The sweetest in the entertainment industry

“A girl will get married sooner or later. It’s enough to ensure she has enough to eat and wear. Your nephew just graduated this year and hasn’t found a job yet. Let him work for the company!”

"I heard my cousin has been a fan of celebrities since she was little? Fandom is such a waste of time! I wonder if she'll be able to keep up with her studies?"

“My niece is studying photography. It would be great if she became a photographer! She’s artistic and refined. The company would probably be better off hiring a professional manager for her.”

"Kids' thoughts change eight times a day, how can they be stable? It's just for fun, how many days can they stick to this nine-to-five life? Hehe, let's just wait and see."

……

On the first day of winter vacation, Hua Shiyu went to the company with her parents and was taught by them step by step.

In just two months, a barrage of criticism came like a whirlwind, putting her under immense pressure.

Fortunately, she was involved in two top-tier celebrities. One of them collapsed and went back to sewing, while the other was a love-struck girl who got married at a young age.

Her mental fortitude is exceptionally strong, honed through repeated trials.

As long as a fangirl is determined and puts in the effort, she can excel at anything she does.

In particular, she also has parents who dote on her very much.

Whenever she hears something unpleasant, her parents take turns comforting her.

She can recite many phrases.

“Baby, everything is difficult at the beginning. Mom knows you are not used to it yet, but no one is born knowing everything. Everyone has to learn to master a skill. You are still young and have plenty of time to learn.”

"Daughter, you've finally grown up and know how to be ambitious. Dad is so happy for you. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Your mom and dad have worked so hard all these years so that you can learn from your mistakes. It's okay if you grow up a little slower. As long as you keep moving forward, Dad will always be behind you."

“Don’t you like Gu Lanxi? She’s been learning business management from her father-in-law this month. There’s an entrepreneurs’ summit next week that she’ll be attending. You can come with your dad then, and he’ll personally take you to meet her. Maybe you can even have a chat with her.”

"Didn't manage to snag a copy of Lu Nanting's new album? Don't worry, Mom pulled some strings and secured ten copies in advance. You can listen to one, keep one as a collectible, and even use a few for a raffle. You can also give them away to your friends without any problem."

……

No parent doesn't want their child to be ambitious.

I guess I was just too disappointed to care before.

Once she reforms, her parents will always be her support.

That evening, Hua Shiyu returned home from get off work. As soon as she kicked off her high heels, her aunt greeted her with a smile and told her that her custom-made spring clothes had arrived, as well as Lu Nanting's new album.

"The packaging was extremely sturdy and incredibly heavy. My wife had to send four people to successfully bring them back. They were piled up like a small mountain!"

Hua Shiyu immediately perked up, forgetting to eat, she went upstairs to change her clothes, set up her phone, and started a live unboxing broadcast!
When Hua Shiyu was a die-hard fan of Lu Nanting, her ID was "Hua Qingting". She was a very famous fan site manager. She waited for Lu Nanting at the airport and after confirming that the person he was secretly married to was Gu Lanxi, she struggled for a while and then switched sides to become a CP fan. She changed her name to "Hua Qingting's Little Yuanbao". She was still a very famous fan site manager and even became one of the administrators of the CP super topic.

Whenever the Lanting couple has a large-scale event, Hua Shiyu always goes offline to ensure a stable supply of content.

When she suddenly started a live stream, and the live stream was named "Lu Nanting's 'Ideal in the World' Unboxing Live Stream", fans flocked to her.

There was no other way; Lu Nanting's vinyl album was produced in Shanghai, and the main warehouse was also here. Even if others were in the same city, it would take half a day for the delivery to arrive, but she only needed two hours to get it. Now, she's the only one doing a live unboxing video online.

"I haven't eaten yet, so let's not waste time. To get straight to the point, see these two stacks next to me? They're all from that 'love-obsessed' new album. I'll open one first and show you what's inside. I'll be doing a giveaway on Weibo later. Whether you're a CP fan or a solo fan, good things come in pairs. I'll be drawing two people to each receive one. Just to clarify, I will strictly check the qualifications. You must be a genuine fan. Anyone pretending to be a hater or a toxic solo stan will be disqualified and a new draw will be held."

After saying that, regardless of how noisy the live broadcast room was, he took the small scissors handed to him by the aunt, put a set in front of him, and carefully opened the outermost cardboard box.

The phone was placed low, and Hua Shiyu was sitting on the carpet, so her face was not visible.

In the center of the shot is a cardboard box in front of her, with another stack on each side of her.

That display of wealth drew a flurry of comments from the "rich lady" in the live stream chat.

Until she opened the packaging box and took out a bright red, beautifully packaged plastic-sealed gift box.

"Before we open the box, let's weigh it first. Auntie, bring the scale over!"

Knowing that their young lady had been very tired throughout the winter break, everyone in the family was very accommodating to her every request. Especially for something as exciting as opening the box, with the guidance of the madam, the housekeeper had already prepared everything that might be needed.

As soon as Hua Shiyu opened her mouth, a scale was placed in front of her.

Put the album up there.

"With plastic seal, exactly 4400 grams, is that auspicious? Oh, eight jin and eight liang, also auspicious. Very good, this is very Xibao."

Hua Shiyu truly lives up to her reputation as a die-hard fan who has thoroughly studied this couple; she can often guess what they're thinking.

Even the design decision-maker can be guessed.

"After removing the plastic seal, we can see that the orange-red satin gift box with gold foil stamping is printed with a dragon and phoenix symbolizing good fortune. True couples are so sweet, they even boldly printed the character '囍' (double happiness) on it."

"The box was big, heavy, and square. When you opened the lid, there was a large red plastic protective panel on top. When you picked it up and let the light shine through, you could see the two people's autographs and the album title, 'Human Ideal.'"

Hua Shiyu carefully peeled back layer after layer.

"Underneath the protective panel is a golden envelope. Inside, there are three sheets of letter paper printed with auspicious patterns. The letter paper smells delicious..." No matter how much the live streamers urged her, Hua Shiyu looked at the letter paper several times before turning it over and bringing it close to the camera.

"Although they are printed, the letters are handwritten. I believe everyone is familiar with their handwriting. There are two letters in total, one written by each of them. Please take a screenshot. I'll read them aloud to you to make sure the screenshots are clear."

【friend:
Show Xin'an.

I am Gu Lanxi.

Life is like the four seasons, each with its own beauty.

We met both on and off screen, witnessing each other's growth and transformation.

Now, I have entered a new stage of my life and started my own family.

This happiness stems from love and responsibility, as well as from reverence and appreciation for life.

I know that many of you once placed your youthful passion and aspirations in me, and I cherish this friendship immensely.

But please believe that true love is never about looking up to or following, but about illuminating each other and blossoming in your own way.

May you bravely pursue happiness, but not blindly.

Happiness comes in many forms; it might be an academic breakthrough, a career achievement, or even just a simple meal in the ordinary course of life. It shouldn't be defined by others' paths, nor should it be compared to others. What's important is maintaining a clear mind and an independent spirit on the journey towards what you love—loving those who deserve love, doing what's worth doing, and never betraying your own sincerity.

May you also focus on growth and become better versions of yourselves.

Youth is fleeting and precious, like morning dew. Rather than wasting time gazing at the lives of others, cultivate your own world. Read books to enrich your mind; strive to let your dreams take root; experience the vastness of the world and the profundity of life. When you shine brightly in your respective fields, that confidence and composure will be the most solid foundation of your life.

Please remember, I will always be your friend, an ordinary person who, like you, stumbles and falls while learning to love and be loved.

In the days to come, let us continue to treat each other with kindness and strive together.

I will always remember the strength you have given me; and my greatest hope is to see you all live your own wonderful lives.

Though words are few, feelings are deep; I only wish that you and I—will live up to the times and remain true to our original aspirations.

Gu Lanxi's letter was very long and sincere.

Lu Nanting's letter was very short:

【friend:
Show Xin'an.

Thank you for being there for me all this way.

Not good with words, I'll just say a few simple words.

Love is wonderful, but don't be blind to it.

First, understand your own life before you try to love others.

Career, studies, and dreams—these are the things that truly give you a foothold.

Don't waste your time on meaningless idol worship; instead, strive, forge ahead, and become someone others look up to.

I'm fine, but you can be better than me.

Don't be a fan, be the protagonist.

The journey through life is long, but we'll meet at the summit.

"Although the wording is different, the central idea is the same: don't blindly follow celebrities, but strive to become a better version of yourself."

Speaking of this, Hua Shiyu was deeply moved, but there were many things she couldn't tell outsiders.

After reading the letter, she sighed deeply and said only one sentence: "I hope everyone will think carefully tonight about where they can improve, and it would be best to make a plan and work hard to do it little by little."

He said no more after that.

Remove the envelope; underneath is a flat, gold-colored cardboard box. The box holds the gift box in place, with a small red ribbon on each side. Hold one side in each hand and lift gently to take it up.

"The box is heavy. Let's weigh it, 1314 grams. Wow, as expected of our dog food couple, they've really gone all out with their dog food! Come on, let's see what's inside."

After saying that, he gripped the lid with both hands and carefully lifted it up. It took him quite a while to open it.

Then, on the far left, there was a thick stack of photos in a bright red paper bag tied with a red ribbon that read "Happy Wedding".

Not only her fans in the live stream, but Hua Shiyu herself also felt lighter.

Because the Hua family and the Lu family were not close, the Hua family was not invited to the wedding.

Hua Shiyu had been curious about the wedding venue for a long time.

I never expected there would be photos in the album!! (End of Chapter)
