Chapter 58: Everyone’s Idol (28)

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Beep…” A screeching car horn could be heard. A driver put his head out of his window and shouted, “Are you trying to die? Even if you want to die, don’t bang into my car!”

Liu Manman suddenly came out of her daze and quickly ran from the road back to the pedestrian walkway.

Her mind was filled with the video from just now.

When she was filming”The Allure of the Phoenix Princess”, somebody had secretly filmed her and the assistant director together. The video even exposed a few intimate positions.

‘Who captured it?’

At that time, if she had known that she could get together with such a rich man, Xie Zhou, she would never have hooked up with that assistant director.

However, it was too late to explain herself. How could a man like Xie Zhou put up with a woman who was touched by another man?

‘Who..was the one who caused harm to me?’

“It was broadcasted to the public that Gu Chuzheng will be the female lead of Director Yi Fang’s new drama”Bridge the Gap”. This drama is predicted to be shown on television during next year’s summer. Director Yi Fang usually does not employ new actors, but Gu Chuzheng is all the rage nowadays, what could be the reason behind choosing this new actress? Let’s interview Director Yi now!”

Liu Manman looked at the interview on the screen and seemed to have understood something while a hint of hate burgeoned in her eyes.

‘It’s Gu Chuzheng!’

–

When Chuzheng started filming, as the filming was very different from that of a television show, the filming process and expectations were very high. She almost did not have time to interact with the outside world.

It was almost the new year. Chuzheng invested a large sum of money in the drama as a form of compensation for a short vacation.

Since Chuzheng was an investor, even if the director was a workaholic, he could not reject her kind gesture.

Besides, there were so many people in the production team. Who would not want to spend time with their family during the new year.

Hence, the production team went off for a short break before the end of the year.

The whole production team was very happy to have this tycoon prodigal, Chuzheng in their team. They hoped that every year they could meet a tycoon like her. This is because, in the eyes of the production team, time equals money. Hence, if they were unlucky enough to have their filming dates scheduled during the new year season, that basically meant that they could not go back home during the new year.

“Damn it, I couldn’t buy any tickets! Did you guys manage to get tickets?”

“I didn’t. I thought I could go home to spend time with my family, but it seems that my hopes are dashed…”

“It’s okay. Getting a break is not bad either.”

The staff members were crowding around to get train tickets, however, if they could still get tickets now, they would probably need to spend their entire year’s worth of luck.

“Has everyone finished packing?” The director suddenly came out of nowhere.

“We are almost done.”

“Everyone has been working really hard recently so I will treat everyone to a meal.” The director waved his hand. “Everyone can go back to the hotel to take your luggage first and after we eat, we will directly head to the airport.”

Staff members: “!!!”

“Director, why are we going to the airport?” asked a staff member.

The director gave a mysterious smile. “Chuzheng booked a whole airplane for us.”

Staff members: “!!!”

What a tycoon!

Indeed, the world of a tycoon could not be imagined.

When the others were still trying to get tickets and crying over it, they were already on a flight home.

#Richest female lead booked a whole airplane to send staff members home#

Some of the staff members posted it on Weibo and it immediately hit the headlines.

[Little miss Chuzheng’s sweetie: Our goddess is being a prodigal again.]

[President Gu’s Cutie Su: Ahhh, recently President Gu and Cutie Su are busy with filming and they didn’t even have a chance to appear on the same screen! I have already rewatched The Star’s Challenge over ten times! Please show some affection to each other!]

[Mu Yefei: The person above has gone crazy. Our goddess is so rich! Please be my sugar mommy.]

[Beautiful scenery: No way, President Gu belongs to Cutie Su.]

[A gaffer from a certain production team: Breaking news! Actually, the reason we could have a vacation was all thanks to Teacher Gu spending money. Otherwise, that workaholic director definitely wouldn’t let us go! @Yi Fang]

[A set decorator from a certain production team: Teacher Gu is the cutest person in the world.]

Everyone did not even need to guess which drama’s production team they were from.

Director Yi Fang had been tagged many times and he also replied to them. However, in the end, he made use of the popularity to promote his new movie.

[Everyone: …]

Indeed, a director was still a director. Everyone had to applaud his expert free advertising skills.

Other people hit the headlines because of their scandals, but Chuzheng hit the headlines because she was a living prodigal.

The netizens really wanted to find out which wealthy family’s daughter she was.

However, they realized that other than the news that was already exposed to the public, there was nothing else they could find that was related to her on the internet.

[You don’t have to worry, Little miss. As long as you work hard on spending money, I’ve got your back.]King promised Chuzheng.

Chuzheng was stunned. “…”

‘Who needs a bronze player like you to protect me?’

When Chuzheng returned to the city, it was already eleven in the evening on the thirtieth and it was almost the new year.

Chuzheng had just reached the villa and she saw somebody standing outside.

“You’re back?” Su Jiu was wearing a cap and a scarf. He only exposed his teary eyes and when he saw her, his eyes brightened.

“Why are you here?” She did not remember calling him over?

“To celebrate the new year with you.” Su Jiu pulled his scarf down and exposed his face. He gasped, “It’s so cold, can we talk inside?”

Chuzheng stared at him for a few seconds before opening the door to let him in.

Su Jiu habitually changed his shoes and turned on the heater. “Have you eaten?”

“No.”

“How about I make dinner for you?” Su Jiu took out his coat and pulled up the sleeves of his knitted sweater before walking towards the kitchen. “What do you want to eat?”

He opened the fridge and his expression froze. There was nothing in the fridge. Su Jiu opened the bottom compartment and found a few ingredients.

Su Jiu pan-fried the steak as he had limited ingredients and he really could not do much with those ingredients.

After the steak was ready, he served it on a plate and directly went to the living room. He placed it in front of Chuzheng. “President Gu, do you have wine?”

Chuzheng said in a faint voice, “It’s bad to drink.”

“Today is New Year’s eve, it’s okay to drink a little.” Su Jiu said in a lovely voice, “Just a little.”

Chuzheng spat out a few words coldly, “I don’t have alcohol.”

“…”

Thinking back on her empty fridge and kitchen, Su Jiu thought that it seemed to be normal that she did not have wine in her house. If he had known, he would have brought a bottle himself.

“Then… we will not drink anymore,” mumbled Su Jiu. He just sat on the mat and cut the steak for Chuzheng. He then passed it over to her.

“Is it delicious?”

“Hmm.”

Su Jiu flashed a brilliant smile and looked as if he was a kid who just got complimented. “There are not enough ingredients, otherwise, it would be more delicious. Next time, I will make it for you again, alright?”

Chuzheng did not answer and gave him a meaningful gaze.

Su Jiu tilted his head and looked at her with an innocent gaze while waiting for her answer.

Chuzheng lowered her head to continue eating her steak. Su Jiu pursed his lips as his eyes darkened. The hand used to hold his knife tightened its grip.

After a while, he lowered his eyelids to hide his emotions.

After they finished eating the steak, Su Jiu washed the plates in the kitchen. When he was finished with the dishes, he came out just in time for the new year countdown.

He snuggled close to Chuzheng and hugged Chuzheng’s arms. Chuzheng tried to pull her arm out of his grip, but Su Jiu only hugged it tighter.

Five…

Four…

Three…

Two…

One…

Happy New Year…

Su Jiu lips landed on Chuzheng’s cheeks and as quick as a dragonfly tapping on the waters he sat back.

He then said, “This is the first new year we have celebrated together. I hope every year’s new year, I could celebrate it with you.”
