Chapter 19 Ex-Boyfriend
-
Rain pounded on the roof, and occasionally branches brushed against the car body. In the fierce storm, the headlights were low and lit. Gu Cheng listened to the dead tone, and Wen Chu had already hung up the phone.
He listened for a while, put down his phone, and put his hand on his thigh, revealing his watch, with the veins on his arm clearly visible.
Uncle Chen glanced at him through the endoscope and sighed softly, "Mr. Gu, some of your answers are too direct. Miss Wen might not be able to handle it."
Gu Cheng looked out the window at the branches swaying in the wind and rain. "I don't want to lie to her anymore. Every time I see her innocent look, I feel bad."
Uncle Chen was helpless. He said, "But you still want to save the relationship."
"think."
Uncle Chen whispered, "Why bother?"
Gu Cheng heard this, but he didn't respond.
-
The storm was raging, especially on a high floor. Wen Chu stared out the window at the night and rain, silent, his phone in reverse. A door opened upstairs, and Xi Ning came down in slippers, flicking on the living room light. The diamond-shaped chandelier cast a pale glow. "What do you want for dinner? There's some food in the fridge. Let's make some porridge," Xi Ning asked.
Wen Chu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned back to say, "Okay, how about you? Do you want to drink porridge with me too?"
Xi Ning opened the refrigerator and said, "Well, I'll eat with you. I'm not very good at making other dishes, so I can only make simple scrambled eggs. The food downstairs isn't very good, so I have to make it myself."
She took out some lean meat, turned to the kitchen, and said to Wen Chu, "Don't look down on my cooking skills. I've eaten the food cooked by your auntie before, and it's simply delicious."
Wen Chu hugged his knees and said, "It's not that one, it's the one before."
"Oh, yes, ex-boyfriend." Xi Ning snorted coldly and started working on the dressing table. Wen Chu told her that the meat had to be cut along the grain so that it would be soft when cooked.
"Okay." Xi Ning responded.
The two of them ate dinner on the windowsill in the rainy night. Wen Chu had been busy all day and was still wearing a hospital gown with messy hair. He looked very tired and embarrassed. It was necessary to change into hospital gown and wipe his body. Xi Ning was not weak, but it was still difficult for him to help Wen Chu sit down in the bathroom, not to mention helping Wen Chu change his clothes after wiping his body.
And last night, it was Gu Cheng who did all these things. He carried her to the bathroom, carefully took off her clothes, and wiped her neck with a towel. When couples are together, they are inevitably more intimate. He leaned over and kissed her neck and behind her ears, making her blush.
Wen Chu glanced at herself in the mirror, looking a little pale. She looked away, took Xi Ning's skirt and put it on. Xi Ning came in to help her take her hands out, and used a clip to help Wen Chu put up her hair.
Last night, Gu Cheng did the same thing. He tilted his head, found the right position, gathered her long hair, and pinned it up. The two of them looked at each other in the mirror, and Wen Chu's lips curled slightly, with a smile. He smiled back, then picked her up by the waist and carried her out of the hospital bathroom.
Back to the windowsill, Wen Chu checked the medicine on his legs.
There is still a slight pain.
After Xi Ning finished taking a shower, the two sat and watched the rain for a while. Xi Ning had to continue writing, so Wen Chu went to sleep. She slept on the sofa bed on the first floor. The sound of rain was crackling. She opened her eyes, but found it difficult to fall asleep. However, because of her physical condition, she could not get up, so she kept her eyes open.
Late at night, around three o'clock, Xi Ning yawned and came down with a cup of coffee in his hand to see Wen Chu. Seeing that she had her eyes closed, he thought she was asleep and turned off the lights.
Xi Ning also went back to her bed upstairs to sleep.
Late at night, an article was quietly posted on Xi Ning's Weibo account.
Titled "Some actresses have poor acting skills but are quite powerful. Some young masters of big families are not only superficial, but are actually the spokespersons of the class."
Still the same sharp style as always.
The content of the article is roughly that the actress has won many awards, but privately she is a slave to the stand-in actor and does not treat people as human beings. As long as she is famous, everything she does is right, even bullying others is right.
There are also some young masters from big families who appear gentle on the surface, but are actually ruthless and kill people without being noticed. They treat people like little girls and can do whatever they want once they are at the top.
Because this article featured a female actress, it immediately attracted a lot of attention, with many people speculating about who the actress was and who the young master of the wealthy family was.
What does Wanwan Leiqing mean? Does it mean looking for a substitute? Who did he look for, and who was so unlucky to become a substitute?
Everyone was guessing, because there was too little direction in the article and many people seemed to be able to fit in, so there were waves of speculations, but no one ever guessed the real person.
But the real owner couldn't help but get angry when he saw it. This person was Qi Yuan, and she filed another lawsuit against Xi Ning's company. Of course, that's a story for later.
Gu Cheng naturally also saw the article early in the morning. He was in the company, changed into a suit, with his coat draped over his arm. He took the car keys and went downstairs.
With a step on the accelerator, we arrived at the top floor of Xinghe.
Xinghe's director, Mr. He, was waiting for him in the conference room. Gu Cheng entered with his secretary. Mr. He was in his fifties. He had known that Mr. Gu of Gu's company was young, but he had never expected him to be this young. Gu Cheng extended his hand. "Mr. He, thank you for taking the time to meet me."
He Sheng laughed and shook hands with him: "Mr. Gu is really young and promising."
Gu Cheng: "Thank you."
"Please sit down." He Sheng gestured to his secretary to bring coffee, and the secretary respectfully served the three of them. Gu Cheng's secretary then took out the termination agreement, which listed the resources and amounts that Gu's company could provide, including Xingyao Media's brand resources, etc. He Sheng took a look and flicked the agreement with his fingertips.
It was indeed a very tempting offer. He flipped through the stuntman's profile that the secretary had put down. Wen Chu, 27, graduated from the Beijing Film and Television Academy. He had been Qi Yuan's stuntman for eight years. There was also a profile picture of Wen Chu, who looked about 60% like Qi Yuan. He pondered for a few seconds, then looked up at Gu Cheng and smiled, "Gu's is really generous to offer such an offer. However, I remember Xingyao is just a media company and doesn't have any artist management at the moment."
Gu Cheng nodded: "Not yet, but that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future."
He Sheng smiled. "You don't have that, but you're setting up an agency for one person, a 27-year-old stuntman. Isn't that a bit thoughtless, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Cheng said calmly, "Don't worry about that, Mr. He."
He Sheng shook his head and smiled, "Boss Gu and I hit it off right away. The Gu Group's businesses are spread all over the world. They haven't gotten involved in agency contracts, but we at Xinghe are very experienced. My idea is that I want a portion of these resources. Also, Mr. Wen, who has signed everything from behind-the-scenes to front-of-the-stage, should be signed to Xinghe. For the sake of the Gu Group, we will treat him equally and share the resources equally. Just like we support other artists, we will support Mr. Wen."
Secretary Li immediately looked at Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng looked at He Sheng. "Xinghe has many artists and has also produced many actors, including Teacher Qi Yuan. Will Mr. He really support Teacher Wen? Or is he just thinking about signing Teacher Wen to protect Teacher Qi's status and keep her under his nose so that he can control her. If there is a conflict of interest later, he will find an opportunity to put her in the cold?"
He Sheng was stunned, his eyebrows slightly raised, and his eyes flickered. He thought to himself that it was indeed the Gu Group. He smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, your consideration makes sense, but we can sign an agreement. Besides, if Teacher Wen can come forward, how could Xinghe let go of such a good seedling?"
Gu Cheng asked his secretary to push the agreement back to He Sheng. He said, "I don't trust you. I hope she can be free again."
Bang! The door was pushed open.
Qi Yuan, wearing a Chanel suit and sunglasses, stood there, looking at Gu Cheng with a bad face. She shifted her gaze slightly and looked at He Sheng: "Mr. He, if I remember correctly, Wen Chu is the stunt double I signed, and she is under my control."
He Sheng raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Qi, no one can resist money. Take a look at the conditions, you will be tempted."
"I don't want to see it."
She took two steps to stand in front of Gu Cheng. Secretary Li felt the other party's momentum and stood up. He Sheng looked at his secretary and left his seat.
Gu Cheng stood up and leaned against the table.
He was tall, and when he leaned forward, his figure was clearly visible. After everyone else in the meeting room left, Qi Yuan raised her eyes and stared at Gu Cheng, still looking somewhat aggressive.
She said, "Don't you know that I need her very much?"
She took off her sunglasses and threw them on the table, looking up.
Gu Cheng looked at her eyes filled with anger, which were like sparks igniting a prairie fire. He relaxed his body, and his shirt wrinkled a little. He looked at her for a few seconds and said, "Yes, that's why I haven't made up my mind to help her terminate the contract in the past four years."
Qi Yuan gritted her teeth and sneered, "Then why did you suddenly change your mind? Are you serious about marrying her?"
Gu Cheng paused slightly.
He recalled the night when Wen Chu looked up and asked him if he had any expectations for marriage. He clasped his hands together, raised his eyelids, and looked at Qi Yuan: "Qi Yuan, you should know why I want to help her terminate the contract."
"I know it very well?" Qi Yuan laughed, and she just realized that even if he relaxed and leaned against the table like this, she was still not as tall as him, especially in this confrontation situation. Since when did he become so mature, losing his straightforward emotions, and some things became unclear to her.
Qi Yuan shook her head and said, "I don't know. As my stand-in, she has to endure what she has to endure."
Gu Cheng's voice was low and faint: "Really? It's beyond her ability to bear, but you still let her suffer? You knew she was injured, but the first thing you did when you rushed to the hospital was not to show concern but to..."
"Isn't what I said true?" Qi Yuan took a step forward, and the scent of perfume hit her face. She did it on purpose. Gu Cheng didn't retreat, staring at her as she walked forward. He looked at her and said, "It's true, but that was in the past."
Qi Yuan sneered, staring at his Adam's apple, eyebrows, and eyes, which were so close to her. She couldn't help but lower her voice, "Gu Cheng..."
Gu Cheng looked at her for a few seconds, then took a step aside. He said, "I will help her terminate this contract. Be prepared."
Qi Yuan looked at him with an ugly expression.
She slammed the table and said, "I won't agree to that."
Gu Cheng said in a calm voice: "It's up to you."
Just like that day, she asked him, "You don't care about her anymore?" He said in that tone, "I can't persuade you, just do whatever you want." Qi Yuan was so angry that her chest heaved. She pulled her sunglasses off the table and turned to leave. Seeing Secretary Li at the door, Qi Yuan became even angrier and walked past him, bringing a gust of wind. Secretary Li sighed and walked in with the documents in his hand. Xinghe's director He Sheng also walked out of the office with his secretary and entered the meeting room for the second round of negotiations.
Qi Yuan's explanation doesn't make sense, but above her is Shu Mei, who was actually the one who signed Wen Chu. As long as Shu Mei agrees, the chances will be half greater.
This is also the reason why He Sheng dared to talk to Gu Cheng.
There is always a way, it just depends on the conditions.

Wen Chu woke up the next day and saw the article written by Xi Ning. In the still gloomy weather, the article was so sharp that it was shocking.
Especially since she was a person involved in the situation, these words seemed to be thrown directly in the faces of Qi Yuan and Gu Cheng. Wen Chu thought about Gu Cheng and felt that he did have the feeling of a spokesperson for a certain class. This was also the reason why she could not fit in when she got together with his other friends except for indulging in his tenderness over the years.
Now, after finally stripping it away, she finally saw the true nature of the matter.
Xi Ning sat on the tatami, looking through emails. Wen Chu took a sip of water and asked, "Is this article okay?"
"Something happened. Qi Yuan sued the company. My boss scolded me and asked me to delete the article. I don't know if your ex-boyfriend saw it."
Wen Chu pursed his lips: "Who knows."
Xi Ning sneered. She flipped through the dusty friend list and sure enough, she found Gu Cheng's avatar. He had two accounts, and this one was his work account.
She generated a PDF of the article and sent it to Gu Cheng's work account.
She edited: Mr. Gu, take a look at the quality of this article. As Wen Chu’s ex-boyfriend, you should be able to understand it.
A few minutes later.
Gu Cheng replied: Ex-boyfriend?
Xi Ning: The one we broke up with is my ex-boyfriend.
Gu Cheng didn't reply.
