Gu Hanyin briefly recounted how the two met, and then asked, "Do you know when I first met you?"
"..." Could it be such a coincidence?!
Cen Yu pondered for a moment. He clearly remembered that Gu Hanyin hadn't noticed him at the time.
He looked at Gu Hanyin cautiously, seeking an answer, when Gu Hanyin said, "What did you hear in the bathroom?"
Cen Yu didn't expect that he would be exposed so early.
"How did you find out?" He didn't deny that he was in the bathroom at the time.
After all, Gu Hanyin's attitude was so certain that he had obviously found evidence that he was there at the time.
"Your assistant."
Gu Hanyin briefly explained how she discovered Cen Yu. Cen Yu never expected that Xie Jinshen's appearance would expose her.
To her surprise, when she left the restroom, Gu Hanyin did not leave, but instead chose to find a place to observe.
He finally understood what the other person meant, but he felt even more confused. "...Because of this?"
"Because of this."
Gu Hanyin said.
“I didn’t hear anything,” Cen Yu replied to Gu Hanyin’s question. “I just heard you say that you can’t stuff people in, and that you will find a suitable candidate within a month.”
Since Gu Hanyin knew that he was in the bathroom from the beginning, it would seem pretentious for her to pretend that she was wearing headphones and hadn't heard anything.
Cen Yu simply told the truth.
Anyway, he didn't eavesdrop on purpose.
He swore to God, "I wasn't planning on eavesdropping."
"I just happened to hear you on the phone when I was about to leave the restroom."
Gu Hanyin didn't care about the matter. Since he made the call in a public place, he was prepared to be overheard.
At this moment, the traffic started flowing again. It was unclear whether the road conditions ahead had finally improved or they had just passed the most congested section. The rest of the journey was only slightly slower, and there was no longer the near-stationary traffic jam like before.
Gu Hanyin didn't say anything more, as if he had just asked casually.
The car stopped some distance from Cen Yu's residential area. "We're here."
Cen Yu then unbuckled his seatbelt. "Thank you, Director Gu."
Gu Hanyin shook her head, seemingly indicating that he didn't need to worry about it.
After Cen Yu's figure disappeared from sight, Gu Hanyin contacted his staff and asked them to start preparing audition invitations next week.
...
Cen Yu returned to his room and saw his unemployed teammates.
"You're back?" One of them looked at Cen Yu. "Why don't you stay with Director Gu a little longer?"
Cen Yu glanced at the phones in their hands and realized they had seen the rumors circulating online. He casually changed his shoes and went inside, saying, "Just want a ride."
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of connection." The speaker was the youngest member of the group, who was only 19 years old and usually had a cute and adorable style.
"Hmm." Cen Yu changed her shoes and walked over.
"My family used to work as maids in Gu Hanyin's household."
"...?" The teammates, who were originally going to make sarcastic remarks, were stunned by the sudden bombshell.
The youngest looked at Cen Yu and asked, "Why didn't you mention this connection when you were in the talent show?"
"You're not kidding us, are you?"
"I wasn't kidding you guys," Cen Yu said cheerfully. "I was just teasing the idiots."
"You!" The youngest brother was about to accuse Cen Yu, but then he saw Cen Yu take out his phone and say, "Look, He Ci believed it."
"..." The youngest brother was caught off guard, but because of the other person mentioned by Cen Yu, which really surprised them, they still went over to him.
Naturally, they witnessed the conversation between Cen Yu and the "Grand Eunuch".
"...You just saved He Ci's name like that?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you think it's a vivid description?"
"Then what are we?" the man asked again, "Master?"
Cen Yu looked at the man with pity, suspecting that he was feeding pigs during class. "Of course he's a little eunuch."
"The Grand Eunuch is in charge of us lowly eunuchs."
He actually thinks he's the master?! Hilarious!
The man was speechless, stunned by Cen Yu's words. Seeing Cen Yu about to open the door and go inside, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going to go in now?"
Cen Yu was baffled. "Is that not allowed?"
"Is Zhan Kongqing unavailable right now?"
Actually, these guys weren't malicious. They just said that because they felt a subtle jealousy that their teammate might be about to ascend to immortality—basically, they were afraid that their brother would suffer, but also afraid that their brother would drive a Range Rover.
After all, he is different from contestants like Jiang Jueming and Li Yanxiao, who have good family backgrounds and high popularity.
They and Cen Yu both belong to the popular back group.
With Cen Yu about to ascend to immortality while eating a big pancake, how could he not be anxious?
But perhaps because he was thinking of Zhan Kongqing again, Lao Yao couldn't help but say, "Lao Gao has already told us."
"They said the magazine has chosen you as the third candidate."
They all thought that the candidate should have been Zhan Kongqing, since Zhan Kongqing was third in popularity. When He Ci first announced that the third candidate for the cover was pending and that the magazine would consider their performance at the banquet, they didn't take it seriously.
They took it as nothing more than empty promises from He Ci.
After all, their performances only last for a short time, and they don't have any special opportunities to showcase themselves, so how can they attract the attention of magazines?
Unexpectedly, Cen Yu first followed Mu Fengyin on social media, and now it seems she also knows Gu Hanyin...
