Among all the Asian actresses, Lu Baoqi's performance was the most outstanding.
At the celebration banquet, she wore a red silk dress with a few jade-colored pearls adorning the neckline, which complemented her earrings and necklace perfectly.
The photographers kept snapping photos, some even right up to her face.
Lu Baoqi greeted guests with a professional smile. Only when her agent gestured did she lower her head and head towards the lounge.
"This is so annoying! These people have absolutely no manners!"
Lu Baoqi couldn't get used to the food here. She picked up her wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and complained with her delicate brows furrowed.
"Alright, my dear, this production crew is actually quite normal. Aside from making you go through the motions, they haven't made any other demands. You should be thankful!"
The agent took a down jacket that looked like a blanket and wrapped her up from head to toe.
I looked out the window at the waiting nanny van.
"Did my brother call me?"
Lu Baoqi picked up her bag, took out her phone, and saw Lu Han's missed call. Her expression showed some displeasure.
"I don't know, there were so many people just now, I didn't hear your phone ring at all."
The agent observed her expression.
He pulled her to the car, then said, "But I received a call from a stranger claiming to be your brother. He sounded drunk, so I thought he was a scammer, yelled at him, and hung up!"
Lu Baoqi glanced at him sideways, "You really are something, I've told you so many times, I'm definitely making time to see him this time!"
The agent looked enigmatic. "Baby, can't we reschedule?"
He could definitely recognize Lu Han's voice.
But the people who were with Lu Han didn't sound like good people at all.
Lu Baoqi probably didn't realize how alluring her outfit was today; if she went like that, she would inevitably regret it.
Whether a female celebrity is high-profile or low-profile depends on the occasion.
An agent who is well-versed in the rules of the entertainment industry does not want the female star he has nurtured to flaunt her charm everywhere.
In his view, this is no different from a wealthy person carrying a vault and handing out money everywhere.
Only someone with a mental illness would do that.
Lu Baoqi got into the car and gave him a deep look. "I'm just going to see my brother, is that any of your business?"
The director didn't make things difficult for her; instead, he gave her a lot of constructive advice.
Lu Baoqi realized her previously overlooked talent and saw more possibilities.
This agent is so effeminate, like a tight headband around her head, and she's had enough of it!
"According to the contract, I can't interfere with your private life, but Bao'er, you should at least go back to the hotel and change into some casual clothes before you go..."
Before the agent could finish speaking, the car door had already closed.
Lu Baoqi's sudden glance seemed calm, but something unseen in the economics was stirring within her.
Is she about to lose control?
The agent quickly took a taxi back to the hotel and called Huo Jingxi.
But the phone only rang once before it was disconnected.
In desperation, the agent suddenly remembered "Cuihua," who often followed Lu Baoqi around, and she answered quickly.
But the overly unrestrained laughter made him want to hang up.
"Hey, the big agent is calling me at this hour. Did he find me a good role?"
"Cuihua" had just finished a phone call with her son and was counting the huge sum of money that had just been deposited into her account, beaming with joy.
The agent cleared his throat.
"There is a good role available, but the director hasn't decided on the actor yet. If you're interested, I can recommend you."
Cuihua was overjoyed when she heard this.
After visiting her husband Fan Tong, the lingering melancholy in her heart vanished.
"Great! That's wonderful! Whatever role I want to play—a live-in maid chosen by a domineering CEO, or a concubine who's moved into his household—I'm fine with anything!"
The agent gave a few perfunctory remarks before getting to the point.
"Could you please make a trip to the Huo family and tell President Huo that I have something important to report to him..."
Cuihua tried to get the agent to agree several times, but the agent wouldn't budge, only urging her to go now.
After hanging up the phone, Cuihua immediately dialed Lu Han's number.
"The third young lady of the Lu family has already gone to your place. Just do as I say, and there definitely won't be any problems!"
"Son, just listen to your mother this once. Find her some random foreigner to fool her, and you'll be her agent. Let her make money for us!"
"As long as we control her, why worry about not being able to take over the entire Lu family in the future?"
Lu Han walked out of the smoky bar onto the street and was bumped hard by a drunk man. When she came to her senses, she found a note in her hand.
He unfolded it and glanced at it, then ran quickly towards the intersection.
He murmured, "Lu Baoqi can't be hurt..."
...
After analyzing the situation, the three of them noticed some clues in Su Yu's photo.
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Su Yu is indeed not a bad person. He must have his reasons for doing this, but I still hope my guess is wrong!"
Du Guanglong gritted his teeth and spat.
"That pretty boy bastard, I thought he was different from the Su family, but I never expected him to be so full of bad intentions!"
“It’s true that bad bamboo can’t produce good shoots. This is also my fault. I had my brothers keep an eye on him at first, but they didn’t find anything unusual, so I let my guard down.”
"Now it seems that he had been planning this all along, ever since he attended the third son's coming-of-age ceremony!"
"Such profound thoughts, such sharp methods, a masterful tactic of hiding the truth from the shadows!"
Huo Jingxi stood with his arms crossed, looking cold, and remained silent for a long time.
His phone would occasionally ring with call notifications, but he would ignore them and simply press the call button.
