Mr. Zhou Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore!
Chapter 40:
Accepting Lu Ji's invitation, Zhou Chenxi went to Lu Ji's mother's birthday party until the weekend.
He deliberately chose a more formal suit-it was difficult for him, because his closet was full of loose casual styles and cheap stalls.
The latter is because it was really miserable to enter the entertainment circle before. The former is because I found that this kind of clothes is really comfortable to wear, so I bought several pieces at a time and threw them away when they were worn out, without careful maintenance. It’s like the clothes in my brother’s closet. Every time the aunt takes them out and irons them, it takes a long time, which adds to the workload.
That suit was made by Zhi Qi specially for Zhou Chenxi. He said that as an actor, he always had to prepare a few formal clothes in the closet. What if he attended the award ceremony?
So Zhi Qi's dream of Spring and Autumn was not achieved, Zhou Chenxi wore this dress to Lu Ji's mother for her birthday.
Zhi Qi drove the car, and sighed again and again on the way to send Zhou Chenxi to the Lu’s villa: “Let’s take part in an important occasion. Don’t drop the chain. How can you say that Lu’s investment in the entertainment industry also accounts for For half of our industry, it’s definitely not something to offend. Don’t be big or small when you go there. Remember to say hello when you see people."
Of course, this person was referring to Lu Ji's mother, Mrs. Lu. Zhou Chenxi didn't know this yet. "Yeah" said, "I know!" Zhi Qi was like an old mother.
Zhi Qi's impression of the relationship between Zhou Chenxi and Lu Ji still remained at the time of the recording of "Carp".
He did not participate in the whole process of filming the show, of course, he does not know how far Zhou Chenxi and Lu Ji's "friendship" has progressed.
Like the audiences who follow variety shows on TV, the news lags behind. I thought that Lu Ji was due to frequent accidents when Zhou Chenxi recorded "Actress", so he took more care of him in "Carp" and waited until the end of the show. , Naturally what should I do.
Lu Ji is still a lofty gold master, and Zhou Chenxi is still an exploited class in the poor entertainment industry.
Zhou Chenxi was picked up by Zhi Qi almost when he entered the circle, and Zhi Qi could be regarded as watching him grow up in the circle, with a mentality of being a parent.
Today, Mrs. Lu’s birthday party was attended by many people in the circle. As the father of the well-known gold master, Lu Ji naturally has many people rushing to "fuck up".
Therefore, invitations will be distributed at this birthday party.
Zhi Qi thought he was a keen agent. Zhou Chenxi was there on this occasion. It was impossible for him to be there, so he also tried to find Lu's invitation.
Thinking that the process would be very tortuous, he didn't expect that Lu would really give it to him.
The person in charge of the distribution of the invitations was from the Lu's marketing department. As soon as he heard that Zhi Qi was Zhou Chenxi's agent, he immediately sent someone to the entrance of Tianwang Entertainment without letting Zhi Qi take it by himself.
Zhi Qi was flattered, and took the time to ask other colleagues who were invited to the banquet. Everyone said that they went to the market department to queue up. A single person who brought it out was a face-to-face character in the entertainment industry, helping his artist to get an invitation, just like queuing at the door of a roast duck restaurant to get a discount coupon. Everyone crowded around, and some people might not get it.
Those who got it were arrogant, those who couldn't get it were downcast.
The terrible entertainment industry ecology was staged vividly in the corridor of Lu's market department.
With such a comparison, Zhi Qi's mood is vaguely subtle.
Zhou Chenxi was invited by President Lu himself, and he didn't know what the invitation was. Combined with Lu's attitude to send invitations to Zhi Qi on the initiative-to be honest, if it weren't for this incident, Zhi Qi couldn't believe that Zhou Chenxi could still be invited without an invitation. He thought Zhou Chenxi would be invited. Bragging to him at the beginning.
But no matter how cautious is always right, this is Zhi Qi's principles and experience in the circle. Of course, the agent must promptly mention his own artists, in case Zhou Chenxi offends people and don't know when.
Talking all the way to the entrance of Lu's house, Zhi Qi found a place to park in the wide parking lot. While reversing, he said to Zhou Chenxi: "Huo, this parking lot is also big. There are many cars that can be parked. Ten cars."
Zhou Chenxi was lacking in interest. There used to be a similar helipad on the roof of Zhou’s house. As a result, Zhou’s father had just obtained a helicopter driver’s license for this. Zhou’s mother felt that it was too dangerous and said that it is safe to go on a civil airliner, and the helipad was abandoned. .
Later, Zhou Chenxi had the impression that the helicopter had not gone, but Zhou’s mother asked someone to shovel the apron to plant flowers. Later, she said that she would build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, because the vegetables that she grows are healthy. Zhou Mingxuan who survived stopped.
Zhou's mother couldn't even take care of her unconscious young son Zhou Chenxi, let alone grow vegetables in the greenhouse.
Now that one is handed over to the housekeeper, because it’s a bit far from the main building of Zhou’s house, and Zhou Chenxi is just a slacker egg. He went home and lay in the bedroom. I haven’t set foot there in a few years, and I don’t know where it is now. Is there any grass growing?
However, Zhou Chenxi is very interested in the place where Lu Ji lived.
I heard that Lu Ji grew up in Luzhai when he was a child, and moved out alone when he was an adult. But after all, Mrs. Lu is here, Lu Ji will come back often, such as today's birthday party.
The two went through the garden and walked outside the main building of Lu's house. Someone came and asked them to show an invitation.
Zhi Qi was digging into his pocket, and Lu Ji's secretary came out from it: "Mr. Zhou was invited by Mr. Lu, just put it in."
The security guard at the door let them in as they were told.
Zhi Qi's invitation card was half drawn, not embarrassing or embarrassing, and then stuffed it back.
After entering the door, Zhou Chenxi realized that Lu Zhai was different from theirs.
The area is about the same size as their home, but it lacks a bit of human touch. Many corners are empty and there are no furnishings. Unlike Zhou Chenxi’s house, there is still the ugly picture painted by Zhou Chenxi when he was a child on the wall of the living room. Ji's family portrait.
Lu Ji didn't know where he was. Zhou Chenxi and Zhi Qi stayed in the corner for a while. Lu Ji's secretary came over and said, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lu is still in the company. Come and wait with me."
Zhou Chenxi stood up.
Zhi Qi was anxious and wanted to go up with Zhou Chenxi. The secretary raised his hand to stop him: "Mr. Zhi, there is a snack in the back garden. You can go there and rest first."
This is the meaning of not intending to let him follow upstairs, Zhi Qi's expression is not right, Zhou Chenxi patted him on the shoulder in a reassuring manner: "You are here, I will come down when Lu Ji comes back!"
Zhi Qi looked at the secretary, then at Zhou Chenxi, vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Is this the attitude that an entertainment industry magnate should have towards a small star?
Zhou Chenxi handed him a look of "Reassure", and followed the secretary upstairs heartily.
Zhi Qi turned around and saw Xie Xueyu's agent standing not far away. He quickly put his doubts behind him and hurried up to say hello.
Zhou Chenxi sat on the balcony upstairs for a while, not daring to hang out, and soon Lu Ji came upstairs.
He seemed to have just finished his work. He came over and loosened the tie around his neck: "Have you waited a long time?"
"No?" Zhou Chenxi stood up hurriedly, "The sun is good today, it looks like a painting."
Zhou Chenxi pointed to the sunset outside: "I can't help but appreciate it a few more times."
Lu Ji looked outside and laughed.
"Well, you are right," Lu Ji suddenly remembered Zhou Chenxi's paintings on the show. "Speaking of painting, haven't you secretly painted me? When will you show me the painting?"
They were all publicly executed by the program team. It is impossible to hide Lu Ji. Zhou Chenxi said quickly: "I brought you gifts and your mother's. They are all in a strange car. I will get them now! "
Lu Ji said, "Just let my secretary go and get it."
The secretary quickly went downstairs at Lu Ji's order, asked Zhi Qi for the car key, and took out the big bags of gifts in his trunk.
Two bags are odd. He gave ladies' perfume and skin care products. The other two bags are from Zhou Chenxi. From the outside, they are similar. I don't know what's in them.
"This is for your mother," Zhou Chenxi took one of the bags, took out the box inside, and motioned to Lu Ji to look at the trademark on it, "Bags."
"Although I know you don't like me to spend money," Zhou Chenxi carefully stuffed the box back, "but I really don't know what to give your mother, mainly because my mother is very picky...I'm not here Say auntie, because every time I buy a gift for my mother, she always has a headache. She always thinks that the one I bought is not good and that I don’t like it. She also said that the lipstick I picked for her was a death color. Then I gave it up and gave it to her. Buy bags and perfumes, you can't go wrong with these, perfume Zhiqi has been given away!"
Although Zhou Chenxi helped him choose the perfume, he also added money along the way: "So I bought a bag," Zhou Chenxi continued, "This bag is my mother's favorite. People of my age should have a more consistent vision. "
Lu Ji glanced at the brand, luxury goods casually.
If he opened the box and looked at it, he would find that the bag given by Zhou Chenxi was a limited edition for this fall.
——Forget it, there is no need to remind him to save money today.
Lu Ji thought, and asked Zhou Chenxi, "Where is mine?"
Zhou Chenxi was more careful, holding another bag to his lap and pulling out a picture frame from inside.
"This is for you, um..." Zhou Chenxi said shyly, "you can't dislike my bad painting, otherwise I will be so conscious!"
Lu Ji was quickly attracted by the frame in Zhou Chenxi's hand.
It was a colorful painting, framed with a frame made of colored glaze. It seemed simple and low-key, but it would shine brightly in the sun, as if it was to set off the person in the painting—in the painting, Lu Ji sits casually, Half of his face was exposed, one hand was lightly squeezing his chin, his eyes drooping slightly, very gentle.
Lu Ji has never seen himself like this in his paintings.
He most often sees himself in the morning mirror. He gets up and washes in a hurry every day, just to start his busy and oppressive day.
Sometimes Lu Ji would look in the mirror and wonder who he is, the days he lived in this world were far beyond ordinary people, and the meaning of life that was only once in his life no longer exists for him.
The second is in the magazine.
Some magazines often invite him, let him do an interview, and ask him to take photos.
Lu Ji is the person in charge of the Lu family, and these are all daily routines for him.
Occasionally, the photographer who took pictures of him praised him for being handsome. Lu Ji didn't care about it, he cared more about himself in the mirror every day.
He was pushed away severely by time, as if he had never known what would happen in the future, and it seemed that he could not avoid similar things from happening again.
He experienced despair time and time again.
For a while, Lu Ji was afraid to look at himself in the mirror.
Until he saw this painting.
This painting is not perfect. Zhou Chenxi hasn't practiced drawing systematically for a long time, and his skills have long been rusty. Fortunately, Lu Ji only looked at the general picture in painting appreciation, and he couldn't notice the insiders.
He only noticed that it was the first time someone took his place to look at himself from this new angle, and the person in the painting was shining—he realized that he was like this in Zhou Chenxi's eyes.
"Do you like it?" Zhou Chenxi asked him cautiously.
He tried his best to prevent Lu Ji from seeing that his two hands hidden behind his back were already nervously mixed together: "This is the painting I drew on the show! In fact, there are two more, both of which are scrapped. The picture is not very good. I haven’t painted for a long time and I need to practice my hands. The second picture is okay. This is this one. I am still a bit dissatisfied. I can paint better."
Zhou Chenxi was a little regretful, and sighed: "I am anxious to give you a gift, and I want to surprise you during this time, so I can only do this first..."
"I like it very much," Lu Ji said seriously, "I like it very much."
He said it dearly.
"Really?" Zhou Chenxi's eyes lit up, and he said, "By the way, there is another gift to give you. I picked it out separately because I think it's too shabby to only send paintings, and I'm afraid of you. I spend money arbitrarily, this is not expensive, just my heart, and I will give it to you now, it’s not good, don’t dislike it~"
Zhou Chenxi took out a small box and handed it to Lu Ji.
Lu Ji opened in front of him, with a pair of cuffs lying inside.
This brand is really not a very expensive brand. It is far behind the bag given to Mrs. Lu, but the cufflinks are very exquisite and you can see that they are carefully selected.
"Would you like to give it a try?" Zhou Chenxi craned her neck and said, "The lady at the counter said this is very suitable for business people. I took a look and thought it matched you."
Lu Ji took off the pair of cufflinks worth hundreds of thousands from his sleeves and threw them aside.
Zhou Chenxi went up to help him put it on.
He often gave these to his brother, and he was familiar with wearing them. After wearing them, Zhou Chenxi stepped back and took a look.
Sure enough, the price is different, and there is still a difference in temperament. The suit on Lu Ji is custom-made at first glance, and the cufflinks must be exquisite.
Not as good as the pair that gave my brother last month.
The nitpicking Zhou Chenxi looked more and more dissatisfied, and said with a sullen face: "I'd better put it back first."
Lu Ji straightened his sleeves and put them down: "It's okay, that's it, it looks pretty, really."
He looked at his watch, time was almost up, and said, "Let's go down first."
"Okay." Zhou Chenxi sorted out his clothes and went downstairs with Lu Ji.
Lu Ji glanced at the suit on his body, and suddenly his heart moved, and he stretched out one of his arms wickedly.
Zhou Chenxi: "What are you doing?"
"Go down together, you are a distinguished guest." Lu Ji said.
Although he didn't understand what this had to do with putting his arm around, Zhou Chenxi reached out and took it up.
Lu Ji seemed to really take him seriously, so he was really happy.
Think of it as etiquette, Zhou Chenxi thought, anyway, he would often take his brother's arm when attending family banquets.
Good brothers can also hook shoulders and back in another form.
"You look good today." Lu Ji said slowly. It looks better than the afterglow of the setting sun.
Zhou Chenxi was praised and swelled in an instant, and he was rarely humbled: "Generally so, third in the world!"
Lu Ji: "..."
The author has something to say: Mr. Lu: I can’t move.
Thank you "Mengsheng is Lolita!" "Yujiang", "Mysterious Passerby", "Qianqian", "Sajihengning", "Baixiaosheng", "Hat" and "Silent" nutrient solution!
