She said respectfully, “Thank you, Director Lu, for giving me the chance. I won’t let you down. P-Please give me the screenplay first. I’ll go home and study my acting. I’ll come for an audition tomorrow.”
“Very good. Follow me. I’ll tell you about the plot and some of the characters.” Lu Shanhe smiled. “You don’t have to think of it as acting. You just need to show your original state.”
“Yes, yes. Thank you, Director Lu! I’ll work hard!”
Gu Chu and Jiang Cheng watched the two of them leave.
Gu Chu’s eyes were dark. She felt that Zhao Manshi seemed to be different from what was described in the original novel.
Yes, I’ll continue to observe in secret.
If this woman dares to lay her hands on my mommy, I’ll make her regret it.
If this woman changes her mind and starts a new life, I can reluctantly accept it.
“Chuchu.” Gu Chu was in a daze when she suddenly heard Jiang Cheng’s deep voice. Gu Chu raised her small head and blinked. “Uncle Jiang Cheng, what’s the matter?”
Jiang Cheng saw that there was no one around, so he half-squatted down. A handsome face appeared in Gu Chu’s line of sight. Jiang Cheng said, “Chuchu, does your mother prefer Uncle Lu or Uncle song?”
Gu Chu asked, “What?”
Jiang Cheng asked, “Between Uncle Lu and Uncle Song, who does your mother like more? I’m just curious.”
Gu Chu was speechless. I’ve already seen through your thoughts.
Gu Chu did not answer directly. Instead, she changed the topic. “Mommy said that Uncle Lu and Uncle Song are both good people. Maybe Mommy likes them both.”
Jiang Cheng lowered his eyes and did not say anything. He only rubbed Gu Chu’s furry little head.
Jiang Cheng secretly planned to remind Song Chen to speed up his pursuit of his wife. Also, Manxi had been enjoying orange juice recently, so he should tell Song Chen to send a truck over to woo her.
That’s right, Jiang Cheng was actually Song Chen’s “spy” on the set.
Jiang Cheng was the male lead, while Gu Manxi was the female lead. The two usually spent a lot of time together. Jiang Cheng secretly observed Gu Manxi’s personal preferences and daily life, and secretly gathered information to send to Song Chen.
Jiang Cheng sincerely wished:
He wished President Song to win over Manxi as soon as possible so that the lovers would eventually get married.
He wished Lu Shanhe and Gu Manxi will become siblings instead of lovers because this wasn’t Alabama.

Capital, Zhao family.
After Zhao Manshi returned from Hengdian, she was in a good mood.
“Manshi, what good things happened today?” At night, Tang Chunxiu elegantly leaned on the sofa, put down the flower arranging tools in her hands, and looked at her precious daughter with gentle eyes.
Zhao Manshi smiled charmingly. “Mom, I went to Director Lu’s production team today. Director Lu has taken a fancy to me and invited me to be the second female lead in the movie.”
Tang Chunxiu raised her eyebrows and said gently, “This is a good thing. You’re outstanding and will definitely become a popular movie star in the future. You’ll bring honor to us all and earn yourself a good husband.”
Tang Chunxiu did not object to Zhao Manshi entering the entertainment industry.
On the contrary, Tang Chunxiu encouraged Zhao Manshi to show her beauty and talent to the world. Zhao Manshi was the work that Tang Chunxiu was most proud of. She was not as rebellious as Zhao Yan and not as disobedient as Gu Manxi. Zhao Manshi was young, beautiful, talented, and had the demeanor of a lady. Many influential people in the capital revealed their intention to marry into the Zhao family.
However, Tang Chunxiu was not in a hurry. She wanted her daughter’s status to go up and marry into a real noble family.
With her place in the entertainment industry and the Zhao family’s background, Zhao Manshi would definitely become a superstar in the capital’s circle.
When that time came, Song Chen, Cheng Kaiyuan, the Lu family, and the Wang family would provide them with many suitors.
