“Alright then. It seems like I worried too much. It’s true that you’ve matured a lot.”
Lin Che smiled. “Of course.”
Everyone was looking at Lin Che. Although she had not won the award, there was still a lot of attention on her. This was especially so after the ceremony had ended; all the reporters came to ask her how she felt about missing out on the award.
Lin Che said confidently, “I’ve already tried my best to achieve the award, so whether or not I actually attain it is not important. Since the committee didn’t give me the award, it’s a sign that I’m still lacking. I’ll continue to work hard in the future. After all, this was my first film. The fact that we could get such a good script and do so well at the box office, shows that my colleagues and I have already tried our best.”
Everyone again asked, “Then, were you surprised that Qin Wanwan came to attend the award ceremony today?”
“In the first place, celebrities have always been invited to award ceremonies. I won’t be taken aback no matter who I see here.”
She carried herself very well and did not seem uncomfortable at all. Her fans posted comments on the Internet consoling her. She might not have won the award, but they saw how she had matured. Baby Che had already performed very well. In variety programs, she was able to let herself go and enjoy herself. In formal events like these, she could also be such a goddess. She did not look awkward at all and was truly good at dealing with people.
Lin Che got into the car and surfed the Internet. She saw that the comments on the Internet were all very positive. The fact that she had not tried to snatch the spotlight from Qin Wanwan also led people to point out that Lin Che was the one who had been nominated and thus attended the ceremony. On the other hand, what had Qin Wanwan done? She had merely gone there to sing and even took the chance to walk the red carpet. She was truly shameless.
Lin Che smiled when she read this. She thought to herself that although Qin Wanwan had managed to get some attention this time, she had also received a lot of criticism.
It was great. The fact that the netizens were starting to criticize her meant that she had also gained some anti-fans.
Lin Che went to Gu Jingze’s company first before going home with Gu Jingze who had still been at work.
After getting into the car, Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che who was in the rear seat with an expression of complete fatigue. Then, he asked, “Why? Are you disappointed that you didn’t get the award?”
Lin Che said, “It’s not that I’m disappointed. I just feel a little tired. Ah, I know that many people toil for many years before winning an award. This is only my first year…”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. “Are we heading home right now or do you want to go somewhere first?”
Lin Che pondered for a bit before saying, “In that case… I don’t want to go home. Let’s drive somewhere else.”
Gu Jingze said, “Alright.”
He instructed the driver to alight first. Then, he personally drove the car and took Lin Che on a night drive.
Gu Jingze asked her if she had a destination in mind. Lin Che shook her head because she really did not have one.
She looked outside and saw that they were nearly reaching the outskirts. She asked, “Why don’t we go to another city nearby and drive around?”
“At this time?”
“Yes… let’s go on a… random vacation. Isn’t that good?”
A random vacation?
Fine…
Gu Jingze shook his head. “Let’s go. We’ll go wherever we want to go.”
A life where one did as he pleased seemed very interesting too.
After driving for three hours, they only reached a city nearby in the wee hours of the morning.
Compared to B City, this place was doing pretty well economically. But ultimately, it was a small city and had a lot fewer people. It had a vast territory, a sparse population and seemed very novel.
It was already past midnight. Lin Che yawned and looked around in wonder. Then, she said, “This place is really not bad. Let’s look for a hotel and rest up first. We’ll go out again tomorrow.”
Gu Jingze nodded.
Because it was a small city, Lin Che did not need to cover herself up too much to prevent herself from being recognized. Although everyone would cast a sideways glance at her because they found her attractive, it was inconceivable to them that a celebrity as famous as her would come to this small city for no reason. This city was the type of place where no celebrity would step foot in for many years. When a shopping mall happened to hold some event, even the attendance of some third-rate celebrity was enough to inspire awe among the people.
Thus, Lin Che already felt at ease with just a mask covering her mouth.
When they arrived at the hotel, Lin Che was about to check-in using her identity card when Gu Jingze stopped her and said,
“I’ll check-in.”
Lin Che froze. Then, she remembered that everyone would probably recognize her if they saw the name Lin Che on her identity card.
However, people from small cities did not usually read economic news. Although they might know of Gu Jingze if his name was mentioned, it was unlikely that they would think of him upon seeing the name on his identity card.
Very soon after, Gu Jingze went in to open a room.
