Divorce in the entertainment industry

Qi Donglai died in the early morning of the 11th.

Gu Jinxi was going to sleep at home, but he couldn't fall asleep after turning off the lights.He felt a little uneasy, took his mobile phone from the bedside table, and made a call to Qi Yuan for the first time.

The phone rang twice before being picked up, and Qi Yuan's breathing sounded a bit rough, which made Gu Jinxi also tense up.

"You haven't slept yet?" Qi Yuan asked.

Gu Jinxi pressed the phone screen to his ear, Qi Yuan's voice seemed a little heavy in this quiet night.

He wanted to ask Qi Yuan if something happened, but when the words came to his lips, there was only one sentence left: "I can't sleep."

The other end was silent for a few seconds, and then said in an apologetic tone: "It's a pity that I can't come back to accompany you tonight." Soon he added, "He's gone."

Gu Jinxi's head seemed to have been hit hard, and he was a little dizzy, and a sad and dignified atmosphere spread between the two of them.

Gu Jinxi opened his mouth, said a word of condolences, and suddenly thought that Qi Yuan should have a lot of things to deal with right now, and added, "Is there anything I can do for you? Do you want me to go to the hospital?"

After he finished speaking, he felt that this was a bit inappropriate, because he seemed to be unable to help him with anything.

"No, you can rest at home. Although things are more complicated, I can handle it. Besides, he is not just my son."

Gu Jinxi hummed and said, "Okay then, I'll hang up, you... you should also pay attention to rest."

"OK, good night."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinxi fell into the silent darkness again.As soon as he closed his eyes, various people and things began to flash in his mind, but he still couldn't fall asleep.Later, he simply started to browse various news websites to see if there was any report on this matter.

Gu Jinxi saw the report on a local news website. Qi Donglai, the president of the Qi Corporation, passed away tonight in the city hospital. Shareholders who heard the news rushed to the hospital.In the next period of time, the Qi family will start a new round of reshuffle, which will affect the entire economic market of S city.

Gu Jinxi is always ignorant of such company-related news.He went back and forth several times to analyze the pros and cons of this matter, mainly because of Qi Yuan.

The editor of this report is very pessimistic about Qi Yuan's situation, thinking that it is impossible for Qi Donglai to put pressure on this illegitimate son. In the hands of Qi Donglai, it is impossible for him to hand over the entire company to Qi Yuan. After all, the eldest son Qi Jiaming was brought up by himself.

Every line in this article reveals the author's belittlement of Qi Yuan. Gu Jinxi felt more and more uncomfortable the more he read it, so he simply closed the article and lay down on the bed to meditate.

He doesn't know much about Qi Yuan's strength and his current job. He only remembers that besides Qi Yuan and Qi Jiaming, Qi Donglai also has another daughter. If he really wants to fight for the family property, can Qi Yuan stay in Qi Yuan? Shi still can't tell.Gu Jinxi thought about this for half the night, and didn't fall asleep until after 3 o'clock in the morning.

Qi Yuan didn't come back for the next few days, and Gu Jinxi called him once on the way. Qi Yuan seemed to be in good spirits, but his voice was a little hoarse, and he was very tired. After confirming that others were fine, Gu Jinxi relaxed a little.

Qi Donglai's funeral was three days later. Gu Jinxi got up before four o'clock in the morning that day, washed his face in cold water to refresh himself, then changed into a black suit, and asked his assistant to drive over to pick him up, and together they rushed to the old Qi family. House.

It was almost seven o'clock when we arrived at Qi's house, and the sky was already covered with white sunlight. The assistant parked the car in the temporary parking lot at the entrance of Qi's house. When he entered, he saw Mrs. Qi and Qi Jiaming. Passing the elegiac couplet to the butler, he looked around again, but he didn't see Qi Yuan.

"He's in the room on the second floor." Qi Jiaming seemed to see what he was thinking.

Gu Jinxi thanked him and went straight to the second floor.

He came here once before when he married Qi Yuan. Although he was not familiar with the layout, he still had a general impression.

Qi Yuan's room is a room facing south at the end of the corridor on the second floor. Gu Jinxi knocked on the door and called Qi Yuan's name, but there was no response from inside.

Gu Jinxi tried to break the doorknob, but found that the door was unlocked, so he pushed the door open and went in.He could see Qi Yuan's upper body lying on his back on the bed, his feet on the ground, without taking off his shoes, just fell asleep.

Gu Jinxi wanted to let him sleep for a while, but was about to step back out the door lightly when she heard Qi Yuan's hoarse voice.

"When did you come? Don't wake me up."

"Just arrived, nothing to do, sleep if you're sleepy."

Gu Jinxi said that he found that Qi Yuan had stubble on his chin, and the suit-style mourning clothes were also crumpled, which seemed to have changed a lot.

"Not sleepy, I've slept for a few hours, you sit here for a while, I'll wash your face." Qi Yuan turned over, glanced at his phone, and pointed to his bed.

There is no sofa in his room, and the only work chair is full of clothes, as if they have not been washed in the past few days.

Gu Jinxi sat by the bed and looked at Qi Yuan's room.Qi Yuan quickly came out of the bathroom, his face was still covered with water, and he changed into clean black clothes again.

He sat straight next to Gu Jinxi, holding Gu Jinxi's hand tightly.

"I'm glad you're here."

"Anyway, I'm an elder I know." Gu Jinxi said.

"Um."

"Is aunt not here?"

"No need, it's none of her business."

Qi Yuan unfolded Gu Jinxi's palm, as if carefully observing the lines on it.

After a while, he said, "It's a pity that I don't have time to accompany you. I originally planned to travel abroad together..."

Qi Yuan said similar things more than once. Gu Jinxi felt that he didn't need to emphasize so many times, so he took the initiative to hold his hand and said: "This is not up to you. If you want to travel, you can go as long as you have time. You don't have to." If you are so anxious, you can just deal with the matter at hand with peace of mind—"

Before Gu Jinxi finished speaking, Qi Yuan hugged her around the neck. Gu Jinxi hesitated for a while before raising her hand and gently resting on Qi Yuan's back.

The two hugged in this position for a few minutes, until Gu Jinxi's neck was sore, and Qi Yuan let go of his arms.

"I'll go down later, let Qi Jiaming take a rest. If you feel bored, you can go back first. After today's funeral, there are still many follow-up things to deal with. I may not be able to plan travel recently..."

"Well, I'm going to be busy next time, so let's put it off later."

Seeing that there was no dissatisfaction on Gu Jinxi's face, Qi Yuan let go of his tense nerves.He knew that Gu Jinxi had always been the kind of person who could think in another person's place, but recently he had a lot of troublesome things on his hands, and his nerves were tense for too long, and he was really worried that his negligence would make Gu Jinxi unhappy.

Qi Donglai's funeral did not come to an end until the end of August.During the period, Gu Jinxi went around with the crew to promote activities and participated in auditions for two dramas. Until September, Qi Yuan didn't move back to Jinxi's house.

Gu Jinxi was also very conflicted. He understood that Qi Yuan couldn't get away because of Qi Donglai's matter, and he also heard that the Qi family was not peaceful recently, but he always felt uneasy.

Qi Yuan also called him a few times during the period, asking nothing but ordinary food and drink.He also never mentioned that he wanted to ask Gu Jinxi out or come to Gu Jinxi's house on his own initiative, as if the two of them were dating in name only.

In fact, there is no need to think so much, maybe Qi Yuan is really too busy to get away.Gu Jinxi would sometimes tell himself that if he wanted to see him, he could take the initiative to find him.

But he couldn't hold back this face, because he was afraid that he would fall into Qi Yuan's trap again, or that he had already fallen into it.

"Bird" is scheduled for the eleventh period, and it can be regarded as an outlier among the commercial films.In the early morning of September 28th, the premiere premiered in City S. Gu Jinxi received several premiere tickets. He gave them to Chen Yunyao and Xiao Qiao's family, and kept two for himself, intending to invite Qi Yuan to go with him.

Gu Jinxi hesitated for a long time before calling Qi Yuan. He was wondering whether this invitation was necessary. Firstly, Qi Yuan was not interested in this kind of literary film. Secondly, if Qi Yuan was really busy, he wanted to watch it. The premiere of the movie I starred in had to turn down a lot of important business, doesn't it seem that I don't care about the importance.

The two invitation coupons were creased and lay quietly beside Gu Jinxi.

He finally dialed Qi Yuan's number. No matter whether he has time to come, at least he should mention it. Moreover, if there is really a problem between the two of them, he can also take this opportunity to make it clear that no matter how busy he is, answer the phone There should always be time.

The first time I dialed, the phone rang more than a dozen times and no one answered, so it hung up automatically.When she dialed for the second time, Gu Jinxi had no hope at all, but she was picked up after a ring.

On the other end was a young female voice, her tone was serious and rigid, like Qi Yuan's secretary or assistant.

Gu Jinxi asked her to ask Qi Yuan to answer the phone, but the other party replied that Qi Yuan was inconvenient right now.

"Is he in a meeting now? In business negotiations? Or is he rushing for some important business proposal? Or doing some shady business? I want to know how inconvenient it is."

When Gu Jinxi said this, he felt that he was an exasperated rascal, spreading all the negative emotions he shouldn't have on others.

The female voice on the other end of the phone was choked, and it took a long time to say apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qi is really busy right now, he said he will call you back later."

Gu Jinxi wiped his face and said, "Well, okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, he calmly blocked Qi Yuan's phone number and various contact numbers, then collapsed on the recliner, silent about his unreasonable behavior just now.

It's nothing, Gu Jinxi finally comforted himself, he just didn't want to step into the swamp again, he should stop in time, it's almost here.

"Birds" premiered to great effect, receiving a large number of positive reviews.Gu Jinxi is also very satisfied with the effect of this film. Although the theme is not far-reaching, but from the perspective of a literary film, it has produced the best effect enough to impress the audience.

Gu Jinxi can foresee that the word-of-mouth of "Flying Bird" will not be bad. Movies with good stories can at least make back their money at the box office.

Gu Jinxi couldn't wait to attend the crew's celebration banquet, and boarded the plane to Melbourne on the third day of the National Day holiday.He tried a Sino-foreign joint venture movie for the first time, and he had to go abroad to take part in the retest. If he passed the retest, he would stay in that city for at least half a year after that.
