The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 587 Learning from the Scriptures
"Manman, how have you been lately?"

In early March, Gu Lanxi's horse participated in a large-scale equestrian competition for the first time after more than a year of formal training. Fearing that the horse would not adapt well, and since she had already arranged all her work, she rushed to accompany it to the competition before the variety show filming started.

Although she didn't spend much time with the horse, perhaps because of the language barrier, the horse became very close to her.

Before the competition started, Gu Lanxi went over and talked to it for a while. She then stood by the training ground and watched the riders lead the horses in pre-competition training.

Just as she was engrossed in watching, someone tapped her on the shoulder. Gu Lanxi recognized the voice as Wei Jinfang's and quickly turned around with a smile, calling out, "Second Aunt."

Seeing that she hadn't come alone today, he obediently called out "Second Uncle".

Second Uncle Gu Weiming is an introverted and steady person. He is not particularly capable, but he has a good personality. Compared with her scumbag father Gu Weihao, he is like heaven and earth.

To be honest, Gu Lanxi had thought more than once when she was a child that if she were her second uncle's daughter, she would definitely have lived a happy and carefree life like Sister Yongxin.

However, Gu Weiming is not a perfect person. In his youth, he was extremely obsessed with horse racing and often went to Hong Kong Island to gamble on horse races, but he lost nine out of ten times.

As a result, Wei Jinfang was so angry that she went back to her parents' home more than once.

Later, her father gave her an idea.

Men's hobbies are better left unchecked than suppressed. Instead of constantly going against him, it's better to be straightforward: pay him to buy racehorses, let him learn to raise horses and participate in various competitions. If managed properly, he could even start a horse racing club to make some money. At the same time, you could get him into places like horse racing associations, making him a respectable and passionate mascot.

It's important to know that gambling is prohibited in mainland China. Horse racing is a respectable sport and has absolutely nothing to do with dissolute behavior.

With excellent thoroughbred horses at your disposal, a respectable career within reach, and endless thrilling races, only a fool would gamble.

After being given a hint by his father, Wei Jinfang felt enlightened and not only did as he was told, but he also performed exceptionally well.

Over the years, the couple has always had a good relationship. They had one child after another. Now that they're this age, while other people's middle-aged men are dangling their bellies and cuddling young models, her husband is always riding horses and exercising. Even in his fifties, he's still a handsome uncle. Every day, his mind is full of serious horses. He often takes her to watch competitions, proudly showing her the empire he's built. Life couldn't be better.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh when she saw the two of them.

She always says she's not like Lu Nanting, a gossipmonger. In fact, once she hears something, she never forgets it. No matter how many years have passed, she'll remember it immediately when she sees the person involved.

For example, right now, she's thinking of her second aunt's coal mine owner father.

He's the kind of person who survived the chaos of the past and still managed to live a clean and wealthy life. He's got the skills and the brains, and he could easily handle his son-in-law.

Thanks to her aunt, Gu Lanxi had known this big shot since she was a child, and even called him "Grandpa" along with her cousins. She heard a lot of interesting stories about his family when she was young.

In the early years, with tightening policies and resource depletion, many coal bosses flocked to the entertainment industry like headless flies, hoping to make a fortune through it. However, this grandfather transformed his business by opening photovoltaic power stations and specialty agricultural factories. On one hand, he built high-standard greenhouses and engaged in off-season planting, and on the other hand, he focused on deep processing of grains to sell Shanxi specialties to other regions. With the advent of the Internet age, he also took advantage of this trend and started selling Shanxi aged vinegar online.

Frankly, even Gu Lanxi doesn't have the confidence to accurately predict every trend over several decades.

Speaking of which, she collaborated a lot with the Wei family when she started that agricultural e-commerce company last year, and products like quinoa and millet have always been very popular.

"I'm doing quite well lately, thanks to the dried tangerine peel my aunt gave me. It helped me feel better a while ago."

“It’s nothing. I was just showing off what I use at home. Knowing your mother-in-law’s personality, she probably already had plenty prepared. I was just adding to the good things.”

"With your ability to judge people, Second Aunt, if I were the kind of ungrateful person, you wouldn't treat me so well."

Gu Weiming greeted him briefly without saying much, his eyes only on his horse, which he had already gone to check on.

Many things require family tradition. If Gu Weiming hadn't loved horse racing, Gu Yongxin wouldn't have been able to own her own racehorse at such a young age and take her cousin to watch races.

Gu Lanxi quite enjoyed interacting with close relatives, and since it was a rare opportunity, she couldn't resist leaning close to Wei Jinfang's ear and whispering something to her while covering her mouth:
“Every time I see you and your second uncle, I think, I wish that my brother Ting and I could be as happy as you two in the future!”

Wei Jinfang has always been very proud of her skills in managing her husband and raising children, and she would talk endlessly about them whenever she mentioned them.

Seeing that Gu Lanxi took the initiative to start a conversation, he took her to the VIP room to have some snacks and tea, and chatted about everyday things.

This wasn't something she wanted to say.

When it comes to improving one's quality of life, she's not one to be stingy when it comes to learning from a younger person who wants to gain experience.

Gu Lanxi saw through it but didn't say anything. She called her assistant to ask where she was and told them to find her in the private room. Then she followed Wei Jinfang. They say three women make a drama, and she was about to participate in a pregnancy reality show. Several pregnant and sensitive women she didn't know were gathered together, and she was actually a little apprehensive.

Gu Lanxi felt it was very necessary to talk more with older female relatives and learn from the experiences of successful people.

"I was going to call you, but I didn't expect you to come today, hehe."

"Oh? You missed me?"

"Thinking of you is a daily occurrence, but I mainly have something to do," Gu Lanxi said, no longer whispering in Wei Jinfang's ear once they were in the private room. "I'm going to record a variety show tomorrow, and I don't know the other guests. I'm afraid we won't get along, and I won't be able to win an argument with them."

Because Gu Lanxi's mother passed away early, and her grandmother was an eccentric, Wei Jinfang had always taken good care of her. Knowing why she was talking about this, she didn't hesitate to offer some advice:
"In situations with many women, I'll teach you a trick: when it comes to things that don't concern your own interests, just listen. Even if you disagree with someone's opinion, don't argue back. Winning an argument against an idiot isn't something to be proud of, and being rendered speechless by an idiot definitely makes you feel bad. You'd be better off using that energy to do something worthwhile and not wasting your time and energy on unworthy people."

"Wouldn't that be a bit too arrogant? It gives off a feeling of being the only one sober in a world of drunks."

"Just remember not to look at me like I'm trash."

"What do you mean? I've always been very gentle, okay!"

"During that last interview, the host made you angry, and you just stared at him like that. I'll search it up and show you! You still don't believe me!"

Despite his often sour face, Lu Nanting is actually much gentler and more polite at heart, and rarely acts rudely towards others.

Gu Lanxi, however, is the type to take revenge immediately; anyone who crosses her will be quick to lash out.

After hearing what she said, Wei Jinfang was genuinely worried about the variety show.

While searching for videos, she couldn't stop talking and continued talking about Gu Lanxi: "I'm really looking forward to this show. You must control your temper and not ruin the show."

"It's not that serious~"

No sooner had she made such a confident promise than the production team, which then taught her a lesson.

Several months into the school term, I checked Sister Wang's pencil case for the first time and found eight erasers and eleven different pencils.

I packed it for her myself when school started: one eraser, five pencils. She's been using them for over three months, and the number keeps increasing.

When I first saw it, my scalp tingled.

Especially when she rattled off a whole bunch of male classmates' names.

Ask her how she got here?

Fortunately, they all remembered who gave them to them, so they weren't too bad.

Some were exchanged with others, some were gifts given to her as thanks for helping others with their studies, and some were simply given to her out of friendship...

The number of kindergarten students is less than one-tenth of the current number, which has seriously hampered the progress of the community. Now, however, the community is thriving and very comfortable.

I can no longer casually call it a "social cow".

They kneel before her, calling her a social outcast.

I got 100 on the test again today. She brought the paper back for me to sign. I asked her why she signed some papers but not others.

She said, "Oh, those flawed papers, Dad can just sign them."

Look at that art of conversation. It's simply delightful to hear.

Dad said that she did this because she knew Mom was petty, and Dad was magnanimous and didn't mind such a small thing.

The sallow-faced man was banished to the cold palace.

He can't speak.

Tell Sister Wang to take care of him more.
