"
After saying this, Ning Chuchu smiled knowingly.
See, the truth system agrees with her.
It seems she is right. :)
Gu Yunfei: “…”
After stumbling again, Gu Yunfei glared at Ning Chuchu angrily. He knew he couldn't win an argument with this sharp-tongued woman, so he simply turned his head away and didn't look at her.
After the most troublesome Gu Yunfei was dealt with, the crew immediately got things moving.
Ning Chuchu cheered up and put all her heart and soul into playing the role of the Holy Lady of Divine Sound. She took Zou Long's every instruction to heart and adjusted her acting style in a timely manner.
Even when she didn't have a role to play, Ning Chuchu would watch attentively from the side and learn from other people's performances.
After a whole day of shooting, Ning Chuchu was exhausted physically and mentally, but she felt extremely satisfied in her heart. This feeling of constantly enriching herself, although tiring, is wonderful.
After the filming was finished that day, Ning Chuchu planned to stay directly in the hotel booked by the crew.
She was almost exhausted, but she didn't have the energy to go back to Love Shack to record another round of variety shows.
Just as she was about to go back to the hotel, Gu Yunfei blocked her way again.
Gu Yunfei, with his shiny head and sword-like brows knitted, asked unhappily, "You really don't know who I am?"
Ning Chuchu: “…” Neurosis.
She rolled her eyes gracefully and walked right past him, not bothering to pay any attention to him.
Gu Yunfei glared at her back angrily and gritted his teeth in hatred.
After returning to the room, Ning Chuchu took a quick shower. Just as she was lying on the bed drowsy, her cell phone rang.
She frowned slightly, forced herself to stand up, and reached for her cell phone.
When she saw the caller ID on the screen, she was slightly stunned, and an expression of surprise and joy instantly appeared on her face.
She immediately picked up the phone and couldn't wait to shout, "Mom!"
"Chu Chu, how have you been lately?" A gentle and clear female voice sounded, moistening Ning Chu Chu's heart like a stream, "Mom went to Country M for closed-door training a month ago, and only now has she had the opportunity to contact the outside world."
"I just learned about what you've been through... Hey, Chuchu, how are you now? It's very difficult to live under the public eye, otherwise you should not stay in the entertainment industry..." Her voice was filled with heartache and worry.
"I'm fine now, Mom!" Ning Chuchu said in a cheerful tone, "It was a long time ago that I was blacklisted by the entire Internet. Now I have turned the tide and become the most popular female star in the entertainment industry!"
In front of her caring mother, Ning Chuchu was used to reporting good news but not sorrow. She only told her how well her life was. As for the pain and sadness that tormented her late at night, she never revealed a single thing to her mother.
Hearing her daughter's happy tone, the person on the other end of the phone did not feel relieved. After a long time, she let out a soft sigh.
She knows everything.
Hearing her mother's sigh, Ning Chuchu was silent for a moment, but soon she perked up and continued to care about her mother.
"Mom, how is your life in Country M? Are you used to it?"
"It's OK, but the food is not very appetizing."
“Is there anything to gain from studying there?”
"Of course, the rewards are great..."
Ning Chuchu's mother is Tan Qingzhu, one of the best psychology experts in the country and is well-known internationally.
A few years ago, the old patriarch of the old wealthy Xie family personally invited Tan Qingzhu to cure his autistic young son. Tan Qingzhu spent several years, almost living and eating with the autistic young man, and expended countless efforts before he gradually got better.
It was the good relationship formed by Tan Qingzhu that allowed Ning Chuchu to have such a high-ranking and golden-legged fiancé as Xie Jinqiu.
Therefore, after the mother and daughter chatted for a while, they naturally mentioned Xie Jinqiu.
"By the way, Chu Chu." Tan Qingzhu asked gently, "How is your relationship with Jin Qiu?"
Ning Chuchu blurted out: "I can barely bear it."
Tan Qingzhu: “……???”
Ning Chuchu: “…”
Oops! When she was in front of her mother, she always emphasized that she had a good relationship with Xie Jinqiu and that she loved Xie Jinqiu very much, but now she accidentally let it slip...
If Tan Qingzhu knew that she actually had no relationship with Xie Jinqiu, she might want to get them to break off their engagement!
When the old patriarch of the Xie family proposed a marriage, Tan Qingzhu rejected it outright. She always respected her daughter's opinion and naturally would not arrange a marriage for her.
After Ning Chuchu learned about Xie Jinqiu's family background, she took the initiative to tell Tan Qingzhu that she liked Xie Jinqiu and wanted to be with him. Only then did Tan Qingzhu agree to the engagement.
Ning Chuchu rubbed her eyebrows with a headache and tried to save her: "Ahem... I mean, Xie Jinqiu is handsome and has a good family background. He is a good marriage partner. I am very satisfied."
There was no way, she could only tell the truth now.
It is impossible for Tan Qingzhu to tell Tan Qingzhu that she likes Xie Jinqiu. She can only praise Xie Jinqiu from the side to express her satisfaction with this fiancé.
Tan Qingzhu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is it just because...he is a good marriage partner?"
Tan Qingzhu hit the nail on the head. To put it more bluntly, she hasn't asked yet: Are you engaged to Xie Jinqiu just because he is suitable for you, not because you like him?
Ning Chuchu understood the hidden meaning of her words and was silent for a moment.
She knew the answer to this question very well, but she couldn't say it in front of Tan Qingzhu.
No matter what, she still needs this marriage partner now.
"Oh, Chuchu..." Tan Qingzhu sighed softly, his tone filled with sympathy and concern that could not be concealed.
"Mom!" Ning Chuchu quickly interrupted her and forced a smile, "When you come back from abroad, remember to bring me a gift."
She knew what her mother wanted to say. It was nothing more than to advise her to let go of her obsession and look forward.
But Ning Chuchu couldn't let go, nor did she want to let go.
Ning Guangzhong, Yun Shu and Yun Yirou, they joined forces to destroy her childhood and created a lifelong nightmare for her.
She would make them pay!
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Tan Qingzhu's gentle and helpless voice came over, "Okay."
The mother and daughter tacitly avoided the topic.
"…By the way, your Aunt Gu called me a few days ago and said she wanted to get together with me when I returned to China." Tan Qingzhu said.
"Aunt Gu?" Ning Chuchu thought for a moment and readily agreed, "Okay."
The "Aunt Gu" mentioned by Tan Qingzhu is Xie Jinqiu's mother and the wife of the Xie family. She has a very good relationship with Tan Qingzhu, and she takes good care of her future daughter-in-law. It is appropriate to get together with such an elder.
"I'll contact Aunt Gu in two days..." Ning Chuchu was talking when she suddenly stopped.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she murmured, "Aunt Gu...Gu?"
"Mom!" Ning Chuchu asked eagerly, "Xie Jinqiu's surname is Gu, right?"
Tan Qingzhu: "..." What's wrong with this kid? Is he stupid?
Ning Chuchu's face showed a sudden enlightenment: "I think I know who Gu Yunfei is!"
