Lu Yuan didn't know that he had bullied the young hunk again for no reason.
Even if I knew it, I would definitely not take the blame.
He thinks he is an honest man.
Do your work honestly, make money honestly, and be a person honestly.
You say he's showing off?
Pooh!
Lu Yuan would definitely not admit that he was pretending to be cool. He even felt that he had only pretended to be cool a few times in the past six months. Moreover, when he tried to pretend, he either failed or pretended to be cool in a way that he didn't even want to pretend to be...
Life is fucked up like that, isn't it?
Of course, if Lu Yuan was given a choice, he would actually like to take the initiative and pretend to be cool a few more times.
I actually have a talent for learning English. I actually have a strong talent for languages. I’m actually not stupid. I’m actually an English genius…
In order to show off, Lu Yuan hypnotizes himself like this every day when he wakes up. He even gets excited while hypnotizing himself!
Think about it!
When going abroad, big directors all brought an interpreter with them, but I would do it myself without saying a word, speaking fluent English and making witty remarks that wowed the entire audience, even outshining the interpreters and leaving them dumbfounded.
How does it feel to be so pretentious?
Very cool!
It's interesting to show off actively in this way, and it makes you look cool, right?
So while others were making friends with this and that on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and occasionally nervously discussing their upcoming performances, Lu Yuan was stuck in the lounge, struggling to memorize words, learn grammar, and constantly hypnotizing himself that he was a language expert...
Of course, imagination is always beautiful, but reality is always cruel.
Lu Yuan is about to vomit!
He suddenly felt that the self-hypnosis mentioned in those tutorials never seemed to be very useful!
I memorized ten words yesterday and felt pretty good when I wrote them down, but today...
Damn, I forgot most of it again today.
Am I really that talented?
He began to doubt himself.
In the lounge, he threw English materials into the trash can several times, but not long after throwing them into the trash can, he shamelessly bent over to pick them up again and continued to endure...
He reminded himself.
He felt that if he wanted to show off, he should at least try to do it in a proper way instead of being passive for no apparent reason!
The feeling of showing off actively and showing off passively are really different.
After memorizing words for an entire afternoon, when Lu Yuan had memorized ten more words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and stuffed the English textbook into his bag.
Today's mission is finally completed.
If you persist every day for half a year, you will become an English expert!
Well, everything is fine!
Go out for a walk.
After walking out of the lounge, Lu Yuan instantly saw the crowded Spring Festival Gala scene and the famous Chinese stars and directors walking by from time to time. These directors and stars were asking each other questions and chatting and laughing.
These stars are different from the ordinary young idols. They are basically China's first-line stars and big directors. Although Lu Yuan is very popular in China and has a little presence internationally, in their eyes, Lu Yuan is still not qualified enough.
The entertainment industry suddenly became popular, and there were countless talented and prosperous people. However, these people were often as fleeting as shooting stars, and would gradually be drowned in this circle within a year at the latest. They had seen too many such things.
Lu Yuan is indeed talented, but in their hearts, Lu Yuan can never compare to Chen Guanxiong and Lin Yu.
Chen Guanxiong and Lin Yu are both truly tested by time, as for Lu Yuan...
Still a little tender.
"Hello, Lu Yuan."
"Haha, hello Lu Yuan."
"Xiao Lu, ok."
"Hehe, hello, Xiao Lu."
Of course, when these people saw Lu Yuan, they still greeted him with a polite smile. Even those who didn't greet Lu Yuan smiled slightly and nodded after seeing him. Of course, after nodding, they continued their conversation and it was obvious that they had no intention of coming over to chat with Lu Yuan.
They are not familiar with Lu Yuan.
So it was just a nodding acquaintance, not offending Lu Yuan nor getting too close to him.
Anyway, that's enough.
Everyone has their own company and group.
Although Lu Yuan also has it, but...
Can my company compare with those of Tianyu and Joaquin?
The gap is not that big!
Lu Yuan didn't care about these things, and he was not shameless enough to be like the socialite protagonist described in the novel, visiting friends here and handing out business cards there to introduce himself.
This is really not something that someone with Lu Yuan's personality can do.
In fact, Lu Yuan feels more comfortable when no one cares about him!
He really couldn't get used to the situation where so many people were paying attention to him wherever he went.
He wants to keep a low profile.
Lu Yuan yawned when no one was paying attention to him, found an empty seat nearby, sat down, closed his eyes and rested.
There is still an hour or so before the Spring Festival Gala begins, so he needs to take this opportunity to recharge his batteries.
Of course, from beginning to end, An Xiao had been keeping an eye on Lu Yuan since he came out of the lounge.
She felt that Lu Yuan was a little lonely.
But it's normal. After all, truly talented people throughout history have always been lonely.
Lu Yuan, since you have opened a company and made movies, revealing your huge ambitions, you can only endure this loneliness!
All kings who are about to ascend the throne are lonely.
At this moment, perhaps you are alone, silently enduring this feeling of loneliness and even feeling of being out of place.
but……
Maybe everything will be different for you from today on.
When An Xiao thought of this, he suddenly looked at Lu Yuan again...
Lu Yuan just yawned slightly and then stretched.
An Xiao didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt that the way Lu Yuan yawned seemed a little different from that of other people.
But An Xiao couldn't tell exactly what was different about it.
…
"Hey, Lao Li... Can't watch the Spring Festival Gala this year..."
"Oh, if you want to watch it, come to my house. I just bought an 80-inch LCD TV. It feels very comfortable!"
"I bought it this afternoon... Haha, not much, just over 10,000."
"Okay, by the way, notify Lao Li and ask him to come over as well. It would be better if he brought his wife and children along, as it would be more lively with more people."
"Hey, Lao Wang, do you want to watch the Spring Festival Gala this year? Do you want to watch it? Come to my house. My TV is big and the experience is great!"
"You're asking me about my bastard? My bastard is not going home for the New Year this year. He said he's busy outside. Haha...so our house is a little deserted..."
"Haha, yes, come, you must come."
"good!"
"Hello, is this Lao Liu? Come to my house to watch the Spring Festival Gala tonight. We have a big TV at home!"
"Yes, the TV is big, I just bought it, 80 inches, it looks really good...hahaha"
"Come, you must come. We'll be waiting for you at home. We have drinks, sunflower seeds, and everything else..."
"Haha, generous? I've always been so generous. I have to thank you very much for supporting my restaurant."
"Hahaha."
“…”
On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Lu Yuan's father started calling relatives and friends one by one to invite them.
The excuse for the invitation on the phone was naturally that the family had bought a large TV, and it would be a waste for the couple to watch the Spring Festival Gala together...
"Old Lu, did Old Qian call?"
"Yes, but he may not come."
"Never mind. I've already bought the things. It's up to him whether he comes or not. We don't need him."
"Yeah, that's right... He's not a big deal."
Around 7 o'clock in the evening.
Everyone arrived one after another.
After arriving, relatives and friends will naturally brag about this and that...
In short, it's just a lot of blind flattery.
"Hey, Old Lu, I heard that Ayuan is doing very well and has become a big star. A few days ago, I saw a group of reporters frequently coming in and out of your house."
"Haha, no more, just normal..."
"But it's not good to not go home for the New Year at this time! Although it's important to be a star and make money, it's also important to go home for the New Year."
"I can't help it. He's too busy to leave this year."
"What's so busy that you can't leave... Isn't it just about taking fewer shows?"
"This year is different. Some programs cannot be promoted, haha."
"Favors? I know that. Like my Liu Shuang, he's still in Yanjing running a creative company. I say, how much can that creative company be worth? It's only a few million a year. It's tiring work, and you have to sell favors. It's better to take the civil service exam, where the job is stable." Zhang Lin, the former workshop director of Lu Yuan's father, was the first to enter the house. When he entered, he had a big belly and a rosy face, looking very wealthy.
“Haha, that’s not true. Isn’t everyone’s path different…” Lu Yuan’s father laughed.
"Yeah, these kids don't listen to us old people..."
"Yes, I really didn't listen."
"Why."
Zhang Lin shook his head and sighed in front of Lu Yuan's father, saying that he was old and didn't want any money from his children.
Although Lu Yuan's father could tell that he was sighing in a ostentatious manner, he still laughed and sighed along with him.
As time passed, other people gradually came through the door...
Everyone gathered together sighing and lamenting, in short, there was a show of superiority between the lines.
Lu Yuan's parents stayed with them and sighed. The couple's faces still looked the same as when they first worked in the factory.
After all, this is a rural area. Although Lu Yuan is famous, the older generation doesn't pay much attention to the Internet. Although there are often reporters coming in and out of the village and asking about Lu Yuan's name, they don't take it seriously.
They just thought that Lu Yuan had become famous and a star...
But they still have no idea how they became famous and how awesome they are.
Of course the younger generations knew Lu Yuan.
But they never told their parents how great Lu Yuan was...
And there are no younger people entering here.
The younger generation either stays on their computers or doesn't watch the Spring Festival Gala...
Seven fifty.
Everyone sat on the chairs, eating melon seeds and chatting while waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to begin...
"Well, the hosts are still the same hosts, nothing has changed."
"Yes, my sons often complain that the Spring Festival Gala seems boring, and it seems that they do have some truth to it."
"Lao Lu's TV does look good."
"Yeah, it's really worth seeing."
"Is it Mr. Zhao Bengang who is performing a skit again? This year's skit is okay, but it's still the same old thing."
"yes."
"A singing show?"
"Yes. This little girl looks pretty. She is holding the hand of this young man..."
"Well, this young man looks a little familiar..."
"Wait, isn't this person Lu Yuan?"
"It's really Lu Yuan!"
"Lao Lu! I suddenly know why you called us..."
"Old Lu, you..."
"Old Lu..."
"Old Lu, no wonder you ran to the city to buy a TV this morning. I was wondering, TVs are so expensive now, why would you spend money to buy one if you are so stingy? I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it..."
"Old Lu, you..."
"We were all deceived by you!"
"Old Lu, you are so unkind. It will be unreasonable for you not to give in when we go to your restaurant for dinner in a few days!"
"Yes, it's very bad!"
“…”
When relatives, friends, and former leaders and colleagues in the factory saw Lu Yuan appear, they all subconsciously looked up at the cheerful Lu Yuan's father.
Lu Yuan’s dad was laughing.
The smile was happy, bright, and a little naive.
Lu Yuan's mother was also smiling, and her smile was much brighter than Lu Yuan's father's.
Everyone is just a little bit wonderful...
It turns out that this couple used this trick!
…
"On stage, the ratings are not right!"
"What's wrong?"
“The ratings have skyrocketed!”
"Straight up?"
"right!"
