Chapter 2 Eating



The door of the locker room was opened, and a man in a suit and vest walked in while pulling his tie. He was a little surprised to see Gu Qingchi still lying on the sofa.

"Qingchi, you're still here? Aren't you going home?"

Gu Qingchi was lying on the sofa next to his locker, with his arms in front of his eyes to block out the light.

The sofa was too small. He was 1.83 meters tall, with perfect proportions, and his long legs were curled up and resting on the armrests of the sofa.

He was still wearing a uniform, the Western style of tailoring showed off his figure perfectly, and his waist was particularly attractive, like bamboo, thin and tough, making people want to touch it.

It’s hard to imagine that a man’s waist can be so heart-stirring.

The strands of hair that just reached the ears were scattered on the sofa, looking sexy and erotic, and even the shabby sofa looked much more upscale.

Hearing this, he moved his hand away, turned to look at the person who came, and smiled.

"I'm a little tired, lie down for a while."

Gu Qingchi found a job as a waiter in a Western restaurant. The salary was good, but it was tiring.

When Gu Qingchi was the character Gu Qingchi, he had a villa and a secondary card with an unknown upper limit that he could use.

Now that the plot is over, all these have been taken back. Even if they are not taken back, Gu Qingchi probably won't touch them again. It's a pity.

There are not many jobs suitable for Gu Qingchi. He used to be a graduate of a prestigious university, but the education he got randomly in this life is only a high school diploma.

This western restaurant is quite famous, with many wealthy people coming and going, and they are generous with their money. The salary plus tips are very considerable, and the interview threshold has also risen accordingly.

The original minimum educational requirement was a bachelor's degree, and Gu Qingchi's high school diploma was not enough to qualify. He was able to successfully apply for the job thanks to his fluent English.

The colleague had already taken off his suit vest and opened his storage box. Gu Qingchi glanced at the clock on the wall and said curiously.

"It's only ten o'clock. Are you changing shifts already?"

"We were notified at short notice that our place was reserved. Only two supervisors and the manager stayed. I heard it was a party for the crew to start filming. It was a big event. They reserved the whole place. It was a big deal."

As the colleague spoke, he took out a piece of chocolate from the pocket of his suit vest and threw it to Gu Qingchi.

"Eat something to fill your stomach. You haven't eaten yet."

Gu Qingchi grunted and caught the chocolate that was thrown to him. He curled up on the sofa, still looking a little sleepy.

He looked at the chocolate, bit open the package with his teeth, frowned, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

She is such a gorgeous beauty, but she seems to have a unique kind of elegance when doing such rough actions.

This chocolate is quite expensive. It’s a foreign brand and has German words all over it.

These are small gifts prepared for guests in the restaurant. If the guests don’t touch them, they will all be thrown away when the table is cleared, so the waiters on duty sometimes take a few pieces, and the foreman sometimes shares them.

The taste was a bit bitter. Gu Qingchi always tried to swallow it before tasting the bitterness, but he failed this time. As soon as it entered his mouth, the bitterness spread in his mouth.

My colleague had already changed into casual clothes and was about to go out. He found it a little funny to see him frowning and swallowing quickly.

"I forgot that you are afraid of suffering. I don't understand you. You are so afraid of suffering, but every time you give it to me, you eat it."

Gu Qingchi closed his eyes and looked very sleepy, perhaps because he hadn't woken up yet, his tone was a little tender. When he lowered his eyes and looked at people, he looked very intoxicating, and every word he said seemed to be on the tip of his tongue.

“Because you gave it to me.”

My colleague is a tall young man with a shaved head. He looks tough and handsome. His ears turned red when he heard this.

Although he knew very well that Gu Qingchi had no other intentions.

He is not the special one, Gu Qingchi is like this to everyone.

It’s not that he does it on purpose or anything, it’s just like Gu Qingchi’s nature, making you feel as if you are very valued in his eyes.

Even so, the young man said in a low voice with red ears.

"Next time I'll bring you something sweet."

After saying that, he closed the door gently.

I don’t know if Gu Qingchi heard it or not, he had already fallen asleep.

It was already eleven o'clock when he woke up.

It was time to go back, but Gu Qingchi was not in a hurry. The house he rented was not far from here, and it only took seven or eight minutes to walk there.

He hadn't changed his uniform yet, so he stood up slowly to change his clothes. His tie was untied and casually draped around his neck. His shirt was half taken off, revealing half of his shoulders and back, when the door suddenly opened.

Gu Qingchi looked back when he heard the voice.

The person at the door was smoking a cigarette, and the air was filled with smoke. The lights near the door were considerately turned off by a colleague, and only the lights in the locker room were on.

This means that in the eyes of the people at the door, Gu Qingchi is like standing under a spotlight, everything can be seen clearly, but Gu Qingchi can only see a blurry human figure, vaguely recognizing that the other person is a tall man.

Most people would be somewhat at a loss if they were suddenly exposed to other people's sight like this, but Gu Qingchi seemed to be oblivious to it.

He tilted his head, lazily, not caring.

"What's up?"

Gu Qingchi had already stopped taking off his clothes when the other party accidentally walked in.

Now half of his shoulders and back were still exposed under the light, dazzlingly white, and his waist and abdomen were full of tight muscles, but not exaggerated, with a kind of smooth and beautiful lines.

Every part of his body exists first and foremost for beauty.

At this moment, Gu Qingchi looked over casually, his seaweed-like hair tangled in a beautiful arc at his neck, like a man-eating mermaid in the sea.

This scene directly caught Xie Luyu's eyes, and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground.

The foreman came out at some point and saw Xie Luyu standing at the door of the staff locker room, so he quickly walked over.

"Mr. Xie, I'm so sorry to come out just now to show you the way. Our smoking room is next to it, and this is our employee locker room."

Xie Luyu seemed to have just come to his senses and closed the door heavily before the foreman could get a glimpse of the beautiful scene inside.

He picked up the cigarette butt that had just fallen on the ground with a bit of embarrassment.

"Sorry, I opened the wrong door just now. Please apologize for me."

The head waiter looked at him strangely and went back to the restaurant.

"That's weird, he stopped smoking right after he came out."

Gu Qingchi just happened to have changed his clothes and opened the door to come out.

The foreman was not surprised. This was not the first or second time that Gu Qingchi had slept in there. He often didn't even eat and would just fall asleep. Xie Luyu probably ran into him in there just now.

"Falling asleep in there again? Wait a minute, I'll go get you something to eat. It's late at night and there's nowhere to eat."

Gu Qingchi was not polite either.

"Okay, give me another bottle of wine, and the money will be deducted from my salary."

The food in the restaurant will not be kept overnight, and employees are allowed to take the excess back, but this is not allowed for alcohol.

The foreman patted him on the shoulder.

"That's a nice thought. I think we should just take whatever we can get. Forget about the wine. It's late at night and it's not good for our stomach."

Then he went to the kitchen.

Gu Qingchi was waiting for him at the door of the locker room. Looking out the window, he saw advertisements being put up on the outer wall of the building opposite.

Endorsed by Xie Luyu, this is an international clothing brand that takes a high-end approach.

This brand is very arrogant and has never chosen a spokesperson in China. A few days ago, it signed a three-year contract with Xie Luyu, which became a hot topic on Weibo for several days.

Everyone around has been discussing this matter these days, even Gu Qingchi, who doesn't pay much attention to these things, knows about it.

No wonder, the 27-year-old movie emperor is in great demand.

The title of Best Actor is not given casually, only the winner of the Gold Cup is qualified to be called Best Actor.

Xie Luyu just won the Gold Cup this year, and his popularity and status have soared. No wonder many big-name endorsements have come to him.

This world is similar to but also different from the world where Gu Qingchi lives. Its film and television industry is unprecedentedly developed, and the entertainment industry is thriving.

As the industry develops at an advanced pace, there is a set of international standards for the evaluation of actors and film and television works, which is very authoritative. The evaluation of actors and works is separate.

The best performers will be awarded a gold cup.

It’s a pretty vulgar name, but its value is not vulgar at all. The conditions for obtaining the Gold Cup are very strict. After all, there are excellent works every year, but there are not necessarily excellent actors.

Only when a certain number of excellent works are reached can they be eligible to compete for the Gold Cup, which is awarded every three years. Generally, the winners are senior people who have accumulated experience for a period of time. There have been only three winners from China over the years, and the youngest one was 37 years old when he won the award.

Xie Luyu is indeed a genius in acting.

Xie Luyu's heart was pounding, his mind was full of the scene just now. The other party obviously didn't reveal much, but the impact was too great. He was like a young boy seeing a beautiful senior schoolmate, and he was actually a little at a loss.

He sniffed the remaining cigarette smell between his fingers, and finally calmed himself down.

Director Chen turned around and saw Xie Luyu. The project he had been preparing for for a long time had finally started filming, and he was so happy that he drank too much.

Greeted Xie Luyu happily.

"Come on, have a drink with me."

The screenwriters sitting around Director Chen smiled and made way for Xie Luyu.

Xie Luyu sat next to him.

"Are you still drinking? My sister-in-law will scold me later."

Xie Luyu met Director Chen when he just made his debut. At that time, Xie Luyu was still very young and frivolous. He could do nothing but act and had a bad temper. It can be said that it was Director Chen who brought him into the industry step by step.

The two of them are both teachers and friends, and they talk casually.

Director Chen patted his thigh.

"Hey, aren't you here? I told you that I came out with you and nothing happened, but your sister-in-law believed you. It's really strange."

"Then this is my personal charm, you definitely don't understand."

Director Chen choked.

"I don't know how you got to this point with such a bad temper."

Xie Luyu was not at all shy.

"Then it's all exposed online. It's all about my face. You were attracted by my good looks back then."

Director Chen looked at his face and couldn't say anything against his will.

"How many people are eager to transform, but you just beat yourself back with one blow."

"What do you mean by fighting back? I have never fought back."

Director Chen thought, that's right, he was born to do this, he started out as an actor, and looking back now, every role he played is a classic.

Before he could pull Xie Luyu aside to reminisce about the past, he heard Xie Luyu say.

"Then I haven't always looked good, all natural, you know?"

Director Chen shut up silently. If you want to be more flirty, it’s still Xie Luyu. This chatterbox has not been beaten to death yet, probably because of his strong professional ability.

Director Chen is almost 50 years old. Although he is still a trend-setter at the forefront of the times, he still has some middle-aged problems. In recent years, he especially likes to talk to people.

"You have to know that there are people out there—"

He originally wanted to thank Lu Yu, to make him feel less guilty and focus on improving his acting skills, but just as he was about to speak, he remembered that the man in front of him had just won the gold cup, and changed his mind halfway.

"There are so many good-looking people like you. Nothing lasts forever. Nowadays, young girls like young people. You are good now, but how will you make a living in two years?"

Director Chen had drunk too much and was beginning to lose his mind. He was genuinely worried about the future of the actor who had just been crowned Best Actor.

The heroine next to her almost spit out a mouthful of food.

Xie Luyu nodded, thinking about the person in the locker room just now. Hearing Director Chen say "there are people out there", it was rare that he didn't say anything bad about him.

"Looks quite young."

For such a person, once he enters the entertainment industry, even if he knows nothing, it will not be a problem for him to become a top traffic star.

Seventy percent of the beauties in this world have entered the entertainment industry. Xie Luyu thought he had seen the world, but he was too superficial.

It turns out that there are still many experts among the people.
