When Ran Ran came from South City, she brought two newly made evening dresses for Chu Xiu. They were not branded, but the fabrics and styles were very good. In the past, Chu Xiu would just pick one at random to wear to the banquet.

But after being criticized for being frivolous by Lu Yuanzhou in person, Chu Xiu became more serious about evening dresses.

One is backless, the other is waist-baring. I don't know which part of the body Lu Yuanzhou would accept. After all, she is his female companion, so I have to consider his feelings.

Chu Xiu frowned and guessed for a long time, and finally thought: Instead of guessing here, it is better to ask the person directly.

So she picked up her phone and sent a WeChat message to Lu Yuanzhou.

Chu Xiu asked him: If you wear an evening gown, which part of your body do you think is within your tolerance range?

After a while, Lu Yuanzhou replied: Face.

Chu Xiu had a big question mark on her forehead, wondering if he was serious about his answer? Did he mean that only the face could be shown, and nothing below the neck could be shown?

She patiently took pictures of the two skirts and sent them to him, "Choose one of the two. You choose."

Lu Yuanzhou simply sent her a voice message, which became even deeper and hoarser after being processed by software. "Don't choose any of them. They are neither fish nor fowl. Wearing a nightgown would be better than this."

Chu Xiu: ...

Chu Xiu threatened: "Then I'll wear a nightgown!"

Lu Yuanzhou was even more ruthless than her: "You can still wrap a towel around your head."

Chu Xiu: ...

The topic has been talked to death for the Nth time.

Chu Xiu threw the phone onto the bed and fell onto the quilt, feeling terrible.

Ran Ran asked quietly, "Sister, which one will Mr. Lu choose?"

Chu Xiu buried her face in the pillow and said in a low voice, "He chose a nightgown..."

Ran Ran: …

The next day, the crew entered the studio to shoot. Although it was still cold, the temperature in the studio was much more comfortable than freezing in the wild. The actors no longer shivered after taking off their coats.

During the break, He Yihuan pulled Chu Xiu to warm herself in front of the heater, and they talked about the auction banquet. He Yihuan already knew that Lu Yuanzhou would attend the banquet and asked Chu Xiu to be his female companion. She didn't say anything, but she still looked a little embarrassed.

It is well known in the business circle that Lu Yuanzhou and Qin Zhige have always disliked each other.

One is the Nth generation of a wealthy family with a history of hundreds of years, and the other is the only successor to a real estate tycoon. Both of them are powerful and influential. They usually don't see each other, but they have to exclude each other when they meet.

As the female companions of these two men, Chu Xiu and He Yihuan were in a very delicate situation. It was fine when they had no relationship before, but now that they had become good friends, it was inevitably a bit awkward when talking about the male companions.

Chu Xiu changed the subject of the man and talked about the evening dress in a roundabout way, "Ran Ran brought two sets, but I was not satisfied with either one. I was worried."

In fact, it was the villain Lu who was dissatisfied, but she herself thought it was pretty good.

He Yihuan looked at her figure and said, "I think our figures are similar. Why don't you go to my place and try on a set? Qin Zhige asked someone to send over a few high-end suits. I'll lend you one."

Chu Xiu said: "That's not good, it's a gift from Mr. Qin."

He Yihuan said with a smile: "I'm not giving it to you as a gift, I'm just lending it to you to wear once."

Even so, as artists all know, evening gowns are basically put aside after being worn once, so lending them out is like giving them away.

Chu Xiu suddenly remembered that there was such a plot in the novel, which talked about attending the banquet.

"He Yihuan was wearing the high-end evening gown and brand-name jewelry Qin Zhige had given her. She was glamorous and attractive. As soon as she appeared on the stage, she became the focus of everyone's attention, and envy and praise came pouring in.

Chu Xiu was standing in the crowd, staring at He Yihuan with an unpleasant expression, with obvious jealousy in her eyes.

She was jealous of He Yihuan because she was prettier and luckier than her, and had a handsome and wealthy man by her side to support her, so she lived like a queen.

Unlike her, she couldn't climb to the top no matter how hard she tried, and she tried hard to get closer to the mainland, but in the end she only got an agreement.

Whenever she made such a comparison, Chu Xiu could think of a thousand ways to torture He Yihuan. She wanted to pull He Yihuan off the dazzling stage and then trample her hard into the mud..."

This is the correct way to open the female supporting role in the book.

However, He Yihuan, who was supposed to be at odds with the female supporting character, now politely offered to lend her clothes and even let her choose the styles first.

Chu Xiu found it funny when she thought about it. It really is true that life is like a play and a play is like life.

But now Chu Xiu no longer has any jealousy in her heart. She has already died once, so she can let go of many things, such as fame and fortune. These illusory things, like the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, cannot be brought with you when you are born and cannot be taken with you when you die. There is really no need to take them too seriously. It is good enough to live a healthy and comfortable life.

Before she traveled through time, she was a successful actress in the entertainment industry. She had endless dramas to shoot and scripts to read every day. She spent the whole year on set or in shows. In the end, she fainted from overwork and was diagnosed with cancer, but she didn't last long. She passed away in the blink of an eye. And who got the huge fortune she earned with her youth and sweat after her death? No one knows.

After traveling through time and space to become the present Chu Xiu, her mentality is already very different from before.

Chu Xiu finally rejected He Yihuan's kindness. After all, those expensive evening gowns were Qin Zhige's gifts to He Yihuan. As an outsider, she should be self-aware.

As for the evening dress issue, you still have to find other ways to solve it. If that doesn't work, just go to any brand store and buy a more formal skirt.

At noon, Chu Xiu and He Yihuan's scenes were filmed until 1 o'clock before the director called for a break. The two were so hungry that they didn't care about their image and just sat in front of the heater with their lunch boxes to eat.

"Don't you have any scenes this afternoon? That's great." After taking a few bites of food, He Yihuan finally found the strength to speak. As the leading actress, she had scenes to shoot all day.

Chu Xiu nodded, picked up a piece of sweet and sour spareribs with her hand and chewed it seriously.

Ran Ran, who had been wandering around for a long time, suddenly ran in from outside the shed and excitedly shouted to Chu Xiu, "Sister, go and have a look."

Chu Xiu calmly continued to chew the ribs, "What are you looking at?"

"The manager of the brand store has brought a few people with him, and they have the latest season's dresses, bags and shoes, and they said they want to pick them for you!" Ran Ran said in one breath and swallowed hard. She ran too fast and her mouth was dry.

With a "thump", the half-eaten spareribs fell back into the bowl. Chu Xiu frowned and looked at her sideways, "Are you sleepwalking? What are you talking about in your sleep?"

He Yihuan standing next to her also looked at Ran Ran with a gossipy look on his face.

Although I have heard that brand stores offer door-to-door service, they usually deliver the products to the homes of wealthy families, and I have never heard of them being delivered to film crews.

Seeing that neither of them believed it, and the crowd of onlookers nearby also looked like they were watching the excitement, Ran Ran stamped her feet, reached out to pull Chu Xiu's wrist, and said, "You'll know if you follow me. Their car is waiting outside!"

Seeing her genuine expression, Chu Xiu said nothing more and stood up to follow Ran Ran.

He Yihuan also put down his lunch box and ran after them, "Is it outside? I'll go check it out too."

As Chu Xiu walked out, she recalled the discussion about dresses with Lu Yuanzhou last night. She had an idea in her mind, so she asked Ran Ran, "Did anyone tell her who asked them to come?"

Ran Ran glanced at He Yihuan beside her, then whispered in Chu Xiu's ear: "The store manager said that it was Mr. Lu who asked them to come."

Chu Xiu nodded and found it funny in her heart. This man was really hypocritical. Last night he clearly told her to just wear pajamas, but today he actually let a big brand come directly to her house to provide services. He was really extravagant.

He Yihuan only knew that she was having an affair with Lu Yuanzhou, so she deliberately stretched out her tone to tease her, saying: "Oh~~~ Mr. Lu, do you have to be so doting? You have to send an evening dress to your door for you to choose!"

Chu Xiu smiled and ignored her teasing.

As they were talking, the three of them had walked to the main road outside the studio, where a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle was parked quietly.

Chu Xiu went forward to confirm with the other party and called Lu Yuanzhou, but the call didn't go through. She then dialed Assistant Du's number. Only after Assistant Du said that this was true did she feel relieved.

Since the evening gown was already delivered to her, Chu Xiu would not refuse it. She had no scenes in the afternoon, so she arranged for Ran Ran to take them back to the hotel first, while she took off her makeup and changed out of her costume before rushing back.

Hearing that a big brand offered her door-to-door service, the other crew members came to ask about the gossip, but Chu Xiu just smiled and didn't explain. Everyone went to ask He Yihuan again, but she was even more tight-lipped and didn't know anything.

After returning to the hotel, she tried on dresses, shoes and makeup. After more than two hours of busy work, Chu Xiu finally decided on two dresses, as well as matching handbags and shoes.

"Mr. Lu has instructed Miss Chu to pick whatever she likes. Would two sets be too few? Would she like to look at other options?" The store manager confirmed with Chu Xiu again and again.

Chu Xiu decisively refused and said, "That's enough. Please take the rest back with you."

The store manager nodded with some regret and didn't persuade him any further.

After the group of people left, Chu Xiu found an angle with bright light, asked Ran Ran to take a picture of her, and then she picked a picture she was satisfied with and sent it to Lu Yuanzhou.

In the photo, she is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with her back against the clear blue sky and white clouds, her face smiling brightly.

"Thank you Mr. Lu for your generosity and help in my time of need by funding two evening gowns for me. Am I beautiful?"

After waiting for a while, without receiving a reply from Lu Yuanzhou, Chu Xiu took off her dress and folded it carefully.

"Sister, there are so many things, it must cost hundreds of thousands, right?" Ran Ran studied the two purses with starry eyes.

Chu Xiu changed into her home clothes, picked up one of the handbags, shook her head and said, "This is a limited edition, a series, there are only ten in the world."

These things are a luxury for ordinary people, but for wealthy families like Lu Yuanzhou, they are probably not even worth mentioning.

Ran Ran was stunned. She stared at the purse, rubbed her hands on her body and said, "Can I touch it?" She looked so pious, just short of burning another stick of incense.

It was not until after dinner that Lu Yuanzhou's message finally arrived. After she asked "Am I beautiful?", he replied "The skirt is beautiful."

This guy really deserves a beating.

But Chu Xiu had just received a favor from the other party, so it was not easy to get angry. In the end, she still sent a message of thanks, saying, "I am really sorry to have made Mr. Lu spend money today."

Lu Yuanzhou replied: "Don't be embarrassed. Today's expenses have been recorded in the account book. If you don't perform well in the future, I will ask you for money."

Chu Xiu: ...

This is too realistic, are all businessmen in the world so cunning? !
