Chapter 1124: Star Wish: Serious Talk
Seeing Gu Yunqian and Su Xingya living in peace and tranquility, Han Zhiyuan felt a complex emotion in her heart, including envy, loss, and an inexplicable bitterness.
She pursed her lips, and finally decided not to go forward to disturb him, and quietly hid in a quiet corner.
In a corner, Han Zhiyuan was drinking champagne and eating small cakes. She usually works from home, and when she goes to the company for meetings or reads scripts with actors, she always wears a plain face and doesn't care about her image.
Over time, her colleagues saw her as a screenwriter who was focused on her writing and didn't care about her appearance.
So even though they were together day and night, when she was dressed so carefully, no one could recognize that she was the "hit-drama maker" in the company.
There was a deep gray in Han Zhiyuan's eyes, revealing some fatigue and loneliness.
She had been accustomed to such noisy and bustling occasions full of human relationships since she was a child, and even felt numb to it as she had grown up in a large family.
She picked up and put down the champagne glass in her hand several times, and her mind was not on the food and wine at all.
Just when she was mentally prepared and was about to say hello to Gu Yunqian and go back early, the man suddenly appeared behind her quietly like a ghost.
The moment Han Zhiyuan raised her eyes, she was really startled and shrank back subconsciously. Seeing that she was about to knock over the wine glasses and plates on the table due to her unstable center of gravity, Gu Yunqian was quick and subconsciously reached out to stop her waist.
At that moment, the two were so close that they could feel each other's breath. Han Zhiyuan's cheeks inevitably flushed, as if the sunset glow in the sky quietly climbed up her face. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and her pulse beat rapidly, like a frightened deer.
However, before she could recover from the sudden throbbing, Gu Yunqian had already quietly distanced them. His actions were polite and distant, without any intention of overstepping the boundaries, as if the moment of intimacy just now had never happened.
Then, Gu Yunqian let out a long sigh, as if to calm his inner turmoil.
He looked at Han Zhiyuan, who was looking down and submissive, and did not comfort her or ask about her shock. He just said calmly, "Lao Mo wants to meet the screenwriter."
Upon hearing this, Han Zhiyuan suddenly looked up and followed Gu Yunqian's gaze, and soon caught sight of the figures of Lao Mo and Xiao Mo.
She was just about to open her mouth to refuse, after all, she didn't want such a social scene, but Gu Yunqian had already started walking towards that side.
Han Zhiyuan had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue and reluctantly followed Gu Yunqian to join that circle.
Throughout the whole process, Lao Mo and Xiao Mo were extremely enthusiastic, and it was as if they had known each other for a long time and had a deep friendship.
Although Han Zhiyuan is not unfamiliar with such situations, she can handle them with ease thanks to her good upbringing and years of experience.
But just because she didn't like this kind of hypocritical atmosphere, she tried every means to escape from the family, and even preferred to become a hacker and immerse herself in the world of code.
I thought things would be different when I was with Gu Yunqian, but I didn't expect that it was just my wishful thinking.
The moment she came out of her chaotic thoughts, she was shocked to find that Gu Yunqian was no longer in front of her.
At that moment, the feeling of grievance was like a surging tide, completely uncontrollable and spreading wildly in my heart.
Her eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in them, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She could only bite her lower lip and endure the bitterness in her heart...
Xiao Mo was sharp-minded and could tell at a glance that Han Zhiyuan was in a low mood. Her once lively eyes were now dull and her mouth corners drooped, revealing a bit of loneliness.
He curled his lips slightly, and seemingly casually mentioned Gu Yunqian's whereabouts, with a bit of teasing in his tone: "Since Gu Yunqian got married, he has completely changed. He has become a good man. Speaking of which, screenwriter Han, you haven't met Su Xingya yet, right? Her temperament is elegant and generous, and she doesn't look like she has given birth to a child. She is well maintained and her every move is full of charm. Sure enough, the rumors outside that the man of the Gu family is the one who cares about the family are true."
As Han Zhiyuan listened to these words, her face became increasingly gloomy, so dark that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
She had been holding the champagne glass lightly, but because of her anger she unconsciously increased the strength of her hand. Her slender fingers rubbed against the wall of the glass, making a harsh "squeaking" sound that seemed particularly abrupt in this noisy occasion.
Xiao Mo, who was standing by, took it all in with a calm expression. A hint of imperceptible pride flashed across his eyes. He took the opportunity to curl his lips again, his face full of enthusiasm, and started to persuade him to drink: "Writer Han, today is a happy day, and everyone should relax for a rare time. You should drink more too. This champagne tastes very good."
As he spoke, he personally picked up the bottle and added some wine to Han Zhiyuan's glass. His enthusiasm and thoughtfulness quickly narrowed the distance between the two.
Xiao Mo was indeed smart. He saw that Han Zhiyuan didn't like this noisy and hypocritical environment, so he suggested, "Writer Han, I think it's too noisy here. How about we find a quiet place? By the way, let's talk about work."
He paused and added,
"The main reason is that I have some ideas about work recently, and I want to discuss them with you, a great screenwriter."
Han Zhiyuan subconsciously wanted to refuse. She was really tired of this kind of social activities.
And generally speaking, people who say such things in such situations are probably not holding their farts in well...
But when he thought that he was just a small office worker now, and Xiao Mo in front of him was at least half a boss, if he directly rejected his face, he would probably have a hard time in the company in the future.
Thinking of this, she nodded slightly, agreeing to Xiao Mo's proposal.
Seeing Han Zhiyuan agreed, Xiao Mo's smile became brighter, like a successful child. Then he made a gentlemanly "please" gesture and led Han Zhiyuan to a quiet corner.
In comparison, Gu Yunqian's behavior of leaving on his own just now seemed a bit rude, but Xiao Mo's whole process was flawless in every aspect.
The two sat opposite each other. Before Han Zhiyuan could speak, Xiao Mo took out a thick document from somewhere as if by magic, gently placed it on the table, and then began to explain his real purpose.
"Writer Han, to be honest, although I am a foreigner, after reading the script you wrote, I was really impressed by your writing skills."
Xiao Mo had a sincere look on his face, with admiration in his eyes.
"I have a lot of story ideas in my mind, and I've always wanted to project them into the script, but unfortunately my writing skills are so poor that what I wrote is dry and completely unreadable."
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Han Zhiyuan with a hint of anticipation.
"So I'd like to ask you for a favor. Based on my story outline, can you write a few more scripts that will be popular in the sinking market? Do you think it's okay? Just consider it as a personal favor from me."
After hearing Xiao Mo's plan, Han Zhiyuan was stunned for a long time.
She really didn't expect that things would develop like this, that a big boss of his level would personally inquire about the creation and talk to her about cooperation so seriously.
The two people's eyes met inadvertently, and for a moment, the air around them seemed to freeze and there was silence for a while.
Then, Xiao Mo raised a bitter smile, as if he had made a great decision. He slowly opened his mouth to express his true feelings. His voice and tone were much lower than before, and one could even hear a hint of sadness!
"To be honest, although my father has put me at this level, he is still testing whether I can take over..."
