Chapter 36 Being In The Limelight
There were a lot of well-known entertainers present at Director Guo''s birthday party. It was obvious that
he maintained one of the highest positions in the industry.
When Julia arrived, there were many media outlets outside the venue. She was a little nervous.
Fortunately, Consu was there to apany her.
"Take it easy. Have a talk with Director Guo when you see him," Consu said, trying tofort her.
To Julia''s surprise, Director Guo came to her when she entered the hall. He gently took her hand in his
and said, "Miss Gu, you''re here! I''ve been waiting for you for a long time."
"We apologize that you had to wait for so long, Director Guo." Consu sheepishly smiled. "Please
ept this gift from Julia."
Director Guo nodded his head. "Look at you, you''re so polite."
As he spoke, he gave the box to someone behind him.
He looked at Julia and asked, "Miss Gu, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure." Julia nced at Consu, and nodded in agreement.

"I really like this script. If it''s shot well, then it will be a hit nation-wide. Both the male and female leads
are A-list artists and I''ve spent so much money on this movie. I called you over because I''d like for you
to ept the female supporting actress in this movie. Are you confident that you are qualified for the
role?" Director Guo asked Julia, a gleam in his eyes.
He was doing this for Jean''s sake, but Julia also looked so much like the female supporting actress in
the movie.
He had no idea that Jean wrote the supporting role to mirror Julia''s image.
"Director Guo, you think so highly of me. I will definitely do my best to perform well, but..." Julia''s face
contorted into a frown, confused. "Don''t I need to audition? I''m afraid—"
"It doesn''t matter," Director Guo interrupted her with a broad grin. "I am already satisfied with your
image and temperament. I''ve been trying to look for the perfect supporting actress, but I haven''t found
anyone more suitable other than you. I have seen your previous work and I am confident in your acting
skills. Moreover,
the reason why I asked you here is because someone has also rmended you."
Julia raised and curved her brows in confusion. Pressing her lips together, she asked, "May I ask who it
was? Just so I can thank them."
"You''ll know in a minute," Director Guo replied with a sly smile.
He patted on Julia''s shoulder and politely excused himself. "I have to greet other guests now. You have
fun.".
"Okay." After Director Guo left, Julia began to wonder who had rmended her. She thought about it
over and over again. The only person who was willing to help her was Samuel.
Consu saw Julia grimacing in silence and walked up to her. "What did Director Guo say to you?"
Julia narrated what had just happened. Cocking her head, she asked Consu, "Do you think Samuel
rmended me? He''s the only one willing to help."
"It must be him," Consu said without hesitation. "You should thank himter. Although he looks like
an unreliable person, he''s a good friend, especially during critical moments like this."
Juliaughed at Consu''sment.
Now that she owed him twice, she was considering how she would thank himter.
"Ladies and gentlemen..." Julia had a ss in her hand and was about to drink until the host began to
speak. "Wee to Director Guo''s birthday party and also the kickoff celebration of his new movie. We
would now like to invite him to speak up on stage."
With a burst of apuse, Director Guo went on the stage, wearing a big dimpled smile on his face. He
cleared his throat and announced, "Thank you for your kindness. You are all my friends in this industry
and I''m sure you all know me very well.
Today is not only my birthday, but also the celebration for my uing film. So, I would also like to
introduce the author and the screenwriter. Please wee the beautiful writer—Miss Jean Gu." When
Julia heard Director Guo mention Jean''s name, she thought she heard it wrong. However, she saw her
sister getting up on stage. With a gaping jaw, she realized that she was the person who had
rmended her to the director.
Jean was wearing a white evening dress, looking like a lotus quietly blooming over the water. The
banquet hall suddenly became quiet and everyone was gawking at her.
However, Jean directed her gaze at Julia, before looking away. Julia kept silent as this happened.
Consu apparently wasn''t aware that Jean was the scriptwriter. With a clenched jaw, she turned to
Julia. "How can it be her?"
"I don''t know either." Julia slightly shook her head in confusion. She had a strong feeling that things
wouldn''t be so simple.
"Isn''t she Terence''s fiancee?"
"Yes, I heard that they were preparing for marriage. The other day, the media had photographed them
as they were choosing rings."
"I really envy her. She is so beautiful and will marry a good-looking husband. More importantly, she is
also a talented writer. No wonder Terence is marrying her."
Julia''s face turned into a scowl as she heard thements circting around her.
Consu firmly grabbed Julia''s hand and whispered, "Don''t forget what you promised me."
"I know." Swallowing her anger, Julia forced herself to calm down as she looked at her sister on stage.
She only found today that Jean had be a famous writer.
Jean looked at the media with shing eyes and said, "First of all, I would like to thank Director Guo for
giving me this opportunity. To be honest, I am still very nervous, as it is my first piece."
After a pause, she continued, "But he reassured me that there was nothing to be afraid of. He said that
he would showcase my work with the best quality, so I chose to believe him.
Because of him, this movie has such a good director and excellent actors. I truly believe that this movie
will be a sess. I would like to invite the media, our friends, and the audience to look forward to this
masterpiece with me."
Director Guo''s face lit up into a grin as Jean said this.
After a round of apuse, some reporters recognized Jean and began to ask her about her rtionship
with Terence. "Miss Gu, aren''t you the woman who was selecting rings with Mr. Chen the other
day?"
