Reborn in the Chinese Entertainment Industry: My Childhood Sweetheart is Boss Yang

The Spring Festival in 2004 came a little earlier than usual.

Just after the Lantern Festival, the small office of Vision Capital held its first general meeting.

It was called a plenary meeting, but it was actually just five people.

Gu Heng, Chen Kai, Liu Jun, a trader, and an administrator.

Gu Heng sat in the main seat, looking calmly at the employees in front of him.

"Brother Chen, how's the construction of the oil and gas storage facility going?" Gu Heng asked, breaking the silence.

"Boss, as you instructed, on January 15th and 25th, we invested a total of 1 million in two batches, all of which was used to purchase PetroChina Jichai."

Chen Kai adjusted his glasses and handed over a concise report.

"These are the average purchase price and the number of shares held."

Gu Heng glanced at it and nodded.

"very good."

He looked at everyone and announced the main event of the day.

"I've invited everyone here today to announce the company's first and most important investment target for this year."

He stood up, walked to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and wrote two large characters.

"Bright Sword"

Liu Jun and the two new employees looked at each other, completely bewildered.

What is this? Is it the name of another stock?

Only Chen Kai's eyes flickered slightly.

"Boss, you mean... film and television investment?"

"That's right."

Gu Heng turned around.

"Hairun Pictures is preparing to film a TV series called 'Bright Sword'. The script and main cast have been finalized, but Hairun has started several big projects this year and doesn't have much money left."

He held up three fingers.

"I've set aside three million for this project. Two million will be a direct investment, and the other million will be used for the company's daily expenses and your salaries."

"Brother Chen, your task is to find a way to bypass Hairun's decision-making level, contact the producer of Bright Sword, and tell him that we, Vision Capital, have money."

Gu Heng's words made the two new employees' hearts pound.

A minor made a film and television investment of two million.

The young boss's boldness far exceeded their expectations.

"As for the remaining funds..."

Gu Heng paused, then turned his gaze back to Chen Kai.

"On February 5th, which is the day after tomorrow, I will use the remaining 2 yuan in the account, plus the money left after the previous position was established, to make it a round number, and buy all of it into PetroChina Jichai."

Chen Kai's mind was filled with doubt once again.

They're going all in on a mediocre energy stock and then investing a large sum of money in a TV series with an uncertain future.

This boss's investment logic is completely unconventional.

"Understood, boss."

After the meeting ended, Gu Heng walked out of the somewhat oppressive office building and exhaled a long puff of white breath.

After doing all this, he felt much more relaxed.

He took out his phone and dialed the number he knew by heart.

"Feed?"

Yang Mi's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone, still with a nasal tone from not having woken up properly.

"Young lady, the sun's already high in the sky, aren't you up yet?"

"Mind your own business! I'm taking my beauty sleep."

Yang Mi was whimpering, clearly still reluctant to part with her dreamland.

"I'll give you half an hour. Dress up nicely, and I'll take you to a nice place."

"No! I want to sleep!"

"Want to go ice skating?"

"..."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

"Address! I'll be right there!"

Gu Heng smiled and shook his head, then put away his phone.

Houhai Lake in winter is one of the liveliest places in Beijing. The wide ice surface is full of people wearing thick winter clothes.

Gu Heng had just changed into his ice skates when he saw that familiar figure.

Yang Mi was wearing a long pink down jacket, and her fluffy white hat made her small face look even more delicate, like a porcelain doll carved from jade.

"Gu Heng!"

She flew towards him like a happy little bird.

Gu Heng skillfully reached out and steadily supported her just as she was about to lose control of the vehicle.

"Slow down, what's the rush?"

"I was just worried you'd be getting impatient," Yang Mi said, sticking out her tongue.

She clearly doesn't skate often; as soon as she stepped onto the ice, she wobbled like a clumsy little duck.

Gu Heng took her hand and led her slowly gliding on the ice.

The girl's hands were soft, and they felt warm in his palms.

"Aren't you going to start a company? How come you have time to hang out with me?" Yang Mi asked him, tilting her head to the side. Her warm breath tickled his neck.

"A hands-off manager, understand? I'm only responsible for giving orders," Gu Heng said smugly.

"Pshaw, what a load of bull."

The two held hands and skated slowly on the ice rink, chatting casually and enjoying this rare moment together.

After sliding for a while, Yang Mi's face was flushed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Heng-ge, I've been reading Jin Yong lately," she suddenly said.

"Oh? Has the sun risen in the west? Don't you get a headache just because I told you to read?"

"Ugh!" Yang Mi punched him lightly. "I'm studying on my own initiative now! For art!"

Gu Heng was amused by her serious expression.

He stopped, looked into her eyes, and suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, isn't Zhang Jizhong, the bearded man, going to remake 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'?"

"Yes, a lot of people are watching," Yang Mi nodded. "Our company is also trying to figure something out."

"Do you want to act?"

"Of course I want to! Who wouldn't want to play Little Dragon Girl?" Yang Mi said with longing.

"you?"

Gu Heng looked her up and down, then pinched her cheek and rubbed it hard.

"With your clever and quirky appearance, you're more suited to playing Guo Xiang, the 'Little Eastern Heretic,' than Little Dragon Girl."

"One glimpse of Yang Guo and your life is ruined; sixteen years of unwavering devotion. Kind, adorable, and with a touch of mischief—isn't that just you?"

Yang Mi was stunned.

Guo Xiang...

When she was reading the book, all her attention was on Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, and she didn't have a deep impression of this little girl who appeared very late in the story.

But now that Gu Heng mentioned it, the image of the girl riding a donkey, traveling all over the world to find her older brother instantly appeared in her mind.

Clever, kind, devoted, mischievous...

It seems like she really does resemble me a little?

"Huh? You know what, it actually seems to be true!"

Yang Mi immediately perked up.

She shook off Gu Heng's hand and spun around in front of him.

"Look at me, don't I look like one?"

"It looks like it, how could it not?" Gu Heng nodded with a smile.

"Then tell me quickly, what else is fun about Guo Xiang?" Yang Mi asked, her interest piqued.

"Want to know?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Catch me, and I'll tell you."

Gu Heng chuckled mischievously, then suddenly pushed off with his ice blade and darted forward.

"Hey! Gu Heng, you're cheating!"

Yang Mi chased after him angrily, and the two of them chased each other on the ice rink, laughing all the way.

After that date, the name Guo Xiang took root in Yang Mi's heart.

No longer satisfied with the company's arrangements, she took the initiative to approach Li Xiaowan for the first time and earnestly expressed her desire to win the role.

Li Xiaowan looked at the girl in front of her with a determined and eager gaze, and was somewhat surprised.

That evening.

When Yang Mi got home, she took out the thick book "The Return of the Condor Heroes" from the bookshelf.

She turned to the chapter about Fengling Ferry and read it carefully.
