She really wanted to see Chi Yu.
Lu Tinglou knew she was busy, and he was busy too, but whenever he had so spare ti, he’d first think of spending it around her.
Without any other chance, he said: "You’re not going back to the Gu Mansion for lunch?"
"Not going back this noon."
"Then I’ll go have lunch with Suisui. I happen to have brought sothing, I’ll take it to you."
Lu Tinglou had a very dictatorial personality; most of the ti, he did things his own way and was usually accustod to just giving a notice. He was definitely going to do this.
Having been friends with him for so many years, Gu Yuan understood him well. After all, there were business interactions, so sotis she wouldn’t say things too harshly, nor would she forbid him from entering the Gu Mansion, allowing him to co and go freely.
But today, Gu Yuan still said: "Suisui’s dad has returned."
After she spoke, she distinctly felt Lu Tinglou’s breathing pause on the other end.
Then she heard him speak with a hint of amusent: "Then I really should et Suisui’s dad, ask him why he left you and Suisui for so many years, and what he was doing all this while."
Gu Yuan: "..."
At noon, Gu Yuan received a call from Uncle Xiang reporting in.
Uncle Xiang said Lu Tinglou went to the Gu Mansion and asked about Suisui’s biological father.
Uncle Xiang was very confused and didn’t know about this matter, so Gu Yuan explained: "The person from last night is Suisui’s biological father."
Uncle Xiang was shocked: "Mr. Chi?"
"Yes, his na is Chi Yu. Uncle Xiang, you should rember his na."
Uncle Xiang was still quite surprised but soon cald down and said: "I will rember."
Gu Yuan: "If Lu Tinglou asks, just tell him Suisui’s biological father’s na, don’t worry about anyone else."
After hanging up, Gu Yuan let out a sigh of relief.
Really, it should have been said sooner or later.
Yi Shu received a call from Xu Wei last night and was very anxious today.
The reason for the panic was naturally because President Gu specifically nad him for a eting.
It was so rare; with so many etings held throughout the year, opportunities to et with President Gu could be counted on ten fingers, and this wasn’t even for a eting - President Gu wanted to et him alone.
Yi Shu woke up early to prepare himself, heading to the company ahead of ti when summoned.
...
Last night, after Chi Yu ca back, he fell asleep imdiately.
He got caught in the rain, did a bunch of stupid things, and was lucky not to catch a cold.
Chi Yu initially planned to stay ho today, feeling a bit stuffy but nothing too serious, mainly because he left so readily last night that he felt embarrassed to go today.
The phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID first - Gu Yuan.
Without hesitation, he answered, putting the phone to his ear: "Hello."
Even using "hello," was it intentional, or did he really not have her number saved?!
Gu Yuan: "Glad you’re still willing to answer my call."
Chi Yu’s voice was a bit confrontational right from the start: "How could I not dare to answer?"
After speaking, he regretted it.
Why couldn’t he control his mouth today?
If he kept up with the tough talk, he might as well sew it shut.
Gu Yuan detected his awkwardness; the sugar-coated bullets over the phone were ineffective, so she got to the point: "Do you have so ti?"
Chi Yu: "I suppose I do."
"If you have ti, co to Yingcan Century."
"Why co?"
"I have sothing to discuss with you."
"You could just say it over the phone, couldn’t you?"
Chi Yu, you’re just asking for it.
Can’t you talk properly!
Chi Yu cursed himself internally.
Gu Yuan, listening to his contentious tone, wasn’t angry and kept her tone gentle: "So things need to be said in person. If you have ti, co over; if not, tomorrow or the day after is fine."
"I have ti," he said.
Fortunately, this ti he didn’t ss around.
If he had kept being stubborn, he’d have prepared to slap himself awake.
As soon as the call ended, Chi Yu went to pick out clothes.
What to wear today?
Chi Yu spent a few minutes coordinating his outfit. He used to always wear a white coat and didn’t have many flashy clothes on regular days, but since coming to this world, his clothing style changed dramatically.
...
Yingcan Century Entertainnt.
Gu Yuan thought Chi Yu would dawdle about coming since he was feeling stuffy inside, unlikely to co quickly. However, she overthought it as Chi Yu arrived swiftly, and she had already prepared a pass for Chi Yu downstairs in advance.
On the way up, Chi Yu encountered Yi Shu, who was also heading to Gu Yuan’s office.
The two t.
However, neither knew where the other was headed.
They got into the elevator together, and the elevator attendant greeted Yi Shu, to which Yi Shu nodded, saying: "President Gu’s office."
Elevator attendant: "Okay."
Chi Yu ntioned the floor number, the elevator attendant didn’t change the numbers; it was the sa floor, and Yi Shu glanced at him.
It was this glance that left Yi Shu visibly startled.
The man wore a dark grey sweatshirt without a hood, carrying no backpack or accessories, simple and straightforward, his attire neither deliberate nor eye-catching.
But his face was sothing else entirely.
Whose newly signed talent is this? His looks are off the charts.
One look and he was stunning.
A second look, stunning again.
A third glance, Yi Shu reminded himself that in the entertainnt industry, top-tier looks were common; he was used to it, no need to act like soone who’s never seen the world.
The reason for assuming he’s a new face was that despite his stunning appearance, he seed unfamiliar—among all the striking artists in the entertainnt industry, Yi Shu could na them all.
This person beside him had nothing but an extraordinary face but no recognizable fa.
The more important question was, does this new kid not recognize him?
He didn’t even greet him?!
Yi Shu was, after all, the face of Yingcan Century’s managent, a top-notch agent in the industry, and within the company, artists of all sizes would greet him or say hello.
These new kids really lacked manners.
Just as he was thinking this, the elevator reached the floor.
Chi Yu had his hands in his pockets, taking two steps out with his long legs. Yi Shu clicked his tongue in his heart and called out: "Whose new talent are you signed with?"
Hearing a voice, Chi Yu paused and turned: "Are you talking to ?"
Yi Shu walked out of the elevator, annoyed: "Is there anyone else here? Kid, you’ve got quite the attitude."
Chi Yu: "Did sothing salty get you?"
Yi Shu: "..."
After Chi Yu finished speaking, he left, walking away with an air of casual elegance.
Perhaps it was the nervous tension from the morning till now, and after this incident, Yi Shu’s temper flared even more. He generally didn’t stoop to the level of these new kids—it would lower his own status.
But now, he was truly angry.
After eting President Gu, he would definitely find out whose artist this kid was, regardless of whose, he’d teach him a lesson to understand what rules were.
However, as Yi Shu walked towards Gu Yuan’s office, he saw that the cocky kid from earlier was also standing outside the office, fixing his collar.
Just then, the office door opened.
It wasn’t opened from the outside; soone inside personally opened the door.
Yi Shu thought it must be an assistant opening the door, but when he looked up, he saw President Gu’s figure and confird that not only had President Gu personally co to the door, but she was also smiling at that person...
Yi Shu was totally stunned: "...Did I hit a hard rock...or sothing."
