After listening to the system, Du Yuanzhe decided to change his attitude towards Wang Linxuan.
He had previously wanted to get rid of Wang Lianxuan, but after learning that the Luck Plundering System could change hosts indefinitely, he changed his mind and decided that it would be best if the Luck Plundering System could not leave Wang Lianxuan.
The system told Du Yuanzhe that it could tell that the Luck Plundering System had used special means on Wang Linxuan. If the other party changed the host, the system would not be able to detect it.
Rather than facing an unknown opponent, it is better to continue dealing with Wang Lianxuan.
But not dealing with Wang Lianxuan does not mean allowing her to stir up trouble; surveillance of her must continue.
Xia Ningmi returned from a business trip the day after the official announcement of the female lead in "Yun Miao". The total business trip lasted less than a week, which is relatively short.
Du Yuanzhe felt that the time was very long. He hadn't seen Xia Ningmi at home these few days, and he always felt like something was missing. He always lacked energy to eat alone in the evening.
Habit is a terrible thing. He had lived with Xia Ningmi for more than 20 years, but he could no longer adapt to living alone after living with her for less than a year.
As soon as Xia Ningmi opened the door and walked in, Du Yuanzhe couldn't control his excitement. He walked over quickly and hugged her. He smelled her familiar scent and felt satisfied. "Why didn't you tell me so I could pick you up at the airport?"
Xia Ningmi closed her eyes and leaned into his arms, saying, "I'm not a child."
Du Yuanzhe was dissatisfied: "Who said that only children need to be picked up? My girlfriend is back from a business trip, so what's wrong with me wanting to pick her up at the airport? Didn't you pick me up before?"
Xia Ning tried to compromise: "I'll let you pick it up next time."
Du Yuanzhe hugged her tightly: "It's better not to have a next time."
"That's not going to happen."
Du Yuanzhe was helpless: "You don't have to be so honest. Can't I just think about it?"
Xia Ningmi said nothing more.
Cheng Yu, who was ignored by the two people, saw this scene, with excitement suppressed in his eyes. It turned out that the president and the second young master got along like this in private. For some reason, he felt that the president leaning in the second young master's arms was a little obedient.
Cheng Yu didn't dare to interrupt the young couple. After putting down the suitcase, he left quietly.
However, Du Yuanzhe still heard the slight sound she made when she closed the door. He let go of Xia Ningmi and looked towards the door: "I think I heard some sound?"
Xia Ning saw the suitcase at the entrance and said, "Cheng Yu came back with me."
Du Yuanzhe's face froze, and he silently recalled his actions just now. He felt relieved when he felt that he had not done anything to ruin his image.
"Why didn't Qiqi remind me?"
He was not used to being close to Xia Ningmi in front of outsiders.
Xia Ningmi walked into the living room: "I thought you saw it."
She really didn't expect that Du Yuanzhe would not notice Cheng Yu, a living person.
Du Yuanzhe thought about it and realized that it was indeed his own fault. He said, "At that time, I only had you in my eyes. How could I see anyone else?"
Xia Ning paused, looked around and said, "I heard that when a girlfriend is not at home, a man will always make a mess of the house."
The house was still very clean, no different from when she left.
Du Yuanzhe laughed when he heard that: "You sound like you did the housework when you were at home. Isn't it the housekeeper who does all the housework in our house?"
They didn't even have to buy groceries. Someone would come to replace the ingredients in the refrigerator every few days. If Du Yuanzhe hadn't deliberately avoided them, their cohabitation would have been discovered long ago.
Xia Ning looked at him and asked, "What have you been doing at home these days?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "It's the same as before, working out, playing games, and using the phone. Oh, there's one more thing, chatting with you."
They were separated for five days. Du Yuanzhe would send her a message whenever he missed Xia Ningmi, and would also send her anything interesting he saw. He did this so often that she was worried that Xia Ningmi would find him annoying.
However, Xia Ningmi didn't say anything. No matter what he sent, as long as Xia Ningmi was free, she would respond.
Xia Ning glanced at the row of green plants on the balcony and said, "You forgot to mention one thing."
Du Yuanzhe said, "Brother Liu brought these here, saying they would liven up our house. I also felt that our house was too dull, so I asked him to put in some more. This kind of green plant is easy to grow, just remember to water it and loosen the soil regularly."
Xia Ningmi retracted her gaze: "You are responsible!"
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "Of course I am in charge when I am at home, but if I go out to film, then you will be in charge."
Xia Ning frowned and looked at him.
Du Yuanzhe knew she was bothering him, so he said, "Just water them when you have time. You don't even need to water them in winter. It's a simple thing. Don't always think about work. Take a look at these green plants occasionally to change your mood."
He got these green plants because he thought that when he was not at home, there would be something to divert Xia Ningmi's attention, which was better than just thinking about work every day.
Xia Ningmi was still not happy, but Du Yuanzhe showed his strength for once and did not give her a chance to refuse, so it was settled.
The two of them sat on the sofa, and Du Yuanzhe asked, "The official announcement of Yunmiao was made so quickly. Was it your order?"
Xia Ningmi asked, "Aren't you always worried about having too many dreams at night?"
Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "I knew Qiqi was thinking about me. Wang Lianxuan will probably find out who is protecting Lingling behind the scenes. That person is a bit shady, so it's best not to let her find out about you."
Xia Ning said: "If I don't want anyone to find out, she won't find out anything."
Wang Lianxuan is not Jiang Chelin. Although she relies on Grandpa Jiang, she does not have the Jiang family's connections. With her ability, what she can find out is actually very limited.
Du Yuanzhe was relieved: "That's good. We don't need to put ourselves in the open. Enemies in the dark will be more feared."
If the Luck Plundering System cannot find them, it will become cautious, and once it is cautious, it will easily become hesitant. As long as it hesitates, it will give Du Yuanzhe a chance.
Xia Ningmi said nothing.
She had long suspected that Du Yuanzhe was dealing with a special enemy, but she couldn't guess what it was without Du Yuanzhe telling her, and she couldn't even detect what he was thinking.
All she could do was to support Du Yuanzhe with all her strength and help him accomplish what he wanted to do.
In the entire Yancheng, there are few things that Xia Ningmi cannot do.
......
In the car
Liu Xu said, "You'll be busy for a while. After taking the promotional photos for this endorsement, you'll have to take photos for three more endorsements, and you'll also have to arrange a magazine cover."
Liu Xu was very picky when choosing endorsements for Du Yuanzhe. At the very least, it had to be a quasi-first-tier endorsement. Even so, he still got him three endorsements.
In addition, there is another magazine to be shot, and it is the cover of a top men's magazine. Although the August issue is not an important month, it is already very good for Du Yuanzhe to be on the cover of a top men's magazine for the first time.
There are five major men's magazines in the entertainment industry. Every male star wants to be on the covers of all five men's magazines to achieve a grand slam dunk, but not many people have accomplished this.
As soon as Du Yuanzhe became famous, he was able to appear on the cover of a top men's magazine. This was not only a recognition of his fame, but also a recognition of his appearance, and it could quickly increase his value.
When Liu Xu received the invitation to shoot for a magazine, he almost thought he had misheard.
Du Yuanzhe said: "Brother Liu can make the arrangements. I am not too busy."
Every artist will have a lot more schedules when they first become famous, but Du Yuanzhe's schedule is already very small.
He can only have these few schedules now, not only because Liu Xu looks down on endorsements below the quasi-first-tier level, but also because Xia Ningmi personally gave the order, allowing Du Yuanzhe to choose freely.
Whenever Liu Xu thought of it, he sighed: "Thanks to President Xia's words, those senior executives didn't force us to do anything."
Xiaopang said, "Now everyone in the company is guessing whether Xiaodu has privately asked Xia for help."
Du Yuanzhe had no schedule before, so Xiaopang was also free. He has a pleasing appearance and a sweet mouth, and has good relationships with many people in the company. He can always quickly get to know all kinds of news in the company.
Du Yuanzhe casually turned the white ring on his left hand and said, "Let them guess slowly. I really want to know if anyone can guess it correctly."
He was in a very conflicted mood, hoping to keep it a secret for a while longer, but at the same time he couldn't accept that they didn't even think that he and Xia Ningmi might have a relationship.
Liu Xu glanced at his ring and said, "I have arranged a luxury brand endorsement for you. Their company just launched a new jewelry. Apart from anything else, you must wear their ring when you attend events in the future."
The ring on Du Yuanzhe's left middle finger fame is too conspicuous. So far, he has never worn the ring in public, but as his increases, someone will definitely take photos of him at the airport or other private photos of him shopping. As long as the ring is photographed once, fans will notice it.
Instead of always being on guard, it is better to wear it openly, you just need to wear one more.
Du Yuanzhe readily accepted: "That's perfect. It saves me from having to take off my ring all the time."
Liu Xu snorted coldly: "It is because of this ring of yours that I tried to help you contact this jewelry brand. Thanks to your hard work, they are willing to hire you as a brand ambassador. Otherwise, I would have to advise you to wear the ring as a necklace around your neck for the time being."
"Sorry for the trouble, Brother Liu."
"Agents are meant to be hard workers. I'm used to it. After we sign the contract in a few days, you can put the ring on. From now on, whenever you wear rings on your hands, you must wear at least two."
Du Yuanzhe suddenly had an idea and said, "If I wear ten gold rings, will people think I am deliberately showing off my wealth?"
Liu Xu's eyebrows jumped, and he said coldly: "People will only think that you are a fool, the kind of person who is stupid and has a lot of money."
Du Yuanzhe had no choice but to give up the idea: "Forget it, I want to maintain my image as a male god."
Due to the hit TV series “Legend of Yun Lan”, the character Luo Xun played by Du Yuanzhe became extremely popular and many people have named him as their male god. He saw many fans changed their profile pictures to Luo Xun under his Weibo.
The group quickly arrived at the filming location. Before getting off the car, Du Yuanzhe took off his ring and put it away carefully without Liu Xu's reminder.
Seeing them get off the bus, the person in charge came up to them and said, "Teacher Du, I'm going to trouble you from now on."
Du Yuanzhe said, "I will fully cooperate. Just don't think I have no experience, Mr. Wang."
Mr. Wang laughed and said, "Our photographer said earlier that with Teacher Du's looks, she doesn't need to do anything, just stand still."
"Which photography teacher praised me so much? I'll give him a chicken drumstick for lunch today."
Hearing this, everyone else laughed.
President Wang was in a good mood. The company's new spokesperson did not become popular immediately after it was announced. He spoke modestly and humorously. There was no need to worry about the future cooperation.
Taking promotional photos is actually similar to filming a movie, as both require changing clothes and putting on makeup. The only difference is that in filming, the role needs to be highlighted, while in endorsement, the product needs to be highlighted.
For example, Du Yuanzhe was endorsing a watch, so when he put on makeup and stood in front of the camera, the photographer reminded him of several poses, all of which were to make the watch more conspicuous.
I even took a few close-ups of the hands.
Taking promotional photos is not an easy task. Du Yuanzhe needs to change clothes several times and even his style. He has both the style of a nobleman and the style of a successful person.
Anyway, everything is to match the temperament of the watch.
Du Yuanzhe took a look at the photos during the break of shooting and admired the photographer's ability to take pictures. The photos he took made people feel that Du Yuanzhe and the watch complemented each other.
It gives people the feeling that Du Yuanzhe has gained a lot of points by wearing this watch.
“Are all photographers who take promotional photos so amazing?”
Liu Xu heard his sigh and said, "Even good wine needs to be hidden in the bush. For the company, the most important thing is publicity. Spending a little more money to hire a better photographer will be a steady profit for the company. The cost of hiring a photographer is nothing compared to your endorsement fee."
Du Yuanzhe: "Then I have to shoot well, for the sake of my photography skills and for my endorsement fee."
Xiaopang said with a smile: "Brother Zhe, don't forget to add chicken legs."
"Give him two more!"
At the same time, other staff members were also discussing Du Yuanzhe.
"Luo Xun is so handsome."
"His name is Du Yuanzhe. I've known him for a long time, but I didn't think he was so handsome before. I don't know if it's because of his fame, but I think he's even more handsome now."
"Not only is he handsome but also has a good personality. He even thanked me when I gave him some clothes. The celebrity we met before, on the other hand, didn't even say thank you. He treated us like servants and ordered us around with a clear conscience."
"That's right, some stars forget who they are once they become famous, as if they are so high up in status. Every time I meet such people, I want to ask them if they kneel down when they see someone who is higher in status than themselves."
"Hahaha, that's a good question. I'll ask you this one day if I really can't stand it anymore."
Gossip is human nature, especially when several people get together, they can't help gossiping.
Even though Du Yuanzhe didn't know what they were talking about, he could guess that the topic was related to him by noticing their occasional glances at him.
The filming continued until noon and had not yet been completed, so the person in charge announced that the filming would be suspended and everyone could eat first.
The dishes prepared for Du Yuanzhe and his companions were the specialty dishes of the chef from a nearby hotel. Just the smell was overwhelmed.
Du Yuanzhe had no resistance to delicious food and said, "After this meal, I will be able to function again."
Xiaopang and he are of the same mind: "It's better to work with Brother Zhe. You can always eat delicious food."
Liu Xu said: "Can you two be a little more cool?"
Du Yuanzhe: "We are expressing our admiration for the food."
Xiaopang nodded frantically.
Liu Xu is tired.
After lunch, they took a short break and then continued filming. As an actor, Du Yuanzhe was most familiar with the camera and did not waste time on unnatural expressions. They spent most of their time on makeup and changing clothes.
The filming didn't end until three in the afternoon.
Mr. Wang was very satisfied with the photo shoot and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Mr. Du, it was a pleasure to work with you today."
Du Yuanzhe shook hands with him and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Several people got in the car together, and Du Yuanzhe leaned back in his seat: "It's tiring to take photos for a whole day, but it's much better than being on a variety show. It turns out that endorsement fees are the easiest to earn."
Liu Xu glanced at him and said, "Want to take on more endorsements?"
“No.”
He has no desire for money, and he has already earned enough. According to his standards, he has reached the point where money is just a string of numbers.
To put it in a more specific way, there is no house in the whole city of Yancheng that he cannot afford.
In his previous life, Du Yuanzhe was used to measuring money with houses. When he thought of his savings, he subconsciously calculated in his mind how many houses it could buy.
In the evening, Xia Ningmi came home from get off work and saw him sitting on the sofa with lifeless eyes. She asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Du Yuanzhe then noticed that she had returned and said, "I was wondering if I should find someone to help me manage my finances. It's a waste to keep all my money in a bank card."
Xia Ningmi put down her handbag and said, "I can help you manage your finances."
Du Yuanzhe's eyes lit up: "Oh, that's right, I forgot that I have someone who knows how to manage money around me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Xia Ningmi and jokingly said, "Qiqi, have you been coveting my wallet for a long time, worried that I'm hiding some private money from you?"
Xia Ning raised her eyes to look at him, as if she was looking at a fool: "Have you forgotten where your money came from?"
Du Yuanzhe's expression froze.
He almost forgot that no matter whether it was film remuneration or endorsement fees, they would first be deposited into the company account and then paid to him after distribution and tax deduction.
As the president of the company, Xia Ningmi could just click her finger if she really wanted to know Du Yuanzhe's account details.
Du Yuanzhe murmured, "I really can't hide my private money anymore."
"You still have Du's dividends, you can hide that."
"Oh, yes, I also got dividends. Thanks for reminding me."
Du Yuanzhe suddenly realized that it was Xia Ningmi who said those words, and his expression gradually became stiff.
Xia Ningmi stood beside him and said calmly, "Tell me, what do you want to do by hiding your private money?"
Du Yuanzhe shrank his neck and said, "I just said it casually. I didn't really mean to hide it."
For people like them who have no shortage of money, private money doesn't mean much. They always have various sources of income, and Xia Ningmi has no intention of controlling his account.
Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows: "Hmm?"
Du Yuanzhe said, "Really not, I just ran out of things to say."
Xia Ningmi retracted her gaze and said, "I went to Yun'an Club today to discuss business and met Lu Xuan."
Du Yuanzhe was stunned: "Did he take the initiative to talk to you?"
Xia Ningmi said, "Ask me what you've been busy with lately, why don't you go play with him?"
Du Yuanzhe: "He just said some nonsense?"
Xia Ningmi nodded.
Du Yuanzhe's expression turned strange, and he said, "This guy is probably in a bad situation, and he is taking advantage of you."
Lu Xuan had been schemed against by Jiang Chelin before, and his status in the circle plummeted. None of the people at the gathering kept the secret for him. But within a few days, the news of Lu Xuan being cheated spread throughout the entire circle, and those young masters would make fun of him about it whenever they saw him.
"Lu Xuan might have been tortured by the previous incident, so he wanted to use you to help him block it."
Xia Ningmi said: "I guessed it."
Du Yuanzhe: "He will be retaliated by Jiang Chelin, mainly because of me instigating him. This time I will help him, but I can't let him off so easily."
He took out his cell phone and called Lu Xuan.
As soon as the call was connected, I heard Lu Xuan's almost flattering voice: "Brother Zhe, how come you have time to look for me?"
Du Yuanzhe shuddered: "Speak properly."
This guy has never called him brother.
Lu Xuan said sincerely, "You are one year older than me, so it is only right for me to call you brother. When I think about the past, I always feel that I was too rude. I will definitely correct it in the future."
Du Yuanzhe was silent, goose bumps all over his body.
"By the way, Brother Zhe, I met my sister-in-law at the Yun'an Club today. I thought that since I met her, I must say hello. I can't just pretend I didn't see her. So I chatted with my sister-in-law for a few words. Did my sister-in-law tell you?"
Du Yuanzhe finally understood that it didn't matter whether they were brothers or not, the Lu Xuan family wanted to call Xia Ningmi sister-in-law.
Du Yuanzhe leaned on the sofa and said quietly, "Didn't anyone say that we couldn't last long? I should have made plans early on."
Xia Ningmi's eyes turned cold, and that coldness seemed to be able to pierce through Lu Xuan through the phone.
Lu Xuan shuddered for no reason and said righteously, "Which bastard said that! Brother Zhe, don't believe it. I have long believed that you and sister-in-law will definitely be together forever. I am still waiting to drink in your wedding wine."
Xia Ningmi's expression softened a little after hearing this.
Du Yuanzhe said with a sigh, "Why didn't I realize that you are good at flattering people before?"
"I'm not a flatterer. These are all my true feelings."
Du Yuanzhe said unhappily, "Don't be so mean. I don't know you yet. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I don't think anything..."
Du Yuanzhe interrupted him: "This is your only chance to confess."
Lu Xuan was silent for a while, then sighed, "Brother Zhe, you don't know how I've been spending the past twenty days. Those bastards mocked me whenever they saw me, and even said that I was overestimating my own abilities and had to provoke Jiang Chelin. Now not many people dare to play with me anymore."
The Du family can protect the Lu family from being threatened by Jiang Chelin, but she cannot influence the attitudes of the young masters in the circle towards Lu Xuan.
"If this continues, I will be squeezed out. After thinking about it, I think only my sister-in-law can save me."
At this point, Lu Xuan said excitedly, "You didn't see the faces of those people today. I just said a few words to my sister-in-law, and they were so scared that they didn't dare to do anything. They also asked me indirectly how I knew my sister-in-law."
"Well, I'll tell them?"
There is a group of playboys in their circle. People in this circle have extensive connections, but they are also very realistic.
They were jealous of the Du family and did not dare to provoke them, but they would not be jealous of Lu Xuan because they were jealous of the Du family, because Lu Xuan offended Jiang Chelin.
But things were different with Xia Ningmi's involvement.
Xia Ningmi and Jiang Chelin are the two great gods in their circle, and no one dares to mess with them.
They were as afraid of Jiang Chelin as they were of Xia Ningmi.
These two are both ruthless people. If they accidentally make them unhappy, they will give them overseas travel packages and they may not be able to come back for several years.
This is some people's personal experience, not their own imagination.
Whenever they thought about the possibility that Lu Xuan was being protected by Xia Ningmi, their legs trembled. Not to mention mocking Lu Xuan anymore, they just hoped that Xia Ningmi would not hold them accountable for their previous actions.
Du Yuanzhe said, "I was the one who got you into trouble before. You can take advantage of her this time, but you are not allowed to do bad things under her name outside."
Lu Xuan was overjoyed: "I definitely won't do anything bad. Thank you, Brother Zhe. I'll treat you to a meal some other day."
Du Yuanzhe felt uncomfortable hearing this title. In order to legitimately call Xia Ningmi sister-in-law, Lu Xuan probably wouldn't change the title, so he could only force himself to adapt.
