Chapter Seventy-Two: The Mysterious Master
"I just happened to know!" The middle-aged man smiled slightly, even a blind person could see how serious it was. Xiao Ran smiled bitterly, people didn't want to say it, could he still hold down people's heads and force him to say it? I'm afraid I'll break my hand before I get close.
"Since you're making movies, why don't you have your own power?" The middle-aged man was also very curious, and he was also a little confused: "Other companies have martial artists, which can also make people on the road daunting." ”
"How can it be so easy, most of the people in the gym are on the road, and most of the other martial artists are also controlled by Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest. For a small company like Phantom, it's hard to get involved with them without enough connections! What Xiao Ran said is the truth, martial artists are generally the strength of each film company, and they are not necessarily willing to let people go.
It's not that you can't spend money to pry it, it's just that I'm afraid that it will provoke public anger. Xiao Ran has always considered that he should use Hong Kong as a film base and use it as a springboard to win Hollywood. Therefore, the local relationship must be harmonious, otherwise why would Xiao Ran try his best to know more insiders in the past two years, and deliberately pry into the corners of other companies, which is easy to offend.
"Now can you tell me who you are?" Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, and once again made sure that he was definitely not suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and then asked, "I believe we haven't met, why do you want to help me?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled happily, only to see him blink his eyes in amusement: "Before answering you, I want to ask you a question." If you saw a seriously injured person lying on the side of the road, would you save him and why? ”
Wouldn't such a question be too rare! Xiao Ran had a strange feeling, this scene seemed to have been encountered somewhere. After thinking about it, he gave the middle-aged man an answer: "I don't know, I think if I'm in a good mood, maybe I'll save him!" ”
"Wait......" Xiao Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted violently: "I know who you are, the one who was injured on the side of the road that day!" ”
The middle-aged man nodded appreciatively, the reason why he asked Fang Cai's question was mainly to test Xiao Ran's surname, but he didn't expect Xiao Ran to recognize him like this: "That's right, it was me who you saved that day." So, now you know why I'm helping you, right? ”
After introducing himself, Xiao Ran knew that this middle-aged man was called Guan Xin, and when he heard this name, he immediately smiled. Guan Xin also looked helpless: "No way, everyone hears this name like this, I'm used to it!" ”
"What the hell do you do, how can you knock out three people at once?" Xiao Ran was extremely curious about this question, and this curiosity was simply inflated.
"I'm a bodyguard and I'm unemployed!" Guan Xin stared at Xiao Ran very seriously and told him the answer. It's just that Xiao Ran obviously saw that there was a meaning in his eyes that he didn't want to continue to ask.
Bodyguard? I don't believe that Xiao Ran is killed, even Zhongnanhai's bodyguards may not have such skills, at least he thinks so. However, according to Ni Kuang's old man's novel, Guan Xin is quite like an alien. But Xiao Ran really didn't like Brother Ni's thoughts, so Guan Xin's identity became a mysterious question mark that he always hung in his heart in the future.
However, at present, Xiao Ran didn't realize how much pain Brother Guan would bring to his thinking, he was thinking, since this Guan Xin could find out what happened to him two or three years ago, he was naturally not an ordinary person. If it's the police, it's possible, at least it's relatively reasonable.
But Guan Xin went to Xinhua News Agency that night, so he shouldn't be a policeman. Thinking about it, Xiao Ran only came to one conclusion: Guan Xin is not an ordinary person. His conclusion is actually no different from nonsense, and fools know that the person who can knock down three people is by no means an ordinary person.
However, Guan Xin saw Xiao Ran's deep thinking expression, and couldn't help but start worrying about whether his identity would be guessed by Xiao Ran. In fact, Xiao Ran contacted the Hong Kong Xinhua News Agency and came up with an answer, but he resolutely did not believe that there was such a coincidence in this world.
In a flash of inspiration, it was Guan Xin's turn, he thought that now that he has no "job" and still needs an identity, it is better to be a bodyguard for Xiao Ran first, and it looks like Xiao Ran still needs a bodyguard very much. Thinking of him, he smiled and said to Xiao Ran: "Are you interested in hiring a bodyguard?" Very cheap, package you don't suffer. In addition to protecting the safety of my life, I am also responsible for expelling the underworld, so I am afraid that you will not be able to find such a cheap thing. ”
Xiao Ran's eyes widened, such a character, even if he has an annual salary of one million, he is willing to stay. At this moment, he is naturally full of promises, and he can't wait to sign a contract for a hundred years immediately.
In the following conversation, Xiao Ran roughly figured out why he was injured that night from Guan Xin's mouth, it is said that Guan Xin ran into his former enemy, and was injured after being besieged. Xiao Ran doesn't believe it, absolutely doesn't believe it, but this can only be stopped.
Back in the company, Xiao Ran proudly announced to Wei Dongling that Guan Xin was his personal bodyguard, and Wei Dongling's jealous appearance was needless to say. However, something that made him depressed was about to happen.
Wei Dongling bowed to Guan Xin with great respect, and said solemnly: "Mr. Guan, please teach me kung fu!" I won't mention the money, I believe that a master like you doesn't care about this little money! ”
Guan Xin was stunned, Xiao Ran was even more stunned, he didn't expect to be preempted by Wei Dongling. So, he said without lagging behind: "I want to learn kung fu, Lao Guan, don't forget, now I am your boss, you have to do things according to me!" ”
Now it was Wei Dongling's turn to be depressed, but soon they were just as depressed. Because Guan Xin hesitated for a moment, thinking that his fighting skills were not suitable for teaching these two ordinary people at all, he had to politely refuse: "My kung fu is too lethal, not suitable for you." It's better to do this, I can help you invite a master from the mainland, who is definitely a master. ”
Lethality? This is so wonderful, Xiao Ran is really afraid to learn those fancy shows. didn't say anything at the moment, turned over and bowed to the ground and shouted Master, the level of respect made Wei Dongling feel a chill, he felt that no matter how he looked at this scene, it looked like a clone of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that he had just watched some time ago, but it was just missing the sentence "Dominate the rivers and lakes for thousands of years".
"Do you really want to learn?" Guan Xin was still hesitating, in fact, he didn't have much to teach, he only needed to teach some simple fighting skills: "It's very hard!" ”
Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling nodded solemnly and resolutely as if facing an underground party that was tortured. Just kidding, whoever doesn't want to learn kung fu that is sharper than Bruce Lee must be a hypocrite. Finally, Guan Xin sighed: "Okay, I can consider teaching you, if you can really endure hardship!" ”
The next day, Xiao Ran received a mysterious phone call, which was actually not mysterious, and he could hear that it was the voice of the scar as soon as he heard it. Scar said that he had something to tell Xiao Ran, and accompanied by Guan Xin, Xiao Ran came to a tea restaurant designated by Scar. As soon as he entered, Guan Xin looked left and right and nodded to Xiao Ran, indicating that there was no ambush.
Xiao Ran smiled with satisfaction, he had seen Scar's performance yesterday and thought that this was a role that could be co-opted. Soon found Scar and sat down together, Scar had a plaster cast on his hand, and glanced at Guan Xin in fear, then hesitantly said: "Boss Xiao, yesterday the brothers were ignorant, please forgive me." ”
"If you're here for this, then I can go back, because I've never seen it in my eyes!" Xiao Ran is determined to try to use a high profile when facing the underworld in the future, so as to create psychological pressure on the other party.
Scar was anxious, and hurriedly whispered: "Actually, I called Boss Xiao today, mainly because Brother Mao and I admired your straightforwardness yesterday, so Brother Mao and I decided to tell you something." In fact, we Lianshengying don't dare to charge so much money, otherwise it will be a broken rule. ”
"But Brother Cat asked me to tell you that the reason why I want to charge you 200,000 this time is because you offended a big person." Speaking of this, Scar no longer hesitated, and poured out all the words: "That person has a deep friendship with our Lian Shengying's eldest brother, so he deliberately wants to play with you." ”
Xiao Ran and Guan Xin glanced at each other, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Who is that person and what is his identity?" ”
"I don't know about this, and Brother Cat doesn't know either." Scar shook his head, then added, "However, Brother Cat guessed that person was from Taiwan." Because we have always had business with some small and medium-sized gangs in Taiwan, and it is said that some of these relationships were introduced by a Taiwanese. Therefore, Brother Mao said that maybe only the Taiwanese have so much face for the big brother to break the rules on the road! ”
Taiwanese...... It has something to do with the underworld...... It seems that the target is very wide, but Xiao Ran quickly guessed a suspect - Wang Yang. He has always been a kind person, and he hasn't offended anyone at all, if he has to say that he has offended anyone, then maybe there is only Wang Yu, who is friend or foe, and Wang Yang, who must be an enemy.
Nodding, Xiao Ran took out the checkbook and wanted to write a check to Scar, but Scar saw it and quickly shook the only hand he could move: "Boss Xiao, don't do this, you saved us enough face yesterday and left such a large sum of money, we are already very grateful to you!" ”
Xiao Ran nodded, he admired this scar a little, but he felt that the momentum of the scar was a little weaker, otherwise he would not have been so easy to take away his mind. When Scar got up and wanted to leave, he suddenly turned around and told Xiao Ran: "Boss Xiao, listen to Brother Mao, the eldest brother is very annoyed, maybe he has to find someone to deal with you these days, you have to be careful!" ”
"Wait!" Xiao Ran stood up and pulled Scar to sit down, and asked kindly, "What's your name?" Are you interested in making money with me! ”
"My name is Mangui, but everyone calls me Scar!" It's not that Scar doesn't have this intention, but he is hesitating: "Thank you Boss Xiao for your appreciation, but I'm in Lianshengying, if I pass the gear casually, I'm afraid that I won't be able to look at everyone on the road." ”
Xiao Ran and Guan Xin both laughed, he didn't want Scar to follow him, there was such a person with a scar on his face, which directly affected his image: "I mean, you continue to stay in Lianshengying, it's just that you can just listen to my instructions in the future to do things." Of course, money, earn and spend together. ”
Scar thought about it, and quickly calculated that this would not hurt him, and besides, he was already quite obedient to Xiao Ran. At that moment, he smiled and agreed: "Thank you Boss Xiao for your appreciation, I am willing to work with you!" ”
