Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

After arranging all the company's tasks, Chu Yu began packing his luggage, preparing for his business trip.

Zhao Ruoying sat in a chair, watching Chu Yu pack clothes into his suitcase, and said helplessly, "You child, you insist on packing your own luggage. If you don't like Aunt Liu and the others touching your things, I won't let you pack for me no matter what."

"Mom, no need. I'm not a child anymore. I don't need help packing my luggage."

Looking at her son, who is handsome, tall, ambitious, and polite, Zhao Ruoying likes him more and more. But thinking that her son will be gone for so long, she feels very reluctant to part with him.

She also felt sorry for the child, who was working so hard, leaving early and returning late every day. "Xiao Bao, you are still young. You need to take your time building the business. You don't need to work so hard. Your health is the most important thing."

Is this considered working hard? Chu Yu was a little speechless, but still reassured her, "Mom, don't worry, I'm a grown man and I can take care of myself. I won't overwork myself. After I come back from this business trip, I'll make some preparations and the shop will officially open. Then it won't be so busy."

"As long as you know your limits."

"Oh, by the way, put the medicine box in your suitcase later. It contains cold medicine, stomach medicine, motion sickness medicine, and other things, just in case," Zhao Ruoying reminded her.

Even though the medicine can be bought anywhere, the mother feels more at ease bringing it from her own home.

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Mom."

Zhao Ruoying gave him a reproachful look, "You child, you're always so polite to your own mother."

"Also, besides taking care of your health when you're out and about, you also need to be careful. Some factories and production bases are in very remote areas, and there might be robberies and murders going on there..."

The more she talked, the more bizarre it became. Chu Yu quickly stopped her from having wild thoughts, "The probability of robbery and murder is too small. Besides, this business trip includes three departments: purchasing, research and development, and production. There are eight people in total. Even if we encounter a robbery, we are not afraid."

Hearing that there were eight people, Zhao Ruoying felt much more at ease, but then suddenly asked, "Isn't Da Chuan going with you? Isn't he your special assistant?"

"If he doesn't go, the company needs someone to manage it after I leave. Also, the shop isn't finished being renovated yet, and there are a lot of things to confirm before and after the opening."

"Oh, I see. Then let's have a nice meal together, since we won't be able to see you for almost a month."

"OK."

......

Hai Li Lao private room.

Cheng Yuyu glanced at Mingxi, then at the bubbling four-compartment hot pot on the table, and snorted, "You're carrying bags worth hundreds of thousands, and you're treating me to seafood hotpot?"

"Hehe, Brother Chu bought this bag for me." Mingxi glanced at the bag on the shelf next to her and liked it more and more.

"Besides, it's great to catch seafood; it's delicious and won't make you fat."

Cheng Yuyu rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. "Of course I know he bought it for you. How could someone as insignificant as you afford it?"

"Don't look down on me like that. I'm joining the crew tomorrow. I have a feeling I might really become famous this time," Mingxi said seriously.

When work was mentioned, Cheng Yuyu finally stopped rolling her eyes at him and asked, "I remember you were the fourth male lead, right? Do you know who those three were before you?"

"It's not the fourth male lead, it's the third male lead," Mingxi protested. He was filming a drama with two male leads, and he was the bottom in the secondary couple.

Even the bottom has human rights. Both of them are secondary couples, so why should he be the fourth male lead?

"Alright, alright, third male lead, that's enough. Tell me quickly, who are your three competitors? Let me see if they have the potential to become famous."

Mingxi opened her phone, swiped around for a while, and then held it up to Cheng Yuyu's face. "Hey, take a look for yourself. I've never heard of any of these three people. They're about my level of fame, just minor celebrities."

Cheng Yuyu took the phone, glanced at it, and chuckled, "This male lead is quite good-looking. Regardless of how the drama is, he'll probably gain a lot of fans."

Then he clicked his tongue twice, "The group you've joined this time is going to be quite lively."

This left Mingxi completely confused. "What? What's so lively about it?"

Cheng Yuyu pointed at the man on the phone screen and said, "Him, Feng Nan, I know him. These days, everyone in and out of the industry says that dramas with two male leads are the easiest to produce top stars and the easiest to become popular. But that's not really true. There are tons of dramas with two male leads produced every year, but how many have actually become hits?"

"Feng Nan has filmed a lot of dramas with two male leads before, some of which are so explicit they're practically gay, and they're incredibly popular. Filming a drama is like finding a partner for him, but he just can't become famous. Well, you can't say he can't become famous, he's definitely more famous than you."

"Hey! What are you saying!" Even though it was the truth, there was no need to say it so bluntly. Mingxi looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Cheng Yuyu shrugged and continued, "I didn't say anything wrong. Okay, listen to me. Fans of the main and secondary couples in these kinds of dramas are already prone to fighting. With this guy around, if your drama gets any more buzz, it'll be even more lively."

"But it's good to have some excitement, that's how you get more traffic." Cheng Yuyu finished speaking and continued scrolling down, "Hahaha! Why does your CP look like a monkey with a pointy mouth and cheeks? There's no CP feeling between you."

As Cheng Yuyu spoke, he placed his phone next to Mingxi's face, making the difference in their appearances even more obvious.

Mingxi was speechless. After rolling her eyes at him, she simply ignored him and went to eat her hot pot.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, a pair of chopsticks snatched the shrimp paste from their plate. Mingxi glared at them angrily, "Can't you scoop it out yourself? I just let it cool down a bit."

"Haha! You're joining the crew tomorrow, so you're eating quite a bit." Cheng Yuyu continued to take food from Mingxi's plate without any shame.

"I'm not fat. Brother Chu always says I'm too thin and should eat more. Besides, eating meat won't make you fat. I haven't even touched sesame paste," Mingxi retorted.

"Oh my! You've actually started dating him? You keep calling him 'Brother Chu'." Cheng Yuyu teased him a few times.

"By the way, if you're planning to stick with your Brother Chu, remember to let him know before you start creating a CP (couple pairing). Even though it's all fake, some rich people don't care, while others find it disgusting when their people are too close to others."

Mingxi nodded and said, "Yeah, but I won't do anything inappropriate with him. After signing the contract, I'll get the script. My partner and I have a pure love relationship, nothing too intimate."

Cheng Yuyu slapped his forehead. "That's right. With Feng Nan around, he definitely won't give you any exciting plot details. Although everyone online criticizes the explicit content, it always attracts a lot of attention."

"Who cares? Let him cook whatever he wants, just don't mess with me."

"You can't say that. If he really tries to put you down or create hype, you can also use that to gain some traffic..."
