The subordinate was slightly taken aback. Someone like President Gu, whose plans are always precisely measured like a ruler, used the phrase ’hard to say’ when it came to his marriage. It seemed that President Gu’s marriage affairs weren’t going smoothly...

However, the subordinate knew that President Gu had a daughter who seemed to be about three and a half years old. President Gu’s daughter was very well-protected and had never been brought to the company.

Also, because President Gu had never mentioned her ex-husband, nor had he ever appeared in a formal setting at the company, most people in the company had always considered Gu Yuan a single mother.

After Gu Yuan finished work early and arrived at the awards ceremony venue, the outside had already quieted down a bit.

Some of the fans and media had gone to the auditorium, and there were some fallen light boards, postcards, and lots of roses brought by fans on the ground...

It looked like several top-tier stars had won the awards at this TV drama ceremony.

As soon as Gu Yuan arrived, she was personally greeted by the big boss of the organizers.

...

Chi Yu now clearly understood his relationship with Gu Yuan.

It had always been in a kind of ambiguous position.

They hadn’t started dating again, nor had they remarried.

When it came to the matter of remarriage, he was eager but unsure, so Chi Yu was working hard to become the kind of person Gu Yuan liked, only then would he have the confidence to stay by her side forever and bring up the topic of remarriage.

Yi Shu walked over and stood in front of Chi Yu, "You just talked on the phone with President Gu, didn’t you?"

Chi Yu responded with a hum.

Yi Shu was observant. Seeing Chi Yu’s expression, he knew that Chi Yu had gotten a cold reception from President Gu and couldn’t help saying, "Get a clue, President Gu is so busy. Where does she have the time to take care of your feelings, right?"

Hearing this, Chi Yu gave Yi Shu a gloomy look, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Who would dare, Young Master Quan." No matter how bold, one should never touch a tiger’s backside, so Yi Shu understood.

"Try calling me that again?" Chi Yu’s face turned stern.

He had fully accepted the name Chi Yu now, and anyone who called him Quan Jin would get on his nerves.

As Madam Mu Lan put it: After wandering around for so long, he doesn’t even recognize his own ancestors anymore!

"Let’s go, it’s time to enter the auditorium for the rehearsal. Try to maintain a good state for the live broadcast of the awards ceremony later. That’s your moment in the spotlight," Yi Shu prompted.

Chi Yu agreed verbally, but in his heart, he thought: hard to say.

For him, it was supposed to be a significant awards ceremony.

But if the important guest didn’t show up, he felt it wasn’t that meaningful.

He worked hard for all of this just to let Gu Yuan see, to let Gu Yuan know that for her, he would overcome all obstacles and do anything.

He sighed.

This sigh was loud, deeply expressing his feeling of helplessness.

Yi Shu didn’t know what Chi Yu was thinking and assumed Chi Yu was anxious about the awards ceremony. He comforted him, saying, "Don’t be nervous. The rehearsal isn’t even done yet. Once the rehearsal is over, you’ll realize it’s actually not that nerve-wracking. The organizers have thought it through. You don’t even have to memorize the acceptance speech. When you’re on stage making your acceptance speech, there will be prompts on the screen in front of you; just read them."

Chi Yu remained silent.

Yi Shu continued, "This is the first award of your acting career. All in all, you’re doing really well. Keep it up, and you’ll definitely become the next big hit dominating half the sky."

Chi Yu turned off his phone and handed it to Yi Shu, "Didn’t you see cows flying in the sky? Stop the flattery." Then he walked towards the auditorium.

"..." I’m encouraging you, and you say I’m boasting?!

Yi Shu walked side by side with him.

As they reached the entrance of the auditorium, two people approached from the side.

Recently, Chi Yu’s major competitor from the same company, Xiao Kai, and his manager Cheng Song walked over from the opposite side.

Yi Shu was a top manager with status at Yingcan, and Xiao Kai’s manager Cheng Song was virtually on par with Yi Shu in the company. Although they worked for the same company, the two were rivals.

But being privately at odds didn’t mean being overtly hostile in public.

Yi Shu nodded at Cheng Song as they approached.

Cheng Song responsed with a gracious nod.

Managers understand the importance of maintaining appearances on certain occasions, but Xiao Kai was a bull-headed person with the brain of a fishworm. He arrogantly blocked Chi Yu’s way, "Chi Yu, I heard you have a big award tonight. Congratulations, congratulations."

Chi Yu looked at Xiao Kai, who blocked his path, and a suitable smile appeared on his lips, "I also heard that you, senior, have a nice award tonight. Best wishes to both of us."

Calling him senior wasn’t just giving Xiao Kai some face.

Xiao Kai did, indeed, debut over two years earlier than Chi Yu.
