Chapter 620: I Never Expected
In an apartment building somewhere on Hong Kong Island that is some years old, the unkempt Xia Hu is in high spirits, flipping through a famous gossip journal that just came out yesterday, and his eyes are blazing.
Xia Hu is having a hard time now, since that day he had a conflict with people in the capital, his world has been full of infinite darkness.
Thinking that he was a businessman in Hong Kong, especially as an influential person in charge of Bole Film and Television Company, Xia Hu didn't expect that someone would dare not give him face.
On Hong Kong Island, because the boss of Yiya is his distant relative, he has always been two-eyed, and he is a flatterer everywhere he goes on weekdays, and his heart is infinitely swollen, and he really thinks that there is nothing in this world that he can't do.
Accosting a beautiful woman in the field with a big head did not realize that he had lost face, and Xia Hu, who refused to swallow this breath, simply called the police who knew him well, intending to retaliate.
What he never expected was that he, a little man on Hong Kong Island who was far from being called a dragon crossing the river, could really provoke a local snake like Dai Datou.
Once Dai Datou, who calls him a brother on weekdays, has a tougher backstage, he will naturally not take Xia Hu, the CEO of an acting company who can't get on the stage, in his eyes.
Originally, he took advantage of the alcohol to smoke a lot of marijuana in Dai Datou, and Xia Hu, who thought that he was clever, did not succeed in planting it, but instead got himself into the game.
If this is all there is to it, Xia Hu and the others will suffer some minor crimes in the detention center, and after they come out in the future, whether they want to be honest with their tails between their legs from now on, or whether they will retaliate against Dai Datou and others is a matter of later story.
What made Xia Hu feel a bolt from the blue was that he had just entered the detention center on suspicion of drug abuse, and the next day, the front page of entertainment news in Beijing and even the whole country was a news report that he had taken drugs and was imprisoned.
Before the fifteen-day detention period had passed, Xia Hu had already received a notice of dismissal from the headquarters of Hong Kong Island Yiya Film and Television Company.
The negative reports that have caused a lot of waves in China have not only made him lose his job in Bole Film and Television Company, but also that there is no place for him in the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island.
The reason why Xia Hu was able to mix well in Yiya Film and Television Company was that the key was to rely on his relationship with the boss's distant relatives, and now the so-called halo on his body has disappeared, and he really has no means to make a living when he was just a ruffian in the past.
Now he is over 30 years old, and he has been mixed in the so-called upper class for a long time, so that he has long lost the ability to work hard at the bottom of the society, let alone let him go to the rivers and lakes again.
Xia Hu, who couldn't swallow this breath in his heart, remembered what happened that day vividly, and after a series of job searches on Hong Kong Island, he began to take revenge.
After all, he has been an executive in Yiya Film and Television Company for many years, and with the little savings left on weekdays, Xia Hu returned to the capital, trying to find an opportunity to find Dai Datou and others to do something that made him happy.
In the past, Bole Film and Television Company, which showed off its might, is now in the pocket of others, especially when he saw the figure with a big head on his face in the spring breeze appearing there, it was even more difficult for Xia Hu, who was heartbroken, to suppress the anger in his heart.
originally wanted to create some scandals for Dai Datou and Bole Film and Television Company, which has nothing to do with him now, but when he accidentally knew that the key person in the conflict that day was the youngest high-ranking official in Spring City, Xia Hu, who was carried away by anger, immediately decided to take revenge on that person.
Xia Hu, who is almost unfamiliar with China's political ecology, has never thought of the consequences that his revenge may bring to him.
Like a private detective, Summerlake sneaks to Spring City to try to find all the negative news about his enemies.
What disappointed him was that after tracking for more than half a month, the other party's almost stable life trajectory made him completely nowhere to be found.
Unwilling to fail, Xia Hu clearly remembered the intimacy between the young high-ranking official and the little beauty that day, and thinking of the sore spot, he simply stopped following but played the usual methods of the Hong Kong Island entertainment news paparazzi.
Hong Kong Island had just returned to China at this time, and Xia Hu's intention to create some peachy news for that young high-ranking official naturally did not have the slightest market in those relatively mainstream media.
Xia Hu did not slack off in this regard, he knew that such explosive news was definitely a treasure for those more gossip tabloids.
As Xia Hu expected, Xia Hu's so-called revelations not only fully realized his intentions, but even some of the photos he worked so hard to synthesize allowed him to get a small remuneration.
Hong Kong Island itself is a commercial society with very developed information, no matter how inconspicuous the newspaper that Xia Hu submits, the hot topics and the so-called ironclad evidence are like a mountain, the news about the ambiguous and intimate relationship between a young high-ranking official in the north of the Chinese mainland and a popular female singer in China will soon spread throughout Hong Kong Island, and soon spread throughout the overseas Chinese world.
Xia Hu flipped through the gossip tabloids on the front page in his hand, and the pride in his heart was difficult to control, and finally found out that his face, which was still a little white, looked extremely hideous at this time.
The apartment he lives in now is not his previous mansion, and he is unlikely to have too much savings as he is used to spending lavishly, and the place where he used to live is also a benefit provided by the company. Now that he has been kicked out of Yiya Film and Television Company, all the generous benefits in the past have been taken back, fortunately, his deceased parents still have such an old house to live in, otherwise he really doesn't even have a foothold now.
Compared with the high-spirited Bole Film and Television executive in the past, the current Xia Hu is probably a little afraid to recognize each other at the first time.
The bearded Xia Wang was much thinner than before, and his strong desire for revenge was now successfully completed, and after the joy in his heart dissipated, he soon felt empty and confused in his heart.
What the road to go on in the future, Xia Hu himself has no idea at all.
The doorbell rings.
Xia Wang got up a little strangely and was about to open the door, but few of his so-called friends would know about the old house here.
"Who are you looking for?"
Xia Hu didn't open the security door rashly, and looked coldly at a man of medium stature in front of him and asked.
The man in a suit and leather shoes took out a photo from his pocket, and the corners of his mouth flashed with an arc and smiled: "It's you who is looking for, can I go in and talk?" ”
Xia Hu stared at the young man fluently speaking in the local port and hesitated for a long time.
"Don't worry, I know what you're worried about now, I'm just asked to talk to you about business, that's all!" The other party smiled slightly, and spread his hands to show that he had no malicious intent.
Business?
Xia Hu's eyes lit up, now he is still short of money, and he is really a little tight after walking around Huaxia.
"What's the business?" Xia Hu stretched out his hand to open the security door, but the greed in his heart still made him relax his vigilance.
There was a loud "bang", and before Xia Hu could react, he was kicked up by the other party with a smiling face, and slammed into the furniture in the living room.
"Don't fight! If my brother asks for money, you will take all the money from me!" Xia Hu, who reacted quickly, naturally knew that he was still fooled, and hurriedly raised his hand to beg for mercy.
The person who came did not stop swinging his fist, and was very experienced in a sharp punch and kick at some places in Xia Hu's abdomen that would not cause fatal injuries.
In just a few minutes, Xia Hu was blue nose, swollen face, and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, and now his image was extremely embarrassed.
"You should know what I'm here for now, right?" The person who came put away his fists and feet sat on the sofa in the chaotic living room for a long time, and asked lightly with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Ahem...... Know...... I know! ”
Xia Hu was desperate in his heart, and it was only at this time that he suddenly realized that he thought he was smart and really thought things too simple.
"Do you need me to teach you the next thing?"
The cold and piercing gaze of the visitor made Xia Hu subconsciously tremble, for him who had been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, he was absolutely no stranger to such a gaze.
"No...... No! ”
Xia Hu begged for mercy again and again: "This big guy, the little brother knows that he is wrong, so I will go to the newspaper office to change and apologize!" ”
"What are you going to say?" The person who came was very calm and relaxed, such things were commonplace for him, and he didn't worry about the other party's regret at all.
"Yes, I'll just say that I was dissatisfied with being detained by the mainland police, and I made up lies in retaliation......" Old rivers and lakes like Xia Hu make up lies as commonplace, and opening their mouths is to say something that is very in line with the imagination of ordinary people.
"Then why did you find the person from Spring City?"
The person who came was obviously also an old Jianghu, as if he was confessing to Xia Hu, and he spit out green smoke and continued to ask questions.
"Because I've heard that person has the most famous name in Huaxia, and this kind of revenge has the best effect!"
Xia Hu's heart was miserable, and now if he didn't understand who the person in front of him who was settling accounts with him was, he wouldn't have to mess around.
With a smile on his face, he squatted in front of Xia Hu, who was slumped on the floor, gently patted the other party's red and swollen cheeks, shook his head and sighed: "You said that you are such a smart person, how could you do such a stupid thing?" What's the personal benefit of getting this kind of situation now?! ”
Xia Hu shrank his head in fear, and the person in front of him who exuded a strong murderous aura made him subconsciously tremble.
"This million Hong Kong dollars is yours, you know what it is for!"
The person who came took out a check from his pocket and snorted coldly: "That is, my boss is soft-hearted, if you really change me, I will definitely make you unable to see the sun tomorrow for a scumbag like you!" ”
Xia Hu almost peed his pants out without being scared, and he could naturally clearly feel that the other party was definitely not just talking.
"After you finish the matter, you are not allowed to leave Hong Kong Island for three years, otherwise you will understand the consequences!" The person who came glared at Xia Hu again and drifted away.
Xia Hu slumped on the floor of the living room, and it took a long time to wake up from the horror just now.
The pain on his body made him grin for a while, but the million-dollar check in his hand made him clearly know that what had just happened was not just a nightmare that people would never dare to remember again.
