Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 128 The Most Beautiful Legs in 4000 Years, Selected by Lu Yunzhou!

The casting for the drama "Queen of Tears" has entered its final stage.

Lu Yunzhou's plan is to get everything done before this week, and then they will go directly to Italy to film next week.

But things still went wrong.

"Brother, thank you for your kindness—but I really don't have the talent to be an actor. I've tried my best, but to no avail."

Last summer, before terminating his contract with his former agency, Cai Xukun used Lu Yunzhou's name to get a role in the web series "I Won't Be Bullied by Girls" and became the male lead.

This is his first real acting role in his life.

Before starring in this web series, he thought he was also very talented as an actor—who knew that after the web series was released, it received a lot of negative reviews.

Wang Churan and Tian Xiwei mocked him in the group chat every day, saying he was so bad at the game.

He initially denied it, but later created several fake accounts to try and stir up trouble online, saying that the male lead Cai Xukun in the drama was exceptionally well-acted—but he was brutally attacked by netizens!

The netizen is unlikely to be Wang Ran's alternate account; they are probably quite neutral.

Then he regained consciousness.

That's how people are. If you don't have the talent for a particular field, forcing yourself to work hard won't bring you applause and flowers, but only endless ridicule.

Since he'll still be ridiculed even after trying his best, he might as well skip the process—no, he should avoid giving others the opportunity to laugh at him!

He chose not to be an actor.

Of course, Cai Xukun couldn't refuse Lu Yunzhou's enthusiastic invitation, as that would hurt their brotherhood.

So he pretended to be very tired and said, "Brother, I've only slept three or four hours a day these past two days to record that theme song. I've never worked this hard in my life."

"If I also have to find time to film TV dramas, not to mention that the production team may not agree, I am more worried that I will be unable to balance both of them."

"We won't win the championship in 'Idol Producer'."

"Brother, I can't perform well in your TV series either."

"You can't have your cake and eat it too, and I'm obviously better at being an idol—not so good at being an actor."

"Anyway, thank you for your kindness, brother."

Cai Xukun subtly indicated that he was not suited to be an actor, and that Lu Yunzhou's forced promotion of him would not end well.

It's very likely that it will also ruin his own TV series.

"Alright."

Cai Xukun refused once again, leaving Lu Yunzhou speechless as he was invited to film a TV series.

However, Cai Xukun's words make a lot of sense.

The idea that someone can become a top star just because of a single meme is wishful thinking on their part, and that they're trying to steer him towards becoming an actor.

"After recording the theme song tomorrow, I'm going to Italy. Take care of yourself."

Gently patting Cai Xukun on the shoulder, Lu Yunzhou said earnestly, "Don't argue with Fan Chenchen—many people have told me that you two have fought several times in private."

When this was mentioned, Cai Xukun was speechless.

Lu Yunzhou wasn't an outsider either, so Cai Xukun didn't hide anything and immediately complained, "That Shandong white goose, Fan Chenchen, is out of her mind. She's always saying in the dorm that I'm a freeloader and that I climbed the social ladder by relying on my girlfriend—"

There are three major tyrants in the countryside.

A stray dog, a rooster, and a big white goose.

Lu Yunzhou never expected that these two, who were complete strangers before, would actually start arguing on a variety show.

Could it be a clash of attributes?

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. To ascend to the champion's throne, you will inevitably face endless rumors and slander from your opponents."

"This is called transcending tribulation!"

May you, having weathered countless storms, return still a youth at heart.

Youth is a mindset, a vibrant, upward-looking, and never-give-up spirit.

Lu Yunzhou hopes that Cai Xukun can always maintain this mindset.

This was his best blessing for Cai Xukun.

"Thank you, brother. Take care."

Cai Xukun hugged Lu Yunzhou, and soon Lu Yunzhou's phone rang again. He wondered which vixen it was this time.

He was used to this situation.

Get some rest.

Cai Xukun is a trainee in Class A, so he naturally has a lot of contact with Lu Yunzhou, the producer representative.

Lu Yunzhou was not acting out of personal favoritism.

Lu Yunzhou returned to his hotel and immediately called Ji Rujing: "Sister Ji, Ah Kun probably doesn't have time for the second male lead role. Who are the backup options?"

"Chen Xingxu has just made a comeback with his role as Yang Kang in Li Yitong's version of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes.' He's starting to gain some popularity."

"Zhang Wanyi, the TV series 'Tracks in the Snowy Forest' is currently airing. He is a newcomer, and he looks a bit gentle and weak, with a hint of grievance in his eyes."

"Guo Qilin————"

Upon hearing the name, Lu Yunzhou immediately decided, "Let's find Guo Qilin! The other two don't resemble Xiaomeng's younger brother at all."

Guo Qilin is absolutely brilliant at playing the role of a funny younger brother.

"The Queen of Tears" needs some comedic elements. Besides the information asymmetry humor inherent in the plot, it also needs one—

Comedy relief.

Guo Qilin is a perfect fit.

Most importantly, Guo Qilin also encountered property disputes in a wealthy family in real life—and he happened to be the one who was wronged.

Their mindsets also perfectly align.

"it is good."

"I'll have someone contact Guo Qilin."

Guo Qilin already has a broker's license, so he is his own broker.

Lu Yunzhou and Wu Jing had a good relationship, and Wu Jing also had a good relationship with the Deyun Society. Not long after, Ji Rujing found Guo Qilin's contact information.

"Xiao Guo".

"We have a TV series and would like to invite you to play the second male lead. It will probably require you to go on a business trip to Italy for about a month."

"I'll be able to come back before the Lunar New Year."

"You have a wife, currently tentatively named Zhu Xudan. Have you seen the drama 'Eternal Love'? She plays Xuan Nu in it. She's the kind of wicked woman."

Zhu Xudan's portrayal of Xuan Nu was quite good.

He's like a madman, hysterically evil, but incredibly devoted to love. This kind of villain is hard for viewers to hate; they just feel sorry for him.

"Sis, you didn't dial the wrong number, did you? Are you really asking me to play the second male lead? The idol drama where Zhou Ge is the male lead?"

Guo Qilin never imagined that Lu Yunzhou would contact him to film such a top-tier idol drama.

His resources are really scarce right now.

Basically, they just play minor roles in low-budget online dramas. And those dramas sound like they have no future, so acting in them is a waste of time.

He only became known to the public after playing the role of Fan Sizhe in "Joy of Life". Before that, he was basically unknown.

"Thanks for your guidance, Brother Zhou!"

"I packed my bags immediately and came to Shanghai overnight to report for duty."

For Guo Qilin right now, this opportunity is like a pie falling from the sky—and he's landed a supporting role!

He's going to be famous!

Guo Qilin was so eager to go to Shanghai to report for duty that he waited for half a year, and then he was directly promoted by Lu Yunzhou. Surely he would become a third-rate star.

In contrast, Zhu Xudan encountered a little trouble.

Two days ago, after receiving Ji Rujing's contract, she went back to the company with her agent to get it stamped.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruoyao, who was in charge of artist management, turned on Zhu Xudan and threatened her with the terms of the management contract, forbidding her from taking the job.

If she takes on outside business without authorization, violating the non-compete clause, she will have to pay the company an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract.

From the company's perspective, Zhao Ruoyao certainly didn't want her artists to work like slaves for Lu Yunzhou.

But from a personal perspective, Zhu Xudan certainly wanted to film this drama.

Because this drama has a high probability of becoming a hit, and she is the second female lead, it would be a qualitative change in her career in terms of resources.

She might rise to fame overnight with this role and become well-known in the entertainment industry!

In the acting industry, the head effect is very obvious.

Actresses without representative works will be forgotten 90% of the time after 5 years.

But actresses with representative works can stay in this industry for at least 10 years until their acting skills are criticized and their appearance gradually ages, at which point they will slowly retire from the entertainment industry.

The two earn vastly different amounts of money.

This is a real struggle for interests—not to mention Zhao Ruoyao stopping her, even if the Heavenly King himself came, he would have to get out of her way.

However, Zhu Xudan was also well aware that if she took on this project privately, she would definitely be blacklisted by the company, and might even be secretly targeted with smear campaign articles.

People will post all sorts of ungrateful, heartless, and other such character traits everywhere.

It completely ruined her public image.

She was just a minor actress with no powerful backers or wealthy patrons, so of course she had no power to resist.

However, she also learned her lesson and rushed to find Lu Yunzhou that very night.

2 points in the early hours.

Lu Yunzhou was fast asleep when he suddenly received a call from Dilraba, who told him that Zhu Xudan was waiting for him in the hotel lobby.

-

I want to see him.

"Okay, I'll go check on her. What's wrong with her in the middle of the night?"

Left with no other choice, Lu Yunzhou got up, put on a coat, and went to the lobby to see what was going on.

"Thump."

With no one around, Zhu Xudan deliberately found a spot out of the camera's view and gave Lu Yunzhou a deep bow. "Are you crazy? Get up!"

Lu Yunzhou was a little sleepy, but when he saw Zhu Xudan come up and perform a grand salute, he immediately became much more awake.

"Are you having low blood sugar? Are you delirious from hunger? I'll treat you to a midnight snack."

Since they were already up, and Lu Yunzhou was a little hungry, he took Zhu Xudan to a convenience store outside the hotel and bought some oden.

He didn't eat it all by himself; he also bought a portion for Zhu Xudan.

Zhu Xudan hurriedly declined, saying, "I don't need it."

Lu Yunzhou ignored Zhu Xudan, placed the large cup of oden in front of her, and casually said, "It's so cold outside, you're kneeling in front of me with low blood sugar, and you still say you don't need it? Don't be polite with me. I can afford a dozen yuan's worth of oden."

When it comes to being a good person, Lu Yunzhou is truly impeccable.

Instead of deliberately embarrassing herself, she said that she was delirious from low blood sugar and that's why she knelt in front of Lu Yunzhou.

Despite the cold weather, Zhu Xudan felt warm inside.

"Thank you, Little Boat Brother."

Zhu Xudan lowered her head, picked up the skewer, and ate it in small bites for a while.

Halfway through the meal, tears began to stream down her face, and she sobbed silently to herself.

In contrast, Lu Yunzhou was as quiet as a scumbag, leisurely eating his oden and enjoying the deliciousness of the dish.

"That's not how you shed tears."

While eating, Lu Yunzhou analyzed from a professional perspective: "Don't just stand there and cry your eyes out. You need to build up some tension."

"I don't know what happened to you, and you just started crying right away—it feels so forced."

"You have to get my attention first, tell me your story, and then in the process, you have to observe which part of your story interests me—then, use that part that interests me to emphasize and describe it, evoke my emotions, and make me empathize with you."

"Once I've become involved, you start to cry. Use your tears as a weapon to pierce through my psychological defenses. That's when your power is greatest."

"I'll remember that, you have to act like that next time."

After being ridiculed by Lu Yunzhou, Zhu Xudan was stunned for a moment, then helplessly stopped her tearful attack.

She stood there dumbfounded, like a clown.

Are there really men like this in the world? They don't care at all when a girl cries, and they even stand by and analyze the situation?

This is the devil.

No wonder Dilraba was tortured to the point of near death by him.

He had her mindset completely under his control from beginning to end. After being tortured for two years, Dilraba seemed to have developed Stockholm Syndrome. She felt uncomfortable if she wasn't tortured for a day.

"Brother Xiao Chuan, I really want to act in your drama, but the company won't allow it and even said they'd blacklist me."

In front of Lu Yunzhou, Zhu Xudan felt like a clown. Her acting skills were inadequate, her mentality was completely manipulated, and even her little thoughts were probably seen through by Lu Yunzhou.

In this situation, there's no point in continuing to pretend.

She might as well just tell the truth.

"Do you have damaging information about yourself that the company possesses?"

Lu Yunzhou went to the convenience store and got two more bottles of Assam milk tea, handing one to Zhu Xudan.

When a company wants to blacklist an artist, it's simply by threatening them with the negative information the artist has, making them afraid to resist.

If an artist resists, the company will ruin them.

However, this situation rarely occurs.

Because artists aren't stupid. Since they know they're going to be ruined, they might as well go all the way and expose all the company's illegal practices.

We'll all die together.

A lose-lose situation is better than a win-lose situation.

"It seems not."

Zhu Xudan slowly shook her head.

She's a seemingly shrewd and vicious actress, but she's actually a fool.

Just like Gulnazar.

Most actresses in the industry who seem shrewd are actually quite naive.

On the contrary, those who seem silly, who specialize in comedy, who specialize in making people laugh, or who act as clowns on variety shows—are actually the most shrewd group.

"Little Zhu, I sense that you're a bit confused—"

Lu Yunzhou told Zhu Xudan not to rush, but to think carefully about what Jiahang could get to threaten her career.

Seeing that Zhu Xudan was about to explain, Lu Yunzhou gently waved his hand: "Don't speak yet, finish what you have on hand. When you're full, your brain will have better blood flow, and your thinking will be more active."

"oh."

Seeing Lu Yunzhou so leisurely and unhurried, as if he had victory in his grasp, Zhu Xudan's anxious mood gradually calmed down.

She calmed herself down and quietly finished her meal.

Incidentally, she also obediently cleaned up the trash that Lu Yunzhou was holding.

"Little Zhu, what is your dream?"

Lu Yunzhou wiped his mouth with a tissue and activated his immortal mode.

He turned his head, and seeing Zhu Xudan's somewhat bewildered expression, chuckled softly: "You're not going to be Jiahang's slave for the rest of your life, are you?"

His smile was just right.

In the cold, dark night, when Zhu Xudan was most lost and helpless and needed security the most, this smile seemed to provide her with a guiding light.

"I want to be a good actor and earn lots and lots of money. I don't want to go back to my hometown. I want to buy a house in Yanjing and settle down here."

"If I could, I would also like to have a sweet romance."

Perhaps it was because Lu Yunzhou was on a completely different level from him, and no matter how ridiculous his dreams were, Lu Yunzhou would never laugh at him.

At this moment, Zhu Xudan let loose and started rambling on about things that might seem rather boring to others.

"A very simple dream."

Lu Yunzhou nodded slightly, threw the beverage bottle into the trash can, turned around, and said seriously, "Who's stopping you from coming to my film crew? Call her now."

"Now?"

Zhu Xudan was stunned for a moment.

She checked the time on her phone; it was 3 a.m.

If she calls Zhao Ruoyao at this time, Zhao Ruoyao will kill her!

"If you're not going to play, I'm going back to sleep. Tomorrow, when I wake up, I'll have Sister Ji replace you in that role. Replace you with Zhang Tianai."

Zhang Tianai was originally cast as a secretary, but Lu Yunzhou felt that given Zhang Tianai's current status and popularity, it was a bit inappropriate for her to play this role.

Let Chen Yuqi play the role of the secretary, and then replace Zhang Tianai with the second female lead.

A pathetic, scheming woman in need of redemption.

Zhang Tianai's performance in this role is practically a natural fit.

"I'll fight! Little Boat Bro, don't go yet."

Having missed this opportunity, Zhu Xudan realized that she would most likely rot away at Jiahang for the rest of her life.

Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, she immediately made her choice.

"Beep beep".

At 3 a.m., Zhu Xudan gritted her teeth and called Zhao Ruoyao.

After a while, Zhao Ruoyao's voice, booming like a gong, burst out: "Zhu Xudan, are you crazy? If you can't give me a proper reason now, and instead try to play a prank on me, I'm telling you, you're dead!"

Zhu Xudan gave Lu Yunzhou an awkward smile, then said into the phone, "President Zhao, I'm having a late-night snack with Brother Xiao Chuan. He has something to tell you."

Zhao Ruoyao said with a disdainful look, "What small boat or big boat? Don't think you can act tough at the company just because you've hooked up with some rich second-generation. Let me tell you, that kind of thing won't work on me!"

Zhu Xudan gave Lu Yunzhou a wronged smile, then lowered her head, a hint of vengeful pleasure in her eyes: "President Zhao, please calm down. The person I had supper with is Director Lu Yunzhou!"

Who?

Lu Yunzhou? Little Boat Guy?

What the hell!

You little bitch, how dare you scheme against me!

Upon hearing that it was Lu Yunzhou, Zhao Ruoyao instantly snapped out of her daze, her tone slightly ingratiating: "Director Lu, what's going on? Why are you having late-night snacks with Xiao Zhu from our company?"

"Mr. Zhao."

Lu Yunzhou snorted a few times, deliberately saying the opposite of what he meant: "I clearly agreed to let Xiao Zhu play the second female lead in my drama. Is there some procedural problem on your end that caused her to misunderstand and think that she failed the audition, and even came to the hotel entrance, kneeling and begging me to give her another chance."

You're really kneeling!

Zhao Ruoyao began to look at Zhu Xudan with new respect.

Whether it's Dilraba or Gulnazar, saying they went to Lu Yunzhou's door and knelt down to beg him for a chance is just a joke.

As a result, Zhu Xudan, that fool, actually went and knelt down.

And it really works.

"Director Lu, it was my mistake that caused Xiaodan some misunderstanding. I apologize on her behalf."

If Lu Yunzhou were to immediately question Jiahang Media about whether they didn't want to cooperate with him, or whether Zhao Ruoyao was interfering, it would be a mistake.

Zhao Ruoyao will probably have to put up with it to save face.

However, Lu Yunzhou came up and said that some misunderstandings had led Zhu Xudan to take such an extreme step. He even asked on Zhu Xudan's behalf if there was a mistake in the process. Clearly, this was to give Zhao Ruoyao a way out.

If Zhao Ruoyao chooses to continue to stand her ground and ignore Lu Yunzhou, then this matter will have nothing to do with Zhu Xudan.

Instead, it turned into a conflict between Lu Yunzhou and Zhao Ruoyao.

At that time, Yang Mi, Zeng Jia, and another investor will all blame Zhao Ruoyao for being ignorant and offending Lu Yunzhou for no reason over such a trivial matter.

The shift in the conflict made Zhao Ruoyao immediately sense danger.

She immediately chose to back down gracefully, saying with a smile, "I'll stamp the contract as soon as I get to work tomorrow."

"Xiao Dan doesn't need to come back—she'll stay with you tonight."

In front of Zhu Xudan, Zhao Ruoyao, who was fierce and aggressive, immediately transformed into a gentle and caring older sister after meeting Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou didn't even need to say a word; she immediately gave in.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Lu Yunzhou gave a soft "hmm," then added meaningfully, "Little Zhu, I'd be very happy to have you come over for a late-night snack with me tonight."

What does that mean?

Are you happy that I came over to have a late-night snack with you?

What's so great about eating late-night snacks?

Understood!

She's your little sweetheart now.

That bitch Zhu Xudan is really something, she's even faster than Dilraba Dilmurat.

"As long as Director Lu is happy."

Zhao Ruoyao then praised Zhu Xudan, saying, "If Xiaodan does anything wrong, Director Lu, please give her some pointers. Young people are often immature. A little guidance will do the trick."

"Um.

""

Lu Yunzhou gave a nonchalant snort and then hung up the phone for Zhu Xudan.

He shrugged and said, "Alright, the matter is resolved. Go find a place to sleep."

"Next time something happens, remember to tell me during the day, and don't wake me up in the middle of the night. I hate it when people disturb my sleep."

After leaving a message, Lu Yunzhou turned and left.

"here."

Zhu Xudan sat in the convenience store for a while before her agent came to pick her up.

"Sister Zhu, how is it?"

The agent looked at Zhu Xudan with some concern.

Why didn't you go back with Lu Yunzhou? If you had gone back with Lu Yunzhou, this matter would have been settled.

"It's done. Mr. Zhao is like a mouse in front of a cat. He only said one sentence, and Mr. Zhao immediately gave in."

Zhu Xudan still didn't quite understand why Zhao Ruoyao was so respectful towards Lu Yunzhou.

Her tone even carried a hint of ingratiation.

The agent knew the reason and gave a brief explanation.

"Sister Zhu, 'Queen of Tears' has a co-production company, Tencent. Tencent has already secured the exclusive online streaming rights for this show."

"Many of our company's upcoming dramas will be produced in collaboration with Tencent. Tencent will send a production team and director, while our company will provide the actors."

"When penguins are with us, they are the supreme client. They can pick and choose any actor from our company."

"But when the penguin was facing our great director Lu, although it wouldn't be called humble, it was like facing a male god, and it adopted a very low posture."

"If Mr. Zhao offends Director Lu over a trivial matter—our great director's next work could turn around and run to other platforms to specifically target Tencent's big-budget productions."

"That would turn into a chaotic war. That's not a good thing for penguins."

"President Zhao wouldn't risk offending Director Lu over such a trivial matter. It's not that she's unwilling, but rather that the platform would teach her a lesson!"

If Yang Mi were to switch jobs, Zhao Ruoyao would definitely not let Lu Yunzhou succeed so easily—but Zhu Xudan is insignificant to the company.

Moreover, Zhu Xudan didn't run away; she just went to film for Lu Yunzhou.

Other shareholders would be very happy to hear this news, because Jiahang Company has finally started to cooperate with Lu Yunzhou.

This is a good sign.

Only Zhao Ruoyao, who manages artist affairs, would know that the people at Jiahang were restless—Zhu Xudan's trip to Lu Yunzhou's side was like throwing a meat bun to a dog, never to return.

"I think I understand Sister Dai Si a little better now."

Zhu Xudan was a little puzzled at the time, wondering why Dai Si was so determined to run to Lu Yunzhou's side.

Isn't it all the same whether you're working like a slave or not?

Now, Zhu Xudan knows why Dai Si spent millions to terminate the contract and went to Lu Yunzhou's side.

In this industry, having the right boss is the most important thing.

If the boss can't protect you, don't mention anything.

On the contrary, if the boss treats you well, you won't feel like you're losing out even if you earn a little less. You can even comfort yourself by saying that the boss has it tough too.

"Sis, I'll buy you a drink."

Zhu Xudan handed a bottle of Assam milk tea to her agent.

The agent wondered, what kind of drink is this so late at night?

Zhu Xudan whispered, "Our little boatman is treating us."

Upon hearing this, the agent swallowed his refusal and quickly put the drink into his bag: "Then I won't be polite."

After putting away the milk tea, the agent said seriously, "Sister Zhu, you should prepare well. I've looked at the script, and this character is somewhat similar to Xuan Nu; their backgrounds are quite alike."

Xuan Nu granted Zhu Xudan many benefits.

She knew the appeal of this kind of role.

She can portray the complex layers of a seemingly villainous character who harbors inner desires, and create dramatic tension.

She can.

"Sister Zhu, I suddenly realized that you have a pair of beautiful long legs—I mean, sometimes you can make good use of your advantage."

"I've always thought you're much prettier than Dilraba."

The agent encouraged Zhu Xudan to become the sister-in-law.

Even if she can't be a legitimate sister-in-law, being a secret sister-in-law is enough for Zhu Xudan to brag about for a lifetime.

Resources, fame, and wealth will all come to you.

"No, that won't work."

Zhu Xudan slowly shook her head: "With just one sentence, he completely subdued President Zhao. He knows exactly what I'm thinking. I'm afraid when I see him."

"I'd rather stick to being an actor—good acting skills are everything."

Dai Si is a female fighter with a single function!

Unable to make a living at Jiahang, she ran away to Lu Yunzhou's side and became the female lead in an action movie that grossed 56 billion yuan.

Dilraba is so envious!

Needless to say, Zhu Xudan was an even bigger fish.

She's also a one-dimensional actress—she specializes in playing villainous women!

But there are many kinds of evil women. Some are evil in their hearts, especially if they still have a trace of kindness in their hearts. Others are driven by love turned to hate.

In short, just one villainous female character is enough for her to study for a lifetime.

"Dilraba, it's all done. Thank you."

After everything was settled, Zhu Xudan sent a message to Dilraba, her tone full of flattery.

This made Dilraba feel very respected by Lu Yunzhou.

"It's nothing. Just focus on your work and make sure you film well. I'll come see you when I have time."

Dilraba acted like an older sister-in-law, offering Zhu Xudan a few words of encouragement with great magnanimity.

Upon seeing the message from Dilraba, Zhu Xudan couldn't help but let out a soft hum, overwhelmed with emotion.

"Honey, you're such a failure as a person. Dilraba, whom you've been so dedicated to promoting, now wants Jiahang to collapse more than anyone else, and hopes that Xiao Chuan Ge's business will grow bigger and bigger."

The casting controversy surrounding the entire series has finally come to an end.

Lu Yunzhou went back to the hotel for a nap, only to find out in the morning that he had been photographed by paparazzi while having a late-night snack the night before.

A mysterious woman at Lu Yunzhou’s night party! 】

[2 AM, Lu Yunzhou's date at the convenience store!]

[Lu Yunzhou treats a mysterious woman to oden!]

"I give up!"

"I knew this would happen!"

Since Lu Yunzhou joined the recording of the variety show "Idol Producer", a lot of paparazzi have come to the neighborhood this week.

However, due to the recording of the program, Lu Yunzhou did not come out during the day at all.

Last night was the only time he went out for a late-night snack, and he was photographed by someone.

"Understood!"

"Jiahang really knows how to seize opportunities."

After scrolling through his phone for a while, Lu Yunzhou discovered the truth.

[Zhu Xudan, the most beautiful legs in 4000 years! Selected by Lu Yunzhou!]

-

This trending topic was obviously bought by Jiahang Media for Zhu Xudan.

The previous few posts were basically those that were pushed up by netizens after the paparazzi released the photos.

Whenever Lu Yunzhou interacts with the mysterious woman, it instantly becomes a trending topic and a hot topic on Weibo.

However, most things that make it to the trending topics are fake.

Since Lu Yunzhou acquired his Imperial Guard, Wang Ran and Zhang Ruonan no longer need to come out and deny the rumors—as long as Lu Yunzhou doesn't make an official announcement, the fans will pretend it doesn't exist.

There are just too many people who want to be my sister-in-law.

There are just too many people trying to ride the wave of popularity.

Fans even thanked these female celebrities who wanted to create hype—if it weren't for them constantly releasing rumors about Lu Yunzhou, fans wouldn't know what Lu Yunzhou had been up to lately.

The money these female celebrities spend on press releases is essentially equivalent to them acting as "station managers" for their fans, actively searching for Lu Yunzhou's offline activities.

"The most beautiful legs in 4000 years, Jiahang really dares to boast."

"Unfortunately, even their boasting is just copied from Ju Jingyi's; they don't dare to boast any louder."

Lu Yunzhou didn't bother to respond to the previous rumors.

Because it's true that they ate late-night snacks, it's true that it was 2 a.m., and it's true that they ate oden.

It's all true, what's there to respond to?

But the last one, the "most beautiful legs in 4000 years," left Lu Yunzhou speechless.

This was clearly purchased by Jiahang Company, who wanted to take this opportunity to promote Zhu Xudan as well.

Dilraba was Lu Yunzhou's ideal woman, and Jiahang Media hyped it up for two whole years, to the point that even Dilraba herself believed it.

Recently, Dilraba's tone when speaking to Lu Yunzhou has become much gentler, giving Lu Yunzhou the feeling that she is like his childhood sweetheart ex-girlfriend.

Lu Yunzhou felt the atmosphere was strange, but he didn't say anything. Perhaps Dilraba's personality was just like that?

Unexpectedly, Jiahang Media has come up with a novel idea: to create the "most beautiful legs in 4000 years," carefully selected by Lu Yunzhou to promote Zhu Xudan.

Hopefully, Zhu Xudan won't take it seriously.

"However, Jiahang Media is quite good at seizing opportunities."

In this situation, as long as Zhu Xudan doesn't publicize that she gave birth to several children for Lu Yunzhou, Lu Yunzhou won't say anything because of the upcoming "Queen of Tears" project.

After all, Zhu Xudan is the second female lead in this drama!

Jiahang Media spent money to help generate buzz for the project in advance; if you think about it carefully, Lu Yunzhou should actually thank them.

"Hey, you newbie, tell me, what's going on?"

Wang Ran was very unhappy when he saw the late-night photo of Lu Yunzhou and Zhu Xudan.

Because she knew Lu Yunzhou well; he would never go out for a late-night snack unless something particularly important happened.

Unable to vent her anger on Lu Yunzhou, she could only take it out on Cai Xukun.

Cai Xukun was also wronged, and said aggrievedly, "Sister-in-law, I've been training like a madman, constantly battling against Shandong geese, what could I possibly know?"

"Moreover, the place where my brother's affair was rumored was clearly outside my prison."

"I'm truly powerless to help!"

"I've been keeping a close eye on Zhou Jieqiong for you—but I'm simply too busy to do so."

Cai Xukun thought to himself, "Lu Yunzhou is really amazing. He goes out early and comes back late every day to record the show with me, and he can even go out on a date with a long-legged beauty in the middle of the night."

As expected of my older brother.

That's how you should play, making the most of your youth.

Just then, Wang Ran gritted her teeth and realized what was going on: "I know—it must be Dilraba Dilmurat behind my back! Trying to steal my boyfriend."

How did you know?

Cai Xukun couldn't understand how Wang Ran could pin the blame on Dilraba when Zhu Xudan and Lu Yunzhou were having a late-night snack together.

"A woman's intuition."

Wang scoffed softly.

After a while, Wang Ran gave Cai Xukun a huge task: "Rookie, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. As long as you help me with this, all past grievances will be wiped clean."

What grudge do we have that we can just wipe the slate clean?

If you weren't my older brother's aunt, who would I know you? Do you really think you're some big shot?

Cai Xukun looked disdainful, but still obediently said, "Please give your orders, sister-in-law!"

Wang Churan snorted and said, "I have an idea. After you debut from 'Idol Producer,' your popularity will definitely be very high because I will spend money to help you generate popularity."

"When you're at the peak of your popularity, find an opportunity to have a rumored relationship with Yang Mi."

"Who made Jiahang disgust me every day—I'll disgust them back this time."

Is that what you call disgusting Jiahang? You're disgusting me!

I'm in the prime of my youth, surrounded by long-legged beauties—Cheng Xiao on my left, Zhou Jieqiong on my right. You want me to go and spread rumors with my best friend?

You're insulting me!

Cai Xukun was extremely unwilling, but then a clever idea struck him, and he said, "Sister-in-law, what did you just say? You're going to spend money to help me generate buzz? Isn't that what fans should do? So, sister-in-law, you're my staunch supporter!"

Why didn't you say so sooner!

"I was so touched."

"I always thought you were my biggest hater, sister-in-law—but I never imagined that you would become my most loyal supporter after all that hating."

Cai Xukun finally gained the upper hand verbally, launching a 360-degree rebuttal and denial before Wang Ran could react.

Cai Xukun announced directly that today's dialogue was over.

He was going to leave with a victory.

Wang was suffocating!

"Sister-in-law, I'm logging off now. Let's chat again next time!"

As for what Wang Ran just mentioned about having a rumored relationship with Yang Mi, Cai Xukun would never agree to that.

However, this is not enough.

Before logging off, Cai Xukun gave Wang Ran a gift: a short, impromptu poem he had just written for Zhu Xudan.

"I am actress Xiao Dan."

"His legs are 1.3 meters long."

"To replace the second aunt's ship."

"I want to lick the bowl of porridge tonight."

This doggerel poem directly ignited Wang Cherish's jealousy.

Wang Churan felt a little jealous when Lu Yunzhou had a late-night snack with Zhu Xudan, and now she was being deliberately provoked by Cai Xukun.

She was so angry that her size 40 feet started to itch.

"You noob, if you're so capable, then you'll never be alone in your life!"

Wang Ran felt he could easily defeat Cai Xukun single-handedly, but he feared Lu Yunzhou might stand in his way and try to save Cai Xukun's life.

That noob has such a foul mouth!

"Boat Girl, Your Highness, it's time for class!"

Just then, Tian Xiwei came over and gently knocked on the door.

When Lu Yunzhou was away, Tian Xiwei moved in with Wang Ran and also served as his personal driver, taking him to school.

The relationship between the two women progressed rapidly under Tian Xiwei's deliberate attempts to please her.

"Leaving right away!"

Wang Ran is actually under a lot of pressure.

Because she knew very well that Lu Yunzhou's "Queen of Tears" project was designed to promote her.

If she doesn't perform well, everyone will laugh at her.

Even people like Tang Yan, Tian Xiwei, and Cai Xukun have some opinions about her.

The atmosphere at Lu Yunzhou's home is like this: you can ignore me, but you can't ignore me. You can have a bad temper, but you can't be incompetent.

Let strength speak for itself!

Whoever can earn money for the family will see their status within the family rise infinitely.

Lu Yunzhou went to Qatar without taking himself, but instead took Liu Haocun with him—because Liu Haocun had worked like a slave for the company and made a lot of money.

If I fall behind again, the doggerel written by Cai Xukun might become a reality.

The beginning might be something like "I am actor Xiao Tian" or "I am actor Xiao Cun" — but the rest will be pretty much the same.

"Song Yameng, you have to work hard!"

"If all else fails, let's have a son for my brother first!"

Given their family's circumstances, they have no merit whatsoever that can compare to giving Lu Yunzhou a son.
