Most of the comments under Gu Ning’s post were positive, and it was rare to see a negative comment.
Su Tongnuo and the other supporting actors also reposted the post and supported Gu Ning.
Su Tongnuo: I would have gone to the set if I had heard that our boss would be there!
Bai Lin: I wish I could have seen her performance with my own eyes.
Han Lengxuan: I’m amazed too.

It was already 9 pm when Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao got back home, so they each went to their own rooms afterwards.
When Gu Ning was free, she took out her phone and checked her new messages. Many of her friends said that they were stunned by her acting.
Gu Ning also chatted with Chu Peihan and her other friends in their WeChat group.
Chu Peihan told Gu Ning that she would come to the capital in a few days. Although there were over 10 days away from the new semester, she wanted to meet Gu Ning earlier, because it was late August now, and their university life would soon begin.
Gu Ning then asked Yu Mixi whether she was free. If she wasn’t busy, she could come to the capital along with Chu Peihan. Therefore, Yu Mixi decided to go to the capital with Chu Peihan three days later. Hao Ran and the other boys also wanted to go to see Gu Ning earlier.
So it was decided that Yu Mixi, Chu Peihan, Mu Ke, Hao Ran, and Zhang Tianping would go to meet Gu Ning together. And while Chu Peihan and Yu Mixi would stay in Gu Ning’s home in Century City, the boys would stay in the Huangdeng Hotel.
Although those who couldn’t go were unhappy, they had other arrangements and couldn’t cancel them.
…
At 10 pm, Gu Ning chatted with Leng Shaoting on the phone for a long time again. She told him that her friends would come to see her in three days, and Leng Shaoting didn’t say anything about it, instead he proposed to let them stay in the Shengshi Hotel.
Gu Ning didn’t want to upset Leng Shaoting, so she agreed to move Mu Ke, Hao Ran, and Zhang Tianping to the Shengshi Hotel.
Because Mu Ke, Hao Ran, and Zhang Tianping preferred to sleep in the same suite, Leng Shaoting arranged a luxurious suite with three bedrooms for them.
…
The next morning, Gu Ning received Ning Changkai’s call at 11 am, and Ning Changkai told her that Peng Zijie came to see him again. He gave Peng Zijie Gu Ning’s number, and thought that Peng Zijie would contact her soon.
Gu Ning said that she could handle it, then hung up the call. Within a minute, her phone indeed rang again.
“Hi,” said Gu Ning in a calm tone.
“Are you the owner of Kouzi, Gu Ning?” asked Peng Zijie with obvious arrogance. He thought he was superior to Gu Ning.
Peng Zijie learned a little about Gu Ning through the Internet, but he didn’t think that she was an important figure.
“Yeah, and who is this?” asked Gu Ning, although she already knew who he was.
“This is the vice president of the branch of Lanio in our country, Peng Zijie. I know that you already know why I am calling you, and I hope that we can have a nice talk face to face,” said Peng Zijie.
“Sure, when and where,” asked Gu Ning.
“Do you know Tangyun Teahouse? If it’s possible, we can meet there at 2 pm this afternoon, because I’m busy this morning and night,” said Peng Zijie.
Gu Ning thought that it was ridiculous, because it was Peng Zijie who wanted to talk about business with her, so he should be polite to her. Anyway, Gu Ning decided to see him in person.
“Sure, see you in Tangyun Teahouse at 2 pm.”
She had been to Tangyun Teahouse before, so she knew it.
After that, Gu Ning directly hung up on Peng Zijie. She knew that Peng Zijie would be displeased if she hung up on him, so she did it on purpose.
Peng Zijie was indeed mad when Gu Ning hung up on him, because he thought that he deserved great respect. However, he himself wasn’t respectful of other people.
After having lunch, Gu Ning asked Jing Yunyao, “Mother, I need to deal with my business later. Do you want to go with me?”
“Since it’s business, I don’t think I should go with you,” said Jing Yunyao, who knew that Gu Ning was afraid that she might feel bored if she stayed home alone.
“It’s fine. I’m simply going to threaten him to give up the idea of acquiring my cosmetics brand,” said Gu Ning.
“Alright, I’ll go with you,” said Jing Yunyao. Since Gu Ning was going to be a bad girl, she thought that she should support her.
Therefore, when it was 1 pm, Gu Ning left with Jing Yunyao. It was a little early, but Gu Ning always tried to be punctual.
At 1:30 pm, Gu Ning and Jing Yunyao arrived at Tangyun Teahouse, then they waited in the car till 1:50 pm before Gu Ning called Peng Zijie.
“Hi, Mr. Peng, I’ve arrived,” said Gu Ning.
“I already booked a private room, you can just tell the receptionist my name. I’ll be there in a few minutes,” said Peng Zijie.
