58: Naza: I would like to date him, but I don't have the chance.

Time flew by, and Naza's *xuan-yuan sword: rift of the sky* had been airing on TV for several days.

Today was exactly the ninth episode, and Xiao Xue, played by Naza, officially appeared.

She waited anxiously for feedback from Chen Le. After waiting a long time without hearing anything, she couldn't help but send him a short QQ message: "Brother Le, did you watch *xuan-yuan sword* today? Xiao Xue, the character I play, appeared today."

Chen Le was currently busy dealing with matters related to his new film. Only after seeing Naza's message did he suddenly realize that the drama she starred in seemed to have premiered a few days ago.

However, he hadn't watched the drama, nor did he know that Xiao Xue, played by Naza, had appeared today.

Although he had forgotten to watch it.

But he had seen this drama in his previous life, so he was quite familiar with it.

So he replied: "I watched it. I think you acted very well. The role of Xiao Xue is quite endearing, and I really like it."

After Naza received the reply, she felt a little relieved and asked again: "Brother Le, you are a Great Director, so do you think there's anything else I need to improve on?"

Chen Le thought for a moment and replied seriously: "As a newcomer, you have already performed very well. However, acting skills require continuous refinement. You can learn more from other seniors. I believe your acting will get better and better. Keep it up!"

Naza saw Chen Le's message, and a smile appeared on her face.

She felt sweet inside after receiving Chen Le's encouragement and praise.

Meanwhile, in the bustling Magic City.

Naza was dressed in a gorgeous gown, with delicate makeup, looking like a princess stepping out of a fairy tale.

She was currently attending an event arranged by her company.

She was standing in a corner now, holding her phone, smiling, and tapping the screen with her fingers.

This scene was noticed by her Agent, Sister Zhang.

Sister Zhang walked up and asked curiously, "Naza, who are you chatting with? You look so happy."

Naza looked up at Sister Zhang and said nervously, "Oh, Sister Zhang, I'm chatting with a good friend. He watched *xuan-yuan sword* and sent me some comments."

Sister Zhang frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Naza, is he male or female?"

Naza felt nervous seeing Sister Zhang frown, but she dared not lie, so she could only say, "Male."

"Male? Naza, he's not related to you, is he?" Sister Zhang frowned even deeper upon hearing it was a male friend.

Artists, especially female artists, are wary of relationships. She was worried that Naza might fall into an emotional whirlpool at this critical moment, affecting her career development.

"Naza, you must remember that you are currently in the career ascent phase. You must focus on your work. Don't get distracted by emotional matters." Sister Zhang said earnestly.

Naza felt a sense of helplessness upon hearing this. She knew Sister Zhang meant well, but Chen Le was the only one in her heart.

Although she knew nothing could come of their relationship, whenever she thought of Chen Le, an inexplicable feeling would surge in her heart.

"Don't worry, Sister Zhang. I know my responsibilities and won't let emotions affect my work." Naza said with a smile, but she was silently thinking: "I actually want to date him, but... I don't have the chance anymore."

"That's good. Naza, take steady steps, and your future achievements will certainly be great." Sister Zhang comforted her while painting a rosy picture... Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Baoqiang was sitting quietly in a Beijing Film Academy classroom, attentively listening to Zhang Songwen's acting class.

During this time, he had been working hard to improve his cultural literacy and study professional acting knowledge.

He didn't have many friends in Yanjing; besides the Extras he knew previously, he barely had any acquaintances.

His life now was a simple commute between two points, and although simple, it was very fulfilling.

Every day, besides resting at home, he came to audit classes at the Beijing Film Academy.

Whenever Zhang Songwen held an acting class, he would come to listen, rain or shine.

Today, after listening to Zhang Songwen's class.

Zhang Songwen put down his teaching materials and smilingly invited Wang Baoqiang to eat at the school cafeteria.

"Teacher Songwen, won't it be too extravagant for you to treat me every day?" Wang Baoqiang said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Not only was he auditing Zhang Songwen's classes every day, but he was also eating his food, which made him feel awkward.

"The school cafeteria is so cheap, what's there to be extravagant about? If it's really a problem, you can treat me later." Zhang Songwen said with a smile.

The Beijing Film Academy cafeteria only accepts meal cards, and if Wang Baoqiang didn't have one, he couldn't eat there.

Moreover, teachers get discounts when eating in the cafeteria, and it would be a waste not to use them.

Wang Baoqiang nodded upon hearing this.

Just as they walked into the cafeteria, they ran into Cui Xinqin.

Wang Baoqiang was stunned when he saw Cui Xinqin.

He quickly remembered that this was the teacher he met the last time he came to Beijing Film Academy with Director Chen.

Cui Xinqin also recognized him immediately when she saw Wang Baoqiang.

Since their last meeting, she had maintained a deep impression of Wang Baoqiang.

At the same time, she had watched the movie *lost on journey* and highly praised Wang Baoqiang's acting skills.

"Oh my, isn't this Wang Baoqiang? Long time no see." Cui Xinqin greeted him warmly.

Wang Baoqiang smiled and replied: "Hello, Teacher Cui. Yes, it has been a long time. How have you been recently?"

Wang Baoqiang respected Teacher Cui greatly, as Teacher Cui had trained many big stars.

Zhang Songwen interjected, asking in surprise, "Teacher Cui, you and Baoqiang know each other?"

Cui Xinqin smiled and nodded: "Yes, we met last time when Chen Le brought Baoqiang to the school."

"Then you two are quite fated, huh? I was originally going to introduce Baoqiang to you." Zhang Songwen said with a chuckle.

"I watched *lost on journey*, which you and Baoqiang starred in. I truly didn't expect Baoqiang's acting skills to be so good at such a young age." Cui Xinqin praised him with a smile.

"It's not that simple; Baoqiang has worked very hard."

"Baoqiang's talent is excellent, but he is also very diligent, harder working than any student I've seen. You wouldn't believe it, but Baoqiang audits my classes every day, not even sparing time for rest. When he's not in class, he's studying on his own."

Cui Xinqin was impressed by Wang Baoqiang upon hearing this: "He's that diligent? It's been a long time since I've seen a child so willing to endure hardship and work hard. Baoqiang, with your dedication and effort, I believe you will definitely make a name for yourself in this industry."

Wang Baoqiang smiled humbly: "Thank you for your encouragement, Teacher Cui. I will continue to work hard."

"Teacher Cui, since we ran into each other, let's eat and chat together." Zhang Songwen said with a smile.

"Alright."

The three ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

In the eyes of Cui Xinqin and Zhang Songwen, Wang Baoqiang not only had talent but was also hardworking and diligent.

They believed that as long as Wang Baoqiang persevered, he would definitely shine brightly in the entertainment industry.
