Who are these old guys waiting for?
Mr. Gu looked at the door, puzzled: "Huh? No, I didn’t invite any other guests."
It’s all family, just waiting for Zuzi to arrive.
Zuzi, this granddaughter, has quite a stubborn temper. If it wasn’t for Old Man Bao giving him a lousy idea to ask her to come under the pretense of congratulating Gu Qiusha, she might not even be here.
Oh right, Old Man Bao hasn’t arrived yet.
Could it be the old folks are waiting for Old Man Bao?
Mr. Gu felt a bit sour inside; does Old Man Bao really get more love than him, both having retired from the scene?
As he saw a group of bigshots eagerly looking at the door, his third daughter-in-law Sun Jiao brought the freshly made-up Gu Pinting over to him: "Dad, Pinting is here to congratulate you!"
Gu Pinting wore a red dress, looking very glamorous. With the enhancement of cosmetic surgery bracelets, even with light makeup, she was captivating, quite like a movie star.
Sun Jiao was very satisfied and proud of her daughter’s overwhelming presence.
Looking at Gu Jingyan’s unimpressive family: the father being honest and clumsy, the mother plump and slow-witted, and the son rebellious and socially awkward... She felt her branch was the rightful choice to inherit the Gu Family legacy.
Who knew. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Mr. Gu didn’t even turn his head, waving his hand: "Got it, Pinting already congratulated me earlier, she did."
What’s with this somewhat perfunctory attitude?
Sun Jiao thought her daughter was very pretty and cute, so why didn’t the old man even glance at her? He seemed all absorbed, craning his neck, looking outside. Who was he waiting for?
She glanced puzzledly at Gu Shiyin.
Gu Shiyin walked over with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, I’ll take Pinting to see the director."
Today is a perfect opportunity, practically a private audition.
Gu Pinting, feeling excited, lifted her dress obediently, following behind Gu Shiyin towards Director Ma Xiaogang.
"Director Ma, long time no see. This is the niece I mentioned to you, Pinting. Don’t you think she has a classical beauty, quite like Nuwa when she was shyly dating Fu Xi..."
Gu Shiyin introduced.
Ma Xiaogang glanced at Gu Pinting out of courtesy.
Her glamorous appearance indeed had impact, causing him to blink a bit, but he had seen plenty of such beauties in the entertainment circle. He said out of politeness, "Sure, sure, come over for the audition at that time."
Gu Pinting’s heart was pounding wildly: the big director noticed her at first glance and asked her to audition!
Gu Shiyin sensed something was off, so she asked: "Director Ma, do you think Pinting’s look needs any adjustments? She’s seriously looking to make an effort in this film, and she just finished her college entrance exam, so she’s available all summer..."
Director Ma’s eyes turned to the door, and like everyone else eagerly waiting, he absentmindedly replied: "Oh, summer? Then just come over, I’ll have a role for her..."
Gu Pinting was thrilled: "Really, Director, you don’t need an audition, just cast me as Nuwa..."
Ma Xiaogang: "Yeah, one of the clay figures Nuwa made. Feel free to pick one."
Isn’t that like an NPC without lines or a name?
"No, Director, you might have misheard. I want to audition for Nuwa..." Gu Pinting was about to cry. This is not something to mess up.
The next second, Ma Xiaogang sprang up, eyes lit up, almost bouncing to the door: "She’s here!"
