Film and Television: Gaining a Charismatic Aura at the Start

Anyway, he didn't want so many more magazines under his bed.

Who knew that when I went next door, I would be met with so many angry people.

"But there's nothing I can do. Every time I try to unsubscribe from the hotline, I'm inexplicably redirected to the subscription line."

"And the person who answered the phone was a Martian, and I couldn't understand a word he said."

"Then go cancel your subscription offline!"

Since it's a magazine publishing house, it must have physical stores.

You can just go to the physical store to cancel your order.

Lin Wanyu's suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone.

But Zeng Xiaoxian's face immediately fell.

"As you all know, I'm the kind of person who doesn't know how to refuse."

"Plus, the receptionist spoke so sweetly."

“Every time I wanted to cancel my subscription, she would ask me, ‘Are you sure you want to leave the top fashion circle, leave the high-end field, and degenerate into an ordinary person who doesn’t understand fashion?’”

"How would you answer?"

Chapter 160: Heart-to-Heart Talk

"Just say you don't want it anymore."

"What's so bad about it!"

Bai Tianyu really couldn't understand Zeng Xiaoxian's thought process.

It's just a lousy magazine; how can it prove whether someone is fashionable?

Crazy.

If fashion represents wealth, there's actually some truth to that.

Because fashion is something created by people who have nothing better to do.

If people weren't bored and had nothing to do, who would pursue fashion?

In Bai Tianyu's opinion, Zeng Xiaoxian was just wasting his time, spending hundreds of yuan every few months to buy this crappy magazine.

Instead of spending that money on themselves, they should use it to pamper themselves.

"But I..."

"I am a public figure, I would never say such a thing!"

"It's really hard for me to say, it's impossible for me to unsubscribe."

Zeng Xiaoxian looked troubled; it was clearly a difficult situation for him.

Lin Wanyu realized that Zeng Xiaoxian genuinely thought the magazine was bad, but he was just easily swayed by rumors and a fence-sitter.

The receptionist said a few nice things, like he was a top fashion influencer or ranked 2,000th, and he started to waver.

Just like the Laura incident last time.

However, she really couldn't handle Laura's situation that time, but she could help with this one.

Considering that Zeng Xiaoxian usually takes good care of her, she agreed to help him out.

"Okay then, Teacher Zeng, I'll go with you to cancel the subscription tomorrow, and I'll explain."

"You can just stand over there."

Zeng Xiaoxian's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

"That's great, I'll leave it to you tomorrow."

"Whatever you say is what it is."

Just then, Hu Yifei curiously put down the magazine in her hand and pointed to the announcement on it.

"You bastard Zeng, why don't you keep pinging?"

"It says here that next week is the tenth anniversary of the magazine 'Pretend Man' and a special supplement will be released, and it will be distributed daily."

"Only forty-nine yuan a copy!"

After Hu Yifei finished reading, she looked sarcastic.

"Zeng Xiaoxian, are you sure you want to stay in the top fashion circle?"

"Nani!!!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian completely broke down.

I picked up the magazine and looked at it again, unsure of what to do, and was immediately horrified.

I have strengthened my resolve.

"I want a refund!"

"I absolutely have to return it!"

This is insane! Weekly magazines are already outrageous enough.

Now let's have a daily magazine, 30 days a month, 49 yuan a copy.

This is outrageous! Does that mean he'll have to spend over 1,500 yuan every month to buy magazines?

That's about all the food he can afford for a month.

Not to mention that these magazines are completely useless; they only let him see rich people and models wearing gold and silver every day, but nothing else.

Zeng Xiaoxian had already had enough, how could he possibly stand it if it happened again?

"Do you still need my help?"

Lin Wanyu said with a smile, and Zeng Xiaoxian immediately stopped in his tracks.

He turned around with a fawning expression, revealing his signature lewd smile.

"Then Wanyu, why don't you come with me tomorrow?"

Hehehehe~~

Zeng Xiaoxian's problem is now resolved.

As long as Zeng Xiaoxian is more determined tomorrow, everything will be fine.

Afterwards, the group went next door and enjoyed a very good Moscow meal.

Bai Tianyu said it was really good.

After dinner, everyone went to the bar for a drink.

Only Lu Ziqiao and Alexandre Dumas remained.

These two have something to talk about.

"Ziqiao, it seems you've found your home."

"Then I won't bother you any longer."

Alexandre Dumas wasn't stupid; the way Lu Ziqiao behaved at this meal was something he hadn't seen in years.

Perhaps this is what Lu Ziqiao was like when he first learned the craft from him.

But as he traveled all over the country with him, Lü Ziqiao felt increasingly empty inside.

In the end, she chose to return to Shanghai and stop wandering with him.

Now that he sees the little guy he once was grown up and has his own home, he is quite satisfied.

"Dad, I know why you came to see me."

"But I really don't want to live that kind of life anymore, running around and hiding. I've already retired from the underworld."

"This is my home now. My loved ones and my best friends are here."

"Although we are not related by blood, we will always help each other when we are in trouble."

"This kind of life is really good, and I really don't want to continue to wander around."

Now that it's just the two of them, Lu Ziqiao doesn't try to hide anything anymore.

He spoke his mind directly, even revealing the name of the person he loved most.

Because Lu Ziqiao knew that Alexandre Dumas would definitely be able to see it.

His skill level was truly impossible to hide from the other party.

As for the martial arts world...

He no longer engages in swindling or deception; he relies solely on his own abilities to pick up women, which can be considered semi-retirement.

"Is that the little girl named Chen Meijia?"

"If you like someone, just say so! Why are you stringing her along like this?!"

Sure enough, Alexandre Dumas did figure out who Lu Ziqiao liked.

Even though Lu Ziqiao kept trying to cover it up, Alexandre Dumas, as his godfather who knew him best, saw it all clearly.

"What, are you afraid you can't give someone else happiness?"

"Then you should never appear in her life again. What's the point of this lingering connection?"

In their line of work, the biggest taboo is to maintain a lingering connection, otherwise it will give the other party the illusion that things can be salvaged.

Then you'll get entangled with them, which will hinder your next move.

"I, I did break up with her, several years ago."

"But who knew I'd run into her here again? Due to the special circumstances, I ended up moving into the Love Apartment with her."

(Good) "I guess fate is just playing tricks on me."

This isn't just something Lu Ziqiao made up; it's all because of Love Apartment.

In the vast sea of ​​people, with 30 million in Shanghai, the probability of them meeting is like finding a needle in a haystack.
