The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 118 Protecting Weaknesses
Gu Lanxi went to sleep after making the phone call, completely ignoring the negative rumors circulating online.

She used to be terrified of these things being exposed, but now that the day has actually come, she feels that it doesn't really matter if people say a few things about her.

It won't cost her anything, nor will it affect her ability to make money.

The imagined sense of shame didn't seem that intense.

Because she did indeed go through such a difficult period, and she did indeed do many immoral things, which cannot be washed away.

Rather than hiding it away, like having a time bomb in your house, constantly worrying about it exploding, it's better to defuse it sooner rather than later, so you can have peace of mind later.

Gu Lanxi is always in a superior mental state, and she is virtually unmatched in the industry when it comes to avoiding internal strife.

What has already happened cannot be ignored, but more important than regret is to learn from the experience and prevent similar things from happening again.

Recruiting talent and setting up studios are not things that can be done in a day or two; there's no rushing it.

After a day of strenuous exercise, Gu Lanxi was woken up in the middle of the night and felt sore all over.

Thinking that she would have to film this scene again tomorrow, Gu Lanxi quickly got up and forcibly did stretching exercises while holding onto the edge of the table.

Even in the deep mountains in August, the temperature can reach over 20 degrees Celsius at night. Once you've warmed up your body, the evening shower will have been wasted.

Without waking Aunt Wang and the others, she quietly went to the kitchen, boiled a pot of water, and took a warm bath.

Back in my room, I used the last bit of safflower oil to massage the most painful areas, and the sleepiness returned.

The next morning, Gu Lanxi woke up on time and felt much better. Although she was still sore, it did not affect her mobility.

As usual, I played with the stick in the yard for a while, and then went to the film set after having breakfast.

The director came up with a solution: he installed a loudspeaker on the tractor so she could hear the sound from this side of the mountain.

In this way, she can estimate the distance by the distance of the sound.

Back in school, while others would use up half a sheet of paper to solve problems, Gu Lanxi could find the answer with just one glance.

Although it's not flat ground, as long as Tuoge doesn't sabotage the journey and maintains a steady speed, allowing her to control all the variables, she can do a great job.

Ultimately, this is a speed test.

Following the new method, Gu Lanxi tried running it twice and was able to accurately time the runs, much to the delight of the entire crew.

In the afternoon, the aerial photography team arrived, and Group B stopped filming and all came over to watch.

The nearby villagers filled the hillside outside the camera's view. As soon as they saw Gu Lanxi, they smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up.

With each take, the filming went exceptionally smoothly, thanks to thorough preparation.

However, Gu Lanxi's filming ended at four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the evening, the cafeteria prepared a mushroom feast to entertain the aerial photography team, but Gu Lanxi was too sore from leg pain to stand up and was absent.

When people talked about her during the meal, they were not displeased by her absence; on the contrary, they praised her.

"There aren't many actors who can endure hardship like this anymore."

"Yes! Such steep mountain roads, more than ten kilometers every day, and speed is required, it's even more hard than running a marathon."

"Speaking of marathons, I remember she participated in several, and once she won an award and even made it to the trending topics."

"This kid is smart and athletic. In your young people's terms, he's a well-rounded guy, haha!"

The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely. Gu Lanxi was lying on the bed, letting a woman with a thick finger massage her.

Gu Lanxi didn't expect that as soon as she returned to her residence, she would see the physiotherapist that Lu Nanting had arranged to come overnight.

The therapist was a man of few words but possessed excellent skills. He carried not only two large jugs of medicinal wine but also a considerable amount of tools.

The massage was so painful that she was sweating profusely, her teeth were chattering, and she couldn't help but want to cry out in pain, but afterwards she felt completely relaxed.

Gu Lanxi wanted to keep the person there, at least until the filming was finished, but the person directly told her:

"Next week is the World Athletics Championships. I'll be going with the team to win glory for the country. You'll recover in three days at most, but I can only stay here for two days. You need to be brave and get through this on your own."

What else could Gu Lanxi say?
All I could do was tearfully beg her for her contact information, promising to let her go when the time came.

While she was eating, Gu Lanxi lay on the bed and sent a message to Lu Nanting, asking him where he had found such a great person.

Lu Nanting only asked her if the effect was good.
Gu Lanxi pressed him several times before he finally admitted that he was a relative of his sister-in-law's family.

If it weren't for this family relationship, the person definitely wouldn't be willing to make this long journey.

Gu Lanxi cried out in pain all over her body, but was also moved to tears by him. Afterwards, she had to call her sister-in-law to thank her.

The moment her sister-in-law hung up, Zhang Ruolan called. As soon as she answered, she started wiping away tears, asking if she was feeling better. She also said she wanted to visit the film set.

She was so frightened that she refused repeatedly.

"I'm going to Shanghai for an event next week. I'll take two more days off to go home and see you. Please don't come to the film set. The transportation and living conditions here are very inconvenient."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruolan immediately shut up: "You two rarely get to see each other, so just stay in Shanghai whenever you have time! Don't keep traveling back and forth! If you miss me, I'll fly over and have a meal with you."

After several tugs of shoving, Zhang Ruolan proved to be the more skilled one.

"I'm just sitting around all day with no kids to look after. I'm so bored, I might as well go visit my cousin. You don't need to bother with all this!"

Having said all that, Gu Lanxi finally accepted her mother-in-law's arrangement.

Although I felt very unwell that night, my heart was warm.

She went to bed early, unaware that the internet was in an uproar again.

However, Lu Nanting had a singing show tonight, and when he finished recording and wrapped up, a rapper he had eliminated suddenly stopped him and asked:

"Lu Nanting, I heard you and Gu Lanxi are good friends? I'd like to invite her to play a couple of tunes at my wedding. I wonder how much her performance fee is now? Could you ask her for me?"

After saying that, he even whistled.

Lu Nanting also dabbles in hip-hop and rap, but he's not into street culture. He's always polite and never deliberately provokes others or swears. He doesn't really have anything in common with that rapper with dreadlocks, so they're basically just acquaintances.

Suddenly stopped and spoken to in such a manner, Lu Nanting showed no mercy, immediately unleashing a thunderous rebuke:

"Marriage? Does your boyfriend know?"

The man probably didn't expect him to know about this, and lunged at him to hit him. Then two bodyguards immediately rushed up and pinned him to the ground.

The backstage area was immediately thrown into chaos.

The rapper was still yelling, "What are you so arrogant about?", but Lu Nanting just pulled up his collar, shook it, and with a cold face, ignored the person and left.

The crowd at the scene was going crazy!

In less than five minutes, high-definition video of the scene was leaked.

[I was there, even skipping work, just to share this with you all, my goodness! It's so sweet!]

[Ahhh!!! The Lanting couple is real!!!]

[His protective instincts towards his wife are so cool!!]

No one is allowed to speak ill of her in front of me!

……

CP fans are ecstatic, and even anti-fans are thrilled.

#LuNantingAssaultsSomeone# quickly rose to the top of the trending search list!
With Xiao Han's downfall, a large number of resources have suddenly become available. If managed properly, those who exploit his "remains" can quickly rise to the top and become the new top stars.

In the past few days, everyone has been fighting tooth and nail for it. Just then, Gu Lanxi was framed, which gave people a breakthrough. Lu Nanting lost his composure and was caught red-handed in the blink of an eye.

What was clearly a bodyguard protecting his master, a passive defense, was edited by a marketing account and suddenly became the story of him ordering his bodyguard to beat someone while he stood by indifferently watching.

When Gu Lanxi woke up and received the news, the rapper had already finished his medical examination and was clamoring on various platforms that he would sue Lu Nanting.

However, when the bodyguard held him down, he resisted too hard and suffered some abrasions on his arms and cheeks.

Gu Lanxi felt a headache coming on. She contacted the headhunting company to ask Mei Xue what was going on. The feedback was that the terms had been agreed upon, with the salary being 90% of what she used to receive. However, this morning, after seeing the trending topic, she immediately changed her mind.

They felt the salary was too low.

"Ms. Mei requested a 10% salary increase for this job change."

Gu Lanxi replied directly: "Let her resolve this matter and let me see her capabilities. If she can't, I'll pay her only once and I won't want her anymore. If she resolves it satisfactorily, I'll raise her fee to 15%."

As long as it's worth the price, she's willing to agree!

The premise is that the materials are genuine and of high quality.

If someone is just pretending to be someone else, they should go back to where they came from.

Gu Lanxi rubbed her leg, which ached so much she couldn't move it, and sighed as she watched the rising sun.

Great, I've earned the title of "wife-protecting maniac".

This guy has so many nicknames, I can't even count them all.
