After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Hu Cheng was eating instant noodles when he saw Li Huaiying pushing the door open. He stopped abruptly and a hint of surprise flashed across his face. He thought Li Huaiying would not come back tonight.

However, Hu Cheng's expression soon returned to normal, and he smiled and greeted, "You're back. Have you had dinner? I just made a bowl of noodles. Would you like to have some together?"

Li Huaiying had eaten quite a lot in the evening, but still sat down and reached out to take the disposable chopsticks and plastic bowl handed to her by Hu Cheng.

The two of them ate the steaming noodles in a casual manner. After half a bowl of noodles, Hu Cheng asked, "Are you back here to move the luggage?"

Hearing this, Li Huaiying put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and said, "Well, the crew arranged a room for me in the hotel."

Hu Cheng looked at Li Huaiying without any trace of jealousy in his eyes. After all, he was already in his forties, and those competitive, jealous years were long gone.

Although he wasn't jealous, he was still somewhat envious in his heart. He couldn't help but ask, "What role are you playing in the play this time?"

Li Huaiying raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a bit of joy and anticipation, and said: "It's the role that Xue Bin played before."

Hu Cheng understood immediately after hearing this. Xue Bin must have done something excessive and was kicked out by the crew.

He raised his hand and patted Li Huaiying's shoulder vigorously, his face full of sincere smiles, his tone full of encouragement: "You are so lucky, kid, now you have truly entered the entertainment industry! You must work hard in the future, I am rooting for you!"

Hu Cheng knew that there must be some reason behind Li Huaiying getting the role of Xue Bin, but he didn't ask who had the connection.

He just suddenly remembered that Li Huaiying had mentioned to him some time ago that the general manager Li who came to inspect the crew looked like his cousin. Now it seems that she is his cousin, and once this relationship is established, the opportunity will come.

While packing his luggage, Li Huaiying turned to look at Hu Cheng, his expression sincere and expectant: "Brother Hu, Director Wu told me today that the company will come to me to sign the contract in the next two days.

In addition to business staff, positions like assistants and drivers can be hired if I have people I trust and can recommend, and the salary and benefits are quite good.

Would you like to consider coming over? I feel at ease having you by my side to help me."

Having said that, Li Huaiying really wanted to help Hu Cheng. To be fair, the job of an extra is really hard.

In the winter, the wind is so cold that people's hands and feet are numb, but if you want to shoot a summer scene, you have to wear light clothes if the director says to wear light clothes. In the summer, the heat makes people dizzy, so if you want to shoot a winter scene, you have to wear cotton clothes.

But even so, extras can't make much money. Moreover, if you want to make a name for yourself in this industry, the chances are harder than climbing to the sky.

For someone like Li Huaiying who suddenly got a good opportunity, it was because he had Li Jiawei behind him who gave him the opportunity.

Hu Cheng raised his head and looked at Li Huaiying gratefully. He really didn't expect that Li Huaiying would still think of him at this time.

He thought for a moment and did not refuse immediately. He just said slowly: "I'll think about it and give you a definite answer in two days."

"Okay, Brother Hu, I'll wait for your call." Li Huaiying said, standing up neatly, and then said, "Brother Hu, the driver is still waiting downstairs, I have to leave now."

Hu Cheng sighed softly and said, "If there is anything else, I will help you pack it up."

Li Huaiying smiled and pointed at the closed suitcase: "Brother Hu, you don't know how much stuff I have. Just a few sets of clothes can't fill up a suitcase."

Five minutes later, Li Huaiying came downstairs carrying a small suitcase. Hu Cheng followed him out, and when they got downstairs, Hu Cheng helped him put the luggage into the trunk of the car.

Li Huaiying got into the car, and Hu Cheng reminded her: "It's dark and the roads are slippery, drive slowly on the road, and be careful when going up the mountain!"

Li Huaiying hummed, then said, "Brother Hu, you should go back quickly. It's quite cold outside."

Hu Cheng said: "It's okay, I'll watch you go!"

Li Huaiying knew Hu Cheng’s stubborn temper, so he didn’t say anything more. He just said, “Brother Hu, please think carefully about what I said.”

Then he asked the driver to start the car, and the car gradually disappeared into the dark night.

Only when the taillights of the vehicle disappeared from view did Hu Cheng subconsciously pull his thin cotton coat closer and turn to walk towards the yard.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw a few people standing there, and he smiled and joked: "It's so cold today, why are you all standing in the yard? Aren't you freezing?"

Someone came over curiously and asked, "Brother Hu, it's so late, where is Li Huaiying going?"

Hu Cheng looked up at the person who asked the question. They were all minor actors in the "Jian Ge" crew. Anyway, everyone would know about this matter as soon as the filming started tomorrow, so there was nothing to hide. He said bluntly: "This kid is lucky. Director Wu chose him and he became the fifth male lead. The crew arranged a room for him in the hotel on the mountain. He just came back to pick up his luggage."

After saying this, Hu Cheng ignored the surprised or envious looks of others and turned around and ran upstairs. It was a cold day, and the cold wind would make people's bones ache if they stayed outside for a while. He didn't have the interest to stand outside and chat with them.

With a bang, the door closed, completely isolating the room from the outside world's inquiring gazes.

Hu Cheng sat down on the edge of the bed and looked around the slightly empty room. When two people lived there in the past, he always felt that the space was cramped and there was no place to put things. But now that he was the only one left, he inexplicably felt that the room was spacious but a little deserted.

His thoughts unconsciously turned to what Li Huaiying had just said. He thought that being an assistant or driver for this boy would be a good way out.

My children have grown up, and the expenses will only get bigger and bigger in the future. I really can no longer do whatever I want like before. It's time to find a more stable job with higher income.

Moreover, Hu Cheng knew that Mr. Li was behind Li Huaiying. Following Li Huaiying, apart from other things, just this relationship alone meant that his future prospects would not be bad.

If I could become someone close to Li Huaiying, on the one hand, I would have a stable income and improve the family's financial situation; on the other hand, if Li Huaiying became successful in the entertainment industry in the future and his status continued to rise, then as someone close to him, my income would naturally increase as well.

Thinking of this, Hu Cheng was excited and subconsciously picked up his phone to call his wife at home to discuss it.

But when his eyes swept to the time displayed on the mobile phone screen, his movements stopped.
