The sweetest in the entertainment industry
Chapter 707 Extra 6: The Self-Cultivation of a Top Star
"Family background is secondary; our interests and hobbies are completely different, so how can we have anything in common? Not to mention the difference in our professions, which creates countless chasms. Think about it, he works in a sensitive organization where he can't even go abroad, let alone be exposed to the public. Meanwhile, you're constantly traveling the world, with people watching your every move. If you two really got together, how would you get along? You can't just have an online relationship, can you? Honestly, given his obsession with math, he might not reply to your 'good morning' message for three days."
No one knows a daughter better than her father, and Lu Nanting knew very well what a high-needs baby his eldest daughter was.
She is capable and intelligent, but she is clingy and loves to act cute. In addition, she has been pampered by countless people since childhood, and every day people rack their brains to make her happy. She is someone who can't stand being ignored.
Lu Nanting simply couldn't imagine how the two of them should even begin their relationship.
Lu Zhixian has been a self-aware person of being a perfect idol since childhood. Not only is she academically excellent and creatively strong, but every stage performance she gives makes fans cheer with excitement, attracting wave after wave of fans who admire her strength. In private, she is also strict with herself, never swearing, and has good habits. She truly embodies beauty inside and out. In terms of relationships, she is even more self-disciplined than the most self-disciplined idols. Not to mention dating, she speaks with great tact and never gives anyone room for ambiguity.
She grew up smoothly until the age of 28, and Gu Lanxi and Lu Nanting were always quite worried about her marriage and love life.
But this depends on fate. There's no need for a family like theirs to force it. They have a daughter, and as long as they're willing and open-minded, they won't lack a biological heir.
When she suddenly told him that she had found someone she liked and was planning to pursue him, Lu Nanting's hair turned several strands white with worry these past few days, and he would seize any opportunity to nag her about it.
From childhood to adulthood, the two sisters have received so many love letters that they could fill a truck, but they seem to have never been romantic. Suddenly, Tuantuan said that she has someone she likes and plans to take the initiative to pursue him. The couple, who have been in love for decades, are troubled by this for the first time. They are inevitably overly cautious, so much so that recently, they have been avoiding leaving Beijing unless absolutely necessary.
Even after starting work, Yuanyuan, who had specifically moved to live near the law firm, stopped living outside. Recently, she's been like a newly hatched chick, nervously following her older sister around all day long, afraid that her sister might be kidnapped by some blond-haired guy outside.
Although she immediately tried to find out about Chen Zhiwei after learning about this, and learned that he came from a scholarly family, was a well-known child prodigy since childhood, and had no bad habits in private, she still couldn't quite accept it.
It's not that I can't accept my sister getting married or dating, but I'm worried that the gap between our families' circumstances is too big, and my sister won't be able to stay with him in the end, and she will get hurt in this relationship.
People who grow up in different environments have completely different values, making it difficult for them to live together.
For example, for these sisters, buying a bag worth millions is as simple and casual as buying a bottle of perfume, but for ordinary people, buying a house worth millions requires working hard for most of their lives.
For them, traveling abroad is as easy as leaving their neighborhood. They have first-class tickets, private jets, and countless luxury cars. But for ordinary families, even a trip to a neighboring province requires careful planning and consideration.
She didn't know much about these things when she was a child. Even though she often did charity work with her parents, the lives of those poor people were not related to her own. She only needed to spend money to help people solve their problems and didn't ask too many questions.
Since becoming a lawyer and handling various cases, she has witnessed the ugliness and struggles in the lives of ordinary people, and her understanding of human nature has become increasingly clear.
Dating is a clash of values, but marriage is the fusion of families.
She couldn't even imagine the scene of Chen Zhiwei's parents meeting her parents.
After marriage and children are born, how should the two families interact?
Yuanyuan is not talkative, but she thinks very clearly.
She is pragmatic and not idealistic; her worries outweigh her expectations.
In her view, marriage and dating are another kind of "business".
The return on investment was far below expectations, so in her opinion, there was no need to invest any emotion in it.
For families like theirs, losing a little money is a small matter; emotional hurt is the real issue.
Since the matter was brought up, the whole family has been against it, leaving Lu Zhixian feeling quite helpless.
In her view, material differences are not that important; the resonance of souls is the most precious thing.
She and Chen Zhiwei reconnected after the car accident.
The two of them felt very comfortable together. No matter what they talked about, their thoughts were always on the same wavelength. They were both very intelligent people, and they could often guess each other's thoughts just by the other bringing up a topic.
That wonderful emotional experience is what Lu Zhixian cares about most.
But that feeling is really hard to describe.
Lu Zhixian sprawled on the sofa, popping blueberries into her mouth one after another. Seeing her father start again, she couldn't help but sigh, then sat up, still holding her bowl.
"So what? You and Mom are so busy, yet you still managed to date, get married, and have me and my sister. Would you stop replying to Mom's messages just because you're busy? To be honest, being busy is just an excuse; whether you're willing or not is the most important thing. I'm so great, and he's so smart. If we really got together, wouldn't I cherish him? You guys really have no idea how charming I am."
Seeing her stubbornness, Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh.
She sat at the other end of the sofa reading the script, looking rather exasperated, and lightly kicked Lu Zhixian's thigh twice:
"Stop being so arrogant. We've had each other's contact information for almost half a month, haven't we? What's the progress? Still saying 'good morning' and 'good night' every day? To be honest, you're just a know-it-all who talks a big game but doesn't know anything. You can talk a lot about everything, but when it comes to actually doing something, you don't know what to do. Before anything's even started, you've already caused a huge uproar. In the end, when people ask if they know who you are, they say, 'Oh, they only know your name, that you're a musician, but they can't say what songs you've sung or what works you've created.'"
Despite being a household name and a superstar, Chen Zhiwei has been obsessed with mathematics since childhood and doesn't know her at all. If she really wanted to be a fan, she probably only had eyes for human superstars like Hua Luogeng and Gauss.
In short, the two of them were from completely different worlds.
If it were someone else who hit her car and then had so many interactions with her afterwards, they probably would have pounced on her and kissed her feet long ago. Chen Zhiwei only regarded her as someone she could get along with.
The reason I'm willing to associate with her is probably because she inherited her mother's good brain, so I won't be wasting my time.
Lu Zhixian immediately wilted.
"That's why I'm telling you guys! It's because I don't know where to start!"
"So, who's going to talk to you or me? I can't help you with this, can I? To be honest, your dad and your sister are most worried about you getting hurt in this relationship, but what I'm most worried about is that you don't even know how to talk to someone."
To be honest, even if Chen Zhiwei's family background is average, her personal abilities are more than enough to make up for this deficiency.
Compared to mundane wealth, the truly rarest existence is a brilliant mind that can leave a lasting mark on the long history of humankind.
With such a mind, if one hadn't surrendered oneself to the state early on, fame and fortune would have been within easy reach.
Gu Lanxi understood this all too well.
Therefore, her concerns are completely different from those of her husband and youngest daughter.
The biggest problem isn't whether the relationship will last, but how to actually get it done.
It has to be said that Tuan Tuan has excellent taste in choosing a partner; Gu Lanxi is very satisfied with Chen Zhiwei. To put it simply, for an ordinary girl who marries an ordinary man, the most annoying thing in life is probably her mother-in-law criticizing her for not being able to give birth to a son. But if she marries Chen Zhiwei and cannot give birth to a child as intelligent as him, all of humanity will feel sorry for him and blame this woman for the failure to continue their bloodline.
The family had another long talk about the matter, thoroughly expressing their thoughts, and then went about their own business.
Lu Zhixian never expected her mother to be so hurtful, hitting her sore spot right away. She went back to her room and collapsed onto the bed.
From childhood to adulthood, she has been successful in everything she does, but when it comes to relationships, to be honest, although she is very good at charming people, after all, she has more than 20 years of experience in seducing fans, she really doesn't know how to pursue a boy she likes.
Because past experience has taught her that dating is a mistake, and if not handled properly, it could potentially have a devastating impact on her career, she naturally doesn't know how to date.
Unlike her parents, she is arguably the most successful idol in the Chinese entertainment industry. Her fans are even more powerful than her own parents, and any flaw in her romantic partners will result in unimaginable abuse.
If you want to be with her, you first need to have a big heart...
Opening the chat window between the two, it was still from three days ago, when Chen Zhiwei invited her to dinner and thanked her for her generosity and for not deliberately making things difficult for her.
After the car accident, because the time spent together was very pleasant, Lu Zhixian became curious about someone for the first time. Instead of having the housekeeper follow up, he handled the matter himself. Since the two chose to settle the matter privately, they always found excuses to meet about issues such as compensation and car repairs. So they met several times. Because they had ulterior motives, they always chose to meet around mealtimes, and they even ate several meals together.
But both of their cars had been repaired, and they had run out of excuses. Lu Zhixian racked her brains for three whole days, but still couldn't figure out how to ask him out.
My younger sister has never been in a relationship. Our parents are only concerned with their own happiness and don't care about her well-being at all. The dating tips she knows aren't really applicable to a genius scientist like Chen Zhiwei. Afraid of having her private social media account exposed by her fans, she doesn't dare to ask netizens for advice online. She wanted to find some reference materials online, but she couldn't find anyone in the same situation...
This situation is actually quite annoying, making it impossible for her to concentrate on her work.
Fortunately, I don't have many commitments lately, otherwise I don't know how troublesome it would be.
As I was biting my nails and scrolling through our chat history, just as I was about to open their Moments to take another look, the top of the chat window changed to "The other party is typing...".
Lu Zhixian immediately jumped up, sat on the edge of the bed, and stared at the chat box, waiting patiently.
The state of being in that state lasted for a full eight minutes, and not a single emoticon was sent.
While she was struggling with her decision, it turned out that the other person was also struggling with theirs.
While she was being cautious but unsure of what to do, it turned out that the other person was even more cautious than she was!
This discovery made her eyes light up!
Suddenly, my courage grew.
【Chen Zhiwei, I saw a ghost today!!! /terrified/terrified】
The other party replied instantly:
Believe in science; there are no ghosts in the world. The reason we feel afraid is often because we are visually deceived, and then our brains uncontrollably start to fill in the blanks in our minds.
Lu Zhixian raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing the secret to their relationship:
Oh, I've run into a coward.
I thought the other person would feel embarrassed or awkward, but I didn't expect them to be so courageous.
Sensing something from her attitude, Chen Zhiwei replied instantly again: "But just one look from you gives me boundless courage. I want to see you, this time without excuses, purely for this reason. Are you willing?"
Without hesitation, he seized the opportunity and brought their relationship into an ambiguous stage.
Lu Zhixian was stunned and it took him several minutes to realize what this meant.
What else is there to be unwilling about?
I found some thick gear, wrapped myself up tightly, and met my friend at the park.
The two met as if they were secret agents making a rendezvous. Chen Zhiwei was a little confused. It was the middle of winter, and the weather wasn't very good today. It was a bit strange to meet outdoors.
After Lu Zhixian explained his past experiences to him, and then immediately searched for news on his phone, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "If your fans find out that we're on a date, will they scold you?"
"I'm not afraid of being scolded, I'm afraid you'll get scolded and then you won't be able to take it and will stop talking to me."
She had quite a few friends when she was young, but she was like a spotlight. Anyone who got close to her would be subjected to excessive attention. Many friends drifted away from her because they couldn't stand the public scrutiny. It was rare for her to develop feelings for a man, and she didn't want to fail before she even got started.
"Oh, so this is our first date? Can I mention you at our next company meeting?"
Chen Zhiwei didn't take Lu Zhixian's concerns to heart at all.
He lives in the staff dormitory building, where those so-called obsessive fans can't even get through the gate. As for those online, the relevant departments are in charge of managing them. The only person he cares about from beginning to end is Lu Zhixian.
From childhood to adulthood, there have been very few girls who resonate with him so deeply. It's a rare treat to meet one like him. If he were to miss out on such a chance, he would probably regret it deeply when he's old.
Lu Zhixian stood beside a fiery red maple tree, hands in her pockets, wearing a long black down jacket, a white beanie, and a black mask. She stared at him wide-eyed, and it took her a long time to find the right words:
"I'm sorry, I misspoke before. You're not a coward, you're incredibly brave!"
Chen Zhiwei chuckled softly, then looked up again and barked loudly before delivering a sharp retort: "Looks like you like puppies."
Then he looked at her with bright, sparkling eyes, his gaze filled with "I can be your little puppy," but he didn't open his mouth, waiting for her to respond.
Lu Zhixian covered his face and turned away, not knowing what to say.
At that moment, she suddenly understood her father very well.
It's quite normal for a father and daughter to fall for the same kind of person, isn't it?
A beautiful appearance is nothing compared to a brilliant mind.
But Chen Zhiwei's looks were so captivating that she couldn't help but fall for him at first sight.
What else can we do?
Of course, we should seize them without hesitation and negotiate to the death! (End of Chapter)
