Lu Yuanzhou was a man of action. He said he would help Chu Xiu investigate the matter, and he immediately called his assistant to arrange it. Lu's family was powerful and had many connections, so it was no problem for him to investigate this. Moreover, Lu Yuanzhou made clear instructions that the investigation must be carried out seriously, so his subordinates naturally did not dare to relax.

Chu Xiu watched Lu Yuanzhou discussing this with his assistant on the phone, and her mood was particularly complicated. Since the two of them got married, Lu Yuanzhou has done far more for her than she has done for him. He bought her dresses, invested in TV series for her, arranged a motorhome for her, and now helped her investigate the secret filming. In contrast, she was reluctant to give him a few kisses every day, and she was even more reluctant when he asked her to sleep with her so many times.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that I have been a bit too much. I have always accepted Lu Yuanzhou's kindness but never thought about taking the initiative to do something for him.

In fact, what purpose did he have in approaching her? What did it matter? They were not a couple in the first place. Whether Lu Yuanzhou valued love or not had nothing to do with her! What was she angry about? Did she have other expectations of Lu Yuanzhou in her heart?

impossible!!

Lu Yuanzhou stayed in the hotel until the evening, and after dinner with Chu Xiu, he packed his bag and left. In fact, his original plan was to stay until the next morning, but Assistant Du almost cried on the other end of the phone. There was a video conference abroad in the middle of the night that Lu Yuanzhou had to go back to host, and he couldn't be absent.

When Lu Yuanzhou said he was leaving, Chu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. After spending the whole day together, her firm determination had begun to waver. Several times, she even wanted to nod and say: Let's sleep together after I get back from filming.

But she didn't say this until Lu Yuanzhou left. She thought that she should wait until the show was finished before telling him about it. Anyway, they were far apart now and couldn't sleep together.

Two days after Lu Yuanzhou returned to Nancheng, when Chu Xiu was filming, Ran Ran went to the outside of the set to pick up someone, a girl who looked very strong.

The other party introduced himself and said, "Hello, Miss Chu, my name is Lin Lin, and I was sent by Mr. Lu. From today on, I will be your assistant and bodyguard."

Chu Xiu was a little confused. She had never heard Lu Yuanzhou mention this before.

Ran Ran said nervously, "Sister, Mr. Lu is assigning you an assistant, so he's not going to fire me, is he?"

Chu Xiu smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, your position as the first assistant will not be shaken."

After that, wherever Chu Xiu went, Ran Ran and Lin Lin would follow her. Others didn't know the inside story and just thought that their company had assigned her an extra assistant.

When Chu Xiu was talking to Lu Yuanzhou privately on the phone, she mentioned the matter of sending bodyguards, but she asked him sharply: "Did you find out something? Why did you suddenly send me a bodyguard?"

Lu Yuanzhou said: "The cameras were installed to target you. We are still investigating who is behind this, but the results will come out soon. Just in case, you should always bring your bodyguard with you. She is quite skilled."

"I understand." Chu Xiu said.

Most of the time, Lu Yuanzhou gave her the feeling that he was very reliable, as if there was nothing he couldn't solve.

Perhaps it was because he was too powerful and too lonely that Lu Yuanzhou kept causing trouble for Qin Zhige in the later stages, leading to the two becoming enemies in the business world.

In "Why Sing Joy", the definition of the villain Lu Yuanzhou is a stepping stone on Qin Zhige's road to success. The two compete with each other in wits and courage. Because the audience's perspective is on Qin Zhige's side, they naturally find Lu Yuanzhou annoying.

But after Chu Xiu came into close contact with him, she felt that Lu Yuanzhou's true character was actually quite cute, except that he was usually rather sharp-tongued and easily offended people.

Two days later, Lu Yuanzhou found the person behind the installation of the camera. As Chu Xiu was surprised, it was Gu Rou. However, it was still a bit surprising that this was not done by Gu Rou alone, she also had a partner, Sheng Jie.

After Chu Xiu knew about this, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had only offended these two people before, and she didn't expect that they could team up to trick her.

Sheng Jie is also interesting. In the original book, she teamed up with Yuan Chuxiu to trick He Yihuan. Unexpectedly, she has teamed up with Gu Rou to trick her now, and they are all using secret photography methods. Is this the only trick she knows?

Lu Yuanzhou was able to find out that Gu Rou was the person behind the scenes, so he could naturally find out that Gu Rou and she were from the same company and had the same agent. So he was very rude when he spoke on the phone, "I've read your agent's information. This person doesn't treat you very well, but he cares a lot about Gu Rou. His heart is almost on your back, right? How can you tolerate this?"

Chu Xiu smiled bitterly. Zhao Xue was one of the best agents in the circle. Others considered her lucky to be able to follow her. Besides, Zhao Xue's treatment of Yuan Chu Xiu was also commendable. Although she was not very popular, she still had resources, but not as good as Gu Rou's.

In the end, she didn’t say anything bad about Zhao Xue, but just said, “The position of human hearts is biased, so most people are biased.”

Lu Yuanzhou chuckled a few times and said, "Indeed, I am biased, so you don't have to worry about it. Leave it to me."

Chu Xiu didn't ask him how he was going to take care of it. She just smiled and said, "Okay." Then she turned around and went back to filming.

In the following days, the two chatted on WeChat and never mentioned the matter again. Although Chu Xiu occasionally wondered in her heart how Lu Yuanzhou would handle it, she never asked.

It was not until Ran Ran showed Chu Xiu the latest news in the entertainment industry on her phone, the news that Sheng Entertainment had been acquired by Lu Group, that Chu Xiu realized that Lu Yuanzhou's way of dealing with Sheng Jie was to buy her brother's company!

Chu Xiu suddenly remembered what Lu Yuanzhou had said to threaten Sheng Jie when they were at the gym. He told Sheng Jie to stay home and not embarrass herself again, otherwise he would buy her brother's company and give it to Chu Xiu, making the entire Sheng family have to live their lives under Chu Xiu's control.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzhou kept his word and actually bought Sheng's company!

Sheng's Entertainment is also quite famous in the industry, so when the news came out, many people in the crew were talking about it. During a break on the set that day, Chu Xiu heard Gu Qinghe and Director Guo discussing this topic.

"Sheng Entertainment has invested in several hit movies and TV series in recent years, so the revenue should be good. Even if Sheng Yi is a gambler, he won't lose all the money in the company, right?" Director Guo said.

Gu Qinghe said: "No matter how good Sheng's performance is, it can't stop Lu's acquisition. I heard that Sheng's internal conflicts have been going on for a long time."

The assistant director said: "Is Lu trying to get involved in the entertainment industry? First they invested in our crew, and then they acquired an entertainment company."

Director Guo shook his head, "Our drama was invested by Mr. Lu out of his own pocket, so it doesn't count as Lu's."

A drama costs hundreds of millions to make, and Lu Yuanzhou is the largest investor, so the investment must be huge, but it turns out it was just his own pocket money!

When several people talked about this, they all secretly glanced at Chu Xiu. They knew very well in their hearts that this lady was someone they absolutely could not afford to offend!

That subtle look made Chu Xiu feel very embarrassed. She turned around and took her phone back from Ran Ran and called Lu Yuanzhou.

Before she could say anything, Lu Yuanzhou spoke first, saying, "I was just about to call you, too."

Chu Xiu was stunned for a moment and asked him, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yuanzhou said, "What about you? Do you want to talk to me about something?"

After being interrupted by him, Chu Xiu had already forgotten why she was calling. "I don't have anything to do."

Lu Yuanzhou did not ask any more questions, but instead talked about the matter of looking for her, "In the next two days, Assistant Du will bring a lawyer and some documents to see you, and you will just sign them when the time comes."

Chu Xiu asked: "What document?"

Lu Yuanzhou said in a deep voice with a smile, "I bought an entertainment company and planned to give it to you as a toy."

Chu Xiu: ...

"Sheng Entertainment?" she asked.

Lu Yuanzhou said: "The information is quite well-informed."

Chu Xiu said: "The entertainment industry is discussing this now."

"You know better, so I don't have to explain it again," he said.

Chu Xiu frowned and said, "Wouldn't that be a bad idea?" After all, it was a company, and it was the jobs of many people. If he said he would buy it, what would happen if the business went badly?

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. That's how business works. It's just the survival of the fittest. Besides, you've already bought it. Why would you send it back? Just wait patiently for the signature."

Chu Xiu: ...

As a result, Chu Xiu waited for Assistant Du and the lawyer before she arrived, but Zhao Xue arrived first.

This time Zhao Xue came over at night, and brought Gu Rou with her. They both looked unhappy, and they must have had a hard time these past few days.

When they arrived, Chu Xiu had already returned to the hotel to rest, so the two of them went directly to Chu Xiu's room.

As soon as she entered the room, Zhao Xue didn't waste any words and said straight to the point: "Chu Xiu, we came here today to ask you for something. Please ask Mr. Lu to let Gu Rou go, okay?"

Gu Rou was standing behind Zhao Xue, her eyes red from crying.

Chu Xiu was sitting on the bed. After hearing this, she pointed at the sofa and said, "What's the matter? Sit down and talk slowly."

Zhao Xue took Gu Rou to sit on the sofa and said to Chu Xiu, "Some of Mr. Lu's friends in the entertainment industry have said that they want to ban Gu Rou. Chu Xiu, you know that Gu Rou has worked hard in the industry for many years and finally achieved today's results. If she is banned, all her efforts over the years will be in vain."

Chu Xiu was playing with a palm-sized plush doll that she had asked for from Ran Ran. After hearing what Zhao Xue said, she curled her lips and said, "Sister Zhao, before you came to beg for mercy, did you know what Gu Rou had done to me?"

Zhao Xue nodded awkwardly, "Gu Rou told me afterwards. I'm really sorry Chu Xiu. This is also my negligence. I didn't do ideological work for Gu Rou in time, but she was also instigated by Sheng Jie."

Gu Rou had been crying beside her. After hearing this, she looked up and said, "Chu Xiu, I'm really sorry. I just thought about it for a moment and agreed to Sheng Jie's suggestion. I went to the bar to drink that day and ran into her by chance. I heard her scolding you. I was drunk and told her about the endorsement. She said she would teach me a lesson...teach you a lesson..."

Gu Rou wiped her tears and continued, "I didn't say anything else. I just introduced a friend in the photography studio to Sheng Jie. These were all planned by Sheng Jie. It really has nothing to do with me."

Chu Xiu sneered, "It's none of your business. When she was planning to steal me, you knew about it, right? You knew about it but didn't tell me. Is there any difference between this and directly harming me?"

Chu Xiu said: "Sheltering a criminal is also a crime!"

Gu Rou's face was full of tears, "I..."

Zhao Xue quickly interrupted and said, "She knows she was wrong. Chu Xiu, you see, things haven't gotten out of hand yet. Can you ask Mr. Lu to forgive her this time? I will definitely take good care of her in the future."

Chu Xiu sighed and said, "Sister Zhao, I have always respected you and I think you have been very good to me in the past few years. No matter what resources you assign to me, I am very happy. But just now, when you brought Gu Rou in, I felt very uncomfortable. You came to ask me for help, which clearly put me on the opposite side of you and Gu Rou. You are worried about Gu Rou's career, but have you ever thought that I am also your person. If I am secretly photographed this time and the information is posted online, then my career will be over. Then, who should I ask for help?"

Zhao Xue's face turned pale and she pursed her lips. For a moment, she, who was very good at dealing with people, didn't know what to say.

Finally, she could only say helplessly: "But after all, it wasn't photographed, right? Your career has never been affected, and you still have Mr. Lu behind you."

"Just because I have Mr. Lu behind me, does that mean I deserve to be framed and not be able to fight back?" Chu Xiu sneered.

Hearing this, Gu Rou couldn't sit still. She stood up, walked to the bedside, knelt down with a plop, and cried, "Chu Xiu, I really know I was wrong. Please let me go this time. Please, I will never dare to do it again!"

Chu Xiu frowned. She didn't expect Gu Rou to use this trick. Could it be that Zhao Xue taught her this?

"Are you forcing me?" Chu Xiu said to Gu Rou.

Gu Rou shook her head, "As long as you can let me go, I'm willing to kowtow to you." She was able to climb to her current position after countless hard work, and she couldn't lose it, so she was willing to do anything, no matter how dignified it was.

"Get up, you're kneeling so close to me, it will only make me angrier." Chu Xiu said, "Stay away from me and sit on the sofa."

After hearing her say this, Gu Rou stood up reluctantly and walked back to the sofa and sat down.

After she knelt down, Zhao Xue didn't say anything. She must have tacitly agreed to Gu Rou's action and thought it was effective.

Chu Xiu rubbed his forehead and said, "It's not impossible for me to go to Mr. Lu to plead for mercy, but I also have conditions."

As soon as she said this, Zhao Xue and Gu Rou stared at her with shining eyes at the same time, "What conditions?"

"I want to terminate the agency contract. Sister Zhao, you are also one of the shareholders of the company. You should be able to convince the company not to embarrass me and terminate the contract with me peacefully. Also, the company cannot take my commission for the movie I am currently filming."

Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "I can convince the company not to make things difficult for you, but you accepted this role within the contract period, and the company has the right to take it."

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Sister Zhao, have you forgotten that I am not begging you now, but negotiating with you. As long as you can meet my requirements, I am willing to go to Mr. Lu to plead for mercy."

Zhao Xue didn't reply for a while, probably because he felt that the situation was very tricky.

But Gu Rou beside her grabbed her hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Zhao, please help me, please help me, I have finally become famous, you can't bear to see me ruined, right!"

Zhao Xue gritted her teeth and said to Chu Xiu, "Okay, I'll talk to the company, and you have to keep your promise."

Chu Xiu smiled and said, "It's a deal."

After Zhao Xue took Gu Rou away, Chu Xiu still sat there in a daze for a while.

When Ran Ran came in, she saw her like this and felt uncomfortable. Her chubby face wrinkled into a ball. "Sister, did Sister Zhao say something unpleasant to you and make you uncomfortable?"

Chu Xiu looked up at her, curled her lips, and said, "Ran Ran, if I terminate my contract with the company, will you still follow me?"

Ran Ran was startled, then nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister, don't leave me, I will go wherever you go!"

Chu Xiu smiled happily and said, "Okay."

After thinking for a while, she picked up her phone and called Lu Yuanzhou. While waiting for the call to be connected, Chu Xiu suddenly realized that Lu Yuanzhou was the only person in the world who was willing to help her and support her.

When she heard his pleasant voice, Chu Xiu couldn't help but soften her voice and said, "Mr. Lu, I want to ask you a favor."

Lu Yuanzhou rarely heard her speak in this tone, and was a little surprised. He asked her, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Chu Xiu said, "I am going to terminate my contract with the agency. Sister Zhao agreed to let me talk to the company on the condition that you let Gu Rou go."

Lu Yuanzhou laughed softly, "What conditions did you negotiate with her?"

Chu Xiu's ears turned red, "Yeah."

"Then these are the conditions you negotiated with her. Does they have anything to do with me?" Lu Yuanzhou deliberately made things difficult for her.

Chu Xiu: ...

Lu Yuanzhou added: "You also have to negotiate the terms with me."

Chu Xiu glared at him and decided not to beat around the bush. She said, "Do you think this condition of me sleeping with you is good enough?"

Mainland China: …

Chu Xiu innocently continued, "Is it enough?"

Happiness came too suddenly, and it took Lu Yuanzhou a long time to recover. When he finally came to his senses, he said excitedly: "That's enough!"

Chu Xiu: ...

Lu Yuanzhou: "When can you come back?"

Chu Xiu: "It will take another two months to finish filming."

Lu Yuanzhou asked again: "What about the Spring Festival? No holiday?"

Chu Xiu hesitated for a moment and said, "It will only take two or three days."

"Then come back." he said.

"No." Chu Xiu felt a little embarrassed. She had just agreed to sleep together, but now he was urging her to go back. His purpose was too obvious.

Lu Yuanzhou said without question: "I have to come back. My parents are coming back from Europe in the next two days and they want to meet their daughter-in-law."

Chu Xiu: ...

The author has something to say: It’s really not easy, we have to sleep together.
