Chapter 170: Close to the face and open up
How could you think of me like that?
Gu Wen looked at the other person in surprise, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she had been misunderstood and was extremely heartbroken.
When he lowered his head, resentment flashed in his eyes.
She didn't expect Yuan Sixiao to be so direct, not giving her any face at all.
How dare he.
Doesn't he know his relationship with higher-ups?
If you want to make things difficult for him, it's just a matter of saying a few words.
She's no longer the nobody in the company who was ignored and no one cared about her.
Even though she managed to feign weakness and avoid the topic, she could still sense the way some people were looking at her because of Yuan Sixiao's words.
has changed.
She could clearly sense that a gaze that had been very interested in her before had now disappeared.
Gu Wen felt somewhat annoyed, realizing she had made a mistake.
If she had known that Yuan Sixiao would be so disrespectful to her, she shouldn't have brought up the cooperation so early.
Not only did the cooperation fail, but it also left a bad impression on the guests at the banquet.
That's the worst part.
The reason she chose to come to Yuan Sixiao's house today instead of discussing this matter at the company was that she had a plan: she wanted to get to know some high-ranking people at this banquet.
You should know that she had seen several of these people on the financial channel before.
Any one of them could increase her net worth several times over.
The reason she deliberately approached Yuan Sixiao was not only because of his fame and influence, but also because of his status as a young master from a wealthy family.
However, for some reason, Yuan Sixiao suddenly changed his attitude towards her one day. He became like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard, making it difficult to get close to him.
Fortunately, before that, she was no longer an invisible figure in the company thanks to Yuan Sixiao.
Later, he successfully connected with the company's senior management, so it wasn't all for nothing.
However, she didn't want to have worked for nothing today either.
She didn't want to miss out on either the collaboration with Yuan Sixiao or the opportunity to build connections through this banquet.
Even if there have been some missteps, they are not beyond redemption.
Gu Wen used her tried-and-true method.
He rubbed his eyes hard, and they immediately turned red, as if he had been crying.
It easily arouses a man's protective instincts.
She looked at Yuan Sixiao pitifully, "Why would you think of me like that? I just admire Teacher Xiao's talent and thought that I would definitely learn a lot by working with you."
"I know I'm insignificant and not as famous as Teacher Xiao, but you can't wrong me like this!"
"You think too highly of me." Gu Wen smiled self-deprecatingly, revealing her beautiful profile.
"Don't say I wouldn't covet things that don't belong to me; even if I did have the desire, I wouldn't have the ability to obtain them!"
Gu Wen stood there weakly, on the verge of tears.
Yuan Sixiao, who was already tall, now had a livid face and an unfriendly expression.
Anyone who sees these two people with such a stark contrast would find it hard not to make the connection.
Yuan Yangyang couldn't eat the chestnut cake anymore.
Without hesitation, he mocked, "Who released this 1982 Longjing tea? The green tea smell is so strong that I can't eat anything."
Yuan Yangyang waved the air in front of her, as if she were actually being inhaled by green tea.
Then, she looked at Gu Wen, whose face was stiff, and asked curiously, "You're acting strange?"
Gu Wen froze, not understanding for a moment, "Wh-what?"
"I've seen people admire their seniors, but I've never seen anyone admire their seniors like you do?"
"You went to someone's banquet, under the guise of admiring your seniors, and insisted that they turn your album's title track into a duet between you two."
To expect someone to choose you as the female lead in their music video—this way of idolizing a senior is just too bizarre.
"No, I didn't," Gu Xiao hurriedly explained.
"But you really taught me a lesson, and I want to thank you."
Yuan Yangyang took it very seriously, her face full of earnestness.
Gu Wen: "Huh?"
Yuan Yangyang: "If I ever see a role I like in a film or television production, I'll go up to the male lead and tell him, 'I admire you so much! Please give me a chance to learn from you!'"
"I'm not bad-looking, and my acting skills are not bad either, so why won't you work with me? Can't you even give me a chance to get close to you?"
As Yuan Yangyang spoke, she mimicked Gu Wen's earlier actions, bowing her head and sobbing.
Yuan Yangyang, who usually has a sunny and cheerful appearance, deliberately exaggerated her expression and imitated Gu Wen's earlier mannerisms.
Not only did they grasp the essence perfectly, but they also exaggerated the affected and exaggerated aspects.
This caused the onlookers to burst into laughter.
After Yuan Yangyang finished her performance, she even went face-to-face with Gu Wen and unleashed her ultimate attack.
"Do you think what I did just now was okay? Could it land me a few supporting roles in dramas?"
"I won't ask for the lead role, after all, I don't have your thick skin."
"You!" Gu Wen felt embarrassed.
She heard the laughter around her and felt it was all mockery directed at her.
"What do you mean, 'you'? Did I say something wrong?"
"Not only do you want to ride on my second brother's popularity and make his new song yours, but you also want to be the female lead in his music video. Am I wrong?"
"Why are you taking food and money with you?"
"Although my second brother is honest, I can understand if you want to get something for nothing."
"But you can't keep picking at the same sheep, what if you end up plucking it all out?"
Yuan Yangyang spoke earnestly, as if she genuinely cared about the other person's feelings.
But to Gu Wen, it sounded like nothing but mockery.
The laughter of those around him was particularly jarring.
She had never felt so humiliated before; she felt like she was going to lose all face for the rest of her life.
Before coming, she dressed up carefully, hoping that the important people at the banquet would remember her.
But now.
She wished she could disappear into the shadows, praying that no one would notice her.
She cares about her reputation.
Knowing that I couldn't stay any longer
Gu Wen forced a smile and said to Yuan Yangyang with a stiff face.
"You've misunderstood Miss Yuan; it's not what you think."
Then, he said to Yuan Sixiao, "No matter how you misunderstand me, it doesn't matter. I really hope to learn from you."
"However, perhaps I came at the wrong time today, so I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."
After saying that, Gu Wen covered her face and ran away.
He hated the two Yuan siblings to the core.
All she could think about was how to make Yuan Sixiao suffer when she got back.
Getting rid of her won't be that easy.
Yuan Yangyang watched the other person's departing figure and pouted.
I feel unhappy.
Gu Wen left as soon as she finished speaking, giving her no chance to retaliate.
It feels like a tiny needle pricking your skin—painful and itchy, but not fatal.
Yuan Yangyang felt frustrated and had nowhere to vent her anger.
I felt uncomfortable sticking my fork into the chestnut cake.
[All you do is play the green tea act, can't you come up with something else? It's boring.]
[You want to be the female lead in a music video? Fine, I won't give it to you, just so you can be mad!]
