The car drove quickly to Xiahai City Airport.

After Xu Taiping dealt with Lin Xiaoqing's matter, there was only less than an hour left before the flight he bought to Hong Kong City.

"Brother Xu, since the last time you said that you wanted to check the black materials of Li Jiangshan's Li Baolu family, I arranged for someone to investigate, and I checked Li Baolu's family history. Zhou Xiaoyu sat next to Xu Taiping and said.

"Did you find anything?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Hmm!" Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, "When Li Baolu was in his twenties, he once partnered with someone to engage in long-distance transportation, and I heard that he also did a smuggling business, and later he was arrested, and the one who partnered with him was sentenced to a few years in prison, but Li Baolu picked himself cleanly, and, after that, Li Baolu seemed to have made a fortune, and began to invest a large amount of money, relying on his tricky vision, almost all his investments made money, and after that, Li Baolu flourished all the way, and finally had today's family property. ”

"Oh, he's still in the smuggling business?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.

"Well, we visited the drivers who drove Li Baolu before, and it took a little bit to drive on their behalf, and we asked these questions from their mouths. Zhou Xiaoyu said.

"Since he had engaged in smuggling and his partner was arrested, why wasn't he arrested?" asked Xu Taiping.

"I don't know, we tried to find his partner back then, and guess what? After his release from prison more than 20 years ago, his partner disappeared from prison and disappeared completely, and there was no trace of it, and what was even more amazing was that the partner's family didn't even go to the person, and the person was as if he didn't exist. Zhou Xiaoyu said.

"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and said, "Where do you say that person will go?"

"I don't know. Zhou Xiaoyu shook his head and said.

"The partner's family may know something. Xu Taiping frowned and said, "Pry their mouths open." ”

"Okay!" Zhou Xiaoyu nodded.

"By the way, do you know the name of that partner?" asked Xu Taiping.

"It's called Sun Dongfu. Zhou Xiaoyu said.

"Oh. Xu Taiping nodded and said, "The matter of investigating Li Baolu's black materials must continue, but the most important thing for us to do next is to cross the river." ”

"Understood!" Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, "At present, everything is going according to plan. ”

"Hmm!"

The car went all the way to the airport, and it didn't take long to arrive at the airport.

"Brother Xu, you have a good trip. Zhou Xiaoyu stood beside the car, bowed to Xu Taiping and shouted.

Xu Taiping smiled, pulled his suitcase and walked into the airport, and then quickly passed through the security check and arrived at the boarding gate.

Half an hour later, the plane to Minato took off from Xiahai City.

Xiahai City is actually very close to Hong Kong City, and it will take less than two hours to take a plane, so Xu Taiping has already arrived at the airport in Hong Kong City before it gets dark.

Because the geographical location of Minato City is much closer to the south than Xiahai City, Minato City in early September is very hot.

Xu Taiping stepped out of the plane, and a heat wave swept in.

Even though it was already evening, it was still unbearably hot.

Xu Taiping doesn't like heat, because if it's hot, even if you take off your clothes, it's hot, and if it's cold, wear more clothes to warm up.

Xu Taiping walked out of the port airport with his suitcase, and as the sun set, the fiery red sunlight shone from the position directly in front of him, shining on his face, making his whole face burn.

"Mr. Xu!"

"Mr. Xu!"

Two voices came from Xu Taiping's side.

Xu Taiping followed the prestige, and saw Zhao Xiaohua and the director of the movie he shot were standing not far from him, and a Mercedes-Benz RV was parked behind them.

Xu Taiping walked over with a smile.

"Mr. Xu!" The director saw Xu Taiping coming over, and hurriedly walked a few steps towards Xu Taiping, came to Xu Taiping's face, and held Xu Taiping's hand with a smile.

"Director, you came to pick me up, I'm really flattered!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"This is as it should be, as it should be!" the director said with a smile, "You come to Hong Kong City, I have to come to pick you up!"

"Is the shooting going well?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Well, it's okay. The director said.

Xu Taiping could obviously feel that the director's face stiffened slightly when he said that it was okay.

"Okay? It should be finished in the next few days, right?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Well, but it should probably be postponed for a few more days, but it doesn't matter, it's all some trivial things, Mr. Xu, we have already opened a hotel for you, let's go over?" asked the director.

"Let's go!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then walked to the RV.

Zhao Xiaohua hurriedly opened the door of the RV.

"Xiaohua, I haven't seen you for a while, I've grown!" Xu Taiping smiled and sat in the car.

"That's not it, the director, and the seniors in the crew taught me a lot of things!" Zhao Xiaohua said with a smile, and then, after the director got into the car, Zhao Xiaohua followed and got into the car.

The group took an RV to the center of Minato City.

"Mr. Xu, I heard that you came here to play this time?" the director asked.

"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded, he was actually here to participate in tomorrow's alliance, but he definitely couldn't say anything about it.

"Hong Kong is still very playful, among which I think food is the coolest, there are a lot of delicious things here, and then this side to the Australian market is also near, you can go to the Australian market to gamble two, the casino in the Australian market is still very good, a casino has everything, you don't have to come out after entering. The director laughed.

"I'm more interested in eating, I still have some friends in Hong Kong, and they can take me to eat the most authentic Hong Kong food. Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, do you have any arrangements for tomorrow?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"There's something going on tomorrow morning, and it'll be fine later, what's the matter? Do you want to ask me out?" asked Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Then I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow at noon. Zhao Xiaohua said.

"Do you invite me, invite me alone?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Otherwise, do you want to bring a few more people? Tonight, our crew will hold a banquet to entertain you at the hotel where you are staying, and you can eat and drink with everyone in the evening, as for tomorrow, I will definitely have to invite you alone!" Zhao Xiaohua said.

"Didn't you shoot tomorrow?" asked Xu Taiping.

"Hmm. Zhao Xiaohua nodded, glanced at the director, and then said, "In the past two days, there shouldn't be any need to shoot, right?"

"Hmm. The director nodded and said, "If you don't start work in the next two days, you will accompany Mr. Xu to have a good time, take a walk around the Hong Kong market, eat some authentic food, and buy some good things in the Hong Kong market." ”

"I'm still thinking that you must be very busy these days, it seems that I am wrong, then if I have free time at noon tomorrow, I will call you again!" Xu Taiping said.

"Well, I'll wait for you!" Zhao Xiaohua nodded.

Half an hour later, the RV came to the downstairs of the Victoria Hotel in Port City.

Almost all the crew members who have been notified in advance have come to the door of the hotel, including the male and female protagonists, supporting actors, and assistant directors and screenwriters.

Everyone gathered here for the purpose of one friend of nature, that is, to welcome Xu Taiping's arrival.

For the crew, Xu Taiping is definitely a heavenly figure, he is not only a wholly-owned investor in this movie, but also a good friend with the producer, such a character, for everyone in the crew, unceremoniously, that is completely in control of life and death!

Xu Taiping got out of the car with the director, and the crew gathered around, shouting one by one, which made Xu Taiping's vanity unprecedentedly satisfied.

After a brief greeting at the door, Xu Taiping followed everyone into the hotel, and then came to the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel.

In order to welcome Xu Taiping, the crew was also fully prepared, almost all the crew members attended tonight's dinner, and at the same time, some local stars in Hong Kong City were also invited.

Xu Taiping estimated that tonight should be the time for him to see the most stars at one time, these stars have first-line big stars, and there are also second- and third-tier small stars.

Although he has no direct relationship with these stars, almost all celebrities respect Xu Taiping very much.

Xu Taiping was a little surprised at first, but after hearing Zhao Xiaohua's explanation, she understood.

"Now that the entertainment industry is in a recession, any investor or producer is the object of these stars, even if it is a first-line star. Zhao Xiaohua explained to Xu Taiping in a low voice.

"It's still the same sentence, whoever has money is the uncle?" Xu Taiping said.

"Indeed!" Zhao Xiaohua nodded with a smile.

The dinner was very lively, especially under everyone's deliberate stuttering, Xu Taiping's mood was good.

"Mr. Xu, let me introduce to you, this is the vice president of the Hong Kong Film Association, Mr. Lin Zairong. The director pulled a middle-aged man to Xu Taiping and introduced it very solemnly.

"Hello Mr. Xu!" the middle-aged man named Lin Zairong smiled and stretched out his hand to Xu Taiping.

"Hello!" Xu Taiping smiled, shook hands with the other party, and then chatted briefly.

"Mr. Xu, President Lin is not only the vice president of the Film Association, but also the president of the Hong Kong Film Charity Foundation, President Lin has been committed to letting more stars devote themselves to the welfare cause, the day after tomorrow, President Lin organized a fashion saba party, the first-line stars of the entire Hong Kong and Macao region, as well as the first-line stars of our road will almost come, the theme of this party is to raise funds for the research and treatment of ALS, and there will be a charity auction at the party, President Lin just told me, I hope you can be invited to participate in this party. The director stood beside Xu Taiping and said in a low voice.

"All proceeds from the charity auction will be used for research and treatment of ALS people, and we will not take a penny. Lin Zairong continued the director's words.

"Okay, this kind of activity is very meaningful, I will participate!" Xu Taiping said.

"It would be even better if Mr. Xu could come up with some things for charity sale, and many of the things we sell for charity are collectibles for many people. Lin Zairong said.

"Okay, then I'll have someone send you something tomorrow, you can take it and shoot it!" Xu Taiping said.

"In that case, thank you Mr. Xu!" Lin Zairong said with a smile on his face.

"As it should be!"
