Chi You frowned slightly, displaying her displeasure on her face.
Gu Jingxu looked at her expression, his long and thick eyelashes drooping slightly. Then, without saying a word, he pulled the congee with preserved eggs and lean pork closer and took a sip with a spoon.
Chi You glanced at the breakfast on the table, then pushed the two steamed buns she had just eaten towards him.
“Don’t waste food, finish them all.”
Gu Jingxu lowered his head to drink the congee. After hearing her words, he raised his head, his cheekbones slightly bulging. He looked at her and nodded slightly.
After finishing breakfast, Gu Jingxu took her home to pack her luggage. Assistant Wang came to pick them up downstairs. Before Chi You got in the car, the two nodded at each other.
Gu Jingxu sat beside Chi You, his long legs casually crossed. “The contract is ready. A manager will come to pick you up tomorrow when you go to the crew.”
Chi You was now under his management, and it was only natural for her to sign with Gu’s.
Chi You looked down at her phone, responding with a nonchalant “Hmm” to his words.
Gu Jingxu lowered his eyes without saying anything.
Chi You sensed something and looked up, smiling at him. “President Gu is really concerned about me.”
Although it sounded perfunctory, Gu Jingxu surprisingly didn’t mind.
The man turned his head slightly to hide a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly.
Chi You didn’t continue to look at her phone. Inadvertently, she met the gaze of Assistant Wang who was looking at her through the rearview mirror.
Chi You tilted her head in confusion, and Assistant Wang, feeling guilty, immediately averted his gaze.
He couldn’t believe that Chi You had actually agreed to the boss’s conditions.
Looking so beautiful, she was used as a substitute… Assistant Wang couldn’t help but glance at Chi You again. The girl’s side profile was clean and beautiful, with a delicate and exquisite nose. She casually talked to the man beside her.
The former moonlight of the boss, she must have been incredibly beautiful…
He drove steadily, pretending not to hear the whispered conversation behind him.
If it were a few days ago, seeing the boss reveal such a patient and somewhat clumsy demeanor would have astonished him. However, during the entire journey, even without looking, he could tell from their voices how good their moods were.
After half an hour, they arrived at the run-down residential area where Chi You lived.
The black Maybach stopped in front of the building, attracting the attention of many passersby who couldn’t help but look over, wondering who would drive such a luxurious car to this place.
Assistant Wang also observed the surroundings.
After looking for a while, he gradually understood.
Having a face like that in the entertainment industry, if it weren’t for the lack of background, Chi You would have become famous long ago, and the boss wouldn’t have had the chance to take advantage of her like this.
He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
How was the boss always so lucky?
Starting a business in China went smoothly, and even playing the role of a sponsor seemed to bring good fortune in encountering Chi You.
He complained as he got out of the car, taking a glance at Chi You, who had her face covered tightly with sunglasses. He sighed slightly.
…
In the entire entertainment industry, Gu Corporate held a significant position. Most of the top-tier influencers in the industry were affiliated with it, making it a dominant force with abundant resources. The company also took good care of its artists. The manager chosen by Gu Jingxu for Chi You was also a well-regarded and experienced agent.
Yang Qirou, who had taken a break for some time due to giving birth, returned to work and received a notice to handle a new talent—Chi You. Moreover, she was assigned to focus solely on Chi You.
Considering her history of nurturing numerous highly successful artists, handling three or four A-listers simultaneously was not uncommon for Yang Qirou. This sudden change made her feel uneasy. She couldn’t help but wonder if the company was considering letting her go, starting by reducing her workload.
However, this morning, she received a message directly from the big boss instructing her to concentrate on developing the newcomer, Chi You.
She read the message several times to confirm the genuine emphasis behind the words.
Yang Qirou became even more perplexed.
Since the establishment of Gu Corporate, she had been with the company. Over the years, it was the first time she had witnessed the boss paying such close attention to an individual.
While Yang Qirou was lost in thought, the car door was pulled open from the outside. A clean yet incredibly beautiful face entered her line of sight. The girl seemed genuinely happy to see her, greeted her with a smile, and, after getting into the car, waved outside, saying, “Alright, you can go back now.”
Yang Qirou subconsciously looked outside and saw the boss, whom she rarely encountered in person. He was standing outside in a solemn and reserved black suit, his sharp jaw slightly raised, engaging in conversation with the girl who had just entered.
Having dealt with numerous artists, Yang Qirou still felt a bit uneasy when facing the boss. She politely greeted Gu Jingxu.
The man sternly said, “Take good care of her.”
Yang Qirou quickly responded, “Of course.”
Gu Jingxu then looked at Chi You, raising his hand to ruffle her hair with a gentle touch.
“I’ll pick you up tonight.”
Gu Jingxu rarely spoke to people in this manner, but the girl shook her head.
“No need, it’s too troublesome back and forth.”
After saying this, she added, “Go back and finish your breakfast. Don’t waste it.”
The tall figure of the man stiffened for a moment before he said a couple more words and left.
Yang Qirou couldn’t help but glance at the boss’s departing figure, feeling that there was something slightly tragic about his tall stature.
