The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 172 Read and Burn
Because of a concert, Gu Lanxi made it onto more than thirty trending topics in one night without spending a single penny!
Not only was Zhang Mingyuan stunned, but Mei Xue was also so shocked that she couldn't speak!

She finally understood just how valuable her boss's words, "Sister Mei, be confident," really were!

Her boss was far more powerful than she had imagined!

It's good enough that she doesn't go out and bully people; she's always acting subservient, which really makes the boss lose face!

It's really amazing that the boss has tolerated her for so long!
She looked at the trending topics list again and again before turning to look at Zhang Mingyuan:
"I'm telling you, our boss has never approved a budget for buying trending topics. Do you believe me?"

We're all just working people; no one can pay out of their own pocket to work for the boss.

The boss didn't pay, so this trending topic couldn't have been bought.

Zhang Mingyuan nodded and took a deep breath: "Our two families are now in a situation where we share both loss and fortune. Let's not sleep tonight. Be careful to guide the situation and don't give our rivals any opportunities."

These days, most people actually have pretty sound values. Where are there so many people who harbor malice towards others for no reason?

So-called "haters" are often created by rivals.

The more you are in the eye of the storm, the more careful you need to be, otherwise it won't be easy to clean yourself up once you've been splashed with dirty water.

"Ok!"

The studio has a clear division of labor among its departments, so even when the concerts are busy, it doesn't affect the daily work of publicity and public relations.

Seeing that everyone was busy and there were no unexpected situations for the time being, Mei Xue invited Zhang Mingyuan to her office for tea.

Regarding tonight's trending topics, Zhang Mingyuan shared his opinion: "It's the same principle as scarcity marketing."

Mei Xue nodded in agreement.

Gu Lanxi is extremely low-key; she rarely appears in public except when necessary.

He never appears on variety shows and rarely gives interviews. When he does attend events, he is completely unrelated to the entertainment industry, such as investment summits, financial summits, development summits, and strategy meetings—the kind of events that ordinary people rarely pay attention to.

This has resulted in many things about her remaining unknown to the public.

Because of Lu Nanting's popularity, she has now gained attention, and those past events have been exposed.

During tonight's concert, Gu Lanxi casually mentioned that she had three papers to publish and a graduation thesis to write in her senior year of college, keeping her extremely busy and leaving no time for dating.

Fans knew she had only dated one person, so they didn't care whether she dated anyone in college; their attention was naturally drawn to her thesis.

It's worth noting that a few years ago, there was an artist in the entertainment industry who cultivated a persona of being highly educated, only to have their academic papers proven to be fraudulent, leading to their downfall.

Netizens are extremely sensitive to this and naturally want to investigate whether her words are credible.

Finding out a person's academic achievements is very simple.

Log in to CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure), enter "Gu Lanxi" to search for the author directly.

They know exactly what papers I've published and what my graduation project was.

Netizens searched with the intention of debunking the fraud, and what they found was shocking!
During her four years of university and two and a half years of graduate studies, Gu Lanxi published more than 80 papers, of which she was the first author on 48 of them.

Of these 48 articles, more than 20 were published in core journals.

Five of these groundbreaking papers caused a sensation in the international academic community!
Related reports describe her as "a rising star in China's financial mathematics community!"

As for the second semester of her senior year that Gu Lanxi mentioned, in addition to completing her graduation thesis, she published not three papers, but four! Many people are happy if they can achieve 80% of their goals, but Gu Lanxi is someone who must achieve 120% to feel satisfied.

These achievements are already part of her past, and there's absolutely no need for her to boast about them.

But for netizens, especially her fans, it's not like that:

I'm completely stunned. Good heavens, what kind of monster have I become a fan of...? Every time I think she's perfect, reality slaps me in the face. Oh, she's a million times better than I imagined!

How could she resist? She never brags! I could brag about it eight hundred times a day!

Despite her impressive past, she has never marketed it. She simply focuses on acting, one role after another, steadfastly and persistently proving herself through her actions. I feel my love for her has grown even more.

[She always attends events quietly, never vying for attention or competing. I used to think she was just laid-back, but now it seems she's simply exceptionally capable and doesn't bother with such competition.]

[Before, I was a fan of celebrities and never dared to let my family know. But ever since I became a fan of Gu Lanxi, I tell everyone I'm Xiao Yuanbao (a nickname for Gu Lanxi), I'm so proud of myself!]

They say fans resemble their idols, so I need to learn from them!

[Recently, many of our little Yuanbao (a nickname for a student) have been showing off their university acceptance letters. Several of them got into University A, becoming juniors to our Xibao (another nickname for a student). To all our fellow students still in school, keep up the good work! Don't let our little Yuanbao down!]

[I had a misunderstanding about the Chinese entertainment industry; I never thought to look into these things. Who would have thought this woman would cross over into such a big field!]

[At this moment, a graduate student silently shattered... Who would have thought! Such an amazing person would actually go and act in movies!]

[Through sheer talent, she single-handedly raised the overall public perception of the entertainment industry. I only admire Gu Lanxi.]

I always knew she was an exceptionally talented and wonderful girl, but I never imagined she was this outstanding.

So, some people can earn 30,000 yuan a month doing part-time jobs during their senior year of college, and if they achieve their goals within six months, they can get a 500,000 yuan bonus. People are really different. When I was in college, I tutored and made 800 yuan a month, and I thought I was amazing!

I really admire Mrs. Lu's taste; who wouldn't want a daughter-in-law like that!

[Lu Nanting has absolutely amazing vision, okay? Not only is he insightful, but he also has incredible execution skills! Just based on his statement, "We'll talk about marriage based on age restrictions," I'm completely blown away!]

[Here's a funny story: When Lu Nanting first debuted, every wealthy family was telling their children not to be blinded by the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry. Anyone who dared to emulate him would have their legs broken! But ever since the news of his marriage to Gu Lanxi came out, every elder praises him whenever he's mentioned!]

[At a recent investment summit, I went with my dad to broaden our horizons and noticed that all the uncles and aunts in my family with sons seemed to flock around Gu Lanxi! Haha! So many people were trying to set her up! But unexpectedly, she was snatched away by Lu Laosan. When my dad found out, he drank heavily at home for three days straight, scaring my brother so much that he didn't dare come home for those few days.]

[Haha, my family is the same. In the past two months, my brother has been scolded when he came home. My mother scolded him for not working hard and not getting a good wife. My brother complained that my mother made him too ugly and that he was not rich enough. He lost when he stood with Lu Laosan. My mother was so angry that she cried. Then my brother was beaten by my father. Now he ran away from home and is unwilling to come back! 】

[Boys are okay, but we girls have it tough. My mom nags me every day, saying I only know how to spend money and not how to earn it. She always brings up Gu Lanxi this and that. Honestly, Gu Lanxi is the person I hate most these past few years. Everything she invests in makes money, everything I invest in loses. Is it because I don't want to earn money? If you ask me, without that kind of luck, all your struggles are in vain!]

[Just between you and me, Gu is notoriously stingy in the industry. She doesn't get cosmetic surgery, doesn't like shopping, doesn't go to entertainment venues, and dislikes attending banquets. She never accepts expensive gifts, only trinkets. She doesn't do haute couture, and prefers to wear clothes made by old-fashioned tailors.]

One year, my family was facing financial difficulties and we asked her for an investment. My mother was originally planning to buy a limited-edition handbag, but my father took the whole family to the mountains to pick a basket of bamboo shoots before we even met her.

These second-generation rich kids in the circle don't dislike gossip, they just usually only talk about it within their own circle. It's rare for them to have the chance to talk about it out loud, and they get more and more excited as they gossip, they just can't stop!

The onlookers were wide-eyed with excitement, none of them planning to sleep, and they all kept asking – "And then what?"
Then, of course, the second-generation members were discovered by their own parents, quickly deleted the posts, and pretended that nothing had happened.

As a long-time fan, who hasn't encountered content that's been viewed and then immediately destroyed?

No matter how quickly they delete the posts, netizens can take screenshots even faster!
In the blink of an eye, screenshots of all kinds of things were circulating everywhere.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lanxi holds such a high position in the circle of the wealthy!
People used to say she had a sugar daddy, otherwise she wouldn't have such good resources. Now they've proven them wrong, haven't they?

Back in my graduate school days, there was a classmate, several years younger than me, who had already published three SCI papers when she applied for the national scholarship in her second year. There are many outstanding women in real life, so Xi Bao's character isn't an exaggeration.
