I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Bar downstairs.

Gu Yifan was holding his laptop and typing on the keyboard, his face expressionless.
Who doesn't get annoyed at work?

There was nothing he could do; Mingliang was pressing him hard to finish the rest of the manuscript as soon as possible.

Gu Yifan was somewhat depressed.

How come he's still being pressured to work even though he's the boss?

Unfortunately, he only complained a little; he still had to write.

The first season of the Douluo Continent anime was well-received and praised for its high production quality, and it has become a hot topic of discussion.

Therefore, the company is stepping up production on the second season and preparing to broadcast it exclusively on Bilibili, which it has acquired.

Also.

Gu Yifan had previously sent his senior brother to Japan to negotiate copyrights with animation companies. After about a month, Du Jun, who was on a business trip, finally returned.

However, Du Jun did not return to the company first.

Instead, he went home first, refusing to answer his boss's calls and announcing that he would rest for three days before discussing work.

They call it making up for the fatherly love the child missed for a month!
Gu Yifan was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

He himself was being urged to work, and he only went on a business trip for a month, which he considered a paid vacation, yet he still wanted to rest!
How dignified!

However, Gu Yifan could understand that his senior brother was a single father and worried about his child.

And I wish Du Jun will always be a single father!
Just as Gu Yifan typed the last character, shook his aching hand, and let out a long breath.

"Hey, Yifan, you're at the bar? I was wondering why I couldn't find you in your suite." Teacher Zeng excitedly went up to the second floor and said with a smile when she saw Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan glanced at Teacher Zeng. Just by looking at Zeng Xiaoxian's smiling face, he knew that the competition for vice director must be a sure thing.

Sure enough, as soon as Teacher Zeng sat down, she looked intently at Gu Yifan.

He had an expectant look on his face, as if he wanted me to ask him quickly.

"."

Gu Yifan smiled; he simply wouldn't ask, refusing to comply with Teacher Zeng's wishes!

"Yifan, don't you want to ask me how my TV interview went this morning?"

Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up.

"You can tell just by looking at your face, Teacher Zeng, which looks like a blooming chrysanthemum. You really can't keep anything to yourself," Gu Yifan retorted speechlessly.

But Zeng Xiaoxian didn't care at all, his mouth practically sticking out to his ears, "Hehe! Thanks to you, Yifan, you really are my good brother, you understand me so well~"

Gu Yifan rolled his eyes.

He was in a bad mood, and seeing others in a good mood made him even more unhappy.

At this moment, Guan Gu and Ms. Hu went upstairs together.

"Hey, Teacher Zeng, you're back?" Guan Gu was taken aback when he saw Zeng Xiaoxian, and then greeted him.

How did the interview go?

Seeing that someone had asked the question he wanted to show off, Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes lit up, and he cleared his throat to speak.

Ms. Hu interrupted, "What else could it be? Look at that radiant woman, she must have passed, right?"

“That makes sense. It seems like Teacher Zeng doesn’t have many competitors,” Guan Gu said with a smile.

Seeing himself being belittled, Zeng Xiaoxian panicked, "Hey, do you guys think job interviews are an easy thing?!"

"Have you finished writing your manuscript?" Hu Yifei ignored Zeng Xiaoxian, walked over and sat down next to Gu Yifan, and asked casually.

"Yes, that's about it." Gu Yifan nodded, and when he met Ms. Hu's gaze, he could tell that she was not in a good mood.

The reason.
"Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are coming tomorrow, and you still have the mood to sit here?"

Ms. Hu's voice was practically overflowing with jealousy.

Just a couple of days ago, Wanyu said that her parents were coming to Shanghai soon.

Although he might not come to the apartment, just in case, Gu Yifan still told Ms. Hu and Ms. Qin in advance, so as not to expose them later.

Women, what woman doesn't get jealous?

Therefore, Ms. Hu has been somewhat irritable these past few days, and her speech has always been sarcastic and unpleasant.

With Teacher Zeng and Guan Gu all there, Gu Yifan didn't know how to comfort Ms. Hu, so he could only say with a hint of helplessness, "Wanyu said that her father is going to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, so they might not even have time to meet."

Ms. Hu gave a soft hum and fell silent.

Teacher Zeng had just finished bragging to Guan Gu about his interview experience today. The HR manager seemed quite satisfied with him, and Lisa also kept her word and recommended him.

Although the final result has not yet been announced, Zeng Xiaoxian personally feels that he is almost certain to win, after all, the position of deputy director is rightfully his!

By then, he will be a person with status and social standing.

"Congratulations, Teacher Zeng," Guan Gu said politely.

Before Zeng Xiaoxian could respond happily, Guan Gu turned to Gu Yifan, hesitated, and asked with concern, "Gu Jun, have you seen Youyou?"

"Youyou?" Gu Yifan thought for a moment. He had been too busy these past few days and had completely forgotten about Youyou's audition.

"No, it seems like Yoyo's audition time is coming up soon too."

Guan Gu nodded, his face full of worry, and said, "I think Youyou's emotions seem a little off."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yifan asked, puzzled.

“I know that. Youyou has been acting like she’s possessed these past few days,” Ms. Hu said, seemingly suppressing her earlier outburst of emotion.

"He locks himself in room 3603 all day and doesn't come out. He stands in front of the mirror talking to himself, and his expressions keep changing, which is quite scary!"

"Is that so?" Gu Yifan picked up the lemonade on the table and took a sip.

Could it be that Youyou took his casual joke seriously?

Gu Yifan told her that there were several other competitors, and if the director chose them, there would be nothing that could be done.

But in reality, he was the major financial backer of this TV series.

If Gu Yifan can't even decide on a female lead role, then that would be too embarrassing.

Although directors have great power, it is still not greater than that of investors or producers. Sometimes, if investors want to replace an actor, even the director has no choice but to accept it.

This is why, in the story, although Youyou acted very well and the director had high hopes for her, she was ultimately killed off by the screenwriter.

Since investors want to promote other female celebrities, Youyou naturally has to step aside.

"Is that really the case?" After hearing Gu Yifan's explanation, Guan Gu perked up and hurriedly said, "Then Yifan, you should quickly explain to Youyou and tell her to relax. I'm worried that if this continues, her body won't be able to take it."

At this moment, Ms. Hu looked downstairs and said, "I think we don't need to go to the apartment anymore. Look, she's here."

A short while later, Youyou, who hadn't been seen for several days, walked upstairs looking haggard.

"Youyou." Guan Gu quickly stood up.

"Guan Gu, everyone's here?" Youyou forced a smile, but then stumbled and almost fell.

Guan Gu quickly stepped forward to support Youyou, "Are you alright, Youyou?"

"Me? I'm fine." Youyou rubbed her temples, sat down on the sofa and yawned. "I'm probably a little tired because I've been staying up late reading scripts these past few days."

Guan Gu immediately said, "Youyou, don't work too hard. It's just an audition."

Youyou laughed and retorted, "Guan Gu, I don't agree with what you said. You see, when you're engrossed in a comic, you think about it for days on end." "Don't worry, I know my own body. I won't mess up at this crucial moment!" Youyou clenched her fist to cheer herself up.

"I feel like I've completely grasped the female lead's psychology and demeanor in the audition script!"

But at this point, Youyou's expression fell again. "But I'm still a little worried. What if there are actors with better looks and more outstanding qualities than me who also audition?"

Seeing this, Guan Gu repeatedly winked at Gu Yifan, asking him to persuade Youyou.

Gu Yifan felt that Guan Gu was somewhat confused by his concern.

Although Youyou looked a little tired, she was in good spirits.

Moreover, the more she can understand the script and the better she can play the female lead, the better it will be for her.

However, Gu Yifan still said, "Don't worry, the audition should be tomorrow. Youyou, what you need to do now is go back and get some rest, make sure you get enough sleep, and be in good spirits!"

"I mentioned competition a few days ago just to motivate you; I guarantee this role is yours."

Youyou was taken aback for a moment after hearing this, then smiled knowingly, "I understand, Yifan, you're comforting me, right? Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

Gu Yifan: "."

There's nothing I can do; he tells the truth, but Youyou doesn't believe him.

Ms. Hu also said, "Youyou, you can rest assured. The biggest investor in this drama is sitting right here. What is there to worry about? If I were you, I would be completely at ease."

Guan Gu nodded, "That's right, that's right."

But Youyou can be very stubborn at times. "No, I hope to gain the director's recognition through my acting skills. I appreciate everyone's good intentions."

At this moment, Zeng Xiaoxian, who had been silent all along, suddenly chuckled, seemingly thinking of something lewd.

Everyone looked at him.

"Teacher Zeng, what are you laughing at?" Youyou asked curiously.

Zeng Xiaoxian's expression turned serious. "Youyou, if you want to gain more recognition from directors, you can try some alternative methods!"

"What method?" Youyou asked, bewildered.

"For example, if you change your outfit and dress sexier, like a low-cut bodycon dress, you'll definitely be eye-catching enough. When the director sees you, he might have a more lasting impression of you."

Everyone: "."

"Teacher Zeng, you really can't say anything nice." Gu Yifan rolled his eyes.

Ms. Hu was even more furious, saying, "It's people like you who always think about taking shortcuts and don't rely on their own real talents to succeed that makes this society so dark!"

Zeng Xiaoxian felt wronged, "I was just saying that. Actors have to make some sacrifices."

Seeing that Youyou hadn't said a word and seemed to be deep in thought, Guan Gu suddenly became anxious, "Youyou, don't listen to Teacher Zeng's nonsense, shut up, Teacher Zeng!"

"I was just saying... just saying." Zeng Xiaoxian's voice grew weaker and weaker as he saw the murderous looks he was getting from everyone, and he obediently shut his mouth.

Guan Gu didn't have time to settle scores with Teacher Zeng. He turned around and hurriedly said to Youyou, "Youyou, don't listen to Teacher Zeng!"

"."

Suddenly, Youyou, who had been deep in thought, stood up, her expression excited, and clapped her hands.

"I've got it! I have a new idea. It would be even better if I portrayed the character this way."

He muttered to himself, then slowly turned and walked out.

Gu Yifan and Ms. Hu exchanged glances and both shook their heads slightly.

You can't truly live without being obsessed.

Just then, Youyou, who had reached the stairs, remembered something, turned around and said goodbye to everyone, "I'm going back first. Coming out for a walk to change my mood was definitely the right choice!"

"By the way, Teacher Zeng, I will consider your suggestion!"

Youyou left after she finished speaking.

Only a furious Guan Gu remained, glaring angrily at Zeng Xiaoxian, "It's all your fault, Teacher Zeng! What a terrible idea you came up with!"

Zeng Xiaoxian looked completely innocent, "What did I do?"

Gu Yifan coughed and nudged Guan Gu, "Never mind Teacher Zeng for now, Guan Gu, what are you standing there for? Go and take Youyou home. The child looks a bit dazed; what if she falls?"

"If Youyou really does that, I will never forgive your teacher Zeng for the rest of my life!" Guan Gu glared angrily at Zeng Xiaoxian, then got up and chased after Youyou.

Zeng Xiaoxian also realized the seriousness of the problem, and he looked at Gu Yifan guiltily.

"Well, I was just saying, I don't think Youyou will take it seriously, right?"

"Hmph, Zeng Xiaoxian, you're really something." Ms. Hu looked at Zeng Xiaoxian with disdain and launched a verbal attack on him.

Gu Yifan, on the other hand, remained calm. "Alright, Teacher Zeng, you don't need to blame yourself too much."

“Yifan, you understand me, right?” Zeng Xiaoxian quickly looked over.

"Well," Gu Yifan shook his head disdainfully, "I agree with Yifei. Teacher Zeng, you really are quite a beast. But this time the director is a female director, so Teacher Zeng, you don't need to regret it."

Sure enough, Zeng Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief after learning that it was a female director. Before he could speak, he heard Gu Yifan continue.

"But this still can't hide your despicable true colors, Teacher Zeng! I despise you!"

The next day.

Early in the morning, Gu Yifan woke Wanyu up to go to the airport to pick up her parents.

"Get up quickly, go pick up your parents."

Unfortunately, no matter how Gu Yifan called out to her, Miss Lin just turned over, snuggled back into Gu Yifan's arms, and mumbled sleepily.

"Don't bother going, it's not our turn to pick you up anyway."

Gu Yifan: "Are you sure?"

"Hmm hmm hmm." Lin Wanyu nodded perfunctorily.

"Alright then," Gu Yifan shrugged.

It seems he was overthinking it; after all, Mr. and Mrs. Lin were invited back to attend the meeting.

The city will probably send someone to pick them up and drop them off; there might even be a welcoming ceremony or something.

"So don't worry, you won't be under my parents' scrutiny for a while~" Miss Lin, who wasn't fully awake yet, saw that Gu Yifan didn't seem to want to lie down, so she smiled and propped herself up on her arms.

He gave Gu Yifan a quick kiss on the cheek.

Her long, slender, fair arms hooked around his neck, pulling Gu Yifan into a world of tenderness.

"Sleep a little longer with me. Ugh, I was still half asleep when you woke me up. As punishment, you have to hold me and sleep until I naturally wake up!"

at the same time
airport.

With a stern expression, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin, dressed elegantly, stepped off the private plane.

"Old Lin, are you sure your daughter will come to pick us up this early?" Lin's mother said to Lin's father with a smile.

"Don't wait until they don't arrive and then turn down the car that's supposed to pick you up. Otherwise, you'll lose face."

Mr. Lin was very confident and waved his hand.

"Impossible. Wanyu is immature, but Yifan is immature too. He'll definitely come."

"Oh really?"

"How about we make a bet? I bet our daughter and that boy will come together."

Looking at her confident husband, Lin's mother smiled, "Alright, but don't try to cheat if you lose." (End of Chapter)
