"Mr. He is looking for a villa recently. Does he want to live with you?"

The next day, in the crew's dressing room, Luo Yuan sorted out the script to be filmed today and handed it to her. For a moment, she couldn't help but guess the purpose of He Sui Chen asking his secretary to go to so much trouble to find a house.

Gu Qingwu curled up in a chair, shook her head and said, "He has his own private villa and the He family's old house in Sicheng. He doesn't need to find a house to live with me. What's the point of keeping him outside? I have the face of a good girl's wife. I can't do something like following him without any status."

In this regard, she was unusually clear-headed and not clouded by emotions.

Luo Yuan was slightly relieved: "Men are always impatient... Don't tell me that Mr. He doesn't want to have sex with you?"

Gu Qingwu paused for two seconds. He Sui Chen was thinking about it. Before he held her in bed at night to sleep, he would go to the bathroom to take a long cold shower. When he woke up in a daze in the morning, he felt his body was pressed against her and very hot. If he moved a little, he would feel that he would touch a place on him that shouldn't be touched.

Thinking of this, she took a sip of the cooled water in the glass and said softly, "He Sui Chen promised... to give me time to think about it before the filming of "Legend of Pingle" is completed."

"My dear, are you so dedicated to your work that you have to give up all your emotions and love until the end of the filming in order to concentrate on filming?"

Gu Qingwu glanced at him and uttered two words from her red lips: "No."

Luo Yuan asked again: "What is that?"

Gu Qingwu lowered her head slightly and fixed her eyes on the script. Her profile was as smooth and transparent as white jade under the light of the dressing table. After a while, her expression revealed a bit of complexity, but her tone was indifferent and emotionless as she said, "There is a saying that once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the rope for ten years. Have you ever experienced the feeling of someone saying they want to eat the wonton noodles cooked by your grandmother, but the next day you go up the mountain with a bowl of hot wonton noodles, only to find that the place is empty?"

Luo Yuan didn't understand: "What do you mean by carrying wonton noodles up the mountain?"

Gu Qingwu didn't explain. She flipped through the script with her fair fingers and thought again, "Has the Xiang family's luxury contract been sent to you?"

Luo Yuan got excited when he mentioned this: "We are already negotiating the contract terms. Your supermodel bestie is quite capable and can get you high-end endorsements without blinking an eye."

"Jiang Dianying has not been in the international fashion industry for nothing over the years."

"I will go through the process as soon as possible... to avoid any more complications later."

-

Luo Yuan was very efficient. He drafted a contract with the director of the luxury brand in half a month and had it signed by the company's president Shen Yu. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable, and Fang Kui soon got wind of the situation.

Xiang's top luxury endorsement was given to Gu Qingwu without a word, which made Jiang Xuening almost grit her teeth when she received the news: "How is it possible... Shen Yu just gave Gu Qingwu the resources for the big production of "Pingle Legend", and now he signs her with a high-end luxury endorsement?"

"It wasn't Shen Yu who negotiated the endorsement."

Fang Kui said with a cold face, "It was Jiang Dianying, who you have been unable to get an appointment with, who personally introduced Gu Qingwu."

For Jiang Xuening, it would be better if the company president favored Gu Qingwu!

She had been trying her best to please Jiang Dianying during this period, but it was useless to coax Shen Xingdu to help. She was worrying about how to play the emotional card, but who knew that Gu Qingwu would succeed in secretly intercepting her

Jiang Xue Ning got angry at the thought, venting her anger, smashing the vase on the table into the corner, breathing rapidly and saying: "Gu Qingwu is my nemesis in the circle. How can a newcomer like her easily get a high-end luxury brand!"

Fang Kui locked the door of the office and pulled down the blinds to prevent anyone from peeping in from outside: "Xue Ning, calm down."

"That bitch Jiang Dianying must have done it on purpose. She knew that I was using connections everywhere to get the high-end endorsement of Xiang Family, but she secretly helped Gu Qingwu introduce it!"

Fang Kui walked back and poured her a glass of water. "I had finally made an appointment with Zhou Fanyue, the head of Xiangjia China, to meet next week, but it looks like that's out of the question."

Jiang Xuening sat on the sofa without taking the water. A cold look suddenly appeared on the corners of her lips: "It's still unclear who will win."

At around 10 o'clock that evening, a topic titled "Jiang Xuening dreamed of a mistress" appeared on the Weibo hot search list, immediately sparking heated discussions among fans.

It all started when she used her official account to answer a question on a forum: "How many people have had precognitive dreams like me?"

Jiang Xuening used a thousand-word essay to talk about her depressed life some time ago. Since the announcement of her relationship, she had planted the seeds of doubt in her heart because she frequently dreamed of a certain actress hooking up with her beloved boyfriend. Unexpectedly, she was caught with clues.

Fortunately, someone had been careful beforehand, and the actress failed even after trying her best.

Under this Weibo post, fans went wild and rushed to dig up all the actresses who had worked with Shen Xingdu, trying to see which shameless mistress was hooking up with a man but was caught red-handed by the real man.

Looking around, there are no less than five actresses who have worked closely with Shen Xingdu recently.

Gu Qingwu was unfortunately on the list, and she is still filming "Legend of Pingle" in the crew. Over time, her name was added to the hot search terms.

What's more subtle is that by the next morning, the topic had already dropped to around fifty.

Jiang Xuening's studio accidentally liked a keyword that said Gu Qingwu was a certain actress. In less than half an hour, it was ranked in the top five hot searches, and the comments were incredibly popular.

When Luo Yuan saw this trending search, it was too late. The public relations department of Hengcheng Entertainment remained silent and did not come out to clarify in time.

This made him knock on Gu Qingwu's door early in the morning. After telling her the situation while she was still sleepy, he called the company's top management. As a result, his face became uglier and uglier. After hanging up the phone, he angrily returned to the living room: "Do you know what Shen Yu said in the meeting?"

"say what?"

"Shen Yu asked the PR department to keep silent about the smear campaign against you and Shen Xingdu. He said that if Jiang Xuening hadn't lied to her fans, he would have taken the opportunity to make public your childhood engagement with Shen Xingdu..."

"… "

"When did you and our company's young master get engaged?"

"How would I know?" Gu Qingwu put a thin blanket on her shoulders and walked slowly to the window and pushed it open. It was already winter outside. The cold wind blew and she no longer felt the sleepiness she had just woken up. Then she turned to Luo Yuan and said, "Shen Yu is just wishful thinking."

Luo Yuan's face turned pale. This matter could have been easily handled in the past, but the problem now was that Shen Xingdu already had a real girlfriend.

Even if Shen Yu personally came out to announce the child marriage, Gu Qingwu would still be labeled as the third party.

Faced with such a serious public relations crisis that damaged his image, Gu Qingwu remained calm and asked him for his cell phone.

"What do you want to do?"

"Shen Yu didn't let the PR department clarify for me, but I'm not helpless."

Gu Qingwu took the phone and logged into the official Weibo account. He directly forwarded Jiang Xuening's Weibo post about dreaming about a mistress, and added the caption: "Oh, who did you say was the mistress?"

Luo Yuan: “…”

Gu Qingwu didn't want to bring the topic to herself, so she said lazily, "Jiang Xuening took the initiative to stir up trouble, so let her play a one-man show to end it."

This topic storm was originally directed and acted by Jiang Xuening herself, saying that she had a precognitive dream, which caused fans to dig up people everywhere.

She has nothing to fear if she is not criticized. Why should she take it seriously and get involved, and take all the blame on herself

Luo Yuan seemed to have walked through the gates of hell, and suddenly realized: "Right! If Jiang Xuening has the guts, tell me the name of the actress you dreamed about, or you'll be in big trouble."

Gu Qingwu curled up the corners of his lips slightly, sorted out the scattered scripts that were placed on the coffee table last night, and said in a very light voice: "These are all trivial matters. No one can stop me from finishing the filming of "Legend of Pingle"."

"Yesterday I heard from the director that your scenes in 'Ping Le Biography' will be finished before the end of the year."

"Um."

Luo Yuan asked again: "Once the filming is finished, you and He Suichen can't drag it out any longer, right? Does this man want status, or you?"

"He's greedy and wants it all."

Gu Qingwu put the finished script on the bookshelf, thinking that this day was approaching day by day. He Sui Chen was very calm and did not come to the crew to disturb her filming.

But the more this happened, the more she knew in her heart that she would not be able to escape once the deadline came.

Luo Yuan's voice came from behind: "This fame and fortune world has everything, but sincerity is the hardest to find... Regardless of whether He Sui Chen is serious about you, I have only one request, you must not learn from the new actress Jiang Nai in the domestic entertainment industry, who made an official announcement at a young age. Her fans are all career fans, which is harmless."

At this point, he reminded her earnestly, "You became famous because of your face, and you have established yourself as a goddess with zero scandals since your debut... Men are such a toxic species, you can't get involved with them."

Gu Qingwu turned around, her eyes revealing a subtle and complex look, and she said, "If He Suichen wants to marry me..."

"You have to stop him even if you can't. Don't let him put you in this evil shackle of marriage!" Luo Yuan interrupted her seriously, and did not forget to remind her: "Be careful that he makes you pregnant unexpectedly!"

Gu Qingwu: “…”

It's too early to talk about pregnancy before the horoscope is even decided.

Luo Yuan took out her clothes and urged:

"Working hard on your career is the serious thing... Just focus on filming, girl."

Don't let him dream of marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a noble lady in broad daylight.

Of course she needs a career. Gu Qingwu likes this profession as an actor very much. She has been filming in a closed environment for several months in a difficult crew, but she has not felt bored. She is the only one who enjoys it on the entire set.

In a blink of an eye, it’s almost the end of the year, and there’s still less than half a month left before the final shooting.

In the cold winter weather, Gu Qingwu had a lot of business activities scheduled. Even if she turned some down, she still had to attend several important events, and among them was the invitation to the cocktail party sent by Zhou Fanyue.

During the weekends, the crew would not film her scenes starting in the afternoon.

In the hotel, Gu Qingwu first changed into a white evening gown with intricate embroidery, and wore a warm down jacket on the outside, and then took it off when she arrived at the place.

Sitting in the nanny car, Luo Yuan said like chanting a mantra: "Recently, Jiang Xuening and Zhou Fanyue have been very close. You must remember that you are the spokesperson for the Xiang family. Don't let others steal the limelight."

Gu Qingwu acted as if he didn't hear anything. He took the phone handed to him by his assistant and checked Weibo. He clicked on it randomly and saw all the notices about various female celebrities attending events and stunning each other. He had no interest in leaving the topic and clicked on the Snake game.

Seeing that she was still playing, Luo Yuan frowned and said, "Don't you have enough of Snake?"

Gu Qingwu said absentmindedly: "Well, who told me to be loyal in love?"

Luo Yuan saw that she was playing on her phone until the car stopped and arrived at the cocktail party.

Gu Qingwu was originally sitting lazily in her special seat. She threw the phone to her assistant with her fair fingers. The moment her high heels touched the ground, she suddenly regained her charming look. With her signature smile on her curved lips, she walked through the red carpet at the hotel entrance.

At this moment, many celebrities in the circle have gathered in the banquet hall, mostly from the fashion industry, and they are all laughing and chatting.

Gu Qingwu's high heels stepped on the soft carpet, and the subtle sound of her footsteps was completely absorbed. The bustling surroundings involuntarily became quiet, and the eyes of everyone present followed her slim figure.

There are not many female celebrities in the circle who would take the initiative to stand with Gu Qingwu to avoid being compared to others.

Not far away, Jiang Xuening also took great pains to get the invitation. She was chatting happily with Zhou Fanyue when she saw Gu Qingwu appear and overwhelm the whole audience. Her smile froze for two seconds, and she almost whispered, "Mr. Zhou has good taste. No man can resist Gu Qingwu's charm."

When Zhou Fanyue first met Gu Qingwu, he admired her beautiful face very much. There are very few female stars in the circle who have never had plastic surgery.

“Women find it hard to resist.”

Jiang Xuening had a half-smile on her heavily made-up face, and she said slowly: "She is the most favored in my company. Chu Sanyan tailored a movie role for her, and Shen Yu wanted to throw all the resources at her... Let me tell you about what happened this year."

Zhou Fanyue heard Gu Qingwu's other version from her and became interested: "What's the matter?"

"When Gu Qingwu had a backer, she never attended drinking parties. Later, when her resources were limited, she went to a social gathering once. That night, she was noticed by a certain big boss named He. The big boss was very domineering and would not allow others to toast her."

Jiang Xuening said this in a pretentious tone, which was very suggestive.

A woman like Gu Qingwu, who relies on her body to get ahead, is too different from the image of a high-end luxury brand.

Next second.

The smile in Zhou Fanyue's eyes turned cold, and he asked bluntly: "She and He Suichen?"

Jiang Xue Ning took a sip of red wine and said in a softer tone: "Boss Zhou also knows this big boss?"

Zhou Fanyue didn't respond to her. Under the bright light of the crystal chandelier above her head, her facial expression instantly lost all smiles.

-

The entire cocktail party was coming to an end, and Zhou Fanyue did not ask the brand’s people to pay attention to Gu Qingwu.

Everyone in the banquet hall is an old fox in the circle, with sharp eyes. This is not the treatment that a spokesperson for a high-end luxury brand who is about to be officially announced should receive.

Gu Qingwu found a quiet place to sit down. She remained calm even though no one approached her. As for Jiang Xuening, who was floating in the crowd like a butterfly, she didn't even give her a glance.

When the show was about to end, Gu Qingwu stood up as if she had completed her mission for the night, and walked towards Zhou Fanyue, who was the center of the crowd and was the center of attention, with her skirt trailing the ground.

Past tense.

Zhou Fanyue had already separated from the crowd and was walking closely arm in arm with a tall, beautiful black-haired woman, and they ran into her face to face.

"Mr. Zhou."

Gu Qingwu spoke slowly, which could be considered as a greeting.

Zhou Fanyue looked unhappy, as if she had just remembered this person after a long while. She introduced him to her best friend beside her: "Siqing, this is the brand spokesperson I signed a while ago, Gu Qingwu."

The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, and Yu Siqing looked over with a certain scrutiny.

Gu Qingwu did not dress up tonight, but she wore an ordinary embroidered evening gown that looked bright and gorgeous. The fabric was fit and smooth, outlining the curves along the waistline, and every inch seemed to have been carefully measured.

Her friendly and gentle eyes curved, and she nodded politely to Gu Qingwu: "So it's you."

“So it’s you.”

Gu Qingwu didn't know the deeper meaning of her words, nor did she recognize this person in her memory.

She had no intention of staying to chat up the guy. She came over to say hello in order to go back and give an explanation to her agent. When she was about to leave, she heard Yu Siqing's voice very softly say, "Which hotel are you staying at tonight? I'll ask the driver to take you there."

It's a bit confusing to be so attentive without any reason.

Gu Qingwu had a lot of free time tonight and didn't want to waste even a minute in the hotel. She politely declined on the surface: "I don't stay in the hotel."

Yu Siqing glanced at her, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Miss Gu, the person you want to see tonight may not be able to meet you as you wish, so you should stay in the hotel and have a good rest."
