Global Film Emperor

Chapter 73 Moving Driver Assistant
The mess in the room was unbearable for Lu Ze, who had some obsessive-compulsive disorder. He stretched out his foot, shoved his shoes aside, put his suitcase away, and looked around with his hands on his hips, feeling a terrible headache coming on.

"Young man, hey! Young man!"

The kid was wearing headphones and was so engrossed in kicking that Lu Ze had to call him several times before he realized someone had entered the room. Two other boys from the other two rooms also came out to check on the situation.

"Hello, are you Brother Lu? I'm sorry, the house is a mess, we'll clean it up right away."

The boy riding the bicycle was very perceptive. Seeing this, he quickly told the other two to put away their shoes. The other two were also a little nervous, afraid that Lu Ze would be unhappy, after all, he was already a debuted actor who had gone out to film movies.

Actually, they didn't want to live with Lu Ze either. Although Lu Ze hadn't been back for half a year, they felt uncomfortable as soon as they met and became restless.

"Sigh, Lu Ze is back. How are we going to live now!"

This was the thought on the minds of the three of them, making them even more apprehensive than when meeting their elders at home, because at least their family wouldn't harm them, but offending Lu Ze? A single word could ruin them, at least for trainees.

"No need to tidy up, you all go about your business."

Lu Ze took off his shoes, found his slippers and put them on. He said something to them and went into his room. The three of them just ignored his words, because they had all seen Lu Ze frowning earlier. How could they take it seriously?
Two years ago, Lu Ze had already put away all the blankets and other bedding. The sheets were packed in vacuum-sealed bags, so there was no need to wash them. He would just air out the blankets and put on the sheets before sleeping.

After wiping the dust off the tables, chairs, and benches, Lu Ze lay on the bed, wondering if he should rent a place.

Now that he has the financial means, there's no need for him to share a house with others anymore. Besides, judging from the ages of these three kids, they're only sixteen or seventeen, and he doesn't have much in common with them.

After thinking about it for a while, I made up my mind that I would move out once the 400,000 yuan arrived in my account. Since I didn't need to report to the company every day, it didn't matter whether I was far away from the company or close to it.

After making up his mind, Lu Ze opened a rental website, browsed for a while, and found a house in the HP district that was not far from the company.

The apartment is a one-bedroom, one-living room unit of 40 square meters, costing 5,000 yuan per month, with a deposit of one month's rent and three months' rent paid upfront. It is fully furnished with appliances, allowing for cooking, and is nicely decorated, perfectly meeting Lu Ze's personal requirements. After contacting the real estate agent, he scheduled a viewing for tomorrow afternoon.

After resting for a while, Lu Ze took his toiletries to the bathroom and took a shower. He was covered in sweat from coming out of the airport and hadn't washed off yet. Fortunately, the company had already installed the air conditioner. Although it was a small wall-mounted air conditioner, it was enough to cool him down, so Lu Ze wouldn't feel too hot in the room.

In the evening, the three young men went out and brought back food for Lu Ze. Lu Ze had to persuade one of the young men to accept the money for the food and also informed them that he had found a place to live and would be moving soon.

Lu Ze could tell that the three men were visibly relieved after he said he was moving out. During the time Lu Ze was in the room, they were worried that he was sleeping, so they didn't even dare to speak loudly. They even went to the next room to tell them not to make any noise. The whole afternoon made these energetic young men, who were usually full of life on weekends, feel quite stifled.

on Monday.

Lu Ze left home a little later than usual, giving the time to the three trainees to wash up. After they left, he got up to wash up, dressed casually in a T-shirt and shorts, and strolled slowly towards the company.

"Brother Lu, you're back!"

Xiao Mei at the front desk greeted Lu Ze. The two had become familiar with each other before the Lunar New Year, and she had a bright smile on her face when she saw Lu Ze.

"Hello, Xiaomei too."

After chatting and laughing, Lu Ze arrived at the artist management department. Today's matter had nothing to do with the artist management department; it was still Gao Wanzhi's responsibility.

"Sister Gao."

Gao Wanzhi was on the phone when she saw Lu Ze. She smiled and nodded, then waved for Lu Ze to sit down before continuing her call.

Now that the company is officially on track, the person doing odd jobs for Gao Wanzhi is no longer an intern, but a proper secretary. After pouring Lu Ze a cup of tea, she quietly left.

"It's been half a year since we last met. Time flies! It's already June. You seem to have gotten a little tanned." "Really? A little tan is good. It makes you look healthier. You take good care of yourself, Sister Gao. You look even younger than before the New Year."

The two joked and teased each other, not getting to the main topic for a while. Since there was nothing important to do, they just chatted. The two had a good relationship, and Lu Ze didn't mind chatting with her about everyday things.

"Alright, let's get down to business. If we chat any longer, you'll be eating lunch at the company again."

"I never intended to leave without eating. I've come all this way back to the company, so I had to at least try the cafeteria's food to see if it's changed."

"I knew you'd do this. You feel like you're missing out if you come to the company and don't have a meal. Here's the thing: the company has assigned you an assistant and a driver. This is the driver's phone number. If you need anything, just call him and he'll pick you up."

Lu Ze took the resume that Gao Wanzhi handed him. It listed the driver's name, phone number, and license plate number in Shanghai. The driver's name was Liu Bin, and he was 27 years old.

"Okay, I understand. What about the assistant?"

"Wait a moment, I'll call her over."

Gao Wanzhi dialed an internal phone: "Have Xiao Wang come to my office."

About a minute later, someone knocked on the office door. Because the office door was made of opaque glass, Lu Ze could only tell from the sunlight that the person seemed to be short.

"come in."

"Minister Gao."

A girl pushed open the door. She was only about 1.5 meters tall, with long black hair tied in a ponytail. She wasn't particularly pretty, but her chubby face had a baby fat look, which made Lu Ze unconsciously think of the term "legal loli".

She looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but her actual age was definitely not that much. She must have graduated from university at least and be around twenty-one or twenty-two years old. She had a blank expression and looked a bit serious, which made Lu Ze want to laugh. She gave off the feeling of a little girl pretending to be a tough guy.

"From now on, you will be in charge of Lu Ze's assistant work. Has the handover been completed?"

"Yes, the handover is complete. Hello, Brother Lu. My name is Wang Zixuan. Please take care of me in the future."

Looking at her outstretched right hand, Lu Ze really wanted to laugh. Her small hand was quite white and not very big; her two hands together might not even be as big as one of Lu Ze's hands.

"Okay, let's help each other out from now on. Is that all? I'll be going now, I need to go look at houses this afternoon."

Gao Wanzhi was taken aback. Each department had different responsibilities, and she really didn't know about this. She asked in surprise, "Are you still living in the dormitory?"

"Yes, I'm looking at apartments today. If it's suitable, I'll sign the contract and move in tomorrow. I'm leaving now; I haven't had breakfast yet, so I need to go to the cafeteria to see what's available."

"Alright, you can probably stay here for a while after renting the place."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Gao Wanzhi smiled mysteriously and shook her head at Lu Ze: "Trade secret, no comment."

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't. I'll find out eventually anyway, right? Let's go, Sister Gao. Zixuan, have you eaten? Want to grab something to eat together?"

Wang Zixuan didn't stand on ceremony, but for some reason, she didn't show any expression. She nodded and silently followed Lu Ze to the cafeteria.
