"Director Feng, how's the preparation for 'A World Without Thieves' going?"

"President Shen, preparations are almost complete. The preliminary site scouting is finished, and there's only one role that hasn't been finalized yet."

"Could she be the female lead?"

Feng Kuzi quickly waved his hand: "No, no, the lead role is definitely for Miss Zeng Li. President Wang has also agreed to this. The only thing that hasn't been decided yet is the second male lead. The main problem is that the second male lead not only needs to be simple-minded, but also needs to look rugged and have that rustic, rural vibe. It's not easy to find someone like that in the industry."

Shen Fang laughed as soon as he heard that; wasn't that Baoqiang's role?

What do you think of Huang Bo?

"Huang Bo?" Feng Kuzi looked at Huang Bo, who was dressed in a hippie outfit, grinning mischievously as he chatted idly with Zhang Ruoyun.

"Well... if you ask me, Mr. Shen, his image is quite convincing as a thug or rogue. He doesn't need to act out his bad side; it's something he's born with. But honest and simple-minded, that doesn't quite match up."

Goodness, Feng Kuzi has a sharp eye; he saw through Huang Bo's bad uncle nature at a glance.

"Give him a chance. Actually, you don't know, but his neck is just a natural country bumpkin. No decent person would dress like him. It's because he's a country bumpkin at heart that he's like this. With his appearance, if he changed his clothes, he would be absolutely tacky."

"Then let's do as you say and let him give it a try."

Shen Fang smiled; Feng Kuzi was quite obedient after all.

"Little Zhang, how about I take you out to have some fun tonight? You still look like a virgin, huh? I'll take you out to experience the taste of the real thing tonight," Huang Bo said with a wicked grin, putting his arm around Zhang Ruoyun.

"Brother Bo, can you take me with you? You always brag about knowing Dou Wei and the others. Take me to check them out tonight," Huang Xiaoming said with a smile.

"Count me in." Pan Yueming, who studied rock music, greatly admires Dou Wei.

"Okay, no problem. I'm not bragging, I was one of the first people in China to play rock music. I was in a band and even released an album. I'm friends with Dou Wei and the others."

"Brother Bo, why did you stop?"

Huang Bo.......

"Well, it's all because of my image. The company I signed with thought my image wasn't good enough, and the albums I released didn't sell well either, so the band was shut down. But I really do sing pretty well. I got into the Beijing Film Academy because of my great voice. I'll show you guys tonight."

Seeing that the three older brothers were quite easy to get along with, Zhang Ruoyun gradually integrated into the group.

"Brothers, are there only a few male artists in our company?"

"Well, the younger ones are just a few of us. The rest are all big shots, like Uncle Ming, Uncle Guoli, and Uncle Wang. They're all senior figures in the industry. You're lucky, kid. So many people in our company would kill to get in, but they can't find a way."

Huang Xiaoming nodded in agreement with Huang Bo's words: "That's true. It's really not easy to get into our company. I got in through connections. Yueming was recommended by Teacher Chen. Huang Bo and our CEO Shen are classmates. You were also recommended by your dad. Everyone who gets in is a relative. There's really no one who was selected based on their own merit. There's also Zhu Yawen, who is still filming and is also a classmate of CEO Shen."

"Our company manages male and female artists separately. From now on, you'll be hanging out with the older brothers. They'll show you how to be cool and help you soar to new heights."

"Huh? Separate management?"

Huang Bo nodded and smiled, "That's right, managing them separately is actually quite good. Although all the female artists in our company are incredibly beautiful, you don't have any other ideas, do you? No way."

Zhang Ruoyun sensed something unusual: "Brother Bo, what do you mean by that?"

Huang Bo smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out later."

Huang Xiaoming and Pan Yueming exchanged a glance; neither of them were fools.

"Does that mean we can't have any contact with the company's female artists?"

"No, it's not that serious. We're all from the same company, so we see each other all the time. Normal social interaction is no problem at all. Hailu, you can get to know her better. She's a good person, very kind, and very generous. She gets along well with all of us."

Zhang Ruoyun nodded, roughly understanding. It was obvious. Despite his young age, Zhang Ruoyun was a worldly person.

"Brother Chen Fang, dinner's ready!!!" Liu Tianxian shouted.

Shen Fang stood up: "Everyone, please take your seats."

Everyone took their seats, and Shen Fang raised his wine glass to look at Chen Daoming.

"Master, on this festive day, would you like to say a few words?"

Chen Daoming smiled: "Alright, then I'll say a few words. It's a rare festive occasion, with family and friends all seated. Enjoy the food, drinks, and fun! Wishing everyone good health and all the best. Cheers!!!"

Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip.

The dinner that evening was cooked by Liu Xiaoli, Man Shen, Yan Danchen, Shen Fang's teacher's wife, and Feng Lazi.

Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Hubei cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and local Beijing cuisine. A wide variety of flavors, a truly abundant feast.

After exchanging toasts...

At home, we set up a game of Great Wall, Dou Dizhu, and Zha Jin Hua, filling several tables.

Huang Bo, along with his new junior colleagues Xiao Ming and Yue Ming, arrived at the bar street and his old employer, Hai Shang Hua Bar.

There were quite a few customers on New Year's Day. Business is good these days, and customers are coming in droves.

Huang Bofei, with practiced ease, led several people backstage.

"Hey, Brother Bo!!! What brings you here? You're a big star now! I've watched 'My Own Swordsman' so many times, I love it! Can you sign my autograph later?"

"Brother Huang, these are some of my colleagues from the company. I brought them along today to broaden their horizons. Are Dou Xian and the others coming over tonight?"

Manager Huang Yue shook his head: "I don't know. They might come, or they might not. They're big shots. I'll let you know if they come. But Dou Peng, Young Master Zhou, and Haiquan are all here."

Huang Bo nodded and looked at Xiao Ming and the other two: "Dou Xian didn't come, but who knows, maybe she will later. Shall I take you to meet the others? They are all well-known singers."

"Young Master Zhou is here again?" Xiao Ming asked, completely bewildered.

"How strange! Her boyfriend was Dou Wei's cousin, but they broke up later. I'm very close to Xun Ge. We used to sing together all the time. Xun Ge often comes here to hang out with us. I was influenced by her to go to the Beijing Film Academy."
