Mr. Zhou Doesn't Want to Work Hard Anymore!

Agreeing to Lu Ji's invitation, Zhou Chenxi went to Lu Ji's mother's birthday party until the weekend.

He purposely picked out a more formal suit—which was difficult for him, since his closet was full of loose casual and cheap frills.

The latter is because it was really miserable to break into the entertainment circle in the past.The former is because I found that this kind of clothes are really comfortable, so I bought several pieces at once, and threw them away when they were worn out, without careful maintenance.Unlike the clothes in my brother's closet, every time my aunt took them out and ironed them, it took a long time, which increased the workload for nothing.

Zhi Qi specially found someone to wear that suit for Zhou Chenxi. He said that as an actor, he always needs several sets of formal clothes in his closet. What if he attends an award ceremony?

So Zhiqi's spring and autumn dream didn't come true, Zhou Chenxi wore this dress to celebrate Lu Ji's mother's birthday.

Zhi Qi drove the car, and on the way to send Zhou Chenxi to the Lu family's villa, he sighed again and again: "We are attending an important occasion, right? Don't lose the chain, how can Lu's investment projects in the entertainment industry also account for it?" You can’t afford to offend half of our industry, and when you go there, don’t be too big or small, and remember to say hello when you see people.”

Of course this person refers to Mrs. Lu, Lu Ji's mother. Zhou Chenxi didn't know this yet, and said, "Yeah!" "I know!" Zhiqi looked like an old lady.

Zhi Qi's impression of the relationship between Zhou Chenxi and Lu Ji still stays at the time of "Carp" recording.

He didn't participate in the whole filming of the show, so of course he doesn't know how far the "friendship" between Zhou Chenxi and Lu Ji has progressed.

Like the viewers who follow variety shows on TV, the news is lagging behind. I thought that Lu Ji was because Zhou Chenxi had frequent accidents during the recording of "Actor School", so he took care of him more in "Carp". , Naturally, what to do.

Lu Ji is still a high-ranking benefactor, and Zhou Chenxi is still a poor and exploited class in the entertainment industry.

Zhou Chenxi was picked up by Zhi Qi almost as soon as he entered the circle, and Zhi Qi also watched him grow up in the circle, and he has a kind of mentality of being a parent.

Today's Mrs. Lu's birthday party was attended by many insiders. Lu Ji, as the father of a well-known funder, naturally many people rushed to "flatter".

Therefore, invitations are distributed for this birthday party, and those without invitations cannot enter.

Zhi Qi considered himself a manager with a keen sense of touch, and Zhou Chenxi was present at such occasions, so it was impossible for him not to be there, so he also tried to find a way to ask Lu for an invitation.

I thought the process would be very tortuous, but I didn't expect that Mrs. Lu would give it to him without hesitation.

The person in charge of distributing the invitations was the people from the marketing department of the Lu Corporation. As soon as they heard that Zhi Qi was Zhou Chenxi's manager, they immediately sent someone to deliver the invitations to the gate of Tianwang Entertainment, without asking Zhi Qi to pick them up by himself.

Zhiqi 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 to get it.Individually, they are all famous figures in the entertainment industry. They help their own artists to get invitations. It's like queuing up at the door of a roast duck restaurant to get discount coupons. Everyone is crowded, and some people may not be able to get them.

Those who get it are proud, and those who can't get it are dejected.

The terrifying ecology of the entertainment industry was vividly staged in the corridor at the entrance of Lu's Market Department.

In such a comparison, Zhiqi's mood is vaguely subtle.

Zhou Chenxi was personally invited by Mr. Lu, and he didn't even know what the invitation was.Combined with Lu's attitude towards Zhiqi's initiative to send invitations - honestly, if it weren't for this incident, Zhiqi couldn't believe that Zhou Chenxi could be invited without invitations, he thought Zhou Chenxi At first I was bragging with him.

But no matter how you do it, it’s always right to be cautious. This is Zhi Qi’s principles and experience in dealing with things in the industry. Of course, the manager should mention his own artists in a timely manner, so as to prevent Zhou Chenxi from knowing when he offends others.

Talking all the way to the gate of Lu's house, Zhi Qi found a place to park in the wide parking lot, and said to Zhou Chenxi while reversing the car: "Huo, this parking lot is too big, there must be several cars that can park. Ten cars."

Zhou Chenxi lacked 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 thought it was too dangerous and said it would be safe to take a commercial airliner, so the helipad was abandoned. .

Later, Zhou Chenxi had the impression that the helicopter had gone somewhere, but Zhou’s mother asked someone to shovel the apron and said that she wanted to plant flowers. Later, she said that she wanted to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables, because the vegetables she grew were healthy, and the only sane and still Zhou Mingxuan stopped him.

Zhou's mother can't even take care of her troubled youngest son, Zhou Chenxi, let alone grow vegetables in a greenhouse.

Now that part is handed over to Butler Chang, because it's a bit far away from the main building of Zhou's house, and Zhou Chenxi is a complete lazy bastard. He just lays down in the bedroom when he gets home. He hasn't set foot there for several years, so he doesn't know where he is now. Is there any grass.

But Zhou Chenxi is very interested in the places where Lu Ji lived.

I heard that Lu Ji grew up in Lu's house when he was a child, and moved out alone when he became an adult, but after all, Mrs. Lu is here, so Lu Ji will still come back and live in it from time to time, such as today's birthday party.

The two walked through the garden and walked outside the main building of the Lu residence. Someone came over and asked them to show their invitation.

Zhi Qi was digging into his pocket, when Lu Ji's secretary came out: "Mr. Zhou was invited by Mr. Lu, please let him in."

The security at the gate let them in as promised.

Zhiqi took out half of the invitation, and stuffed it back without embarrassment.

After entering the door, Zhou Chenxi realized that Lu's house was different from theirs.

The area is about the same size as their house, but it lacks a little human touch. Many corners are empty and there are no decorations. Unlike Zhou Chenxi's house, the ugly picture that Zhou Chenxi drew when he was a child is still hanging 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, and Lu Ji's secretary came over directly and said, "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lu is still in the company. Come up with me and wait."

Zhou Chenxi stood up.

Zhi Qi was anxious and wanted to go up with Zhou Chenxi, but was stopped by the secretary raising his hand: "Mr. Zhi, there are self-service snacks in the back garden, you can go there to rest first."

This meant that he didn't intend to let him go upstairs, Zhiqi's expression was not right, Zhou Chenxi patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "You stay here, I will come down when Lu Ji comes back!"

Zhi Qi looked at the secretary, then at Zhou Chenxi, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Is this the attitude a rich man in the entertainment industry should have towards a starlet?

Zhou Chenxi gave him a look of "Relax", and followed the secretary upstairs with confidence.

Zhi Qi turned around in a circle and saw the manager of actress Xie Xueyu standing not far away. He quickly put his doubts behind him and hurried up to say hello.

Zhou Chenxi sat on the upstairs balcony for a while, not daring to wander around, and soon Lu Ji came up from downstairs.

He seemed to have just finished work, and loosened the tie around his neck as he came over: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No?" Zhou Chenxi hurriedly stood up, "The sun is shining today, like a painting."

Zhou Chenxi pointed to the sunset outside: "I can't help admiring it a little more."

Lu Ji looked outside and laughed.

"Well, you're right," Lu Ji suddenly remembered Zhou Chenxi's painting on the show before, "Speaking of painting, didn't you secretly paint me? When will you show me the painting?"

They were all publicly executed by the program crew, and it was impossible to hide it from Lu Ji, Zhou Chenxi hurriedly said: "I brought you a gift, and your mother's, they are all in the Zhiqi car, I'll go get them right away! "

Lu Ji said, "Let my secretary get it."

The secretary quickly went downstairs at Lu Ji's order, asked Zhi Qi for the car keys, and took out several large bags of presents in his trunk.

Two bags belonged to Zhi Qi. He gave women perfume and skin care products, and the other two bags belonged to Zhou Chenxi. The bags looked similar from the outside, and I didn't know what was inside.

"This is for your mother," Zhou Chenxi picked up one of the bags, took out the box inside, and motioned Lu Ji to look at the logo on it, "Bag."

"Although I know you don't like my spending 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 am not Said aunt, because every time I buy a gift for my mother, I have a headache. She always dislikes the one I bought. You can’t go wrong with buying bags and perfume, and the perfume Zhiqi has already been given away!”

Although Zhou Chenxi helped him choose the perfume, and also paid for it along the way: "That's why I bought the bag," Zhou Chenxi continued, "My mother likes this bag the most, and people of the same age should have the same vision. "

Lu Ji casually glanced at the brand, luxury.

If he opened the box, he would find that the bag Zhou Chenxi gave him was a limited edition this autumn.

— Forget it, there's no need to remind him to save money today, it's all on his mind.

Lu Ji thought about it, and then asked Zhou Chenxi, "Where's mine?"

Zhou Chenxi became more careful, held another bag to his lap, and pulled out a picture frame from it.

"This is for you, um..." Zhou Chenxi said shyly, "You can't dislike me for not drawing well, otherwise I will be glassy!"

Lu Ji was quickly attracted by the picture frame in Zhou Chenxi's hand.

It was a colorful painting, framed with a glazed frame, seemingly simple and low-key, but it would glow brightly in the sun, as if to set off the person in the painting—in the painting, Lu Ji was sitting casually, With half of his side face exposed, one hand rests lightly on his chin, his eyes are slightly downcast, very gentle.

Lu Ji has never seen himself like this in a painting.

He most often sees himself in the mirror in the morning. He gets up in a hurry every day, washes up in a hurry, just to start his busy and oppressive day.

Sometimes Lu Ji would look in the mirror and think, who is he? He has lived in this world far beyond ordinary people. For him, the meaning of life, which is only once in a lifetime, no longer exists.

The second is in magazines.

Some magazines often invite him to do exclusive interviews and ask him to take photos.

Lu Ji is the person in charge of the Lu family, and these are daily routines for him.

Occasionally, photographers who took pictures of him praised him for being handsome, but Lu Ji didn't care. He cared more about what he saw in the mirror every day.

He was pushed hard by time, it seemed that he always knew what would happen in the future, and it seemed that he could not avoid similar things from happening again.

He experienced despair again and again.

For a while, Lu Ji didn't dare to look at himself in the mirror.

until he saw the painting.

This painting is not perfect. Zhou Chenxi hasn't practiced painting systematically for a long time, and his skills are already rusty. Fortunately, Lu Ji only has a rough idea of ​​painting appreciation, and he doesn't notice those experts.

He only noticed that for the first time someone looked at himself from this new angle instead of him, and the person in the painting shone brightly——he realized that this was how Zhou Chenxi saw himself.

"Do you like it?" Zhou Chenxi asked him cautiously with his hands behind his back.

He tried his best not to let Lu Ji see that his two hands hidden behind his back were nervously mingled together: "This is the picture I drew on the show! In fact, there are two other pictures, both of which are waste drafts. The first The first one is not very good. I haven’t drawn for a long time and I need to practice my hands. The second one is okay. This is this one. I’m still a little dissatisfied. I can draw better."

Zhou Chenxi was a little regretful, and sighed: "I am in a hurry to give you a gift, and I want to take this time to surprise you, so I can only do this first..."

"I like it very much," Lu Ji said seriously, "I really like it."

What he said was precious and important.

"Really?" Zhou Chenxi's eyes lit up, and he said, "By the way, I have another gift for you. I picked another one, because I thought it would be too shabby to give only paintings, and I was afraid that you would say I wasted money indiscriminately, this is not expensive, it is my heart, I will give it to you together now, if it is not too good, don’t dislike it~”

Zhou Chenxi took out a small box and handed it to Lu Ji.

Lu Ji opened it in front of him, and there was a pair of cuffs lying inside.

This brand is really not very expensive, it is far from the bag given to Mrs. Lu, but the cufflinks are very delicate, it can be seen that they were carefully selected.

"Would you like to try it?" Zhou Chenxi stretched his neck and said, "The lady at the counter said it is very suitable for business people. I looked at it and thought it would suit you."

Lu Ji casually took off the pair of cufflinks worth hundreds of thousands on his sleeve and threw them aside.

Zhou Chenxi went up to help him put it on.

He often gave these to his brother, and they looked familiar when they were worn. After wearing them, Zhou Chenxi took a step back and looked at them.

Sure enough, the price is different, but there is still a difference in temperament. Lu Ji's suit looks like it was custom-made, and he has to pay more attention to matching cuff buttons.

Not as good as the pair I gave my brother last month.

The critical Zhou Chenxi became more and more dissatisfied, and said with a dejected face, "Let's put it back first."

But Lu Ji straightened his sleeves and put them down: "It's okay, that's it, it's pretty, really."

He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost time, so he said, "Let's go down first."

"Okay." Zhou Chenxi straightened her clothes and followed Lu Ji downstairs.

Lu Ji glanced at the suit on his body, and suddenly his heart moved, and he stretched out one of his arms maliciously.

Zhou Chenxi: "Why?"

"Let's go down together, you are a distinguished guest." Lu Ji said.

Although he didn't understand what this had to do with his arm, Zhou Chenxi still reached out and put it on.

Lu Ji seems to really take him seriously, so happy.

Think of it as etiquette, Zhou Chenxi thought, anyway, he would often hold his brother's arm when attending family banquets.

A good brother can also use another form of hooking the shoulders.

"You look good today." Lu Ji said slowly.It is more beautiful than the afterglow of the sunset.

Zhou Chenxi was praised, and instantly swelled up. It was rare for him to be humble: "So-so, third in the world!"

Lu Ji: "..."

The author has something to say: Mr. Lu: I can't move.
