Li Xuan thought that Zhou Xingchi would take him to a dilapidated housing estate, but he didn't expect that the end point would be an overcrowded Temple Street.

Looking at the bustling flow of people, Li Xuan asked in disbelief, "Where is your home?" ”

"Yes, Brother Xuan, let's go in!" Zhou Xingchi glanced at Li Xuan strangely and said. Is there anything strange about living on Temple Street?

It turned out that he used to live so close to Zhou Xingchi! Li Xuan nodded with a secret smile and said, "Well, you lead the way." ”

Zhou Xingchi responded, took the lead and walked towards the temple street.

"Ah Xing, you still dare to come back, your mother said she was going to whip you."

"Fifth aunt, when did my mother not say that."

"Ah Xing, run quickly, otherwise your butt will be swollen again."

"It wasn't swollen last time, and you didn't see it."

"You hit the street, and you left your grandmother and ran away."

"Sister Shan, I'm not coming back."

"Yo, Ah Xing, my Ali is waiting for you to get ......"

As soon as the two entered Temple Street, the seven aunts and eight aunts who were setting up stalls on the side of the road laughed and bombarded Zhou Xingchi indiscriminately, and this guy did not show weakness, and fought back when he opened his mouth. It seems that Zhou Xingchi is not too wooden.

After a short time, the two came to a stall selling nail clippers. The stall owner is an elderly woman who is setting up nail clippers with a teenage girl who looks like her granddaughter.

"What do you two buy? We have ...... here" The little girl's eyes were better, and she swept to the front of the stall and stood on two pairs of feet, and quickly raised her head to greet business. It's a pity that as soon as she said half a sentence, she was like a duck being choked by the neck, and her face turned red in an instant.

"Brother, where did you run this day? Do you know that grandma is alone at home and worried about dying? The little girl shouted at Zhou Xingchi, and her mouth pouted because of anger.

It seems that this is Zhou Xingchi's sister and grandmother. Moreover, Zhou Xingchi didn't seem to have told his family about working in his company, and Li Xuan, who was standing aside, thought to himself.

"Aha, didn't I go out and look for a job?" Zhou Xingchi scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.

"Huh, work? Which of your jobs has been done for a long time, it's not ......"

"Oh, okay. Ah Xia, don't talk about it when your brother comes back. Grandma Zhou only reacted now, and staggered up to Zhou Xingchi and asked, "Xingzai, have you eaten dinner?" ”

"No, but grandma ......" Zhou Xingchi said with a serious face: "I really got a job." As he spoke, this guy pointed at Li Xuan and continued: "No, my boss is here." ”

"Huh? Job? Boss? Next week, Grandma and Zhou Xiaomei noticed Li Xuan, who they had been ignoring.

"That, Grandma Zhou is good, little sister is good. I am Li Xuan, the owner of Xuanyuan Film Company, and I took the liberty to disturb me this time. Li Xuan nodded hurriedly and introduced himself.

A film company? Boss? Grandma Zhou and Little Sister Zhou glanced at each other. In the end, Grandma Zhou cautiously asked, "I don't know what Boss Li is looking for us?" ”

"Oh, that's the case...... Li Xuan took out the contract from the briefcase he was carrying and said: "Because Ah Xing is only seventeen years old, this brokerage contract has to be signed by a guardian, you see......"

"Contract? Sign? Grandma Zhou waved her hand, and then replied: "I have to find his mother for this, my old woman can't be the master." ”

"Eh, I don't know where Mother Zhou is now?"

"Xingzi knows, Xingzi! Don't take Mr. Li Xuan with you soon. Grandma Zhou hurriedly gestured.

In less than ten minutes, Li Xuan, Zhou Xingchi and Zhou Xingchi's mother Lin Baoer were sitting in a restaurant called "Yi Hutchi", and Zhou's mother was the cashier of this restaurant.

"Mr. Li, the rest is fine, but isn't the five-year period a little too long?" Zhou's mother put down the contract in her hand and asked. She also agreed that Zhou Xingchi would go out to find a safe and stable job, after all, Zhou Xingchi's studies were not very good. And she divorced Zhou's father a long time ago, and her three children were raised by her, and she was too tired to work several jobs every day. It would be a good thing if it could really ease some of the burden on the family.

"Hehe, Sister Lin, no matter how short it is, it can only be three years, but ......" Li Xuan paused and continued: "But that's all the years of second-tier stars." A newcomer like Ah Xing, who doesn't understand anything and doesn't have a little fame, five years is very short. Sister Lin has been in Hong Kong for so many years, she should also know how the newcomers of Shaw Brothers are, the lowest is an eight-year contract. ”

It turned out that Lin Baoer was a native of Canton and East, and in 1957, when the mainland was rectifying the wind and moving far away, her father was arrested, and she and her mother fled to Hong Kong because they couldn't survive. At that time, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry was developing rapidly, but it was not easy for new immigrants to find a job. After coming to Hong Kong, Lin Baoer had no money to study, so she soon married an immigrant from Shanghai, who lived in a poor area of Kowloon, gave birth to two daughters and a son, and lived a poor life. A family of five huddled into a cramped wooden room, sleeping on a "bunk bed" shelf bed, and regarded soy sauce and rice as a delicacy in the world.

But Zhou Xingchi's parents always had different surnames, and the two often quarreled and even fought. Lin Baoer is a lover with a surname, and finally divorced her husband, and the custody of the children also belonged to Lin Baoer. Since then, she has moved to Temple Street to raise her three children with her mother.

As for the issue of only signing an economic contract for five years, Li Xuan is also very distressed, this is Zhou Xingchi! It would be best if I could sign him for decades. It's a pity that he doesn't have the confidence of Shaw Brothers, and a small film company like him is already very good to sign a newcomer for five years.

No matter how much time there is, others have to wonder if he is going to do something bad.

"Okay, I'll sign it, but I hope Mr. Li can take our family Ah Xing to heart." Zhou's mother thought for a while and said helplessly, grabbed the pen next to her and signed her name on the contract.

"This Sister Lin can rest assured!" Li Xuan picked up the signed contract and looked at it, then patted Zhou Xingchi next to him on the shoulder and said, "Ah Xing, I am very optimistic, otherwise I wouldn't have come to sign the contract in person." ”

After signing the contract, Li Xuan also left. After all, it was dinner time, and the restaurant was very busy, and Zhou Xingchi also followed Li Xuan out.

"Ah Xing, where is Wei Zai's home?" Li Xuan looked at the surrounding houses and asked casually.

"Wei Zai, on Wusong Street over there, it's very close, and that row of houses is in the past." Zhou Xingchi pointed to a row of houses in the distance and said, "But his family is probably not in charge now." ”

"Who's in charge?"

"Yes, Aunt Liang also worked several jobs, and Wei Zai is probably still delivering newspapers."

"Oh......"

Li Xuan nodded, and then remembered that Tony Leung is still a newspaper delivery worker. muttered in his heart, Li Xuan gave up the matter of going to Liang Chaowei now, let's wait for a while.

"Does Brother Xuan want to sign Wei Zai?" But Li Xuan didn't want to look for it, so Zhou Xingchi asked.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded unabashedly.

"Then I'll talk to Wei Zai in the next few days." Zhou Xingchi thought for a while and said.

"Haha!" Li Xuan patted Zhou Xingchi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Ah Xing is good, when the time comes, Wei Zai will also be signed, and you will be the second general of the company!" ”
