“Speak properly.” Lu Yaoyao felt he was going to be frivolous again.
“Well, then you should check how much Little Cai’s film company invests in productions every year? The investment in Xu Zhao is just a small part, and it wasn’t my instruction. Yaoya, if I meddled in even such trivial matters, I’d probably be overworked to death by now.”
That sounds reasonable.
She reasoned backward from her own conclusions, seeing only what she wanted to see, which may not have been the truth.
On one hand, Lu Yaoyao couldn’t bear the fact that her pain for so long was dismissed by his few words. On the other hand, she felt so happy that she was about to burst. As long as he didn’t lie to her, and he had nothing to do with Xu Zhao, then everything else wouldn’t be a problem.
Her emotions were always written on her face. Now that she was in a good mood, even her eyes crinkled with smiles.
Gu Ruandong rolled over and devoured her with little hesitation.
“How do you know I’m not on my period?” She had just lied to him.
He smiled but said nothing.
Lu Yaoyao guessed: “Found in the bathroom?”
He shook his head, grinning wickedly, which only made Lu Yaoyao more curious, so she chased after him and asked.
“How did you find out?”
“I wonder,” he asked.
“Of course.”
He then pointed to her chest and replied frankly, “When you have your period, it’s different here.”
Um… how can you be so frank about that?
Lu Yao yao blushed to the roots of her ears, but she refused to back down.
“Young Gu is indeed experienced! I admire you.”
He shook his head: “Practice makes perfect.”
“Are you well-traveled?”
He’s too shameless!!! But she likes him, what can she do? She can only bury her face in his chest and smile foolishly. She’s finished.
She can also be heartless sometimes.
She doesn’t hold grudges, anger doesn’t last long, and sadness doesn’t linger either. She gets over things easily, especially after Gu Ruandong knew she had two days off, he pushed back all his work to spend time with her wholeheartedly. After that, how could she still remember the self-doubt and inferiority complex brought about by Xu Zhao?
The entire May Day holiday was so enjoyable that she completely forgot about the trouble she had caused at the event. When the holiday ended, she happily returned to the film set.
After sending Gu Ruan to the airport, Gu Rendong drove straight to Baili Club. He hadn’t been there for a while, Xiao Cai and Yu Yu were waiting for him at the door.
Yu Yu asked Xiao Cai: “Gu Shao hasn’t been busy out of town recently? How come he has time to come?”
As they were talking, Gu Ruandong walked over with a grim expression. He didn’t even glance at them as he passed by. But the two of them hurriedly followed him, keeping half a step behind until they reached his room.
Gu Ruan Dong sat there, and only then glanced at Yu Yu.
“Did you go to Xu Zhao?”
Yu Yu was so smart, she understood immediately that it was the young lady who had filed a complaint. She calmly replied: “Yes, it’s normal human interaction.”
She has a good relationship with Xu Zhao and often visits him on set. Everyone knows it.
“Yu Yu, you should know best that I don’t like people who play games under my nose.”
“Mr. Gu, although I don’t know how Miss Lu spoke to you, Xu Zhao and I have been friends for many years, and Miss Lu has no right to interfere with my communication with Xu Zhao.”
Gu Ruandong glanced at her, very coldly, and then said
Don’t overestimate yourself, she wouldn’t stoop to speak to you.
This statement was incredibly powerful, and Yu Yu’s face kept shifting between pale and flushed. She had prepared thoroughly, taking the utmost care, but it seemed the other person didn’t even regard her as an opponent.
is not Gu Ruan <<<
Dong should have been protecting Lu YaoYao, but actually Lu YaoYao throughout the entire process only stated facts and didn’t say a single subjective judgment. She is very well-cultivated.
“You don’t have to come to Baoli Club anymore. The club on the west side has just been renovated, and you’ll be in charge there.” The club on the west side is near the suburbs. Going there means being abandoned by Gu Ruandong, and it will be difficult to rejoin the core team later.
Yu Yu wanted to say something more, but Xiao Cai pulled her back. This was already Gu Shao giving her a chance; otherwise, he would have directly asked her to leave.
After Yu Yu’s matter was settled, Xiao Cai felt a little uneasy too. But after thinking it over carefully, he realized that he hadn’t gone out of his way to provoke the young lady. Besides, he had always been respectful when she called occasionally. He figured it should be fine.
Gu Ruandong glanced at him: “Is this time Xu Zhao’s play, invested by Gu’s?”
“Yes, the departments below have assessed that this show has a high return on investment, so they invested a portion of it.”
“Let’s call it off.”
“Young Master Gu, we’ve already put in half the investment. If we withdraw now, not only will the initial investment be lost, but there will also be a hefty penalty fee.” Xiao Cai didn’t understand. Young Master Gu used to go wherever the money was to be made, and now he was losing money everywhere. You’re dating someone, you don’t have to be so extravagant, do you?
“And this year, for our film and television investment, this is the biggest project. If it’s canceled, it would be like a whole year of wasted effort.”
But Gu Ruandong insisted: “Find other projects to invest in.”
“Okay,” Xiao Cai could only reply reluctantly.
As soon as the funding was withdrawn on this side, Xu Zhao’s producer immediately called Xiao Cai to get the situation. Xiao Cai couldn’t directly say that Gu Shao didn’t invest,
Xiaocai knew the reason, but it couldn’t be brought to light. All he could do was apologize.
The producer only said, “An apology is unnecessary. I just want to know the reason. You know that Xu Zhao’s dramas are always profitable, and many film companies are lining up to sponsor them afterward. It was Xu Zhao who requested to collaborate with you, so we agreed. Now you want to withdraw your investment, it’s really not giving Xu Zhao face.”
“I will personally apologize to Miss Xu.”
Besides that, what else could Xiao Cai say? His own boss usually kept himself in check, but occasionally indulging once in a while, spending a fortune for the sake of a smile from a beautiful woman, he could only support him.
Gu’s withdrawal of investment didn’t affect Xu Zhao’s play at all. One company pulled out, and another quickly stepped in. However, Xu Zhao also found it a bit strange. When Xiao Cai called to apologize, she asked <<<
“Haven’t Gu’s financial issues been resolved yet?”
Xiao Cai stammered and said no, but couldn’t explain anything further.
“If it’s a funding issue, you don’t have to break the contract. I can put up my own funds first, just consider it as your investment. Don’t worry, I won’t ask for dividends later, just return the principal.”
“It’s not for that reason. There are some disagreements within our film company. I’m sorry, Ms. Xu.”
After Xiao Cai hung up the phone, she sighed, feeling touched but unable to put her emotions into words.
Over here, Xu Zhao hung up the phone and saw Lu Yaoyao and her assistant walking towards them from a distance. The two were chatting and laughing, looking in high spirits.
On the contrary, Xu Zhao wasn’t in a good mood today. He greeted them and left after that.
Lu Yaoyao was listening to her assistant tell her about the online buzz.
Anyway, Yuan Binghuan can’t make any waves anymore, his campus drama was originally supposed to be >>>
“The website wanted to stream, but it got banned again these past few days.”
