On the morning of July 25, Chen Xihua woke up and prepared to go to the Fanghua store's main branch to say hello again.

I'll also ask Wang Ying to confirm the opening of the Haishi store, and then I'll be heading back to Gaoyang County.

Wang Ying rushed back from Shanghai a few days ago. Knowing that Chen Xihua would be going to the provincial capital, she said she wanted to pick him up in person.

However, the Lihua store in Haishi has just finished its renovation, and the clothes from the Lihua Garment Factory will be ready in August.

After passing Yutian Square, you'll find Fanghua's flagship store right ahead.

Chen Xihua was walking in a bit of a hurry and didn't notice that someone had been following her for quite a distance.

"Little girl, little girl, wait, you walk so fast."

An Chuyuan followed the young girl for quite a distance. He was only in his early forties, and he was actually a little out of breath from walking with her.

Doesn't this little girl get tired? She doesn't stop for a moment.

Chen Xihua stopped when she heard the voice and waited for the man who called her from behind.

She turned her head and found that the man who had been following her all the way had long, flowing hair, a full beard, and was unkempt.

If it weren't for the fact that his clothes looked clean, Chen Xihua would have mistaken him for a homeless person.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Little girl, do you want to be a big star? Do you want to act in movies?"

An Chuyuan approached, took a breath to catch his breath, and asked excitedly.

This little girl is really pretty. She has almond-shaped eyes that are dark and bright, beautiful eyebrows, a straight nose, delicate features, fair skin, and a good height and proportion. She is the leading lady in his movie.

"I don't want to be a celebrity," Chen Xihua politely declined.

Her third sister wants to be a star, but she doesn't. However, if she were to become one, she would be the boss of the stars.

"No, young lady, you are really suited to be a star. I'm preparing to shoot a movie, and I can let you play the lead role."

An Chuyuan was not giving up. He searched for several months and finally found one that satisfied him.

"Thank you, but I don't act." Chen Xihua's tone was more direct.

"Young lady, how about this, we'll leave you our contact number, and you can think about it."

"My name is An Chuyuan. This is my contact address and phone number." An Chuyuan really didn't want to miss her, so he handed his business card to Chen Xihua.

“…An Chuyuan??” Chen Xihua stopped in her tracks upon hearing this.

That name sounds familiar; I'm sure I've heard it before. Who is it? Yes, it's mentioned in the original book.

The female lead, Zhou Qingqing, has a fourth brother, Zhou Qingyang, who is a star. When he debuted, he collaborated with An Chuyuan, the most popular "genius director" at the time, on a movie and became an instant hit.

An Chuyuan experienced a period of hardship in his middle age, and there is also a touching story about it.

An Chuyuan came from the countryside. After being admitted to university, he fell in love with Liu Su, a rich girl in his class.

Liu Su was also attracted to this talented male classmate.

Even though Liu's parents disagreed with their daughter marrying a poor boy, the two still secretly got married after graduation.

After An Chuyuan and Liu Su got married, they were always very loving and never had any arguments. However, it was a bit of a pity that they didn't have children for ten years.

Liu Su had been examined and found that she was infertile, but An Chuyuan didn't care.

However, Liu Su didn't want her husband to be childless, so she spent money to find a woman to give her husband a child.

One day, Liu Su tricked An Chuyuan into going to a hotel, and before leaving, she gave him some soup to cheer him up.

However, when An Chuyuan arrived, he realized something was wrong and ran out, but he was also photographed by the media reporters.

An Chuyuan later guessed what had happened and went home to question his wife.

Liu Su also tried to threaten her husband, saying that if he didn't agree to have a child with someone else, she would divorce him or commit suicide by jumping off a building.

Unexpectedly, Liu Suzhen fell from the second floor and became a vegetable.

The hotel incident was filmed, and the woman, who wanted to climb up to An Chuyuan, also made false statements in front of the media.

With Liu Su now in a vegetative state, the Liu family practically beat An Chuyuan to death, leaving him impoverished and destitute.

An Chuyuan went from being a talented young director to a universally condemned scumbag, called a "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success in the country), and accused of cheating on his wife and driving her to suicide.

For the next four or five years, An Chuyuan did not act again, but he had been preparing a script for a movie.

He did not explain his relationship with his wife to outsiders, and continued to take care of his wife, who was in a vegetative state, by his side.

Six years after Liu Sucheng became a vegetable, she miraculously woke up.

After learning about her husband's actions over the past five or six years, she was deeply moved and no longer wanted to have children.

She revealed the reason for what happened back then to the media, and the couple's love remains as strong as ever.

An Chuyuan has started making films again, turning his script "That Girl," which he had been preparing for five or six years, into a movie, which eventually won an award.

However, even though An Chuyuan became famous again, he was still relatively poor and did not want to use his father-in-law's money.

He was very particular about his films, spending a lot of money on them, and he didn't try to curry favor with investors. No matter who tried to get their people into his productions, it was no use. Gradually, no investors wanted to put money into his films anymore, and he also spent a lot of time making each one.

However, after that, every movie that An Chuyuan starred in became a huge hit and earned him a lot of box office revenue.

Now, it will be about a year before Liu Su wakes up.

The story of An Chuyuan and his wife has always been a popular topic of conversation.

In addition, Liu Su's cousin, Liu Quan, is a famous top agent.

Liu Quan and An Chuyuan also had a good relationship, and he knew the real reason why his cousin Liu Su became a vegetable.

"Little girl, have you considered it?" An Chuyuan noticed that the little girl was staring at him and thinking quietly for a while. He thought she was interested and asked her happily.

“No, Director An, I’m not interested in acting or being a star, but I am quite interested in you.” Chen Xihua raised her eyebrows and spoke with great interest.

She has always wanted to start an entertainment company, one that has its own artists and a team of directors.

“Me?…” An Chuyuan was a little confused.

"Yes, Director An, if I want to start an entertainment company, would you be willing to cooperate with me?"

"Or you could become a shareholder of my company," Chen Xihua explained simply.

"Little girl, you're not kidding, are you?" An Chuyuan didn't expect that this little girl didn't want to be a celebrity, but a boss.

"Yes, Director An, the Fanghua store in front is mine. My name is Chen Xihua."

I have some things to attend to right now, so I'll have to go first. You can think it over carefully, and come find me at Fanghua when you've made up your mind.

After speaking very seriously, Chen Xihua turned and left.

Sister Wang should be waiting for me; I need to finalize the opening of Lihua first.

You need to have money in your hands to run an entertainment company.
