"Xu Lu, what's with that expression? What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?"
Noticing that Xu Lu seemed stunned, Dilraba, who had just returned from Shanghai, asked.
"How could that be! I was just wondering, why did you suddenly come back from Shanghai? Did you get fired from that variety show?"
Xu Lu snapped out of his daze and blurted it out.
Reba immediately raised her little fist and said in an annoyed tone:
"Nonsense! I wasn't fired from the show. I just happened to have a few free days recently, so I came back to check in!"
Unlike some people, who haven't even thought to visit me once in all this time—they're so heartless!
"Ahem, you can't say things like that. Didn't I make a special trip to Shanghai last time?"
Xu Lu almost choked and quickly said.
But Dilraba directly exposed his lie, saying:
"Don't think I don't know. You went to Shanghai last time to help someone with feng shui. Seeing me was just a side trip."
"Hmph, Honey Sister told me all this, do you think I'd still be kept in the dark? Don't you know who I am?"
"Okay, okay, you're amazing, you're amazing!"
Xu Lu raised his hands in surrender, indicating he was not going to continue the conversation.
Fortunately, Dilraba didn't press her advantage and quickly added:
"Xu Lu, the people from your company who I came in to see have all left. Oh, and your pretty little assistant has left too."
What? Your movie came out today? Nobody went to see it with you? That's a little pitiful!
At this point, Reba paused for a moment, then quickly continued:
"Since I'm free, I'll reluctantly accompany you to see your movie."
"Seriously, what kind of name did you come up with? 'Summer's Depressed'? It's weird, really awful!"
"Tch! If you want to go to the movies with me, just say so. Why make up so many excuses? It's exhausting!"
Xu Lu was no pushover either, and added:
"Besides, if I really want to find someone to watch a movie with, I can just shout it out in the live stream later."
"Between now and then, there will be at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, people who want to go to the movies with me. Do you believe me?"
"Then go and shout it out now! I'll wait here and see if a thousand or eight hundred people come running over!"
Dilraba immediately challenged him.
Xu Lu blinked, stood up, and said:
"However, some people traveled all the way from Shanghai to watch a movie with me, so I can't let them down!"
So I won't call you today. Come on, little girl, I'll take you to eat first, and then we'll go see a movie.
"Pshaw! That's more like it!"
Hearing this, Dilraba finally smiled secretly.
For a moment just now, she was genuinely worried that Xu Lu would call for help, but thankfully he was just joking.
"Hmph, if he really brings a lot of people over, I'll definitely turn around and leave without hesitation!"
But since he didn't call anyone and is still so sincere, I'll reluctantly go and watch it with him!
So that if he finds out the box office was too low and he's heartbroken and crying, I can at least hand him a tissue.
Thinking of this, Dilraba's curiosity was piqued again, and she said:
"Xu Lu, did you offend Xia Lifei's people again? I noticed that Xia Lifei has a movie that's releasing tonight?"
"Do you think I have nothing better to do than offend this person and that person all day long?"
Xu Lu rolled his eyes, somewhat speechless, before saying:
"Those people were the ones who started the trouble for me, okay? I didn't even take them seriously."
Who knew these guys would stick to me like slugs? It's fucking disgusting!
"Then what are you going to do? Xia Lifei is quite capable in the film and television industry."
They deliberately scheduled their movie for release on the same day as yours, just to steal your box office revenue!
Dilraba said with some concern:
"Besides, you gave the movie a really bad name. Now that's bad. If it flops at the box office, that'll be a real problem!"
"Hehehe, don't talk nonsense, what do you mean by 'failed' or 'failed'!"
Xu Lu raised his hand to cover her mouth, but the other person escaped. He then said:
"In fact, I'm not worried about them stealing my box office; on the contrary, they're the ones in trouble!"
"You're really that confident in your 'Charlotte'?"
Dilraba asked curiously.
Although she knew that Xu Lu seemed to have plenty of money, he had still invested tens of millions in projects.
If the box office really flops, putting aside the money loss, the effort put into it will be a real waste.
Xu Lu smiled, but didn't answer directly. He simply said:
"Whether I'm confident or not, it's not up to me to decide, nor is it up to others to decide; it's up to the audience to decide!"
I won't say now; you'll know the answer to this question after you watch the movie tonight.
"Alright then!"
Reba nodded with some doubt, then immediately added:
"Xu Lu, I want to eat something delicious, like the one you took me to in that alley when we were in the same film crew for the first time!"
"What alley? I've forgotten about it!"
Xu Lu said casually.
Upon hearing this, Dilraba stopped abruptly, hands on her hips, which made her legs appear straight and slender.
"I don't care, just remember it! I want to go eat at that restaurant, I've wanted to eat there since we were in Shanghai."
"Alright, alright, I'm really scared of you. Seriously, why do you have so many demands, little girl..."
Xu Lu waved his hand dismissively.
Fortunately.
Although everyone else in the company had gone home, the driver knew Xu Lu needed a car, so he stayed on the job.
