Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 87 Chen Sicheng
……

……

"Hey, Baoqiang."

Gu Qing answered the phone.

"Xiao Gu, where are you?"

Wang Baoqiang's voice was hoarse and muffled.

Gu Qing's heart skipped a beat. "I just got back to Shanghai."

"Are you free? Come have dinner with me."

"Okay, Baoqiang, give me an address and I'll be right there."

Gu Qing sent the itinerary to the driver.

"Xiao Gu, about tomorrow's advertisement..." Li Li hesitated before speaking.

"Don't worry, I won't let it interfere with my work."

Gu Qing looked out the window, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

Did it still happen?

"Oh right, I should go to the bank first."

As if remembering something, Gu Qing signaled the driver to turn around.

He seemed to remember,
When this incident first occurred, Wang Baoqiang was so strapped for cash that he couldn't raise the money to fight the lawsuit.

Wang Baoqiang's character has been tested by netizens across the country.

Gu Qing wasn't afraid of the other party becoming a deadbeat; he would help as much as he could.

……

After two hours,

Gu Qing, dressed in full protective gear, with a mask, sunglasses, and hat, entered a high-end restaurant.

We followed the waiter to our reserved private room.

"咚咚-"

The waiter knocked on the door.

"Enter."

A strange man's voice came from inside.

"Who is this? It doesn't sound like Brother Baoqiang's voice."

Gu Qing was puzzled and pushed open the door to enter the room.

As soon as I entered,

The air was thick with the smell of nicotine and the pungent odor of alcohol.

"You are…"

Wang Baoqiang's eyes were blurry, and his movements were slow. He stared intently at the person who had come in, and his usually honest face was flushed with an abnormal redness.

He smiled after seeing Gu Qing remove her mask, raised his wine glass, and tried to get up, ignoring the cast on his right leg.
"Oh, it's you, Xiao Gu! Come on, have a drink with me!"

"Brother Baoqiang, slow down."

Gu Qing quickly stepped forward and helped Wang Baoqiang, who almost fell.

As he staggered, the wine in his glass spilled all over Gu Qing's shirt.

"Baobao, sit down and drink. You've spilled the wine all over people."

The man who spoke first quickly got up and helped Wang Baoqiang with his other hand.

Gu Qing then got a clear look at the other person's appearance.

"You must be Gu Qing, the one Bao Bao was talking about. Thank you for taking care of him all this time."

Chen Sicheng supported his good friend with his body, and didn't forget to greet Gu Qing with difficulty, "Baobao is having some trouble at home, don't mind."

"I don't mind at all. Brother Baoqiang usually takes good care of me."

Gu Qing offered to lend a hand.

"Come on, Xiao Gu, let's have a drink, you two brothers."

Wang Baoqiang handed a wine glass to Gu Qing, clinked it against hers forcefully, and then drank it by himself.

Gu Qing gritted his teeth, tilted his head back and drank, but was choked by the strong liquor and had to cover his mouth.

"Don't force yourself, don't force yourself, there's water here."

Chen Sicheng then patted Gu Qing's back with his hand.

Gu Qing's eyes turned red from the spiciness. She took a sip of water, and her burning throat felt a little better.

"Xiao Gu, what do you think this is?"

Muttering in a Hebei accent, his breath reeking of alcohol, Wang Baoqiang tapped his glass with his index finger, making a clinking sound. "Eight years... eight years, brother."

He held Gu Qing in his arms, weeping bitterly, "This is worse than death!!"

"Protect him...his agent and his wife...you know what I mean?"

Fearing that Gu Qing might not understand and would ask the reason, thus provoking Wang Baoqiang,

Chen Sicheng left the sofa and went to the seat to Gu Qing's left, where he quietly explained the reason.

"You adulterous couple!"

Gu Qing cursed inwardly, confirming that it was indeed something from back then.

Patting Wang Baoqiang on the back, he comforted him gently, "Brother Baoqiang, don't worry. Just tell me if you need any help. We brothers are here for you."

Hearing this,

Wang Baoqiang cried even louder, "Xiao Gu, I'm already grateful that you can take some time to come and have a drink with me."

"Brother Gu, are you busy with work?"

Chen Sicheng said understandingly, "If you're busy, you can go ahead and look after things here. I can take care of things by myself."

"Brother Sicheng, it's alright, I've already asked the company for leave."

Gu Qing shook her head. "You know me?"

Chen Sicheng was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Gu Qing to recognize him.

His fame within the industry is probably not as great as his wife's.

"I've seen your acting."

Gu Qing didn't say much and focused on taking care of Wang Baoqiang.

"Come on, Xiao Gu, let me introduce you."

Wang Baoqiang regained some composure, grasped Chen Sicheng's hand, and said, "My brother: Chen Sicheng! He's also my best brother!"

Chen Sicheng grinned, his face beaming with a wide smile.

"Sicheng, let me introduce myself to you."

Wang Baoqiang grasped Gu Qing's hand with his other hand, "Little Gu, my good brother, when I fell into the water while filming Running Man, he was the first to come and save me!"

“Bao Bao, I watched that episode. I know that Brother Gu saved you.”

Chen Sicheng said in a gentle voice.

"From now on, the three of us brothers will stick together. Bullshit women, bullshit managers... I have my good brothers, that's enough!"

After saying that, Wang Baoqiang burst into tears again.

They worked until the early hours of the morning.

Wang Baoqiang was completely drunk.
Chen Sicheng had a high alcohol tolerance and remained sober throughout, while also preventing Gu Qing from drinking too much.

"Brother Gu, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'll take care of Bao Bao."

"You can't drive if you're under the influence of alcohol."

"What kind of thinking are you? My assistant is outside."

Chen Sicheng was amused by Gu Qing's words, "Your sense of law-abiding is not like that of someone in the entertainment industry."

He put his arm around Wang Baoqiang's neck.

"By the way, Brother Sicheng."

Gu Qing took out the bank card she had previously opened.

"What is this for?"

Chen Sicheng was stunned for a moment.

"It's for Brother Baoqiang in an emergency."

Gu Qing stuffed it into his pocket. "The password is his birthday from Baidu. Just tell Brother Baoqiang when you wake up. I'm not in a hurry for the money."

After everything is done,

Gu Qingcai put on his mask and hat, said goodbye to Chen Sicheng, and left the private room.

"Hey Sicheng, where did my little brother go?"

Wang Baoqiang was helped out of the restaurant by Chen Sicheng. A cold wind blew, and he groggily opened his eyes.

"I saw it was getting late, so I let your brother go home and rest."

Chen Sicheng instructed his assistant to carefully place Wang Baoqiang into the back seat of the car.

"Oh."

Wang Baoqiang responded, rubbing his throbbing head, "What do you think of my brother? Isn't he handsome!"

"He's incredibly handsome, no wonder he's a top star."

Chen Sicheng sat down next to Wang Baoqiang with a smile and signaled the driver to start the car.

"Hehe, being handsome is just my brother's smallest advantage."

Wang Baoqiang gagged, then chuckled foolishly, "His good character is the most important thing."

"Good character..."

Chen Sicheng couldn't help but touch his pocket and take out a brand new bank card.

"Stop the car."

Seeing the ATM parked next to the bank by the roadside, Chen Sicheng could no longer contain his curiosity.

He wanted to see how much the "good character" of Baoqiang's younger brother was worth.

"1984529."

Chen Sicheng remembered Wang Baoqiang's birth date better than anyone else.

After the card number is entered
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands... hundreds of thousands, millions!"

Chen Sicheng smacked his lips, shocked by the balance on his card, "Two million?!"

Two million in cash,

For second- or third-tier celebrities like them, this is a considerable sum of money.

It hurts to spend money even to buy things, let alone borrow it.

Leaving aside those in the industry,
Even among ordinary people, many relationships have soured because of lending each other money.

"Sicheng, where have you been?"

The car door opened, and Wang Baoqiang asked, still dizzy.

"Let's see what kind of person your brother is."

Chen Sicheng helped Bao Qiang fasten his seatbelt.

"What's his character like?"

"One is the best!"
