Chapter 1761
Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing
Translator: 549690339
Gu Xin accompanied the film crew to the mountain city.
This was a city built on a mountain. There were small alleys and stone slabs everywhere, tall buildings everywhere, and neon lights everywhere.
The entire city gave people a feeling of prosperity mixed with a sense of antiquity.
Many artists liked to linger here.
Gu Xin felt that she had no artistic talent at all. She was just a layman. She felt that this kind of place was suitable for manman, not her.
She looked at the filming crew in boredom.
She watched everyone play games and challenge projects.
There were many ways to kill time, so why must she use such a method.
No one could hear her complaints anyway. When she left Wen City, her father was very pleased to say that she had finally grown up and could finally go on business trips for work.
She could say that she was just sent to the border.
She waited for the filming crew to finally finish.
Actually, it was already early in the evening and it was already 8 pm.
She had been starving until now, and the people of Mountain City loved eating chili.
It was exactly what she wanted.
She guessed that she was going to eat Hotpot Tonight and was bored by herself, so she went to ask the director out.
The director said that he didnât eat chili.
Gu Xin didnât force him. However, this episodeâs Celebrity Guest, Qiao Tian, heard that Gu Xin was going to eat Hotpot, so she ran over and said, âLetâs go together. I love eating chili too. Anyway, weâll call it a day after filming tomorrow. Letâs indulge a little today.â
âI donât think thatâs a good idea.âGu Xin looked at Qiao Tian with interest.
After all, she was a celebrity. If someone recognized her and caused a commotion, that would be terrible.
âThere arenât many celebrities in this place. Many people wonât be able to recognize me. âWe can just find a place with a better environment to eat. Itâs fine. I used to sneak out of the production team to eat. Coincidentally, my manager isnât around these past two days. With him around, he wonât allow me to eat this or that.â. âLetâs go, letâs go.â
Gu Xinâs ears were soft, and she didnât find anyone to eat with, so she agreed.
The two of them left the set and went out to eat hotpot.
Gu Xin saw that Qiao Tian could eat even more than her, so she really opened her stomach and ate.
How Hungry was she? !
It was as if she had just experienced a famine!
After the two of them finished eating, Gu Xin didnât dare to stay any longer. She brought Qiao Tian back and especially sent her to a hotel to settle down before leaving.
She couldnât afford to make any mistakes in the reality show. If she made any more mistakes, gu enterprise would probably be wiped out by her.
After returning to her room, she was about to go to bed after showering and applying her face mask when a staff member suddenly knocked on her door, âMiss Gu, are you asleep? Qiao Tian was sent to the hospital just now. She said she had food poisoning. You were the only one with her tonight. What did she eat? !â
Gu Xin opened the door and said, âWe only ate hotpot!â
âWhy did you bring her to eat Hotpot? Celebrities pay a lot of attention to food. Itâs practically forbidden to eat such spicy food,âthe staff member said anxiously.
âThen, letâs go to the hospital to take a look.âGu Xin was also a little scared.
âLetâs go.â
Gu Xin hurriedly ran to the hospital with the staff.
In the hospital, Qiao Tian was in the emergency room.
Director Wang and the other staff were waiting in the hospital corridor. Gu Xin was also waiting. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. She kept feeling that she had done more harm than good.
After waiting for about half an hour.
Qiao Tian was pushed out and everyone rushed over.
âHow is it, doctor? Is it food poisoning?âDirector Wang asked immediately.
Gu Xin also looked at the Doctor eagerly.
âIt can be considered as such. âBut itâs not as serious as being poisoned. Itâs food allergy. âMiss Qiao is allergic to Pepper and her entire body is covered in red spots. Fortunately, itâs within the normal range of allergy. With some water and some medicine, she should be able to recover in about a week.â
âYou Need a week? !âDirector Wang couldnât help but ask. He turned his head to look at Qiao Tianâs completely allergic face.
They still had some filming to do at the end of the day!
Gu Xin wasnât feeling well either.
Qiao Tian wanted to cry but had no tears. âI didnât know that I was allergic to pepper either. In the past, my manager didnât prepare anything too hot for us to eatâ¦â
âForget it. You should recuperate first. Iâve called your manager. She should be rushing over overnight,âdirector Wang said.
âNo Way!âQiao Tian cried to death.
She wasnât going to be scolded to death by her manager.
She turned to look at Gu Xin.
Only then did gu Xin truly feel that she had nothing to live for.
It was her first time following the production crew to do something, yet she had caused such a huge mess.
âCome with me.âDirector Wang called Gu Xin after he had settled Qiao Tian down.
Gu Xin followed his footsteps.
âQiao Tian will definitely not be filming again. I canât handle this matter,âdirector Wang said. âQiao Tian will still be in the majority tomorrow. If she is suddenly gone, there will be no way to film.â
âYou told Zhai An, right?â
âI have no choice. I will report to him first. As for the arrangements after that, it will depend on CEO Zhaiâs opinion.â
âOkay.âGu Xin nodded.
Gu Xin would only arrive at the hotel in the middle of the night.
She could not sleep for the entire night.
She did not know what Zhai an would do. She was probably extremely disappointed in her.
The next day.
Because of Qiao Tianâs matter, the shooting of the film crew was delayed. They did not receive the latest notification from the higher-ups. Hence, the shooting crew had a day off temporarily and was free to move around in Mountain City.
Early in the morning, Gu Xin went to look for director Wang.
When she knocked on the door, she saw Zhai an in director Wangâs room.
She paused for a moment and was ready to leave.
âGu Xin, come over,âzhai an called out to her.
Gu Xin bit her lip and went over.
Zhai an had arrived so early. Did she rush over last night as well.
âIâm discussing the recording of this episode with director Wang Now. Sit Down and listen to it.â
âOkay.â
Zhai an turned her head to director Wang. She had a really good temper. He said, âOur current situation is that Qiao Tian Canât film anymore, but she has to be involved in the rest of the content. Weâre also very tight on time.â
âYes. Iâve thought about it a lot last night. Itâs actually okay to change the star,âdirector Wang said. âWhen the time comes, we can say that Qiao Tian suddenly fell ill and stopped filming midway. Other guests will take her place.â
âHave you chosen the guests?â
âMy suggestion is to let our guests come earlier for the next episode.â
Zhai an nodded. âIâll go and communicate with them.â
âOkay. But time is tight on our side. As it involves post-production cuts, we are a new team and we still need to get used to each other. Therefore, we have to leave more time.â
âI know.â
âAlso, director Zhai,âdirector Wang said, âQiao Tianâs manager is making a big fuss now. She called me in the middle of the night yesterday and asked our production team to give her an explanation. No matter what, they had an accident at our place. I gave them an excuse last night and started making a fuss again this morning. I Canât handle it anymore.â
âI will handle this matter. You can calm the other staff and the guests of the reality show and get ready for the next shoot.â
âOkay.â
Zhai an said some more things to director Wang before leaving with Gu Xin.
Gu Xin followed behind Zhai an and her entire body hung low.
The two of them sat in Zhai Anâs temporary car on the set and asked the driver to drive them to the hospital.
At this time, they were definitely going to visit Qiao Tian.
As the car drove, Zhai an called the manager of the guests from the previous episode to tell her about coming to the filming earlier. After much persuasion, the other party seemed to have agreed to talk about it, but they did not agree to it immediately.
After the call, they arrived at the hospital.
Zhai an brought Gu Xin to the hospital again.
When they reached the door of Qiao Tianâs Ward, Zhai an stopped her. âGu Xin, do you know why we went in?â
âTo explain,âGu Xin said.
âNo, to apologize.â
âActually, itâs not my fault. When I went out to eat, Qiao Tian insisted on going with me. I also rejected her at that timeâ¦âGu Xin tried to explain herself.
âI will tell you that what you said is useless!â! âIn the agreement we signed with the celebrities, the safety agreement was very clear. No matter what the celebrities do during filming, it is our responsibility. Not to mention, you were the one who brought her out.â
Gu Xin bit her lip. She did not think too much about it.
Zhai an did not say anything else and pushed the door open.
Qiao Tian was still lying on the bed. Her face was terrible to look at.
It was natural for her manager to be so angry. After all, celebrities relied on their faces to make a living!
âBrother Da Wei,âZhai an took the initiative to greet him.
Da Wei took a look at Zhai an. His expression did not improve. His voice was very sarcastic. âPresident Zhai, Iâm flattered that you came personally.â
âItâs also our negligence to appear in such a situation. We will compensate Miss Qiao and the management company accordingly.â
âCompensation? If our Tian Tianâs face is ruined, how will you compensate us?â
âCalm down. The Doctor said that itâs just a common allergy. It will be completely healed in a week.â
âDo you know how many jobs our Tian Tian has been delayed this week? !â
âI know. We are all willing to bear it.âZhai an said sincerely.
âAlthough Iâm not so angry now that you said that, I still feel uncomfortable no matter how I look at it.â
âIf you have any requests from Big Brother, feel free to mention them. We can fulfill them as much as we can.â
âIâm a straightforward person and I donât like to beat around the bush. âI have an artist on my hands. Sheâs neither hot nor cold, but sheâs indeed hardworking and capable. Sheâs just a little lacking in skill. âI hope that the next few episodes of your program can be used to make her a celebrity guest.â
Zhai an was a little silent.
This kind of negotiation was the favorite tactic of the management company.
Usually, when a famous artist signed a contract, the management company would send an artist who was not very popular, just so that they would not let go of any opportunity to give their own artists more opportunities to perform.
âNo?âDavid looked at Zhai An.
âNo, itâs mainly because the next few episodes of the program have already confirmed the celebrity guest. Itâs a little difficult.â
âI donât mind our Yaoyao participating with other celebrities. Also, I wonât ask too much for the appearance price.â
âOkay.âZhai an nodded.
Since they had already reached this point, it would be embarrassing for both of them to refuse.
Upon hearing Zhai anâs agreement, da Weiâs expression became a little better. âChief Zhai, youâre still very kind. The artist I have is called Tang Yaoyao. Iâll ask her to prepare for it later.â
âTang Yaoyao?âGu Xin asked him.
âDo you know her, Miss Gu?â
âHehe, I guess so.âGu Xin smiled and turned to look at Zhai an.
Zhai anâs expression remained unchanged.
âItâs even better that you know her. Yaoyao still needs your help. She actually has a lot of potential.â
âYes, yes, she has a lot of potential.âGu Xin nodded quickly.
Da Wei felt much better after hearing her praise. He even took the initiative to chat with them for a while before personally sending them off.
After leaving the hospital.
Gu Xin sat in a small car with Zhai an.
The car drove straight to the hotel.
When Gu Xin got out of the car, Zhai an stopped her. âIâll give you 20 minutes to pack up. Our plane still has 50 minutes.â
âWhat?â
âFollow me back to Wen City.â
âOkay.âGu Xin nodded.
Then, she got out of the car hurriedly. She packed her luggage hurriedly and ran out hurriedly.
The moment she opened the car door and sat in, her breathing was not smooth at all.
Zhai an took a glance at her and brought her to the airport.
As she was in a rush, she almost jogged to the airport.
He was really tired.
He took the plane for about two hours before he arrived at Wen City Airport.
Then, he rushed straight to a dinner party.
The dinner party was the manager of the next guest. Zhai an invited him to dinner to discuss the recording of the show the next day.
He waited for about half an hour in the private room of the restaurant. The guest and her manager arrived.
Zhai an told her about what had happened and raised the appearance fee by at least double before she reluctantly agreed.
After that, they ate and drank.
Anyway, there was never a lack of alcohol at dinner parties in northern Xia Kingdom.
Zhai an drank a little too much.
Gu Xin knew that he could not hold his liquor, so she started to help him block the alcohol.
However, these were all the spirits at the table. How could she not know her intentions? Moreover, Gu Xinâs alcohol tolerance was widely known in the circle. Hence, she insisted on drinking with Zhai an.
Zhai an did not refuse.
In any case, she should have drunk several times more than his usual alcohol tolerance.
In the end, after sending off the guests and manager, Zhai an went to the toilet to vomit.
She vomited so much that it was heart-wrenching.
Gu Xin was waiting for him outside the toilet.
He seemed to have vomited a little too much.
Moreover, he stayed inside for a long time before coming out.
When he came out, his face was already pale.
Gu Xin went forward to help him up.
âThereâs no need.âZhai an was a little cold.
Gu Xin felt a little awkward, so she left the restaurant with him.
The sky was already dark.
The lights in the city were very bright.
She followed Zhai an into the car.
Zhai an seemed to be very uncomfortable, and her brows were knitted tightly.
Along the way, Gu Xin did not know what else to say. She kept feeling that she had caused Zhai an a lot of trouble.
The car arrived at Zhai Anâs residence first.
Gu Xin knew that Zhai an would not let her send her off, so she did not get out of the car. She looked at him as he got out of the car and said, âIâm sorry, Zhai An.â
Zhai an pursed her lips and seemed to be silent for a few seconds. Then, he said, âGu Xin, your work performance will directly affect whether you can continue to work at GU Enterprise. You know how big of a mess you have created this time. Until now, there are still many uncertainties that need to be worked on. Moreover, you have wasted a lot of manpower and material resources.â
Gu Xin lowered her head.
This was the first time Zhai an criticized her so harshly.
Although she knew that she did not do well, Zhai an did not really blame her. She thought that Zhai an was very tolerant.
She was only tolerant because she was too lazy to say anything.
âThink about it.âZhai an opened the car door and left.
Gu Xin looked at his back.
She knew how it felt to be drunk better than anyone else. It was worse than death.
She controlled her emotions.
She felt that she would become very sad at this time.
She already felt that she was useless. If she really gave up on herself..
She admitted that it was easy for her to give up on herself.
She calmly said to the driver, âPlease send me to the airport.â
âThe airport?âThe driver was extremely surprised.
âYes, to the airport,âGu Xin repeated.
She was going to Mountain City.
One had to finish what one started!
..
Zhai an really had a splitting headache and the world was spinning around her.
He was lying in bed, feeling really uncomfortable.
This incident happened a little too suddenly. After receiving the notice, he put down what he was doing and rushed to mountain city. He did not rest for almost the entire night. After that, he was busy with his work, his habit could not sleep in other places, such as the car or the plane, so it was equivalent to not closing his eyes for 24 hours.
Tonight, he probably could not sleep well.
He had a full schedule for the next day.
He resisted the urge to vomit and looked at the phone ringing.
He glanced at the caller ID and picked up. âCousin.â
âZhai an, how is the acquisition of Zhaiâs and Guâs Going?â
âI am secretly transferring 8% of the shares to my mother. After the transfer, I will have 33% of the shares, which is equivalent to being the largest shareholder of Zhai Group.â. âAs for Gu Group, I have already discussed with the other shareholders of Gu Group, which is equivalent to 10% of the shares in my hands. The majority of the shares are now with my father, who has 35% of the shares. I am using some means to get my father to sell off a portion of the shares by tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall. As expected, I should be able to get my hands on some of the shares within this week.âZhai an tried her best to make herself clear.
âSeize the time and get the two companies. After that, you will acquire the other one.â
âWho else do you want to acquire?âZhai an asked.
There was a sudden silence on the other side.
Zhai an was such a smart person. Naturally, she could think of it immediately.
He pursed his lips. âCousin, do we really need to go to this extent?â
The other side was still very silent.
The silence was actually not because of hesitation. It was just that they did not want to say it out loud.
Zhai an did not say much either.
There were some things that he had to make a choice even though he was standing on the scale of his feelings.
