Chapter 589: Ice Cream

ect, for the sake of caution, she would send Zhou Ming a copy of her due diligence report every time she finished writing it. 。Zhou Ming was also responsible for a lot himself. He would check her rep...She's been on the set these days, and she constantly runs into Xu Zhao again. She still tries to avoid him as much as possible so as not to get upset. Fortunately, they are both very busy and don't have many interactions. When they do meet, they politely greet each other before leaving.

Gu Ruandong, after returning from the west, rushed back to Senzhou to handle work for two days before going to the film and television base. He made a special arrangement to arrive during dinner time.

In the restaurant, Yao Yao's assistant was a bit anxious at this time. Watching Yao Yao and Xu Zhao sitting together for dinner, there was no sign of ending anytime soon, making her increasingly worried.

These two people rarely eat together on a normal day, but coincidentally today, since Gu Shao is coming back, they just happen to be eating together.

Yes, the assistant is now Young Master Gu's eyes and ears. After all, she's a die-hard fan of his. Young Master Gu asked her for information, and she told him everything truthfully. Of course, this assumes that Young Master Gu has no ill intentions towards Yao Yao, and it would only add fuel to the fire for their relationship.

Maybe she was too anxious, showing it all over her face. She stared at Xu Zhao and the food in her plate, almost saying: "Hurry up and finish, that's enough. A female celebrity doesn't need to clean their plate."

Xu Zhao noticed her "expectant" gaze and smiled: "Want some of mine Or should I get you another one"

The attitude is too good, too gentle.

The assistant immediately felt ashamed and embarrassed. She hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no need, thank you, Teacher Xu. Please eat slowly."

Lu YaoYao, in front of Xu Zhao, learned the most important lesson: to keep silent. Otherwise, she would be the one who got angry in the end, so she just sat there, slowly eating her vegetable salad.

Xu Zhao doesn't talk much, and occasionally takes the initiative to chat with her a few sentences.

She is shooting this now.

The drama was previously facing financial difficulties because Gu Shi's Dongyang Entertainment pulled out their investment. At the time, she refused offers from other film and television companies to invest, wanting to handle it herself. However, when the Xu family encountered problems, her funds became less readily available than before. Meanwhile, those film and television companies that had previously been eager to invest now adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

As a result, this big-budget production had to cut costs in post-production due to funding issues. After Xu Zhao returned to the set, he filmed while also relying on his old connections to raise funds. But what can be said, human relationships and interests are very complicated. Most people are willing to help when things are going well, but few are willing to lend a hand when someone is in need.

The director and producer wanted her to seek further investment from Dongyang Film. After all, both their previous collaborations and the video where he helped her out suggested a good relationship between her and Gu Ruandong.

But Xu Zhao refused, she had her dignity.

At this moment, thinking of the mess in her own crew, she looked at Lu Yao on the opposite side and suddenly felt a surge of emotion: "Yao Yao, I envy you so much."

Yo Yo, I'm so envious of you!

Lu Yaoyao heard this, her knife and fork paused mid-air, she glanced at Xu Zhao across from her.

Opposite Xu Zhaoyou was as exquisite and confident as ever, as if the previous sentence hadn't come from her mouth. But Lu Yaoyao heard it very clearly, Xu Zhao said she envied her.

This sentence means more to her than any affirmation from anyone else, even though she doesn't know what Xu Zhao admires about her.

But she was happy, like a long-standing knot in her heart had been slowly untied.

She was still the same as before, not very good at hiding her emotions. When she was happy, she was just happy, so a smile curved the corner of her lips. If you hadn't seen Gu Ruandong come in >>>

Things would be better.

As the assistant saw that Xu Zhao didn't seem to want to leave, she quietly exited and reported back. She clearly informed YaoYao that she was having dinner with Xu Zhao, and suggested that Mr. Gu best avoid being there.

But Gu Ruandong came over despite seeing the message.

He's naturally thick-skinned and doesn't feel embarrassed easily. Besides, since he's seeing his girlfriend, there's no need to be awkward, nor does he care if Xu Zhao is present.

Lu Yaoyao subconsciously glanced at Xu Zhao across from her, and the empty seat next to him, as soon as she saw him coming over.

Gu Ruandong walked straight over and stood before her, only looking at her, not at Xu Zhao.

"Have a seat and order."

He gestured for her to sit inside, making space for her, wanting to sit beside her.

Lu YaoYao remained still and coldly said, "Mr. Gu, we are not familiar with each other, it's inappropriate for you to sit here."

Whether you can get over this hurdle is a matter of time.

Xu Zhao glanced at the empty seat beside her and said deliberately, “Gu Shao, we're pretty familiar with each other, why don't you sit here I don't mind.”

Gu Ruandong's face darkened, he placed the small box he was carrying on the table, and looked at Lu Yaoyao, "Aren't you going to give me a seat"

He bent down slightly and directly supported her waist, moving her whole person to the inside position. He was domineering and savage; Lu Yaoyao didn't even react before she was sitting in the inside position. He sat outside, unable to leave even if he wanted to.

Xu Zhao was just across from her. Lu Yaoyao's face flushed red, and she lowered her head, her forehead resting against the desk, refusing to look up. For a moment, she forgot that Gu Ruandong was already her ex-boyfriend. She could have directly accused him of harassment for what he had just done.

Gu Ruandong took the dishes from in front of her own desk and opened the box he had just brought. Xu Zhao glanced at it, and it turned out to be several boxes of ice cream.

Ling.

"Yaoyao, what flavor do you want to eat"

He used one finger to press against her forehead, applying just enough pressure to lift her head.

Lu Yaoyao looked up and saw several boxes of ice cream in front of her, exactly the same as the ones she had at her house before. Even the outer packaging was identical.

This ice cream isn't sold here, so he must have brought it specially from Morizuo.

Lu Yaoyao's pride and dignity almost crumbled, but she still turned her head away. She wouldn't eat if she didn't want to. She wasn't the love-struck fool who obsessed over ice cream all day long before, nor was she someone who would rush over at his beckoning.

Across from him, Xu Zhao glanced at the ice cream. He almost joked, "If you don't like it, I'll take it," but then thought better of it. It wasn't a suitable thing to say, so he just smiled and said goodbye to Yao Yao before leaving to give them space.

Actually, although Gu Ruandong didn't explain his relationship with Xu Zhao further, he made it very clear just now in front of both of them who was right and who was wrong.

The assistant, who had been silently observing from the side table, instantly understood. She now knew why Gu Shaoxu hurried over when she told him that Zhao was also there. Wasn't this the best opportunity to clear things up There was no need for a big fuss.

Lu Yaoyao also wanted to leave, but she just couldn't take her eyes off the ice cream in front of her.

Gu Ruandong: “Really won't eat I brought it specially from Senzhou, if you don't eat it soon, it will melt.”

Just a few boxes of ice cream, carefully transported all the way here in a special insulated cooler.

The assistant, having spent so much time with her, understood her best. Seeing that she didn't respond, she quickly walked over to say...

"Yaoyao didn't dare to eat too much in the evening, I brought it back to the hotel and put it in the fridge, I'll eat it tomorrow."

Saying that, he put the ice

I'm going to check in and head back to the hotel first.hat was almost imperceptible. Who else could it be Only Ting Lan would dare to do this harmless prank.A smile spread across his face, and just before the screen behind him shut off, a glimpse of his...
