"I'll get you a swimsuit model or lingerie model job another day," Lu Yinian said thoughtfully, stroking his chin as if deep in thought.
"You got promoted?" Gu Xinglan suppressed her embarrassment slightly.
It is highly likely that the venue manager will switch careers to become an agent.
Lu Yinian chuckled twice upon hearing this, then sat down on the ground as well, mysteriously raising her voice, "Guess."
"Congratulations in advance, no matter what."
Gu Xinglan stood up and patted off imaginary dust from her bottom. "Let's go eat now."
When you're about to go out.
Lu Yinian came out of the bathroom after drying her hair and saw Gu Xinglan on the sofa still wearing her pajamas. She went over and grabbed the collar of her pajamas.
"Why are you still wearing your pajamas? It's almost two o'clock!"
"Are you going to go shirtless if you don't wear pajamas?" Gu Xinglan joked.
There is an existing commercial street right outside this residential area, and it is very close to the city center.
"You dare!" Lu Yinian slapped Gu Xinglan's left shoulder fiercely, then dragged him back to the bedroom.
"It's a bar trip, kid, not a pajama party."
After saying that, she opened the wardrobe and picked out a vest and shorts for Gu Xinglan.
Is this any different from pajamas?
"Isn't the opening of this vest too big?"
“And this one.” Lu Yinian took out a long-sleeved silk garment, which was covered with loose mesh, like spider silk.
"Why are you still wearing makeup?!" Lu Yinian began rummaging through the cosmetics in her dressing table again.
Gu Xinglan quickly fled the room.
Finally, she changed out of her pajamas, insisted on wearing classic black shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, and then slipped on a pair of sneakers before heading out.
Two o'clock in the morning.
The bar was brightly lit outside, and you could hear rock music blaring from inside.
Lu Yinian handed over a card, which the security guard at the door quickly took.
Gu Xinglan glanced around the bar a few times, then stepped into the passageway, only to be stopped by security guards.
The security guard's tattoos ran from the back of both hands down to the right side of his face, giving him a menacing look. "Please show me your membership card."
“He’s with me.” Lu Yinian hooked her arm around Gu Xinglan’s neck and pulled him inside.
"This bar is for members only, and it's not chaotic."
Not chaotic?
...It's a complete mess!
Inside, chaos reigned. Short-sleeved girls and shirtless guys bounced around in the booths. Visibility was so low that you couldn't see the people sitting on the sofas at all. You could only glimpse the hands holding wine glasses and the various expensive watches on their wrists through the huge, constantly flashing neon lights overhead.
It was bigger, more crowded, and had a stronger smell of alcohol than the bar that Jiang's son had taken him to before.
"Lu Yinian, it's too noisy..."
The person with his arm around his neck didn't respond; instead, they took a glass of wine and drank it themselves.
“Lu Yinian!” Gu Xinglan shouted in his ear.
But Lu Yinian was clearly unusually excited.
"Want a drink?" The glass slid up to his lips, almost hitting his teeth.
Gu Xinglan was a little angry. She pushed Lu Yinian's hand away and prepared to go back the way she came.
Suddenly, a foot appeared out of nowhere and tripped him, causing him to fall onto the sofa in the booth.
The people on the sofa, dancing to the music, didn't care what they were doing. Gu Xinglan, afraid of seeing something she shouldn't, quickly covered her eyes.
A muffled laugh came from nearby; everyone around was laughing, and it was impossible to tell who was laughing.
very messy.
Gu Xinglan curled up in a ball, wanting to get away as soon as possible. Just as she was about to slip away, someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her away from behind.
"Twenty thousand for one night."
Two bowls? One bowl? Unable to hear clearly and unable to break free from the hand gripping his wrist, Gu Xinglan simply pulled off the other man's wristwatch.
This watch looks very valuable.
The moment they touched, the man withdrew his hand. Gu Xinglan took off running and ran to the door, where Lu Yinian was standing, looking around.
"Gu Xinglan!"
Upon seeing the familiar figure, Lu Yinian immediately jogged over, but Lu Yinian dodged aside.
"You play by yourself, I'll wait for you on the other side."
There's a coffee shop and a pizzeria across the street, and there are still people inside at 2 a.m.
"I didn't expect it to be so lively today." Lu Yinian shook his head. "There are usually few people here, today is a special case."
"Special? I see you're quite used to it." Gu Xinglan's eyebrows twitched.
"Isn't that... lively?"
Lu Yinian scratched his head. "Let's go, let's go. I'll take you to a nice hotel for dinner."
Speaking of food, I'm getting hungry.
Before the two even reached the door, a waiter blocked their way. "Mr. Lu, someone would like to invite you to room 452."
Lu Yinian stared intently at Gu Xinglan, "This bar has a restaurant upstairs, and it's a two-Michelin-starred establishment."
"……it is good."
Gu Xinglan couldn't resist the expectant look in the other person's eyes.
There were two huge doors at the top of the stairs. The moment the doors closed, all sound was silenced, and there was only the soft sound of piano music.
As they approached the private room, Lu Yinian stopped and said, seemingly out of the blue, "I don't think the food here suits your taste."
“As long as I can eat enough.”
Gu Xinglan glanced at the time on her phone screen.
If we dawdle any longer, it will be 3 a.m.
When the door opened, there were quite a few people inside. Some called out "Brother Lu" and others "Brother Nian" when they saw Lu Yinian, their voices light and airy.
He casually found a place to sit down, but to his surprise, the person next to him immediately jumped up as if he had encountered a flood or a beast, making a great commotion. Gu Xinglan looked at the person who had jumped up, puzzled, and then looked at Lu Yinian behind him.
Lu Yinian winked at him and whispered in his ear, "I'm going to introduce you to someone."
"Meeting whom?"
"Pei Xiao".
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.
The newcomer was dressed in a well-tailored light blue suit made of high-quality fabric that gleamed under the lights. He had a smooth figure with straight shoulders, and the collar of his shirt was slightly open, revealing a glimpse of his collarbone.
A very familiar name.
Gu Xinglan's mind raced for a while before finally finding the relevant memory in some obscure corner.
System: [You saw him in Chapter 18.]
"what?"
Before Gu Xinglan could ask any more questions, the private room suddenly went dark, and then a large halo of light suddenly appeared.
The soft light slowly shone on each face, then with a thud, a large white halo suddenly shone on Gu Xinglan's head, so bright it was blinding.
"Pei Xiao, that's enough." Lu Yinian's face turned cold when he saw Pei Xiao deliberately making such a scene.
Riding on President Meng's coattails, Pei Xiao worked with good directors to make good movies, and countless of his films have become box office hits. Two years ago, he even became the youngest male actor to break into the top ten highest-grossing films, and the only traffic star among the ten. He was praised by everyone outside the industry, but hated by everyone within the industry.
Especially after the lawsuit with Boss Meng a few months ago and the blatant act of kicking him while he was down by going solo, Pei Xiao registered his own company, which seems to indicate a shift to working behind the scenes.
Looking at Pei Xiao's smug expression, like a fox smugly holding meat in its mouth, Lu Yinian felt a slight resentment.
The reason why they were able to win the lawsuit against Boss Meng is naturally because Meng Guanhe has also recently been embroiled in a lawsuit.
Meng Guanhe's company was just doing normal business activities such as introducing spokespeople and shooting commercials for an established luxury brand. Unexpectedly, the established luxury brand was framed and its reputation plummeted in just a few days. Even the spokespeople introduced by the company were affected, and the company itself was also affected. Meng Guanhe was extremely busy in the past few months.
Pei Xiao was the company's biggest cash cow. When the company was in its most difficult time, he took a group of experienced veteran employees to start their own business.
He was one of them.
Actually, he had wanted to change jobs for a long time. If it weren't for Gu Xinglan, he would have left long ago. With his abilities, he wouldn't have had to worry about finding a job.
Lu Yinian thought to himself that if Gu Xinglan were under Pei Xiao's command, at least she wouldn't be sidelined.
Both of them believed that Gu Xinglan could soar to great heights, but they just lacked the right opportunity.
