"He Cheng, why aren't you saying anything?" Lin Jinya's urging voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter?" Gu Hecheng's cold and distant voice came from the other end of the phone. "I can't go to dinner with you. I've been elsewhere recently."
"Oh, I see." Lin Jinya seemed to be deliberately probing. "Have you been busy on a business trip recently? I haven't seen you in a long time."
Although Lin Jinya did not know where Gu Hecheng had been recently, because he had planted a spy in the Gu Corporation, he naturally knew that he was not in the company almost every day.
"That's not something you should be concerned about." Gu Hecheng had a lot of things to sort out, so when he heard Lin Jinya's slightly questioning tone, he felt a little displeased.
"Oh, yes." Lin Jinya keenly sensed the change in Gu Hecheng's tone, so he quickly changed the topic. "I know that what I should be most concerned about is my own acting career."
"But that's precisely why I wanted to call you." Lin Jinya seemed to be deliberately asking for help. "I heard that a director recently won the Best Director Award, and he used to work with the Gu Corporation. Now I heard that his movie is in the casting stage, and it's being shot in our city, so I want to fight for it."
Gu Hecheng's expression was calm. He turned slightly and leaned against the wall. "Then you should fight for it. Follow the normal procedure and audition. "
"Hecheng, do you really not know?" Lin Jinya pretended to be a little angry and asked. "This director likes to promote newcomers, and there are so many newcomers. He may not choose me."
Lin Jinya stamped his feet anxiously and said, "According to my information, I know that he used to shoot commercials for the Gu Corporation. You must know him, so can you find a chance to take me to meet him?"
"Don't worry, I won't ask you to say anything for me. As long as I can meet him, I promise that I will try my best to prove myself. At least this way, he will have a better impression of me. If I really have the ability, he will take the initiative to consider me, right?"
However, Gu Hecheng obviously did not want to get involved in this mess, so he thought about it and warned Lin Jinya, "I heard that his reputation is not very good. Try not to work with him as much as possible."
"Hecheng, what are you thinking? Don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt myself. Don't worry, if I can get the role fair and square, I will cherish it, but if this director asks for something else, I will definitely refuse..
. "Although Lin Jinya said this, there was a greedy smile in her eyes when she finished the sentence.
Since Gu Hecheng had said so, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the information she had gathered.
He was talented, famous, and easy to poach. Of course, such a person was her primary target.
Lin Jinya thought of her life. Since she was a child, she had been suppressed by Shen Qianqian. The man she loved loved her deeply. Now, the man she wanted to keep abandoned her for her. Therefore, whenever she thought that Shen Qianqian was still suppressing her in the entertainment industry, she had already decided to sell her soul to the devil.
Whether it was fame, power, or men, she had to crush Shen Qianqian. One day, she would make Shen Qianqian beg her on her knees and reveal her true colors. Only then could she vent her anger.
Hearing Lin Jinya's words, Gu Hecheng could only sigh slightly and say nothing.
Seeing that Gu Hecheng neither objected nor offered to help her, Lin Jinya was a little anxious and asked, "Hecheng, why don't you say something?"
"Hecheng, you see, I haven't completely recovered from the pain of breaking up with you. I want to call you every day, but I'm afraid that it will disturb you and affect you. So, I really hope that I can focus on my career, so that I can divert my attention and not pester you all the time."
"Hmm? What do you think, Hecheng? " In order to get this opportunity, Lin Jinya even made up her mind. "Hecheng, don't worry. After you help me this time, I will gain a foothold in the entertainment industry. In the future, I will make my own connections. I promise that I won't ask for your help again because of something like this, okay?"
Gu Hecheng, who had been silent all this time, finally agreed to her request when he heard that Lin Jinya had put down her pride and repeatedly asked for his help.
"Okay, I promise you this time, but as you said, this is the last time." Gu Hecheng finally said this sentence. "As for the time of the meeting, I will let Secretary Yu check the recent itinerary and let Secretary Yu communicate with the other party. When the time and place are confirmed, I will let you know."
"Okay, Hecheng, I will wait for your good news." With Gu Hecheng's promise, Lin Jinya was already very happy, but she still lowered her voice and pretended to be grateful. "Thank you. This time, I will definitely seize this opportunity and work hard."
"Work hard and let Shen Qianqian know what it's like to be suffering now …"
After Gu Hecheng hung up the phone, Lin Jinya held the phone tightly and said these cursing words through gritted teeth.
For the rest of the day, Gu Hecheng had nothing to do. Because he had stayed up late to catch the plane and was busy all morning, he took a nap in the afternoon and didn't get up until around six o 'clock.
The sky had turned blue and gray. Gu Hecheng got up slowly, rubbed his eyes, looked at the time, got up, washed up, put on a set of clothes and went to the set.
On the set, Shen Qianqian was still wearing makeup on her face and was about to go to the lounge with her assistant to remove it.
On the other hand, the staff on the set were even more nervous than during the day.
The director, the head of the prop team, and several other people were yelling at the top of their lungs.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Didn't you see the weather forecast today? Hurry up and put away the props and protect them."
"I'm talking to you. If the props get wet, will you pay for it? Didn't you see how hard we worked to finish today's shoot? If you are slow, I will teach you a lesson."
"This is just a small prop. It's okay. Go and put away that one first. It's very expensive."
Shen Qianqian heard each other's voices as if they were singing a folk song. Each wave was louder than the last.
After Shen Qianqian and her assistant went to the lounge, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did you bring an umbrella?"
The junior assistant was stunned at first. Then, she casually said that she had brought an umbrella. However, when she carefully rummaged through her bag, she realized that she didn't bring one.
"Oh …" the junior assistant cried out pitifully. Shen Qianqian knew that something bad had happened. She had no choice but to cry, but no tears came out. "If other people's assistants don't care about their artists, they should be fired."
The junior assistant heard this and snorted softly. "Sister Qianqian, you only know how to scare me."
"But I was really careless this time. I'm sorry, Sister Qianqian," the junior assistant said as she stuffed her bag into her bag. Then, she made up her mind and said, "Wait here. I'll go to a nearby store and buy it for you."
"Forget it," Shen Qianqian wanted to stop the junior assistant. She thought that if it rained, she could take a shower and then call a taxi.
"No, it's autumn now. What if you catch a cold?" the junior assistant insisted. Then, she trotted all the way out.
After the assistant left, Shen Qianqian had just finished removing her makeup when she saw someone push open the door and come in. It turned out to be the person in charge of the crew. "We're done early today. The director is treating everyone to dinner tonight. You must go."
"Hey …" Shen Qianqian wanted to say something, but the person was already gone like a whirlwind.
"He's too anxious." Although Shen Qianqian understood that he still had a lot of people to inform, he didn't even give her time to say a word. That was a bit too anxious.
Shen Qianqian looked down at her phone. When she looked up again, she realized that it was already raining outside.
"I'm done packing. I'll leave first." Shen Qianqian's makeup artist packed her bag and smiled at her. "I won't be going to the dinner party. I have to go home tonight to take care of the children."
"Oh, okay," Shen Qianqian said goodbye to her and waited for her to leave. She was the only one left in the room.
In the WeChat group on her phone, she had already received the time and location of the dinner party. Many people had already passed by outside, and Shen Qianqian, who had left the door open, could occasionally hear a few words of discussion about what to eat tonight.
Shen Qianqian called the assistant, but no one answered. It seemed that either the assistant didn't hear it or was on the way.
Just as Shen Qianqian was holding her phone and thinking about whether to go to the dinner party, the door, which was originally only left ajar, was pushed open from the outside.
"Why didn't you answer the phone …" Shen Qianqian thought that the assistant had come back, so she subconsciously blurted it out. Unexpectedly, when she saw the person's face, she closed her mouth quietly.
Shen Qianqian sat up straight. Her stiff smile disappeared. "What are you doing here?"
With that said, Shen Qianqian got up from the chair and opened the door. She was about to walk past Gu Hecheng.
"Where are you going? You don't have an umbrella, right?" Gu Hecheng's smile was still very gentle.
