Although Xie Zhan was a weak emperor, he had a lot of good things in his private treasury, so he would try his best to satisfy his beloved concubine's desires.

Now that we're in modern times, Xie Zhan feels that his wife just wants a more expensive handbag. He's a man, a husband, and he should try his best to make it happen for his wife, as long as she likes it.

Xie Zhan talked on and on, repeatedly saying, "My beloved concubine has suffered with me," which left Wen Li speechless.

Jiang Yihuan is quite something; with just a few words, she managed to turn the dim-witted emperor into a dog. She didn't even need to use manipulative tactics on him; Xie Zhan could win him over on his own.

"I'll have the finance department give you a raise next month."

Xie Zhan was still pleading with Wen Li for a raise when he suddenly heard her agree. His words caught in his throat, and then he was overjoyed and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Wen Li, you are simply my second parents. I would gladly be your son in my next life!"

Wen Li's lips twitched, and she said without hesitation, "I refuse."

Xie Zhan couldn't understand why Wen Li, an emperor, would look down on him, even though it was such an honor for her to be her son.

Xie Zhan was slightly hurt, but his attention was quickly diverted.

He earns a commission on the sales of items at the Yin-Yang Shop, and he'll try his best to buy the bag his beloved concubine likes by the end of the year!

Xie Zhan was so energetic every day that Wen Li was afraid of him.

Gradually, Wenli reduced the frequency of her visits to the funeral parlor.

When Zhou Xingyun learned that Wen Li had finished her school business, he discussed with her a few days later whether she should come back to work.

Wen Li thought about it and agreed. Since she was near the company, she went straight there.

When Xiao Xi saw that her artist had finally returned, she quickly went up to refill his tea and water. While waiting for Zhou Xingyun to arrive, Xiao Xi quietly said to Wen Li, "If you hadn't come back soon, I felt like I was going to lose my job."

Xiao Xi's words made Wen Li chuckle: "Isn't it a bit of an exaggeration?"

Xiao Xi immediately nodded: "Yes, Brother Zhou was talking about me a while ago."

"What did I say to you?"

Xiao Xi muttered, "They said I'm the most idle person in the whole company. From what I heard, it sounds like Brother Zhou wants to fire me."

Wen Li was delighted.

Before the company was established, Xiao Xi worked as an assistant to other artists in the company. Later, Wen Li felt that this was too hard, so she told Brother Zhou to let Xiao Xi work with her.

But she only works two or three months a year. When she doesn't work, Xiaoxi's workload is reduced.

Zhou Xingyun is busy like a spinning top every day, wishing he could keep an eye on all the artists in the company. Xiao Xi is so leisurely, I wonder how much envy, jealousy and hatred he felt when he said those words.

Wen Li smiled and said, "You're my assistant, Brother Zhou won't fire you."

“If it were just a regular assistant, I wouldn’t be so worried.” Seeing that Wen Lishui had finished her drink, Xiao Xi poured herself another glass and whispered, “My monthly salary is almost 30,000 yuan now.”

You know, assistants in the entertainment industry don't earn much to begin with. Even those who do earn a lot are busy as bees all day long, unlike you who have such a leisurely life.

If Brother Zhou really fires her, she'll have nowhere to turn for help.

Xiao Xi kept rambling on, while Wen Li listened attentively, occasionally smiling, not finding her little assistant's chatter annoying at all.

As soon as Zhou Xingyun entered, he heard Xiao Xi whispering to herself, so he stood in the corner and listened for a while.

"Brother Zhou is like a donkey in the production team, he never takes a break..."

Zhou Xingyun laughed in anger upon hearing this.

He coughed as he walked into the office. Xiao Xi immediately shrank back like a quail, glanced at Zhou Xingyun, and wondered if he had heard what she had said. So she silently moved closer to Wen Li.

Zhou Xingyun joked, "You all had the guts to compare me to a donkey, but now you don't have the guts to stand in front of me and say it?"

Xiao Xi quickly lowered her head: "...I was wrong, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Xingyun was quite familiar with Xiao Xi, and the girl meant him no harm, so he wouldn't take this analogy to heart at all.

Zhou Xingyun told Xiao Xi to finish her own work first, while he and Wen Li discussed the next steps.

Now that Wen Li no longer needs to go to school, she can naturally focus some of her attention back on work.

"Brother Zhou, I used to act purely to make money, but I never expected to gain so many fans in just two or three years." Wen Li said honestly, "Now I have no financial pressure, so I hope to focus on quality rather than quantity when it comes to acting."

Wen Li had considered giving up acting.

Acting and archaeology are both very time-consuming. You can balance them in the short term, but you can't balance them for a lifetime.

She loves archaeology, but she rushed into the entertainment industry and then left just as quickly, which will surely sadden her fans.

All that money came from her fans; she can't just leave so irresponsibly.

“Wen Li, we can always respect your choices.” After listening to Wen Li’s heartfelt words, Zhou Xingyun spoke gently and calmly: “The company is able to start up now largely because of your hard work. Our initial office environment was also provided by your father. So no matter if anyone surpasses you in the future, or if you leave the entertainment industry, I want you to know that without you, there would be no company today.”

Wen Li was the company's first artist.

Zhou Xingyun has managed many artists before. At first, they were quite obedient, but after gaining a fan base, they gradually became disobedient, and there were even many cases of them being stabbed by the company in the end.

Only Wen Li followed his arrangements from beginning to end. They would have some minor conflicts and different opinions, but all the conflicts were due to different ideas. Their discussions were only to find the answer.

"Okay, I'll go back and see if there are any movies or TV series that would suit you. A lot of directors have been giving you scripts lately, but I was worried you wouldn't have time, so I haven't agreed yet."

Zhou Xingyun is very capable at work. After talking with Wen Li, he immediately went back to see if there were any suitable scripts.

Two days later, Wen Li, who was telling fortunes for her fans in her office, received a call from Zhou Xingyun.

"There's a sweet and romantic campus drama script that I think is really good. It was given to me by your second brother."

Wen Li was somewhat surprised because Wen Xingming hadn't told her about it, so she asked Zhou Xingyun to send her the script.

The director didn't give her the entire script at once; he only gave her one or two episodes at most. Wen Li thought it was very good after reading it, and then she took a look at the original novel. She felt that the novel was very well written and that there shouldn't be too many changes, so she let Zhou Xingyun take over.

Zhou Xingyun immediately went down to make arrangements: "After this film is finished, let's try to make another movie."

Wen Li had no objection to this.

After signing the contract, the director sent the entire script and asked Wen Xingming to join the crew for the opening ceremony a week later.

When Wen Li's fans learned that she had finally joined the film crew, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night in the comments section of Weibo.
