Chapter 22
After the other party placed the order, Lin Ruo decided to mail it out after he returned home, and told the other party that he was out of town and had to wait until tomorrow, and it seemed that the other party was not at home either, so the two agreed to wait until the next day to mail it.
Everyone stayed here for another night and left together the next day. Zhou Yuewan was reluctant to leave Lin Ruo and chatted with her for a long time. In the end, they were not in the same car, so they stopped chatting.
Everyone returned to their own lives, and Lin Ruo and Qin Yu also returned to the house they had rented. As soon as she got home, her agent called. It was then that she remembered that she had not met this agent since she came here, and she had only seen him in books.
"Lin Ruo, if you have time today or tomorrow, come to the company." From the voice, it seems that the other party is a very experienced person.
"Okay." She didn't refuse and prepared to go see what was going on.
She didn't wait until the next day, so she simply packed up and went there today. Qin Yu followed her wherever she went. She had wanted him to rest at home, but he disagreed, so she had no choice but to take him with her.
Standing at the door of the company, Lin Ruo observed carefully. It seemed that this company was also an entertainment company under the Lin family. It seemed that the Lin family was involved in quite a lot of industries. However, she was the only one who knew about this. Even her four younger brothers did not know that the Lin family had such an industry.
The two walked in together. Everyone in the room was busy and no one noticed her. She led him to the conference room. At this time, her agent Wu Ning was sitting on a chair waiting for her. When he saw her come in, he immediately threw the A4 paper in his hand at her and said, "Look, these are the comments about you that have been posted on the show barrage these days."
Lin Ruo had been prepared for this, but she was still completely shocked when she saw it with her own eyes. She had no idea that it was filled with insults against her. If she didn't look carefully, she couldn't even tell what was being sent. Wu Ning continued, "This isn't all there is. There are too many to print out."
Lin Ruo picked up the paper and squeezed it. It felt like there were over fifty pages. With such dense writing, she was afraid the audience had done nothing but complain about her these past few days. She looked up and saw someone staring at her agent across from her, a puzzled expression on their face, probably wondering about her change. But she probably just felt curious, since the original owner had only known her agent for a short time.
As expected, Wu Ning just glanced at her several times before stating his purpose. "This variety show is definitely going to attract a lot of traffic because of the participation of Actor Mo and the addition of Lu Yinzhou. The company has decided to create a character for you. This is the preliminary plan."
After saying that, he pulled a document from his side pocket and handed it to her. Although Lin Ruo hadn't entered the entertainment industry, she had heard of this kind of character creation scheme for variety shows. Indeed, having a good character in a variety show can be a big plus. Wu Ning's characterization for her was quite interesting. She was a bit of a drama queen, acting coquettishly and cutely, not at all likable. It seemed his goal was to go the black-and-red route.
She flipped through it briefly and pushed the document back. Before she could say anything, the other party understood what she meant. "I know you dislike these characters, but with your current popularity, you can only go with this black-and-red model. This is the most advantageous option for you. If you don't use this, you can just announce your retirement from the entertainment industry after this variety show is finished."
"Well, I'll probably quit the entertainment industry right after this variety show ends," she answered straightforwardly. After all, her purpose in coming here was to capture her four younger brothers and save them. As for this variety show, it was also forced upon her by the system, so after it was over, she could focus on completing her mission.
"Okay." Wu Ning on the opposite side felt helpless about her dishonesty and sighed softly.
Lin Ruo knew that the original owner was still a young lady of the Gu family when she entered the entertainment industry, so when she signed the contract, the Gu family's legal affairs department accompanied her, and she did not sign any contract to sell herself, so she did not have to be controlled by the company in every way.
Wu Ning opposite her put away the things on the table and said, "Let's leave it at that for now." She stood up and left. In Lin Ruo's opinion, she was giving up on herself and didn't believe she would have any value in the future.
That's good. I can just focus on completing the mission. He turned and looked at Qin Yu, who seemed to be thinking deeply. "Let's go! Let's go for a walk and see what to eat."
"Yeah." He stopped thinking and followed her obediently.
The two of them left the company and walked to the door, where they saw a group of people gathered around, all holding their phones, probably waiting for someone. There were also the company staff, and everyone gathered together to discuss how to greet them.
This kind of agency is full of celebrities coming and going, so fans gathering outside shouldn't be a surprise. Perhaps the one who excited the staff so much must be a big star, someone they rarely see. But she wasn't interested in anyone. She was about to leave with Qin Yu, but just as she took a step, she heard someone shout, "Look! Lu Yinzhou is here!"
Hearing the name Lu Yinzhou, she suddenly became interested and ran over instantly. Her speed shocked even Qin Yu who was standing beside her. Although puzzled, she followed him anyway.
At this time, Lu Yinzhou was wearing a black windbreaker, a baseball cap, and a white mask on his face, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes. Even so, everyone recognized that this person was him.
This was probably the first time Lin Ruo had met Lu Yinzhou in person. Unexpectedly, he had an even more powerful aura than she had imagined. She had originally wanted to go up to him and ask for his autograph, but the moment they saw him, everyone stopped and stared at him in complete silence. It wasn't until he walked into the company lobby that the fans outside shouted in unison, "Ahhhhhhhh! So handsome, so handsome!"
Lin Ruo felt they weren't exaggerating at all, because just now, when Lu Yinzhou passed by her, he paused and looked at her. At that moment, her first reaction was to hold her breath and not dare to move. It wasn't until he completely walked in that she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "He is indeed very handsome."
"Is he really that handsome?" Qin Yu next to her was unconvinced and muttered in her ear.
"He's even more handsome in person than in the video." Lin Ruo didn't understand the meaning behind his words and continued to sigh. When she finished looking, she turned around and found that he had disappeared. She looked around for a long time but couldn't see him. She guessed that he must have gone into the company. What was he going to do in there?
She approached again to look for him, only to see him walking into the conference room with Lu Yinzhou behind him. She didn't follow him, but sat on a chair outside and waited.
After a few minutes, he walked out of the house and wanted to go out directly, but when he saw her sitting on the chair, he asked puzzledly: "Why are you here?"
"I'm waiting for you. Where did you go just now?" she asked as she stood up.
"This is for you." He handed the photo over without saying anything.
Lin Ruo took it doubtfully, and was stunned when she saw that it was Lu Yinzhou's autographed photo. She suddenly looked up and asked, "How... did you get it?"
He looked disdainful and said, "Don't you like it? I just asked for it for you."
Seeing his expression, Lin Ruo was too embarrassed to say that she wasn't really after this, so she just smiled and put it away, then teased him again, "Will he give it to you if you go?"
"I... was just asking, but I didn't expect you to agree." It can be seen that he doesn't want everyone to know about their relationship.
"Oh oh oh!" She nodded without piercing him.
Lin Ruo was about to go out for dinner. She thought no one knew her, but unexpectedly, as soon as she left the company, a little girl stared at her and asked in confusion, "Excuse me, are you Lin Ruo?"
"I'm not, you've made a mistake." She spoke so confidently that the other person looked curious and wondered if she had really made a mistake.
She stood there thinking, Lin Ruo grabbed Qin Yu's arm and quickly left here. By the time the woman reacted, the two had already walked a long way.
Lin Ruo felt that there was no way to eat out, so she decided to go back home with Qin Yu and eat takeout. Fortunately, the child was still relatively obedient, so the two of them returned home together.
They had just returned from town and were heading to the company. It was already two in the afternoon, and they were both hungry and uncomfortable. The first thing they did when they got home was to lie down on the sofa. They didn't even have the energy to order takeout. After resting for a while, Lin Ruo picked up his phone again and flipped through it. When you're extremely hungry, you don't know what to eat. Looking at Qin Yu, who was sitting in a chair not far away, scrolling through his phone, he asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"Either is fine." He stared at the phone in his hand intently, and seemed quite busy.
"Then let's have hotpot. How about ordering some drinks?" She hadn't had hotpot for a long time, so it was a good idea to have some today.
"Okay, sure." He nodded in agreement, then got up and walked into his room, took out his laptop, put it on the table, and started typing.
She was curious about what he was doing, but didn't look. She continued to order takeout. After choosing, she tossed her phone aside. She was so tired, but at least she had ordered. She would just come back and eat it later. She picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. The sports channel was broadcasting a game. She wanted to change the channel directly, but the commentator mentioned Meng Mian's name. She paused and stared at the TV.
"Meng Mian is indeed the ace of the Qifeng team. The moment he takes the field, the others pale in comparison. Beautiful! A perfect operation. As expected of Master Meng, he's truly amazing."
Lin Ruo also began to watch Meng Mian's movements carefully. He was indeed very smooth and unrestrained, and it was obvious that he was a master. It was hard to imagine that such a person would end up having his tendons severed by his opponent. How could he survive?
While she was thinking, Qin Yu seemed to have finished his work. He stood up and walked over to her, looking at her with his head tilted. "Do you like watching game competitions?"
He suddenly said this, and Lin Ruo trembled slightly. She looked up at him and said, "It's okay, just take a look."
"Then let's watch something else." He took the remote control and pressed the channel change button. The next one was a movie channel. The awards ceremony was in progress, and Ning Yuan's name appeared on the big screen for the Best New Director Award.
Lin Ruo was stunned and quickly turned to look at the man next to him. He was stunned for two seconds and continued to press the channel change button.
