The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 105: Old and cunning
Seeing her expression, Lu Nanting realized he had misunderstood and felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly breathed a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, when the secret marriage was exposed, it was one thing for fans to stop supporting him, but when they threatened to jump off buildings or into rivers, he really had a tough time those few days.

It's primarily a moral issue.

Life is too heavy for him to bear.

Compared to this, waiting for someone at the airport in the middle of the night just to tell them in person that he's unfollowing me, although it's heartbreaking, but...

Actually it's not bad.

After all, he had already gotten used to the fact that at least three million people unfollowed and turned against him after he spent money on merchandise during his previous live streams.

If you choose a wife and a warm bed, you can't expect your fans not to leave.

Wanting both is just too pretentious.

He's not that kind of person.

Following celebrities is a free and temporary thing. When the person you admire becomes someone you can't accept, it's perfectly normal to switch to someone who better suits your aesthetic.

He has very low expectations of his fans. It's okay if they like someone for a while and then stop liking them; it's okay if they like several people at the same time; it's also okay if they like someone to death when they like them and hate them to death when they hate them.

Anyway, even with the RMB, some people dislike it for its money-grubbing nature.

So he finished the noodles in two bites, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and then calmly comforted Hua Shiyu:

"It's okay if it's just a loss of fans, really, being happy is the most important thing."

From beginning to end, Hua Shiyu didn't utter a single complete sentence.

First, I was shown concern, then I was treated to noodles, and afterwards they said it was all okay...

Xiao Jiang received the call, went to a corner to talk, and settled the bill while she was there. She then returned to tell Lu Nanting:
"Brother Yuan has arrived too. He'll be out soon. He told us to wait a few minutes, and we'll get in the car together in a bit."

Lu Nanting nodded, then turned to Hua Shiyu and instructed her:

"Do you have anything else to do at the airport later? If not, go out and call a car, and I'll write down the license plate number."

It must be said that Lu Nanting is a very cultured and charismatic person.

Even though they guessed she was going to unfollow them, they were still worried about her safety, because she went out in the middle of the night to wait for them.

Hua Shiyu put down her chopsticks after only a few bites of her bowl of noodles.
"Don't worry about going back; the driver is waiting in the parking lot."

Seeing that Lu Nanting was no longer going to bring it up, Hua Shiyu took the initiative to speak:

"Actually, I haven't made up my mind yet. The reason I insisted on meeting you is just to ask you a few questions!"

This is the mother of a wealthy patron. He endorses cars, so she buys cars; he endorses whole-house customization, so she buys a house specifically for whole-house customization, not to mention all kinds of perfumes, cosmetics, and the like.

It can be said that every time a new endorsement is officially announced, Hua Shiyu places an order without hesitation.

We should be grateful.

At the very least, we can't let people feel disheartened.

So Lu Nanting's attitude was very good: "Go ahead and ask."

These questions had been swirling in her mind for over half a month. Hua Shiyu took a deep breath and immediately asked the questions that most of the little dragonflies cared about most:
"Did you get married truly for love, or out of necessity?"

Hua Shiyu was particularly good at reading people's expressions. She stared at him, trying to determine if he was lying. She even got his consent to start recording, intending to analyze it frame by frame later.

Lu Nanting sighed softly: "For such a major life event, who could force me to do something against my will? Of course, it's because of love!"

It was mentioned on Weibo and on variety shows, but the solo fans just don't want to believe it and insist on asking them in person.

Lu Nanting sighed silently.

They really dare to dream big.

"If it's true love, then I accept it. So, among all these CP (couple) fans, which one is the real one?"

This is a problem that has troubled all the little dragonflies for a long time.

Only she was brave enough to confront the person directly and demand an explanation.

Because she not only took the lead in data analysis, buying merchandise and endorsements, but also managed several fan groups, she really did a lot for Lu Nanting.

Lu Nanting hesitated for a moment, but ultimately remained silent.

Given his personality, if he could say it, he would have made it official on the day they got their marriage certificate.

But to turn around and leave when faced with this question directly would be too much. Coincidentally, Zhang Mingyuan, pulling his suitcase, pushed open the door of the ramen shop and barged in.

Lu Nanting breathed a sigh of relief, immediately picked up his phone, and stood up.

Zhang Mingyuan arrived so quickly simply because he had been running at full speed.

The reason he ran so fast was because Xiao Jiang told him that Lu Nanting was being pestered by female fans! Right now, he was asking them questions.

No one understands better than him how fearless his artists are.

As soon as Zhang Mingyuan entered the room, he immediately went to Hua Shiyu and smiled, gesturing for her to turn off the equipment.
"We have to go shoot an advertisement in Nanting later. The announcement is important, so we have to go first."

Lu Nanting immediately nodded in agreement.

If an ordinary fan encountered this situation, they would probably turn off their device immediately, but Hua Shiyu completely ignored him.

Seeing that this guy was about to slip away, the bodyguards and assistants followed. Hua Shiyu hurriedly said, "Which one is it? This is too torturous! Bro, please tell me directly, I won't tell anyone! There are so many couples, which one is the real one?!"

Lu Nanting didn't want to answer and was about to follow his agent.

As a result, Hua Shiyu instantly broke down, her voice several times louder: "If this is something I can't accept, I'll immediately announce that I'm unfollowing you!"

Lu Nanting had already taken two steps, but he stopped and turned back to ask her, "Which one can you accept?"

Although he can earn money by singing, he has so many endorsements, and the fact that Hua Shiyu, one of his top fans, announced she was leaving the fandom had a significant impact on him.

His family is wealthy and can afford any losses, but Zhang Mingyuan's income is tied to his.

Zhang Mingyuan, feeling anxious, gave him a push, trying to urge him to leave. But the fangirl wiped away her tears and, quite unwillingly, shouted:
"Gu Lanxi! I only accept Gu Lanxi!"

If you list out the qualities of all the female celebrities who actively try to form a CP with Gu Lanxi, and compare them side by side, even the most demanding solo fans will admit that Gu Lanxi's overall qualities are far superior to the others!

Good-looking, intelligent, emotionally intelligent, and good-tempered...

The key point is that she and Lu Nanting were born in the same year, so there's no age difference!

If things are irreversible, then she will only accept the best option.

Then her 4K camera captured Lu Nanting's sudden smile very clearly.

A person who was usually aloof and indifferent suddenly became radiant.

Even without saying a word, the approval and pride in that smile...

It's as if it's saying, "How do you have such good taste?"
Hua Shiyu immediately clutched her chest and sat down.

There's a sense of security, yet also a strange feeling of heartbreak.

Even after the group had gone far away, she remained seated, wiping away tears as she ate the bowl of noodles while watching the video she had just filmed.

She didn't come to her senses until the crowds around her surged and the sky gradually brightened.

Repeatedly drag the progress bar until the final image freezes.

That was a bag of pomegranates.

Pomegranates are common and can be found everywhere, but those bags were custom-made by the film crew a few days ago for employee benefits on the day of the Autumn Equinox.

There's no other way; conditions in the mountains are too poor, so welfare must keep up, and every holiday must be celebrated.

The pomegranates were bought directly from the villager's family, put in a plastic bag, and given to everyone; it was a bit undignified.

The production manager was very particular about the ceremony; he specially went to the packaging factory at the foot of the mountain to order net bags with the crew's mark.

It has to be said, the production manager is really cunning and shrewd.

This move achieves two goals at once.

It can not only bring performance to the county's factories and leave a good impression on the local government, giving the crew a green light for their work, but also make the gifts more upscale.

The white mesh bag was trimmed with red, and a piece of red cloth was sewn onto the opening, on which were printed two imposing black characters: "Lurking".

With summer vacation halfway over, Hua Shiyu had nothing to do all day except follow celebrities, so she contacted one of her uncles and arranged for her to join the cast of the TV series "Lurking".

You guys are so clever! Haha~ The book club has changed its appearance in the blink of an eye, who wouldn't be confused if they clicked in? Hehehe. Thank you so much~ It's the last day of double monthly tickets~ Sending love, biubiu~
The biggest CP fan is about to be born, known in the community as Sister Hua.

P.S.: There's a place in Inner Mongolia called Wuchuan, and Wuchuan produces oat noodles. They're so delicious! Rolling them into strips feels like playing with playdough. But it hurts my hands. Are there any oat noodle growers who can teach me how to roll them quickly and well? I used a pasta machine today, and I feel like I shouldn't have rolled them into such thin strips.
