Reborn To Love

Chapter 34 Liu Qinli

As He Xinyan munched on a cookie, she saw from the corner of her eyes that a woman was walking their way.

The woman was wearing a dark red dress, and she seemed to be around her 50s. She smiled at Gu Yechen and didn't acknowledge He Xinyan.

"Mrs. Shen," Gu Yechen greeted the woman.

"Yechen, who is this?" The woman asked as she pointed at He Xinyan. Xinyan could tell that the woman wasn't very friendly, so she silently ate her food as Gu Yechen talked with the woman.

"She is my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" The woman seemed to be very surprised, but she didn't talk any further about He Xinyan. Instead, she switched the topic to something about their business and Gu Yechen talked with her for a while later before she left.

Once she was gone, Gu Yechen turned to He Xinyan and said, "That was the wife of the CEO of the Shen Corporation."

"Oh, okay." He Xinyan watched as the woman left to go speak with someone else. She knew of the Shen Corporation. It was one of the most powerful corporations in the country, but of course, it couldn't compare with the Gu Corporation.

If there were levels, He Xinyan would say that the He Corporation was probably on the third level, whereas the Shen Corporation would be on the second level. And on the first level. . . Only one family fit on the first level - the Gu family.

He Xinyan handed the empty plate to a waiter walking by and decided to stop eating because her dress was beginning to feel a little tight.

Gu Yechen held onto her hand again, "Let's go talk with someone."

They walked together to the other side of the room, and the sight of them together was very eye-catching.

Gu Yechen stopped in front of a short man who had dark black hair, but also had several wrinkles on his face.

"CEO Liu," Gu Yechen called. The man turned around and his eyes widened from surprise and excitement when he saw Gu Yechen.

"CEO Gu! Is there anything I could help you with?" A second ago, Liu Qinli was still very proud and cold as he talked to a few other people trying to butter him up. However, once he saw Gu Yechen, his attitude immediately changed as he abandoned the people he were originally talking to.

Gu Yechen turned to He Xinyan and looked at her as he spoke, "This is my girlfriend, He Xinyan."

He Xinyan nodded her head politely, "Hello, CEO Liu."

Liu Qinli looked at He Xinyan and quickly eyed her from head to toe. He didn't know whether the woman next to Gu Yechen was only a mere short-term girlfriend or an actual partner, so he didn't want to lower himself too much but also didn't dare offend her.

From looking at her, Liu Qinli guessed that Gu Yechen was just playing around with her for a while because she was very pretty and Liu Qinli didn't recognize her as a daughter from any rich or powerful family.

"Hello," Liu Qinli replied as he squeezed out a smile.

"This is CEO Liu, the boss of LQ Entertainment and also the famous producer Liu Qinli." He Xinyan looked up at Gu Yechen in surprise as she recognized the words LQ Entertainment and the name Liu Qinli.

LQ Entertainment was the best entertainment company in all of Country Z, and only the top A-list celebrities had a chance to join.

The boss, Liu Qinli, was also a legend by himself. He was a film director, producer, and screenwriter, and every single film he participated in was extremely famous.

No wonder Gu Yechen brought her over with him. Was he trying to help her?

"CEO Gu, is there anything you need me for?" Liu Qinli asked again, hoping to build some connections with the bigshot in front of him.

"Yes, CEO Liu. My girlfriend is a newcomer to the entertainment industry, and I'm hoping you can help her in the future." Gu Yechen was very direct and didn't beat around the bush when asking for help. "Of course, I will also pay you back for your help."

Liu Qinli's eyes lit up when he heard the last sentence, and he looked towards He Xinyan again.

"Do you have any films?"

He Xinyan took a deep breath and tried her best to talk calmly in front of Liu Qinli, "No, but I will be starring in the film 'Beautiful Things Past' in a few weeks."

He Xinyan felt a little embarrassed saying it out loud, because she got the role from Gu Yechen, so it technically didn't prove anything about her.

Liu Qinli nodded his head, "CEO Gu, I will do my best to help Miss He in the future. I am currently planning another film, and I will keep an eye out for a suitable role for her."

Gu Yechen raised one eyebrow, "Suitable role? CEO Liu, I thought you would be more sincere about our deal. What I plan to give back to you is probably worth more than just a suitable role. I expect at least a second female lead for her."

Liu Qinli furrowed his eyebrows when he heard that, and even He Xinyan also scrunched her face up a little.

Second female lead? In all of Liu Qinli's films, even the fourth or fifth female leads were all top A-list celebrities. The first female lead would usually be the most famous and professional actress in all of Country Z. If no one in the country matched Liu Qinli's standards, he would even go out to different countries in search of an actress.

Second female lead? Her? He Xinyan was still fully aware of where she stood in the entertainment industry. She wasn't even a Z-list celebrity yet, if there was even such a thing. If she got a leading role in one of Liu Qinli's movies as a nobody, people would think that she used underhanded means to get it. And she did. . .

"Second female lead. . ." Liu Qinli repeated.

To break the awkward atmosphere, He Xinyan laughed slightly and said, "Gu Yechen, let's not discuss this now. Let me finish my first film first before thinking about my second film. Plus, Mr. Liu is a legend in the industry. I am not qualified to act as a main lead in his films yet."

Gu Yechen frowned a little as he looked once more at Liu Qinli. But if Xinyan didn't want it. . . he wasn't going to force her.

"Think about it," Gu Yechen said before walking away with He Xinyan. After a few more minutes, He Xinyan went back to eating food.

Although she told herself to stop, her hands and mouth wouldn't listen to her. The food at this party was even better than the expensive food from top restaurants He Xinyan had gone to!

He Xinyan ate happily and Gu Yechen always stayed by her side, slowly sipping on a glass of wine. The music had started and a few couples were dancing in the middle of the room.

"You can go and talk to whoever you need to talk to. I'm okay," He Xinyan said when she noticed that Gu Yechen was doing nothing but watching her. Most people came to these parties to socialize and build connections, but Gu Yechen was doing none of those.

Gu Yechen shook his head, "I like looking at you."

He Xinyan gulped and her mind wandered off to think about what Gu Yechen had said in the car again. It was already nine o'clock already, and the world outside was completely dark except for the moon hanging high in the sky.

Gu Yechen finished the remaining wine in his glass with one gulp and placed it onto the table. He walked to the front of He Xinyan and turned around to face her.

With a very attractive smile, Gu Yechen placed one hand behind his back and stretched the other hand out with the palm facing up.

He bowed down slightly like a prince and asked, "Would you like to dance?"
