Chapter 2 The Mysterious Old Bean

When he came out of Hongfu Restaurant, Chen Ping'an only felt like a world away, and the scene in front of him was so unreal.

The matter at the airport was a complete misunderstanding, and this qiΔ“ had to start with the cheap old bean who suddenly appeared in front of him more than a month ago.

Chen Ping'an grew up in a single-parent family since he was a child, and his mother raised him alone, and he never knew who his father was. But more than a month ago, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of him, claiming to be his father, and also came up with a lot of evidence. For example, a photo with his mother, his mother's past, and the origin of his name.

Although the middle-aged man sincerely repented, apologized for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a father for so many years, and proposed to make up for his mistakes and take good care of Chen Ping'an in the future, Chen Ping'an refused without hesitation, and even didn't recognize the man. Because Chen Ping'an at that time was no longer Chen Ping'an, as the soul thirty years later, he had no feelings for his cheap old beans, and he was worried that the other party would expose his flaws.

However, the other party seemed to be sincerely remorseful, and learned that Chen Ping'an was going to return to Hong Kong for development, so he called his friend Xiang Huayan and asked him to take care of Chen Ping'an for himself. On the phone, Xiang Huayan heard about the matter between Chen Ping'an's father and son, and was worried that Chen Ping'an would not come to see him, so he told the dwarf cow to pick up the other party no matter what.

The dwarf cow didn't bend his mind and misinterpreted Xiang Huayan's meaning, and this was the scene where the airport forced him with a gun.

"Andy, the second uncle's subordinates are not doing well, which frightens you. Don't worry, the second uncle will teach this stupid thing a good lesson. ”

Recalling Xiang Huayan's words at that time, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little funny. His surprise was real, but it was not because he was frightened, but because he recognized the two people in the orchid hall - Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng! In the last life, as a director with a bright future, how could he not recognize this pair of bigwigs in the entertainment industry?

What surprised him even more was that his strong network of cheap old beans was actually close to Hong Kong's Xiangjia Xin'an Company, which made him have four more uncles when he first came to Hong Kong. And the two sides have a deep friendship, which can be seen from the gifts prepared for him by Xiang Hua Yan and the others.

The gift that the second uncle gave to Hua Yan was the night bar in Yau Ma Tei, which was the property of Xin'an Company, which was taken care of by Chen Ping'an, and the amount of money earned every month was his, and there was no need to pay the company.

Uncle Seven gave Hua Bo a Mercedes-Benz S and a big brother. said that Chen Ping'an came to Hong Kong to develop, which cannot be underestimated, and these two things are used to support the faΓ§ade.

Tenth uncle Xiang Huaqiang and uncle Xiang Huasheng heard Chen Ping'an say that he planned to make a movie when he returned to Hong Kong, but they didn't ask the script, and directly stated that Yongsheng Film Company was willing to invest and let Chen Ping'an direct his debut film.

The generous gifts made Chen Ping'an, who was strapped for money, feel like a poor child and a rich man, but he still declined the kindness of a few people. Because there were some things that he didn't want to get into too deeply. Of course, he will not use this as an excuse to refuse, but uses a very old-fashioned excuse - he wants to prove to his cheap old bean that he can still make a world with his hands!

But he also understands that sometimes asking for help is a means of bringing the two sides closer.

So he only accepted to send his big brother and Mercedes Benz S to Huabo. In addition, he asked Xiang Huayan to help him apply for a Hong Kong permanent resident identity card, and also asked Xiang Huasheng and Xiang Huaqiang to sort out a detailed information about the Hong Kong film industry for him.

In the end, Chen Ping'an declined Xiang Yanyan's invitation to eat and walked out of Hongfu Restaurant with the dwarf cow.

The original name of the dwarf cow was Niu Debiao, who was as powerful as a cow and had a reckless personality, and because he was too low, he got the nickname of the dwarf cow. Dwarf Niu is now Chen Ping'an's younger brother, and Xiang Huayan sent him to Chen Ping'an's side under the pretext that he offended Chen Ping'an and needed atonement, more to protect Chen Ping'an's safety in Hong Kong.

Chen Ping'an did not refuse. In other words, he mainly took a fancy to the dwarf cattle and was familiar with the boundaries of Hong Kong.

"Chen, they didn't treat you badly!" Shang Geyunton, who was brought to Chen Ping'an, asked loudly. Chen Ping'an entered Hongfu Restaurant just now and didn't come out for a long time, but he was worried.

"It's okay, it's okay, it was a misunderstanding. Come, let me introduce you. This is Niu Debiao, dwarf cow; He is Shang Geyundun, Lao Shang, and he will be his own person in the future, you know each other. ”

Although the dwarf bull has a crooked brain, it doesn't mean that he is stupid. He has already seen that his new boss Chen Ping'an's status is not low, and it is precisely because he offended Chen Ping'an that he was "assigned" to his side as a bodyguard and driver. And if he wants to return to Xin'an Company, he must first get Chen Ping'an's understanding.

"Mr. Chen, tonight we will eat, drink, and kill chickens, and I will be the east, and I will be the right cow to make amends for today's offense."

"Okay." Chen Ping'an is happy to see the nightlife in Hong Kong in the 80s, but before that he has one more thing to do, "Dwarf Niu, you can find a high-end apartment for me in the broadcast road, the price is easy to say, the key is to have good conditions." ”

"Don't worry, boss, it's wrapped up in the dwarf cow."

The efficiency of the dwarf cow is very high, or the power of the Xin'an company is very large, Chen Ping'an has not finished dinner, and the little brother of the dwarf cow found an apartment in the broadcast road Longxiang Garden.

After a few people finished eating, the dwarf cow drove Chen Ping'an and the monk to the radio station. When the three of them arrived at the apartment, the owner was already waiting inside. In addition to the owner of the house, there are also two younger brothers, who immediately greeted the dwarf cow when they saw it: "Brother Niu!" ”

The dwarf cow waved his hand: "Don't say hello to Mr. Chen yet." ”

"Hello Mr. Chen."

Chen Ping'an nodded and began to look at the apartment.

This apartment is in very good condition, nearly 1,000 square feet in size, newly renovated and elegant. There are carpets on the floor, TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and other daily household appliances are readily available, bed sheets and covers are all freshly changed, and the whole room is very clean.

"Not bad, not bad." Chen Ping'an was very satisfied with this apartment and asked the two younger brothers: "This is what you two found?" ”

The two younger brothers glanced at the dwarf cow, and after obtaining the latter's permission, they replied: "Back to Mr. Chen, it was our brothers who found it." ”

"Good." Chen Ping'an threw them two hundred Hong Kong dollars, "Your hard work." ”

"Mr. Xie Chen!"

In 84 years, the median monthly salary in Hong Kong was less than 2,000 yuan, and the hardship fee of 100 yuan was not a small amount.

Chen Ping'an wrote lightly: "It's nothing, I will never treat the people who do things for me." ”

The dwarf cow looked at Chen Ping'an with flickering eyes, and said secretly in his heart: Maybe following Mr. Chen can't be regarded as a match, right?

The two younger brothers left with a thousand thanks, Chen Ping'an sat in front of the owner and asked, "I like your house, let's make an offer." ”

The owner of the house had the intention to slaughter Chen Ping'an at a high price, but when he saw the size of the dwarf cow monk and the two gangster-like little brothers just now, he finally said honestly: "The location of Longxiang Yuan is very good, and there are high-end residential buildings around......

"Okay, okay, you just say the rent, do you think I look like a poor money?"

"Mr. Chen is so happy, I should make a friend. An apartment as big as mine in Longxiangyuan is at least two thousand, and I will charge you one thousand eight. ”

"How much?"

"One, one thousand eighteen...... Mr. Chen still thinks it's expensive? ”

It's not expensive, it's cheap!

Chen Ping'an inquired before coming, as the owner said, the rent of 2,000 is the market price. He was generous just now, rewarding the two younger brothers with a hundred hardship fees, in addition to the meaning of buying people's hearts, but also to make the owner think that he was a fat sheep, so that the lion opened his mouth.

He is a particular person, and the other party pays attention to him, and the other party does not pay attention to him. As long as the other party dares to open his mouth, he can let the dwarf cow come forward in a grand manner, and even scold and scare him to take this apartment at a very low rent.

But now the other party's offer is very particular......

"Count, I don't take advantage of you, two thousand is two thousand."

"Thank you Mr. Chen, thank you Mr. Chen, you are such a particular person."

When the two sides negotiated the price and were about to sign the contract, Shang Geyundun suddenly jumped out: "Wait a minute, Chen, you don't really plan to rent this house, right?" ”

"Questions?"

"Of course there's a problem!" Shang Geyundun rudely pushed away the landlord and stood in front of Chen Ping'an, "Chen, I don't think we need to rent such a big house. ”

In Shang Geyundun's view, the most important thing at the moment is to get money for filming. As for renting a room or something, just find a cheap room to sleep in. What's more, the Hong Kong dollar in Chen Ping'an's hand is now exchanged for his 3,000 US dollars, a total of more than 20,000 dollars, one cent less. And that's his money, he can't sit back and watch Chen Ping'an squander it like this. Even if Chen Ping'an would return it, he couldn't tolerate it.

Chen Ping'an was speechless. He didn't know that the rent of the apartment in the broadcasting channel was expensive, but no matter how expensive it was, he had to rent it, because the area of the broadcasting channel was called "Wutai Mountain". TVB, ATV, the defunct Jiayi TV, as well as Commercial Radio and Radio Television Hong Kong, are all in this area! The people who live nearby are either rich or expensive, and many celebrities in the film and television industry also live here.

The broadcast said that this potentially large number of network resources is very important to Chen Ping'an, who has not yet made a name for himself when he first arrives in Hong Kong, and the rent of 2,000 yuan is not worth mentioning.

"Lao Shang, don't talk too much when I do things. If you're not happy, I'll pay you back $5,000 now, and you can go back to Hollywood to do chores!" ”

Shang Geyun suddenly pursed his lips and stopped making a sound, stepped aside and looked at Chen Ping'an with a ...... gaze Hidden bitterness.

After signing the contract, Chen Ping'an finally had a place to settle down in Hong Kong. The dwarf cow invited Chen Ping'an to drink at the night bar to celebrate, which can be regarded as a celebration of Chen Ping'an's housewarming.

The three of them drove to the night bar, and Chen Ping'an also planned to indulge for one night, and tomorrow he should be busy with his career. When he passed by the TVB door, Chen Ping'an suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”

Before the dwarf cow's car stopped, Chen Ping'an jumped out of the car and ran quickly towards the back, blocking the way of a man and a woman.
