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

The temperature plummeted at night in Xiangshan Film and Television City.

The food on set was still terrible, but he remained remarkably consistent.

After eating this for several days in a row, Yang Mi felt that her life was losing its color.

So, when Gu Heng magically produced that familiar little electric cooker...

Yang Mi, who was sprawled on the sofa pretending to be dead just a second ago, instantly came back to life.

"Is dinner served?!"

She sat up with a jolt and began circling around Gu Heng.

Gu Heng skillfully connected the power supply, unpacked the hot pot base he had bought in advance, and threw it into the pot.

grunt.

The rich aroma of butter mixed with the spiciness of chili peppers almost instantly filled the entire room.

He then took out boxes of neatly arranged ingredients from an insulated bag.

Fresh beef slices, tripe, duck blood, vegetables, and Yang Mi's favorite rice cake.

"When did you buy it?" Yang Mi asked, leaning over the table, practically burying her face in the pot.

"Money can make the devil turn the millstone, let alone turn a vegetable."

Gu Heng handed her the chopsticks.

"Don't just watch, take action."

"Okay!"

Yang Mi cheered and picked up a slice of beef, dipping it up and down in the bubbling red oil soup.

She couldn't wait to put it in her mouth, her eyes squinting with happiness.

"tasty!"

This overpowering fragrance not only captivated Yang Mi, but also began to sneak out restlessly through the crack in the door.

It's like an invisible hand, luring every hungry soul in the corridor.

dong dong dong.

Just then, there was a light knock on the door.

Yang Mi's mouth was full of food, and she asked indistinctly.

Who is it?

Gu Heng got up and opened the door.

Standing at the door was Liu Yifei, wearing a long white down jacket.

She was holding two bottles of AD calcium in her hand, and it seemed she wanted to come and visit Yang Mi.

During this period, the two of them were the only two people in the crew who were close in age, so they naturally started hanging out together.

But at this moment, the ethereal beauty's cool phoenix eyes were uncontrollably glancing into the room.

The tip of her small nose twitched almost imperceptibly.

Gu Heng chuckled inwardly. It seemed even the fairy-like beauty couldn't resist the temptation of spicy hot pot.

"Yifei, come in and sit down."

When Yang Mi saw it was her, she waved enthusiastically, while subtly taking two more bites of meat from her own bowl.

Liu Yifei walked into the room, her gaze falling on the steaming pot on the table, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"Did I... disturb you?"

"No, no, we're eating right now. Want to join us?" Gu Heng invited with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah, Yifei, Gu Heng prepared so much, we can't possibly eat it all," Yang Mi chimed in.

Mainly, she felt that it was a bit unfair to eat alone.

Looking into their sincere eyes, and smelling the tempting aroma, he thought.

Liu Yifei hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then... I'll take my leave."

Gu Heng took out a clean set of bowls and chopsticks from the spare tableware, rinsed them with hot water, and handed them to her.

The "Fairy Sister's" fighting power is clearly no match for Yang Mi's, a foodie.

She ate the vegetables and rice cakes in small bites, her nose sweating from the spiciness, but she still couldn't help but eat one bite after another.

After that day, the news that Gu Heng had hidden a "small kitchen" in his hotel room spread like wildfire.

Filming on set is tough, and the food is often inadequate, so many actors have to survive on snacks and instant noodles.

Gu Heng's appearance was like a fire from Prometheus.

He's not stingy at all.

After filming night scenes, he would cook a big pot of steaming hot egg noodles and share them with the crew members who were shivering from the cold.

After a day of stunt work, when his stuntmen were sore from being suspended by wires, he would cook a pot of warm white porridge and serve it with a few refreshing side dishes.

Over time, people's goodwill towards this young man, who was not very old but was steady and reliable, skyrocketed.

I don't know who started it, but the term "Brother Gu" just started coming out like that.

From the stuntmen to the lighting crew masters, and even some extras who were older than him, they all started calling him that.

That day, after filming a long night scene, everyone was exhausted.

Gu Heng found Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei removing their makeup.

"Xiaoming, Yifei, you've worked hard today. I'm planning to have hot pot tonight, let's come over and have some fun, warm ourselves up?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaoming smiled and agreed.

"Great! I've heard that your place is the film crew's late-night canteen, Brother Gu. I'll have to give it a try today!"

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded.

Thus, the Huayu version of the hotpot group was born.

Inside the room, the hot pot steamed, and the four people sat around it.

"Xiao Gu, your cooking skills are impressive. It's a shame you're not running a restaurant." Huang Xiaoming picked up a piece of tripe with his chopsticks, panting as it was scalding hot, but he still praised it highly.

"Brother Xiaoming, you flatter me. It's mainly due to the hot pot broth, it has little to do with me." Gu Heng smiled and poured him a glass of plum juice.

Liu Yifei also spoke up, her face slightly flushed from the steam, "It tastes even better than the noodles at restaurants."

Hearing everyone praise Gu Heng, Yang Mi was so proud of herself that her tail practically wagging in the air; she was even happier than if she had been praised herself.

While she kept scooping meat into her bowl, she didn't forget to "show off" to Gu Heng.

"Our Gu Heng is amazing, there's nothing he can't do."

That innate air of intimacy and pride made Liu Yifei's eyes flash with a hint of envy.

She watched as Gu Heng naturally helped Yang Mi put the cooked shrimp paste into her bowl, carefully blew on it, and gently reminded her, "Eat slowly, be careful it's hot." Her eyes softened considerably.

"Have you two known each other since you were little?" she asked curiously.

"Yes." Yang Mi swallowed the food in her mouth. "My dad and his dad were comrades-in-arms. We grew up together. He's like my brother."

"Childhood sweethearts, how wonderful," Liu Yifei exclaimed sincerely.

Huang Xiaoming, on the other hand, was more interested in Gu Heng's other side.

"Xiao Gu, I heard from the crew that you've already started your own investment company while you're still in high school?"

This was no secret within the film crew.

Gu Heng didn't deliberately publicize it, but he didn't hide it either.

"Yeah, just dabbling, earning a little pocket money," Gu Heng said modestly.

"This is no small matter."

Huang Xiaoming shook his head. He himself also makes some investments and knows all too well how complicated the market is.

"I heard that many people in the industry are waiting to see you fail with the TV series 'Bright Sword' that you invested in before."

"Really?" Gu Heng smiled and added another plate of fatty beef to the pot.

"So what do you think?" Huang Xiaoming stared at him with great interest.

Gu Heng picked up the serving chopsticks and put some freshly cooked meat into everyone's bowl before speaking slowly and deliberately.

"I believe the market will tell whether a show is good or bad. I trust my judgment, just as I trust the broth in this pot."

Huang Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Impressive," he said sincerely. "When we're both back in Yanjing next year, let's chat sometime. I still have a lot to learn from you when it comes to investing."

"You're too kind, Brother Xiaoming. Let's exchange ideas."

Gu Heng knew that the biggest investment this person had made was holding shares in Huayi, which would later make him a billionaire.

The conversation then shifted from investment to schools.

When they learned that Gu Heng and Yang Mi both aimed for the Beijing Film Academy, Huang Xiaoming, a senior student, and Liu Yifei, a current student, became interested.

"That's great! You'll be juniors from now on," Huang Xiaoming laughed. "The teachers at Beijing Film Academy are all pretty good. You two are so talented, you'll definitely be fine."

Liu Yifei added, "Once you get accepted to university, I'll take you around campus and let you eat your way through the backstreets."

"Okay, okay!" Yang Mi readily agreed.

We ate hot pot from 9 pm until almost midnight.

Before leaving, Huang Xiaoming patted Gu Heng's shoulder forcefully.

"Xiao Gu, if you need anything on set in the future, just let me know. Don't be shy with me."

Liu Yifei also told Yang Mi, "Keep in touch after you return to Yanjing."

After the two left, the room finally returned to silence.

Yang Mi sprawled contentedly on the sofa, patting her round belly.

"belch……"

She let out a delicate burp, her face full of happiness.

Gu Heng shook his head helplessly as he cleaned up the mess on the table.

"Promising."

Yang Mi rolled over, lay on the back of the sofa, looked at his back, and suddenly laughed.

"Gu Heng".

"Um?"

"I feel like I get to eat meat every day when I'm with you."
