"Mr. Gu, we are here."
The journey took quite a long time and Gu Qingchi was a little sleepy. It took him a while to respond. When he got off the car, he found that there was a drizzle in the sky, and it felt cool on his face.
As soon as he got off the car, one of the two staff members who came to pick him up held an umbrella for him.
Gu Qingchi looked at the house which was only a few steps away and paused.
"Thank you very much."
The staff member replied quickly.
"It should be."
Gu Qingchi walked towards the trunk.
He didn't bring much with him, just a small suitcase.
Just as he was about to take it out, another staff member kindly helped him get it out.
"I'll just do it. It's my job."
Gu Qingchi has always stayed away from people and was used to handling everything by himself. He was a little uncomfortable being treated so attentively, but he didn't insist.
Whether being taken care of attentively or having to handle everything by himself, Gu Qingchi doesn't care much. He doesn't feel uneasy because of such care, nor does he feel sad and lost because of the lack of care.
His slow response to the outside world is also reflected in this aspect.
He showed a very negative attitude, no matter what, I don't care.
Xie Luyu was the first to go downstairs. He took a quick look and saw that there were only staff members in the living room. He was surprised.
"Where are the people? Didn't we talk about them?"
A staff member replied.
"The car just arrived at the door, coming right up."
It happened that the three men also came down, and Zhou Yingying couldn't help but sneered when she heard this.
Xie Luyu turned his head and looked at her without saying anything.
These three people are too young and immature, just like college students who have just entered the society. The only thing missing is a label on their forehead. Especially Zhou Yingying, who is good-looking and has a good family background. She has had a smooth journey all the way and is probably being praised too much.
Xie Luyu didn't even have to think about it, he knew what was going on at a glance.
The program team did not give a specific time for the assembly, only a date. To be precise, as long as you arrive before today, you will not be considered late.
Xie Luyu himself did not think much about it, he just treated it as a trip, he just came after packing up, and he arrived early or late, so he felt that there was nothing to say.
He really felt that this was unnecessary, but he had no right to care what other people thought.
In fact, there are quite a few people who care about this kind of thing.
Generally speaking, it is basically second- and third-tier stars, especially the young ones, who are more likely to have such things happen because they have become a little famous but cannot keep their fame stable.
These three people account for almost everything.
If you're lucky, the newcomer will just be treated with a few cold shoulder and be excluded. If you're unlucky, the entire recording process will probably be very difficult. There are too many things that can be manipulated.
But it has nothing to do with him, he just comes here to take a vacation and relax.
Xie Luyu thought without any psychological burden. In essence, he was a believer in the law of the jungle.
The first person to push the door open was a staff member, who was pulling a small suitcase in one hand and holding the door with his other hand for the person who came in later.
Huang Hanyu smacked his lips, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional.
"This guy is so arrogant, even more so than Brother Xie--"
Huang Hanyu's words got stuck in his throat and he suddenly felt a little at a loss.
The man walked in with his head down and looked at him. His eyes were indifferent and he glanced at him lightly, but Huang Hanyu's face felt a little hot.
Gu Qingchi entered the room escorted by two staff members, and heard Huang Hanyu's words clearly.
He looked over, as if he didn't hear what Huang Hanyu said.
"Sorry, I'm late."
The staff at the back was putting away the umbrella they had just held for Gu Qingchi, and explained when they heard this.
"It's our fault. There was a landslide on the Panshan Highway that blocked the road, so we were late."
The director waved his hand, signaling the camera to go towards Gu Qingchi and the others.
The photographer skillfully pointed the camera at Gu Qingchi.
Gu Qingchi's hair was a little longer, with the longest part reaching his chin. He tied up the longer part with a rubber band, and left the shorter part loose, just the right size for a small bun.
Pretty, but not feminine at all.
Gu Qingchi was just trying to make things easier, so he originally wanted to cut it himself, but Ye Li told him not to do it casually and to hire someone to do it for him.
Originally, even the styling team had been arranged, but after seeing him tie his hair, Ye Li gave up the idea and instead gave him a box of disposable rubber bands.
Gu Qingchi's clothes were simple, black trousers that were tightened at the legs, looking very neat, a white T-shirt with a black circle pattern on the chest, and a jacket.
The only accessory was a black wristband on his hand.
He is a natural clothes hanger, with such good proportions that he looks like he came out of a comic book.
The photographer kept his camera pointed at Gu Qingchi, sighing as he took pictures.
Huang Hanyu walked up to Gu Qingchi and shook hands with him, saying with a smile.
"I'm Huang Hanyu, and over there are Yingying and Yueran. Brother Xie, you must know them, so I won't say much. Welcome."
In the living room, Xie Luyu, whose face looked as if he didn't care who came, quietly pricked up his ears.
Gu Qingchi was used to being treated warmly, or rather, he had always been treated warmly, but Gu Qingchi's attitude was the same. Whether someone hated him or liked him, he didn't care.
He lives in this world, but seems to be separated from everything by a barrier, separating him from other people and things.
Just like a cat, it lives its own life. No matter who it is, or whether the other person has good intentions or bad intentions, it will run away immediately if someone comes a little closer.
Unless you allow him to let down his guard over a long period of time and allow him to get closer to you little by little, otherwise you will always be no different from other people in his world and will be an insignificant person.
Gu Qingchi hummed, and then said simply.
"Gu Qingchi."
Xie Luyu on the other side received it accurately and chewed the name over and over in his mind several times.
Including this time, he and Gu Qingchi have met three times, and each time was deeply impressed.
Xie Luyu considers himself not a superficial person, but everyone is willing to take a second look at a beautiful woman, so it would be a lie to say that he doesn't care at all.
There are many beauties in the entertainment industry.
Xie Luyu looked at them openly. If he was familiar with the other person and knew that his actions would not offend others, he would even make a joke.
But he was not as calm as before Gu Qingchi. He acted like a young boy in front of Gu Qingchi.
Neither emotional intelligence nor humor is of any use. When people are right in front of him, he just looks at the sky and the earth but doesn't even look at Qingchi.
Xie Luyu has always been arrogant and blindly confident in everything about himself. He is not afraid of anyone and can even turn the relationship between superiors and subordinates into socialist brotherhood.
To some extent, he is similar to Gu Qingchi. He is the same to everyone he meets, and none of them are as crazy as him.
When I was a newcomer, I still hung out with the director.
At that time, he had no achievements and his reputation did not match his position. When Xie Luyu debuted as a newcomer, he attracted a lot of attention with his looks. He had a bad temper and was a hot topic, so he was criticized by various tabloids for being arrogant every day.
Later he became famous quickly, with fans and haters everywhere. He said that arrogance was no longer appropriate, so he removed the arrogance and continued to criticize him for being arrogant. It can be said that he single-handedly supported countless tabloids.
Xie Luyu, who had been a wild kid since birth, now understood for the first time the emotion of nervousness. He was like a student waiting for the teacher to give out his grades. He had to behave himself with his tail between his legs, not daring to be wild or coquettish. He just kept a low profile and developed in a low profile, for fear of getting a failing grade.
This shouldn't be the case, Xie Luyu thought deeply, and finally attributed this emotion to guilty conscience. He saw the half-naked person when they first met, and then ran away after seeing it. This must be a guilty conscience.
After convincing himself, Xie Luyu lived on with peace of mind. As he should, he has always been adaptable.
When Gu Qingchi arrived in the living room, the five guests gathered together for the first time.
The staff then proceeded with the step that should have been carried out first.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, we are going to check everyone's suitcases. Just to be clear, cash, cards, and food are all prohibited items. If found, they will be confiscated."
We had been notified before the show, and everyone was mentally prepared.
Huang Hanyu and the other two checked quickly and found that most of the items were clothes and cosmetics, and some snacks that were attempted to be smuggled were also confiscated.
Continuing the inspection, Xie Luyu took the initiative to push the box over.
"Go ahead and check me out."
Xie Luyu had two suitcases and a bag, both of which were quite big and had more stuff in them than the others.
The staff spent more than ten minutes just checking and did not find any contraband as mentioned by the program team. The only minor problem was that they found a bottle of Liushen floral water.
Next to the toilet water was a watch, a brand that cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. The watch was casually placed aside, while the toilet water was placed solemnly in the middle, which was enough to show how much the owner valued it.
The green bottle was very conspicuous, so the photographer moved the camera over to take a close-up.
Xie Luyu became alert.
"You didn't say we can't bring floral water. This place is close to the mountain and there are lots of mosquitoes."
The staff put it back.
"You can bring it, but I've never seen anyone bring this."
Xie Luyu was relieved. He only attracted mosquitoes, but others were fine standing next to him. He had seven or eight lumps on his body.
He has tried all kinds of fancy mosquito repellent tools, but in the end he still returns to the embrace of floral water. He always brings floral water with him when he goes out; floral water is his life.
Next it was Gu Qingchi's turn. He had the least stuff among the group, with only a few pieces of clothes in his suitcase.
The clothes were matched for him by Ye Li. They were simple, the kind that couldn't go wrong, nothing fancy, and they matched the style of what he was wearing.
After all the checks were completed, the staff member said again.
"Usually the first day of a program is for everyone to rest and no tasks will be released. This time it is special, and the first task will be released today."
The staff member took out a card and read it.
"The designated tasker is Gu Qingchi."
"This mission is a punishment for being late—"
Huang Hanyu interrupted before he finished speaking.
"You can't blame Qingchi for being late. No one wants to get into trouble on the road, so let's just let the punishment pass."
Zhou Yingying snorted and crossed her arms.
"That's also late."
The staff turned around to seek the director's advice and came back.
"Considering the circumstances, the punishment was chosen to be something that was easily accomplished."
"The mission is to change the style. The specific content is that all clothes brought by the guests will be banned, and all clothes during the show will be provided by sponsors."
As he spoke, another staff member came up pulling a suitcase, which was a circle larger than Gu Qingchi's own. There was a five-pointed star logo on the black suitcase.
This brand is a sub-brand of a company and is quite famous. It focuses on trendy clothing. Many of the clothes are very bold and avant-garde, and are very popular among fashion bloggers. They have a punk style and you will be the coolest guy when you walk on the street wearing them.
In short, the style of the box of clothes that Ye Li prepared for Gu Qingchi is not only different, but completely opposite.
