Chapter 040: First Encounter with He Chaohuan
Zhao Yazhi was pregnant, and the pregnancy reaction was getting stronger and stronger, how could Lin Jianqi not see it, but the concerned look on his face made Zhao Yazhi's heart even more bitter.
"I'm fine, a lot of big people are coming tonight, I can't snub them!" Zhao Yazhi was a little pale, and her face was full of determination.
"Half a Pound and Eight Taels" was put on the big screen in the applause after Boss Zou's speech, Lin Jianqi's whole mind was on Zhao Yazhi, seeing her forced smile, but she was able to deal with all kinds of characters with ease, and most of the wealthy children and actors who wanted to come to help him were ignored by him, even if Lin Jianqi was considered to be arrogant, it didn't matter, he only had Zhao Yazhi by his side in his eyes at this moment.
Lin Baixin and Lin Baiye, the two heads of the Lin family, who were traveling with them, discovered this situation, and indifferently looked at Zhao Yazhi, who was inseparable from Lin Jianqi's side, and the two glanced at each other.
"Half a Pound and Eight Taels" tells the story of Li Guojie (played by Xu Guanjie) who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and is not willing to work on the assembly line of a soda factory, so he resigned to apply for a job as a private detective. The president of the Universal Private Detective Agency, Huang Ruosi (played by Xu Guanwen), is mean and unkind and thinks highly of himself, but he often takes on some small cases, and he is not interested in Li Guojie's arrival. The president mistakenly thinks that a neighbor has stolen his wallet on the road, so he beats him violently, but later discovers that it was a misunderstanding.
The neighbor called the police, the president and Li Guojie fled for their lives in embarrassment, and in hiding, the president felt that Li Guojie was agile, so he promised him to come to work. The theater owner is robbed by a strongman and asks the president for help. The president and Li Guojie came to the theater and found that it was Uncle Jian's gang who robbed, they specialized in robbery for a living, and they had fought against Li Guojie, and now they met on a narrow road. The president battled wits and courage with them, and Li Guojie subdued them and sent them to the police station to receive commendations. And after this adventure, the president also changed his attitude towards his subordinates, and the detective agency has been like a family since then.
Zhao Yazhi is an employee of the Universal Private Detective Agency in the film "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", playing the secretary of the boss Huang Ruosi, although it is only a supporting role in it, Lin Jianqi added a lot of classic lines and scenes to her script, which is also very outstanding.
The laughter of the audience rang out one after another in the theater, and the incredible eyes of Lin Baixin and Lin Baiye frequently fell on Lin Jianqi, and the latter seemed to be engrossed in the screen. Lin Baixin saw Lin Jianqi's calm expression and admired it even more, but Lin Baiye was bitter in his heart, if he had known that Lin Jianqi still had this talent, he would not have easily pushed him out of the house, and Lin Jianqi's biological parents, Lin Jianmin and Chen Shaohua's faces were even more ugly.
Lin Jianqi is used to seeing classic films "in memory", not to mention that he has watched it several times when editing "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", and seems to be paying serious attention to the plot of the movie, but thinking about other things in his heart, Zhao Yazhi next to him seems to be paying serious attention to the film, but his left hand is tightly grasping Lin Jianqi's arm, and there are bursts of heart-piercing pain in the latter's arm, but Lin Jianqi is secretly gritting his teeth, as if he has nothing to do with his expressionless face.
After the movie was released, Lin Jianqi didn't make any entertainment, and pulled Zhao Yazhi to quickly follow the flow of people and go outside, he wanted to send Zhao Yazhi home to rest, the latter was already uncomfortable with sweaty sideburns, and his delicate body trembled slightly.
Zhao Yazhi's home was pitch black, and Lin Jianqi wanted to help her in, but she blocked the door.
"Go back quickly, tonight is very important to you, Boss Zou and they still have a drinking party!" Zhao Yazhi lowered her head and couldn't see the expression on her face.
"What is more important than you, Ah Zhi, I will help you in!" Lin Jianqi insisted.
"You go! ......" Zhao Yazhi's willow eyebrows were upside down, and two words were squeezed out from between her teeth.
"......, then you pay attention to rest!" Lin Jianqi exhaled deeply with his nose, said calmly, and then turned around and got into the car without looking back, and the car drove away quickly.
Zhao Yazhi is right, tonight can be said to be very important to Lin Jianqi, if he does not appear, he will have a reputation of arrogance, not to mention the outside world's doubts about him, and the hard work of the past may also be in vain, becoming an obstacle to his rise plan.
The most important thing Lin Jianqi needs to do now is to prove his talent, many of the guests at tonight's Golden Harvest Cocktail Party are Hong Kong's business celebrities, and gaining their recognition is immeasurable for his future development, not to mention that Lin Baixin told him thousands of times before, tonight the gambling king He Hongsen will bring his second wife Lan Huanying and second daughter Chao Huan will be invited to come, the first impression is very important, if the performance is not good, the image will lose points, it will affect the marriage alliance between the Lin family and the He family.
Lin Jianqi guessed that if he messed up, the two Lin families would cut off the funding for him, which was a big trouble for Lin Jianqi, who wanted to borrow a sum of money from the two Lin families, and one wrong step, all kinds of bigger troubles would follow, forming a vicious circle that was unfavorable to him.
Go out and fight the world independently with your own strength? Please, this is reality, not a YY novel, maybe you can bury your head in development, but how long will it take, and how many detours will it take? Go to Bill Gates and Steve Jobs to call each other brothers, buy some shares of Microsoft and Apple and easily become a billionaire? What about dreaming, without the corresponding identity and status, he was twisted to the police station every minute, ordinary people only saw Bill Gates and his American dream of getting rich overnight, but they didn't see the real reason why he became rich, he didn't have a wealthy family background, if he was an ordinary person, let alone dropping out of Harvard, he couldn't even touch the gate of Harvard University.
Lin Jianqi is not an invincible superman who can take care of the overall situation, even if the superman who is as powerful as the superman in the story, he has been frustrated all the way from childhood to adulthood, and the situation is stronger than people, Lin Jianqi has to temporarily bow to the two Lin families for his own development, because this is his fastest, reasonable and legal opportunity, so that others can accept and recognize his rapid rise.
Lin Jianqi knows a truth, everything cannot be achieved overnight, there is a gradual process, a big tree wants to stand tall and needs to be deep-rooted, luxuriant, and the extra wealth out of thin air will make people suspicious, and finally Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, any country and the era of rich people will not have a good end, losing the protection of the force, just like a piece of fat for a group of wolves, even freedom and security will become a luxury, if you encounter someone who has a heart to torture him, Lin Jianqi may not be able to withstand it, So what will happen to you after that?
"Young Master! I'm sorry! Lin An drove the car seriously, and suddenly apologized.
Lin An, who was newly married, could not have guessed that Zhao Yazhi, who was the young master's favorite, was pregnant, and something went wrong with what he did before. Lin Anxin thought of his current happy life, and he was full of guilt for Lin Jianqi, and the carriage was silent for a while.
"It's none of your business, you're thinking too much!" Lin Jianqi closed his eyes as if he was tired and weak.
What kind of Zhao Yazhi is the most beautiful, of course, Zhao Yazhi who was reborn from a failed marriage, otherwise she will lack the unique charm that Lin Jianqi dreamed of, there has never been a shortage of beauties in the world, if she is just greedy and lustful, Lin Jianqi can have many choices.
And the most important point, Zhao Yazhi has not yet reached the lowest point of her life, at that time, she reached out to help, and then treated her sincerely, full of love, how will Zhao Yazhi's character repay herself? Playing tricks? Joke, this is the human heart, guilt? Heavy or? Would you feel guilty if you took one of a person's matches and gave her a spring? Are the other details still important?
Golden Harvest held a very warm reception, boss Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang successively came to the stage to speak, in the applause, Lin Jianqi was invited by Zou Huaiwen to speak on the stage, the latter calmly bowed slightly in the applause and came out of the crowd.
Lin Jianqi warmly hugged Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang on the stage, showing that their relationship was familiar and intimate, before he walked to the microphone, bowed deeply in exchange for a round of applause and smiled: "I am Lin Jianqi!" There was another good-natured applause from the audience.
Distinguished gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, relatives and friends,
Good evening, everyone! (Applause.)
At this moment, I am very moved, Golden Harvest Film Company gave me this opportunity to show, thank Golden Harvest Company! At the same time, I would like to thank your family and friends who took time out of their busy schedules to attend the reception! Thank you! Without your support and encouragement, I would not have grown up today. It is your care and blessings that have brought me all the way to where I am today! Happiness will be doubled when it is shared, so today's honor is also everyone's honor! Thank you again! (Applause from the audience)
Recalling the creation of "Half a Pound and Eight Taels", I am full of emotion at this time, my experience is different, I grew up listening to the entrepreneurial stories of your elders, the entrepreneurial story of Zou Wenhuai of Jiahe; My father Lin Baixin's entrepreneurial story of 13 yuan; Ho Hun Sen's entrepreneurial story of unwilling fate; The indomitable entrepreneurial story of Kowloon Bank; My Uncle Li Zhaoji: "Small businesses are afraid of food and are not afraid of interest, and big businesses are afraid of food and are not afraid of food." The story of diligent entrepreneurship; Huo Guantai, my Uncle Huo's perseverance and entrepreneurial story ......, I found that these seniors were all once wage earners, the poorest but begging, and they will eventually come out if they don't die! It's their positivity! Gritty! Indomitable! The enterprising spirit of Hong Kong has created their respective successes, so I created this "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" to entertain myself and others, make all the workers smile, and pay tribute to all the former and current workers! (Bow) (The audience burst into applause again)
I am very glad that I was able to meet Golden Harvest, an excellent film company, and I am very grateful to my relatives and friends who can have so much support, help and encouragement from Golden Harvest! You and I are the most treasured treasures in this life! Achievements belong to the past, gratitude, gratitude is beyond words, I, Lin Jianqi! I will take today's thank-you speech as a starting point, redouble my efforts in entertainment creation, and dedicate my own strength to the prosperity of Hong Kong like my predecessors, and then dedicate a song co-written by my good friend Hui Guanjie and me, "Half a catty and eight taels", thank you (bow).
Lin Jianqi's speech won the applause of the audience several times, and the eloquent talk show-like talk show made everyone in the audience extremely impressed by him, especially the smiles on the faces of many wealthy leaders who were highly praised, and they all remembered Lin Jianqi's name.
Xu Guanjie came to the stage with an electric guitar, laughed and high-fived Lin Jianqi, and sang "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" together in the soundtrack.
After the song performance, Xu Guanjie stayed on the stage to sing for the cocktail party, and the wealthy celebrities congratulated Zou Wenhuai, wishing his "Half a Pound and Eight Taels" movie a big hit, and Zou Wenhuai, who felt the glory on his face, praised Lin Jianqi who stood behind Lin Baixin with a respectful attitude in public, and even the gambling king He Hongsen also expressed his appreciation and affirmation of Lin Jianqi, and He Chaohuan, the second wife of the He family, Lan Huanying, looked Lin Jianqi up and down, and looked at him curiously.
Lin Jianqi responded modestly with a smile on his face, He Chaohuan's eyes looked at him, and he could naturally feel that Lin Jianqi was not interested in He Chaohuan, a beautiful girl like a princess, what a proud person the other party was, and stepping forward to greet him with a warm face would only make the other party look down on him even more, and he was bored with himself.
But objective things in reality often do not depend on people's will, he has no such plan for the time being, but He Chaohuan took the initiative to find him.
"Hello, I'm He Chaohuan." He Chaohuan, who was holding a delicate handbag, smiled.
"Lin Jianqi, hello Miss He." Lin Jianqi saw that the other party was holding the bag in his right hand, and he didn't mean to stretch out his hand at all, so he nodded with a smile.
"I'm curious, how long have you memorized your lines?" The corners of He Chaohuan's mouth raised slightly, and she asked softly playfully.
“……”
Lin Jianqi was speechless, the girl in front of him ran over alone, in order to ridicule him, she looked like a good lady in front of her parents, in fact, she was also extremely repulsed by the family marriage behind her back, and wanted to hit him as a suitor and let him take the initiative to withdraw from the pursuit of her? This girl is naïve enough, too self-righteous to take it for granted.
In the later generations of another space, He Chaohuan also resisted his father's arranged marriage, and lost his wedding dress designed by a famous French artist worth 1.2 million yuan before the wedding, and the gambling king launched a black and white two days to find it, the He family are all businessmen, when it comes to interests, family affection has nothing to talk about, even if He Chaohuan is unwilling, in the end he has no choice but to succumb to the interests of the family, and after marriage, he cares about the family and his own reputation, and has to compromise with the other party again and again, and spend his best youth on the scumbag.
"Why, don't you dare to say it?" He Chaohuan picked her sharp chin and snorted in a disdainful voice.
