Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Everybody was happy with the good viewership and nobody cared about whether Qin Wanwan apologized or not. As it was getting late, Lin Che prepared to head home.

Everybody filed out and bid farewell to Lin Che. The following activities were going to be intense and they were only just starting to get busy.

When she got home, Gu Jingze was still not back yet. Lin Che guessed that Gu Jingze was also busy because it was the end of the year. Thus, she rested in the bedroom and scrolled through Weibo comments while she prepared to sleep.

Gu Jingyu joined in the commotion and sent a Wechat message to Lin Che saying, “Not bad. I saw that the viewer rating was acceptable. You can graduate now. Even without me as your Master, you can be a good performer.”

Lin Che replied speechlessly to Gu Jingyu, “Yes, thank you, Master, for your guidance all this time. I’m thankful for you...”

“If you’re really thankful, treat me out for a meal some time. There’s no point in merely paying lip service.”

Lin Che saw Gu Jingyu’s reply and thought that it was strange. She asked Gu Jingyu, “It’s going to be New Years soon. Aren’t you going back home to celebrate?”

Gu Jingyu asked, “How do you know I’m not going back?”

“I don’t know. I’m just asking.”

“I haven’t gone back for a few years. I don’t have this habit,” Gu Jingyu said.

Lin Che asked in puzzlement, “Why?”

“Because I’m not on good terms with my family. Haven’t you heard of rebellious people? I’m one of them. What’s wrong?”

“Did something happen between you and your family that made your relationship bad?” Lin Che asked.

“You’re so concerned with my affairs. Should I be flattered?” Gu Jingyu started to become thick-skinned again.

Lin Che said, “A disciple should be concerned about her Master!”

“Fine, I just knew that I didn’t have a place in your heart!” he remarked coquettishly and then continued. “Something happened many years ago. It wasn’t a big thing, but I’m still not used to going back. Maybe in a few years when it doesn’t really matter anymore, I’ll go back. Maybe then, things will be okay.”

Lin Che held her phone and looked at the string of texts. Her heart grew more curious but if she really probed, she would feel like she was going overboard in finding out the Gu family’s affairs. Thus, even if she was curious about Gu Jingyu’s relationship with the Gu family, she never asked Gu Jingze about it. She didn’t want to be too nosey.

Seeing Gu Jingyu say all this, she gained the courage to reply, “Don’t tell me that it has something to do with women? Hehehe.”

Gu Jingyu didn’t reply for a long time. When Lin Che thought that he stopped replying, Gu Jingyu suddenly texted, “But of course. This young master is a romantic!”

He wasn’t serious.

However, Lin Che held her phone and wondered if it was really because of women.

It would be so unexpected for Gu Jingyu to be this stubborn. Did he really stop contacting his family because of women?

However, he was actually rather influential in his own field. Naturally, given the Gu family’s environment, all of their three sons were outstanding.

Lin Che thought that Mu Wanqing must be pleased.

Even so, what Gu Jingyu said was right. What she had today had everything to do with Gu Jingyu’s care. She should indeed treat him to a meal.

The next day, the viewership continued to climb. The company’s CEO personally called Lin Che to congratulate her and invite her to attend the company’s annual meeting.

Lin Che heard this and immediately agreed. She happily thanked the CEO for his appreciation.

After they hung up, Lin Che was still in bliss.

Beside her, Gu Jingze watched it all and couldn’t help but laugh, “Why are you so happy?”

Lin Che lied down and said to Gu Jingze, “Of course I’m happy. The CEO personally called me and invited me to the company’s annual meeting.”

“And then?” Gu Jingze said disapprovingly.

“Only the very popular stars are invited to our company’s annual meeting. Our company may not seem like a big deal to you but it is a strong contender in our sector. It raised many big stars. Thus, there are plenty of celebrities in our company. This is the first time I got invited to this meeting and I even got a personal invitation from the CEO.”

Lin Che was so elated that she started humming a tune.

Gu Jingze looked at her. He saw how happy she was and he helplessly shook his head.

Her company still did not know about Lin Che and Gu Jingze’s relationship. It was indeed not easy for her to progress this far on her own.

Although Gu Jingze did help her get an opportunity at the beginning, if she truly wasn’t capable, she wouldn’t have become popular either.

She had many likable traits and she was always her true self. It was never an act.

Gu Jingze said, “With your intelligence, it’s indeed not easy for you to be where you are today.”

“Hey! I rely on my abilities. My abilities, you understand?”

“That’s right. So you see, Heaven is still fair. Your intelligence is limited but luckily, you scored full marks in body and face. That’s why you’re able to act.”

“Bastard! Can’t you praise me properly?” Lin Che jumped up in anger.

Gu Jingze said, “Okay, okay. Don’t jump about. Am I not praising you now? You’re so demanding. You need to be humble. Humble, get it? Why do you need to be praised for no reason?”

Gu Jingze got up and headed out. He suddenly remembered something and turned around to say, “We need to go back to the Gu family for New Year’s. You better not let your work clash with the date.”

“Oh. Don’t worry. I have nothing on for those few days.”

Lin Che smiled cheekily and called Yu Minmin. She happily told her that she was going to attend the annual meeting and that CEO Chen even called her to congratulate her.

Yu Minmin was naturally very happy for her.

“Time for a treat! No point saying anything else. Just treat me will you?” Yu Minmin said.

“Okay, I’ll treat you guys. Get ready and invite everybody I know to come. I’ll treat all of you to a meal.”

Lin Che was feeling happy as she generously gave her word.

Gu Jingze knew of the situation and immediately helped her make reservations. He quickly let his men help her prepare.

Before it got busy at the start of the year, Lin Che gathered Yu Minmin and Shen Youran as well as some colleagues. They quickly reached the restaurant.

When Lin Che arrived, she was impressed by Gu Jingze’s restaurant choice. This was the city’s most famous Japanese restaurant. It was said that the sashimi was flown in from Japan daily. It was extremely fresh.

At the entrance, she saw that Qin Hao was there. He looked at Lin Che and quickly bowed politely to greet her.

Lin Che walked over and said, “Don’t tell me you helped make reservations for me today, Assistant Qin?”

Qin Hao quickly said, “But of course. Sir specially requested for me to oversee things here. Madam’s matters are certainly of the utmost importance to Sir.”

Just then, Shen Youran also came in from behind. She saw Qin Hao and hastily went over to greet him, “Assistant Qin, why are you standing here? Why don’t you go in for a cup of tea? Hehehe.”
