Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 133 Xiaotian's Bitter Scheme! D8's Dilemma! Even Little Zombies Get Jealous! The Big White Goose Steals the Job!

Of all the things in the world that are hardest to guard against, having your best friend steal your boyfriend is definitely among the top.

Tian Xiwei really knows Wang Ran very well.

Wang Ran is a girl who appears aloof on the surface, is somewhat funny in private, but is actually a bit withdrawn at heart.

This is also normal.

Her parents divorced when she was young, her mother remarried, and she went to boarding school when she grew up—in this environment, she was naturally very sensitive.

Because her close relationships were often interrupted, Wang Ran developed a defensive mentality and rarely made friends—Tian Xiwei was her best friend.

Cai Xukun is not.

Cai Xukun was her mortal enemy.

Tian Xiwei suddenly left the group chat over a trivial matter, leaving Wang Cheran feeling uneasy all night.

After thinking about it, she finally sent Lu Yunzhou a WeChat message asking for help.

"Brother, I misspoke earlier and Xiaotian misunderstood. Could you please apologize to Xiaotian for me and tell her that I didn't mean it? Please tell her not to be angry—she always listens to you the most."

What's going on?

Could Wang Churan possibly offend Tian Xiwei?

Given Tian Xiwei's carefree personality, even if Wang Ran accidentally said something wrong, she wouldn't take it to heart.

Under normal circumstances, Tian Xiwei would settle a score on the spot if she had a grudge, and she would never swallow her anger.

"I see."

"To retreat in order to advance, a ruse involving feigned injury."

Lu Yunzhou suddenly realized something, and could only say that Tian Xiwei was a clever little devil.

"Xiaomeng, don't worry, Xiaotian won't take it to heart. From now on, you two should be good sisters and not quarrel over trivial matters."

"It's fate that brings us together."

"Many people miss out, and that's it for a lifetime; they can never go back."

Lu Yunzhou spoke at length with Wang Ran in a very earnest manner.

First, give Wang Ran some preventative advice.

Otherwise, Wang Ran would definitely be furious.

He can have all sorts of mistresses outside. If Wang Ran finds out, she'll probably be a little unhappy, but she probably won't say anything.

But he absolutely cannot go to Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xiwei was Wang Ran's best friend—meaning that he and Tian Xiwei betrayed Wang Ran together.

What does this make Wang Ran think?

"Thank you, brother. I knew you were the best to me—I'll be waiting for you to come back in Italy."

Looking at the message that popped up on her phone, Wang Ran felt a little sweet inside. Lu Yunzhou was really good to her.

They treated her even better than her parents.

Girls raised in this kind of environment actually yearn for long-lasting relationships, but instinctively feel indifferent about them.

I'm used to it anyway.

Every time Lu Yunzhou said something like "forever" or "for life" to her, she would take it seriously and feel especially at ease.

In particular, the ancestral worship ceremony held by Lu Yunzhou's family made Wang Churan feel very involved.

Each time the ancestral worship ceremony is completed, Wang Ran's sense of belonging to this family grows stronger.

After several such incidents, Wang Ran even began to harbor rebellious thoughts—neither the Song family nor the Wang family were her home. The Lu family was her home!

As long as Tian Xiwei doesn't try to break up her family, she'll be her best friend for life.

"bite."

-

Less than 5 minutes later, Wang Churan received a WeChat message from Tian Xiwei.

She thought to herself: My brother is really reliable. As soon as I finished speaking, he had Xiaotian contact me.

However, Wang Ran opened WeChat and glanced at it, then immediately rolled her eyes.

The WeChat message from Tian Xiwei read: "Second sister, I noticed you have a lot of old clothes that you don't wear much. How about I donate them for you? There's a used clothing recycling station downstairs. Consider it a donation to the poor."

"Donations are not allowed!"

Wang Churan, of course, disagreed.

Those clothes were bought with my own hard work, and even if I don't wear them anymore, I can't possibly donate them to others.

Moreover, these clothes are all very expensive.

"Second sister, since you don't agree, then I won't donate. However, there are two cars parked in the garage, an Audi R8 and an Audi Q7. I asked eldest brother, and he said I can drive whichever I want—I'd like to drive the R8, is that okay?"

Tian Xiwei is such a clever little devil.

If she wanted to drive Lu Yunzhou's car, Wang Ran would definitely disagree. However, she directly let Wang Ran drive the R8.

Choose from Q7 —

That ensures she has at least one car to drive.

"Everyone in Shanghai knows that silver R8 is my brother's car. You're driving an R8 to school? Do you want my brother to be on the front page?"

"Let's drive the Q7."

Nobody recognizes that car.

As expected, Wang Churan was no match for Tian Xiwei. He lost both battles and fell into Tian Xiwei's trap, ultimately letting Tian Xiwei drive Lu Yunzhou's car.

"Thank you, Second Sister. You're such a kind person. No wonder Eldest Brother likes you the most. He bought you a 6000 million yuan mansion to keep you as his mistress and gave you 200 kilograms of gold as a betrothal gift."

"They even specially tailored an idol drama for you, to make you a big star. While filming, they also took you to see all their key employees and various factories."

"This doesn't look like filming a movie!"

"This is clearly telling the whole world that you are the true empress!"

Tian Xiwei flattered Wang Churan again.

This flattery hit Wang Ran right where it hurts.

She chuckled, holding her phone: "Xiao Tian, ​​is that really what you think?"

Tian Xiwei then added a flattering remark: "Second Sister, it's not just me who thinks this way; even the idiot has given up now. Look how long it's been since he came out to fight you. He's clearly resigned himself to his fate."

Makes sense!

Wang Ran became happier the more she thought about it, and offered her goodwill: "Xiao Tian, ​​study hard at school."

Develop your acting skills. Next time there's a good opportunity, I'll have my brother take you on a journey.

Being a big star is great, but Wang Ran doesn't really care. The main reason for filming this idol drama is to promote her family's brand.

Of course, she also values ​​the opportunity to have a genuine and unforgettable romance with Lu Yunzhou on set through filming.

"Thank you, Second Sister."

Tian Xiwei has gotten used to calling her second sister.

Wang Ran was a little awkward at first, but every time Tian Xiwei called her "Second Sister," she would also flatter her, which made her feel quite happy and offset the awkwardness brought about by the title "Second Sister."

After chatting for a while, Tian Xiwei drove Lu Yunzhou's Audi Q7 to class.

Wang, clutching his phone, gradually calmed down: "That brat Xiao Tian, ​​her intentions are obvious to everyone. She just wants to be the fourth one!"

"I will never let you have your way."

That being said, if a family absolutely had to have a fourth child—Wang Ran felt that Tian Xiwei was definitely better than Dilraba.

Of course, it's best not to.

Langfang.

With no one to disturb him, Lu Yunzhou finally got a good night's sleep.

The restorative power of sufficient sleep is amazing.

He finally felt that he had recovered to full strength, and he was full of energy and vitality, just like when he was 18 years old again.

"Yunzhou, I'm downstairs."

As if she had calculated that Lu Yunzhou would wake up at this time, Dilraba sent him a message.

"Are you crazy?"

"Shouldn't you be in Beijing promoting that movie, 'Miracles of the Namiya General Store'?"

As Lu Yunzhou replied, he pulled back the curtains and glanced downstairs.

A black van, its lights on and its engine vibrating, was parked next to his van.

The two cars look exactly the same.

To outsiders, it would probably look like he was about to go out.

As for why there are two vans? As a top star, shouldn't he have a spare car?

Only Lu Yunzhou knew that the van behind him wasn't his.

"You seem quite concerned about my schedule?"

The message Direba sent was filled with excitement and joy.

"Come downstairs quickly, I can only stay here for half an hour at most. If you don't come down, I'll get out of the car and come find you."

Dilraba's tone sounded somewhat resolute.

As long as Dilraba doesn't get out of the car, the paparazzi don't really know who's inside—most celebrities' vans look pretty much the same.

But whenever Dilraba gets out of the car, whether or not she sees Lu Yunzhou, it always creates some speculation.

Dilraba came to him with the intention of self-destruction, and Lu Yunzhou could sense that she had probably been driven crazy by Jiahang.

To be honest, Lu Yunzhou was also quite curious about how far the internal strife at Jiahang had progressed.

With a "let's watch the show" mentality, Lu Yunzhou quickly tidied up and, along with a few of his men, went downstairs.

"You guys go drive the car."

"I'll sit in the car behind."

Lu Yunzhou told a few of his underlings to drive his car, while he quickly jumped into Dilraba's car.

"Why are there two cars?"

"When did this car appear?"

"Besides us, has the boss hired a new team of men? Is the boss very dissatisfied with our work these past few days?"

The henchmen were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, speechless, and began to blame one another.

However, since things have come to this point, blaming each other is useless.

I can only try my best in the work ahead.

The lead car started slowly, but it had lost its soul, crawling like a zombie on the road in the early morning.

Then, with Lu Yunzhou in the car behind, the vehicle seemed much more cheerful.

Music even started playing softly inside the car.

Did you receive my birthday present?

Dilraba and Lu Yunzhou sat side by side on chairs. Dilraba turned to look at Lu Yunzhou and asked him softly.

Lu Yunzhou glanced at the driver.

Dilraba gently patted Lu Yunzhou's hand to reassure him that the driver was definitely one of their own and wouldn't say anything out of line.

Even so, Lu Yunzhou didn't say anything inappropriate, simply nodding and saying, "Thank you."

I really like the belt.

"As long as you like it."

A sweet smile appeared on Dilraba's face.

Lu Yunzhou's ability to identify the gift as a belt indicates that Tang Yan delivered the gift and did not discard it en route.

Tang Yan is such a good person.

If it were Yang Mi, she probably would have thrown the gift away long ago.

At that moment, Dilraba turned to Lu Yunzhou and whispered in his ear, "I know you're angry with me. Back then, you meant well, wanting to take me with you. But I refused. If I were you, I would be angry too."

"I know I was wrong."

"Please forgive me, okay?"

"If you can't forgive me, then use the belt I gave you to whip me hard. Whip me until you feel better."

What are you saying!

Why did this image appear in my mind?

Lu Yunzhou was speechless.

He felt that he was originally a very strong-willed person, and if he had encountered such a thing a year ago, he would most likely have remained calm and unmoved.

But ever since that "August II" awakened his talent, whenever he sees a beautiful woman and she flirts with him, his emotions fluctuate wildly.

It is at least 100 times larger than before.

"Why would I whip you with a belt for no reason?"

"Moreover, I now understand that it was not your fault that you missed my invitation—just like in the 216 China-US men's basketball game, we cannot blame Guo Ailun for not dominating Irving, which led to the Chinese men's basketball team losing to the US team."

Although Guo Ailun's dribbling skills were flashy and he showed off in front of Irving, he was indeed not capable of defeating Irving.

same.

Although Dilraba is a professionally trained actress and a top-tier celebrity, she certainly doesn't have the ability to discern a work's potential for success simply by reading the script.

Actors with this ability are extremely rare.

It's perfectly normal that Dilraba missed the short film that Lu Yunzhou handed her.

Because she simply lacks that judgment.

It's not Lu Yunzhou's code of conduct to blame everything on someone who can't do something.

"I'm glad you don't blame me."

Upon hearing this, Dilraba's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lu Yunzhou with particular surprise.

He doesn't hold grudges at all.

Who said he was a petty man?

It was Yang Mi who said it.

That damned old friend—she's a petty person herself, yet she thinks everyone in the world is like her.

Sure enough, that statement was correct.

Your slander against me doesn't even represent one ten-thousandth of who I am, yet it's a stark reflection and projection of your inner self!

"Yunzhou, I'm facing some difficulties right now. After thinking it over, I think only you can help me."

Although Lu Yunzhou is Jiahang's rival, he may also be his own rival.

But even Yang Mi, his rival, had to admit that Lu Yunzhou's character was a breath of fresh air in the entire industry.

As for his aesthetic sense and judgment of film and television dramas, needless to say, he is absolutely among the top in the Chinese entertainment industry.

When Dilraba encountered a problem, she didn't consult Yang Mi, but instead went to find Lu Yunzhou.

"I'll be getting off in 10 minutes after I finish breakfast. Just tell me what you need."

The filming location wasn't far from Lu Yunzhou's hotel, only a ten-minute drive away. But Lu Yunzhou would always finish his breakfast in the car before going backstage to get his hair and makeup done.

In total, it took about half an hour.

The production team is also familiar with Lu Yunzhou's habits.

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou was indeed going to work, Dilraba stopped reminiscing and said seriously, "The performance of 'The King's Woman' is not good. 'The Flame's Daughter' was originally planned to be broadcast on both TV and online, but now the TV station is not willing to take it over, which has reduced the project's revenue by 200 million."

"The company is currently divided into two factions because of my situation."

"One faction believes I am a hopeless case and is preparing to reduce the resources allocated to me."

"The other faction believes that Sister Mi is getting old, and in addition, she is uncontrollable and ambitious, so she is not a good slave. They want to promote me to replace Sister Mi and reduce her voice in the company."

"After all, I seem to be more obedient. I'm not the kind of person who has too many ideas, so I'm easier to control."

At this point, Dilraba suddenly whispered a little secret to Lu Yunzhou: "I'm determined to win the next Golden Eagle Goddess and Golden Eagle Best Actress awards. The company will handle everything for me; they'll do whatever it takes to get me promoted."

"Mr. Zeng, you used to work for Rongxinda."

"You might not know this, but Mr. Zeng actually has quite a few connections in Beijing's social circles. Many things that Sister Mi couldn't handle, Mr. Zeng could."

"Although Sister Mi looks glamorous, she's not good at running a company. She's too talkative and has a bad personality; many people in the company don't like her."

This was the first time Lu Yunzhou had ever heard of this.

He thought Yang Mi was very popular at the company.

That makes sense.

Yang Mi can even ruin her relationship with her best friend—given her personality, she wouldn't show any respect to the lowly employees at the company.

Yang Mi is lucky she didn't die secretly.

"I understand—"

Although Dilraba's words were incoherent and rambling, Lu Yunzhou still understood them.

You're feeling conflicted and torn right now.

"You're afraid that if you fail miserably, the company will completely sideline you. You're unwilling to just become ordinary."

"But you're also afraid that if you become too popular, the company will hold you tightly, treating you like a cash cow and refusing to let go. You don't want to be controlled by others for the rest of your life."

Lu Yunzhou was referring to Dilraba's current mindset.

As a female celebrity, Dilraba naturally wants to be famous, to be loved by everyone, to have endless endorsements, and to have every film and television drama she stars in become a hit.

But there's a problem here.

After she became famous, she gave most of her earnings to Jiahang Company.

She hated Jiahang Company to the core; Jiahang was her enemy.

She made so much money, yet she only made her enemy fatter and fatter—and in turn, she controlled her both physically and mentally.

She's definitely not reconciled!

However, if she falls ill—it would certainly be a huge loss for Jiahang, but for her personally, the loss would be even greater!

This is Dilraba's dilemma!

"Your situation is indeed quite complicated—but I have a plan that might be able to break the deadlock."

Dilraba's personality is completely under Jiahang's thumb.

But if Lu Yunzhou were in this situation, he felt that it didn't really matter.

"How do I do it? Teach me, brother."

Dilraba couldn't help but take Lu Yunzhou's arm, her face full of anticipation.

Let me tell you my story.

Instead of teaching Dilraba how to do it, Lu Yunzhou talked about how he had just joined Tang Yan Studio.

"When the drama 'The Dying Is Coming' was in preparation, I didn't actually want to debut as an actor, but my agent, Ji Rujing, tried every means to persuade me to debut as the male lead in order to maximize the company's profits."

"I don't know how I was persuaded by her at the time."

"After I starred in this drama, even though my scenes only lasted three days, Ji Rujing and my sister spent an unknown amount of money to promote me for three months, making me sound like the most handsome man in the universe and the most talented man in the entertainment industry. They even gave me a nickname called 'Luxury Man'."

"I stayed on the trending topics for three months, trying to piggyback on the popularity of the four top male celebrities at the time, and then I found out all my strengths and used them to undermine them."

"So, I forcibly joined the ranks of the four top celebrities."

"After you ruined Lu Han, I basically absorbed all of Lu Han's fans, making me an unparalleled top male idol."

"To be honest, I should thank you."

"However, you climbed to the top by stepping on your older sister. As for me, it was my older sister who actively spent money, spending about three times the amount that Jiahang used to promote you, to forcibly elevate me to the top."

"This means I'll never give you a friendly look in any public setting!"

Dilraba listened quietly at that moment.

A slight smile even appeared on her face.

I never expected there was such a story behind this.

She had always thought that Lu Yunzhou broke into the circle because of his talent, but she never expected that he also relied on Ji Rujing and Tang Yan's press releases to forcibly piggyback on their fame and rise to prominence along with them.

Generally speaking, staged accidents are like women wearing the same outfit.

Whoever has a better figure or is more beautiful—the other person is immediately outshone.

Lu Yunzhou used this kind of misplaced strategy to forcefully push down the other four top stars.

Compare your height to Yang Yang's.

Compare talent with Li Yifeng.

Compare your innocence to Wu Yifan's.

Compared to Lu Han—Lu Han is in a relationship, and he's fallen apart.

"Let's continue with our previous topic."

"Ever since I became famous, Sister Ji originally wanted me to film a few idol dramas to solidify my fanbase—but I didn't listen to her at all."

"At that fashion gala, when I saw that Audi was the main sponsor—"

A plan immediately formed in my mind!

"You know what happened next."

"I managed to secure Audi's sponsorship without any investment. At that time, Ms. Fu Bingxing from Huace Film Industry was struggling to find support for her film production, and I gave her the opportunity to collaborate, which was exactly what she wanted."

"Mr. Qiao of Fuxing Pictures happens to be Wang Churan's cousin."

"At a private dinner at Audi, I made a point of getting close to Wang Cheran. Not long after, President Qiao spent 1..."

"They invested 100 million in our company."

"Thanks to Mr. Joe's connections, my film successfully went through Fosun's channels and got in touch with Jeff Robinoff, the former president of Warner Bros., which opened up theaters in Europe and America, thus achieving the miracle of global bestseller status."

"These are all publicly available materials—netizens have already written dozens of versions of my rise to wealth, so it's nothing new. I'm sure you've seen several versions of the story online as well."

Dilraba listened with great interest.

This made her sincerely admire Lu Yunzhou—he was truly amazing, utilizing all his strengths to solve all of the client's pain points at the same time.

Every step was exquisite, a textbook example of marketing techniques.

Others market their products, but Lu Yunzhou markets himself.

"There's a premise here, and that's the most important one—"

At that moment, Lu Yunzhou revealed the real key point: "I always believed in my ability to succeed, so whether in the company or when dealing with my partners, I always looked down on them from a superior position. This gave them a false sense of security."

Why do humans have religious beliefs?

"Because most people are confused 99% of the time—they need a spiritual leader."

.

"The more powerful the leader, the more fanatical they become."

At this point, Lu Yunzhou gently pinched Dilraba's cheek: "Since Jiahang wants to promote you as their leader, don't be timid. You should stand up bravely, prove yourself with facts, and show everyone that you are worthy of their following!"

"Once you become the leader, Jiahang will have to cater to you."

"If anyone dares to suppress you, just throw a tantrum—and tell them to get lost."

"Even Zeng Jia, the big boss of Jiahang, will have to appease you from now on. He's afraid you'll be unhappy, afraid you'll quit."

Ji Rujing and Tang Yan originally wanted to take Lu Yunzhou as their subordinate.

As a result, after Lu Yunzhou's series of outrageous actions, they realized that they couldn't control Lu Yunzhou at all, and it would be better to follow Lu Yunzhou's lead and make money steadily.

"Remember, you can be a bit fierce at the company."

"Yang Mi is definitely leaving — from now on, you are Jiahang's most valuable asset. If anyone treats you rudely, just quit."

"If they try to pressure you with compensation—"

"If it really comes to that, don't worry. Many companies will cover for you and be willing to pay the penalty for breach of contract."

After listening to Lu Yunzhou's analysis, Dilraba felt dizzy.

She kept going back and forth, but only one sentence stuck with her: "Someone will come to the rescue."

Who is this person?

Although Lu Yunzhou said there would be many companies—Dilraba only caught Lu Yunzhou's unspoken meaning.

He'll cover for you!

Did you just pinch my cheek?

After realizing what had happened, Dilraba looked at Lu Yunzhou's fingers, which still had some foundation from her face on them, and asked him happily.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

Whenever Lu Yunzhou is happy or excited, he can't help but pinch someone's cheek.

Most of the time, the person sitting next to him is his little darling.

He's made it a habit.

If we raise Dilraba to be a leading lady—and then send her back to Jiahang to fight amongst themselves, that would be a huge mess!

Yang Mi must be dumbfounded!

"It's okay."

Dilraba chuckled and glanced at Lu Yunzhou's fingers: "Want to pinch them again? My skin isn't as rough as you think, is it? I've spent a lot of money on skincare these past few months."

The feel is actually pretty good.

It wasn't as rough as I had imagined.

However, she is much worse than Tian Xiwei.

Compared to Zhang Ruonan, it goes without saying. Of all the girls Lu Yunzhou knew, Zhang Ruonan had the best skin.

Her skin was so delicate it could be broken with a touch.

Lu Yunzhou didn't try to argue with Dilraba, and slowly shook his head: "It's about time, I should go."

"Remember, you can be a little tough at the company; no one will dare to do anything to you."

"We live in the internet age—we should be clearly aware that influence is power!"

"You have tens of millions of followers on Weibo. Everyone else in your company combined can't even raise their voice as loudly as you. What are you afraid of?"

"If all else fails, you have one last trick up your sleeve. If anyone in the company bullies you, post a message on Weibo in Uyghur saying that they are targeting you, the 'flower of the Uyghur people'."

"Remember this."

"This is a nuclear weapon—it poses a strategic threat."

Lu Yunzhou actually felt that Jiahang Company would never bully Dilraba.

She is a flower of the Uyghur ethnic group and has great value in united front work.

Jiahang dares to mess with Dilraba, just like Lu Yunzhou just said, as long as Dilraba says a few bad things in Uyghur on social media.

Jiahang died outright.

"Aka. Jiahang is very cunning. He has already created a persona for me, saying that I am introverted and shy, beautiful and kind-hearted, and prone to internal conflicts. If I act cunning or assertive, my persona will collapse."

Dilraba also has her own difficulties.

Unlike Lu Yunzhou, who initially established himself as a cold and arrogant genius who would directly insult anyone he didn't like.

If Lu Yunzhou throws a tantrum on set, his fans won't think he's being arrogant.

They would only think that the older brother was super handsome and had a genuine personality.

Those people deserve to be scolded.

Dilraba can't pull off Lu Yunzhou's trick.

At this moment, Lu Yunzhou laughed and said, "Is this even a big deal? If the fans have any doubts, just say that Yang Mi is a close friend of yours and can't stand seeing you being bullied, so she's helping you come up with ideas."

Upon hearing this, Dilraba covered her mouth and laughed, "Aka, you're so cunning! You made Sister Honey take the blame."

"Besides, the persona that Sister Mi presents to the outside world is that we are best friends. She really can't stand to see me being wronged. She also promised to take care of me like a younger sister."

"Since she's offered to be my older sister, she probably won't mind if I make her take the blame for a few things, right?"

After a long talk with Lu Yunzhou, Dilraba suddenly understood.

Yang Mi is indeed cunning and scheming, but she is unlikely to outmaneuver Lu Yunzhou.

Dilraba felt that Lu Yunzhou played these little tricks very easily, as if he were playing some kind of strategy game.

It's clear that he really enjoys playing games.

"Get some rest and don't overwork yourself. May you remain as beautiful as ever."

Lu Yunzhou once again offered his sincere blessings.

Dilraba is indeed very career-minded, and there's no stopping her—so let's encourage Dilraba to speed up her pace and climb higher!

Stocks always crash at their peak.

Jiahang is best to go all in at once, especially with Dilraba.

Honestly, given Jiahang's current situation, it's not far from collapsing.

One fatal blow is still needed.

"Aka, wait a minute."

Dilraba pulled Lu Yunzhou aside, looked into his eyes, and said, "Mango, Soiman."

Lu Yunzhou's eyes widened in surprise, a look of bewilderment on his face.

This is a huge misunderstanding!

"I am flattered."

But in this situation, he didn't know how to explain it. He stared blankly at Dilraba for a moment, and could only accept it.

Then, Lu Yunzhou hurriedly got out of the car.

Dilraba slowly closed the car door, reverting to her cool and aloof demeanor, and said to the driver, "Drive back."

The driver couldn't understand at all what Dilraba and Lu Yunzhou meant by their last farewell.

Uyghur is indeed a very obscure language.

Mango, so it's slow?

What does this mean?

The code for the Bit Agent's connection is even more difficult to understand.

"The rice is crying."

Dilraba's words just now almost made Lu Yunzhou lose his balance when he got out of the car.

"Is she crazy? Why would she tell me—that she'll love me forever?"

When did we ever date?

Lu Yunzhou didn't quite understand.

Being confessed to by Dilraba Dilmurat out of the blue was indeed a bit difficult for Lu Yunzhou to handle.

Before this, they should have been rivals, right?

"Has something happened that I don't know about?"

Lu Yunzhou felt as if he had missed some plot developments—like watching an idol drama where he had fast-forwarded through at least 10 episodes.

Mango means "forever".

Soman means "I love ————".

-

Uyghur is an inverted word structure.

The Chinese word order is "I eat," but in Uyghur it would be roughly "I eat rice."

Give another example.

The phrase "Brother, I've been waiting for you for so long" would be translated into Uyghur as "Waiting and waiting, I've gotten four eyes, my friend."

Dilraba deliberately omitted several word roots at the beginning, speaking vaguely, but Lu Yunzhou, a language genius, understood her immediately.

"I hope Dilraba won't invite me to drink mango juice."

"I don't like things that are too sweet."

Lu Yunzhou murmured something softly, preparing to go to work.

"Um?"

Just then, Lu Yunzhou unexpectedly discovered something, and his expression froze for a moment.

Not far in front of him, Zhang Jingyi stood alone, holding two cups of milk tea in her hands.

She came early in the morning and waited here specifically, probably wanting to enter the rehearsal room with Lu Yunzhou.

As one of the 600 judges on site, Zhang Jingyi also wants to give Cai Xukun a score today.

However, she was prepared to deduct 100 points from Lu Yunzhou first—but no, 100 points is too many, let's just deduct 1 point.

The milk tea in her hand was still warm, but just 10 seconds earlier, Zhang Jingyi had watched Lu Yunzhou get out of Dilraba's car.

Dilraba smiled and seemed reluctant to part, whispering sweet nothings to Lu Yunzhou.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingyi was so angry she felt cold inside, and her hands were trembling.

At that moment, seeing that Lu Yunzhou had discovered her, a hint of panic flashed in Zhang Jingyi's eyes. She pretended to be very angry and tried to turn around and leave.

But it was as if my feet were sealed in cement, and I couldn't move an inch.

"Jingjing, stop right there."

Lu Yunzhou called out from behind, stepped forward, and took the cup of milk tea from Zhang Jingyi's hand:

.

Is it for me?

"Um."

Zhang Jingyi stomped her foot in annoyance, turned her head away, and didn't want to pay any attention to Lu Yunzhou.

But she still gave a soft "hmm".

There are two kinds of "never bowing down" specialties in western Hunan: the five-step snake and the zombie king.

At that moment, Zhang Jingyi wanted to transform into a zombie king, fly out, and smash Dilireba's car to pieces.

"You saw everything?"

Lu Yunzhou took a sip of milk tea and asked softly.

This film and television town is usually not crowded. It's so early in the morning and so cold that paparazzi wouldn't come here to stake out.

Zhang Jingyi was alone here, deliberately staking out Lu Yunzhou.

"I didn't see it."

Zhang Jingyi, against her conscience, slowly shook her head, then added, "Big brother, don't worry. I won't tell anyone."

"It's awfully cold outside, let's go inside."

Lu Yunzhou gently patted Zhang Jingyi on the shoulder and led a group of people into the recording studio.

Today is the first performance.

Ten teams, comprising 100 people, were divided into two groups, A and B, and re-evaluated and scored.

It will probably take a whole day to record.

Lu Yunzhou was quite busy with work and didn't originally intend to explain anything.

However, ever since Zhang Jingyi came in, she had been silently watching him, her stubborn little face filled with grievance.

This made Lu Yunzhou look like a heartless man.

Lu Yunzhou took a deep breath, finished his work first, and finalized all the program flow.

Before the recording, he approached Zhang Jingyi and said earnestly, "I know it's hard to explain. But Dilraba is not my girlfriend. We were only talking about work in the car just now. However, I've already rejected her."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingyi's eyes lit up. She stared at Lu Yunzhou for several seconds before asking, "Really?"

"Of course it's true."

Lu Yunzhou nodded seriously, showing no shame on his face: "She herself is nothing special, but Jiahang Company is our competitor, how could I possibly cooperate with her?"

Uh-huh!

You've explained everything to me, so whatever you say, I'll definitely believe you.

Zhang Jingyi was already very happy to hear Lu Yunzhou's explanation, but she still stubbornly said:

.

Why are you explaining this to me? I'm nobody to you.

"Feed".

Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but reach out and gently lift the corners of Zhang Jingyi's downturned mouth, helping her to smile slightly: "Everyone here knows you're my cousin. If you look down, they'll start speculating and think something's happened to me."

"Then, they'll secretly short-sell my stock—have you ever traded stocks? At high prices, you can only keep releasing positive news; once they release negative news, it will definitely hit the daily limit down."

"I am currently at a high level, and an extremely high level—in my position, I can only keep releasing positive news, and absolutely cannot release negative news."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingyi immediately smiled sweetly, not wanting anyone to find an opportunity to short Lu Yunzhou.

"Thank you, my little cousin."

Lu Yunzhou chuckled softly, and as he turned to leave, he made a point of saying, "Your eye makeup looks great today."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingyi was overjoyed.

She spent a long time doing her eye makeup, and sure enough, it was noticed.

I'm so happy.

Although her features look somewhat stubborn, the combination with this gentle eye makeup creates a sense of contradiction in her overall appearance—and that contradiction is the story.

German psychologist Stern once proposed a theory called "Gestalt pressure".

When people are faced with incomplete or conflicting visuals, they experience a kind of "pressure" to fill in the gaps and make them whole.

Charm often arises from this state of "incompleteness" and "waiting to be filled".

"My older brother seems like a very strong man, but I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. He knew I was unhappy—so he came to coax me."

"In his heart, I must be very special."

The recording of "Idol Producer" has begun. Zhang Jingyi is sitting in the audience—as one of the 600 judges, she is preparing to score Cai Xukun.

Out of respect for Lu Yunzhou, she would definitely give Cai Xukun the highest score.

"Hello there."

Just then, a rather handsome boy next to Zhang Jingyi turned around and gently nudged her.

"What's up?"

Zhang Jingyi looked over with some confusion.

The boy was a little embarrassed and ashamed, but he finally mustered up his courage and said, "I've noticed you for a long time. I think you have a special quality about you. You're the kind of person who can make my heart race just by appearing in a crowd—"

"stop!"

Zhang Jingyi instantly picked up on the sensitive signal, her face turning cold as she said, "I have a boyfriend, don't give me this nonsense. It's annoying."

The boy was quite obedient and didn't say a single unnecessary word for the rest of the day.

After the recording of the program was over, Zhang Jingyi saw Lu Yunzhou leave and happily followed him.

"Jingjing, was today more exciting than the previous two days?"

Lu Yunzhou laughed heartily.

Cai Xukun performed a very effeminate dance on stage —

As the center, Cai Xukun stood on the high stage, gently pinching his small face with his fingers, looking like a cute little apple.

This dance was clearly choreographed by Cai Xukun specifically for his female fans.

Cai Xukun really went all out to become famous.

"It was definitely more exciting than the previous few days."

Upon hearing Lu Yunzhou's teasing, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle.

Since Lu Yunzhou wasn't the one who was embarrassed, Zhang Jingyi didn't feel any guilt.

She could watch Cai Xukun's antics with great excitement.

"Jingjing, what would you like to eat? I'll treat you to dinner. Then, we'll go back to Yanjing together. I have to catch an early morning flight back to Italy."

"Another tiring day."

Zhang Jingyi is a very loyal girl.

Lu Yunzhou was willing to drop his pretense and reveal his vulnerability and weariness in front of her. In any case, Zhang Jingyi wouldn't betray him.

"Brother, let me treat you."

Zhang Jingyi waved her phone: "Last week, Cunzi went to shoot for a magazine and introduced me to shoot a few male photos, which made me some money."

Zhang Jingyi's desire to show off her competence was practically written all over her face.

"I knew all along that Jingjing could make a living off her beauty. I was right."

Lu Yunzhou gave Zhang Jingyi a thumbs up and praised her highly.

However, he couldn't help but sigh, "But it's always you, the younger sister, who treats us. I, as the older brother, don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all."

"But then I thought—having such a beautiful younger sister like you willing to treat me to dinner, I suddenly felt like I was a very successful person."

Lu Yunzhou first said the opposite of what he meant, and then he said the opposite of what he meant. The charm of language reached its peak at this moment.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter.

Lu Yunzhou is usually a very aloof person, and even Cai Xukun would not joke with him casually, but in front of her, he is like a kind older brother.

Full of genuine feelings.

Zhang Jingyi felt that Lu Yunzhou's feelings for her must be very special.

She liked this feeling.

The two went out to eat, chatting and laughing.

On the other side.

The handsome young man who had just chatted with Zhang Jingyi on the set of the show took out his phone and frantically sent messages to Fan Chenchen: "FCC, what kind of terrible idea did you come up with? You want me to steal someone else's girlfriend—but they don't even give me a chance."

They even looked down on me, saying I was a toad trying to eat swan meat. How utterly shameful!

Fan Chenchen said in surprise, "No way? Dude, you're so handsome, and she doesn't even give you a chance? In all these years, I've never seen you fail at picking up girls. Compared to you, Cai Xukun is like a chicken."

Just then, Cai Xukun floated past Fan Chenchen and scoffed, "You idiot! You haven't even figured out the situation, yet you want to steal her away. How could Fan Bingbing have such a stupid brother like you?"

-

After the performance, Cai Xukun immediately went to a corner to dig out his phone, wanting to show it off in the group chat.

He had just gotten his phone when he spotted Fan Chenchen sneaking out.

So he hid.

Immediately afterwards, he heard about Fan Chenchen's conspiracy.

That damned Fan Chenchen actually went and flirted with Zhang Jingyi by finding a handsome guy—probably hoping to make herself a cuckold, thus weakening her resolve and causing her to lose the competition.

Besides, Fan Chenchen seemed to think that Zhang Jingyi was his girlfriend, and that he was Lu Yunzhou's cousin-in-law, making him a pre-selected champion.

However, Fan Chenchen naively believed that by getting rid of Zhang Jingyi, she would lose everything.

That's incredibly clever.
