Rejected by Blood, Embraced by Love: All-Round Star Goes Viral

How is she calmer than they are!?

It turns out Gu Zhi indeed doesn't need comforting, she even filmed more efficiently than usual, finishing the day's scenes quickly.

Everyone felt even more heartbroken, surely her biological parents always refusing to recognize her made Gu Zhi work even harder!

In no time, Gu Zhi became the darling of the entire crew.

Gu Zhi, on the other hand, didn't pay it much mind and finished all her remaining scenes in just three days.

On the wrap day, the crew had prepared gifts for her, and fans spontaneously organized themselves on site to support her.

Gu Zhi went out in her costume to take pictures with them, and fans were thrilled to see her in person.

They joyfully approached her and showed their concern:

"Zhi Zhi, are you okay these days? How's your condition?"

"Zhi Zhi, must be tiring filming, take a good rest now that it's wrapped up."

"Wifey, don't be sad, you still have us."

Gu Zhi smiled indulgently and shook her head, "I'm fine, you all take good care of yourselves too."

"We will! Knowing Zhi Zhi is fine puts our minds at ease."

"Ahhhh, wifey is so beautiful in real life, I suspect I've seen a fairy!"

"Wuwuwu, seeing you today means I can die without regrets."

"..."

The fans were overjoyed, taking pictures with Gu Zhi after getting her autograph.

It was Gu Zhi's first time participating in a fan support event; she confidently took many photos with them.

The support photos were quickly posted on Weibo by fans and studios.

These days, Gu Zhi hadn't been online much because of filming; fans and netizens were quite concerned about her condition, and the wrap mention on Weibo was a response.

Soon, photos of Gu Zhi's wrap support made their way to the trending searches through all sorts of fans.

Passersby couldn't help but click in and become hooked.

"Ahhhhh gorgeous, I'm here. Finally, the beauty is in business."

"Is there a new drama coming up? Gu Zhi's condition looks good, wasn't affected by that incident?"

"Zhi Zhi hasn't cared for a long time, not being affected is expected. Come to Taozi Video to book Zhi Zhi's new drama 'Double Time'~"

"Wow, isn't that fan in the middle a big fan of Gu Yiyi before? They actually climbed over to become a big fan of Gu Zhi, hahaha!"

"What's up with Gu Yiyi's big fan, haven't we all climbed over from there, T_T."

"/Tears, seeing Zhi Zhi is okay I'm at ease, life henceforth is smooth sailing @Gu Zhi."

Many expressed their blessings on Weibo.

Gu Zhi, however, didn't check her phone, removing her makeup and changing clothes before heading to the wrap party with the crew.

The director, who drank too much, pulled Gu Zhi aside, saying tearfully, "Thank goodness I chose you back then, this has been the most enjoyable film I've shot. Don't forget me if you ever become rich and famous. Remember Director Lin, who witnessed your road to stardom."

Actors and assistant directors nearby joked, "Director, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford her by then."

Hearing this, the director cried even more bitterly.

Gu Zhi smiled lightly but didn't respond, as she wouldn't easily make promises about uncertain matters. When taking roles, she paid more attention to the quality of the script and the team's capability.

Gu Zhi didn't eat much that evening. After finishing, she sat aside to watch them chat, while also organizing the materials sent by the studio.

Bai Yuelin, who had wrapped a few days earlier than her, came especially to attend tonight's wrap party.

Seeing that Gu Zhi had finished eating, he couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Gu Zhi, are you busy with your schedules in the near future? Can you do me a favor?"

"What is it?" Hearing this, Gu Zhi put down her phone and looked at him.

"It's like this." Bai Yuelin struggled with words, "The director of a variety show I shot before is now filming a dating reality show, and one of the romance observers cannot attend the next recording due to health reasons, and I happen to have no schedule conflicts. Knowing that I've been filming with you, they want me to ask if you are interested in helping them out?"

Gu Zhi is now known as the queen of variety shows; many shows wanted to extend an olive branch to her, since she naturally brings heat and topics, and that's precisely what variety shows need, right?

The variety show's director thought of this solution because he saw Gu Zhi filling in for "New Star Girl" last week.

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhi frowned slightly. She hadn't spoken when Bai Yuelin immediately added:

"It's that 'Actually, I Like You' dating show, already halfway aired. You can check it out; the director said you can name your price."

Gu Zhi: "..."

She pondered for a moment, picked up her phone, and said, "Let them discuss this with my agent."

Bai Yuelin then let out a sigh of relief, smiling, "Thanks, if you ever need help with anything, just let me know."

Gu Zhi nodded once.

Bai Yuelin looked at her, estimating that she probably wouldn't have anything needing his help anyway.

After the banquet ended, Gu Zhi left directly.

Dai Qian had already received the invitation from the "Actually, I Like You" program team, but considering Gu Zhi's tight schedule, he was worried she couldn't handle it.

He put a stack of documents in front of her, saying, "These are the commercials you need to shoot next; several of them were terminated from Gu Yiyi's endorsements and handed to us."

These days, Gu Yiyi continuously received contract termination notices from major brands, almost being labeled as a risk artist.

Even Gu Wenlin was implicated, having several endorsements that were set for renewal snatched by competitors.

Gu Zhi didn't mind, as long as there's money to be made, "No one thinks too much money; take jobs if we can."

Dai Qian snapped his fingers approvingly and said, "In the coming days, you will be shooting commercials, and there's the next recording of the talent show variety you took last week, and three days later, you will join the 'Little Alley Lady' crew for studies. The director specially found an etiquette teacher to teach you posture. As for the variety show handed over by Bai Yuelin, if you want to take it, you'll need to fit it into your schedule."

Gu Zhi frowned a bit, "Arrange it as you see fit."

Qu Qi beside them was dumbfounded, having to admire Gu Zhi's stress-handling capability. The tight schedule made even her anxious, and yet Sister Zhizhi managed it all effortlessly!

Although Qu Qi also ran around every day, she just needed to run errands and manage fan club matters, whereas Sister Zhizhi had to master various processes, memorize lines, find the right state, and crucially, do it all with ease!!

No wonder Sister Zhizhi is so popular; she deserves her success.

When they reached the apartment, the two of them walked her upstairs.

Just as they reached the door, they saw a bouquet of flowers tucked into the door handle.

Dai Qian looked around, not seeing anyone, instantly guessing who the flowers were from.

"!!!"

Since it's Gu Zhi's rising period, he naturally didn't want any scandals, not with anyone.

Even though Emperor Qi is widely acknowledged online as the dream man, top-tier, Gu Zhi is no less! Capable and gorgeous, why should she be tied up with anyone else!?

Couldn't the person across the way just hold back a bit? Wasn't the online fuss big enough!
