specially in this environment where every patient was anxious and restless. She couldn't cut the line and could only anxiously wait on the side, glancing at the clock from time to time to see when it..."Healthy diet combined with exercise, metabolism is kept up, it's hard to gain weight, you guys can do it too."

"That's right. You know, I lost 10 pounds in half a month for this role, just by dieting, which caused my hair to fall out severely and my period to stop. YaoYao, you have to be careful too. Long-term dieting like this definitely isn't good."

Lu Yaoyao felt she really shouldn't have come tonight. She wasn't going crazy dieting, she was just strictly managing her diet. A nutritionist had put together a day's worth of nutrients for her, which she followed diligently. If she occasionally ate too much in a day, she would communicate with the nutritionist and adjust the next day's diet.

Self-discipline is a little hard, but being able to maintain her figure on a healthy basis, she thinks it's great. This is also the reason why Lu Kuo and Gu Ruandong both let her do whatever she wants. If it were unhealthy dieting, none of the men in the family would agree.

Xu Shaohua and Qiao Jiao were chatting, but she herself was lost in thought, her mind wandering far away.

The assistant returned to the hotel first and sent her several messages asking what time she would be back. She replied with, "Give me a call."

Just sent it, and the assistant called right away.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong"

Lu Yao replied evasively and loudly, "Okay, I understand. I'll go back right away."

After hanging up the phone, he apologized to Qiao Jiao: "My manager is waiting for me to go back for a meeting. I'll treat you guys another day."

Qiao Jiao said, "Okay, go ahead."

"It's getting late, I should go back too," Xu Zhao also stood up.

"Alright." Qiaojiao got up and paid the bill, then returned to the hotel with them.

Three people walked back to the hotel, with Qiao Jiao leading the way.

The atmosphere was quite good, with lively conversation and laughter. Although Lu Yaoyao spoke less than usual today, she remained polite.

After Qiao Jiao left their floor, only Lu Yaoyao and Xu Zhao were left in the elevator. They stood side by side, both straight as arrows, the elevator's mirrored walls reflecting each other clearly. Lu Yaoyao wore an expression of indifference and pride, while Xu Zhao smiled faintly at her. Just as they were about to exit the elevator, she suddenly said, "Yaoyao, it's been almost a year since we last saw each other, hasn't it I don't remember doing anything to upset you, do I"

Her voice was very gentle, and her expression was good. But Lu Yaoyao felt that Xu Zhao was treating her as a willful child again, asking deliberately to show off her tolerance and magnanimity.

Lu Yaoyao has become smart now. She remains silent toward Xu Zhao, acting transparent, not saying a word. Because she knows no matter how she responds, Xu Zhao will find a way to "humiliate" her subtly. She learned her lesson from the morning incident at the dining hall.

Of course, she didn't answer. Xu Zhao also had a way, looking at her through the elevator's reflection mirror and smiling: "Yao Yao, why are you so cute."

Look, there she is again, looking down on me like I'm a child.

Actually, people like Lu Kuo or Zhuo Yu'an Tinglan also treat her like a child who hasn't grown up. But she accepts being treated like a child because they are kind. As for Xu Zhao, who is the same age as her, she feels malice from him.

Later, a long time after, someone told her: You said it yourself, you felt that way.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, her assistant stood by the entrance, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. When she saw Xu Zhao coming out with her, she tried to retract the smile, but couldn't, making it look rather eerie.

Fortunately, Xu Zhao only nodded at her.

"Did you have a stroke" Lu Yaoyao looked at her assistant's face.

The assistant had been smiling like an aunt all afternoon and evening, it was indeed a bit stiff. She only said as she opened the door:

“Get back to your room!” He personally opened the door for her.

Lu Yaoyao saw her like this, and knew that it must be Sister Hao and her assistant who had given her another surprise. But today wasn't her birthday, nor was there any day worth celebrating, so what surprise could it be

"Aren't you coming in" she glanced at her assistant standing ramrod straight by the door.

The assistant's head shook like a rattle, "Not going, not going."

Lu Yaoyao had no choice but to enter the room herself. Her assistant hurried to close the door behind her.

Although the hotel's sound insulation was quite good, it couldn't withstand Lu YaoYao's surprising scream. The assistant outside could hear it clearly, but the scream abruptly cut off as if something had blocked it.

Everything was understood without words. The assistant could finally laugh freely and went home from work with a happy heart.

In the room, after a long while, Gu Ruandong finally let her go. His body was the most truthful; he hadn't even had time to say a word before he got tangled up with her. Because there was no need to ask him why he came.

"Why didn't you say so earlier I could have tried to leave work early and not gone out for dinner." Because of his sudden arrival, the mood that Xu Zhao had affected all day was completely forgotten, and he couldn't even remember this person.

Don't let it affect you.

He arrived in the evening, she was filming at the time, her assistant brought him in.

"Are you hungry I'll have my assistant go get you something." Lu YaoYao asked thoughtfully.

Upon finishing her question, Gu Ruandong lowered his gaze to meet hers, his eyes seeming to blaze with fire.

"Well, I'm hungry."

He actually treated her as food, making her feel like she was nothing but bones.

Although the driver came to pick Gu Ruandong back to the city early the next day, Lu Yaoyao had a great mood all day. It was the best day she had since returning to the set, so when she saw Xu Zhao at breakfast in the restaurant, she inexplicably found her more pleasing.

Gu Ruandong went back to Beijing specifically to see her from Senzhou, and also took the opportunity to handle some company matters.

The development project of the village commercial complex, the first phase has officially started. According to his cooperation model with Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang takes the land and Gu Shi is responsible for the later stages. According to Gu Shi's strength at the time, the development of this commercial complex was completely fine, but it had just suffered a heavy blow and was in the recovery period, so the funds were very short. After investing in the first phase, there was no plan for funding for the second phase, so recently he has been running around for funding.

Gu Ruandong isn't short of money. Over the years, he has accumulated a wide network of contacts. As long as he opens his mouth, someone will naturally bring him the money. However, Gu Ruandong is now willing to be friends with his past contacts, but he will never do business with them again. Otherwise, what was the point of him painstakingly cleaning himself up

While scrambling for funds, Tan Rundong remained a threat. Especially after that night's banquet where Gu Ruandong publicly embarrassed him, he resorted to his old tricks and started spreading rumors that the Gu Corporation currently couldn't afford to continue developing this commercial complex and it was very likely to end up as a dud, urging everyone to invest with caution.

Gu Ruandong is not the kind of person who would allow others to run wild over him.

Tan Run-de's real estate company currently has two projects underway. One is a building that has already been launched and is on sale.

< There's one that has already been approved, but it hasn't received its five permits yet, and is currently in the process of being reviewed. This project focuses on high-end clientele and is Tan Run De’s most important project this year. >

Knowing the weak points is crucial, and Gu Ruandong, who grew up fighting, understood this perfectly.Ruan Ruan called the Gu family. Because Yao Yao was born several weeks earlier than her due date, none of the family members had time to rush over. It was a good thing they didn't come, because the sc...
