âIâm sure. Because I already have somewhere I want to go,â Wu Jiaheng said.
Xiao Xi understood. He wanted to be in Nirvana Entertainment.
She smiled. âI welcome you, but I donât know what President Suâs thoughts are.â
âIâm worried that she wonât agree to my request,â Wu Jiaheng said. âI want to spend more time with the child and half my workload. It doesnât matter if my share of profits is lower.â
Xiao Xi couldnât make the decision. She just prayed that Su Bei would agree to his request.
Wu Jiaheng went to Su Beiâs office.
âHowâs Lilâ Huaâs condition now?â Su Bei asked.
âXiao Xi is helping me take care of her now. Iâve already informed my mother to come and help me take care of Lilâ Hua,â Wu Jiaheng said. âPresident Su, I want to sign a contract with Nirvana Entertainment, but I want to reduce my workload. I wonder if you can make an exception for me?â
Su Bei had long thought of signing him after this matter was resolved.
Wu Jiaheng was an actor. He did not have as many fans as other popular actors, but he had always been steady and was compatible with Nirvana Entertainment.
âSure. Go look for Yue Ze and ask him to assign you an agent. Act well in the future. Nirvana Entertainment will arrange jobs for you according to your personal characteristics. We wonât casually build you a persona,â Su Bei said with a smile.
âA smaller share is fine too,â Wu Jiaheng quickly said.
Su Bei laughed. âOf course, weâll do it according to the rules of the industry. Youâre my friend. While I wonât give you many advantages, I wonât take advantage of you either.â
Since she was so magnanimous, it was not appropriate for Wu Jiaheng to insist.
Yue Ze liked to work with steady people and immediately welcomed him.
âSince youâre planning to reduce your workload, why donât you go with Xiao Xi first? Sheâs just become a full-time employee and doesnât have any artistes on hand yet,â Yue Ze said.
Wu Jiaheng was already familiar with Xiao Xi. He nodded and said, âVery well.â
Xiao Xi had no objections.
After signing the contract, Wu Jiaheng said, âMiss Xiao Xiâ¦â
âMr. Wu, you can just call me by my name. The people here at Nirvana Entertainment are not so polite.â After saying that, Xiao Xi realized that she had not changed her address and could not help but laugh.
Wu Jiaheng smiled. âLilâ Hua says that she wishes to have you over for dinner tonight.â
Actually, Lilâ Hua was afraid of strangers and didnât say much. Obviously, these words werenât said by Lilâ Hua.
Wu Jiaheng was indeed very grateful for her help during this period of time, so he wanted to thank her.
Xiao Xi knew what was going on and nodded. âOkay.â
Wu Jiaheng had already invited Mrs. Wu over.
Mrs. Wu was a very loving and kind old lady. She had heard from Wu Jiaheng that Xiao Xi had helped a lot, so she made a large table of dishes and warmly welcomed her in.
She was not arrogant despite her son being a big star. She did not act all high and mighty because of it. Instead, she was more amiable than ordinary people.
Xiao Xi was not so nervous anymore.
After dinner, she played with Lilâ Hua for a while before leaving.
Mrs. Wu nudged her son. âGo send Xiao Xi off.â
âItâs alright. Jiaheng, you should stay and take care of Lilâ Hua. Iâm fine leaving by myself.â
Wu Jiaheng could only stop.
Mrs. Wu said regretfully, âWhy are you so ignorant? I think sheâs a good woman. Donât miss out on her.â
âMom, I just got divorced. I havenât thought about these things yet.â
Moreover, he had Lilâ Hua with him after his divorce. How could he burden Xi Xi?
Mrs. Wu said, âYour previous marriage only exists in name. If it werenât for Lilâ Hua, how long do you think it would have lasted? Son, you should consider it carefully. Donât make the same mistake in the future.â
Wu Jiaheng said, âDonât say anymore, Mom. I understand.â
As Wu Jiaheng had already cleared his name, there was no need to talk about his reputation anymore. In addition, his acting skills were not bad and he was willing to work hard, so Xiao Xi quickly got him a role on a TV show.
The filming time for the TV show was four months, but most of the time, they would be filming in the cityâs film studio. At night, he could go home to take care of Lilâ Hua.
Other times, when he had to go overseas, Mrs. Wu could help take care of the child.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The remuneration was also very appropriate.
Wu Jiaheng naturally agreed immediately. He had gained a new shot at life, and it filled him with hope.
Now, what he wanted to do the most was to earn a sum of money and pay off his debt to Xiao Xi. Then, he could spend more time with Lilâ Hua.
After signing the contract, Xiao Xi handed him a card.
âWhatâs this?â Wu Jiaheng asked.
âItâs an advance payment from the film company.â
Wu Jiaheng frowned slightly. They had just signed the contract, yet the film company had already given him an advance payment. This had never happened before.
Xiao Xi must have helped him get it.
He didnât ask further and only said, âThen thank the producer for me. Also, Iâll return your money first.â
With this advance payment, his urgent needs were indeed resolved.
And Xiao Xiâs concern had made him feel real warmth.
âBy the way, I want to give President Su something. Can you help me choose a gift for him?â Wu Jiaheng said. His mother was right. Why would he give up a future opportunity just because he had been divorced?
âWhat do you want to give President Su?â
âSomething for a child whoâs about five years old? Iâm not too sure. Itâs a boy.â
Xiao Xi said in surprise, âPresident Su is married and has a child? But he looks so young.â
âIâm not sure if itâs his child.â When Wu Jiaheng carried Gun Gun downstairs, he did not pay much attention to what was going on then because he was ready to die. Now that he thought about it, he did not have any clear memories of what happened that day.
He felt that life was precious now.
He smiled and said, âBut even if itâs not his own child, itâs probably a friend or relative of his. He definitely wonât accept anything I give him. But since itâs a token of my sincerity, he wonât reject it.â
âThen Iâll go shopping with you,â Xiao Xi said.
The two of them went to the mall together. Although they had disguised themselves, a sales assistant still recognized them.
âWu Jiaheng, is it really you?â
âShh.â Xiao Xi made a shushing gesture. âIâm his manager. Iâm here to accompany him to buy something. Please donât make a fuss.â
âAlright, I know.â The sales assistant quickly nodded. âI just want to ask if Lilâ Hua is okay.â
âSheâs doing very well now. Thank you.â Wu Jiaheng thanked her sincerely.
âThen take this toy as a gift from me to Lilâ Hua. Please accept it. I was one of the people who helped Li Hua chastise you back then. My words must have hurt you and Lilâ Hua.â The sales assistant was very serious when speaking.
