âHmm, Mr. Gu asked⦠Well, I told him as you instructed me. He believed me. Miss, I think you should let Mr. Gu know that you brought him home and took care of him all night. Why are you so sure that heâll get mad if he hears about it?â the housekeeper said.
Qin Zhiâai, on the other end of the line, listened to the housekeeper as she stared at the bright sunlight outside of the window. She thought for a while before she said, âHe was sad. It isnât necessary to make him mad if we arenât sure what his reaction will be.â
Even though Qin Zhiâai talked very calmly and didnât sound sad, the housekeeper still felt bad for her.
âMiss, you used to bug Mr. Gu for no reason,â the housekeeper said.
She hadnât used to think Miss was considerate. She had thought Miss hadnât liked Mr. Gu with her full heart. She had felt that Miss had only liked the glory and social status Mr. Gu could bring her and wanted to take advantage of him.
The housekeeper dozed as she held the phone before she smiled and changed the topic. âMiss, you probably donât know, but Mr. Gu really likes your cooking. He ate a lot more than usual today.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A smile crawled onto Qin Zhiâais face when she heard it. She chit-chatted with the housekeeper for a few minutes before she hung up the phone.
Qin Zhiâai had forgotten to charge her phone before she left the house, so she looked for her charger and plugged it into the outlet. The door was pushed open.
It was Zhou Jin, and she looked angry. âGreat, I was about to call you to ask you out. Itâs great youâre in the company today.â
In contrast to Zhou Jinâs temper, Qin Zhiâai looked extremely calm. She placed her cell phone on the table and responded, âWhatâs wrong?â
âI have been so furious for the past few days,â Zhou Ji threw her purse on the sofa and complained immediately. âDid you know weâre going to start to shoot a new show, set in ancient times? The one you were paid 100 million for.â
Qin Zhiâai nodded but didnât say anything back.
âThis TV show has two main actresses. One is you, and the other one is Lin Yi. When we negotiated the contract with them, they agreed that you would have more lines than her. Now, Lin Yi, that b*tch, has hundreds of millions in investment from somewhere. The new script cut a lot of your lines. Youâre more popular than her. This TV show depends on the main actor and you being popular. If your lines are cut, but this show gets popular after being broadcasted, you will have basically become her stepping stone.â Zhou Jin lifted her hand to brush her hair with her fingers in anger. She stared outside the window for a while before she made up her mind. âLetâs do this. You go see Mr. Gu.â
Qin Zhiâai frowned and asked, âGu Yusheng?â
âYes, Gu Yusheng.â Zhou Jin nodded hard, but then shook her head again. âNo, it wonât work. Gu Yusheng can handle it. The issue is that he probably wonât agree to do it if itâs you who asks for help. Xiaokou used to see Gu Yushengâs grandpa when she had any trouble. You need to go see Gu Yushengâs grandpa. Heâll help you. Once Gu Yushengâs grandpa agrees to help, Gu Yusheng will definitely help you.â
