In the apartment, Gu Chu yawned and slowly closed her computer.
Gu Chu scratched her messy hair and twisted her neck. Her eyelids drooped as she fell back into the soft and warm bed and continued to dream her sweet dreams.
Little did she know that her heaven-defying operation in just ten minutes had caused a sensation all over the world.
The next day, Gu Manxi dragged Gu Chu out of her bed while she was still sleeping. She fed her medicine and breakfast, then let Gu Chu go back to sleep.
Gu Chu only slowly got out of bed when it was already late in the morning. Ever since she entered the little girl’s body, she had unknowingly inherited the child’s habit of being addicted to sleeping and eating. Gu Chu put on her little coat and went downstairs to look for Manxi.
Gu Manxi was not around, so she left a note saying that she had to shoot an ad at the last minute.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no adults in the apartment, Gu Chu’s big eyes darted around slyly and sneakily ran to the fridge. She opened the fridge door and saw —
Damn it, not even a single ice cream was left!
Gu Chu covered her face.
Mommy was so ruthless.
…
At Song Entertainment, the makeup artist had just finished putting on makeup for Gu Manxi. The makeup artist smiled and praised, “Miss Gu, your skin is really good. You don’t even need to put on makeup to appear in public.”
Gu Manxi said gently, “Thank you for the compliment.”
This was also the first time the makeup artist had seen Gu Manxi today. She was secretly amazed. She was already quite famous in the entertainment industry. Usually, a famous female celebrity would have a rather arrogant temper and would always order her employees around.
However, this Miss Gu had always had a gentle and kind appearance. She was respectful to others, and her tone was modest. She did not have the airs of a celebrity at all. The makeup artist could not help but think of Cao Yuezhi, who had already changed to Wang Entertainment. Compared to the picky Cao Yuezhi, this Miss Gu was really an angel-like existence.
And this face, without any cosmetic adjustments, was still beautiful and moving even when she didn’t wear any makeup.
In the entertainment circle where cosmetic surgery was popular, Gu Manxi was unique.
“Manxi, these are the script lines for the next cosmetic advertisement.” The door to the dressing room opened, and a manager in a professional suit, Lisa, walked in.
Lisa was now Gu Manxi’s manager. Song Chen had personally arranged it.
Lisa used to be Cao Yuezhi’s manager. Her ability was outstanding. Her ability to pick scripts and snatch resources was top-notch. For Cao Yuezhi, an A-list actress, to be able to become a famous movie queen, Lisa had played an important role.
Gu Manxi took the script and concentrated on reading and reciting.
Lisa watched from the side. There was still no extra expression on her face, as if she was just a working machine performing her duties.
Lisa always maintained a distant and polite attitude towards Gu Manxi. Even when Gu Manxi was filming in Lu Shanhe’s crew, Lisa did not go to the scene to watch. Being Gu Manxi’s manager was purely giving face to President Song.
Lisa liked artists who worked hard and made progress, not Gu Manxi who had connections with President song. Moreover, Lisa really did not like Gu Manxi’s “gentle” and “kind” character in private.
She was too gentle and always had a delicate and quiet appearance.
She was too kind and polite to every employee.
She was like a perfect doll.
Lisa narrowed her eyes. She had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and Lisa thought that Gu Manxi was “pretending”. How could there be a kind and beautiful female star in the entertainment industry? In the entertainment industry, everyone was a wolf in sheep’s clothing, abandoning their self-esteem and pride in order to become famous.
To be able to take down a big shot like Song Chen, to be able to squeeze out the best actress Cao Yuezhi, how could Gu Manxi be a simple woman?
“Alright, follow me to the studio to shoot the advertisement,” Lisa said in a formal manner.
