The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 647 Ideas
"It felt a bit strange. Everyone was so cautious. They didn't even talk to me. They just stood there, as obedient as quails, quietly watching me. They didn't ask for autographs or photos. No one even raised their phone to take a picture of me. I was so scared that even though I had already walked over, I turned back, afraid that I had done something wrong."

The plane landed, and Lu Nanting successfully picked up Gu Lanxi.

The studio staff went home to begin a long vacation of half a month, while their family drivers and bodyguards took them home.

As soon as the car door closed, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but start talking about picking someone up and dropping them off at the airport today.

It had been a long time since she had met her fans in such an setting. Before the meeting, besides being nervous, she was actually quite looking forward to it. After all, she was a down-to-earth female celebrity who had been a fan favorite for years, and she was quite familiar with her fans who liked to meet her in person.

But when she met them, everyone's reaction was completely different from what she had imagined. Even though they eventually returned to normal, she couldn't help but overthink it.

Because the situation was so strange, she couldn't figure out what everyone was thinking, and like a blind person walking, she took every step very carefully.

Lu Nanting held her hand, staring intently at her. After a long while, just as he was about to pull her in for a passionate kiss, he heard her mention this matter and couldn't help but sigh softly:

"Ever since you were blocked at the airport last time, every time you go out, you either take your own plane, drive, or at the very least, you use the VIP channel. Your fans can't catch you anymore, and they think you've developed a phobia of airports. This time, we discussed what to do in the group several days in advance, just in case we scared you."

After all, compared to other modes of transportation, regular air travel is incredibly cheap.

If you catch a discount during the off-season, you can fly from Shanghai to Beijing for just over 200 yuan.

Although Gu Lanxi was wealthy, she was known for her frugality, living a comfortable and carefree life without ever pursuing luxury.

With such a drastic change in her behavior, it was impossible for her fans, who scrutinize her every day, not to notice.

Gu Lanxi rarely paid attention to her fans' activities, and usually arranged for staff to keep an eye on them, while Lu Nanting liked to go online.

He not only enjoys watching fans create content and share sweet moments, but he also likes to use alternate accounts to infiltrate fan groups and see what fans are talking about.

Although he could only stay in the Dream Man group for less than a minute before leaving, he genuinely enjoyed doing this kind of thing.

So it's not surprising at all that you know this.

So that's what happened. Gu Lanxi couldn't help but sigh:
"That's what makes it scary! It's like I've been transformed into a different soul. I walked over, and they didn't call out to me. They just watched me walk by quietly, their eyes wide open."

She had just been in trouble a few days ago. Although many people praised her, many fans also criticized her. Seeing this scene again, it's hard not to feel uneasy.

Seeing her still shaken look, Lu Nanting couldn't help but laugh: "So afraid of the house collapsing? You're not wrong, it's really not that bad."

"That's true, it's a bit of paranoia."

Gu Lanxi adjusted her seat and let out a long sigh of relief as she half-reclined.

After working away from home for several months, I'm finally going home! I'm so excited to be back!
After talking about fans and work arrangements for a while, the two started discussing how to spend their upcoming holiday.

Lu Nanting offered many suggestions, but Gu Lanxi couldn't muster any enthusiasm for them.

"This movie almost made me lose my enthusiasm for life. Every day is either fighting or scheming. I always feel like everyone around me is trying to harm me. I don't want to go anywhere during my rare holiday. I just want to stay at home."

Having fully experienced another person's difficult life, repeatedly stepping out of and into the role, Gu Lanxi exudes a sense of being alive but barely alive, seemingly lacking any enthusiasm for anything. She is indeed a completely different person from before joining the crew.

Lu Nanting peeled a pear for her and handed it to her whole:
"Here, have a pear that we'll never part with. It's just that the scene is a bit slow to unfold. I'm here with you! What are you afraid of?"

After Gu Lanxi answered with an "Mmm," he wiped the fruit knife and asked her, "Half a month? Can you really stay at home?"

He often stays at home for days on end to write new songs, but Gu Lanxi is someone who really enjoys outdoor activities.

I've been staying home for half a month straight, and I'm bound to get bored in a few days.

He wasn't worried about anything else, but his schedule was also very full. He rarely had a few days free to spend with his wife. If he said he would stay home, he would regret it a couple of days later. He couldn't adjust his schedule.

Those words were indeed quite emotional and unrealistic, Gu Lanxi sighed.
“Even if I stay at home, I can’t just laze around. There’s a lot of business to do, and I need to start memorizing the script for my next film. I also need to start picking out the scripts for the next project. Although Sister Mei is very capable, I’d like to pick them out myself when I have time, just in case something that interests me gets missed.” Lu Nanting wiped the fruit knife clean and put it away, keeping his head down and remaining silent.

Sunlight streamed through the car window. Gu Lanxi tossed aside the pear core and turned to look at him. The sunlight made his long eyelashes appear slightly translucent, giving him an air of fragility and pitifulness, which was quite helpless.

"I definitely need to spend time with my family first! I'm not made of iron; if the company can't function without me, it might as well go bankrupt..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Nanting covered her mouth.

The two spat a few times at the same time, then looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

During the hottest time of the year, the highway is baked by the blazing sun, and it feels like the air near the ground is distorted.

The two first held hands, and then unconsciously sat closer together. As they sat, Lu Nanting pulled her into his arms.

"Are you sleepy? Do you want to lean on me and take a nap?"

"No need, I slept the whole plane, I'm not sleepy right now."

Gu Lanxi has never been picky about her sleeping environment. When she is sleepy, she can sleep peacefully even if a bunch of people are around her.

So, Lu Nanting took the initiative to bring up the matter he had been keeping secret for a while:
"I've come up with a great idea, like the one I told you about before. Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course I'll listen!"

Lu Nanting didn't keep her in suspense and said it directly:

“A few days ago, people from our family’s charity foundation came over to discuss something with Mom. They talked about the difficulty for elderly people left behind in rural areas to monetize their agricultural products. I think you can do this. You happen to have many online influencers under you who can help with live-streaming sales. It can help people, it will be good for your reputation, and it can also expand the company’s business.”

Authentic rural products have always been popular, and as people's lives improve, their demands for quality of life also increase.

Many people are willing to spend more money as long as they can buy genuine local products.

Over the years, Gu Lanxi has integrated resources from all parties to build a very convenient warehousing system, and closely cooperated with the Zhang family's own logistics chain. In terms of agricultural products, they have always done very well. It is easy to achieve this.

But Gu Lanxi shook her head:
“These agricultural products have many flaws. For example, grains may contain impurities, but some are even infested with insects due to improper storage. Blindly putting them on the shelves will cause difficulties in after-sales service, which will definitely affect my reputation. In addition, we can't produce in large quantities, so we can't sell in bulk. Selling them one by one is very hard work for those who promote the products, and those who sell them are also anxious.”

Gu Lanxi refused outright.

"I won't do things that don't make money or fame, and can easily cause trouble if I'm not careful."

Have you ever seen someone walking in the middle of the road while looking at their phone or making a phone call?
It's not about crossing the road, it's about walking straight along the middle of the road.

I encounter this almost every day, and I live in constant fear, afraid of hitting someone.

Is this kind of behavior common where you live?
I'm curious to know if this is a bad habit caused by regional laxity, or if there are people like this everywhere.

This is important; it relates to whether I should condemn the low-quality population of the entire world or resort to sweeping generalizations.

┭┮﹏┭┮The feeling of someone suddenly jumping out while you're walking along is something you can't understand; it's no less than a powder keg suddenly appearing on the street.

I witnessed two car accidents in just one week.

One afternoon, an old man, quite drunk, was driving an electric tricycle when he knocked a young man to the ground. The young man had just gotten up when his leg was swollen. The old man then swerved the tricycle into the middle of the road and walked straight ahead, while cars on both sides honked their horns incessantly.

One morning, the bus was kissed on the back. People rushing to work or school weren't in a hurry at all; they stood in the middle of the road, craning their necks to watch the spectacle.

That's bizarre!
