CHAPTER 38: SEEKING PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE SIZE

"Understood, understood, thank you, President Gu, for your guidance." Weng Lan quickly nodded in gratitude.

An agent signing an artist depends entirely on their conscience.

Weng Lan was an old hand, eager to make quick profits and do big things, her conscience had long been lost. She had always used contracts like this to control her artists, never expecting to bang her head against President Gu’s iron wall, truly a year of bad luck...

Gu Yuan glanced at Yi Shu: "You have something to say?"

Yi Shu was nervous: "I, I have something to discuss with Weng Lan."

Gu Yuan stood up and left the space for the two of them: "Then you two chat."

As soon as Gu Yuan left, Weng Lan’s legs, which had been striving to hold up, suddenly went soft, and she quickly called out: "Yi Shu, support me, Yi Shu, support me."

Yi Shu’s sharp eyes and swift hands supported Weng Lan.

He helped Weng Lan to sit on a chair, lowering his voice: "Of all the people you could mess with, why President Gu? But you’re lucky, President Gu was gracious enough not to hold it against you."

Weng Lan sat up straight, holding the back of the chair.

She looked up, glaring at Yi Shu with annoyance: "If you had told me earlier that the boss lady is someone I can’t afford to offend, would I have been this scared? I’ve never begged for anything in my life, now all I ask for is to recover from this mental trauma."

Initially, Weng Lan was thinking, a country girl who has never seen the world, wouldn’t even flinch under her strong attitude?

Now it seems, an upper-class person truly lives up to the title, the poise and magnitude are not something someone of her level can even aspire to.

"How was I supposed to know President Gu would be in Ancient Water Village, or that the farmhouse the program rented was hers?!" Yi Shu chuckled wryly: "I still haven’t digested this fact."

Remembering something important, Yi Shu quickly said: "Hurry, use your phone to call Li Yan, ask if she’s with Chi Yu."

...

Gu Yuan came out, just in time to bump into Lin Xijiang, who was about to enter.

Gu Yuan stepped aside: "You’re going in?"

"No, I’m not going in." He shook his head and casually made up a reasonable excuse: "I’m here to get a basket, to pick some cherry tomatoes in the yard."

Pause for a moment, he immediately added: "I did get the village chief’s permission."

Earlier, as soon as Weng Lan came, she wanted to talk to Yanyan, and they hadn’t come out. Lin Xijiang was planning to go in to see what was going on, but since she’s out, why would he still need to go in?!

Lin Xijiang went through the motions of grabbing the vegetable basket, and seeing Gu Yuan walking out, he naturally matched his pace to hers: "I’m Lin Xijiang."

Although Lin Xijiang often appeared on the big screen, he didn’t really expect Gu Yuan to know him, as long as she remembered seeing him last night, that would be enough.

Gu Yuan responded with a sound: "Hmm."

Lin Xijiang felt a bit disheartened inside, from her tone she obviously forgot they met last night.

He quickly steadied himself, then said: "I heard the village chief call you Yanyan?"

Gu Yuan still responded: "Hmm."

After responding, Gu Yuan suddenly recalled something, she stopped and turned to Lin Xijiang: "Were you the one who lent me clothes last night?"

Lin Xijiang’s heart leapt for joy, she had finally remembered him.

He thought she did not remember him at all.

"Yes, that was me." Lin Xijiang replied, and then took the initiative to ask: "You got caught in that heavy rain last night, did you catch a cold?"

This was just to find something to talk about, Lin Xijiang could tell she was in good shape, but having just formally met, this was the only topic he could think of.

Gu Yuan shook her head: "No cold, thanks for your concern." Thinking about the coat from last night, she said to Lin Xijiang: "The coat is washed and hanging to dry, it’s not dry yet. I’ll return it to you once it’s dry."
