Chapter 1148: Cast Your Rival

In the director’s office.

Gu Ranzhi stood outside the door and knocked. Soon, a voice came from inside. “Come in. ”

Pushing the door open, Gu Ranzhi entered. The director also raised his head from his desk. The corners of his eyes twitched as he looked at the figure that was wrapped up from top to bottom.

Gu Ranzhi took off his hat and mask at the same time. “Mr. Chen, it’s me. ”

“Huh? Ranzhi? When did you come back? ”

Seeing Gu Ranzhi, President Chen was extremely happy. He stood up and came out of the room. He pulled Gu Ranzhi to the guest couch at the side and sat down.

“What do you want to drink? I’ll pour it for you. ”

“Plain water, ” Gu Ranzhi replied curtly.

The two of them had been acquainted for many years, so they were close.

Soon, President Chen came over with a glass of water and handed it to Gu Ranzhi. Then, he sat down across from him. “Have you been doing well outside? ”

“Yes, not bad. ”

“All right. It’s not like I haven’t heard about what goes on in the entertainment industry. If you have any difficulties, you must tell me, got it? ”

Back when Gu Ranzhi entered the entertainment industry, President Chen was the person backing him.

With the director of Yun City’s No. 1 Hospital backing him, Gu Ranzhi had witnessed many bigwigs attempt to curry favor with him.

Therefore, all these years, his career had been going smoothly without much problem.

Other than the connection with President Chen, Gu Ranzhi had also known the owner of Yinhuang Media, Qiao Yu, and his manager, Huo Ye, since young.

“Now that you mention it, there seems to be a small problem, ” said Gu Ranzhi.

President Chen waved his hand. “Speak! ”

Gu Ranzhi took two sips of water from his glass. “I want to ask for a period of time off work for my mother. ”

“That… I’m afraid that won’t do. You know the situation at the Department of Thoracic Surgery. How can we afford to lose Department Head Wen? ”

“Mr. Chen, unlike before, there are many doctors in the department now. ”

Besides, they were all top-notch medical school graduates.

President Chen thought for a while before asking, “Why did you suddenly think of applying for leave for Department Head Wen? ”

Gu Ranzhi slightly swirled the glass of water. Fortunately, there was not much water in it, so it did not spill out. He narrowed his eyes slightly. “Mr. Chen, I don’t believe that you don’t know why! ”

“What a cunning old fox! ” mused Gu Ranzhi.

President Chen had known Wen Jie much earlier than that person from the Gu family back then. Therefore, President Chen knew some of the things that happened back then. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suddenly called Wen Jie from Jin City to Yun City back then, such that Wen Jie settled in Yun City for twenty years and counting.

When he thought of the things that happened back then, President Chen also furrowed his brows tightly. In the end, he said, “All right, I’ll agree to it. However, does Department Head Wen know about this… ? ”

“I’ll tell her myself. ”

“All right. ”

The two of them chatted for a while longer before Gu Ranzhi left the director’s office.

The moment he left, he called his manager.

“Help me book a flight ticket to Spring City and a hotel room there. ”

“Are you going to Spring City for a vacation? ”

“My mom will. I’ll send you the necessary information right away. ”

“Sure. I’ll make sure it’s done properly. ”

As the general manager of Yinhuang Media, Huo Ye was a high-class VIP no matter where he was. A word from him was all it took for things to be done.

Huo Ye continued, “By the way, remember to come to the company when you’re done with your business. There’s a script that’s pretty good. Come and take a look. If you think it’s okay, we’ll decide on it. ”

“Okay, ” replied Gu Ranzhi.

He had just asked Huo Ye to help him with something, so he naturally couldn’t reject the latter’s request outright.

Besides, he wouldn’t want to miss out on a good script.

Huo Ye continued to share information, “It’s said that the director initially wanted to cast your rival. Who knew that that rival would suddenly announce his withdrawal from the industry! Furthermore, that rival recommended you to the director! ”
