Chapter 68: The arrogant tycoon

"Ziming, I didn't expect you to be really punctual, worthy of being a good buddy. Seeing Xu Ziming rushing over, Zhou Yanfa held Xu Ziming tightly with one hand, and patted Xu Ziming's shoulder with the other.

Zhou Yanfa rented a private room in this hotel, and there were many vacant seats.

However, he was also stunned by the two strange men who followed Xu Ziming, "They are?"

Xu Ziming explained: "The taller one is called Weiguo, and the shorter one is called Guozhong, and the two of them are counted as my drivers and bodyguards. ”

Zhou Yanfa was relieved, "I said why haven't I seen it, the feelings are the bodyguards invited by Ziming, but looking at their appearance is really capable." ”

Xu Ziming just chuckled slightly, glanced around, and found that only Zhou Yanfa, Wu Mengda, and then Wan Ziliang were present. Chen Yulian was not there, he was a little depressed and curious.

He motioned for the two people behind him to sit down, and joked to Zhou Yan: "Am I here too early, it won't be just us." Xu Ziming was a little hesitant whether Xu Ke would not come, because.

Zhou Yan said: "It's early, and their group may come later." ”

After Zhou Yanfa finished speaking, Wu Mengda hurriedly stepped forward to take care of him, "Mr. Xu, I'm Wu Mengda, you still have an impression of me." He stared at Xu Ziming with a begging look, looking forward to it, after all, when he saw Xu Ziming, he had to firmly seize this opportunity.

"Oh, I remember", Xu Ziming was attracted by Wu Mengda, who suddenly interjected, and wanted to laugh when he saw his strange expression, "Ada, what kind of scene do you want to film?" Xu Ziming is casual, and it is not the first time he has met Wu Mengda, so he directly changed his name to Ada, which is also cordial.

Ada? Wu Mengda felt his heart jump a little inexplicably, is this a heart-warming feeling?

It's really like eating candy in my mouth, and I feel that Xu Ziming's attitude towards himself is very different.

"Yes, Mr. Xu, I want to film, you know that I have completely changed my past, if you don't believe me, you can ask Fa Tsai. "He is also taking out Zhou Runfa as a shield.

Xu Ziming found a position close to Wan Ziliang and sat down, and after nodding to Wan Ziliang, he crossed his fingertips and said to Wu Mengda: "Xinyicheng, we are going to start filming "Chasing Girls" recently, there are some roles in it, I can arrange for you to play them." Xu Ziming learned about the situation from Huang Baiming, the roles in the drama "Chasing Girls" are already being selected, and there are still vacancies in some supporting roles.

Wu Mengda followed closely behind Xu Ziming and asked with a smile: "Mr. Xu, who is the actor of this movie?" Wu Mengda is a person who will firmly grasp the opportunity, maybe Xu Ziming will agree as soon as his heart softens.

"The male protagonist has already been chosen, and I'm also wondering whether I should play the male protagonist of "Chasing Girls"?" Xu Ziming blurted out casually, but Zhou Yunfa and others were very surprised.

He is also very hesitant whether this male protagonist should be the protagonist, Huang Baiming has already asked people to show his script to himself, this male protagonist called Luo Baidu is too attentive, and he may not be able to practice.

"Ah Ming should be given to me if he is not appropriate, such a good male protagonist has a beautiful fortune, and he should not be white. This sentence is not shocking and endless, it is definitely not from everyone present, and only Wang Jin dares to joke with Xu Ziming like this.

Wang Jin wore a big autumn coat and a cigarette in his mouth, and came into the room, this style is very similar to Gao Jin in "God of Gamblers". He laughed, "Look at who else is behind?"

Xu Ziming was not surprised by Wang Jin's arrival, when he and Zhou Yanfa were born, Wang Jin was hugging each other on the set, and they naturally had a tacit understanding with each other. However, to Xu Ziming's surprise, Wang Jin actually brought a Zheng Yuling he had seen but had never had a one-face friend.

Later generations have such words, "Zheng Yuling works hard and is principled, in addition to hosting and acting, she also tries to challenge stage plays, dubbing, etc., and is a well-known 'big sister' in the Chinese entertainment industry."

Zheng Yuling hosted the first program "This Generation" during the artist training class of Hong Kong Jiayi TV Station, and made her debut.

In 1978, she joined TVB as a host, and successively starred in more than a dozen dramas such as "Rainbow", "Jingtu", and "Police Flower Shift".

In 1979, he co-starred with Chow Yun-fat in the TV series "People in the Net", which was a great success, and it was this TV series that made Chow Yun-fat and Zheng Yuling meet each other and become a pair of good friends in the entertainment industry, and then cooperated with the two in many TV series.

But in the final analysis, Zheng Yuling is thriving in TV dramas, but she has never participated in any movie shooting.

It was not only Xu Ziming who was surprised that Zheng Yuling arrived, but Zhou Yanfa, the host who invited the wine, was also very surprised, and felt a little annoyed that his good friends actually forgot to invite her over.

Zheng Yuling leaned over and smiled lightly at Zhou Yanfa, "Ah Fa, why don't you know how to invite me?" The beautiful woman's smile was mixed with a little dissatisfaction.

Zhou Yanfa scratched his head, and while hurriedly stepping forward to entertain Zheng Yuling, he smirked: "I thought Ah Ling had a schedule recently, so I didn't want to disturb you." He couldn't think of a reason for it, so he could only reluctantly lie.

Zheng Yuling is not a person who likes to ask questions to the end, so he quickly let go of Zhou Runfa's questioning, followed Zhou Yanfa's guidance, and sat on the vacant seat on Xu Ziming's left.

Wu Mengda, who was surrounding Xu Ziming at this time, also greeted her.

She is very familiar with it, that Wu Mengda played the role of "Hu Tiehua" at the beginning, and said that she debuted earlier than herself.

Zheng Yuling's strange gaze began to scan Wu Mengda, even with Xu Ziming, a somewhat familiar person.

Wang Jin simply sat directly on Xu Ziming's right side, Zhou Yanfa saw that Xu Ziming's two sides were full, and said dissatisfiedly: "Ah Jin, it's not kind for you to do this, today's drinking party is for me to celebrate Ziming, you go to another position." ”

Saying that, he began to drive away, Wang Jin was a little helpless, but this was really a bit inauthentic, holding the cigarette that had been extinguished and running to another position, and sitting directly on the right side of Wan Ziliang with a hot buttocks.

Zhou Yanfa enthusiastically said to Xu Ziming: "Ziming, this is Zheng Yuling, you can just call her Ah Ling." ”

Xu Ziming said: "Brother Fa, I know her name is Zheng Yuling. ”

Zhou Yanfa had a puzzled expression, and he said to Zheng Yuling again, "Ah Ling knows him?"

Zheng Yuling shook his head, Zhou Yunfa was a little suspicious, but he still explained, "He is Xu Ziming, do you have any impression?"

"Xu Ziming, is that 20 million screenwriter?" Zheng Yuling was still very confused just now, and was suddenly awakened by these words.

When she said this sentence abruptly, Xu Ziming had already stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, "Miss Zheng, hello, I'm Xu Ziming." ”

"Hello Mr. Xu. Zheng Yuling hurriedly agreed, with some embarrassment on her face.

Zhou Yunfa was about to find a chance to withdraw so that these two friends could chat, and at a glance, he saw a few more acquaintances walking in, Zhong Chuhong, Huan Xue, and Miao Qianren, but it was very embarrassing that there was an extra man by Miao Qianren's side.

A group of them was called by Zhou Yanfa, but who was the one next to Miao Qianren, he really didn't know, when filming "The Story of Hu Yue", he also heard that there was a rich kid who was pursuing Miao Qianren, and the person in front of him looked a little old, and he was obviously older than Zhou Yunfa himself in terms of grade, could he be the one.

But Zhou Yanfa inevitably complained in his heart, this drinking party was specially held for Xu Ziming, although Miao Qianren broke up with Xu Ziming, but now he is delayed, this is not to make Xu Ziming a little embarrassed.

Everyone present not only thought like Zhou Yanfa, but Wan Ziliang, Wu Mengda, and Wang Jin were also in a very puzzled state. Xu Ziming's heart did have a sour feeling, but he covered it up very well, and he was not seen by the people around him.

"Sister Qian, Sister Hong, and Ah Xue, you are all here. Xu Ziming asked politely, Zhong Chuhong smiled and said, "Ziming, you are very powerful, 20 million screenwriters." He boasted to Xu Ziming with a thumbs up.

Huan Xue tugged on Zhong Chuhong's clothes and persuaded in a low voice: "Ah Hong, don't you see the strange eyes of the people around you?" ”

Zhong Chuhong pulled Huan Xue to find a vacant seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "They are looking at Qianren." "Huan Xue only knew that she had made an oolong.

Zhou Yanfa walked to Miao Qianren's side and asked, "Qianren, who is this gentleman?" Zhou Yanfa felt that it was still necessary to figure these things out.

Before Miao Qianren could speak, Lin Jianming arrived first: "I am a friend of A Qian, my name is Lin Jianming." As he spoke, he smiled and asked: "You are Ah Fa, your performance of "The Story of Hu Yue" is quite good, I will take Ah Qian to see it myself another day." ”

"Oh, thank you" Zhou Yunfa was also at a loss, of course, it was still polite thank you, he hadn't heard the name Lin Jianming, but it was a little familiar. He quickly moved his eyes to Xu Ziming who was not far away, and when he saw that Xu Ziming had no abnormal behavior, the worry in his heart was much more relieved.

But what happened next was beyond Zhou Yanfa's imagination. Lin Jianming walked to Xu Ziming's location unhurriedly, and along the way, Wu Mengda and others, and even Xu Ziming's two bodyguards became vigilant, and they were a little dissatisfied with this man who looked a little arrogant.

"Mr. Xu, I didn't think you were here, it's really a coincidence, why didn't Mr. Xu bring a girlfriend?" Lin Jianming's words were full of sarcastic asking, he knew very well what the relationship between Xu Ziming and Miao Qianren was, at this time he suddenly had some bad thoughts, his father liked to compare him with Xu Ziming the most, and he was also cheated by Xu Ziming before, so he really wanted to see Xu Ziming eat deflated.

He has seen too many winds and waves, and Xu Ziming's temper doesn't want to be so irritable, he raised his head slightly, looked at this person he didn't know at all, and sneered: "May I ask who Mr. is?"

"My name is Lin Jianming, Mr. Xu might as well call me Lin Shao"

Xu Ziming has no impression, the only impression that the person in front of him gives him is arrogance and pride. "I don't know Mr. Lin very well. ”

Lin Jianming also sneered, "It doesn't matter if Mr. Xu doesn't know me, but Lai Sun Group must be no stranger." ”

When it comes to Lai Sun Group, it is necessary to mention its founder, Lam Pak Hing, who has been involved in Hong Kong's real estate industry since the late 60s. At that time, Hong Kong's economy was starting to take off, the manufacturing industry was booming, and the demand for industrial buildings was strong, while most real estate developers were focusing on the development of commercial and residential buildings. Lin Baixing decisively seized this opportunity and vigorously developed industrial buildings. In 1972, Lai Sun Garment Company was listed during the Hong Kong stock market boom. The listing of Lai Sun not only transformed the company from a family company into a public company, but also raised a large amount of capital through the issuance of public shares, which accelerated its investment in the real estate industry.

Throughout the 70s, Lai Sun Group built a large number of industrial buildings. Most of them are rented out, except for a small part for personal use.

By the early 80s, Lai Sun Group had leased out more than 100,000 square meters of industrial buildings, with an annual rental income of more than HK$70 million.

Lin Jianming is Lin Baixing's eldest son, and although the strength of the Lai Sun Group is inferior to the Xu family, this is enough to make him proud.

When he was about to speak again, he found that his clothes had been pulled by Miao Qianren.

"Mr. Lin, today is a cocktail party specially held by Ah Fa for Ziming, can you stop stirring up the situation. Miao Qianren hasn't agreed to let this Lin Jianming be her boyfriend, and today she just agreed to him out of face, she didn't want to see Xu Ziming's embarrassed appearance.
