“You can’t break your contract,” Zhi Qi said indifferently. “Lu Group’s side already said when they sent the contract. If you choose to withdraw from this variety show, then they will most likely consider replacing the person who plays Liuli.”
“Why?” Zhou Chenxi was angry, “Isn’t this an overlord clause1霸王条款: Overlord Clause; an unfair clause or unbalanced clause. Meaning unequal forms of contracts unilaterally formulated by some operators to evade statutory obligations and reduce their own responsibilities, restricting consumers’ rights and seriously infringing on the interests of the masses.?”
“Which sweet potato do you think you are? Is it worth others to use the overlord clause?” Zhi Qi was also angry, “What good is it for them to bully you? For a bunch of bad luck?”
Zhou Chenxi was silent.
Zhi Qi felt that he had said a little too much, he coughed dryly and said, “I’m not forcing you. Think about it for yourself. The opportunity that is presented to you, the Lu Group made it clear that they want to take you around before the filming of ‘Journey of the Immortals’ started. Is Ren Qian easy to invite? Even Shao Yunyi, her schedule is full all year round. With so many stars carrying you, others have long thought that it’s a pie falling from the sky, how about you?”
“There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world…” Zhou Chenxi whispered, “And they can’t carry me, I’m so heavy.”
“You…” Zhi Qi said, “Think about it again.”
Zhou Chenxi laid on the bed, pondering Luo Xinghe’s recent itinerary.
He was originally lined up with advertising endorsements, auditions, and commercial activities during this period of time. Why did he suddenly participate in this show?
Could it be because Lu Ji had already taken a fancy to him at this time? Or was it because this show was going to be popular?
Zhou Chenxi faintly felt that the latter possibility was more likely.
After all, Lu Ji and Luo Xinghe hadn’t met much at this stage.
In the past, Zhou Chenxi would never believe the ‘any show Luo Xinghe fancied would be popular’ nonsense, but now that he knew about his koi physique, everything was different.
Zhou Chenxi suddenly became upset.
Was it necessary to give Luo Xinghe another chance that he finally got?
If he didn’t work hard, how would he know how much he would have failed?
Zhou Chenxi cheered himself up and called Zhou Mingxuan again: “Brother, do you have anything to say to me recently?”
Participating in this show, he felt most sorry for his own family.
Zhou Mingxuan’s laughter came from the other end of the phone: “What’s wrong with you? Is it because of the variety show you take on recently?”
Zhou Chenxi was startled: “How do you know?”
“Go ahead, just try your best. I have already told our parents. Although they don’t support it, they all know that it’s useless to persuade you. So now they’re angrily traveling abroad. It’s not a big deal.”
Zhou Chenxi: “…” It sounded like it’s not a big deal.
Knowing that Zhou Mingxuan was joking, he warmed up in his heart and said, “Brother, there is one thing I have been forgetting to tell you.”
“Hmm?” Zhou Mingxuan seemed to be busy, his voice a little casual.
“For all these years, thank you.”
The fountain pen that Zhou Mingxuan was holding in his hand unexpectedly slipped onto the table.
“Knock, knock–” Someone knocked on the door outside.
Zhou Mingxuan hung up the phone, straightened his tie, and said, “Come in.”
The secretary came in with a document, spread it out on the desktop, and handed it to Zhou Mingxuan: “President Zhou, this is the recent communication record of the young master you asked me to check before, as well as his recent social software browsing history and course of action. Do you need to continue to follow up this month?”
Zhou Mingxuan opened it at random and glanced at it. He thought for a while, then closed it and said, “No need.”
His younger brother had grown up and it’s time to let him grew up.
“Okay.” The secretary put away the folder, turned around, and prepared to leave.
“Wait,” Zhou Mingxuan suddenly stopped her, “Do you know…how to join a star’s fanclub?”
Secretary: “?”
After the official announcement of the lineup of “Red Carp and Green Carp”, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Zhou Chenxi discovered that his small transparent physique, sure enough, would only have a sense of existence only when he rubbed the heat of others.
[Ah ah ah ah Sister Yun! Is sister Yun finally going to go down to earth?]
[Movie emperor Ren is so diligent in his work. It couldn’t be that he has new movies going on recently, right?]
[Luo Xinghe! I like him so much! In particular, Zhang Xinxin, who he played in ‘The Stars Know My Heart’, is simply his true character. He also took the first place in the show “I Am an Actor” some time ago, didn’t he?]
[I think it’s shady. As far as his acting skills are concerned, many of the actors are older than him, and their acting skills are better than him. Have they been brushed off? Is it normal?]
[Be jealous, just be jealous, our LuoLuo is so great!]
[Zhuang Jingle is Lu Entertainment’s artist, right? According to gossip, Lu Ji, the president of the Lu Group, also participated in this show, so Zhuang Jingle is leading the funding group? The boss himself is promoting his own artist. Hell, what kind of plot is this? I’m going to brainstorm.]
[Don’t guess, I just read a gossip. It’s not true. Shao Yunyi and President Lu have been close since they were children. President Lu is on the show to chase his wife, right?]
[Ah this……]
[In any case, President Lu can be regarded as a typical tall, rich, and handsome man; a highly eligible bachelor, right? Look at this photo, I’m absolutely desperate [picture] Can you believe that I took it from a financial news newspaper, not a photo from a magazine? President Lu, I beg you, don’t start a company and make your debut!]
[President Lu, don’t start a company and make your debut +1]
[I have a hunch that Lu Group’s stock price will rise after the show is broadcast.]
[So, who is Zhou Chenxi?]
Zhou Chenxi flipped through it for a while before seeing his name in a comment pressed underneath.
Among the comments about the various guests discussing the discussion, this one was very abrupt, as if it didn’t belong to this world.
Zhou Chenxi waited silently for a while and found that no one answered. He took a deep breath and was about to switch to his trumpet to whisper to people, “He’s just a newcomer. In fact, he has also acted in some dramas, but they are not very famous.” Then he would throw on his Baidu Encyclopedia and posted his shameful resume of playing many supporting roles on costume dramas. When he refreshed it, he suddenly found that there were more replies below.
[@Zhou Chenxi Global Support Association: You don’t know Zhou Chenxi? Oh, you’ll know after watching this show [smile].]
“…” Zhou Chenxi stared at this smiling expression and the weird ID of the “Zhou Chenxi Global Support Association”, feeling a sense of mockery coming over him.
No way, he already has black powder before he starts to be red2Basically getting anti-fans(black powder) before getting popular(red)?
Zhou Chenxi hurriedly clicked on the profile page of this ID and found it empty, as if it was a newly registered account.
This black powder was more disrespectful than the zombie powder that Zhi Qi bought him. At least, the zombie powder would take care of Weibo and pretend to be a living person.
Maybe this was really his fan?
Zhou Chenxi followed this account with a trumpet.
If you were really a fan, you still had to have some posts.
Zhou Chenxi thought to himself as he watched the number of followers of the other party jumped from 0 to 1.

A few days later, the program “Red Carp and Green Carp” began to be recorded.
The lead role of the drama “Journey of the Immortals” had not yet been decided and it would take a while before filming starts.
Zhou Chenxi remembered that Director Qin spent a lot of time looking for the leading actor of this drama in his previous life, mainly because of the special temperament of Xianliu Jun. Coupled with Director Qin’s nitpicking, they finally settled on Gong Rui.
So this time, the Goddess of Luck actually descended on Zhou Chenxi’s head?
After all, the process of him taking the role of Liuli went smoothly; except for the accident in the elevator, of course
Zhou Chenxi was a lot happier when he thought of this possibility.
The number of guests participating in “Red Carp and Green Carp” was quite large. Shao Yunyi and Ren Qian’s circle was already big, each of them brought two assistants, even Zhuang Jingle who was so humble.
Not to mention Luo Xinghe, Huang Tian, worthy of being a large company, directly assigned him two assistants.
There were only Zhou Chenxi and Lu Ji who had no assistant behind them when they got out of the car.
The poor Zhou Chenxi brought an oversized suitcase. Zhi Qi said that he was going to do the styling on the show. He temporarily matched several sets of clothes for him, all of which were taken into photo albums and put in the box for him to wear by himself. Coupled with some miscellaneous things, his suitcase was extremely heavy.
Lu Ji was more put together with his medium-sized suitcase. When he got out of the car, his tall figure seemed to be automatically hit by a spotlight, and his stand-up collar casual clothes seemed to glow in the sun.
No wonder he didn’t need an assistant.
However, as the camera turned to the side, Zhou Chenxi struggled to get out of the car with the suitcase, and almost tripped over the obstacle on the door and fell down.
It wasn’t that he fell flat on his face. He didn’t know where this obstacle came from. It didn’t seem to be there just now and it was blocked by a big box. Zhou Chenxi couldn’t see it at all.
They had cameras shooting at them from the moment they got out of the car, the show had already started recording. Zhou Chenxi thought to himself, “It’s over. I’m going to fall on my face and eat mud in front of the national audience. Forget it. Forget it. When the time comes, I will land and roll up with a dazzling skill. As long as I’m not embarrassed, it’s others who are embarrassed.”
Suddenly a hand stretched out from the side to help him hold the heavy suitcase.
The expected fall did not come. Zhou Chenxi opened his eyes and looked up. First, he saw a pair of arms with smooth lines, and then he crashed into a pair of familiar dark black eyes.
The expression on Lu Ji’s face was faint, his jaw line cast a shadow under the sunlight, making the contours of his face more distinct: “Fortunately, I bought you a life insurance. But looking at you like this; the insurance company is very likely to accidentally lose money and face bankruptcy.”
Zhou Chenxi: “……”
After he found his footing, he looked back at the door of the car. Sure enough, a small fire extinguisher had fell down at some point.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, President Lu,” the staff member next to him hurriedly apologized. “The fire extinguisher in the car that was just equipped according to the regulations. It seems to be not fixed. I will move it right away.”
After all, Lu Ji was an investor and everyone has to take into account his feelings. Lu Ji glanced at the staff member and said lightly: “Check the other cars. It’s best that this kind of thing not happen again next time.”
“Yes!” The staff hurried away.
Zhou Chenxi felt a little guilty inexplicably.
After everyone arrived, everyone introduced themselves. Zhuang Jingle was responsible for being the host of the show. After all, he had his boss to cover.
While Zhuang Jingle introduced the rules and gameplay of the program in front of him, Zhou Chenxi quietly asked Lu Ji who was standing next to him: “President Lu, am I the only one in the entire program group who bought personal insurance?”
“To be precise,” Lu Ji said, “I purchased an additional personal insurance for you and it was funded by Lu family.”
Why? Because he was particularly unlucky?
Zhou Chenxi thought gloomily.
Or did President Lu heard him when he shouted on the road, “The program team should buy me a huge amount of life insurance”?
In this regard, Lu Ji was very happy to answer questions and solve his doubts: “If we buy it for others, they just go through a process at most. While buying it for you is very cost-effective.”
Zhou Chenxi: “…” So, it will save money.
It’s okay, he’s used to it.
Zhou Chenxi smiled firmly and comforted himself in his heart. Isn’t life just like this with its ups and downs?
