Rebirth: I Am the Wealthy Family (GL) - Chapter 25

“Yes, it’s those two. I wonder if you have any insightful opinions, Writer Yè?”

Gu Míngzhū clearly held Yè Fēngzǐ in high regard and treated her with great courtesy. Yè Fēngzǐ, however, simply smiled: “None. I’m just wondering whether you or Qianyǔ is the ‘top’ or ‘bottom’ one. I saw your news; it’s extremely explosive. Maybe I’ll write about you in my next book. I’ve even thought of the name: ‘The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me.’ What an explosive theme!”

“Stop messing around, Writer Yè. I’m talking about serious business. You handle the script and write it well. The price is negotiable!”

Yè Fēngzǐ was sitting in a wheelchair. She suddenly stood up, which immediately startled Chen Qianyǔ.

“Your legs…”

“What about my legs? Oh my god, Qianyǔ, you are too cute! I like to sit in a wheelchair to find inspiration. It’s just a little personal quirk of mine. You didn’t really think there was something wrong with my legs, did you? Haha, actually, I have long legs. In fact, compared to Director Gu, I know better how to cherish and protect beautiful women. Why don’t you be with me? I don’t have a girlfriend yet.”

As Yè Fēngzǐ spoke, she didn’t forget to pinch Chen Qianyǔ’s cheek, taking advantage of her. After she finished, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. Gu Míngzhū’s face was extremely displeased. Yè Fēngzǐ realized the joke might have gone too far.

“Haha, just kidding. I can handle the script, no problem. Should I write it as we film, or do you want me to write the whole thing and give it to you all at once?”

“Write as we film. It’s a weekly drama, airing on Wednesdays and Thursdays on Míngzhū TV, which I recently acquired. The online rights are also exclusively released by Míngzhū Film and Television. So, your script must be good, or it will tarnish your reputation as a Jìnjiāng deity!”

Yè Fēngzǐ lazily smiled: “If you find a girl to keep me company, I’ll write even better. That’s settled. Bye-bye, Qianyǔ!” After saying that, Yè Fēngzǐ didn’t forget to blow a kiss to Chen Qianyǔ and wheeled herself away.

“Qianyǔ, I have something else to do, so I can’t stay here with you. I think you might have something to discuss with Director Gu, right?” Hán Dōng’ér decisively moved away, clearly not wanting to be a third wheel at this time.

After Hán Dōng’ér left, Chen Qianyǔ was also about to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by Gu Míngzhū.

“Where are you going?”

Chen Qianyǔ immediately shook off Gu Míngzhū’s hand, “That’s none of your business, Director Gu. I’m an adult; I can go wherever I want. You can’t control me.”

“What if I insist on controlling you? I heard you’re holding a press conference. What are you planning to say?”

Chen Qianyǔ had now completely shaken off Gu Míngzhū’s hand, turned around, and faced Gu Míngzhū directly. She folded her arms and looked at her defiantly. She had standard almond-shaped eyes, which were large and full of spirit, and she stared right at Gu Míngzhū, holding her head high.

“I’ll say whatever I want to say. You can’t control my affairs.”

Chen Qianyǔ had had enough of Gu Míngzhū repeatedly provoking her. After provoking her, Gu Míngzhū could casually walk away as if nothing had happened.

“You have a temper now, Qianyǔ. You finally have a temper. Interesting, very interesting. But I’m telling you, there are some things you should say, and some things you absolutely cannot say, or you might find yourself unable to survive in the entertainment industry. I, Gu Míngzhū, can save you, and I can also destroy you. You should know my capabilities. You see that Fēng Tíngtíng has no activity now; she’s completely blacklisted. No one dares to hire her for a drama. Do you want to become like her?”

“Gu Míngzhū, are you threatening me? I’m telling you, I, Chen Qianyǔ, am afraid of nothing except being threatened. Bring it on! You’ll see if I dare to say it or not. The press conference tomorrow is set, and what I say is my freedom. Now, please let go of my hand.” It turned out that when Chen Qianyǔ tried to leave just now, Gu Míngzhū grabbed her hand again, preventing her from leaving. She forcefully pried Gu Míngzhū’s hand away again, turned around, and walked away elegantly.

After she left, Gu Míngzhū remained standing in place. Chen Qianyǔ did not look back. She walked straight back to her room, and with a bang, kicked the door open. She was clearly very angry, which startled Ān Xī, who was lying on the bed.

“You, what’s wrong with you? Did you swallow a firecracker?”

“None of your business!”

Chen Qianyǔ was fuming. She buried herself under the covers, not wanting to communicate with anyone.

“Did you argue with Hán Dōng’ér? She’s just like that, sharp tongue but kind heart. Just don’t take it seriously.” Ān Xī was now sitting up, holding her phone and looking at some data. At this point, Chen Qianyǔ also sat up on the bed.

“Oh, judging by what you said, you know Hán Dōng’ér quite well. I’m sorry about what happened on set today; it was mainly because you provoked me first.”

Ān Xī ignored Chen Qianyǔ. Seeing that she was also in a bad mood, she said: “Chen Qianyǔ, you are going to be a hit! Oh my god, look, you’ve risen to the top of Weibo’s hot topics! Look at your follower count; it’s about to break ten million! If this continues, you’ll catch up to me in a few days.” Ān Xī reclined on the bed, looking at the comments from her Weibo followers.

Chen Qianyǔ also leaned towards Ān Xī: “What are you doing?”

“Commenting on you. I’m reposting one; this is so interesting.”

Ān Xī very shamelessly reposted a Weibo post Chen Qianyǔ made three months ago and commented: “Everything will be better tomorrow!”

In less than a minute, Ān Xī’s comment had over a thousand replies. Below, people were asking if it was true, and some were asking who was the ‘top’ and who was the ‘bottom’ between Gu Míngzhū and Chen Qianyǔ. Some even begged for explicit details.

“Haha, Chen Qianyǔ, Ā Hé’s phone is probably blowing up right now. Are you going to explain this matter at the press conference tomorrow?”

Ān Xī tilted her head, staring at Chen Qianyǔ.

“Yes, I’m going to talk about this matter. What, is there a problem?”

“I didn’t say there’s a problem. I just think you’re a really brave girl. I don’t have your courage. I really envy you.” Ān Xī put away her phone and then sat up into a handstand. She was starting her training. “Chen Qianyǔ, I usually sleep late, so I hope you don’t mind. There’s no dance studio here. I can only practice in the room. It might disturb you, but I’ll practice in the bathroom, which should minimize the disturbance to you.”

“Practice dancing? You filmed all day and still need to practice dancing?”

Ān Xī stared at Chen Qianyǔ in surprise: “Chen Qianyǔ, is this your first day in this industry? What if I filmed all day? You still have to do what needs to be done. If you don’t work hard, you’ll be squeezed out sooner or later.” Ān Xī had already started her handstand, then spread out the script for Renjian Sizheyue Tian and read it meticulously, reciting the lines.
