After the movie ended, the dinner began.

Originally, Gu Heng was thinking of taking advantage of the banquet to eat and drink with his little fox, and take a stroll in this world of fame and fortune. If he came across a suitable project or a promising actor, he would finalize the deal immediately.

The results of it?

As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Yang Mi was like a bird released from its cage. She immediately let go of Gu Heng's hand, lifted her skirt, and went to find her group of best friends, including Tang Yan and Liu Shishi, to get together.

The girls huddled together, chattering away, completely ignoring their boss.

Well, my girlfriend ran away.

Gu Heng sighed helplessly, just about to go to the buffet table to get a plate of seafood to fill his stomach.

But before he could even touch the plate, a "wall of people" suddenly appeared in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, wow!

Han Sanping of China Film Group, Wang Xiaowang and Wang Dawang of Huayi Brothers, Yu Dong of Bona Film Group, Wang Changtian of Enlight Media...

These bigwigs in the domestic film and television industry, whose every move could cause an earthquake, seem to have conspired together.

They completely surrounded Gu Heng, so much so that not even a fly could get in.

There were many female celebrities and aspiring directors in the banquet hall, some of whom were carrying scripts or hoping to climb the social ladder. Upon seeing this scene, their eyes lit up with envy.

That's Gu Heng!

Even a small leak in their hands would be enough for them to live on for a lifetime.

As a result, many people who considered themselves to be somewhat attractive or talented, and even some business owners, wanted to come over, offer a toast, and get to know them.

Holding a wine glass, he tried to move closer.

But they had only taken two steps forward when...

Wang Zhonglei and Yu Dong, those two old foxes, were quick-witted and nimble-fingered, immediately heading over with their wine glasses in hand.

"Xiaoqian, come on, let's go over there for a drink..."

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, it's been a long time! Let's discuss that project from last time in more detail..."

With a few words, and by pulling and tugging, they managed to intercept those who tried to get close to Gu Heng, and eventually led them to a corner of the hall.

Gu Heng held a glass of champagne, watching these big shots actually take on the work of security guards, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"I'm saying, bosses and uncles."

Gu Heng sighed helplessly, "You guys are making quite a show of force. Did you come here to work part-time as bodyguards?"

"Let me make this clear beforehand: Vision Entertainment is really broke right now and can't afford such expensive appearance fees for you guys."

Upon hearing this, Han Sanping burst into hearty laughter and patted Gu Heng on the shoulder.

"Don't be so smug, kid! You're still young and don't know how murky this industry is. This is just to prevent those with ulterior motives from trying to scam you for a pittance!"

Yu Dong and Wang Changtian, who had just returned, nodded in agreement.

"That's right, that's right." Wang Changtian smiled like an old chrysanthemum.

Are you kidding me?

Gu Heng cursed inwardly.

Damn it, these old foxes talk such high-sounding words, but to put it bluntly, they're just hoarding their food!

These companies finally managed to squeeze in, how could they just stand by and watch others get a piece of the pie?

However, Gu Heng didn't care. In business, whoever could bring the greatest benefits to Yuanjian would naturally be included in his business.

This time it's your place, but next time it might not be.

The morning after the banquet, Huang Xiaoming and his team boarded flights to various parts of the country, embarking on a frantic roadshow tour.

Anyway, they don't have girlfriends...

wrong.

Anyway, all three of them are currently in the honeymoon phase. People with girlfriends have to work even harder to earn money, otherwise how will they buy their girlfriends bags?

Of course, Boss Gu would never admit that he was ruthlessly exploiting labor, calling it a contribution to the Chinese film industry.

This group of people went to great lengths for the film's box office, and they caused a frenzy in every city they visited.

As for Vision Entertainment, those who were supposed to be on holiday have already done so.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Heng gave everyone a big red envelope as their year-end bonus, making the employees so happy that they wished they could erect a longevity tablet for Boss Gu.

However, since "The Partner" is set to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, some people from the publicity and logistics departments will naturally have to stay and work overtime.

Gu Heng didn't mince words with these struggling migrant workers who stayed behind; he made his position clear.

Overtime pay during the Chinese New Year holiday is increased several times over! In addition, there are large red envelopes and holiday adjustments after the holiday.

Upon hearing this news, the employees, who were initially somewhat resentful, instantly became incredibly enthusiastic, shouting that they would fight for the company to the very last moment.

After all, in this day and age, who would turn down money?

Time flies, and it's already the 29th day of the Lunar New Year.

Gu Heng and Yang Mi looked at each other in the courtyard.

I was thinking that since it's Chinese New Year, this quaint courtyard should have some festive atmosphere.

So the two of them excitedly hauled a whole trunk full of red lanterns, Spring Festival couplets, "Fu" characters, and paper-cut window decorations from Panjiayuan, ready to make a big splash.

The result... the ideal was quite lofty, but the reality was so harsh that it made you want to curse.

The two of them carried the wooden ladder up and down, pasting glue and hanging lanterns, working on it for a whole afternoon. They were so tired that their backs ached, but they only managed to hang half of the covered walkway in the front yard!

This four-courtyard house is absolutely huge!

Yang Mi slumped down on the stone steps under the pillar, still clutching a half-cut piece of red paper in her hand, panting as she made her accusations.

"Gu Heng! It's all your fault! You insisted on buying such a huge yard! Is this even fit for a human to live in? If you wanted to work me to death, just say so!"

Gu Heng wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, rolled his eyes in annoyance, and put the red lantern in his hand on the ground.

"You think it's too big? Fine, then let's put this yard up for sale after the New Year and buy a tiny two-bedroom apartment of about 100 square meters near the Third Ring Road to squeeze into?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Yang Mi, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, suddenly brightened up and jumped up like a zombie, her eyes filled with excitement:

"Great! 100 square meters is just right!"

"It's just the two of us living here, so we don't need to hire so many cleaning ladies. It's so cozy!"

"You cook in the kitchen, I play games in the living room, and I can see you as soon as I look up—it's perfect!"

Seeing that this girl had already started imagining her future home life, Gu Heng couldn't help but chuckle.

He walked over and ruffled her hair, echoing her words.

"Okay, since the landlady has spoken, let's look for a cozy 100-square-meter apartment after the New Year."

"hey-hey."

Ultimately, it was impossible to sell this enormous courtyard house.

So what should we do about this arrangement?

The two decisively chose to give up.

Gu Heng made a phone call and summoned a professional housekeeping and cleaning team.

Watching a group of aunties deftly sweeping snow, wiping windows, and hanging lanterns in the yard, Gu Heng sat with Yang Mi in the heated room, eating sunflower seeds.

This is life!
