The sweetest in the entertainment industry

"Sister Xi, here's your coat."

The new work assistant is named Nanzhi. She is a gentle, meticulous, and quiet recent graduate who majored in cultural industry management at a media university. Everyone calls her Zhizhi.

Her job duties were similar to Zhuang Xiaotong's, including managing the itinerary, carrying work materials (such as scripts, contracts, and event schedules), liaising with venue staff, and compiling itinerary-related data.

Niu Lili's educational background limited her ability, despite her diligence. She continued to work as Gu Lanxi's personal assistant.

Zhizhi had only been there a few days, and in order to get along well with Niu Lili, she always helped her carry things and do chores. Niu Lili told her several times that she didn't need to do that, but it didn't work, so she could only let her do as she pleased.

The issue of how to address someone is quite complicated.

When the couple is together, their staff will tacitly call them "Big Boss" and "Boss." When they are apart, they are called "Teacher Lu" and "Teacher Gu" in public, while in private, the older staff will call them "Nanting" and "Lanxi," and the younger staff will call them "Brother Ting" and "Sister Xi."

Even though they were the youngest of everyone.

Calling someone "brother" or "sister" is just a matter of attitude.

Gu Lanxi once complained to Lu Nanting in private that the entertainment industry was hierarchical and comparable to the mafia, which made Lu Nanting laugh out loud.

After the final roadshow of the night, Gu Lanxi and her group did not linger in the city, but instead prepared to catch a red-eye flight back to Hengdian.

Because Gu Lanxi has a performance tomorrow afternoon.

To promote her new movie, she was delayed for a whole week, which was agreed upon in the contract, but she still felt a little embarrassed.

After all, with a crew of several hundred people, it's not easy to coordinate things when the lead actress isn't there.

So she will stay on set until the end of the month to do her job well.

In early May, even late at night, the temperature in this northern city was still not very high.

Seeing Zhizhi hand over the shirt, Gu Lanxi took off her bag and handed it to Niu Lili.

After taking the long-sleeved shirt from Zhizhi and putting it on, then putting the bag back on, he asked Lili:

"Lili, where is my doll?"

Niu Lili opened her ever-present backpack, took out an adorable plush toy, and stuffed it into her hand: "Here it is!"

Gu Lanxi took it and held it in her arms. The fatigue on her face immediately lessened, and she looked more peaceful.

They had each made a 52-centimeter-tall doll based on the other, but found it inconvenient to carry when traveling. So they made a 21-centimeter-tall doll of themselves and gave it to each other. That way, when they were in a hurry, they could hold it in their arms. And since it was made by the other person, it felt different.

Whether it's for the sake of a persona or out of genuine affection, there are many men and women in the fandom who love dolls.

Zhizhi doesn't follow celebrities. She didn't know much about Gu Lanxi before, but knowing that she was young, she thought it was normal for her to like these things.

Zhizhi has only been here for a short time.

After Mei Jie's interview, four people were selected. After two months of paid training, the best of the best were chosen. One was named Wang Hai, who went to Lu Nanting's side, and the other came to Gu Lanxi's side, which is Nanzhi.

She didn't know the story behind the doll; she just thought it was cute and couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Gu Lanxi felt uncomfortable under her gaze, so she simply pulled open her shirt and wrapped the rag doll inside.

Nanzhi was so embarrassed that she quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer.

It wasn't until she boarded the plane that the stylist Xiao Song, who was sitting next to her, whispered to her, "Don't stare at the boss's doll. Teacher Lu made it for her by hand. No one is allowed to touch it except Lili, who is entrusted to her for safekeeping."

Nanzhi was stunned! She quickly covered her mouth and leaned over to ask:
"Did Teacher Lu make this himself?" After she joined the company, she had met Lu Nanting a few times, and her impression of him was still that of a cool and aloof guy, the kind of trendy man who would burst into rap at the drop of a hat, and who exuded an arrogant and unruly air.

Does this kind of person secretly make rag dolls by hand?
"How could it be fake? The kapok stuffing inside the doll was brought back from our magazine shoot in Hainan last month. We left it in the yard to dry for a long time, and the cotton burst open, revealing many small, black seeds inside. They picked them out one by one by hand. Otherwise, given our boss's personality, why would he carry around a rag doll?"

Zhizhi nodded in agreement.

During the training, there was a particularly important course specifically designed for couples.

The thing Nan Zhi remembers most clearly is that both bosses are love-struck.

If the doll was made by Lu Nanting himself, and Gu Lanxi carried it with her, then it would make sense.

Just as Sister Song said, Gu Lanxi appears gentle and quiet, but in fact, she is more crazy than anyone else at heart. She is simply a fighter jet among women. No matter how you look at it, this kind of person has nothing to do with a soft rag doll.

But—"Would you be unhappy even to take a look?"

Seeing her sneak up like a thief, speaking in a voice softer than a mosquito's buzz, Xiao Song almost burst out laughing!

Having been by Gu Lanxi's side for a long time, she knew a lot about the couple's gossip, which she couldn't tell anyone, but everyone in the studio knew about it. Now that a new person had finally arrived, she was happy to share it!

"Last year, there was a dinner party between the two studios. Everyone was clamoring for Teacher Lu to sing a song. As a result, our boss immediately gave out red envelopes, 800 yuan each, and told everyone not to make a fuss. Think about it."

Did I know this person was extremely possessive, to this extent?
Nanzhi silently counted how many people were in the two studios and couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had been selected.

I knew the young couple had good benefits here, but I never imagined they had extra income on the side in addition to what's publicly known!
For her, who had just graduated, it was a dream job!

“There’s another pair at home in Hengdian, but they’re too big to carry around, so we made this one. Their dolls each have their own special dressing room, which is huge. When the clothes and accessories were shipped back, they were packed in boxes, filling the entire truck. I even helped Aunt Chen pack them out.”

To help Nanzhi integrate into the group, Xiao Song briefly shared some of the things he could say with her.

Nanzhi nodded repeatedly, listening intently but relying entirely on her memory to retain the information; she dared not write it down.

Meanwhile, Wang Hai was also listening to Xiao Jiang explain these things, his ears perked up, afraid of misunderstanding anything.

"You can make any other mistakes, but there's one thing: if you upset the big boss, no one can save you."

The long-delayed brand live-stream meet-and-greet was finally held today, and the group is currently driving from Shanghai to Hengdian.

The big boss is coming back tonight; he can't stay in Shanghai any longer.

Speaking of Wang Hai, Lu Nanting initially told Zhang Mingyuan to choose one for him, but Zhang Mingyuan didn't stand on ceremony at all and directly asked Mei Xue to find one for him as well.

It has to be said that the couple has a good relationship, and their two agents also have a good relationship. When something happens, the two studios divide the work and cooperate, which often makes things much easier than before.

Compared to Nan Zhi's quiet and reserved nature, Wang Hai is much more smooth and outgoing.

When Xiao Song was talking, Nan Zhi just listened quietly, no matter how surprised she was, she didn't say anything, she just stared at her with her big, bright eyes. Wang Hai was different, he kept saying "Holy crap" when he heard Xiao Jiang talk about those things.

"I'm just telling you this. If word gets out that you're betraying your own people, losing your job will be the least of your worries. If you want to stay in this industry, it won't be that easy."

Wang Hai was only surprised that his boss had two faces, but he didn't dare to do such a thing. Seeing Xiao Jiang frown, he could only repeatedly assure her that he had signed a privacy agreement and knew all this.

Xiao Jiang nodded in satisfaction and leaned back in her seat to doze off.

Normally, he would ride in the same car as Lu Nanting, but today Lu Nanting's car was full, so he had to sit with Xiao Wang. (End of Chapter)
