Chapter 775 Collaboration
Gu Rong said, “I appreciate his talent but is that a really viable career choice for life is what I often wonder.”
Chyou chuckled. “Then you can stop worrying, Uncle. Stories make the world go around whether through books, music, art or films. Yating, with his talent, will definitely go very far.”
“I see.” 𝘳.𝑐ℴ
Yating slowly pulled the chair and took his seat while asking the burning question through his gaze itself.
What are they doing here?
Gu Rong sneakily narrowed his eyes back at him as if asking his own question, which Yating didn’t understand.
What is he getting mad at me for?
He left the question at that and pleasantly smiled at Xiaosi. “How are you doing, Mr. Zhu?”
“As long as my family is well, I always do great, which they are so I am very happy.”
“Cool.”
Chyou waited and then flared her nostrils. “How come you didn’t ask me how I am doing?”
Yating blinked at her. “We just met at the set this morning and I left in the afternoon.”
“Exactly. It was this afternoon and now it’s evening. Anybody’s mental state can change within these few hours, you know? What if I am not happy anymore?” she pouted.
“Are you not?”
“No. I am very happy because I am very hungry and this hotel’s food is great so I am looking forward to the dinner, for which we will be splitting the bill, but I won’t mind if you pay all of it~” she stuck out her tongue and grinned.
“There you are. All happy and bubbly.”
“You should still ask,” she sincerely pointed out.
He smiled. “I will be sure to take an update every hour from next time and that means…” he looked at the time and said, “I will ask you again at 9.06 PM.”
Chyou burst into laughter that dissolved the faint, invisible tension mood hanging between Gu Rong and Yating. It made a chuckle escape his lips too.
Xiaosi eyed them and smiled. “You two get along well.”
“He is funny,” Chyou chirped. “And he gives me cool gifts. I showed you this pendant, right?”
The silvery gleaming Q pendant sparkles in the lights.
“That is indeed very pretty and thoughtful. “Caihong and Chyou couldn’t stop talking about it the whole time.”
Yating smiled, embarrassed. “Thanks.”
Gu Rong, who was watching the exchange in silence, quietly raised his brow. He then said after some jokes and laughter passed. “Well, you two must be wondering why we are gathered here today.”
Chyou asked, unfiltered. “Is this a marriage meeting?”
Yating choked on the water he was drinking. It was that very question which made him salty about this evening and Gu Rong.
Gu Rong sadly smiled. “I wish it was dear. I would really love you to become my daughter-in-law.”
Chyou seriously nodded. “I am too cute to resist, I understand. But you already know about Cheng Yin and me. The whole world does.”
“Cheng Yin might be nice but please don’t get offended if I say that my son is nicer, more handsome and more capable,” he nodded.
“Dad, stop.”
“Is there really no way for you to consider him? Trust me. He will keep you very happy.”
“Dad!” He now openly glared at him. “Stop making things awkward.” 𝘳.𝑐ℴ
“You should be the one fighting here instead of me so at least show me a little gratitude!” Gu Rong glowered.
“Now, now,” Xiaosi intervened with a smile. “I am sure we will get to talk about that in length later.”
Gu Rong stiffened and felt ashamed at his lack of self-control. “My apologies for showing my embarrassing side.”
“It’s not embarrassing at all, Mr. Gu. You really adore your son very much. I am a father too. I can tell.”
Yating stared at Gu Rong.
He adores me? How come I never felt that?
Xiaosi read his questioning and judgemental gaze towards his father like an open book and smiled. “Adoration and love is sometimes very silent, Yating.”
He then directed his gaze at Gu Rong. “But to you too, Mr. Gu. You can consider being a little vocal about your thoughts. Things are not understood when they are only kept in your heart.”
“He is always very vocal,” Yating said in a deadpan voice.
Xiaosi looked at him with a somber smile. “He isn’t. Not even 1/10th of what he is actually supposed to be saying. Right, Mr. Gu?”
Gu Rong shifted uncomfortably in his seat. His expression marred with tension and slight panic.
Yating furrowed his brows. “…You okay, Dad?”
“I am fine,” he cleared his throat, “Guess we went too off-topic there. Coming back to the main conversation and the reason behind this dinner, Mr. Zhu and I are collaborating for a project, and we would like Chyou and Yating, the next generation, to become the frontrunners for the brand promotion. You know, like advertisements, commercials, magazine photoshoots?”
Xiaosi nodded. “Yating and Chyou are already well-established in their respective fields so we concluded that it would be an explosive marketing strategy if you two work together.”
Chyou brightened like the morning star. “Awesome!”
Yating had the very opposite expression. “What? I am fine with interviews and all but photoshoots and ads? I cannot do that really…? I am not a model.”
She raised her hand. “I will teach you! It’s not a movie. Ads are just for a few minutes. The filming is not so hard. And well photoshoots you know. You just have to pose, that’s all.”
“You make it sound very easy just like helping with the script,” he helplessly shook his head.
“Because it IS easy and why fear when the Queen is here~”
“But why not hire a professional model? I am just gonna goof up, I can tell,” he scratched his head and coughed.
Gu Rong grimaced. “Is that model my son or you?”
Chyou laughed. “Goofing up is even more great. It will become a part of bloopers which we will specially release later for entertainment~” she winked.
“…”
“So you will be making me a clown?” he raised his brow, amused.
“Everybody makes mistakes. Better to openly laugh at them and enjoy laughing with others. Spread happiness and positivity~ You should see some of my bloopers I do on set. You won’t have a stomach left anymore because it will be dead by too much laughing ahahaha!”
