Mr. Gu, Madam is on the hot search again.

Chapter 9 Long time no see
The entertainment industry is really a small society that follows the trend.

This sentence was understood even more clearly after Chi Yu had a fantastic experience in just one week, from gaining fans by relying on CP speculation to becoming the CEO's girlfriend.

Fang Zishu hurriedly hit the back of his head with his foot. The advertisers who originally wanted to terminate the contract called in person to apologize, and also sent a lot of products in the hope of continuing to sign contracts with Chi Yu.

The scripts of dramas have also changed from a few small-budget movies or online dramas to large-scale productions and commercial films.

Fang Zishu picked out a few scripts and gave them to Chi Yu, looking worried at the pile of variety show invitations on hand.

The script this time included a crime drama called "A Life in Dreams" that Chi Yu was very concerned about. The screenwriting team and director Shen Ke were both Chi Yu's favorite film teams.

Although the character is a second female lead who dies as soon as she appears, this character is a clue that runs through the entire movie, and it is also a type of role that Chi Yu has never played before.

After experiencing betrayal, bullying, and torture, this character still mustered up the courage to live, but was misunderstood and abandoned by the person he trusted most, and finally chose to jump into the cold lake on a rainy night.

Just from the script, Chi Yu could read the desperate and suffocating feeling.

Chi Yu was inexplicably able to sympathize with that feeling of being isolated and helpless but having to pretend to be calm.

All day long, Chi Yu sat among a pile of sanitary napkins and laundry detergent sent by the brand and polished the script.

Gu Yuan's call came suddenly, breaking the tranquility of the sunset, and pulled Chi Yu out of the script of love but not being able to.

"Hello, hello?"

The call came from an unknown number, and Chi Yu completely forgot about her agreement with Gu Yuan.

"Chi Yu, it's me."

Gu Yuan's voice was full of exhaustion from a day's work, but also faintly gentle.

Chi Yu didn't have time to analyze Gu Yuan's tone, so she reacted suddenly and glanced at the time. No more, no less, 06:30.

"Uh... um! Well... wait a moment, I'll tell you the address!"

Chi Yu rushed to the cloakroom while crawling, knocking over a pile of brand-name products that she had no time to clean up.

A second before the call ended, he added, "Don't be in a hurry, take your time!"

It seems to be concern for the other party, but in fact it is a buffer for oneself.

Seeing that it was safer for her elders to dress modestly and generously, Chi Yu took out a silk light blue dress and put on a beige thin windbreaker. She simply paired it with a pair of white Mary Jane shoes and a pearl handbag. nailed it.

There was no time to wash her hair again and tie it into a fairly dignified hairstyle. Chi Yu quickly started putting on makeup.

Gu Yuan didn't call again, but Chi Yu felt anxious.

Not only did he forget the agreement, but he also had to face Gu Yuan's family alone.

Chi Yu dropped her eyebrow pencil absentmindedly, picked up her handbag and rushed downstairs.

Gu Yuan changed into a casual blue striped shirt and white loose slacks, and leaned against the car.

The setting sun had almost disappeared during Chi Yu's nearly four and ten minutes of wandering, leaving only a faint red light shining on Gu Yuan.

"Sorry, did you wait so long?"

Chi Yu steadied her steps, walked up to Gu Yuan and apologized sheepishly.

Gu Yuan pulled away from his thick thoughts and smiled softly to comfort Chi Yu.

"Just arrived, just in time."

The car was speeding on the road, and the silence between the two people was thicker than the night outside the car window.

Chi Yu sat in the passenger seat, bored and took out a lemon candy from her bag and stuffed it into her mouth.

After all, it was Gu Yuan who took the initiative to break the atmosphere.

"Don't you like eating sour food?"

"It's okay. I resisted it when I was young, but as I grow up, I feel that sour things seem to have more layers."

Chi Yu answered casually, but after a moment she caught the key point of this sentence.

"How do you know I don't like sour food?"

Gu Yuan once said that they had met before. Chi Yu had been looking through the past memories in her mind these days, but she could not piece together the person Gu Yuan.

"Of course the boss knows everything about his employees."

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he casually said this.

It was an obvious joke, but Chi Yu didn't pick it up.Busyness is the best way for a person to forget his unhappiness. Chi Yu has not had any leisure time in these years, and now when she is caught up in her memories, she inevitably gets lost in her thoughts.

Gu Yuan noticed Chi Yu's absence, pursed his lips, and spoke softly like coaxing a child.

"Chi Yu, don't be nervous, just say hello and eat normally after you go."

"Don't say anything if you don't want to answer the question. Let me answer it. Your mission today is to eat, drink and be happy."

Chi Yu nodded and turned her hand to wrap the pearl hanging bag.

"How long have you been in the industry? One year?"

"Ah? Well...early a year ago." Chi Yu was a little confused by Gu Yuan's sudden question.

Gu Yuan seemed embarrassed and said, "Hey...it's been a year, it shouldn't be, they are all old actors."

Chi Yu was so excited by this "question" that she raised her head and wanted to refute, but when she saw the corners of Gu Yuan's mouth raised, she realized that this was just a little trick to make her relax, and she started laughing along with Gu Yuan.

The atmosphere in the car finally broke through the thick fog, and the surrounding air seemed much clearer.

"Actually, this is my first time playing someone else's girlfriend."

"I used to play goddesses, bunny spirits, etc..."

"By the way, if you perform well this time, will there be any bonus?"

"Forget it, no reward for no merit, let's just... mutually benefit!"

Chi Yu seemed to be talking, but she didn't forget the difference between boss and employees.

Gu Yuan tightened his grip on the steering wheel and glanced sideways at her, "Is this how mutual benefit works?"

"Hey... you just understand what I mean!"

The car passed through a rose garden and stopped steadily in front of a beautiful and elegant villa.

"arrive."

The decoration of the Gu family's old house was not as luxurious as Chi Yu imagined. The courtyard design was quite quaint in Chinese style, but the large rose garden they passed by was carefully maintained and must have taken a lot of thought.

Chi Yu cheered up and was about to go through today's process in her mind when Gu Yuan suddenly spoke.

"Chi Yu, don't be too nervous. Just treat it as an impromptu performance during the audition and get into the act."

The sunset has completely set, and the night wind picks up the rose petals on the ground, spinning for a while and then fluttering down.

Chi Yu looked at Gu Yuan. His expression could not be seen in the dark interior of the car, but she met those eyes that were as bright as the moon.

"Yeah!" Chi Yu's heart sank to her stomach, she straightened her skirt and got out of the car.

Gu Yuan closed the car door for Chi Yu, and Chi Yu stepped forward and naturally took his arm.

But I can't help but feel scared in my heart, maybe I am taking too much initiative...

Gu Yuan didn't react at all, he seemed to be more professional than her.

This is a pair of loving lovers. No one knows that this is the fourth time they have met.

After entering the door, Hu Mei warmly greeted Chi Yu and greeted her.

With smiles on their faces, Chi Yu and Gu Yuan were pulled towards the inner hall by Hu Mei.

Dignified and virtuous, sweet and cute, with fluent answers, she fulfilled this role, and the smile on Hu Mei's face became even greater.

Until I saw the man sitting on the sofa.

"Xiaoyu, this is Gu Yuan's brother, Gu Qi."

Chi Yu's smile froze on her face.

The memory gate opens, the past comes flooding back, and there is a sudden feeling of traveling through time.

For a long time, Chi Yu stared at the person opposite but didn't respond.

The person on the sofa stood up and stretched out his hand to Chi Yu, who was frozen in place.

"Long time no see, Chi Yu."

The person outside this memory, Gu Yuan, tensed his back slightly, hiding his displeasure.
