Chapter 1558 Reaching the Destination Without Desire
The next day, Emily cried when she arrived at the company.
Su Wan asked, "What happened to you?"
Emily said, "I broke up with my boyfriend."
They had broken up many times. Even Su Wan had heard of it six or seven times before.
Su Wan said, "When are you getting back this time?"
Emily roared, "I"m not getting back with him. Over my dead body. Ha, I"ll be cheap beyond words if I get back with him."
"Alright, alright. You won"t get back with him. Let"s go for a drink after the program ends at night."
"Really? Will you bear to when you"re so thrifty?"
Everyone in the company knew that Su Wan was thrifty.
She had fame after a movie, but now she was still living in a rented apartment and eating takeaways.
Su Wan did not explain to anyone. She had her own opinions. Now, her money belonged to others. Many in the company felt that they could return the company"s money gradually, but she felt like she was doing the company wrong in this way. She did not want to be such a burden. Since the company had helped her to earn some money, she should return the company"s money.
Even if Lin Che saved her from the fire, her previous company would have still buried her if not for Lin Che. Hence, she felt the need to return the money.
She said, "I"ll take it on the account that you"ve broken up. So I"ll be a little more generous. Don"t cry anymore."
"I"m touched!" Emily hugged Su Wan.
Sun Rourou walked by and saw the two of them. She said, "How childish."
Many in the company knew about Emily"s relations.h.i.+p history, and many could not believe it.
Many celebrities would choose to stay single until they get famous and find some rich person to marry.
Even if he was not some wealthy tyc.o.o.n, he would at least be a small business owner.
But Emily had been sheltering for a penniless boyfriend for so many years.
In the afternoon, they went to the cafe together. This was the first week of filming this new program. Everyone worked hard.
In regards to the menu and recruiting people.
Su Wan ran about excitedly.
Sun Rourou just sat there, maintaining a good image. Seeing how Su Wan behaved like a real service staff, she scoffed and thought, "This fool. She really thinks she"s working here. They"re just here to film a reality show, alright?"
It would be enough when you just pretended to do something whenever the camera was on you.
Many came. They recognized Su Wan and Emily as celebrities, so they asked for pictures and chatted happily.
Some also did not recognize them as they were still newcomers.
Just then, someone sat silently at a corner.
The camera quickly turned and focused on him.
He was wearing a cap and big sungla.s.ses. He kept a low profile sitting in the corner.
The person at the hidden camera sat there and said excitedly.
"Yes, today we can see that the big star, big boss, Gu Jingyu, has arrived. Everyone can see that he"s sitting there now. Our staff is still busy, and n.o.body noticed him. The customers have not noticed him at all."
"Ah, now somebody noticed. Look, it"s Sun Rourou."
Sun Rourou saw someone from the bar counter.
Fair-skinned, he was seated there with his head lowered.
Instinctively, she knew he was different.
She quickly brought the menu over.
After looking for a bit, she almost shouted out in surprise.
"Wow…"
Gu Jingyu…
At first, Sun Rourou was surprised, but she immediately thought there must be a camera around. Since she did not want others to come over and fight for screen time, she whispered, "Ah, Gu… Senior. You don"t want to be seen?"
The truth is, Gu Jingyu did not want to come at all.
Lin Che forced her.
He said, "Yeah."
"Then, what do you want to order? I"ll go do it."
"Yeah."
Sun Rourou immediately took his orders.
The people behind the scenes watched on and thought that it was uninteresting that only Sun Rourou had seen him.
They had to make fair use of Gu Jingyu"s one-time presence.
So they instructed someone to get Sun Rourou to do other things first.
Sun Rourou entered the orders into the system, and the cafe manager got her to do some other tasks.
Sun Rourou looked reluctantly at this side. But since there were cameras around, she did not dare mess around.
She could only leave.
At this moment.
Gu Jingyu"s order was ready.
The person monitoring from behind said, "Look, the second person is walking towards Gu Jingyu. It"s Su Wan. Did she see him?"
Su Wan really did not know and placed the coffee onto the table. She felt that she was still busy and quickly walked away.
She did not even look at Gu Jingyu.
Gu Jingyu thought, "Where are your eyes?"
Su Wan left immediately.
Gu Jingyu sat there and watched her, speechless.
Su Wan carried on busying herself. She noticed some customers chatting about something.
"Look, that guy is so handsome."
"Handsome? You can"t even see his face."
"I look at his figure, and I know he"s handsome."
"And he"s dressed very fas.h.i.+onably. He might be a celebrity."
"Now that you"ve mentioned it, I think he"s a little familiar."
Su Wan could not help but look over.
That man seated there seemed out of place.
The impulsive atmosphere became calm at where he was.
Su Wan looked, and a feeling of familiarity overcame her.
Just then…
Su Wan"s heart lit up.
Gu… Gu Jingyu?
Su Wan clenched her fingers. She wanted to go over but dared not.
They were familiar yet distant from each other.
They were more and more like strangers.
As though they were on two different roads—two separate straight roads that had no way of coming together.
She stood there and looked, and then she saw Sun Rourou return anxiously.
"Ah, where"s the order I just entered?"
"Oh, Su Wan had already sent it over."
"What? Su Wan, what are you doing? That was my order."
"I didn"t see anyone."
Su Wan understood. Sun Rourou already knew who that customer was.
She said, "I"ll hand everything to you, even the cleaning up. Alright?"
"Really?"
Sun Rourou was satisfied.
She looked at Su Wan, walked over, and said, "Don"t you know that"s Gu Jingyu?"
"I know."
"Then why aren"t you going over?"
"Don"t you want to go over?"
"Ha… you really have no desire to reach your destination." Sun Rourou did not understand at all.
She said, "Go on."
"Ah, a man like this. Let me tell you. I won"t exactly touch him."
"Why?" Su Wan looked at her. Weren"t there many who wanted to marry Gu Jingyu?
"First, it"s impossible if you think of marrying him. Right? His family will find someone of matching status. Second, there will be a lot of pressure if you marry him. Look at those who marry into rich families. Not all are guaranteed a blissful life. The risk is too great. So, I only hope he can help me become famous for a bit."
Su Wan thought what she had said was clever.
But wouldn"t that make Gu Jingyu become a tool?
