strange."Zui Ning, are you going up there But..."Before Zhou Shuangqing could say more, Xu Zui'ning quickly interrupted her."My esteemed lords, listen to me."Xu Zui Ning grabbed Zhou Shuang Qing's sho...After everyone was seated, director Zhang Yucheng adjusted his glasses and addressed the two investors: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang, as I mentioned on the phone before, and in our previous collaborations, you know my character well. If you trust me, Gu Ke'yu is absolutely the perfect person for this film."
“Well, well, we've cooperated many times. We certainly trust Director Zhang as a person. But now the outside world is in turmoil. If we continue to let Gu Ke Yu play the female lead, it will have a huge impact on the film's ratings.”
"We've all poured a lot of heart and soul into this. If we end up losing everything, who will be responsible for the losses"
After speaking, Manager Chen crossed her arms and leaned back in the chair with a blank expression, her eyes continuously scanning Gu Ke Yu.
"Yeah! Sure, we're cooperating, but the ins and outs need to be clear." Zhang followed suit, her demeanor now a far cry from the woman who had been fooled by Liang Mingsi. She was wearing a shrewd merchant's mask.
Actually, their concerns were entirely within Gu Keyu's expectations. After all, no one wants to make a losing deal. It's just that if Gu Keyu still wanted to continue as the female lead in this movie, she had to show her attitude.
Gu Ke'yu sat up straight, took a deep breath, and said to the two investors with utmost sincerity: "I am very sorry for what happened recently. I understand your concerns are reasonable, but I hope you can believe me once. After rejoining the team, I will use my abilities to prove to the audience that I can."
“You speak better than you sing! Anyone can just spout empty words. Why should we believe you” After Gu Ke'yu finished speaking, Zhang Zong said sarcastically, with a look of disdain on his face.
Zhang Zong's words made Gu Keyu feel a little embarrassed for a moment. She couldn't convince others with just her bare words, and her face flushed slightly.
But now she had to seize this opportunity. She swallowed nervously and was just about to continue when the door to the conference room opened.
It was Lu Jiayan who interrupted the meeting. He strode in, his tailored suit and sharply defined features immediately dominating the room. There was a hint of anger on his face.
For a moment, the entire conference room fell silent. Even Mr. Chen, who had been somewhat awkward just moments before, and the female CEO both closed their mouths.
Lu Jiuyan sat down in an empty chair with a cold face, ignoring the shocked gazes of everyone around him. Then he turned to director Zhang Yucheng and said: "Director Zhang, I want to invest in this film."
Lu Jiayan was not asking Director Zhang, but spoke with an unquestionable tone.
For Gu Ke's surprise arrival, Gu Keyu was both surprised and delighted. She was surprised that Lu Jiayan would come, and even more so that he would invest in this film. She was delighted because Lu Jiayan's arrival relieved a lot of her pressure, as if she suddenly had a backbone.
However, Chen and Zhang, who were sitting beside him, changed color when they heard Lu Jiayan's words. The two looked at each other and wanted to speak to Lu Jiayan, but Lu Jiayan didn't even glance at the two of them. He just nodded to Gu Ke'yu with a hint of comfort.
"Director Zhang, I'm personally very interested in this film. You should know about our company's capabilities. So, how about it Is there any possibility for me to be the sole sponsor of this film"
Lu Jiayan finished speaking in a calm tone, then glanced back at General Chen and General Zhang. The two men's faces instantly paled, and they didn't dare to say a word, only stammering and looking at each other.
Director Zhang Yucheng was quite surprised. He hesitated for a moment, but soon he made up his mind and nodded, saying, “Alright, then it’s settled!”
Gu Ke Yu didn't expect things to turn around so quickly. She had come before the two investors full of confidence, but they slapped her in the face. Just when she was anxious and thought there was no way back, Lu Ji Yan's appearance actually changed the whole situation, making everything develop in a good direction.
Lu Jiayan sat on the sofa not far away. His determined expression left no room for doubt, and coupled with his always-do-his-own-thing style of handling things, Gu Ke'yu looked at him, her face slightly flushed, she just felt that this man's charm inexplicably increased by a few points.
It was only then that Gu Ke Yu remembered what Si Nian had said before. It turned out that the Lu Ji Yan she usually saw was completely different from the one in his work state. The Lu Zong who dominated the business world was definitely not just a title for nothing.
You see, at the beginning, Zhang and Chen didn't take Gu Ke Yu seriously at all. They even treated her like a pushover, someone they could manipulate as they pleased. They scoffed at her acting skills, every word dripping with doubt and sarcasm. But the arrival of Lu Ji Yan completely changed the game.
Zhang Zong and Chen Zong were directly intimidated by Lu Jiayan's aura. The two of them became meek and compliant at this moment, completely losing the imposing manner they had just shown. They even spoke cautiously, afraid to raise their voices for fear of stepping on Lu Jiayan's tail.
Gu Ke'yu naturally, with Lu Jiyan's help, successfully landed the female lead role in this film. No one on set had any objections, nor dared to have any, and things were quickly settled. From then on, Gu Ke'yu wouldn't have to look at anyone's face anymore.
"Alright, go back and rest for a day, get yourself settled. I'll be waiting for you on set." Director Zhang Yucheng was quite pleased with today's results. He stood up and patted Gu Ke'yu's shoulder, considering that Gu Ke'yu had just returned from the countryside and needed time to adjust.
"Okay, director. I'll do my best."
After saying goodbye to director Zhang Yucheng, Gu Keyu was a little silent.
"What's wrong Aren't you happy about landing the lead role" Lu Jiayan stopped in his tracks, looking into Gu Ke'yu's eyes with concern.
Gu Ke Yu shook her head, gently pushing Lu Ji Yan back, and continued walking forward without stopping. She couldn't tell why, she just felt a tightness in her chest. She couldn't smile no matter what, but logically, she should be very happy with this outcome.
"It's nothing, maybe it's just me. You don't have to worry too much."
Lu Jiuyan chased after him, grabbed Gu Keyu's wrist, his eyes full of worry, and the strength in his hand unconsciously increased.
"Don't bottle things up inside. If there's anything, please tell me. Don't make me guess or worry."uly hard to come by."Thank you, but it's not necessary."Gu Ke yu sternly refused.Since that night had already happened, Gu Ke'yu wouldn't mind it anymore.She came into this world with one purpose: rev...
