☆, Chapter 119 Leaving
Rulai Company is a relatively well-known dairy brand in City A. Its new yogurts have become a new internet celebrity yogurt because of their wide variety of flavors and are deeply loved by young people.
Wen Mianyu had been a spokesperson for a period of time and was therefore quite familiar with the company.
"Look, our company has just launched a new milk drink and is currently promoting it. We think Miss Su's image and temperament are a good match for the drink's positioning, and we'd like to discuss a possible collaboration," the man on the phone said. "I couldn't get in touch with Miss Su, and I just learned that you don't have an agent. I asked a friend on the crew for your number."
"So many twists and turns." Wen Mianyu smiled.
"It's been quite a journey." The man on the phone also laughed, very humorous and gentle. "It seems that Miss Su really needs to consider finding a Ji Ji Ren."
"Yes," Wen Mianyu agreed. As her popularity grew, she would have more and more collaborations, and relying on herself alone wouldn't be enough.
"I wonder if Miss Su is interested in cooperating on the product I just mentioned?" the man asked bluntly.
"I think it's great and I look forward to working with your company." Wen Mianyu readily agreed.
The cost-effectiveness of being a spokesperson is actually higher than filming a drama or attending a variety show. It takes less time and has higher returns. Dairy products are not prone to failure. The value of being the first spokesperson for a big brand like Rulai is still very high.
Wen Mian is quite interested in this cooperation.
"Then, Miss Su, do you have time tomorrow?" the man said. "Well, we're in a hurry to launch advertising for this product. If possible, we'll start filming the commercial after signing the contract. Of course, it won't take more than a few days, and we'll be done in about three days."
"Tomorrow... I still have to film..." Wen Mianyu was a little embarrassed. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this, I'll talk to the director and see if I can take a few days off."
"Okay, okay, then Miss Su, remember to give me an answer after the discussion." said the man.
"Okay." Wen Mianyu said.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Mianyu went out to find Director Lin, and happened to run into Director Lin directing the staff in the corridor with a script in hand.
Wen Mianyu stepped forward, "Director Lin."
"Wait." Director Lin waved his hand and gave a few instructions to the staff around him before turning to Wen Mianyu, "What's going on?"
"An endorsement agent has contacted me and wants to arrange an advertisement shoot in the next few days. We need to meet tomorrow to discuss. Can I take a few days off?" Wen Mianyu asked.
"Oh, you've already got an endorsement?" Director Lin was quite surprised. "What brand?"
"It's Rulai." Wen Mianyu explained the previous conversation on the phone, "They said it can be finished in three days."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll move Congxu's scenes to the front, so it won't delay anything." Director Lin said.
"Thank you, Director Lin." Wen Mianyu thanked him.
"Why are you being so polite?" Director Lin smiled. "Don't worry about going over to shoot. You only have a few days left to film. So, work hard."
"Okay." Wen Mianyu said.
…
After getting Director Lin's consent, Wen Mianyu immediately called the person in charge of the Rulai brand and made an appointment to meet at noon tomorrow.
Then, she found Lu Congxu and told him about this.
Cheng An happened to be next to her at the time. After hearing what she said, before Lu Congxu could speak, Cheng An frowned.
"You want to take several days off? The filming is almost finished, why don't you go after it's done?" Cheng An's tone was a little impatient, revealing a sense of impatience.
Lu Congxu looked at him calmly and said, "My things have been confiscated. Cheng An, go collect them."
"I..." Cheng An wanted to say something, but when he saw Lu Congxu's serious expression, he swallowed it back and turned away reluctantly.
Wen Mianyu watched him leave, her face full of confusion, "What's going on? Why do I feel like Xiao Cheng'an is hostile to me again? Did I offend him?" He was obviously much better in the past few days.
"It's nothing, he's just like that. He's young and his emotions are unstable." Lu Congxu pulled Wen Mianyu forward and held her hand. "Let Zhang Ye go back with you. I'll ask Xu Hong, your agent, to help you find a suitable one. You can also get an assistant when the time comes."
"No need." Wen Mianyu said, "I don't have much work now, one assistant is enough, and..."
Wen Mianyu paused, then suddenly smiled mischievously, leaned forward and lowered her voice, "As for the agency, I think I can just sign with your studio. Just ask Sister Hong to arrange some work for me."
Lu Congxu's eyes moved slightly.
Wen Mianyu looked up at him, "Okay?"
Lu Congxu lowered his eyes, stared at her for a few seconds, then raised the corners of his lips and said, "Okay."
…
Wen Mianyu actually had selfish motives when signing with Lu Congxu's studio.
It’s not that she hopes Lu Congxu, as the boss, will use all his resources to support her, but on the contrary, she hopes to reduce her workload appropriately.
In the entertainment industry, Wen Mianyu could be said to have reached the pinnacle in her previous life. She had achieved all the necessary accomplishments and had tried everything she wanted to do.
After living his life over again, Wen Mianyu didn't have much to pursue except revenge. There was no point in proving what he could do again.
She prefers to enjoy life.
Now that I finally have a relationship, of course I have to experience it well and make it work through learning and practice. This requires investing time, and Wen Mianyu is not stingy with it.
That's why I want to sign with my boyfriend's studio. This way I can arrange my time freely, choose high-quality work, and have more time for love.
If she signs with another company, as her popularity grows, her schedule will become increasingly full, and she will not be able to refuse due to the contract, which will be very troublesome.
After making up his mind, Wen Mianyu secretly contacted Xu Hong and made an appointment with her to meet after returning to the city to discuss the signing of the contract.
She secretly decided on something to give Lu Congxu a surprise.
So after returning to City A, Wen Mianyu's schedule became busy. He first met with the manager of Rulai Company, and after finalizing the cooperation, he met with Xu Hong and signed two contracts in one day.
In the evening, Wen Mianyu returned home at nine o'clock. He sent a message to Lu Congxu to report and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Half an hour later, Wen Mianyu came out of the bathroom, drying her hair while picking up her phone from the bed. She glanced at the reply and found that Lu Congxu had not replied yet.
Normally, Lu Congxu would reply to her messages quickly. Even when he was filming, he would take advantage of the break to reply.
Of course, if the filming is particularly busy, or when shooting underwater or aerial scenes, Lu Congxu has no time to look at his phone.
It was already ten o'clock. Lu Congxu had no night scenes scheduled in the past few days, so he would usually finish filming by this time, unless the scene was delayed because of the opponent actor or the props were not in place, which wasted time.
Wen Mianyu thought about it, sent another small emoticon, and then sent a message to Luo Zhifan, asking him how long the night show would last.
Luo Zhifan replied very quickly, almost instantly.
Luo Zhifan: What night scene? There were no night scenes for the entire crew today. We finished work at 9:30.
Wen Mianyu stared at the phone, couldn't help frowning, and sent a voice message directly.
"Work ended at 9:30. Emperor Lu and the others had already gone home?"
Luo Zhifan replied: "Yes, Mr. Lu left earlier than us."
Wen Mianyu: "I understand."
After sending the voice message, Wen Mianyu called Lu Congxu directly.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. It was an unfamiliar male voice, sounding like a young boy. "Hello, who is this?"
"Uh..." Wen Mianyu paused. She didn't expect that the person who answered the phone was not Lu Congxu. From the voice, it was obviously not Cheng An. It was someone she didn't know at all.
She took the phone off and glanced at the screen again. It was indeed Lu Congxu's number. Then she put the phone back to her ear and said, "I'm Lu Congxu's friend. Is this his number? Where is he?"
"It's Mr. Lu's friend! That's great!" The young man on the phone was visibly relieved. "Mr. Lu is in the bar right now. He's drunk. I was just wondering what to do with him. I can't even access my phone. Luckily you called..."
"He's drunk?" Wen Mianyu interrupted the boy's obvious incessant chatter and asked, "How could he be drunk? Did he go there alone?"
Lu Congxu has always been a very self-disciplined person. Except for the last time at the dinner party, Wen Mianyu has never seen him drunk.
Besides, Lu Congxu is not a person who likes to drink. He has precise control over his emotions and always keeps himself in a sober and rational state.
"Mr. Lu came with a friend and is now in the box. He got drunk and fell asleep here. We didn't move him to avoid causing unnecessary commotion. Are you his friend? Can you come and pick him up?"
"Okay, tell me the address and I'll be there right away." Wen Mianyu said hurriedly, "My location is a bit far, so it might take some time to get there. Please help me take good care of him and make sure no one takes pictures of him."
Although going to the bar is not a big deal, Lu Congxu is a big star, and any small thing he does can become a hot topic. If it is exposed, I am afraid that someone will say something nonsense to gain popularity, or that his opponents will take the opportunity to discredit Lu Congxu.
Wen Mianyu has always cared about Lu Congxu's reputation, so of course she couldn't allow this to happen. "Are you a waiter at the bar? You can ask the manager for some time off and help me look after Mr. Lu. Don't worry, I'll compensate you for the time you've wasted."
"Don't be so polite." The young man on the phone was a little embarrassed. "I'm also a fan of Actor Lu. I know celebrities are afraid of being photographed. Don't worry, I will be here until you come over."
"Okay, thank you." Wen Mianyu thanked sincerely.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Mianyu called a taxi and headed straight to the bar near the cinema.
The car arrived nearly an hour later. After getting off, Wen Mianyu asked the driver to wait outside. She entered the bar alone, went straight to the second floor, and found the box where Lu Congxu was according to the house number the boy gave.
Pushing the door open, the room was dimly lit. A figure was lying on the sofa, and a young man in a black and white uniform was sitting on a chair next to him, fiddling with his phone.
"Hello, I'm the person who just answered the phone. I'm here to pick up Actor Lu." Wen Mianyu stated his identity.
The young man stood up and said, "You're here, quite quickly. Mr. Lu was sleeping the whole time and didn't wake up."
"Thank you for taking care of him. Tonight is all thanks to you." Wen Mianyu stepped forward and politely thanked the young man.
Only when she came closer did the boy see her face clearly. Her pretty face was bright and beautiful, and its radiance was not diminished even in the dim light.
The young man blushed a little and scratched his head uncomfortably. "You're welcome. It's just a small favor. I'm glad you're here. Do you want to wake up Mr. Lu? I'll help you help him up."
"Don't worry, just keep this as a token of my gratitude." Wen Mianyu took out a stack of banknotes from her wallet and handed it to the boy.
"No, no." The young man waved his hands and stepped back.
"Please accept it, otherwise I will feel guilty." Wen Mianyu stuffed it into his hand and did not allow him to refuse.
The boy was forced to accept it. Looking at the thick stack of banknotes, there were several thousand yuan, which was definitely a lot as a thank you, enough for his monthly salary.
"Thank you for today." Wen Mianyu thanked him again and asked, "By the way, you said earlier that Mr. Lu came with a friend. Who did he come with? Do you know that person?"
"I didn't notice. The man was wearing a mask and sunglasses. After they entered the box, they didn't let me in. When they left, I didn't notice when he left." The boy replied.
"Male or female?" Wen Mianyu asked.
"He's a man, very tall and thin, about the same height as Actor Lu." said the young man.
"Is that so..." Wen Mianyu seemed to be lost in thought. He went through all the crew members in his mind and ruled out Lin Sheng, who was obviously not Director Lin either.
Director Lin is much shorter than Lu Congxu, and Mr. Lin is not as tall as Lu Congxu. The difference in their body shapes is still obvious.
A figure similar to Lu Congxu...
The figure of a person suddenly appeared in Wen Mianyu's mind, but then he felt it was impossible.
That person has been embroiled in scandals recently. In order to avoid suspicion and to make the public forget about those things, he hasn't made an official appearance for a long time, let alone appeared on the set. There was no need for him to come over.
And even if he was with that person, there was no need for Lu Congxu to get drunk. This was really strange.
Wen Mianyu walked forward, squatted in front of the sofa, and gently nudged Lu Congxu with his hand, "Mr. Lu?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Congxu finally responded. He moved his arm slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
"Awake?" Wen Mianyu was a little surprised and waved her hand in front of his eyes. "How do you feel? Are you dizzy? Are you awake?"
"You..." Lu Congxu's eyes moved slowly along with her hand. Suddenly he reached out, grabbed her, and pulled her forward.
The man didn't use much strength, but Wen Mianyu was squatting unsteadily, and was caught off guard, so she was pulled and bumped into Lu Congxu.
Lu Congxu put his arm around her, and above her head, he called her in a vague but sweet and intimate voice, "Mianmian..."
He had indeed drunk a lot of wine, and his body was full of the smell of alcohol. His breath was filled with the sweet and intoxicating scent of red wine, which sprayed on Wen Mianyu's head and filled the air around them, making Wen Mianyu drunk as well.
Wen Mianyu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and barely managed to break free from Lu Congxu's arms.
On the side, the young waiter who witnessed the whole process had his face flushed and was in a dilemma.
He originally wanted to stay to help Wen Mianyu help Lu Congxu out. Lu Congxu was so drunk that it was really difficult for Wen Mianyu to move him out alone.
Who would have thought that the two of them would hug each other directly...
this……
The boy suddenly realized that the relationship between the two might not be as simple as he thought.
Did he stumble upon something big?
So excited, my idol is in love.
But he didn’t know the girl in front of him, and he didn’t know if she was in the circle or not. She was so beautiful, so she should be in the circle, right?
The boy immediately imagined countless scenes in his mind.
