hang up the phone.

Yu Le walked under the fan.

Liu Qianqian continued to eat voraciously, her cheeks stuffed full.

Yu Le kicked the small stool she was sitting on.

"Stop eating, get ready to collect your prize."

Liu Qianqian looked up and asked, her voice muffled, "What award? Did the production team give out a model worker award? Is it a bonus?"

Yu Le said irritably.

"Golden Horse Award Best Actress nomination. 'Soulmate.' You and Shu Chang, both nominated."

"Smack."

Liu Qianqian swallowed the food in her mouth abruptly, her eyes wide open.

"Dad! Are you serious?! I've been nominated for Best Actress?!"

Yu Le said.

"It's just a nomination, whether you win or not is another matter." Yu Le said calmly, "It just so happens that filming in Zhangjiajie has wrapped up, and Cameron is going to New Zealand to film interior scenes. I'll give you a week off, go take a shower and get those green spots off your face."

Two days later. VIP lounge at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Shu Chang was excitedly pacing around the lounge when she saw Yu Le and Liu Qianqian come in. She immediately flew over like a little butterfly.

"Boss! Sisi! You've finally arrived!"

Liu Qianqian opened her arms wide and gave Shu Chang a big hug.

"Sing! Let's walk the red carpet together!"

"I was so excited I couldn't sleep all night!" Shu Chang jumped up and down, hugging Liu Qianqian, her face flushed with excitement. "That's the Golden Horse Award! Do you think we might win both Best Actress awards?"

The two girls chattered excitedly nonstop.

Yang Nuo walked over in high heels and handed Yu Le an itinerary.

"Boss, the media in Taiwan have gone crazy. As soon as we reported our flight information, hundreds of reporters had already gathered outside Taoyuan Airport."

Yu Le took the itinerary, glanced at it, and gave a faint "hmm".

"Is security arranged?"

"The highest level of security has been arranged. The organizers have directly deployed local police to maintain order." Yang Nuo adjusted her glasses. "After all, Qianqian's status is different now."

It's definitely different now.

The Devil Wears Prada has grossed nearly 300 million yuan at the Chinese box office. Its global box office is also approaching 300 million US dollars.

In addition, he holds the title of Chanel's brand ambassador for the entire Asian market.

Liu Qianqian is now a veritable international superstar. Few of the arrogant stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan can compare to her.

The plane landed at Taipei Taoyuan Airport.

As soon as I stepped out of the VIP passage, I was immediately overwhelmed by deafening screams and the sound of camera shutters clicking.

"Crystal!!!"

"Fairy Sister, look this way!!!"

Taiwanese reporters, armed with cameras and microphones, practically shoved their lenses into Yu Le's face.

"Ms. Liu Yifei! As a Hollywood actress who has won over $100 million at the box office, what are your thoughts on returning to China to attend the Golden Horse Awards?"

"Ms. Shu Chang! Are you nervous about your first Best Actress nomination?"

...

Yu Le walked at the front, wearing sunglasses and with one hand in his pocket. Security personnel struggled to clear a path for him.

Liu Qianqian was only wearing a Chanel early autumn casual outfit today, but the international flair she had honed on the Hollywood set was completely undeniable.

She simply smiled and waved at the camera without saying a word, yet she attracted all the flashes.

Shu Chang held her arm tightly, not nervous at all, but excitedly whispering, "Wow! Qianqian, look! This is too much!"

Liu Qianqian patted the back of her hand, forcibly putting on a nonchalant demeanor in front of her best friend.

"Stay calm, it's a minor incident."

That evening. Grand Hotel, Taipei. Golden Horse Awards official welcome reception.

This place brings together the top filmmakers from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.

In previous years, mainland actors were basically relegated to the background at such events, only able to watch from the corners as Hong Kong and Taiwanese directors and producers chatted and laughed together.

But tonight, the balance of power has shifted.

Yu Le, along with Liu Qianqian, Shu Chang, and Yang Nuo, had just stepped into the banquet hall.

The once noisy hall fell silent for a brief moment.

Immediately afterwards, the crowd parted to make way, just as Moses parted the sea.

The chairman of the Golden Horse Awards organizing committee, holding a wine glass, jogged up to greet him.

"Mr. Yu! Your presence is an honor to our humble abode!" the chairman said with a warm smile.

Yu Le picked up a glass of soda from a passing waiter's tray and clinked glasses with him.

"You're too kind, Chairman. You brought the children here to broaden their horizons."

"You're too modest! Qianqian's achievements are the pride of our entire Chinese-language film industry!" The chairman turned to look at Liu Qianqian, his tone incredibly flattering.

Before he finished speaking, several big-name directors and producers from Taiwan immediately surrounded him.

"Mr. Yu, it's an honor to meet you! I'm Chai Zhiping, the director of 'Meteor Garden.' Ms. Xixi is getting more and more beautiful."

"Hello Mr. Yu, I am Niu Chengze. I have been wanting to pay you a visit..."

Yu Le responded half-heartedly.

He held the glass of soda in his hand, but didn't even take a sip.

Not far away, several popular Taiwanese actresses held wine glasses and looked on with envy.

"What's so great about it? It's just that she made a Hollywood movie." A female star who is famous for acting in idol dramas muttered to herself.

The agent next to her was so frightened that he covered her mouth.

"Are you crazy! If you want to die, don't drag the company down with you!"

The agent pulled the reluctant actress aside and whispered.

"Come on, go over and offer them a toast! Keep a humble attitude! If you can get in touch with Salty Fish Entertainment, you'll be set for life!"

The actress eventually gritted her teeth and went over, obediently queuing up to toast Yu Le.

Shu Chang, with her sharp eyes, nudged Liu Qianqian's arm and whispered gossip.

"Sisi, look at her! She was rolling her eyes just a moment ago, but now she's obediently lining up to toast the boss!"

Liu Qianqian took a sip of juice, her eyes carrying a hint of the composure of someone who had been through it all. She leaned close to her ear and whispered a "truth" that Yu Le had taught her.

"That's what my dad taught me. When you stand high enough, you'll be surrounded by good people."
