Chapter 576: Chapter 576 Expert Opinion
Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s animated look, Gu Xinyan chuckled, "You, getting better at making girls happy. I don’t know if what you’re saying is true or not, but I like it."
Xu Xiangbei grinned cheekily, "I can’t guarantee for others, but for you, my fairy lady, my future wife, everything I say is the truth."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei start to be cheeky, Gu Xinyan blushed all over, feeling both shy and slightly annoyed, "Psh, who’s your future wife? Get out, I’m going to change clothes."
"Hehe, it’s just changing clothes, are you afraid I’ll see? Not like I haven’t seen it before."
Whoosh, a book flew over, and Xu Xiangbei dashed out of Gu Xinyan’s room, chuckling mischievously, "Once you’re dressed, come out and let me admire you."
"I’m changing clothes not for you to see, it’s for tomorrow’s press conference."
Xu Xiangbei was driven back to the living room on the first floor by Gu Xinyan, when Ouyang Jiahui’s loud voice came from the door, "Haha, Brother Xu, weren’t you taking the superstar to the set? Why are you back?"
Knowing that by superstar Ouyang Jiahui meant Gu Xinyan, Xu Xiangbei replied helplessly, "Gu Xinyan wasn’t filming today, so she came back early."
Ouyang Jiahui was all smiles, and Xu Xiangbei teased, "So happy, did you find some money?"
"All you know is finding money, are there no other things to be happy about? Aren’t you taking the superstar to the set again tomorrow?"
"Yep, that slacker Lu Xiaomei won’t be back for a week. This week I’m set to be a male nanny, I’ll accompany eating, drinking, and acting, just not sleeping."
Ouyang Jiahui giggled, "Being able to eat and drink with a superstar, you’re lucky. Many of Xin Yan’s fans would happily serve but never get the chance."
Xu Xiangbei looked scornful, "Who wants to do this can go ahead. I have no freedom, no time for my own company, the board is threatening to boot me."
Just then, the elevator dinged, and Gu Xinyan stepped out wearing a purple waist-hugging gown, her fair face blushed slightly, her cascading black hair draped over her sleek shoulders, her five-inch crystal high heels making a crisp sound on the floor.
Both Ouyang Jiahui and Xu Xiangbei’s eyes lit up, Ouyang Jiahui leapt like a child towards Gu Xinyan, delightedly grabbing her hand, "Sister Gu, your outfit is beautiful, I often saw you in a wheelchair not realizing how stunning you are, now I see you walk like an elegant fairy."
Xu Xiangbei teased, "Your sense of beauty has always been questionable."
Ouyang Jiahui glared at Xu Xiangbei, "You mean Xin Yan isn’t beautiful?"
Gu Xinyan pouted, and Xu Xiangbei quickly grinned cheekily to clarify, "I meant your sense of beauty was questionable, but now it’s corrected; complimenting Gu Xinyan is absolutely right, we see eye to eye, great minds think alike."
Ouyang Jiahui admired Gu Xinyan, "Truly the future star of Qinghai Film and Television, that figure’s perfect. This outfit is for tomorrow’s press conference, right?"
Gu Xinyan playfully laughed, "How’d you know there’s a press conference tomorrow? Are you attending too?"
Ouyang Jiahui was smug, "Bingo, you guessed it. Although we’re a renowned fashion magazine, we also comment on films and have some influence. I have some media reporter friends who I’ve informed, and we have a great relationship with Qinghai Film and Television; all their reports will be positive, praising your new movie, not tarnishing it."
Gu Xinyan looked excited, "Great! With your help, I won’t be afraid anymore."
Xu Xiangbei chimed in mischievously, "Jiahui is the best, helped Sun Jiajia last time, and now helping you too."
Ouyang Jiahui glared at Xu Xiangbei disdainfully, "You always use me. Last time was cuz of your little lover Sun Jiajia, this time not for you, but for Sister Xin Yan, nothing to do with you."
Xu Xiangbei laughed awkwardly, "Whoever it’s for, your help’s appreciated."
Gu Xinyan grabbed Ouyang Jiahui’s hand, "What makeup do you think suits me? You’re a senior fashion magazine editor, give me tips."
Ouyang Jiahui scrutinized Gu Xinyan’s face for a while and smiled, "Sister Xin Yan, your skin’s amazing; heavy makeup wouldn’t suit, but tomorrow a bit of lipstick would look better on camera."
Xu Xiangbei interjected, "See, I was right, I said the same."
Gu Xinyan glanced at Xu Xiangbei with a faint smile, "You said the same, but from a different angle; Jiahui’s an expert, you just got lucky like a blind cat catching a dead mouse."
Hearing Gu Xinyan teasing Xu Xiangbei, Ouyang Jiahui was pleased, "Sister Xin Yan, go to your room, I’ll help you with the makeup."
When women gather, the most talked-about topics are either men or makeup, leaving Xu Xiangbei out in the cold.
But unwilling to be left out, Xu Xiangbei grinned cheekily, "Want my advice too? My opinions align with Jiahui’s."
The two ladies exchanged glances and smiled knowingly, waving Xu Xiangbei off, Gu Xinyan scoffed lightly, "Not needed, goodbye."
Xu Xiangbei sat on the couch helplessly, with a covetous look, "You two only represent women’s views, neglecting my advice is your great loss."
Ouyang Jiahui laughed, "Thanks, but now your main task is to prep dinner for us."
Gu Xinyan suddenly remembered something, with a longing expression, "I want broccoli, buy more at the supermarket."
Ouyang Jiahui, being a meat lover, added, "I want little bone steaks, the Australian kind, don’t mix it up."
Gu Xinyan and Ouyang Jiahui chuckled as they rode up the elevator. Once the doors closed, their laughter echoed inside.
Xu Xiangbei grumbled, "Pair of foodies, I’ll buy loads of steak, have you eat till you’re little fatties."
Early the next day, Xu Xiangbei drove, taking Ouyang Jiahui and Gu Xinyan to Qinghai Film and Television’s set.
When they reached the hall, many reporters were already seated, many renowned media outlets and websites from Huaxia sent reporters to attend the new movie "Immortal Spirit Chronicles" press conference.
Director Feng and Dongfang Bai were already on the stage, both smiling and chatting enthusiastically, next to Dongfang Bai was an empty seat meant for Gu Xinyan.
