Chapter 384 I am a more traditional person

Author: Hometown Three Thousand Miles

After the National Day holiday, Gu Ru came back within a few days.

In the past few months, she has been accepted into commercial performances, appeared on major radio and television stations, and accepted more than a dozen advertising endorsements.

It was quite tiring, but I also made a lot of money.

At the same time, it also brought considerable profits to the company.

Although he is not considered a first-line star, the money he made during this period is no less than that of that first-line star.

The most important thing is that those first-line stars will not be so tired, nor will they lower their status in order to take on more commercial activities.

Her endorsements in several advertisements may be comparable to that of one A-list star in one advertisement, but she has received more than a dozen endorsements. Some celebrities only have one or two endorsements a year. When it comes to total income, she

It can be higher.

The same is true for commercial performances.

If she wants to stay in the entertainment industry for a long time, of course she can't engage in price reductions and promotions. Instead, she should try to accept as few endorsements as possible. If she does, she can only accept endorsements from high-end luxury brands. Only in this way will she

Improve your own quality and increase your worth.

With the foundation laid by her classic songs, it is not impossible to run it better and take care of its feathers, and it is not impossible to build it into a first-line star.

But she didn't want to stay in the entertainment industry for a long time. She just wanted to make a quick buck before she became obsolete. Of course, she had to strike while the iron was hot and take on as many commercial activities as possible.

Although Starlight Entertainment has the word "entertainment" in its name, it is actually not very interested in developing into the entertainment industry, and they do not have many resources to support their development in this circle. From the beginning to the end, their identity is just

An outsider.

Part of the reason why Gu Ru consumes her fame and makes quick money in this way is because the company's development plan does not support her long-term development in the entertainment industry.

Of course, she herself was tired. Being a star no longer had the same allure to her as it had in the past. She just wanted to earn some pension money so that she could live a carefree life in the future.

After entering that circle, some of the stories she heard frightened her. She didn't want to sacrifice herself in that circle, and she didn't want to do something beyond her own bottom line in order to become a first-line star.

She had made enough money this year and was exhausted. She was also preparing to release a solo album at the end of the year. Therefore, after completing a series of business activities during the National Day holiday, she returned to

Arrive at Yangcheng.

All subsequent work has been postponed.

Let’s talk about work again. It’s almost the end of the year. I want to get the last vote during the Spring Festival and then quit the entertainment industry.

She is the company's cash cow, and is also Yan Xin's good friend and his business partner.

When she came back, Yan Xin personally drove his Mercedes-Benz to pick her up.

Gu Ru came back alone again.

Her agent, Xiao Yin, was too tired from following her around for the past few months, so he gave her another month's leave - anyway, there was no use for her in the past two months.

, there is no need to keep her by your side, it is better to do it as a favor.

Agents have a certain commission. Although Xiao Yin's agent's commission ratio is not high, Gu Ru earns a lot more, and the low ratio also allows her to earn a lot of income.

At least it’s enough to buy a house with three bedrooms and one living room in Yangcheng.

——Even in a few years, that income will be enough to pay the down payment for a house.

It is also a very pleasant thing to have money and clothes to return home and relax for a month.

Gu Ru came out of the airport without makeup and wearing a pair of sunglasses. No one recognized her.

Yan Xin almost didn't recognize him until he walked a few meters in front of him, then he recognized him and was shocked:

"Sister Ru, why are you so thin?"

From watching TV, I don't think she is thin, but I think she has become more beautiful than before.

But when I saw it in reality, I found that I was much thinner than I was a few months ago.

Just like Feng Xi had just finished military training.

It's just that Feng Xi has lost weight after military training, but he still looks energetic.

But Gu Ru's face showed visible fatigue.

Feng Xi was already tanned by that time.

Gu Ru is not black, she has even become a little whiter, but she looks very unhealthy.

Seeing Yan Xin, Gu Ru cheered, with a smile on her face, as if she were seeing a relative, and then opened her arms to him to give him a hug.

Yan Xin hesitated for a moment, and seeing that no one recognized Gu Ru, he smiled and opened his arms to her for a hug.

"Sanjin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much." Gu Ru said cheerfully.

Chen Li liked to call Yan Xin Sanjin, and later she also learned from him.

The two hugged each other, and Yan Xin saw from a close distance that her face was pale, but it was a dull white color, and her skin was a little loose.

I couldn't help but say: "Sister Ru, you have worked hard these past few months."

"It's okay, how can making money not be hard?" Gu Ru didn't care, "I used to go to parties all night long, and sometimes I had to drink, but it wasn't easy. It has been hard these past few months, but hard work

After these few months, I won’t have to work hard for the rest of my life, and it’s quite worth it.”

"That's right," Yan Xin nodded, "When I come back this time, I can have a good rest and recuperate my body."

Gu Ru looked at him: "Don't you think I look better if I lose some weight like this? Others say I'm more photogenic than before."

Yan Xin looked her up and down: "I still think you were more beautiful before, and you felt more comfortable looking at her."

I muttered in my heart: "She actually said 'yeah', has she been performing with Daimaru Lang in the past few months?"

"Really?" Gu Ru was doubtful.

"Being thinner does look better on TV, but it's different in real life." Yan Xin told the truth.

Gu Ru snorted and then laughed: "That's the best. I was thinking about whether I should be more restrained in my diet to maintain such a figure. Since you said so, then I won't pursue losing weight.

It’s time to eat and drink, so that you can live a happier life.”

The two of them got into the car, Gu Ru sat in the passenger seat, and a little unceremoniously took off her high heels and put her legs in front of her.

Yan Xin had lived in her house for a while and knew that the eldest sister looked like a virtuous lady on the outside. She paid special attention to her personal image, but she was careless in front of her own people and had no image at all.

——He has seen the image of neutral gear many times.

This is just taking off your shoes, not worth mentioning.

——When I lived at her house before, I used to sit cross-legged on the sofa, picking my feet with one hand and picking grapes to eat with the other.

This is just a small scene, not worth mentioning.

Doing such a thing in front of him only shows one thing - you don't treat him as an outsider, but as one of your own.

However, Gu Ru was not completely without worries. She put her feet behind the bridge and asked Yan Xin cautiously:

"It doesn't stink, does it?"

Yan Xin twitched his nose and sniffed, but couldn't smell any special smell. He said uncertainly: "It seems that I didn't smell anything..."

I glanced at it from the corner of my eye and thought to myself: "It's shredded pork. Sister Ru is actually wearing shredded pork."

Gu Ru felt relieved and laughed: "I can't smell anything either. In fact, my feet don't stink."

Yan Xin thought to himself: "You don't have to tell me this."

Gu Ru lamented: "Wearing high heels during this period has made me tired. They say that wearing high heels can make your figure look better. This may be true, but my feet are always suffering. When I quit this circle, I want to

Say goodbye to high heels forever! This is an anti-human design!”

Yan Xin originally wanted to express his opinion - from an aesthetic point of view, high-heeled shoes are not anti-human.

But before the words were spoken, Gu Ru said again:

"This is a torture device for women designed by designers to please those bad men. Men look good, but we women are the ones who suffer. It's so inhumane!"

I broke out in a cold sweat and thought: "Fortunately, I didn't express my opinion in time."

Gu Ru asked him again: "Sanjin, you are a man with normal aesthetics. Do you think women look good wearing high heels?"

Having already won the title of a man with normal aesthetics, Yan Xin could only express his correct views and said seriously:

"I think women wearing high heels don't look good. They look unnatural. Women who like to wear high heels have a deformed and sick aesthetic."

Gu Ru happily patted his shoulder: "I mean, how can any normal man like to dress like this?"

He sighed again: "It's a pity that in today's world, there are too few men with normal aesthetics like you. In order to cater to those perverted aesthetics, we women have to torture our bodies. It's so uncomfortable!"

"Ah, yes, yes," Yan Xin said.

If these words were said more than ten years later, Gu Ru would definitely be angry and feel that she had been ridiculed.

But speaking more than ten years in advance, she did not feel offended and was happy because of Yan Xin's approval.

Yan Xin drove the car smoothly and did not go back to Baijingyuan directly. Instead, he took Gu Ru to a restaurant.

Knowing that Gu Ru was coming back, Ai Lili booked a high-end restaurant for her, where she wanted to take care of her.

The money used is not personal money, but company money.

Gu Ru is the cash cow of Starlight Entertainment Company, a real sister. She has made so much money for the company, and now that she is back, it is only right that the company should give her a clean slate.

There is absolutely no need for this account to be paid by private individuals.

When we got there, Xiao Yuan and Chen Li were already waiting.

Ellie is still at work and hasn't come over.

When Xiao Yuan saw Gu Ru, she hugged her happily.

They haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are busy performing in various places.

However, Gu Ru also helped Xiao Yuan during this period. She helped her get some performance opportunities, which made much more money than she earned in Yangcheng running track. She also helped her get several advertising endorsements, although the endorsement fee was only a few dollars.

One hundred thousand, but several advertising endorsements combined also earned Xiao Yuan a large house with three bedrooms and one living room.

After they sat down, they talked most about the house.

Xiao Yuan and Chen Li both listened to Yan Xin's advice and only kept tens of thousands of pocket money with them. If they had any money, they would use it to buy a house.

It is better to buy a house close to the school.

Xiao Yuan now has five properties under her name, two of which are in Pengcheng.

However, I was also burdened with a very high mortgage loan.

In other words, the down payment ratio for the second and third houses is much higher, otherwise the real estate under her name would be larger.

I live in one apartment myself, two have been rented out, and the other two have not been renovated and are being renovated briefly, and will be rented out after completion.

Take out a rent-to-support loan and wait for house prices to rise.

Chen Li earned much more money than she did, but he was an online author and it was very troublesome to get a mortgage, so he simply bought the house in full.

Now I own several properties, and except for the one I live in, they are all rented out.

He does not have the pressure of a mortgage and is more financially relaxed.

Now even if I don't write novels, I can live a relaxed life relying on rent.

But writing novels is also his interest. He still has a relatively high desire to create and doesn't want to stop.

Now he lives the most unrestrained life, with a monthly manuscript fee of hundreds of thousands. When it comes to the settlement of manuscript fees for physical publishing, it can even be as high as several million.

I no longer have any worries in life, I don’t even have a girlfriend. There are beautiful girls around me all the time. Basically, they are all the same. I just spend two or three hours a day coding, and the rest of the time I can spend as much as I want. It’s not too fun.

.

Even Yan Xin envied him.

It's not ordinary envy, it's special envy.

After he and Liang Wei broke up, no one mentioned Liang Wei in front of him, but this time when Gu Ru came, she didn't have so many worries and mentioned the matter in person:

"Chen Li, I heard that you and Liang Wei broke up?"

Hearing her words, Chen Li, who was having a lively conversation, suddenly became embarrassed and smiled: "Um...yeah, we've been separated for a few months."

"We should have broken up a long time ago," Gu Ru clapped her hands, "Actually, I saw it very early on. You two are not the same person, and you will eventually separate in the future. Breaking up earlier is a wise choice."

Chen Li was a little surprised: "Um? How can you tell this?"

Xiao Yuan also had some surprises. She didn't know why Gu Ru said that.

When she found out about this, she felt that Chen Li had gone too far and that he should be with Liang Wei.

——If a girl breaks up with someone as soon as she plans to get married, isn’t that an irresponsible scumbag?

Yan Xin didn't find it strange, because he heard Gu Ru say something similar.

Gu Rudao: "That's how I feel. The girl I think is a bit scheming. Her thoughts of being with you are not that pure. Anyway, it's not for the so-called love."

"No?" Xiao Yuan retorted, "Why do I think Sister Xiao Wei likes Brother Li very much?"

"I also think she likes Chen Li very much, but whether she likes Chen Li more as a person or Chen Li's property, I can't be sure," Gu Ru said.

"It's not that complicated..." Madoka said weakly.

"It's not complicated, it's very simple. Isn't liking money the simplest human emotion?" Gu Ru said, "I have always felt that the relationship between the two of them is too unequal. That girl didn't even treat herself with

It is too humble to put Chen Li in an equal position. Pure love is not that humble. It is absolutely abnormal to put yourself in a humble position in love, so I think she has other intentions."

Speaking of the unequal relationship between the two, Chen Li felt a little embarrassed, as it seemed that he disrespected Liang Wei.

What makes him even more embarrassed is that he really doesn't respect Liang Wei, even in front of these friends, he doesn't have much respect.

So much so that Gu Ru felt that way.

Said: "Things are in the past, let's not talk about it anymore and just look forward to everything."

Gu Ru nodded: "Yes, it's all over. In fact, I quite appreciate your current lifestyle. When I quit the entertainment industry after the New Year, I will live a life like yours."

Both Chen Li and Xiao Yuan's eyes widened.

Xiao Yuan thought to herself: "Does she also have to change women every day? Then Xiao Yin won't cry to death?"

She has lived at Gu Ru's house for several months. She is not a fool. She is not deaf or blind. She has a normal IQ and knows some things that outsiders don't know.

Chen Li didn't know those things, and thought to himself: "Does this sister want to change men every day? It's too fierce! I heard that ducks are more expensive than chickens, no wonder she works so hard to make money!"

Then there was a feeling of sympathy and sympathy, and I felt that I had found a like-minded friend.

Unfortunately, she is a woman.

Of course, he would not have any thoughts about Gu Ru.

Sometimes having the same three views can bring two people together.

But sometimes having the same three views will make two people feel a little disgusted deep in their hearts - why are you so scumbag?

Just like tattoo enthusiasts are always complaining that society discriminates against their tattoo enthusiasts, they are also treated unfairly in the blind date market, but if they are asked to find a partner with the same tattoo, they will feel that the tattoo is unreliable, and they will not agree with each other.

dislike.

Many judgment standards of right and wrong have been engraved in people's bones. Even if they don't agree with their mouths, they still agree deep down in their hearts.

The two of them reached an agreement on this matter, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

This made Yan Xin a little uneasy and looked at the time:

"Lily will be here in ten minutes. Don't spread these incorrect ideas in front of her, or let her learn bad things."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Yes, after listening to it for a while, I felt that it was contaminated and had a tendency to become bad. Can't let Sister Lily hear it, or else the boss will cry to death?"

Gu Ru looked at Yan Xin and sighed: "Actually, what I don't understand the most is you. You are young and rich, and you are so handsome. Why did you tie yourself to a woman at such a young age? Do you know what you missed? You...

It’s a forest lost for a tree!”

Yan Xin thought to himself: "I obviously missed a forest for two trees."

But I couldn't say these words, so I just smiled and said: "I am more traditional and don't have such trendy ideas as you."

After I finished speaking, I felt a little depressed - how great would it be if this era could restore the tradition of three wives and four concubines?

Then there will be no regrets in this life.
