Chapter 57 One Year Has Passed
Twenty million.
Gu Cheng did not make a bet with Mr. Gu. He gave him 20 million and let him go back to sleep.
Mr. Gu: “….”
Do I look like a beggar?

"Overseas Chinese" was released on a national holiday. There were more than a dozen films released. "Overseas Chinese" was not a popular movie at the beginning. After all, it was a holiday. There were some comedians who were more relaxed and had more movie appeal. They covered a wider age range and children liked to watch it.
So at the beginning, this movie was strongly supported by fans of Han Fei and Wen Chu, and later some patriotic people and young people who like military movies gradually joined in.
In the end, other movies gradually lost popularity, and audiences turned to watch Overseas Chinese with their tickets. They were attracted by the fighting and thrilling plot of the movie, and washed away the similar plots they felt in other movies.
"Overseas Chinese" has a new twist.
The box office recovered within two weeks and reached its peak.
Zhu Ru rushed into the set with a tablet in hand and said with a smile, "The movie is a hit, the movie is a hit."
Wen Chu and Han Fei had just finished their roadshow and returned to the set to continue filming. They looked at each other and said with a smile, "Let's celebrate tonight."
Han Fei smiled and said, "Okay."
After finishing filming late at night, the group left the film and television city and went to a late-night snack stall they often went to for a late-night snack. They happened to pass by the place where Gu Cheng came to see her last time.
Wen Chu sat down on the chair.
Han Fei sat across from her and said, "Want a drink?"
Wen Chu thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
Zhu Ru also wanted to drink, so they each poured themselves a glass of wine.
Han Fei looked at Wen Chu with a smile: "Don't you think you are very lucky?"
Wen Chu smelled the aroma of white wine, it was mellow and fragrant. She took a sip and asked, "What do you mean?"
Han Fei picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and rolled up his sleeves to expose his arms. In private, he was actually much more casual than on screen. He smiled and said, "How can you be like this? Your first TV series was a hit, and your first movie was a hit. Your name is really well chosen, Wen Chu, Wen Chu, the beginning."
Wen Chu ate grilled shrimp and said, "My mother gave me this name, which means the beginning."
"Then I understood it correctly." Han Fei said with a smile.
Wen Chu also smiled and blinked.
Zhu Ru and Han Fei's agent were also drinking there, but Xiao Zhi was sitting aside, drinking juice instead of alcohol. Han Fei's agent was whispering to Zhu Ru.
"The film should be sent for review."
"Director Lin spent so much time preparing this film in order to win an award."
Zhu Ru's eyes lit up.
She looked at Wen Chu. This was the result of long-term accumulation.
Wen Chu picked up the phone.
Send a message to your mother.
Ye Qifang often suffers from insomnia these days, so Wen Chu would send her messages and the mother and daughter would chat. Wen Chu would comfort her, and Ye Qifang would quickly reply: Your father and I went to the cinema today to watch your movie.
Wen Chu smiled and asked: How is it?
Ye Qifang: That’s great. Several of my old classmates were in the same hall. After they came out, they pulled me aside and talked to me for a long time. They said that when they sent me to the Film and Television Academy, they thought it was a fantasy, but now they all envy me.
Wen Chu: Mom, thank you.
Ye Qifang: Why are you thanking me? It was your own persistence. Wen Chu, mom didn't know how hard it was for you to be a stuntman in those years. If I knew, I would definitely call you back.
Wen Chu paused slightly and said: It is bitter, but there are some good things in it, it’s not all bitter.
Ye Qifang: You always report good news but never bad news.
Wen Chu: You too, you’ve suffered from insomnia for so many years and you didn’t tell me.
Ye Qifang: Sequelae of surgery.
Wen Chu: You have to eat the things I send back to you, and you have to use the card I gave you.
Ye Qifang: Okay.
"Who are you messaging?" Han Fei turned his head and looked at her.
Wen Chu raised his eyes and smiled, "My mother."
Han Fei nodded.
"It's great that my mother is here."
Wen Chu took a sip of the white wine and thought of Han Fei's information. She heard that his mother had died a long time ago. She looked at him for a few seconds and said, "Drink?"
Han Fei met her eyes, smiled, and picked up the wine glass: "Drink."
She was comforting him silently.
The two clinked their wine glasses.
Xiaozhi took a photo for Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng was still in the company. After seeing this, he replied: Keep an eye on her. She can't drink too much or she will get drunk.
Xiaozhi: Okay.
A few seconds later, Xiaozhi added: It's okay, Han Shuai is here.
As expected, Wen Chu was a little drunk. The driver drove over and Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi helped her get in the car. Han Fei lent a hand from the side. Wen Chu looked up and inadvertently saw his eyebrows.
She paused, looked away, and was helped into the car by Zhu Ru.
Han Fei also got in the car, and the two cars returned to the hotel. In the elevator, Wen Chu sat next to Zhu Ru. She was drunk and her hair was messy. Han Fei stood aside, looking at her casually.
He watched her hair fall, and after a few seconds, he reached out and tucked it behind her ear.
Zhu Ru was shocked.
The little one too.
Han Fei's agent did not follow and was making a phone call in the hotel lobby. Only Han Fei's assistant followed him. The assistant also opened his eyes wide. He had never seen Han Shuai make such ambiguous gestures towards any female artist.
Zhu Ru didn't dare to breathe and held Wen Chu steady.
Fortunately, Han Fei withdrew his hand, put it in his trouser pocket, and looked away.
Zhu Ru just prayed that the elevator door would open quickly.
Before, the two of them hyped up their relationship as a couple, which was a necessary task. The jokes on the Internet and the teasing from fans were fair and square, and no one took them seriously. They followed Wen Chu and knew how monotonous her life was. Apart from work, she had almost no other major interactions with Han Fei. And now Han Fei did this.
Xiaozhi picked up the phone and put it down again.
When it came to this situation where there were traces of something, she didn't dare to post it.
Fortunately, the elevator arrived at Wen Chu's floor. Zhu Ru and Xiao Zhi quickly helped Wen Chu out. Zhu Ru sorted out the expression on her face and said with a smile, "Han Shuai, we'll get off first."
Han Fei smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Zhu Ru smiled and walked towards the door with Xiaozhi.
Wen Chu was next to Zhu Ru. She was soft and gentle, with a beautiful figure.
The elevator doors closed again.
The assistant coughed, looked at Han Fei, and said, "Brother Han, was it an illusion just now?"
Han Fei rubbed his neck and smiled: "You are not delusional."
The assistant was stunned.
He carefully followed Han Fei's pace: "Brother Han, before in Paris, Teacher Wen and the president of Gu Group..."
Han Fei came to the door: "I know."
"What about you?" The assistant didn't understand. Although Han Fei was very cheerful, the assistant had followed him for many years and knew very well that he was actually a casual person and a person who saw things more clearly.
Han Fei thought for a moment and said, "I think she's a bit mysterious. Whether it's how she was able to move to the stage from being a stuntman, or her possible involvement with the Gu Group CEO, or her dashing fighting skills, or her current state, all of these things make people curious about her."
The assistant was surprised: "Brother Han, please think twice."
"Haha, OKOK." Han Fei pushed the door open with a smile.

Wen Chu returned to her room and forced herself to wash and shower. Zhu Ru waited for her with some hangover pills and fed her one. After Wen Chu took one, she drank a sip of water, sat down on the sofa in her nightgown, and rubbed her forehead. Zhu Ru sat down beside her, looked at her, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Wen Chu was much more awake. She smiled and said, "Much better."
Zhu Ru looked at her for a few seconds and said, "From now on, you and Han Shuai should stay away from each other except for work."
Wen Chu raised his eyes: "What?"
Zhu Ru told her what had just happened in the elevator. Wen Chu held her face in her hands and didn't move. After a while, she nodded: "Yes."
Zhu Ru saw that she was so straightforward.
Breathe a sigh of relief.
But the next second, she turned sideways and asked, "If Han Shuai pursues you, will you agree?"
Wen Chu looked into Zhu Ru's eyes and said, "No."
Zhu Ru breathed a sigh of relief.
Wen Chu smiled: "Who made him look a bit like... Mr. Gu."
"What if it doesn't look like it?" Zhu Ru asked again.
Wen Chu thought about it.
She held the cup: "I'll give it a chance."
Zhu Ru was shocked.
But she also felt that it was reasonable. Wen Chu would not stay in Mr. Gu's vortex forever. She would definitely jump out, look at the vast sky outside, and think about various possibilities.
She ruffled Wen Chu's hair.
"Of course, if there's a chance in the future, I can consider other men. Only by dating a few more men can I know who is more suitable for me."
Wen Chu smiled.
"Um."
Four months later.
"Overseas Chinese" was nominated for the Golden Eagle Awards, with Wen Chu and Han Fei both nominated for awards, as well as the director and screenwriter. When Wen Chu woke up, Zhu Ru was outside, calling her excitedly.
Wen Chu sat on the bed in a daze.
A few minutes later she came back to her senses, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and opened the door. Zhu Ru smiled and held up the tablet: "You've been nominated."
Wen Chu smiled and said, "Yeah."
"Congratulations." Zhu Ru stepped forward and embraced Wen Chu.
"Feng Yue Wan" missed the nomination, but "Overseas Chinese" got it. Wen Chu hugged Zhu Ru tightly. She had to admit that she was lucky. She seemed to have picked up the luck she had lost in the previous eight years.
"Hurry, clean up." Zhu Ru let go of Wen Chu and said with a smile.
Wen Chu agreed.
She returned to her room and asked, "Have you asked for leave?"
"Yes, Han Shuai also invited him."
"You two are on the same flight."
Wen Chu chuckled.
Take clothes and pack them in the suitcase.
After that night, Han Fei behaved as usual the next day, and Wen Chu naturally did not expose his behavior. The two of them tacitly just filmed. Wen Chu saw that he did not do anything else, so she did not deliberately distance herself from him. The relationship between the two of them was getting better and better. Whether they were filming or not, they would chat for a few minutes.
Zhu Ru also observed for a while, and later guessed that it was just a small unintentional action, so she let it go. After all, it was impossible for two people not to come into contact.
"Cold Wind" is in its final stages, and the two have quite a lot of rival scenes.
This time, the two of them were nominated together, and Han Fei's agent discussed with Zhu Ru about buying plane tickets together, and they did.
Zhu Ru didn't resist either.
Pack your bags.
The three of them set off and met Han Fei downstairs. Han Fei was wearing sunglasses and a white shirt and was waiting for them there with a smile. Wen Chu smiled slightly and walked with him to their respective nanny cars.
After the flight started, the two of them were in the same cabin at the airport and headed to Beijing together.
at the same time.
A WeChat message came in on Wen Chu's phone.
Gu Cheng: Wen Chu, one year is up.
Wen Chu saw this WeChat message when she got off the plane. She paused for a few seconds, then put away her phone. Han Fei walked beside her and asked, "What's wrong? Who sent the message?"
Wen Chu raised his eyes and shook his head, "It's okay, it's just an irrelevant advertisement."
Han Fei smiled and put on his sunglasses: "Oh, there are indeed a lot of boring information."
"yes."
Wen Chu put on the mask, revealing only a pair of watery eyes, and walked out of the cabin with Han Fei. A large group of fans were waiting outside. At this time, the weather in Beijing had just turned cooler, and the windows were covered with fog.
The car is waiting outside.
But there were too many fans, and they were crowded. Bodyguards were surrounding them. Wen Chu and Han Fei walked together, and Han Fei occasionally protected Wen Chu.
Wen Chu saw a piece of news displayed on the LED screen above his head.
The president of Gu's Group recently met with the president of Geneva...
Wen Chu withdrew his gaze indifferently.
Soon, they walked out of the airport and the cars were parked outside. Wen Chu waved to the fans, smiled, got in the car and closed the door.
Zhu Ru pulled off her mask and breathed in sharply: "There are so many people."
Wen Chu did the same, gently pulled down his mask, took the cup of warm water handed to him by Xiaozhi and took a sip of warm water.
The car started.
Go to the award ceremony.
