Chapter 271: To Celebrate My Boyfriend's Birthday

"Then we'll see what happens by that time," Yun Xiangxiang wasn't as adamant now.

She loved being an actress not for its glamor, but for its ability to experience different paths of life.

To her, being an actor wasn't just about providing entertainment and relaxation to the public. Using their influence and following to provide something valuable was the core of this job.

"Five Millenia: A History" was a rare kind of show. It wasn't done because it wanted to pump any actor's popularity, nor was it because they wanted profit. Its idea was to awaken the youth to their ancestors' fruits of wisdom.

If this program became a success, more people would understand the long history behind Chinese cultural heritage.

The program team sent her an invitation this early in its production probably because they noticed her influence among the youth from her being "double best actress" in the graduates' film festival.

It was also an acknowledgement toward her personality to give her this kind of duty.

Yun Xiangxiang noticed that the company that planned this and the show's producer were big names in the industry. She knew this show would be successful.

It would also probably be supported by the government. It was a meaningful show after all.

Yun Xiangxiang wanted to take part if possible. It wasn't to gain more fans or fame. She just wanted to learn more and contribute toward the promotion of traditional culture.

She wanted more people to understand, love, and appreciate their country's culture.

Aside from acknowledging her, Yun Xiangxiang knew the program team wanted to give her more time to prepare and allocate some time for the show. That was why they sent the early invitation.

She made a mental note about this. She would look at how they would record the show, and how many episode they would be doing in a year.

She would do it herself if she could. If she couldn't she could only leave this as a regret.

"Brother Wei, I'll be going to South Africa two days later." Yun Xiangxiang took the chance, "I want to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday."

He Wei was speechless.

Sometimes he would prefer it if Yun Xiangxiang wasn't so honest.

But what to do? She was his actress. What could he do except spoil her, "Got it. Be safe."

"I'll come back in one piece," Yun Xiangxiang guaranteed.

Since Song Yao would come to fetch her, she didn't need to buy any tickets.

The day before she left, Yun Xiangxiang went to the hospital in the neighboring city to visit Dai Hua's girlfriend, Lan Yue.

The verdict for the criminal group was passed. The boss was sentenced to death. Most of them were sentenced to life imprisonment. Dai Hua was supposed to be in jail for ten years for his involvement in the crimes, and the sheer amount he had stolen.

But Yun Xiangxiang mentioned that it was Dai Hua's reminder that contributed to the group's capture. His verdict was reduced by five years.

He had the lightest punishment among all of them. He was twenty-four this year. By the time he was released, he wouldn't even be thirty.

She hoped he would turn a new leaf during his time in prison and lead an honest life after he came out.

Lan Yue looked ordinary, but she had a great smile. It was infectious.
