Chapter 47: Tasting everything will only harm you.
Zhou Ye sat next to Gu Luojin, pouting and complaining to him in a coquettish tone about Meng Ziyi: "Brother Gu, Sister Meng stayed up late to chat with me, which almost made me late for my interview today."
Gu Luojin was both amused and exasperated after hearing this. Was Zhou Ye complaining about Meng Ziyi to him?
Zhou Ye's idea was simple: he and Meng Ziyi were in a relationship, and Meng Ziyi was his girlfriend, so it was perfectly legitimate for him to take care of Sister Meng.
Although the two have broken up, Meng Ziyi would definitely listen to him if he said anything, but now one of them is in Chongqing Province and the other is in Beijing, so he can't do anything about it because he's too far away.
"Then why don't you just stop chatting with her?"
Zhou Ye and Meng Ziyi are the same type of people who can become best friends. She doesn't really want Gu Luojin to manage her, but rather wants to spend more time with him.
Upon hearing Gu Luojin's words, Zhou Ye lowered her head and fiddled with her little fingers: "But I couldn't help it. She was talking about industry gossip that I had never heard before, which made me want to respond to Sister Meng."
He was speechless for a moment. The two of them were such chatterboxes when they were together, they couldn't control their mouths at all.
Gu Luojin changed the subject to the audition: "Xiao Ye, are you confident you can land this role?"
Ye Zi gave her confident answer: "Of course I am. I am an undergraduate student majoring in acting at the Beijing Film Academy. I want to carry on the school's glory."
Gu Luojin quickly stopped her, he couldn't listen anymore: "Stop, the school's glory doesn't need you to carry on it. If you don't tarnish the school's reputation, you're already thinking about the reputation of Beijing Film Academy."
She was the second person to be so confident, but after "Better Days," her career flopped for two years, leading everyone to believe that her Wei Lai was just a flash in the pan.
Zhou Yebang punched his muscles a few times: "Brother Gu, you've hidden a weapon, it's so hard, it hurts so much."
"Give me a massage right now, or I'll go back and tell Sister Meng you bullied me."
The way the two were flirting made Zhang Jingyi grit her teeth in hatred. She should have been the one by Gu Luojin's side; she had come first.
Now it's her rival Zhou Ye who's enjoying herself, and she even wants Gu Luojin to massage her hands—what wishful thinking!
While inwardly complaining, she was also praying, "Brother Gu, please don't let her rub it."
At this moment, Zhang Jingyi understood Zhang Zifeng's mindset and why he had waited for her to say those words.
Because of Zhou Xun's explicit prohibition, the advantages she had gained in the early stages were completely lost.
This made her more rebellious towards Zhou Xun's advice. As a leading actress born in the 70s, Zhou Xun did not understand the rebelliousness of the post-95s and post-00s generations.
Because of the birth policy, most children born in the late 95s and early 00s are only children, growing up under the loving care of their parents and elders.
Therefore, they are more individualistic in personality, which is why those born in the 95s and 00s dare to go against their leaders and clean up the bad atmosphere in the workplace.
Arriving at work on time and leaving on time, refusing to blindly obey leaders, has even spawned a catchy rhyme.
When the leader serves food, I turn the table; when the leader offers me a toast, I refuse to drink.
When the boss takes the microphone, I change the song; when the boss's secretary is in the boss's room, I grope her.
If this continues, Brother Gu will no longer belong to her, but to her rival, Zhou Ye.
She would rather give Brother Gu to Zifeng's sister than see Zhou Ye and Gu Luojin together.
At this moment, a staff member came out and interrupted Zhou Ye and Gu Luojin's conversation.
"Teacher Gu, please wait a little while. Teacher Yi Yangqianxi is currently auditioning for the male lead role. I will let you know after his audition."
"Okay, thank you."
The staff member said that the male lead and the second female lead were going into the room for the interview together.
Perhaps the female lead, Huang Xiaoya, is also in the room, acting alongside each other to see how their acting skills and compatibility with the roles are.
He felt a gaze from an acquaintance, and glancing over, he saw it was Zhang Jingyi's gaze.
While the two were usually together, Gu Luojin compared them and found that they weren't as similar as the rumors suggested, and that it was hard to tell them apart.
The difference is quite significant; one is lively and energetic, while the other is gentle and aloof.
He strongly suspects that this is a tacit agreement between Dong Sheng Future and He Song in order to quickly launch their respective new artists and tie each other together.
Adding to the mix the founders of the two companies, the complicated relationship between the two actresses has drawn even more attention from the media and netizens.
Zhou Ye followed Gu Luojin's gaze and saw that he was comparing her to Zhang Jingyi.
This prompted Zhou Ye, who was standing nearby, to feign an inquiry: "Brother Gu, are you doing this on purpose? I'm right here with you, why are you still looking at her?"
Gu Luojin was quite casual, because he had no substitute: "Everyone online says you two look alike, but I don't really believe it."
Zhou Ye blinked and pressed, "And now?"
Gu Luojin nodded: "I'm starting to believe it."
Zhou Ye pressed on, asking, "Brother Gu, is it good?"
Facing Zhou Ye, he felt no pressure and answered truthfully, "She looks good."
"How is she prettier than me?" Hearing Gu Luojin's question and answer, she was furious.
She would never admit that she was inferior to Zhang Jingyi in any situation or at any time.
Gu Luojin corrected her question: "You asked the wrong question. You should ask me, are you prettier or is she prettier?"
"Oh, then I'll ask again." She knew that Brother Gu was on her side; their "friendship" was unbreakable.
Gu Luojin was already prepared: "Okay, go ahead and ask."
Zhou Ye asked a second time, full of anticipation for his answer: "Am I prettier, or is she prettier?"
"She's beautiful."

Zhou Ye, barely suppressing her anger, asked, "Then what makes her beautiful?"
"She doesn't hit people."
"Ah..." This shattered her Dao heart.
"You got angry when I said you weren't as pretty as her."
Zhou Ye, who wasn't in a hurry at first, almost broke down when she heard those words.
"Who's getting impatient? What do I lack compared to her?" Zhou Ye said loudly. "Tch, you men are all always looking at what's in your bowl while thinking about what's in the pot. Suddenly you feel sorry for my Sister Meng, still thinking about you and missing you in the capital."
He didn't believe Zhou Ye's words at all; moral blackmail was useless against him: "Don't feel sorry for her, she's living a very comfortable and happy life."
Besides, I've seen plenty of beautiful women, not to mention those in the distance like Gulnazar, Dilraba, and my idol Liu Yifei.
In my opinion, Sister Meng's looks are only average, maybe a 3 out of 10.
"Three points?" Zhou Ye was confused by Gu Luojin's rating and held up three fingers: "What gives you the right to give us a rating? Besides, why should we beauties care about your evaluation of a scumbag like you?"
"You get two points."
Zhou Ye stood up abruptly.
Didn't you say you didn't mind? Hearing that your score was low, you're more anxious than anyone else.
"Why... I'm one point less than Sister Meng." She's not bad looking either.
Why shouldn't she know? Sister Meng has the ability to put Xiong Da and Xiong Er on the table; she has absolutely no idea of her own capabilities.
Gu Luojin remained unmoved by her anger: "You deduct two points for questioning the judges' reasoning."
If you deduct two more points, she'll have a negative score.
"Your score is -10086."
After saying that, Zhou Ye sat down angrily, and everyone's eyes were on her.
"I use China Unicom."
They only attack and don't defend; their combat strength is unknown.
"You're the ugliest, you're the ugliest..." Zhou Ye, who had sat down, kept nagging in his ear.
The happy puppy turned into a depressed puppy.
The two had a good relationship, which Zhou Ye's manager had already heard about, so she did not come forward to stop them.
He wasn't angry at all about her childish behavior.
Teng Ge once said, "When someone is good-looking, if others say you are ugly, you will not be angry, because you know that the other person is just jealous of you."
"If you're truly ugly and everyone says you're ugly, you'll definitely be angry because it's true."
For example, if you tell Ke Jie that he doesn't play Go well, he'll just smile and say nothing. But if you tell him that he doesn't use the golden spatula well, then he'll break down.
Take Chen Shishi as an example. You can criticize "Farewell My Concubine" to his face and it will be fine because it won the Palme d'Or.
But if you insult Wuji, he will break down and criticize you.
In order not to affect her audition, and also because he didn't want her to keep nagging in his ear, which was almost causing him to have tinnitus.
