Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral-Chapter 111: He Wants to Earn Money and Also Wants to Help His Sister Earn Money

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: He Wants to Earn Money and Also Wants to Help His Sister Earn Money

Gu Zhi had become somewhat of a little rich lady in a short time.

In recent days, she and Dai Qian had discussed several new business endorsements.

More invitations were coming her way, with various scripts and variety shows lined up. There was even a director who created a reality show proposal especially for her and the Qin Family, inviting Gu Zhi and her family to participate.

Dai Qian was very excited about this variety show, thinking the Qin brothers, with their looks and current status, had all the ingredients for a big hit.

He couldn’t help but look at Gu Zhidao, "How about this variety show on Goose Platform? It’s practically tailored for your family, and there’s a seven-day Europe tour included too, perfect for taking your family out for some fun!"

"Not taking it," Gu Zhi refused without a second thought, "No need to accept other unnecessary invitations either. Focus on the scripts we have at hand first."

Dai Qian had a look of deep regret, "Really not taking it? What a pity..."

Gu Zhi’s eye twitched slightly, and she cast a cool glance at him, "If you’re so keen to invite them, I’ll give you that opportunity later."

"?" Dai Qian was confused, not understanding, "What do you mean?"

Gu Zhi didn’t bother to explain, as she hadn’t planned for the Qin Family to appear in too many variety shows or get into the entertainment circle.

In their respective fields, she believed they would shine just as bright.

She picked out a script among the many and handed it to Dai Qian, saying, "Help me get in touch with this film."

Dai Qian glanced at it and was momentarily stunned. She had chosen an artsy film, "Little Alley Lady."

The director was Zhang Hong, who had gained fame back then with a film called "Submerged Lighthouse," which sent both the lead actor and actress to international film festivals.

However, with the rise of fast-food culture in recent years and the dominance of commercial films, nobody seemed to want to buy art films anymore. Director Zhang Hong was known for being a literary enthusiast, stubborn, only willing to make this kind of film, and wouldn’t change styles even after two flops.

He frowned and said, "Director Zhang Hong’s films have little audience now. Wouldn’t taking this be somewhat risky? It’s better than those A-grade and S-grade IP dramas with higher long-tail benefits..."

Gu Zhi, however, shook her head, "No matter how many web dramas you shoot, they don’t have as much value as films."

Besides, she had researched Zhang Hong’s previous works, and his shooting technique wasn’t problematic. His last two failures were due to script and actor execution issues.

"Little Alley Lady" was centered around the female protagonist, and if done well, it could become a decade-long representative of this genre’s reputation.

Dai Qian hesitated for a moment, saying nothing more, as he inexplicably had faith in Gu Zhi’s capability now.

Plus, Gu Zhi was his boss now! What could he say?

He merely said, "However, Director Zhang Hong has requirements as high as Director Tang does, and I can’t guarantee we’ll be able to negotiate successfully."

Gu Zhi nodded, "Getting an audition opportunity is enough."

Dai Qian: "..." She’s really talented and fearless now!

-

The shooting start date for "Double Time" was set for next week, right when the next variety show recording ends.

After the costume and makeup photos were taken, it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and Gu Zhi took some time to visit the Qin Family.

When she arrived at the Qin Family, Mrs. Qin and the rest had just finished wrapping zongzi. This time, both Qin Yuan and Qin Ji were back, with Qin Ji on the phone by the window.

Seeing Gu Zhi return, he glanced over and then told the person on the other end of the line, "Yes, this round of financing has started. I’ll send the detailed price and analysis to your email...I have something to attend to now, so let’s leave it at that, okay, goodbye..."

After speaking to them, he quickly ended the call and walked over to Gu Zhi, "Back again."

Gu Zhi noticed he was no longer wearing the plaid shirt and jacket but a white business shirt, which made him appear more upright and prestigious. She smiled slightly, "Changed jobs?"

Qin Ji nodded, "I joined Chairman Yang’s company a few days ago, he’s really considerate of me."

"That’s good. Chairman Yang’s company is more suited for you."

Qin Ji smiled helplessly, "I just can’t accompany you on the show this week. Chairman Yang assigned me a project to learn and follow up, and he’s planning to personally take part in this investment, which he heavily values."

Gu Zhi pursed her lips, narrowing her eyes to look at him, "Aren’t you planning to participate? After all, it’s a project you’re responsible for."

Qin Ji was briefly stunned and shook his head, "These aren’t things we can participate in; it’s just rich people’s games."

"I’m rich," Gu Zhi raised an eyebrow, saying it with a tone that suggested, "The weather is nice today," "I’ll give you the money to invest. I trust your judgment and Chairman Yang’s."

Qin Ji paused, then immediately declined, "Investing is not a joke. You should keep your money to yourself and not give it to anyone."

Had it been before, he might have had the courage to splurge, but after experiencing so much these past years, seeing the open and hidden wounds of the financial markets, he no longer had the ambition of his youth.

"I’m serious," Gu Zhi’s tone turned earnest, "I recently made some money shooting commercials, you take it and invest, and if it earns, it counts as mine."

Qin Ji furrowed his brows, remaining silent.

"Don’t tell me big brother lacks confidence to lead me to wealth and success?"

Qin Ji gazed at her for a while before nodding gravely, "Alright... I’ll invest it for you, if there’s a loss, it counts as mine, I’ll repay you gradually."

Gu Zhi pursed her lips; she knew he wouldn’t take her money, "Then I’ll just wait for big brother to lead me to wealth and success."

She immediately contacted the bank manager to transfer a sum to him. Gu Zhi didn’t value money that much. In a past life, she had experienced poverty and later earned enough money to last several lifetimes.

Though it’s not much money now, she could still earn if there was a loss, and more importantly, she trusted Qin Ji’s capability. This money could be more useful under his management.

Watching her, Qin Ji shook his head helplessly, yet his eyes were filled with affection.

He understood her intentions perfectly.

Her trust, however, gave him the courage.

He wanted to earn money, money for his sister to spend.

After chatting with him for a while, Gu Zhi turned around and noticed a graduation cap on the coffee table, pausing in surprise, "Second brother graduated?"

Qin Yuan, who was reading a document, looked up upon hearing this, "Yeah, Academician Chen just approved my thesis, and I passed my graduation. Next week, I’ll be joining his research project group."

"So fast?" Gu Zhi was somewhat surprised and gave him a thumbs up, "Congratulations."

Qin Yuan smiled dotingly, standing up with the graduation cap, "You came back at the perfect time, Zhi Zhi, let’s take a photo together."

He had specifically brought the graduation gown and cap back just to take a photo with her.

Gu Zhi smiled, "Sure."

She got up and turned on her phone, while Qin Yuan put on the graduation gown and cap again. Tall and long-legged, the gown only reached his knees, making him look exceptionally handsome, like a battle cloak.

The two took several photos together, all taken by Qin Zheng. In the end, they tidied the living room a bit and decided to invite the whole family to take some family photos together.

After taking the photos, Gu Zhi sorted through a few pictures and posted a Weibo.
