Chapter 1287 We Will Not Take Part In The Activity
Lin Che actually had pleasant features.
In the entertainment industry, being pretty did not mean an automatic track to popularity. This is because even if you were beautiful, people still did not like seeing them.
Some, on the other hand, appealed to people as they found them pleasant-looking.
Hence, with many pretty faces in the entertainment industry, many directors did not comment on the beauty of the ladies anymore but rather, they would remark on whether they were pleasant looking.
Lin Che belonged to that category of women who were pleasing to the eye.
Lin Che had not even played a few supporting roles and was offered a lead role. She then shot to fame in an instant and it had a lot to do with her looks. With features like hers, she had many doors open in the film industry. She could play the role of any age and era.
Wu Yufei had very delicate features and if she acted in a drama, she would seem too young for it. With her doll-like face, there would be some disadvantages.
On the bright side, she had been playing the same type of role ever since her debut. She was still as popular as the audience was not sick of seeing her face yet.
Gu Jingze looked on and someone at the side asked, “Who’s going to take part in the activity? Who would like to take part in the activity with Wu Yufei?”
The staff had already specifically chosen a participant beforehand. They wanted someone who looked not too shabby or humourous enough to bring up the atmosphere. By doing so, it would prevent any embarrassment.
At a glance, the staff noticed Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze stood there in the open. His proud demeanor was eye-catching.
Lin Che blended in with the crowd and managed to go unnoticed.
“Hey, how about this handsome guy over here? Come on up.”
The staff felt that with his good looks, it would be a waste to not be a celebrity.
Gu Jingze only glanced up. “No thanks.”
The staff did not expect his immediate rejection. “Oh, don’t be shy. You get to meet Wu Yufei up close. Have a try.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
He pulled Lin Che who was at his side. “My wife wouldn’t like me getting close to another woman who isn’t as good-looking as her.”
“…”
The staff thought that he was singing his wife’s praises.
He was too good with his words.
His wife would be happy to death.
He even said that Wu Yufei, a celebrity, could not be compared to his wife.
At that moment, the staff saw that the person from behind lifted her head slightly and nodded.
Those eyes…
By looking at those soft eyes, it left one’s heart beating.
She started to look familiar…
With only those eyes, they were enough to mesmerize…
Then, the staff decided not to go into speculation any longer.
“Oh, then… how about both of you come up?”
“No, thank you.” Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che along and walked over.
The staff was left wondering after the two of them disappeared.
“That person just now… that person… seemed familiar. Who was that…”
Someone else interrupted his thoughts and asked, “Why are you still standing here? You should be finding someone else.”
“Oh, no, no. The good-looking guy and the beautiful lady. That lady looked especially familiar….”
“What do you mean familiar? Your relative?”
“Of course not. I think she’s a celebrity.”
“I think you’ve been seeing too many celebrities.”
“I’m serious… Ah, Lin Che.”
That look and expression, it was undoubtedly of Lin Che’s.
“What? Lin Che? How can it be?”
“It’s true. You can go take a look if you don’t believe me. It really looks like Lin Che.”
A few people looked but could only see the tall silhouette of the man. There were too many people and Lin Che disappeared within the crowd.
“What are you all doing, taking so long to return?” Wu Yufei was running out of patience. The staff was taking their own sweet time. She had hoped for a quick appearance on stage and yet, it was still not over after some time.
“Sister Yufei, I think we just saw Lin Che and she was with a man.”
Wu Yufei was turned off at hearing Lin Che’s name. The company had her cutting close to Lin Che, as if they wanted to use her to fight against Lin Che.
It made Wu Yufei feel very stressed.
At first, when Wu Yufei first entered the entertainment industry, she had the same hopes as every other artist. She hoped that she could gain some fame, play a few roles, and that would be good enough.
However, after taking one step at a time and being groomed by her company to become one of the notable artistes, she had become a Queen of the screens. Her ambitions became bigger.
All her achievements were only possible with the pressure that came along, especially so when the company always compared her to Lin Che.
She had no other choice and did not dare to go against or defy the company.
Neither could she say that she did not want to be compared with Lin Che. Hence, in her turmoil of stress, her temperament got worse.
Being under constant stress and with no avenue to relieve it, the only way for her was to take it out on others.
The staff realized that she was getting more temperamental and if they were not careful, she would erupt.
Some thought that she was throwing a tantrum.
Oh yes, she wanted to throw a tantrum. However, the aim of her throwing a tantrum was just to vent her frustrations.
She originally had a good temperament. She would not retaliate if someone were to say unpleasantries. Now however, she had been morphed into being as cold as stone.
Sometimes, she hated her own face and did not know what to do.
If she did not vent out her frustrations, she would die of oppression.
When she heard Lin Che’s name, she almost lost her cool. Even backstage, they were still talking about Lin Che being with a man.
“A man? Who? Gu Jingyu?”
“Oh, he looked very similar but it was most likely not Gu Jingyu.”
Wu Yufei immediately got up and went out looking.
She was out looking for quite some time and with the help of some staff, she finally caught up with Lin Che’s shadow.
It was indeed Lin Che, no doubt.
She could recognize her immediately. How could she not when she was so obsessed?
But who was that man?
She looked long and hard and did not think it was someone from the entertainment circle. There was no man who had that stature.
Wu Yufei looked for quite some time before returning to the activity location.
Lin Che followed Gu Jingze and went home.
In the car, Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che at ease and smiled. “Alright, when is the drama airing on the television?”
“The day after. The activity and the first stage of the competition will begin.”
“Oh, do your best.”
“Yes yes. I can only take my shot since we’re already at this stage.”
