Ji Xincheng snuggled in Gu Shaoze's arms and did not move for a long time.

Just when Gu Shaoze thought she was asleep and was about to carry her upstairs, he vaguely heard her murmuring.

"Go to sleep?" He asked.

"I said thank you." She lifted her little face against his chest, "Thank you, Mr. Gu." His eyes looked into his eyes.

Gu Shaoze calmly caught her two straight eyes, stroked her sideburns for a while, nodded and then laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" She asked, still soft.

"The way you look now, just like ......," he sighed, and stopped talking.

"Like what?"

He shook his head, still smiling, before he said, "I was going to say something, but I forgot to look at you like this." ”

Ji Xincheng looked at Gu Shaoze like this quietly, at this moment, the layers of frost on his heart were rapidly disintegrating. She kept her eyes open for a long time, and finally felt tired, and when she closed it, she said, "I don't want to sleep." But he couldn't help but yawn.

"It's okay, just sleep for a while, and I'll call you in thirty minutes?" He put his hand on her back and stroked her gently to help her sleep.

Ji Xincheng closed his eyes and said 'um' with great enjoyment, but the mobile phone ringtone also rang at this time.

Gu Shaoze took the bag on the other side of the sofa in his long hand and took out his mobile phone to turn it off, but Ji Xincheng had already sat up, "Who?" ”

Facing the screen to her, Gu Shaoze said, "Tang Tang." "Put your finger on the control button on the side of the phone, ready to mute.

"Don't turn it off, give it to me."

"Let her call later?"

"No, I asked her to call me back if she had a situation, it's a matter of the studio." As she spoke, she left his lap, climbed onto the sofa, and got the phone at Gu Shaoze's insistence.

Ji Xincheng picked up the phone, "Tang, how is it?" ”

During the filming of the new drama, Tang Tang and the studio took a few more film appointments for Ji Xincheng, but the original time was not completely finalized, and the studio didn't have time to make any preparations, but the other party set the shooting time in the past few days, and Ji Xincheng confirmed the pregnancy news again, and the schedule couldn't keep up, so Tang Tang had to come forward to negotiate with the other party.

Just let Ji Xincheng quit, after all, it is a physical health problem, the other party is helpless despite regrets, the problem is not big, the key is the few young actors newly signed by the studio, Tang Tang arranged in Ji Xincheng's contract for the other party to bring together, this next Ji Xincheng can not act, the other party has also replaced these newcomers, without exception, this can make Tang Tang feel uneasy.

"I didn't expect these people to be like this! A few newcomers almost pasted it upside down for them, and they also picked and chosen, clearly intending to use this matter to pinch us! ”

"Do they have any conditions?"

"I just want you to act, or I'll replace the people on our side."

"Don't worry about the rest, what does Huating say?"

"That's pretty much what it means, but their Xiao Zhou always said they could talk."

"Talk? What to talk about? ”

"I'm also curious, you can't act anyway, do you still talk about the salary after that? But it shouldn't be, if you don't have a good impact on your comeback after giving birth, how can they be willing to take such a risk. ”

Ji Xincheng was also puzzled, but said that she could talk, she still wanted to try it, "Tang, can you make an appointment with them at night?" ”

Tang Tang was surprised, "Do you really plan to talk to them?" ”

"If Huating's contract can be kept for a few newcomers, the others will be lost."

"Okay, then I'll make an appointment."

Ending the call, Ji Xincheng wanted to lean into Gu Shaoze's arms again, but he stretched out his hand to block it, squinting slightly and staring at her condescendingly, "May I ask Mrs. Gu, who are you going to date at night?" ”

Seeing that there was a deep meaning in his words, Ji Xincheng said with a smile, "Very important person." ”

As he spoke, his arms were on his neck, and his eyes were wide open to him, with a 'You dare to push me away?' 'It's not good to mess with the fight.

Don't say that Gu Shaoze didn't dare, he was also reluctant, wrapped his arms around her waist, kissed the corners of her eyes, and then said, "Is there any trouble?" Need my help? ”

He observed her every move, and seemed to be more and more careful, for ordinary reasons, she would probably leave it to Tang Tang to deal with herself, and would not wait for the other party's phone call to feedback the situation.

Ji Xincheng's heart was warm, but she didn't plan to rely too much on him for work, so she said: "It's not a big deal, about a few newcomers, in fact, I don't have to worry about it, I just want to go and see." ”

"Tonight?"

Ji Xincheng was about to say and watch again, but Tang Tang's text message came on his mobile phone, which was about the time and place of the other party.

"Yes, tonight."

"Where?"

Seeing that he was about to ask the end, Ji Xincheng reluctantly reported the name of the hotel, and then intercepted the conversation in time and said, "Tang Tang is here, don't worry, I will call you if there is something." ”

Just to ask him not to ask again, Gu Shaoze was stunned, carried the person back upstairs, and did not delve into it anymore.

The two of them took a late nap upstairs together, and when Ji Xincheng was completely awake, it was close to dinner time, and they were surprised to see Gu Shaoze also lying next to him sleeping deeply, and couldn't help but wake him up angrily, "Didn't you let you call me for half an hour?" ”

Gu Shaoze was woken up, rubbing his hazy eyes, and her other hand was still pillowed under her neck.

"I called, you said to let you sleep a little longer."

"I'm like this every time, that's why I want you to call me, otherwise just use the alarm clock!"

Is that so? Gu Shaoze looked at her, and it took a while to react to this logic, "Oh, then you are full of sleep and have the gas to get up now?" ”

Ji Xincheng took a deep breath, glared at him, and then pulled off the quilt and got out of bed.

Gu Shaoze hurriedly got up behind her, pasted it, rubbed his arm and kissed his shoulder, "Don't be angry, wife, it's still too late, didn't you just have an appointment at night?" Doesn't it look better when you're well asleep? ”

With such a flamboyant tongue, Ji Xincheng probably didn't lift his eyelids, but at this time, Gu Shaoze, who had just woken up and had a hoarse voice, said that there was an endless charm, which made Ji Xincheng's pores all over his body begin to shout.

"Don't follow me!" Ji Xincheng stopped and turned around, giving full play to the uncertain temper of the pregnant woman.

Gu Shaoze always greeted him with a smile, "Okay, I'll pick out clothes for you." ”

Looking at the back of him leaving in a hurry, the word 'dog leg' popped up inexplicably in Ji Xincheng's mind, pursed his lips, and worked very hard to hold back his laughter.

The people from Huating made an appointment at the Xinsen Hotel, which was very close to Gu Shaoze's office, and sent Ji Xincheng here, Gu Shaoze naturally went back to the company, saying that he had something to deal with, but Ji Xincheng knew that he was just looking for a more suitable place to wait for her.

Thinking that he has been performing so well recently, Ji Xincheng kindly straightened the collar of his shirt before getting out of the car, and then turned around and got out of the car.

I didn't think about it, but he asked behind him, "That's it?" ”

Ji Xincheng couldn't help but turn around, "What?" ”

He let out a deep breath of helplessness and said in frustration, "Okay, it seems that I haven't done well enough, and Mrs. Gu won't even give a kiss." ”

In fact, Ji Xincheng really wanted to kiss him just now, but the car was parked at the door of the hotel, and people came and went, so he changed his mind temporarily. ”

After saying that, regardless of the impact of these words, he escaped and got out of the car.

Gu Shaoze didn't have time to get out of the car to open the door for her, so he had to shout behind her at this time, "Ji Xincheng, slow down!" ”

Ji Xincheng reacted at this time, hurriedly steadied his pace, and made an 'OK' gesture behind him.

Tang Tang was already waiting in the hall, and when he saw Ji Xincheng coming alone, he was a little surprised, "Your old Gu didn't accompany you?" Reassuring him? ”

"What's not to worry about, isn't there you?"

Tang Tang wanted to speak and stopped, Ji Xincheng blinked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I just thought he would come, and I figured out how to explain it to him."

Ji Xincheng glanced away from the door in the direction where Gu Shaoze had left, took Tang Tang's arm and walked in, "How can you let him come, he wants to stop here, there is no need to talk about today's matter, the other party will either take care of his face and give us this contract but is actually unhappy, or he will never interact with us from now on, and treat us as the kind of empty people, then do we want to mix up in this industry in the future?" ”

"You just don't want to rely on him anyway." Tang Tang concluded.

"Let you rely on Xu Mo, can you rely on it?"

"What the hell am I doing, there is no overlap between the fields of work between the two of us."

"It's as if you'd like to." Ji Xincheng disagreed.

The two entered the private room, but the other party had not yet arrived, and Ji Xincheng and Tang Tang carefully confirmed the menu and drinks again.

Before he sat down, the door of the box was opened by the waiter, and the people who greeted him were Mr. Xiao Zhou and his assistant in Huating.

"Welcome to Mr. Zhou!" Ji Xincheng stepped forward to greet him.

Xiao Zhou is nearly fifty years old, and he looks far from being this age, shaking hands with Ji Xincheng with a smile, "Mrs. Gu, hello!" ”

Huating's Zhou father and son, who are well-known beautiful men in the industry, used to be excellent actors, but they suddenly turned behind the scenes in their heyday, like a rapid retreat, leaving the most brilliant moments on the screen for people to talk about. What is rare is that the Zhou father and son who have moved behind the scenes are also not to be underestimated, their film-related Huating, in just a few years, although the output is not much, but it has firmly occupied a place in the film and television industry, which is the main reason why Ji Xincheng wants to try his best this time.

The two sides sat down, first exchanged pleasantries, and then cut into the topic, Xiao Zhou not only did not detour, but directly said his thoughts, "I have seen the information of the newcomers in your studio, not to mention the small roles in this film, and it is not difficult to arrange them in our next two films." ”

Ji Xincheng was stunned and said with hesitation, "What does Mr. Xiao Zhou mean?" ”

"I do have the conditions, otherwise I wouldn't have sat here in person to talk to Mrs. Gu in person." He paused for a moment, and then said, "I'll just say it bluntly, as long as Gu Shaoze and Gu can always hand over a project of their company to us in the near future, I am happy to reach a long-term cooperation with Mrs. Gu's studio." ”

"......" Ji Xincheng came over, and her eyes fell on Tang Tang's face, and sure enough, her expression was much more clear than herself, it turned out that Tang Tang was in the hall just now.

knew that the other party was coming for Gu Shaoze, even if Ji Xincheng tried to explain how many newcomers in his studio had potential, it seemed that it was too pale compared to what the other party wanted at the moment.

She was silent for about ten seconds before she spoke, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, in fact, I ...... with my husband."

Tang Tang suddenly kicked Ji Xincheng under the table at this time, although it was not heavy, it was still enough for Ji Xincheng to feel her strong blocking.

Ji Xincheng ignored Tang Tang and continued to say to Xiao Zhou on the other side, "I also told you directly, when I started this studio by myself, he didn't approve of it very much, if I use my affairs to trouble him now, I don't think he will be willing to help, so your proposal ......."

"Since Mr. Xiao Zhou has already spoken, we might as well give Mr. Gu a call, otherwise Mr. Xiao Zhou will still be making excuses for us."

This time, Tang Tang directly interrupted Ji Xincheng's words, the meaning was very clear, she was very much in favor of Ji Xincheng asking Gu Shaoze for help.

For such a Tang Tang, Ji Xincheng was helpless and puzzled, so he had to find an excuse to leave the box with Xiao Zhou for a while.

When the two came to an open and uninhabited place, Ji Xincheng asked with a straight face, "Tang, what's going on with you today?" ”

"Actually, when I was dating them, Mr. Xiao Zhou said bluntly that he was here for your old Gu."

"Then you ......" Ji Xincheng was a little speechless.

"I'm not afraid that I will directly refuse a little hope, when the time comes, a few newcomers will lose a few contracts in hand, and you will feel guilty about it when you are pregnant, shouldn't you!"

"But you know, I don't want to rely on Gu Shaoze at work, you also approved of it at the beginning!"

Tang Tang knew that he was at a loss, and said flatteringly, "You just call and ask, after all, it is really possible that Gu Shaoze will not help as you said, so it would be good." ”

The words are for outsiders, Ji Xincheng knows very well in his heart, at the moment, with Gu Shaoze's attention to her, let him do anything, just a project, and if he can't let him out, he will give it up, she just has such an intuition.

The more this happened, the less she wanted to call him.

Tang Tang also persuaded, "Do you rely on him, anyway, in the eyes of others, you are both husband and wife, sometimes the resources that can be integrated can indeed be shared, and we don't rely on the Gu family for everything, if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to simply go to work at the 'Rising Star'!" You know, we have to run the studio well, and sometimes it is inevitable ......"

"Okay, I'll just fight."

Ji Xincheng was a little uncomfortable by Tang Tang's serious words, this studio is nominally Ji Xincheng's, Tang Tang is just a shareholder, but Ji Xincheng knows that the person who pays the most effort is Tang Tang.
