According to Sohu, in the Chinese entertainment industry, there is a case that "goes against the norm", which is that the rate of employees leaving Bach Loc's team is only 1/5 of the industry average.
While many stars frequently change crews after becoming famous - almost becoming an "unwritten rule" of showbiz - this 31-year-old female star spends 10 years turning her relationship with assistant Hehe from "boss - employee" to "father chosen by herself".
In January 2026, Li Auto confirmed the information that Bach Loc gave a car to his female assistant. The car worth about 200,000 - 300,000 CNY is not a year-end bonus from the boss to employees, but like a 10-year anniversary gift from two close friends.
For nearly a decade, Bach Loc has not replaced her assistant, not because of "too much property binding" as rumored online, but because she believes in the sincere feelings between the two.
Bach Loc used a personal account with the real name "Bach Mong Nghien" to order a car. When arriving to receive the car, the staff did not recognize the other end of the line as a famous star.
This almost secretive approach is exactly like the friendship between her and Hehe - no media tricks, only true companionship.
In 2018, when Bai Lu was not yet famous, Hehe gave up her job as a kindergarten teacher in Nanjing with a salary of about 3,000 CNY/month, just because of Bai Lu's saying: "You come live with me, I will take care of you".
Since then, Hehe's stable life has become an uncertain future in the damp basement in Hengdian. The two people huddled in a 10 m2 rented room, the walls were so damp that water was squeezed out, and at night they could hear rats running; eating instant noodles at that time was also a daily occurrence for them.
Hehe works as an assistant, photographer, video editor, living manager, and is likened by fans to "one person equals a studio". To ensure Bach Loc has healthy meals, she practices cooking until early morning, never complaining even when her hand is cut.
After becoming famous, Bach Loc also rewarded his best friend. Discovering that the company booked economy class tickets for Hehe, the actress immediately spent her own money to upgrade to first class.
The two sometimes have arguments, but Bach Loc always proactively sends "lucky money" to make peace. The actress also opened an unlimited payment account for Hehe to use, she also remembers many of the female assistant's hobbies.
In 2025, celebrating 10 years of dating, Bach Loc posted an old photo on Weibo: two girls sitting in front of the basement eating instant noodles, the corners of their mouths stained with soy sauce but their eyes bright as stars. The caption "Not wasted the hard years" quickly climbed to the top of trends.
According to Sohu, in the entertainment industry there is also an "underground rule", many stars replace assistants because they are afraid they know too much. Assistants have seen the worst times when artists know too many secrets and weaknesses; if the relationship cracks, it can become a risk. But Bach Loc still accepts it.
It's not that Bach Loc has never met more "professional" assistants. A management company once introduced her to someone who knew 8 languages and could help her negotiate a contract at a higher price. However, she all shook her head and refused.
On the occasion of 10 years of knowing each other, Hehe also posted a long post: "Many times I feel like having a friend like you is like winning the lottery. I can't imagine what my life would be like without you.
Bach Loc replied under the comments: "Psychologists say that if friendship lasts longer than 7 years, it can last a lifetime.
