After Chu Xiu found the phone number of the flower shop, she asked Lu Yuanzhou for the amount he was paying, and then transferred the money to him according to this amount. However, Lu Yuanzhou was so angry that he didn't even click to confirm. He didn't care about this small amount of money. Besides, he was the one who wanted to give the flowers, so he would never accept the money even if he was beaten to death.

Chu Xiu transferred the money to him, but after a long time, she didn't get any confirmation from him, nor did she get any scolding from him. The news just fell on deaf ears.

She was not in a hurry, she put down her phone and continued to shoot the night scene, and was not allowed to go back to the hotel to rest until after 2 o'clock. Before going to bed, she checked her WeChat and found that Lu Yuanzhou had not replied. She was basically sure that Lu Yuanzhou must have seen the message, but just didn't want to pay attention to her.

Although her body was tired and her head was heavy, Chu Xiu kept turning her phone over and over.

She opened her palm and stared blankly at the bright red mole on it. It looked like it was painted on, with a bit of three-dimensional feel, but it felt very smooth to the touch, without any feeling. Before, this red mole would occasionally get hot, but recently it had been so quiet that she almost forgot its existence.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep, but she was still as she stared at it, her heart beating fast.

The reason why Lu Yuanzhou tried every means to get close to her was because she could help him relieve his headaches and sleep, and Chu Xiu had always been clear about this.

During this period, the two of them had too much close contact, which made Lu Yuanzhou develop a possessive desire for her. It was normal, after all, he had a domineering personality.

He wanted to keep her by his side for a long time and continue to treat his illness, so he thought about being nice to her and was even willing to turn their pretend relationship into reality and become a real couple.

His thoughts are very realistic and rational, but without emotion.

Chu Xiu looked at the red mole on her palm and sighed helplessly.

In fact, no matter how good Lu Yuanzhou was to her or how much effort he made, in her opinion, he had an ulterior motive and he just wanted to cure his illness.

Chu Xiu felt that as long as this interest relationship existed, it would be difficult for them to touch upon the issue of feelings.

Because she couldn't trust him.

The next afternoon, another bouquet of 99 roses was delivered to Chu Xiu, this time in pink, charming and eye-catching. Chu Xiu took it without changing her expression, and handed it to Ran Ran, asking her to deal with it.

Ran Ran was reluctant to part with it, and finally took it back to Chu Xiu's room. For a period of time afterwards, Chu Xiu's room was like a flower shop, with bouquets of flowers here and there, dazzling to the eyes, and the strong fragrance filled her nose, almost causing her rhinitis to attack. She even suspected that Lu Yuanzhou sent these flowers deliberately to torment her.

Afterwards, she could only unwrap the flowers and give them to other people in the crew, while cursing Lu Yuanzhou for being a spendthrift.

These are all later stories.

After Chu Xiu received the second bouquet of roses, she still transferred money to Lu Yuanzhou. Even if he didn't accept it, the money would be returned after 24 hours. She still wanted to transfer it to make him angry.

However, Lu Yuanzhou did not accept the money and did not reply to the message, which clearly showed that he was angry with her and did not want to pay attention to her.

Sending flowers is like a fight, and there is no other store like it.

Zhao Xue came to the crew to see Chu Xiu when she received the third bouquet of flowers. She came to see her, but it was just a coincidence. She mainly wanted to take Gu Rou to meet the brand and make Gu Rou familiar to Director Guo. Finally, she came to see how Chu Xiu performed.

Director Guo Zheng gave Chu Xiu a lot of face and praised her generously, saying that her performance was very spiritual and it would only be a matter of time before she became famous.

Zhao Xue was a very tactful person. She smiled earnestly and said that it was all thanks to Director Guo's good guidance that Chu Xiu could have made such great progress.

Chu Xiu just listened with a smile on her face, she was so well behaved.

When Zhao Xue was speaking to Director Guo, Gu Rou was standing next to Chu Xiu. She curled her lips as she listened to Zhao Xue praising Chu Xiu along with Director Guo. She seemed to be unable to bear hearing other people's compliments. She whispered to Chu Xiu in a sarcastic tone, "I really underestimated you before. You actually managed to catch a big fish. I wonder if that big fish knows that you are a double-faced person?"

Chu Xiu turned around to look at her, blinked, and said, "Sister Gu Rou, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word you say. Can you please speak human language?"

Gu Rou: ...

"Don't pretend in front of me. How could I not know what kind of person you are?" Gu Ruo said through gritted teeth.

When she was going to audition for "The Beauty's Fury", Gu Rou had mentioned to Zhao Xue that she wanted to try out for the second female role, but Zhao Xue stopped her, saying that Chu Xiu was more in line with the original work, so she should let Chu Xiu play. At that time, she was already furious, but she had no place to vent. Later, Chu Xiu brought in money to become the female lead, and the second female Sheng Jie was kicked out of the crew. Gu Rou felt that this was an opportunity, and she didn't care even if she had to play a supporting role for Chu Xiu, as long as she performed well, Chu Xiu would be the one who was embarrassed.

Who knew that Zhao Xue replied to her after a while, saying that the candidates had been decided and she could not be arranged into the team.

Gu Rou thought at the time that this must be Chu Xiu's intention. After all, the two of them have always been at odds with each other. It is normal for Chu Xiu to secretly set a trap for her and not let her join the group.

Taking all the above factors into consideration, Gu Rou couldn't control her temper when facing Chu Xiu again.

Chu Xiu was ridiculed by her, but she didn't get angry. She said, "I don't know if you know what kind of person I am. I do know what kind of person you are, but I don't want to know what kind of person you are. It's better for us to continue to maintain this unfamiliar relationship."

Gu Rou: ...

Finally, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I wonder if you understand what I am saying?"

Gu Rou glared and was about to explode when she saw Zhao Xue finish her speech with Director Guo and turned around to wave at Gu Rou, "Gu Rou, come over and say hello to Director Guo."

Gu Rou then put away her bad mood, smiled beautifully, and strode towards Zhao Xue.

Afterwards, the two women talked to Director Guo for a long time, trying their best to leave some impression on Gu Rou.

Ran Ran was watching from the sidelines with a depressed look on her face. She whispered to Chu Xiu, "What's this? They said they came to visit you, but in fact, they just came to make friends!"

Chu Xiu turned around to look at Ran Ran and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Sister Zhao is still very reliable."

But her reliability is rarely used on Chu Xiu.

However, Zhao Xue obviously knew that what she did was a bit too much, so that afternoon, she asked the director for half a day off for Chu Xiu and took Chu Xiu to attend a small new product launch held by the brand.

“There are several well-known brands going there, you can follow us and show your face too.

Chu Xiu thought it was funny, was this considered a give-and-take approach to get to know each other? But since Zhao Xue said so, Chu Xiu naturally wouldn't refuse.

"I brought two skirts. Do you need me to lend you one? But our sizes seem to be different." After saying this, Gu Rou intentionally or unintentionally thrust out her chest.

She does have impressive financial resources.

But in fact, Chu Xiu's is not small either, just not as big as hers.

The Chinese New Year is just over a month away, and Xicheng has already entered a cold winter. Chu Xiuyi doesn't want to wear a skirt when going out. She has no tendency to be self-abuse.

Finally, she wore a more neutral suit and tied her hair into a simple ponytail at the back of her head, looking neat, tidy and fashionable.

When Zhao Xue saw Chu Xiu's outfit, she nodded with satisfaction. Her style was low-key yet heroic, not too ostentatious. While not stealing the limelight from Gu Rou, she also made herself look a little different.

She is a very smart girl. It seems that she has made rapid progress in the past few years without anyone noticing.

This time the brand's new product launch event was very small in scale, and was simply held as a small party, but the attendees were all brand executives and celebrities from the fashion industry.

Zhao Xue had come into contact with the brand many times before and there was a great chance of cooperation, so she brought Gu Rou with confidence this time, and Chu Xiu was only brought along on a whim.

The brand manager seemed to be very familiar with Zhao Xue. The two started chatting enthusiastically when they met. During the conversation, Zhao Xue introduced Gu Rou to the manager, while Chu Xiu stood aside consciously.

The brand manager knew that Chu Xiu came with Zhao Xue, so he said to Chu Xiu in a friendly manner: "There is a handsome chef showing off his cooking skills there. The food is delicious. You can go and try it."

Although she didn't understand why a cosmetics brand would invite a handsome man to show off his cooking skills at a new product launch conference, Chu Xiu still accepted the other party's suggestion and walked to the other side of the hall to see the handsome man.

He was indeed a handsome man, a foreigner, with deep and three-dimensional features, but Chu Xiu had never appreciated Western faces. She always felt that they all looked the same, and after seeing them too many times, she even became a little face-blind.

The food that the handsome guy made on the spot looked quite good, similar to Teppanyaki. He moved quickly and efficiently and made a portion of it very quickly. It should be beef or mutton, because many ingredients were used and the original material had been completely changed and could not be distinguished.

Chu Xiu was standing close, so she also got a portion, but she remembered that Director Guo said she wanted to lose weight recently, so she didn't dare to eat such greasy food. In the end, she just asked the handsome chef to take a picture of her with the meat, and then sent the picture to Ran Ran, making her very happy.

The brand manager soon finished chatting with Zhao Xue and walked to the dining table. Seeing Chu Xiu holding the food and just taking pictures, he asked her why she didn't eat.

Chu Xiu smiled and said that she had been losing weight recently.

The other party also laughed and said that her figure and skin looked very good and there was no need for her to lose weight.

After the party, Zhao Xue sent Chu Xiu back to the hotel and then left with Gu Rou. They had to rush to attend the next announcement.

I thought the matter would stop here, but that night, Zhao Xue actually called Chu Xiu and said that the cosmetics brand had chosen her to be the spokesperson for Greater China.

Zhao Xue's tone when she spoke was not very pleasant, and Chu Xiu was completely dumbfounded.

After hanging up the phone and coming back to her senses, Chu Xiu suddenly realized that she had snatched Gu Rou's endorsement opportunity. She couldn't help but feel a little subtle.

But she was still in a good mood, so before going to bed she posted the photo of the handsome chef to her Moments and wrote: "Men who are good at cooking are really handsome!"

South city.

When housekeeper Liu woke up early in the morning, he heard that the master wanted to visit the kitchen. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. Didn't the master always follow the principle of "a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen"? Why did he suddenly want to visit the kitchen?

As a result, Mr. Guo not only visited the kitchen, but also asked an incredible question, "What do you think about me learning some cooking skills?"

Butler Liu shook his head very honestly, "I don't think it's that good."
