Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Chapter 57
The two said "good night" to each other and ended the call. On the way back, Gu Ting was no longer drunk, but he was in a particularly good mood. It was not known whether it was because he suspected that he had picked up ambergris, or for other reasons.
Inside Xiao Fugui's villa, a group of people were preparing to go back to their rooms to rest after having a good meal and a drink. When they saw Gu Ting coming back, his eyes were particularly bright. After greeting him, he went straight into the kitchen, seemingly impatient. Some people couldn't help but come over to take a look out of curiosity.
"Sister Ting, why are you cutting a stone?" The netizen named Tomato Fried Bullet couldn't help asking.
Gu Ting waved at him, "Do you have a lighter? Help me light the powder on the table!"
The tomato-fried bullets responded without a hitch. He pulled a lighter from his jeans and lit it. As the powder burned, a unique aroma wafted up. At first, it was a woody aroma mixed with sweet amber. As it lingered, the flavor became more varied, like flowers, medicine, and musk...
Gu Ting closed his eyes, and for a moment he felt as if he was in the midst of thousands of flowers in spring, with a unique and lingering fragrance lingering around his nose.
The aroma was so unique, long-lasting and lingering that soon people outside the kitchen came over, sniffing in the aroma.
"What smells so good? It smells so good."
"It's a natural fragrance that can't be created with perfume, and it's refreshing."
"I'm sure I'll have a good sleep tonight... ah, I'm so sleepy..."
"Could it be the aroma coming from burning this unassuming thing?"
More than a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at Gu Ting intently, not only because of Blow Sting, but even the camera teachers were particularly curious.
Gu Ting stood up, pointed at the garbage on the table with a curved smile, "I found it at the beach just now. I scraped the powder off it and burned it to create a fragrance."
One person, who was enjoying Sting, suddenly slapped his head, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Could it be... this is ambergris produced by sperm whales? There was a news report about someone finding a piece and selling it for millions?"
There were gasps coming from the kitchen one after another. After a brief silence, someone holding a cell phone had his pupils trembling.
"Ambergris, good quality, can sell for two to three thousand yuan per gram!"
“It’s more expensive than gold!”
"Sister Ting's piece looks quite big..."
"The point is, this piece of ambergris is of superb quality and smells fantastic. It will definitely fetch a high price!"
Aside from the fans who had already gone back to their rooms to sleep, everyone else crowded into the kitchen, looking at each other, unable to help but excitedly exclaim in unison: "Chu Shen, you are the God of Fortune!"
Some people almost knelt down on the spot in front of Gu Ting's incredible fortune.
Not to mention the fans, even the photographers could hardly hold back and shouted excitedly.
Money fell from the sky, and the random objects they picked up turned out to be precious treasures...the scenes that only happened in their dreams were all witnessed with their own eyes in the past two days.
In the following time, Gu Ting was no longer the protagonist, but Ambergris on the stage became the protagonist. After obtaining consent from the fans of Insting, they put Gu Ting aside and rushed to take pictures of Ambergris, take pictures with Ambergris, and then share the pictures in the Insting fan group.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The netizens who were originally brewing sleepiness were suddenly awakened by the news that Gu Ting had picked up millions of ambergris. All the major net friend groups exploded, and each of them wanted to crawl over along the Internet cable to witness it with their own eyes.
Tomato Fried Bullet took out his phone and showed it to Gu Ting casually. The fan group messages were refreshed at a speed no slower than the barrage of comments, and without the constraints of the network administrator, the fans were more free.
"Let's be honest, are you the God of Wealth descending to earth? If you are, please chat privately as soon as possible and don't slow me down!"
"Ever since I became a fan of Trance, I've often doubted my eyes, my world, and even my brain... Is all this real?"
"Tell the God of Pumping that my love for her is like a surging river, endless... I will learn how to dress, learn how to be caring and considerate, learn how to do laundry and cook, learn how to exercise and raise children. For her, I am willing to do anything! My only request to her is: wait until I am 18!!!"
"Those under 18, stay away. Bullet tells Chuishen that I'm 20, 188cm tall, have eight-pack abs, own a car and a house, can handle everything from housework to housework, and am handsome. I'm definitely not a playboy or anything ridiculous. If Chuishen is looking for a partner, please consider me. Thank you, buddy."
"When it's time to act, act now. I'm sorry to offend you brothers. My fortune is nine figures. I've opened two listed companies myself. I haven't even counted the houses... In terms of assets, I'm slightly better, and in terms of sincerity, I'm not inferior. Tingting, marry me, I will give you a lifetime of happiness!"
"Damn it, brother, you have no martial ethics!"
"Spring is here, and it's time for courtship..."
"Get out of here! When did Tingting say she wanted to find a partner? Besides, our Tingting is so outstanding, how do you know she doesn't have a boyfriend?"
"Mysterious news: During the time that Chu Shen was filming the variety show, a cold-faced bodyguard has been following him everywhere. I think things may not be that simple..."
"You've already sent someone to follow you before you even get married. You're so possessive. If you really get married, won't they be inseparable and want to keep it in your pocket?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what's in your pocket?"
“…”
Seeing that the story was going in a strange direction and would never turn back, Gu Ting immediately returned the phone to Tomato Fried Bullet and strode away with Ambergris.
What partner, what love, what marriage, what possessiveness, what does it have to do with her?
Back in the room, Gu Ting saw Lin Mengmeng sitting on the bay window, supporting her chin and looking through the window at the pitch-black sea. She leaned over to take a look and saw that she was grinning foolishly at the sea and didn't even hear her call out twice.
Gu Ting showed an expression of understanding, perhaps someone's spring has really arrived.
A dreamless night.
The next day, Gu Ting and the other two were woken up by a barrage of group messages on their cell phones. The cell phone provided by the program team only contained the program team's group, which meant that the messages were from the program team when something happened.
Gu Ting opened one eye to check his phone. The time read five in the morning, still dark. Then he opened the green message, checked it again, and again... and confirmed it was a message from Director Wei: the production team's tent had been burglarized last night, and important equipment had been stolen, forcing filming to be suspended today.
Gu Ting was full of questions. The show was being filmed in full swing, but the production crew was suddenly robbed. Wasn't that a bit too unlucky?
Whether out of concern or to watch the fun, Gu Ting and his three companions as well as Yi Jingxing and his four companions rushed to the program group's tent early in the morning. As a result, they saw Director Wei and Assistant Director Chen standing outside the tent with pale faces, a pile of cigarette butts at their feet, and an unspeakable anxiety between their brows.
After some investigation, Gu Ting and his team found out the reason. Their program team was not well-off to begin with, and they had to rely on three sponsors including Qian Yan to update a batch of new equipment. However, the new equipment was stolen before they could even use it. This undoubtedly made the already poor program team even worse off.
The program crew was unable to shoot normally, and it would take at least half a day to go back to the company to get the old equipment, so Gu Ting and the other eight were forced to take a day off today. Whether they spent money to enjoy themselves or found a high-end hotel to rest, the program crew would not interfere.
When this news came out, the happiest people were Yi Jingxing and his three companions. They could finally find a hotel to have a good rest and no longer had to harvest seaweed.
While Wang Mowen was happy, he couldn't help but ask the program crew because he hadn't seen Han Na. The answer he got was that Han Na had taken the nanny car back to the city at around five o'clock in the morning.
With Hanna taking the lead, the others were already eager to get started. Although the program had only been filmed for three days and life was relatively easy in the first two days, the work of harvesting seaweed yesterday was enough to make them tired. Moreover, they had to face several unfamiliar people day and night, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.
Wang Mowen didn't stay any longer and turned around to leave.
Yi Jingxing fell behind last, but did not leave. Instead, he approached Gu Ting and said, "I saw your live video last night."
Gu Ting raised his eyebrows: "Hmm?"
Yi Jingxing extended his hand and said with a smile, "Can I shake your hand, Tsushin?"
She didn't know how others would react when the word "抽神" came out, but Gu Ting's mouth twitched violently - this kind of childish online name was really embarrassing when read out seriously by someone.
Gu Ting felt a little embarrassed, but appeared calm and relaxed as he reached out and shook her hand: "Of course."
Yi Jingxing's eyes were clear and his tone was sincere: "I have joined the 961st group of Inchuistin. From now on, I am also a member of Inchuistin."
Gu Ting was about to let go of her hand, but was surprised to hear her words. He couldn't help but hold her hand for a while longer. After all, passersby and fans are definitely treated differently. "Thank you for your love and support. I sincerely wish you continued success in your career and as much wealth as possible."
Who wouldn't want to achieve success and fame, both in terms of wealth and fame, if they choose to enter the entertainment industry? Gu Ting understands and respects those who honestly express themselves and pursue their normal desires.
Yi Jingxing couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Xia Yunyan, Chen Haoxian, and Wang Mowen were originally walking very fast, but suddenly they saw that the good guy Yi Jingxing actually ignored Han Na's face and took the initiative to approach Gu Ting to show his goodwill. The shock of several people was beyond words.
After Gu Ting and the others left, Shen Haoxian and the other two looked at him with indescribable strangeness as if they had just met him for the first time.
Wang Mowen crossed his arms, his eyes tinged with sarcasm, and jokingly said, "They bullied Nana so much yesterday, not taking us seriously at all, and yet today you're actively trying to make peace with Gu Ting? Are you eager to surrender? Or do you have a crush on her?"
After spending a few days together, Yi Jingxing had some understanding of Wang Mowen's personality. He knew that he had restrained himself a bit before the show and was actually not easy to get along with.
However, he and Wang Mowen had only known each other for a few days, so there was no need to get too close. He smiled and said, "Did you know that in just one month, Gu Ting's number of fans went from 0 to over 3.6 million, and it wasn't marketing? She has her own strengths, and I like her. It's an honor for me to be her fan. Please don't slander Miss Gu Ting. Her personality is not as bad as you say."
"As for the conflict between Gu Ting and Han Na, I don't know the details and won't comment."
As he said this, he turned and began to recommend his new idol to Xia Yunyan and Shen Haoxian: "I recommend you watch Gu Ting's live broadcast. It's really worth it to join the fan."
Just when Xia Yunyan and Shen Haoxian thought he was going to use all kinds of flowery words to praise his idol, Yi Jingxing ended the conversation contrary to common sense, leaving them with a mysterious look and letting them guess.
Xia Yunyan and Chen Haoxian: "..." Damn, I've been tricked. I wasn't interested at first, but suddenly my appetite was piqued. What's going on?
Wang Mowen was so angry at the three people that his face turned black and he just walked away.
On the other side, Gu Ting and the other two returned to the sea view villa. Since most of the Stings had to go back to work or school today, Gu Ting happened to be free, so he thought of having breakfast together and then seeing them off.
Under the leadership of a local named Xiao Fugui, nearly 30 people from Gu Ting had breakfast at a local breakfast shop. At the dinner table, they inevitably talked about the theft of the program crew. For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the breakfast shop, and even the locals knew about it.
After seeing off the fans, Gu Ting and the others each took care of their own affairs, and the day passed quickly.
Things took a turn for the better in the early morning of the next day. The production crew got up early to prepare for today's filming. Director Wei and his team returned to the empty tent again. A strange scene happened. The equipment that was stolen yesterday was returned intact, as if the theft of the production crew was just an illusory dream.
At four o'clock in the morning, Gu Ting was awakened by a call from Director Wei, asking her to go to the tent immediately to meet him.
Gu Ting even wanted to stab someone!
At four o'clock in the morning, Gu Ting came to the outside of the program crew's tent accompanied by Lin Mengmeng.
"Director Wei, why are you calling me here at this hour? Is there something urgent going on?" Gu Ting asked.
At this time, she and Lin Mengmeng both had dark circles under their eyes, no makeup on, black hair draped over their shoulders, and their eyes were resentful and confused, making them look like the amorous female ghosts who had just escaped from A Chinese Ghost Story.
Director Wei originally wanted to say something, but he was stunned by the two people's appearance without makeup. As soon as he opened his mouth, the topic went off track.
"I'm planning to shoot a movie in the first half of next year and would like to invite you two to audition. Do you have any availability?"
Gu Ting and Lin Mengmeng looked at each other and instantly understood each other's expressions.
"I have a schedule."
"Director Wei invited me, so of course I have to go."
