Chapter 191: The Arrival of Little Xing and Brother Hong
At the exit of the capital airport, Xiang Fei stood at the pickup point with sunglasses on and hands in his pockets, beside Zhou Huimin, who was dressed just as low-key. Behind the two, Bao Bai Long and Heihu scanned the surroundings, ensuring safety and that no paparazzi were sneaking photos.
"The flight was delayed by twenty minutes," Zhou Huimin glanced at her watch, "they should be coming out soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd at the pickup point suddenly grew restless.
"Here they come," Xiang Fei's lips curled slightly upward.
There was Hong Jinbao in a casual suit, wearing a baseball cap, pushing a luggage cart with long strides, followed by Zhou Xingxing.
"Ah Fei!" Hong Jinbao laughed heartily, opened his arms for a solid hug, "Long time no see!"
Xiang Fei patted his back hard: "Brother Hong, you've gotten even more muscular!"
Zhou Huimin stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Hong, Little Xing, the journey was hard."
Zhou Xingxing nodded shyly: "Hello, Sister Min."
Inside the business car of Feimin Entertainment, Hong Jinbao plopped into the front passenger seat, turned back to wink at Xiang Fei: "Ah Fei, I heard Vivian is also acting in this shoot?"
Xiang Fei raised an eyebrow and smiled: "What, is that not allowed?"
"Allowed! Of course allowed!" Hong Jinbao laughed loudly, "I'm just curious, will the director and actors rehearsing at night affect their rest?"
Zhou Huimin coughed lightly and glared at Hong Jinbao: "Brother Hong, there's something behind your words."
Zhou Xingxing huddled in the back seat, holding back laughter and daring not to make a sound.
Xiang Fei calmly countered: "Brother Hong, you are playing a taciturn middle-aged man this time, don't bring your outside chatter into the role."
Hong Jinbao slapped his thigh: "Rest assured! I, Hong Jinbao, never mess around when acting!"
The car drove into the underground garage of the Feimin Entertainment building, and the elevator went straight to the top-floor conference room.
Cai Wen had been waiting for a long time; seeing everyone enter, he immediately rushed forward: "Brother Hong! Master Xing! We finally got you here!"
Zhou Xingxing hurriedly waved his hands: "President Cai, don't, don't call me Master Xing..."
Hong Jinbao grinned wickedly: "Master Xing, don't be shy!"
Cai Wen deliberately kept a stern face: "Comrade Zhou Xingxing, you are now the domestically famous King of Comedy, a box office guarantee, what else should we call you but Master Xing?"
Zhou Xingxing helplessly said: "You all just love to make fun of me..."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the conference room instantly relaxed.
At seven o'clock in the evening, inside a private room of the most expensive private restaurant in Jingcheng.
"This braised sea cucumber is truly excellent," Hong Jinbao picked up a piece and exclaimed in admiration.
Xiang Fei raised his glass: "Come, let's toast to welcome Brother Hong and Little Xing!"
Everyone clinked glasses; Zhou Xingxing only took a small sip, and his face turned red.
"Master Xing," Hong Jinbao deliberately teased him, "you are about to act in an art film soon, you need to practice your alcohol tolerance!"
Zhou Xingxing shook his head: "Brother Hong, I, I really can't..."
"What can't you do?" Hong Jinbao widened his eyes, "A man can't say he can't!"
Zhou Huimin smiled and intervened: "Brother Hong, stop bullying Little Xing."
Hong Jinbao shrugged: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to Ah Min."
He turned to look at Xiang Fei: "Ah Fei, Jingcheng has changed so much; the last time I came, this place was still just a hutong."
Xiang Fei nodded: "Yes, in a few more years, I'm afraid even the taste of old Beijing will be gone."
As the banquet was nearing its end, Xiang Fei's phone suddenly rang.
"Sister Mei?" He glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button, "Why did you think to call me?"
From the other end of the phone came Mei Yanfang's hearty voice: "Ah Fei, I'm holding a concert at the Hong Kong Coliseum before the New Year, you and Ah Min must come!"
Xiang Fei's eyes rolled: "Sister Mei, I'm afraid I can't make it; I've been preparing a new film recently, so busy my feet don't touch the ground."
Mei Yanfang disappointedly said "Ah": "That busy?"
"But Ah Min can go," Xiang Fei winked at Zhou Huimin, "she actually wants to relax."
Zhou Huimin understood, took the phone: "Sister Mei, shall I go be your guest?"
Mei Yanfang immediately became happy: "That's great! It's settled then!"
After hanging up, Zhou Huimin poked Xiang Fei's arm: "What devilish scheme are you up to now?"
Xiang Fei smiled mysteriously: "A secret."
On the way back to the hotel, Zhou Huimin couldn't help but ask: "What exactly do you plan to do?"
"I plan to go secretly," Xiang Fei's eyes flashed with cunning, "when she is halfway through singing, I will suddenly go on stage to present flowers and scare her!"
Zhou Huimin was at a loss between laughter and tears: "Sister Mei has a bad heart, don't actually scare her into getting sick."
"Rest assured," Xiang Fei was confident, "I have already had my assistant contact the band; they will give me a signal at the right time."
At the hotel entrance, Hong Jinbao, slightly drunk, patted Xiang Fei's shoulder: "Ah Fei, for this cooperation, your Brother Hong will definitely give you face!"
Zhou Xingxing: "Brother Fei, I will work hard."
Xiang Fei nodded solemnly: "With you two here, this film will surely succeed."
Watching the two enter the elevator, Zhou Huimin asked softly: "Back to the room?"
Xiang Fei took her hand: "No, first to the recording studio."
"So late?"
"Preparing a surprise for Sister Mei," Xiang Fei smiled mysteriously, "I'm going to record a song to sing to her on stage then."
Zhou Huimin shook her head and chuckled lightly: "You, always with so many devilish ideas."
In the night, the two figures walked further and further away, and the story belonging to them had only just begun.
