1381 Xue Yang Got An Oscar Nomination
She really wanted to explain, but she needed to know how to explain it.Needless to say, her words after that were more and more intimate.
Lin Che thought that she had to be more cautious in the future. How did little kids remember all these?
Was she that intimate with Gu Jingze usually?
The people around were extremely envious. Who would have thought that they were on such good terms? Their children were so big already, but they were still so warm and passionate.
Lin Che went back and lamented to Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze was still in Dubai. He had been there for a long time as he was still not done with work there.
They chatted over a video call that night.
Hearing Lin Che lament about her own children, Gu Jingze chuckled to himself.
“I’m coming back on the day after,” he suddenly said.
Lin Che looked up in surprise. “Really? You’re coming back?”
“Yeah, I’m almost done.”
Lin Che was elated and planned to pick him up at the airport.
Gu Jingze waited for Lin Che to fall asleep before he ended the call.

Airport security was tighter because of Gu Jingze’s arrival.
Lin Che arrived and saw Gu Jingze emerge.
He was accompanied by Qin Hao and several other employees.
Upon seeing Lin Che, the rest instinctively turned away.
Gu Jingze smiled as he walked towards her. Lin Che ran to him.
She tugged Gu Jingze and said, “It took so long this time.”
Gu Jingze said, “Hopefully, that won’t be the case anymore. Come on, there must be plenty of reporters outside.”
“Hm, probably not. I didn’t see any when I got here.”
“There will be once we get out.”
“Huh?”
“They probably already know about my return and were rushing over here.”
Lin Che was annoyed. Now that their relationship was public, they had a lot more attention outside.
Sure enough, as they stepped out, they saw many people outside.
Reporters snapped pictures from afar but couldn’t come closer because Gu Jingze had too many security guards.
Lin Che held hands with Gu Jingze as they left quickly, but they couldn’t seem to shake off all these people.
Seeing the pair hold hands, the reporters quickly aimed their cameras at the couple. Someone bravely yelled, “Mr. Gu, Miss Lin, look over here.”
They did not dare to address him by his full name, but they still wanted to capture the couple in photos.
In the past, Gu Jingze’s guards could have actually chased these people away. That was why not one photo ever leaked out throughout all those years. But now that everything was made public, they did not care so much anymore and just let the people take pictures.
Lin Che pretended not to hear as she tugged Gu Jingze and left at top speed.
The reporters were disappointed, but at least they managed to capture the two together and they were satisfied. They crafted a huge report, saying that Gu Jingze lived up to his name. His security was too strict. They took pictures of the nearest security guards, showing more than thirty of them. They were strict and assertive. The reporters had no way of getting close.
Lin Che read the report and was helpless.
Lin Che returned home and received a call from Yu Minmin. She had yet to settle down with Gu Jingze, while Yu Minmin spoke happily, “Xue Yang has been nominated Oscar’s Best Supporting Actor for his role in the new movie.”
Lin Che was stunned at first, then she replied happily, “Really?”
“Of course. We received the papers.”
“But isn’t the movie not released yet?”
“The movie was submitted the moment the editing was completed. Xue Yang had a change of luck because of the scar this time. It has now become his advantage.”
“That’s great! When do the selections begin?”
“Next week.”
Lin Che was happy that Xue Yang was progressing. He seemed to be getting closer to his goal.
Yu Minmin said, “The domestic trade union will be organizing a banquet for him in a few days. They have invited many famous figures. You have to go too.”
Lin Che asked exasperatedly, “What does this have to do with the domestic trade union?”
“Apart from having some nominations for Best Foreign Film, the last nomination for Best Supporting Actor has not happened for the last thirty years in C Nation, let alone winning the award. Thus, now that our Xue Yang is receiving a lot of attention and the American drama is concluding soon, they want to hold a banquet to celebrate his return.”
Alright. These people simply loved to have these formal events.
Lin Che agreed to it and told Gu Jingze after the call ended.
Gu Jingze replied, “It is a cause for celebration. When is the banquet?”
“In a few days.” Lin Che raised a brow. “Why? Do you want to go?”
“Mhm?” Gu Jingze raised his brow too.
Of course, Lin Che was just saying it casually. He would never go to such a boring place.
“Alright, I’m just joking. Go take a rest.”
“Aren’t you coming with me?” Gu Jingze grabbed her hand and ushered her in.
Lin Che blushed and quickly checked to see if Gu Shiyuan was loitering around and watching them. Seeing that Gu Shiyuan seemed to have gone out with the attendants, Lin Che then hesitantly entered the room with Gu Jingze…
—
Many people attended the welcome banquet because they were invited by the trade union. Nobody dared to offend the trade union. Although it wouldn’t be a big deal, it would still be rather troublesome.
The domestic trade union hoped that everyone could come to show their support for this C National movie and crew. But in reality, other artists weren’t truly happy for Xue Yang. Ultimately, him getting the award or not had nothing to do with them at all.
Especially for those who were competing with Lin Che and her studio. Seeing how Lin Che’s artists worked so hard, they were originally sour. Yet, they still had to put on a facade and turn up.
But if they really did not turn up, it would make them appear petty.
Thus, many people seemed to behave as if they had no interest in the Oscars.
The people from Glorious Star also had to come. They were absolutely coerced by the trade union into coming, as the trade union called them and asked, “I heard that your company is on bad terms with Lin Che’s studio.”
Liang Shan quickly replied, “Not at all, not at all. We are on very good terms.”
“Really? We are all in the same industry and should help each other. Otherwise, word could get out and make us look shady and bad. This is a good chance for all of you to gather.”
Liang Shan’s face was already black.
They were the ones who stirred up Gu Jingze and Lin Che’s relationship. Who knew that they would be shooting themselves in the foot? Now, they tried their best to hide and not show their faces. They did not expect the trade union to call them out like this. If they did not go, it would seem as if something shady was going on internally. How could they refuse the invitation?
There was no choice. They had to bring a few artists along.
When they arrived, they saw many people who also were not happy.
“Who would have thought? That lad, Xue Yang, had a lot of black marks in the past and he could still get into the Oscars. I heard that his face was disfigured.”
“It’s probably because of that face that he had to go to Hollywood. He’d have no way to fool anyone in C Nation.”
