Zhou Ziheng recalled, "I ran away without money, not just to prove my integrity, but also because I was overconfident."
"I just looked up some guides online and confidently wanted to interview with an acting company. I naively thought that with my looks, I would definitely be able to find a company that would provide food and accommodation."
"Reality hit me hard. Every year, big companies have open auditions, and they always have set dates for recruitment. When I ran out, they happened to be finishing the auditions."
"I can't get into a famous big company, so I can only try small companies. But the twists and turns and the messy unspoken rules in those small companies are really unbearable."
Wen Wan's expression suddenly became a little subtle, and she asked anxiously: "You...you weren't taken advantage of, right? "
There are many shady dealings and unspoken rules in the entertainment industry. Large companies are relatively better, but small companies are more common. It is common for senior executives to deceive young girls... and boys who are pursuing their dreams.
In fact, it is no wonder that she is worried. Zhou Ziheng's face is attractive to both men and women, and he looked very young when he was a teenager. It can be said that he is very dangerous!
"No!" Zhou Ziheng replied, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He then flicked her forehead lightly with his finger, "What are you thinking about every day in your little head?"
"Ah! It hurts!" Wen Wan pretended to feel pain even though she didn't feel any. She rubbed her forehead pretentiously and said with a pout, "Aren't I just worried about you?"
Zhou Ziheng knew she was pretending, but he was still willing to be deceived. He reached out and took over her action of rubbing her forehead, saying jokingly, "As long as I run fast enough, the unspoken rules won't be able to catch up with me!"
"I kept hitting walls and getting beaten up by society. I didn't feel defeated at first, but when I started to feel hungry, I truly understood the feeling of regret."
"In fact, I also clearly understood at that time that as long as I went home obediently, I wouldn't have to suffer anymore and could resume my life as a rich young master with good food and drink, and Grandpa wouldn't really be angry with me."
"But I just didn't want to go back in such disgrace. As the saying goes, 'Don't fight for bread, fight for your dignity.' I was determined to fight for my dignity, so I forced myself not to go home."
"You were... so young and impetuous back then." Wen Wan commented on his actions.
Then he said with some emotion, "You can be so rebellious sometimes! If the Qingzhou sisters knew this, they would probably faint from laughter!"
"So... they will never know." Zhou Ziheng responded righteously.
The way he looked foolishly doing stupid things at that time was really embarrassing. If it was revealed to others, he would probably be laughed at for the rest of his life, so he kept it secret all the time.
But when he talked about it with Wen Wan today, he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he found it quite interesting. Maybe... this is the power of love!
"Oh?" Wen Wan raised her eyebrows slightly, a meaningful smile on her lips, and teased, "Aren't you afraid that I'll tell others?"
"You won't." Zhou Ziheng answered very straightforwardly, as if he hadn't thought about it at all.
Wen Wan couldn't help laughing, but she quickly stopped laughing the next second and continued to tease him, "Well...why can't I do that?"
"Because... this is our little secret." Zhou Ziheng leaned over and put his lips close to her ear, saying with a smile.
His voice was light, yet sexy and seductive, as if it had magic.
Wen Wan was indeed really attracted by it. She curled her lips into a smile, her beautiful eyes instantly curved into a crescent, and she responded softly, "Okay!"
"Since we love each other so much, I'll begrudgingly help my brother keep this little secret! It's better for me to be the only one laughing at these embarrassing things!"
Zhou Ziheng's lips curled up slightly, and he reached out and lovingly scratched the tip of her nose. Then he continued, "In fact, which is more important, bread or dreams? There has always been a lot of controversy."
"Some people believe that only by having bread can they have a chance to realize their dreams, while others think that if bread is not their favorite taste, they would rather starve to find what they like."
"Actually, I think that no matter which one you choose, it's not wrong. Everyone has different thoughts and naturally makes different choices. It's right to follow your own ideas. What do you think?"
"I say?" Wen Wan tilted her head slightly in thought, and after a moment she replied, "I say no matter which one you choose, there's no need to laugh at those who choose the other option."
"Whichever you choose, a job with good pay that you're content with, or a job full of unknown challenges, you should do it well instead of constantly focusing on other people's choices and trying to prove that you're right."
"No matter who you are, you shouldn't expect others to share your thoughts, because people are independent individuals, and there's really no such thing as true empathy in the world. Seeking common ground while reserving differences is the right thing to do."
Zhou Ziheng nodded in agreement and silently gave her a thumbs up.
Wen Wan smiled back at him and continued, "Life is inherently full of uncertainties. Does choosing bread guarantee a good life? Not necessarily. Choosing dreams doesn't guarantee a good life either. Everything has two sides. How can anything be so absolute?"
“No matter what choice you make, if your life doesn’t go well later on, you will regret it. But the opposite is true for truly successful people.”
"So he doesn't regret not choosing a different path. It's just that the current path hasn't led to his success, so he regrets his choice and feels regretful. But even if he had chosen another path, the result might not have been what he wanted."
“There is no medicine for regret in the world. Cherish what is in front of you is an eternal truth. Now that you have made your choice and have embarked on the chosen path, no matter how difficult it is, you must walk on it seriously.”
"Of course, if you still have the chance to turn back and you have the courage to start over, then it's not a bad idea to make a new choice. People who have the courage to realize their dreams are always worthy of admiration."
Zhou Ziheng stared at her silently for a long time before he suddenly burst into laughter and sighed, "I really love you to death! I love your clear mind, and your worldly wisdom without being worldly!"
"What are you doing? Could you please tell me before you confess?" Wen Wan blushed in embarrassment after hearing his sudden confession, and angrily hit his chest lightly twice.
Zhou Ziheng was willing to be beaten. He did not respond, but just kept looking at Wen Wan and smiling, and couldn't help but sigh silently in his heart.
It’s really a treasure!!!
