Chapter 661: Celebration Banquet

Xu Guanwu saw Wu Siyuan's longing look, as if he was looking forward to Xu Ke's miracle this time, but Xu Guanwu knew that the box office of "The First Type of Danger" was extremely miserable, and he wanted to remind Wu Siyuan, but after thinking about it, he didn't open his mouth.

After all, he and Wu Siyuan are just general friends, if now I swear that the film will not be a big hit, people choose to believe it, if they don't believe it, they insist on making this movie. If the box office is good, then you are ill-intentioned; If the box office is bad, then you will blame yourself for the crow's mouth.

And judging from Wu Siyuan's current friendship with Xu Guanwu, I'm afraid people don't choose to believe him so easily. So the result is that no matter what the box office of "Danger of the First Type" does in the future, it will be a nasty ending. Therefore, there is an ancient adage that "don't talk shallow and deep", if the relationship is not in place, sometimes it is a kind reminder, but it will also be misunderstood by others.

Just when Xu Guanwu and Wu Siyuan were chatting casually, the parade flower convoy had arrived at To Kwa Wan, and at this time, people joined the convoy one after another, such as several bosses of the Xu Group, Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanjie, Xu Guanying, etc., Jiahe, Shaw Brothers, etc. also sent people to congratulate one after another.

In addition, there were many passers-by on both sides of the team watching the excitement, and when passing by the office buildings along the way, those employees also opened their windows to look out at the excitement, which was really a lot of attention.

The team came all the way to Hung Hom, and the number of participants has reached 10,000 people, and it looks really mighty, like a long dragon. There are dense crowds of people in front of and on the left and right, surrounding the float and the dragon and lion dance team. At the beginning, the float can still move slowly. But as the number of people watching the excitement increased. Many people do not hesitate to run to the main road in order to grab a good position. As a result, as soon as there were too many people, it caused a big traffic jam.

Xu Guanwu looked at the black head on the front and back, left and right. couldn't help but be a little shocked, "President Ye, I don't think I can go to Causeway Bay today, let's let Cheng Long and them get out of the car and leave first, otherwise it won't be good to wait for a crowded stampede accident." ”

Ye Zhiming also nodded profusely, although he knew that Hong Jingbao, Cheng Long, Yuan Biao and others were popular. But I didn't expect it to be so outrageous, and the parade on the float would be blocked. However, the top priority is not to regret it, but to arrange for Cheng Long and them to leave as soon as possible.

Now people gather here mainly to watch Cheng Long and them come, and as soon as they get off the car and leave, people don't have to look at them, and they will naturally disperse.

Ye Zhiming quickly asked someone to cover Cheng Long, they got out of the car first, and then got out of the crowd under the cover of the staff and left, and with the help of the dragon and lion dance team, they also put away the guys, and the gongs and drums on the float were all stopped. Then Ye Zhiming stepped forward and shouted with a microphone, "Dear friends, because of safety considerations. This is the end of the parade of floats, causing trouble to everyone. I hope you will forgive me. Sorry, sorry. ”

When people heard him say this, they saw that Cheng Long and the others had disappeared, and they began to disperse in frustration.

Xu Guanwu let out a sigh of relief, so he didn't cause an accident. Ye Zhiming was also afraid for a while, he was the organizer of the event, if there was really a stampede, he would really be to blame. Losing money is still a trivial matter for him, and it will be troublesome if he goes to jail for it.

After the onlookers dispersed, the float drove everyone straight to the Regal Hotel. There is a celebration banquet at noon today, and peers can go to drink a glass of celebration wine.

……

After Xu Guanwu and the others arrived, Cheng Long and the others immediately greeted them, "Mr. Xu! Hong Jingbao and the three greeted with a smile.

As soon as they got off the plane, they were hugged by everyone on the float, and they didn't have time to say hello to Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Good job, I'm very satisfied." ”

Hearing him say this, although it was a simple eight words after that, Hong Jingbao and the others were already very happy, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, we will continue to work hard." Hong Jingbao said on behalf of the brothers.

Xu Guanwu smiled, led Lin Qingxia and Zhao Yazhi, and came to the hotel surrounded by everyone.

In the hall are twenty tables of flowing water seats, come and eat as you go, everyone has fun. In addition, there are also three tables in the private room, mainly to entertain the heads of the Xiangjiang Film Club and the managers of the film company. In fact, the meals are the same in the private room and the hall, but the hall is chaotic and noisy, and it is not easy to talk, and the private room is quieter, which is more suitable for chatting.

When waiting for the ranking of seniority, Ye Zhiming, Wu Siyuan and others had to let Xu Guanwu sit on the seat. Xu Guanwu naturally refused, and began to let Ye Zhiming sit in the first seat, because he was the president of the Xiangjiang Film Club and the initiator of this event, so it was okay to let him sit in the first seat.

Ye Zhiming knows his own importance, his net worth is only one or two hundred million Hong Kong dollars, and he is richer than these small film companies, but if he compares with the Xu brothers, he is not even a fraction of others, so where does he dare to sit in this first seat.

Ye Zhiming himself refused to sit, and seeing that Xu Guanwu also refused to sit, he let Xu Guanwen sit in the first seat. Xu Guanwen excused himself, but he couldn't refuse, and no one was willing to sit except him, so he had to sit down. Then Ye Zhiming sat on the left, Xu Guanwu took Zhao Yazhi, and Lin Qingxia sat on the right.

This is also one of the reasons why Xu Guanwu does not like to attend parties, although this ranking is related to etiquette, it is part of Chinese food etiquette. But it's really tiring to keep going like this. Especially some people are too polite, this and that are entangled, and the daylily will be cold after the seat arrangement is finished.

After the routine toast, everyone drank a few rounds of wine, and at the beginning they were all in order, and their speeches were also high-sounding, all kinds of New Year's greetings. As soon as the wine came up, everyone began to be free and easy.

Xu Guanwu had seen him when he was working at Shaw Brothers before, but he was not qualified to talk to him at that time.

"Mr. Xu, when I came, Sir Shao had something to ask you." The vice president said to Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu was stunned. He hadn't really noticed the vice president just now. I just remember that he kept drinking. Now my face is flushed, and I can smell the strong smell of alcohol from three feet away.

"Excuse me." Xu Guanwu used a word of invitation, since Sir Shao asked someone to ask, he had to give Sir Shao a face.

"Sir Shao wants to ask you, is Miss Chung Chuhong hidden by you?" The vice president asked directly.

As soon as these words came out, the whole table was stunned, and they looked at Xu Guanwu together.

Xu Guanwu's face was as usual and he smiled. "How could he have thought it was me?"

The vice president smiled, "I don't know, but Mr. Xu, you just need to say yes or no." ”

Xu Guanwu nodded, "In this way, I actually didn't hide Miss Zhong. ”

The vice president blinked his eyes, looked at Xu Guanwu carefully, and saw that he didn't look like he was lying, and couldn't help but fall into doubt.

Wu Siyuan on the side couldn't help but interject when he saw this, "Why is Miss Zhong Chuhong missing?" ”

Wu Siyuan still has an impression of Zhong Chuhong, and remembers that she is a very moving girl. Combining sex appeal and purity, this kind of temperament is rare in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

The vice president nodded. "The company originally wanted to start a play for her, but no one could be found anywhere, and Sir Shao suspected that she was hidden."

"Well, doesn't her family know where she went?" Ye Zhiming asked suspiciously.

"Of course they know, but they don't want to say it, and there's nothing we can do." The vice president said.

"Then you can call the police, or sue her for breach of contract, and let her compensate for your losses." Wu Siyuan proposed that he had also experienced being released by actors before, so he hated those actors very much.

The vice president shook his head, "It's really troublesome to resort to the law, and now we can't find anyone, even if we sue the court, we can't do anything with her if she doesn't show up for a day." ”

"How did I hear that Chu Hong originally wanted to go back to Shaw Brothers to act, but it seems that you were planning to force her to shoot nude scenes, so you scared her away." Zhao Yazhi saw that the vice president blamed Zhong Chuhong for all the faults, and couldn't help jumping out to fight for her good sisters.

As soon as Zhao Yazhi jumped out to speak, Xu Guanwu knew that things were in trouble.

Sure enough, the vice president stared at Zhao Yazhi with bull's eyes, and shouted loudly, "Mrs. Xu, don't spray people with blood, how could our Shaw Brothers do such a despicable and dirty thing." That's right, we do have a lot of stars in Shaw Brothers, but they did it voluntarily, how can you blame us for the fault? ”

Zhao Yazhi listened to his quibbles, and planned to fight back again, but heard Xu Guanwu cough lightly, "Okay, okay, don't fight anymore." At the moment, I think it's more important to solve the problem, don't you all say? ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu is right." Ye Zhiming smiled and said, "I also know that Miss Zhong, the third place in the Miss Oriental beauty pageant last year, was not very good, and I heard that the family background is not very good, it stands to reason that after filming "Crazy Robbery", he became famous in one fell swoop, and he should seize the opportunity to make a few more movies to maintain his exposure." How could they have disappeared halfway through? Will someone have abducted or ...... Ahem! ”

"No, no, her family has received her phone calls and knows that she is doing well." The vice president waved his hand.

"I don't think I need to bother to guess, it will definitely come out when it's time to come out, it's useless to say more." Xu Guanwu smiled, "Everyone eats vegetables, eats vegetables." ”

……

After the celebration banquet, Xu Guanwu took Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia home first.

"Ah Wu, why don't you want me to speak, you listen to what the man said, as if everything is Chu Hong's fault." Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but say, "It's really annoying." ”

"He said his, you just listen, what to fight with him, you don't have to lose your identity." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Now the Shaw Brothers originally suspected me of meddling, and now that you are arguing, they have implemented this idea even more." ”

"What if they know, Chu Hong is now in the United States, can they still run to tie her up to Hong Kong?" Zhao Yazhi said.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "Sometimes, when you call someone back, you don't have to tie it up." ”

Zhao Yazhi blinked her eyes and didn't understand what Xu Guanwu was talking about, but Xu Guanwu didn't bother to explain to her anymore, but then made a phone call to the United States, and asked Lei Shidong to send someone to keep an eye on Zhong Chuhong, if you find that a stranger is looking for her, you must call him to inform him.

Zhao Yazhi saw that Xu Guanwu made a cross-ocean call, and she also felt that the situation was a little serious, as if she had just said something that she shouldn't have said.

After sending Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia home, Xu Guanwu came to HSBC again and found Mr. Shen Bi, the bank's senior class. He came here this time to invite a talent from HSBC to help him go to the United States to discuss with Darryl about the issuance of new shares, so as to delay his time as much as possible and give Xu Guanwu more time to acquire shares.

Xu Guanwu will definitely vote against the issuance of new shares, but before that, he always has to disguise himself to buy more time for himself. When the shareholding exceeds 50%, even if he issues new shares, he is not afraid. (To be continued......)
