The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 103 Where have you been?!

The tractor disappeared into the forest, and the mountain wind dried the sweat on my body.

It's hot and humid today, and I feel sticky and uncomfortable all over.

Gu Lanxi held up her umbrella, lost in thought, her mind filled with images of Lu Nanting leaving in tears.

He's young and hasn't suffered much hardship since childhood, so it's normal that he's emotional and can't bear the sorrow of parting.

Even someone as immune to all poisons like her felt terrible inside!
We climbed over one mountain, and then another.

Despite following the same route they had come by, the return journey was exceptionally difficult.

In early August, the mountain road was lined with mature burrs and beggar-ticks. A white silk dress, ethereal and elegant, was caught in the tangled threads, with several strands sticking to it.

Gu Lanxi stopped caring.

As I saw the small courtyard where I would be staying in the distance, exhaustion surged up like a tsunami.

Life always goes on, and their professions dictate that there will be many more such separations.

She thought she was just not used to it yet.

After taking a few quick steps, Gu Lanxi leaned against the heavy door and plopped down on the threshold. Gazing at the slowly setting sun, she felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

His phone chimed, and Lu Nanting said he was already in his bodyguard's car, heading to the airport.

Gu Lanxi listlessly took a picture of her skirt and sent it: [Honey, buy me a new dress.]

The setting sun cast its glow on her legs, revealing at least a dozen scratches on her fair skin.

She didn't take it seriously, but Lu Nanting was heartbroken.

【Buy, buy, buy! I'll buy it right now and have it delivered to you, otherwise summer will be over.】

No, it's too much trouble to carry it down the mountain. I'll just buy an autumn dress.

Then, after thinking for a moment, she added: "After filming this, I don't plan to take on any other projects for the rest of the year; I'll be staying home most of the time."

No trouble at all. Even if I can't come, I'll send someone to pick you up in advance.

Okay then, not too many, just two, no, three, one white, one light green, and one light purple. Do you know which one?

Lu Nanting got into the car, and his expression wasn't very good. Xiao Jiang thought he would be depressed until tomorrow, but he cheered up in no time.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Seeing him excitedly tapping away on his phone, Xiao Jiang was worried that he might act irrationally and post something on Weibo that would be difficult to manage, so she immediately became wary.

Zhang Mingyuan had instructed his assistants to be extra careful in this regard.

After all, this is someone who got provoked and dared to argue with people on the official Weibo account.

"Don't worry, see? We found a few designers and asked them to help design the dress."

Xiao Jiang craned her neck to look and saw that there were several people in the group, all with IDs from different luxury brands, and they really were designing dresses.

【Ah!! I'll fight you rich people to the death!】

However, no matter how sharp the explosion of thoughts in his mind was, he dared not show it on his face at all.

All I could do was pretend to be tired, lean back in my chair, and feel utterly hopeless.

Gu Lanxi simply mentioned wanting to wear a new dress, and Lu Nanting immediately forgot his sorrow at parting. He promptly gathered a group of designers, submitted design proposals online, and let Gu Lanxi take her time to choose.

Gu Lanxi dislikes complicated designs and prefers simplicity and elegance, aiming for an ethereal or gentle aesthetic. She believes that as long as the colors are right, a design is actually quite easy to create.

Gu Lanxi quickly made her choice, and someone was immediately arranged to bring the fabric over for her to choose from, and to take her measurements as well.

Gu Lanxi rarely dealt with these brands and had never experienced such service before. She felt it was quite nice and nodded in agreement.

However, Lu Nanting hadn't even arrived at the airport yet.

Gu Lanxi lifted her foot, stared at her shoe for a moment, then slowly stretched out her foot and rubbed it against the earthen wall before taking a picture and sending it to him.

Honey, you're so hard to catch! My shoes are worn out, and I need new ones.

Lu Nanting may not be familiar with other things, but he's an expert in this area!

So a new group was quickly formed, and major brands sent reliable shoe designers to serve the esteemed third young mistress of the Lu family.

After all that trouble, and seeing that it was only seven o'clock, Gu Lanxi sent him another link:

I want to wear matching outfits with you. You choose, and I'll pay.

She paused, then added, "[You know what it means to use my WeChat.]" Her WeChat account is currently linked to the card used for paying her living expenses.

This is a reminder to him that he cannot exceed 500,000.

This is the official website of a certain accessible luxury brand; this amount of money is quite reasonable.

Gu Lanxi has spent almost the entire month on the mountain. She has money but nowhere to spend it, and she hasn't even bought a single large crab. Buying some everyday clothes is more than enough for her.

Lu Dingliu, who had just spent a large sum of money, was not angry at her being so stingy; on the contrary, he was very happy.

After she made her selections and payment, Lu Nanting offered to link her Alipay account for "Intimate Payment" and WeChat "Family Card" with her.

The amount wasn't high, and Gu Lanxi found it a bit troublesome and didn't really want to do it, but Lu Nanting really wanted it.

[I read online that boyfriends often give their girlfriends this, it's so romantic! Even though we're married now, we still need to talk about it all over again, we can't let others beat us.]

Well! I don't know what's wrong with him, always begging people to spend his money.

Gu Lanxi was so pestered by him that she had no choice but to give in.

After all that trouble, we arrived at the airport.

Gu Lanxi breathed a sigh of relief and got up to go back inside.

Aunt Wang and her two companions appeared right in front of her, carrying buckets of water.

"We made some Imperata cylindrica, sugarcane and water chestnut drink today. We'll take it to the film crew to distribute later. Lanxi, would you like a bowl? It's so refreshing and sweet, and it helps to cool you down!"

"Thank you Aunt Wang."

The three of them put the stainless steel bucket down.

The two handles came down with two crisp "clang, clang" sounds.

Before long, Aunt Wang brought a bowl and filled it for her.

Gu Lanxi said thank you, carried the bowl into the house, and saw that dinner had been prepared on the table.

One serving.

"The three of us met up with some friends from the film crew today, so we'll be back late tonight. Just leave your dinner there after you finish eating."

However, the courtyard was small, so they deliberately left her a space to be alone and to sort out her low mood.

After eating and taking a shower, Gu Lanxi applied iodine to her calves, put on light and comfortable linen wide-leg pants, and stuffed the unsightly white dress directly into the stove.

Keeping this thing, Lu Nanting felt sad every time he looked at it.

After washing up and returning to her room, she didn't want to read, sleep, or go online, so she simply contacted everyone in the studio and started an online meeting.

Overtime pay is tripled between 8 PM and 8 AM; at other times, including lunch breaks and after get off work, it is doubled.

With this rule in place, the staff at Gu Lanxi's studio have always been highly obedient.

The studio has eight people, and they exist solely to implement her ideas.

The working hours are flexible, so there's absolutely no objection to having a meeting at this time.

Gu Lanxi wants to establish an MCN company specializing in agriculture, rural areas, and farmers, not only because she sensed a huge business opportunity in live-streaming e-commerce, but also because she saw the potential of this business in terms of national policies.

She did make a lot of money through venture capital, but this way of making money is too simplistic.

Now that she has the resources to pursue industrial diversification, she's going to take advantage of her youth and energy to make the most of it.

The rural revitalization strategy is one of the important policies to promote common prosperity and narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. At present, the nationwide poverty alleviation campaign is in full swing, and vigorously developing the rural economy will surely be of great help to this.

As long as she stays true to herself, works diligently, contributes substantial tax revenue while helping farmers escape poverty, she will likely remain in power for the next ten years.

With these thoughts in mind, Gu Lanxi was full of energy and stopped thinking about other things.

The meeting lasted until 1:30 a.m., and Gu Lanxi only announced the end of the meeting with satisfaction after arranging the key tasks for the following week.

Meanwhile, after a transfer, Lu Nanting finally arrived at Hongqiao Airport.

Just before we left the gate, Xiao Jiang handed me a bag of pomegranates.

"Brother, can you carry this for me? I'll carry the suitcase later."

Without a second thought, Lu Nanting took the net.

Well, I have a favor to ask, all you praise-gurus, could you please do me a little favor in the book club, shower me with compliments, and lure more book lovers into joining us? I haven't recommended anything for the past two weeks, and my collection has gone into hibernation… I'm getting a little anxious… Don't worry about me being shy, go ahead and do your thing, I can handle it. ┭┮﹏┭┮
With the help of "Chongbao's Mom", I have compiled six songs so far, all of which only have a few verses of lyrics. I will organize them and post them in the book club circle. Those who are interested can take a look.
