"Yes, among the female celebrities I know, quite a few hire people to reapply their perfume; it's not uncommon."

"Wow...what a waste."

“But at least this way no one will suspect her,” Lu Ming said.

"makes sense……"

Listening to Lu Ming's words, everyone nodded with deep feeling. They leaned close to the perfume bottle in Akagi's hand, gently sprayed out a little perfume, and sniffed it.

It's no wonder that this perfume is a one-of-a-kind, custom-made perfume for Lu Ming. The scent truly matches Lu Ming's personality; it's a fresh fragrance like a hundred flowers in bloom, light and elegant. However, it's a pity that even though the quality of the scent in the bottle is quite high, it's still an artificial product. Compared to the natural fragrance of Deep Sea Akagi, it was instantly outshone and fell short.

“This smell clashes a little with… cough cough, with Akagi’s smell,” Saratoga said, sniffing carefully.

"Leave it to me." Lu Ming stepped forward and gently took the perfume bottle.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lu Ming turned around, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured the strong perfume liquid into the trash can with a splash. Then, he squatted down by the makeup remover sink, carefully washed the bottle cap, filled the perfume bottle with a whole bottle of water, and then walked back.

"That should be fine." Lu Ming handed the perfume bottle filled with water back.

"Miss Luming...you poured it all out?" Everyone gasped.

"Mm." Lu Ming nodded.

"This perfume must be very expensive..."

"It's alright." Lu Ming smiled slightly at everyone, appearing quite open-minded.

Everyone looked at each other, and Akagi Fukami picked up the perfume bottle in her hand and gently pressed the button on it in the air.

With a hissing sound.

A fine mist was released from the perfume bottle, slowly dissipating into the air and disappearing.

Deep Sea Akagi held the perfume bottle in her hand and exchanged a glance with Lu Ming.

"That should work." Lu Ming smiled slightly at Shenhai Chicheng.

"Thank you, Miss Luming." Akagi Fukami gripped the perfume bottle tightly and bowed slightly to Luming in gratitude.

"In that case, the issue of Akagi's fragrance is explained." Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. She walked to the remaining, smaller work uniform and held it up. "Then I'll be wearing this one..."

"Little White, let me help you change!" Saratoga rushed over as soon as she heard that Little White needed to change clothes.

"It's just returning some clothes, I can change myself."

"But...but..." Saratoga pleaded pitifully.

"Saratoga, could you please keep my clothes safe for me?" Little White took off his coat, folded it neatly, and placed it in Saratoga's hands.

With Lu Ming watching nearby, Xiao Bai couldn't very well open his ship equipment space in front of Lu Ming, so Xiao Bai felt it would be better to just hand over the outer garment he had taken off to Saratoga for safekeeping.

"Ah—!" Saratoga's azure eyes widened in shock. She held the white coat high above her head as if it were a priceless treasure, her eyes filled with awe as if it were a blazing fire. "I! I will protect this coat with my life!"

"There's really no need for that, Saratoga. You can just put my coat in your ship equipment space."

"I can't bear to part with this coat!" Saratoga hugged Little White's coat tightly, looking very reluctant to leave.

"……"noob.

In the end, Xiaobai persuaded Saratoga to stuff his coat into his ship equipment space.

After everyone present changed into their disguise uniforms, they checked each other's outfits again, carefully concealing any possible giveaways.

Everything is ready.

All that's missing is the east wind.

Half an hour later, the filming of the advertisement began.

Xiao Bai and her group, acting as Lu Ming's staff, left Lu Ming's company and got into Lu Ming's car. Driven by the car, they drove all the way to the location where the advertisement was being filmed.

The outdoor scene of the advertisement was filmed at the venue in the center of Yuncheng City.

When Xiaobai and his group arrived at the filming location, the advertising company had already rented a plot of land in the center of the venue. The edge of the several hundred square meters of lawn was marked with yellow and red warning lines, and a team of security guards was maintaining order. Curious passersby surrounded the warning lines.

Passersby watched with curiosity as staff set up equipment in the center of the lawn, while people outside the area discussed the scene.

"Is that a movie being filmed up there?"

"Wow, really? They'd choose such a busy city center for a movie shoot?"

Is it really polite to seal off a property without even giving prior notice?

"From a rational point of view, it's somewhat disturbing to the public."

"really."

"I'd like to see which minor celebrity dares to come here and film a video..."

The crowd showed some dissatisfaction with the advertisers' sudden decision to mark off the area for filming. But soon, the sound of motorcycle engines filled the air, and in the crowd's view, a van pulled up in an open space not far away.

The van's doors were wide open.

A star with a pure temperament and a face as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water stepped out of the van, surrounded by a group of inconspicuous staff members.

The crowd erupted in cheers the moment they saw the celebrity stepping out of the van.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, it's Lu Ming!!!"

"Miss Lu Ming?? So she's here to film a video??? Where's my camera? Where's my camera?!"

"Miss Lu Ming, I love you so much!!!"

"Miss Lu Ming, when are you going to marry Admiral Lu Lin?! I've been shipping you two for a hundred years!"

"Deer cry! Deer cry! Deer cry—!!!"

"..."

The crowd, who had been somewhat critical just a moment ago, instantly transformed into die-hard fans upon seeing Lu Ming, and began shouting his name.

This is probably the special status of a current national goddess.

Under the protection of staff, Lu Ming walked inside the cordon and entered the photography studio.

Inside the studio, the shouts of fans from outside continued unabated.

Xiao Bai sighed, adjusted the brim of his baseball cap, and glanced ahead.

The setup inside the studio was the same as when Xiaobai went to watch Director Chen and Director Zhang make movies. One filming machine after another was placed in the center of the studio, and a man dressed like a director was holding a script and talking to Lu Ming's muscular agent.

When the director saw Lu Ming walk into the studio, he immediately stopped talking and hurried over with a big smile.

"Ms. Lu Ming! You've finally arrived! Hello, hello, hello! It's an honor to work with you!" The director greeted Lu Ming with a smile, pointing to a corner of the temporary studio as he spoke. "Ms. Lu Ming, you must be tired after traveling so far. Please rest over there for a bit. We've already set up a private rest room for you! We can start filming once we've finished setting up the scene here! I promise it won't take up too much of your time!"

The director treated Lu Ming like a revered ancestor, inviting him to a corner of the studio.

But halfway there, the director stopped, looking puzzled. He frowned and sniffed the air.

"Huh? Miss Luming, don't you think the air around us smells a little sweet?"

The director watched curiously, and then saw a staff member behind Lu Ming quietly step forward, take out an exquisite perfume bottle, and spray it into the air in front of Lu Ming.

As the staff member moved, the director could feel that the captivating fragrance around them had intensified.

"Oh, so it's Miss Luming's perfume. How rude of me." The director smiled apologetically.

Chapter 2428 The Person in the Mirror

For example, in the temporary film studio where everyone was, nearly half of the space had been given to Lu Ming by the advertisers to be used as a rest area.

After leading Xiaobai and his group, along with Lu Ming, to the door of the lounge, the director went back to continue working on his own.

Xiao Bai and his group followed Lu Ming into the lounge.

As you step through the door, the scene before you suddenly opens up, revealing an empty room the size of a classroom for a hundred people.

Xiao Bai lifted the brim of his hat, glanced around at the scene before him, and sighed inwardly.

As expected of a lounge that occupies half the area of ​​a photography studio, this space is much larger than any dressing room Xiaobai has ever seen. Not only can Luming rest comfortably by himself, but even if all the Deep Sea Deans from Xiaobai's family were brought over for a party, it probably wouldn't feel crowded at all.

Not only is this lounge large, but it is also fully equipped with all kinds of furniture and equipment. In addition to the essential dressing table and sink, the room is also equipped with a coffee machine, air conditioner, refrigerator, massage chair, hammock, router, mobile phone charging equipment... Keep in mind that this is a temporary outdoor studio. Xiaobai can't even imagine how much effort the advertiser put into this lounge.

"Is this the treatment of a top star...?" Xiao Bai couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the grand scene in the dressing room.

“No ordinary advertiser would go to this level,” Lu Ming said to Xiao Bai.

"Then why would they do that?"

"I don't know either," Lu Ming shook his head.

“Maybe one of them is a fan of Miss Luming,” Akagi chuckled as she listened to the conversation between Shiro and Luming.

“That makes a lot of sense.” Xiaobai looked at Chicheng in agreement.

No sooner had everyone entered the room than a familiar knocking sounded at the door of the room outside.

Lu Ming wanted to go forward and open the door, but the next second, Chi Cheng blocked her way, smiling as she pressed her down into the seat at the dressing table.

“Miss Luming, now that you have us as your assistants by your side, it’s easy to give yourself away if you don’t let us do these little things.” Akagi chuckled and patted Luming’s shoulder before walking to the door and opening it.

The door opens.

"Yahoo!"

"Little Deer! We're here!"

We're going to dress you up beautifully today!

Accompanied by an overly lively greeting, Lu Ming's makeup artists rushed in with smiles on their faces. Without saying a word, they surrounded Lu Ming on the makeup table, each holding up one of his clothes with one hand.

"Little Deer! Practice time is over. Now it's time to officially decide on your outfits for later!"

"Mmm." Lu Ming seemed to have gotten used to the makeup artists' enthusiasm. She nodded gently, letting the seven or eight women around her keep touching her body.

Not only Lu Ming's makeup artists entered from outside, but also Lu Ming's manager.

The muscular man in the suit stood at the door for a long time, and only after confirming that no one was watching did he enter Lu Ming's lounge and close the door behind him.

After the man in the suit entered, he first looked around at Xiaobai and his group's attire.

"Hmm, it seems the concealment is pretty good." The man in the suit lingered for a moment, looking at Xiaobai's rolled-up trouser legs and Shenhai Akagi, who was still covered in a strange fragrance. "Although it didn't achieve the perfect concealment I expected, it's not uncommon for the staff to be short and the staff to spray perfume. In fact, this imperfection actually highlights your harmlessness to some extent, so there shouldn't be any problems."

When the man in the suit bluntly remarked that Xiaobai wasn't tall, Xiaobai's brows twitched involuntarily.

"Mr. Agent, did you come all this way just to say this...?" Xiaobai looked at the man in the suit with a hint of resentment.

"Of course not." The man in the suit seemed unaware of Xiaobai's dissatisfaction. He quickly shook his head and said to Xiaobai and her group, "Miss Lu Lin, once Lu Ming's makeup is finished, the filming will officially begin. Lu Ming will go to the area near the camera in the center of the set to film."

"Should we follow them?" Xiaobai asked.

“That’s what I wanted to say,” the man in the suit said to Xiaobai. “Although luring the enemy out is the main objective of this operation, I still hope that we can prioritize Lu Ming’s personal safety. Before coming here, I’ve already made arrangements with the production team. They will only treat you as Lu Ming’s personal staff for now, and no one else will bother you. Admiral Lu Lin, you just need to stay close to Lu Ming and only move away a little when she’s filming.”

"...Mr. Agent, didn't you tell the director about our situation?"

"Since it's about luring the snake out of its hole, the fewer people who know, the better," the man in the suit replied confidently.

"I see, thank you." Xiaobai smiled.

The man in the suit breathed a sigh of relief. He raised the folder in his hand and said to Xiaobai, "Admiral Lu Lin, I still have things to do with the director's team, so I'll head over first."

"You're really busy. Then go ahead." Xiaobai nodded and waved to the man in the suit. "You can leave Miss Luming to me with peace of mind."

"I am extremely grateful." The man in the suit bowed to Xiaobai on the spot, then took a deep breath, opened the door of the lounge, and left.

"It seems like Ms. Luming's manager has been incredibly busy lately," Xiaobai said to the ship girl beside her.

"Hmm? Little sister Lu Lin, didn't you know? Because Lu Ming turned down too many jobs recently, his manager has been running around to various companies to appease the anger of those business partners who were stood up." A makeup artist from Lu Ming heard Xiao Bai's voice and came closer while mixing paint in her hands.

"Huh? Is that so?" Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, his agent went to your company yesterday morning to apologize."

“Uh… yesterday…” Xiaobai scratched his cheek.

Yesterday, Xiaobai completely dumped his work on Miaoyang and came to Luming's place to play. I guess Luming's manager went to Miaoyang's place to apologize yesterday.

If I had known this would happen, I would have asked Lu Ming's manager to chat with him more when I first met him yesterday. Maybe it would have saved Miss Miao some trouble.

I've inadvertently added to Ms. Miao's workload again; I'm a little embarrassed.

"Looks like being a manager isn't easy either," Xiaobai remarked to the makeup artist who had come closer.

"As long as the culprit is caught soon, everything will be alright!" the makeup artist added with a smile, carrying the mixed paint back to Lu Ming's side.

"That's true." Xiaobai looked at Luming, who was surrounded by makeup artists, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The makeup artists finished their work quickly.
