The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 304 Gift
Gu Lanxi has never received much genuine affection since childhood, which makes her always skeptical when it comes to relationships.

Because of their strong sense of self-esteem and unwillingness to endure hardship again, they place great importance on personal gain.

Except when dealing with a few people he cares about, he truly only acts when there is something in it for him.

To her, alumni were basically strangers; she valued them only because they were valuable enough.

As one of the top universities in China, University A has always only admitted the best students. Those who are admitted must have both talent and hard work.

Unless such people are extremely unlucky or are naturally prone to self-destruction, they are unlikely to do too badly after graduation.

Whether it's attending alumni associations, donating to her alma mater, or taking time each year to go back and give speeches, Gu Lanxi does it all to enhance her influence within this community.

On the surface, it seems she didn't gain any substantial benefits.

But in reality, she's just a small studio, and whenever she wants to hire someone, she can immediately find a suitable person, which is even better than those big companies in the industry.

Another thing is that if there are companies in the industry that are short of staff, she can act as a go-between if she has a good relationship with them.

For both parties, what she did was a great thing, but for her, job seekers were grateful for her help in finding good jobs, and those who needed staff were grateful for her help in recruiting. It was a win-win situation.

This is only part of the benefits. With in-depth development, every connection, if used in the right place and at the right time, can bring benefits.

In addition, she frequently accepts invitations from major economic forums to serve as a spokesperson, as this greatly enhances her industry influence.

As for entertainment programs in the entertainment industry, she never accepts them, no matter how high the appearance fee is.

Compared to the previous two, this kind of occasion is of absolutely no help to her development.

She doesn't like to go to great lengths to talk about her private affairs in purely entertainment settings to please the public and invite their criticism, or to make outrageous and attention-grabbing statements.

She has a clear understanding of her own position.

The Chinese entertainment industry is the Chinese entertainment industry, and Gu Lanxi is Gu Lanxi.

She doesn't need to hype herself up or create a persona; she just needs to be herself, and countless people will naturally be attracted to her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while longer. Knowing that the young couple hadn't seen each other for a long time, Zhang Ruolan, being very perceptive, said she was tired and went back to her room to rest.

For celebrities, weight management is almost a lifelong endeavor.

They ate too much meat tonight, so it's impossible for them to just go to sleep like this.

Seeing that Zhang Ruolan had gone back to her room to rest, the two went downstairs together and went to the basement.

In addition to a home theater and a games room for guests to pass the time, there is also a gym here.

Through the skylight, you can see snowflakes falling, and the room is warm and cozy.

Lu Nanting got on the treadmill. Gu Lanxi, who had been standing in high heels all day, didn't want to run, so she fixed a target to the corner of the wall, took out a box of nails with red paint on the top, and took out the treasure slingshot she found in Liuhua Lake Park. She happily started playing with it.

The target was made of linden wood, a square piece, with a low saturation, a light brownish-yellow color.

This type of wood is soft, has fine grain, is tough, rich in oils, is rot-resistant and wear-resistant, and is not prone to cracking. It was the wood that Gu Lanxi selected after trying many different types of wood recently.

She stood a few meters away, picked up her slingshot, squinted slightly, and with a "thud," the sharp nail was driven into the wooden board.

The nail penetrated the wood of just the right thickness. From the front, it was just a red dot, but from the back, a short section of the nail could be seen through it.

The gym was separated from the outside by a glass partition. The door was open, and Gu Lanxi made a noise outside, so Lu Nanting immediately ran out.

"what happened?"

"I'm tired today, and I'm sleepy after eating. I'll play something to wake me up. Will it disturb you? Or should I go to the garage?"

There were no guests at home today, the parking space was empty, and because we have quite a few luxury cars, the garage was heated.

But Lu Nanting wanted to run while watching her, so he naturally disagreed.

"Stay here with me, I'm scared to be alone."

Gu Lanxi suppressed a laugh: "You're afraid even at your own home? Who keeps you company when I'm not home?"

Lu Nanting chuckled, moved a signboard out from the corner, and placed it next to the treadmill.

But it was the same standee of the spokesperson that I carried back from the Canni store last time.

"Are you sure you don't go this far?!"

"I like having you by my side, what's wrong with that?"

"Alright, alright, go for a run, finish early so you can go to bed early."

"Well, I hope the snow won't be too heavy tonight, we still have to shoot some material outdoors tomorrow."

"Put on more hand warmers."

"Xiao Jiang and the others will prepare everything, including long down jackets and ginger soup, all of which are already cooked, so don't worry."

"Ah."

Gu Lanxi responded and pulled the slingshot again, producing another "thud." Lu Nanting didn't want to run anymore, so he took out dumbbells and started lifting them while watching her.

Halfway through watching, I found it interesting, so I quietly took out my phone, put it on the stand, secured it, found a good spot, and started recording a video.

At first, he just thought Gu Lanxi was amazing. The board was so small, yet every nail could be placed on it and pierce through it perfectly.

As more and more nails were added, the red heart on the board began to take shape, and he gradually realized that something was amiss.

He hurriedly put down the dumbbells and went to get the video camera.

Compared to mobile phones, video recorders can record higher definition videos.

The lights were on inside, making it very bright.

Gu Lanxi was still wearing the same clothes she had worn during the day. Because the heating in the house was quite warm, she had taken off her blazer and was only wearing her blue silk inner layer. Under the light, she looked radiant.

After turning on the camera, Lu Nanting took his phone off, turned off the sound, squatted down, and quietly took many photos.

The nails weren't small, and each pull of the slingshot required a lot of force, causing sweat to slowly bead on Gu Lanxi's forehead.

As the space on the board became smaller and smaller, the margin for error became lower and lower. At first, she could still spare a glance at Lu Nanting and talk to him, but later she couldn't care less at all.

Once the last nail was perfectly driven in, Gu Lanxi turned around and handed over the slingshot, her hands trembling slightly.

How can you be such a genius?

Lu Nanting had been waiting for this, and upon reaching out to take her, he couldn't resist picking her up in his arms!

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

Gu Lanxi patted his head, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Was it a gift for me? Oh my god, was it really a gift for me?"

This reminded him of the unicorn plush toy that took 99 minutes and 520 coins to catch.

"Yes, a gift."

"Such a thoughtful gift, and it's not a holiday or a birthday..."

Lu Nanting put her down, walked over, took off the wooden board, and touched it back and forth, chuckling as he did so. The shocked expression on his face never faded!
"Loving you never picks a time, so there's no need to give gifts."

She had clearly been preparing for this for a long time, but when she talked about it, she always looked nonchalant.

That's exactly who she is.

You might say she lacks a sense of ritual? She always puts a lot of thought and time into preparing gifts.

She does have them, doesn't she? She always takes them out on random days and in random places.

Just like when she posts on Weibo, aside from responding to Lu Nanting's posts, she basically posts whenever and wherever she feels like it, completely following her feelings.

"This is simply a miracle! Witnessing its creation firsthand was absolutely breathtaking!"

"This one is 26 centimeters long and has 52 nails. I originally wanted to use small nails and replace them with a 52-centimeter-long board with 520 nails, but that can't be done in one go. It would take several days to make. The nails are too small, and it's not easy to find the right position."

Seeing her still there with regret, Lu Nanting was about to go crazy!
"That's terrifying! It's inhuman! If you actually pull that off, I'll have to treat you like a god!"

Seeing his exaggerated expression, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh.

"And this is great! I can take it anywhere. I'll find a box and put it in."

"And then? No matter who I meet, I take it out and show it to them. 'Look, guess what this is? My wife gave it to me!'"

Lu Nanting simply smiled and did not deny it.

"I'll do this unless you agree to let me post on Weibo."

"Go ahead and send it! I'm going upstairs to take a shower."

"Okay, I'll edit the video first~"

Despite having just taken a long flight and exercised for so long, he was as energetic as if he had been injected with eight doses of chicken blood, wishing he could stay awake until dawn!

There are double monthly passes at the end of the month, so please save them for me!
I haven't asked for votes this month, and my monthly vote ranking has dropped to over 50th place. I'm feeling anxious.

If you get into the top 50, you'll have 1,000 achievement points next month.

If you can rank in the top 50 for four consecutive months, you can achieve the Hall of Fame one-star, and then you can get the "Top 3" badge.

I plan to work hard and achieve this big goal before National Day.

Please, please~ you have to save some for me~
I prefer giving gifts anytime, anywhere, rather than receiving them on special occasions.

That feeling of surprise will be very different.

It's like two people walking together when someone suddenly picks a wildflower, asks you to look down, and gently tucks it into your hair—that unexpected surprise.

For some reason, I have a feeling that although Mr. Lu is very good at dating, Ms. Gu is much more skilled and has him completely under her thumb.
