Chapter 578: When Will You Confess?

    

tertainment industry by chance and found meaning in her life. 。As for Gu Ruannuan, she was pretty quick-witted when it came to studying. She didn't really have any plans at first; she just kept going...Lu Yaoyao wasn't the type to dwell on things. Although she was a little bothered at first that he had schemed against her, after hearing what the assistant said, she immediately became proud as punch.

It's the same double standard. If someone she doesn't like does this to her, she distances herself in minutes. But if someone she likes does it, then it's called mutual love, right

Although it makes me sound like a bit of a jerk, trading Yuan Binghuan for Gu Ruandong is still a win.

"Yo yo, try to tone down your smile a bit, okay" The assistant saw her smitten expression and couldn't help but remind her kindly.

"I can't help it." A smile spread across her face as she involuntarily recalled every little detail from before, searching for clues that he liked her. However, after a long while of reminiscing, she realized Gu Ruandong was very good at hiding his feelings; she couldn't feel even the slightest hint that he had ever liked her.

He's as calm and collected as ever! If she hadn't attacked first, he would have stayed hidden forever.

And when will he finally confess She can't wait any longer.

"Come on, come on, let's go eat. We still have night shoots later." The assistant couldn't stand it anymore and urged her.

"Oh," she said happily, arm in arm with her assistant, as they walked to the restaurant.

After eating for a while, Xu Shao and her crew's producer and director also came in, sitting at the table next to them. Because they were discussing things, they didn't notice Lu YaoYao and her assistant.

The producer said: "East Yang Film and Television has officially withdrawn its investment. I have been in contact with several companies these past few days, and it will probably be finalized next year."

As soon as Lu Yaoyao heard that Dongyang Film and Television had withdrawn its investment, she listened attentively.

"Don't be so sure yet. I talked to the person in charge of Dongyang, and they said..."

"I'll be investing, but the funds are coming from me personally. The dividends will be split among them when the time comes."

Xu Zhao decided that the problem with Dongyang Entertainment was funding. Since Gu Ruan couldn't bring himself to be honest and save face, she would take responsibility.

"Teacher Xu, why do you have to do this"

The director had anticipated this: “Don’t you know Zhaozhao Over the years, for any of her projects, Dongyang Pictures has always been involved in some way.”

Producer: "But this time, it was Dongyang who took the initiative to withdraw their investment. Even if you guys are best friends, there's no such thing as a collaboration like this."

Xu Zhao: "I'll give Gu Ruandong a call. You guys wait a moment."

Lu Yaoyao felt like she was experiencing heaven and hell at the same time. The pride and happiness from just moments ago hadn't subsided, they were still burning brightly, yet now a bucket of ice water had been poured over her.

She had clearly asked Gu Ruandong, and he said he was unfamiliar.

But their conversation just now seemed very familiar. Xu Shao and the producer had no need to lie.

Her assistant also heard the conversation from the next table just now, a little shocked, she whispered, "Is Gu Shao and Xu Zhao on good terms"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little princess's face immediately darkened. The assistant was unaware of what had just happened.

Xu Zhao got up to make a phone call and only then did she see Lu Yaoyao at the next table. She nodded and continued to make her call outside.

Lu Yaoyao saw her talking on the phone outside the restaurant, and she also dialed Gu Ruandong's private number.

Line is busy.

I called the work phone again, and Xiao Cai picked up quite quickly.

Miss Lu

"Have Gu Ruandong answer the phone." Her tone was a bit sharp.

"Mr. Gu is on the phone right now, can I have him call you back later" Xiao Cai frowned and glanced at Mr. Gu who was on the phone at his desk in the office. His face didn't look good.

Convenient.

"Get him on the line, now!" She was being completely unreasonable, her eyes fixed on Xu Zhao outside the window as if she could already picture Gu Ruandong talking to him on his personal phone.

Her heart ached now, a con man, a big one.

"Okay, just a moment." Xiaocai was speechless, but she didn't dare to offend this young lady. She covered the receiver and passed the phone to Gu Ruandong, who was talking on the phone next to her.

Gu Ruandong was taking a call from his father, his eyes sharp and fierce, his whole body radiating anger. He spoke in a suppressed voice:

"I'll take care of the Xu family's matters, so don't go looking for trouble."

After hanging up, he glanced at Xiao Cai's phone in his hand, picked it up, adjusted his breath, and then spoke.

"Yaoyao"

The voice still sounds a bit cold and rigid, unable to switch easily and naturally.

Lu YaoYao just wanted to confirm if Xu Zhao had really called him, that's good, Xu Zhao had just returned and he answered her call.

"It's fine," she calmed down and didn't ask any further.

If he intended to conceal something from her, what questions could she possibly ask

She asked him twice directly, and he denied it both times, didn't he

But what about the facts

"Alright, let's video chat later." Gu Ruandong couldn't communicate normally with her right now because he had just taken a call from his father. He was afraid his cold and harsh voice would scare her.

On the phone, his father said that the Xu family had run into trouble, being reported and implicated in a wide range of issues. The higher-ups had ordered a strict investigation as the situation was very serious. According to inside sources, it was likely that Zhu Hong himself would lead the investigation team.

Since Zhu Hong personally investigated it, it must be a big deal.

If the Xu family gets into trouble, our Gu family will probably not be at peace either. Do you think...

"Figure out a way to connect with Zhu Hong. Do you have any collaborations with him and his son, Zhu Yu'an"

Gu Ruandong cut him off: "I'll handle the Xu family matter. Don't go looking for trouble."

Then he hung up the phone.

The Xu family has done the Gu family a great favor. When his father was in trouble, it was the Xu family who used their connections to get him out of it. Later, when his father went into business, he also received secret help from the Xu family, which allowed him to establish himself in the business world.

Though the two families have publicly severed ties and stopped all contact for many years, Gu Ruandong, out of respect for his ancestors' past kindness, felt obligated to reciprocate.

Repaying favors is the hardest debt to settle.

His father wanted to use him to smooth things over with Zhu Hong's connections. Gu Ruandong, without even thinking, refused. He hadn't collaborated with Zhu Yunan in the first place for the sake of family ties from previous generations.

Gu Ruandong's first half of life was dominated by the Gu family and his mother, Mrs. Gu, pushing him forward. He thought he had finally freed himself, but as Lu Kuo said, all traces would leave their mark on him.

Once Xu's family is implicated, the Gu family will inevitably be drawn in. These intricate connections never allow him to remain aloof.

Xu Zhao just went out to call Gu Ruandong, but happened to receive a call from home.

Her mother said, "Zhao Zhao, you should try to avoid appearing in the media as much as possible lately."

Her mother was unusually serious.

What's wrong

"Your father has been put under double regulations, it probably won't be a few days before it comes out. You should take care of yourself, it's best to ask for leave and go home for a few days."

Tell her to go home and lay low.

At the beginning, Xu Zhao didn't think it was a big deal. Occasional reports were just routine inspections, nothing serious. But from her mother's tone, she sensed this time might be different.

But the whole crew was there, and she couldn't just walk off, so she said:

"I will be careful."Gu Ruandong is a man of action. His actions speak louder than words, proving his determination. 。Luke: "To be honest, I don't agree with you two being together, but I can't make that decision for her....
