Chapter 31, Childhood Sweetheart



Gu Wan took a look at the economic news and felt pretty good.

Chu Yuan received a call from the person he had sent out to investigate a few days ago.

"I'm not sure who it was, and I can't find out at all. But I heard the information provided was very professional and comprehensive. It doesn't seem like it was done overnight. It must have taken a long time to prepare."

Chu Yuan hummed and hung up the phone. This person's grudge against the Yu family didn't start overnight, and it was clear that there was no room for compromise.

Yu Ranran remembered what her mother said before she left, Cen Chao, yes, call Cen Chao.

Cen Chao had recently been busy with a script and was in a semi-secluded state. "Ran Ran, are you back home?"

Yu Ranran suddenly burst into tears, "Brother Cen Chao, something happened at my family. My parents were arrested, and my uncle is not willing to help at all."

Cen Chao closed the script. He and Yu Ranran had known each other since childhood, so he wouldn't refuse to help. "Don't cry. Where are you? I'll have my assistant pick you up."

Yu Ranran gave the address.

Cen Chao hung up the phone and called Cen Yao again.

"Brother, what's going on with the Yu family?"

Cen Yao said briefly, "Don't meddle in this matter. It has nothing to do with us."

Cen Chao couldn't believe it. "How could the Yu family be like this?"

Cen Yao poured a cup of tea and said, "You don't understand. Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. Haha."

When Yu Ranran saw Cen Chao, she ran over and hugged him, "Brother Cen Chao, I'm really scared."

Cen Chao reached out and patted her shoulder, "Don't cry, tell me if you have anything to say."

Yu Ranran finally calmed down. She couldn't care less. "Mom told me to take care of myself. Brother Cen Chao, I have to work hard to earn money to support myself."

Cen Chao felt that she had grown up, "Okay, whatever you want to do, I will arrange it for you."

Yu Ranran wanted to act. She knew that being an actor could make money. "Brother Cen Chao, can I sign with your studio? I don't know anything else, but in the entertainment industry, Brother Cen Chao can still help me."

Cen Chao saw that she was serious. "Filming is actually very tiring. It's not as glamorous as you see. Are you serious?"

Yu Ranran nodded firmly, or perhaps there was something else in her mind.

Cen Chao Studio has also signed some artists, and they are all doing well now. "Okay, I'll help you. Don't cry, you've all become little kittens."

Next, Cen Chao signed a contract with her, arranged an agent for her, and created a good persona for her. Nowadays, everyone who enters the entertainment industry needs a persona. It was probably because her parents' business went bankrupt, and she entered the industry to work to support herself, which sounded good to others.

"By the way, where is Cen Zhan? Didn't he come back with you?" Cen Chao thought of Gu Wan.

Yu Ranran took a breath and said, "He's probably busy. I'll go find him after I get through this difficult time."

Cen Chao wanted to meet Cen Zhan. What kind of person was he that Gu Wan had been thinking about him for so many years?

Yu Ranran rolled her eyes and asked, "Brother Cen Chao, do you like Gu Wan?"

Cen Chao didn't react for a moment, "Why are you asking this?"

Yu Ranran sighed, "I like Cen Zhan, but you know what? Gu Wan is Cen Zhan's childhood sweetheart, the one I told you about. I can see that you like her, Cen Chao. We are both so pitiful."

Cen Chao laughed at himself. It turned out that even Yu Ranran could see through his behavior. What about Gu Wan? Did she know, or did she know but turn a blind eye?

"No more talking. Just prepare well. I will push you to debut and arrange some roles for you."

Yu Ranran nodded quickly.

Cen Zhan tidied up at home during the day and took out his cell phone from the cabinet. He left in a hurry that year and forgot to take many things with him, including this cell phone. However, he had been paying for the number while abroad. He took the phone to the repair shop and didn't want to replace it. If that didn't work, he could only put the SIM card in another phone. But this phone contained a lot of memories and he didn't want to throw it away.

"This phone hasn't been used in a while. I need to repair it for a week. You can come pick it up then."

Cen Zhan paid the money before going back. When he passed by downstairs, he stopped and knocked on the door, not expecting anyone to respond.

Gu Wan sorted out a new batch of information and asked someone abroad to send it to various media reporters on her behalf.

The mining disaster needed to be re-investigated. The information she could find was limited, so she could only ask the authorities to investigate whether there were any other hidden secrets.

The two people in the Yu family not only have to bear the economic problems but also the lives. From today on, the show begins. No one can live quietly like this anymore. Someone has to pay the price, and those dead souls need to be comforted.

Suddenly, a mining accident that happened 19 years ago came back into the public eye.

Some videos of the on-site search and rescue operations are still available, but they are very blurry. The family members' screams and cries of grief were all recorded.

Gu Wan looked at the report silently.

Cen Chao saw the fermentation on the Internet, but only an hour had passed since he announced the new member Yu Ranran through the studio account. Frankly speaking, bankruptcy and mining accidents are two completely different concepts. It would be difficult for Yu Ranran to return to the industry unless everyone didn't dig it up.

Yu Ranran was very angry when she saw the information online. "Brother Cen Chao, didn't our family already pay compensation back then? Why won't they let us go? They should just shut up after taking the money."

Cen Chao frowned, "Ranran, you can't talk like that, that's a human life." Not everything can be solved with money.

Yu Ranran pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, I was just too anxious."

Netizens found from some videos that one of the three-year-old girls was standing alone and dirty, neither crying nor laughing, and looked dazed.

"I'm not seeing things, this is Gu Wan."

"Oh my god, it really is. Oh, yes, she's a movie queen now. I almost forgot she's an orphan."

"Oh my god, she's so pitiful. My nose is sore."

"It's my little goose girl. She's so tiny and looks so helpless."

"I really want to meet her sooner."

"What the hell, she looked alike when she was a child."

The online uproar grew more intense, and authorities intervened to thoroughly re-investigate the case from nearly twenty years ago, which had been reported by the Yu family as an accident.

Gu Wan saw many messages from fans, all of which were comforting her. She did not say anything and waited for an official response.

Yu Ranran was worried for a long time, she was afraid of being caught.

Chu Le had also been following the story online, but he hadn't expected it to be related to Gu Wan. Looking at Gu Wan in the video, he felt very uncomfortable.

Chu Yuan was in the office, checking Gu Wan's Weibo with a tablet and laughed. Now he suddenly understood, so she had been plotting against the Yu family from the very beginning. She wanted the Yu family to pay the price. She bankrupted the Yu family when Yu Ranran returned to China, and broke the news when Yu Ranran was about to make her debut. She was indeed cruel and ruthless, had a deep understanding of people's hearts, and had planned everything out.

Cen Zhan was not idle either. He had already set up his business in China, and he took up his post directly after returning to China.

The male lead that Gu Wan is working with this time is still Xu Cang.

Xu Cang watched Gu Wan sitting on a mat and reading the script or daydreaming when she was resting. In fact, he had always been very curious about Gu Wan, like a mystery.

"I saw everything that happened online. Are you okay?"

Gu Wan shook her head. "It's been so long. I hope there's nothing hidden. That way, I won't blame myself for taking so long to catch the murderer."

Xu Cang nodded and said, "Gu Wan, maybe you should have a relationship. You are still young."

Gu Wan laughed after hearing this, "Teacher Xu, I have someone I like. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xu Cang felt that Gu Wan was sometimes very tactful. She knew what to say in different situations. Sometimes she was very honest and could frankly say that she had someone she liked. This was enough for many people to learn from.

"Really? What kind of man is he?"

Gu Wan thought for a moment, raised her eyebrows, and said playfully, "It's someone I like."

Xu Cang smiled and shook his head, "Let's get to work."

Gu Wan's early styling in this drama did not require any makeup. As the heroine grew from young to old, there were decades of changes, so her later makeup required some effort, but it was not a big problem.

The director was initially a little worried, but he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the heroine's performance after she got older.

Gu Wan finished filming in May. She took a photo of herself at an old age and said, "Finished."

Fans didn't recognize him at first because he had changed so much.

Gu Wan still has to submit her thesis and she has also graduated.

Yu Ranran lives a carefree life and is not short of money. She has currently taken on the second female role or the female lead in several web dramas. The web dramas have a short shooting cycle and are released online quickly. She has a sweet appearance and has gained a group of fans.

The matter of Yu's parents had no impact on her. The fact that Cen Chao helped was another matter, but more importantly, it was because Yu Ranran was too confused.

Cen Zhan's company in China has gradually become more regular.

Yu Ranran goes to his company whenever she has nothing to do.

Cen Zhan was really busy during the period when he just returned to China. He only slept two or three hours a day at most. Then he remembered that he had forgotten to take his mobile phone, so he drove back to get it after work.

Yu Ranran insisted on sticking with him and going back together.

"I'm so tired from filming these days. Have you watched the TV shows I filmed?"

Cen Zhan was driving, "No, I'm busy."

Yu Ranran sat in the passenger seat, "Cen Zhan, have you seen Gu Wan since you came back?"

Cen Zhan's grip on the steering wheel tightened, "What do you want to say?"

Yu Ranran pursed her lips. "It's okay. Gu Wan's new drama has finished filming. She should have time. Don't you want to go see her?"

Cen Zhan never told anyone that he didn't know how to meet Gu Wan. There were many things between them that couldn't be explained clearly, and his feelings for Gu Wan were very complicated.

Seeing that Cen Zhan didn't say anything, Yu Ranran also shut up.

When Cen Zhan arrived at the repair shop, the owner recognized him immediately and said, "Your phone is fixed."

Yu Ranran wore a mask and sunglasses, afraid of being recognized. "You came back just to get this broken phone, what's inside?"

Cen Zhan didn't say anything or open it to read, and just put it in the car.

"I'll take you home."

Yu Ranran finally had some time, "I don't want to go home, I want to go back to your house."

Cen Zhan frowned.

Yu Ranran cried out, "Cen Zhan, my arm hurts." That was where she hurt Cen Zhan.

Cen Zhan knew she was lying, but still agreed to take her home.

Yu Ranran knew that this trick would always work and it was worth the blood she shed at that time. She had to know what was on the phone, otherwise she would not be able to sleep well.

Cen Zhan lived in an apartment near the company. It wasn't big, but it was more than enough for one person. He asked his assistant to arrange it for him before he came back.

Yu Ranran had been here before.

Cen Zhan received a phone call at the last minute, so he went home and went into the study to work.

Yu Ranran looked at the phone in the living room and picked it up. She saw hundreds of text messages inside. Gu Wan? All of them were from Gu Wan. What if Cen Zhan saw these text messages?

But these are also Gu Wan's handles. Gu Wan is now a movie queen, and it is a joke that the movie queen has a crush on someone else.

Yu Ranran used her mobile phone to record the screen, without missing a single one, and then deleted all the text messages in her hand. Only after doing all this did she put the phone down.

"Cen Zhan, I have something to do at the company, so I'll leave first." He shouted towards the study.

Yu Ranran's heart was still beating very fast on the way back, because she had something on Gu Wan.

Gu Wan had just finished writing a paper and sent it to her teacher when she yawned. The police also gave details about the mining accident that happened more than ten years ago online. Yu and Chu had re-explained the case and were now waiting for sentencing from the court.

This incident once again became a hot topic, and different families of the victims responded in the evening.

"We received compensation back then, but I would rather not have it and still want my father's company. I don't know why this matter has been brought up again, but now I am very sad because it was not a natural disaster, but a man-made one. I can return the money to them, but I only want my father's life."

Such a Weibo post became a hot topic and went viral.

Gu Wan just wanted to reveal the truth to the original owner. Yu Ranran had enjoyed decades of parental love, which was what the original owner lacked. The Yu family's affluent life was built on the suffering of fifty-eight families.

Chu Le thought for a long time and finally called Gu Wan.

"Are you okay?"

Gu Wan stood up and stretched her neck, "It's okay."

Chu Le didn't know how to start. "Let me tell you the truth. Yu Ranran and I are cousins. Yu Ranran is the daughter of the Yu family. You probably don't know her."

Gu Wan prepared to make a cup of coffee, "I know, I know Yu Ranran too."

Chu Le sighed, "Okay, my uncle said before that you signed me for a reason, and it turned out to be true. But I'm not angry at all, because you didn't hurt me."

Gu Wan looked at the coffee machine. "Yes, thank you."

Chu Le hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Yu Ranran looked at those people online scolding her parents. Didn't they already pay the money? Why were they still so stubborn?

Cen Chao was afraid that Yu Ranran would act impulsively, so he called her specifically to tell her not to talk nonsense online. Everything would be fine once this matter faded from the public eye.

Yu Ranran knew that she could only join the crew to film.

Gu Wan successfully obtained her graduation certificate in June and also posted a photo of herself wearing a bachelor's gown.

The post read, "Gu Wan finally graduated."

Fans have been waiting for Gu Wan’s Weibo, but she hasn’t posted anything. The more this happened, the more distressed they felt. But when they saw Gu Wan appear again, she didn’t mention the past at all.

"Happy graduation, girl goose."

"The goose girl is so beautiful."

"Goddess should be happy every day."

Gu Wan also became a hot topic because of her graduation, and some passers-by went in to see her. I didn’t expect that Gu Wan, who had already won the Best Actress award, had just graduated. She is really young.

Chu Le arranged for Gu Wan to be interviewed for a documentary, which has a total of twelve episodes, interviewing elites in different industries. Gu Wan's is in the first episode, which is also divided into two parts.

The host is very famous in the industry, his name is Qi Wen.

Gu Wan took him to the vicinity of the high school.

"This is where I spent my high school years. Back then, my family lived in that tube-shaped building. I had morning and evening self-study classes every day, just like everyone else."

Qi Wen was a woman in her thirties, very elegant and capable. She walked beside Gu Wan and said, "I can see that there are students going to school here."

Gu Wan smiled and nodded. She was wearing a white long dress with a belt around her waist and her hair was loose. She looked very casual. The setting sun fell on her, soft and beautiful.

“It’s really good to be young.”

Qi Wen smiled and said, "You are also very young. I am the one who is really old."

Gu Wan smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'm actually a very boring person normally."

Qi Wen looked at Gu Wan, "No, you have a rich and powerful heart."

The two of them walked to the front of the tube building while talking, "This is it, but it's not convenient for you to go in now."

Qi Wen looked at the wall quietly, as if searching for traces of Gu Wan. "You have excellent grades. How do you maintain them?"

Gu Wan thought for a moment, "My family was not well off back then, so I just wanted to get into a good university and find a good job in the future to relieve my grandmother's stress."

Qi Wen nodded slowly, it was indeed true.

They also went to the roadside that Yu Dekun had spotted at first sight. Gu Zhan pointed to that spot and said, "I was helping my grandmother with work here at the time. She was a sanitation worker and it was quite tiring. I would come here on Saturdays to help with the work, and then Director Yu came over."

The two of them sat in a milk tea shop near the school. "Gu Wan, have you ever thought about falling in love?"

Gu Wan pursed her lips and thought, "Actually, when we were filming the last drama, Teacher Xu also told me to have a relationship, but, it's a secret, I won't reveal the rest to you."

Qi Wen laughed heartily, and then he began to confess, "Gu Wan is actually a girl with a very rich inner world, but perhaps because of her experiences, she keeps her inner world very tightly wrapped up, as if refusing others to enter. This is her self-protection mechanism. I hope I can get to know her better in the future."

Yu Ranran is also going to be in a drama soon. Currently, she is considered to be a popular female lead in online dramas. Cen Chao is supporting her and has assigned her a separate publicity and promotion team.

The next day, Qi Wen continued the interview with Gu Wan.

This time it was more of a face-to-face chat, talking about Gu Wan's career and her road to fame.

"Actually, I was most impressed by your role in Director Nan Jin's That Spring. I felt very involved with your role."

Gu Wan wore a simple short-sleeved shirt with light-colored jeans today. She tied her hair into a bun and wore a pair of glasses, which softened her cold temperament and made her look more energetic. "That drama is actually my own struggle with my inner self."

Qi Wen hummed, "What do you mean?"

Gu Wan pushed up her glasses and said, "Because I also experienced school bullying. How should I put it? That kind of helplessness made me even want to commit suicide, but fortunately, I finally came out and resisted."

Qi Wen was actually a little shocked by Gu Wan's confession, "What about those people who bullied you now?"

Gu Wan shook her head with a smile on her face. "I have no recollection of that at all. I used a rather wrong approach. I'm actually quite good at fighting, and my resistance scared them. So if you in front of the screen experience this, please tell your parents and teachers. Don't try to solve it on your own, understand?"

Qi Wen pursed his lips and said, "Gu Wan, you are very brave."

Gu Wan smiled and hummed, "Thank you, I think so too."

Qi Wen mentioned other movies, "Every drama you star in is so good, do you have any secret?"

Gu Wan held her chin up and said, "To be honest, no, I just read the script and thought it was suitable, or I liked it very much, so I would take it."

Qi Wen chuckled, "You have good taste. After you finished filming 'The Film Man,' you disappeared for a whole year. What were you doing during that time?"

Gu Wan didn't hesitate. "I'm going to school. I go to school diligently, to the library, to the cafeteria. I like attending classes, and absorbing knowledge makes me feel very satisfied."

The same confession after Qi Wen finished.

"Gu Wan is a very opinionated and intelligent person. She knows exactly what she wants and doesn't want. Simply put, I like her very much, or maybe it's hard not to like her. The painful and difficult experiences in the past have shaped the Gu Wan of today. She has lived her life to the fullest and stood before everyone, dazzling and brave. But if I could meet the little Gu Wan, I would definitely hug her."

The first documentary was aired, titled "Gu Wan's Wild Growth."

Both episodes will be broadcast at 8 pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Gu Wan's campus violence, Gu Wan's growth, Gu Wan's inner richness, Gu Wan's strength, these terms became hot searches, and the hot searches about Gu Wan almost dominated the list, including the hot search list for short videos.

Fans can only feel heartache. What on earth did she go through to grow into the Gu Wan she is today, standing before them and becoming so powerful?

"I'm just a passerby. Gu Wan is so miserable. I think it's great that she didn't grow up crooked."

"I agree. Sometimes I feel like she's not human when she's sober."

"I also experienced school violence. It was really scary. Although it has been many years now, I still have nightmares."

"Hug the sisters upstairs."

Director Nan Jin also posted a Weibo.

"I've worked with Gu Wan twice. When we were filming that year, I was worried about her condition because she acted too much like a victim in the movie. I originally thought she was too emotionally invested. I talked to her alone, and she told me not to worry because she had been through it herself. At that time, I felt very sorry for her. Now I think since she said it frankly, it must be okay."

Fans left messages under Nan Jin’s Weibo.

“Thank you for your trust, Director.”

"What should I do? I want to cry even more."

"I declare the goose girl the best."

Chu Le has been sighing recently.

Chu Yuan was drinking coffee and reading in the living room when he saw her wandering in front of him. "What's going on?"

Chu Le suddenly stopped in front of him and said, "Uncle, can we give Gu Wan two more houses?"

Chu Yuan reached out and knocked on her head, "What are you thinking about all day long?"

Chu Le groaned and sat on the sofa. "I just feel very sad. If the mining accident hadn't happened, Gu Wan would definitely have parents. Would school violence still exist then? Wouldn't it have happened?"

Chu Yuan had watched the documentary. Ever since the last incident with the Yu family, he had paid special attention to Gu Wan. The Gu Wan in the video was honest, passionate, and brave, completely different from his previous judgment. Which one was the real her?

"If you have nothing to do, go back to your room and read more." After saying that, he stood up.

Yu Ranran’s new drama has started airing, but the recent attention has been on Gu Wan, and she is very anxious.

Her agent is Liang Jian, who is in his thirties and is very concerned about Yu Ranran. After all, he has his boss's instructions. "Ranran, I saw your resume before. Were you and Gu Wan classmates?"

Yu Ranran nodded, "Yes, senior year."

Liang Jian thought for a moment and said, "Since you two are classmates, she probably won't mind if you take advantage of her popularity."

The more I think about it, the more reliable it seems. After all, that's Gu Wan, a very popular figure in the entertainment industry, extremely famous.

Yu Ranran was resistant at first. She didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Wan, but if she could get her, it would be very useful.

“You can try to send it first.”

Liang Jian also quickly took action.

Yu Ranran was a little guilty at first, but then she thought about the fact that she had the leverage over Gu Wan in her hand, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Liang Jian controlled it very well. He just used the gimmick of Gu Wan's classmate in a small range and attracted a lot of attention from fans.

Yu Ranran’s followers are also increasing.

Later, Liang Jian simply bought a hot search, and you could see some comments by clicking on it.

"Yu Ranran is actually Gu Wan's classmate. What kind of magical class is this?"

"There are so many good-looking class leaders among them."

Chu Le discovered it first. After cursing for a long time in the office, she called Cen Chao directly and scolded him.

"We're all in the same circle, so Cen Chao, your eating habits might not be too bad."

"Just take care of your people. Yu Ranran is nothing."

"If you dare to take advantage of our Wanwan's popularity again, I will beat you up every time I see you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Gu Wan has accepted a film role and needs to fly out of town to meet the director.

Xu Cheng is now directly responsible for her. "Sister Gu Wan, the plane tickets are booked as you requested. We will be leaving soon."

Gu Wan nodded and put on her hat and mask. "Okay, let's go."

Xu Cheng was a little puzzled. The flight number for today's ticket seemed a bit strange. There was obviously a more suitable time.

"Sister Gu Wan, I'll take you to the airport and then back to the company."

Gu Wan nodded. Everyone around her knew that she was used to being independent and was not used to having a lot of people following her. This time she went to see the director just to chat and there was nothing else.

Xu Cheng sent Gu Wan through security check before going back with peace of mind.

When Gu Wan walked to her seat, she saw Cen Zhan. After not seeing him for four years, he had changed a lot, becoming more reserved and mature. He was wearing a mask and a hat with the brim pulled down very low.

Cen Zhan lowered his head to reply to the message before putting his phone away.

Two hours later, we arrived at our destination.

Gu Wan knew that Cen Zhan was here to discuss cooperation, so after meeting the director, she booked the same hotel as Cen Zhan.

hall.

Gu Wan was only wearing a hat.

Cen Zhan walked towards this side in a suit and tie, accompanied by an assistant.

The two people met in the hall.

Cen Zhan had imagined the scene of him and Gu Wan meeting again many times, but never was it so sudden.

When Gu Wan saw him, she just smiled.

The assistant noticed that the boss was motionless and staring at someone. He looked over and found that it was Gu Wan, a celebrity. No wonder.

Gu Wan put on a mask and walked in front of him.

"Long time no see, Cen Zhan."

The assistant looked at the boss in confusion. What was going on?

Cen Zhan clenched his hands in his pockets again and again, his eyes as calm as a still pond, as if he had no reaction at all. "Long time no see."

"You go back first and organize today's documents and send them to my email."

The assistant almost didn't react, then nodded randomly, "Okay, Mr. Cen, I'll go back first." After that, he ran away quickly.

The two of them sat down in a secluded corner.

Gu Wan looked at him and said, "I still haven't returned the clothes to you. I'll return them to you when we get back to Haicheng."

Cen Zhan took a sip of coffee and thought of the five million. "No need, just throw it away."

Gu Wan lowered her head and stirred the coffee in her hand. "Okay." Angry? Angry about the five million yuan, that's fine.

She took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go back first. Goodbye." After that, she stood up and turned back.

Cen Zhan looked at her back. He wanted an explanation, but Gu Wan didn't say anything and she didn't explain.

Gu Wan returned to her room and saw the message Chu Le had sent her. She replied with two words, "It's okay."

The words "Chu Le" made her furious. How could this be alright? Yu Ranran and Gu Wan had a grudge against each other. Gu Wan was just too generous.

Cen Zhan clenched his hands and sat there for a long time before leaving.

Gu Wan looked at the text messages on her phone. Did Cen Zhan not see the message she sent, or was there something else wrong? Cen Zhan's attitude today needed to be considered. Although he hadn't met Yu Ranran yet, it was obvious that progress had been slow in the past four years. As the heroine of the redemption story, Yu Ranran was set up to be innocent, kind and lively, but with average IQ. With her own redemption four years ago, it was difficult for Yu Ranran to enter Cen Zhan's heart. Her actions had left a deep impression on Cen Zhan's paranoid heart.

Early the next morning, Gu Wan got up to run. She had to meet with the screenwriter who was coming that afternoon.

Cen Zhan happened to meet Gu Wan when he walked out of the elevator. He wanted to say something, but Gu Wan just glanced at him indifferently and got into the elevator.

Gu Wan went back to take a shower, put on some light makeup, and then went downstairs to eat.

The assistant clearly noticed that Mr. Cen was in a bad mood today.

Gu Wan checked out of the room after the meeting in the afternoon and asked Xu Cheng to book a plane ticket back.

Cen Zhan finished his meeting at around ten o'clock in the evening. When he returned to the hotel, he couldn't help but go to the front desk to ask Gu Wan.

The receptionist couldn't have said anything, but looking at the doubled tip, she lowered her voice and said quickly, "Ms. Gu checked out this afternoon."

Cen Zhan chuckled lightly and turned back.

Gu Wan had just gotten off the plane and received a text message when she turned on her phone.

"Gu Wan, I have all your text messages. You know what to do."

After reading the message, Gu Wan finally figured out what happened. She hoped she could post it online, so she picked up her phone and called Chu Le.

"Contact Yu Ranran's agent and tell him not to take advantage of my popularity anymore."

Chu Le felt that he could no longer agree.

Liang Jian was called into Cen Chao's office and scolded.

Yu Ranran was about to go find Cen Chao, but was stopped by Liang Jian. "Stop making trouble, little ancestor. We didn't lose out this time. Your popularity has risen, and there are already quite a few scripts stuffed in."

Yu Ranran hummed, but still felt uncomfortable, "I understand."

Liang Jian took out a script and said, "This is a play directed by Yu Dekun. I'm trying to get you a female fifth role. Go and give it a try."

Yu Ranran took the script and said, "Let me take a look."

Yu Dekun is currently filming an IP drama with a male lead, and asked Gu Wan to make a guest appearance.

Gu Wan agreed.

Filming will start in a month.

Yu Dekun stood up angrily, "Yu Ranran, do you know how to act? Is it so difficult to cry?"

Gu Wan heard these words as soon as she arrived at the scene, and then saw Yu Ranran standing in the crowd, crying pitifully, but obviously because she was scolded.

To be innocent and carefree requires a sufficiently affluent life and a temperament that can be cultivated under the influence of love, but now she has obviously lost all these innate conditions. Her arrogance will become disgusting, and being too innocent will make her seem brainless.

This was the second time she had seen Yu Ranran since she started the mission, and she hadn't made much progress.

"Okay, let's rest first."

Yu Dekun was a little angry. He used her because of Cen Chao's face, and she was even a classmate of Gu Wan.

Gu Wan walked up to Yu Dekun and asked, "Director Yu, are you angry?"

Yu Dekun saw Gu Wan roll her eyes and said, "That's it. Forget it. You don't have many scenes. We can finish filming this afternoon."

Gu Wan nodded, "Then I'll go change my clothes and put on makeup first."

Yu Dekun nodded.

Gu Wan played the young Empress Dowager in the play, which was also used as a memory.

There are only three or four scenes in total.

Yu Ranran did not leave the set in the afternoon. She was watching Gu Wan filming. Each scene went by very quickly. This was the second time she saw Gu Wan. That time was when Cen Zhan's mother passed away. But she probably didn't recognize her, nor did she know that she had been with Cen Zhan for four years.

It was already 7pm when Gu Wan finished filming. "Director, I'll take off my makeup and catch my flight back home tonight."

Yu Dekun was very grateful, "Thank you for taking the trouble to come here."

Gu Wan smiled and shook her head, "Director Yu is still polite to me."

Yu Ranran saw with her own eyes that there were many people surrounding Gu Wan, and the director was talking to her in a gentle manner. Although only four years had passed, the distance between them seemed to be very large.

"Gu Wan is so beautiful and a nice person. I always thought she was aloof and quiet."

"Yeah, you said I'll go ask for an autograph later, will she give it to me?"

Yu Ranran listened to the conversation between the two staff members next to her before turning around and leaving.

Gu Wan hasn't texted Cen Zhan since he returned to China, and there's no need to do that now.

The first time Cen Chao met Cen Zhan was at the Cen family.

Cen Quan checked the time and asked, "When will your brother come back?"

Cen Chao sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. "Brother is not coming back. Just tell me what's going on. It's nothing important anyway."

Cen Quan snorted coldly, "This is Cen Zhan, you haven't seen him either. Although you don't have the same mother, you both have the surname Cen.

Cen Chao felt it was very boring and stood up. He said, "You two should just stay close as father and son." Then he turned and left.

Cen Zhan didn't stay either, he stood up and left.

Cen Chao leaned against the car and waited for him to come out, looking at him, "Cen Zhan, I finally see you."

Cen Zhan adjusted his cuffs and waited for his next words.

Cen Chao shook his head in self-mockery, "You're nothing special. How could she still remember you so much?"

Cen Zhan was suddenly stunned. "What did you say?"

Cen Chao walked up to him with a provocative look in his eyes, "Cen Zhan, you weren't that miserable during those ten years out there. At least you met Gu Wan." After saying that, his eyes showed some helplessness, "I really envy you." After saying that, he turned around and drove away.

The author has something to say:

You are nothing but so-so, on what basis can she never forget you? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
