Reborn to choose a career, I choose to be the most popular female star

She didn't expect it to be so smooth. Lu Zheng really agreed to her request for a relationship and didn't seem to be joking.

She didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally said only two words: "Thank you."

After the agreement was reached, the two stood facing each other, but no one spoke for nearly a minute. Perhaps because the relationship was confirmed too suddenly, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Then you go ahead and do your work." Jiang Linyu pointed to the direction of the crew's dressing room and said, "I'm going to take off my makeup first and find a place to live."

"Um"

After watching her go in, Lu Zheng stood there for a long time. After a while, he called Assistant Gao.

"Gao Xiaoming"

As soon as he heard Lu Zheng calling his full name, Assistant Gao on the other end of the phone suddenly woke up.

"Boss Lu, what, what happened?"

"Have you ever been in love?" Lu Zheng said stiffly.

"Ah?" Assistant Gao was confused for a while, and then confirmed that he had not heard it before: "Well, Mr. Lu, I am already married."

After a moment of silence, Lu Zheng asked stiffly, "What do we need to do on the day of confirming the relationship?"

Assistant Gao hesitated for a long time, then recalled: "We had a date, had dinner together, and then exchanged flowers."

"Is it necessary?" Lu Zheng asked

"That's not true..."

As soon as Jiang Linyu entered the dressing room, the makeup artist said to her excitedly: "You acted really well just now, so amazing"

"Thank you," she smiled and went over to sit down, "Could you please help me remove my hair accessories and makeup?"

"Of course," the makeup artist said as she removed her makeup, "If I had known you acted so well, I would have scheduled more performances for you today."

Jiang Linyu roughly figured out from the shooting schedule that senior actors and those with bigger names would be given priority in the good time periods, and her part was broken up into small parts.

But this is probably the industry practice and common practice, and it is understandable.

"Excuse me, do you know of any houses nearby that can be rented out for a short period of time?"

The makeup artist looked a little surprised: "Didn't the crew arrange a room for you? There are also spare rooms available for you to apply for."

“The quota is full”

In fact, everyone in the circle knows that when it comes to quotas, it definitely depends on status, background, and relationships. So after hearing what Jiang Linyu said, it was too clear that she really didn't have any background resources, otherwise she wouldn't even have a room.

The makeup artist thought for a moment and pointed out the approximate location to Jiang Linyu.

“On the right side of the film and television base, across the street where people eat, there are many single apartments behind. You can move in with just your luggage, the price is not expensive, and it is also convenient to eat.”

Jiang Linyu nodded: "Thank you, I'll go take a look later"

It was more than half an hour later when I changed clothes and removed my makeup.

She dragged her suitcase out of the film and television base, ready to find a house in the place suggested by the makeup artist.

As I was walking, the window of a car parked on the side of the road slowly rolled down.

Seeing Lu Zheng in the car, Jiang Linyu was slightly stunned: "Mr. Lu? Why haven't you left yet?"

"Well, I haven't eaten yet."

"Oh, I'll go first then."

Looking at Jiang Linyu's receding back, Lu Zheng hesitated for a long time and restarted the car.

Jiang Linyu was almost at the apartment area when he saw Lu Zheng's car heading towards him. When it passed next to him, he suddenly slowed down and drove slowly.

"Mr. Lu, is there anything else?" she asked doubtfully.

Lu Zheng did not answer but asked: "Where are you going? I can take you there."

"Thank you, no thanks, I'm just looking for a house here"

Lu Zheng looked at the apartment she was pointing at. The exterior walls were uniformly painted with cheap, conspicuous blue paint. The small rooms were neatly arranged in a staggered pattern, barely enough for a place to sleep.

Lu Zheng, who is well versed in the entertainment industry, could probably guess why she needed to come here to find a place to stay. But she didn't expect that she really had no resources or background at all, and couldn't even get a hotel room provided by the crew.

"Do you need my help?"

According to Lu Zheng's habit, he would not take the initiative to help unless the other party asked. But today, he unexpectedly spoke up.

He didn't even need to show up. He could just ask Assistant Gao to say hello and the best hotel would be arranged for her.

"Okay, then you can help me go and look at the house with the landlord. It's safer with more people," Jiang Linyu said

Lu Zheng was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the help he mentioned was understood by her as going to see a house together.

He looked at the densely packed youth apartments, thought for a moment and nodded.

After parking the car in the parking space, he and Jiang Linyu started walking towards the apartment.

According to the phone number provided by the makeup artist, Jiang Linyu contacted the landlord here and asked him to take him to see some single legs.

They all looked basically the same, so to save some money she finally booked the cheapest one for 900 yuan.

After the landlord left, Lu Zheng glanced at the small, dim single room, wanting to say something but stopping himself. If he hadn't come with her today, he wouldn't have known that these places could be lived in.

"It's much more expensive here than in the urban village. The two-bedroom apartment we live in only costs 650 yuan."

Jiang Linyu had already started cleaning, talking as he tidied.

"But ours has also gradually increased. At the beginning, it was only 500 yuan a month."

"500 yuan?"

This was indeed something Lu Zheng had not expected. The meals that Assistant Gao ordered for him every day were more expensive than this.

After Jiang Linyu packed up briefly, he clapped his hands and looked at him: "Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

The two chatted casually as they walked towards the food street.

"Mr. Lu, where do you live?"

The "Jianhua Road" road sign casually mentioned a property

"The rent shouldn't be cheap, right? Is it close to your company?"

Shenzhen's housing prices are the highest in China and the world, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to buy a house. Jianhua Road is close to Shenzhen's CBD, and the housing prices are even higher in Shenzhen.

Judging from the car Lu Zheng was driving and the fact that he was staying in a motel that night, we can tell that he is an ordinary office worker and probably rents a house.

However, since you have confirmed your relationship, it is still necessary to understand the other person's consumption concept.

"Yeah," he simply responded.

Jiang Linyu couldn't tell the brand of his clothes, but from his words and actions, he could guess that he was a person who had certain requirements for the quality of life.

So when she invites guests to choose a restaurant, she gives priority to those with better ambience.

"I see there's a Western restaurant, a Japanese restaurant, and a private restaurant in front. Why don't we pick one?"

“Just a private restaurant”

After the two arrived at the restaurant, they ordered and the dishes were served quickly.

While eating, Jiang Linyu suddenly received a call from her father. Thinking about the topic between father and daughter, there was nothing that others couldn't hear, so she decided to answer it directly here.

"Can I take a call from my dad?"

"Hmm" Lu Zheng made a gesture to do as he pleased.

As soon as she answered the phone, she heard Jiang Dajun's joy and excitement beyond words.

"Lin Yu, have you eaten?"

"I was just eating, what's wrong, Dad?"

"Dad, let me tell you, the skewers you asked me to make before, all the customers who tried them said they were delicious, and many of them asked for more."

Although Jiang Linyu didn't turn on the hands-free mode, Lu Zheng, who was sitting next to her, could still hear what was said. From the sound of her voice, Jiang Linyu's father should be an honest and hardworking man.

"I just calculated that the profit from skewers accounted for half of the profit last month, and many people come here just to eat skewers. I never expected that."

After hearing this, Jiang Linyu was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Dad, you are such a good cook, it's normal for you to be liked."

"Hahaha, I still have to rely on you to come up with this idea. So your mom and I discussed it and decided to just turn it into a kebab shop. The profit is much higher than cooking. I just wanted to discuss it with you."

Jiang Linyu quickly calculated the time in his mind. There were still a few months before the government relocated and customers returned, so now was the right time to open a barbecue restaurant.

By turning it into a barbecue restaurant now, I can accumulate customers and fame in advance, and then expand the store and hire people for help once the business is stable.

"I think it's okay, but it might be more tiring at night. Thank you for your hard work."

"Why work so hard? As long as we can make money, it won't be hard at all. Let's prepare tomorrow."

Jiang Dajun was in high spirits, with none of the sadness he had felt last month.

"When your college entrance exam results come out, you can choose which university you want to attend and earn some extra tuition fees."

"Don't worry about the tuition fees. My salary is enough for the film." Jiang Linyu said, "Save the money, and we will find an opportunity to buy the store later."

Lu Zheng was born into a family with no worries about food and clothing. Before this, he had never talked about such down-to-earth topics with his family members, and they rarely even listened.
