The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 404 Masculinity
Before the Lunar New Year, the most eye-catching event in the entertainment industry was undoubtedly the wedding of the Lanting couple.

However, the couple did an excellent job of keeping it a secret. Everyone involved in the preparations signed extremely strict confidentiality agreements, and all their relatives and friends had been informed in advance that they dared not say a word that should not be said.

For fans to get any news is practically impossible!
With the official ceremony just days away, experts from all walks of life are showing off their skills, digging deep into every detail, and netizens are discussing it endlessly every day.

So far, all that is known is that this was a purely Chinese-style wedding.

520 wedding invitations were sent out, all handwritten by Lu Nanting himself, with neat and upright calligraphy that showed considerable skill.

On the day of the ceremony, all guests will be required to wear Hanfu (traditional Han clothing).

No media were invited to the wedding.

Besides that, who are the guests, what is the wedding ceremony like, where will it be held, what will the wedding rings look like...?

Even the well-informed fans were completely unaware.

In this situation, the exposure of Gu Lanxi's wedding private jet caused an instant uproar among netizens!
The more the two tried to suppress the hype, the more stubbornly the hype climbed upwards.

On the first day they trended on social media, the two still wanted to give it their all, but after three consecutive days on the trending list, they had no choice but to give up.

At first, some people saw the six planes and went crazy, flying over specifically to see them.

Later, someone had a sudden idea and asked local fans if they had seen any trucks or vans lining up to transport things to the airport that day.

Upon inquiring, it turned out that there was a guy named Xiao Qingting who ran a fast food restaurant next to the passageway, and truck drivers often came to eat there.

That day, a convoy of trucks arrived at their house. Each truck had a red ribbon tied to its top and was covered with a tarpaulin.

When a shop employee asked a question, the driver only said that he was transporting dowry, and that the family was particular about such things, so he didn't say anything more.

But the convoy has already been photographed, and the license plate number is also available. Finding more information would be a piece of cake!
Then, netizens managed to follow the convoy's route and find Gu Lanxi's relative's furniture factory. Finally, they managed to strike up a conversation with the honest workers in the factory.

Even if the couple wanted to keep it a secret, they couldn't be that meticulous. They even had to keep quiet about the factory that produced one of the dowry items, which had hundreds of employees.

That netizen was also clever; they didn't mention Gu Lanxi at all, and only asked a few questions related to the factory's business:

"Master, I heard from a friend that your factory makes excellent dowry furniture. My aunt is getting married and we're having trouble finding a reliable source manufacturer. I've called several times, but they all say their production capacity is full. I really don't want to give up, so I decided to come here in person. I wonder if you could let me meet one of your sales representatives and talk to them in person?"

Upon hearing this, the foreman immediately became happy and led him into the factory.

After finishing making furniture for Gu Lanxi, the factory became quiet again. He was naturally happy that the workers could earn more bonuses if they took on more orders.

"Hey! You've come to the right place! Our materials are top-notch and genuine; we never use inferior materials. Our mortise and tenon joints and carving techniques, passed down from our ancestors, are incredibly refined. We also have our own designers who can create exclusive custom designs, resulting in unique and high-quality products! It's just a pity that our boss is getting old and old-fashioned; he doesn't know how to do online marketing..."

At this point, the foreman realized he had let something slip and, fearing the other person might think business was bad, quickly explained:
"However, we don't need marketing. We've always focused on the high-end market, and our customers are like you, who come through referrals from regular customers. We're already very busy just doing business with our regular customers."

"Looks like there really is limited production capacity; they weren't lying to me!"

The master felt that being a person was so difficult!

Fearing he might think the factory couldn't handle the orders, I had to explain again: "It's been alright lately, not too busy. The other day when you called and said you were busy, it was because our boss's niece was getting married, and we were rushing to make her dowry. Because of that, our factory hasn't taken any outside orders for almost half a year."

The boss, surnamed Gu, had his niece get married, and it had been about half a year...

The man, barely suppressing his excitement, asked with a naive and innocent expression, "If you're making furniture for the boss's niece, how do you get your wages?"

"These pieces of furniture were a gift from the boss to her niece, so the boss naturally pays her wages! Alright, we're here, let's go!"

……

When Gu Lanxi saw the video, she was completely speechless.

The next day, the man called and said that the factory was overwhelmed with orders and couldn't keep up with the demand. He asked if she could talk to her fans and tell them not to make impulsive purchases.

It turns out that netizens were convinced that the boss was a person of high moral character and that the factory's products were of high quality because her uncle never tried to ride on her fame and even dared to give her the furniture he made as part of her dowry. This led to a surge of orders.

"On the bright side, once their curiosity is satisfied to a certain extent, they won't be so eager to rush to the wedding venue."

While having lunch, Lu Nanting comforted Gu Lanxi in this way.

The house is to be decorated as a wedding room, so Lu Nanting has moved back to the old house to live. Gu Lanxi can only move back to the large flat in Bihu Tiandi for the next few days.

The two of them frequently video chat, and their elders can't do anything about it.

It's a good thing that the young couple is so affectionate.

Besides, there was no video in ancient times. They only said that we couldn't meet in person, but they didn't say that we couldn't video chat.

"I feel like all those CP fans could become criminal investigators. They'd be really good at detective work."

Back in Beijing, the two began to follow the proper etiquette for the six rites. To ensure she was in good condition for the formal ceremony, she was eating and sleeping well every day and taking good care of herself. Lu Nanting had also basically stopped working and was sleeping in until he naturally woke up every day.

It's funny, these two people are usually so busy that they don't even have time to spare, but when they finally have some free time, they can't meet in person and can only chat via video.

In order to have more private conversations during video calls, Lu Nanting has been eating alone these past few days. His family laughs at him, but he doesn't care.

"That's not the fans' fault. If you showed off more often, they wouldn't be thinking about you all the time."

"It's alright, it's already been quite high-profile."

"Count for yourself, it's been almost three months since filming wrapped up in October, how many times have you actually worked?"

"Didn't you announce several endorsements in November? Besides the couple's variety show, I even filled in for you. Oh, and didn't I give a speech at my alma mater?"

"Can that even be considered? How many people were there at the scene? Almost no one online is reporting it."

"My fans even came to see me twice?"

"That can all be counted in the revenue?"

"Okay," Gu Lanxi shrugged. "Work is work, and life is life. I can't just give up my life for work! If I were working non-stop like you all day long, how could I possibly find so much time to accompany you on your travels?"

Although she hasn't been working, she's been trending on social media quite a bit over the past three months.

"That's true."

"Humph~"

Both of them have been taking good care of themselves lately; their skin is great, and their blood is flowing freely. Just looking at each other through the video, you can feel the heat between them.

Gu Lanxi simply hummed in response, only to find him staring intently at her, leaving her speechless.

"Brother, your food is cold."

"The sight is so beautiful, I'm already full."

"It's good to be a little thinner. When we get married, I'll give you a princess carry."

Lu Nanting immediately picked up the bowl: "Then I'll quickly get fat, as fat as a pig."

"You know, I'm probably a looks-obsessed person."

"Then I'll quickly get fat and become a handsome pig."

"Hmm, you can't stand pigs, can you? Then I'll make you my 'precious darling'."

"Isn't that a word used to describe girls? Besides, with a pearl as big as me, how big do you think your hands are!"

Gu Lanxi teased him seriously: "It's not that absolute. Besides, maybe because I haven't been in yin-yang balance lately, I have an excess of male hormones, and I'm a bit too masculine. I find everyone delicate."

Lu Nanting's face turned bright red instantly, and after a long while, he finally managed to say, "Woman, don't play with fire."

Gu Lanxi burst out laughing and knocked her phone over!
Every year, many readers tell me that they love reading the musings I write when I'm bored, saying they're even better than novels (although they're a bit poignant, they also make me inexplicably happy).

To make it easier for these people to read the book a second time, I specially compiled the author's notes from each book into a book called "Author's Notes Collection".

I checked today, and it's almost 30 words.

I really have a very clear understanding of my own desire to share.

I don't know if other platforms can see this. If you can't, you can come to Qidian and click on my author homepage.

Completely free, watch as much as you like.

Today, a friend gifted me two lotus flowers, one fresh lotus root, and several lotus pods, and I also got to taste the tender lotus seeds.

It's so sweet.

Should I stew pig's trotters or bones tomorrow?
Pig's trotters are expensive, bones are cheap; pig's trotters are high in fat, and the meat on the bones is tough...

How else can lotus root be eaten?
Lately, I've been wanting to hear some sweet words from him. Whenever he's not home, I frantically send him messages to flirt with him, then update my WeChat Moments non-stop, and we chat abruptly, but I just ignore him.

When I got home that night, I felt like my eyes were glowing green, like a wolf's.

Haha, this is so much fun!

Good night and sweet dreams.
