When Xiang Tian introduced Gu Rui to Chen Yu, one could sense that he attached great importance to her, and his words revealed a hint of pride in Gu Rui.

He didn't feel that Chen Yu was embarrassed when he ordered him to come over in the middle of the night, but now he seemed to suddenly remember this matter. He looked at Chen Yu with a considerate and earnest tone.

"I know you are introverted and not good at socializing, but Chen Yu, you can't go on like this. You still need to see more of these scenes, so I specially asked Gu Rui to come and accompany you, and she came without saying a word."

Chen Yu didn't say anything.

Xiang Tian looked at Gu Rui again, "Xiao Rui, her name is Chen Yu."

"Oh, Chen Yu, hello." Gu Rui extended her hand towards Chen Yu.

Out of politeness and upbringing, Chen Yu pursed his lips and shook her hand back. However, as soon as his hand touched Gu Rui's fingertips, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Then, as if Chen Yu no longer existed in her eyes, she raised her chin and turned her head to look at Xiang Tian, ​​urging him in a coquettish voice, "Brother Xiang Tian, ​​can we go up now? We've been waiting here for a whole hour, and I almost fell asleep."

"I'll go right up."

Xiang Tian said something soothing and took them into the elevator. For the first time, he paid so much attention to the slow-moving Chen Yu and reminded her to keep up.

After exiting the elevator, the lights dimmed, leaving only a few ambient lights. Music could be heard from the boxes in the corridor, accompanied by some not-so-nice original singers. - Under the staring eyes of his manager Xiang Tian, ​​Chen Yu gritted his teeth and apologized to Zhao Xiaoxiao.

After that, Xiang Tian followed up with a slight bow towards Zhao Xiaoxiao, with a flattering expression and a sincere tone, "Teacher Zhao, Chen Yu is just a newbie who knows nothing."

"She was so ignorant this time, I have already severely criticized her, so I thought I should bring her to you to apologize. Please don't take it to heart."

"Brother Xiangtian, you are really harsh," Zhao Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Yu gently, with a helpless look on her face, "I'm not angry, why are you criticizing her?"

Hearing what Zhao Xiaoxiao said, Xiang Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly pulled Gu Rui out from behind him, eager to let Zhao Xiaoxiao get familiar with Gu Rui.

"Teacher Zhao, Xiao Rui is the most considerate artist I have ever taught. She is very measured in what she says and does. Moreover, she is also a loyal fan of yours and has watched many of your dramas."

Zhao Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Rui and smiled, "Really?"

This time, Gu Rui's attitude was visibly different from when she was facing Chen Yu. She had taken off her sunglasses and mask long ago, and portrayed the image of a humble junior impeccably. Her voice was soft and she really had the excitement of a little girl meeting her idol whom she had liked for a long time.

"Teacher Xiaoxiao, nice to meet you."

Zhao Xiaoxiao also responded with her usual kind smile and took the initiative to say, "Since we're here, I also like the hustle and bustle, so let's go in and play together."

Xiang Tian was overjoyed to hear this, but he decided to quit while he was ahead and did not push for more. He found an excuse to leave first, and before leaving, he gave Gu Rui a look to tell her to seize the opportunity, not caring about Chen Yu at all.

Zhao Xiaoxiao pushed the door and led the two people into the box. The box was very large, the lighting was dim, and it was on a constantly sweeping ambient light. Many people were already sitting on several sets of large sofas.

The atmosphere inside was good, and it looked like the game had started a while ago. Even when the door of the box opened, no one looked up.

Chen Yu looked around silently and found that what Zhao Xiaoxiao said when she asked him out was true.

She was gathering together, laughing, drinking and chatting, and saw several familiar faces in the circle among the people singing to each other in front of the karaoke stage.

There were almost no producers or actors that could be named, and there were almost no unfamiliar faces. Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Zhao Xiaoxiao asked the waiter in the box to bring two glasses of juice and placed them in front of Chen Yu and Gu Rui, and asked Chen Yu a question as if she was showing her concern.

"Xiao Yu, you said earlier that something urgent happened. Is it settled now?"

It was originally an excuse for rejection. Chen Yu paused and replied with a vague tone, "I'll deal with it."

Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't seem to doubt him and nodded, "That's good."

After chatting for a while, someone waved Zhao Xiaoxiao over, leaving Gu Rui and Chen Yu speechless.

Gu Rui was a person who knew how to deal with things. After looking down at her phone for a while, she stood up and went to Zhao Xiaoxiao with a natural smile on her face. After talking for a few words, she sat down next to Zhao Xiaoxiao naturally, blended into the crowd over there, and started chatting with them freely.

Zhao Xiaoxiao also welcomed Gu Rui. It seemed that she treated Gu Rui no differently than she treated Chen Yu, with the same smile on her face. With Gu Rui around, she hardly thought about Chen Yu anymore.

Chen Yu, on the other hand, felt comfortable being left out.

She just wanted to sit for a while and then leave to go home. She didn't plan to talk to Zhao Xiaoxiao in person, thinking that she was busy and she could send a WeChat message to explain later.

Chen Yu didn't touch the juice in the glass. She picked it up and prepared to return it to the bar in the private room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she bumped into someone, and most of the juice spilled out, some of which inevitably splashed directly on the other person.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chen Yu immediately apologized in panic and quickly took out a tissue and handed it over with both hands.

The person who was splashed by Chen Yu was a woman, who looked to be in her thirties, with an ordinary appearance, but she wore black glasses and had a scholarly temperament similar to that of an intellectual. Although her sleeve was splashed, she did not show any anger.

He took the tissue from Chen Yu, unfolded it and wiped it, saying calmly, "It's okay, it's just a little wet."

Chen Yu still felt very apologetic, "I'm really sorry, teacher, I didn't mean it."

Hearing the word "teacher", the woman looked up in surprise, looked at Chen Yu, and smiled, "I didn't tell you what I do, why did you call me teacher right away?"

Chen Yu was stunned. In her circle, no matter which senior or peer she met, she would habitually call them teacher.

After wiping off the juice, the woman introduced herself gracefully, "My name is Li Zhenzhen, and I'm a screenwriter."

Later, Chen Yu did not stay in that bureau for long and left very early, but she and the screenwriter named Li Zhenzhen exchanged contact information.

After returning home, Chen Yu searched Li Zhenzhen's Baidu Encyclopedia online. She was shocked to find that this woman looked so low-key, but she had written many excellent scripts. Two out of the three were even big hits, including movies and TV series.

But Li Zhenzhen does not have the airs of someone with such achievements. People in the circle jokingly call her a teacher, but she really does look like a teacher. She has excellent conversation and one can feel that she is indeed a person with cultural background.

The two added each other on WeChat, but never chatted. The reason they started chatting was by chance, when Chen Yu saw a post posted by Li Zhenzhen on his Moments.

In the picture she posted, there is a small part of the script she wrote. It is just a line of words and an extremely concise introduction to the character's background, and the text she accompanied it with is.

[Can someone give me a brief biography of this character?] Chen Yu's mind moved, and he couldn't help but comment on this dynamic. He wrote a long brief biography based on his own ideas. It was a spur-of-the-moment comment, and he didn't get a reply for several hours after he made the comment.

When Chen Yu was so busy filming that she almost forgot about the incident, she received a private message from Li Zhenzhen, replying to a comment she had made on her WeChat Moments.

But instead of praising, Li Zhenzhen pointed out many shortcomings in this biography. Her detailed comments made Chen Yu feel a little embarrassed. However, while pointing out the shortcomings, Li Zhenzhen also gave Chen Yu the correct guidance.

The two didn't talk about personal matters, they just communicated a lot about their views on some characters. After the conversation, Chen Yu really felt like he had learned something, and many of his originally fixed ideas were transformed and improved.

Li Zhenzhen seemed to be very busy and did not reply to Chen Yu's messages very frequently. It might take at most a day for her to reply. However, this did not affect Chen Yu's respectful impression of Li Zhenzhen.

After a few visits, the two maintained this kind of close but not distant relationship.

Until one day, Li Zhenzhen sent a message to Chen Yu, saying that the script in which Chen Yu had written a biography was going to be made into a TV series, and asked her if she was interested in auditioning, and directly attached the time and location of the film and television city building.

Chen Yu agreed excitedly.

The audition process was not smooth. Chen Yu met Li Zhenzhen at the audition location. She was sitting at the desk with the director. She was wearing glasses and looked very businesslike. She did not make any special exceptions for Chen Yu.

There were a lot of people who came to audition, and Chen Yu barely made it through one round. The second round started the next afternoon, and after so many setbacks, he finally made it to the third round.

Chen Yu received three rounds of audition locations from the staff. This time it was not in the film and television city, and the time was changed to evening.

Chen Yu looked up at the luxuriously decorated club-like building in front of her. Before she could feel confused, a standard but not luxurious nanny car stopped beside her.

A woman wearing sunglasses walked down leisurely. It was Gu Rui.

She got out of the car, and when she saw Chen Yu, she stopped, took off her sunglasses, and glanced at Chen Yu up and down with a very impolite look, as if she was surprised or mocking him. Suddenly she sneered, "You're wearing this for the audition?"

Chen Yu looked puzzled as he looked at the beautiful dress on Gu Rui, wondering why attire was not considered in the audition.

Then he was startled again. How did Gu Rui know about the audition? Was she also here for the third round of auditions? Then why didn't he see her during the first and second rounds of auditions? (End of this chapter)
