The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Organizing a concert properly is not an easy task. Putting everything else aside, the rehearsals for the performers and staff alone have been done countless times.

Gu Lanxi's task was much lighter than Lu Nanting's, but in the past few months, apart from filming and a few unavoidable engagements, she had spent most of her time preparing for this concert.

At first, under Lu Nanting's guidance, she practiced singing, dancing, and playing instruments at home. Later, she went to the recording studio to practice with the band. Then she went to a small stage to practice dancing with the dance troupe. A week or two before the concert officially started, she moved to a larger venue and rehearsed with everyone in full dress.

To ensure the concert goes perfectly, the team will rehearse on-site two or three days in advance after the venue is set up.

To maximize profits, one would typically need to travel to at least several cities and hold a concert tour to make the trip worthwhile.

It's very rare to see two people like them rearrange the music and re-integrate the team, all for this special concert.

You need to be rich, capricious enough, and have enough ideas; at the same time, you must have enough say in the team.

Because it was so rare, the two-day wedding-themed special concert, with a total of more than 130,000 tickets, sold out in less than ten seconds. Those who didn't get tickets were even crying and begging the couple to add more shows in the comments section.

Even though Lu Nanting's world tour had just ended not long ago, so many people still wanted to come when they heard that he was going to hold a special concert.

This demonstrates their commercial value.

In the afternoon, Gu Lanxi searched around the house and found many interesting things. She was in a very good mood. When she arrived at the rehearsal location, she saw that Lu Nanting was busy with other things and had not yet arrived. She was not annoyed. She called the team and began rehearsing her solo segment.

Singing will continue as before, but dancing will be changed to less strenuous activities.

Gu Lanxi has been practicing the new dance for a week, but she's not entirely confident about it.

I nervously looked at the dance teacher during the performance, only to see that everyone else seemed embarrassed.

"Teacher Gu, we... um... could we lower the price a little..."

Lu Nanting, the only one who was poisoned, always called her a vixen. People who didn't know her would just think it was a very common, vulgar way of cursing a woman. But after seeing Gu Lanxi dance, they would know just how specific that vixen was.

He seems quite serious, but his expressions and body language always have a special allure that makes people's hearts itch.

Gu Lanxi was a little embarrassed. She played the music again and tried it one more time, but she was too reserved and a bit wooden.

You can only do it again and again, constantly adjusting the degree.

Speaking of which, Gu Lanxi has great flexibility and lung capacity. Because she understands music theory, she has a strong grasp of rhythm. Although her voice is sweet and not very distinctive, and her vocal quality isn't the kind that's naturally gifted, and she's not good at dancing, after practicing a few songs specifically, she can still leave most idols who just coast along by leaps and bounds.

The reason I was unwilling to perform singing and dancing in the past was simply because I had never practiced and had no experience in stage performance. In addition, I was proud and had high standards for myself, so I was unwilling to show my weaknesses.

Now, after Lu Nanting's long-term nagging and personal coaching, everyone was quite surprised when they first trained with the team.

But thinking about it, this is Gu Lanxi, so it seems quite normal.

"Sister Xi, have some water."

After the rehearsal came to an end, Gu Lanxi returned backstage. Nan Zhi brought her a water cup and fed her water, while Niu Lili silently unfolded a long down jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

After drinking the water, Gu Lanxi found a single sofa to sit on and started to feel sleepy.

"Would you like some fruit?"

"It's too cold, I don't want to eat it."

"It's been soaked in hot water, it's lukewarm now. Want an apple?"

Gu Lanxi nodded, and Niu Lili took an apple, quickly cut it into four pieces, removed the core, and handed it to her. These were organic apples grown on their own farm, free of pesticide residues and chemical fertilizers. They didn't look as appealing as those in the market, but they had a particularly strong apple flavor, and the peel was rich in dietary fiber, which aided digestion—that's how she ate them.

Lu Nanting returned with his men after eating just half an apple.

As I entered, I took off my coat and handed it to Xiao Wang. I was still a bit tired and didn't seem to want to talk much, but when I looked up, I saw Gu Lanxi curled up on the sofa, one arm around a small bowl of apples, the other holding a small piece of apple she had just finished eating. She was chewing and smiling at me, and I couldn't help but smile brightly.

"How's the rehearsal going? Is it progressing smoothly?"

"I'm fine. How are you today?"

Lu Nanting paused, walked up to her, leaned on the back of the sofa, bent down, and whispered in her ear, "I was quite tired, but as soon as I saw you, all my ailments disappeared."

"Tsk, then you'll have to call me Doctor Gu."

Lu Nanting picked her up and placed her on the sofa. He then sat down next to her and began to quietly recount what had happened on his way back.

"I didn't want to tell you, but I was afraid you'd be angry when you saw the news later."

"what happened?"

Lu Nanting's street dance variety show has started filming, and he has to fly over there every now and then. It is said that many girls in the industry are secretly flirting with him, but Gu Lanxi believes that he can handle it himself and has never shown his face.

Thinking about how he went to record this show again yesterday, could something have happened?

Seeing her smile vanish instantly, replaced by a cold stare that seemed to threaten to kill him if he dared to wrong her, he quickly raised his hands.

"Don't overthink it! On the way back, while waiting at a traffic light, I saw a car in front of me that was stuck in the green light for ages, refusing to move. Everyone else was honking and swerving around it. I had Xiao Jiang get out and knock on the window. We found the driver slumped over the steering wheel, unconscious. So we smashed the car, dragged him out, and performed CPR and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation..."

"That's great! I'm not someone who can't distinguish right from wrong, why should I get angry?"

Gu Lanxi was speechless and glared at him.

She thought he was teasing her on purpose.

She is indeed petty and jealous, but not to this extent.

Lu Nanting scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "The driver was a woman... and she came back today on her family's plane. Her itinerary was discreet. After leaving the airport, she sent her bodyguards back first. Neither the driver nor Xiao Jiang knew how to do this, and in my haste, I got out of the car..."

Gu Lanxi's eyes widened immediately!

"Female driver?? She was filmed??"

“There were a lot of onlookers at the time, so someone must have taken pictures. But don’t worry, the driver looked to be in his fifties. He was just focused on saving people and didn’t think about anything else…”

The personal assistant didn't even know first aid!

Gu Lanxi took a deep breath, her anger rising, but she didn't lash out at him. Instead, she called Nanzhi over to assign tasks:

"Starting tomorrow, everyone will take turns attending training sessions. Everyone in the studio must learn basic first aid!"

Seeing Xiao Jiang standing silently in the corner, clutching a thermos, Gu Lanxi forced a smile, but her tone was exceptionally cold:
"Those who have been by our side for a long time must be thoroughly familiar with the procedures, otherwise, if one of our own people encounters an emergency, wouldn't we be at a loss? Don't you think so, Assistant Jiang?!"

Seeing that she was angry, not because Lu Nanting had performed CPR, but because of this, Xiao Jiang felt extremely ashamed and apologized repeatedly. In the end, she only received a faint look in return. In her anxiety, cold sweat poured down her back, soaking it through in the blink of an eye. (End of Chapter)
