Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Mr. Song’s Chicken Soup
Liza was both angry and annoyed. She had no choice but to temporarily leave Gu Manxi’s manager position and return to Song Entertainment to take care of the newcomers.
She was not convinced and secretly planned to turn the newcomers into popular celebrities! She wanted to show Song Chen that the true value of an artist was to create profits for the company. An artist was just a tool for the company to make money.
After Lisa left, Song Chen called Li Ye, the director of “The Wind Blows”.
Li Ye was panicking.
Gu Manxi was in the hospital because she was too tired. He had something to do with this. However, Li Ye was also helpless. Gu Manxi worked too hard. She wanted every detail to be as perfect as possible. Influenced by Gu Manxi, the entire production team started trying to one-up each other.
When the supporting actors saw that the female lead was working so hard and seriously, they were too embarrassed to slack off. They took the acting seriously and memorized their lines.
Since the main actors were working so hard, Director Li Ye definitely could not hold them back. Every day, he was in high spirits. The entire production team was bustling with activity.
Now, Gu Manxi was sick.
Li Ye was very anxious. He knew about the relationship between Gu Manxi and Song Chen. Li Ye came to see Song Chen uneasily. He had written his will in secret, and he thought about all the ways he would be killed. He was a coward.
Who would have thought that Song Chen would let Li Ye go after asking a few questions about daily filming?
Li Ye’s legs went weak.
He was not to be trifled with. In the future, he should restrain his passion for filming and give the actors plenty of time to rest. Li Ye had no doubt that if Gu Manxi fell sick again, Mr. Song would really kick him into the ocean.
Li Ye wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and bought flowers and fruits to visit Gu Manxi in the ward.
Gu Manxi had not slept well recently. She fell into a deep sleep while receiving IV fluids and only woke up at night. When she woke up, she held Gu Chu’s little hand and asked her about her condition at school. Gu Chu answered her word for word and was extremely obedient.
The ward door opened and Li Ye walked in with an apologetic expression. “Manxi, you should rest for a day tomorrow. The filming schedule for these two days is too tiring. Everyone has tired themselves out.”
Gu Manxi said, “But–”
“Manxi, you should rest well.” Li Ye put the flowers and fruits on the bedside table with a bitter expression. He put her hands together and begged, “If this happens again, Mr. Song will skin me alive.”
Gu Manxi smiled.
After Li Ye’s visit, the other actors in the crew also went to the hospital to visit one after another. Filming was indeed too tiring recently. The director gave the entire crew a day off to rest and adjust their schedules. Gu Manxi was discharged late at night and rested in a hotel near Hengdian.
The next day, Gu Manxi slept for half a day until she woke up in the afternoon. The sky was bright, and the smell of food wafted from the kitchen provided by the hotel. Gu Manxi put on her clothes and got up. She heard the conversation in the small kitchen.
Gu Chu: “Ah, Uncle Song, you’re so amazing! You actually know how to make egg-fried rice.”
Song Chen was praised by his daughter and said proudly, “Of course, I just learned it recently. Tell me what else you want to eat.”
Gu Chu said, “I want to eat roast beef brisket with potatoes.”
Song Chen coughed slightly. “Uh… I’ll go back and look through the recipe. I don’t know how to cook that one.”
Gu Chu let out a disappointed whine.
Gu Manxi could hear the conversation between the father and daughter clearly. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. The father and daughter seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Also, in Gu Manxi’s memory, Song Chen was never concerned about daily chores. He cared about nothing but work.
