The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 206 Looking at it from another angle
The appointment was for 10 o'clock, but Zhang Wei got up at 7:30.

To improve her complexion, she went to bed before 10 p.m. last night.

After taking a shower, changing clothes, and putting on makeup, while she was curling her hair, she received a call from Gu Lanxi filled with apologies.

She said the final payment had been received, but she had something urgent to attend to outside and couldn't come back for the time being. She asked her to deliver the items to her home and give them to an aunt surnamed Qin.

Zhang Wei was delighted that the task was completed so easily, but after her initial joy, she couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Gu Lanxi is always very busy. Every day, countless people line up to see her. Some wealthy people even bring their entire families to the mountains to dig bamboo shoots just to see her.

Zhang Wei naturally wanted to take this opportunity to meet her and try to build a relationship with her.

Knowing that she wouldn't be coming back today, Zhang Wei wanted to use some tricks, like deliberately being late or staying at her house.

But in the end, he suppressed all evil thoughts, smiled, and drove out on time.

Gu Lanxi is married now, but she is still an extremely possessive person. If she is not at home, but her husband is, and he refuses to leave, then forget about having any dealings with her in the future, she will probably become an enemy immediately.

Moreover, she prefers the right path to unorthodox or heretical ways.

Instead of racking your brains to scheme and plot, it's better to do things properly and honestly.

When dealing with someone like Gu Lanxi who values ​​ability, the most important thing is to strive to become someone she needs.

Gu Lanxi sought her out simply because of her strong professional skills, not because of any personal relationship between the two.

People often have a deep misunderstanding of the world, thinking that if you have good personal relationships, it will be easier to get things done.

In fact, personal connections only come into play when you meet the requirements and others can choose you or someone else.

If the hardware doesn't meet the standards, even if you're a close relative, no one will sacrifice their own interests just to accommodate you.

When the car arrived at the entrance of Oriental No. 1, Zhang Wei rolled down the window and was about to ask the security guard how to register when she saw a tall, slender woman with a serious expression standing elegantly on the steps.

The woman looked no longer young. Her hair was styled in an updo, her skin was very fair, she wore delicate light makeup, and she was dressed in a linen gray suit. She looked like a high-earning female executive in a foreign company.

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved at her.

Seeing her face clearly, before she could speak, Aunt Qin asked:
"But was it Miss Zhang Wei in person?"

After Gu Lanxi finished her call, she gave Aunt Qin's WeChat to Zhang Wei. Both of them had half-body photos of themselves as their profile pictures, and they recognized each other as soon as they met.

Zhang Wei immediately smiled and nodded:

"But Ms. Qin?"

"Yes, I will now lead the way for you."

Since she took office, this was the first time the hostess had invited someone to the house. Aunt Qin had thought things through and came early to wait for the guests, just in case they were questioned by the security guard and had to register various information, which would make them unhappy.

Just as Zhang Wei was about to invite someone into her car, she saw Aunt Qin open the door of the car next to her, step on the gas, and drive off.

Zhang Wei quickly followed.

Okay, Gu Lanxi's housekeeper drives a BMW 7 Series, and her personal car is a BMW 4 Series.

She wouldn't feel embarrassed if she switched to a different brand.

But soon, she forgot all about being embarrassed.

Because Aunt Qin led her into Gu Lanxi's underground parking garage.

Zhang Wei, a jewelry designer, has visited many wealthy homes, but this is the first time she's seen a garage of this caliber.

The garage is very large and tall, with a starry sky ceiling overhead, which is especially dreamy.

The parking spaces are divided into guest spaces and host spaces. Looking around, the host's side has all kinds of luxury cars, each one flashing brighter than the last, many of them even new, with almost no signs of use on the wheels.

"Ms. Zhang, this way please."

Aunt Qin didn't restrict her and let her do as she pleased.

But when the two went upstairs and into the meeting room, before looking at anything, Aunt Qin put on a pair of white gloves, took out a confidentiality agreement, and asked her to sign it.

"Ms. Gu values ​​her privacy and hopes that you will remain silent about today's transaction and everything that has happened today."

Otherwise, it would be too disgraceful for someone to leave home one day and then immediately go out and expose what's going on at Gu Lanxi's house the next.

These requirements were almost identical in every household. Zhang Wei read the agreement carefully and quickly signed it.

Gu Lanxi's house was very tidy, and it looked like no one lived there, but there was a strange sense of warmth and homeiness about it, so it was obviously not an empty house.

"The thing is here. Miss Gu said she can't make it back today, so she asked me to give it to you."

"Ok."

Antiques and jewelry—these valuable items all follow similar rules, which Zhang Wei understands.

He gently opened the box containing the microphone and placed it directly on the coffee table, gesturing for Aunt Qin to take a look.

The microphone is beautiful; as soon as it's placed down, sunlight shines on it, instantly filling the room with brilliance.

But Aunt Qin remained unmoved, her expression extremely calm. She slowly but firmly reached out and picked up the item.

As soon as Aunt Qin made a move, Zhang Wei realized that this Aunt Qin was no ordinary nanny.

She didn't need any instruments, just a magnifying glass, and with the natural light coming in through the window, she examined everything carefully.

What are you looking at?

She examines each diamond meticulously according to the strict 4Cs, and after examining them, she can tell whether there's anything fishy going on.

While she was taking a closer look, Zhang Wei finally had time to openly survey her surroundings.

Outside the large French windows is a beautiful courtyard, and in the corner, a persimmon tree is laden with fruit that has already begun to turn red.

At the end of the large lawn lay a clear, emerald-green lake. The water was expansive, and a section of red roof could be faintly seen peeking out from the woods on the opposite side. Oriental No. 1 was extremely famous, a long-established affluent residential community where several well-known tycoons lived. Zhang Wei had heard of it before, but this was her first time entering.

The main gate was heavily guarded. Driving in, you would encounter at least four patrolling security guards along the way, all of them strong and vigilant.

At first, she thought it was too exaggerated.

After getting off the bus and entering the house, I was greeted by antiques everywhere I looked.

There are also many extremely famous modern and contemporary artworks that she has either seen online or appreciated at art exhibitions, and now they are casually hanging in some inconspicuous corner.

If all the households in the community are in similar situations, then this level of security is acceptable.

No wonder she has such a highly professional housekeeper at home.

Zhang Wei greatly envied this kind of life, but she knew that some things couldn't be obtained through envy.

Everyone's happiness is different, and what you get after working hard is also different. Just do your own thing, strive for your own happiness, and that's enough.

Everyone starts from a different point in time and has vastly different talents, so there's nothing to complain about.

Based on her understanding of Gu Lanxi, Gu Lanxi was not someone who enjoyed life to the fullest, and all these changes were because she married Lu Nanting.

However, the reason she was able to marry Lu Nanting was not only because Lu Nanting liked her, but also because she was good enough that the Lu family was willing to accept her.

Compared to those who blindly ship the couple online, Zhang Wei, having personally witnessed their love nest, has gained new insights.

The reason the two are so sweet is because their love is evenly matched.

It's not right when one side is at a disadvantage.

She couldn't understand those toxic fans at all.

Why do you daydream all day long, always dreaming about men or women?
Is your family too poor to afford a mirror?

Just as I was lost in thought, I heard a sound coming from the elevator.

"Madam, the young master and Miss Gu have gone out on business and are not home at the moment."

"It's alright. I came over early to make soup, so they can have it when they get back."

Mrs. Lu entered the living room with a smile, and as she passed the reception room, she raised her eyebrows in surprise: "A guest?"

Logically speaking, when guests come to visit, the host family should not leave the house.

"Madam, this Miss Zhang is here to deliver something to Miss Gu."

"Okay, Lao Xiao, the fish maw is ready, and the chicken is a free-range chicken that just arrived from the farm. Go and kill it first. I'll meet the guests later and then make a delicious soup for Manman."

Hearing the sound, Zhang Wei got up and went to the door. She saw Lu Tai carrying a black Hermes Birkin bag in one hand and a pitiful old hen with its wings covered by a net in the other. On the hen's back was a transparent bag containing soaked, thick fish maw.

The chicken's head popped out of the net, its small, beady eyes curiously surveying its surroundings.

Well, the already strong sense of life in this house suddenly became even stronger.

I had done a lot of mental preparation beforehand to prevent myself from feeling jealous because of everything I saw today.

Unexpectedly, she could withstand Gu Lanxi's luxury cars, mansions, and antiques, but not her mother-in-law.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Lu would appear here carrying a chicken, so enthusiastically preparing soup for her daughter-in-law?

Having wealth doesn't guarantee happiness, but being cared for at all times makes her the happiest person in the world.

I practiced my physical training under the guidance of a Taoist priest.

It's absolutely true that it can work your whole body.

My whole body aches today; looks like I trained hard yesterday.

I plan to train every other day, and increase the frequency when I get stronger.

Besides that, from Monday to Friday, I need to walk about 5.5 kilometers every day to pick up and drop off my child, which adds up to about 27.5 kilometers a week.

The amount of exercise has met the standard.

I've gradually adjusted my sleep schedule over the past couple of days, and I can usually lie in bed around midnight every night. However, I still have some difficulty falling asleep, and it's past 1 a.m. before I can fall asleep, but I try to catch up on sleep during the day.

If you get enough sleep, exercise enough, and don't eat too much, you'll naturally lose weight when summer comes.

I'm almost finished reading "Siddhartha" and will try to write a book review this weekend.

The collection of writings still needs to be organized by my senior sister. I will try to finish it this week (in order to update on time, I will write the updates first and then organize them in the future).

I'm going to volunteer at a kindergarten next week, and some friends are coming to Chengdu.

It's March, and I even made plans with a friend to pick bamboo shoots...

I like this feeling of fulfillment.

Set goals, and then do them one by one.

It will feel exceptionally fulfilling.

When I'm trying to be a part of life, I always find myself wanting to reach for my phone. Whenever that happens, I cross my arms and clench my fists until that feeling passes.

It's really not easy to stay focused.

Put your phone out of reach, use an hourglass to time yourself, give yourself a period to concentrate, and then refrain from touching it.

My little trick.

I've done a lot of things these past few days. I feel like I have so much more time when I stop looking at my phone.

Also: Mrs. Lu is really likable~
