The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 308 Discussion
He finally got permission to show off in a high-profile way, but netizens caused a lot of trouble, forcing him to delete the Weibo post.

Lu Nanting was naturally unhappy.

But there are things I'm too embarrassed to say in front of my mother, so I can only keep them to myself.

Breakfast was rather unappetizing. Seeing the two of them peeling eggs while discussing solutions via video call with their agents, Zhang Ruolan didn't disturb them. She finished her meal quickly, made an excuse, grabbed her bag, and left.

It's not that she doesn't care about her children; it's just that she's quite open-minded. As long as it doesn't involve matters of principle, her three sons can make their own decisions about their private affairs.

Moreover, not to mention her two sons, her younger son is already an adult and has his own family. If she, as the mother-in-law, makes too many troubles, it will be very annoying.

If she needs more staff, she can help out, but she never interferes with daily affairs.

This is based on her experience of raising three sons, none of whom are mama's boys.

The couple were busy with a meeting and didn't have time to see her off. Since they were family, Zhang Ruolan didn't complain. She went downstairs, found her car, and drove off.

Gu Lanxi originally wanted to edit the video and add a watermark saying "Professional behavior, please do not imitate", but after discussion, both studios agreed that it would be best to delete it for the sake of safety.

Not only did she delete the content, Gu Lanxi also had to apologize, stating that playing with slingshots was just a personal hobby of hers, and that she always played in a safe place without threatening anyone's property or personal safety. She appealed to everyone to be rational.

Fearing that people would criticize Lu Nanting for posting recklessly without regard for her well-being, she clarified that Lu Nanting had obtained her consent before posting on Weibo, but neither of them expected that others would follow suit.

As for saying things like "following along to learn but not understanding, and instead causing a lot of trouble," Gu Lanxi really wanted to say it, but she held back.

The apology letter was polished by staff from both sides, making it extremely official and leaving no room for any further discussion.

They didn't need to be so careful, but they've become incredibly popular in the last six months. Their studio has been struggling most of the time with what new ways to remove them from trending topics. Those marketing accounts always have to stir up trouble, and if they don't take drastic measures this time, who knows how far things will escalate.

After finishing breakfast and dealing with Weibo matters, the young couple decided it was time to head out.

"Take me to the studio, and I'll pick you up when you're done."

Lu Nanting was feeling uncomfortable, and Gu Lanxi could sense it.

After leaving the garage, he didn't even look for his own car, but simply followed Lu Nanting.

Her way of comforting people was rather unique: she would order Lu Nanting around.

In her opinion, many people like to overthink things, which is just because they are idle. If they had something to do, they wouldn't have so much leisure time.

Today she's going to the studio for a meeting to discuss development plans and script selection with the staff. Lu Nanting's meeting will start and end a little later due to jet lag, but the timing is just right.

Lu Nanting hummed in agreement, led her into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and then sighed deeply, filled with regret: "If I had known, I would have only sent the photo of the nail board."

That nail board wasn't anything special; with a little effort, you could knock it out with a small hammer.

If you just take a picture and post it, without knowing the production process, no one will think much about it.

Honestly, I was so shocked after seeing it live that I felt I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't share it and show it off.

“The gift I gave you wasn’t just this wooden board, but also the process of making it. Otherwise, I would have made it long ago and given it to you when you came back. Why would I make it while you’re here, right under your nose? So there’s absolutely no problem with you posting the video.”

What's the point of blaming yourself now that it's already happened?

Gu Lanxi has never been one to engage in internal strife.

If there's a mistake, it's someone else's fault.

"It's all these netizens' fault. They're too competitive and have such bizarre thought processes. They want to learn everything, but they can't understand it at all. And then they have the nerve to blame us for not reminding them. They're really unreasonable."

In private, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but say a few words.

Lu Nanting, on the other hand, was quite open-minded and even had the time to comfort her:

"That's how it is in this line of work. Everyone's watching us with an eight-times magnified lens, and even the smallest problem is blown out of proportion. I have to say, some things really do depend on talent. Look at me, I've suffered so many losses without even realizing the hidden dangers right away, but you thought of it immediately. Even Sister Fan and Sister Mei didn't think of that!"

"There's no way around it, I remember that sentence very well."

"What?"

Gu Lanxi chuckled lightly: "There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me!"

Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh!

"That is all thanks to Your Majesty."

"Of course! You're doomed, Teacher Lu, you can't live without me."

"Yes, I won't leave you. I'll eat and drink well with you every day, and life will be wonderful."

"Yes, I grant your request. I'll take you out for chicken dinner tonight. A friend of mine discovered a hidden gem of a private restaurant the other day."

"That's fantastic! It gives me even more motivation at work."

The driver was driving, and as usual, a bodyguard sat in the passenger seat. The young couple sat in the back seat, and before they even left the residential area, they were already reflecting on their actions.

Having said everything that needed to be said, the two joked and played around for a while. Gu Lanxi then held up a finger, twirled her hair, and summarized:

"Therefore, it's best not to post your private life online and to keep a low profile."

Lu Nanting also reflected: "I should have posted it on WeChat Moments." "There are all sorts of people on WeChat Moments, and it's not safe."

"Couldn't you group people up? When posting on Moments, could you block people you're not close to?"

At this point, Gu Lanxi suddenly took out his phone and opened his WeChat Moments.

"Speaking of which, there's something I've suspected for a long time..."

"Really? Someone would doubt a man as honest as me?"

"Why do you post so much on WeChat Moments? You post several times a day. Don't your friends find it annoying?"

As she spoke, Gu Lanxi had already scrolled to the history.

Sure enough, many of the peacock-themed posts on her WeChat Moments were only visible to her.

Gu Lanxi's mood inexplicably improved: "I'm so stupid, I can't even figure out how to check my phone."

Seeing a blush creep onto her lips, Lu Nanting was speechless: "So, have I been flirting with Ah Bing for years?"

"Ah Bing is a man, don't give me random nicknames. If I really go blind one day, you'll be the one crying."

"Pah, pah, pah, I was wrong! Pretend I didn't say anything. But you're really slow on the uptake. A lot of the time, you don't get what I mean. Sometimes your reaction time is super long. It's been years, and you come to me saying, 'I've forgotten about this and that, but you still remember.' It's so embarrassing."

"You can't blame me for that. I've never talked to anyone before, and nobody taught me!"

"You're just not paying attention; otherwise, you'd be much smarter than me."

"Well, Professor Lu really knows how to talk about love. So, where did you study? Could you tell me about the process?"

"When God opens a door for you, he closes a window. This is a gift, so don't be jealous."

The two chatted idly, holding hands as they watched the bustling traffic outside the car.

After a long while, Gu Lanxi suddenly asked him:

"Didn't you ever consider that my hobby is too dangerous?"

Lu Nanting's thoughts were still on dating tips. Hearing this, he paused for a moment before understanding her meaning, and couldn't help but find it amusing:

"Compared to those overseas people who like to play with guns and raise cheetahs, what's this? A slingshot is just a kid's toy. Practicing martial arts is good for your health. Skateboarding is a way to cultivate a small interest, that's perfectly fine!"

"What if I go and do something even more dangerous?"

"How dangerous? Haven't you always been very protective of your life?"

Gu Lanxi scratched her head: "Maybe, I'm just saying maybe, the danger in my mind and the danger in the public's mind are not the same thing."

Lu Nanting: "..."

Sister Wang signed up for a storytelling competition. I wrote a script for her, recorded the audio, had her memorize it, adjusted her posture and expressions, and finally prepared the props, hoping she could perform as well as possible.

She found me annoying, covered her ears and refused to listen. She was extremely arrogant, thinking she could easily get first place with just a casual remark.

I'm not going to care anymore.

He passed the preliminary round and became arrogant and boastful every day.

With the finals approaching, her teacher urged her to intensify her preparations, offering numerous suggestions and implying that she wasn't working hard enough.

When I realized I was in a hurry, I asked my mom to teach me!

I told her, "I'm your mother, not a goddess. If you don't work hard, I can't cram knowledge into your head."

I showed her the video of the preliminary round that the teacher had recorded, so she could see the difference between herself and her classmates. She burst into tears, saying that I didn't love her and that I always praised others.

Well, in her view, being a mother means blindly praising someone regardless of the facts.

Even when we were dating, we weren't so love-struck that we lost all sense of right and wrong! How can we possibly raise children in the wrong way?

He was so angry he was practically fuming, and he went on a rampage for half an hour, indulging in a life of leisure and laziness without even realizing it...

It used almost the dirtiest words and the most vicious descriptions I could think of.

Sister Wang was devastated because she couldn't understand most of what she was hearing.

Are you so proud? You were insulted to your face and didn't even know what I said?
You have disgraced me.

Flowers need to be carefully cared for to bloom.

How can you expect to gain something for nothing without putting in the effort?

She started admitting her mistake: "Mommy, hug me, I was wrong."

He sighed and hugged her.

Mom loves you, so she's disappointed in you. You must become a better person, otherwise how can you face yourself?
