Mr. Zhou Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 29.2

Zhou Chenxi got into the car, lowered the car’s window and waved at him before the car drove away.

 

Lu Ji stared at the car’s license plate number. 

                                

It was an ordinary number plate and the bodyguard was driving in a low profile, nothing different compared to other ordinary cars. However, the interior was much more high-class than other ordinary cars. In terms of the overall package, this car was not cheap.

 

It was not the impression that Lu Ji had about “Zhou Chenxi’s family” to be able to afford.

 

Lu Ji was deep in thought, perhaps he could take the opportunity to visit Zhou Chenxi’s family some other day.

 

However, he still had to get Zhou Chenxi’s permission first.

        

Lu Ji watched Zhou Chenxi’s car turn the corner and leave, only then he turned his body and went into the house.

 

When he returned home, his brother asked Zhou Chenxi in all seriousness where he had been and Zhou Chenxi told him the truth.

 

When he returned home, his brother asked Zhou Chenxi in all seriousness where he had been and Zhou Chenxi told him the truth.

    

The bodyguard had already reported Zhou Chenxi’s whereabouts, so Zhou Mingxuan was just asking a routine question at this point.

 

“I remember you once told me,” Zhou Mingxuan had just finished work, while unbuttoning his shirt cuffs, he said, “Lu Ji, this person is very dangerous and you told me to stay away from him.”

    

Zhou Chenxi sweated (or could also mean ‘speechless out of helplessness’) : “Uh … it’s a long story …”  He thought about how he should explain it to Zhou Mingxuan. 

 

“Chenxi, I don’t know about outsiders but Ge ge won’t harm you,” Zhou Mingxuan said, “Since you think he’s dangerous, you should keep your distance from him.”

    

Zhou Chenxi was left speechless / unable to respond. 

 

“Just this once! (Not to be repeated!)” Zhou Mingxuan said.

 

He thought he was going to be nagged for a while but not expecting his brother to be unexpectedly nice, so Zhou Chenxi went over and gave him a hug.

 

When Zhou Chenxi ran upstairs in three or two steps, Zhou Mingxuan turned around and took a closer look at the information his secretary had sent him about Lu’s in his mailbox.

 

He hadn’t even taken a few days off, Zhou Chenxi was soon busy again, as filming of《The Journey Record to Immortality》began.

 

For the first few days of shooting, Zhou Chenxi has been squatting on the filming site. When he had free time, he sought advice from the director and his seniors.

Qin Chuan liked him a lot and Gong Rui’s impression about him was also pretty good. After working with him for a few days, he felt that he was very polite. Zhou Chenxi even ran into the ‘poisonous chicken soup’ make-up artist Jie Jie in the filming site. They had added each other’s WeChat last time. She also came to the set. 

 

This time, “Carp” is on the air. The show’s popularity was not affected by the deletion of Luo Xinghe’s scenes. Watermelon Channel was always good at post-production. They could make something that was boring look extremely interesting, moreover the show itself already had a lot of laughing points. 

 

In the first two episodes, everyone was in the Little Mist Village. Zhuang Jingle pronounced the word “carp” as “donkey”, which was already teased badly by the program team. Apart from this, Zhou Chenxi was the most discussed person.

 

For example, in the kitchen of the Little Mist Village Inn, everyone could see that Lu Zong had deliberately given the pink apron to Zhou Chenxi.

 

【Hahaha Lu Zong is so bad ah! But why do I think Xixi wearing a pink apron doesn’t look out of place at all??】

 

【He is uncomfortably wearing it and he kept tugging the apron around. Actually, he should have just asked the crew staff for another one!】

 

【He is too embarrassed to ask ba! What a honest guy jg!】

 

【But then again … don’t you guys think that Lu Zong and Zhou Chenxi are such a very good match?】

 

【You, the one above, you’ll lose your account. How dare you ‘yy’ our Lu Zong?

Lawyer letter warning!】

 

【Damn, I’m back from watching the third episode, Prince Lu and Cat Zhou are so cute together! I can’t wait to see the next episode!】

 

It was a well-known fact that Lu Group was very sensitive to some scandals about Lu Ji, and firmly resisted the small site traffic of people posting speculation about Mr. Lu.

 

As a president of a company involved in many entertainment industries, Lu Ji was indeed often mentioned by many people. You would especially remember the time when a little star /little celeb bought marketing accounts to hype his private relationship with Lu Ji before. He directly got a letter from Lu Ji’s lawyer. People heard that a lawsuit was filed later. The celeb lost a lot of money because of the lawsuit. 

 

They thought that Lu Group would find someone to control the comments and take down the post this time but as a result, they seemed … to have no reaction at all. 

 

Later on, there were fewer scandals about Lu Ji and everyone knew that Lu Ji was taboo.

 

Didn’t it come to the agreement that Lu Ji and Shao Yun Yi were supposedly the childhood sweetheart1[青梅竹马 /qīng méi zhú mǎ :lit. green plums and hobby-horse (idiom) / fig. innocent children’s games / childhood sweethearts / a couple who grew up as childhood friends]? 

 

How come Lu Ji keeps hanging out with Zhou Chenxi in the show instead?

 

Moreover, Zhou Chenxi’s ‘life depends on being immobile’ and ‘Zhou tie himself into cocoon’ memes were too funny!

 

For a moment, Zhou Chenxi’s related jpg (Tl notes: I thought it should be jpg instead of jg, correct me if I am wrong) was continuously posted by everyone, so happy that as if they had found a hidden treasure. 

 

Even on the filming site, someone greeted Zhou Chenxi and said, “Xiao Zhou, don’t you stay still (静止: immobile) for today?”

 

Zhou Chenxi had such a good temper that he laughed along with them and even sent a ‘Zhou bind himself into cocoon’ emoticon to his brother.

 

Ge ge on the other hand replied to him:

【What the heck, with all this nonsense? 

 

While quietly going online to search, when he caught sight of good screenshots from the show, he saved it; when he saw the memes, he would take a serious look at it several times to make sure they were just joking around (laughing point) and not mocking Zhou Chenxi, only then he was able to put his mind at ease.

 

His little brother had been held under the control of his hands since he was a child. Zhou Mingxuan himself couldn’t even bear to say a few harsh words. If he knew someone dared to make fun of his baby brother, he would probably be furious all day long.

 

His younger brother had finally made a lot of progress.2(出息 could also mean profit, good future prospects / mature /grow up) 

After logging into his “Zhou Chenxi Worldwide Supporting Group” account and surfing the internet for a while, he checked to make sure he didn’t need to “control the comment” as his secretary said, only then did Zhou Mingxuan log out of his account and went to do other things in ease.
