Chapter 42: New Year

Since Jiang Ran knew that there were a group of people on Hong Kong Road who wanted to fight his own idea, he met Li Junxia under the introduction of his brother-in-law Li Lixing, and sponsored 5 million construction funds for the Hong Kong Police Force.

After media reports, Jiang Ran's sponsorship of the police force was well known to most Hong Kong citizens, and the relationship between Jiang Ran and Li Junxia also spread on the road.

On this day, Ah Qing called Jiang Ran to inform him of the new situation on the road, and after hearing Jiang Ran's questioning, Ah Qing said:

"Ah Ran, now it is rumored on the road that you have a deep relationship with Li Junxia, and the rumors of slaughtering your fat sheep that often appeared before are basically gone now, and no one should trouble you again this time. โ€

Jiang Ran also let out a sigh of relief, his whole person's nerves had been tense all this time, and now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"That's good, it seems that Li Junxia's energy in black and white in Hong Kong is not small. โ€

"Isn't this nonsense, don't look at the British in charge of the Hong Kong police force, but the people who really do things and deal with the road are all Chinese policemen. Li Junxia has been in the police force for decades, and now he has become the number one Chinese official in the Hong Kong police force, and his voice in the Chinese police force is very large.

Ah Qing was very envious of the relationship between Jiang Ran and Li Junxia, so after listening to Jiang Ran's words, he was very angry.

"You are lucky to be shit this time, and with Li Junxia to take care of you in the future, ordinary people will not pay attention to you. โ€

Jiang Ran's heart was relaxed now, he put his legs on the desk, lay on the chair with his upper body, and said to Ah Qing on the other end of the phone: "Ah Qing, you don't look at what kind of person I am now, billionaire." As soon as I stood in front of Li Junxia, he was impressed by my temperament and wealth. As soon as I told him about it, I immediately promised to take care of it. โ€

"Get out! You've got a fart temperament. โ€

Ranfeng Group began to take New Year's holiday on January 23, and the second Spring Festival of Jiang Ran's rebirth in Hong Kong also came unconsciously.

Although Jiang Ran's career can be said to be very successful now, the Jiang family still lives in Hollywood's home, and there are still restaurants on the two floors below.

On the evening of the 30th lunar calendar, Jiang Ran and his parents were in the living room, chatting about home affairs while preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

"Dad, let's go buy a house again in the next year, use all three floors here to open a store, hire a good chef again, make the restaurant bigger, and if you have good energy, you can also open a branch or something. Jiang Ran said while doing the work in his hands.

Before Jiang's father could speak, Jiang's mother disagreed, "We have lived here for decades, and we are surrounded by familiar neighborhoods, how boring it is after moving away, I think it's better not to move, and now we live well." โ€

Jiang Ran's father also said at this time: "It doesn't affect much to live here now, let's live first." When your career grows bigger in the future, it's not too late to move when it's inconvenient to live here. โ€

Since his parents are against moving, Jiang Ran will no longer mention it, anyway, he just mentioned it, mainly for safety reasons, but now that he has Li Junxia's relationship, coupled with the bodyguards he is equipped with, there is no problem with security for the time being, and where he lives is the same for Jiang Ran.

On the first day of the next day, Jiang Ran went to pay New Year's greetings to some elders and friends on this day as usual, and when he came home in the evening, he was so tired that he threw himself directly on the sofa and never wanted to get up again.

"Bellโ€”bell!"

Jiang Ran didn't seem to have any intention of answering the phone at a glance, so he had to helplessly prop up his upper body, pick up the phone, and said weakly: "Hey!

"Aran, why do you sound listless? "There was a nice voice on the phone.

After Jiang Ran heard the voice, he knew that it was Zhong Chuhong, and he raised his spirit and said, "It's Ah Hong, why do you think of calling me now, it's not easy." โ€

Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong have been in contact since the movie "Nightclub", but because they have more things to do, there are few opportunities to meet.

Speaking of which, Zhong Chuhong, as one of the most sexy actresses in Hong Kong in the 80s, it is impossible to say that Jiang Ran has no thoughts about Zhong Chuhong.

But because of the pressure during the filming and production of the movie, coupled with the constant flow of various things in the future, Jiang Ran had no time to think about how to end his sad single life.

Now that Jiang Ran was suddenly idle, when he heard Zhong Chuhong's voice, he suddenly had an impulse, an impulse to start a love affair in the spring.

"What are you talking about, a year ago, wasn't I afraid of disturbing our billionaires to make money? Now that I'm resting for the New Year, won't I call you right away to say hello? Boss Jiang has movies in the future, and he has to take care of me. โ€

Jiang Ran could imagine Zhong Chuhong's naughty appearance on the other end of the phone, wrinkling his nose and sticking out his tongue, and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm sorry, Ah Hong, I blame you wrong." So what the hell is it about you calling all of a sudden?"

"Oh, you're so boring, and you won't be free tomorrow, Ah Fa and I invite you to come out and get together. โ€

"Hey, I'm so disappointed, I thought it was just you who invited me? Why don't I call Ah Fa and ask him not to come tomorrow?" Jiang Ran said jokingly.

"Are you free, give a word, is it a man who is grinding and chirping. Zhong Chuhong was annoyed and yelled at Jiang Ran on the other end of the phone.

Jiang Ran suddenly felt that it was a pleasure to tease the beauties when he had nothing to do, "Okay, don't be angry." I'll be there on time tomorrow. โ€

The next day, Jiang Ran arrived at the dinner place on time. When I arrived, I found out that in addition to Zhong Chuhong and Chow Yun-fat, Chow Yun-fat also brought his girlfriend over.

Seeing Jiang Ran come in, Zhou Yunfa stood up and gave up his seat, and said in a greeting: "Ah Ran, Wishing you prosperity! Come in and sit down, just wait for you." โ€

Jiang Ran also smiled and hugged his fist at several people and said, "Everyone, Happy New Year!" Wishing you prosperity!"

Then Jiang Ran turned to Chow Yun-fat and asked, "Ah Fa, why don't you introduce this beauty." โ€

Chow Yun-fat glanced at the beauty with a gentle face, and then introduced to Jiang Ran with a smile: "Ah Ran, this is my girlfriend Chen Yulian." โ€

Then he said to Chen Yulian: "Yulian, you must know this beautiful boy, the founder of Ran Feng, the director of the movie "Nightclub" Jiang Ran, this time thanks to Ah Ran, Ah Hong and I can star in "Nightclub". โ€

Jiang Ran actually recognized Chen Yulian as soon as he came in, and his interpretation of Xiaolongnu and Wang Yuyan were all more classic interpretations in the eyes of later generations.

"Hello Miss Chen! I'm Jiang Ran. It's okay if you call me Ah Ran like Ah Fa. Jiang Ran said to Chen Yulian after Chow Yun-fat's introduction.

"Hello Ah Ran, thank you for taking care of Ah Fa. Chen Yulian greeted Jiang Ran politely.

Jiang Ran waved his hand and said, "Don't listen to Ah Fa's nonsense, I also want to thank him for agreeing to my performance with the movie." You know, I'm a rookie director. โ€

Zhong Chuhong was already waiting impatiently next to him, so he interrupted: "Okay! Okay! You two don't be so polite, if you continue to be so polite, you don't have to eat tonight's meal." โ€

Jiang Ran immediately echoed: "Yes, let's not be polite, everyone is a friend." โ€

After the food came up, several people began to chat while eating, and Jiang Ran suddenly asked, "Ah Hong, when will your contract expire at Shaw Brothers?"

Zhong Chuhong glanced at Jiang Ran a little strangely, and said, "How can you ask about this, I won't have until 1983 when the contract expires." โ€

Chow Yun-fat also stopped his chopsticks at this time, and looked at Jiang Ran strangely, he knew that Jiang Ran would not ask Zhong Chuhong this question for no reason.

Jiang Ran took a bite slowly, then glanced at a few people, and said: "It's nothing, it's just that the situation of Shaw Brothers movies is now in decline compared to previous years, and if your contract expires, you'd better pay attention." โ€

Speaking of this, Jiang Ran changed the topic and said to a few people with a smile: "Of course, if you are interested in signing another film company, you can consider our Ranfeng Films." โ€

Chow Yun-fat said at this time: "Now Shaw Brothers movies are indeed not as good as in previous years. But, Ah Ran, didn't your Ranfeng Film Company not sign actors?"
