I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

A short while later, Huo Wenxi, who had just finished his call, came over and said, "Director Cheng, if you can really star in Director Chen Kaige's new movie, the company has no problem with that. Boss Yang also asked me to thank you for your help to Ah Sa."

“You’re welcome. I just feel that Ah Sa is a good fit for the female lead in the new movie,” Cheng Sheng said.

"I'll give Director Chen Kai a heads-up beforehand, so you can just go and audition when they're casting."

"Okay, thank you, Director Cheng."

"By the way, you can have Chef Xie try out for the male lead in the new film."

Just as Cheng Sheng was about to send the other party away, he suddenly remembered something and said to Huo Wenxi.

"Director Cheng, thank you so much."

Upon hearing that Chef Xie could audition for the male lead, Huo Wenxi immediately grabbed Cheng Sheng's hand and was so excited that she almost knelt down and kowtowed to him.

Seeing Huo Wenxi's grateful expression, Cheng Sheng's lips curled up slightly. It seemed that Huo Wenxi and Chef Xie's relationship was indeed not simple. He wondered if, as the other world had speculated, Huo Wenxi had a crush on Chef Xie.

In another world, there are rumors that Huo Wenxi and Chef Xie have a relationship that is better than that of a husband and wife, and more loyal than that of brothers.

This is not just talking.

From a rebellious 16-year-old "second-generation star" in 1996 to the future owner of the "Chef Nic" empire, every step Xie Chef Wang takes bears the shadow of Huo Wenxi.

She wasn't his mother, yet she held up half the sky behind Chef Xie; she wasn't his wife, yet she profoundly influenced the course of his destiny.

Huo Wenxi not only provided crucial support to Xie Chuwang's music and film careers, but also offered meticulous care throughout his life.

She understands Chef Xie's personality and needs very well, and is able to offer comfort when he is emotionally down and give rational advice when he makes important decisions.

Huo Wenxi knew Xie Chuwang's strengths and weaknesses well, and it was with this profound understanding that she helped Xie Chuwang overcome countless difficulties in his career.

Unlike Chef Xie's multiple romantic relationships, Huo Wenxi's companionship has been unconditional and seamless, unwavering for 29 years.

There was no romantic love story between them, but their feelings were precious, even surpassing romantic love.

The relationship between Chef Xie and Huo Wenxi is more of a profound partnership and a bond of mutual trust.

She is not only Chef Xie's agent, but also a "life mentor" who is always by his side.

Chef Xie has stated publicly on multiple occasions that Huo Wenxi is like his "family," and that she is the one who can see through the deepest part of his heart.

Huo Wenxi never gave up on him. Whether it was a low point in his career or a period of ups and downs in his life, she always silently supported him from behind.

Sometimes, what Chef Xie needs is not love, but a friend who understands him and can guide him.

Huo Wenxi was the one who had always been by his side.

Chef Xie's journey to success was not without its challenges.

From early fame to the confusion of adulthood, and then to conflicts with parents and lovers, Chef Xie's life is full of challenges.

Huo Wenxi was almost always there for him through all of this.

Especially after Chef Xie's divorce, he fell into a double slump in both his emotional and career, and many people began to question his future.

But it was precisely at this critical moment that Huo Wenxi remained his strongest support.

It can be said that the relationship between Huo Wenxi and Chef Xie has transcended love.

Sometimes, love doesn't necessarily need to be dramatic; it can be a long-lasting companionship, a sincere care, and a selfless support.

Huo Wenxi is the most important "benefactor" in Chef Xie's life. She is not only Chef Xie's agent, but also his most reliable friend and strongest support.

It is this profound affection that transcends love that makes Chef Xie's career more exciting and his life more fulfilling.

Cheng Sheng's suspicion that Huo Wenxi harbored a secret crush on Chef Xie was not without reason. Judging from Cheng Sheng's reaction whenever Chef Xie was mentioned, Huo Wenxi's feelings for Chef Xie were definitely not simple.

After seeing Huo Wenxi and the other two off, Cheng Sheng talked to Xing Aina about company matters and then returned to his office.

"Boss, I won't be coming after tomorrow. I need to focus on honing my acting skills and practicing martial arts."

"It's Jiangsu Ying who's helping Cheng Sheng tidy up his desk," she said.

"Okay, then practice hard."

Cheng Sheng nodded.

With "Nirvana in Fire" about to start filming, I understand that Jiangsu Film Studio, as the female lead, wants to do more preparation.

"Boss, the script for 'The Legend of Zhao Yun' is finished. Would you like to take a look?"

After finishing up, Jiangsu Film Studio held a script and said...

“Okay, leave it there. I’ll take a look when I have time. By the way, has the company contacted Jiao Enjun?” Cheng Sheng said after glancing at it.

“We contacted each other a few days ago,” Jiangsu Film said, putting the script aside.

"What did they say?" Cheng Sheng asked.

"When he heard that we wanted him to play the lead role, he was overjoyed. He came to our company the very next day and signed the contract," Jiangsu Film said with a smile.

Cheng Sheng could understand Jiao Enjun's reaction.

When Jiao Enjun divorced in 2005, he left with nothing, giving up hundreds of millions of assets in exchange for custody of his daughter.

For him, fame, fortune, and real estate are all things he can give up, but he cannot give up his children.

Because of the disparity in financial resources, his ex-wife ultimately agreed to give him custody of their two daughters, which at the time seemed to be a case of "losing money to save his wife."

Little did he know, there were even more surprises to come!

After the divorce, he had to start almost from scratch.

Without his previous savings, he could only continue to work hard filming, gradually accumulating income.

His two daughters were temporarily fostered at his brother's house. During the day, he worked on set, setting up lighting and wire work. At night, he would return to his residence, stare blankly at a bottle of liquor, and swallow all his bitterness.

During that time, he posted a very bleak message on social media, saying, "My relationship collapsed in an instant," and "I feel like a heartless person."

Between the lines, one can sense the loss and bewilderment of a middle-aged man facing the breakdown of his marriage.

Little did he know that while he was filming in mainland China, he suddenly received a call from his brother, whose voice was filled with anxiety: "Your ex-wife has taken the two children away!"

She even secretly took the child to get a medical examination, using this as a pretext to file a lawsuit. Her purpose was clear—to regain custody.

This time, no amount of money could help.

The comfort of leaving with nothing was shattered by reality.

He lost all his property and even his children; he finally understood what it meant to "lose both his wealth and his family."

This must be the most difficult time for Jiao Enjun. He is trying to numb himself by filming TV dramas.

This is clearly an attempt to escape.

Cheng Sheng didn't mind; as long as the other party focused on filming, he didn't want to interfere too much in his personal life. (End of Chapter)
