Part Two, *East Earth Big Sugar*, Chapter 12: Dinner Party

faction believes that this is a self-directed and self-acted play by Shu Tinglan, otherwise, Zhuoyuan Technology, including Wen Jian, would not have to destroy themselves for an unknown person.As the..."We are really good at this, aren't we" Shan Shan said with emotion.

It's amazing to see her grow step by step. From when she used to complain about being tired and take half a year off after filming a single drama, to now being pregnant and still not taking a break, she's even more hardworking than me, her assistant. It's truly admirable.

Haojie: "I do have a few good scripts here, but would Gu Shao agree to let you go film After all, it's your honeymoon period."

"My work doesn't need his approval."

Although she might be a lovesick girl, wanting to stick by his side all the time, it doesn't mean she has lost herself. She married him because she loved him, not because she wanted to rely on him. She is also a mature and independent woman, okay

When she said those words with such conviction, Hao Jie and Shan Shan both looked at her in surprise, wondering what she was up to.

She lowered her head silently. Well, she had to admit, all this talk was just nonsense to her. She just wanted to work to pass the time. Otherwise, with Gu Ruantong's busy schedule, she'd probably spend most of her time alone, playing the role of a dutiful wife waiting for her husband to come home. Just thinking about it sent shivers down her spine.

"But it's best to take a modern play, not too tiring, and the crew is in Senzhou, which allows me to go home every day if possible." She emphasized again.

Sister Hao smiled: "That's right, marriage is about compromise and finding a balance."

Then, he flipped out two modern plays from a stack of scripts for her:

This series is currently very popular, with a total of 20 episodes, each about 35 minutes long. It's short and concise, so the filming period is short but it's very well-received in the market and has the potential to be a hit.

This one is a traditional love story, but on a grand scale, with millions of viewers. The female lead character is relatable and similar to your own image and background. Which one would you shoot first

Haojie is efficient and always has things prepared. Lu Yao Yao flipped through the introductions and chose a short drama, one that was relatively challenging.

"Okay, I'll have a meeting with the production team to confirm the specific shooting schedule."

"Okay."

Gu Ruandong sent her a message saying he would pick her up after work and take her out to dinner with his friends. So while she waited for him, she curled up on the company sofa and watched the script of this short drama. The more she read, the more interesting it became. It was about a male lead who had multiple personalities. One of them fell in love with the female lead. Later, the male lead's mental illness was cured, which meant that the personality who loved her disappeared. He was still the same male lead, but the female lead knew that the person she loved was gone forever and wasn't the same person anymore.

This is a tragic story. Lu YaoYao sat on the sofa for a while after finishing it before she could recover.

Just then, Gu Ruandong pushed the door open to meet her. Seeing her red eyes, he asked, “What’s wrong”

"It's fine, this script is really heartwarming."

The touching point is the heroine's final choice. Even though the other person is the same, she clearly knows that it's just the same skin, but different souls. So she chooses to let go instead of clinging to that skin.

She likes the heroine's depth of feeling and decisiveness.

Gu Ruandong took the script from her hand and tousled her hair. "Child."

Unconditional love, only children can have such genuine and pure emotions.

After leaving the company and getting into the car, Lu Yaoyao began to expertly apply makeup, trying her best to appear more mature.

Gu Ruandong said, "It's already beautiful enough, no need to put on makeup anymore."

Although he was hosting the dinner to make amends for the wedding, it didn't have to be so grand.

Lu YaoYao finished applying the last layer of lipstick and turned to answer him, "It's not for grandeur, it's just to make myself seem a little more mature. Otherwise, your friends will think you're abducting a young girl."

This is subtly boasting.

Gu Ruandong smiled faintly, wanting to kiss her lips, but she leaned back to avoid it. She had finally adjusted her lip color and didn't want him to mess it up.

In the Baoli Club, Jin Haoyu, Xu Zefang, and Mr. Wang had already arrived. This time, they didn't choose a private room, but instead held the event in the Baoli Club's banquet hall. Everyone was present with great solemnity, all dressed in suits and ties, as if attending his real wedding.

"To the point that Lu Yaoyao felt ashamed: "Why didn't you say so earlier I could have dressed more formally."

Thinking it was just a normal get-together with his friends, she didn't dress up formally.

Gu Ruandong frowned, knowing these friends were intentional. Because he didn't invite them to his wedding, they were angry but didn't dare say it to his face, so they could only express their dissatisfaction in this way.

The day after his wedding, Xu Ze Fang and a few others got drunk and called him, shouting...

" Shao Gu, for one woman, are you abandoning all of us brothers"

"For a woman, you gave up the empire built with your blood. We never said a word to you about it. But for your wedding, you didn't even invite us. Do you even consider us brothers"

Xu Ze Fang was shouting drunk on the phone, before being dragged away by Jin Hao Yu and his friends, and he hung up the call directly.

Gu Ruandong had started walking the right path and distanced himself from most people in his circle. However, Xu Ze Fang and the other friends he had gone through thick and thin with were still close to his heart. The thing was, his wedding, considering Lu Family's background and the guests invited, it was indeed inconvenient to have them come. Gu Ruandong knew he owed them something on this point.

Xu Ze Fang and Jin Hao Yu and the others wouldn't understand, it's just that they feel sad. There's a sense of being abandoned, so today they all dressed up to attend, with a touch of sarcasm, expressing their dissatisfaction.

In front of Gu Ruandong, this was the utmost expression of their discontent, but they still respected him.

After the dishes were served, Gu Ruandong arranged Lu Yaoyao's seat and then stood up himself. He personally poured wine for them at the table. This was the first time in so many years that he had personally poured wine for them.

After pouring the wine, he returned to his seat.

"To you all, I raise this glass."

He picked up the glass on the table and drank three cups in one go, then smiled at them and said, “Help yourselves.”

Although Xu Ze Fang and the others didn't hear a formal apology, they were deeply touched, knowing that this was Gu Shao's most sincere apology. So, they all stood up, picked up their wine glasses, and drank it down in one gulp.

Sometimes, brotherhood is also very simple. You value me, and I value you in return.

Lu Yao Yao didn't react, she rarely came to this kind of occasion. Besides, everyone at the table looked intimidating. She awkwardly held her wine glass, intending to toast with Gu Ruandong, but was scared by the atmosphere. She wondered whether to drink the wine or not.

Gu Ruan Dong smiled and took her wine glass, replacing it with a glass of juice: "Drink this."

Then, he resumed his usual rogueish demeanor, leaning back in his chair with his hands resting on its back, and addressed the group:

"Shall I introduce myself, or would you like to"

Everyone reacted for a moment, well, they were going to have to introduce themselves to the young lady.aware of the kindness of a true immortal."But he was Lu Kuò, the dictionary had no word for awkwardness, only his ability to make others feel awkward."Mr. Gu, are you sure you want me to answer the qu...
