Chapter 166: The Female Lead is Decided, It’s Gu Zhi, Didn’t You Know?

Chapter 166: Chapter 166: The Female Lead is Decided, It’s Gu Zhi, Didn’t You Know?

Gu Zhi heard this and was utterly baffled, even a little disgusted.

Is he sick?

"Have you said enough?" Gu Zhi couldn’t bear it any longer and interrupted, unable to hold back a scoff, "You’re pretty average, yet you’re quite confident."

Qi Yunlin’s face stiffened, "What do you mean?"

"You wouldn’t seriously think I really want to be with you, and took my previous words seriously?"

Qi Yunlin’s face looked even worse, as if something had stung his heart, "Isn’t that the case? Didn’t you repeatedly say you wanted to marry me? You are the Gu Family’s heiress, you..."

"That’s because you’re the young master of the Qi Family. Without that status, what are you worth?" Gu Zhi suspected it was something the original character might have said and spoke mercilessly, "Do you think any woman who likes someone would let him lose so much face in front of the camera?"

"Director Qi, wasn’t the embarrassment on the show enough?"

Qi Yunlin was taken aback, and when he heard this, his expression looked as if he had been publicly slapped.

Indeed, all the embarrassment he faced on the show was because of her!

She even showed more mercy to Sun Chaohua and Han Liheng than to him!

Just because he didn’t accept her, she would seek revenge like this!?

Qi Yunlin’s face darkened as he clenched his teeth and warned, "Gu Zhi, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear those words. You better not say them again, I’ll reconsider our..."

"Don’t," Gu Zhi coldly interrupted, unable to stand it, frowning at him, "Remember these words clearly, and don’t waste my time with nonsense again."

"Gu Zhi, you—"

"Get out." Gu Zhi interrupted impatiently, turning away directly.

Qi Yunlin was filled with frustration; this woman must be crazy. He gave her a chance, and she blew it!

She doesn’t like him? What reason does she have not to like him?

It’s just a facade to save face after failing to get what she wanted.

Thinking this way, Qi Yunlin trembled with anger, glaring at Gu Zhi’s back with even greater fury.

He seemed like he wanted to say something, but heard footsteps approaching from outside the door.

Qi Yunlin frowned, ultimately saying nothing, casting a glare at Gu Zhi in anger before turning to leave.

If she misses out on him, she will regret it. Which man around her can compare to him?

He is the young master of the Qi Family, certainly better than those actors outside.

Qi Yunlin walked out with a sullen face, only to unexpectedly encounter a tall figure.

He was startled, quickly gathering himself, his thin lips moved slightly as he softly called out, "Uncle?"

Qi Hanyu was wearing a dark shirt, exuding a natural aura of authority.

He glanced at the dressing room behind, frowning slightly, "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for someone," Qi Yunlin pressed his lips, suddenly thinking of something, staring at him with some reluctance, "By the way, Uncle, I came to discuss a film role with Director Tang. He is planning a new film but didn’t inform me. There should be an assistant director position for me..."

This film is being prepared by Shiyu Film and Television and invested in by the Qi Group, so he should be involved?

He has been working with Tang Jin since graduation and has gained some reputation. This is the first time Tang Jin isn’t taking him...

Qi Hanyu’s gaze darkened, the pressure more intense, "If it’s about filming, you should talk to Director Tang. Moreover, if he didn’t take you, isn’t it time to reflect on your own issues? So many years after graduation, and still relying on others to make films?"

Qi Yunlin was stunned, his face turning pale and ugly as if he had been slapped.

He took a deep breath, about to speak when Qi Hanyu coldly warned, "Non-crew members shouldn’t be backstage, and you should know that. Leave."

Hearing this, Qi Yunlin’s face looked even worse.

Beneath his downcast eyes, a hint of gloom passed by.

From childhood till now, he had never been so belittled, only his uncle had never given him face, always making him live in his shadow.

But facing him, he couldn’t say anything.

Qi Yunlin clenched his fists tightly, said nothing, and left directly.

Qi Hanyu watched his departing figure, frowned slightly but said nothing more.

He glanced at the dressing room not far away, hesitated for a moment, and walked over to knock on the door.

It was only after hearing a response from inside that he entered.

The first thing he saw was Gu Zhi’s ponytailed back.

"Gu Zhi."

The person in front of the mirror turned, glanced at him nonchalantly, "Emperor Qi."

"No need to call me Emperor, just call me by my name." Qi Hanyu looked at her unemotional expression, relieved, and his gaze fell on her face with a hint of amazement.

He had seen Gu Zhi in many styles and outfits, yet didn’t expect every moment to be so beautiful. At this moment, she looked like Lu Sheng walking out of a script.

The man’s eyes deepened with a smile, unabashedly praising, "Miss Lu’s costume test is beautiful."

"Thank you," Gu Zhi replied courteously, "Mr. Chen is also handsome."

Qi Hanyu: "..."

He pressed his lips, chuckling involuntarily, and thought of something. His expression turned serious, "Did Qi Yunlin come to you just now? If he said anything excessive, don’t worry about his status, I’ll teach him a lesson when I go back."

Gu Zhi was taken aback, but didn’t mind, slightly curled her lips, "I know."

Qi Hanyu acknowledged, seemed like he wanted to say something, but stylists carrying a bunch of clothes came in, startled by the people inside. They quickly greeted, "Qi—Emperor Qi?"

Qi Hanyu glanced at them, nodding indifferently.

The stylist looked at the two with a gossipy face, gaze shifting between them, and hesitated before saying, "Teacher Gu is about to change clothes for a styling test. You..."

The man was briefly startled, his thin lips curling slightly, nodding, "Then I’ll let you get busy."

He spoke, glanced at Gu Zhi, "Looking forward to Miss Lu’s costume test."

Gu Zhi smiled, accepted the clothes handed over, but didn’t say much.

Once Qi Hanyu left the dressing room, the stylist finally snapped out of a daze, widening their eyes in gossip.

They didn’t expect that Emperor Qi actually knew Teacher Gu? And seemed quite familiar?

Recalling the look Emperor Qi had given Teacher Gu just now, how could it be considered innocent...

Could it be that what the netizens speculated was true!?

The stylist pressed their lips, not daring to ask more, and hurriedly completed Gu Zhi’s styling.

On the other side, Tang Jin had just finished handling some tasks and was about to discuss a contract with Dai Qian, when he saw Gu Yiyi coming for a female lead audition.

He frowned, a bit confused, "There are no female lead auditions today, don’t you know? Didn’t you check the audition list?"

Gu Yiyi pressed her lips, knowing there were no female lead auditions, but still wanted to try. If chosen, she would have officially stepped into the film industry.

She looked at Tang Jin, pleading, "I know there’s no female lead audition today, but I still want to try, Director Tang, please give me a chance."

Tang Jin was momentarily surprised, finding it amusing. He had never had a good impression of her acting skills and showed no kindness, "The lead role is already decided, it’s Gu Zhi, didn’t you know?"
