The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 472 Recruitment
Gu Lanxi sat for most of the night until her buttocks were numb and her hands ached from playing games. Seeing that dawn was approaching, she simply borrowed a white waxwood stick from the gatekeeper and began to practice her stick skills to her heart's content in the yard.

While others get addicted to games, she figured out the system and memorized all the data, so she didn't find playing games very interesting.

Compared to playing video games, practicing martial arts is tedious, boring, and arduous. To see results, you can't just grit your teeth and persevere for a short period of time.

However, practicing martial arts year after year can result in a beautiful physique, powerful combat strength, and a robust body. At the very least, it can regulate one's emotions. Playing games, on the other hand, only brings a moment of happiness while playing, and leaves one feeling empty afterward.

So she practiced diligently for eighteen years without ever getting tired of it. When playing games, she would get bored after just one night without Lu Nanting by her side.

Ni Bingyan returned with her crew after filming the establishing shots. It was just dawn, no more than 6:30 a.m.

He strode into the courtyard and saw her standing there, covered in sweat, having put away her stick. He immediately smiled and asked, "How did you feel last night?"

Ni Bingyan is a well-known "rich and beautiful woman" in the entertainment industry. She was stunningly beautiful when she was young, and now that she is in her thirties, she is even more charming and beautiful, making it hard to look away.

Compared to her, Gu Lanxi was much more naive.

But Gu Lanxi has a unique temperament and a distinctive sense of intelligence, which makes her beautiful in a different way.

Seeing the two of them talking in the courtyard, passersby couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Gu Lanxi was used to being on set, surrounded by a bunch of people all the time, and she was used to ignoring the stares of others. She just turned to look at Ni Bingyan and sighed softly, "I'm alright. I'm past my sleepiness now. Do you think I'm doing okay?"

Gu Lanxi kept her face bare and didn't even apply a face mask last night, only occasionally spraying on a moisturizing spray.

Ni Bingyan leaned closer to take a closer look and saw that her eye sockets were dark and her blood vessels were very obvious. She then touched her hair and nodded.

Niu Lili brought over a towel to wipe her sweat, and Ni Bingyan took it and handed it to her, not forgetting to give her a few words of advice:
"Just wipe your sweat, don't take a shower or wash your hair. Your hair looks like it's been up all night, which is just right."

"Won't it be too oily?"

Gu Lanxi was worried that she wouldn't look good on camera.

"Don't worry, we have a stylist. Is your undershirt wet? Go back to your room and change quickly, don't catch a cold."

Gu Lanxi sighed and nodded in agreement.

"I don't have a good appetite after staying up all night, but I don't know when lunch will be served, so I must eat a big breakfast."

After saying that, Ni Bingyan took out her phone and called home. While waiting to dial, she couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"I promised the kids last night that I would wake them up this morning, and I can't break my promise."

Ni Bingyan is often away filming and not at home, but she maintains close contact with her children in other ways.

This kind of interaction is great.

There are many things in the world that are beyond human control.

For example, couples in love showing off their affection, or new mothers showing off their babies...

Gu Lanxi had met Ni Bingyan's twins before, and had even bought gifts for the children last year, including her taciturn adopted son; everyone received a gift.

Gu Lanxi politely praised the child a few times, then, glancing at the time, she had a sudden inspiration and began to imitate him.

After changing clothes and having breakfast, I noticed it was almost 7:30, so I immediately called Lu Nanting to request a wake-up call.

As it turned out, Lu Nanting had already gotten up, made breakfast, and was eating.

Don't be fooled by his tendency to act cute and charming in front of his wife. In reality, he is a very self-disciplined and hardworking person with an incredibly strong inner strength.

He has something to do today, so he won't be sleeping in.

Lu Nanting was very happy to receive the call and carefully told her about his breakfast:
One sweet potato, half an ear of corn, two eggs, a small bowl of oatmeal mixed with yogurt, and a carton of fresh milk prepared for the journey.

He's going to dance practice today, which will be very physically demanding, so he's eating a lot.

After saying that, he didn't forget to send her a photo to prove that what he said was true.

With his wife away, Lu Nanting lived a good life, but he clearly took the easiest route possible.

Unlike Gu Lanxi, who would fry an egg into a heart shape when he was at home, he always put a lot of thought into cooking.

Gu Lanxi also described her breakfast and even sent a carefully taken picture that looked delicious.

Last night, the base canteen hosted a welcome banquet for the film crew, and Gu Lanxi ate there. Starting today, the crew's meals will be taken care of by the crew's logistics department, and Aunt Wang can start cooking special meals for her.

In crowded places, it's hard to find a stove in a large kitchen. In Aunt Wang's luggage, there is an induction cooker, as well as woks, steamers, and other kitchen utensils.

Aunt Wang made her some wontons in the morning. Once the steamer rack is removed, you can start cooking.

There weren't any extras, so it was made specifically for her, which was quite convenient.

The minced meat was kneaded until it became elastic, wrapped in paper-thin wrappers, cooked, and topped with dried shrimp, seaweed, and a few chopped green onions. It tasted almost exactly like home, and even had a subtle wheat flavor due to the different type of flour here. But looking at the photos Lu Nanting sent, Gu Lanxi still felt homesick.

In the past, when I went out, I just wanted to go home; I missed the house, just like a stray dog ​​that had been out wandering around and started to miss its kennel.

But now it's because of that person.

Lu Nanting wanted to video chat with her to see what she looked like after staying up all night, but Gu Lanxi refused to let him see.

You'll be able to see it when it's released. Want to see it now? Are you trying to save on movie ticket money?

[Your Majesty, I am innocent! How could I be such a stingy person?]

That's hard to say.

It's snowing outside.

Wear warm clothes so you don't catch a cold.

[Out of consideration for your concern for me, Lu Dou'e withdrew one of her grievances.]

Lu Nanting was being his usual witty banter, and Gu Lanxi narrowly avoided choking!

But to be honest, those negative feelings instantly melted away, and I felt happy all over again.

Aunt Wang hurried over to check on the situation.

Gu Lanxi waved her hand, quickly finished her breakfast, hung up the phone, and Niu Lili came to pick her up.

The film set is ready; she should go to the dressing room to prepare.

While she was busy, Lu Nanting was not idle either.

Xiao Jiang came to pick him up, bringing bad news: his assistant, Xiao Xu, had resigned and was planning to go back to his hometown to raise chickens.

Lu Nanting has three assistants: Xiao Jiang is clever and capable, Xiao Chen is honest and loyal, and Xiao Xu, as his personal assistant, is responsible for carrying his bags and taking care of Lu Nanting's daily life. She has always been quite attentive.

Lu Nanting was a little surprised by his sudden resignation.

"Just to go back to your hometown and raise chickens?"

Young people stay in big cities to work hard, and few are willing to return to their hometowns.

The salary offered by Lu Nanting is top-tier in the industry, and the benefits are excellent, so there's no reason for me to switch jobs.

I couldn't help but ask a few questions.

“His father fell before the New Year and couldn’t do heavy work after he recovered. There are too many chickens at home and he can’t manage them all. His parents are getting old, so it’s understandable that they don’t travel far.”

Lu Nanting nodded.

Given this situation, he decided not to keep anyone.

"After the rehearsal this afternoon, remember to have him come see me to see if he has any difficulties at home, and help him out if you can."

Lu Nanting has always been generous and treats those around him very well; otherwise, Xiao Jiang and the others wouldn't have followed them so devotedly.

Hearing him say that touched me deeply. I nodded with an "Mmm," and then he went on to talk about Gu Lanxi's situation:

"Xiao Zhuang from the big boss's side has been transferred to a business brokerage position. Sister Mei is picking a new personal assistant for her. Should we let her choose one too?"

Lu Nanting glanced at him and refused directly: "No need, let Brother Yuan choose."

Although Gu Lanxi pays his salary, the personnel department is separate.

Zhang Mingyuan's power has not diminished in the slightest compared to before.

Xiao Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although their salaries were not affected after the boss got married, and their benefits were even better than before, it makes a big difference whether they can make their own decisions.

Lu Nanting glanced at him but didn't say anything more.

With more people, there are more thoughts and ideas, which is normal.

He only had one requirement for his subordinates: each should do their job well. As long as they could do their jobs well, he wouldn't interfere with what they thought or what hobbies they had in private.

What kind of new assistant do you want?
Lin Yi's little bear and Ni Bingyan's Duanmu Li are both very distinctive people.

Zhuang Xiaotong and Niu Lili, who are by Xi Bao's side, are respectively capable and clever and climb the ranks, and honest and conscientious and continue to work.

Lu Dingliu has at least three assistants working in shifts; he wouldn't be comfortable without any of them.
