He's just a stand-in

Liu Huaiqiu looked calm on the surface, but the words he said were so hurtful.

Gu Lichuan looked at the expressionless Liu Huaiqiu, opened his mouth with difficulty, and finally said, "I'm sorry."

Liu Huaiqiu still looked like he didn't care, and said calmly: "Mr. Gu doesn't have to say that, Mr. Gu has nothing to be sorry for me, if you say sorry, it should be me."

"After all I was so rude to say such disrespectful things to my superiors."

Gu Lichuan tightened his hands on both sides, and shook his head in despair, "No, no disrespect."

Liu Huaiqiu didn't answer Gu Lichuan's words, and continued: "What I said just now doesn't mean anything else, it's just stating a fact, and I don't mean to disrespect President Gu."

"But I really don't like Mr. Gu approaching me very much. It's not just physical contact, even when I see Mr. Gu... I feel unhappy."

Liu Huaiqiu sincerely apologized to Gu Lichuan, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu."

Gu Lichuan was heartbroken, silent for a while, and said in a trembling voice: "Qiuqiu doesn't need to apologize to me. I was the one who was sorry to you before, and it's normal for you to hate me."

"I know, I understand, it's my fault, it's all my fault."

There was uncontrollable pain in Gu Lichuan's voice.

Liu Huaiqiu was stunned for a moment, slowly digested Gu Lichuan's words, and then slowly said: "Mr. Gu should know that I lost my memory and forgot a lot of things."

"Although I don't know what happened to Mr. Gu and me, the past is in the past."

"Mr. Gu, it's better not to dwell on unnecessary past events. Let's all get well."

Although everyone around him told him that the relationship between him and Gu Lichuan was just that of a boss and a subordinate.

It can be seen how much he hates Gu Lichuan, Gu Lichuan's attitude towards him, and what Gu Lichuan said just now.

He didn't quite believe that the relationship between him and Gu Lichuan was just that of a boss and a subordinate.

However, no matter what relationship he had with Gu Lichuan before, it is no longer important to him now.

Moreover, neither the people around him nor himself wanted him to remember that past, so it shouldn't be a good memory after all.

"Mr. Gu, I'm going back first. Sister Yao is still waiting for me."

After leaving these words, Liu Huaiqiu turned and entered Yao Zhiyi's office without looking back.

Gu Lichuan stood where he was, looking at Liu Huaiqiu's disappearing figure in front of his eyes with a sense of loss, and couldn't help but want to rush forward to find Liu Huaiqiu back.

Gu Lichuan thought so, and then he did the same.

He walked quickly to the door of Yao Zhiyi's office excitedly, and by the time he realized it, his hand had already touched the doorknob.

Just when Gu Lichuan was about to open the door and enter, Liu Huaiqiu's shallow laughter suddenly came from the office.

Gu Lichuan paused, stopped what he was doing, and stood quietly at the door, listening to the constant conversation between Liu Huaiqiu and Yao Zhiyi coming from inside the door.

Look lonely.

Finally, Gu Lichuan let go of the doorknob, left Yao Zhiyi's office door, returned to another section of the corridor, stood alone in front of the window, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

Looking thoughtfully out of the window.

Liu Huaiqiu was discussing the script with Yao Zhiyi, and his heart ached.

He raised his head in a strange way, and glanced at the door.

After reacting, he secretly shook his head.

Yao Zhiyi looked at Liu Huaiqiu who was in a daze, and shouted, "Xiaoqiu? What are you thinking?"

"Is there something wrong with the script? Or are you not satisfied with these scripts?"

"Ah?" Liu Huaiqiu came back to his senses and said hastily: "No, nothing."

"I just thought of something else. I'm sorry, sister Yao, I just lost my mind."

Liu Huaiqiu knew very well that although he thought he had done nothing, he had the experience of being banned. For many netizens, he was already considered a bad artist.

As an unscrupulous entertainer with a lot of bad records, it is already a miracle that he can return to the entertainment circle.

Even he himself didn't expect so many investors and scripts to come to him.

It was too late for him to be flattered, how could he be dissatisfied with the script.

"It's nothing."

Yao Zhiyi said that she didn't care, but persuaded: "If you are really dissatisfied with these scripts or endorsements and don't want to accept it, you can tell me directly."

"I still have a lot of endorsements and scripts on hand, but I didn't bring them for you because I thought they might lower your grade."

"If you want to see it, I can bring it for you and let you choose it."

Those endorsements and scripts were originally for her newly signed artists.

Gu Lichuan refused to let her bring in new artists, so she could only transfer those artists along with scripts and endorsements to other managers.

If Liu Huaiqiu really wanted it, she could also ask that manager to come over.

After all, no one dares to offend Haiyue's proprietress now.

Liu Huaiqiu didn't know the reason, and quickly refused: "No, no, I believe Sister Yao, Sister Yao's arrangement is definitely the best."

"I really thought of other things just now, and it has nothing to do with scripts and endorsements."

Yao Zhiyi saw that Liu Huaiqiu's expression didn't seem to be fake, so she said, "That's fine, since you have nothing to dissatisfy, then the latest endorsement is settled like this, is it okay?"

"Yes, I will do whatever Sister Yao arranges."

Liu Huaiqiu didn't realize that Yao Zhiyi, as his manager, should have decided all his work arrangements regardless of his wishes, but now he wants to ask for his personal wishes in everything.

Even if he realized it, he only wanted to ask his opinion because he had a good relationship with Yao Zhiyi, and Yao Zhiyi didn't want him to work unhappy.

Therefore, I am even more grateful to Yao Zhiyi in my heart. , "Okay, then you can take a closer look later, pick out the one you like the most, and tell me, I will arrange your audition time." Yao Zhiyi put away the contract signed by Liu Huaiqiu on the table, leaving only Several scripts.

"Okay, thank you sister Yao."

Liu Huaiqiu nodded in agreement, picked up the script and read it carefully.

Yao Zhiyi: "Oh, that's right."

Liu Huaiqiu raised his head and said, "What's wrong, Sister Yao?"

Yao Zhiyi got up holding the contract and was about to leave, but remembered that there were still some things that she hadn't explained clearly to Liu Huaiqiu, so she turned around again and said to Liu Huaiqiu, "Your assistant is still Xiao Zhu, she will be back this afternoon."

"Your schedule should be arranged tonight. If you have something to do and you can't find me, you can ask Xiao Zhu first."

"Also, your bodyguards are also those two people from before, so you can just go on as before."

Yao Zhiyi gave instructions quickly.

After listening to Liu Huaiqiu, he smiled and joked, "Sister Yao, don't you worry about me? I'm not a newcomer anymore."

Yao Zhiyi also smiled, "I'm afraid that you might forget something and feel embarrassed to tell me."

"Mr. Gu was afraid that you might not be used to strangers, so he specially transferred them all back."

"It's better if you're fine. You watch first, and I'll sort out these contracts."

Yao Zhiyi only wanted to report Liu Huaiqiu's movements to Gu Lichuan, completely forgetting that the relationship between Liu Huaiqiu and Gu Lichuan had deteriorated.

When Liu Huaiqiu heard Gu Lichuan's name, the smile suddenly froze on his face.

He lowered his head, fell silent, and did not speak again.

Yao Zhiyi didn't notice anything unusual about Liu Huaiqiu, she just thought Liu Huaiqiu was reading the script.

Then, he left the office without saying a word.

*

As soon as Yao Zhiyi went out, she was choked by the pungent smell of smoke, and couldn't help coughing.

Hearing the sound, Gu Lichuan looked up, put out the cigarette on the ashtray of the trash can, and walked over with a sullen face.

"Finished talking?"

"After the chat, Xiao Qiu is still reading the script inside."

Yao Zhiyi handed the contract in front of Gu Lichuan, "Mr. Gu, these are endorsements signed by Xiao Qiu. He is still reading the script. He should tell me the result this afternoon."

"When the time comes, I'll talk to the director of the script."

Gu Lichuan flipped through the contract casually, paused for a few seconds at the place Liu Huaiqiu signed, and said coldly: "Well, then you will go to the finance department later and ask them to pay these endorsement manufacturers."

Yao Zhiyi agreed, "Okay, is there anything else Mr. Gu can do?"

Gu Lichuan thought for a while, and said: "When Qiuqiu's endorsement comes out, remember to notify the public relations to control the comments, and he must not let him see those bad comments."

"Yes."

"Go ahead, I'll go in and see him."

Gu Lichuan raised his head and stared at the closed door for a long time with dark eyes.

Then, with heavy steps, he walked to the door.

As if making a huge determination, he slowly opened the door.

When Gu Lichuan saw Liu Huaiqiu who was sitting on the sofa, looking down at the script seriously, he didn't dare to step forward for a while.

Liu Huaiqiu sensed a strong gaze staring at him, so he raised his head and looked towards the door.

With just one glance, Liu Huaiqiu was immediately upset, and called out indifferently, "Mr. Gu."

Gu Lichuan heaved a sigh of relief, put on a gentle smile, and sat opposite Liu Huaiqiu, "Have you finished reading Xiaoqiu?"

"Is there a script you like? If you don't like it, I can ask Yao Zhiyi to find a new script for you."

Liu Huaiqiu refused, "No need, thank you Mr. Gu."

"I like all these scripts."

Liu Huaiqiu didn't lie, he really thanked Gu Lichuan and really liked these scripts.

The scripts that Yao Zhiyi found for him were all big directors in the industry, even if he was not banned, he might not be able to receive plays from these well-known directors.

But thank you, thank you, it still can't change that he hates Gu Lichuan.

Gu Lichuan looked at Liu Huaiqiu tenderly, "No, this is what I should do, as long as Xiaoqiu likes it."

Liu Huaiqiu lowered his head and continued to read the script, ignoring Gu Lichuan.

Gu Lichuan didn't care about Liu Huaiqiu's indifference, he just stared at Liu Huaiqiu.

The huge office suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere began to become a little heavy.

Liu Huaiqiu couldn't ignore Gu Lichuan's naked eyes, and finally raised his head unbearably, and asked, "Is there anything else for Mr. Gu?"

"I want to treat you to dinner this afternoon. I wonder if Xiaoqiu has time?"

Liu Huaiqiu frowned subconsciously, and refused if he wanted to: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I don't have time."

"Xiaoqiu, I don't mean anything else, it's just..." Gu Lichuan's tone was a bit humble.

"I really don't need Mr. Gu. If I go out to eat alone with other people, my boyfriend Hong Yu will be unhappy if he finds out."
