The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 42: Okay

The next day was Sunday, and finally, I got to sleep in until I naturally woke up.

Lu Nanting left the room in a good mood, only to hear Gu Lanxi talking on the phone, her tone unusually fierce:

"That bastard should be sent to jail!"

He was perfectly fine last night.

After she hung up the phone, Lu Nanting hurriedly asked her, "What's wrong?"

Gu Lanxi was fuming:
"Isn't the studio right across from another small company? The owner across the street keeps pouring boiling water on my money tree. It's killed it several times before, and he still won't admit it. Yesterday I went over and got two new trees, and I also installed high-definition pinhole cameras on them. This morning, the studio said they caught it on camera. This time I'm definitely not going to let him get away with it!"

No wonder I finished my physical exam yesterday morning and didn't get back until almost dark.

They really went off to do something big!
Lu Nanting was stunned: "I always thought this was just a joke..."

Gu Lanxi was furious: "This isn't about whether it's a money tree or not, okay? Even if they're just ordinary green plants, they're still mine! Mine, okay?!"

Seeing how she would use all sorts of interjections when she got angry, which was unbelievably cute, Lu Nanting suppressed a laugh and quickly changed his tune: "Who is this boss? How can he be so rude? Let's all curse him out!"

"He's a clown! You don't need to pay him any mind! He's been pulling these dirty tricks time and time again, it's a waste of time to scold him! I'm going to send him to jail!"

Damaging another person's property, if the evidence is conclusive and the amount involved is substantial, will indeed result in a criminal sentence.

but……

"You can't buy a money tree for just a few dozen dollars, right? This isn't enough to get you jail time, is it?"

"Well, you have to consider what kind of money tree it is! The same dress, bought from a street stall and custom-made in France, will they cost the same?!"

Waking up early in the morning and encountering this kind of thing, Gu Lanxi was really furious!
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. To her, anyone who tries to ruin her financial luck is worse than killing her own father! It's a relationship she'd absolutely want to destroy!

Thinking of the greenery his studio and the group had ordered from a landscaping company, for which they only needed to pay a small annual rent, Lu Nanting's voice softened slightly:
"How much did you buy for your money tree babies?"

Seeing his sincere inquiry, Gu Lanxi told him, "I specially invited a feng shui master to bring it back. The money tree cost 3000 yuan, and the feng shui master gave a red envelope of 16888 yuan, which adds up to 19888 yuan. I have receipts for everything. Lawyer Liang will send someone to pick it up later."

Can you get an invoice for hiring a feng shui master?

Lu Nanting admitted that he was not good at business and had really learned a lot from his wife!

“A transaction that is widely recognized by the market and is consensual is naturally legal. Moreover, that gentleman is a legitimate businessman who has registered a feng shui consulting company. We are using official accounts, so please don’t attribute this to feudal superstition.”

When you open a business, who doesn't want good fortune?
Many times, it's better to believe that something is true.

It won't cost much anyway.

If things go wrong because of this, it will be a loss that outweighs the gain.

Lu Nanting was deeply shocked. Before he could even organize his thoughts, Gu Lanxi's phone rang.

It was Attorney Liang who called.

As a fellow Cantonese, Liang Shizhao felt particularly empathetic towards this heinous case, so he decided to handle it personally.

The two began to seriously discuss the lawsuit. Seeing that he couldn't help, Lu Nanting went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

Gu Lanxi got up early and had already eaten. When Aunt Wang saw that he was up, she immediately served him a bowl of seafood porridge.

"It's hot, so I made a cucumber salad to go with the porridge."

Unexpectedly, in addition to the porridge, there was also a small plate of cold dishes.

Lu Nanting thanked her and, while eating, listened attentively to Gu Lanxi's handling of the matter.

This was a completely new experience for him, and he wanted to know how the case would ultimately be decided.

After all, a money tree isn't something that will die instantly if you pour boiling water on it, so obtaining evidence will likely be quite troublesome.

Seeing that he was eating, Gu Lanxi didn't disturb him. After discussing the follow-up with Lawyer Liang, she went to the gym to box.

After she finished her call, drenched in sweat, and came out to rehydrate, the phone rang again.

This time, it was Li Jingxiu who arranged the transaction with her.

However, the funds had already been raised.

Tomorrow is Monday, and the Industry and Commerce Bureau will only be open for business then. Share transactions between shareholders still require going through procedures.

The two agreed to meet at the Industry and Commerce Bureau at nine o'clock the next morning. Gu Lanxi hung up the phone and then called Liang Shizhao. The money tree matter could wait; this matter needed to be dealt with first.

After notifying the lawyer, the studio staff also need to be notified.

When you go out to handle important matters, you're all alone with your lawyer. You can't do all the miscellaneous tasks yourself.

The previous dinner only reached a preliminary agreement; the specifics still need to be finalized in a contract. Her studio has eight people, all of whom are elites and capable of handling any situation.

She had already discussed this matter with her employees beforehand, and even though it was the weekend, they were busy these past two days.

All kinds of materials and information were prepared in great detail.

The boss cashed out 200 million; will he make any big moves next?
Fei Yunxiao and the others were eager to get started, but were a little disappointed when they learned that the boss just wanted to move to a different house.

Gu Lanxi didn't care much about what they thought; she just wanted to push the deal through smoothly.

The transaction wasn't fully completed yet, and she wouldn't tell Gu Yongxin and her daughter, lest something unexpected happen and the transaction had to be postponed, leaving them disappointed.

"Oh right, I'll have the property management send over some cardboard boxes later. We rarely have time today, so let's go upstairs, pack your things, and quietly move them downstairs. We'll move them with my things later."

"Well, people outside think I'm not here. If I call the people from the old house to come and pack my things, they'll know I'm moving, and I might get followed by paparazzi."

Lu Nanting strongly agreed with Gu Lanxi's arrangements.

You don't need to move pots, pans, or other kitchenware; you're only moving personal belongings, so it won't be particularly tiring.

To avoid attracting attention, mixing their luggage together is the best approach.

Gu Lanxi did all sorts of chores when she was young, so she didn't take this kind of thing seriously.

But Lu Nanting didn't intend for her to do heavy work:
"Don't interfere with the moving later, leave it to me. Put the valuables in boxes, is your safe big enough?"

"High-rise buildings have limited load-bearing capacity, and the safes are not large; they were already full long ago."

"I'll put a few more at home later."

"Ah."

The two consulted each other and worked together very efficiently.

Almost all the neighbors in the building have multiple residences and need to move things around from time to time. When the seasons change, the out-of-season clothes also need to be packed and stored, so the property management company always has a lot of cardboard boxes stored up.

Gu Lanxi called the property management directly, and in less than ten minutes, the housekeeper led the staff to bring up the cardboard boxes.

After the property management staff left, the two immediately went to the storage room, found a small cart, and quietly pulled the cardboard box upstairs.

"The security team caught several paparazzi trying to sneak in yesterday, so there shouldn't be many people here today."

It was Sunday, so most people with children had taken their kids out to play, while those without children had mostly gone to work early in the morning, and there weren't many people in the elevator.

"Even though it's daytime, please be careful not to turn on the lights later."

Lu Nanting obediently agreed, pulled the cart down the elevator, and went to open the door first.

He has many personal belongings in the old house. Here, there are only clothes, jewelry, bags, shoes, and other items that he often wears. In addition, there are some documents that are easy to access and his commonly used musical instruments.

The two tidied up in silence, acting like thieves even though they were in their own home.

"No matter what profession you choose, there are advantages and disadvantages. Since you have chosen this profession, don't complain about the inconvenience of life."

Lu Nanting was packing up when he suddenly heard Gu Lanxi comforting him, and couldn't help but smile.
"That's why it's not easy for me to find a wife. I have to treat you well so you don't run away."

This person is always like this; he's talking about serious matters, but somehow he manages to veer off into something unserious!

Gu Lanxi glared at him, then turned around and continued working.

After a long while, she replied to him in a low voice, "Okay, I'll try my best this time."

In the walk-in closet, half of the clothes had been put away, and a dozen or so watch boxes sat on the brown glass cabinet in the middle. Lu Nanting put down the tape in his hand and chuckled.
"Things are different now than before. If you run away again, I'll catch you and bring you back!"

He's long past the age where he needs promises to feel secure.

I will no longer doubt her love for me just because she doesn't say sweet words.

He prefers doing to talking now.
