Yuanyuan felt even more world-weary inside; she couldn’t bid on a single item, while Little Taotie was able to bid on so many, and specifically chose them as gifts.
This economic power was something she could only dream of!
After returning from the auction, Little Taotie saw Gu Yixing at home.
As usual, Gu Yixing brought a lot of tasty treats.
"I’m going to be filming soon and might not be able to visit for a while."
"What’s the movie? Is it like the last one, with the Immortal flying around?"
"Pretty much, it’s also a fantasy genre."
"I’ll wait for Brother Xingxing to finish filming; I’ll come visit the set."
"Really?" Gu Yixing smiled happily, his gaze sweeping provocatively over Cheng Guodong and Qin Xin, who were beside him.
After sending away the scoundrel, Cheng Guodong felt refreshed.
Cheng Guodong: "Your method really worked!"
Qin Xin smiled broadly.
Cheng Guodong had invested in a big-budget fantasy film dictating the male protagonist had to be played by Gu Yixing, no matter the cost. He insisted on getting Gu Yixing for the role and demanded a closed set, meticulously chosen for its beautiful mountains and rivers.
Sure enough, they had tricked Gu Yixing into going!
Cheng Guodong was triumphant: "Let him go to the mountains. He won’t be able to come back for half a year!"
Qin Xin smiled broadly: "This investment will have a huge return. Not only will it keep him from bothering us, but we can also make money off of him. I really want to see the annoyed expression on his face when he finds out the truth."
Cheng Guodong laughed slyly: "Once this one’s done, I’ll immediately prepare to invest in the next one, not giving him any chance to rest."
Qin Xin nodded and gave a thumbs-up, very much in agreement.
In the car, the agent asked, "Even though you knew that those two brothers had set you up, you still deliberately jumped into the trap. You could have refused this movie."
Gu Yixing was fidgeting with a stone, remembering the way Little Taotie presented the stone to him, and he smiled softly.
When Little Taotie heard the introduction at the auction, she was immediately taken with it.
Meteorite equals star.
This gift is just perfect for Brother Xingxing!
With her sweet, milky voice, Little Taotie offered the gift: "Brother Xingxing, I’ve plucked a star from the sky for you! Look, twinkle twinkle, it shines so bright~"
It was the first time Gu Yixing had received such a special gift.
Gu Yixing was a name he had chosen for himself.
After being switched by his nanny, he had been through many hands before finally ending up in a troupe, never having had a proper name.
Latter, when he entered the entertainment industry, his agent asked him to pick a stage name.
It was even suggested that a Taoist choose it for him.
It was an unwritten rule; it seemed that many who entered the entertainment industry, hoping to become superstars, would have masters name them, as if the name was crucial.
It was as if the fame relied entirely on the name, rather than on one’s own talent.
Gu Yixing tucked the meteorite into his chest, saying with a smile, "She is someone willing to pluck a star from the sky for me; how could I disappoint her? I don’t want to resort to those underhanded tactics anymore. I will earn their acknowledgement."
Upon entering the filming base, Gu Yixing sent a text message to Qin Xin.
The gist of the message was that he knew it was a trap, but he was willing to jump in, hoping that the brothers could cool off and apologize for his previous scoundrel behavior.
Receiving the message, Qin Xin felt a headache: "Take a look."
Cheng Guodong took over the phone, puzzled: "He knows it’s a trap we set, to lock him away from filming, preventing him from getting close to his sister; why would he still enter the trap?"
Qin Xin sighed: "Because he wants to see his sister’s reaction."
Cheng Guodong became even more bewildered: "What reaction from his sister?"
