The city lights are coming on again.

The man sitting on the sofa had his eyes lowered as he carefully flipped through the book in his hands. His gaze followed the words, and his hair fell naturally over his forehead. He had probably just washed his hair, which was silky and smooth. The moonlight shone through the window, casting a silvery-gray glow, which was both gentle and delicate, yet also added a touch of coolness.

The creaking sound of the door opening did not affect him at all.

Until that person started speaking.

"Hey Lu, the great movie star, you're reading as soon as you get back?" The voice started from the doorway and then moved closer with the footsteps.

Lu Jingchu closed the book, looked up at him, and remained silent.

The person who came was his agent, who was also his cousin, Lu Yang.

Lu Yang was not originally called Lu Yang, but Lu Xi.

However, when he was a child, he thought the characters were too difficult to write, so he always wrote his name as "Lu Yang".

The adults couldn't do anything about him, and no matter how they tried to correct him, it wouldn't work, so they just let him be. However, they still changed "sheep" to "Yang," which became his mother's surname, making it a little more interesting than "sheep."

As for why Lu Yang started an entertainment company and became an agent.

It all comes down to his own excessive gossip.

Where are the most gossip stories? Of course, it's in the entertainment industry.

So when Lu Jingchu started to enter the entertainment industry, Lu Yang volunteered to be Lu Jingchu's manager and has been so ever since.

As Lu Jingchu rose to fame and reached his current position, his status as an agent also rose accordingly, giving him access to most of the gossip and secrets in the entertainment industry.

Who's having dinner with whom today?

Which TV series has a male and female lead who are a couple on set?

Which celebrity has secretly given birth to another child?

Which top celebrity appears to be a teetotaler but secretly indulges in smoking, drinking, and gambling?

...

He knew all of these things perfectly well.

He can be described as the "know-it-all" of the entertainment industry.

Indeed, he even created a Weibo account for himself, called "Entertainment Encyclopedia".

He's also a prominent online figure, but of course nobody knows who he is, and he won't voluntarily reveal his identity.

Lu Yang didn't seem to care that Lu Jingchu ignored him, as if he had already gotten used to it.

“You didn’t knock.” Lu Jingchu uttered these words.

Lu Yang frowned. "What time is it? I haven't even asked you yet. How come you took it upon yourself to participate in a variety show as soon as I left on a business trip?!"

"Have you been seeing other dogs behind my back?!" Lu Yang acted as if he were heartbroken.

He occasionally gets the urge to act, like right now.

Lu Jingchu gave him a cold look. "Don't act, thank you."

Lu Yang recovered in an instant.

"No, didn't you say you wouldn't participate in variety shows? I turned down several for you before."

"I just suddenly wanted to participate, and don't you think it's interesting?" Lu Jingchu looked at Lu Yang, a smile playing on her lips, a hint of pleasure in her expression.

"Yeah, this show is really interesting. You have no idea how happy I was when I saw that all the fruit you picked was poisonous, hahaha." Lu Yang burst into laughter, and Lu Jingchu gave him a sharp look.

Lu Yang pretended not to see and continued speaking.

"Hey, hey, you there, right, Shen Shiqing, is her beggar's fish really that delicious? Or is it just for the show?"

"Mmm, it's delicious." Lu Yang felt that Lu Jingchu had become inexplicably gentle.

Indeed, it was definitely not for the sake of the show. Who can ask Lu Jingchu to do something he doesn't want to do?

"So the food she cooks, the fish soup she makes, is really delicious? I saw that Lao Du even packed some to take home for his wife." Lu Yang was genuinely puzzled. For two top actors to approve of her, Shen Shiqing must be quite extraordinary.

"The rice smelled delicious, the soup was very tasty, and she is a very good cook."

Lu Yang listened, clicked his tongue and shook his head. "I didn't ask her if her cooking was good or not, why are you answering?"

“I didn’t expect this girl to be so capable. I always saw a lot of scandals about her before, but now it seems like that’s not the case.” Lu Yang paused. “Actually, I think you and that girl are quite a good match.”

Lu Yang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Because he felt that Lu Jingchu, this thousand-year-old iron tree, was about to bloom.

"Really? You think so too?" Lu Jingchu raised an eyebrow, her eyes surprisingly showing a rare agreement with Lu Yang's words.

What do you mean by "also"? Lu Yang was puzzled. Does that mean that besides me, there are many other people who think you two are a good match?

However, Lu Yang carefully searched his memory for Shen Shiqing, and to be honest, he didn't have a deep impression of her, and what he did remember were mostly negative things.

Who else could Lu Yang not know the truth or falsehood of those scandals? He just couldn't understand why Shen Shiqing seemed like a completely different person.

It wasn't her appearance that changed, but the feeling she gave off. She became smarter, which was the most obvious and visible change.

"I think she has good potential, is beautiful, and has a lot of room for future development, but it seems like no one is promoting her, which is a pity."

Lu Jingchu had picked up a book at some point, but upon hearing Lu Yang's words, she slowly put it down again.

“You can praise her, I have no objection,” Lu Jingchu said earnestly.

"No, I mean, Mr. Lu, are you alright? Is it possible that her company is our rival? Making a competitor famous? How could you even think of that?" Lu Yang said incredulously.

"Then I'll snatch her away." Lu Jingchu said solemnly, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions, but one that was immediately apparent was both gentle and resolute.

Lu Yang was taken aback and tried to find a trace of joking on Lu Jingchu's face, but he couldn't.

Seriously? You're serious?!
