"That's good. The most important thing in life is happiness. Just live however makes you happy," Awei continued.

"Something's not right. I feel like there's something behind your words. Did something happen to you?" Chen Xiaoqi, who was standing next to him, sensed that Awei was acting strangely, so she spoke up.

"What else could I possibly have to say? I was just sharing my feelings. Okay, enough about me, let's get back to business." Awei said, looking at Chen Xiaoqi.

Chapter 395 Feeling Deeply Warm 1

However, the more Chen Xiaoqi looked at Awei in front of her, the more she felt that something was wrong. So Chen Xiaoqi looked at Awei carefully and scrutinized him.

Ah Wei, who was being stared at by Chen Xiaoqi, naturally felt uncomfortable. So Ah Wei said, "My dear lady, can you please stop staring at me like that? Let's talk things out. I can't stand it."

"Hmph, you still want to hide it from me? Tell me what happened!" Chen Xiaoqi said, looking at Awei.

"Nothing much, I just got divorced," Awei said calmly. Although his tone was indifferent, he was actually quite heartbroken.

"Huh? This is nothing, what happened? Aren't you two together and getting along really well?" Chen Xiaoqi said in surprise.

"My dear aunt, can I call you aunt? Don't say this so loudly, there are so many people here." After hearing what Chen Xiaoqi said, Awei quickly looked around and then said anxiously.

"Oh, what are you afraid of? You're not exactly a public figure." Chen Xiaoqi laughed immediately after hearing this, and then continued.

“Even if I’m not a public figure, I can’t let you say that to me,” Awei said speechlessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll keep my voice down. Tell me, what exactly happened?" Chen Xiaoqi asked in a low voice.

“Let’s not talk about my business today, let’s talk about yours,” Awei said.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoqi saw that Awei was a little sad, so she stopped rubbing salt in his wounds. Then Chen Xiaoqi continued, "Right, right, how could I forget about this? Let's not talk about you today, let's just talk about me, about my work. What do you think we should do?"

"You're quite good at playing along with me." Ah Wei, who was standing next to Chen Xiaoqi, immediately laughed after hearing what she said. Then he continued.

"Look at you, you've completely baffled me. What exactly do you want to do? Do you want me to ask you questions, or do you not? I don't understand," Chen Xiaoqi said speechlessly.

"Hahaha, no, no, okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's get to the point, let's get to the point." Ah Wei quickly said after hearing this.

"Hmm, that's more like it." Chen Xiaoqi said calmly after taking a sip of water.

However, at that very moment, the waiter came over to serve the food.

When Chen Xiaoqi saw the dishes she had been craving arrive, she put her worries aside and began to eat heartily.

Seeing Chen Xiaoqi's expression, Awei stopped talking about work, because he knew that in Chen Xiaoqi's world, eating was the most important thing.

So Ah Wei stopped thinking about these things and started eating heartily.

After taking a few bites, Chen Xiaoqi, though still not satisfied, had at least satisfied her craving.

So she continued, "Alright, alright, let's eat and talk about business."

However, after hearing this, Ah Wei deliberately acted nonchalant, and lazily looked up and asked Chen Xiaoqi, "Ah, now?"

"Oh, that's fine later. Let's eat first." Chen Xiaoqi immediately started talking again when she saw this.

"Haha, I'm just kidding. You think everyone's like you, so greedy? Okay, let's get down to business," Awei said with a laugh.

"Tell me the truth, do you have something on your mind?" Chen Xiaoqi asked, looking at Awei.

“What can I do? You should ask yourself if you have any ideas. You need to understand, this is your business.” Awei said to Chen Xiaoqi deliberately.

However, Chen Xiaoqi didn't realize that Awei was joking, so she said, "Yeah, I know. Well, I always thought we had a pretty good relationship. When I quit, you were the one who helped me solve so many problems, so when I decided to make a comeback, the first person I thought of was you. I wanted to tell you first, but I understand things at the company, and it's not something you can decide alone. You've already helped me a lot, and I understand. Okay, then I'll figure out what to do next. Just know this, and don't blame me later for not telling you when I made my comeback."

"Haha, okay, don't worry, I won't say anything to you," Awei said with a laugh.

So Chen Xiaoqi nodded.

Just then, Ah Wei, who was standing next to him, started to say again: "When you went to the company today and saw how it was, didn't you want to do anything? You said you felt distant from them. Like two extremes, two different channels. Did you ever think about breaking that mirror image?"

"This isn't something I can decide," Chen Xiaoqi said with a wry smile.

"Yes, of course I know, but don't worry. I'll definitely help you," Ah Wei said again.

"Huh?" Chen Xiaoqi was taken aback when she heard this.

"What do you mean 'ah'? Don't worry," Awei said firmly.

"Actually, it's really not necessary. You can't go against the company's wishes just because of me. You've already helped me a lot, and I remember it all." Chen Xiaoqi said emotionally.

Upon hearing this, Ah Wei immediately said, "I'm not helping you at all, I'm helping myself! Have you forgotten how much profit you brought me when you were popular? And most importantly, I'm really not satisfied with Xiuxiu. To be honest, before you came to the company today, I had been looking for someone with potential, but I hadn't found anyone. I was really surprised to see you here today. But I think you're the most suitable candidate, and I believe that if we continue to promote you, the company's profits will definitely be better than they are now."

"You're really overestimating me. I'm nowhere near as amazing as you make me out to be. And you forgot, you just said that my current situation isn't good. Many fans don't like me anymore. Some are even blaming me," Chen Xiaoqi said, looking up at Awei.

After Chen Xiaoqi finished speaking, she continued to look at Awei, waiting for his reply.

Chapter 396 Feeling Warmth 2

However, at this moment, Awei was also thinking about what Chen Xiaoqi had said. What Chen Xiaoqi said was indeed a problem.

"Don't worry about this. It's not a big deal. I think if we hold a press conference for you, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy. That way, you'll become famous. So it's not necessarily a bad thing. The more people criticize you, the more popular you are." After thinking for a while, Awei said with a smile.

"Ah Wei, I really have to admire your logic." Chen Xiaoqi, who was standing next to Ah Wei, also laughed at Ah Wei's words.

"Haha, of course! If I didn't have a certain level of wisdom, how could I have stayed in this position?" Awei said without any modesty after hearing what Chen Xiaoqi said.

"You've become even more narcissistic than my brother now," Chen Xiaoqi said helplessly.

"I wouldn't dare compare. In my memory, your brother is much more narcissistic than me. By the way, speaking of your brother, how is he doing these days?" Ah Wei asked.

"Yeah, he's doing great," Chen Xiaoqi said, looking at Awei.

“Have you ever thought about having your brother invest in you again? In the beginning, your first big film was directed by him.” Awei began to share his thoughts.

"What do you mean?" Chen Xiaoqi asked, not quite understanding.

“Look, for example, what I’m saying to the company for you right now, you know, Mr. Wu is currently heavily promoting Xiuxiu, which is quite difficult. Even if I try my best to help you, it will take time. You’re also different from the newcomers I’m looking for. If I can bring back some new, promising actors, they can directly enter the company for training, but you’re different from them, right? This is a situation we have to consider,” Awei continued.

"Why do I feel like you're so contradictory? What exactly are you trying to say? Is it okay or not?" Chen Xiaoqi was a little confused by Awei. One minute Awei said he would help her hold a press conference and help her get back into the company, and the next minute he was talking about her brother.

"Hey, don't rush, let me explain slowly," Ah Wei quickly said upon seeing this.

“I think I understand what you mean. You mean you want my brother to invest money in me, right? So he can find a director to make movies for me,” Chen Xiaoqi asked Awei directly.

"Yes, that's roughly what I mean. Because this is currently the fastest route for you." Ah Wei nodded and said.

"No way, I don't agree! My brother has a family now, it's different from before! Back then, he was alone, and so was I. Now we both have our own families, how can I let my brother invest in me?" Chen Xiaoqi quickly refused.

"Huh? Your brother got married too? How come everyone in your family gets married so fast?" Ah Wei asked in surprise.

"Please, I'm talking to you about serious matters right now. Where is your attention? My brother has his own family now. He has my sister-in-law to support, and her family to support. This is simply not going to work," Chen Xiaoqi continued.

“I think it’s great. What’s there to be confused about? This is an investment. Your brother is investing in you. It’s not like you’re asking him for money and then never paying him back. You have to believe in yourself. Once you’re famous again, you’ll be able to repay your brother even more,” Awei continued.

"No, no, I still feel this is a bit unreliable. Let's think of another way," he said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ah Wei immediately said, "Okay, since you don't want to use this method, let's continue to think of other ways. I'll go back and try a different approach and talk to the company about it. It might take a while, but I'll do my best. Don't worry."

"Yes, I'm completely at ease entrusting this matter to you," Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile to Awei.

"Okay, then I'll do my best. I'll try to save you some time," Ah Wei said quickly.

"Okay, okay, okay," Chen Xiaoqi quickly replied.

"Eat quickly, it's getting a little cold," Ah Wei said after taking a bite of the food.

"Mmm," Chen Xiaoqi quickly replied.

After Chen Xiaoqi finished speaking, she began to eat her food heartily. She hadn't had this kind of food in a long time and missed it.

In a short while, Chen Xiaoqi and Awei finished eating. They had also pretty much finished discussing their business. So Chen Xiaoqi said, "Okay, let's go then."

"Okay, where are you going? Going straight home?" Ah Wei quickly replied after hearing this.

“Yes, there’s nothing else going on, right? I need to go home! Oh, right, my car is still parked near the company, we can go a bit further along the way.” Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"Haha, let's go." Ah Wei said with a laugh at this moment.

After settling the bill, Chen Xiaoqi and Awei started walking back to the company. It was at this moment that Awei began to tell Chen Xiaoqi about some recent events at the company.

“After you left, Xiuxiu started coming over. At first, she was alright, but ever since she became famous, her temper has become terrible. She often takes her anger out on her assistants or minor celebrities,” Awei said.

However, Chen Xiaoqi, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but reflect on herself after hearing this, and then said, "When you said that she became famous and her temper became very bad, I thought of myself. My family also said that I have become very bad-tempered since I became famous."

“It’s not just the two of you, it’s a different situation. She said she would mistreat others, which is something you wouldn’t do, so that’s why I support you. No matter how famous you become, you’re still kind at heart, while she’s different. She’s very prone to jealousy and will take her temper out on others, which is what I can’t accept about her the most.”

"It seems you're quite dissatisfied with her," Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile, looking at Awei.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with her. It's just that I'm a very upright person and I can't stand how she treats others. I can't accept her personality. I've never said anything to her before, and I haven't paid much attention to her affairs. From the perspective of the company, I haven't done a good job in this regard." As Awei spoke, he began to reflect on himself.

Chapter 397 Feeling Warmth 3

Chen Xiaoqi was a little unaccustomed to Awei's sudden change in demeanor. He hadn't been acting like this just a moment ago, so why was he so serious now? This left Chen Xiaoqi feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Wei, why have you suddenly become so serious? I'm not used to you being like this. You were better when you were a little cheeky just now," Chen Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"Look at you, you're not used to me being serious. Fine, I won't say these things to you anymore," Awei said with a smile.

“Actually, I know all of what you just said. I went to the company today and I could tell that she is indeed quite flamboyant,” Chen Xiaoqi continued.

“Yeah, you’ll understand after a day there, so you don’t need to say anything more to me. I’ve been watching her every day, tolerating her and not saying much. I don’t care what she does. Otherwise, she’d go and complain to Mr. Wu, which is so annoying.” Awei said helplessly again.

"Alright, alright, I'm not going to talk about this anymore. It's really not good for the two of us to talk about others behind their backs like this," Chen Xiaoqi said again.

"Okay, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Soon I'll be seen as a backstabber." As soon as Ah Wei heard this, he immediately started talking.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoqi immediately burst out laughing. They then quickly arrived at the company.

"Then you go drive, I'll go up first," Awei said to Chen Xiaoqi.

"Okay, you can go now," Chen Xiaoqi said, waving to Awei.

"Call me if anything happens, and drive carefully," Ah Wei continued.

"Okay, I'm going back now. You go up too, bye-bye," Chen Xiaoqi continued, then turned and drove off. Awei also prepared to go up; he had things to do at the company.

Chen Xiaoqi called Li Ran while she was on her way.

The phone rang only twice before Li Ran quickly picked it up. He then asked, "How are things on your end? Nothing happened, right?"

"I'm fine." Chen Xiaoqi could hear the worry in Li Ran's voice on the phone, so she quickly said.

"That's good, that's good. I'm so glad you're alright. I was worried something might have happened to you. I didn't dare call you because I didn't want to bother you," Li Ran continued.

"Don't worry, what could possibly happen to me? Nothing's wrong. Um, I'm on my way back now. What time are you coming back today?" Chen Xiaoqi continued.
