But Lin Che did not mind. She grinned to the interpreter and said, “It’s okay. You will get tired of standing.”
“Don’t worry, Sister Lin Che. Your complexion is more important,” replied the interpreter.
“That will do. Come down now. I don’t get tanned easily because of my body constitution,” reassured Lin Che.
“Ah… Is that so?”
Lin Che took out her phone and saw a WeChat voice message from Yu Minmin.
“Did you see the news?” asked Yu Minmin.
“What?”
“Qin Wanwan went to Los Angeles.”
“Why?”
“Hollywood called her over for an audition for your role. It’s all over the news now that she might be replacing you.”
Lin Che was completely unaware. She clicked on the reports and scanned through them. Then, she knew what had happened.
“How are things going for you?” asked Yu Minmin. “I believe that this is just a precautionary measure before filming begins, to not delay production if something happens. She may not replace you. As to why was she chosen, I heard someone pulled strings for her. Most likely she is acquainted with Henry’s lover, Mary, the woman whom the one you hit. I can’t help but suspect that this happened because of her as well,” she continued.
That Qin Wanwan had really taken her as her imaginary rival. Every single time Lin Che got her hands on something, Qin Wanwan would want to have a share of it.
“Mary? I heard people calling her Malary.”
“That’s probably her nickname.”
“Well, that’s Qin Wanwan for you, always able to link up with her. What more can I say? Working in this industry always means that one has to rely on one’s capabilities.”
“Alright, if it doesn’t work out, come back. We are not in short of production offers anyway.”
“Hm… Aren’t you supposed to have an interview?”
“I will return very quickly.”
“I must not hinder you from attending to your state affairs,” teased Lin Che. She joked around with Yu Minmin to give her peace of mind so that she could focus on her interview.
“Forget it. Our matter concerns big bucks. The interview is nothing comparable to that,” remarked Yu Minmin.
“Nonsense, what’s more important? Fulfilling the duties as the President’s wife or earning money?” Lin Che poked fun at her.
“Of course, it’s earning money. Being the President’s wife is nothing.”
She should not abuse her power because it was high and reputable status and therefore, should not make mistakes. To think that the president had control over everything… that was not true.
The president is no better than the CEO. For example, Gu Jingze who was more carefree could be more open in his means of dealing with his rivals. However, Gu Jingming could only resort to underhanded means.
“Go go go, are you saying that you are hard up? The President’s wife is saying that she is poor. Who would believe this?”
Lin Che could not bother to entertain her any longer.

Yu Minmin put down the phone and shook her head involuntarily. This Lin Che was truly…
She was staying at the A Nation’s Presidential Residence, but it was incomparable to Glass Palace. Although both were Presidential Residences, this place was just not as grand.
Yu Minmin was about to get down and the servants rushed over to help her. “Please be careful, Madam,” they said.
“Thank you. I am completely well already. You do not have to be this exceptionally careful around me.” said Yu Minmin, feeling a little embarrassed.
Don’t have to be careful around her?
The servants would not dare to act hastily.
They were the servants of A Nation’s Presidential Residence. They honored this distinguished guest much more than their master.
She heard that the President’s wife of C Nation had met with a mishap while she was here but fortunately was saved. A Nation would not dare to offend the President of C Nation. Thus, when that happened, Mr. President of A Nation came in-person to apologize for their incomprehensive security measures which were unlike that of C Nation.
In fact, after meeting the President of C Nation and personal bodyguards, they felt that A Nation was indeed lacking. But how could they compare to C Nation which was so much bigger in size?
While the servants were still holding onto her, Gu Jingming appeared suddenly.
Whenever this dashing president appears, the servants were always quick to notice him. They would look at him with infatuation, wishing that he could stay longer in the house.
Gu Jingming walked towards Yu Minmin quickly. He gestured for the servants to step aside and went forward to hold her hands.
“Let’s go. I will take you out for a walk.”
Yu Minmin was stunned for a moment. Then, she lifted her head to look at him.
“We will go back tomorrow. You have been in the room for days. Let’s go out for some fresh air.”
“That will be great.” Yu Minmin nodded immediately.
“There had been typhoons lately. We should head back earlier in case of bad weather where the plane could no longer take off,” said Gu Jingming.
“Yes, and I have recovered long ago.” Yu Minmin told him.
“Don’t worry. They wanted us to stay so that they could offer their apologies.”
“Are you feeling better too?” asked Yu Minmin.
She looked at his face, stealing a quick glance at his eyes. He seemed alright now. That day, no one could tell but she took notice that something was wrong with him; he looked unwell.
“Yes, I am fine,” he said while loosening his tie.
Turning his head, he caught her staring at him.
She was so absorbed in looking at him as if to decipher something out of his face.
“What are you doing?” he muttered.
“Er… I… I was just trying to see if you are well,” she replied, ruffling her hair to hide her embarrassment.
She got caught staring at him again.
Surely, she would not tell him that it was because she could not help but stare longer at his handsome face.
However, at this moment…
“Mr. President, Miss Suya came to see you.”
Yin Suya…
Why did she choose to come at this moment?
Gu Jingming paused for a moment before turning to take a glance at Yu Minmin.
He could not help but feel a little guilty.
Yu Minmin muttered an “oh” and continued, “What could have brought Miss Yin here at this time? Go and see her quickly. She came here especially for you. Maybe she was worried about you?”
Gu Jingming looked at her meaningfully.
The reason why Yin Suya came to look for him was not that she was worried but…
But Gu Jingming was not used to explaining himself. He simply said, “I will let the servants accompany you out for a walk.”
Then, he strode away in quick steps.
Yu Minmin watched him leave the room.
This stirred up a commotion among the servants who were gasping in admiration at his departure.
Yes, he’s indeed an outstanding and charismatic man who has attracted too much attention and caused people to lose their minds, she thought.
Whoever be with him would be in for an emotional rollercoaster ride.

It was Gu Jingming who called for Yin Suya.
“I heard that something happened to you.” Yin Suya said anxiously upon seeing Gu Jingming.
“It’s just a small incident, but this…” replied Gu Jingming.
Gu Jingming placed the item that she gave him on the table.
“What’s wrong with this?” Yin Suya asked.
“The scent of this makes me sleepy. I got someone to check it for me and there was something fishy in it.”
Gu Jingming told her the truth.
Yin Suya looked at him with a bewildered expression.
He simply looked at Yin Suya without saying a word.
Yin Suya held onto his arm and asked, “Jingming, are you suspecting me?”
He remained silent and listened to her.
Looking at his expression, Yin Suya snorted. She let go of his arm and took a few steps back. “Jingming, why would I betray you? Emmy gave you over to Yu Minmin and my heart broke. So when I knew that she was coming here to work, I asked her to pass this to you. But I am not sure if she did something to it along the way.”
