Chapter 30: Invested Specially For You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Hello, Director Yang. May I know why you’re looking for me?”

Gu Li’s EQ was still relatively high. Even though the production team didn’t want her, she was still able to maintain a polite smile towards the director.

“Miss Gu, I’m really sorry about yesterday. You know how high Qiu Yuxin’s status is in the entertainment circle. She insisted on messing with you, so our production team couldn’t do anything about it.”

Director Yang explained to her again in an apologetic tone.

Gu Li said casually, “Director Yang, you guys have also compensated me for the breach of contract. So let’s just let bygones be bygones.”

Actually, it wasn’t that she didn’t bear grudges, but it was just that she didn’t want to waste her time on such a small matter.

“Miss Gu, are you still willing to come back to the show?”

Director Yang’s voice pulled Gu Li’s wandering thoughts back to the conversation.

Gu Li was surprised. “You want me to go back? Didn’t you say…”

“Previously, we couldn’t do anything about Qiu Yuxin. But the new investors of the show likes you a lot, so… Qiu Yuxin has compromised.”

“The investor likes me? Which investor?”

Gu Li was even more surprised.

Could that person be Mo Shiting?

No way, it can be anyone but him. After all, the Mo family rules state clearly that one isn’t allowed to work in the entertainment industry .

“GT Group. Some of their executives are fans of your comic, so they specially invested in the show for you this time.”

Director Yang smiled.

Gu Li: “…”

The GT Group had only been established five years ago, but it had already become a leader in the technology industry, and it was a company that countless information technology geniuses dreamed of entering.

Why would such a company invest in a variety show that has nothing to do with technology because of a small comic author like me?

It’s a little unbelievable.

“Miss Gu—”

Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Director Yang said, “In order to express our sincerity, we’ll increase your pay to 500,000 yuan, so it’ll be five times higher than before. If you’re willing to come back to the programme, we’ll officially start the recording tomorrow. What do you say?”

“…”

Gu Li pursed her lips and was hesitating in her mind.

On one hand, this was indeed a good platform for her to show her face. As long as she gets popular from participating in the show, she would definitely have a chance to find her master.

But on the other hand…

Thinking back on the Mo family rules, she sighed subconsciously. “I’m sorry, but I…”

Before she could reject him, Director Yang interrupted her. “You should think about it. I still have something to do, so I can’t talk to you for now. I’ll wait for your response.”

With that, without even waiting for her response, he quickly hung up the phone.

Gu Li: “???”

“Boss, what do you think? Will you agree to go?”

Big Ha cared about this even more than Gu Li.

Gu Li glanced at him. At this moment, another call came in.

This time, it was Old Master Mo.

He specially called to ask if she had successfully removed the fishbone from her throat.

Faced with Old Master’s undisguised concern, a trace of warmth flashed across Gu Li’s heart.

The two of them chatted for a while before Gu Li suddenly thought of the Mo family rules and she couldn’t help but ask, “Grandpa, if I really violate the 101st Mo family rule one day, what will the consequences be?”

“It’ll depend on how Mo Shiting handles it.”

“Huh? Depends on how he handles it? Then, would it even be alright if he doesn’t punish me?”

“Yes.”

“Huh? But those are the family rules that the Mo family has been following for hundreds of years. Why can Mo Shiting decide to or to not punish someone alone? If he really has so much power, why did he have to get married or turn 30 years old before he could inherit the position of the family head?”

Gu Li was confused.

“This… You should go and ask that brat yourself.”

Old Master Mo didn’t answer her directly.

“Okay.”

Seeing that Old Master Mo was unwilling to talk more about it, Gu Li didn’t dig deeper into this topic either.

However, since Mo Shiting was the one punishing her for breaking the family rules, she had nothing to be afraid of.

At the thought of this, Gu Li immediately decided to participate in ‘The Charming Female Star’..
