After ending the call, Gu Yuan checked the ti.
It was nearly two in the afternoon. Holding her phone, she returned to the van, preparing to tell Sheng Yi she had to return to the company for a eting.
Just as she reached a little way outside the van, unexpectedly, Gu Yuan overheard the conversation between her manager, Liu Ru, and Sheng Yi—
"It’s really weird, you know. Chi Yu going solo to establish his own studio was all the rage recently, so why has it suddenly gone silent? And Chi Yu hasn’t shown up lately either, his projects are on hold, and the crew over at ’Wind Rises in Ten Thousand Worlds’ is as anxious as ants on a hot pan."
It was Liu Ru’s voice, with a bit of gossip in her tone.
When Gu Yuan went out to take the call, Liu Ru hadn’t arrived yet. She must have co while Gu Yuan was outside.
Gu Yuan heard Sheng Yi lower her voice: "Don’t ntion Chi Yu’s na in front of President Gu."
"Got it, you reminded last ti," Liu Ru said, adding, "But President Gu’s not here now. When I ca in, I saw her still on the phone, she probably has a few more minutes."
Knowing Gu Yuan would be back in a few minutes, the gossip continued anyway. Sheng Yi asked Liu Ru, "Even though hearing is not as real as seeing, I rember Chi Yu being quite serious about acting."
"He is quite serious, everyone acknowledges it. But this ti, Chi Yu seems to have vanished into thin air, and the crew can’t wait, so they have to schedule other projects. Yi Shu is keeping things tight-lipped, but yesterday I ran into him and he looked really anxious, saying nothing. I have a feeling sothing major happened."
Hearing Liu Ru’s words, Sheng Yi clicked her tongue: "It must be sothing big happening with Chi Yu himself, but it doesn’t make sense... Chi Yu’s influence is so huge, if sothing happened, the industry would know imdiately."
"Chi Yu is not an ordinary person. I’ve always felt he carries a noble aura," Liu Ru expressed her thoughts.
Sheng Yi seed unimpressed.
Liu Ru took a sip of tea, raising her eyebrows, and asked, "What kind of tea is this? It’s quite good."
Sheng Yi said, "Linfu Mountain’s Jin Jun i."
Upon hearing that, Liu Ru quickly poured herself two more cups and drank them eagerly.
Sheng Yi laughed and teased Liu Ru: "Yuanyuan arranged a big box for . Take two with you later."
Liu Ru chuckled, "Should I thank you or President Gu then?"
Just then, they heard Gu Yuan’s voice from outside the van: "No need to thank , the tea is Sheng Yi’s, so thank her."
Hearing Gu Yuan’s voice, Liu Ru reacted quickly, ready to get out of the van imdiately. Gu Yuan waved her hand: "No need to get out, I need to go, just wanted to say goodbye to Sheng Yi."
Liu Ru nodded, saying nothing.
To soone like Gu Yuan, who holds such high status, even if she’s her artist’s best friend, Liu Ru dared not overstep, treating Gu Yuan very cautiously from start to finish.
Sheng Yi signaled Liu Ru to stay seated as she got off the car to see Yuanyuan off.
As they reached the outskirts of Heng City, Old Bai had already parked the car, waiting for Gu Yuan. Sheng Yi waved to Gu Yuan: "Don’t stay up too late tonight, try to sleep early. Once I finish the important scenes in the next few days, I’ll co and keep you company."
Gu Yuan responded, "Okay."
After getting in the car, Gu Yuan’s mood was noticeably uneasy, with a heavy heart. The conversation between Sheng Yi and Liu Ru kept replaying in her mind involuntarily.
—Chi Yu hasn’t shown up lately.
—Yi Shu is visibly off because of Chi Yu’s issue.
—No one knows where Chi Yu has gone.
