CH 4

After Gu Jinmian finished half of the phone calls in the form, it was already late, and the butler asked him to eat dinner.

He put down his mobile phone with a feeling that it was still not enough. He licked his lips, and thought that he was quite suitable to be an agent.

Or, how about acting as an agent for his cub?

If the Gu family agrees…it seems to be a good choice.

However, this is a future matter. Just now, he made use of his brother’s status, it’s now time to get in touch with them and cultivate some feelings….

And because he needs money.

The Gu family naturally was not short on money, and the owner never lacked money. However, he just invested tens of millions on a TV drama, and also on a large-scale movie with hundreds of millions of dollars. Even in his current status, it would still be difficult to come up with so much working capital.

He still needed help from the family.

In fact, a Second brother was enough. In the novel “Entertainment First”, Gu Lifan holds the city’s economic lifeline and manages half of the Gu family’s money bag.

Also, this was not spending money, it’s an investment, and it was a project that he was sure to make money. If he grinds it earnestly with Second brother, he should be able to grind it well.

Gu Jinmian followed the butler through for the most part of the manor. The scenery comparable to a 5A-level scenic spot failed to make him stop for even a second. He pondered with a paralyzed face all the way about how to persuade his Second brother to help him invest.

In the huge manor, only Gu Lifan and Gu Jinmian were eating a meal.

Their parents went abroad for a vacation, and the Eldest brother was also abroad. The Eldest brother often engaged in political social activities at night, and the people from their father’s elder and younger brother’s side that lived in this manor, also did not come to the table to eat with them.

Gu Jinmian breathed a sigh of relief, if so many people came at once, he would not be able to handle it.

When he arrived, the Second brother was on his mobile phone and was smiling strangely. After seeing Gu Jinmian, he hurriedly turned off the phone and put it in his pocket, showing a guilty conscience in his actions.

Gu Jinmian looked at him suspiciously.

The hairdresser had cut his hair, following Second Young Master Gu’s orders: No buzzcut, and only cut it short as much as possible according to the Little Master’s request.

Without the long hair covering the forehead, his bright white forehead and pure almond eyes were revealed, even the gloomy temperament was reduced by half.  However Gu Lifan thought it was cute, he couldn’t help but want to take a picture and post it in the group.

He had just sent a picture of Gu Jinmian in the family group, and it immediately blew up everyone from all over the world.

The whole family seemed to see hope.

Mom sent an emoji with a cat covering her mouth and crying, expressing her tears of joy, but told him and the Eldest to take good care of Mianmian and not let the fire of hope die out.

Gu Jinmian took a seat under the strange gaze of the Second brother. After eating for a while, he said, “Second brother, I want to invest.”

“Really? Great! Second brother will set up an investment company for you.”

Gu Jinmian: “…..”

He thought that if he wanted money, he would have to grind, but he didn’t expect him to set up an investment company for him?

In the book, Gu Jinmian relied on the Gu family, especially to his brothers, to act recklessly, but Gu Jinmian was not even a main supporting character. The author, He Bujin, didn’t explain in detail why the Gu family allowed him to do something so wrong, and spoiled him so much, even though he was a pervert.

Gu Jinmian remembered that in the later period, some readers actually discussed the role of “Gu Jinmian” in the book.

He Bujin’s books were not brainless and only cool writing. His pen’s sharp nib had a bloody smell and even if he wrote freely, not one was spared. No one could illogically go all the way smoothly.

In this play, even the author’s own son, the male protagonist, had suffered a lot, but this perverted villain was safe and sound in the end. Everyone else had been splattered with blood, yet he was the only one that was left unscathed.

When readers discuss, some people say: This was reality, the privilege of a powerful person.

Some readers also said: He Bujin intentionally let it go.

Among these people, some even regarded that Gu Jinmian was a special existence created by He Bujin in the book, and they watched it with relish secretly.

At that time, Gu Jinmian only wanted to complain. Why was He Bujin being so cruel to his family, but instead covering up this pervert? I’m afraid he has some psychological problems.

Now Gu Jinmian felt a little fortunate and more curious. Was this a reality that He Bujin didn’t write down and still intentionally let go. Why did the Gu family treat him so well, was it just because of family affection, or was it only a short-term protection?

“I don’t want a company, I just want to invest in a few movies and TV series.”

Even though he knew that he could make money, Gu Jinmian still felt embarrassed when facing the unconditional trust and love of his Second brother.

Transmigrating inside a character inside a book was better than transmigrating as your own person. At least, he didn’t have to replace another person and take away other people’s lives, but instead let the character come to life. However, Gu Jinmian wouldn’t simply enjoy everything for granted.

Because of Yin Moshu, he did not regard any person in the book as a paper person without emotion before he transmigrated, but now, the world felt very alive in front of him.

They were all people with souls, and the emotions these people gave were worth cherishing.

“Brother, I will give you all the money I earn.”

The boy didn’t know if he was embarrassed or not, his head was almost buried in the bowl, and the heat made his eyelashes moist.

Gu Lifan’s soft heart was in a mess. That moment, he had already made a decision that no matter how much his brother losses, he would shoulder it all.

“What are you doing, your brother won’t be able to spend all his money in a lifetime.”

Gu Lifan added, “Don’t worry too much, you still have studies to take care of, do you want my secretary to help you?”

He’s already in his senior year, yet he’s unconcerned about his academics.

Gu Jinmian shook his head quickly, “No, I want to do it myself.”

After watching for a while, the old butler, who was very satisfied, smiled and said, “I can also help the Little Master.”

“Yes, don’t you also like celebrities? The butler studies every day and becomes a know-it-all when it comes to the entertainment industry.” Gu Lifan said, “He’s no worse than a secretary and a star-chasing fan girl!”

Gu Jinmian: “…..”

That was really a hardworking butler, even if the corners of his head were already white.

After dinner, he had now money and people, and when he came back to his room, the bed was changed for him.

Gu Jinmian laid on the comfortable bed, thinking back on what happened today, still feeling that it was magical.

The manor was surrounded by a ring of trees, which isolated the noise from the outside, making it especially quiet at night.

The faint fragrance of peony flowers drifted into the room along the gaps in the window screens, disturbing the peace between reality and dream, and pulling Gu Jinmian back from the illusory assumption that all of what’s happening was just a dream.

Maybe I won’t be able to see my Dad again.

He accepted this fact, turned over in resignation, and looked out the window.

He was in a world that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

In this world, his only consolation at present was his cub.

He would love to see him.

Today, upon witnessing “himself” and seeing Du Bai’an, when merely words were transformed into real characters, a feeling of freshness and astonishment came to him.

What about Yin Moshu?

Gu Jinmian closed his eyes, the author’s description of Yin Moshu was clearly imprinted in his mind, but he could not imagine what a real person was like in front of him.

The Gu family was especially efficient in doing things and it goes without saying that the things the Little Master wanted were also given fast.

****

At nine o’clock the next morning, the manager of the X-S boy group came to the dormitory and called up the five people inside.

The X-S boy group was a group with only a two year contract, which was particularly difficult to carry. Before the people even debuted from the talent show, some of them already had their own companies and agents. After forming the new group, the program then signed up a new agent for the team as a whole. If the two sides were not well-coordinated, work would be very difficult to promote, and the phenomenon of appearing in harmony on the surface but divided privately would become common.

Li Yuan was the agent the program signed up to the X-S boy group. Her goal was to make the whole group develop better and better. She always did her best to let each member get the best resources, and did a good job in coordinating the team too.

However, there were always things beyond her control.

Five big boys came to the living room one after another and took their seats on the sofa opposite her.

The last one to come was Yin Moshu.

He brought a glass of water over, and sat lazily on the sofa, obviously participating, but also feeling seemingly out of it.

Li Yuan frowned, thinking of what she was going to say next, and sighed again.

“The director of “Autumn River” called me and asked Du Bai’an to go and audition for the first male lead role.”

The four of them looked at her at the same time, only Yin Moshu remained unmoved. His eyes fell on his legs, as if there were some interesting stories hidden in those legs.

The drama “Autumn River” was a relatively good resource that they could get at the moment. Although it was an online drama, it had a relatively good IP and had the potential of becoming popular. It was originally meant for Bai Xinyu, who made the first public appearance among the group.

Unexpectedly, the crew ask for Du Bai’an directly.

Naturally, there was something fishy about it.

The atmosphere had a fleeting subtlety.

Du Bai’an didn’t look at other people’s expressions, and said “Okay” calmly.

His face was calm. Before doing this, he was ready to face the eyes of others, and he knew that this kind of thing could not be concealed.

One of the team members said angrily, “What about Brother Xinyu?”

Li Yuan said, “Bai Xinyu, let’s try “A Gift of Time”.”

As the words fell, there was silence again.

“Autumn River” and “A Gift of Time” were both dramas from the program they debuted on. The former was more anticipated and was originally meant for Bai Xinyu, while the latter was for the very popular Yin Moshu. Now “Autumn River” was taken away by Du Bai’an halfway, and “A Gift of Time” was given to Bai Xinyu to try, in the end, Yin Moshu was left with nothing.

The other two members, who originally only had some variety shows and fashion resources, were a little dissatisfied before, but they were fortunate now, at least they still have something.

Du Bai’an didn’t expect things to develop like this. He was a little nervous. He was about to open his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say, then eventually closed it again.

At this time, waiting for another wasn’t suitable for him.

No one said anything, they all knew that Bai Xinyu was not only popular, but also had a great background, and no one wanted to offend him.

Bai Xinyu frowned, “Isn’t this not okay?”

“There’s nothing wrong with it, go ahead.” It was Yin Moshu who spoke.

He had finished drinking the water and put the glass on top of the table. When he said this, his eyes fell on Bai Xinyu and he smiled.

No matter who saw it, it could be noticed that Yin Moshu did not force a smile. The result would be an ugly smile if one pretended not to care, but he really wasn’t.

He didn’t seem to really care, and when he looked at Bai Xinyu, there was no displeasure in his eyes.

He was born with a pair of auspicious phoenix eyes, long and narrow, deep eye sockets and thin eyelids, and the ends of the eyes were elegantly upturned, with a natural air of merely treating life as playing games.

He didn’t know why but this air of merely treating life as playing games had a sense of someone that had been looking down from above.
