office.
Wen Zheng leaned back in his office chair, looking solemn. He was looking down at the year-end report sent over by the finance department.
There are always the most things to do at the end of the year. Wen Zheng has been traveling to G City these past two weeks, and the things on hand have been piled up.
——Knock knock.
There was a knock on the glass door, but Wen Zheng didn't even raise his head.
"Come in."
The female secretary walked in with delicate makeup, a decent professional suit and high heels.
"Boss Wen, Mr. Chen is here. I asked him to wait for you in the lounge."
"Well, I'll be right there."
Wen Zheng made a mark on the place he had finished reading, closed the report, stood up and walked towards the lounge.
A few days ago, Wen Zheng received a call from his friend Xu Weiyao.
"I really can't find any problem with your brother. I can only say that his rank is too high, or the matter of Xingxing has nothing to do with him."
Wen Zheng tightened his fingers around the phone, "I always feel like he..."
"It looks like he has ulterior motives?" Xu Weiyao finished speaking for Wen Zheng and said.
"But he really didn't do anything wrong. I've investigated the people he was close to, and they were just the kids in our villa area when we were young. They were a little arrogant and had a bad temper, but they didn't have bad intentions and there were no problems with them."
What Wen Yu wants to say is that having no problem is the biggest problem.
"When he first came to my house, he was too obedient and flattering."
"Are you too sensitive? Children are not used to the new environment and subconsciously want to please and get close. My nephew is only two years old. If he wants to eat candy or buy toys, he will pretend to be good and please. This is not a problem." Xu Weiyao said again.
"And how old was Wen Yucai when Xingxing got into trouble? He was the same age as Xingxing. What could a five or six-year-old child do?"
Xu Weiyao knew that Wen Zheng was troubled by this matter, and tried his best to help him to the best of his ability.
"You know what? I didn't find anything out from Wen Yu." Xu Weiran paused and continued. "But I found something worth pondering."
…
"Boss Wen."
When Wen Zheng walked into the lounge, he saw a man in his fifties sitting on the sofa. He immediately stood up when he saw Wen Zheng come in.
Wen Zheng nodded and motioned for him to sit down. The female secretary had already brought two cups of coffee, placed them on the coffee table, and then left.
The man called Mr. Chen was a little apprehensive, and sat stiffly in a corner of the sofa. "What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Wen?"
"Why did you suddenly leave the welfare home fifteen years ago?"
Chen Wensheng unconsciously clenched his fists and pressed them on his knees, a trace of panic flashed across his face.
"My wife is sick and in the hospital. She needs someone to take care of her. There is no one else in my family and my son is still young. I can only quit my job at the welfare home to take care of him."
Wen Zheng didn't respond. He picked up the coffee and took a sip without saying whether he believed it or not.
Chen Wensheng was feeling very uneasy and was carefully observing Wen Zheng's reaction, but the expression on Wen Zheng's face was so solemn that he could not see anything.
"Boss Wen."
After a while.
Chen Wensheng could no longer hold his temper. He asked tentatively, "Yes, is there something wrong?"
Wen Zheng took out a slightly yellowed photo, which showed a cute and adorable little girl.
"Remember her?"
Chen Wensheng pursed his lips tightly and nodded after a long while.
“No, no…”
Meeting Wen Zheng's ambiguous gaze, Chen Wensheng's words got stuck in his throat. He hesitated and said.
"Remember."
"Mr. Chen, your son is working in Yucheng now, right? I happen to know Mr. Xu from Yucheng..."
Before Wen Zheng could finish his words, Chen Wensheng interrupted him with a pale face, "Boss Wen, I really don't know."
"I haven't even asked yet, but Mr. Chen doesn't know?"
"I'm not lying. If you don't believe me, Mr. Wen, you can check the hospital records from fifteen years ago."
"I didn't say I didn't believe it." Wen Zheng's eyes were heavy. "I only ask you one question. After you answer it, you can leave."
"What's the matter?" Chen Wensheng immediately became alert.
"Who adopted Sisi?"
Sisi is the girl in the photo.
Chen Wensheng looked conflicted. Wen Zheng looked at his watch and said, "I have a meeting later. Mr. Chen should hurry up."
"I have no idea."
Before Wen Zheng could say anything, Chen Wensheng immediately said, "I really don't know. Sisi hadn't been adopted when I left."
"Hasn't been adopted yet?"
Wen Zheng paused while knocking on the table, "Are you sure?"
"On the day I left the welfare home, Sisi said goodbye to me." Chen Wensheng frowned slightly, as if he was lost in memories.
"Are you sure it's Sisi?"
"I am sure."
Wen Zheng had never thought of investigating the problem from here before, and Xu Weiyao's reminder also made him discover the overlooked problems.
Why do welfare home staff lie?
Chen Wensheng's wife was sick and hospitalized and needed someone to take care of her, so she left the welfare home. It sounded like there was no problem with that. He knew that even if he checked, he would be able to find Chen Wensheng's wife's hospitalization records.
only……
Wen Zheng still felt something was wrong. How could it be such a coincidence?
In the past few years, Wen Zheng was only concerned about the disappearance, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. During this period, he expanded the scope of his investigation and also focused on Wen Yu, but still found nothing.
After Xu Weiyao helped investigate, both of them found issues that were worth pondering.
That is, all the workers at the welfare home more than ten years ago have resigned.
Over a period of more than ten years, personnel turnover is normal, but for everyone to leave seems a bit deliberate.
——Buzz buzz buzz.
The vibration of the cell phone interrupted Wen Zheng's thoughts. The caller was Xu Weiyao.
"How is it going? Any progress?"
"I have gained something." Wen Zheng paused and said, "Sisi was not actually adopted back then."
"Sisi?" Xu Weiyao was unfamiliar with this name, but after hearing Wen Zheng say "adopt", he also reacted.
"Is this the girl that Aunt Ji wanted to adopt at that time?"
"Yes. I remember it happened in June. At that time, my mother was worried that Xingxing and I wouldn't be able to accept having another child in the family, so she asked for our opinions."
"Sisi is one year younger than Xingxing. When Xingxing knew he was going to be a big brother, he was very excited. He had been looking forward to Sisi's arrival and had prepared many gifts for her."
The Wen family was very concerned about the upcoming girl. They not only redecorated the children's room, but also bought her a lot of clothes and toys.
"I remember now. I came to your house at that time and said I wanted to come and see the little sister. Later I heard you say that someone had already adopted her. Xingxing was sad for several days."
Xu Weiyao only remembered it after Wen Zheng reminded him, but he felt something was wrong.
"But what do you mean she wasn't adopted?"
"Maybe the family that adopted Sisi changed their mind, or maybe..." Wen Zheng's eyes darkened.
The staff at the welfare home didn't want the Wen family to adopt Sisi.
Lu Wenxing made an appointment with Xie Chengfei to pick him up from school this afternoon.
But he had an audition now, so he could only send a WeChat message to Xie Chengfei and ask him to wait for him after school.
【x】Audition?
【ET】Yes, I have to go now. I’m not sure what time I have to wait. You can have lunch by yourself and I will pick you up later.
【x】I can eat by myself when I’m hungry, good luck in your audition!
【x】Cat blowing the horn.jpg
Lu Wenxing changed his clothes on purpose. When he called Gu Yanshen in the morning, Gu Yanshen excerpted the audition script for him.
There are not many lines, so there is no chance of forgetting them. What Lu Wenxing needs to figure out is the character's image and the emotional expression and reaction to the current situation.
Lu Wenxing has read the original novel, made relevant reading notes, and even wrote biographies for his favorite characters.
He didn't dare to say that he knew Mo Xu best, but he certainly knew more than most of the original fans.
Gu Yanshen will ask someone to pick up Lu Wenxing to go to the scene. Now that the person has not arrived yet, Lu Wenxing has practiced several times in the dormitory by himself.
At around 1:30 in the afternoon, Lu Wenxing received a strange phone call.
It was the person who came to pick him up.
Lu Wenxing took his coat and went out. There was only one car at the school gate, which was the one that Gu Yanshen used to take Lu Wenxing back to school yesterday.
After Lu Wenxing walked over, the car window was rolled down, revealing a cute and adorable face.
"Hello, Xingxing." The girl's eyes curved and she was a little excited to see Lu Wenxing.
"I didn't expect you to be prettier in person than on TV!"
"Hello." Lu Wenxing's eyes fell on the girl, "How about I drive?"
Lu Wenxing held the passenger door, always feeling that it was ungentlemanly to let a girl drive her. You know, Gu Yanshen would ask a girl to make a special trip, but Lu Wenxing would choose to go by herself.
"No, don't worry, I'm a good driver."
"I didn't mean to say that you are a bad driver." Lu Wenxing opened the car door and got in.
"I know."
The girl waved her hand nonchalantly, then stared at Lu Wenxing for a few seconds. "Xingxing, your skin is so good. I'm so envious! I can't even see the pores."
Lu Wenxing blinked and said, "Just think of it as you praising me for being handsome."
The girl burst out laughing, "My name is Qin Siyu."
"Is Siyu Mr. Gu's assistant?" It's no wonder Lu Wenxing thought so. Gu Yanshen asked someone to pick him up. Then, Qin Siyu appeared.
But Lu Wenxing was not sure, because Qin Siyu looked only about eighteen or nineteen years old.
"No." Qin Siyu held the steering wheel, drove away from the school section and accelerated towards the city.
"Brother Yan Shen asked Sheng Chao to come. Sheng Chao couldn't leave because of something, so I came for him."
Lu Wenxing was a little surprised, "Are you Sheng Chao's friend?"
"Yeah." Qin Siyu responded, and said openly without any reason to hide, "I'm his girlfriend."
Lu Wenxing: “…!”
Sheng Chao looked to be around 27 or 28 years old, but Qin Siyu in front of him only looked to be around 18 or 19 years old.
Lu Wenxing wanted to complain, is Sheng Chao the one he went to the high school department to pursue?
Lu Wenxing did not show his surprise, but responded with a sound to show that he understood.
"How is Xingxing preparing?"
"good."
On the way, Qin Siyu received a call from Sheng Chao.
"Sisi, did you pick up Lu Wenxing?"
"I got it." Qin Siyu said with a smile, "You are still not confident in my work."
"Don't worry, don't worry. Please help me send the person over first, and I will come to find you later."
After about half an hour, the two arrived at the audition location.
After Lu Wenxing came in, the stage manager took him to the backstage.
As soon as he appeared, the eyes of the people who were talking enthusiastically all fell on him.
But he just looked at Lu Wenxing for a moment, then turned his gaze away and continued the previous topic.
"So, Le Hanfei will also come for the audition this afternoon?"
"It seems he has arrived. Someone just said they saw him. He was protected by his agent and assistant."
One of the young men who had already changed into ancient costumes said, "Don't say it, big stars just have a different aura."
"What role is Le Hanfei auditioning for? Is it necessary for us little stars to audition after he's on the show?"
"I don't know which role to try out for. Even though it's not the lead role, it should be a supporting role with more scenes."
Le Hanfei has a new drama released recently, and his popularity on Weibo remains high. Although he cannot be compared with Song Jiajia and Gu Yanshen, Le Hanfei is definitely one of the most promising traffic stars in recent years.
But Lu Wenxing didn't feel any pressure. No matter which role Le Hanfei was trying out for, it had little to do with him. He just had to do his best and play his role well.
After Lu Wenxing changed into the ancient costume, the stylist put a wig on him. Since it was just an audition, the makeup artist only gave him a simple makeup.
But even so, when he came out, everyone in the backfield was stunned.
Lu Wenxing was seen in a blue suit, with her long hair tied up with a white jade crown, her eyebrows raised, her nose high, and her lips cherry red.
A young man full of vigor and vitality.
This description from the novel flashed through the minds of many people present.
Lu Wenxing had merely changed his clothes, but they seemed to have really seen the proud and unruly Mo Xu riding a maroon horse as described in the novel.
"You're auditioning for the role of the young Mo Xu?"
Someone took the initiative to talk to Lu Wenxing.
"right."
"You look amazing!"
"For a moment, I seemed to really see Mo Xu."
"I also like the young 'Mo Xu'."
Lu Wenxing was surrounded and chatted with a few people for a while, and then he was called to the audition site by the stage manager.
When Lu Wenxing walked in, Le Hanfei was on stage wearing the same clothes as him.
Lu Wenxing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, and he didn't expect that Le Hanfei would be testing the role of 'Mo Xu'.
Le Hanfei is handsome and his appearance in ancient costume is also eye-catching.
The director gave two excerpts for this role, and Le Hanfei chose the first one - Mo Xu's first meeting with the young Mo Xu "You said, are you my future self?"
There was curiosity in Le Hanfei's lively eyes. Although he was new to the world, he was simple but not stupid. He looked at the person who came with a little caution.
"I don't believe it unless you can prove it to me."
There was no one to act with, and Le Hanfei paused for a few seconds, as if waiting for the non-existent 'Mo Xu' to finish speaking.
"Although you can tell me about my childhood, it only proves that you have done a very detailed investigation." Le Hanfei took a step back and took out the wooden sword. "What are you doing in our Windless Valley? Who asked you to come?"
"The Windless Valley is isolated from the outside world. If you didn't come here to investigate or have some other ulterior motive, how could you find this place?"
"I don't believe you, stand away."
"What does it have to do with me if you're injured?"
Le Hanfei said indifferent words, but his eyes could not stop glancing at the wound on Mo Xu's shoulder. Seeing the wound that was bleeding continuously, his face showed hesitation and conflict.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? If you die, I can't live? How is that possible?"
…
The two of them had a conversation back and forth, which ended when Mo Xu fell down.
Looking at Mo Xu, who was pale a few steps away from him, Le Hanfei walked forward cautiously to check.
After much hesitation, I finally couldn't bear to leave him here.
"I don't want to save you, I just don't want anyone to die in my Windless Valley." Le Hanfei drooped his eyelashes, helped the person on the ground up with difficulty, and slowly walked towards the nearest resting place.
"How can this person be so heavy! And so cold, how can I possibly become such an icy face in the future? Stop bluffing me."
The performance ends here. Le Hanfei’s lines are good, his facial expressions are very natural, and his emotions are full enough without being superficial or over-acting.
It can be said that it is handled very accurately.
Compared to the others who auditioned, Le Hanfei's performance was much better, and the director's tense face showed signs of relaxing.
"Next, Lu Wenxing."
When Lu Wenxing came on the stage, he happened to meet Le Hanfei who was coming down. The two of them nodded slightly as a greeting.
The clip that Lu Wenxing chose was different from Le Hanfei's. He chose the clip where he was attacked by the righteous path after being with Mo Xu for a month.
"Who are you and why did you trespass into the Windless Valley?" Lu Wenxing raised his chin, and what revealed in his eyes was not vigilance but arrogance.
"I advise you to leave quickly. If my masters find out that someone has trespassed and start trouble, I won't be able to stop them."
With just two short sentences, the director's eyes lit up and the expression on his face became more serious.
Lu Wenxing was not distracted by the audience. He was staring at the few people who broke in front of him, and his tone was both threatening and persuasive.
"Windless Valley doesn't care about worldly affairs. Your right and wrong and grudges have nothing to do with us. But Ayu belongs to Windless Valley, so there is no reason for me to hand him over to you."
At this time, the demon Mo Xu had been recuperating in the Windless Valley for a month, so he was naturally classified as one of the young Mo Xu's own.
And was named Ayu by the young man Mo Xu.
"You mean Ayu? He's so weak that he can't even kill a chicken, how can he possibly kill someone?" Lu Wenxing sneered, "If you want to scare me, find another excuse."
Mo Xu spent a month recuperating in Windless Valley, but the young Mo Xu never took the words of the devil Mo Xu seriously, nor did he believe that the devil Mo Xu was his future self.
"Ayu, don't worry. I didn't believe what they said." Lu Wenxing raised his hand and shook it in the air, as if he was holding Mo Xu's hand, and his tone was slightly soothing.
"Why can't I believe him? Ayu and I have known each other for a month, of course I know what he is like. You guys come up and say bad things about Ayu, and I don't know you, so why should I believe what you say?"
"You'd better leave quickly. Otherwise..." Lu Wenxing straightened his back and said righteously.
"I'll ask my master to beat you up."
——Puff
The people present couldn't help laughing out loud, but when they realized what was happening, they immediately covered their mouths to keep quiet.
He hurriedly looked at the director and was relieved to see that he was not angry.
"good."
The director's mouth corners were obviously raised, and his eyes were filled with surprise as if he had discovered a treasure.
"Thank you, Director Wang." Lu Wenxing was not modest and generously accepted the director's affirmation of just two words.
Lu Wenxing looked up and found that Gu Yanshen had been leaning against the door, looking at him quietly.
Lu Wenxing's gaze fell, and Gu Yanshen curled his lips.
The director has interviewed more than a dozen 'Mo Xu' from this morning till now. None of them showed dissatisfaction, but he also did not deliberately keep anyone. They all went back to wait for news.
Only Lu Wenxing was recognized by the director.
Le Hanfei's acting is very good, not exaggerated to the point of being impeccable, but just looking at that performance, his body language is well displayed, including the expression on his face, even his eyes are very lively.
The acting of today's popular stars in the entertainment industry is stiff and rigid. Compared with them, Le Hanfei can be said to be excellent.
But Le Hanfei's understanding of this role was not enough, he played a boy who had never been born, but he did not play 'Mo Xu'.
His eyes were too lively. Facing the stranger, the devil 'Mo Xu', Le Hanfei's eyes were filled with curiosity and alertness, including worry and confusion after seeing the devil 'Mo Xu' fall down in front of him.
"The Windless Valley is isolated from the outside world. If you didn't come here to investigate or have some other ulterior motive, how could you find this place?"
This line was actually said by the young man Mo Xu to tease the big devil. He had already seen that the person in front of him was also surprised that he would appear here.
When the two first met, it seemed that the big devil wanted the young man 'Mo Xu' to save him, but in fact Mo Xu wanted the big devil to stay.
He was full of curiosity about what the man in front of him said.
And the last sentence he said when he saved the man was not a tsundere. He didn't know if the big devil was really asleep and said it on purpose for him to hear.
It's true that the young man 'Mo Xu' would be curious about outsiders, because he had never been out of Windless Valley and he was full of yearning for the outside world.
So when he met the devil 'Mo Xu', he was more interested than wary.
The 'Mo Xu' played by Le Hanfei is too reserved, unlike the proud young man who is eager to become famous.
The good thing about Lu Wenxing is that he plays the pride of the young man 'Mo Xu' to the fullest.
He looks just like a kid who was spoiled by his master and has never experienced any "beatings" in the world. He is confident and arrogant, and his arrogance is justified.
The sentence "I will call my master to beat you up" is a funny point here. This is completely the talk of a child. Only those who have not experienced the world will use elders to suppress others.
But Mo Xu didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. In his eyes, his master was the most powerful person, so when an "outsider" invaded, he would use his master to intimidate him.
He spoke with confidence and with a hint of pride that "my master is the best in the world".
Not only the director's eyes lit up, but even the staff present were pleasantly surprised, as if they had really seen the innocent and proud 'Mo Xu' who was ignorant of the world.
He rode a big maroon horse, looking at the big devil Mo Xu under the horse, with complacency and pride in his eyes. He had high hopes for the future, wanting to grow up quickly and go out of the valley to explore the world like his senior brothers and sisters.
"One day, I will be famous."
The seventeen-year-old Mo Xu said this to the big devil Mo Xu.
Lu Wenxing's performance is remarkable. He can't match Le Hanfei's experience and skills. But his performance is very natural, and it is precisely because of this that the feeling he presents is "Mo Xu".
…
Of course, we still have to wait and see what the final result will be.
After Lu Wenxing came down, Gu Yanshen walked over and he knew that he had not chosen the wrong person. Lu Wenxing was very suitable for this role both in terms of appearance and performance.
There is no trace of acting, it's very natural, or he is just 'Mo Xu' when he is on stage.
"You performed very well." Gu Yanshen smiled faintly, "Should I ask Sheng Chao to take you back?"
Lu Wenxing originally wanted to invite Gu Yanshen to dinner, but when he heard him say that, he knew that he had something else to do.
"No, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I have to go back to City B to celebrate the New Year. Next time, I should say see you on Weekend Unlimited next year."
Gu Yanshen smiled and said, "One Hundred Ghosts will start filming at the end of February, which is earlier than the start time of Infinity. Why not meet at the theater of One Hundred Ghosts?"
"Then I'm looking forward to it." Lu Wenxing also curled his lips and smiled.
“I look forward to Mr. Gu’s ‘Mo Xu’ and also look forward to the opportunity to work with Mr. Gu again.”
There were two auditions today. Director Wang and the producer were casting here. Gu Yanshen and the assistant director were casting in the next room. As he was the investor of the film, he would naturally pay more attention to it.
If both sides conduct the audition at the same time, the progress will be much faster, and the entire audition will be recorded, so if there are any questions afterwards, you can also discuss them by watching the video.
…
After Lu Wenxing came out, he didn't expect Qin Siyu was still at the door, so he walked up to greet him.
"Are you waiting for Sheng Chao?"
Qin Siyu: "I'm waiting for you."
"I just saw you performing at the door. I didn't expect you to be so good."
"Thank you." Lu Wenxing asked again, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Yes." Qin Siyu said, "I was worried that it would affect your mentality, so I didn't dare to chat with you."
"What is it?"
"Xingxing, are you and Wenyu on good terms? I watched Weekend Without Limits, and Wenyu said that you two are friends."
Lu Wenxing didn't expect this to be the question, and didn't know what to say for a moment. His relationship with Wen Yu was certainly not a good one, but the problem was not with Wen Yu, but with Lu Wenxing himself.
Qin Siyu thought that this question made Lu Wenxing embarrassed, so she explained. "Sorry, it's okay if it's inconvenient to answer. I just want to see Wen Yu."
"Are you his fan?"
"No." Qin Siyu shook his head.
"I think he looks a lot like a friend I knew when I was a kid, but I'm not sure. It's okay, I'm just asking casually, you don't have to take it to heart."
Lu Wenxing didn't ask any more questions, but responded. Qin Siyu said, "If you have something to do, go back first. I'll wait for Sheng Chao to come here."
"Okay, bye."
…
Lu Wenxing went back to school to get his luggage before driving to Xie Chengfei's school to pick him up.
Lu Wenxing bought the car a few months ago. He rarely drives it because parking spaces are too difficult to find in City C. Most of the time, it is more convenient to take a taxi without having to worry about parking issues.
When Lu Wenxing was about to arrive, he sent a WeChat message to Xie Chengfei.
As soon as I arrived at the school gate, I saw Xie Chengfei pushing a black suitcase. There were a few girls standing around him, talking to him with a smile.
After seeing Lu Wenxing's car, Xie Chengfei came over with a suitcase. Lu Wenxing opened the trunk and let him put the suitcase.
"Fasten your seatbelts."
Xie Chengfei got in the car.
"Brother, what did you buy? There are so many things in the trunk?"
"It's OK, a New Year's gift for Ms. Lu and Mr. Xie."
City C is not far from City B, and the journey takes more than two hours.
Ms. Lu knew that the two brothers were coming back, so she prepared the ingredients early and waited for the two brothers to come for a reunion dinner.
The small town in City B was still filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. When the two arrived, Xie Nian was cleaning the yard.
"Dad." Xie Chengfei started calling from a distance.
“I’m back.”
A smile immediately appeared on Xie Nian's face. He opened the yard gate and let Lu Wenxing's car drive in.
"Beautiful Ms. Lu, your son is back."
Xie Nian shouted towards the house, and after a while Lu Xiaofei came out holding a spatula, with an unconcealable look of happiness on her face.
"Cheng Fei, Wen Xing."
The two were escorted into the house by Xie Nian and Lu Xiaofei. "Are you hungry?"
“Not hungry.”
Seeing his son coming back, Lu Xiaofei was in a very good mood. "Are you tired from driving? I'll ask your dad to get you a glass of water."
"No, I can do it myself." Lu Wenxing stood up, "I want to drink juice."
"I want to drink too. Pour me a glass." Xie Chengfei didn't want to move once he sat on the sofa.
"You won't fall by yourself." Ms. Lu pinched Xie Chengfei. His slightly chubby face felt quite comfortable to pinch.
"Hey! Mom, I'm almost 18 years old, and you're still pinching me like this. If someone sees me, I'll be laughed at."
"What's so funny? What's wrong with me pinching my son's face?"
Lu Wenxing poured three glasses of juice and a glass of warm water for the people. The warm water was for Ms. Lu. She had a bad stomach and needed to be on a diet. She basically didn't drink beverages, and only drank warm water.
"Wen Xing, is it fun to record the variety show? I see you have a good relationship with Actor Gu. Your agent treats you well, right? He got you such a good resource."
Lu Wenxing always reports good news but not bad news, so he did not mention the termination of his contract with Mango Music. He just responded vaguely and then changed the subject.
"Ms. Lu, your dress looks really nice. It really shows your temperament."
Lu Wenxing and Xie Chengfei would occasionally imitate Xie Nian and call her "Ms. Lu", and would also follow Lu Xiaofei and call her "Mr. Xie".
"Really?"
Lu Xiaofei stood up, turned around, and said happily, "It's quite expensive. I was reluctant to buy it. But your dad said it looks good and insisted on buying it for me."
Lu Wenxing and Xie Chengfei have become accustomed to the couple showing their affection anytime and anywhere. Seeing that Xie Nian was still in the kitchen, Lu Wenxing got up and went in to help.
Lu Xiaofei poked Xie Chengfei's waist, "What's wrong with your brother?"
Xie Chengfei looked confused, "What's wrong?"
"When I asked him about work in the past, he always answered in detail. But today he doesn't seem to want to talk about it. Did something happen at work?"
Seeing Lu Xiaofei's worried face, Xie Chengfei shrugged helplessly, "Do you think my brother will tell me if he has something to say? But he's going to a movie audition this afternoon, so he should have no problem with work."
"Yeah?"
Lu Xiaofei looked suspiciously at Lu Wenxing who was helping Xie Nian cut fruit in the kitchen.
The next day, New Year’s Eve.
Lu Xiaofei and Xie Nian prepared a large table of New Year’s Eve dinner and invited Xie Chengfei and Lu Wenxing to come and eat.
The family was in a happy mood at the dinner table. After dinner, they sat on the sofa and watched the Spring Festival Gala. Lu Wenxing went back to the room and took out the gifts he had prepared.
"Mom, Happy New Year!" Lu Wenxing handed her two or three gift boxes.
"Kid, I told you not to buy gifts. You're already twenty years old, and you'll have to get married and buy a house if you have a girlfriend."
"Mom, I made a lot of money from filming this variety show. After the New Year, I plan to buy a house in City C and take you and dad to live there."
"No, your father and I are used to living here." Lu Xiaofei thought for a moment and reminded, "I heard that buying a house in a big city is expensive, so be careful not to get cheated."
"I know."
Lu Wenxing took another gift bag and handed it to Xie Nian, "Dad, Happy New Year."
"Just buy it for your mother. I don't need it. I have to wear work clothes to work. It's a waste to buy clothes for me."
"Who says it's a waste? You can wear it during the Spring Festival."
"What about me? What about me?" Xie Chengfei stared at the remaining bags, eager to open them.
Lu Wenxing handed a white gift bag to Xie Chengfei, and Xie Chengfei opened it with joy... Inside was a familiar gift box.
Lu Xiaofei recognized this gift box. In "Weekend Without Limits", the bag of rabbits that Song Jiajia gave to Lu Wenxing was packed in this box.
Looking at the neatly arranged nest of rabbits, Xie Chengfei's smile gradually froze.
"Why did you give me this?"
He looked at Lu Wenxing in shock and disbelief.
"Weren't you enjoying yourself in my dorm last week?"
Xie Chengfei fell silent. Last week, he went to Lu Wenxing's dormitory and did touch the bunny doll. He actually wanted to laugh at Lu Wenxing.
When Lu Wenxing asked him if he liked it?
He also deliberately contradicted Lu Wenxing and said "I like it".
Then……
This litter of rabbits became his New Year's gift.
Xie Chengfei: “…”
So, Lu Wenxing didn’t understand his sarcasm?
Xie Chengfei still had a bewildered look on his face. He looked up at Lu Wenxing and found that the other party was trying to hold back his smile. Only then did he realize that he had been fooled. Lu Wenxing knew it and it was obvious that he had done it on purpose.
When Lu Xiaofei saw the nest of rabbits, she touched them in amazement, "So cute. I wanted one so much when I watched the variety show."
Xie Chengfei snatched it back and said, "This is my gift."
"Don't you like it?"
Xie Chengfei raised his neck, "I didn't say I didn't like it."
Lu Xiaofei deliberately said "Oh" in an exaggerated voice, "So you like her? Oh, boys, don't be so arrogant. You have to tell the truth. You won't be able to get a girlfriend if you are so arrogant."
"Mom, I'm not even eighteen yet."
"Isn't it almost time? You can start dating after the college entrance exam. Your dad and I met in college..."
"Okay, okay. I get it. I've heard your love story countless times. Be nice to the two dogs at home during the New Year."
Lu Wenxing really likes this heartwarming scene. It seems that the gift of a nest of rabbits was not a mistake.
The rabbit is exactly the same as the one Song Jiajia gave, but it is not Song Jiajia's. Whether he likes it or not, Lu Wenxing will not convey the kindness of others.
He asked Song Jiajia for the Tutu purchase link and placed an order for the same model.
"Well, there's more."
Lu Wenxing was just teasing Xie Chengfei. Of course, a New Year's gift couldn't be just a bag of dolls.
"What's this?"
Xie Chengfei was a little wary, as he was worried that Lu Wenxing would give him all the gifts he received on the show.
Thinking of the pile of pink gifts, Xie Chengfei felt suffocated.
"Open it and take a look."
Xie Chengfei took it out of the bag. Inside was a shoe box. He opened it and saw a pair of new sneakers from N brand. "Brother, where did you buy them from?"
Although N's sneakers are not a particularly high-end luxury brand, the new models are always hard to buy.
"This pair of shoes must cost tens of thousands of dollars." Ms. Lu has seen her relatives' children wearing them.
"You can just buy him a pair of shoes that cost thousands of dollars. Why would a high school student like him wear such expensive sneakers?"
Lu Xiaofei didn't understand boys' preference for shoes, but despite this, on Lu Wenxing's birthday, Lu Xiaofei, who was reluctant to spend thousands of dollars on clothes, still asked her relatives to bring Lu Wenxing a pair of sneakers worth nearly ten thousand yuan.
"He got first place in the grade again at the end of the semester, so just take this as a reward," said Lu Wenxing.
"First place?"
"Mom, you don't care about me at all. My brother knows my grades, but you never asked."
Lu Xiaofei: "What's the big deal? You always get it, it's nothing new. Your dad was also the top student in his high school, I thought he was awesome..."
Xie Chengfei: “…”
It's not a new thing for him to get first place, it's amazing that his father got first place.
Is Ms. Lu too hypocritical?
The family chatted while watching the Spring Festival Gala, and occasionally they would say a few words to each other.
Time passed quickly, and as it was almost twelve o'clock, Lu Wenxing remembered that he had not sent out any New Year's greetings text messages this year.
He went back to the room to get his phone, and WeChat notifications kept ringing. It should be the WeChat group sending New Year greetings.
Lu Wenxing unlocked the screen and found a missed call with a red mark, two hours ago.
Caller: Teacher Gu.
Lu Wenxing’s first reaction was to call back, but after calling, he remembered that it was almost midnight and perhaps Gu Yanshen was celebrating the New Year with his family.
He was about to hang up when the person on the other end picked up the phone before him.
"Hello."
Lu Wenxing paused, "Teacher Gu, Happy New Year's Eve!"
"Yeah." Gu Yanshen responded, "Lu Wenxing, congratulations!"
When Lu Wenxing heard this, his heartbeat quickened. To make Gu Yanshen call to congratulate him, it must be
Yesterday's audition and casting.
"See you on the set of 'One Hundred Ghosts' next year."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu." Lu Wenxing was quite surprised that he got the role. "The casting was confirmed so quickly?"
"Yes, Director Wang plans to make the announcement after the New Year."
"Then why did Teacher Gu tell me in advance?"
Lu Wenxing particularly liked and was very happy about the "New Year's gift" that Gu Yanshen suddenly gave her.
“Mr. Lu is so busy, if I don’t make an appointment in advance, I’m afraid you will run away.”
Lu Wenxing burst out laughing instantly, "I won't run, but I'm also looking forward to... working with Teacher Gu."
"I'm looking forward to it too." The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly
