Chapter 43: Uncle, Cousin
Chapter 43: Uncle, Cousin
"Xiao Lu, how many more commercial performances are there?" Gu Luojin asked, resting with her eyes half-closed in the car.
He dared not open his eyes, for if he did, he would have to keep smiling and begin the performance.
"Brother Gu, there are still seventeen games left."
He had only been told by Sister Wang that there were only about ten shows, but he only found out when the list was sent to Wang Lu.
He was fooled and scammed.
There are more than 30 companies scattered all over the country, and traveling is too tiring.
"Let's set the last location in Chongqing, so we can audition for 'Better Days'."
"Brother Gu, no problem."
His phone vibrated, and when he opened it, a picture of black stockings immediately caught his eye.
However, the person who posted the photos was neither his two ex-girlfriends nor Zhang Jingyi, who usually sent him beautiful photos, but his junior classmate Zhou Ye.
Then, the photo of her legs in black stockings was withdrawn at the last minute: "Brother Gu, sorry, I clicked the wrong thing."
"?"
"Brother Gu, what have you been busy with lately?"
"He's busy with commercial performances in Hainan Province."
This junior is interesting. She clearly sent it to him, but she pretended to send it by mistake and then deleted it, and then pretended to ask him what he was doing.
Even photos of him in black stockings couldn't ignite his passion; he was exhausted from over thirty consecutive commercial performances.
……
"Sister Meng, are you using me to test Brother Gu?"
Meng Ziyi, of course, would not admit: "After the breakup, he never contacted me again, and Chocolate stopped coming to see me."
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Chocolate sensed the hostess's listless spirit and loudly echoed her.
"I'd like to know if you two have communicated privately. I'd like to ask you about his recent situation."
Zhou Ye couldn't quite understand Meng Ziyi's decision to break up with Gu Luojin.
She was willing to break up with such a handsome and witty guy like Gu.
If it were me dating Gu Ge, she definitely wouldn't be the one to bring it up.
Since Sister Meng is her "best friend," she has to offer advice on her best friend's relationship.
"Since you graduated, I haven't had much contact with Brother Gu. The reason Brother Gu hasn't been contacting you is probably because he's busy with work. Didn't he just tell me that he was doing a commercial performance in Hainan Province?"
"Xiao Ye, I'll be troubling you for a while; I'll be sleeping in the same bed with you."
"Come on, since we're best friends. But I have to go to Chongqing for a movie audition in 20 days, so I probably won't be able to come with you then."
"At that time, I should go back too."
Meng Ziyi, who went to take on the challenge last time, was deceived by Nazha's carefully crafted facade of affection. She is currently unaware that Nazha has already broken up with Gu Luojin.
……
Arriving in Chongqing Province, just before finishing his last commercial performance, he realized how wonderful life is.
He also earned money from commercial performances, and his single "The Wind Rises" reached diamond record status, with sales reaching 570 million.
It gave him a huge boost, making him a millionaire again, now only seven million short of his ten million assets.
The fourth task triggered by the system, "Conquering the entire crew with acting skills," was completed, earning 80 upgrade points.
Unfortunately, the movie hasn't been released yet, and the task of helping Naza, who has a representative role, hasn't been completed. Otherwise, he could have upgraded to V3.
He doesn't care at all about acting skills.
This period was a mix of pain and joy.
"Brother, this is the last one. We'll rest for two days in Chongqing before the audition."
"Is your resume and everything else ready?"
"You can rest assured that I'll handle things." Seeing her confident demeanor, Gu Luojin chose to trust her; she had never made a mistake in serious matters.
"Xiaolu, you didn't arrange for any fans to pick you up at the airport. If you did, remember to give them extra money, and be quick and decisive when you do."
He once heard a joke about arranging for fake fans to pick someone up at the airport, and they were only paid 150 yuan.
This allows comedians pretending to be fans to remove the train ticket, making others lose the cost of a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger).
"Brother, we're not famous, don't think about these things."
This disappointed him, as no fans came to pick him up at the airport.
Suddenly, a large group of people walked towards his location, and judging from their appearance, they were all loyal fans.
"Xiaolu, you always manage to come up with something new."
"Why hide it when fans are coming to pick you up at the airport? Just tell me directly."
She genuinely didn't invite any fans to pick her up at the airport. The only possibility is that these fans came voluntarily after learning about her schedule.
As Gu Luojin, wearing sunglasses, took out a pen to sign autographs for his fans, the group walked right past him.
He stopped behind him and shouted, "Yi Yang Qianxi, I love you!"
Wang Lu almost couldn't catch her breath. Not long ago, this celebrity had been beaten up by the two men, and now the two had met at the same airport.
The situation is just a little different; one is surrounded by fans, while the other is only accompanied by an assistant.
"Brother, let's go quickly. If we get recognized, his group of die-hard fans won't be easy to deal with."
"Let's go."
He wasn't afraid. He hadn't worked out for nothing. Even if he couldn't escape, he had studied law and practiced both martial arts and magic, providing double protection. He was stronger with each session.
"Let's go."
The moment he moved his foot, one of Jackson Yee's female fans was pushed to the ground by the crowd and fell right in front of him.
Gu Luojin extended a warm hand: "Don't rush into chasing stars, take it slow, be careful not to get hurt."
That magnetic voice and handsome face made the female fans' hearts flutter.
This guy was really something: "So handsome, is he a celebrity?"
"Beautiful lady, you don't want me to keep holding out my hand, do you?"
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Are you a celebrity too?
"I am not."
"Can you sign your autograph for me? I think you're very handsome and will definitely become a star, a big hit."
"Alright, then I'll take your good wishes."
Gu Luojin signed his name.
"Thank you. When you become a star, I will become your fan."
Afterwards, this young lady rejoined the ranks of fans.
"Brother Gu, are you sad?"
"Why should I be heartbroken? I just converted someone else's fans into a fan, so it's not a bad deal."
As long as you make a profit, you're not at a loss.
Gu Luojin vaguely remembered that when she was a child, no one would be willing to bend down and pick up one-cent or five-cent coins that appeared on the road.
He picked them up little by little each time, and after three years, he treated himself to a meal at Wallace.
"Brother, the car's here, let's go."
"Go go go, let's go!"
……
"Xiwei, didn't you say you liked the celebrity Gu Luojin?"
"yes."
"He's going to perform at the Wuyue Mall in Chongqing today."
"Really? But is it even possible to see him?"
"My uncle is the manager of Wuyue Mall. He can help us get in touch with Gu Luojin."
"Really? Wu Yue, I'll get up and wash right away. Wait for me."
"No rush, he won't arrive until the afternoon."
After getting up, Tian Xiwei rummaged through her wardrobe, preparing to meet her favorite celebrity in person.
"Is this white lace-trimmed slip dress too plain?"
"Still this blue tank top, paired with a white tulle skirt, and I just bought a pair of tall boots. No, no, this is too short."
The endless selection process only made her anxious and confused.
In the end, Tian Xiwei chose to wear a white and colorful polka dot sundress, and tied her hair in pigtails with a white ribbon, fully demonstrating her sweet, cute, and girlish style.
"Perfect, this is the one."
……
"Yueyue, you and your friends wait here for my message. If Teacher Gu is willing to film with you, I will let you know to come over."
"If others are unwilling, there's nothing I can do."
"Uncle, you're my uncle, you must have a way, right?"
"It's a watch."
"That's still my uncle, otherwise I would have told my aunt that you hid your secret stash of money in the vase in the living room."
"Yueyue, stop shaking. Okay, okay, I'll do my best to fight for you."
After the last performance, Gu Luojin breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over."
"Professor Gu, two of my juniors have been your loyal fans and would like to take a photo with you. Would that be convenient for you?"
Gu Luojin felt a sense of déjà vu about this scene, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
