Chapter 4:
Qi Wei, who originally did not plan to go to the cornfield, suddenly decided to go.
Before heading to the cornfield, I avoided the cameras and called my dad.
'Hey, Dad.
Has the lead actress for the movie you invested in been chosen yet?' My dad replied, 'Not yet.
Weren't you strongly recommending Gu Yan to me? I was planning to have someone contact her.' 'Let's hold off on that for now,' I pursed my lips.
'I suddenly feel like she may not be suitable.' My dad was about to ask more questions when I heard the production team calling for me.
My dad heard it too.
'You go first.
It's your investment in that movie, and the decision is yours.
We'll talk when you come back.' 'Alright.' I hung up the phone and calmly integrated myself into the group.
Gu Yan was surrounded by people, her smile graceful and well-mannered.
I used to be confident that I understood her.
But now, my confidence has been shattered.
'You pay so much attention to her,' Qi Wei, who appeared by my side at some point, said casually.
She looked ahead and continued, 'Do you like her?' She had seen everything in the room earlier, so I decided to be honest, 'I used to.' Qi Wei sneered, 'You have terrible taste.' I stayed silent as she quickened her pace and walked ahead.
As soon as she passed, the cameras immediately focused on her.
She knows how to work the camera.
Gu Yan's expression changed, but quickly adjusted.
However, I could see that she was angry.
She was angry because Qi Wei stole the spotlight.
...
We arrived at the cornfield, and He Zhang taught us how to husk corn.
Then he pointed to a piece of land behind us and said, 'This whole area is ours.
We need to finish husking today, so let's divide into groups.' He winked at me and said, 'I heard Xiao Fan is Gu Yan's loyal fan.
So I'll give you this opportunity.
How about you go with Gu Yan to the left side?' I was momentarily stunned and couldn't react.
Gu Yan, on the other hand, smiled and said, 'Sure, Xiao Fan and I get along very well.
We can have a good chat.' Saying that, she warmly walked over, grabbed my hand, and said, 'Let's go.' She appeared to be a gentle and intelligent older sister.
At that moment, she turned around, facing away from the camera, and rolled her eyes at He Zhang.
She muttered a curse word, 'Am I supposed to husk corn for you right after I did my nails?' She gripped my wrist tightly, causing some pain.
On the way, the camera instructor was a bit far from us."
She spoke in a low voice, "I warned you not to ride on my popularity." I shook off her hand and said coldly, "Isn't it tiring to act like this?" She looked at me with some surprise.
Then she sneered, "No need for you to act, just talking about being my loyal fan makes me sick." She made me so angry that my hands were shaking.
She had just crushed all the years of sincerity I had for her.
Now I'm starting to doubt.
Could my judgment really be this bad?
