Chapter 175. Thunder turmoil
Seeing that the waitress was gone, Li Ruotong kicked Chen Xuanting with his foot and said, "You are really generous enough, to be honest, do you fall in love with other people's little girls?" Even the waiter in the noodle restaurant didn't let go, and I really can't change your romantic nature! β
Chen Xuanting knew that she was joking with herself, so he laughed and said, "What, are you jealous?" β
"yes, I'm jealous! Eat your balsam! Li Ruotong glanced at him with watery eyes.
"Oh yes? I don't know how many girls are lining up to eat my vinegar! "Stinky beauty!" Li Ruotong despised him.
Chen Xuanting: "Even if it's really stinky and beautiful, it needs capital, doesn't it?" β
Li Ruotong: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Li Jiaxin these words?" He asked, with his mouth cocked.
Chen Xuanting: "Tell her?" Hehe, I can't stop you if you want to be a reactionary, I guess this is what you often did when you were a child, making small reports, fake public and private affairs, and sue after the autumn......"
Li Ruotong was so angry that he kicked him under the table: "You die!" β
Chen Xuanting was in pain: "By the way, there is also this casual hoof...... You're a little too ruthless, kicking people's cartilage. β
Li Ruotong puffed up her nose: "If you want to play the little dragon girl, how can you do it without one or two self-defense skills?" β
When Chen Xuanting heard this, he smiled slightly: "What you said is reasonable, I hope you can really practice the Jade Girl swordsmanship, and save yourself the time to delay filming blindly...... Okay, let's not talk about it, the dishes have come up, my little dragon girl, you can eat with your belly open, and soon you will go to the ancient tomb to live the bitter day of drinking dew and vegetarian food!! β
Chen Xuanting and the others were in high spirits, joking and drinking beer at the same time.
The ruffians sitting next to them were quietly looking at them, their eyes shifting from Chen Xuanting's bulging pockets to Li Ruotong's bulging chest, and their eyes were full of indescribable greed and silver evil.
At this time, Chen Xuanting, who had been locked as the prey, was not alert at all, and was still enjoying the food on the table.
"Ah Tong, I didn't expect you to drink quite well, if I remember well, you will drink whiskey even more."
"Of course, Miss Ben's alcohol consumption is a no-brainer, the last time I flew to England to drink with those ghosts, I put it down in one go." When he said this, Li Ruotong said proudly.
The corners of Chen Xuanting's mouth hooked, and he smiled: "The more you cough, the more wheezing you get, just your small amount of wine, rest in peace...... If you drink it again, you're really going to get drunk, look at your little face and blush! Chen Xuanting saw that Li Ruotong next to him was almost drunk, and snatched the wine glass in her hand.
"Ting, give me back the cup, I'm not drunk yet!" Li Ruotong stood up and wanted to snatch the wine glass from Chen Xuanting's hand, but when she stood up, she accidentally kicked down a beer bottle on the ground at the adjacent table, and the bubbling beer suddenly flowed to the ground.
It turned out that the ruffians who wanted to find a ballast to make a big deal and blackmail Chen Xuanting and the two suddenly fell out.
"Apologize, girl, apologize quickly!" The ruffians at the adjacent table tapped the table with empty beer bottles and made a "ping-pong" sound, scolding dryly.
Li Ruotong, who was joking with Chen Xuanting, was stupid.
In order not to make a big deal about it, Li Ruotong hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll buy you another bottle of wine!" β
"What? That's it? No way! β
"yes, no!"
"Isn't your boyfriend very rich, let him lose money!" ......"Ah Ting, look at this ......" Li Ruotong was a little undecided.
"Don't be afraid, I'll solve it." Chen Xuanting saw that this group of people was not good, so he protected Li Ruotong and said.
"You solve itβthen pay for it!" The ruffian at the head said.
"How much do you get for a bottle of wine?" Chen Xuanting asked as he flipped through his wallet.
The ruffian's eyes rolled, "No matter how you say it, you have to - 10,000, not 30,000!" And the mental damage fee of several of our brothers! β
"yes, that bottle burst just now, and I almost had a heart attack!"
"Yes, I want to accompany 30,000!"
"If you don't lose money, don't think about going out today!" β¦β¦ This group of people clearly regarded Chen Xuanting as a Kaizi.
Chen Xuanting smiled and said, "Thirty thousand is not muchβbut I won't give you one!" β
The ruffians who were originally ecstatic were stunned for a moment, "What, don't give any of them?!" β
"Looking for you, aren't you?"
"Looks like you're tired of it!"
"Beat him!"
"Flatten him!" β¦β¦ The ruffians shouted, causing the rest of the customers to flee.
Chen Xuanting looked at this group of inward-looking guys coldly, and took out his mobile phone.
"What are you going to do?" The sharp-eyed riffraff asked.
"Of course it's the police!" Chen Xuanting sneered.
"Want to call the police? Looking for death? β
"yes, you can't let him call the police!"
"Take his phone away!"
β¦β¦ Seeing that these ruffians were about to make a move, Li Jiawei, who had been ready to act as a hero, suddenly appeared and said righteously: "Stop! You guys! Is there any royal law? β
When the ruffians saw that it was him, they said to him, "Who are you?" What are you yelling here? β
Li Jiawei said proudly: "I don't know each other? Blind your dogs! β
Saying that, Li Jiawei flattered Li Ruotong and said, "Ah Tong, don't be afraid, I'll save you!" β
"Li Jiawei? Why are you here? Li Ruotong said curiously.
Li Jiawei said: "I care about you, I know that you like to come here to eat noodles, so I stopped by to take a look, I can't imagine that these people are simply lawless!" But you don't have to be afraid, Ah Tong, I know the big guys of these people, I will protect you! Saying that, Li Jiawei stood in front of her and said, "Listen, you guys, don't make trouble here again, or I will tell your boss to kill the king!" β
"Do you know our boss?"
"Of course!" Li Jiawei said angrily, "I, the eldest young master of Li, have drunk a few times with your big guy killing king!" β
The head ruffian: "Since we are friends with the big guy, we have to give you face, forget about this woman--but this man-" glanced at Chen Xuanting with bad intentions.
Li Jiawei's heart blossomed with joy, and he said in his heart, it's good for you to kill him, the worse the beating, the more money I pay, and sighed on his mouth: "That's no way, I, Mr. Chen Xuanting, really don't have any contact, you can do it at will, but you must be merciful!" β
Chen Xuanting looked at his playful face, and only felt disgusted, but it was not his wish to do it with these little ruffians.
So Chen Xuanting smiled and said: "It turns out that you also talk about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, as long as you recognize your big guy, you can stop it, right?" β
Ruffian: "What do you mean by that?" β
Chen Xuanting: "It means that I also know a few friends in Hong Kong!" β
Ruffian: "You know people too?" Who are you fooling! β
Syllable! Chen Xuanting slapped him directly.
The ruffian was stunned for a moment.
Chen Xuanting: "Call your big guy over!" β
Plankton: "Do, do what?" β
Syllable! Chen Xuanting slapped him again.
The ruffians were beaten stupid. I didn't dare to resist.
Chen Xuanting: "You are a little brother, why do you talk so much nonsense?!" β
The head of the ruffian saw that Chen Xuanting was extraordinary, and he was confused by the two slaps, and he was a little soft, does he really know our boss?!
Nali Jiawei was also stunned, and said in his heart, this Chen Xuanting is looking for death, I know the temper of the murder king, since you want to die, the eldest young master will fulfill you!
So he said: "That's right, maybe this Mr. Chen and your boss are old acquaintances?" β
The ruffian didn't dare to refuse anymore, so he directly made a call to the big guy Killer King.
The murderous king was playing mahjong, and his luck was smooth, and when he suddenly received a call, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and scolded a few words on the phone! Then I drove to the noodle restaurant.
"Who is dying, calling me over! Do you know how smooth my hand style is when I play eight laps?! The murderous king walked in viciously, arrogant.
Li Jiawei was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and said with a smile: "Of course it's this Mr. Chen Xuanting!" β
The Killer King looked directly at Chen Xuanting, and suddenly felt that his face was familiar.
Chen Xuanting looked at him and said in his heart, coincidentally, isn't this the black boss he met when he raced the car? It turns out that he is called the King of Murder, and his reputation is quite bullish.
Li Jiawei looked at the Murder King standing motionless, just looking at Chen Xuanting stupidly, thinking that he was stupid by Chen Xuanting, so he fanned the flames and said: "This person is not familiar with me, don't be polite to me, deal with it as you want!" β
The Murder King came back to his senses, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say, and he picked up his mouth and gave Li Jiawei a look!
Li Jiawei was beaten and turned around twice, and then he stabilized, and when he wiped his mouth, he actually bleed.
"The King of Killing. You are crazy?! Li Jiawei said in disbelief.
"You're crazy!" The killer gave him a slap in the face.
Li Jiawei covered his face and froze, "You hit me?" β
"Not only did I beat you, I kicked you!" The king of murder did not give this "good brother" a good look at all, and kicked it over.
Li Jiawei hurriedly dodged, but he was still kicked, and one of them almost fell to the ground. He was completely confused, what the hell was going on?!
The murder king is also a last resort, you must know that Sasaki and Macau Elder Broken Tooth were sent to prison by this person, I heard that every time it is too hard to do. What's more, Chen Xuanting's good brother Lei Yaoyang has established a new society, Dongxing, and the development of its power is eye-popping. How dare you fight with others?
Chen Xuanting saw that this murderous king was very aware of current affairs, and he didn't want to bother with them anymore, so he waved his hand to signal them to leave.
The King of Murder hurried away like an amnesty.
Chen Xuanting was about to turn around and talk to Li Ruotong when suddenly his mobile phone rang.
Chen Xuanting answered the phone, and his face changed in an instant.
Stand still.
Li Ruotong saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
Chen Xuanting said to her: "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to go first!" β
Without waiting for Li Ruotong to answer, Chen Xuanting had already rushed away.
Seeing that Chen Xuanting, who had always been calm and calm, had become so flustered, Li Ruotong seemed to feel that something was not right.
Is something big going on?!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ The door of the Thunder Pictures Company established by Chen Xuanting.
The experience of several banks squeezed the scalp and shouted, "We want to see Mr. Chen Xuanting!" "We hope Mr. Chen can give me an explanation!" "We're going to get back the money we lent!" β¦β¦ Everyone shouted, causing the whole company to be in a mess.
"Everyone, please calm down first!" As one of the shareholders, Stephen Chow was overwhelmed by these people.
Originally, he had already arranged for Cheng Cheng to film today, but he was called to inform him that the bank was coming to collect debts.
You must know that the two major dramas of Thunder Pictures recently, "Undefeated in the East" and "Across the Seas", are both big productions, if there is a problem with the company's capital chain, then the filming must be stopped, which will not only bring economic losses to the company, but also bring extremely bad impacts.
"Calm down, everyone!" Stephen Chow said, "I don't know if you have heard about our Thunder Pictures has a debt crisis, I can use my credibility to assure you that our Thunder is absolutely fine, please believe me!" β
"Mr. Zhou, it's not that we don't believe you, we are also responsible for the company, if you really have no problem, then please repay the loan!" Said a bank manager.
"Yes, Mr. Chen Xuanting hasn't shown up yet, we doubt your integrity!" Said another bank manager.
Stephen Chow had a headache, and in the face of these philistine guys, he felt that it was even more difficult than filming.
Just when everyone was yelling, a voice said, "Who said I didn't show up?" β
Everyone was stunned, and with the sound of words, they saw Chen Xuanting striding out of it.
The bank managers were stunned. Stephen Chow was also stunned. He didn't know where Chen Xuanting came from.
As soon as they saw Chen Xuanting come out, those managers immediately left Stephen Chow and surrounded Chen Xuanting.
"Mr. Chen, you came just in time, our loan-!"
Unable to finish their words, Chen Xuanting said first: "We have signed a contract for the loan, and now you come to ask for it before it expires, is it not in accordance with the rules?" β
"Mr. Chen, it's not that we don't talk about credit, the problem is that there is a problem with your financial situation-"
Chen Xuanting stuck their words again, "Who told you that there is a problem with our funds?" β
Those managers were choked by Chen Xuanting and said, "We all listen to what others say!" β
Chen Xuanting sneered: "I thought you were all shrewd people, but I didn't expect to do such a damaging thing because of a few rumors!" β
"We have no choice but to do it!"
"Yes, if there is a real problem with the loan, we will be jointly and severally liable!"
"It's a big deal, we don't want this month's interest - please think about it!"
β¦β¦ Chen Xuanting scratched his eyebrows with his tail finger and said, "Okay, since you have made a decision, I won't force it anymore!" -- I will never object to any of you who want to withdraw the loan, but when it comes to the ugly words, if any of you come to me with a cheeky face in the future, I, Chen Xuanting, will not be so easy to talk to! β
Chen Xuanting said such ruthlessly, a few managers hesitated, after all, the biggest profit of the bank comes from commercial lending, if he misses the opportunity this time, and the thunder really develops in the future, it will be a big loss because of a small loss.
That being said, there are a few more conservative bank managers who still demand repayment of the loans. Chen Xuanting didn't say a word, and let the finance settle the accounts directly.
Stephen Chow approached him and asked, "Where did you get the money?" β
Chen Xuanting said: "I borrowed it from Li Zhaotai!" β
Stephen Chow knew the relationship between Chen Xuanting and Li Zhaotai nodded and stopped talking.
At this point, this turmoil is over.
Now Chen Xuanting needs to pay attention to the arrival of Christmas in the West on December 25, and in 1991, for the Soviet Union, it was not just Christmas. As time progressed, the time came to December 25, 1991, which was a moment of attention from all over the world. General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the only president in the history of the USSR, Shushu.com Gorbachev announced his resignation and handed over state power to the Russian president. The next day, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR adopted a final resolution declaring the cessation of the existence of the Soviet Union. From then on, the Soviet Union officially collapsed.
At 19:32 on December 25, 1991, the red flag landed from the Kremlin! Since then, the United States has been the only superpower left in the world for the time being.
Actually, since the August 19 incident. In addition to Lithuania and Georgia, the two republics of the Soviet Union, which had declared their reading power early, other republics also announced their reading power to the outside world. In August, in particular, in one month, nine countries were able to leave the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Although January 25 is said to have a symbolic surname, the collapse of the socialist camp in the Soviet Union had become irreversible long before the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the collapse was only a matter of time. Of course, if the situation in the Soviet Union can be truly seen thoroughly, I am afraid that Chen Xuanting is the only one in this world.
Yenching time began on the afternoon of December 24, 1991. Until the afternoon of December 25, when people in most Western countries were spending Christmas Eve and Christmas in their own way, Chen Xuanting had many phone calls with the financial investment group he organized.
Although at the most critical moment, this bandit group, a financial group with the mission of looting the wealth of the Soviet Union, was very busy, but it was precisely because it was the most critical moment that Chen Xuanting could not let go of any detail lightly. In addition, Chen Xuanting also needed instant news from the Soviet Union from this investment group.
In addition to paying attention to the situation in the Soviet Union, Chen Xuanting still took the time to go to the hospital that day to visit Li Zhaotai, who was admitted to Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital due to a recurrence of heart disease. After all, people have lent themselves money to get through a difficult time.
Chen Xuanting knows. In the mainland, especially at this time, not many people even know about it. Not to mention any festivals. But in Hong Kong, Christmas is a big festival. When you go to visit someone who has been spending Christmas all the time, Christmas gifts are indispensable. However, Chen Xuanting really has no experience in this area, what is appropriate to send and what is not appropriate, he has no spectrum in his heart.
Besides, as a well-known tycoon in Hong Kong, Li Zhaotai lacks nothing at home, although this help is just a gesture, but after all, he still helped himself, how can he visit the patient on Christmas empty-handed? However, Chen Xuanting, who has always been indifferent, doesn't care too much about these. And giving gifts may not make the other person feel the Christmas spirit. How to say that Chen Xuanting is also a person who often runs around, and he is thoughtful, and he still knows some ways to celebrate Christmas in the West.
So, before running to the hospital. Chen Xuanting is going to make a special trip to the antique shops in Hong Kong, and he asks for a special gift to return to Lee Siu Tai's help.
But because he doesn't know much about antiques, Chen Xuanting pulled a friend who has a super research on this industry - Leslie Cheung!
Many celebrities in Hong Kong have their own special habits, such as the eldest brother Jackie Chan likes to eat things, especially likes to collect all kinds of antique wine. Aaron Kwok loves to collect cars, from vintage cars to limited-edition Ferraris. And Leslie Cheung also has his own hobbies, that is, he likes to collect vases and jade, and he usually likes to collect Ming Dynasty furniture.
Whether it is "Ah Fei" in "The True Story of A Fei", the policeman in "The True Color of Heroes", or "Ning Caichen" in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Leslie Cheung is already a symbol of his handsome and chic image. At the same time, his preferences in life are all literary crepes.
Leslie Cheung once said to Chen Xuanting: "I have a lot of hobbies, and I like to collect ancient furniture at present. When I was filming "The True Color of Heroes", I became good friends with my eldest brother Dillon, he loved to write calligraphy and buy antique furniture, and we both had some common hobbies. When I go to auctions, I pay more attention to antique furniture. β
In this regard, Leslie Cheung's friend Wang Zuxian also corroborated it: "He is 11 years older than me, but he is as mature as my father, and he also let me do everything when filming "A Chinese Ghost Story". His interest is very contagious, and he likes calligraphy and painting during the break from acting, and I also learn from it; In recent years, he likes to collect ancient furniture, so I accompanied him to buy it, and I saw that his house in Tsim Sha Tsui used Ming Dynasty furniture. β
Antiques have different materials, and Leslie Cheung has a soft spot for pineapple wood. "The rosewood is so luxurious, and I like rosewood because it takes a hundred years, or even longer, to mature. The Ming-style furniture made with it has both historical and technological surnames, the most atmospheric and the most concise. It's just that now it's draining, and it's a shame. So he did his part to preserve cultural heritage by collecting. Now the Ming Dynasty furniture at home is difficult to accommodate even the specially prepared warehouse.
Leslie Cheung's enthusiasm is also manifested in his love for the statue of Guan Gong, once he said to a temple staff: "I like this statue of Guan Gong, can I cut my love?" After negotiations, he succeeded. Not only that, but he also looked at the thatched house, and also welcomed the statue of Guan Gong in other people's stores home.
Leslie Cheung smiled and said, some people silently appreciate, he is appreciative and hope to have, there are antique furniture at home, there are also a number of statues of Guan Gong, he even set up a small museum in his villa, specializing in treasures, a while ago, he went to Taiwan, a Guanyin in the photo, everyone said that Guanyin has a flaw, it turned out, there is a black spot on the chin, but in his eyes, it is a "beauty mole", Leslie Cheung said: "Guanyin has a beauty mole, I have not seen it." "His perspective of appreciation is really different from that of ordinary people.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Xuanting took him to the antique store to choose a gift.
