The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 568 Home and Abroad
After filming wrapped, the young couple said goodbye to their relatives and friends, packed their belongings with their staff, and took a private plane home. Before they even had time to unpack, the people delivering their wedding dress arrived.

The couple had several important occasions to attend at the end of the year, so to save them time on the road, the staff delivered the prepared outfits to them so they could try them on at home.

The living room on the second floor was large and relatively private. After the two changed their clothes in the room, the stylist made some adjustments for them, followed by photos, makeup and styling, and adjustments to the overall look...

The tasks are very trivial and require a lot of patience.

Fortunately, this is at home, so it's convenient to eat and drink. During work breaks, I can even switch rooms to watch movies or do some boxing.

By the time I finished, it was already past ten o'clock.

The kitchen had already prepared a sumptuous late-night snack. After the staff finished eating and rested for a while, they went to the yard to feed the rabbits for a bit before leaving satisfied.

Lu Nanting goes to the gym for half an hour before bed to burn off excess fat.

They have a wedding concert at the end of the year, as well as several red carpet events, and Lu Nanting is very strict about managing his figure.

Seeing that he had plans, Gu Lanxi ignored him and went straight to the study.

Nan Zhi and Feng Lu were already waiting.

She was so busy that she needed to quickly check all the social obligations she had accumulated over the past few months.

Gu Lanxi felt sorry for her husband, who was also a domineering man with a strong desire for control. Ever since they got married, Lu Nanting no longer relied on his parents and sponged off them. His social interactions were handed over to Gu Lanxi, who managed everything both at home and outside.

Both of them were well-connected people, and when they came together, the number of people they needed to interact with instantly increased several times over.

Throughout the year, there are quite a few formal weddings and funerals, and the number of invitations received by the family each month is enough to fill a basket.

They were both too busy to visit in person often, but that doesn't mean they didn't go or send gifts.

Assistant Nan Zhi was in charge of entertainment industry contacts, and secretary Feng Lu was in charge of business partners. Feng Lu was also in charge of family and friends, but after marriage, there were too many people involved, so she handed them all over to the old house's housekeeper.

Besides the old housekeeper, the old house also had two assistant housekeepers.

Mrs. Lu had told them many times to find their own housekeeper. Gu Lanxi had her eye on a deputy housekeeper at the old house, but Mrs. Lu refused to let her go. In addition, the couple didn't spend much time at home throughout the year and hadn't found a suitable one, so the matter was dragged on.

Gu Lanxi actually understood. A housekeeper was one thing, but a housekeeper was different; she would have access to her private social circle. Her mother-in-law didn't want to overstep her boundaries in this regard, but she really didn't have any suspicions about her mother-in-law.

A while ago, Mrs. Lu finally relented and said she had found a few good ones for her, but she still needed to see if she liked them. Gu Lanxi scheduled an interview in a couple of days, but she didn't know if she could find one she liked.

After all, the position of butler is very important. If they do a good job, many will stay in the family until retirement, and their descendants will continue to serve the family. Therefore, they must be carefully selected.

She and the old family home kept their finances separate, but she always tried to take advantage of them in terms of personnel. Mrs. Lu was both annoyed and amused, and couldn't do anything about it.

The next day, Lu Nanting went out early in the morning to give an interview, while Gu Lanxi changed into a neat white shirt and black suit, abandoned her conservative and luxurious car, and drove the technologically advanced Zhiyi intelligent car, which she endorsed, to the China World Hotel to attend the annual meeting of corporate leaders.

She simply drove outside the hotel, blocking traffic for over ten minutes in front of paparazzi and fans, and then parked her car in a spot with her nameplate on it. The next day, Zhiyi's stock price saw a significant increase.

That evening, Zhiyi's owner, Chai Wenxin, and his wife personally came to their home to deliver an invitation, inviting them to their son's 12th birthday party at the end of the year.

I mentioned this on the phone a few days ago, but the young couple is in Guangzhou and can't get away for the time being. Chai Wenxin is also very busy. So I said I'd send someone over when they get back.

Gu Lanxi was quite observant and found it strange at the time that the invitations could have been delivered to their home instead of being handed to them.

Moreover, it wasn't a first birthday or a tenth birthday, but just a twelve-year-old's birthday. Gu Lanxi was a little unsure how to prepare a gift.

Without any advice from a worldly-wise housekeeper, Gu Lanxi called her mother-in-law.

Only then did I learn that the family was from Inner Mongolia, and that they held a "round lock" ceremony for their child's twelfth birthday. In some ways, the ceremony was as grand as the first birthday celebration and a wedding, and even more important than the tenth birthday.

Unexpectedly, the boss and his wife came to invite me in person.

Gu Lanxi immediately notified Feng Lu to upgrade the quality of the gift.

After the annual meeting, there's an endless stream of promotional materials for the brand.

All ten endorsements were in their honeymoon period, and she had to keep up with the brands' ever-changing promotional strategies, so her workload was considerable.

To improve efficiency, she likes to pile up similar tasks together.

Most celebrities wouldn't dare ask their sponsors for endorsements, but Gu Lanxi is different. She only accepts endorsements because brands practically beg her, and she's always willing to cooperate to the fullest extent. Everyone knows her rule: once she's on set, she doesn't leave unless absolutely necessary, so all the major brands are waiting for her to wrap up filming.

Now that the person has been released, the major brands that were already prepared have naturally taken immediate action.

Mei Jie, along with Zhuang Xiaotong, coordinated with all parties, so that Gu Lanxi could simply go and film when she had time.

Makeup, styling, and creative shooting ideas—everything was already prepared.

I have to say, having a professional team really saves a lot of trouble.

Gu Lanxi manages her staff without ever considering personal feelings, offering excellent treatment and prioritizing efficiency above all else. So, despite the seemingly simple staff in her two studios, they are all highly capable.

In fact, with her intervention and management, the efficiency of Lu Nanting's studio improved significantly, as everyone was afraid of losing their jobs.

Besides the business work she's been accumulating, she's been nominated for Best Actress twice this year and won one of them. Major magazines have been sending her invitations, hoping she can shoot a cover or at least give an interview.

Most interviews require video recording, delving deeper into a few topics. Gu Lanxi is afraid of saying too much and making mistakes, so she has never been very enthusiastic about this kind of activity. In the end, she chose a New Year's cover of a top fashion magazine and a special issue cover of a financial magazine specially made for outstanding young Asian entrepreneurs.

The former can enhance her commercial value, while the latter can solidify her industry position.

Basically, among young people of the same age, in terms of business scale and rapid wealth growth, she is not only number one in Asia, but also a prominent figure globally, even without considering family inheritance.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so successful when he first entered the world of fashion and fame.

Ordinary people admire good looks, but once you reach a certain level in a social circle, a person's appearance and demeanor become secondary; ability, wealth, and power become the more valued things.

"The Tenant" is a psychological thriller. Gu Lanxi spent more than two months filming in an immersive environment, making it difficult to detach herself from the role.

The brand had anticipated this and hadn't planned a sunny theme, so even though she was still carrying those emotions, the work proceeded smoothly.

After the materials were filmed, at the end of January, all the major companies would start their year-end summaries. Gu Lanxi didn't want to attract attention everywhere, so she worked from home and basically held shareholder meetings online every day.

In addition, her studio and company also need to do this kind of work, so Gu Lanxi does nothing but work and sleep all day long, and even thunder can't wake her up.

Because I was so tired, I slept very well every day.

But Lu Nanting had seen how afraid she was of even the door. For the past month or so, whenever she could come back, she would come back to sleep, even if it was in the middle of the night.

Since the annual meeting for entrepreneurs, Gu Lanxi has not made any official public appearances until the end of January.

In addition, Lu Nanting was rushing home every day, and the marketing accounts were repeating the same old story, claiming with certainty that Gu Lanxi was pregnant this time.

These kinds of rumors appear countless times throughout the year; even fans are too lazy to contribute clicks when they see them.

However, on February 5th, the day after the official announcement of the release date of "Above the Stars", paparazzi photographed the Lanting couple appearing at the best private maternity hospital in Beijing.

Even though she was wrapped up tightly, fans recognized her at a glance because the photos were high-definition enough!

The fans immediately went wild!
#Gu Lanxi is pregnant#, it skyrocketed to the top of the trending searches in less than half an hour! The word "hot" next to the topic is incredibly popular!
The reunion that countless people have been waiting for for over a year is finally on its way!
Tuan Tuan is here.

This book is different from traditional romance novels.

Generally speaking, once someone gets married, the story should end; once they have a baby, it should start with a spin-off.

The book starts with a wedding, and the baby-making and extra chapters are unrelated. The main text will feature the baby-related plot, including the arrival of Tuantuan and Yuanyuan.

After having a child, their family will have many more interesting stories.

You guys really enjoy reading my ramblings about my family life, and since I haven't written about raising kids yet, I've decided to do that in this book. I hope you'll like it!

You're several months pregnant now. Would you prefer a faster pace or a more detailed view?

They're so popular that they're constantly being watched, so it's no accident that they were discovered.

The paparazzi wanted to sell the photos, but there were too many paparazzi, and buying out the information would cost a lot of money. Gu Lanxi, being a money-grubber, couldn't bear to part with it.

Besides, it was a child born in wedlock, so she felt there was no need for it.

Anyway, my belly is getting big, so it will be exposed sooner or later.
