The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 36 Midnight
Zhang Wei is an independent jewelry designer who runs a well-known studio. Because she is in the rising stage of her career and is very busy, she often works overtime until late at night.

I was just about to leave work when I suddenly received a WeChat message.

Ms. Zhang, I would like to order a custom microphone.

When business comes knocking, there's no reason to refuse, no matter when or where.

Looking at the person who sent the message, Zhang Wei immediately closed the door, turned the air conditioner back on, and returned to her work desk.

If it's urgent, it's not impossible to finish the first draft overnight.

The reason her studio became so popular is because two years ago, she created a set of particularly outstanding red carpet jewelry for Gu Lanxi.

Therefore, Gu Lanxi was her benefactor.

The two have always worked together smoothly. Gu Lanxi's requests are always precise and clear, and she never changes her mind frequently. Zhang Wei is always responsive to requests, and no matter how outrageous the other party's request is, she will treat it as the most important thing.

Although she is a jewelry designer, a microphone is not out of the question.

That's right...

[Mr. Gu, are you looking for a custom-made microphone that works?]

If that's the case, she needs to contact the microphone brand immediately to try and reach a cooperation agreement.

She was just a jewelry designer and did not have the skills to manufacture microphones.

On her first night living under the same roof as Lu Nanting, Gu Lanxi couldn't sleep at all.

Having too much money is a bad thing; when I have insomnia, I want to spend money to find peace of mind.

Gu Lanxi was not surprised at all to receive a reply immediately after sending the message.

Because the speed at which business people respond to messages mostly depends on the client's worth.

As she becomes richer and more powerful, more and more people will be willing to grant her every request.

To be honest, this feeling is actually quite fascinating.

She achieved fame at a young age and easily amassed a large fortune. Anyone else would have likely gone astray long ago, but she is a person with extremely strong self-control and always knows what she wants.

You can think of it as jewelry shaped like a microphone.

Why would she need a jewelry designer if she wanted a custom microphone for stage use? Wouldn't it be better to just contact the microphone brand directly?

Lu Nanting has many custom-made microphones, each with different commemorative significance and superior performance.

She made this only for home use.

One-on-one, whether you want to keep a meter or half a meter apart, it's not like she can't hear you.

I just felt that the stainless steel clothes fork was a bit of an eyesore today.

A handsome man can turn into a goofball if he's not dressed right.

After searching the whole house, all I found was this ugly thing.

He was really wronged.

Zhang Wei understood immediately.

As an ultimate entrepreneur who can immediately bring a tape measure to measure the dimensions of a toilet that is made of solid gold and diamonds for an employer, she is no problem at all with just a microphone decoration!

Yes, that's how this professional jewelry designer positioned their new work.

Because she simply couldn't imagine what use a microphone that couldn't be used could have.

Okay, could you please tell me your requirements in more detail?

Gu Lanxi had been tossing and turning for two hours, and the microphone was vividly present in her mind, making it exceptionally easy to describe:
[Pure gold, completely studded with small diamonds, and the letters "NT" are spelled out with large colored diamonds. Every single diamond, even the smallest ones, must be dazzling enough.]

Considering the weight and worried that Lu Nanting might not be able to carry it, she thoughtfully added:
[Without compromising stability, the weight should be controlled so that it allows for prolonged viewing and handling.]

Okay, Zhang Wei immediately understood her employer's needs.

It must be hollow, but it must be sturdy; it can't be a cheap imitation with just a thin layer of gold.

The entire piece is covered in real diamonds, including colored diamonds that could form two capital letters, and all of them have to be top-quality. This order is frighteningly large. Compared to all of this, the lump of gold in the middle is nothing.

The reason I wanted it to be hollow wasn't to save money, but simply so it wouldn't feel heavy in my hand.

Then we need to carefully manage the weight. Zhang Wei agreed to everything, immediately turned on her computer, and started working on the design drawings.

Gu Lanxi placed the order, casually paid the deposit, and finally fell asleep peacefully.

Next door, Lu Nanting was still there, revising sheet music with his desk lamp on.

He wasn't satisfied with a small part of the song he wrote today, so he had to make some minor adjustments.

Gu Lanxi doesn't like overly perfunctory names, so he needs to think about it carefully.

He was working hard when he suddenly received a call from the property management, saying that his car had a problem and he needed to come downstairs.

Lu Nanting frowned: "Where is the butler?"

The property management has assigned a dedicated housekeeper to each household, providing 24-hour service. However, since there was a problem with the car, the housekeeper can figure out what happened and tell him tomorrow. Why make him go down in the middle of the night?
The property management of this residential community is one of the best in the country, so Lu Nanting frowned when he suddenly did something so inappropriate.

Helpless, the property management could only offer a gentle explanation:
“A homeowner came home late with her boyfriend and saw a pool of red liquid in the garage, which had flowed down from your car. She was so frightened that she screamed and immediately called the police. The police are downstairs now and need you to drive out of the car for inspection.”

"what?"

Lu Nanting was completely stunned. He got up and walked to the door, only to realize that he was currently trending on social media. No matter what happened, it was best not to go to crowded places.

Considering he hadn't done anything illegal or against regulations, he hung up the phone and called his bodyguards to handle the situation.

It's not difficult to just open the car door and figure out what's going on.

The bodyguard and driver lived in the next-door neighborhood and arrived in about ten minutes. Upon inspection, they found it was just an antifreeze leak. The police collected evidence and then left.

The property manager called personally to express his apologies and said he would send it for repairs immediately the next day. However, he had other people on his side and would not allow outsiders to touch his private car, so he refused.

After hanging up the phone, I checked the time and it was 12:30 a.m.

Having lost all motivation to create, I simply shook out the blankets and lay down to sleep.

Because of his line of work, he often travels all over the world and can fall asleep instantly in any hotel. Gu Lanxi made the bed for him and it smelled nice. He doesn't mind sleeping in different beds and fell asleep in no time.

Little did they know that the homeowner who called the police tonight had a minor problem.

She's a live-streaming e-commerce influencer who recently got caught up in some negative news. In an attempt to extricate herself from the scandal, she quickly found herself a boyfriend who is quite influential in the media, hoping to clear her name.

That evening, after dinner, the two agreed to return to the woman's residence, intending to have more intimate contact. However, as soon as they arrived at the basement, they saw a pool of dark red liquid.

The basement wasn't well lit, and the color wasn't really a deep red, nor was it thick enough to suggest anything serious had happened. But the problem lay with the man; he recognized the license plate number.

This person started out as a paparazzi, and because he often got into legal trouble for it, he gradually transitioned into becoming a self-media personality related to the entertainment industry. He naturally remembers the cars that the top celebrities in the industry often use.

Upon seeing this, the internet celebrity's first reaction was to contact the property management to handle the situation.

Because the property management company in their community is practically omnipotent.

Even if you want to have sex in the middle of the night and there's no umbrella at home, the housekeeper will thoughtfully bring it to you.

It was just a minor problem with the car, which I handled with great skill.

But her so-called boyfriend had no intention of doing so.

"What are your current negative news stories compared to this? This is the real big news. If he stays on the trending topics list for a few more days, who will even remember your little stunts?"

The internet celebrity found a boyfriend who didn't quite fit her aesthetic standards, and that was exactly why. Without hesitation, following her boyfriend's instructions, she immediately dialed the police with trembling hands, saying that she suspected someone had murdered and disposed of the body. She was so scared that she was shaking all over. She begged the police to come quickly!
So, at 7:05 a.m., Gu Lanxi stretched and got up, took out her phone and unlocked it, and immediately saw the message "Lu Nanting is suspected of getting involved in a criminal case".

Upon clicking, the license plate number was blurred, and police officers were gathered in a circle around the car, with dark red liquid scattered all over the ground.

The photos are professionally taken and very intriguing.

The hype that had just subsided has instantly surged back up!

If getting married isn't considered a scandal, then if it involves a criminal case, it would absolutely cause a complete collapse of one's reputation.

Gu Lanxi knew at a glance that someone was up to something. She took a deep breath, sat up, went out the door, turned right, and pushed open the door to the second bedroom.

The CEO's catchphrase: It's really too unfair to him.

To be honest, I don't know what he felt wronged about.

Being love-struck is a matter between two people, but he alone has borne the brunt of the blame, which he deserves.
