Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Bragging About My Sister
Gu Che attended a party on short notice.
He put on a sour face as soon as he got in the car.
Because it was a last-minute notice, his manager Jin Tong personally came to pick him up.
Seeing him like that, Jin Tong quickly explained, "When you get to the party, don’t carry this attitude. There are quite a few producers and directors there today. No matter how famous you are, you can’t offend them."
Jin Tong had high hopes for his artist.
Gu Che wasn’t just any top celebrity. He debuted as a boy band idol, adept in singing and dancing, releasing singles and holding concerts. More importantly, he was formally trained and began acting in serious dramas right after his debut.
Other idols usually start by acting in youth idol dramas or period dramas, leaving behind some black marks to have a chance to transition.
Gu Che was different; he started with major TV shows, showcasing his acting skills to directors and producers. He later won the Best Actor in a Domestic TV Series award.
If he continues like this, he might sweep the domestic TV awards and even have opportunities to act in films in the future.
With more well-received works, he could solidify his top celebrity status.
Gu Che continued to sulk without acknowledging him.
Jin Tong was a bit puzzled. Gu Che usually just didn’t like talking, but it rarely reached the point where he always wore a scowl. Was there something else?
He looked alarmed, "You didn’t kill time bantering with a hater, did you? I remember you never paid attention to those haters."
Assistant Sun couldn’t hold back any longer.
"No, Gu didn’t..."
"What’s wrong with him? Just say it."
"Ahem," Sun said awkwardly, "Gu watched the show I recorded, and he’s a bit upset. Miaomiao and Director Gu are camping together, and he’s feeling lonely..."
Gu Che glared over, and Sun immediately shut his mouth.
Jin Tong: "..." Are you being childish?
These were words the manager dared not speak.
If Gu Che got angry and bailed, the invitation to the party would go to waste.
The car stopped outside a five-star hotel.
The parking lot was already filled with luxury cars.
Gu Che had recently been very popular, with many people coming to greet him.
Some directors even approached him, expressing interest in having him play the lead, boasting extravagantly about their scripts.
Jin Tong skillfully said, "I usually handle these things. If you don’t mind, you can send the script to me first."
After sending off a group of directors, Jin Tong took several deep breaths.
Gu Che watched with amusement, "So many scripts, are you happy now?"
Jin Tong replied gloomily, "Do they really think I don’t know what dramas they’re planning recently? They’re all cliché idol dramas. No amount of money would make them worth acting in."
They only selected scripts based on quality, not paychecks.
Gu Che chuckled and adjusted the sleeve of his suit jacket.
His actions seemed casual, but Jin Tong still noticed his cufflinks.
"Are those rose gold cufflinks? When did you change your style?"
Gu Che curled his lips, raising his sleeve, "Do they look good?"
Jin Tong commented a few times, confirming they weren’t bad. However, with his keen eye, he could tell it wasn’t expensive. Gu Che usually wore cufflinks for formal occasions that were ten or even a hundred times more expensive.
"Did someone else give them to you?"
Jin Tong asked suspiciously, "You didn’t..."
"Miaomiao gave them to me."
Gu Che tried to remain composed, but the corners of his mouth kept raising.
Ever since his sister gave him the cufflinks, he’d been waiting for this day.
Jin Tong: "Wow, Miaomiao really likes you as a brother. That’s very thoughtful of her."
Gu Che chuckled, "It’s normal for you to feel envious since you don’t have a sister."
Jin Tong: "..."
Every day I doubt my artist has been possessed.
Spotting a few target individuals, Jin Tong led Gu Che to greet them.
His intention was for Gu Che to perform well, even if just exchanging pleasantries.
Instead, the conversation went like this.
"Mr. Gu’s cufflinks are quite unique."
Gu Che: "Thanks, my sister gave them to me. She always has great taste."
"Are you talking about Miaomiao?"
Gu Che: "Yes, she’s working on a Xingyi Boxing instructional video. As soon as she got paid, she bought me a gift."
"Then Miaomiao must really love you as her brother."
Gu Che smiled with pursed lips, with no trace of his previous cool demeanor as a top celebrity.
"By the way, has Miaomiao really apprenticed under a hidden master? Besides Xingyi Boxing, what else can she do?"
"Too many things to count. If you’re interested, I can tell you all about it..."
Jin Tong: ▼_▼
He switched to another person, and a similar conversation occurred.
Again, with another person, a similar conversation happened.

He brought the artist to network with the big shots, not to show off his sister!
By the second half of the party, he had given up and let Gu Che continue to brag about his sister.
At least this phase would pass, Jin Tong comforted himself, and Gu Che wouldn’t wear those cufflinks to every party.
Giving up, Jin Tong focused on networking himself and unexpectedly discovered Gu Peihai was also present.
Gu Peihai counted as his boss, and seeing the boss definitely required greeting him.
As he approached, he overheard a producer telling Gu Peihai, "Our parenting variety show is very relaxing. If Mr. Gu is willing to bring his sister..."
Sister?
Where did the boss get a sister?
As far as he knew, in Gu Feng’s generation of the Gu Family, there was only one girl, Gu Che’s aunt. In Gu Che’s generation, the only girl was Gu Miaomiao.
The boss intended to take Miaomiao on a variety show?
An iconic Film Emperor and an iconic Little Heroine, this program was bound to explode... no, that’s not the point.
Jin Tong looked back, precisely finding Gu Che, who was still bragging about his sister, and thought to himself: If Gu Che knew his sister was going on a variety show with his cousin, would he cry? Would Gu Cheng lose his temper?
Filming location for the fourth episode of "Go on an Adventure Together."
It was currently the afternoon of the second day of the fourth episode, and there were some issues on set.
The children, accompanied by their parents, ventured out to find food in the endless desert.
However, most of the animals in the desert were protected species and couldn’t be eaten, and the rest were basically poisonous.

The group walked a long way, with slow, heavy steps, finding nothing, each person looking dejected.
At this time, they encountered a caravan of camels.
To be exact, it was a group of tourists, and some recognized Gu Ran, the first-tier female star, while others happened to know some of the children, approaching en masse for autographs, disrupting their program.
Director Chen picked up a loudspeaker to explain to them, suggesting they could get autographs off-camera later without disturbing the guests now.
However, there are always people who don’t care about the occasion.
Most of the tour group gathered around.
The guests were surrounded and couldn’t scold them at will.
The parents usually shielded their children well, at least not letting strangers get too close. But the situation was a little out of control now.
Fu Youyou hid directly behind Fu Guoqiang, who wore a dark expression.
[Speechless, they’re streaming now, and these people rushed in, taking over all the cameras]
[The kids are all frightened]
[The director already said autographs could be done off-camera later]
[Don’t be too harsh, they just want autographs]
[Yeah, it’s normal to want an autograph when you see someone you like]
[Hehe, whether you want an autograph because you really like them or to sell it, you know in your heart]
[Liking someone is about restraint. If you truly like them and see they’re in a bind, you’d surely step outside the camera and wait quietly]
[Anyway, if my idol looked distressed, I’d never make it difficult for them]
