The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 121 Shirt
Gu Lanxi stayed at her residence for a day. When she finished work in the afternoon, the director, production manager, and other actors she was close to came to visit her. Seeing that she only had muscle soreness from over-exercising, they told her to rest well.

The Weibo Movie Night was just two days away, so the director simply gave her a break.

"We'll go down the mountain early tomorrow so I can get my hair dyed. It's better to look more dignified for the red carpet. By the time you get back, we'll be filming scenes with black hair, so this will save the production team some money on hair dyeing."

The production manager brought it up jokingly, making it sound stingy, but he was actually giving her pointers.

Gu Lanxi nodded in agreement, exchanged a few more pleasantries, saw the person to the door, and then asked Zhuang Xiaotong to buy the tickets.

She immediately set up her own studio. After consulting with her two assistants, they were both willing to follow her, and their personnel relationships would be transferred to the studio, making them her personal assistants.

At that time, their salaries will be paid entirely by Gu Lanxi, and even if Gu Lanxi doesn't participate in entertainment-related activities, the two of them will often be with her.

Once you're on their side, you can entrust many things to them, such as arranging itineraries and accompanying them on trips, coordinating their interpersonal relationships, managing their personal belongings, and assisting with shopping and entertainment.

As for Aunt Wang, she was still responsible for her daily life.

As the business expands and things become more numerous, having more people around makes things much easier.

After finishing his magazine photoshoot, Lu Nanting finally found some time to call her.

"Look, our answers are different, our fans are dying of laughter!"

The screenshot shows the reply timestamps, which were only a few minutes apart. Both of their schedules are public information; one is currently shooting a magazine in Beijing, and the other is filming a movie in Kaiyuan County, so it's impossible for them to be together.

They answered the questions one after the other, but the results didn't match. In particular, both of their answers were very sincere and direct, and they took the blame for the breakup on themselves, which was just too funny!
Originally, because the two had broken up before, the CP fans were almost unable to ship them anymore, but after seeing the screenshots, they actually felt like they could ship them again!
It's even more appealing than before!

"Aren't you going to laugh yourself to death too?"

How could you say something blaming someone when they're so happy?

Gu Lanxi couldn't stand this hypocrite and exposed him directly.

Being exposed, Lu Nanting wasn't embarrassed at all; in fact, his words even carried a hint of awkwardness:
"Heh, I just feel, how should I put it? It's a two-way race, you know? While I'm working hard for you, you're also working hard for me."

Gu Lanxi never liked sweet talk, especially on the phone with countless people listening. She immediately changed the subject:

"I'm flying to Shanghai tomorrow, when will you arrive?"

"What time is your flight? I'll try to coordinate so we can meet at the airport."

He has a press conference to attend tomorrow, and Gu Lanxi didn't want him to rush, so she directly declined.

"No need, I'll use the VIP lane. Just have a driver pick me up."

There are many ways to use the VIP lane, such as buying a first-class ticket, becoming a senior member of the airline, or having certain special credit cards; it's not difficult to do so.

Lu Nanting hummed in agreement and said nothing more.

The next day, after Gu Lanxi landed, she followed Lao Yang, who had picked her up, to the parking lot. As soon as she opened the car door, she saw Lu Nanting peeling a pear in the car.

The pears, freshly taken from the car refrigerator, were cool, crisp, and juicy. I peeled one, put it in a bowl, and carefully cut it into pieces while holding the stem in one hand and a fruit knife in the other.

The driver opened the trunk to put in the luggage. Seeing that she opened the door but didn't get in, only staring at him without blinking, Lu Nanting held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but reveal a bright smile:
"I was afraid of getting stuck inside the airport, so I didn't go in."

After saying that, he put the bowl and knife on the small table, wiped his hands with a wet tissue, and then reached out to take her hand.

Gu Lanxi took his hand and got into the car. She sat down, took the small bowl he handed her, picked up a fork, stuck a piece of pear in it and ate it, then nodded reservedly: "That's how it should be."

"Xiao Jiang bought some pears this afternoon. They're very crisp and sweet, so I saved a few for you."

Gu Lanxi then picked up a piece and fed it to him.

"What kind of pear is it? If you like it, we'll buy more later."

The two chatted casually, and after everyone put away their luggage, Aunt Wang and her two assistants came over to say goodbye before getting into another car and leaving.

They went to the hotel to meet up with Xiao Jiang and the others, while Gu Lanxi went home with Lu Nanting to rest first.

Kaiyuan County is a prefecture-level city, and there is only one direct flight a day to Shanghai, departing at 7:30 pm. In order to arrive earlier, Gu Lanxi transferred flights and took a tractor down the mountain at around 6 am. She was exhausted and sleepy at the moment.

She managed to eat a few pieces of pear, then took Lu Nanting's hand and leaned on his shoulder, drifting off to sleep.

Not long after, Lu Nanting nudged her and said, "We're here. Let's go upstairs, take a nap, and then get your hair done."

Gu Lanxi opened her eyes and let him lead her upstairs before saying, "It's so close to the airport."

"Yes, it's in the western suburbs. If there's no traffic, it only takes about ten minutes to get there. It was a coming-of-age gift from my eldest brother when I turned eighteen. The one my second brother gave me is by the river, but I think it's too noisy there and too far from the airport, so I've been renting it out all these years. The annual rent is about 500,000 yuan."

Gu Lanxi looked around.

The European-style luxury decoration that was popular more than a decade ago looks a bit outdated now, but the details show its quality and the layout is very thoughtful.

All three rooms are quite large. Turn right upon entering to find the guest bedroom. Passing through a hallway paved with patterned tiles, the study and master bedroom are located on either side of the corridor.

The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a large bathroom, giving it a very homey feel.

“I often come here for work and stay here frequently. I’ve prepared some things you might like. If you need anything, I’ll have Xiao Jiang and the others go and buy it right away.”

Seeing him following behind her, explaining everything in detail, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but smile:
"Even though it's your first time here, it feels like you've been here before." Those few words were enough to make him overjoyed: "Of course! From now on, wherever I am, that's where your home is. That's what you call the feeling of home! You know?"

Gu Lanxi nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "I'm going to take a shower, then take a nap, have dinner, and then get my hair done. I need to dye it back to black and fix my bangs while I'm at it."

"Hmm, which place did you book?"

"I often come here to participate in activities, and I have a studio I'm used to using."

"Okay, I'll go with you later."

Gu Lanxi waved her hand and refused: "Just drop me off and come back later."

Lu Nanting immediately looked aggrieved: "I guess I'm still not presentable enough? I need to get a facelift."

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but punch him: "All you ever think about is facelifts!"

"Hey~"

Lu Nanting stopped talking, only hugged her from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and sighed repeatedly.

Gu Lanxi said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I just wanted you to rest at home. If you're not tired, then let's go together!"

Anyway, the studio is only seeing her tonight.

Lu Nanting was then happy.

"Let's go, I'll wash your hair first, then you can go to sleep, and I'll make dinner. After dinner, we'll go out together."

"I just washed it last night, I won't wash my hair, just a quick shower will do."

"Okay, anyway, I'll have to wash it at the shop, so this will save me the trouble."

Gu Lanxi went into the bathroom, and Lu Nanting went to the bedroom to change the sheets and duvet cover.

When he returned after taking the bedding to the laundry room, he saw Gu Lanxi walking out of the dressing room barefoot.

Her hair was down, her little face was rosy, and she was only wearing a shirt.

His shirt.

"I have an appointment with Mei Xue tomorrow morning to sign the contract and get all the paperwork done as soon as possible so the studio can get on track quickly. Tomorrow afternoon I have an interview with a senior executive at the company; once the framework is up and running, I'll try to officially open for business before the New Year..."

Gu Lanxi was usually a man of few words, but when Lu Nanting heard her talking so incessantly, he knew she was nervous.

Without saying a word, he pounced on it.

You really shouldn't make promises to children lightly.

There's a huge amusement park right next to my house. One day, the kids kept asking me to play with them, but I told them that I had to work and earn lots of money from writing before I could take them to the amusement park.

After the children finished cheering, they wrote it down.

Then, she asked me several times in a row, "Mom, have you earned a lot of royalties?"
I always said it was just a little bit short.

It's pretty much the same old Pinduoduo tactics.

Give them great hope, then hide the impossibility in a single, decisive cut.

As a result, the siblings actually went to the temple to worship Buddha.

The temple is right next to my house, and the two of them go there every weekend.

At first, I wandered around to different places and got to know the Bodhisattva.

Later, I took out my pocket money, ran to light a lamp, prayed to Manjushri Bodhisattva, and prayed that my mother's new book would sell well and that her inspiration would flow like a spring.

Others charge twenty for lighting a lamp, but they said ten was all the money they had.

Seeing their piety, the monk gave them ten coins to light a lamp and a large apple each, telling them that their wishes would come true.

The two of them practically skipped all the way home. When we got home, they gave me the apple, watched me eat it, and only told me about it after I had finished.

Thinking it couldn't be delayed too long, I decided to get them both a platinum membership during the winter break.

When faced with sincerity, Pinduoduo's tactics will eventually fail.

Honestly, I really never want to get stabbed again.

People keep asking me to cut them with a knife.

I never do this normally!
As a result, everyone thought I had good knife skills, especially during holidays like Chinese New Year.

It's also possible that my profession gives people the illusion that I have a lot of free time.

As for the child's Buddhist practice, faith is a matter of personal freedom, and we respect individual choice; we have no intention of interfering.
