Brother Zhang laughed out loud: "It doesn't matter! Anyway, you behaved very well today, and the effect was beyond my expectation. I promise, you will definitely gain a new wave of fans after this variety show is broadcast."

He kept his voice low, after all, the other people in the crew were still removing their makeup in the lounge.

Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh: "Yeah! Thank you Brother Zhang for your guidance!"

He had been thinking a lot these days. In the original novel, he was a troublemaker and died quickly and miserably. Now that he had the good fortune to know the future, of course he wanted to change his tragic ending.

The most important thing is to avoid Bai Ziwei's protagonist halo and not to provoke or bully him casually.

The old man cannot be snatched away, and the family property cannot be fought for. Shen Ci is prepared to stay away from Bai Ziwei's interests and just be a little vase to make a living in the entertainment industry!

Brother Zhang is indeed a senior professional. Shen Ci immediately felt the benefits after hearing his words. If he obeyed the arrangements in the future, at least he would have no problem making a living in the circle.

Why in the book was he so stupid as to not take Brother Zhang and the company seriously?

Shen Ci sat down obediently and let the Roasted Sweet Potato Sister who had just done his hairstyle help him remove his makeup.

"Oh, by the way." Brother Zhang patted Shen Ci's shoulder gently: "Why do I feel that Mr. Shao's eyes are not right when he looks at you?"

Brother Zhang pursed his lips and pointed to Shao Jinhuan's location to Shen Ci.

Shen Ci looked over in confusion and happened to meet Shao Jinhuan's eyes.

Shao Jinhuan was removing his makeup, his face showing his usual indifference, as if he was listening to what his agent was saying.

Shen Ci didn't react and just blinked blankly. Shao Jinhuan's eyes flickered, and he turned away and closed his eyes to rest.

Perhaps it was because Shao Jinhuan's appearance was messy now, this dodge looked a bit wolfish.

Shen Ci looked at Brother Zhang again: "I don't understand, what's wrong?"

Brother Zhang stroked his stubble, stared at Shao Jinhuan and said, "I don't really understand. It feels like he always ignored you before, but now it feels like... he's always paying special attention to you. What did you do to him?"

Shen Ci: "I didn't do anything. I just called him 'Brother Shao' when we met just now, and then I thought he was a little funny during the recording, but I promise I didn't laugh out loud!"

Brother Zhang looked as if he had seen a ghost: "What? You called him 'Brother Shao'? Didn't you always call him 'Brother Huan'? Oh, I got goosebumps all over the floor when I called him that. Professor, please tell me how you can call him that so naturally?"

After saying this, he shuddered all over as if he couldn't bear it anymore.

Shen Ci realized that he was being laughed at again. He snorted and followed Shao Jinhuan's example, closing his eyes and resting his mind, refusing to answer Brother Zhang's question.

Brother Zhang was not annoyed and went to handle his business with a smile.

Perhaps he was too tired from laughing, and in a daze, Shen Ci actually fell asleep.

When he opened his eyes again, there were not many people left in the lounge.

"Little ancestor, are you awake?" Brother Zhang came over and said, "Hurry up and put on your coat and scarf. We have to leave quickly. Others are already on their way."

Looking at Shen Ci's increasingly confused face, Brother Zhang sighed and said, "Little Shen, you are so confused. The producer is inviting the crew to dinner tonight, hurry up."

Shen Ci suddenly realized what was going on, stood up and stretched his body.

“Oh, by the way, I have something to do later, so I can’t accompany you.” Brother Zhang added.

Shen Ci was stunned: "Ah? Then how do I get there?"

Brother Zhang looked mysterious and said, "You will have someone to pick you up."

Shen Ci: “???”

***

It was not until Shen Ci, wrapped like a bun, followed Brother Zhang downstairs that he knew who the "special person" he was talking about was.

The black luxury car in front of me rolled down its window, revealing a familiar handsome face.

"No, good evening, Mr. Lu!" Shen Ci reacted immediately and greeted him excitedly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lu." Brother Zhang said with a smile.

Lu Xiao smiled gently: "Please bring Xiaoci with you. It's cold outside, Xiaoci, let's talk in the car."

Shen Ci was overjoyed. After saying goodbye to Brother Zhang, he quickly opened the door, got in and sat in the passenger seat.

"I haven't seen my uncle for a long time! He's still so handsome! I miss you so much!" Shen Ci started to flatter him as soon as he sat down, and was very happy.

He was speaking from his heart. The dreams he had had these past few days had made him panic, but he didn't dare to tell anyone else. Shen Ci could only keep it to himself and torture himself.

Every night before going to bed, Shen Ci would be particularly terrified. But if he went to his parents or older brother and told them that he wanted to sleep with them for a sense of security, he would definitely be laughed at and called himself a brat.

But Lu Xiao was different. He always looked calm and gentle, and never laughed at Shen Ci's occasional naivety.

If it weren't for the recent rush of announcements, Shen Ci would have gone to live with his uncle a long time ago.

Lu Xiao's ending in the original novel was also very tragic, and Shen Ci felt that it was all his fault.

Shen Ci was not capable of carrying out many of the actions that were intended to harm Bai Ziwei, so he went to his uncle for help.

No matter how unreasonable the request is, Lu Xiao will help him unconditionally, and may even go further, thereby offending all of Bai Ziwei's big friends and becoming a target of criticism like Shen Ci.

Lu Xiao became the villain of the whole book. Of course, he did not have a good ending when he went against the destined protagonist. In the end, the entire Yunxiao Group's industry was severely damaged and fell into the clouds, unable to recover.

After Shen Ci disappeared in the original novel, he was never seen again.

Shen Ci didn't want Lu Xiao in front of him to repeat the same mistake.

Although he called him uncle, in fact Lu Xiao was just a close friend of Shen Ci's grandfather regardless of age difference, so Shen Ci had affectionately called him uncle since he was a child.

But... Shen Ci still thinks he is closer to him than his own father! Who made him treat him so well?

Lu Xiao was obviously pleased with Shen Ci's flattery, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

After starting the car, Lu Xiao glanced at the excited Shen Ci and realized that the child had forgotten to fasten his seat belt.

He simply leaned over and reached out to grab the seatbelt at Shen Ci's right ear. His warm hand accidentally brushed against Shen Ci's cold earlobe, and Shen Ci seemed to be held in his arms.

The two people's breathing suddenly crossed, and Shen Ci was caught off guard by being so close. He subconsciously held his breath and his whole body tensed up.

Lu Xiao didn't seem to notice the ambiguous distance and posture between the two people. He calmly pulled down the seat belt and helped Shen Ci put it on.

"Is Gao Xing stupid?" Lu Xiao said leisurely when he saw Shen Ci's dazed look.

Shen Ci stammered, trying his best to calm his suddenly fast heartbeat, and said, "Uh... yeah, a little bit."

He touched his nose feeling a little embarrassed, his own reaction was so puzzling.

Lu Xiao just came a little closer, why was he blushing so much?

"What's wrong?" Lu Xiao glanced at him.

Shen Ci suddenly felt even more embarrassed and quickly looked at Lu Xiao and shook his head.

Lu Xiao is of mixed blood, with deep eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and clear and tough facial lines, perfect like a Greek god. When he drives with his eyes focused on the front, his eyebrows are slightly wrinkled, and the dark pupils under his long eyelashes are reflected in the bright lights in the distance, which is extremely sexy.

Shen Ci sighed in his heart again, so damn handsome.

Lu Xiao noticed the child's gaze, and his smile deepened: "Tell me. Don't try to fool me."

My uncle is good in every way except that he is too stubborn. Shen Ci simply started making up stories: "I was thinking, this time, it was thanks to my uncle's support that I was able to play a small supporting role in "Don't Say Goodbye". I hope I can become very popular this time, so that I can stop relying on the company and let resources come to me!"

Lu Xiao looked at him deeply, then said "hmm" faintly with a smile on his face, and then he didn't say anything else.

***

There was silence between the two, but the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.

The TV building where the variety show was filmed was only a ten-minute drive from the agreed hotel, and the two arrived quickly.

After handing the car over to the parking staff, it was easy to enter the hotel gate. This hotel is Lu Xiao's property, and Shen Ci often comes here with his uncle to play.

As for why Lu Xiao came to this dinner with him...of course it was because the producer of "No Goodbye" was actually Lu Xiao.

Yunxiao Entertainment spent a lot of money to shoot "Never Say Goodbye" and specially invited film emperor Shao Jinhuan to play the leading role in order to promote its newcomers Shen Ci and Bai Ziwei.

The waiter helped open the door of the private room. When Shen Ci walked in, the people in the room just greeted him with a laugh.

When Lu Xiao followed in, everyone immediately stood up with serious and nervous expressions: "Boss Lu! Good evening!"

Shen Ci: “…”

***

"Shen Ci came with President Lu, right? Even if he is an artist from the company, he is too..."

"Come on, stop talking nonsense. President Lu is keeping himself clean and concentrating on his career!"

"I heard that Mr. Lu is still single at this age because he is not very good at that..."

"Tsk - don't say it if everyone knows it. What a pity! But I'm willing to marry him even if it's the case!"

"Don't dream, hahahaha, what is an ordinary girl with no power and influence thinking about!"

As the glasses were being toasted, a few gossiping staff members looked at Lu Xiao who was far away from them and started gossiping in low voices.

As the head of the Lu family, Lu Xiao is young, promising and wealthy. He is a top-notch CEO and has even formed a large fan club. He is more popular than some first-tier stars.

No one would have thought that one day they would have the honor of sharing a table with this legendary figure who lives in magazines and on television.

Of course Lu Xiao was unaware of other people's irrelevant comments about his itchiness. He was listening to the director's compliments and threatening Shen Ci with his eyes to eat the spinach on his plate.

Shen Ci pushed the spinach aside calmly and continued to eat the fish and meat.

"Xiao Ci, why don't you eat your vegetables? Eating more is good for your health." Bai Ziwei saw Shen Ci putting away the spinach that he had just given him, and said tenderly and considerately.

Shen Ci: “…”

He now really wants to speak evil words like the young master: It’s none of your business.

But Shen Xun didn't dare. He dared to confront Lu Xiao who doted on him, but he didn't dare to provoke the destined male protagonist Bai Ziwei...

So Shen Ci picked up the spinach and ate it with tears in his eyes. At the end, he gave Bai Ziwei a grateful smile that was uglier than crying: "Thank you, Brother Bai, for your concern!"

At the dinner table, people will inevitably flatter each other and even curry favor with each other, and they will also inevitably exchange cups.

The assistant director was a networking person and toasted almost everyone, even Shen Ci.

Shen Ci picked up the full wine glass and took a sip. Immediately, his entire throat was filled with the taste of alcohol, which was extremely disgusting.

The alcohol content of this liquor is too high. It tastes terrible.

Just now he saw Lu Xiao finish a full glass of wine without changing his expression. Is this the world of the strong...

Lu Xiao looked at Shen Ci with a smile on his face. He thought that he had made enough fun of him and wanted to ask him to stop drinking.

But someone got there first.

"Xiaoci is too young. Drinking alcohol will do great harm to his body. How about this, I drink for him, okay?"
