The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 146 No Hee Hee

"What are you laughing at?"

The two exited the elevator and walked along the corridor. Lu Nanting laughed as he walked, and Gu Lanxi felt embarrassed by his laughter, so she stuck out a finger and poked his arm.

"Don't make trouble."

Lu Nanting casually took her outstretched hand and shook it back and forth.

"Are you that happy?"

"Ah."

Gu Lanxi is incredibly patient; there's only one thing she can't tolerate: someone bullying Lu Nanting in front of her.

In a second, it transforms, its attack power skyrockets to the top, and it specifically targets people's weak points, making it incredibly sharp!
It's because they don't understand Gu Lanxi's personality; otherwise, even if they had ten more lives, they wouldn't dare to pester him in front of him.

"You shouldn't have given them a friendly look; you should have been more decisive in refusing them."

Seeing him grinning and laughing heartily, Gu Lanxi couldn't bear it any longer and couldn't help but give him a lecture.

Lu Nanting naturally understood this principle, but ruthlessness also depends on the context.

"Because my uncle is very good to me."

Don't let the fact that this boy group isn't very popular fool you; they're all trainees trained by Starlight Entertainment and have a high level of loyalty to the company. If they refuse too abruptly, it will inevitably make everyone look bad.

Gu Lanxi was speechless.

In such a large company as Starlight, Lu Nanting could go straight to the 18th floor without an appointment just by scanning his face; the uncle and nephew really have a good relationship.

Before the two even reached the office, Jiang Yan, having received the news, strode out to greet them.

Jiang Yan is almost fifty years old, but he is still full of energy. Although he is at the company, he is wearing a floral shirt and shorts, smells very nice, and looks extremely flamboyant.

He was not married, but he had several children. However, even the Lu family did not know who the mother of the children was.

There's not much to say about it. As long as you don't break the law, everyone has their own way of living.

"Cousin!"

Lu Nanting was holding the gift, but before he could hand it over, Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder. Without saying a word to him, Jiang Yan politely spoke to Gu Lanxi:

"It's rare to see you two at the company today, so hurry downstairs to get your hair and makeup done. When Zhu Lin arrives, let her take a set of photos of you two first."

"What picture?"

"It's already September, and New Year's Day isn't far away. Let's take pictures of the calendar as soon as possible. There are many activities at the end of the year, so it's a good gift for employees, fans, and partners."

Fearing they might not be happy, Jiang Yan specially explained, "It's your first year of marriage, so taking a couple's calendar would be very meaningful. Teacher Zhu's schedule is not easy to book."

Both of their studios are affiliated with Starlight Entertainment, and many of their resources are provided by Starlight Entertainment. In principle, they are also people from Starlight Entertainment.

The two of them have taken similar calendar photos in previous years.

But those were all scheduled individually.

"We have things to do this afternoon, so we only have a short while this morning..."

Lu Nanting was worried that rushing things would not yield good results.

Jiang Yan raised his wrist to check his watch: "Hurry up, no problem! Calendars aren't like magazine covers. This year, let's go for a natural, everyday look, capturing your sweet daily moments. I've already planned it out for you two. I guarantee the calendar will sell out instantly!"

Before Lu Nanting could say anything more, Jiang Yan snatched the brocade box from his hand and peeked out from the secretary's office, calling a secretary out:

"Linda, take them to get their hair and makeup done. After that, wait for Teacher Zhu to come over, then take some photos of them first!"

Successful people are usually decisive and efficient. After arranging everything, he smiled and said to Gu Lanxi:

"We're all family, why be so polite? I'll accept the gift this time, but please don't buy it next time."

Gu Lanxi smiled and nodded, but unlike before, she didn't even shake his hand.

"Go on, get on with the important business."

After saying that, he directly chased them away.

The two went up to the eighteenth floor and wandered around for a while, then in the blink of an eye, they followed Linda to the seventh floor.

The stylists and makeup artists had already received the news, so they arrested the person and got to work.

The two sat side by side, and Lu Nanting kept trying to turn his head to look at her. The makeup artist couldn't stand it anymore and moved him to the next room.

And that wasn't all; he called again, insisting on watching her put on makeup.

Gu Lanxi was utterly speechless: "There's so much to say! Did you save up all this for a year just to say to me alone?!"

“I was worried that you might be forced to work overtime and be unhappy about it, so I wanted to comfort you.”

Her uncle was indeed a bit domineering, but all his arrangements were for their own good, so there was nothing to complain about. Gu Lanxi remained calm and spoke as usual:

"What's there to comfort us about? We're going to shoot anyway, so the sooner we start, the less we'll have to freeze later. Besides, Teacher Zhu is in charge of the camera today!"

Wearing too many layers doesn't look good, so I still wore thin clothes for the photoshoot in the dead of winter. The studio wasn't as warm as I had imagined.

"So what are we having for lunch?"

Having nothing to talk about, Lu Nanting randomly picked a topic and forced a conversation.

Gu Lanxi glanced at her watch. Well, it wasn't even ten o'clock yet.

She glanced at him with amusement and teased him in a light tone:

"Oh, you still want to eat? I thought I was full just looking at me."

The staff burst into laughter, feeling that their daily interactions were like a comedy routine.

Lu Nanting next door blushed and reached for her phone on the table, but accidentally knocked over her makeup case.

There was a series of crashes and bangs as the phone fell to the ground and various cosmetics rolled all over the floor.

The makeup artist screamed, and the troublemaker quickly promised to buy a brand new set as compensation.

The floor was carpeted, the phone wasn't broken, and it was still on the call, but the camera lens was facing down, so you couldn't see anything.

On Gu Lanxi's side, the staff were about to burst out laughing, but seeing that she didn't laugh when she heard the noise and only wanted to get up to go to the next room, they quickly pressed her back down.

Those who were quick on their feet have already gone next door to check and have come back to report to her:

"It's alright, it's alright, everyone's fine. It's just that Sister Lan is a little upset. Right now, she's using that broken powder compact to put on Teacher Lu's makeup."

The phone was picked up, and Gu Lanxi could still hear the staff scolding him. Afraid that he would lose face, they hung up the video call immediately.

Things finally calmed down.

After a smooth makeup session, the stylist brought out several more clothes.

"Today's focus is on comfort and style. These are all clothes that no one has worn before. After you finish shooting, the boss has also instructed that no one else will wear them."

Gu Lanxi nodded and went to change her clothes first.

When Lu Nanting finished changing, the two looked at each other and realized they were wearing matching outfits.

Are they all wearing matching outfits?

"Yes, the boss personally oversaw the preparations, just waiting for you two to have time to film."

It must be said that although Jiang Yan is a bit careless in matters of the heart, he truly pours boundless enthusiasm into business.

Perhaps because what happened before was too embarrassing, when it came time to take solo photos, Lu Nanting started to act cool again, as was his habit.

She has a cool and indifferent expression, which would be perfect for a fashion magazine shoot, but today's theme is warmth and family!

Zhu Lin had already heard about what had happened before. She suppressed a laugh, beckoned Gu Lanxi over, and had someone bring over a chair.

"Here, get a bowl of fruit slices for our Teacher Gu, so she can eat it here."

I never imagined that one day I would become a prop.

Gu Lanxi cooperated fully and actually sat down on the chair.

"Pull your feet up, don't leave a shadow on the ground. Come on, Mr. Lu, concentrate. Look over at your wife. Good, soften your gaze, look at her, and imagine... never mind, stop imagining. Slightly lower the corners of your mouth, that will give you a feeling of happiness..."

Lu Nanting couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

Then Zhu Lin immediately started frantically pressing the shutter button.

She didn't sit down until the filming was finished, and then she unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and chugged it down.

"OMG, that smile is so sweet! When did your Dragonfly sister ever see this kind of calendar? This calendar is going to be a bestseller!"

Then, because of that sentence, when it was Gu Lanxi's turn to be photographed, Gu Lanxi couldn't smile no matter what, even if Lu Nanting stood in front of her and looked at her, she still couldn't smile.

Zhu Lin scratched her head frantically, secretly cursing herself for her sharp tongue.

Having no other choice, we quickly came up with a new idea: "Where's the new Rotten Tomato lipstick from D brand? Let's get Teacher Gu a new one."

After saying that, he muttered to himself, "Life simulation is really too bland, let's add some excitement..."

Happy New Year, everyone!

Don't forget to vote with your monthly tickets at the end of the month while you're busy celebrating the New Year!
Little Slippers is now an official fan of their pairing, and I'm a Little Slippers fan too. Haha~ What special treats did you all eat today? Make me drool!
