The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 501 The whole story
Gu Lanxi has been in the entertainment industry for quite some time, and with her large business, she's practically a frequent flyer when she gets busy.

Over the years, she has been through a lot at the airport, and has encountered all sorts of dramatic incidents.

But this is the first time that a top-tier actress has come to pick someone up at the airport without even saying hello.

He broke down and cried in her arms as soon as they met.

You could say she's stupid, but sometimes she's as clever as a monkey; you could say she's smart, but sometimes she does stupid things!

Female celebrities, apart from having to appear together in public, must carefully weigh the pros and cons when taking photos together in private, for fear of being outshone and causing their commercial value to decrease.

This guy, on the other hand, came to her in public and forced himself to be in the same frame with her, and even cried so hard that his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Although she came out through the VIP channel and wasn't surrounded by people, there were still quite a few people carrying long lenses and cameras who hid in the distance to take pictures of her.

Are you trying to give up on your career by making things like this?

Because of the previous incident where she was mobbed at the airport, Gu Lanxi now tries to minimize her time spent at the airport when she flies. So, in order to pick her up as soon as possible, the driver had already come to wait.

Realizing something was wrong, the moment Chen Lei hugged her, Gu Lanxi immediately took off her deep-set fisherman's hat, which she had specially made to prevent being photographed, and put it on Chen Lei's head.

As it turned out, this guy's head was a size bigger than hers, and he had a high ponytail, so she couldn't get the hat down!

The scene was so comical that Chen Lei's wailing stopped for a moment.

Finally, he silently took his hair down, barely managed to put his hat on, and put on his mask before following Gu Lanxi and striding towards the car.

As she walked, thinking of Gu Lanxi, her first thought was to help her protect herself from being secretly photographed, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Gu Lanxi sighed softly, asked nothing, took her hand, and almost ran to open the car door and push her inside.

After getting in the car, instead of scolding her, he calmly instructed Nanzhi: "Notify Sister Mei! Prepare for crisis public relations!"

He then yanked the seatbelt over, fastened it for Chen Lei, and then slapped her arm angrily.

"Have your men follow them! Get out of here now!"

Chen Lei's eyes were still brimming with tears. Seeing how fierce she was, she immediately shut up: "I...I'll go with you. Just let...let them go back on their own..."

They've been framed.

Gu Lanxi ignored her and only told the driver to drive faster.

The two cars left the airport one after the other and quickly got on the highway. Gu Lanxi still ignored her and took out her phone to stare at the trending topics list.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the hashtags #ChenLeiBreaksDownCryingAtAirport# and #GuLanxiChenLei# climbed to the top of the trending topics list at lightning speed.

Ten minutes later, all related topics could no longer be found online. Sister Mei called to say that they had been deleted from the entire internet. Only then did she smile and look at Chen Lei, asking her softly:
"Tell me, what happened? Who arranged for this trending topic?"

Chen Lei's eyes were swollen from crying. She looked no different from usual, but even a fool could tell she was angry. Not daring to lie, she immediately blurted out the whole story:
"Didn't I call you on Friday night? My agent said she arranged for me to meet a producer for dinner on a yacht. I thought it was just a night cruise on the Huangpu River, nothing serious, so I went with her. But when we got there, what I saw wasn't a yacht, but a huge cruise ship heading out to sea. I was too scared to get on, so I called you, pretending we had an appointment, and then used that as an excuse to have a huge argument with my agent..."

As Chen Lei spoke, she began to wipe away tears again.

Her manager was domineering and somewhat profit-driven, and didn't really consider her feelings when doing things, but she was extremely capable. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken her manager with her when she switched agencies.

“I thought she was trying to harm me, so I left alone after the argument. I didn’t expect that she actually made plans with someone, and even though I didn’t go, she still boarded that cruise ship. Then, about an hour ago, I received a call from the police and found out that she had disappeared on the cruise ship…”

Gu Lanxi's eyes widened in surprise!

No wonder, even though the two had only met a few times, Chen Lei would come to her in this way.

This was because she was worried that someone wanted to harm her. After scrutinizing everyone around her, she found that the one with the thickest legs and the softest heart was Gu Lanxi.
"So you bought trending searches to hype up our best friend relationship? To make people afraid to mess with you?"

Gu Lanxi was so angry she almost laughed!

Chen Lei's tears started flowing again: "Apart from my assistant who has been with me for a long time, none of the people under my command listen to me. My manager isn't here, so who can buy trending searches for me? Besides, I'm panicking in this kind of situation, how can I care about these things?"

"Then why did you come to me?"

Chen Lei unceremoniously grabbed a tissue, blew her nose forcefully, and then mumbled her thoughts:
"I thought you were going to block me on Friday night, but you didn't. I knew you were magnanimous and had a broad perspective; you must have guessed I was in trouble, which is why you called me in the middle of the night. And since you didn't call back to yell at me, I knew you probably wanted to meet me in person to deal with me. I thought I'd apologize as soon as you got back, and saying it face-to-face would be more sincere." She casually stuffed the crumpled paper into a plastic bag, then put it in her bag. Chen Lei pulled out another tissue and gently wiped her fingertips.
"Don't laugh at me, although I know a lot of people and many people flatter me, only you are the most sincere to me. You are reasonable and trustworthy. You will do whatever you promise me, no matter how difficult it is. Although you sometimes say things that are not pleasant to hear, I know that you are telling the truth. Just for this one thing, you surpass everyone else."

As she cried, thinking about her current situation, Chen Lei broke down again. She buried her head in her knees and cried her heart out for a while before pitifully raising her head to look at Gu Lanxi:
"The police will be issuing a statement about this soon, and I'll definitely be completely ruined. Given my current situation, I'll be utterly powerless to fight back. If you promise to help me get through this, I can transfer my management contract to your studio..."

"Then I'll have to offend your current company, and also control your business, your film resources, your marketing and public relations, and even your daily needs?"

He came to the hotel with gifts to apologize, looking incredibly cunning. After that, he got a second female lead role in exchange for a meal, which also seemed very shrewd. But now he's telling her that without his manager, his people don't listen to him anymore?
Gu Lanxi was furious. Seeing that the car had exited the highway and reached an intersection, she immediately told the driver to stop.

"Go down!"

"No! Everyone knows that you arranged this movie for me! No one would believe me if you said we didn't know each other!"

When I'm feeling really overwhelmed, I don't go to my parents because I don't want them to worry. I go to Gu Lanxi because they're the best people in the world!
Even if Gu Lanxi said she didn't know her, no one would believe her!
Afraid that Gu Lanxi would push her, Chen Lei shrank under the seat, hugged Gu Lanxi's legs, and began to unleash her furious barrage of attacks:
“I admit I rushed into a career change and fell into a trap. I deserve this mess, but I have money. I can pay the breach of contract penalty myself! As long as I don’t lose my commercial deals, I can film several movies every year and earn at least a small fortune for you!! Even if you look down on my scheming, can you really turn down money? You lazybones, you don’t do any work all year round, and Sister Mei only takes care of you. Don’t you think she’s bored? The studio has so many people working at full capacity, are they all working at full capacity? Sign me! Sign me!”

Gu Lanxi took a deep breath, slammed the car door shut, and ordered the driver, "Let's go!"

Chen Lei was instantly exhausted and slumped onto her seat, refusing to get up.

It seemed as if she would keep rushing over and clinging to Gu Lanxi's leg if Gu Lanxi chased her away again.

"Boss, boss, may the God of Wealth bless you, sign me and you'll really make a fortune!"

It has to be said that Chen Lei went to great lengths to get close to the biggest person in her circle of friends, even resorting to speaking Cantonese to please Gu Lanxi.

Unfortunately, her delivery was so poor that anyone from the Greater Bay Area would burst out laughing upon hearing it.

Gu Lanxi didn't want to laugh out loud, but she couldn't hold back any longer and slapped her: "Shut up!"

What a terrible way to end a perfectly good holiday!

But Chen Lei is right; if this is handled well, she can earn a lot more each year.

Putting aside emotional factors, if Gu Lanxi treated this as a business deal, she immediately felt incredibly motivated.

Making money is never easy.

Suddenly I realized that in our family of four, besides me being an air sign, the zodiac sign and the two kids are all earth signs. Tsk.

Since we bought the tricycle, the children no longer have to walk to and from school.

On their way home from school, the older sister saw a flower vendor and discussed with her younger brother that their mother worked very hard every day and that all the flowers at home had withered. They wanted to buy some blooming flowers so that their mother would be happier staying at home.

The younger brother nodded in agreement.

Wow~ Kids with savings are so generous! With a wave of their little hands, Mom can choose whatever she wants.

I chose two pots: one of ping-pong chrysanthemums, which was blooming exceptionally well, and one of phalaenopsis orchids, which was also blooming beautifully.

I had a great time all night.

Every year on my birthday, they would prepare gifts for me. On Women's Day, Mother's Day, or whenever they came across something interesting, they would buy it for me. In the summer, they would even treat me to popsicles.

The prince was extremely jealous and kept pestering the two boys to buy him shoes. The boys readily agreed, but so far they haven't succeeded.

Because I haven't taken them to the mall yet.

I bought tickets to the pottery workshop, and I'll take them to make a plate or a large bowl this weekend. If all goes well, it should be ready by next month.

I just discovered there's a craft workshop near my home, and it's quite big. The kids are older now, and we can't take them to the amusement park all the time.

We can go to more and more interesting places.

Last year I said I'd send them to learn face-changing, but they haven't gone yet.

It seems that there are still quite a few intangible cultural heritage workshops in Chengdu. If the conditions are right, I can take some time to learn from them.
