Turn over from love

Chapter 2 The Chance Before Saying Goodbye
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

While Lu Zhou was lying in a trance on the hospital bed, there was a sudden knock on the door of the ward, and a slender figure walked in.

Lu Zhou looked back, and it was Nan Qiao who came.

She wore a pair of sunglasses that almost covered half of her face, and a black peaked cap on her head. She was followed by a female assistant, carrying a large fruit basket.

"Miss Nan."

Lu Zhou sat up propped up and greeted her politely.

He and Nan Qiao are both signed by Jinhua Entertainment, Nan Qiao is a few years older than him, and he can be regarded as his senior sister of the same school.

From the same company, the gap is like a world apart.

Nan Qiao is a popular artist in the company, he is highly valued, and there is no shortage of resources in the company.Usually in the company, when they met each other, only Lu Zhou knew her, but the other party couldn't remember which onion Lu Zhou was related to.

But now, an unexpected sacrifice for redemption...let Nan Qiao know Lu Zhou.

Probably out of gratitude and guilt, Nan Qiao has visited him in the hospital three times including today.

"Xiaozhou, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Nan Qiao came in with a smile, bent over and looked at his gauze-wrapped head.

"It's much better. The doctor said that he can be discharged after two more days of observation."

Lu Zhou was a little uncomfortable with such a close communication, and subconsciously leaned back a little.

"I see that your complexion is indeed much better than before."

Nan Qiao pulled up a chair and sat by the hospital bed. Her assistant put the fruit basket on the table and left by herself.

"Didn't your family come to see you?"

Nan Qiao looked at the empty ward and subconsciously expressed concern.

She has visited the hospital three times, and every time she came to him, there was no one to accompany her. Nan Qiao began to wonder if Lu Zhou was an orphan.

"I was afraid that my family would be worried, so I didn't tell them about my injury," Lu Zhou said.

Nan Qiao gave him an apologetic look again, "Tell me in advance when you are discharged from the hospital, and I will arrange someone to come pick you up."

"Don't bother, I can do it myself."

"Don't always reject me, or I will feel guilty, and I don't know how to repay your kindness."

Nan Qiao was a little helpless in the face of this man who was injured because of saving himself.

She offered to give him an extra amount of compensation before, but he didn't want it, saying that the company would pay for work-related injuries... Now she wants to arrange someone to pick him up and leave the hospital, but he refuses...

In fact, Lu Zhou didn't refuse Nan Qiao deliberately, it was just a subconscious behavior.

Although Lu Zhou was unlucky for being injured this time, if he thought about it carefully, if it wasn't for this accident, he wouldn't be able to wake up.

It's an extra surprise.

Nan Qiao arranged a VIP ward for Lu Zhou and covered his medical expenses. Lu Zhou felt that she had done enough.

"What are your plans after you leave the hospital? I heard that you plan to terminate the contract with the company and stop working in the entertainment industry? Is it true?"

Nan Qiao cut to the next topic, looking at him with a hint of pitifulness and weakness in his eyes.

"..." Lu Zhou pondered for a moment, and said, "I did have this idea before. After all, I haven't improved at all after so many years, so I want to see other opportunities."

Nan Qiao paused slightly.

"After fighting for so many years, don't you think it's a pity to just give up like this?"

"I watched some of your practice room videos two days ago, and I feel that your personal strength is still good, but you lack a little luck and opportunities for exposure."

Lu Zhou has worked silently for so many years and has not received much attention in the company. It is indeed a bit commendable to be recognized by Nan Qiao today.

He smiled gratefully at her.

"I think so."

He responded confidently.

Falling down so many times, Lu Zhou almost forgot what self-confidence is like.

But today is different from the past, and now he has enough confidence in the future.

Nan Qiao laughed.

"Then don't give up easily."

"By the way, do you have a girlfriend?"

The sudden change of topic made Lu Zhou astonished.

"what?"

Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood something, Nan Qiao quickly added: "No, you shouldn't ask that. You should ask, have you ever been in love? Have you ever had an ex-girlfriend?"

Lu Zhou was still confused, why did she suddenly ask such a strange question?

He was deliberating in his heart whether to tell the other party the truth.

Nan Qiao finally realized that she was too presumptuous to ask. The topic of love is a sensitive topic for artists. Although Lu Zhou is just an artist who does not officially debut...but he still has the same concerns.

She couldn't help laughing, and took out a card from her handbag.

"It's like this. Here I have a recording opportunity for a love variety show. The assistant director of the show and I have a good personal relationship. I thought... If you need it, I can refer you to it as a repayment." This is the kindness that saved me for the first time."

"The first season of this romance drama was very popular, and now we are preparing to shoot the second season. It is still in the hot recruitment stage. I don't know if you have watched this show? The show is called "Swap? Ex."

Lu Zhou took the card handed over by Nan Qiao and glanced at it. It contained the contact information of the program team.

"I haven't watched it in its entirety, but I've heard of it and seen some clips of it."

When the first season of this variety show came out, it was indeed very popular, causing widespread heated discussions on the Internet.

The show is quite popular, but... as the name suggests, this show is called "Swap?""Predecessor", when you hear it, it is a variety show that will jump wildly on the emotional and moral lines...

Ordinary people would not dare to go on this kind of show, let alone artists who are afraid of collapse.

This is a game of human nature...

It's just... Lu Zhou is now a fool outside the [-]th line who has no such person in the entertainment industry. Who knows him?Why do you talk about collapsed houses?
"I wonder if you want to participate?"

"I personally think that you are short of an exposure opportunity, and you are planning to quit the entertainment circle. Why don't you give it a go and try to find a new way to stir up your personal popularity first?"

"This circle is very realistic. Without background and capital, it is sometimes difficult to be seen, but if you are famous first, the company will naturally see your business opportunities and provide you with better resources."

Nan Qiao looked at him with a smile, and as a senior, pointed him the way.

Lu Zhou leaned on the hospital bed, listened to Nan Qiao's words, and tightly squeezed the card in his hand.

She was right, this circle is very realistic and cruel.

In this life, he came from an ordinary background. If he wanted to get ahead in the entertainment industry, he was too conformist and would take many detours.

"Of course! The prerequisite for being able to participate in this show is that you have to have an ex-girlfriend."

"I don't know if you have any?"

Nan Qiao changed the topic and threw out a premise.

Lu Zhou pursed his lips, and a face appeared in his mind at this moment. After a while, he confessed: "There is one."

Nan Qiao raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Is it from the circle?"

"No."

"Amateurs?" Nan Qiao smiled, "That's great, the guests in the first season are all amateurs. Could it be that you just broke up not long ago?"

"No, I haven't contacted you for a long time."

"Then this is better. There are fewer emotional entanglements, and it is reasonable to find a new partner on the show. Whether it is for you or her, the pressure of public opinion will be much less."

Lu Zhou didn't answer immediately, he was hesitating in his heart and looked embarrassed.

"Even if I am willing, she probably won't be willing to participate."

When Nan Qiao heard this, he didn't agree with him.

"Don't be so quick to deny it, it's hard to talk about personal wishes."

"You can sign up first, just provide your ex-girlfriend's contact information to the program team, and they will have someone to contact her and evaluate her situation, such as whether she is single now, etc..."

"However, as long as you're not married, it's not a big problem if you're single... After all, some people will break up temporarily just to be on the show."

Nan Qiao said and laughed.

"If your ex-girlfriend meets the requirements to be on the show, they will arrange someone to do ideological work for her. The show team is very good at persuading others to be on the show, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

Nan Qiao spread her hands, "Of course, if she really doesn't want to participate, there's nothing she can do about it, but I think you can try it first, and you won't die if you try."

Lu Zhou: "..."

Seems to make sense.

At this time, Nan Qiao's cell phone rang, and her manager called to urge her to leave.

"I still have work to do, so I have to go first."

"Think about what I just told you. Although this drama is controversial, it is very popular. All the guests who participated in the first season, regardless of their reputation, are basically popular."

"The show made a lot of money in the first season, so now they have a lot more requirements for guests in the second season."

"Breakup couples with too ordinary identities and few emotional topics apply for registration. It is very difficult for the initial review. It can be said to be one in a million."

"So, you know, if you miss this opportunity, there may not be a next time."

"If you decide to participate, you should first sign up with the program team, and then come and tell me, I will help you and the program team to say hello, I may not be able to help you, but it is still possible to ensure that you enter the final selection Yes, the rest is up to you to play yourself."

Nan Qiao got up and left.

Silence returned to the ward.

All this happened so suddenly, Lu Zhou fell into a vortex of thinking.

Ex-girlfriend……
