Li Changsi stood at the gate of the manor and waited for a while, then saw a Bichon Frise as white as cotton candy running out from the flowers with its tail wagging, and excitedly biting her trouser leg.
Li Changsi was captivated by the cuteness. He picked up the puppy, stroked its furry head, and walked along the cobblestone path into the adjacent courtyard. Although it was early autumn, the courtyard was lush and green, with neatly arranged landscape trees and a rich, refreshing fragrance of osmanthus flowers.
The little Bichon Frise in my arms slipped down and ran happily towards a large osmanthus tree in front. Its snow-white little body bumped into the tree and fell upside down. A breeze blew by, and the autumn osmanthus petals fell like rain.
A handsome man reading under a tree was covered in golden osmanthus blossoms. He brushed the petals off his book and chuckled softly, "You're naughty again."
Li Changsi was struck by lightning. Looking at his back, which was as tall as a green bamboo, a dark current seemed to surge in his eyes. He called out softly, "Sir."
Lu Qi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, restrained his smile. He raised his eyes to reveal a handsome face that dimmed the spring light. His eyebrows were like peaks, his temples were like knife-cut hair, and his nose was high and straight, like a masterpiece carved by God.
No, sir. He had a small cinnabar mole at the corner of his eye. Appearance reflects the heart. This blood mole was born from killing. When he was alive, sir was reluctant to step on even an ant.
That person has a kind heart and a cold mind, but he doesn't like killing.
It's not him, he just looks like him.
Li Changsi's heart sank in an instant.
Seeing her staring at him, Lu Qi's big ebony eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, like an abandoned puppy. He put away the book in his hand and said in a low voice: "Are you here to look for marshmallows?"
The little Bichon Frise lying under the tree pretending to be dead jumped up happily when he heard his name, came over with a clatter, and circled around his wheelchair.
Li Changsi picked up the puppy, stroked its head, and asked, "So its name is Marshmallow. It's a very cute name. What about you?"
"Lu Qi."
Pray for the wish!
Li Changsi nodded. He saw that it was early autumn. He was wearing a beige cashmere turtleneck sweater and a thin knitted blanket on his legs. His face was handsome and gentle, like a piece of warm jade that had been deposited for thousands of years and was mined from the stone mountains in the deep mountains. It had no offensive power.
She leaned close to him, stopped three inches from the tip of her nose, and spoke word by word: "My name is Li Changsi, remember."
The scent suddenly approached, and the tip of my nose was filled with the faint scent of soap. In just a few seconds, the other person had retreated to a safe social distance, spread out beautiful, slender fingers, and said slowly, "You have osmanthus flowers on your hair."
Lu Qi looked at the small golden osmanthus flower in her palm, and the sparks in his eyes seemed to dim. Was she teasing him?
"Years of longing, a nice name." Lu Qi brushed away the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the book. Didn't she remember him? Didn't even remember his voice?
The change is huge, like a completely different person.
Years of longing! Li Changsi sneered, it was just a hope that the poor man could not realize.
Li Changsi's mood suddenly turned bad. He waved at Lu Qi and left the courtyard.
Song Mao was looking for her. When he saw her coming out of the courtyard, his eyes changed slightly and he said restrainedly, "Ms. Li, my husband has something urgent to do today and cannot see you."
Li Changsi raised his eyes and glanced at him coldly, saying, "Then send me down the mountain."
That look was cold and deep, making people feel like they were falling into a dark abyss.
Song Mao shuddered inexplicably. It was the first time he felt this terrible pressure from someone other than his husband.
"Uncle Lu will take you down the mountain."
Li Changsi saw the butler in a black suit driving a tourist train over and got on it and went down the mountain.
Seeing that she was a completely different person when she came and when she left, Song Mao hurried into the courtyard and said in a low and respectful voice, "Sir, I have asked Uncle Lu to take Li Changsi down the mountain."
Lu Qi responded coldly.
Song Mao: "Why don't you see her?"
"I've seen him." Lu Qi raised his eyes and glanced at him.
Song Mao hesitated to speak, knowing full well that he was talking about more than just a meeting. She and her vampire relatives were both evil and greedy!
If I don’t use any tricks, I don’t know how I will suck your blood in the future!
"Li Changsi, it's different now." Lu Qi lowered his eyes, his gaze as deep as the sea. He was born with extraordinary insight, able to read people's hearts, but this time, he couldn't see through Li Changsi. This was the only time in all these years.
What happened when he first met Li Changsi three years ago?
Lu Qi stroked the soft osmanthus flowers in his hands. It was late at night and he was not feeling well. He glanced at her from afar through the screen. She was very pure and beautiful. She was standing in the hall, shivering and not even daring to raise her head.
He saw through her timidity and endless desire in her heart at a glance.
That glance was filled with disappointment. Afterwards, he asked Song Mao to send the man away and left him alone for the past three years.
Song Mao: "Sir, when I went to pick up Li Changsi today, Bai Zhuo was there too. He followed me all the way to the mountainside of Bishuijiangting."
Everyone knows that Li Changsi likes Bai Zhuo!
If she were to marry into the Bai family in the future, it would be a huge joke!
Lu Qi lowered his eyes and continued reading.
Seeing this, Song Mao knew that today's communication had come to an end and he retreated silently.
Li Changsi came down from the top of the mountain in a cute retro tour guide train and saw a blue Aston Martin parked halfway up the mountain. Bai Zhuo was leaning against the car door, talking on the phone in a gentle and elegant manner.
There is only one manor on the top of the mountain, but there is a group of villas halfway up the mountain. Occasionally, a luxury car whizzes past. When you see the blue Aston Martin and the person leaning against the car door, you can't help but take a few more glances.
Having only seen a gentle and kind person like Lu Qi, Li Changsi felt no emotion when he saw Bai Zhuo again.
Some people are reserved in their brilliance, while others are outwardly handsome.
"Changsi!" Bai Zhuo saw her and hung up the phone.
The red retro train stopped, and the housekeeper smiled and said, "Miss Changsi, do you need me to take you down the mountain?"
"No, my agent will be here soon. Thanks."
"Are you okay?" Bai Zhuo walked over and looked her up and down. Seeing her long hair messed up by the mountain breeze, his brows were cold and he frowned. "Mr. Lu didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
He asked his brother, Lu Qi is a man who will hit the vital point if he doesn't take action. Since she was able to come down from the top of the mountain, she should be fine. But how could Li Changsi be related to Mr. Lu?
There are many wealthy families in Jingcheng, but not everyone has the opportunity to meet or offend that person.
Mr. Lu?
Li Changsi narrowed his long, deep eyes, suppressing his inner displeasure, and nodded, saying, "I didn't see anyone."
Bai Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief. It was best not to see him.
"Let me take you home."
"Long thought!"
Qiubi drove the Volkswagen up the mountain with a grunt. Seeing Bai Zhuo there, his face suddenly turned sour. Wow, thanks to him, their Changsi had been blackened by the entire Internet for three years. What's the point of a man being so handsome?
Isn't this inviting the little girl to commit a crime? After much effort, their parents finally decided to stop being his fans and didn't retaliate, but he keeps showing off again and again.
The person following their car at the airport last time was also Bai Zhuo, right?
"Changsi, get in the car. Be careful not to scratch the luxury car, otherwise someone will accuse us of scamming you, and then we'll be on the black market again." Qiubi said sarcastically.
Bai Zhuo: “…”
Li Changsi curled the corners of his lips and got into his agent's car to go home.
After seeing her get in the car, Qiubi closed her eyes and rested, with a hint of hostility on her brows, and asked cautiously, "Hey, I brought the black card. Did the old man give you any trouble?"
Kyubey weakly handed over the black card.
Li Changsi took the pure black card and flipped it to the back. There was no signature on it. She casually put it in her bag and said listlessly, "Help me check for another person, Lu Qi."
He looks a lot like my husband, but his temperament and personality are completely different. Let's check it out.
"Okay, okay." Kewpie nodded. "By the way, here's the contract for Rabbit Live. Sign it and give it to me. Should the 300,000 be deposited into the company's account or your personal account?"
"Use it to pay off your debts."
The original owner still owed the agency a penalty of 1 million yuan. The two small endorsements only earned a total of 200,000 yuan in endorsement fees. Because of the negative searches about the original owner and Bai Zhuo, the brand's image was damaged, and they had to pay 1 million yuan in compensation.
It's a huge loss.
The original owner naturally had no money to compensate, and she didn't know what happened, but the agency compensated her. However, in the past three years, they neither forced the original owner to pay back the money nor terminated the contract, as if they had forgotten about her.
"Pay it all back?" Qiubi was dumbfounded. Wouldn't you leave any living expenses?
"Yeah. And I also turned down the purified water endorsement."
The male and female protagonists' auras were both extremely impressive. Song Xingyue was endorsing purified water, and if she endorsed a similar product, it would undoubtedly contradict the female protagonist's aura, so she'd better avoid it. She didn't want to have anything to do with these two people.
Qiubi's face fell: "Then Changsi, are you ready to starve?"
"Have you finalized the variety show contract?"
When it comes to this, Qibi wants to scold the director team to death.
"Zhao Ming is a thousand-year-old fox, he keeps dragging his feet and refusing to sign. I heard they already had your replacement from the beginning, the daughter of a big boss in the industry. Because she has no works and no popularity, they didn't dare let her join the crew. So they asked you to sign the first issue first, hyping up your popularity with Bai Zhuo, and then waited for you to be criticized by the whole network, and then automatically withdrew, so that the big boss's daughter could join the crew without pressure.
Good guy, you are so good at playing tricks."
That's it, they didn't even give Changsi any hard work money, which made him angry! If it weren't for their parents trying to make him proud, he would have been exposed as depressed by the whole network by now.
Li Changsi narrowed his eyes and guessed it. Otherwise, who would find an 18th-tier unknown person just for that little bit of topic popularity? The popularity of Bai Zhuo, Lin Lushen and others was already high enough. It turned out that they were just paving the way for the chosen girl later.
If she remembered correctly, in the original book, after she, the low-rank cannon fodder female supporting role, died, a high-ranking white lotus female supporting role came online to continue to help the male and female protagonists to warm up their relationship.
Then the heroine Song Xingyue, who came from an ordinary family, turned the tables and beat the female supporting character from a wealthy and wealthy family. She counterattacked all the way and piled the excitement to the extreme, making the readers scream with joy.
It’s her!
Li Changsi curled his lips and said, "Don't panic, Zhao Ming will sign it. Don't let go of the variety show fee!"
"Okay." Qiubi responded with a smile. He didn't know why, but he now had a blind trust in Changsi. It seemed that no matter how big the problem was, it could be easily solved by Changsi.
After a day of filming, Li Changsi returned home, took a bath, and then continued studying through live broadcast.
Evening is the peak period for live streaming traffic. Even if you are doing homework during a live broadcast, Rabbit Live will be overcrowded. The platform's technicians have to work overtime all night to fix the lag.
Zhou Man looked at the ever-increasing number of downloads and turnover, and burst into tears. He wished he could erect a longevity tablet for Li Changsi and burn incense to worship him every day.
On the fifth day after returning to Jingcheng, the bonus applied for by the South China Botanical Research Institute was approved, a total of 300,000 yuan. Because of the experience of Li Changsi and others, the Southwest Police rescued more than a dozen abducted women and cracked down on criminals along the entire line. They awarded Li Changsi and the other four a bravery award and a 100,000 yuan bonus.
This incident was on the hot search for a whole day.
Tian Ye and the other winners were so excited in the group chat. Although the prize money was small, it was an honor!
Tian Ye: Brother, I'm the only retired athlete who got the bravery award. Handsome or not? Just ask handsome or not? Ugly photo.jpg.
Lin Lushen: Brother Ye, be more generous. You act like you've never seen the world before, making people laugh. Medal.jpg.
Tian Ye: Hahaha, little deer, you can do it! I'll remember to give you a medal next time.
Rongshu: coffee.jpg, @Changsi, Blue Mountain Coffee, can I send you some?
Tian Ye: Brother Shu, Li Changsi received a bonus of 400,000 yuan. In addition to the bravery award, he also received an outstanding contribution award from the research institute. Does he still need money to buy coffee beans?
She wrote this experience into her resume in the entertainment industry, which makes her look very proud. Who will dare to say that the threshold to enter the entertainment industry is low in the future?
Meng Xun: Brother Zhuo seems to have two master's degrees from Ivy League schools. If he doesn't act, he will go back to inherit the family business.
Ran Lin: Brother Zhuo is awesome. Almost everyone in the group graduated from prestigious universities, so there’s no need to brag about each other’s business.
Li Changsi: I will try to get into university next year.
Lin Lushen: Sister, you are so cute, give me a heart 2333333.
Tian Ye: Ouch, I laughed so hard that I choked. I can’t take it anymore. Li Changsi, do you have a chat addiction?
It's all hahahaha below.
Li Changsi: "..."
Rongshu: She can still make a splash, even if the sun rises from the west. Changsi, did you stay up all night to practice questions again? Take your prize money and come out for dinner.
Tian Ye: Please bring a light bulb. (Pissed off.jpg)
Song Xingyue: Brother Shu, you've exposed your intentions...
Bai Zhuo: @李长思, passed the friend verification.
Everyone in the group was shocked. "Oh my god, Brother Zhuo took the initiative to add Li Changsi as a friend? Isn't this just some fake variety show romance? He added her, but then he talked about it in the group? What's going on?"
Li Changsi didn't show up again, probably because he continued to do his homework, so everyone just moved the topic forward.
Li Changsi didn't check the group chat. This time the bonus was 400,000 yuan, the live broadcast contract was 300,000 yuan, and the share of the live broadcast rewards for one hour was 700,000 yuan. After paying off the company's liquidated damages, credit card and miscellaneous expenses, the balance was 280,000 yuan.
Finally I have money to have a good meal.
She texted her agent: "How much did you spend on your card?"
Chubi replied immediately: "I spent 1.2 million. Hehe, I was so excited that I couldn't control myself. I bought you all big brands. That's the limited edition Black Kaye. If I spent less, it would seem uncool."
I thought Changsi was a rich family's daughter on the run. I didn't expect the card wasn't hers, and the money she spent would have to be repaid later.
Li Changsi: “???”
Tired!
Continue to be in debt of 1 million.
Li Changsi: "If the variety show fee can't be negotiated to 3 million, drag him out and beat him to death."
3 million is the price for second-tier artists in the circle. Top-tier variety show fees like Bai Zhuo are over 80 million, and Song Xingyue's variety show fee is around 10 million. Based on Zhao Ming's cunningness, it is estimated that her variety show fee is at most 3 million.
Zhao Ming hoped that she would not sign. By then, Li Changsi would be dissatisfied with the low variety show fee and would act like a big shot and refuse to record the second episode. The black hot searches about this would spread like wildfire!
Kyubey: "Don't worry about me doing the work, hehe."
"How are Lu Qi and Song Mao's investigations going?"
Kyubey called directly.
"Son, I was just about to tell you this. Song Mao's resume is impressive. He's a top law graduate from Cambridge, speaks multiple languages, and is the head of a well-known domestic think tank. Hiring them costs over a million yuan a time. It's a high-paying job. No wonder he's dressed so well.
As for the Lu Qi you mentioned, I looked him up and he seems to be an orphan, quite ordinary. There's not much useful information."
An orphan? Li Changsi pondered in silence. Couldn't they find out? She didn't expect Qibi to be able to find out, but this also confirmed her suspicions.
"Changsi, why are you investigating them for no reason?"
"Nothing. Homework."
Li Changsi hung up the phone directly.
Bishuijiangting Mountaintop Manor.
Song Mao hung up the phone, knocked on the door and walked into the study, whispering, "Sir, Li Changsi sent someone to check on us."
Lu Qi had just finished an international regular meeting. The situation in the Middle East has been unstable recently, resulting in soaring oil prices and doubling the pressure on production. He still needs to provide support when necessary.
"Hmm?" Lu Qi stood up and poured a cup of hot water.
"Her agent didn't find anything. I was afraid he'd ask around and disturb Mr.'s peace, so I sent someone to deliver some simple information."
The gentleman has kept a low profile for many years. If his peace is disturbed by this, I'm afraid life will be difficult for everyone.
"There's another thing. Li Changsi suddenly paid back the 1 million yuan in liquidated damages he owed the company. He used the live broadcast contract and the bonus he applied for from the research institute to pay it back."
When Li Changsi first debuted, he took on two small endorsements, but within three months, the contract went wrong and he terminated it. He had his subordinate company acquire the agency and only then paid the liquidated damages. Mr. Qian didn't see it and thought Li Changsi had no intention of paying it back. But unexpectedly, after visiting Bishui Jiangting, he made up for it after returning.
This is completely different from her previous behavior.
Lu Qi nodded and asked slowly, "What else did you find out?"
"A month ago, Li Changsi beat popular artist Song Xingyue into the hospital, and his behavior has been erratic ever since. During a variety show recording, he defeated Bai Zhuo, a 7th-dan player, at a game of Go. He also dug up rare and extinct plants, donated them to the country, and was commended. He also rescued more than a dozen abducted women and was recognized for his bravery."
Song Mao doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, let alone Li Changsi. He doesn't look at the hot searches that are difficult to distinguish between true and false after manual screening. He doesn't know until he checks, and he is shocked when he checks. None of them could have been done by Li Changsi.
Lu Qi's slender fingers stroked the rim of the cup, her eyes were deep, and countless secrets were hidden in her eyes.
What an unexpected surprise.
"Sir, do you need to continue investigating?"
"Well, what's her next schedule?"
"The second episode of the wilderness survival variety show was recorded on a deserted island in the South China Sea archipelago. That deserted island belongs to the group."
There are many deserted islands in the South China Sea, which have always been managed by the South China Sea department of the group. This time it should be in cooperation with Pineapple TV and loaned out.
"Then let's take a look." Lu Qi said in a low voice, looking out the window. The setting sun dyed the mountains and forests red, and elk were running in the forest, leisurely and comfortable.
On the third to last day of recording the second episode of Wilderness Survival, the production team finally gave in and agreed to renew Li Changsi's contract for the entire remaining episodes of the variety show for a variety show fee of 4 million yuan.
This price is not even a fraction of that of other guests in the same field. The program crew only agreed reluctantly because of Li Changsi's super high popularity on Rabbit Live. Anyway, there is no excuse to get rid of Li Changsi now, so they just sign her at a low price to continue participating in the recording.
At the same time, 7 Days and 7 Nights Wilderness Survival officially announced two new guests, Xuan Yiyi and Wei Zhenxi.
Xuan Yiyi is the school belle of the dance academy. She just turned 20 this year. When she debuted, she played the leading role in a big production. She bought a lot of online press releases, saying that she was the purest school belle in the history of the dance academy and had acting skills like a lotus out of clear water. However, she still couldn't change the fate of her works being so unpopular that even her parents didn't recognize her.
But at least he has works, which is better than Li Changsi.
As soon as the show was officially announced, fans went ballistic. With so many talented and attractive celebrities, why didn't you invite them? It's just about whoever has the money and resources.
——All kinds of cats and dogs are stuffed in there. Can the way they eat be any uglier?
——Are you already giving up after only the second episode? Everyone knows Xuan Yiyi is a resourceful person.
——Xuan Yiyi is also worthy? Why does she deserve it?
Yiyi at least has a portfolio, and she's the school beauty of a dance academy, with solid professional skills. What does Li Changsi have? She has no portfolio, and a slew of scandals, but she still made it to the premiere, didn't she? Why don't you just criticize her?
So from then on, whenever fans questioned Xuan Yiyi, Li Changsi would be dragged out to criticize her. The little red beans were not happy with this. Their girl had met the wrong man before and was only thinking about dating. Since she stopped being a fan, her career has been booming. She can play Go, save people, and even study live. The popularity of her live broadcast room is over 5 million every day.
Many students wake up every day and the first thing they do is open the live broadcast room to study with Sisi. Their mothers even praise them for being sensible.
Why do they want to whip Sibao's corpse? Do they look down on Xiao Hongdou's fighting ability?
So there was a three-day online quarrel, and the fans were tired of it, so Xuan Yiyi joined the group.
As for the newly joined male guest, the online reputation is one-sided, all of which are "Oh, I'm dead", "So handsome", "Mom, I'm in love"... just because Wei Zhenxi is an outsider and a famous surgeon.
She is beautiful, rich, has long legs, and can even wear a white coat and operate a scalpel. Oh, oh, oh, not to mention the fans, even several female guests are looking forward to it.
After all, Wei Zhenxi's official photos are truly handsome! He's every bit as handsome as the entertainment industry's creamy little idols. With his handsome figure and masculine waist, he's incredibly alluring. And with that white coat on, he exudes a sense of security. Instantly, all the other male guests on the show, except for Bai Zhuo, were outshone.
Tian Ye: Hey, what’s going on with the program crew? We warmly welcomed the pretty girls, but then a super handsome guy showed up too. Is wilderness survival so difficult now?
Lin Lushen: Don’t cry, brother Ye, the new female guest will be yours to take care of, hehe.
Ran Lin: Dr. Wei is really handsome, 189cm tall, and is said to be one quarter German.
Tian Ye: No, can’t you see that I’m 190cm tall?
Lin Lushen: Wow, it turns out he’s a handsome mixed-race guy. I’m so excited @李长思, sister, here comes a handsome guy with rich complexion.
Rong Shu: Don’t tag Changsi. The child is doing homework during the live broadcast every day. He must have become stupid from doing the questions.
Meng Xun: Brother Rong, you're always watching Li Changsi's livestream every day? I admire you!
Bai Zhuo: This time, we're recording on a deserted island in the South Pacific, a completely undeveloped area. The production team is worried about accidents happening to the guests, so they've invited a professional doctor. Wei Zhenxi is both a guest and an emergency doctor, and everyone brought plenty of survival gear. The difficulty level this time will be 5A.
The official Weibo account just announced half an hour ago that the location of this event is a deserted island. The specific rules have not yet been released. It is probably like the blind men touching the elephant, groping while recording.
Li Changsi was tagged in by Lin Lushen, and saw wailing everywhere in the group.
Last time I went on a rainforest survival hike, I was so exhausted I questioned my life. This time, I'm on a deserted island with 9 lives! Who wouldn't want to just sit at home and make a nice living? Wilderness survival shows pay a lot, but they're also dangerous, and the whole process is live-streamed. It's easy to ruin your character, right?
Lin Lushen: @李长思, sister, let’s try our best to be in the same group with Dr. Wei, he is super handsome!
Xuan Yiyi joined the group chat.
Wei Zhenxi joined the group chat.
Xuan Yiyi: Hello everyone, I’m a newbie. Please take care of me in the future.
Tian Ye: Welcome~
Meng Xun: Welcome~
…
Wei Zhenxi: Deep diving photo.jpg. I hope everyone has prepared diving equipment. It’s not too late to buy it now. No need to thank me. I am the perfect and handsome Dr. Wei!
Wei Zhenxi posted several sets of diving photos, each of which exuded a strong hormonal atmosphere, with muscles that seemed to be hidden and visible, and a sexy and charming smile. All the female guests in the group covered their faces.
Oh, the power is overwhelming! Dr. Wei can even dive deep!
Rongshu: @Li Changsi, can you swim? I can teach you.
Li Changsi: Yes.
In the past two weeks, she took time out to fly to an island and take the AOW test. She originally took it as a survival skill just in case, but she didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
Zhao Ming: The program crew won’t be that cruel, haha, don’t worry.
Tian Ye: I panicked...
Xuan Yiyi: I panicked...
The whole row below is "I panicked"...
What kind of person is this damn program crew? Don’t they know it yet?
Seeing that there was no useful information in the group, Li Changsi closed the group and was about to go to sleep when she saw a new friend add her on WeChat. The name was clear at a glance: Dr. Wei. The message was: Sisi, why did you delete me? Am I not perfect enough?
Grass (a kind of plant)! What is the relationship between the new male guest Wei Zhenxi and the original owner?
