Chapter 18: The Flood

Miss Xiangjiang's popularity has not gone down, and Li Xiaolong's "Raptors Across the River" has begun to be released.

On May 1, all theaters of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line began to co-screen "Raptors Across the River", because the publicity was in place, and Li Xiaolong was in full swing at this time, so in just half a month, the local box office in Hong Kong exceeded 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Entering June, the box office stamina began to be insufficient, but by the middle of the year it was close to 8.5 million, and it was a little difficult to break through 9 million when the next painting was made, but in any case, "Raptors Across the River" has set a new record at the box office in Hong Kong.

On 16 June, heavy rain began to fall in Xiangjiang. For Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao, the rainy day made them a little unhappy, and the three daughters had decided to go out shopping for the past two days, but now they are all in no mood. Li Ping'an doesn't care, because he is practicing Taoist exercises, and he has been wandering for a hundred years in his previous life, so he is quite a little unhappy and sad.

I thought that such a heavy rain should stop in the next day, but who knew that this heavy rain fell for three days in a row. It wasn't until 18 June, when Li Ping'an was watching TV with his three daughters, that he saw a report of a landslide in Jiliao, Kowloon, and tons of landslides quickly covered the Xiumaoping resettlement area under the hillside, submerging more than 70 wooden houses in the area and burying 71 people alive.

Li Ping'an picked up the phone next to him and dialed the number of his mother Fang Menghua's office, "Mom, you can go to Dad's tonight, or stay in the office, in short, don't take Xu Gong Road, the rain is too heavy, and there are already places affected by the disaster, you organize the employees of Zhuque Terrace and Xiangjiang Daily to launch a fundraising activity, so that the Zhuque Terrace Literature and Art Department will immediately start planning a charity party and strive to broadcast it the day after tomorrow." ”

Fang Menghua began to prepare after receiving a call from his son, as for her son said that he would not let him go to Xu Gong Road, she also kept it in mind, Fang Menghua temporarily lived in the TV station because of overtime that night, and when he heard the outside reporter in the station report that there was a road collapse on Xu Gong Road, he was afraid. Because of the heavy precipitation, at about 8 p.m., a landslide also occurred on Po Shan Road in the mid-levels, and the road was heavily weathered on the igneous rock slope and slid under the continuous heavy rain, first washing away a two-storey bungalow on Po Shan Road, and collapsing a six-storey building on Conduit Road, and the flood and landslide mixed with the rubble of the building, forming a mudslide, rushing to the 12-storey Yu Sai Building at No. 20 Kwai Long Road. The building immediately snapped and collapsed, affecting the King's Garden at the foot of the hillside, and the top four floors of the building were destroyed. In the building, most of the occupants failed to escape in time and were buried under the rubble.

Li Ping'an's villa is near the top of the mountain in the western half of the mountainous area, and it has not been affected, but Fang Menghua, who still loves his son, is frightened, and decides to wait for the flood to find a safe house for his son.

Because of this flood, the three girls were a little distraught, looking at the collapsed road under the mountain in the distance, and felt the ruthless side of nature for the first time. In order to ease the mood of the three daughters, Li Ping'an proposed to let the three daughters participate in the fundraising party organized by Zhuque Channel, "I just wrote a song, and I have already recorded a sample, and the three of you will go to the TV station and hand it over to my mother later, this song will be sung by you and Miss Teresa Teng." ”

"Really, can we perform with Miss Deng?" As Teresa Teng's little fan sister, Lin Qingxia was naturally very happy when she heard that she could be on the same stage with her idol. Teresa Teng is now only more famous in the Nanyang generation, and has not yet become a well-known Asian music diva, but Polygram has already poached her from Haishan Records at the request of Li Ping'an.

At 8 p.m. on June 20, a charity fundraising party entitled "Tomorrow Will Be Better" jointly organized by Suzaku Channel and Radio Station kicked off at the Taiping Theater.

When the three girls arrived backstage, they saw Deng Lijun putting on makeup, Li Xiaolong accompanied her son to play on the side, and the three girls had already practiced the songs written by Li Ping'an with Deng Lijun during the day. Li Xiaolong saw the three girls smile and said hello, the three girls waved at Li Xiaolong and sat next to Deng Lijun.

"Andy's song is so well written, he didn't agree to write a song for me after begging him for so long, but I didn't expect to give me three songs at once this time, it's really unexpected. Teresa Teng waited for the start of the party while complaining to the three girls.

Although Li Ping'an asked Polygold to sign Deng Lijun before, he did not contact her, because both Deng Lijun herself and her family represent trouble, and Li Ping'an is a person who is very afraid of trouble.

"Our young master has been busy writing books all day, and the manager of the distribution department of his own album Polygram has urged him many times, but he still hasn't finished it. Lin Fengjiao was very protective of his young master and explained to Teresa Teng.

The four girls were chatting in a low voice here, and not far away, a young man with a big nose in a white practice uniform looked at the four girls, while swallowing saliva from time to time. A fat young man next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and waved his hand and slapped the back of the head of the big-nosed young man, "Yuanlou, don't look around, hurry up and prepare, the opening is us." "This big-nosed young man is the sexual dragon who will become popular in the future, and the fat young man is his senior brother Hong Jinbao.

Fang Shilong reluctantly turned around, "Senior brother, what did you say the three beautiful girls who followed Miss Deng Lijun did?"

Hong Jinbao angrily began to warn himself this lustful junior brother, "You kid keep me away from them, those three beautiful girls are Mr. Li Ping'an's personal secretaries, don't play with fire, no one can save you if something happens." ”

Fang Shilong shrank his head in fright, "It turns out that they are Young Master Li's women, Young Master Li's life is really good." ”

Fang Shilong was envious and jealous, Hong Jinbao kicked him, "Don't complain, let's go on stage!"

Although the preparation was relatively hasty, but because of the two TV stations co-organized, plus Li Ping'an gave a lot of advice before, so this fundraising party was relatively successful, in addition to the acrobatics performed by the Seven Xiaofu brothers, Li Xiaolong's kung fu, and more than 40 other film and television stars participated in the performance, Deng Lijun alone performed three soloists, it was Li Ping'an who gave her the three singles "The Moon Represents My Heart", "I Only Care About You" and "Sweet Honey".

When the host of the newspaper curtain said "Miss Teresa Teng, Miss Zhao Yazhi, Miss Lin Qingxia and Miss Lin Fengjiao brought us "Tomorrow Will Be Better", the four women all wore white dresses and walked on the stage. The music sounded, and the four girls began to sing beautifully.
