Chapter 14 Qi Yuan and Gu Group...
"you say."
Wen Chu paused and said, "I'm very grateful for this opportunity. I'm very excited and I want to be on screen and show myself, but I can't lie to you. My stunt double contract will only expire in two years. I will try my best to get this audition opportunity with the company, but whether the company will let me audition or not is still unknown."
Director Tang was stunned. "You signed a ten-year stuntman contract. Aren't there any other benefits attached? For example, if a suitable role comes up, can you leave the stuntman and try new opportunities?"
Wen Chu shook his head.
Director Tang's expression suddenly grew serious. "So, you're bound by the contract, and Shu Mei has no plans to help you develop?"
Wen Chu couldn't say anything bad about Shu Mei to others. She only said, "There are no additional benefits in the contract. I don't know if Sister Shu Mei is willing, so I said I would fight for it."
Director Tang nodded at the table. Thinking of Shu Mei's expression and Qi Yuan's attitude the night before, no actor would want to compete with an actor who looked too much like them. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he looked at Wen Chu, "Does the contract last two years?"
Wen Chu nodded.
Director Tang's expression was filled with regret. "Wen Chu, Feng Yuewan can't wait, and I can't wait for you for two years either. If you're bound by the contract, then you must resolve the contract issue first before discussing the audition with me."
Wen Chu's hand on her leg tugged at her skirt, unconsciously, slightly, and with a tingling pain. She had guessed it, hadn't she?
She whispered, "I know."
Director Tang shook his head, not as enthusiastic as he had been at the beginning. This world was just so realistic. He took another sip of coffee, called over the waiter, and said, "Check out."
Wen Chu suddenly came back to his senses and immediately went to get the list, saying, "Director Tang, I'll do it."
Director Tang had already taken the bill and handed it to the waiter. Wen Chu didn't try to grab it from him. After paying the bill, Director Tang said to Wen Chu, "Give me some news as soon as possible."
Wen Chu stood and nodded.
Director Tang shook his head slightly, knowing that there would probably be no result. Which company would give up an actor who is currently at the peak of his career to support an unknown one? Besides, Qi Yuan's company has no shortage of good actors, and Qi Yuan's status and position are there. If she doesn't let go, Wen Chu will not be able to make a breakthrough.
Qi Yuan also lied to him and said that the contract was only for two years. He found out when he checked, but he thought that at least there were some other opportunities in the contract.
He felt very sorry, but there was nothing he could do, and he would not waste any more time on Wen Chu. Wen Chu watched him leave, and she saw clearly the changes in Director Tang.
In an instant, tears overflowed from her eyes and slid down, unable to be wiped away in time. She sat back and took out a tissue from her bag to press her eyes to suppress the tears.
But the tissue was still wet, and the ball of paper in my hand gradually became heavier, which was the weight of tears.
After sitting in the coffee shop for more than half an hour, Wen Chu left with a pair of slightly red and swollen eyes. She did not take a taxi, but walked slowly along the coffee street. This city, which is both international and rich in cultural heritage, is the cradle of many people's dreams. When she was admitted here, her parents were so happy for her, but after so many years, she even felt shy to go home.
After walking around, Uncle Chen came to pick up Wen Chu. Wen Chu had calmed down, but felt a little tired. Uncle Chen drove through several streets and suddenly saw a building not far away: Gu Group.
He turned around to look at Wen Chu and said with a smile, "We're near the group, and it's almost noon. Miss Wen, would you like to go to Gu's and have lunch with Mr. Gu?"
Wen Chu was in a daze. He looked outside and indeed saw the words "Gu Group".
She missed Gu Cheng's gentleness a little.
She whispered, "Okay."
Uncle Chen smiled kindly, turned the steering wheel, and drove to the underground parking garage of Gu Group. After getting out of the car, he accompanied Wen Chu upstairs. This towering building is naturally one of the landmarks in Beijing. The floors are frighteningly high. When they reached the 82nd floor, Wen Chu walked out of the elevator and walked towards Gu Cheng's office.
She came several times. Gu Cheng brought her here once or twice, and the rest of the time she came to bring him a coat or some information. She also came once to bring him some coffee.
When people passing by saw her, some who knew her would say hello, and those who didn't know her would also look at her, mainly because she was beautiful.
After she left, they covered their mouths and talked about it: "Mr. Gu's girlfriend?"
"Yes, she is very beautiful, isn't she?"
"She's really beautiful. I heard she graduated from a film and television academy. Doesn't that mean she's an entertainer?"
"I think he's working behind the scenes at a certain company. I'm not sure, but if he doesn't act in movies, he must be very capable to be able to work behind the scenes at a big company."
"That's right."
"It seems like they've been together for a long time?"
"It's been more than four years. Mr. Gu, is your loyalty strong?"
"He's really devoted."
They discussed it in detail, and Wen Chu frowned, pretending not to hear. Especially the one working behind the scenes at some company, it was indeed not glorious to be a stunt double who could not be seen in public. Gu Cheng had not disclosed her occupation to anyone, but some people knew she worked at Qi Yuan's company, so they gave her the identity of a behind-the-scenes worker.
She remembered asking Gu Cheng that day if he had any expectations for marriage.
He answered but didn't say anything else.
She now thought that if the two of them really planned to get married, then her identity as a stuntman would be really embarrassing in their class.
There is no one in Gu Cheng's office.
But when Gu Cheng's secretary learned that Wen Chu had arrived, he hurriedly opened the door for her. He smiled and said, "Boss Gu is in a meeting. Let's take a rest in his office first. He has a lounge here. I'll take you there."
The conference room not far away was full of people. Wen Chu knew it, so she said, "No, I'll just wait for him on the sofa. If you have something to do, go and do it. Don't worry about me."
Secretary Li smiled and said, "Okay, would you like a latte? I'll bring it to you."
"Thank you." Wen Chu walked in and sat on the sofa. There were some magazines piled on the table. She picked one up and flipped through it. She accidentally found one with Qi Yuan on it. She paused and put the magazine under the other magazines. She didn't want to see Qi Yuan's face for the time being. Secretary Li brought in coffee and a mousse cake. It was Wen Chu's favorite. She probably went downstairs to buy it for her in the cafe.
Wen Chu said thank you.
Secretary Li left and she was the only one left in the office. Wen Chu picked up the tablet on the desk and opened it. It worked. The password was her birthday.
The lock screen is her.
As she waited, Wen Chu felt a little sleepy. Her eyes were more tired than usual after crying, so she lay on the armrest of the sofa, thinking that she would just take a nap.
Gu Cheng pushed the door open and saw her sprawled on the sofa, her soft hair drooping, already asleep. He walked over, grabbed her wrist, and bent down to pick her up. Wen Chu, dazed, could smell his familiar scent and his own breath. She hugged his neck and opened her eyes, tears welling in her eyes. "Are you done with the meeting?"
"Yeah, it just finished." Gu Cheng saw that she was awake, and with his arm resting on the armrest, he asked softly, "Are you still sleeping?"
Wen Chu shook her head. She looked at his eyes tenderly and said, "I'm just a little sleepy. I didn't sleep after the show this morning."
"I know." He lowered his head and kissed her between the eyebrows. Wen Chu closed her eyes and felt the tenderness of his lips. She opened her eyes and said, "I went to see Director Tang."
Gu Cheng paused, lowered his eyes and looked at her, "How did the conversation go?"
Wen Chu smiled softly and shook her head slightly. She didn't talk about the result or the process. In fact, she knew it all in her heart that the chances were slim. Seeing her like this, Gu Cheng tightened his hold on her.
He asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Wen Chu said: "It's all right, I just ate a piece of cake."
"Let's go downstairs and eat noodles." Gu Cheng made the decision.
"good."
She was picked up and the two took the private elevator downstairs. However, they still encountered employees of the group. Therefore, many employees of this private noodle shop of Gu's saw Mr. Gu and his beautiful girlfriend coming to eat noodles. After eating noodles, Gu Cheng sent Wen Chu home and then went to the company.
Wen Chu originally wanted to get a good sleep when she got home, but she was in a restless mood. She curled up on the sofa and opened the WeChat of the company's senior management. She wanted to bypass Qi Yuan and Shu Mei and contact the company's senior management to try to get their approval.
At this time, a hot search appeared on Weibo and there was a push notification.
It was Guan Qiyuan and Gu Cheng. Wen Chu was stunned and quickly clicked in to see that the trending search title was #Qiyuan and Gu Group Gu Shao's atmosphere picture#
The accompanying picture was the one taken at the bar counter of Mingshan Bar that day. The angle of the person who took the picture was also from the position where she and Xi Ning were standing. The person was very good at controlling the lens and the atmosphere. In the whole picture, everyone else was blurred, only Qi Yuan and Gu Cheng were clear, and their eyes were meeting.
One can vaguely feel Gu Cheng's casualness and a touch of gentleness.
Qi Yuan wore an apricot-colored knee-length skirt and high heels, giving her a bit of a queenly vibe. The two of them looked very well matched in this picture.
The person taking the photo is very good.
Wen Chu pursed his lips and glanced at the comments below.
"What did I say? My Yuan should be paired with a rich young master like this. How could she be involved with Fang Yi?"
“It’s a divine picture.”
"It feels so good. The male and female protagonists of the novels I read have faces."
"Ahhh, you two should be together!"
Xi Ning: Have you seen the trending searches?
Wen Chu held the phone tightly and replied: Yes, I just saw it.
Xi Ning sneered: If I hadn’t seen this scene with my own eyes, I would have been deceived by the hot search.
Wen Chu also saw it with her own eyes, but she still couldn't help but look at the picture on Weibo. At that time, she also had a trance feeling that they were a good match.
Wen Chu leaned back in her chair, staring at the trending searches on Weibo. At this moment, she also happened to swipe to WeChat and refresh her WeChat Moments. Qi Yuan didn't care much about being on the trending searches at all. Her Moments were open, and she would often post updates that her outside fans didn't know about.
Qi Yuan posted a video and wrote: Seeing the trending search, I remembered that I had a lot of photos and videos with Gu Cheng in the past.
When Wen Chu saw her words, her heart ached and she pursed her lips and clicked it.
The video was on a mountain road, where a heavy motorcycle race was being held. Gu Cheng was still very young at the time. He was wearing black trousers and a black T-shirt, with his long legs straddling the motorcycle. Gu Ci and the others laughed and said, "Hurry up, go invite your girls to get on the motorcycle."
Gu Cheng started the motorcycle, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight towards Qi Yuan who was standing on the side of the road chatting with a few people. The camera followed them and Gu Cheng took out the helmet and gave it to Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan was also wearing black and had long straight hair draped over her shoulders. She raised her eyebrows and took it, and the others around her immediately started to make a fuss.
The camera revolves around Gu Cheng. Qi Yuan gets in the car. He talks to her with a side glance, his eyes somewhat gentle. Qi Yuan nods his head and pushes his arm.
After seeing this, Wen Chu was no longer able to read on.
She is a person who understands love and has loved before, and she also knows what the tenderness in Gu Cheng's eyes means. She remembered the tenderness in Gu Cheng's eyes when he invited Qi Yuan to dance at the dance eight years ago, and then watched this video.
Even a fool can see that Gu Cheng has a special feeling towards Qi Yuan. It's not just because of the close relationship between the two families, but also because of his own feelings. He either had a good impression of Qi Yuan in the past, or he liked Qi Yuan. He must have liked Qi Yuan.
Tears welled up in Wen Chu's eyes. Among so many girls, he had a clear target and went towards Qi Yuan. That was unique.
Wen Chu had never thought about this. She always believed that they were just two families with a close relationship, and his kindness to Qi Yuan was just this kind of relationship.
She had never thought of any other reasons, but now in this video, she got a glimpse into Gu Cheng's past emotions.
He liked Qi Yuan.
Wen Chu was trembling all over.
She saw Gu Ci’s comment below: Hey, you still have these videos.
Gu Ci: My brother was so young and naive back then.
Qi Yuan: Indeed, I have matured now.
Wen Chu pursed her lips, threw away her phone, hugged her knees, and turned to look at the scenery outside. The sky was blue with white clouds floating, but she only felt that there was a layer of gray clouds above it, and it would rain at any time.
