Everybody was happy with the good viewership and nobody cared about whether Qin Wanwan apologized or not . As it was getting late, Lin Che prepared to head home .
Everybody filed out and bid farewell to Lin Che . The following activities were going to be intense and they were only just starting to get busy .
When she got home, Gu Jingze was still not back yet . Lin Che guessed that Gu Jingze was also busy because it was the end of the year . Thus, she rested in the bedroom and scrolled through Weibo comments while she prepared to sleep .
Gu Jingyu joined in the commotion and sent a Wechat message to Lin Che saying, "Not bad . I saw that the viewer rating was acceptable . You can graduate now . Even without me as your Master, you can be a good performer . "
Lin Che replied speechlessly to Gu Jingyu, "Yes, thank you, Master, for your guidance all this time . I'm thankful for you…"
"If you're really thankful, treat me out for a meal some time . There's no point in merely paying lip service . "
Lin Che saw Gu Jingyu's reply and thought that it was strange . She asked Gu Jingyu, "It's going to be New Years soon . Aren't you going back home to celebrate?"
Gu Jingyu asked, "How do you know I'm not going back?"
"I don't know . I'm just asking . "
"I haven't gone back for a few years . I don't have this habit," Gu Jingyu said .
Lin Che asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

"Because I'm not on good terms with my family . Haven't you heard of rebellious people? I'm one of them . What's wrong?"
"Did something happen between you and your family that made your relationship bad?" Lin Che asked .
"You're so concerned with my affairs . Should I be flattered?" Gu Jingyu started to become thick-skinned again .
Lin Che said, "A disciple should be concerned about her Master!"
"Fine, I just knew that I didn't have a place in your heart!" he remarked coquettishly and then continued . "Something happened many years ago . It wasn't a big thing, but I'm still not used to going back . Maybe in a few years when it doesn't really matter anymore, I'll go back . Maybe then, things will be okay . "
Lin Che held her phone and looked at the string of texts . Her heart grew more curious but if she really probed, she would feel like she was going overboard in finding out the Gu family's affairs . Thus, even if she was curious about Gu Jingyu's relationship with the Gu family, she never asked Gu Jingze about it . She didn't want to be too nosey .
Seeing Gu Jingyu say all this, she gained the courage to reply, "Don't tell me that it has something to do with women? Hehehe . "
Gu Jingyu didn't reply for a long time . When Lin Che thought that he stopped replying, Gu Jingyu suddenly texted, "But of course . This young master is a romantic!"
He wasn't serious .
However, Lin Che held her phone and wondered if it was really because of women .
It would be so unexpected for Gu Jingyu to be this stubborn . Did he really stop contacting his family because of women?

However, he was actually rather influential in his own field . Naturally, given the Gu family's environment, all of their three sons were outstanding .
Lin Che thought that Mu Wanqing must be pleased .
Even so, what Gu Jingyu said was right . What she had today had everything to do with Gu Jingyu's care . She should indeed treat him to a meal .
The next day, the viewership continued to climb . The company's CEO personally called Lin Che to congratulate her and invite her to attend the company's annual meeting .
Lin Che heard this and immediately agreed . She happily thanked the CEO for his appreciation .
After they hung up, Lin Che was still in bliss .
Beside her, Gu Jingze watched it all and couldn't help but laugh, "Why are you so happy?"
Lin Che lied down and said to Gu Jingze, "Of course I'm happy . The CEO personally called me and invited me to the company's annual meeting . "
"And then?" Gu Jingze said disapprovingly .
"Only the very popular stars are invited to our company's annual meeting . Our company may not seem like a big deal to you but it is a strong contender in our sector . It raised many big stars . Thus, there are plenty of celebrities in our company . This is the first time I got invited to this meeting and I even got a personal invitation from the CEO . "

Lin Che was so elated that she started humming a tune .
Gu Jingze looked at her . He saw how happy she was and he helplessly shook his head .
Her company still did not know about Lin Che and Gu Jingze's relationship . It was indeed not easy for her to progress this far on her own .
Although Gu Jingze did help her get an opportunity at the beginning, if she truly wasn't capable, she wouldn't have become popular either .
She had many likable traits and she was always her true self . It was never an act .
Gu Jingze said, "With your intelligence, it's indeed not easy for you to be where you are today . "
"Hey! I rely on my abilities . My abilities, you understand?"
"That's right . So you see, Heaven is still fair . Your intelligence is limited but luckily, you scored full marks in body and face . That's why you're able to act . "
"Bastard! Can't you praise me properly?" Lin Che jumped up in anger .
Gu Jingze said, "Okay, okay . Don't jump about . Am I not praising you now? You're so demanding . You need to be humble . Humble, get it? Why do you need to be praised for no reason?"
Gu Jingze got up and headed out . He suddenly remembered something and turned around to say, "We need to go back to the Gu family for New Year's . You better not let your work clash with the date . "
"Oh . Don't worry . I have nothing on for those few days . "
Lin Che smiled cheekily and called Yu Minmin . She happily told her that she was going to attend the annual meeting and that CEO Chen even called her to congratulate her .
Yu Minmin was naturally very happy for her .
"Time for a treat! No point saying anything else . Just treat me will you?" Yu Minmin said .
"Okay, I'll treat you guys . Get ready and invite everybody I know to come . I'll treat all of you to a meal . "
Lin Che was feeling happy as she generously gave her word .
Gu Jingze knew of the situation and immediately helped her make reservations . He quickly let his men help her prepare .
Before it got busy at the start of the year, Lin Che gathered Yu Minmin and Shen Youran as well as some colleagues . They quickly reached the restaurant .
When Lin Che arrived, she was impressed by Gu Jingze's restaurant choice . This was the city's most famous Japanese restaurant . It was said that the sashimi was flown in from Japan daily . It was extremely fresh .
At the entrance, she saw that Qin Hao was there . He looked at Lin Che and quickly bowed politely to greet her .
Lin Che walked over and said, "Don't tell me you helped make reservations for me today, Assistant Qin?"
Qin Hao quickly said, "But of course . Sir specially requested for me to oversee things here . Madam's matters are certainly of the utmost importance to Sir . "
Just then, Shen Youran also came in from behind . She saw Qin Hao and hastily went over to greet him, "Assistant Qin, why are you standing here? Why don't you go in for a cup of tea? Hehehe . "
