tact. 。Cheng Ruoruo only looked for He Yue when she was out of money. The rest of the time, she didn't have that much free time. 。Cheng Ke Xin and Gu Chi also lived a rather boring life every day. Gu...Gu Ke'yu raised his head and looked earnestly into Lu Ji'yan's eyes, sincerely thanking him.

"Throughout my whole life, you're the first person who prepared a birthday gift for me so seriously. I really like it, thank you so much."

Lu Jiayan's face showed a gentle smile, the corners of his mouth curving upwards in a very pleasing arc. Coupled with his handsome face, it was rare to feel the coldness emanating from him.

"You don't have to be polite with me! But what did you come to find me for originally"

Lu Jiayan leaned against the bookcase, gently looking at Gu Ke'yu and softly asked.

Gu Ke Yu came to find Lu Ji Yan originally had something to ask, but later she found out that Lu Ji Yan had a fever and has been busy until now. If it wasn't for Lu Ji Yan reminding her, she would have almost forgotten why she came to find him today.

"Oh! I would have forgotten if you hadn't said anything."

Although Lu Jiayan had just given her a very touching gift, Gu Keyu still wanted to ask him, was the role of Jin Yuan behind-the-scenes operation by Lu Jiayan, so the film chose her.

Lu Jiayan, I ask you, was the role of Jin Yuan given to me because of your help

Lu Jiayan raised an eyebrow and replied seriously.

"It did involve my help, but which kind are you referring to"

Lu Jiayan's words left Gu Keyu dumbfounded. What kind of help was he asking about She pondered for a moment, just about to carefully inquire from Lu Jiayan, when he took the initiative to explain.

“I did mention you to the director, recommending you for an audition. But you landed this role because of your amazing performance. I just played a middleman, really. The real credit goes to you.”

Gu Ke Yu looked at Lu Ji Yan in a daze, always feeling a little confused.

"Really"

"To be honest, you don't need to overthink this. The final decision on who plays the role isn't up to me. It's actually the director who saw your talent and decided to cast you as the leading lady."

"How is this possible"

Gu Ke Yu almost instinctively denied it.

Although she thought she did her best during the audition that day and performed quite well, there were many actresses auditioning that day, including many talented veterans and popular newcomers. No matter how you look at it, choosing such a rookie actress for such a big role seems a bit unreasonable.

Lü Jianyán sighed, helplessly speaking.

"I tell you, it's all true. Do you think I would lie to you about something like this"

Lü Jìyán's face darkened, Gu Kěyǔ watched him and seemed to be truly angry. Only then did she realize that her question just now was so foolish. How could Lü Jìyán possibly deceive her about such a trivial matter

"No! I didn't mean that... It's just, there were so many actresses who went to the audition that day. Some of them were better than me in terms of acting skills and popularity, so... I just couldn't believe the result."

Gu Ke Yu stammered out these words, awkwardly looking at Lu Ji Yan. However, Lu Ji Yan still looked at her with a serious expression.

"Ke Yu, you need to understand that strength and role suitability aren't necessarily related. Some people might have more experience than you, but that doesn't automatically mean they're more suitable for the role of Jin Yuan. The casting team considers many factors when making their decisions."

"When they finally decided on the candidate that day, I was indeed there."

Gu Ke'yu stared blankly at Lu Jiayan, still a little disbelieving of his words. Was this role really hers because of her own ability Was it simply because she better suited the character itself that they chose her

"Although I was there that day, I didn't say much about the final casting decision. The directors present discussed it among themselves, and they all agreed that your performance on set was excellent. At first, there were some dissenting voices."

“They thought you were too young and as a newcomer to the entertainment industry, it was unlikely you could handle such a major leading role. However, director Zhang Yucheng strongly recommended you, so director Du Ysheng ultimately made the decision and cast you as the female lead for this film.”

"Director Zhang Yucheng"

Gu Ke Yu, after hearing Lu Ji Yan's words, asked back, she hadn't expected that in the end, the person who helped her the most to win this role would be Zhang Yu Cheng, the director! Speaking of it, she was able to successfully enter the entertainment industry, also thanks to his help.

Gu Ke Yu's eyes stung with emotion, but her heart felt incredibly warm. In her past life, Director Zhang Yu Cheng was one of the few people in the entire entertainment industry who had been kind to her. She hadn't expected that even after being reborn, he would still be so dedicated to helping her.

"Now do you still think you got this role because I was pulling the strings behind the scenes"

Lu Jiayan looked at Gu Ke'yu softly, a smile in his eyes.

"Do you want to come and talk to me today, and then go find Director Zhang Yucheng later, and reiterate what we just said, and ask him if that's alright"

Gu Ke Yu didn't expect this man to see through her thoughts at a glance and say them out loud. His eyes were too sharp; she truly sighed in her heart that there were no secrets in front of this man.

"Actually, I still have to thank you. This audition went so smoothly because of you."

When thanking Gu Ke Yu, she was still a bit shy, especially when facing Lu Ji Yan. She felt her face getting red and could only gradually lower her head.

Before she came, she was still very uneasy, but seeing Lu Jiyan's attitude, she felt relieved.

Thinking carefully, Lu Jiayan had only helped her once by introducing her to the opportunity to audition. The rest of the casting process was based on her own acting skills. This made her feel a little more at ease.

Although director Zhang Yucheng finally spoke up for Du Yasheng, leading to a good outcome, the key factor was still his acting skills. Without that, all other factors were irrelevant. Now Gu Keyu needs to set aside these external distractions. Since she has been given the role, she must be determined to do her best and not let others underestimate her.

"Alright, alright, just go get some rest."

With the knot in her heart untangled, Gu Ke's worry eased. Seeing the man lying sick before her, she felt a twinge of embarrassment. She knew she shouldn't have disturbed him while he was ill.

"I understand everything now, and I'm ready to go. You should rest up quickly, take your medicine and have a good night's sleep. When you wake up, you'll feel much better."eup artist picked up his makeup bag and walked away.Only Gu Ke'yu and Tang Liji were left in the dressing room."Gu Ke Yu, you... what is your relationship with Lu Ji Yan"Finally, Tang Liji couldn't he...
