Chapter 419 Gu Ronghui, Go to hell!

When Zhao Xuan saw him enter, she stood up and respectfully greeted him, "President Gu."

Gu Ronghui acted as if she hadn't heard, not even glancing at her.

Zhao Xuan tactfully replied, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back and get back to work."

Gu Rong gave a barely perceptible nod in response.

Zhao Xuan left the ward, and Gu Rong walked back to the foot of the bed, picked up the sheet hanging on it, and her eyes fell on the attending physician's diagnosis, "Acute gastric perforation..."

He paused, then chuckled, "Mrs. Gu, you have quite the capacity for alcohol."

Lu Shengsheng gave a forced smile: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Gu Rong glanced at him with her dark eyes, her voice icy: "Was I praising you?"

"Isn't that right?" Lu Shengsheng pretended to be naive and said, "I'll take that as a compliment!"

"Lu, Sheng, Sheng!" Gu Ronghui felt an inexplicable fire ignite in her heart.

Lu Shengsheng covered her ears. "I'm not deaf, you don't need to shout so loudly."

"Do you really enjoy being a jerk?" Gu Rong asked through gritted teeth.

Lu Shengsheng retorted slowly, "How can you be more despicable? Every bone and every cell in your body is despicable!"

Gu Ronghui frowned, her dark eyes filled with hatred, as if she wanted to devour her. However, before she could have a chance to attend the meeting, her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and answered without any attempt to hide it from Lu Shengsheng, "Hello, Yangyang..."

Her voice, which had been icy cold just moments before, was now gentle and tender, as if she were afraid that even a slight increase in volume would frighten the person opposite her.

Lu Shengsheng couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly. It wasn't that she was cheap, but that Gu Ronghui had always looked down on her.

"Okay, I'm coming right away!" Gu Rong hung up the phone, her expression turning icy cold again. She parted her thin lips slightly and said, "Don't think you can rest easy just because you've latched onto Tang Yifeng. Be careful you don't even know how you died!"

Lu Shengsheng looked at him, her red lips parted slightly in a smile, and said, word by word, "Gu, Rong, Hui, you, go, die!"

Seeing that she wouldn't listen to reason, Gu Ronghui gave up and turned to leave.

They didn't even mention her health from beginning to end.

Fortunately, Lu Shengsheng was already used to his awful behavior and didn't expect to get any comfort from him.

However, every second I spent with him felt like an eternity, unbearable.

The next day, Zhou Qing came to visit the sick man, carrying flowers and a fruit basket.

Lu Shengsheng was receiving an IV drip when she saw him arrive and quickly got up.

"Lie down!" Zhou Qing quickly pressed down on her shoulders.

Lu Shengsheng insisted on sitting up, saying, "It's okay, the more I lie down, the less energy I have."

Zhou Qing smiled and sat down on the chair next to him. "How are you feeling?"

"It's nothing serious, thank you for your concern, Director Zhou. I'm so sorry to have made you come all this way!" Lu Shengsheng said politely.

"Of course," Zhou Qing replied, glancing around before asking, "Didn't President Gu come to see you?"

“He came yesterday and then left again,” Lu Shengsheng replied casually. “He probably went to be with his white moonlight.”

Zhou Qing's smile froze. Although Gu Ronghui's affair with the Lin family's daughter at the airport had become a trending topic, and everyone was secretly speculating that Lu Shengsheng was about to be divorced, no one expected her to say it so bluntly.

Lu Shengsheng smiled slightly, "There's nothing I can't say, everyone knows."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh, "I know you really want to play the female lead this time, but many things are not up to me alone."

No matter how much power a director has, they cannot control those capitalists.

Lu Shengsheng's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "President Tang is unwilling to invest?"

“President Tang has agreed to invest, but you need to understand that there’s no such thing as a free lunch!” Zhou Qing kindly reminded her, “Your few drinks aren’t enough to get President Tang to invest 50 million.” Lu Shengsheng understood what he meant, “I’m happy as long as he’s willing to invest and vouch for me so I can play the female lead.”

As for the rest, we'll talk about it later.

Seeing that she was determined, Zhou Qing didn't know to try to persuade her any further. After offering a few words of concern, he left.

No one came to see her in the following days.

When Zhao Xuan came back with the contract, Lu Shengsheng happily signed it and asked Zhao Xuan to help her with the discharge procedures.

Zhao Xuan: "The doctor wants you to stay in the hospital for at least a week."

Lu Shengsheng immediately pulled out the IV drip. "I'd better just go into training now, lest something goes wrong."

Zhao Xuan couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she could only process her discharge from the hospital.

Lu Shengsheng didn't go back to the villa, but went to the apartment instead. She changed the keypad lock on the front door to prevent some horny animals from coming to bother her in the middle of the night.

Zhou Qing's latest movie is a crime thriller. The female lead is a highly intelligent and skilled policewoman, so she trains her physical fitness two months in advance, doing the right exercises and shaping her body. She can't just be thin; she also needs to have muscles.

The training was tough, but Lu Shengsheng never complained or said she was tired, because she wanted to play the role well and let everyone know that she was not just a pretty face, but also had real talent.

This way, even without the resources Gu Rong provides after her divorce, she can still carry a drama, and producers and investors will be willing to give her a chance.

A month later.

The production team held its first reading session to review the book. The male lead is Huo Chen, a well-known action star in the industry with a high status. Many people consider it an honor to work with him.

Lu Shengsheng also cherished this opportunity and humbly learned from Huo Chen.

Huo Chen has a gentle personality and does not put on airs because of his high status. He is mild-mannered and humble.

After the reading session, the director organized dinner for the main actors that evening.

The group chatted and laughed, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Tang Yifeng walked in, his gaze fixed intently on Lu Shengsheng.

Zhou Qing stood up to greet him, "President Tang..."

The others also stood up, after all, they were investors.

Tang Yifeng shifted his gaze from Lu Shengsheng, "I happened to be having dinner next door tonight, and I heard you were coming over to say hello."

Zhou Qing nodded. "How about we sit down and have a drink?"

"No, thank you." Tang Yifeng waved his hand in polite refusal. "President Gu is still next door."

He paused for a moment, then looked at Lu Shengsheng and said, "Mrs. Gu, won't you go over and say hello?"

In an instant, all eyes were focused on Lu Shengsheng.

Lu Shengsheng maintained her smile, "No, I won't join in the fun on your men's turf."

"It's not exactly our home turf," Tang Yifeng replied, his eyes turning sinister. "Let's go!"

His words conveyed an air of dominance that left no room for argument.

Lu Shengsheng couldn't afford to offend him, otherwise, if he withdrew his investment, she, as the leading actress, could be replaced at any time. So she had no choice but to get up and go with him to the next private room.

The door to the next private room was open, and before I even went in, I heard a gentle voice: "Ah Hui, drink less, it's bad for your health."

Lu Shengsheng stopped in her tracks, and the smile on her lips vanished instantly.

When Tang Yifeng saw her stop, he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Shengsheng snapped out of her daze and smiled faintly, "It's nothing."

Stepping into the private room, I saw Gu Ronghui sitting in the main seat, with Lin Leyang sitting next to him, her whole body seemingly leaning against him.
