For the past four days, Gu Yulin has been taking care of Xu Zhaozhao without leaving her side.
During class, he was worried about Xu Zhaozhao. As soon as get out of class ended, he rushed to her room and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.
Xu Zhaozhao's severe cold has almost recovered, but she still has a slightly nasal voice, which is not very noticeable unless you listen carefully.
Not wanting to think about anything, after waking up and eating, she asked Gu Yulin to bring some basic Lego sets, and the two of them built them together.
For example, Gu Yulin mostly assembled the little rabbit, while Xu Zhaozhao was responsible for attaching its two ears.
"Oh dear baby, is this a foot or a hand?!"
Xu Zhaozhao had just finished asking the question.
Ding-dong.
My phone beeped.
After everyone who sent her a WeChat message that day reported that they were safe, almost no one bothered her to rest.
It had been silent for a while, but the sound caught Xu Zhaozhao's attention.
Xu Zhaozhao put down the building blocks, picked up her phone, and unlocked it.
It was a message sent to her by Sister Yan.
Yan Jie: Zhao Jie, are you in Beijing?
Sister Yan: I'm away on a business trip. The director of "Crossing the River Moon" seems to have something to discuss in person, and it must be quite urgent.
Sister Yan: Why don't you go and take a look at the Holy Court?
Yan Jie: [You can't hit a smiling dog.jpg]
The director of "Crossing the River Moon"? Did they encounter some difficulties during the editing process?
Xu Zhaozhao dared not be negligent.
Xuxu: Okay, send me the meeting room number, I'll go check out the Holy Court.
After receiving the message from Sister Yan, Xu Zhaozhao patted Gu Yulin's head.
"Fish, Mommy's going to the office, I'll be right back!"
He nodded obediently, "Mom, wear something warm. If you catch a cold again, I won't take care of you."
Xu Zhaozhao knew he was being sarcastic, so she obediently put on a coat.
Gu Yulin, who stayed in the room, carefully put the building blocks on the floor back together one by one.
There are three block figures, a man and a woman, with a little boy standing in the middle.
Then, he pushed them down one by one, starting with the two on the very edge.
When only the tallest one remained, his hand paused.
Her large almond-shaped eyes were full of doubt.
Where did Gu Qingyan go?
Unable to get an answer to the question, the little hand gently pushed the block figure over, and it lay there with the fragments of the two blocks that had just been there.
...
Xu Zhaozhao arrived at the foot of the Shengting building, where security guards and employees called out "President Xu" repeatedly.
She responded somewhat awkwardly when I called her "I don't know."
When she arrived at the designated meeting room, director Luo Wen was waiting for her in front of the room, looking somewhat anxious.
Xu Zhaozhao walked over. "Director, what's wrong?"
When Luo Wen saw her, her serious expression softened, and she stuffed a stack of documents she was holding into her hands.
"Zhaozhao, the investors would like to discuss the specifics of our production with you in detail."
She held her hand, her expression conveying a sense of entrustment, "Take this contract with you! I'm counting on you!"
Xu Zhaozhao, holding the contract for the female lead in "Crossing the River Moon," was somewhat bewildered.
The investor contacted her privately?
That's really strange.
Xu Zhaozhao paused for a moment: "Okay, I'll go talk to him."
In the Holy Court, it can't be that they take advantage of her, a shareholder, through unspoken rules, can it?
As soon as he pushed open the conference room door, Luo Wen stopped him, saying, "It's not here."
As he spoke, the director led her into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor for her.
Luo Wen did not follow.
The elevator slowly ascended and smoothly reached the top floor.
bite.
As the elevator announced its arrival, the elevator doors slowly opened.
The moment Xu Zhaozhao saw Gou Ge, she understood everything.
Investor = Gu Qingyan.
She immediately pressed the down button and kept pressing the close button, Xu Zhaozhao wanted to go downstairs.
With a forced smile, Gou Ge said, "Madam, this elevator only goes up, it doesn't go down."
No wonder the elevator didn't respond at all.
Xu Zhaozhao took a deep breath, grabbed the contract, and quickly walked out.
Gou followed closely behind, almost tripping over his own feet.
At the very center of the top floor is the CEO's office.
Xu Zhaozhao didn't knock and just barged in.
Gu Qingyan sat at his desk, put on his standard work glasses, and looked down at the documents in his hands.
He held a fountain pen in his hand, his knuckles clearly defined.
Dressed in a black suit, he exuded nobility and elegance. Bathed in the light of a crystal chandelier, his skin appeared almost translucent.
Xu Zhaozhao walked slowly to him and placed the contract in front of Gu Qingyan's desk.
He flashed a professional, fake smile. "Investor, what would you like to discuss with me in detail?"
He didn't answer, nor did he look up at the contract in front of him, turning page after page to the end.
Then, he signed his name with a pen.
Close it.
He looked up at her, his eyes expressionless, and said, "Sit."
Xu Zhaozhao pulled over a leather chair and sat down. Gou Ge brought two cups of tea and placed them in front of them, making her feel incredibly hot.
A real couple's crematorium!
Xu Zhaozhao only glanced at it and didn't drink it.
Gu Qingyan generously took a sip and then took out a contract from the side.
He is the male lead in the drama "Crossing the River Moon".
He glanced at Xu Zhaozhao's contract and said, "Miss Xu, you must have had a purpose when you signed this contract, right?"
Xu Zhaozhao nodded. "Of course."
She signed the contract only after both she and Sister Yan had reviewed it.
"That's good."
He put down his teacup. "What does Miss Xu think of Article 8 on page 13 of the contract?"
She wanted to see what this man was really up to.
Xu Zhaozhao picked up the contract, turned to page 13, and found Article 8.
Before and after the drama airs, the female lead will need to cooperate with the male lead and second male lead to promote the new drama (including but not limited to creating a romantic pairing, being rumored to be dating each other, etc.).
This clause is normal and is found in the contracts of many film crews.
But given the current delicate relationship between the two, looking at this treaty... becomes somewhat awkward.
Xu Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow and said generously, "Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. I will cooperate where necessary."
It's just about creating a romantic pairing.
"very good."
Gu Qingyan's expression remained unchanged. He closed his contract and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up.
"I will also be at the variety show tomorrow. I hope Ms. Zhao Zhao... will keep her promise."
He emphasized the last four words.
Xu Zhaozhao stood up from the leather chair with the documents in her hand, extended her other free hand to him, and looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes, very seriously.
"Gu Qingyan, we can actually be friends."
Be friends?
Gu Qingyan gave a sarcastic smile to himself.
He didn't show it on his face, but put down his crossed legs and stood up.
He took a small handkerchief out of his pocket and, through the handkerchief, held her hand.
Xu Zhaozhao then smiled with satisfaction.
This action did not make her feel insulted.
Xu Zhaozhao hoped that Gu Qingyan could let go.
He pulled his hand out of the handkerchief and said, "It's a pleasure working with you."
He turned around and walked behind him.
Click.
Her figure disappeared through the doorway.
Gu Qingyan gently stroked the small handkerchief that Xu Zhaozhao had held hands with.
He slowly raised his hand, the small handkerchief moving to chin level, the wrinkles on it left from their clasping hands.
I could almost smell the fragrance of the freesias she left behind.
Slowly... he increased the pressure in his hands, the handkerchief was squeezed into more wrinkles, and his knuckles turned slightly white.
Those eyes that had been calm and unwavering before Xu Zhaozhao now held a stormy undercurrent.
Who wants to be your friend...?
Wife.
