When Lu Beichen went in, he seemed to be a regular and knew the place well .

“I want the private room inside,” he said as he pointed to the innermost room .
The private room was Japanese-styled . They entered, sat on the tatami, and he began ordering naturally .
Gu Jingze didn’t seem to mind whatever he ordered .
After the dishes were served, everyone began eating .
Gu Jingyan said, “It was really fun today . Sister-in-law, let’s come out and hang out next time . ”
“Yes . There’s no problem in asking Lin Che out . But Lin Che, don’t bring your husband anymore,” Lu Beichen grunted, still bearing a grudge on the recent event .
Gu Jingze said, “If you agree to a bet, you must accept the consequences . Why are you harping on it?”
“That’s because you used a dirty trick . ”
“This is a lesson for you . The business industry is full of backstabbers . If you can’t even fend off a little dirty trick from me, how are you going to support Jingyan?”
“Heh . Fine, fine . I’m not as experienced as you . After all, you’ve been in this industry for so many years and you’ve never had any failures . ” Talking about it, Lu Beichen really sympathized with his competitors . With such a fellow around, they must have really eaten plenty of dust .
Thankfully, the Lu family had always been close to the Gu family .
Lu Beichen also thought deep down that he must never stand on the opposing side of Gu Jingze .

Gu Jingyan said, “Alright . When we were little, we were played by Second Brother plenty of times . You just haven’t gotten used to it . It’ll be okay once you get used to it . ”
Gu Jingyan looked at Lin Che . “You have no idea . When we were young, we had a private tutor come to our home . In the end, Second Brother suggested that all four of us go out to play . He told Gu Jingyu to pretend to have a stomachache to lure the tutor out; it was like luring a tiger out from its cave . After that, the rest of us secretly ran out . Father later found out about it and when we returned, we saw Second Brother sitting obediently there and reading his book . It turns out that before he ran out, he already made an agreement with the security at the entrance . If Father returned, the security would tell him while he would not tell us . He was worried that if Father had nobody to scold, he would investigate the matter and find out that he was the mastermind . As a result, the three of us were punished to write essays while he escaped guilt-free . Sigh…”
Lin Che said, “Wow, you were so cunning…”
Gu Jingze continued eating graciously . “This is called ‘all’s fair in war’ . ”
Gu Jingyan wanted to say something, but her hand was scalded .
“Ouch…” She tossed the cup and instinctively moved backward .
Lu Beichen quickly threw down his chopsticks . “What happened to you… Oh my . I say, Gu Jingyan . You’re a grown-up already but you can still get scalded . Let me take a look . Where did you get scalded?”
Lu Beichen quickly looked at her hand . Seeing that it was red, he bent his head and blew at it . At the same time, he said, “Look at you . That’s why I say that you never know how to be more cautious . Your attention is always divided . Now, look at what happened . ”
“I scalded my hand and you’re still scolding me? Where is the love?”
“What’s the use of showing love to you?”
“Idiot, let go . I don’t need you to see . ”

“Hey, I’m already looking at it . Give your hand to me . Let me see it . ”
“Go away . I don’t need you to look . ”
“I insist on seeing . Let me see!”
Just then, the waiter hurried in .
Looking at the two of them struggling, he didn’t dare to speak .
It was only when the two of them stopped bickering that he said, “Mr . Lu, Mrs . Lu, here is some medication . We’re really sorry about it . We didn’t notice and accidentally scalded you . We will give you a fifty-percent discount off your bill today . ”
Lu Beichen heard this, looked up, and said, “It is your problem for scalding her, but the money doesn’t have to be discounted . It’s President Gu’s treat today . Heh heh . You don’t need to give us a discount later . It’s also alright if you want a little tip . ”
“…” The waiter really liked these wealthy people .
If they were other people, they would have flipped out long ago and demanded their meal to be free .
Not only did they not want a free meal, they even said such words .
Wealthy people were simply wealthy people .
Lin Che saw the two of them behave this way and thought that Lu Beichen actually cared about Gu Jingyan too . It was just that they were star-crossed lovers .

Neither of them gave in to each other and it couldn’t be helped .
This meal really did not cost any lesser . The four of them went home separately . Gu Jingze called for his chauffeur and let the two of them leave first .
Lin Che still needed to go back to work . She received a call from Yu Minmin, saying that there would be a star charity gala in a few days and hoped that she could attend .
Lin Che said that she would see how it goes .
After this trip, Lin Che already threw all her worries to the back of her head . The next day, she met up with Yu Minmin to discuss their next step .
After establishing their studio, they were preparing to see which celebrity was worth nurturing and they could work together . They didn’t just want to work on Lin Che as the only star . If they did that, their profits would be very limited . Yu Minmin asked Lin Che for her opinion before . Lin Che said, “If it is profitable, of course, we can . ”
Yu Minmin said, “I’m just asking because some stars hope to be the only one around so resources aren’t given to others . ”
Lin Che said, “I always believed that resources should be fought over among ourselves . If everyone worked together to snag resources outside, that would be more worthwhile . If I’m the only star around, then our style would only be set like this . The resources will also be more fixed and it won’t have a chance to increase . If we have more stars, wouldn’t it be different? We would have all kinds of resources that will help us grow together, right?”
Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che . “Not bad . You indeed have improved after hanging out with Gu Jingze . ”
“Well, I have a smart brain that I don’t usually use . That’s because I’m giving others a chance . Otherwise, you would say that I’m too smart and nobody else should have a chance . ”
“Alright, alright . Your head is already getting big just from one compliment . However, the Witch’s Diary is going to be filmed in some dangerous places . You have to be more careful . Your days are going to be very tough . ”
“It’s okay . I understand . Filming is a tough thing, to begin with . I don’t care how hard it’s going to be . Everyone is going through the same thing anyway . ”
“Sigh . ” Yu Minmin patted Lin Che’s shoulder . “Do you think that Dynamic Pictures is regretting their decision now? You’re such an obedient and understanding artist who is not afraid of hardship and they didn’t want you . They even wanted some Qin Wanwan who is such a troublesome artist . ”
“It’s okay . I will show them through my actions that I’m better off without them . ”
“That’s right,” Yu Minmin said . “Let’s work hard together . ”
The charity gala was organized by a very formidable fashion magazine called Weili .
This fashion magazine had always been highly regarded by many fashionistas who always believed that this magazine was the benchmark for fashion trends .
Thus, many stars also participated in their shoots .
Some big shots also became proud after appearing on the cover of the magazine . It was as if they were selected and it meant that they were fashionistas who could lead the fashion trends . It was as if their tastes in fashion were acknowledged .
However, Lin Che actually had never been selected for such a shooting .
It was probably because Lin Che was not really into fashion trends, so she hadn’t really been noticed .
Yu Minmin let Lin Che look at the itinerary and then told Lin Che in advance, “Oh right, I forgot to tell you . A few days ago, Qin Wanwan was featured on the cover . ”
