There was nothing wrong with Chu Heyan’s physical examination results, except that he was a little lacking in vitamin D. The doctor suggested that he get more sun exposure.

On the contrary, Chu Lingyu, who looked stronger than him, had several indicators that were out of the normal range.

“It’s mild malnutrition caused by long-term unbalanced diet.”

The housekeeper reported to Lin Qingluo and Chu Yecheng during dinner.

“Malnutrition?” Chu Yecheng was a little surprised. He picked up a piece of fish for Chu Lingyu with chopsticks, and then said: “Lingyu, you can’t be picky about food, you know? A combination of meat and vegetables is healthy. I see that you don’t eat much meat usually, this is not okay.”

Chu Huaijin’s face was a little hard to describe: “Dad, Lingyu’s situation is different from Yanyan’s when he was a child. It’s not caused by picky eating.”

“What’s going on?” Chu Yecheng looked at his eldest son in confusion and asked.

Lin Qingluo kicked him hard under the table: “You are so stupid! If you can’t speak, don’t speak!”

After scolding her husband for “Why don’t you eat meat porridge”, she hurried to explain to Chu Lingyu: “Lingyu, don’t pay attention to your father. He has lived a life of luxury since he was a child and doesn’t know anything. I have asked the housekeeper to give your physical examination report to the nutritionist. Starting tomorrow, the nutritionist will prepare a menu for you based on your physical condition. It doesn’t matter if you are not used to eating meat for the time being. We will take it slowly.”

When recognizing relatives a few days ago, in addition to checking DNA for paternity testing, a physical examination was also arranged for Chu Lingyu, but the special case that was checked was not detailed enough, so no problems were found.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingluo blamed herself again.

They have been busy taking over the family business these days, and they have been busy every day, but they have neglected the children.

Chu Lingyu had already finished the piece of fish that Chu Yecheng had picked up for him. He looked up and said, “It’s okay, Mom. I don’t like meat very much. Dad is right. I will balance it out in the future.”

Chu Yecheng still didn’t quite understand the situation. He didn’t dare to ask his angry wife, and he was afraid of being laughed at by his eldest son. He had to wait until dinner was over and secretly called his youngest son over to ask, “Yanyan, do you know what’s wrong with Lingyu?”

Chu Heyan sighed, “He’s not picky about food, it’s because he didn’t have the conditions to eat meat before. People who never eat meat will have physical and psychological aversion to meat and fish, and they have to adapt slowly.”

Chu Yecheng couldn’t imagine that in this era, there are still people who raise children and can’t afford meat.

He thought that even in the poorest rural areas, at least basic nutritional needs can be met in terms of food.

Chu Yecheng felt a little guilty and went to apologize to Chu Lingyu again.

Chu Lingyu said that he was not angry, but Chu Yecheng still felt very uncomfortable and went to continue reflecting with his wife.

Before going to bed at night, Chu Heyan lay on the bed, staring at Chu Lingyu who had just taken a shower and observing him carefully.

He had wheat-colored skin and looked like he often got sunbathed, giving people a very healthy feeling.

His muscles were more developed than his, his physique was stronger than his, and he was taller than him.

But he was slightly shorter than his eldest brother by two or three centimeters.

However, Chu Lingyu had just reached adulthood, so it was not impossible for him to continue to grow taller in the future. Without looking at the physical examination report, it was indeed difficult to detect his unbalanced nutrition.

It turned out that such beautiful muscles could be grown by eating only plant protein?

He was a student, not a sports student. Could these muscles be developed through physical labor?

Chu Heyan thought a lot, but still couldn’t imagine what kind of life Chu Lingyu had lived before.

That was a world he had never been exposed to.

During this period of time, Chu Lingyu never took the initiative to mention it.

[System, do you know?]

The system, which rarely spoke to the host, was a little excited: “What does the host want to know?”

[The protagonist’s past.]

This time the system didn’t keep the secret: “The setting in the script is that after the two of you were switched, he was sold by human traffickers to a middle-aged couple who couldn’t have children, who were his adoptive parents. But not long after the couple bought him home, the woman found out she was pregnant. They wanted to sell the protagonist again, and they met a fortune teller on the way. The fortune teller told them that they were destined to be childless, but the child they bought was destined to have siblings, so they finally kept the protagonist.”

Chu Heyan: [Then what? They gave birth to a son?]

System: “Yes, after the biological son was born, the couple sent the protagonist to their rural hometown in the mountains. That place is very poor and relies on the border, many people make a living by trafficking drugs, and some fugitives who are being hunted directly cross the border and run to neighboring countries to continue trafficking and manufacturing drugs there. The reason why Chu Lingyu can grow up smoothly is that he has the aura of a protagonist, which may not be the case for others. “

Chu Heyan: [Then when did he return to his adoptive parents?]

System: “When he was in junior high school, his grandfather who lived with him passed away, and his adoptive parents remembered that there was still an adopted son in the countryside.”

Chu Heyan thought: [Junior high school, a boy of this age can almost be a labor force.]

System: “Maybe, I don’t know the details, you can ask the real young master if you want to know.”

Chu Heyan didn’t ask, he didn’t want to make trouble.

If it were him, he would not be willing to talk about his past experiences with others, not to mention that the other party was the culprit who robbed him of his identity as a rich young master.

Perhaps because of this, Chu Heyan didn’t sleep well at night and couldn’t get up in the morning.

The Chu family was accustomed to this, and no one forced him to wake up.

Chu Lingyu followed Chu Huaijin to the company alone, and it was a rare quiet day.

But it was too quiet, and without Chu Heyan hanging around in front of him, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

So the next morning, Chu Heyan was harassed and woken up by Chu Lingyu before he had enough sleep.

He would be grumpy when he got up if he didn’t get enough sleep. He rolled up the quilt and asked irritably, “What are you doing?”

Chu Lingyu pulled the quilt over, “Get up and go to the company with me.”

Chu Heyan buried his face in the pillow, “I’m not going! If you want to go, go by yourself, don’t bother me!”

Chu Lingyu touched his hair, leaned close to his ear and said, “Brother is going to sign an endorsement contract with a popular star today, don’t you really want to go and see?”

Popular star? Wouldn’t there be a lot of gossip to eat?

Chu Heyan immediately got up and asked, “Which star?”

Chu Lingyu: “It is said to be a top-tier actor named Zhu Wenbin.”

Chu Heyan became interested when he heard it, and his grumpy mood disappeared instantly. He quickly got out of bed to wash up.

Chu Huaijin saw him at the dinner table and asked curiously, “Why did you get up so early today?”

Chu Heyan suppressed his excitement of eating melons on the spot and said in a high-sounding manner, “Early to bed and early to rise makes you energetic. You have been so busy recently. I can’t be idle at home alone, right? I’ll go and help my eldest brother solve his problems.”

Chu Yecheng also found it very strange: “Is the sun rising from the west today?”

Chu Lingyu explained, “I woke him up.”

Even Lin Qingluo was shocked: “Lingyu, you woke Yanyan up? Didn’t you two fight?”

Chu Lingyu glanced at Chu Heyan who was studying the breakfast on the plate with his head down, and smiled and said, “No, he’s not angry.”

Chu Heyan glared at him. If it wasn’t for eating melons, how could he let Chu Lingyu go so easily.

The family finished breakfast lively, and the three brothers got on the same car.

Chu Huaijin looked back at Chu Heyan in the back seat: “Tell me, why are you so enthusiastic about going to work today?”

Chu Heyan deliberately kept it a secret: “Big brother will know when the time comes.”

Chu Huaijin smiled and didn’t ask any more questions, but he was still very curious.

After arriving at the company, when the assistant confirmed today’s schedule with him, Chu Huaijin saw Zhu Wenbin’s name and interrupted the assistant to ask: “Are you going to discuss the endorsement contract with this star at noon today?”

The assistant replied: “Yes, Mr. Chu, Zhu Wenbin’s agent has been in contact with our company for a long time, and all the conditions have been almost agreed. If you think there is no problem, you can sign the contract today.”

Chu Huaijin nodded, wondering in his heart, is his brother here for this?

I haven’t seen Chu Heyan interested in chasing stars before.

No, Chu Heyan must know something!

That guy is probably here to watch the fun.

“Are there any backup spokespersons?” Chu Huaijin asked.

The assistant responded quickly: “Yes, but the artists who are candidates are not as popular as Zhu Wenbin. Our new products have been developed for several years, and the quality and cost performance are very advantageous. The marketing department unanimously believes that we need a spokesperson who is famous enough to open up the market.”

Chu Huaijin did not explain much, and directly ordered: “Prepare the information of the candidates and give it to me after the meeting.”

The assistant did not ask any more questions, and responded and arranged for someone to prepare.

At the time agreed with Zhu Wenbin’s agent, Chu Huaijin took his two younger brothers to the guest lounge.

As a result, they waited for more than ten minutes but still did not see anyone.

If it were usual, Chu Huaijin would not waste time on such things. Being late would be equivalent to breaking the contract, no matter what the reason.

But today is different. He wants to see what Chu Heyan is going to do.

So he asked his assistant to contact Zhu Wenbin’s agent and call to urge him.

The agent said that they met fans who came to pick them up at the airport and could not get away for a while. There was a traffic jam on the road, so they did not arrive on time.

Chu Huaijin drank tea and waited for another ten minutes. The fully armed top star finally arrived.

He wore a hat, a mask and sunglasses, covering his entire face tightly. He didn’t look like he was here to sign a contract.

His agent reminded him to take off the equipment, but he didn’t listen. He stood at the door with his arms folded and observed for a while, as if he was afraid that there was a hidden camera in the lounge.

The agent really couldn’t do anything about him, so he quickly lowered his posture to greet Chu Huaijin and apologized to Chu Huaijin for being late again.

After a few polite words, the agent introduced: “Mr. Chu, this is the most popular artist in our company and the most popular male star in the country, named Zhu Wenbin. Wenbin, say hello to Mr. Chu.”

Zhu Wenbin finally took off his sunglasses, but still didn’t take off his mask and hat.

At the urging of his agent, he casually stepped forward and greeted Chu Huaijin: “Hello, Mr. Chu.”

This attitude was really not polite. The agent hurriedly said: “Young people are ignorant, please forgive me, Mr. Chu. By the way, who are these two?”

He looked at the two unfamiliar faces beside Chu Huaijin. They should be no more than 20 years old. One is handsome and the other is beautiful. Their appearance and temperament are better than the top star he brought.

Which newcomer is this, who hasn’t debuted yet?

Wouldn’t he be overestimating his ability to grab this endorsement?

The agent felt a little contemptuous. What’s the use of having good appearance conditions? Now is the era of traffic, and commercial value is not just about appearance.

At the same time, he was a little alert in his heart, ready to go back and ask people about it, to prevent the two newcomers from really relying on their looks to make a way out and affect his cash cow.

Chu Huaijin noticed the change in his expression, and in order to let his two younger brothers enjoy the show, he did not directly drive them out, but perfunctorily introduced them: “This is the new intern.”

The agent smiled and said: “Mr. Chu, since all the conditions have been negotiated before, and Wenbin has come here in person today, there are no other problems. Let’s sign the contract first, and please ask irrelevant people to step aside.”

Chu Huaijin sat there unmoved, picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea.

The agent had a bad feeling and asked again: “Mr. Chu? Are we going to sign the contract now? Our artist has other announcements this afternoon, so time is a bit tight.”

Chu Huaijin glanced at Zhu Wenbin, “I think Mr. Zhu doesn’t seem to be willing to cooperate with our company, what do you think?”

The agent laughed and said, “What are you talking about, Mr. Chu? Wenbin has specially cleared his schedule to come here, can’t that show our sincerity in cooperation? It’s really an accident that he was late today. I didn’t expect so many fans to come to the airport, but this just shows that Wenbin’s popularity has reached a new level. What do you think, Mr. Chu?”

“Really?”

Chu Huaijin put the cup in his hand back on the coffee table, crossed his legs leisurely, folded his hands on his thighs, and said with a smile: “So, you are not satisfied with the endorsement fee?”

When the agent heard this, he couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, what exactly does Mr. Chu mean?

Can the endorsement fee be raised again?

Zhu Wenbin didn’t think too much, and sat directly opposite Chu Huaijin, and said straight to the point: “Just add five points to the endorsement fee.”

Chu Huaijin: “Do you think you are worth this price?”

Zhu Wenbin was obviously full of confidence in his commercial value: “Of course, you can’t find a better choice besides me.”

[Last night, that fan was too enthusiastic, and I almost missed my flight this morning. Fuck! I seem to have forgotten to wear a condom the last time. Is she deliberately trying to get pregnant and then threaten me? How can I take care of so many children? ]

[Are you going to sign this endorsement? I heard that this company does not use yin-yang contracts to avoid taxes^[1]“Yin-yang contracts” in the context of tax evasion refer to a practice where parties to a transaction create two separate contracts: one public document with a lower price [the … Continue reading. It’s really stupid. I feel so sad to pay so much tax. What’s wrong with asking them for five more points? ]

The reception room became strangely quiet, and Zhu Wenbin felt a little strange.

He glanced at Chu Heyan standing behind Chu Huaijin, and thought: [I don’t know where this newcomer is from, but he looks quite attractive. I can get him to play with me later.] Chu

Huaijin was originally thinking that since his younger brother wanted to watch the fun, he would tolerate this idiot for a while longer.

But after hearing this, he could no longer bear it and said, “Mr. Liu, your artist slept with fans and had an illegitimate child, evaded taxes, and now dares to covet my younger brother? I think it’s time for someone else to be the top star.”
