Chapter 71
Chapter 71
"...Thank you, brother. Is this too much trouble for you?"
The expression on Ruan Luo's face was stiff, but the voice that came out was still soft.
He wanted to reject these fitness coaches with all his heart, but unfortunately Xie Pingyuan on the opposite side seemed not to understand what they were saying and continued to speak in a doting tone.
"No, don't worry, your physical trainer will definitely show up at your cousin's door tomorrow morning. You are working with Wen Li this time. His bad temper is known throughout the entertainment industry. It will be good for you to train more."
Ruan Luo listened to Xie Pingyuan's usual doting words. He was rarely not happy and gritted his teeth. He didn't know what was wrong with Xie Pingyuan. Why couldn't he hear any hidden meaning in his words today?
In the novel, this man dotes on his body to the utmost, asking for the stars and not the moon, so what? When it comes to him, he can't even refuse a few fitness coaches?
Yes, Ruan Luo is a person who traveled through the book.
He was originally just an ordinary Number Zero who liked to read some exciting novels. Unexpectedly, he traveled into a book and became the protagonist of the book.
A boy who has been spoiled by everyone since childhood. Although he was already 18 years old when he traveled through time, the love that the Ruan brothers showed him has not stopped and is even getting stronger.
If Ruan Luo didn't have some bottom line, he would have already thought of taking action against those handsome brothers.
Although he did not attack his brother, the protagonist in the article did attack him.
Xie Pingyuan, after being reborn, fights for the family property while pampering his protagonist. Ruan Luo will naturally not be like the original protagonist, wavering between Xie Pingyuan and Xie Yuan, resulting in harm to both of them.
This also resulted in Xie Yuanzhi's death becoming a thorn between the two of them, and it took hundreds of chapters of physical and mental torture before the story finally ended.
So from the beginning Ruan Luo’s target was quite clear, which was Xie Pingyuan.
——However, this does not prevent Ruan Luo from using his current weak and helpless appearance as a beautiful boy to get others to help him.
And it seems to be the time-traveling welfare Ruan Luo, this trick is almost invincible.
He also used this trick to win over a large number of die-hard fans, and repeatedly slapping fans in the face and abusing them made these die-hard fans even more loyal.
Who would have thought that this trick would fail this time.
But things have already been decided. Ruan Luo didn't want to ruin his image in Xie Pingyuan's eyes for the time being, so he had to grit his teeth and accept these physical trainers first.
"After the physical trainers arrive, I will have the final say on whether to train or not, right?"
Ruan Luo thought to himself.
The voice was still soft as before as he spoke to Xie Pingyuan, chatting about the people and things he encountered at his cousin's house.
"…So Gao Wenjun is so unfaithful?"
After hearing about Gao Wenjun's romantic history, Xie Pingyuan frowned and sent a message to his assistant, asking him to find some information about Gao Wenjun.
'I hope he's not a homosexual.'
Xie Pingyuan thought with dark eyes.
Ruan Luo's still soft voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Yeah, I didn't expect my cousin to fall in love with such a man. Although he has developed rapidly recently, I just arrived in City B and I know that this guy has countless lovers. He even brought a little lover with him to the banquet today."
Ruan Luo's soft voice on the other end of the phone was full of depression, a good brother who was perfectly worried about his sister.
When Xie Pingyuan heard that Ruan Luo didn't seem to have any good feelings towards Gao Wenjun, he felt a little relieved and agreed without hesitation.
"Ruan Ruan is right. We should not keep such a philandering man. But how did your cousin fall in love with him? Where is your uncle?"
Xie Pingyuan recalled Ruan Luo. The uncle he had talked to him about a few days ago seemed a little strange. He remembered that the uncle Ruan Luo mentioned loved his sister quite a lot.
"Uncle can't do anything. My cousin fell in love with Gao Wenjun and was so angry that she even said that if she gave her body to him, she would be his. My cousin was furious. If Gao Wenjun hadn't been polite to him and helped my cousin in business, I'm afraid my uncle would never agree to this marriage."
Ruan Luo emphasized this point: "Uncle loves my cousin the most, why would he marry her to such a playboy?"
Xie Pingyuan helped Ruan Luo to curse a few words, then saw the assistant send the information about Gao Wenjun over. After saving the file, he continued chatting with Ruan Luo.
After Ruan Luo portrayed himself as a good brother in front of Xie Pingyuan, he also began to care about Xie Pingyuan's recent situation.
How is your work going recently? Are you tired? Take care of yourself, because you will never be done with work.
When these clichés were spoken in Ruan Luo's soft tone, they were full of concern, making Xie Pingyuan feel as if he was soaking in a hot spring, with warmth all over his body.
"...I saw Xie Yuanzhi on Country A's TV last time. He seemed to be attending some interview. By the way, has the reporter who interviewed you released the video?"
Ruan Luo mentioned Xie Yuanzhi briefly and then changed the topic to another direction, but these words still left a mark in Xie Pingyuan's heart.
After finally finishing the chat and saying good night to Ruan Luo, Xie Pingyuan started searching for news about Xie Yuanzhi on the search engine with a gloomy face.
Compared with Xie Pingyuan, who made his fortune by manipulating financial investments in movies, Xie Yuanzhi has been much more low-key in recent years.
Apart from Taoduoduo's annual meeting, most of the time Xie Yuanzhi can only be seen in financial reports.
During this period of time, the person who appeared more in front of everyone was Xie Yuanzhi’s junior brother, the talented young man Shen Nanye.
However, the online comments about Xie Yuanzhi tend to be positive.
After all, the previous farce in court made netizens realize that Xie Yuanzhi was wronged. In addition, although Taoduoduo sometimes made them grit their teeth, the more and lower prices still made them happy.
Moreover, the fact that Xie Yuanzhi does not jump around in public is one of the reasons why he has attracted the favor of netizens. They feel that Xie Yuanzhi's current style of doing things is the same as that of the old money aristocrats in the past.
"As expected of the heir of the Xie family, who has been orthodoxly trained since childhood. He is low-key and does not show off his wealth. Facts have proved that bloodline is bullshit, and education is the real inheritance!"
This blog post earned the blogger more than 100,000 likes. Although he clicked on it and saw many people refuting it, Xie Pingyuan was still so angry that he clenched his fists.
"What the blogger said is wrong. Xie Pingyuan is a god of investment and every movie he invests in is a hit."
"Xie Pingyuan's talent in finance is probably something that Xie Yuanzhi can't even catch up with."
These two comments spoke for Xie Pingyuan, but the blogger refuted them mercilessly.
"Although financial investment can still make money, and some of it can be long-lasting, the last man who was called the God of Investment went bankrupt, and the man before that and the man before that went bankrupt, too."
"Speculators can only enjoy the glory for a while, but Xie Yuanzhi is different. Although Taoduoduo took some risks at the beginning, it has always taken a steady and cautious route. Moreover, he is said to have invested in factories in Africa. I don't need to say much about the labor costs in Africa. With a large number of cheap goods, small profits and quick turnover, as long as the poor are not extinct, Xie Yuanzhi's Taoduoduo will survive."
The reasons put forward by the blogger were quite convincing, but there were still other people who refuted them. In the end, the blogger directly revealed his trump card.
"... Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just talk about the Xie family's business. Those who like the speculator Xie Pingyuan must have made a lot of money following him. So now I have a question for you."
"If the Xie family's assets were handed over to a speculator like Xie Pingyuan, who was messing around in the financial market, would you be willing to buy Ganxing's stocks?"
The blogger's trump card is simply unsolvable, especially since country A has just invested welfare funds in the stock and securities market, resulting in a sharp drop in welfare funds.
The new president was simply grinning from ear to ear, using this incident to promote his own political ideas and criticize the people left behind by the previous president for all the bad things they had done.
For ordinary people, even if they pay attention to politics, they have no way to change the outcome, but a chairman who invests corporate assets in stocks everywhere...
Seeing this, Xie Pingyuan's nails dug deeply into his palms and his teeth made a clicking sound. He never thought that he would be such a person in the eyes of those netizens outside.
An untrustworthy speculator.
Every time he saw those viewers urging him to invest under his blog posts, he thought he was very popular, but he didn't expect that he would be like this.
But Xie Pingyuan thought about it and realized that speculators and ordinary audiences are two different things. Ordinary audiences only need to contribute a movie ticket, but speculators often need to contribute their entire fortune.
Xie Pingyuan took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm the anger in his heart.
This is also the lesson he learned in the past two years. Never let anger cloud your mind, otherwise you are likely to do something irreparable.
This is what he learned from Xie Yuanzhi in his previous life.
After calming down, Xie Pingyuan touched his chin and felt that he needed to adjust his strategy.
He wanted to come back to inherit the Xie family, not to be angry with Xie Yuanzhi and only care about his own happiness.
Those stocks and movies he bought using his ability to predict the future can be put on hold for now.
He needed to use the money he earned in the film and television industry and the financial circle to buy some real estate.
Xie Pingyuan recalled the national policies of the past two years and the situation in his previous life, and gradually thought of a project that has not yet been developed.
——New energy.
Recalling Mr. Xie's glory in his previous life, Xie Pingyuan's eyes burned with ambition.
But now Ruan Luo’s matter is more important.
Xie Pingyuan thought about urging his assistant to find a few physical trainers again.
“Money is not an issue.”
After hearing his boss's domineering words, the assistant was so upset that he almost burst into tears.
Boss, this is not just about money. You have to wake someone up in the middle of the night just to show up at their doorstep the next morning...
——You are the one who gave the order, and I am the one who was scolded!
*
With the assistant's tears and efforts, the two fitness coaches showed up at Ling Wei's door on time the next morning.
Ling Wei was a little confused at first. Who could it be that rang the doorbell so early? After asking the nanny to open the door, Ling Wei almost thought that the two people had walked into the wrong door.
Fortunately, in order to maintain his image in front of Xie Pingyuan, Ruan Luo gritted his teeth and walked away, and happened to meet two physical trainers and Ling Wei.
"I'm sorry, cousin. I told Brother Pingyuan about this last night. Brother Pingyuan was a little worried about me, so he hired two physical trainers for me. Brother Pingyuan also had good intentions... I think my brother-in-law won't be angry."
Ruan Luo whispered the second half of the sentence into Ling Wei's ear.
Ling Wei knew Gao Wenjun a little bit. Gao Wenjun would not take such issues to heart at all. She patted Ruan Luo on the back and said.
"It's okay. Your brother-in-law is not such a petty person. But now you have four physical trainers to help you train. They will definitely help you increase your physical strength in a short period of time and help you get through the variety show."
When Ruan Luo heard the original smile on the screen, he froze for a moment.
Just when Ruan Luo was thinking about how to escape this physical training, Gao Wenjun also learned that Xie Pingyuan had hired two physical coaches for Ruan Luo and sent them to his doorstep early in the morning.
Gao Wenjun was now even more certain that Xie Pingyuan definitely coveted his little cousin.
If this was a matter of brotherhood, he and his brothers would have eaten Xie Pingyuan alive.
Anyway, he and Lao Zhang never act like this.
Gao Wenjun shook off the goose bumps on his body, thinking about how to help his little cousin avoid Xie Pingyuan, but he didn't expect that Ling Wei would call him just one day later.
"Wenjun, let's put the matter of the physical trainer aside for now. Ruan Ruan has only been training for one day, and her body is covered with bruises at night. She looks like she was beaten. Although no one said anything, she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because of the pain and was crying."
Ling Wei's distressed voice came from the other end of the phone, which made Gao Wenjun a little unbelievable. The little cousin with bruises all over his body could cry like this. When he was practicing martial arts, not to mention bruises, broken hands and feet were normal.
Ling Wei wasn't much better when she was practicing martial arts herself, so why did she feel so distressed when it came to her little cousin?
"...My little cousin is just an ordinary person. I'm afraid he won't have much interaction with us in his life."
Ling Wei said distressedly.
It's not like their family doesn't protect their little cousin, so why do they have to train the child?
Gao Wenjun suddenly understood why there is a saying that a loving mother often spoils her child. After just a short period of training, the child was only covered in bruises, and his hands and feet were not broken, but Ling Wei was so distressed. If they had a child in the future, Ling Wei would be heartbroken.
However, the little cousin's problem was indeed serious. After all, he was not his child, and he could not be trained to death. Gao Wenjun had no choice but to nod and withdraw the two physical trainers.
After hanging up the phone, Ling Wei looked at Ruan Luo, who was lying on the bed beside her and couldn't sleep due to the pain, and said gently: "Okay, your brother-in-law and your brother Pingyuan have agreed to withdraw the physical trainer. You have the same physique, but you still insist on training."
"Sister, I'm just afraid that appearing on a variety show will hold everyone back."
Ruan Luo looked pitiful and said this, which made Ling Wei touch Ruan Luo's head distressed and said, "Our Ruan Ruan is just too kind. Don't worry, Xie Pingyuan just sent me a message and told the director that he will definitely not embarrass you."
As Ling Wei spoke, she turned her phone to the chat interface and showed Ruan Luo the screenshot that Xie Pingyuan sent her.
Ruan Luo felt slightly relieved when he saw the director patting his chest and assuring that no one would bully him.
But after reading the director's words, Ruan Luo always felt a little uneasy.
“It’s an illusion…”
"Hmm! That was definitely not an illusion."
Ruan Luo was just getting off the car when he received the notification that this episode would be broadcast live. The smile on his face froze for a moment.
If he hadn't reacted in time, he might have failed on the spot.
"Director Wang, is this what you meant by no one will bully me during this whole process?"
*
He couldn't help but turn his face to the director next to him. Director Wang, who was smiling happily like Maitreya Buddha, looked at Ruan Luo and gave him a thumbs up.
"The whole process will be broadcast live, so no one will bully you under the eyes of so many people."
Watching Director Wang lip-syncing his words, Ruan Luo gritted his teeth imperceptibly, forced himself to give a thumbs up, and revealed an unusually stiff smile.
No matter how stupid Ruan Luo was, he knew that the whole process of live broadcasting was to maintain his own personality throughout the whole process, and there could not be any mistakes in the middle. Netizens had dog noses, and as long as there was a little fishy smell, they would follow the clues to dig out his dark history.
Although Ruan Luo thought he had no dark history, when he first entered the circle, he relied on his handsome face to have ambiguous relationships with some male actors and directors.
Although it may seem like nothing, once the chat records are released, those netizens who are experts in identification will definitely label themselves as innocent.
——After all, he had just got this body at that time, and he hooked up with a lot of people, and he did say a lot of dirty words.
Fortunately, Ruan Luo quickly calmed down, put on his most iconic smile and greeted the guests around him.
"Hello, Mr. Fan, Mr. Xia. I didn't expect that we would meet again."
Ruan Luo said to the two guests in front of him with a smile that Fan Tao was the male lead of his previous crew, while Xia Tingxi was the female supporting role in the previous crew.
The drama is currently on air, but the female lead has become popular and has gone to participate in other variety shows, so the publicity staff decided to hype up the cult of the male and female supporting characters first.
It just so happens that Fan Tao and Xia Tingxi are both in their twenties, and their rivalry in the play is quite tense, and there is even a feeling of love and hate between them.
However, the two of them naturally kept a distance from each other on the variety show, especially when the director announced that the entire show would be broadcast live, they even wanted to stay eight feet away from each other.
Hype is hype, they don't want to be really thought of as a couple.
"It's brother Ruan Luo. It's true that youth is good. A 22-year-old's face is so delicate and fragile."
Xia Tingxi smiled and touched Ruan Luo's face from a distance, but she didn't get too close, otherwise Ruan Luo's diehard fans would bite her like mad dogs.
Fortunately, the threat posed by the woman to Ruan Luo's fans was not as strong as that posed by Fan Tao next to her. No one said anything in the barrage. Instead, Fan Tao just smiled and greeted them the whole time, then quietly took a step back.
Ruan Luo's fans were unhappy about this and started cursing Fan Tao in the barrage, and other passers-by couldn't stand it anymore.
"Didn't you say before that any male creature within three meters of your Ruan Ruan would be killed by you? Isn't this guy afraid of being killed, so he walked away? Why can't I like him, and can't I dislike him? Are you crazy?"
Fortunately, the war of words was soon calmed down, not because Ruan Luo’s fans learned to shut up.
But another guest came.
"I guarantee that you will scream when you see this guest."
Director Wang blinked mysteriously. The comments were disgusted by him, but his curiosity was still aroused. He began to look forward to who the next guest would be.
“Squeak—”
Accompanied by the sound of the car stopping.
All the guests present looked towards the door of the car that had just stopped.
——I saw a man in casual pants getting out of the nanny car.
Although the temperature has dropped in October, it is not too cold. It is a good time of the year with clear and cool weather, so the man only wears a thin high-necked long-sleeved cashmere sweater.
However, this high-end cashmere sweater seems to be too tight-fitting - it outlines the good figure perfectly, especially the chest muscles, which are clearly visible.
The man's skin color was slightly darker, like the color of honey, and coupled with his good figure, Xia Tingxi couldn't help swallowing.
When the man looked up, his handsome face and iconic fox eyes made Xia Tingxi couldn't help but let out a scream.
"It's Actor Wen! It's actually Actor Wen! Director Wang, you deserve to be enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
The barrage of comments also exploded at this time.
"Oh my god, a male Bodhisattva is the movie emperor! He has great acting skills, a great body, and a great face! He was actually invited by Director Wang!"
"Damn, he's really worthy of being called a male Bodhisattva. With his body and muscles, he looks like he can strangle me to death."
"I'm already drooling, wuwuwuwuwu. If I can't bury this chest muscle, my soul, my character, all the good things about me, blah blah blah, I'll forget about it later, anyway, wuwuwuwu."
However, in addition to those who were licking the screen, some people also raised questions.
"It's true that Actor Wen has good acting skills, but he always has a sour face and his temper is not very good. The other two are fine, but what if my Ruan Ruan gets beaten by him?"
The people behind were all worried about Ruan Luo, but the fans of actor Wen were not to be trifled with. They rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward, starting typing on the keyboard.
"Isn't it funny? Who would beat him up for no reason? Or is it that your Ruan Ruan is the kind of person who beats people up for no reason, so you think he would be beaten up for no reason?"
The barrage of comments started a melee again.
Country A does not have such a high filter for celebrities. From time to time, you can see news about top actors buying groceries, and there is even a trend of actors tearing each other apart on their own.
Therefore, the rumors about Wen Li did not reduce his popularity. Instead, they made the audience in country A feel that he was a genuine person.
Movie fans all think that Actor Wen is quite real, not like some fake person. He looks like the Son of God, but who knows what he is like behind the scenes?
The guests at the event were unaware of the quarrel in the barrage and were all greeting Actor Wen.
With the live camera here, it's not easy for them to ask for photos or autographs. If it's misinterpreted, they won't be able to explain themselves.
However, unlike their enthusiastic greetings, Wen Li's response to them was just a nod and a "hello", and then he stood there with a sour face, as if he was owed 8 million, which made the guests very embarrassed.
The barrage of comments became more lively, but Wen Li just leaned against the pillar of the gathering place with his eyes lowered, and his long eyelashes made a shadow similar to eyeliner at the corners of his eyes.
No one knew that a cheerful voice in his head was saying this.
[Host, how does it feel to see the charming protagonist? Do you have any impulse to protect him? ]
[That's not the case, but I do have the urge to let him meet Gao Wenjun.]
Gu Youxing said to 777 with his eyes closed.
[The encounter between the popular group pet and Long Aotian will definitely be a very nice scene. 】
