Chapter 542 Everyone takes good care of me
After communication between Gu Wei's staff and the agency, the centuries-old wine estate of Unico Castle was finally purchased by Gu Wei for 16 million euros.
After signing the contract, the team found a well-known local decoration company in Bordeaux and planned to carry out exterior repairs and interior decoration of the castle.
This decoration company named Brouck specializes in castle decoration and is very famous in the industry.
For them, as long as the money is in place, it doesn't matter what they want the interior to look like as long as the castle's exterior remains unchanged.
Whether it is classic luxury or modern technology style, as long as the customers ask for it, they can do it.
Of course, the price is not cheap.
There has not been much change in the winery's staff. Some of the winemaking masters have been working in the winery for generations, and they are the real wealth of Unico Castle.
The first decision Gu Wei made after becoming the boss was to give all staff a 10% salary increase. As a result, he, the new owner of the manor from China, immediately won the love of everyone.
Normally, a manor is equipped with a butler and a complete housekeeping team to serve the owner, including gardeners, servants, chefs, security guards, etc.
However, because the castle needs major renovations, the decoration company has given it three to six months to complete the task, so there is no need to rush. It will still be time to recruit after the renovation is completed and Gu Wei can move in.
There are special butler training schools in Europe, so it is relatively easy to recruit butlers and servants in various positions.
After the purchase of the manor was completed, Gu Wei immediately prepared to leave France.
Boruk Decoration Company will provide Gu Wei with several decoration plans according to his requirements, and will send them to him by email. After Gu Wei makes his choice, construction and decoration will begin without wasting his time.
Before leaving, Gu Wei, on the recommendation of the winemaker, selected some older and better-tasting red wines from the estate's wine cellar and mailed them back to China.
The red wine brand of Unicorn Estate is called Unicorn, which means unicorn, and the name is very beautiful.
The taste is quite mellow. After tasting it, Gu Wei felt that it was no worse than the Lafite given to him by Mr. Bernard, the president of LV Group.
Of course, he had no expertise in red wine, and honestly, even Romanee-Conti didn't taste particularly special.
As the capital of Czechoslovakia, Prague is very famous in the country.
Many people get their first impression of Prague from Jolin Tsai’s song: “I stood in the square in Prague at dusk, casting my hope into the Trevi Fountain.”
This city, known as the most beautiful city in Europe, does have a unique charm.
Prague has a large number of buildings from various European historical periods and styles, among which Baroque and Gothic styles are particularly dominant. It is one of the few cities in the world whose entire city has been designated as a World Cultural Heritage.
The last stop of Gu Wei’s European trip is Prague.
The Czech Republic is not far from France. The straight-line distance between Prague and Bordeaux is about 1,200 kilometers, and a direct flight only takes more than 2 hours.
It was already evening when Gu Wei's plane landed at Prague Václav Havel International Airport.
The staff of "Run" had been waiting outside the airport for a long time.
Gu Wei participated in the recording of the last episode of "Running Man Season 1" as an invited guest. His main purpose was to promote "You Are My Glory" which will be launched next month with Reba.
The satellite TV channels that broadcast "Glory" are Blueberry TV and Dragon TV, so it is natural for Gu Wei to appear on Blueberry TV's "Run".
After taking a car back to the crew's hotel, Gu Wei met with director Yao Zetian.
This director, who will be called Yao PD by countless viewers who like "Running Man" in the future, is not yet 30 years old this year. Born in 1988, he is only four years older than Gu Wei, but he has already become the chief director of the most popular variety show on Blueberry Channel.
Gu Wei is no stranger to him. As early as the first season of "Running Man", Yao Zetian was just a team leader in the name tag tearing segment, and Gu Wei had contact with him when he participated in the show as a guest.
However, Yao Zetian became the deputy director of the program in the fourth season.
By the fifth season, which is the revised version of "Running Man Season 1", he has become the chief director of the variety show. "Running Man" has been on the air for four years, and it only took him four years to successfully reach the top.
This is very rare in the director industry where achievements and qualifications are valued.
"Teacher Gu, thank you for your hard work." Knowing the time of Gu Wei's arrival, Director Yao came out to greet him.
As the youngest chief director of Blueberry Channel, his ability is unquestionable. However, directing a popular variety show like "Running Man" also puts him under a lot of pressure.
After all, the show started out with such great results that after a few seasons, the data has been declining in the last two seasons due to the successive launch of variety shows of the same type and the audience's fatigue with "Running Man."
The station boldly appointed him as the new chief director and also had high expectations for Yao Zetian. They felt that as a young man, he could better understand the ideas of young audiences. They hoped that this new attempt would allow "Running Man" to return to the good results of the first two seasons.
Looking at it now, the broadcast results of the first few episodes of this season's Running Man are indeed better than the previous season. Although it has not reached the exaggerated popularity of the first two seasons, at least the data has not declined again.
"Director Yao is too polite." Gu Wei didn't expect that Yao Zetian would still be so humble even though he was promoted to chief director.
"It's my duty. Mr. Gu, you have come all the way here to record the show. You must be tired from traveling. If you need anything, please feel free to tell the program team." Director Yao was very enthusiastic. Tomorrow's recording will be the final battle of this season of Running Man, and he is counting on Gu Wei to come and help increase the ratings.
As a veteran who has worked on Running Man for four years, he is very clear about how Gu Wei performed in the episodes when he participated as a guest.
Normally, the last episode of a variety show will be the best-performing one of the season, but there was an exception in the previous "Running Man". The ratings of the episode in which Gu Wei participated were obviously higher than the other episodes, and were even comparable to the last episode.
Therefore, after he became the chief director, he always wanted to invite Gu Wei to come again.
Later, after communication between the program team and Blueberry Channel, it happened that the other party was promoting a new drama, and the heroine was their new MC Dilraba Dilmurat, so Gu Wei finally decided to participate in the last episode of this season's Running Man.
After chatting with PD Yao for a while, Gu Wei returned to his room.
The assistant had already put away his luggage, including the clothes he would wear tomorrow and his own toiletries, all of which were taken out and placed in their corresponding places.
After returning to his room, Gu Wei changed his clothes, took a shower, tidied himself up and prepared to rest.
During the few days I've been in Europe, I've been watching shows, attending cocktail parties, shooting commercials, and buying wineries. There are so many things to do that I'm busy day and night.
Although I didn't feel anything physically, I was still a little tired mentally.
After blow-drying my hair, I came out of the bathroom, took out a can of Pilsner Urquell beer from the refrigerator and took a sip.
This brand is one of the oldest beer brands in the Czech Republic, and its brewing process is said to have originated in the 13th century.
'It's very refreshing, but has a slightly bitter taste, which is quite unique.'
In fact, compared to red wine, Gu Wei himself prefers to drink beer.
Especially when gathering with friends, eating hotpot, skewers and drinking some refreshing beer, it feels great!
Gu Wei was savoring the unique flavor of an exotic beer when the doorbell rang.
He thought it was the assistant bringing him something, so he walked over and opened the door with a beer.
As soon as the door opened, a beautiful figure rushed towards me.
"Did you miss me?" Reba clamped her legs around Gu Wei's waist, and hung on him like a koala. She looked at Gu Wei with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and her face couldn't stop being happy.
"Of course, that's why I came to record the show with you."
Gu Wei was stunned for a moment. After seeing who was coming, he held the other person's butterfly hips with one hand, stretched out his legs to close the door, and then turned and walked into the house.
"How did you know I was here?"
"Hehe, I just went out and saw your assistant downstairs. When I saw her, I knew you must have arrived.
Then I went up and asked for your room number.
So, I'm smart, right? "
Reba asked proudly.
"Our Reba is the smartest." Gu Wei hugged her and sat on the sofa, saying dotingly.
“Hmph~
You are so silly. You didn’t even tell me when you arrived at the production team.
If I hadn't observed you carefully, wouldn't I be able to meet you at the recording session tomorrow?"
Reba pouted to express her dissatisfaction.
"I just arrived too. It's getting late now. I don't want to disturb your rest, so I want to give you a surprise tomorrow," Gu Wei explained.
"Hmph.
I don't care, you are wrong and you have to compensate me." After seeing Gu Wei, Reba completely released her nature and acted coquettishly with him.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what it is." Gu Wei coaxed her with a smile.
"That's better." Reba stopped pouting, smiled sweetly, held Gu Wei's face and kissed him.
She didn't say what her request was. In fact, it didn't matter. She just wanted to act coquettishly with Gu Wei and let him coax her.
"Why does it feel a bit astringent?" They kissed for a while, and Reba felt a little strange when she smacked her lips.
"Haha~ I just drank beer, there might be some residue in my mouth." Gu Wei couldn't help laughing when he saw Reba's puzzled face, and brought the beer in front of him.
"Want to try it?"
Reba took a sip out of curiosity.
“It’s a little bitter, but very refreshing.”
Gu Wei smiled. He knew that Reba didn't drink alcohol normally and her alcohol tolerance was very low.
"I still remember that not long after we met, I went to Shanghai for business, and you took me on a tour as your host.
I’ll treat you to dinner later.”
"Stop talking!" Reba stretched out her little hand to cover Gu Wei's mouth, stopping him from continuing.
She was deeply impressed by the dinner and drinks.
Originally, Reba wanted to use the alcohol to confess her love to Gu Wei, or even push him down, but she didn't expect that she would end up drinking too much and pass out.
It’s embarrassing to think about it now. It feels so shameful.
Gu Wei smiled and looked at Reba's embarrassed face: "Okay, if you don't allow me to say it, then don't say it."
"How's the recording of [Running Man] going? Did you encounter any problems this season?"
"It's pretty good. This is my first time on an outdoor reality show like this. I was a little nervous at first, but luckily Brother Chao and the others took care of me.
When I was recording the show and speaking, Brother Chao and Chen He would cue me from time to time, giving me more opportunities to speak.
Xiaolu and Zheng Kai also looked after me when I was playing games, and I felt like they were very nice people."
In the original time and space, Reba became popular because of "Eternal Love", and it was with the help of "Jaywalk" that she was squeezed into "Running Man".
At that time, the other hosts had already recorded four seasons of the show together, and they had a certain friendship and tacit understanding with each other.
It is obviously not easy for her, a new girl, to integrate into the team.
What's more, Baby was obviously hostile to her at that time. She was afraid that Reba would replace her. After going home to give birth to the child, she didn't even take a rest and hurried back to record the show.
Between their old partner Baby and the newcomer Reba who they didn’t know before, the members of the Running Man team would definitely lean towards Baby.
In addition, the "Lu Di couple" hyped by the program team was targeted everywhere in the program and scolded by Lu Han's fans outside the program. So Reba hurriedly withdrew from "Running Man" after one season and said she would not go to the second season no matter what.
But now, because of Gu Wei, her situation is very different.
Although she is still a female star who has just become popular, the team leader Deng Chao, the funny man Chen He, and the top star Lu Han are all very warm and caring towards her.
Of course, Reba also knew that everyone was so friendly because of Gu Wei. She did not act like a princess because of everyone's care, but actively participated in the game.
Overall, she has a very good impression of "Running Man".
"I'm glad you like it. I'll thank Brother Chao, Xiaolu and the others when I get a chance."
"Yeah." Reba hugged Gu Wei's neck, pursed her lips and nodded happily.
Ever since she got together with Gu Wei, everything has been going smoothly for her in both life and career. She has become more and more famous, and everything she does has gone smoothly.
And with Gu Wei's support, she has the confidence to do anything. She is not as cautious and nervous as when she first entered the entertainment industry, afraid of making mistakes. She knows that no matter what problems arise, Gu Wei will help her solve them.
Reba sat on Gu Wei's lap and chatted with him. They hadn't seen each other for a while because of work.
Although they often send WeChat messages and occasionally make video calls, she is still very happy when they actually meet, and has endless things to talk about with Gu Wei.
Gu Wei listened patiently and said a few words from time to time to cooperate.
He is definitely a good listener, and he doesn't have the habit of being a know-it-all. He only gives affirmation and positive feedback to others, maximizing his emotional value.
It is said that Gu Wei has a very high emotional intelligence, especially when it comes to getting along with girls.
Being rich, having status, being handsome and having a good figure are the hard standards to attract girls, but the reason why many girls who have come into contact with Gu Wei fall in love with him is his gentle and kind personality besides the hard conditions.
"Aren't you leaving tonight?" After chatting for a while, Gu Wei looked at the time.
"Of course, after all the hard work of meeting you're still trying to get me to leave?
Are you lying when you say you miss me?" Reba was a little dissatisfied.
Gu Wei smiled and shook his head.
"This is the hotel for the Running Man crew, and all the people staying here are members of the Running Man team and the crew.
If you're not afraid of being seen, then it doesn't matter."
Gu Wei is definitely not afraid of anything, especially Reba.
As a new star who had just become famous, it was already very eye-catching that she was being taken care of on the show. If she was seen coming out of Gu Wei's room, she would definitely be talked about by the staff of the program crew.
Regardless of the industry, the public tends to dislike people who have connections and gain positions through connections.
In the entertainment industry, the most hated people are those with resources.
Because most people have no connections or background and can only seek advancement through hard work, they are naturally dissatisfied with those who can easily get opportunities.
"I'm not afraid!" Reba said firmly, and then her voice became smaller.
"At worst, I can just get up early tomorrow and go back secretly."
Hearing her say this, Gu Wei didn't hesitate and stood up, picked up Reba, walked into the bedroom, and put her on the big bed.
".Wow. Wait, I haven't set the alarm yet."
"There's no need to rush. The night is long and there's plenty of time."
