The sound of Gu Jingze’s name made Lin Che who was just stuffing her mouth with food instantly spit everything out .
The person beside her was shocked . Seeing Lin Che gasp heavily, they quickly asked, “What happened? What happened? Lin Che, did you choke?”
They quickly gave Lin Che water and she gulped it down .
She slowly calmed down .
What was Gu Jingze doing here out of the blue?
Lin Che looked up and saw that the crew was still looking at her . She quickly said, “It’s fine, it’s fine . I accidentally choked . ”
Only Yang Lingxin who was at the side changed her expression as she watched Lin Che .
But Gu Jingze was already walking in .
They could see that he was also here to have dinner with others . He wouldn’t usually come to such places, right? No . He usually wouldn’t even entertain clients with dinners .
He had never done things like dine with clients and entertain them .
So why did he suddenly show up here today?
At this moment, the people around the table started to talk among themselves .
“That must be Gu Jingze . ”
“He looks so poised . ”
“But I heard that he has twelve top-notch bodyguards under his hand . Why aren’t they here with him today?”
“We’re quite lucky today, aren’t we? It’s our first gathering and we actually bumped into Gu Jingze . ”
Just then, as Gu Jingze walked up along the stairs, his eyes fell directly on them .
His gaze accurately and unmistakably landed on Lin Che .
Lin Che almost fell . She quickly propped herself up against the table . She gazed back at him and squinted at him .
What was he doing here? Why didn’t he give a heads up?
Now, she couldn’t overcome her surprise .
When she looked at him, her head felt giddy .
“Hey, why is Gu Jingze looking over here?”
“He’s definitely not looking at us . ”
“Exactly . If he wanted to, he must be looking at Lin Che . ”
“Well, Lin Che is so pretty . ”
He was really looking at her .
Lin Che’s thoughts ran in her head . She blushed and said, “Alright, alright, don’t talk nonsense . There’s nothing good to see about him . Eat **** . ”
The people at the table said, “Why not? That is the wealthiest person in C Nation . It’s a rare sight!”
“Exactly exactly . You have Situ Qiong so you don’t care, but we’ve never seen how a wealthy person looked like . ”
“…” There was nothing else she could say .
Nevermind, let them stare for all they want . She was not going to care .
Thankfully, Gu Jingze and his gang very quickly disappeared upstairs .
After Gu Jingze left, everyone seemed to still be in shock and were chatting nonstop . However, their voices gradually grew quiet .
Lin Che heaved a sigh of relief and then heard her phone vibrate .
She immediately had a bad feeling . When she took out her phone to see…
It was indeed from Gu Jingze .
It was a simple message, “Have a good dinner . Don’t let your mind wander . ”
Lin Che replied to him exasperatedly, “Who asked you to come?! You didn’t even tell me!”
Within a second, her phone chimed again .
This time, it was a phone call .
Looking at the words on the screen, she hastily smiled to the rest, “It’s a call from the company . You guys go ahead; I need to answer this . ”
After that, she ran to the back, made sure that there was no one around, and picked up the phone .
“Boss, what are you doing?!”
“I only thought about it when you mentioned it . I indeed forgot to tell you . It’s my bad and that’s why I’m telling you right now . ”
He was definitely playing with her . What was the point of telling her now? What was the point?
“Y-Y-You… Why are you here?”
“To eat . ”
“Why did you come all the way here to eat?”
“It was just nice that someone invited me to dinner . I recalled that you were also here, so I thought that I might as well come . ”
Fine . A big CEO was really so casual .
Lin Che said, “Forget it, forget it . Go eat your dinner and I’ll eat mine . We shall not disturb each other . ”
“Okay, enjoy your dinner and recharge yourself . Later…”
Later what?
Lin Che grew cautious and had a feeling that he had something up his sleeves .
“Later, I’ll wait for you upstairs . ”
What? “Why would you wait for me upstairs?!”
Gu Jingze said, “Room number 1088 . ”
After that, he hung up .
Lin Che froze and didn’t react for a long time .
When she finally understood what he meant, she was speechless .
He… wanted to…
Was he mad? They had such a big house, but he came to the hotel…
But…
It was rather crazy, but also… rather exciting .
Lin Che blushed . Thinking of how Gu Jingze was upstairs having dinner, she somehow could not calm her heart down .
When she returned to her seat, she was radiating . The rest who looked at her asked, “Lin Che, was that from the company? Why do you look so radiant?”
Lin Che speechlessly said, “How am I radiant? Go go go . Go eat your dinner . ”
Everybody laughed and didn’t pry in the artist’s personal life . They knew that all these celebrities wanted to enjoy the glory on stage and face their own personal affairs at the same time . Otherwise, a small matter just like the contract termination issue would blow up beyond control .
Thus, artistes were all very cautious when it came to their privacy .
As for the crew who knew that many artists were very secretive, they also had their traditions . One of them was that they absolutely would not leak any private information about the artist to the public . Otherwise, they would be breaking the rules of the industry .
This was also considered one of the rules in the industry .
After a while, everyone had quite a bit to drink and were more open in their conversation .
The director looked at Lin Che and said, “Lin Che, your acting skills are really very good . You are much better than Qin Wanwan . You both are very similar and she is not bad looking, but her acting skills can’t match up to yours . ”
Lin Che didn’t know what to say and could only listen quietly .
The director said, “I wanted to pick you that day, but it’s a pity that your company stopped me . Now, it is all good . We are still destined to work together in the end . It looks like this is Heaven’s will . Although there were some obstacles, this role was destined to be yours . ”
Lin Che smiled, “I’m also very honored . ”
“No, no . Your love for this little novel will definitely make you portray the character better . We have great faith in you . ”
“Thank you all for trusting me . ”
As they chatted, it was already getting late .
Lin Che was worried that Gu Jingze would become anxious .
She took out her phone and secretly sent him a message to say that she would be a little late .
Upstairs, Gu Jingze finished his dinner long ago and was waiting for her . He read his book and sat there, looking at the night scene below .
Not long after, there was a knock on the door .
He smiled and walked over .
However, when he opened the door, his eyes narrowed .
The woman in front of his eyes was not Lin Che .
Gu Jingze looked at Yang Lingxin in front of him .
“You?”
Yang Lingxin looked at Gu Jingze passionately .
