Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

Gu Qiushui is always very hardworking at work. Even though she is acting opposite a 'complete newcomer' who was put in by an investor, she is very serious and never slacks off.

Miss Qi, on the other hand, said she was tired and needed to rest after filming for a while.

The film crew didn't leave until 5 PM, dragging their feet.

On the way back, Yu Ci suddenly asked, "Sister Qiushui, why are you so good-tempered?"

She felt...

When I looked through Gu Qiushui's Weibo before, I could tell that she was a girl with a lot of personality.

This question truly stumped Gu Qiushui.

"This answer is very long."

"Then, Sister Qiushui, you can give me a long story." She was genuinely curious.

Gu Qiushui chuckled. This matter…

"To put it simply, it's a very popular phrase on the internet."

"what?"

Society teaches you how to be a person.

Even the most arrogant and temperamental person, after experiencing a few things, and many things, will become the kind of person that she needs and that society needs.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I'm sorry to have made you wait for me today. Let's go out for hot pot together."

"Hot pot?" Yu Ci exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Qiushui, didn't you say that you would never go to a hot pot restaurant again in your life to maintain your figure?"

"Did I say that?" she asked, feigning doubt. "I don't think I said that."

"In your scarf—"

"I'll delete that Weibo post when I get back." Gu Qiushui looked directly at her. "Don't you want to come with me?"

To Yu Ci, these words sounded almost like a coquettish plea.

I had a wonderful meal at a hot pot restaurant.

When they came back, they were both extremely full.

Yu Ci said that he wanted to practice acting again.

"You act." Gu Qiushui pushed the sofa in the small hotel back a little. "Let me see if you've improved recently."

In the lobby of the small hotel, Yu Ci was fully performing her favorite role. The actress, known in the entertainment industry as a top actress, sat quietly on the sofa next to the small circle, applauding Yu Ci.

After a while, she would say, "You acted really well."

When Xiaoqing, who had come over from the middle, saw the two of them like this, she quickly went to her room.

I don't know why, but every time Sister Gu is with this Miss Yu, it's just... unbearable to watch.

So, is she aloof or cold?

What about poisonous snakes?

High requirements?

They've all disappeared.

-

After finishing the last week's schedule, filming for "The Romantic Beauty" has officially wrapped.

Miss Qi quickly boarded a plane and left. Shen Teng invited the remaining crew members to have a meal together. At the end, he wanted to give Yu Ci a red envelope, but Gu Qiushui refused to accept it.

“She’s here to reshoot scenes, so there’s no need for payment. It’s just a small favor. We’re such good friends, and she works for my studio now, so how could I possibly take your money?”

Gu Qiushui looked serious, as if she was speaking up for Shen Teng.

Shen Teng scoffed softly, "You're quite shrewd, aren't you, Qiu Shui? You won't take my money, but you want me to remember this favor..."

He turned and glanced at Yu Ci, whose eyes were clear, then put away the red envelope. "Alright, I'll remember this favor."

"Come, come, we've finally seen our ancestors off, let's have a drink together."

Amidst the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts, the curtain finally fell on a play.

On October 13th, Yu Ci and Gu Qiushui returned to the capital.

On the 15th, Gu Qiushui invited Yu Ci and Zhao Ruyi to have dinner at the Arc de Triomphe in Beijing, and signed the contract along the way.

Everything is in progress.

On the morning of the 15th, it was early autumn after summer, and the weather was very nice. The temperature and the wind were very comfortable.

Yu arrived at the Arc de Triomphe in Beijing at nine o'clock in the morning.

The process of signing the contract is actually quite simple.

Anyway, both sides have finished their private dealings, so this meeting is just for signing documents and getting to know each other formally.

"Sister Zhao!"

"I will sit down next time."

Gu Qiushui started ordering.

After placing the order, she turned to look at Yu Ci and said, "From now on, Sister Zhao will be our manager. If you can't reach me, you can contact her."

Zhao Ruyi paused for a moment, what the heck?

Shouldn't we contact Gu Qiushui only when we can't reach her?

Before she could react to this strange remark, Yu Ci hummed in agreement.

Skipping over this magical little episode, the private room settled into a conversational atmosphere.

"To be honest, I never expected that you, who had never been in the entertainment industry, would be so talented." Zhao Ruyi picked up a piece of eggplant. "I misjudged you."

Remainder: ? ? ?

"What is considered very talented?"

"Your acting is amazing! I didn't expect you to be such a good actor after only two supporting roles."

Yu Ci was surprised: "Sister Zhao, you've seen my performances before?"

Well... I've been busy lately, so I haven't seen it, but Gu Qiushui did hint at it!

"I've seen it." Zhao Ruyi nodded. "It's very good."

The climax came again.

"Actually, it's alright. I don't have much talent—"

"Don't be modest, you're very good."

Listening to the two of them exchanging empty compliments, Gu Qiushui was like: ???

Chapter Sixty-Two: Gu Qiushui: Can't we live together?

so awkward.

That was really embarrassing.

Zhao Ruyi kept saying, "Your acting is very good, and you have great talent."

Yu Ci kept saying, "No, no, I just tried a little harder, but I'm not as amazing as you say, Sister Zhao."

Gu Qiushui, sitting in the middle, remained silent.

Just then, Zhao Ruyi, who was getting into the swing of things, suddenly said, "Come on, Sister Gu told me last time that the studio wanted to sign you, and I've already drafted a development plan for you—"

Yu Ci listened, his eyes lighting up.

"Wait a minute," Gu Qiushui suddenly spoke up, "Sister Zhao, I need to talk to you about something. Let's go out for a bit."

"what?"

"Let's go out."

"..." Zhao Ruyi, who was confused but impressed, was pulled into a small private room next door by Gu Qiushui, leaving Yu Ci alone in the room, trembling in front of a large table of dishes.

what happened?

-

"Sister Gu, is there anything I can help you with?" Zhao Ruyi asked cautiously.

Gu Qiushui hummed in agreement and then asked, "What kind of development plan did you make for Yu Ci?"

So that's what you were asking.

She was very clear about her plans. She didn't bring out a plan, but Zhao Ruyi always knew her route by heart: "It's nothing much. It's just a simple matter of starting with small roles. Putting aside Yu Ci's family background, let her start by playing supporting roles in various dramas and use her acting skills to make her familiar to the audience."

"Then, seize an opportunity to play a supporting role with decent screen time, increase your popularity, and use the gimmick of a Harvard student studying in the entertainment industry to generate buzz..."

"She studies painting, so we can continue with the persona of an artistic and refreshing beauty."

"Once I've built up my reputation and public image, I'll start working on TV dramas, playing the lead role, so that everyone can see that someone who seems like just a pretty face can also deliver amazing acting skills."

"We could even create a press release about you and Yu Ci, and then hype up your studio—"

"Alright, that's enough." Gu Qiushui raised her hand. "Sister Zhao, your suggestion is excellent."

"I think so too."

"But it can't be used."

Zhao Ruyi: ? ? ?

The strong woman's confusion was practically written all over her face. "Why can't I use it?"

After much deliberation, Gu Qiushui said, "Because Yu Ci's acting skills... can't support this path."

"Sister Gu, do you mean her acting is bad?"

"Hmm." Gu Qiushui finally said what she wanted to say, "You need to devise a new development path for her, but in short, the path cannot be related to acting skills."

"Oh, oh..." Zhao Ruyi, a powerful woman who has been a fixture in the entertainment industry for many years, began to feel a little confused.
