Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 113 Tangtang, the Third Sister, Returns to Her Position! Lu Yunzhou Sweeps International Honors, Then Smashes the Golden Rooster Award!

"Instead of resting at home, you're coming to work? Is it really necessary to be so diligent?"

Huang Yida saw Lu Yunzhou appear in the company and his face was full of teasing.

If it were a young person, they probably wouldn't understand why Lu Yunzhou, who finally had a few days off, would come to work instead of staying home.

But as a middle-aged man, Huang Yida understood all too well.

"Let me see how the script for 'Queen of Tears' is coming along?"

Lu Yunzhou found a perfectly legitimate reason.

This drama is adapted from a Korean drama, but in order to promote his own brand, Lu Yunzhou needs to drastically change a lot of the content.

For example, in the original drama, the female lead's family ran a high-end department store group called "Queen Group".

This doesn't need to be changed at all.

Although Lu Yunzhou's family doesn't sell department stores, they do sell high-end fashion and gold luxury goods, which can be almost perfectly replicated.

However, their family doesn't own a department store.

In addition, to elevate the overall quality of the series, filming will take place in Italy.

Florence, Milan, and Rome will be the three main filming locations for this series.

In the original version, the male protagonist's family runs a small supermarket in the village and owns an orchard and a cattle farm.

This is an unfamiliar area for Lu Yunzhou, so it needs some minor modifications.

In the new version, Lu Yunzhou wanted the male protagonist's character to be a family running a small textile factory in Prato, near Florence.

Prato is the first stop for many Wenzhou people after arriving in Italy.

Most of them work in factories.

They make either clothing or leather goods.

If you have a skill, then just open a Chinese restaurant.

He hopes to create an idol drama version of "The Family of Wenzhou" with this series, and many of the plots can be based on the real history of the LB Group.

"You're the boss, you don't need to explain to me—"

Huang Yida chuckled and winked at Lu Yunzhou, saying, "By the way, what do you want for lunch? Here are two lists for you to choose from."

Huang Yida received two WeChat messages on his phone, both containing lunch lists prepared for Lu Yunzhou.

One of them was a complete seafood list sent by Wang Ran.

The other one was sent by Tang Yan. It was a healthy and nutritious meal, low in fat, sodium, and sugar, but full of high protein and fiber. It was obviously prepared by a nutritionist at Tang Yan's request.

"I think eating seafood is better."

Seeing Lu Yunzhou in a dilemma, Huang Yida directly helped him choose: "I'll add a few more oysters for you, and a salmon too. You need to replenish your energy and recharge."

"I'm going to Italy soon—I can't even imagine how you'll get through the rest of the year."

Huang Yida couldn't even handle Ji Rujing alone.

He couldn't imagine how Lu Yunzhou managed to handle so many people at the same time.

"Uncle Da, aren't you coming along?"

Lu Yunzhou understood Huang Yida's meaning; it seemed he didn't want to go together. He said with ill intent, "If international supermodel Diana asks, how should I answer?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yida reacted as if his tail had been stepped on, and immediately covered Lu Yunzhou's mouth, saying, "What Diana? Don't talk nonsense."

He winked at Lu Yunzhou, his voice barely audible: "There are too many people and too many eyes in the company, are you trying to get me killed?"

To change the subject, Huang Yida dropped a bombshell on Lu Yunzhou: "I was chatting with people from Kiwi recently, and I heard that your white moonlight, Li Lin, has become a Kiwi imperial concubine. She recently collaborated with Kiwi on a period drama called something like 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix,' and she's completely ripped off the script. A lot of people are complaining about it in the group chat."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou covered his forehead: "First of all, Li Qin is not my white moonlight."

"Secondly, the title of this drama is 'Phoenix Prisoner,' which uses the character for 'prisoner' (囚) instead of the character for 'demand' (求)."

"Finally, the female lead of this drama is not Li Lin, but Bai Lu, who looks somewhat similar to Li Lin. But as soon as Bai Lu smiles, I know she's a spirited blondie."

Is that right?

It turns out that the queen consort of kiwifruit is someone else entirely.

Li Qin has been taking the blame for so long without saying a word; he's really honest.

"It seems there are significant problems with the management of kiwifruit."

Huang Yida pondered for a moment and said to Lu Yunzhou, "Actually, what I wanted to say is that we can't keep relying on kiwifruit forever. Tencent is offering a higher price—"

"I understand what you mean."

Lu Yunzhou instantly understood Huang Yida's subtext: "My movie 'Crazy Racing,' the domestic streaming rights, haven't they been sold yet? Go talk to Tencent. See how sincere they are?"

"learn!"

Huang Yida smiled when he saw that Lu Yunzhou understood immediately.

If Tencent Video offers a high price for the streaming rights to "Racing Cars," then they can then negotiate the rights to the movie "The Fairy Castle of Dresden."

Of course, the most important thing is the copyright to the TV series "Queen of Tears".

However, all collaborations, from superficial to in-depth, require a process.

Although they have had a very pleasant cooperation with kiwifruit over the past few years, business is business, and they will cooperate with whoever offers the highest price.

From the perspective of TV dramas, Kiwifruit is more inclined towards serious dramas, and more like period dramas with the quality of CCTV.

In the idol drama category, Tencent Video is stronger.

"Queen of Tears" is also more in line with the users of Tencent Video.

If Tencent Video is willing to offer a high price, Lu Yunzhou will have a satisfactory explanation to Monkey King, and things won't completely fall apart.

"Everyone, how's the script coming along?"

After chatting with Huang Yida for a while, Lu Yunzhou went to the scriptwriting department to check on the script.

"Boss, there's nothing wrong with the plot, it's mainly a few details. We know nothing about Italy."

"The current version is mainly written according to the domestic situation, so it may be a little different from what you have in mind, boss."

A veteran screenwriter spoke hesitantly.

They knew that Lu Yunzhou had very high standards for scripts, and if they didn't meet those standards, he might rewrite them 20 times.

"I understand what you mean."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but laugh: "Pack your things, we'll add 5 more spots, and you'll come with me to Italy in a couple of days for a 15-day inspection."

-

It was nominally an inspection tour, but in reality it was just tourism.

Before filming "The Fairy Castle of Dresden", Lu Yunzhou also took them on a nearly month-long tour of several countries.

While this group was traveling, Lu Yunzhou completed a reproduction of the world-famous painting "The Last Supper" in Milan.

"Long live the boss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered.

With such benefits, even if other companies offered them higher salaries, they would never switch jobs.

Paid travel offers the chance to enjoy discounted prices at luxury stores—and you might even be able to do some personal shopping and earn a little extra money.

After a busy day at the company, Lu Yunzhou returned home.

Wang Ran returned earlier than him and was lying on a yoga mat, working out her figure.

Upon seeing Lu Yunzhou return, Wang Churan immediately stood up and came over to help Lu Yunzhou with his things.

While getting her things, she casually asked, "Third brother, did you go to the company today?"

In Shanghai dialect, "老三老四" refers to those who like to act like bosses and take advantage of their age; it sounds really annoying.

In short, it wasn't anything nice to say.

"Who is the third son?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Wang Ran was referring to Tang Yan, the third wife's prospective concubine.

Although Tang Yan may be nominally the third wife, she is the oldest and has the greatest achievements.

Within the company, Tang Yan was still Wang Churan's nominal boss.

However, ever since Lu Yunzhou mentioned that he would take care of Tang Yan for the rest of her life, Wang Ran has almost never been to the company again.

These two people, at some point, started to dislike each other.

This is not a good thing for Lu Yunzhou.

"Little jealous person."

Lu Yunzhou pinched Wang Cheran's cheek and whispered in her ear, "I had a seafood feast for lunch today."

A seafood feast was the option Wang Ran had prepared for him.

Choosing the seafood feast is equivalent to choosing Wang Ran.

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheran's lips curled up slightly, and he snorted softly, saying, "That's more like it."

After she finished speaking, she deliberately twisted her waist and spun around in front of Lu Yunzhou to show off.

Seeing Lu Yunzhou staring at her back, Wang Ran smiled smugly before walking into the kitchen with a beaming smile.

A short while later, she placed the food she had brought back from outside on the dining table.

"Why seafood again?"

Although seafood is delicious, especially in September, Lu Yunzhou felt his mouth was starting to taste bitter from eating it every day.

What do you think?

Wang Churan rolled her eyes at Lu Yunzhou and muttered to herself, "I don't know what's wrong with you lately, but I feel like you've changed a bit, you're not the same as before."

"I checked on Xiaohongshu and it said that your situation is due to wasting too much food and not replenishing it."

"I need to replenish your inventory!"

Replenish my inventory?

Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou didn't know what to say.

Because the talent the system refreshed for him not only allowed him to delay aging, but also allowed him to recover at least 50% faster than an ordinary person, no matter how tired he was today, as long as he got a good night's sleep!

Even so, he was still very tired every day.

Who is the culprit?

I won't name Lu Yunzhou—Wang Ran should know perfectly well what's going on.

The reason he feels weak and unwell now is mainly because he can't sleep well every night!

Lu Yunzhou felt like he was a Luger pistol, which was actually powerful enough most of the time—but some people used him like a Maxim machine gun!

How can the bullets keep up?

After finishing the meal, Wang Ran took the initiative to clear the dishes without saying a word.

Lu Yunzhou usually helps with washing the dishes.

"Brother, go sit on the sofa for a while. I'll tidy up here."

Wang Ran smiled gently at Lu Yunzhou.

Behind every gentle smile from a woman, a man has to pay the price—Lu Yunzhou knows all too well what the [JTBD Theory] is, also known as the "Caramel Pudding Theory".

Today, Wang Ran was very gentle with him.

However, gentleness is only a facade.

Her real purpose was to spend the night with him.

In order to get along well with him, she could present herself as extremely gentle, maintain a great figure, and even restrain her malice towards Tang Yan.

It's like someone buying a drill bit, not because the drill bit is so good, but because she needs to drill a hole in the wall.

This theory comes from the marketing book "Competing Against Luck".

The English version was released in 2016.

The Chinese version will be released in 2018.

We haven't seen it in this time and space yet.

But Lu Yunzhou knew that once this book was published, it would definitely become the bible of marketing.

"Brother, do you know why Sister Tangtang has been going to the gym every day lately to work on her glutes?"

After clearing away the dishes, Wang Ran returned to the living room, nestled in Lu Yunzhou's arms, and asked with a smile.

Lu Yunzhou looked at Wang Ran and chuckled softly, "Although I don't know why, I can roughly guess that it has something to do with you."

"You're so smart!"

Wang Churan chuckled, opened her WeChat Moments, and showed it to Lu Yunzhou.

It turns out that she posts a photo of herself doing a "glute bridge" at home on her WeChat Moments every day.

Then she even showed off how great her figure is!

Why can't I see these photos in my WeChat Moments?

Wang Churan posts pictures of her figure on her WeChat Moments, but Lu Yunzhou has never seen a single one of them.

Isn't this like seeing a ghost?

"I've divided them into groups. These photos are only visible to Sister Tangtang and Sister Nan." After saying that, Wang Ran snuggled into Lu Yunzhou's arms and laughed heartily.

Like a little fox that has stolen a chicken.

"You little rascal! You've shorted them again!"

Lu Yunzhou understood now.

Zhang Ruonan and Tang Yan both have flat figures, while Wang Churan has a full figure with a prominent bust and buttocks, giving her a huge advantage in this regard.

So she deliberately shorted them both, making them anxious about their body image.

No wonder Tang Yan has been going to the gym every day lately, and even doing some kind of "butt-lifting" exercises.

When Lu Yunzhou learned about this, he thought to himself, "Tang Yan has been flat-chested for so many years, why does she suddenly have the urge to change things?"

Could it be that I am so charming that I have made Tang Yan more ambitious and eager to improve herself in order to win my favor?

But it seems unnecessary.

Even if Tang Yan is flat-chested, she still has long legs and a sweet smile, making her quite feminine. She's always been confident; it's impossible for her to suddenly become insecure.

It turns out it was Wang Ran, shorting them again!

Competition among women is a woman's greatest driving force.

"Brother, I'm not just shorting them, I'm also improving myself every day so they can never catch up with me."

Wang Ran whispered something seductively in Lu Yunzhou's ear.

"Bitterness."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to go to bed early tonight."

Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Wang Ran. To be honest, Wang Ran's physique is much better than before because he exercises every day.

She keeps waving around in front of me every day; it's enough to make me want to commit a crime.

Half an hour later.

Lu Yunzhou went to take a shower.

After washing up, Wang Ran immediately snuggled into Lu Yunzhou's arms and asked maliciously, "Brother, there's a question I need to ask you again."

"Which do you think tastes better, the Altay big-butt sheep or the Luxi Qingshan goat?"

Is this a food-related issue?

This is a matter of stance.

-

Lu Yunzhou replied without hesitation, "I prefer milder flavors. Qingshan goat suits my taste better."

1

Haha, men!

Get it right!

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou's answer was very satisfactory, Wang asked again, "Then would you like to eat it again?"

'

"If you don't answer, I'll take that as a yes."

"3, 2, 1—Let's go!"

Three days later.

Pudong International Airport.

Just past midnight, Lu Yunzhou and his group boarded a direct flight from Pudong to Milan, a journey of approximately 13 hours.

This is an early morning flight.

We depart from China at approximately 1:30 PM and fly to Milan, arriving around 8 AM.

Lu Yunzhou specifically asked his assistant to buy him a first-class ticket. He wanted him to be alone and quiet in first class, to enjoy himself—

Take a nap.

As for the other people in the company, especially the female celebrities, they were deliberately arranged to be in business class, physically isolated from Lu Yunzhou.

"Nazha, you look great lately, radiant! Which beauty salon did you go to for a treatment?"

Tang Yan and Nazha sat together and chatted casually.

They have a pretty good relationship.

After all, they had previously filmed "The Speeding Racer" together. Moreover, Nazha is the spokesperson for Kou Ruiyiren, while Tang Yan is a minor shareholder of LB Group.

Nazha is essentially working for Tang Yan.

"Sister Tangtang, you too. You look much more radiant than before—is something good going to happen?"

Previously, Nazha saw Tang Yan as if she were looking in a mirror.

Both of them were thin and bony.

Although both of them had long legs, their buttocks were soft and saggy, lacking any charm.

However, Nazha has a racial advantage; her upper body is more feminine.

The two of them were both incredibly thin, like skin and bones. However, this time, Tang Yan seemed to be radiating a healthy glow, perhaps because she had adjusted her sleep schedule or was simply in high spirits.

It's obvious that you have a lot of energy and blood!

You'll find out in a while.

Being Lu Yunzhou's third wife is nothing to brag about, so Tang Yan naturally wouldn't talk about it to outsiders.

However, she didn't know why, but just thinking about it filled her with anticipation.

It was as if she wasn't someone's mistress.

This feeling is like—when she was a child, on the day of Laba Festival, she would get up early and go to Jing'an Temple to queue with her grandmother.

Looking at the long queue ahead, she couldn't see the end at all.

Just then, an older woman suddenly said to her, "This little girl is so cute, let her cut in line and get a bowl first."

So, amidst the envious gazes of countless people, she was third in line and, in the dead of winter, enjoyed a steaming bowl of Jing'an Temple porridge, which tasted quite good and was full of blessings.

And now—she's standing in line, third in line.

Next, it's time for the countdown—waiting for the porridge to be served!

How could you not feel good about this?

"Nazha, you've been smiling ever since just now, and you reek of the stench of being in love."

2

"Tell me, which rich kid are you dating this time?"

Naza could smell the moist scent emanating from Tang Yan, and Tang Yan could naturally smell the stench of love emanating from Naza.

What kind of acting skills does Nazha have? Can she even hold back?

Tang Yan only likes handsome men, and she doesn't particularly care whether they are rich or not—they are probably not as rich as her.

Of course, if a handsome guy is also rich, that's the icing on the cake.

However, Nazha is different from Tang Yan; she only likes rich second-generation heirs. As for whether the rich second-generation heirs are handsome? Of course, it's better if they're handsome, but it doesn't matter if they're not.

It's just a short-term choice.

"Sister Tangtang, you'll find out later."

Given the close relationship between Tang Yan and Lu Yunzhou, Nazha felt that she probably wouldn't be able to hide it for long.

At that time, Tang Yan might need to cover for them to avoid being discovered by Wang Cheran and Zhang Ruonan, who might then come over and pull her hair in a fit of anger.

Zhang Ziyi's door was blocked and red paint was splashed on her.

However, Zhang Ziyi's agent is her brother, so he will definitely protect her very well.

Naza felt that if she were in this situation, her manager would be the first to run away, not caring about her life or death.

"Boat girl, what are you eating? Can I have a taste?"

Just then, Tang Yan looked at Wang Churan, who was eating with a spoon beside her, and asked a meaningful question.

"no."

Wang refused decisively, guarding the food tightly: "I've already eaten this. Can't you just go and ask for one yourself?"

Lu Yunzhou is mine.

If you want a man, can't you just find one outside?

There are at least 7 million men in China, why do you insist on competing with me for them?

"Okay, I'll ask the flight attendant for one."

Tang Yan didn't bother arguing with Wang Ran. She called over a flight attendant, asked for a brand new one, and leisurely enjoyed it.

"After you come back from Milan, are you going to go back to school?"

While enjoying the food, Tang Yan looked at Wang Cheran and subtly suggested, "As a freshman, you should live on campus. Get along better with your classmates and don't try to be special."

If I live in a dormitory, are you going to steal my man?

Why would I fall for that?

Wang Cherishedly tossed the empty box aside and snorted, saying, "It's fine for me to live at school. But my brother needs me to stay with him every night. Otherwise, he'll be lonely."

"Yeah?"

Tang Yan smiled faintly and slowly shook her head, saying, "He won't be lonely."

I will go and keep him company.

Sensing Tang Yan's ill intentions, Wang Ran immediately looked over.

Sizzle~~

Their eyes met in mid-air, and in that instant, it felt as if they had already fought tens of thousands of rounds!

Wang Churan: You wish! I will never live on campus.

Tang Yan: Go live at school right now! Don't come back until the weekend!

"I have a suggestion."

Naza suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the two turned their heads sharply, their eyes flashing as if countless swords were gleaming.

In that instant, Nazha felt as if her health bar had instantly depleted.

She gave an awkward laugh: "What I mean is, the journey is so long, why don't we play some cards to pass the time?"

"Can."

Tang Yan thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "But just playing Dou Dizhu isn't very interesting; there has to be some stakes involved."

After she finished speaking, she deliberately turned her head to look at Wang Ran.

Wang Ran thought to himself, "You two little idiots, you think you can play cards with me? I'm young and smart, there's no way I could possibly lose 0."

She nodded in agreement: "Sister Tangtang, what do you want to bet on?"

Tang Yan turned to look at Wang Cheran and said meaningfully, "If you lose, you'll have to call me 'sister' from now on."

Naza was taken aback when she heard this: "Sister Tangtang, didn't Chuanmei call you 'sister' before? You won't get any benefit from winning this bet."

Wang Cherished Nazha and scoffed, "What if I win?"

Tang Yan gritted her teeth and said, "I'll wash your feet."

Washing your feet means you've given in.

From then on, whenever she went to the toilet, she would have to wait in line behind Wang Cheran.

"It's a deal!"

Wang trembled and reached out to shake hands firmly with Tang Yan, making a gentleman's agreement.

Naza watched with a bit of trepidation, thinking to herself: Are these two playing this high-stakes game? What if one of them loses and they blame me?

Naza didn't know why the two of them suddenly couldn't stand each other. Weren't they from the same company?

Also, Wang Ran is really bold.

Tang Yan is the company boss.

Naza drew an analogy to this situation, saying it was like when she and Cai Yinong were on a business trip and someone suggested playing cards.

Cai Yinong's wager was that if she lost, she would wash Nazha's feet!

Even if Cai Yinong dared to suggest this, Nazha wouldn't dare to take the gamble. And even if she won, would Cai Yinong actually wash her feet?

If Cai Yinong dares to bend down, would Gulnazar dare to stretch out her leg?

Aren't you afraid of getting chopped up?

"Sister Tangtang, Sister Chuan, I don't know why, but I really don't like Zhang Tianai. Do you guys feel the same way?"

To ease the tension between the two, Nazha also has her own little tricks.

She pulled out another target of hatred and focused all her firepower on Zhang Tianai.

"A pair of Qs!"

After throwing down a card, Wang Churan snorted coldly and said, "That damned vixen Zhang Tianai, don't give me the chance, I'll crush her under my foot!"

"I'll bet my Aces on you!"

Tang Yan firmly suppressed Wang Ran and said disdainfully, "I hate Dilraba the most. This Milan Fashion Week, Gulnazar, you better step up and completely overshadow Dilraba."

"Yes, I'm annoyed by Dilraba too!"

Wang Churan, unusually agreeing with Tang Yan, turned to stare at Nazha: "Sister Nazha, if you can't outdo Dilraba on the red carpet, you might as well retire and go back to your hometown to sell Altay's big-butt sheep!"

Why has this arduous task fallen on my shoulders again?

"Four 3s, bomb! I'm the winner."

After throwing out a bombshell, Nazha ruthlessly reaped the victory.

She clapped her hands happily and said to the two of them, "From today onwards, one of you will call me 'sister,' and the other will wash my feet!"

Then, we played a few more rounds.

Naza always got exceptionally good cards, and she dominated the game.

Tang Yan asked suspiciously, "Nazha, are you cheating?"

Wang, terrified, wanted to check the cards: "Sister Zha, there's something wrong with you. Why do you always have so many bombs?"

Naza gave a light hum and pulled two packets of candy from her bag: "Because I like popping candy. Do you want a packet?"

""

Seeing the two shake their heads slightly, Nazha didn't mind.

Don't bother calculating it.

"I'll go ask Yunzhou if he wants it."

Naza grabbed a bag of popping candy, walked to the first-class cabin, and knocked on Lu Yunzhou's door.

She quietly opened the electric sliding door, saw Lu Yunzhou sleeping, and gently kissed Lu Yunzhou's cheek.

The next second, Lu Yunzhou suddenly woke up and stared at her in utter shock.

Naza smiled and leaned down to whisper enticingly in Lu Yunzhou's ear, "I got a bag of popping candy, do you want some?"

"I don't like eating sweets."

Lu Yunzhou shook his head hastily and pointed outside: "Please, could you please check the location? Are you going to eat popping candy here?"

Are you that greedy?

"Oh well."

Naza didn't press the matter. She winked at Lu Yunzhou, then reached out and pinched his lower abdomen, clicking her tongue in amazement: "Young man, you're doing well. I'm rooting for you."

Lu Yunzhou politely declined Naza's offer of special in-flight services.

She left looking disappointed.

Not long after, Wang Cheran came over and asked Lu Yunzhou why he was secretly hiding in the first class cabin all by himself.

Last time we went to Milan, Lu Yunzhou clearly liked sitting in business class with me, and the two of us could watch movies and chat together.

"Xiaomeng, it's mainly because I feel guilty towards you."

Upon hearing Lu Yunzhou's words, Wang Churan immediately understood.

She sighed softly and didn't say anything more.

Back in her seat, she glared at Tang Yan. It was all Tang Yan's fault for being the extra third child, making Lu Yunzhou feel guilty and unable to face her.

Tang Yan snorted coldly and got up to go find Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou was already prepared. When he saw Tang Yan push the door open and come in, he pulled her into his arms and gently patted her buttocks with one hand.

Tang Yan was completely stunned, her mind went blank.

Because this was the first time Lu Yunzhou had taken the initiative to have intimate contact with her, and it was so swift and unexpected that it caught her off guard.

At that moment, Tang Yan felt her heart pounding like a drum, and her voice became charming as she gently pushed him away: "What are you doing? Outsiders will see us."

However, Lu Yunzhou ignored everything and his hands began to wander.

Tang Yan hesitated for a moment, then swiftly grabbed Lu Yunzhou's hands. Her face was as red as if it were bleeding, and she whispered, "Don't be so hasty. If someone sees us, we'll be on the front page—be good, just bear with it. I'll give you a surprise when we get to Milan."

After saying that, Tang Yan pretended to be no match for Lu Yunzhou and fled in panic.

But as soon as Tang Yan stepped out of that door, a smile appeared on her lips, and she was in a great mood.

She hummed a little tune as she passed a metallic reflective object, and couldn't help but glance at herself in the mirror, then toss her slightly wavy long hair to the side.

"I'm still very charming."

"That kid, in the end, still fell for my charms."

"Look at how impatient he was just now. Oh, he's so pitiful, I wonder how long he's been holding back."

1

"It must have been really tough on him."

"If I had known he had those feelings for me—I shouldn't have listened to Sister Ji! Maybe we'd already have a baby by now."

Inside the first-class cabin.

After seeing the three off, Lu Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at his increasingly pale face in the mirror, especially the bluish tinge under his eyes.

Lu Yunzhou just looked up his situation online.

This is due to severe sleep deprivation, malnutrition, combined with impaired blood circulation, and possibly even some liver metabolic problems.

In short, his physical condition is not very good right now.

After all, although he had obtained the superpower to slow down aging from the system, his body was still that of an ordinary person.

He must work even harder to extract a physical superpower.

Otherwise, you'll get kicked to death sooner or later!

Lu Yunzhou slept soundly in the first-class cabin of the plane and felt more relaxed than ever before.

After getting a good night's sleep, Lu Yunzhou was in a great mood. When he woke up, he saw a flight attendant gently covering him with a blanket.

"Thanks."

He stretched, got up, glanced at the uniform of the China Eastern Airlines flight attendant, and couldn't help but laugh, "Christine Lacroix."

The flight attendant was momentarily stunned, a question mark appearing in her eyes: "What?"

Lu Yunzhou pointed to her uniform: "The designer of your uniform, like the designer of the Air France flight attendants, is Christine Lacroix."

The tailored cut, elegant lines, and red Chinese knot.

This is a distinctive feature of China Eastern Airlines uniforms.

Most importantly, the designer of this uniform, Christine Lacroix, has become the chief fashion director of the LB Group.

This made Lu Yunzhou feel even better.

"I've learned something new."

The flight attendant smiled at Lu Yunzhou.

Before boarding the plane, the flight attendant had basic information about the first-class passengers. She knew very well that the person in front of her was a superstar in China and also a super rich second-generation.

However, the flight attendant did not rashly hand out her business card in an attempt to flirt with Lu Yunzhou.

Because these flight attendants were also aware that many beautiful female celebrities were sitting in business class, all accompanying Lu Yunzhou to Milan for Fashion Week.

"See you again someday."

China Eastern Airlines uniforms are very nice.

Lu Yunzhou was already looking forward to the new uniforms that Christine Lacroix would design for his company.

As Lu Yunzhou exited the airport, he saw several Audi A8 executive sedans parked in the parking lot outside the VIP terminal.

"Big brother, I saw you from far away!"

Lu Yunzhou had only been out for a short while when Tian Xiwei jumped out of the car and ran towards him.

-

"Don't jump, don't jump."

Lu Yunzhou silently told Tian Xiwei to be more composed.

But when Tian Xiwei saw Lu Yunzhou, she laughed and thought that Lu Yunzhou was expecting something. She then jumped towards Lu Yunzhou with both feet.

Tian Xiwei clung to Lu Yunzhou like a koala.

"Big brother, what's wrong? Why are you so pale? And why are your eyes even a little dark? What did that brat Song Yameng do to you?"

Upon closer inspection of Lu Yunzhou's face, Tian Xiwei realized that Lu Yunzhou's health had decreased by at least 30% compared to a week ago.

It must be because Wang Ran was drinking porridge every day that Lu Yunzhou's supplies weren't replenished.

This is tantamount to sucking Lu Yunzhou's blood. No wonder he's in such a bad state.

"Oda, I also want to know, what exactly did you do?"

Lu Yunzhou put Tian Xiwei down, staring at her with a sharp gaze: "These past two days, Feng Xiaogang has been trending on social media every day, with all sorts of past scandals being dug up and bombarded with them. Don't tell me this is all spontaneously organized by netizens?"

There's nothing wrong with admitting that you've done a good deed.

Tian Xiwei said frankly, "I just called on people in the group to boycott Feng Xiaogang and, incidentally, dig up some dirt on him."

"Our group has fewer than 2000 people."

"However, each of these 2000 sisters also has more than a dozen fan groups, and each fan group has at least 500 members."

people."

"Many of the girls have just started college and are bored, so we just made a casual call to action and it mobilized hundreds of thousands of people."

Hundreds of thousands of people?

That many people are enough to fight a large-scale battle!

Lu Yunzhou was really drunk.

However, due to the upcoming release of his movie, he has been releasing a large amount of promotional materials, which has led to a steady increase in the number of fans checking in on his Weibo account.

It can exceed 50 every day.

This is a unique, top-tier check-in event in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Prior to this, Lu Han's daily traffic was around 30, making him essentially the top-ranked celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry before officially announcing his relationship.

After Lu Han officially announced his relationship, Lu Yunzhou's data began to surpass Lu Han's.

Immediately after the screening of Lu Yunzhou's film, fans who attended the screening went on a frenzy of posting pictures of their purchases online.

Lu Yunzhou's ordinary fans suddenly discovered that their idol was incredibly doting on them, frequently sending them luxury gifts worth thousands of yuan.

Compared to other celebrities' stingy behavior, it's much more satisfying to be a fan of Lu Yunzhou.

You can enjoy the thrill of Lu Yunzhou's career success, and also occasionally admire Lu Yunzhou's stunning looks and incredibly handsome scenes in the movie.

In addition, after successfully buying shares, you can also enjoy exclusive benefits as a fan.

It's a multi-sensory experience!

"Brother, on your way here, I gave Feng Xiaogang another big gift."

Tian Xiwei took out her phone and showed Lu Yunzhou her masterpiece.

Lu Yunzhou curiously took it and glanced at it.

really.

Feng Xiaogang is trending on social media again.

They're all old stuff.

For example, at the celebration banquet, a new actress was forced to dance in public, and Chen Daoming immediately refuted her actions—an incident that many people online know about.

However, not many people have seen the full video.

But today, this video appeared in its entirety as the number one trending topic.

In addition, these people also dragged out and criticized Feng Xiaogang's previous films one by one.

Some of these films received extremely poor reviews, had serious flaws in their script logic, and were publicly criticized by film critics in the industry, making them all targets of criticism.

In addition, Feng Xiaogang's consistently sharp and arrogant remarks in interviews over the years, as well as his various despicable behaviors of belittling his peers and new creators, were also brought out for scrutiny by the entire internet.

In terms of personal conduct, Feng Xiaogang was extremely poor.

In contrast to Lu Yunzhou—as a young man, Lu Yunzhou was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, having made almost no mistakes.

Moreover, Lu Yunzhou's fans deliberately posted photos of the two of them together and then listed their various behaviors below the photos.

Compare various styles.

For casual netizens, seeing the photos of Lu Yunzhou and Feng Xiaogang, the moment they compared them, they already had a preference in their hearts.

People with good looks have an advantage in many ways.

Furthermore, none of the actors who have worked with Lu Yunzhou, even his rivals Dilraba Dilmurat and Yang Mi, have ever spoken ill of him.

From Dilraba's official perspective, the narrative has always been that Lu Yunzhou loved her but could not have her.

Yang Mi's official stance has always been that Tang Yan's various "Tang-style" acting skills are not worthy of Lu Yunzhou's meticulously planned scenes, and that Lu Yunzhou should come to Jiaxing to be her slave.

"Doesn't he try to get the trending topic removed?"

After taking a quick look, Lu Yunzhou felt that Feng Xiaogang was simply a wicked person who could do all sorts of evil.

No one in the world is worse than Feng Xiaogang.

However, Lu Yunzhou still had some doubts, thinking that Feng Xiaogang's public relations team shouldn't be that incompetent, right?

Tian Xiwei revealed a little secret: "Brother, there's a sister in our group who's the daughter of the vice president of Weibo. She swore a solemn oath to protect us for at least 6 hours. Even if the trending topic is taken down, it will be after 6 hours."

Lu Yunzhou was well aware that many of his fans were wealthy young women.

At the movie screening, those young rich women were all dressed in luxury goods, and their bags cost tens of thousands of yuan each.

The past two years have been a golden age for China's economic development, giving rise to many new millionaires in emerging industries.

These wealthy young men themselves had all experienced hardship growing up, so they generally choose to raise their daughters in a lavish manner.

As a result, these young fans are all in very good financial condition.

But Lu Yunzhou still didn't quite understand why the daughter of this mysterious Weibo vice president would cover for him for 6 hours.

Is it just to save face for himself?

There's no need for that.

"Brother, don't overthink it. She did it willingly."

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou still didn't believe her, Tian Xiwei said with deep emotion, "To love someone is like a moth drawn to a flame, needing no reason at all."

The truth is, the rich young woman approached Tian Xiwei, hoping that Tian Xiwei would agree to one condition.

If Lu Yunzhou were to hold a talent show like Wu Yifan one day, Tian Xiwei should be the first to inform her and make sure she gets to drink this porridge.

Faced with this request, Tian Xiwei agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, Lu Yunzhou is unlikely to hold a public talent show.

That rich girl definitely has no chance.

"I have a feeling something's not right. You shouldn't organize these kinds of events next time; they're making me very uneasy."

"In the future, let Sister Ji handle these kinds of things and find a professional team."

"It'll be fine if you just spend some money."

"Don't get yourself involved."

Tian Xiwei was one of his top lieutenants, and Lu Yunzhou was preparing to use her to poach all of Yang Mi's fashion resources. Of course, he didn't want Tian Xiwei to be ruined by such a trivial matter.

"Brother, I've said before that I'd go through fire and water for you, and that's not just empty talk. I, Xiao Tian, ​​am a man of the highest loyalty."

Tian Xiwei's energetic appearance left Lu Yunzhou speechless.

He turned to Ji Rujing and said a few words.

Ji Rujing laughed and said, "Don't worry. It's spread pretty much now, basically the whole internet knows that the Golden Rooster Awards were rigged."

"Feng Xiaogang has become a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting to beat him."

"Next, we need to make the final decision."

At this point, Ji Rujing asked Lu Yunzhou curiously, "When will the Knight's Medal be officially announced?"

Only a stronger form of magic can defeat magic. Only a stronger award can defeat the Golden Rooster Award.

"Tomorrow."

Lu Yunzhou smiled and said, "Let them be happy for one more day."

"Okay, then tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Rujing burst into laughter.

Lu Yunzhou is a very petty person.

The Golden Rooster Awards tricked him, and he came to his senses, ready to crush the Golden Rooster Awards into the mud, rendering them worthless from then on.

Those people in China are ridiculous.

They seem to have forgotten that Lu Yunzhou made a big splash in Milan last Christmas, obtaining the title of Honorary Citizen of Milan, but he still hasn't received a national-level award.

Lu Yunzhou came to Milan Fashion Week specifically for this occasion.

Aside from promoting his own brand and film, the most important thing for him is to come and receive the remaining awards.

"Xiaomeng, Tangtang, you two ride in the same car with me."

Several cars came to pick us up from the airport, but the seating arrangement was quite particular.

Faced with Nazha's expectant gaze, Lu Yunzhou could only turn away cruelly and pull Wang Ran and Tang Yan into the car.

As for Nazha, she followed Tian Xiwei and Ji Rujing to a hotel in the city center.

"Xiaotian, where did Yunzhou and the others go?"

After leaving the airport, Nazha suddenly realized that Lu Yunzhou's car and their car had gone their separate ways.

Tian Xiwei said with a hint of sourness, "Sister Nan bought a villa near the San Siro stadium, so my brother won't have to stay in hotels anymore."

-

what?

Naza paused for a moment, then a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

At the entrance of Lu Yunzhou's new home.

"Brother, welcome home."

As soon as Lu Yunzhou stepped out of the car, he saw Zhang Ruonan waving happily at him from the doorway.

Lu Yunzhou opened his arms wide.

Zhang Ruonan chuckled and rushed over, throwing herself into Lu Yunzhou's arms.

Lu Yunzhou ruffled Zhang Ruonan's hair and asked softly, "Did you wear perfume today?"

Zhang Ruonan nodded and whispered in Lu Yunzhou's ear, "I picked out a lot of items this morning to welcome you. What do you think? Do you like them?"

"certainly."

Lu Yunzhou took Zhang Ruonan's hand and walked alongside her in front.

-

"Brother, let me show you this house."

As Zhang Ruonan led Lu Yunzhou around the house, she brought up some gossip with him.

In April of this year, a Chinese-funded team acquired AC Milan for 740 million euros.

In the same year, Suning acquired Inter Milan.

Near the San Siro stadium, many Chinese business owners arrived and began a shopping spree. From then on, the Milan derby became a Chinese derby.

"Brother, if you want to watch the game, I can easily get you the best seats!"

Zhang Ruonan indirectly showed off to Lu Yunzhou that their family in Milan is now a top-tier wealthy family among the Chinese community.

Although, money may not be the most.

However, he has a very high reputation.

Among the Wenzhou Chinese business community, their family's reputation is second only to that of General Manager Sun of Jintou Group.

Lu Yunzhou's uncle is considering running for councilor in Alexandria!

All these changes were brought about by Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou himself may not have had much experience with all of this, since he has always worked in China.

However, Zhang Ruonan has spent most of the past year in Milan.

The sensation is very noticeable.

"Let's watch the game together sometime."

Lu Yunzhou turned to look at Zhang Ruonan and smiled.

When we first met, she was a shy young girl. She would be at a loss for what to do if I gave her a cell phone. But in just two years, she has become a very typical rich woman.

He exudes a special kind of confidence from the inside out.

On the way, Wang Churan and Tang Yan disliked each other and even had a competitive spirit—but as soon as Zhang Ruonan appeared, the two of them instantly gave up their competitive thoughts.

"Xiaomeng, Sister Tangtang, there are empty rooms upstairs, I've prepared them all for you."

Zhang Ruonan politely and generously introduced the layout of the new home to the two women, letting them choose any room they wanted.

When she turned around, she snorted heavily at Lu Yunzhou, her eyes narrowing slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in them.

However, she didn't say anything unpleasant throughout.

It's much better for a man to bring his mistress home than to be away from home all the time, playing around until he's completely out of it.

At least, all of this was within her control.

"Madam, dinner is ready. Please enjoy your meal with your friends!"

Zhang Ruonan's home also has a specially prepared home kitchen.

After all, she's so busy with work that she can't possibly cook for herself. Besides, eating out is more expensive in Milan. Hiring a live-in chef is actually much more cost-effective.

This is the opposite of the situation in China.

"Becky, go and rest."

Zhang Ruonan invited her family to dinner.

Wang Churan was very arrogant outside, but when she was in front of Zhang Ruonan, she was as docile as a mouse in front of a cat.

Tang Yan felt the atmosphere was a bit strange. Even in idol dramas, she had never acted in such a scene. At this moment, she could only do as the Romans do and eat in silence, just like Wang Cheran.

Because, in a moment, her verdict will be issued!

Whether you agree or disagree, you have to watch Zhang Ruonan's expression!

"Did everyone enjoy dinner? If the taste needs to be adjusted, you can tell Becky. She's the family's live-in chef—given the situation here, unless we go bankrupt, or are completely dissatisfied with her cooking, or she does something unforgivable."

"Besides that, there's a very high chance she'll work for our family for the rest of her life."

Seeing that the group didn't seem very interested in the food and weren't eating much, Zhang Ruonan assumed they were dissatisfied with the chef.

"fine."

Lu Yunzhou was the first to speak: "However, we've been flying all day and are quite tired, so we don't have much of an appetite."

"Me too."

Wang Churan immediately stated that she definitely couldn't say the food was bad. Because it was meticulously prepared by Zhang Ruonan.

If she nitpicks indiscriminately, Zhang Ruonan might hold a grudge against her.

Currently, Zhang Ruonan is the legal representative and is responsible for affixing the official seals to all the family businesses.

The housekeeper's authority is just that strong.

Wang Churan even wondered when she would finally gain the authority to stamp documents for the housekeeper, which would be the true moment when she could turn the tables and become the master of her own destiny.

"I think it's great."

Tang Yan immediately praised it a few times, and then subtly stated, "I haven't eaten such authentic Italian food in a long time."

However, I've been working out a lot lately and have gotten used to eating healthy meals. I'm not daring to eat too much today, for fear of exceeding the calorie limit.

"As long as everyone is satisfied."

Zhang Ruonan smiled sweetly, stood up, and walked towards Tang Yan: "Sister Tang, although you are older than us, your contributions are also greater."

"We all know very well that without you, Yunzhou wouldn't have gotten to where it is today. We wouldn't be living such a good life. The Lu family wouldn't have the fame and wealth they have now."

"I would very much like to welcome you into this family."

"However, every country has its laws, and every family has its rules. Once you're in this family, you have to abide by the rules. I hope you understand."

At this point, Zhang Ruonan stood behind Lu Yunzhou, gently placed her hands on Lu Yunzhou's shoulders, and smiled at Tang Yan, saying, "Sister Tang, if you're willing—from now on, we'll be family."

Tang Yan glanced at Lu Yunzhou and reached out her hand.

Lu Yunzhou held Tang Yan's hand on the table.

Tang Yan's eyes instantly reddened, and she said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Of course I'm willing."

After waiting for so long, this day has finally come.

"welcome."

Zhang Ruonan nodded slightly and turned to look at Wang Ran.

Wang Churan held a spoon and tapped it in her bowl for a long time, clearly unwilling and resentful.

However, Lu Yunzhou had already spoken to her beforehand and told her about his difficulties.

She knew she couldn't stop them, and reluctantly said, "I have no objection."

No objection, but not welcome.

"From now on, Tangtang will officially be a member of our family. That's settled."

Zhang Ruonan pinched Lu Yunzhou's shoulder hard and sat back down in her seat.

"That's all for the family matters."

Zhang Ruonan picked up the spoon, tapped the cup lightly, and said in a serious tone, "Now, I'll start talking about business."

77

"In my capacity as the executive director and legal representative of LB Group, I am convening this joint board meeting. All of you present here are important shareholders of the company."

"Now, I propose a resolution."

"Next, Mr. Lu Yunzhou, the company's major shareholder, must submit a proposal to the board of directors if he wants to introduce any individual shareholders."

"The three of us each have a ticket."

"Mr. Lu Yunzhou must approve all three parties before a new legal entity or a new individual shareholder can be introduced."

"Regarding the above resolution—we will now begin voting!"

After Zhang Ruonan finished speaking, she immediately raised her hand.

Wang Churan and Tang Yan were still wondering what this matter meant and what it had to do with them.

Zhang Ruonan has always been in charge of handling matters related to the LB Group.

However, after thinking about it for a while, the two suddenly realized that Zhang Ruonan's words were not about company matters.

Rather, it means that if Lu Yunzhou wants to introduce any new important partners, all three of them must agree. They can no longer launch surprise attacks and act first and ask questions later, as they have done so now.

Previously, this matter had a backdoor, and Lu Yunzhou had complete autonomy in making the decision!

But now, Zhang Ruonan has blocked this back door.

From now on, this is no longer Lu Yunzhou's private matter, but a public matter involving the interests of all the company's shareholders.

"I agree with Sister Nan's suggestion!"

Thinking of this, Wang suddenly raised his hand, wishing he could lift his feet as well.

"I agree! Nan Nan's suggestion is excellent!"

Tang Yan had already taken over and entered the family, so she definitely didn't want a fourth son to appear. At this moment, she raised her hand in agreement without hesitation.

"Passed unanimously."

Zhang Ruonan clapped her hands lightly, then turned to look at Lu Yunzhou: "Mr. Lu Yunzhou, the major shareholder, what do you have to say?"

Lu Yunzhou was immediately put in an awkward position.

Seeing the three of them staring intently at him, Lu Yunzhou could only raise his hand: "I also agree with President Zhang's proposal."

Although he has a mistress outside, if all three wives in his family disagree, the company could be ruined by these women.

Can he still be this carefree?

In life, one must always make choices.

"I knew it, my brother is the most reasonable."

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou had agreed, Zhang Ruonan's serious expression vanished instantly, and she returned to her adorable angelic self.

Just a moment ago, she almost transformed.

"Sister Tangtang, tonight I'll prepare a ceremony for you, to pray to our ancestors and report to them. Welcome to this family."

"Wishing you a speedy delivery of your precious child."

Zhang Ruonan generously did not take over Lu Yunzhou, but instead gave Tang Yan the right to drink porridge for the next few days.

This surprised Tang Yan greatly, and filled her with endless emotion.

She shook her head slightly and said, "Nannan, it's not easy for you to be alone abroad. Let Yunzhou keep you company these next few days. We'll be best friends for life, no need to worry about just a day or two."

"Stop arguing. Tonight is your special day. I won't argue with you." After saying that, Zhang Ruonan got up to prepare the items for the ancestral worship ceremony.

"Brother, we still need Sister Nan to cure you."

Although Wang Ran reluctantly brought in Tang Yan as a mistress, he completely eliminated the possibility of a fourth mistress. After careful consideration, he realized it wasn't a complete loss.

"Yunzhou, remember to settle down in the future and stop flaunting your charm indiscriminately."

Tang Yan covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhang Ruonan is truly remarkable; she turned a family matter into a public affair.

Everyone here is a major shareholder of the LB Group. Even Wang Ran owns an overseas gold trading company.

If Lu Yunzhou makes them unhappy, the losses will be huge.

"understood."

Lu Yunzhou feigned helplessness, but in his heart he thought that Zhang Ruonan was still more capable.

He was initially worried that Tang Yan and Wang Ran would fight in private, but Zhang Ruonan brought the matter into the open.

This instantly united Tang Yan and Wang Ran, turning them into a community of shared interests, and it's estimated that they won't fight amongst themselves anymore.

"Everyone, come over here."

"7

Zhang Ruonan even brought out the ancestral tablets.

The sense of ritual is off the charts.

The four of them knelt before the ancestral tablets and swore an oath to their ancestors.

From then on, although they had different blood, they became a family.

As a family, we should never hold each other back or betray one another. Even if there are minor conflicts, we should discuss them openly and never let outsiders laugh at us.

"Sister Nan, I admire no one but you."

This was the second time Wang Churan had experienced such a sacred ceremony, but even so, she still couldn't understand what Zhang Ruonan was saying in Wenzhou dialect.

However, this kind of ritual is very mystical and has a strong religious atmosphere.

"Nannan, I'm the older sister outside, but at home you're the eldest. If you get pregnant first, I'll put aside all my work to take care of you during your postpartum period."

Tang Yan also expressed her opinion.

Although the family atmosphere was a bit strange, Zhang Ruonan seemed used to it. Tang Yan had also spent some time in Hong Kong, where there were similar situations.

She's seen her share of big events.

"It's getting late, let's go to the bridal chamber."

Zhang Ruonan smiled at Tang Yan, then gave Lu Yunzhou a look.

"Xiao Nan, you should get some rest too."

Lu Yunzhou led Tang Yan upstairs.

Tang Yan kept turning back, her eyes filled with doubt. She never expected Zhang Ruonan to be so magnanimous, which made her feel very guilty.

"Sister Nan!"

Wang Churan was so anxious downstairs that she jumped up and down.

Zhang Ruonan glared at Wang Cheran: "I haven't even said anything to you yet—look at the mess you've made."

Lu Yunzhou looked much more haggard than he did last year.

Zhang Ruonan was heartbroken to see this; the culprit was Wang Cheran.

"You should get some rest too."

Zhang Ruonan gave Wang Ran a knowing look, then turned and went back to her room.

After closing the door, she felt incredibly wronged, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. However, she dared not make a sound, lest she be laughed at by others.

She was so righteous in front of Wang Churan just now, but she secretly cried. Wouldn't Wang Churan laugh at her to death?

At this moment, Zhang Ruonan buried her face in the pillow, making whimpering sounds like a wounded female animal, and soon her tears soaked the pillow.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open.

Lu Yunzhou tiptoed in and locked the door tightly behind him.

He took off his shoes, slowly climbed onto the bed, and hugged Zhang Ruonan from behind.

Zhang Ruonan sensed the familiar aura emanating from Lu Yunzhou, struggled slightly, and said irritably, "Get away from me."

The next second, Lu Yunzhou really walked away.

"You rascal, you're really leaving?"

When Zhang Ruonan realized that there was no one behind him, he was immediately enraged and wished he could rush out and chase after Lu Yunzhou.

As a result, the moment she turned her head, she discovered that Lu Yunzhou hadn't left at all; he was right there by the bed watching her.

The two exchanged a glance. Zhang Ruonan felt incredibly embarrassed and, in a fit of anger, retorted, "Why are you looking at me like that? Haven't you ever seen anyone cry before?"

"no."

Lu Yunzhou shook his head seriously: "I've never seen such a lovely girl in my life, crying so sadly. She even drew me down from the second floor."

Although this jerk is a bit annoying, he has a really nice way of speaking.

"You rascal, come here."

At that moment, Zhang Ruonan pulled Lu Yunzhou over, grabbed his collar, and dragged him close. She whispered through gritted teeth in Lu Yunzhou's ear, "You bastard! You'll make up for everything you owe me these past few months."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzhou was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.

The rice is crying!

Who pushed my little angel Seven to this point?

It seems I can't stay abroad anymore. A few months away feels like it's costing me several months of my lifespan.

As dawn broke, sunlight streamed through the corner of the curtains.

Before we knew it, it was already dawn.

Lu Yunzhou hadn't slept at all last night, and right now he felt dizzy and his temples were throbbing.

Zhang Ruonan was so angry yesterday that she almost wanted to tear him to pieces.

"Brother, thank you for your hard work."

Zhang Ruonan opened her eyes refreshed, the fierce aura in them completely soothed by Lu Yunzhou, and she transformed back into a cute and sweet little angel.

Seeing Lu Yunzhou's dazed expression, she chuckled, "Brother, I'll have Becky cook you some tonic. It'll give you a little boost. Let's continue tonight!"

If this continues, will I even survive?

Lu Yunzhou decided that he would start working hard from today.

To avoid dying at the age of 40, I must quickly develop a super physique talent.

Otherwise, if they drink porridge too quickly, even if his family were big landowners, they couldn't withstand such a fuss and would go bankrupt sooner or later.

"Xiao Nan, I have something serious to tell you. Don't be angry."

1

At that moment, Lu Yunzhou took out his phone and found a WeChat message.

This is a WeChat message sent by Zhang Ruonan's third sister, Zhang Qianyi, to Lu Yunzhou, asking him when he would go bankrupt and run away.

Although she's only a freshman in high school, she's already saved up some money on her own. She's just waiting for her brother-in-law to come over!

"You brat."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ruonan was filled with rage. She calculated that it should be the weekend in China today, and her younger sister should be playing at home.

She used Lu Yunzhou's phone to make a WeChat call.

When the third sister received Lu Yunzhou's WeChat call, she squealed with delight and excitedly asked, "Brother-in-law, are you coming to see me? I'll go tidy up the room right now."

"Go pack your things quickly."

Zhang Ruonan suppressed her extreme anger and said gently, "Your brother-in-law has arranged for you to attend a high school in Munich. You can come to Munich to study anytime. After graduating from high school, you should attend the Technical University of Munich, which is the best university in Germany, comparable to Tsinghua and Peking Universities in China."

The third sister, however, thought that her brother-in-law, Lu Yunzhou, was too kind to her, and happily said, "Eldest sister, please thank your brother-in-law for me. Also, thank you for being so understanding. I will take good care of you in the future."

"You're welcome."

Zhang Ruonan smiled faintly.

After hanging up the phone, a devilish coldness appeared on her lips.

You brat, with your IQ, if you get into the Technical University of Munich, you'll never graduate!

at the same time.

Feng Xiaogang discovered that his situation was starting to worsen.

"What?"

"The new project has been cancelled?"

"Let me rest for a while?"

"What are you doing? Just because of my bad public image, you want to force me to retire?"

"I'd like to ask you this in return: when has public opinion ever been favorable for me all these years? Do you really take those online opinions seriously?"

Faced with Feng Xiaogang's question, an internet investor on the other end of the phone sighed softly: "Times have changed."

Damn. Online opinions really do affect box office. Old Feng, you'd better keep a low profile. Be careful not to get hit by a boomerang.

Fuck!

After hanging up the phone, Feng Xiaogang was so angry he wanted to smash it.

I never expected that these investors would be so timid.

Are you afraid to invest at the slightest sign of trouble?

After much thought, I still have to go back to those old real estate developers.

Feng Xiaogang searched through his contacts and suddenly found someone. He grinned, revealing a small buck tooth, and asked, "Mr. Chen, would you be interested in investing in my new movie?"

"Want to stuff someone in? Who? Liu Yifei?"

"Haha—just kidding."

"Yang Caiyu? Definitely no problem. She's a great actress. We worked together on 'Youth' not long ago! This movie is sure to be a hit, trust me this time."

"Those little online opinions are nothing to worry about. Don't take them to heart. If those people have the guts to really knock me off my feet, I'll call them 'Grandpa'."

"Okay, let's talk about it in detail later!"

After hanging up the phone, Feng Xiaogang leisurely prepared to find a young model to have some fun that night.

Anyway, his wife is in the US, so it's none of his business.

"Wait a minute?"

But at that very moment, several congratulatory news messages popped up on Feng Xiaogang's phone, all with very formal official titles.

[Congratulations to our young Chinese artist, Mr. Lu Yunzhou, on being awarded the Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy!]

[Congratulations to our young Chinese artist, Mr. Lu Yunzhou, on being awarded the title of Honorary Academician by the Florence Academy of Fine Arts in Italy, and simultaneously receiving the Michelangelo Medal of Arts from the same academy!]

[Congratulations to Mr. Lu Yunzhou, a young Chinese artist, on becoming a lifetime research fellow at the Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science in Milan, and on receiving the Leonardo da Vinci International All-Round Genius Art Gold Medal from the organization!]

With so many titles, Feng Xiaogang's eyes were almost dazzled.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things, but after confirming it several times, he knew he was doomed.

wrong.

He's not completely finished; at most, he's half-crippled.

As a director, as long as I can still make great films, I certainly won't let this little thing ruin my career.

However, the Golden Rooster Awards are most likely over!

Lu Yunzhou single-handedly ruined it!

Lu Yunzhou, who won nothing at the Golden Rooster Awards, turned to the international arena and won many prestigious super awards.

The Order of Merit of Italy.

Honorary member of the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, and recipient of the Order of Michelangelo.

Lifetime researcher at the Leonardo da Vinci Museum, and recipient of the Leonardo da Vinci International Gold Medal for Artistic Genius!

Which of these awards and honors doesn't completely outshine the Golden Rooster Awards?

The combined achievements of all the judges at the Golden Rooster Awards in the field of art probably don't match what Lu Yunzhou achieved in just one day!

"Old Feng!"

Just then, Feng Xiaogang received a phone call from his wife in New York.

"Old Feng, you've been hung up in Times Square, New York!"

"You became China's number one artist, overshadowing Lu Yunzhou, and won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director, leaving Lu Yunzhou without a single award. Even Leonardo da Vinci probably couldn't have done that."

Depend on!

That was a ruthless move.

If someone says he's not very capable, Feng Xiaogang will just laugh it off.

However, some people are doing the opposite, praising him as China's number one artist and hanging him firmly on a telephone pole, making him a target for countless people.

Feng Xiaogang suddenly felt cold in his hands and feet.

That's it, he's famous all over the world!

He's going to lose face big time!
