Chapter 725: The Resentment Society
A week has passed, and Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia have not returned from Lantau Island, as if they are going to live there for a long time.
At first, Xu Guanwu was not used to living without them for two or three days, but after a week, he had already begun to adapt to this single life.
Although he is single, in fact, there has been no one in the villa. Xu Guanwu was nominally retired, so he did not return to the headquarters of the Xu Group, but asked someone to bring the job to the villa to him. After being so busy with work, the sorrow of being separated suddenly subsided a lot.
Although the Xu Group is no longer at the helm of the company, the current operation is still steady and progressive, such as Hui's Pictures, TVB, Tiantian Bao, Yisheng Records, Xu's Supermarket, etc. have been well developed, and the estimated market value of Xu's Group has exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, compared with the traditional four major foreign companies Hutchison Whampoa, Swire, Jardine Matheson and Wheelock are almost the same.
The Hui family has now become the most famous family in Hong Kong, although it has only been a decade since its rise, compared to the history of those families of more than 100 years, but no one can underestimate the potential of the Hui family. Even if people say that he is an upstart, mud legs. But in his heart, he still sees it as a representative of Hong Kong's emerging wealthy.
Seeing that Xu's Group is developing so smoothly now, Xu Guanwu is also very happy. If Hui's is prosperous, Hong Kong will be prosperous, and if Hui's is prosperous, the mainland will be prosperous. Today, Xu Guanwu plans to increase investment in the hinterland, not only in Shenzhen, but also in coastal cities, such as Shanghai, Shantou, and Shantou. Ning/Wave and other places. The main investment project is infrastructure construction. Such as building bridges and paving roads. urban redevelopment and so on.
These projects are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and they are a matter of merit and benefit the future generations, and the demand for investment is also huge. The interior has just begun reform and opening up, and the state treasury is actually not very rich, so it is necessary to carry out such a large project for the people's livelihood. Xu Guanwu's investment has greatly alleviated the government's difficulties and solved major problems.
And after building bridges and paving roads, and transforming the city. The investment environment has changed, and follow-up investment has followed. In Hong Kong, businessmen have an almost blind admiration for Mr. Hui, who flock to him when they see which direction he invests. For example, when the Shenzhen-Zhen Special Economic Zone was just established, not many Hong Kong businessmen dared to invest in the mainland.
Because they are afraid that the policy on the mainland will change overnight, if there is another Cultural Revolution, the money they invested will be wasted. Only Xu and some left-leaning businessmen actively entered the deep town, and in fact, Xu's invested hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at a time, which made these businessmen who were waiting and watching immediately have confidence.
"People are not afraid to invest hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, what is their hundreds of thousands, millions of investments?" Many Hong Kong businessmen cheered themselves up in their hearts. Their single investment is not as much as that of Hui's. However, at present, the number of Hong Kong businessmen who are investing is large, and so many funds have been gathered. It's pretty scary, too.
Sure enough, with the influx of investment from so many Hong Kong businessmen, the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone quickly transformed from a poor land of fish and rice into an advanced industrial city, with factories and workers gathering from all over the world, making Shenzhen transform from a small county with a population of just over 100,000 to a large city with a population of one million. And this is only the result of two years, which is also called the speed of the deep town, the myth of the special zone.
Seeing the rise of Shenzhen and the improvement of people's lives, Xu Guanwu was naturally very happy. But he also did not forget that there are still many cities in the interior that need to be invested, and that people are eager to improve their lives. That's why he plans to further expand his investment, and plans to gradually expand from coastal cities to the interior.
In fact, Xu Guanwu does not want to develop the mainland, but is mainly restricted by transportation, etc., which is not as convenient as loading and unloading goods in coastal cities. If the traffic in the mainland is slightly improved, he is actually very sincere in developing the mainland.
……
While Xu Guanwu was busy conceiving a blueprint for the future development of the Xu Group, Guan Zhilin was facing the crisis of being hidden by the TV station.
Because she disappeared for two days for no reason, she didn't ask for leave from the station, and her attitude was not proper when she came back, she still went her own way, and she didn't even apologize. So ATV decided to teach this newcomer a lesson, first hide her for a while, and then see how she performs. If she has the heart to repent, give her another chance. If it's still the same, then it's going to be hidden to the end.
Guan Zhilin has already figured out that she was hidden in the snow but didn't treat it as a big deal. is tired of filming in ATV, and his monthly income is only five or six thousand Hong Kong dollars. It's good for ordinary people, but for Guan Zhilin, that little money is not enough for her to buy a beautiful dress.
In addition to being invited by ATV and promising to give her very good treatment, she actually wanted to become famous through ATV, and then climb up to some dignitaries, celebrities and rich businessmen or something, and when the time comes, she will marry into a wealthy family and sigh the world, so she doesn't have to work hard by herself.
But after entering ATV, she realized how lonely ATV was. TVB's TV series are all filmed outside, but ATV still has to shoot TV series in the studio, the background is so real that it is dying, but the actors are made as realistic as possible. This is the real "drama".
Guan Zhilin still remembers the first time she filmed the snow-capped mountain scene, asking the actors to pretend to be shivering under the snow-capped mountain scene. But in fact, the temperature in the room was more than 30 degrees Celsius, she was wearing a leather robe and a leather hat, and the hot sweat almost soaked her clothes, and she had to pretend to be about to freeze to death. After taking off her leather jacket afterwards, Guan Zhilin found that her back was red spots.
After filming on ATV for a few months, Guan Zhilin still didn't feel red. She realized that TVB was the dominant company in Hong Kong, and ATV couldn't compete with TVB at all, and even Jiayi TV next door was difficult to compete.
Kwan Zhilin's self-esteemed works are actually not seen by many people in Hong Kong, and at most there are only about 100,000 people. And TVB's average program has more than one million viewers. Therefore, the artists who go out of TVB are all small stars. The stars who go out of ATV are all artists.
Knowing that she has no future in ATV, Guan Zhilin has long had the heart to leave, but she has never been able to find a good home. Although she is the daughter of the old actor Guan Shan. He also has certain connections in the film industry. But not every film company she wants to go to.
Dad Guan Shan also told her. An artist choosing the wrong company is worse than a woman marrying the wrong person. Because a woman can divorce again if she marries the wrong person, but if an artist chooses the wrong company, it will be delayed for a lifetime. Now is an early era of fame, Sister Hong Kong is elected once a year, and a large number of seventeen or eighteen-year-old beautiful girls are singled out every year.
Guan Zhilin is only eighteen or nineteen years old this year, which is the age of youth, and she has a lot to compete with these Hong Kong sister champions. But if you get into the wrong company. If you delay for three or five years, you will be in your twenties by then, and if you compete with your seventeen or eighteen-year-old sister at the starting line, you may not be able to outrun others.
So Guan Shan has been reminding Guan Zhilin that even if you want to change jobs, you have to choose a good company, and you can't just go out of Longtan and enter the tiger's den. Although Guan Zhilin has not dealt with him much because of her father's distraction, she also knows that what her father said is from the bottom of her heart, so she also keeps it firmly in her heart.
She knew she had made a mistake the first time she chose ATV, so she didn't allow herself to fall in the same place two more times. She must choose to change jobs this time. And Xu Guanwu's Xu family is undoubtedly the target she wants to jump ship. But how to jump is a problem.
It's been a week since I got back from Paris. Xu Guanwu never called her again, which made Guan Zhilin feel a deep sense of crisis. She thinks that she is beautiful enough, young enough, charming enough, seductive enough, and a peerless stunner who captivates the country and the city. A man should be a marrow eater, and he can't leave her for a moment.
But now it has been a week since the last time I saw Xu Guanwu, during which there was no meeting, no phone call, and no gifts, although Xu Guanwu gave a credit card and could still swipe it, and it was not stopped, but Guan Zhilin began to feel fear.
In the past week, although she is facing the crisis of being hidden, her life has not been affected, on the contrary, she is more comfortable than before. With a credit card in hand, she can walk around Central and buy all the things she likes. Clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, cosmetics...... Seeing Li Saifeng's envious and adoring eyes, Guan Zhilin felt that life was really beautiful.
But when she dressed up beautifully every day and looked forward to Xu Guanwu's phone call, that call never came again. At first, Guan Zhilin thought that when she went out shopping, she had called but no one answered, but then she stayed at home for two days, and still no one called.
Guan Zhilin began to panic, she didn't know what happened to Xu Guanwu, was she sick, her wife was watching closely, or there were other women outside?! Guan Zhilin wanted to call Xu Guanwu to ask, but after dialing the phone number, she put the phone on again. Xu Guanwu once told her not to call him again, he would call her if something happened.
"Ah, scoundrel! Why don't you call yet?! Guan Zhilin lay on the bed and shouted in a depressed voice.
……
Lantau Island, Po Lin Monastery, in the meditation room, Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia wore plain clothes, sitting on a futon and listening to the monks explain the Dharma.
"The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life. Life, old age, sickness, death, love and parting, resentment and hatred, unbelievable, five yin blazing. The living suffer, the old suffer, the sick suffer, the dead suffer, those who love and part, those who hate the society suffer, those who can't ask for it, and those who are full of five yin are suffering......" the monk explained.
"Master, what is the bitterness of resentment?" Zhao Yazhi asked.
"The word resentment is the heart being cut off. The word hatred is that the heart is pressed by the mountain. For those who have resentment and hatred, their hearts are like being cut by a sharp blade, and their hearts are painful; Tarzan was overwhelmed and couldn't breathe. The monk explained.
"Then how should the master's suffering be resolved?" Lin Qingxia asked.
"The Diamond Sutra has clouds, and everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, as if it is viewed." The monk said, "A hundred years of life is just a drop in the ocean compared to the long years of the world, and it will pass by in a hurry. It should be cherished and not overly resentful. ”
"But if you can't let go of this resentment, and you can't give up, what should you do?" Zhao Yazhi asked.
The monk smiled and handed over a box of pastries, "Please taste my homemade pastry." ”
The confectionery looks delicious.
Although Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia are not gluttonous people, they couldn't help but take a bite of each when they saw that the dim sum was so good-looking, but what they didn't expect was that such a good-looking dim sum turned out to be sour and bitter, which made their facial features a little distorted. Barely swallowing, the two of them didn't dare to eat any more, and put them all back on their plates.
"Donor, haven't you already put it down?" The monk said, "Since you know that resentment is suffering, why don't you let it go?" ”
Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia ignored a glance and nodded, "Thank you, Master." ”
"Amitabha!" The monk recited the Buddha's horn. (To be continued......)
