Chapter 251: No One Can Save You
Qu Qi immediately guessed it, after all, it wasn't the first or second time Emperor Qi secretly sent flowers, and she instantly showed a 'I've been hit' expression.
"From Emperor Qi?"
As soon as she said this, she was glared at by Dai Qian.
Gu Zhi didn't react much, glanced at the card on the flowers, then opened the door and let them put things down before leaving.
The flowers were indeed sent by Qi Hanyu, twelve cappuccino roses, bright and elegant, with a faint fragrance.
Gu Zhi went to the kitchen, took a bag of pre-packaged dumplings from the fridge, and then went next door to knock.
A few seconds later, the door opened from the inside, and a familiar figure came out, wearing gray loungewear and wire-rimmed glasses, looking casual yet dashing, pleasing to the eye.
Seeing her, a hint of surprise crossed his face, "Back already?"
Gu Zhi nodded, "Thank you for the flowers," and then handed him the dumplings in her hand, "These are from my parents, they asked me to bring some to you as thanks for your care earlier."
Qi Hanyu glanced down, the smile at the corner of his eyes deepened as he reached out and took them, looking at her meaningfully, "It would have been better without the latter part."
"But still, thank you to Uncle and Auntie's thoughtfulness."
Gu Zhi: "..."
Qi Hanyu lifted the dumplings in his hand, "Want to have some together?"
"No need, I've already eaten at the celebration banquet tonight."
Qi Hanyu nodded, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes, and he said softly, "Happy filming wrap. What's next for you?"
"Joining the crew for 'Little Alley Lady' and a few unfinished variety shows." Gu Zhi looked at him and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back and rest."
Qi Hanyu nodded, watched her turn around, his thin lips moved, but he couldn't help but speak, "Gu Zhi."
Gu Zhi paused and looked back at him.
"Nothing..." Qi Hanyu pursed his lips slightly, his voice low, "Rest well, it's good that you're okay."
Gu Zhi felt a bit inexplicable, yet guessed something, but didn't ask further, nodded, and then walked straight back.
Qi Hanyu leaned against the door frame, watching the door opposite close.
Should he push Tang Jin's progress a bit...
Gu Zhi didn't think much of it, because she was tired enough to sleep until dawn.
Early in the morning, she went to shoot a commercial with Qu Qi.
Gu Zhi was already familiar with the process, handling various brand endorsements with ease, able to capture different moods and atmospheres effortlessly, significantly improving the shooting efficiency.
The director shooting for her couldn't help but praise repeatedly, "Teacher Gu Zhi's cooperation is excellent! She can master any type, has a great camera sense, and I'm suddenly looking forward to Teacher Gu Zhi's movie!"
The finished shoots they produced were almost like film scenes.
A newcomer able to accurately capture the director's desired scenes and atmosphere, it was conceivable her films would not be bad.
The director naturally didn't know that these experiences were also gained by Gu Zhi through years of hard work.
After shooting commercials for several days, the behind-the-scenes and various materials were also uploaded online.
Fans were ecstatic, who wouldn't love an idol with good resources and high productivity?
Seeing the commercial brands shot by Gu Zhi, they were even more shocked.
"Wow, so many endorsements in just a few days? Gu Zhi is on track to soar!"
"Out of five endorsements, three are high luxury, she's winning big, and it seems like they were previously set for Gu Yiyi/eating melon."
"The fake heiress steals the real one's life, the real heiress takes the fake one's endorsements, fair enough. Who doesn't know the fake heiress' side has been terminated by major brands?
"Some people get endless endorsements, others have no resources left, just say self-destruction is irreversible/dog head."
"So is 'Dear Family' finished? No, please let the Gu and Qi families stop shooting, let other families continue, we love to watch/kisses."
"Ahhh my girl looks so good in commercials, go duck!! Buy buy!!"
Under the leaked Weibo posts, there were praises and blessings everywhere.
Gu Yiyi clutched her phone, scrolling page by page, her hatred undisguised.
In recent days, almost all her endorsements had been terminated, some brands even preferred to pay compensation just to end their contracts with her!
And just after one brand terminated with her, they turned to Gu Zhi to be their spokesperson!
She never expected Gu Zhi could be so despicable, even pulling out DNA tests as solid evidence, deliberately exposing it on a show to confirm and blow up the matter!
This time, there was no company or PR to suppress the trending searches for her.
The Gu Group was now on the brink of collapse, and the money she had was far from enough to buy marketing!
Her agent, seeing her in such a state, was even more helpless.
Looked extremely impatient.
"You could even play such a good hand like this, if you had admitted to me earlier that you were a fake heiress, you wouldn't be in this situation now!"
She had a hunch about the matter before and asked Gu Yiyi several times, but was denied by her.
Otherwise, she could have had a plan in advance to handle the exposure!
But she never expected that every incident surrounding Gu Yiyi would catch her off guard!
No time to prepare a response!
Plus, with the incident at the Gu Group, Gu Yiyi was being pushed down by everyone, all sorts of negative news came out!
Upon hearing this, Gu Yiyi's face turned pale, glaring at her fiercely, "You're the fake heiress! Don't say that word to me, I don't want to hear it!"
In recent days, she had heard it too many times!
The agent looked at her but weakly furrowed her brows.
"In these days, don't go anywhere, don't attend any events, or you'll only make things uglier!"
She advised her to restrain herself back then, but she didn't listen, always arrogant with her Gu Family heiress status.
Gu Yiyi was stunned for a moment, looking down at her: "Is that family variety show really over? Or is the production team not letting me go? Damn it, they better remember that I was the one who brought investment to this program and brought them attention, and now they want to kick me out, no way!"
"Not yet, still waiting for news from the production team, reportedly it's paused for a week." The agent sighed, "Honestly, unless the Gu Group revives or your few dad and brothers get out from where they are, no one can save you!
Of course, another way is to get recognized by the Qin Family, have them forgive you. But I doubt they would acknowledge you either."
Hearing this, Gu Yiyi was stunned, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
Get recognized by the Qin Family?
What status does the Qin Family have, why should she need their recognition!?
But...
Gu Yiyi's expression turned ugly, cast a cold glance at her, "How do you know they won't recognize me? If you can't speak wisely, don't speak at all!"
