Chapter 1123 Xingyu's wish: Only I care
"Brother, look at the data trend of our drama. The preheating effect in the early stage is quite good. If it continues to develop at this rate, the follow-up potential will be unlimited."
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Gu Yunqian's expression from the corner of his eye. Seeing that he looked sideways, as if he was listening, he skillfully led the topic to his wife and children, with a flattering smile on his face, and continued: "Everyone knows how much you value family, brother. Isn't this drama a true portrayal of your life? The audience will definitely be able to feel this strong family affection, and it will definitely be a big hit."
However, even though Han Zhiyuan tried so hard, Gu Yunqian's face was still very gloomy, like the sky before a storm, dark and gloomy, without any sign of easing. He still had a cold face, and from beginning to end he didn't even give Han Zhiyuan a spare glance, as if she was air.
Seeing this, Han Zhiyuan felt a surge of grievance in her heart. Even though she had previously had a filter of respect and closeness towards Gu Yunqian, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes at this moment.
She was full of grievances and doubts. She really didn't understand why Gu Yunqian was so angry and why he was so cold to her for no reason. She thought to herself, "Is it because I kept it a secret from him and worked as a screenwriter under him without even saying hello? I didn't do anything wrong. I just wanted to learn more skills from my senior brother."
As he thought about it, tears as big as beans soon filled his eyes and he could no longer hold them back. The clear and intermittent sound of his sniffling echoed in every corner of the office, standing out in the silent space.
Listening to this series of noises, Gu Yunqian frowned tightly, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows were so deep that they seemed to be able to pinch a fly to death.
He was already upset, and Han Zhiyuan's crying gave him an even bigger headache.
After a long time, he impatiently took out a tissue and handed it to the other person. He opened his lips, wanting to say something but stopped. Finally, he found that he couldn't say anything to comfort her. He just said stiffly, "I still have things to do," and asked Han Zhiyuan to leave like a child.
After the office returned to silence, Gu Yunqian's eyes were like those attracted by a magnet, staring at the data of the two dramas on the computer screen, with a hint of anxiety and contemplation in his eyes.
His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past. He thought about when he was investigating Su Xingya's identity, he encountered many obstacles. It was Han Zhiyuan who came to his aid and used her superb hacking skills to help him solve the problems of the black box and surveillance.
If he only relied on his own connections and abilities, it would be impossible to resolve the issue so quickly.
It was precisely because Han Zhiyuan knew some of his unknown private details that he felt inexplicably angry at her in his heart just now.
In the final analysis, it was nothing but the words "ex-husband and uncle" in the title of the drama "Deep Temptation, Ex-husband and Uncle is Flirtatious and Wild" were like sharp thorns that severely stimulated his sensitive nerves.
However, as he got to know the plot more deeply, Gu Yunqian felt more and more uneasy.
He discovered that what stimulated him was far more than just a title. Even the ups and downs of the emotional entanglements in the plot and the ambiguous interactions between the hero and heroine made him unconsciously put himself in the role of the "ex-husband", and a feeling of bitterness and unwillingness welled up in his heart.
Only then did he realize that Xiao Mo had made a good move this time. Maybe he would know that the company's screenwriter was his junior sister before he did!
Is this considered a form of sowing discord?
On the other side, Han Zhiyuan walked out of the office in a daze. Her feet felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. She didn't walk far before finding an empty corner nearby and slowly squatted down.
She buried her head deeply between her knees, her frail body trembling slightly. The cry that had been suppressed for so long burst out like a flood. However, out of consideration for others, she endured it a little. She looked like a woman who had been heartbroken by a scumbag, full of grievance and unwillingness.
"What have I done wrong?" This question lingered in Han Zhiyuan's mind like a ghost, echoing over and over again, tormenting her unbearably.
Even though she later suppressed her grief, calmed down and left the company, this question still followed her like a shadow, pestering her.
Han Zhiyuan really couldn't let it go, so she simply gave herself a few days off, trying to find a little peace in her time alone. However, during those days, her mind was always occupied by the reason why Gu Yunqian was angry. She replayed the scene of that day over and over again, not missing any details.
She even picked out the details of the plots of the two dramas frame by frame. She didn't know how many times she pressed the space bar. Every pause seemed to allow her to see the hard work that the screenwriter and director poured into it, and feel their persistence in carefully crafting their works.
The performances of the actors in both dramas are amazing. Both the male and female protagonists shine in the dramas and interpret their characters to the fullest.
She really couldn't understand why Gu Yunqian was not satisfied with such a great work. This question was like a mystery, which kept getting tighter and tighter in her mind.
Until that day, when the company was preparing for a team-building event, this sudden activity was like a ray of hope, allowing Han Zhiyuan to vaguely see hope of solving the mystery.
It turned out that both dramas became popular after they were broadcast. Gu Yunqian and Xiao Mo's first collaboration was a success with remarkable results.
When Lao Mo learned that his son and his partners had achieved such outstanding results, he could not contain his joy. He waved his hand and decided to invite all employees to participate in team building, from senior leaders to actors, directors, post-production staff, and screenwriters like Han Zhiyuan, without exception.
The moment Han Zhiyuan received the invitation, she made up her mind - she must take this opportunity to clarify the doubts in her heart.
She knew that this kind of occasion was different from the casual ones in the past, and she could not go out without makeup like usual. For the first time, she carefully selected a plain white dress, the white skirt was as soft as clouds, which made her look more elegant and refined.
She faced the mirror and simply applied some foundation to her face to cover up the fatigue left by staying up late, and then chose a lip color that was close to her skin tone, which just added a bit of color to her face.
After dressing up, Han Zhiyuan seemed to be reborn, showing the elegant temperament of the daughter of the Han family.
But when she arrived at the team-building location with great anticipation, the scene before her made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Gu Yunqian was seen holding Su Xingya's hand affectionately, with an upright posture and elegant demeanor, moving among the important figures, chatting and laughing, with a smile on his face as bright as the warm spring sun, completely different from the way he had given her the cold shoulder in the office before.
Han Zhiyuan's expression froze instantly, as if she was under a spell. The arc of her mouth that was originally raised froze in mid-air, and her heart was filled with only self-mockery.
Maybe others have already forgotten what happened that day, and I am the only one who is still sitting here and thinking about it, like a clown. It's really ridiculous!
Han Zhiyuan thought bitterly in her heart, her eyes slightly red. She took a deep breath, straightened her back, and tried to swallow the bitterness in her heart, but the discomfort was like a lump in her throat, and she couldn't get rid of it...
