The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 23 Clearly very rational

Zhang Mingyuan checked the food delivery app and said the crayfish would be here soon.

Having just finished a period of intense work, they have to continue, not knowing when they'll finish. And since everyone was called back at the last minute during the holiday, their mood is naturally not very good.

But firstly, Zhang Mingyuan did a good job with logistics, and secondly, the boss did something a bit exciting today, letting them get the first taste of the drama, so everyone was actually in a pretty good mood.

While waiting for their late-night snack, the group started chatting casually:

"Speaking of which, our boss is really lucky to have married Gu Lanxi. If the news gets out, I don't know how many people will cry their eyes out. Gu Lanxi has the most male fans in the industry, even more than those idols, even though she doesn't do much promotion. It's amazing."

"How should I put it? First, her appearance—she's both innocent and alluring, sweet and sassy, ​​the kind of pretty that any normal person would find attractive. Second, her personality—she's frank and sincere, gentle and tolerant, and sometimes quite adorable, in a very natural way. I never find her pretentious... Why are you all looking at me? Is it strange that I, a single person, have feelings for her?"

"Haha, not surprising! To be honest, if I had to pick my favorite female celebrity in the industry, it would be her."

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't say this in front of the boss again, or he'll dock your bonuses."

"The boss isn't that stingy; he'll just praise our good taste."

The studio staff are generally young, and the atmosphere is usually very good, but such sharp criticism is only dared to be spoken out when the boss is away and it's late at night and they are working overtime.

"She's truly exceptional. I just found out her academic credentials, and honestly, I was blown away. She entered a gifted youth program at fourteen, graduated with a master's degree at twenty, and from the finance department of University A—she's an academic genius among geniuses! And how come she's so low-key? She never markets herself. Several times, alumni recognized her, but instead of buying trending topics, she actually suppressed them. Wow~"

"She probably just enjoys acting! She doesn't seem like a high-profile person. She should be careful not to offend the boss's wife."

Everyone laughed and indeed made a note of it.

Another person couldn't help but exclaim, "She's intelligent, has a good personality, and is good-looking. I have to say, the boss has a really good eye for talent. There's hope for improving the family's genes!"

"Haha, don't say that in front of the boss, or he'll dock your pay! The Lu family has great genes, okay? I've seen their family photo; the men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and they're all outstanding. It might be better to say it's a powerful alliance."

"Tch~ They might even give me a bonus so I can talk more."

Everyone burst into laughter again, feeling much better.

"I just checked the companies associated with Gu Yinghou, and they're absolutely dazzling! I even suspect that she's just doing movies as a side job. Come on, I'll post this in the group, and you can all admire her too."

"Oh my god! Has our young master married into a wealthy family? Slurp, I'm so envious~ Why is my domineering CEO always late? You rascal, why aren't you coming to find me?"

"Hahaha! He's from a wealthy family, okay? A genuine young master from a multi-billion dollar family."

"Hey? There's a trap here, everyone be careful! I just discovered that Ms. Gu's business empire overlaps significantly with Mr. Lu's investment projects. Do you think the fans will start saying they're in a business marriage?"

The moment the question was raised, everyone's minds, which had been saturated with sweet moments, instantly calmed down.

Yes!

Aside from romance dramas about marriage of convenience turning into love, what real-life business marriages are actually sweet?
The CP fans would probably leave cursing as soon as they rushed in.

Lu Nanting made this trip to see how the studio prepared its public relations plan. He wanted to personally oversee it, fearing that they might mislead the public and cause Gu Lanxi to be cyberbullied.

As soon as I arrived, I heard the employees complaining that he was love-obsessed. I wanted to go straight in, but I felt awkward and stood at the door for a while.

Then I heard everyone discussing Gu Lanxi.

Driven by personal motives, I just wanted to hear what everyone had to say.

Unexpectedly, everyone had such a good impression of her, praising her without saying a single bad word about her, and even calling her "boss lady" on their own initiative.

I was feeling quite pleased with myself when the conversation unexpectedly turned to a business marriage.

It's outrageous!
They got together because of love, right?!

Lu Nanting was indignant and was about to go in to explain when Zhang Mingyuan's phone rang.

"Your takeout is here? It's at the door, right? I'll come out and get it."

Late at night, everyone was having a meeting behind closed doors, and since no one at the front desk was there to open the door, the delivery guy couldn't get in.

Zhang Mingyuan was about to call a few people out to get the takeout when he saw everyone looking at the door, so he turned around. A clever fellow, having heard the phone call, immediately got up, opened the door, and went outside to get the crayfish.

Then they saw the culprit who had made them come to work overtime in the middle of the night in fear, standing there with an innocent look on his face, having listened for who knows how long.

He had just taken a shower, changed into a comfortable T-shirt and shorts, was wearing slippers, had a towel draped around his neck, and had his hair half-dry.

Indeed, its fresh and natural appearance is enough to make anyone's heart race.

But now everyone's heart is racing, not because he's handsome.

Good heavens, the cricket owner and his family have been caught red-handed!
This feeling is quite exciting!
Fortunately, the delivery guy couldn't wait for anyone and called again.

The atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Xiao Jiang, Lu Nanting's assistant from Tianjin, immediately came out to greet him with a smile, pulling him by the arm and leading him to the next room.
"Hey Emma, ​​what incredible luck! You're just in time for a late-night snack! Come on, come on! Yuan-ge ordered crayfish, all kinds of flavors!"

Lu Nanting picked up a towel and rubbed his head without saying a word.

Seeing that he went to the next room, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Some went to pick up takeout, while others tidied up the tables.

Immediately afterwards, the largest takeout box was quickly brought in, filling the long dining table to the brim.

After unpacking the boxes and putting on plastic gloves, everyone started eating without saying a word, since they had to work overtime later.

Lu Nanting reserved a spot but didn't intend to make a move.

His assistants were all there and offered to peel it for him, but he quickly stopped them.

"My wife was worried I wouldn't have enough to eat, so she insisted on adding an extra dish. I ate too much tonight, so I really can't eat anymore. You guys eat!"

They just got their marriage certificate, and before the day was even over, he was already talking about his wife all the time.

I'd die if I didn't show off!
Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at him speechlessly.

Xiao Jiang blurted out, expressing everyone's thoughts: "Bro, honestly, you weren't possessed by some love-struck fool, were you?"

It's like he's become a completely different person.

Lu Nanting rolled her eyes dramatically: "I'm afraid I'll get fat and won't look good at the concert, okay? You always say people are love-struck, are you being polite? As a rational and intelligent adult, whether it's dating or marriage, it's a decision made after careful consideration based on a deep understanding of the other person and a highly compatible soul resonance. How can that be confused with being love-struck?"

A rational and intelligent adult, a deep understanding, a highly compatible soul connection, and careful consideration...

This conversation is quite insightful.

People who are drunk will probably say they are not drunk.

His words completely shut everyone up. For a moment, whether single or married, no one wanted to talk to him and they all buried themselves in peeling shrimp.

Tear off the shrimp head, pull out the tender and firm shrimp tail, remove the shrimp vein, and put it in your mouth. It's incredibly delicious.

Lu Nanting pretended not to notice the strange looks from the crowd.

People tend to judge others by their own standards, and they don't really know about his past with Gu Lanxi, nor how deep their feelings were, so he expressed his understanding.

Everyone else was enjoying their late-night snack, but he was the only one playing on his phone.

Zhang Mingyuan, afraid he'd get bored, tried to make conversation: "Did you come in the rain? Why didn't you bring an umbrella?"

Lu's mother changed her name. She heard that Zhang Ruonan was a celebrity, and she was worried that her fans would feel uncomfortable, so she changed it to Zhang Ruolan.

The young master can now proudly be called "Rational Guy".

Haha.
