After resting in the room for a while, someone knocked on the door outside.
Zhou Chenxi walked over to open the door.
It was Lu Ji. He stood outside the door with one hand in his pocket and said to Zhou Chenxi, “They told us to go down.”
“The director group?” Zhou Chenxi rubbed his eyes and leaned over to listen to the corridor outside. It was quite and still, as if there were only two of them.
“Everyone else has already gone down.” Lu Ji said.
Zhou Chenxi had just been lying on the bed and a small tuft of his hair curled up in a mess. It might be that he hadn’t slept enough in the car or he moved too fast, but he was confused and his voice sounded a little nasal: “Oh, then I’ll be down right away.”
Lu Ji’s gaze flashed across the messy hair on top of his head. He was tempted to stretch out his hand to help him press it down: “Then I’ll wait for you outside.”
Zhou Chenxi woke up in an instant and hurriedly said, “Right away!”
He hurriedly went back to take a look in the mirror and saw the messy hair. He took a small comb and combed it for himself and then told Lu Ji: “Let’s go!”
Lu Ji nodded and glanced at the top of his head again. The soft light flaxen short hair was already obedient and looked exceptionally well-behaved.
Lu Ji moved his fingers, turned around, and went downstairs one step ahead of him.
Zhou Chenxi followed him drowsily, thinking to himself, Mr. Lu’s back looks wide, so he should be in good shape with his clothes off, right?
He wondered how far had Luo Xinghe and his harem developed.
It seemed that these were not written in the novel, probably for fear of being reviewed and locked.
Hey, it was a little regretful.
While he was thinking about it, Lu Ji in front of him suddenly stopped: “Have you found the cup?”
“Ah?” Zhou Chenxi was startled.
Lu Ji conjured a bottle of mineral water from somewhere like magic: “This is sponsored. It has been placed in all conspicuous places in the inn. Just take it if you want to drink.”
Zhou Chenxi took the bottle of mineral water in wonder.
This brand of mineral water… seems to belong to Lu family, right?
But he remembered that he didn’t see any mineral water in the room when he entered the door. Zhuang Jingle also didn’t mention that there was this brand of mineral water when he read the oral broadcast just now?
Could it be because Mr. Lu was thirsty and wanted to drink water, so he temporarily brought in their company’s mineral water for sponsorship?
As expected of the overbearing president.
Zhou Chenxi “hahaha”ed in his heart for a while, then followed Lu Ji to the kitchen.
When they got there, everyone was already there. Zhuang Jingle was said to have other tasks and disappeared. The other three people were worried in front of a pile of dishes in the middle of the kitchen.
“Which one of you can cook?” Ren Qian raised his hand and said, “I said in advance that I can’t. I’m afraid I’ll blow up the kitchen.”
Shao Yunyi spread out her hands: “Neither can I, don’t count on me.”
Everyone looked at Luo Xinghe.
Luo Xinghe temporarily decided to participate in this show. He was a reborn transmigrator. He knew all the plot directions of this book. He knew that among the few people in front of him, Ren Qian and Lu Ji would be a part of his harem in the future. He also knew that Zhou Chenxi had always been a stepping stone on his way to success.
Some people were born to be the protagonist.
Luo Xinghe was just an ordinary actor before transmigrating to the book. He was not considered a successful person. Even in the real world, he was not much better than Zhou Chenxi. But after he came to this world, he suddenly had the luck of koi.
At first, he couldn’t believe it, but then he observed it and found that the world was exactly the same as it was written in the book.
Luo Xinghe had already lived a lifetime in the book. He knew that when Zhou Chenxi lost his use value, there would be a steady stream of new supporting characters in front of him in the future, paving the way for him and helping him succeed.
Luo Xinghe, who had read the full text, knew that this was actually an upgraded novel that seemed to buy stocks1买股: buy stocks/shares. It’s used as a metaphor to guess the final cp. If you lose money, it means you guessed wrong. The final cp in the story needs to be guessed by the readers. The protagonist in the story will have multiple love lines, for example, a shou may be entangled with several gong at the same time., but in fact has no CP. The protagonist Luo Xinghe would eventually abandon all the harem members and become an actor. He used the resources at hand to acquire the two largest group companies today, Lu’s and Zhou Xin, to dominate the business empire.
Luo Xinghe, who had reached the end of his previous life, panicked at first. He thought that he would return to his original world, but later he found out that he had not and was actually reborn instead.
After being reborn, Luo Xinghe was ecstatic. He did not abandon his ambitions. He would not get tired of this kind of cool literary path if he walked 10,000 times.
Luo Xinghe saw that Zhou Chenxi was unresponsive and said helplessly: “Neither can I.”
In fact, he could. Not only could he, but he could also cook good dishes. This was a skill that the protagonist of the original book had already mastered. Even later, he relied on this skill to win Lu Ji. Lu Ji, who suffered from stomach problems because he was too busy at work, was successfully impressed by him.
But this time the plan had changed and he intended to pretend first.
Zhou Chenxi looked at Luo Xinghe in surprise.
He remembered that Luo Xinghe knew how to cook.
“What are you looking at me for?” Luo Xinghe looked at him and said, “I really can’t.”
Zhou Chenxi was a change in his plan.
He didn’t know why Zhou Chenxi didn’t follow the original plot in the book. At this time, he should have been competing with himself for the advertising endorsement of a shampoo brand, but of course he would fail in the end.
This time Zhou Chenxi was not there, Luo Xinghe almost failed to win the endorsement.
And recently, he didn’t seem to be so lucky. Zhou Chenxi didn’t come. He lost his confidence and there were a lot of voices questioning him on the Internet.
Therefore, “If the mountain doesn’t come to me, I’ll go to the mountain.”, he took the initiative to apply to join the variety show that Zhou Chenxi had just taken over.
Sure enough, Zhou Chenxi was there and his luck was much better. The producer Zhu Fang quickly agreed and signed a contract with him.
Regardless of whether Luo Xinghe would cook or not, as long as Luo Xinghe said no, Zhou Chenxi would have to go against him.
“Then…I will!” Zhou Chenxi said categorically.
Luo Xinghe: “……??”
“So, are there any other tasks?” Ren Qian said from the side, “The rest of us can’t cook. We can’t just let Xiao Zhou do everything alone. Or can we just help him out?”
As everyone was discussing, Zhuang Jingle came in from outside. He was carrying a few sets of jumpsuits in his hand and said to them: “I’m here, I’ve just asked for you. There is a lotus pond not far from the town. It’s a good time to pick lotus roots. Tomorrow we will cook a few dishes about lotus roots. If you don’t know how to cook, come with me to pick lotus roots!”
“None of us can cook, only Xiao Zhou can…” Shao Yunyi said awkwardly.
“Me too,” Lu Ji rolled up his sleeves, “The two of us will stay, you guys go pick lotus roots.”
And so the grouping was settled.
While wearing a jumpsuit, Luo Xinghe regretted that he didn’t say that he could cook too. He originally came for Zhou Chenxi and he heard that the lotus pond was full of mud, he would definitely be a mess by then.
Luo Xinghe turned his head and glanced at Lu Ji and Zhou Chenxi next to him.
It turned out that Lu Ji could also cook. This was something Luo Xinghe never expected. Originally, this was a good opportunity to bribe Lu Ji while cooking, but he forcibly missed it.
But it didn’t matter. Accidents were inevitable. In his previous life, he also encountered situations that deviated from the plot of the original book. In the end, he relied on his koi luck to get back on track. He believed that there would be no big problems in this life…
The kitchen became much emptier after a few people left. Zhou Chenxi followed Lu Ji’s example and also straightened his sleeves like Lu Ji, saying to Lu Ji: “Mr. Lu, are you in charge of cooking or am I in charge? In fact, I can do a little bit of everything. It’s a trifle to cut vegetables and fry a few dishes.”
Lu Ji said, “I can do it all.”
“Then let’s prepare the ingredients together first?” Zhou Chenxi suggested.
Lu Ji nodded and the two began to get busy.
Zhou Chenxi thought that President Lu was pampered and should not be familiar with the kitchen, but when he expertly tied on the apron prepared for him by the program team, raised the kitchen knife and started cutting vegetables on the counter with a “dong dong dong” sound, he realized that what President Lu said was true.
A serious man was handsome. Zhou Chenxi couldn’t help but watch from the sideline for a while and sighed: “I thought the president couldn’t cook.”
His older brother definitely would not. Letting Zhou Mingxuan cook, as Ren Qian said, might directly put the kitchen on fire.
Lu Ji said, “Why can’t I cook?”
Because the novel didn’t say you can, ah.
Zhou Chenxi complained in his heart. Could it be that Lu Ji was an old driver2老司机: Old driver; It means a veteran in the industry, and it is commendable to those who are experienced in various rules, content, techniques, and gameplay. who deliberately pretended that he couldn’t cook. He was moved by a few dishes made by Luo Xinghe and then willingly accepted him as a harem member?
Zhou Chenxi curled his lips.
Thinking about it this way, id didn’t seem like a big deal to be able to cook.
Unless it was his male god and master of the food area, Teacher Wang Gang, no one could impress him.
“Because I had to be independent, I learned to take care of myself. Are you satisfied with this reason?” Lu Ji laughed.
Zhou Chenxi was startled for a moment.
He suddenly remembered that Lu Ji’s life was not very good. As a wealthy man, the Lu family was full of intrigue everywhere.
But at that time, he only paid attention to the affairs of the Zhou family and some of Lu Ji’s plots were skipped, so he didn’t pay much attention to them.
Perhaps Lu Ji was like him and also had a dark time.
Zhou Chenxi took care of his pink apron-he was a little puzzled about how this apron got to him. It seemed that the program team had just handed them two aprons, one blue and one pink. Lu Ji took the blue one without looking at it and handed the pink one to Zhou Chenxi.
He was busy thinking about things just now and didn’t have time to care about it.……
But he had already put them on and didn’t bother to take them off.
“I learned to cook because I love to eat…” Zhou Chenxi was an invisible chatterbox. He couldn’t help but babble about something when he did things, “My senior… No, it’s before that. When I was bored when I didn’t have any show, I just stayed at home and learned how to cook. In fact, it was also because it was cheaper to cook by myself! But I’m lazy. Most of the recipes I watch are lazy recipes. Such as lazy tamagoyaki3Tamagoyaki is a type of Japanese omelette which is made by rolling together several layers of fried beaten eggs., lazy stewed rice4焖饭: Menfan; Stewed rice; It is a type of rice meal in which you cook the rice with abundant ingredients all at once., and so on. The normal food video is just for looking at the meal.”
Lu Ji’s hand that was cutting vegetables paused, remembering the way Zhou Chenxi had stood on the side of the road happily gnawing on a fruit pancake before. He smiled knowingly: “Then you are already great.”
Zhou Chenxi turned his head, his ears and cheeks were burning red.
——Why did Mr. Lu suddenly tease him!
What should he say at this time? Thanked him politely?
If he didn’t say anything it would be a little awkward, then why didn’t he just agree with it?
Thinking so, Zhou Chenxi nodded politely and said, “So are you.”
The surroundings gradually quieted down and the air around seemed to have solidified.
——Ah, ah, it seems even more embarrassing. Zhou Chenxi, are you a pig?
——So are you! You are also great!
Zhou Chenxi was cutting vegetables viciously while thinking to himself, why on earth were they try to blow each other up here!

The author has something to say: Congratulations to President Lu for his affirmation.
