Chapter 581: Past Events

was suddenly pinched.Zhou Shuangqing instinctively raised her head and saw Pu Yun Gu Xia's angular, handsome face bathed in the light.Puyun Gusha seemed dissatisfied, only one hand could grab Zhou Shu...However, before Gu Ke'yu could finish his words, he was interrupted by director Zhang Yucheng.

"Oh, I brought you here to eat not to save you money. What are you thinking, you silly girl Don't underestimate this place. Although the environment doesn't look great, the food here is absolutely top-notch. Just try it and see for yourself."

After Zhang Yucheng finished speaking, he did not give Gu Ke'yu another chance to speak. He directly pulled her into the small restaurant.

This small restaurant's interior was even more rudimentary than its exterior. The small space was furnished with a few tables, chairs, and benches, and that was about it. Those tables, chairs, and benches also seemed to be quite old, and Gu Ke Yu even saw a table with a noticeable crack on its surface.

Zhang Yucheng led Gu Keyu to a table and sat down with ease. At this time, an elderly man came out from the back kitchen and greeted Zhang Yucheng with a smile.

"Oh, Xiao Zhang, it's been a while since you've been here. Who is this next to you Is this your daughter She's so pretty."

The elderly person was hunched over, looking to be in their sixties or seventies. Their face was creased with wrinkles, but they gave off a feeling of warmth and kindness.

Director Zhang Yucheng smiled shyly and quickly shook his head.

"Boss, please don't tease me! Where would a single guy like me get such a big daughter This is a new girl who just joined our line of work. She acts really well, she's particularly spirited, and besides, if you look closely, doesn't she resemble someone"

The boss chuckled twice, turned his head to carefully examine Gu Guguo, and then nodded. This left Gu Guguo feeling very puzzled.

"You really are! You, little girl, have a few points of the charm of that former Jia Ying! Both of you look very youthful and beautiful, likable."

Gu Ke Yu lowered her head shyly, a blush spreading across her cheeks.

"Thank you, boss, for the compliment. I... I'm still far behind Senior Zhou Jia Ying."

The boss let out a few hearty laughs, said nothing, and turned back to the kitchen.

Zhang Yucheng, the director, smiled and nodded. He was a regular customer at this restaurant and had been friends with the owner for many years. The owner knew his favorite dishes by heart and didn't even need him to say anything.

Gu Ke Yu glanced at the menu on the table. It looked very ordinary, just common home-cooked dishes, even she who rarely cooked almost knew how to make them.

The boss first served them a pot of tea and chatted with Director Zhang Yucheng for a few words, then turned and smiled and walked away.

"Hey girl, you don't know this. The first time I came here to eat, the boss was still a middle-aged man, and I was just a young punk who had just stepped out of his shell and was short on money. I accidentally discovered this little shop. It was cheap and surprisingly delicious. Later on, when I met Yinxia, I always brought her here to eat. We've been coming here for half our lives."

Zhang Yucheng, director, reminisced with a gentle smile on his face, as if he were both explaining to Gu Ke'yu and recalling past events.

Gu Ke'yu stared blankly at director Zhang Yucheng. In her impression, director Zhang Yucheng had always been developing in mainland China before becoming famous and then going south. Senior Zhou Jia'ying had grown up in the south since childhood and she had never heard of coming to the mainland for a long time. How could she often come to this restaurant to eat

"Senior Zhou Jia Ying doesn't usually live in the south, does she How come..."

She indeed lives in the south permanently and she really likes our inland cuisine, especially this restaurant.

Director Zhang Yucheng picked up the water glass on the table and poured himself and Gu Keyu each a glass. He took a light sip, then began to tell Gu Keyu about it.

When Jia Ying became famous all over the country, you were still young. All your generation knew was that she was a red rose in the entertainment industry, but few people knew that she often traveled between Haicheng and the south. At first, she wasn't developing in the south. It was only because the inland entertainment circle had just started at that time, and her agent had some connections with the south that she shifted her focus there.

Gu Ke'yu suddenly realized, no wonder Zhou Jia-ying's ancestral home was in the inland but she was a southern artist, there was such a past behind it.

Before she went south, Jia Ying was just an unknown little actress in the inland.

Director Chang Yucheng sighed, his eyes sparkling.

"Back then, we were both new to the entertainment industry, so we became good friends. After I brought her here for a meal, we started coming here often. Even the owner knew us both and eventually became our friend too."

Zhang Yu Cheng spoke as he turned his head to look at the furnishings inside the small restaurant, his eyes filled with deep longing and nostalgia.

“I still remember back then, every time we got off work it was already late at night, and there were hardly any other shops open on the street. Only here, no matter how late it was, the boss would always wait for the two of us, so after we finished work, the first thing we did was rush here.”

Jia Ying always starts complaining about wanting to eat their signature dish on the way there. She especially likes the chef's skills at this restaurant, and she can always eat a lot every time.

“Back then, the owner of the shop was still young, his father was the head chef in the kitchen. It's a pity that the master chef has been gone for many years now, so we can't enjoy his cooking anymore! Back then, the domestic economy was developing slowly, who had the money to eat out every day”

"So business has been really bad. The only reason it hasn't closed down like other restaurants is because Jia Ying and I work on set, so we get off work very late every day and can't eat at other places! We've become regulars here, so this place has managed to stay open."

Director Zhang Yucheng's smile lessened a few points, suddenly making Gu Ke yu feel quite sad.

He was talking about things that happened decades ago, but it gave Gu Ke'yu the feeling that it all happened yesterday. She seemed to have traveled through time and saw the two young men and women laughing and eating together.

"Director Zhang, you and Ms. Zhou Jiaying Yinxia must have been very good friends before!"

"Yes! We are the best of friends."

"Before she left for the south, we were practically inseparable, both on set and in our daily lives..."

Director Zhang Yucheng paused mid-sentence, his eyes slowly filling with a sense of wistful sadness.

Later, she was introduced to someone and went south with her manager, rarely coming back inland. As for me, I worked hard in the crew for many years, enduring hardships before gradually becoming an assistant director, and then a director. Later on, I also went south to film scripts.snapping back once, Gu Ke Yu turned her head away and stopped looking at Gu Ke Jun. She turned her body and said pointedly, "You better get out, I don't welcome people like you in my ward.""Well, are...
