Chapter 230 Gossip [5th update, ask for recommendation tickets]

"Thank you, I didn't realize you were such a gentleman. I'll take the window seat then," Wu Shiyi said with a smile to Ge Dongxu.

Ge Dongxu hurriedly moved aside to let Wu Shiyi through.

As Wu Shiyi squeezed past, perhaps due to the limited space or perhaps because her hips were indeed quite perky, she unintentionally brushed against Ge Dongxu. The contact was quite firm and bouncy, startling Ge Dongxu enough to make him hastily retreat backward.

Seeing this, Ye Qianqian across the aisle gave a look of disdain, then turned to Wu Longcai and whispered in his ear, intermittently letting out a few crisp, pleasant laughs.

As the head of the entertainment station, Wu Longcai was certainly no Liuxia Hui who could resist temptation. Used to such scenes, seeing that Ye Qianqian was clearly trying to curry favor with him, he didn't play coy. He intentionally leaned a bit closer to her, occasionally making physical contact, and his hand would sometimes caress her thigh. At those times, Ye Qianqian would pinch Wu Longcai coquettishly and seductively, completely shedding any image of innocence, appearing instead as a thoroughly enticing vixen.

"Dongxu, you're probably not even twenty years old, right? Why are you flying alone to Beijing? Could it be that you're studying there?" After the plane took off, perhaps out of boredom, Wu Shiyi curiously asked Ge Dongxu.

"You're not an entertainment gossip journalist, are you? I'm certainly no star," Ge Dongxu replied with a laugh.

Wu Shiyi was momentarily stunned, then she pursed her lips and giggled, lightly hitting Ge Dongxu as she said, "You seem so serious, but I didn't expect you to be witty! I'm not some entertainment gossip journalist; I actually graduated in broadcasting."

"Although I rarely watch TV, I do glance at it occasionally. How come I've never seen you?" Ge Dongxu asked curiously.

"There are only so many programs on TV, and it's not easy for a newcomer like me to get on. Even if I do, it would be during the least desirable times. You hardly watch TV, so naturally, you wouldn't notice," she whispered into Ge Dongxu's ear, perhaps worried that Director Wu overheard her.

"Director, this Wu Shiyi really doesn't know restraint, even stooping to such levels," Ye Qianqian said with thick contempt and disdain, whispering into the director's ear.

Ye Qianqian didn't see Ge Dongxu's expression turn cold as she spoke.

"Don't think too much," Wu Longcai said to Ye Qianqian after giving a glance towards Wu Shiyi.

"As if I would think too much. Just look at how she dresses all flashy at the TV station every day; who is she trying to seduce?" Ye Qianqian whispered.

"Heh heh, I don't know about her, but you dress so conservatively every day, causing quite a regret among many at the station! You should really try to emulate Wu Shiyi; that would be a treat for us men," Wu Longcai said naughtily.

"Director, you're so bad, I'm not talking to you anymore!" hearing this, Ye Qianqian pouted and playfully hit and pinched Wu Longcai, making all the surrounding men go weak at the knees, wishing they could trade places with him. Only Ge Dongxu slightly frowned, his eyes flashing with a hint of disgust.

For a woman like Ye Qianqian, no matter how beautiful or coquettish, Ge Dongxu had nothing but disdain.

"I see, but in any field, as long as you work hard, there will always be opportunities," Ge Dongxu said smilingly to Wu Shiyi.

"Hehe, maybe you're right," Wu Shiyi laughed, her smile tinged with reluctance and resignation.

Ge Dongxu was still just a high school student after all, and there were many social phenomena and rules he didn't understand yet. Naturally, he couldn't comprehend the helplessness in Wu Shiyi's smile, nor did he know that for newcomers like her to rise in rank, it took more than just hard work—there were many other prices to pay.

Even after paying those prices, many newcomers still might not get the chance to advance.

"By the way, you still haven't told me what you were doing in Beijing. I can't help it, women are naturally curious, and women in our industry are even more so," Wu Shiyi quickly set aside the complex emotions in her heart and asked Ge Dongxu with a smile.

She really was somewhat curious about Ge Dongxu. After all, no matter how ordinary Ge Dongxu's clothes were, the fact that he dined with Liu Jiayao and flew first class to Beijing already suggested something out of the ordinary.

After all, in their industry, they saw plenty of officials and wealthy people, but even though Ge Dongxu seemed a bit unusual, he couldn't compare to people like Li Bisheng last time. Hence, Ye Qianqian, who was a bit mercenary, didn't take Ge Dongxu very seriously.

Perhaps it was because Ge Dongxu indeed had something unusual about him that when Wu Shiyi asked again, Ye Qianqian and Wu Longcai across the aisle also looked over at Ge Dongxu, their eyes filled with a hint of curiosity.

"Okay, I'll satisfy your curiosity. I haven't attended university yet, and I won't be going to study in Beijing in the future either. This trip to Beijing is to visit a friend," Ge Dongxu said.

"A girl?" Wu Shiyi immediately asked again, her curiosity rekindled.

"A guy," Ge Dongxu replied crisply.

"Who are you kidding? All the way from Linzhou to Beijing just to see a guy?" Wu Shiyi expressed her disbelief.

"Don't believe it then," Ge Dongxu laughed.

"I mean, Ge Dongxu, what exactly is your relationship with Director Liu? How come you were eating with her last time? And how did you end up in first class?" Suddenly, Ye Qianqian also became curious and asked.

But when she asked this question, it clearly carried a hint of disdain for Ge Dongxu.

"Right, now it's my turn to ask you. What are you doing in Beijing this time?" Ge Dongxu ignored Ye Qianqian and instead asked Wu Shiyi with a smile.

"Hey, what's the meaning of this, Ge Dongxu? I'm asking you!" Ye Qianqian, who usually had numerous men after her because of her good looks and figure, was surprised to find that Ge Dongxu paid no attention to her question. Annoyed, her pretty face tightened as she aggressively demanded an answer.

"When you learn to respect others, then come and ask me what I mean," Ge Dongxu responded indifferently.

"When have I ever disrespected you? Is there something wrong with my question? Don't think that just because you don't answer, I don't know—it's all thanks to Director Liu that you can sit here," Ye Qianqian's attitude made her even more furious out of embarrassed anger.

"Since you already know, then why ask?" Ge Dongxu replied, still calm and unruffled.

"I knew it! People like you can't afford first class anyway. What are you showing off for? It's all because you rely on..." Seeing Ge Dongxu respond in this way, Ye Qianqian thought she had hit the nail on the head, her face grew more mocking, and her words became sharper and more sarcastic.
