January 12, 1992.

For a month, Chen Xuanting was busy. To deal with this damn debt crisis, he searched for everyone. Fortunately, thanks to his good popularity, at first it was the senior who came to help, then Andy Lau came to the rescue, and then Leslie Cheung and Chow Yun-fat pulled out their knives to help. It's a pity that none of them are super-rich. The real super-rich people like Fok Yingdong and Stanley Ho and others, because they have invested in Chen Xuanting's financial speculation plan, and now they have not seen the results, how can they help? Chen Xuanting himself was embarrassed to speak.

In addition to this, there are some small fluctuations within the Thunder. Stephen Chow intends to transfer his shares, after all, in business, Chen Xuanting also understands his hardships. Ren Dahua stuck to his position and thought that Chen Xuanting could get through.

Seeing Ren Dahua like this, Stephen Chow, who was originally a little tempted, gritted his teeth and said, "He can and I can too!" "I didn't even mention the transfer of shares anymore.

But Chen Xuanting knew that if it was not solved at this time, everyone would still have trouble sleeping. At this time, he had two choices, the first was to ask for help from his mother Qiao Huiru, Chen Xuanting believed that as long as he opened his mouth, she would never refuse. Second, turn to Li Zhaotai for help. But I already owe him a favor, and it is inevitable that there will be some ...... to turn to him for help.

On the balcony, Chen Xuanting drank beer boringly, even if the cold wind at night still couldn't blow away the sorrow in his heart.

Dad Chen Darong walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't drink anymore, it's hurting to drink alcohol!" ”

"Dad, what do you think I should do?"

"It's up to you." "If you think it's worth it and ask for help, then just go, and if you're willing to give up this newly established company, then I have nothing to say." ”

"I'm not reconciled, now "Across the Seas" and "Undefeated in the East" have been filmed and are waiting to be released. "Cheating Treasure" was a big hit at the box office, and if I lose Thunder at this time, I really am—"

"I know," Chen Darong leaned against the railing, "Every man has his own dreams, and he has to chase and struggle for them, but sometimes he has to learn to compromise!" ”

"Compromise?"

"Yes, one step back is the only way to take a hundred steps!" Chen Darong patted his son on the shoulder and limped away.

Inside the house, Sister-in-law Zhen and Xiao Zhou Xiuna are happily preparing meals, for them, as long as they have a home, it is happiness!

Just as Chen Xuanting was thinking about his father's words, the phone rang, but it was Li Xueman calling, saying that her mother would see him tomorrow night.

Lisman's mother?

I heard that Mr. Li has delegated power, can I seek help from her?

Chen Xuanting secretly smiled bitterly, let's put it down, what do I do with so much heart, as long as the currency market closes the net, I can laugh and be proud of the world, why care about the gains and losses at this time? Thinking of this, Chen Xuanting relaxed and thought about what he should say when he saw Li Xueman and her mother tomorrow night!

…………… Qi Qingsi deliberately gave herself a night off today.

Recently, as soon as she returned to Hong Kong, she had a detailed discussion with Li Zhaotai. As a result of the conversation, Li Zhaotai decided to delegate power and hand over all the business in Hong Kong, including the work of TVB, to her.

At first, Qi Qingsi kept pushing back, after all, he was still very unfamiliar with the entertainment business.

But Li Zhaotai had made up his mind, and told her that as long as Chen Xuanting helped, these things would be easy to solve.

Now more than a month has passed, Qi Qingsi took over Ritchie's business in Hong Kong, which can be described as a great opportunity, but she is happy in her heart and in a good mood, all of which naturally stems from the reconciliation between Li Zhaotai and her, as well as the change of her daughter Li Xueman.

Especially for her precious daughter, Qi Qingsi is even more happy. Although the relationship with her daughter has not improved much, seeing that her daughter is now like a different person compared to before, Qi Qingsi is extremely relieved.

At the beginning, after knowing that Li Xueman would go to school on time every day, Qi Qingsi was a little unbelievable, she was quite clear about her daughter's spleen and surname, and she had asked Li Xueman to go to school seriously countless times before, but the effect was minimal, so in terms of learning, Qi Qingsi had no hope for Li Xueman.

What happened to her daughter during this time that made her take the initiative to learn? Qi Qingsi was puzzled by this, and asked Li Xueman a few times, but he didn't get any useful information. So, Qi Qingsi had to ask Old Man Li, only to know that most of the changes in his daughter were related to that wireless genius Chen Xuanting!

What's so special about this Chen Xuanting, being relied on by the old man Li as his right-hand man, and allowing his daughter to undergo such a big change? Qi Qingsi was extremely curious about his daughter, a cadre he had never met, and of course he was very grateful to him in his heart, and always wanted to visit Chen Xuanting in person, but he couldn't spare time, so this matter was also delayed again and again.

Today, Qi Qingsi asked her daughter Xue Man to take the initiative to call Chen Xuanting and invite him to meet and get together. thought that Chen Xuanting would refuse his invitation because of the matter of Thunder Company, but he never thought that he agreed. Qi Qingsi was not only surprised, but also happily waiting for that moment to come. Therefore, she put down all the entertainment in the evening, and in the afternoon she hurried to finish the business at hand, and returned home............ In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Xuanting was invited by Xiao Ruoyuan to participate in the celebration banquet of the play "Treasure of Cheating Love".

This Hong Kong's highest-grossing tertiary film of all time is not much happier than Chan. After all, the benefits from this drama are a drop in the bucket, and they can't save the crisis of Thunder Pictures.

In the banquet, Ye Yuqing, as the starring role, can be regarded as the focus of many stars, and many men are eager for her, but Chen Xuanting is hiding on the side and drinking champagne.

At this time, Xiao Ruoyuan walked up to him and said, "What, unhappy?" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled and said, "Why are you unhappy?" This drama is so profitable! ”

Xiao Ruoyuan: "You can't fool me, is it because of the thunder?" ”

Chen Xuanting didn't hide it either, and nodded.

Xiao Ruoyuan: "If you want, I can help you, the profit from the sale of this "Cheating Treasure" is at least more than 30 million, you can take it all!" ”

Chen Xuanting: "Why do you want to help me?" ”

Xiao Ruoyuan: "Even if you owe me!" ”

Chen Xuanting shook his head: "Thank you, but you can't help me, I don't want 30 million, but 300 million!" ”

Xiao Ruoyuan: "......"

Chen Xuanting: "So I understand your kindness, and I'm ready to give up," he said, raising his glass, "But don't worry, I will definitely make a comeback in the future!" ”

Xiao Ruoyuan: "I believe you!" ”

Chen Xuanting: "Even I don't believe in myself, how can you ......?"

Xiao Ruoyuan: "Because I see ambition in your eyes!" ”

Just as the two were talking, Li Xueman suddenly burst out of nowhere, "What are you talking about?" Uncle Chen! ”

Being called "uncle" for the first time, Chen Xuanting had a feeling of getting old.

Xiao Ruoyuan looked at Li Xueman: "You are-"

"He's my uncle, and of course I'm his niece!" Li Xueman grabbed Chen Xuanting's arm and said.

"Don't mess around!" Chen Xuanting hurriedly said to Xiao Ruoyuan, "She is the granddaughter of my boss Li Zhaotai. ”

"Hehe, it turned out to be the little princess of the Li family, why are you here?"

"yes, why are you here?" This time it was Chen Xuanting who asked.

Li Xue grinned and said, "Of course I participated in your celebration banquet, but "Treasure of Cheating Love" is quite good-looking, and many of the stories in it are very interesting!" ”

"What? You watched this drama?! Chen Xuanting's eyes widened.

Xiao Ruoyuan is also a little embarrassed, you must know that this drama is a third-level film, and such a movie in Hong Kong must be at least eighteen years old to watch.

"Cut, what's the big deal, isn't it just men and women, I'm almost eighteen years old, I know everything! Besides, don't you make movies like this for people to watch? ”

Li Xueman's words choked Chen Xuanting and Xiao Ruoyuan speechless. When I met such an avant-garde girl, I had to go with her.

"Okay, even if you have a point, what are you doing at this point?" Chen Xuanting didn't have a good airway.

Li Xue grinned and said, "Of course I'm going to see my mother with you!" ”

Chen Xuanting glanced at Xiao Ruoyuan next to him.

Xiao Ruoyuan smiled and said, "Since you have private matters to discuss, it is inconvenient for me to be here anymore, you can talk!" With that, he left, but his expression seemed very ambiguous. It's no wonder that people are ambiguous, the daughter is so beautiful, and the mother is not far behind, a pair of mother and daughter, this Ah Ting can be regarded as a career failure, and the love scene is proud.

Seeing Xiao Ruoyuan leaving, Chen Xuanting looked at Li Xue and said, "My eldest lady, it's still early, I told your mother that I will go over at eight o'clock tonight!" ”

"Eight o'clock...... Li Xue rolled her smart eyes and suddenly smiled wisely: "Director Chen, do you want to have a more pleasant chat with my mother then?" ”

"Uh, what do you mean?" Chen Xuanting was slightly stunned.

"If you want, I can give you some information, such as my mother's surname, hobbies, and habits when speaking."

"Little girl, are you so kind?" Chen Xuanting couldn't help laughing, seeing that Li Xueman's eyes were fluttering and strange when she spoke, it could be seen that she was obviously thinking about something ghostly...... "Hmph, am I as bad as you think?" If you don't want to know, pull it down! Li Xueman pouted very dissatisfied, and was about to leave.

Chen Xuanting suddenly changed his mind, hurriedly stopped her, and said with a smile: "Tell me?" ”

Li Xueman smiled and said: "That's right, I'll tell you, my mother ...... her" As soon as the conversation box opened, Li Xueman suddenly gushed out.

In order to handle his relationship with this new superior, and even more so to be able to seek help from her, Chen Xuanting specially collected reports about Qi Qingsi in old newspapers this morning. There are a lot of comments about her in it, and after Chen Xuanting read it, he thought that he already had a general understanding of Qi Qingsi, but after listening to Li Xueman for a few minutes, he realized that what she said was more useful than the materials he had read in the newspaper for several hours.

"How? This information is okay, right? After Li Xueman finished speaking, he looked up triumphantly with a little face, a gesture of inviting merit.

"Great! Li Xueman, you have helped me a lot, thank you so much! ”

Chen Xuanting smiled cutely, and wanted to hug Li Xueman, and vigorously "chirp" on her white and tender little face, of course, morality and conscience told him that impulsiveness is the devil!

"It's just a small thing, it's nothing!" Li Xue waved her delicate little hand with a look of anger on her face.

Chen Xuanting nodded his head approvingly, what a good girl, but it is really her own timely rain! It seems that this girl has been completely transformed, and now she knows that she has done good deeds, and what is even more rare is that she is not arrogant, not bad! Not bad!

"But ......"

As soon as Chen Xuanting finished sighing, Li Xueman suddenly changed his tone, stretched his voice, and said with a smile: "Director Chen, although this is a small matter for me, it is a big deal for you!" Like you said, I've done you a great favor at such a critical time, you have to show it, right? ”

"Huh?"

Sure enough, yes, this little girl has to continue to transform! Chen Xuanting was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly said, what do you need me to say? ”

"Uh-huh!"

Li Xueman smiled like a cunning little fox, "I think so, you can give me a gift." However, you have to give me what I like, and I don't accept ...... if I don't like it! ”

"No problem, isn't it just a gift, even if you don't say I'll give it, after all, it's almost the New Year!" Chen Xuanting smiled, but said with a little headache, "It's just, what kind of gift do you like?" Or tell me now, and I'll just buy it tomorrow! ”

Li Xue glanced at Chen Xuanting and said, "Guess it yourself!" If I told you everything, what would it mean?! ”

How do I know what gift you want? Chen Xuanting was a little depressed, and he could only agree stubbornly, but he secretly wondered, little girls generally like things like rag dolls, but this girl is not small, and it is estimated that it is not appropriate to send this, well, it is better to ask Li Jiaxin tomorrow...... It's better to ask Qiu Shuzhen Forget it, I've been busy with work recently, and I've snubbed her, I don't know if she will ignore herself!

"Okay, don't be sad! Isn't it just for you to guess what I like as a gift? Li Xue pouted, and suddenly said mysteriously, "Moreover, as long as the gift you give me is satisfactory, there will be a reward tomorrow night......"

"What reward?"

"It's precious!" Lixue grinned, and then immediately added, "However, I can prepay you a little bit now!" After the voice fell, Li Xueman's little face turned slightly red.

"Oh? Hurry up and take it out and I'll take a look! Chen Xuanting was very surprised.

"Don't worry!"

Li Xueman snorted a little coquettishly, turned her starry eyes, and after observing back and forth, left and right, she suddenly pursed her red lips, stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed Chen Xuanting's cheek. Immediately, under Chen Xuanting's stunned gaze, Li Xueman chuckled a few times shyly, and ran away quickly with a red face.

This is the reward of the little girl?

Chen Xuanting stretched out his hand to cover the place where Li Xueman had kissed, and stood stunned for a long time before he finally came back to his senses, but his ears still seemed to be echoing with Li Xueman's silver bell-like laughter. Don't be foolish with such a reward! Chen Xuanting was slightly sweating on his forehead, and his eyes looked around vigilantly, fortunately he was not seen by Xiao Ruoyuan and others, otherwise he would have to be made into a third-level film.

…… Li Xueman ran out with her legs in the wind, and then she leaned against the wall by the side of the road and stopped, gasping for breath, but her beautiful cheeks were red from nervous or vigorous exercise, just like the ripe apple, so delicate that she could wring out water.

Bending down slightly, Li Xueman stretched out a small hand and gently patted a few times on the green and crispy chest dotted with two small steamed buns, but the heart was unwilling to be lonely and jumped, so even Li Xueman himself could hear the "pounding" heartbeat clearly.

After a long while, the excitement calmed down, and suddenly sneered and laughed: "Stinky guy, let you bully me before, this time scared you to death!" ”

The agreed meeting time with Qi Qingsi was eight o'clock in the evening, and Chen Xuanting was ready and set off at almost seven o'clock. However, this time the meeting place was not at Qi Qingsi's house, but in a small teahouse called "Xiang Ming" opposite the main entrance of the "Bauhinia Garden" villa area.

This "fragrant tea house" is still recommended by Qi Qingsi.

The soft light reflects the antique furnishings in the teahouse, but it also has a quiet and elegant charm. In the center of the teahouse is a small rockery, and a clear stream emerges from the cracks in the stones, flowing down the winding ravine of the mountain into the small clear pool below. The subtle sound of "whooshing" water wafted away, but it caused a few small carp playing in the pool to swim more and more jubilantly.

Chen Xuanting came here at half past seven and chose the innermost place in the teahouse to sit down.

The soft and elegant sound of the guqin spread in the air, but it rose like light smoke in Chen Xuanting's heart. In normal times, Chen Xuanting would probably be as calm and relaxed as other customers in the teahouse when he heard such music. But at this moment, thinking of Qi Qingsi, who was about to meet, Chen Xuanting's mind would unconsciously appear the shadow of Li Xueman's little girl.

The gentle kiss at the celebration venue really scared Chen Xuanting enough. Until now, he was still a little uneasy.

Is this little girl mostly playful, or does she mean something else...... Ahem, it's really scary to die!

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xuanting unconsciously smiled bitterly, shook his head, and slowly expelled all the chaotic thoughts from his heart.

When Chen Xuanting opened his eyes again and raised his head, he saw a graceful figure walking towards him...... "Director Chen?" Hello! ”

The sound is clear, like the cry of a yellow warbler, which is extremely beautiful.

Qi Qingsi only wore a set of white casual clothes casually, but this ordinary dress could not hide her graceful demeanor in the slightest. Like the moth eyebrows of Spring Mountain, the eyes as clear as autumn water, the straight and delicate nose, and the red cherry lips, her face with thin makeup is more and more beautiful.

Qi Qingsi's figure is extremely plump and fit, with towering breasts, round ~ buttocks, and the two slender **, outlining a series of graceful curves, making Qi Qingsi look full of mature charm. Her hair hung down like a cloud at the back of her head, trembling gently like a wave with her steps, which made her even more charming and enchanting.

Although Chen Xuanting had seen Qi Qingsi's photos earlier, when he saw her in person now, he found that she was even more beautiful than the photos. But despite this, Chen Xuanting still behaved quite calmly, of course, thanks to Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen, Li Ruotong and others who appeared by his side during this time. In terms of appearance, none of them will lose to Qi Qingsi, Chen Xuanting has been cultivated for so long, and naturally has a strong resistance to beauties.

"Well, that's right, you're Ms. Qi, right?"

Chen Xuanting slowly stood up and smiled slightly. For the woman he met for the first time, Chen Xuanting would not be reckless to shake hands with her, so he just nodded lightly towards Qi Qingsi.

Seeing that Chen Xuanting looked as usual when he saw him. Qi Qingsi was slightly surprised, she has been crisscrossing the shopping mall for so many years, and she has not seen few people, especially those young people who claim to be talented, but when they saw her, they all looked flattered, how could Chen Xuanting be so calm, but then again, how could it be an ordinary person who could subdue his daughter?

"Director Chen, I'm Qi Qingsi!"

Qi Qingsi glanced at Chen Xuanting approvingly, but smiled. Chong Chen Xuanting stretched out his right hand, which was as white as jade.

Seeing this, Chen Xuanting couldn't help but be a little surprised, and was stunned before he and Qi Qingsi's hands were in one place, and then let go after touching them lightly, but the feeling was slippery, unusually delicate and delicate.

"Ms. Qi. I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that you were the mother of Li Xueman's classmate......"

After the two sat down, Chen Xuanting couldn't help but praise. Qi Qingsi looked to be only twenty-five or six years old, and the skin on his face was even more crystal clear and smooth as jade, as if there was a layer of luster. If those girls in their twenties who rubbed grease and powder every day knew the actual age of Qi Qingsi, I am afraid they would be ashamed of themselves.

Hearing Chen Xuanting's slightly frivolous words, Qi Qingsi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and when he saw that Chen Xuanting's eyes were sincere, he was relieved. said with a smile: "Director Chen has won the award!" It's already eight o'clock, so why don't we ask for a pot of tea first. And then talk slowly, what do you think? Qi Qingsi originally planned to hurry up and leave after talking to Chen Xuanting about each other. But perhaps it was affected by the casual atmosphere in this teahouse, and this idea in my heart was diluted a lot.

"Good!" Chen Xuanting said.
