Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral-Chapter 65: Taking Big Brother to a Variety Show

Qi Hanyu paused briefly, a trace of indistinguishable emotion flashing in his eyes, he smiled faintly, "Could it be that Miss Gu has no confidence in herself?"

Gu Zhi shook her head, of course not, she was just a bit puzzled. Ever since she entered the industry, his help had always surprised her.

Not to mention this series of seemingly loss-making agreements.

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at him and said, "I’m honored to work with Emperor Qi, but I have two conditions: first, the management contract is only signed for one year; after a year, we’ll decide whether to renew it; second, Dai Qian remains my manager."

Qi Hanyu squinted his eyes upon hearing this, the emotions in his eyes were obscure and unclear. After a moment, he replied lightly, "It seems Miss Gu relies heavily on this manager?"

Gu Zhi: "..." What kind of logic is that?

She pressed her lips together and answered truthfully, "He’s a nice person."

Besides, she had no interest in breaking in a new manager.

Qi Hanyu nodded, said nothing further, and handed her a file, "This is the drafted contract, Miss Gu can take a look, I’ve already signed it. If Miss Gu is interested in cooperating, you can sign anytime."

Gu Zhi took it and glanced through it, the signature spaces were all filled and stamped with Shiyu Film and Television’s official seal.

The man’s handwriting was robust and powerful, exuding a transcendent charm, much like his handsome and strong demeanor.

Gu Zhi skimmed through it roughly, the contract terms were flawless, the earnings were also fairly split in the normal 37 fashion. Shiyu Film and Television was responsible for all her notices and work, while she, of course, had to prioritize the company in all her actions.

She had read many types of management contracts. If there were any loopholes, she could spot them at a glance. Emperor Qi’s contract was considered perfect.

To be honest, she was just a low-status celebrity, black and red small star, and Shiyu offering such terms was already a favor.

Gu Zhi only amended the contract term to one year.

After signing, Gu Zhi handed the contract back to him.

Qi Hanyu took it and glanced over, but instead of leaving immediately, he looked at her and asked, "I’ve seen the stuff online, how do you plan to resolve it? You’re clearly the Gu Family’s young lady, why not reveal the truth?"

Gu Zhi paused, then smiled slightly.

"It’s meaningless, I no longer want anything to do with the Gu Family." Even if she revealed the truth, the Gu Family had the ability to turn black into white.

"Moreover, if the other party is giving away heat, I might as well take it. The truth will come out one day."

Qi Hanyu remained silent at these words, feeling an inexplicable sense of heartache.

"The Gu Family is not worth it." He pressed his thin lips tightly together, speaking faintly, "You will become a better version of yourself."

Gu Zhi was slightly stunned, responded with a soft "Mm," and slowly curved her lips.

-

Qi Hanyu acted quickly. Not long after Gu Zhi signed the contract, Dai Qian received an invitation to join Shiyu Film and Television.

Moreover, the terms were much better than those at his previous small company, but the only condition was that he could only manage Gu Zhi as an artist. Besides enjoying the employee benefits of Shiyu Film and Television, his salary would also be paid by Gu Zhi.

After reading the contract and confirming its authenticity with Gu Zhi, Dai Qian signed without hesitation.

After all, this is Mr. Qi’s company! And it’s under the Qi Group!!

Such a company, he wouldn’t be able to get into even if he racked his brains. Now that he had the opportunity, there was no reason to hesitate!!?

However, what puzzled Dai Qian was that Mr. Qi’s company had just completed its project initiation, hadn’t heard about signing artists before, how did Gu Zhi receive an invitation so quickly?

Could it be the advantage of living next door?

Dai Qian felt something was off, even feeling a vague sense of unease, but couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

Soon, it was time to record the third episode of "Dear Family."

Gu Zhi went to the Qin Family. For this episode, she intended to take Qin Ji along, having discussed it with him in advance, and Qin Ji had already asked for leave early on.

Just as she reached the bottom of the Qin Family residence, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.

The voice on the phone was arrogant, Gu Zhi quickly recognized who it was:

"Gu Zhi, I heard that big brother and second brother are accompanying Yiyi to record the program, and I also know you’re deeply mired in rumors with second brother that haven’t been clarified. If you do as I say, I can accompany you to record the program, so you won’t lose face and can clear the rumors with second brother, do you agree?"

Gu Zhi sneered, finding it incomprehensible.

She replied coldly, "Who gave you the right?"

"You!" the other party was left speechless.

But Gu Zhi hung up the phone directly.

The caller was the third young master of the Gu Family, Gu Wenxuan.

Gu Zhi’s impression of him was from the script, a self-assessed genius always considering himself extremely smart, looking down on anyone "inferior" to him.

Perfectly inheriting the "excellent" traditions of the Gu Family.

Gu Zhi didn’t pay much attention, and went straight upstairs.

Knowing she was coming home, the Qin Family had already prepared dinner early on, with a table full of dishes Gu Zhi loved.

This time, not only Qin Ji and Qin Zheng were back, but second brother Qin Yuan and younger brother Qin Mo also returned from school.

The two were very happy to see Gu Zhi.

As soon as Gu Zhi entered the door, Qin Mo, who was initially reading, sprang over and hugged her, "Sis."

The fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager, with a tall and slender figure, exuding elegance and charm, had a youthful face with a hint of expectant joy, mixed with awkwardness and detachment.

Gu Zhi was momentarily stunned, then smiled at him, reaching out to gently hold his wrist, "Momo."

Qin Mo was slightly startled, a slight unnaturalness flashing across his face, but he thoroughly enjoyed her closeness, not putting up any struggle.

In the kitchen, Qin Yuan, upon hearing the noise, came out wearing an apron and holding a spatula, looking at Gu Zhi with joy.

"Zhi Zhi is back."

The man’s voice was warm, concealing an uncontainable happiness.

He wore a cheap white shirt, seemingly meticulously ironed, dressed meticulously, his tall and upright posture was like pine and cypress.

With gentle and elegant eyebrows, thin lips, nothing was short of perfectly handsome and graceful.

The Qin brothers indeed inherited good looks.

Gu Zhi sized up the man before her, calling out, "Second brother."

Qin Yuan responded, pleased, gently inviting her, "Come sit, one more dish and the meal will be ready."

Today’s dishes were completely managed by Qin Ji and Qin Yuan, both having fully inherited Mrs. Qin’s culinary skills.

The table was almost filled with dishes Gu Zhi adored.

At the dining table, Gu Zhi brought up the program recording again with Qin Ji, "The program starts tomorrow afternoon; I’ll come pick you up in the morning. The program will be live, just pretend the cameras don’t exist if you’re not used to them, big bro."

Qin Ji shook his head, indicating he didn’t care.

Hearing that big brother was going on the program with Gu Zhi made them all envious, Qin Zheng regretfully said, "If I had known, I would’ve asked for leave too; I want to go have fun with Zhi Zhi!"

He found watching mom and dad in it quite fun, they even went back to the hometown last week.

Gu Zhi chuckled, "Next time, maybe."

Qin Yuan hesitated for a bit, looking at Gu Zhi, and said, "I do have some free time, just not sure if I have that honor."

Gu Zhi was slightly stunned, thinking it over, "Second brother’s studies aren’t busy?"

"No, I just finished a project recently." He pressed his lips together, smiling slightly, "After all, I’m not a core member, and having finished this, I might as well give myself a few days off."

Gu Zhi said nothing at first, lost in thought.

If she remembered correctly, Qin Yuan was a graduate student at a certain university, having been involved in various research projects, and even had papers published in SCI journals.

However, due to certain reasons, he hadn’t graduated and had never been able to join the core team, his papers and research results often being used by his advisor and group members for credit.

Lacking connections and power, Qin Yuan had to endure indignities for the sake of his research and graduation.

She pondered for a while. If guessed right, the place they were visiting in this episode seemed to be a hub of scientific research.

After a while, Gu Zhi looked up at him and said, "If second brother is available, why not join us?"
