Taking advantage of the still-open elevator doors, Su Yinwan quickly flashed a smile at Gu Yu, "What a coincidence, Mr. Gu, to meet you here."
Beside her, Ye Chu’s face stiffened, with a mix of confusion and jealousy.
Su Yinwan actually knew Gu Yu?!
Receiving Ye Chu’s gaze, Su Yinwan turned around with a bit of pride.
"What are you so surprised about, Sister Chu?"
"Are you and Young Master Gu very close?" Ye Chu asked with a sour tone.
"Of course," Su Yinwan said nonchalantly, "We spent so much time together on the island, and Mr. Gu is also Brother Shaojing’s maternal uncle. Naturally, I’m quite familiar with him."
Ye Chu clenched her fist slightly.
This Su Yinwan really has good fortune!
To lose Shang Shaojing, only to have Gu Yu show up!
And this Gu Yu was Gu Shengrong’s grandson, a man with a status and identity beyond the reach of ordinary people.
No wonder she was so confident!
After snorting coldly, Ye Chu walked away in her high heels, having embarrassed herself.
Having boasted triumphantly, Su Yinwan’s mood improved considerably. When she turned back, the elevator had already descended.
She quickly ran to the railing and looked down at the clusters of security guards and the man surrounded by them in the middle.
Just by greeting him briefly, she’d already reaped such benefits.
If she really got involved with him, would she need to worry about all these trivial matters?
Forget about magazine photo shoots, by then President Sun and the whole of Chen’an would probably have to pay heed to her!
Thinking this, Su Yinwan squinted her eyes and immediately charged down the escalator.
Upon hearing Su Yinwan’s voice, Zhao Lang was chatting with President Sun about something, and the noise from outside made him instinctively look up.
However, the elevator doors had closed, and he only caught a glimpse of the corner of the woman’s dress outside.
President Sun glanced at him and then outside, chuckled heartily, and said, "Young Master Gu knows her, eh? But of course, you did spend quite some time on the island together."
Zhao Lang didn’t know whom President Sun was talking about and didn’t care, just smiling in reply, "Thank you for the trouble with the endorsement, President Sun."
"What trouble is there? It’s Chang’an Media and my honor to be of help to Young Master Gu. If you have any other matters in the future, just have someone notify us. There’s no need for you to personally make an appearance."
"Since we’re going to cooperate with Chang’an, we naturally want to be sincere."
The elevator arrived at the first floor and opened again. President Sun stepped out first, holding the elevator door and gesturing for Gu Yu to exit.
"Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Mr. Gu. Once the contract is finalized, I’ll book a hotel to properly celebrate."
Gu Yu neither nodded nor shook his head, just smiled and stepped out.
President Sun courteously escorted him to the car, then turned and saw Su Yinwan, who had run down panting.
After all, she was the top actress under his company, even if her popularity had waned, and her reputation had taken a hit lately, she still had some utility.
At the very least, she could speak to Gu Yu.
Therefore, President Sun approached her amicably.
"Yinwan, did you come to the company even without a schedule today? You’ve worked hard."
Su Yinwan smiled, "It’s no trouble, I just came to coordinate some upcoming work."
As she spoke, she glanced at the departing business car and feigned curiosity, "Why did Mr. Gu come to Chen’an?"
President Sun walked toward the building but didn’t forget to look back and answer Su Yinwan’s question.
"They’re planning to develop Dragon Ridge Island into a tourist project and want to shoot a promotional video, looking for an endorsement from our company."
Su Yinwan’s heart stirred.
Her opportunity had arrived?
Shang Shaojing had just fallen into a slump when a Gu Yu appeared.
Surely, fate was showing her mercy, gifting her such an opportunity!
Su Yinwan immediately used her Divine Sense to consult the system.
"Can you help me check Gu Yu’s profile and affinity? I want to strategize for him!"
The system fell silent for a moment before speaking, "Sorry, Host, Gu Yu is not part of the main storyline, so his information cannot be checked."
Su Yinwan’s heart suddenly turned cold.
Unable to check his information?
Would that mean he couldn’t be strategized for?
But it wasn’t necessarily the case; the current plot had already deviated significantly from the original, and Gu Yu’s appearance must also be a byproduct of the storyline going off track.
Perhaps with a bit of effort, she could still change the current situation.
Su Yinwan took a deep breath and swiftly walked up to President Sun.
"President Sun, if that’s the case," she said, "doesn’t that mean Mr. Gu will often visit our Chen’an in the future? Why not let me take care of him? If someone else fails to understand his preferences and offends him, it might turn out to be disadvantageous for our Chen’an."
President Sun immediately saw through Su Yinwan’s intentions.
However, given her good looks and figure, plus her acquaintance with Gu Yu, it would be ideal for her to be the host; maybe Chang’an Media would even consider her for a spokesperson role.
"Of course, Yinwan, with your help, I can rest easy. I’ll have my secretary coordinate the process with you shortly."
"Thank you, President Sun."
Su Yinwan smiled as she escorted President Sun upstairs.
What she didn’t know was that Bai Lu had heard their entire conversation without missing a word.
She had just come out of the studio and was about to contact her agent when she overheard such a disgusting conversation.
Previously, she could tolerate Su Yinwan unreasonably taking her place as a guest on Flash Change, but now Su Yinwan was even daring to snatch away her idol’s man?
She would never allow such a thing to happen!
Bai Lu subconsciously reached for her phone to call Jiang Li.
Yet her fingertips hovered over the dial button, unable to press down.
No, Jiang Li had already done so much for her on the island; how could she bother him with something ?
It was time for her to take matters into her own hands!
Bai Lu took out her sunglasses from her bag, put them on, and quietly followed Su Yinwan.
Inside the business car, the director of Chang’an Media glanced timidly at Gu Yu, who sat opposite him, looking formal and imposing. After mustering courage for a long time, he finally dared not speak until Zhao Lang broke the silence,
"If you have something to say, say it."
"Young Master Gu..." The man adjusted his glasses, "Are we really going to cooperate with Chen’an? Although Chen’an is large in scale, you know their methods of cultivating artists. There aren’t many who fit our company’s image."
"Who said I want to cooperate with Chen’an?" Zhao Lang casually flipped through the documents on the table. "I just want to take this opportunity to probe their strengths and weaknesses to prepare for the next step of the acquisition."
The director’s eyes widened in shock, "You mean...?"
Zhao Lang didn’t speak; he just smiled.
Shang Shaojing still held a portion of Chen’an’s shares.
If he could acquire Chen’an, then that meant Shang Shaojing would have no chance of turning things around.
He hadn’t been keen on meddling in merchant family affairs, but how could he overlook a man who had once refused and humiliated Ah Li?
