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

After the start of the school year, Gu Heng's life became exceptionally busy.

He felt as if he had been split in two.

Half of the students are Gu Heng, a high school student in school uniform. Every day, he sits in the classroom, listening to the knowledge points that he already knows by heart, and occasionally he has to deal with the teacher's questions and his classmates' chatter.

The other half is Gu Heng, the behind-the-scenes boss of Vision Capital, who listens to Chen Kai's reports on the company's operations during his spare time after school.

The tension of this dual identity left him feeling deeply exhausted.

He knew in his heart that time was his most precious resource. Wasting his life on repetitive learning that had already lost its meaning was a crime.

It's time for a change.

One afternoon in mid-March, Gu Heng knocked directly on the door of the homeroom teacher's office.

"Report."

The homeroom teacher, a Mediterranean-looking man in his fifties, was leisurely drinking tea when he saw Gu Heng and seemed somewhat surprised.

"Gu Heng? Is something the matter?"

Gu Heng didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"Teacher, I would like to apply for long-term homeschooling."

The homeroom teacher spat out a mouthful of hot tea, almost burning his own hand.

He adjusted his glasses and looked at Gu Heng in disbelief.

"Gu Heng, you're only a sophomore in high school? Are you kidding me?"

"I'm very serious."

Gu Heng took a thick stack of test papers out of his schoolbag and placed them on the homeroom teacher's desk.

"These are the mock exams I made for all high school subjects, as well as some introductory questions for university majors."

"School courses no longer mean much to me. I hope to have more time to do things that are more valuable."

For the next week, Gu Heng's name became the most discussed topic in the teachers' offices throughout the school.

Teachers from all subjects took turns conducting a comprehensive diagnostic test on him.

The result was unexpected by everyone.

Gu Heng's knowledge far exceeds that of a high school student.

Ultimately, after Gu Heng promised to participate in all final exams and guarantee that his grades would be among the top in his grade, the school surprisingly approved his application.

And just like that, a brilliant leave request was born.

The moment Gu Heng received the leave slip, he let out a long sigh of relief.

become free.

And the first person he wanted to share this joy with was the most important person in his life.

As evening falls, the city lights begin to twinkle.

The two sat down in a famous Western restaurant in Beijing.

Soft lighting, soothing music, and waiters in tuxedos.

Yang Mi fiddled with the knife and fork in front of her somewhat nervously, and asked in a low voice.

"How come you suddenly have time? And you invited me to such an expensive place."

"I'll have free time every day from now on." Gu Heng cut a small piece of steak and put it on her plate. "The long holiday has been approved."

Yang Mi's eyes widened instantly. "You're so amazing..."

"So-so, third in the world." Gu Heng raised his chin smugly.

Yang Mi was amused by him and giggled. She ate her steak in small bites, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Um... Brother Heng." She hesitated before speaking.

"Um?"

"My...my company might have managed to get me an audition for the role of Guo Xiang."

"That's great." Gu Heng poured her a glass of juice.

"But..." Yang Mi's voice lowered, "I'm a little scared."

She put down her knife and fork, rested her chin on her hands, and looked at him with her fox-like eyes blinking.

"So many people are vying for one role. What if I don't perform well and get eliminated? That would be so embarrassing."

Young girls are always exceptionally sensitive.

However, Gu Heng did not say anything encouraging.

"What kind of person do you think Guo Xiang was?"

Yang Mi thought for a moment and said, "Cute, kind, and a little willful."

"Anything else?"

"Hmm...very devoted?"

Gu Heng shook his head.

"What you said is all true, but it's all just superficial."

He wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"The core charm of the character Guo Xiang lies in her insight and chivalry."

Gu Heng looked at the girl in front of him and thought to himself.

Actually, you are the one who most resembles Guo Xiang.

"She was born on Peach Blossom Island, her maternal grandfather was Huang Yaoshi, and her parents were Guo Jing and Huang Rong. From a young age, she was accustomed to the most prominent figures and events in the martial arts world. Therefore, she viewed the world as equal, without fear or flattery. This is her insightful understanding."

"At Fengling Ferry, she heard the legend of the Condor Hero and longed to meet him. To meet him, she was willing to follow the complete strangers, the Ghosts of the Western Hills, into the lion's den without hesitation. That was her chivalry."

"Her feelings for Yang Guo were those of a young girl's admiration, but not entirely romantic love. So when she learned that Yang Guo only had Xiaolongnü in his heart, she was sad, but she offered her blessings more than anything else."

As Gu Heng described it, a vivid image of a young girl appeared in Yang Mi's mind.

Yang Mi listened intently, feeling as if she had grasped the key to the role.

"You just need to portray her charm and purity, and put your own little bit of cleverness and stubbornness into it, that's enough."

Gu Heng looked at her and concluded.

"I don't know about others, but I believe in you; you are the most suitable Guo Xiang."

At that moment, the neon lights outside the window shone brightly in Gu Heng's eyes.

Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat.

An idea popped into my head uncontrollably.

You've fallen in love.

You're in trouble.

On the last day of March, the weather in Beijing had warmed up.

Chen Kai called.

"Boss, good news." Chen Kai's voice was tinged with excitement. "The producer of 'Bright Sword' called back and said he's very interested in our investment and wants to schedule a time to discuss it in detail."

"Well done."

Gu Heng smiled.

This connection has finally been established.

He had just hung up the phone when it rang again.

His smile deepened when he saw the name on the caller ID.

"Feed?"

"Gu Heng! I got it! I really got it!"

Yang Mi's barely suppressed scream came from the other end of the phone, so loud that Gu Heng had to hold the phone away a little.

"Rong Xinda officially notified me that I have a spot in the audition for the role of Guo Xiang in 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'!"

"Congratulations, Miss Yang."

"Hmph, that's more like it." Yang Mi snorted smugly, then changed the subject.

"I don't care, you have to be with me on the day of the audition!"

"Otherwise, otherwise I'll... I'll tell my dad you bullied me!"

"Alright, alright, as you command, my Miss Guo."

Gu Heng smiled and agreed.

Of course he will go.

Even if Yang Mi didn't say anything, he would stay there every step of the way.

In her previous life, she paid a heavy price to seize this opportunity.

He vaguely recalled that in a later interview, she had mentioned that she was publicly reprimanded and even physically assaulted by the director for not performing a crying scene well. There were also painful rumors that she had four healthy teeth extracted in order to make her face look better on camera.

Those past events, both true and false, all point to one fact: for a girl with no background to make a name for herself in that circle, she needs to do far more than just work hard.

It won't happen in this lifetime.

Miss Guo's path in the martial arts world must be smooth.
