The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 503 Competitiveness

Chen Lei's boyfriend had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and was at least 1.9 meters tall. When he rushed into the ward like a gust of wind, Gu Lanxi even had the illusion that what had just barged in was not a person, but a big brown bear.

"Baby, are you okay?"

Besides Chen Lei, Gu Lanxi and Nan Zhi were also in the ward, along with Chen Lei's assistant Yao Yao, who followed closely behind.

But as if he couldn't see anyone, he rushed in and pounced on Chen Lei's bedside, grabbing her hand.

Impulsive, passionate, sincere...

He looked extremely anxious, his wide-open bull eyes filled with emotion, devoid of any skill, focusing solely on genuine feelings.

No wonder they hired online trolls to smear her; the result was full of loopholes, and they could be easily found out with a simple search.

The moment we met, it matched the stereotypes I had in my mind.

This was the first time Gu Lanxi had met him, but thanks to him, she had been mobbed at the airport before, which left her with a deep psychological scar. After that, she always used the VIP channel when she flew, which cost her a lot of money.

Upon meeting, it's inevitable that they'll scrutinize each other from head to toe.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and blue shorts, and his exposed calves were covered with a thick layer of leg hair. They looked rough, but strangely, they gave people the feeling that he was well taken care of.

Sunny and honest, clean, meticulous and particular.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lei liked this one.

"Ouch, you idiot! Be gentle! I'm fine!"

Gu Lanxi was on a phone call with Mei Xue, discussing Chen Lei's public relations issues, when he interrupted them, and they both stopped talking.

Seeing that Gu Lanxi was looking at them without saying a word, and knowing that she couldn't say she was faking illness to gain sympathy in front of so many people, Chen Lei felt a little embarrassed and quickly introduced Gu Lanxi:

"Boss, this is my boyfriend, Ye Qilin. We were college classmates, but he studied mechanical engineering and I studied interior design. After graduation, I entered the entertainment industry, while he went back to work for his family company."

Chen Lei is the kind of person who will seize any opportunity to get ahead. She wouldn't normally be so shameless as to ask her to act as a go-between for her boyfriend, but now that they've met, she naturally wants to say a few more words:

"His family researches and develops special steels and mainly processes auto parts. If Mr. Gu ever has a chance to make money in the future, don't forget to help his family."

I never expected Chen Lei to have a boyfriend she'd been dating for years; she really hid it well!

Aside from Gu Lanxi and Yao Yao, everyone's eyes lit up with gossip when they saw Ye Qilin.

But they all maintained their professionalism, simply watching without saying a word.

Gu Lanxi was lucky she didn't roll her eyes.

Does that mean we're family?
So many people want to be her friends, there's a long line of people waiting!

Besides, her big brown bear had seriously offended her.

Although he accepted Chen Lei's apology gift, Ye Qilin never apologized to her in return.

Gu Lanxi was a respectable person, and naturally she wouldn't say what was on her mind.

He smiled, shook hands with Ye Qilin, exchanged contact information, and without promising anything in return, got back to the main topic:

"The most important thing right now is your matter; other things can wait."

Seeing her attitude, Chen Lei knew there was no chance, so she didn't force the issue.

Just like she said, there's plenty of time.

As long as it brings her enough benefits, given her style of doing things, she probably wouldn't mind making money together.

Chen Lei is still relatively optimistic.

"Instead of hiding things and letting people speculate, which would breed countless rumors, it would be better to be open, report the situation, establish a victim persona, and gain some sympathy."

When Mei Xue's voice came through the phone, Ye Qilin realized that the two of them were in a meeting. Feeling a little embarrassed, he quickly sat down by the hospital bed, picked up an apple, and started peeling it.

Chen Lei stared blankly for a while as the thin apple peel grew longer and longer.

The people around Gu Lanxi are all very capable.

She had just finished her check-up and the report wasn't even out yet, but Nanzhi had already prepared everything she needed for hospitalization. In addition to a change of clothes and toiletries, she bought her a fruit basket and even remembered to buy her a fruit knife.

Seeing her lost in thought, Gu Lanxi was speechless.

"Chen Lei, this is your own business, you need to pay more attention to it."

She was too busy to be a eunuch.

The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are? Ha!

Chen Lei had gotten into a habit, and upon hearing this, she reflexively replied, "It's okay, I believe you."

Gu Lanxi was so angry she laughed:

“Even your own parents might sell their own child. How well do you know me? How dare you say you trust me? If you’re used to being a leech, a parasite that can only survive by relying on others, then you’re of no use to me. If you’re just trying to test me, then there’s even less reason to do so.”

Without even basic trust, what kind of cooperation is that?

Especially since Chen Lei's agency contract is currently held by another company, it's uncertain whether or when she can be signed.

Her current exertion and effort are purely an initial investment.

The partner's attitude was not enthusiastic, and she was not in a position to cooperate.

To put it bluntly, Chen Lei might indeed bring her benefits, but the possibility of her bringing trouble is even greater.

Moreover, she can earn a lot of money on her own every year, and the reason she agreed to Chen Lei's request was also due to her dissatisfaction with the dirty dealings in the entertainment industry.

If Chen Lei is truly an incompetent person, she will simply leave.

Seeing her face turn cold instantly, she called out "Zhizhi" and prepared to leave. Chen Lei quickly jumped off the hospital bed and grabbed her arm.

"Boss, I was wrong. I was just scared. Now that I've relaxed, I'm a little distracted. It's not that I'm not paying attention."

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Gu Lanxi took the opportunity to back down and sat down by the bedside.

Knowing how fierce she was, Ye Qilin didn't dare to provoke her and sat quietly to the side. "Any progress in the case?"

"The investigation is still ongoing, and the family members have already gone there with their lawyers."

"You can stay in the hospital and see how things go. Don't worry about public opinion; I'll handle that for now."

After speaking, he took the power of attorney from Nan Zhi, looked at it for a few seconds, signed it quickly, and then handed it to Chen Lei, indicating that she should sign it.

Gu Lanxi never believed in empty promises; she always put everything on paper before doing anything. After reading the letter of authorization, Chen Lei felt very reassured and nodded.

"As for the production crew, please take two days off. I will personally contact Director Tian and tell him that you are too grief-stricken and need time to adjust."

Chen Lei nodded again.

Gu Lanxi said goodbye and left with her entourage.

After everyone left, only Ye Qilin remained in the ward. Chen Lei then called him to her side and whispered the whole story in his ear.

Ye Qilin went on a business trip yesterday and only rushed back today after seeing the news. He really doesn't know what happened.

Hearing her say that, I couldn't help but nod.

Instead of spending all day scheming against a bunch of old foxes, it's better to follow Gu Lanxi, make money honestly and openly, and be safe.

The Ye family is in the manufacturing industry. If it weren't for the fact that they are completely out of their element in the entertainment industry, Ye Qilin wouldn't be in such a helpless situation.

When his girlfriend told him she was planning to follow Gu Lanxi, Ye Qilin started to think about it.

Gu Lanxi herself got married early. If you hang out with her, does that mean they can get married soon too?
To be honest, his girlfriend is a very popular and beautiful woman. He has to be wary of both men and women all the time, which is really exhausting for him.

He was exhausted, and Lu Nanting was even more exhausted after seeing the airport video.

Is this guy surnamed Chen crazy?
When she encounters problems, she doesn't turn to her family or boyfriend, but instead goes to his wife, and then in public, she hugs him so tightly and cries so loudly the moment they meet!
Could it be that he has ulterior motives towards his wife?

Thinking of this, Lu Nanting, who had finished work at 1 a.m., insisted on taking a red-eye flight and returned home at 3:30 a.m.

Seeing that Gu Lanxi was sleeping soundly, he quietly lay down next to her and breathed a sigh of relief.

The next morning, Gu Lanxi ended her vacation and had to return to the set to continue filming. Before going to the set, she first went to the hospital to visit Chen Lei.

Lu Nanting quickly put on a baseball cap and a mask and followed.

In just one day, fan artists who didn't know their own strength have already started writing short fan fiction stories. In addition, there are also great artists producing super cute comics, and all kinds of short jokes are going viral online.

If the "Xi" in the "Xi Lei" CP wasn't his wife Gu Lanxi, he would definitely still be very enthusiastic about shipping them.

But things didn't go as planned.

It's not really a good idea to get angry about this, since there are countless bizarre couples online. Even Voldemort and Lin Daiyu have their fans, so shipping Gu Lanxi and Chen Lei seems perfectly normal.

There was no other way but for him to work harder and stay closer to the situation, so as not to give people any room to spread rumors.

Then, the two arrived at the hospital, asked the bodyguard guarding the corridor, and confirmed that Chen Lei had not been harassed last night before going to her ward.

As soon as the door opened, the fully armed young couple saw Ye Qilin, who had come to open it.

And Chen Lei, sitting in his arms, being lifted high in his arms.

Gu Lanxi had never seen anything like this before. She stared at it with wide eyes for several seconds before finally getting down to business.

After a brief exchange of words and a discussion about the latest developments in the case, the young couple put their masks back on and went downstairs. As soon as they got into the car, Gu Lanxi grabbed Lu Nanting's hand:
"Are you unhappy?"

When he woke up in the morning, Gu Lanxi had already told him what had happened. At that time, he seemed quite calm. Why did he become so upset after leaving the hospital?

Lu Nanting refused to say anything, and Gu Lanxi was busy filming, so she didn't press him.

Then, for a while, Lu Nanting seized every spare moment at work to work out like crazy.

Gu Lanxi belatedly realized that Ye Qilin had ignited her competitive spirit.
Can't help but laugh.

She looks slender, but her body is muscular and she's quite heavy, unlike those skinny female celebrities who are starved.

What am I thinking, wanting to pick her up in this position?

I'm not the kind of author who's very aggressive, and I haven't sent anyone a permanent ban plus deleted comments in a long time.

Generally speaking, this is the kind of person I don't welcome at all. I hope that the other person will never read my book or have any interaction with me in their lifetime.

One of them left early this morning.

In an old book, there's a passage about Ni Bingyan doing charity work. This person commented that Han H's charity work is just for fame and reputation. Why not do it secretly? Why do it so publicly? It's just for appearances. The money donated definitely won't be used to help those who need it...

They don't know anyone about the people involved, and they're completely clueless about how charitable foundations operate. They just open their eyes and start spouting nonsense.

Simply.

I hope there will be more and more people like this who spend over twenty years on superficial projects.

I don't know this person, and I don't understand them. I only care about these frivolous, superficial, and irresponsible remarks. I feel that this person is incompatible with me, and I refuse to get to know them any further.

A while ago, a post asked what you do to make yourself feel better when life feels tough.

I replied that I write novels because it allows me to meet many like-minded people, which makes me happy.

Therefore, if I see something unpleasant, I will promptly drive it away.

I crave subscriptions, but I don't like just any kind of reader.

For me, feeling happy is the most important thing in this line of work; everything else comes second.

I hope you read books that you like, and if you don't get along with me, you don't have to put up with it.

Perhaps I would be happier if I were like this.

Well, after blocking the person, I wrote a few lines of cricket text, and then I calmed myself down.

My life motto is to resolutely avoid internal conflict.
