In early July 1961, Cheng Yueru, who had been away from Hong Kong for more than two years, returned to Hong Kong.

Except for Cheng Yueru's family and a few close friends, outsiders did not know that she had a son in Michina, and this time she took her son back to Hong Kong together.

Soon after Cheng Yueru returned to Hong Kong, after adjusting her mood, she went to Huayi Brothers Pictures to report that on this day, Yang Meng happened to be working in the company.

"Cheng Yueru, you're finally back." Yang Meng warmly shook Cheng Yueru's hand, "For more than two years, how can you be willing to let go of your friends in Hong Kong." ”

"We don't talk on the phone a lot!" Cheng Yueru smiled, seeing Yang Meng's belly slightly raised, a little pregnant, "Are you pregnant?" ”

"yes. The expected date of delivery is the end of October. ”

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you! Cheng Yueru, you are free recently, the company is ready to invest in filming a costume drama, I think you are quite suitable to play the female number one. ”

"Available. I haven't made a movie in more than two years, and I really miss the days when I used to make movies. ”

"Let's go, let's go find Zou Wenhuai and ask him to arrange a job for you."

That evening, Yang Meng returned to his home on Repulse Bay Road on Hong Kong Island for dinner.

After dinner, Li Yisong and his wife sat in the living room for a while and then went back to the bedroom, while Li Hualong and his three wives continued to sit in the living room and chat.

"Aaron, do you know the news of Lin Dai's return to Hong Kong?" Yang Meng asked.

Li Hualong was stunned when he heard this, he had not heard the news of Cheng Yueru's return to Hong Kong before, and in the past two years, he thought of Cheng Yueru many times, he was worried that the other party would not be able to think about it, and even regretted his behavior, and felt that he was quite shameless.

"Why are you stunned?" Yang Meng smiled.

"Lin Dai has been away from Hong Kong for more than two years, right?" Li Hualong squeezed out a smile on his face to hide his embarrassment.

"yes." Yang Meng looked at Li Hualong with a smile, "Ah Long, you won't secretly have a crush on Lin Dai, right?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Hualong smiled bitterly.

"Cheng Yueru really thinks about it, I admire her a little." Chen Sisi smiled slightly, "For more than two years, many Hong Kong fans may have forgotten about her." ”

Xi Chongyi said: "Old fans will definitely not forget about it, she is the queen of the first Golden Horse Awards, and she has many loyal fans." ”

In the past two years, Yang Meng and Chen Sisi have won the second and third Golden Horse actresses respectively, although their acting skills have been recognized by many people, but because they are Li Hualong's wives and concubines, this has made some Hong Kong media make a big fuss about this, and some tabloids even insinuated that if they were not Li Hualong's wives and concubines, they would definitely not be able to become Golden Horse actresses.

Seeing the article questioning her acting skills, Chen Sisi was a little sad, but Yang Meng didn't care too much, she also comforted Chen Sisi and made her want to open a little.

Yang Meng said: "Cheng Yueru is not idle in the United States, after professional study, I will definitely go to the next level of her acting skills." ”

Xi Chongyi asked, "Sister Mengmeng, did you see Cheng Yueru today?" ”

"yes, I met her at the company." Yang Meng smiled slightly, "She looks good." The female number one of "Children of Heroes", which will start filming next month, is ready to be played by her. ”

Chen Sisi asked with a smile: "Ah Long, you are the screenwriter of "Children of Heroes", is Cheng Yueru suitable to play the female number one?" ”

Li Hualong said honestly: "If Cheng Yueru's acting skills have not regressed, she is quite suitable for playing the role of Yu Qingxia." ”

The story of the movie "Children of Heroes" was created by Li Hualong, the background of the story is in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, social changes took place, and the lives of several children of the rivers and lakes underwent great changes. There are cowardly and cowardly little guys who stick to tradition and grow into heroes.

In order to write the script of this movie, Li Hualong spent a lot of thought and time, and spent more than half a month before and after.

Yang Meng smiled and asked, "Among the actresses in Hong Kong, is there a more suitable actress than her?" ”

"Huh!" Li Hualong smiled, "Since you have decided to let her play, I won't say more." ”

"It wasn't for me to decide that Cheng Yueru would play the role of Yu Qingxia, I recommended Cheng Yueru to Wang Tianlin, Wang Tianlin personally auditioned Cheng Yueru, and after trying it, I felt that she was suitable for this role, so it was decided."

Yang Meng explained and quipped: "The boss of your company is still a screenwriter, if you don't think it's suitable, even if the director decides, you can change people!" ”

"Over the years, most of the films I have written as a screenwriter feel that it is not decided by me, but by the director."

Xi Chongyi asked: "Is our company giving too much power to the director?" ”

"I don't think so, it's under control." Li Hualong smiled and said, "Chongyi, have you heard of any director who cheats for personal gain?" ”

"Nope." Xi Chongyi shook his head with a smile, "That's what I said." ”

A few days later, Cheng Yueru was invited by a friend to have dinner at the Holiday Inn in Central.

On the way to the hotel, Cheng Yueru saw the Mandarin Oriental Hotel under construction and muttered: "Hong Kong has changed so much, the year before last, I also bought clothes in the floor shop of Princess Shop, but now they have been demolished." ”

Cheng Yue's female companion who was like a car asked with a smile, "Do you know who this building is building?" ”

"I don't know." Cheng Yueru smiled faintly, "Who's?" ”

"Your boss's. I heard that a 32-storey building will be built, and the base of the building is a shopping mall, which is very large, and after completion, it will definitely become the most upscale shopping place in Hong Kong. Above the pedestal is a five-star hotel, said to have a total of 999 rooms, including 68 suites, and a presidential suite, which will be luxuriously decorated, and when this hotel is completed, the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui will also be eclipsed. ”

"It's too risky to invest in a luxury hotel of this size." Cheng Yueru muttered.

"I also think it's very risky. I guess it may be that the business of the Intercontinental Hotel is too good that Li Hualong is willing to spend a lot of money to build this luxury hotel. Yueru, do you know Liao Chong Hing Bank? ”

"Yes."

"Last month, there was a run on the bank, and many depositors lined up to withdraw money, and I heard that Liao Baoshan, the owner of Liao Chong Hing Bank, had a stroke."

"Is Hang Seng Bank alright?" Cheng Yueru didn't care about what happened to Liao Baoshan at all, she remembered that Li Hualong was a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank.

"Hang Seng Bank is fine." The female companion glanced at Cheng Yueru a few times, and asked curiously, "Why do you care about the affairs of Hang Seng Bank?" ”

"I deposited a sum of money with Hang Seng Bank." Cheng Yueru replied.

Cheng Yueru did not lie, she was really a depositor of Hang Seng Bank, and she opened an account with the Hang Seng Silver Account at that time long before Li Hualong became a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank.

Hearing that there was a problem with Liao Chong Hing Bank, Cheng Yueru's initial reaction was not worried about the problem with Hang Seng Bank. Instead of deposits and interest, he was worried that Li Hualong, a shareholder, would suffer heavy losses, and he clearly remembered that Li Hualong was a shareholder of Hang Seng Bank.

Cheng Yueru just went to the United States for a period of time, she deliberately let herself not think about Li Hualong, but Li Hualong would always appear in her dreams, and later, she was no longer reluctant to think about Li Hualong, and even sometimes, all day, Li Hualong was in her mind.

"I also keep my money in Hang Seng Bank. Your boss is the majority shareholder of Hang Seng Bank, and I think that even if something goes wrong with this company, your boss will not admit that Hang Seng Bank will fail, and it is quite safe to keep your money in Hang Seng Bank. The female companion said.

Cheng Yueru smiled noncommittally, changed the topic and asked, "Has Holiday Inn launched a new cuisine?" ”

"Yes, in the past two years, Holiday Inn has added some signature dishes, and Buddha jumping over the wall is worth tasting."

"Buddha jumping over the wall?" Cheng Yueru smiled, "The name of this dish is very interesting. ”

"This dish is particularly delicious, it is a meat dish, it is estimated that the Buddha smelled the aroma and would eat it over the wall."

"You're making a big joke, it's not good to joke with the Buddha."

"That's what everybody says. You don't know, this dish is very particular, and there are twenty or thirty kinds of ingredients. ”

"A hodgepodge?"

"Pretty much. Hehe, but the taste is really good, and later, we will eat Buddha jumping over the wall. ”

"Okay. After listening to your introduction, my mouth is a little greedy. What ingredients are used in this dish? ”

"I didn't remember it all, but I remember that there were shark fins, sea cucumbers, abalone, dried scallops, chicken, duck, lamb elbow, pork belly, hoof tips, hoof tendons, ham, chicken gizzards, duck gizzards, pigeon eggs, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, razor clams, and so on. Each of us orders a cup, and the other dishes are just a little bit fine. ”

"You guys order more good ones, I'll have a treat." Cheng Yueru smiled.

"No, I can't. Said that I had a treat, and I would pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. ”

"It's been a few days since I've been back in Hong Kong, and I don't have to pick up the wind and wash the dust." Cheng Yueru excused.

"A must. You don't know, my family jumped to work in Hualong Real Estate Company, and now his income has increased a lot. The female companion smiled happily.

"That's clatter." Cheng Yueru smiled, "I heard that the income of Hualong Real Estate Company's employees is the highest in the industry. ”

"yes. In fact, the income of the employees of Li Hualong's company is very good, and there are few people who work for Li Hualong who do not miss Li Hualong's goodness. ”

At this time, Cheng Yueru took a taxi to the door of the Holiday Inn, and after the car stopped, she paid the fare and got off with her companions.

After dinner at the hotel, Cheng Yueru said goodbye to friends and drove home.

This night, Cheng Yueru had insomnia, it was not her son's noise that made her insomnia, it was that she was thinking about Li Hualong.

"I still can't forget him!" ”

Cheng Yueru was a little helpless, in the past few months, she felt that she had deliberately let go of Li Hualong, but the truth was the opposite.

Cheng Yueru tossed and turned on the bed for a while, she wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep, the taste was uncomfortable, and finally, she turned on the light and got up.

Looking at her son lying in the crib, Cheng Yueru smiled and muttered: "Ah Long, you can't be like your father when you grow up, you have to be dedicated, and when you meet the woman you love, you will love her for the rest of your life......."

Cheng Yueru muttered a few words, found a martial arts novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", sat on the bed and read it, although she had read it a few times before, but when she looked at it again, she still read it with relish, and she muttered a few words to herself from time to time.

"Let me be Huang Rong, he is Guo Jing, how good it would be to ......"

"He is not Guo Jing, he is Yang Kang...... No, he is Wei Xiaobao, the terrible Wei Xiaobao. ”

After one o'clock in the morning, Cheng Yueru was really sleepy, yawned a few times in a row, she put down the book, and then went to bed.
