The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 325 This is going to kill me!
December 5th, sunny.

Lu Taitian was busy preparing donkey-hide gelatin and donkey meat as soon as it was light. After breakfast, he took people to the farm.

Eating donkey meat is simple; the butcher kills the donkey, and the meat can be taken home and eaten on the same day.

Making donkey-hide gelatin takes several days and involves many complicated steps; just soaking the donkey skin according to the requirements takes three days.

Mrs. Lu is going to be very busy from now on.

Gu Lanxi woke up a little later than her, but she opened her eyes as soon as the alarm clock started vibrating.

Behind her, a large hand was still wrapped around her hip. Gu Lanxi knew it was Lu Nanting just by smelling it.

I don't know what time she got home last night; she was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even realize it.

Seeing that his eyes were closed and his breathing was steady, Gu Lanxi did not disturb him.

I threw off the covers, pulled away my big hands, got up quietly, washed up, put on some light makeup, put on my business suit, and then grabbed my bag and went downstairs.

Lu Weidong was wearing his reading glasses and reading a newspaper by the window when he saw her come downstairs and invited her to sit down for dinner.

"Dad, you can get up and eat first. You don't need to wait for me to have breakfast together."

"There aren't many people in the family, so it's more lively to eat together."

Lu Weidong didn't adhere to the rules of not speaking while eating or sleeping. While eating breakfast, he chatted with her about the news of the transaction of a piece of land in the western suburbs.

“If we were to develop a commercial complex, there are already other commercial plazas nearby, and the customer traffic is scattered, so it would be difficult to succeed. We would need to come up with something unique to attract customers.”

Gu Lanxi expressed her opinion conservatively.

She is always like this in areas where she is not good at anything, and never tries to be different.

Many people thought she was arrogant because she achieved success at a young age, but in fact, most people who had dealings with her thought she was humble and polite.

Lu Weidong wanted to teach her, so he told her what he would do with the land if he got it.

How should the goals be set? What are the specific steps involved? Who needs to be assigned to this task? And what connections need to be established to make things easier while avoiding legal risks?

Gu Lanxi knew he was teaching her, and finally understood why he was waiting for her to have breakfast together.

Lu Weidong is very busy, and the only time he can spare to teach her each day is in the morning and evening.

Once I get to the company, I'll be so busy all day long.

As Gu Lanxi listened intently, she made up her mind to set her alarm ten minutes earlier, starting tomorrow.

So as not to miss this morning's "one-on-one private tutoring session with business tycoons".

After breakfast, having finished analyzing a small topic, the father-in-law and daughter-in-law went out together.

Taking the coat from Aunt Chen, Gu Lanxi picked up her bag and followed Lu Weidong down to the garage.

From a distance, I could see a square-faced man in his forties standing by the car, wearing an executive jacket and holding a folder in his hand.

Before the two could get close, the man immediately greeted them with a smile, first saying hello to Lu Weidong before reaching out to shake hands with Gu Lanxi.

"President Gu, I am Zhu Junliang, President Lu's special assistant. Please feel free to let me know if there is anything I can do for you."

However, Lu Weidong had already made the arrangements yesterday.

Gu Lanxi quickly bowed humbly: "It is I who have troubled Assistant Zhu to give you guidance."

Lu Weidong greeted them with a smile and said, "This kid is smart and energetic, but he's still young and inexperienced. He needs more practice."

"Mr. Gu is young and promising, and so eager to learn. Given time, he will surely achieve great things!"

Zhu Junliang spoke in a friendly and generous manner, and his compliments only made him seem eager, without the slightest hint of flattery. Gu Lanxi had a very good first impression of him.

Once in the car, Zhu Junliang began to report on the day's itinerary.

As the head of a large corporation, Lu Weidong is very busy every day, sometimes with so many things to do that he can't even remember them all.

Having a team around him to help him organize the trivial matters, he only needs to follow the schedule, which saves him a lot of trouble. Gu Lanxi doesn't have this problem.

She prioritizes and remembers everything in her mind. She always knows what she should do and doesn't need anyone to remind her.

Her attention was mainly focused on the itinerary.

What does Lu Weidong do every day, and how does he prioritize his tasks? Why did he schedule meetings with two different people in succession?

There are many minor details that I haven't truly experienced; I can only proceed by trial and error.

It's different when someone is there to guide you.

Even if the water is still very deep, with someone guiding you and knowing where the next stone is, you won't slip and fall.

Gu Lanxi stopped her entertainment activities and openly went to work at Lu's company with Lu Weidong.

When senior management held meetings, she would add a seat next to the Lu brothers, Lu Nanyi and Lu Nansheng, to listen. When subordinates came into the office to report on their work, she would also sit quietly to the side and listen.

Even more extreme, she would go and listen to her two brothers-in-law's departmental meetings.

For a time, everyone in the Lu family was speculating whether the third young mistress was going to retire from the entertainment industry and join the Lu family as a high-level executive.

Lu's Group is a very mature and large enterprise. The top management is very specialized, and every change in leadership can cause a bloodbath.

Lu Weidong didn't want to create panic, so he sent an internal letter saying that Gu Lanxi was from another company and had come to learn from their advanced experience, and asked everyone to continue working as usual.

Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but murmur amongst themselves, but no one dared to say anything more.

Gu Lanxi always ignored these things as long as they weren't used in close combat.

She adapted well to Lu's company, learning from their advanced experience while taking notes and summarizing. Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

I received a call from Lu Nanting during lunch.

On weekdays, he's home alone, and Lu Nanting inevitably complains a bit on the phone.

Gu Lanxi coaxed him softly, "Mom will be back soon. You wait for her at home. Do you remember the recipe for the braised beef I made last time? I'll send it to you on WeChat later. If you're unsure about the measurements, remember to weigh it with the kitchen scale. When Mom comes back, you should braise the donkey meat first, then let the dough rise. I'll make the pancakes when I get back. Oh, and the dough rises slowly in winter, so remember to put it near the kitchen radiator."

This trick still works.

With something to do, Lu Nanting had no time to think about anything else and quickly perked up.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Lanxi casually put her phone on the dining table and was about to continue eating when Lu Nanting called again.

"what happened?"

"I forgot to tell you, 'Walking with Love' will air tonight, and the production team released a trailer this morning."

"Oh, which segment was cut?"

"The part where you danced."

At this point, Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Now you don't have to do anything, the solo fans have already started calling you Empress Daji."

That innocent yet alluring, seductive charm that she didn't even realize made her seem like a naive and impetuous fox spirit.

The video is very short, with each guest having a segment. Gu Lanxi's segment is only a few seconds long, featuring the most highlights of the day's dance.

The dance moves were clearly poorly executed, and the timing was off, but even casual viewers couldn't help but comment after watching the video: "This is terrible!! How could you dance like that!!"

"Oh."

Gu Lanxi never dwells on things that have already happened.

She cared more about the donkey meat sandwich that night than that lousy TV show.

"I forgot to remind you, remember to check if you have any green peppers at home. If you don't, you'll have to ask someone to go out and buy some."
