Chapter 176: No Plan for the Entertainment Industry

Translator: _Min_

At that moment, Gu Zhi felt that Gu Dai was nothing but a scheming woman.

In her mind, Gu Dai must have known she would be attending this banquet and deliberately dressed to outs.h.i.+ne her, stealing her limelight.

The group of girls who had been complimenting her earlier were now transfixed by Gu Dai, so much so that they didnt even notice Gu Zhis face, which had turned sour.

Shes really beautiful, isnt she? they couldnt help but exclaim.

Feeling slighted that the girls who had just been showering her with praises were now enthralled by Gu Dai, Gu Zhis face turned almost black with anger. She huffed, stomped her foot, and turned to leave.

In her mind, Gu Dais beauty was nothing but the result of various skincare products. If her dad Gu Ming provided her with the same conditions, she believed she would undoubtedly be ten thousand times more beautiful than Gu Dai!

When the girls snapped back to reality, they saw Gu Zhi storming off. They exchanged puzzled glances, not understanding what had upset her.

After a moment of contemplation, one girl voiced a thought.

Dont you think Gu Zhi looks somewhat like that beauty? Do you think theyre related?

As the words fell, the others started to mentally compare the appearances of the two women.

My guess is that the beautiful woman is probably Gu Dai, the one we were just talking about.

Gu Zhi must know what Gu Dai looks like. Yet, after hearing our compliments earlier, she actually thought she was more attractive than her sister. Thats just hilarious.

Unaware of Gu Zhis simmering jealousy, Gu Dai was at the moment politely declining the overtures of yet another talent scoutthe seventh for the night.

Miss, your proportions are absolutely perfect. If you sign with our agency, Im certain youll become a sensation, a worldwide phenomenon!

With a serene expression, Gu Dai replied, Im sorry, but I have no plans to enter the entertainment industry.

Undeterred by her rejection, the talent scout wasnt ready to give up and was about to continue his pitch.

Su Ting stepped forward, cutting the scout short. As Sis has already mentioned, she has no plans to join the entertainment industry.

The talent scout, clearly daunted by Su Tings intervention, stammered his agreement. Alright, alright.

As the scout turned to leave, Su Ting called out to him. If you have any scout friends, could you please tell them not to approach Sis anymore?

The scout nodded vigorously. We scouts have a large group chat, and Im the admin. Ill notify everyone right away so they wont bother her anymore.

After sending out a quick message on his phone, the scout left, seemingly relieved.

Seeing that no more interruptions would come their way, Su Ting finally exhaled deeply. Im sorry. I should have considered this. I didnt antic.i.p.ate the interruptions and it might have affected your experience.

Gu Dais lips curled into a soft smile. Its fine. I havent seen a scene like this in a long time. In a way, its quite enjoyable.

A pang of heartache flashed through Su Tings eyes.

He knew Gu Dai was reminiscing about the past, a time when both her parents were still around.

He collected his thoughts, intending to offer some comforting words, but before he could open his mouth, a man in a business suit approached him. Mr. Su, if you have a moment, could we discuss the brand contract for the upcoming term?

Recognizing the man as the CEO of a partnering company, Su Ting still declined. Im sorry, I have something more important to attend to right now. We can discuss the contract some other time.

Catching snippets of their conversation, Gu Dai realized that the important thing Su Ting mentioned likely involved her. She looked at him, asking, The important thing you mentioned, is it to comfort me?

Caught off guard, Su Ting unconsciously nodded.

Smiling, Gu Dai responded, Dont worry about me. Im fine. Go handle your work.

Though reluctant to leave her side, Su Ting struggled and said, Sis, the work can be left

In Gu Dais firm gaze, he finally yielded, Alright, if you insist, he murmured, before heading off to speak with the CEO.

The CEO was somewhat surprised; he hadnt antic.i.p.ated this turn of events. As he left, he shot Gu Dai a grateful glance, acknowledging the unspoken concession she had made..
