Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Part 2
On his first day back at work, Lu Jinzhi received a spam message.
He glanced at the person who sent the message and was about to block him.
The next second, he extracted a key word from that sentence - butler.
Lu Jinzhi's hands remained still for a few seconds, then he moved his fingertips lightly and typed out a sentence.
Qin Lian, who had just entered the room, heard the prompt sound and looked over.
Lu Jinzhi: "If the leader's communication skills are so poor that he can't even articulate a single sentence, the Qin family won't get far."
Qin Lian: “…”
So how could someone like Lu Jinzhi have friends?
He didn't bother to reply to the other party and just sent a message: "Your brother and your housekeeper must have a good relationship. After all, they live in the same house."
younger brother?
Lu Jinzhi didn't have a younger brother, but he did have two stray dogs.
But that didn't stop him from understanding the meaning of the original message.
Lu Xuan and Qiao Wu now live in the same room.
Qin Lian on the other side waited for a long time but there was no response from Lu Jinzhi. Just when he was about to ask again, he received only five short words from the other side.
Lu Jinzhi: "Send email at work."
Qin Lian: “?”
Then his message was rejected.
“…”
Qin Lianqi laughed, Lu Jinzhi, you are sick!
He was just telling the truth, and you stepped on his tail? He's so petty.
On the other end, Lu Jinzhi, who had blocked Qin Lian, felt very at ease. There were many ways to contact him, but it was impolite of Qin Lian to always send some messy messages to disturb him.
As a CEO, he does things that paparazzi do all day long. It seems that the Qin family really has no future.
He put down his phone. Lu Xuan and Qiao Wu had slept in the same bed when they were wearing open-crotch pants, so what was the big deal about them sleeping in the same room now?
After a few seconds, he looked at the phone screen on the table again.
No matter how clingy you are, there should be a limit. Is Lu Xuan still stuck in the age of wearing open-crotch pants? He can do such a rude thing.
I didn't expect that I had to pull Qiao Wu out of the pile of dogs when I was a child, and I have to do it now.
He made an internal call: "Xu Chao."
"Mr. Lu."
"Check Lu Xuan's hotel."
Xu Chao, who was sitting at his workstation, almost thought he had answered the wrong call, but then he saw that it was indeed Mr. Lu's internal line.
Mr. Lu is actually meddling in family matters?!
At this time, Lu Xuan, who had already successfully entered Qiao Wu's room, was afraid that she would change her mind again, so he pushed open the door and found the guest bedroom. He quickly pushed his suitcase in, took out all the clothes inside and threw them on the bed.
Qiao Wu saw all this childish behavior, but didn't stop him: "I won't help you tidy up your clothes if they're messed up. I need to rest now, so don't bother me if you don't have anything else to do."
She was busy with the dinner party until late yesterday and got up too early today to catch the plane, so she didn't sleep well and was worried that she wouldn't have enough energy for the recording tomorrow.
Lu Xuan looked at the clothes on the bed and picked them up one by one: "Oh."
There was a soft sound of the master bedroom door closing, and Lu Xuan's hands gradually slowed down. He made room for himself to lie down, and then fell back.
Cool.
He knows how to fold clothes! It’s okay that Qiao Wu didn’t chase him away. He didn’t want to sleep in the big bed room.
He fell asleep while lying there, and when he woke up, he was awakened by hunger.
Lu Xuan checked the time, got up and washed his face. When he walked out of the room, Qiao Wu's door was still closed, apparently he was still asleep.
He skillfully called the hotel to have dinner delivered, then curled up on the sofa to play mobile games.
When the game was getting intense, I heard a slight snapping sound.
Then Qiao Wu's voice rang out: "Have you had dinner?"
Lu Xuan's hands trembled, and the character he was controlling was beaten to death.
He raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound. He hadn't turned on the lights when he came in during the day, so only a few lights were on when he woke up. He didn't want to hurt his eyes since he had just woken up, so he didn't turn on any lights. So the lights were still dim at this moment, and only Qiao Wu was standing there with his back to the light in her room.
His face was not clear, but it was the first time Lu Xuan heard her voice like that.
It didn't have the usual clarity of confidence in victory, but instead had a hoarseness and laziness that came from just waking up, and it was also very light, so light that it was soft, like a feather, instantly waking him up from the fight just now.
Qiao Wu didn't hear a reply, so he went to turn on the lights in the hall. He saw Lu Xuan hunched over on the sofa in a daze, "What are you staring at?"
Lu Xuan squinted his eyes due to the sudden brightness. When his vision became clear again, he saw Qiao Wu walking towards him. He unconsciously moved closer.
Qiao Wu, who had just woken up, was not dressed as exquisitely as usual. She only wore a comfortable short-sleeved shirt and long pants. Her lips were very light in color. She was not wearing glasses, and there was still some sleepiness and fatigue in her eyes.
After sitting down on the sofa not far from him, she casually raised her hand to tidy up her slightly messy hair, and gently put on a hairband she had taken out from somewhere. As she did so, she raised her eyelids and looked at Lu Xuan: "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Xuan suddenly came back to his senses: "Nothing."
He threw his phone, which was playing the game, onto the sofa, stood up, and went to pour a glass of water. "I asked the hotel to send dinner up."
"Yeah." Qiao Wu pressed his solar plexus, "I overslept."
Fortunately, she set the alarm and remembered to get up for dinner.
After drinking a glass of water, Lu Xuan felt much more awake. He breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the counter, frowning, "How could Lu Jinzhi assign you so much work with just a few trivial things?"
Qiao Wu laughed: "You hired me for four days for 50,000 yuan, and he only paid me a few dollars?"
Lu Xuan said lazily, "If it were me, I wouldn't arrange too many things for you. You just need to listen to me."
"That makes sense." Qiao Wu nodded. "According to what you said, from now on I will just listen to your brother, and you guys can just leave it alone."
"...Don't misinterpret what I mean."
The doorbell rang, and the hotel delivered dinner.
Lu Xuan, who had been carrying luggage for a whole day, now consciously went to open the door and did not continue the previous topic.
This was the only meal Qiao Wu had today besides breakfast, so he ate very attentively and didn't say a word.
Lu Xuan was a little absent-minded.
He felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't say why.
The reason he came to Qiao Wu's room today was simply because he didn't want to endure the double bed room, so he didn't think about anything at that time. After all, he had stayed in the same room with Qiao Wu before.
But when he saw Qiao Wu coming out just now, he suddenly felt that something was different, a little awkward.
After finishing his tasteless meal, he almost couldn't wait to rush to the sofa when he heard the phone ringing.
"Hello, Mr. Lu. The hotel has upgraded your room type. If you would like us to send the room card to you, please?"
Lu Xuan: "You dialed the wrong number."
Where did he get the money to upgrade his room type?
"No," the hotel manager said, "Mr. Lu Xuan, a man named Xu Chao gave you the upgrade."
Xu Chao?
Lu Xuan remembered this person very clearly. It was this person who had forced Lu Jinzhi to have a video call, causing all his cards to be blocked.
But Xu Chao didn't know his identity information, so... Lu Jinzhi did it.
What he fears most is other people's sudden concern, especially when that person is the indifferent Lu Jinzhi.
Block him, but upgrade his room type?
"No need to send me off." He hung up the phone.
Lu Jinzhisheng's room must be haunted in the middle of the night.
Less than a minute later, his phone received another text message reminder.
One of his cards was unfrozen.
Lu Xuan: “???”
Is Lu Jinzhi possessed by something?
What bad luck!
Lu Xuan threw his phone away again, pretending not to see it.
Qiao Wu took in his reaction and said in confusion, "You're so jumpy today."
"I saw something unclean." Lu Xuan said naturally, "After you finish eating, take a rest quickly, otherwise it will come back to you later."
Qiao Wu: “…”
After dinner, Qiao Wu returned to his room but did not sleep.
Although she came to another city, she still had to do her work. She wanted to see if there was any information that needed to be processed today.
When she finished her work again, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. Worried that she would not be able to get up the next day, she planned to take a shower and go to bed.
While she was drying her hair, she saw a call from Lu Jinzhi on her phone.
"Lu Jinzhi?"
Lu Jinzhi hummed and asked directly, "Where's Lu Xuan?"
"He should be resting." Qiao Wu asked, "What's wrong?"
"I upgraded his room." Lu Jinzhi said succinctly, "Tell him to get out."
Qiao Wu was stunned.
So that unclean thing is Lu Jinzhi.
If Lu Jinzhi wanted to know Lu Xuan's whereabouts, there were ten thousand ways to do it. Qiao Wu didn't dwell on the issue: "My guest room is empty, it doesn't matter."
But Lu Jinzhi said, "The room is already booked, let's not waste it."
That's true.
"I'll go over and see if he's asleep." Qiao Wu agreed. "Wouldn't it be faster if you just called him?"
"He won't answer."
Lu Jinzhi didn't even release Lu Xuan from the blacklist, nor did he think of calling that stupid dog. Since Lu Xuan refused the hotel, he wouldn't answer his call, so there was no need to do such useless work.
"I'm looking for you," he said.
Qiao Wu was puzzled: "Looking for me?"
There was silence on the other end for a few seconds. Just when Qiao Wu thought he had hung up, he heard the other party's clear and gentle voice: "I have to work overtime today."
"Um?"
"Just to let you know I'm safe." Lu Jinzhi said.
When this rule was first formulated, Qiao Wu never thought of including Lu Jinzhi in it.
First, he is rational and intelligent and will not do anything that crosses the line. Second, he is not someone who would willingly be bound by anything, so the suggestions she made to Lu Jinzhi were just to hope that he would not affect the implementation of the rules.
But Qiao Wu didn't expect that what Lu Jinzhi meant by the rules he wrote was that he would strictly follow every one of them.
When he said he was reporting that he was safe, he really just meant it. After saying that, Lu Jinzhi hung up the phone.
Qiao Wu stood there in a daze for a while before he remembered to go find Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan had just finished taking a shower. When he heard someone knocking on the door, he gathered his bath towel.
But just as he reached the bathroom door, he suddenly remembered what Qiao Wu had said before, that no one would want him even if he sold himself.
He walked to the mirror, wiped off the mist on it, and revealed a handsome face with seductive red lips that made him very satisfied.
"So she really is tasteless."
While muttering, he put his hand back to tidy his hair, picked up the earrings that were originally placed beside him and put them on. After a pause, he gently pulled the collar of his bathrobe to make it more obvious, revealing a little bit of his chest muscles.
Fifty thousand yuan, this is all she can see!
After doing all this, he opened the door and was about to speak casually when he saw that Qiao Wu also had wet hair.
But unlike him, she was dressed neatly, only her hair had not been blown. Some of her hair stuck to her face, making her skin look even whiter and a little broken.
Lu Xuan's palm felt hot as he gripped the door handle. He looked away and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your brother upgraded your room," Qiao Wu said. "It would be a waste to leave it empty. You can go and sleep there."
Lu Xuan: “…”
Is Lu Jinzhi sick?! Why is he calling someone in the middle of the night?!
He felt something was wrong: "Did he call you?"
"Yeah." Qiao Wu's eyes were clear. "Go over there early. You can sleep in the master bedroom there."
Who the hell said they wanted to sleep in the master bedroom!
"I'm not going."
Qiao Wu thought about it and realized that Lu Xuan’s things were all placed here, so it would be troublesome to clean them up. She would have fewer things.
"Then I'll go." She turned around, "You should get some rest early."
Lu Xuan was hit in the face by the wetness of her hair. He grabbed the corner of her clothes and forced out a sentence: "I'll go, you stay."
Thinking that he had changed his mind, Qiao Wu did not insist.
"Then leave your things here for now," she said. "I'll pack them for you tomorrow."
Lu Xuan's mood was finally comforted a little. He nodded and turned away.
Qiao Wu was behind him. She felt that Lu Xuan looked like a wet puppy. But she couldn't understand why he would be disappointed if she slept in the master bedroom. With a comforting heart, she gently reminded him, "Remember to take off your earrings before going to bed."
Lu Xuan's back stiffened for a moment, then he rushed into the bathroom without hesitation.
He stood back in front of the mirror, angrily took off his earrings, and pulled his bathrobe tightly together.
Damn it, I’m so angry.
Qiao Wu is just tasteless! He has no vision!
What earrings! Those are his pecs!
One day he would let her know how charming he was and how many people outside were screaming for him!
He called the previous hotel manager to send the room card, and stood in the elevator holding his things and sulking.
I thought about it for a long time and became angrier and angrier, then I opened my phone and sent an email to the person who started it.
After blocking WeChat on mobile, can he also block email?!
At 10:30 in the evening, Lu Jinzhi received a new email notification in his mailbox.
The King of Looks in the Entertainment Industry: "Lu Jinzhi, if you can't sleep, can you take some more sleeping pills, focus on yourself, and stay away from the life of a superstar, okay? Stop harassing others all the time!!! You're a stalker!!!"
After reading the message several times, Lu Jinzhi got the information he wanted from his hysteria.
Go out.
Mark, spam.
After Lu Xuan sent many emails accusing Lu Jinzhi, he finally calmed down a little.
But on second thought, I still felt something was strange.
Lu Jinzhi blocked his card, and he should have not cared if he went to sleep on the street. Why did he suddenly unblock it today, upgrade his room type, and let Qiao Wu kick him out?
Are bosses so idle now?
It can't be that I care about him.
That’s Qiao Wu. He used to snatch things when he was a child, and he still snatches things now.
The key point is why he wanted to snatch Qiao Wu away, since Qiao Wu is obviously everyone's housekeeper now!
-
The acting training camp program has been running for several seasons. The participants are generally artists who have already debuted, some of whom are out of date, some who want to change careers, and some newcomers, so the coverage is quite wide.
There are 20 students in total, and each student has a period of self-presentation before entering the training camp.
Before this period, there will be an interview with relatives and friends.
The program team booked the same hotel for the students to facilitate interviews.
Early in the morning, the staff began to go to each room to prepare for the interview.
No one was surprised to learn that Lu Xuan had upgraded his room type. After all, everyone in the circle knew that he was a very wealthy second-generation rich.
But when they knocked on the door, all the staff were shocked.
The person who opened the door was not Lu Xuan, but an extremely beautiful young woman. She hadn't even put on any makeup, but she managed to withstand the close-up camera shots with her looks. She was so beautiful that the photographer who was following her forgot to enter the door.
The program's assistant director glanced down at the information in his hand, making sure there wasn't such a fairy in the academy. He asked blankly, "Who are you?"
"Hello." Qiao Wu stepped aside. "Are you looking for Lu Xuan? He's changing clothes. Please come in."
Lu Xuan didn't bother taking his luggage away last night, so he came early today to change his clothes, and also asked the production crew to come here directly.
"Excuse me." The assistant director was so frightened that he could barely hold the script. "You and Lu Xuan live... together? What is your relationship?"
Don’t tell me you’re an assistant agent if you look like this. Are you going to reveal the secret girlfriend of a rich second-generation man before the show even starts?
"I'm his friend, and we're here together for the interview." Qiao Wu knew what they were thinking and explained gently, "He had too much luggage and didn't pack it last night, so he came here to change. He's in the guest room."
“Oh oh!”
The assistant director didn't care whether it was true or not; he just wanted to get the answer, and the audience would decide. He didn't dare say anything to Lu Xuan easily. After all, although he wasn't famous, he was known in the industry as a troublemaker and difficult to please.
When they learned that he was coming to the show, the production team didn't expect him to make it to the end. They just wanted to catch a wave of traffic at the beginning. Lu Xuan couldn't stand hardship or being scolded. He had a low status and a bad temper, and he had no experience in filming, so everyone assumed that the young master would quit on his own in a few days.
As expected, the first wave of traffic came as soon as we started recording.
"He'll take his time changing." The assistant director didn't dare rush him. "It's the same if we interview you first."
Qiao Wu nodded: "Okay."
Lu Xuan, who was changing clothes, quickened his pace when he heard voices outside. When he opened the door and came out, the program crew had already started interviewing Qiao Wu.
In order to ensure the light and shadow of the camera, she sat in front of the window. The morning light cast a faint halo on her face. Even when facing the camera, she did not feel uncomfortable at all. She was so calm as if she was the focus.
The crew was so focused on filming her that they ignored the fact that he, the main character, had already appeared.
Some staff members who were facing away from him were secretly discussing: "I thought she was a new debutant, she is so beautiful."
"She's so calm, more composed than many of the people I just interviewed. She also has an outstanding temperament. I bet she'll get a lot of attention when the show airs."
"She's Lu Xuan's friend. If she debuts in the future, she'll definitely be a big hit based on her face and figure."
"Why don't you get her autograph or take a photo with her in advance? If she becomes famous in the future, it might not be your turn."
"Stop talking, I'm going to turn off the phone immediately."
Lu Xuan leaned lazily against the door and listened to the discussions, his eyes fixed on Qiao Wu like a camera.
The assistant director followed the script and asked, "When did you and Lu Xuan meet?"
Qiao Wu: "We've known each other since birth."
"We're childhood sweethearts, so what do you think of him? What do you think of him as an actor?"
Qiao Wu's eyes were fixed on the camera, but Lu Xuan's lazy posture straightened slightly.
He stared closely at the face deep in his memory, his fingertips on his arm closing uncontrollably, waiting for her answer.
What would she say?
They said he was a bad actor, had a bad temper, was a playboy, difficult to discipline, and... had no charm at all.
“He…”
Qiao Wu's voice fell in front of him along with the morning light.
The autumn sunshine has only a very faint temperature, but it is just enough to make people feel comfortable, just like her soft voice now.
"He's a clumsy person."
Lu Xuan's eyes trembled slightly.
The person in his sight seemed to look at him through the lens, a faint smile on her lips: "He is so clumsy and naive. I have no way to evaluate his abilities. Because as a friend, I will always be biased towards him, and I am always looking forward to his shining future."
At this moment, Lu Xuan blinked a little slowly. The sounds around him faded away, and only Qiao Wu's words kept echoing in his ears.
She said she would always be biased towards him.
