624 Well Deserved

“I want you to be pampered and spoiled, though,” Lu Gan said righteously. He could not bear to see his wife suffer.

Song Ci laughed. “Then pampered me when I get home. I’m working now. I don’t want people to think I’m very delicate.”

Lu Gan knew how seriously she took this job, so he could only nod reluctantly. “Alright, then. If you need anything, call me whenever. Don’t keep it to yourself.”

“Alright,” Song Ci said before looking at the time. It was already noon. Time would be tight if Lu Gan wanted to return to the city. He could not afford to waste any more time.

“Come on. I’ll treat you to a meal. Let’s see what’s good here.” She thought that Lu Qian could take a nap after eating.

Just as the two walked out, they ran into Qian Wu and Shi Mingyu, who had just gotten out of the elevator. Qian Wu greeted the two and looked at Lu Gan, “What are you doing here?”

Lu Gan smiled. “I’m here to send Song Ci off and thought I would take a look at the filming environment too.”

Qian Wu nodded slightly and was too embarrassed to ask directly, ‘Are you satisfied with what you’ve seen so far? There was no need to think about it. The precious CEO Lu would definitely not be satisfied.’

“Have you eaten? We’re just about to eat. We can go together,” Song Ci invited them.

“You guys go ahead. I just finished eating,” Shi Mingyu said.

“Okay.” Song Ci nodded.

It was only after Song Ci and Lu Gan entered the elevator that Qian Wu leaned over to Shi Mingyu and said, “There’s something weird with their relationship. What boss has such a good relationship with their artist? A single man and woman…”

Shi Mingyu rolled his eyes at him. “I’ve told you. They’re like brother and sister.”

Qian Wu pursed his lips. “No way. What kind of brother does that?” The two did not have the same surname, and Lu Gan, a big boss, had personally come to see her off. “Lu Gan probably likes Song Ci. Even if they’re not together, they’re in an ambiguous relationship.”

Shi Mingyu, who had never thought deeply about the relationship between the two, replied, “No! If Song Ci says they’re like siblings, then they must be! There’s something wrong with the way you think. Just because a man and a woman are close does not mean they’re in a relationship. I despise people like you! Why can’t we just have a pure friendship?”

“If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.” Qian Wu snorted.

Lu Gan and Song Ci were unaware of Qian Wu and Shi Mingyu’s speculations. The two had a meal and short rest together before Lu Gan had to rush back. Song Ci, on the other hand, returned to the hotel and started reading her script.

Chu Yi arrived late and called Song Ci the moment he arrived. “Have you had dinner? If you haven’t, let’s eat together.”

“Sure.” Song Ci agreed. They had not seen each other for more than half a year and had only been in contact through the phone. When they met later, they would have time to chat.

Chu Yi told Song Ci he would be focusing on the film industry in the future. Not counting ‘Rebirth’, he had already acted in a few movies and the crew he had worked with was not bad. One of the directors said he admired Chu Yi and even said he would look for him again the next time. He felt that he preferred movies to television series.

Song Ci naturally nodded. As a best actor award winner, he was more suited for movies.

“It’s different for you.” Chu Yi smiled. “You’re a television sensation heading toward stardom once the movie is released.”

Song Ci smiled. “It’s just luck.” She really felt that she was lucky to have “Ten Years in a Hurry” air in advance and for her popularity to soar at the same time. Otherwise, she might not have been able to be part of Director Chen’s drama. In subsequence, she never would have known Shi Mingyu nor accepted his script and work with Qian Wu. Looking at it now, it was really all interconnected. Not a single wrong step could be taken.

“That’s the result of your own hard work,” Chu Yi said. He had watched Song Ci act before and knew how serious she was when it came to acting. He also knew what her personality was like. Song Ci’s current popularity was well-deserved.

Song Ci was embarrassed by Chu Yi’s words and changed the topic. They talked about ‘Rebirth’, discussing how sad the script actually was.

Qian Wu’s words were not dull. Rather, light-hearted and humorous before making the reader feel a lingering sadness at the end. There was a fool in Osmanthus Village. Whenever she was mentioned, everyone would laugh. Some with sharp mouths would even mock her. “Don’t you think that she’s stupid? A fool?”

The joke they were talking about was the female lead, Chen Guihua. The young woman who had just married into the village did not know who Chen Guihua was. She was curious and asked the people around her to tell her about it.

The story of Chen Guihua had begun.
