"I think so too, what would you like to eat? It’s on me."
"Let’s invite Gu Xichen to join us, and we can also discuss the drama."
Antonio responded, "Sure."
After making the call, Gu Lili went to the restaurant with Antonio.
They chose seats by the window.
Just as the dishes were served, Gu Xichen arrived with Jingsheng.
"The traffic was horrible on the way." Gu Xichen removed his suit jacket, placed it over the chair, rolled up his shirt sleeves and sat down, "Have you settled things with writer Bai Zhi’an?"
"Yep, we’re signing the contract this afternoon."
"Who is the director considering?" Gu Xichen asked.
"We haven’t decided yet."
"I’d like to recommend someone," Gu Xichen said while eating, "Lang Fabin. He only makes a movie every three or even more years. He doesn’t produce many, but every single one is a hit. It’s been two years since his last work, I think there’s a good chance we can persuade him if we invite him."
"Then let’s get in touch and see." Gu Lili looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Are you really willing to invest that much money?"
"I never joke around. When I’m serious, I’m serious," Gu Xichen said gently, "I’m not afraid of losing money; why, are you?"
"I’m even less afraid." She lifted her chin slightly, "Apart from the 40 million from our side, the Gu Family is investing 100 million, of which 50 million should also be considered as my investment. Deduct from my shares if we lose, and I’ll return it to you if we win."
Gu Xichen looked at her and chuckled, "So that means, Gu family is investing 50 million, your company 40 million, and you personally another 50 million?"
"That’s right." She said softly, "If we win, it’s mine. If we lose, it’s also fine. At least the Gu Family can bear less risk."
"Investment is about taking risks; doing business is exactly this," Gu Xichen agreed upon seeing her resolve, "Alright, let’s do it this way. I didn’t expect you to have such courage."
"Money, you don’t bring it with you when you’re born or take it with you when you die. It only has its worth if you dare to spend it. Now I have no worries about food and clothes, and even less fear of falling into despair later, I naturally dare to stake it all."
"Gu Xichen, can I discuss something with you?" Antonio pursed his lips, "Could I possibly stay in your room at Xiliang Mountain when you’re not using it?"
Gu Xichen didn’t hesitate at all, "No."
"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Don’t even think about it; I’ll go back whenever I have time," Gu Xichen intentionally said, "It’s been a long time since I’ve had Lili’s cooking, kinda miss it."
"Jingsheng, eat more. Has Gu Xichen been mistreating you? You look a bit thinner," Gu Lili added food to her bowl.
"Hey, that’s totally unfair!" Gu Xichen complained, "I feed her like a pig every day, and I’m baffled where all the food she eats goes. She eats more than I do daily, and even has supper."
Jingsheng hit Gu Xichen, "You’re the pig. I do eat a lot daily but just don’t gain weight. I guess it’s just my constitution..."
While speaking, her gaze fell behind Gu Lili.
Gu Lili instinctively looked back and saw Long Yubei with his college friend Shu Ya entering.
She glanced only once and immediately withdrew her gaze.
Her expression unchanged.
Long Yubei and Shu Ya also saw them, and they sat down at a table behind Gu Lili.
Shu Ya sat back-to-back with Gu Lili, while Long Yubei sat opposite, able to see Gu Lili’s figure from behind. The rıghtful source is NovelHub(.)net
