Chapter 296: Zhou Huimin, who turns her elbow outward

She didn't expect that her favorite pen pal would adapt the novel of an author she quite liked.

Zhou Huimin confirmed the film's release time, just waiting for the premiere day to come and buy a ticket to support it. If it was filmed well, she would recommend it to her classmates. This should be a subject that boys would like, right?

Immediately, she skipped home. It was June, and Mao Mao Amin's school uniform had long been changed to the summer style. The slender jade legs under the school uniform skirt had already begun to take shape.

Because she had been participating in the school basketball team's training, they were not only slender but also firm. It was just that her shooting wasn't very accurate, and everyone hoped she would be a cheerleader.

When she went upstairs, she found someone on the roof of the building opposite. Looking closely, it seemed to be Uncle Ghost and Uncle Bin. These two people ran to the rooftop to blow the wind again; they really had a good mood.

"Ah Bin, your lurking is very successful. Haolilai has adopted some of the management experience you learned from McDonald's, work efficiency has significantly improved, and business is getting better and better. It's just that I haven't made up my mind about whether to do Western-style fast food," Old Ghost stood with his hands behind his back.

Liu Bin: "I think it can be done. The profit margin of Western fast food is really high, but it's best not to do it in the old store. It should be operated separately. After all, the unit price of Western fast food is higher, and it's the favorite of urban white-collar workers and children. It doesn't overlap with the target audience of our old store, and even conflicts. Operating them together will not please either side."

"Open another store~" Old Ghost pondered.

Liu Bin recommended himself: "If we open another store, I'm willing to serve as the store manager, displaying everything I learned at McDonald's. I can even pull in a few skilled hands from McDonald's."

Old Ghost suppressed his excitement: "Don't rush, don't rush. Didn't that Old Charlie say he thinks highly of you? Maybe the future McDonald's Asia-Pacific President will be you."

"Big Boss, we agreed on three months. Three months later, another three months, and three months later, another three months. It's been almost nine months; I'm almost falling in love with burgers and cola."

"You must guard your original intention. Millet porridge and rice noodle rolls are your true destination!" Old Ghost started to appease the undercover's emotions again, "Tell you a piece of good news, your son has already arrived in Hong Kong today."

"Ah, A Long, he, where is he!"

"I arranged for you to meet at Song Cheng tomorrow noon; at that time, father and son can have a good chat."

"Um, thank you, Uncle Ghost." Old Ghost patted Liu Bin's shoulder, letting him go back to rest first, while he looked at the scenery again.

Central and Western District could be considered a wealthy area in Hong Kong. This village looked somewhat out of place here. Receiving his own grandson here always felt somewhat unsuccessful, so he and Wei Ming arranged to meet at Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park.

It was a pity that houses in Hong Kong were too expensive. Ordinary working-class people could only earn enough for one square meter in a few months. Even if he started a business now, even if Haolilai was developing well now, there was still a huge gap from buying a thousand-foot luxury house.

So he still had to expand, but expansion required money.

Wei Ming calculated his US dollar deposits in HSBC. Buying a thousand-foot luxury house in a good location in Hong Kong had no pressure.

However, he didn't have a girlfriend in Hong Kong, so he didn't have the motivation to buy a house. He should just focus on his career.

The first thing to do in Hong Kong was to see his grandfather and fulfill the dream of two lifetimes.

The second thing was to make money.

Doing business in Yanjing required looking ahead and behind, analyzing policies, but there was no such concern here. However, being a newcomer, he hadn't thought about how to make money yet.

But one thing was certain: he had to get the box office of *Legend of a Fighter* up. This way, at least he could increase the royalties for his screenplay and maintain the cooperative relationship with Xia Meng. Bluebird's funding source had a part from the Huo family; these were all connections.

That night, Wei Ming lay in the dormitory of Great Wall Film Company, in the same room as A Long. Both were looking forward to tomorrow's meeting.

He didn't know why Old Ghost chose Lai Chi Kok to meet.

Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park had a long history and was a famous local amusement place in Hong Kong, the same age as the Republic. It was located in the Tsuen Wan District of the New Territories. In the 60s, it was purchased by businessman Chiu Tak-ken. Later, the attraction "Song Cheng" was added to Lai Chi Kok, built in imitation of *Along the River During the Qingming Festival*. It was both a man-made attraction and could be used for filming.

Chiu Tak-ken was the owner of ATV later; he wasn't yet, but soon would be.

"ATV" was the name changed after Chiu Tak-ken took over; now it was called Rediffusion.

In Hong Kong's TV field, TVB was the only one, and Rediffusion was the only company that could bring some pressure to it. There was also once a Commercial Television.

Three TV stations, plus two radio stations, were all distributed on Broadcast Drive in Kowloon Tong, because the terrain here was relatively high compared to the surroundings, which was a small hill, so it had the nickname "Five Hills."

Now Commercial Television no longer existed, but the nickname "Five Hills" was retained.

Because there was still some time in the morning, and Broadcast Drive wasn't far, the time micro-manipulation master Wei Ming left some Hong Kong dollars for A Long, and then took Biaozi and Jingzi to the filming base of Rediffusion TV to visit the set.

Yesterday Donnie Yen told them that Xu Xiaoming was filming the TV series *Fist of Fury* there; Rediffusion was Xu Xiaoming's official workplace.

The leads of this *Fist of Fury* were Wong Yuen-sun and Bruce Leung. The former was Chen Zhen, the latter was Huo Yuanjia.

When Wei Ming informed Xu Dao that their group was about to arrive in Hong Kong, Xu Dao already knew that the musician "Ah Ming" was him, so he extended an invitation to request a song. He wanted to match *Fist of Fury* with an atmospheric theme song.

At this time, they had already found Lai Siu-tin to compose the music. After confirming that Xu Xiaoming and Rediffusion hadn't found other lyricists, Wei Ming readily agreed to the lyric writing work.

"Ah Ming, come, come, come, let me introduce you." When Xu Xiaoming finished filming a scene and was resting, he enthusiastically greeted Wei Ming's group and introduced them to each other.

Wei Ming glanced at Wong Yuen-sun. He wasn't very familiar with the Little Fishy played by Wong Yuen-sun. His understanding of this person, besides *Fist of Fury*, was mainly because of Angie Chiu.

Angie Chiu, who was under thirty, was still a bit too young for Wei Ming; ten years later would be just right.

After chatting for a few sentences about the beautiful prospects of *Legend of a Fighter*, Wei Ming took out the lyrics he had prepared. Yesterday Donnie Yen had already brought the music for him to see.

"Sleeping for a hundred years / The people are gradually waking up / Open your eyes / Look carefully / Who is willing to admit being a subject..."

After reading it, Xu Xiaoming was invigorated. The first line of lyrics won his heart.

The later "The Great Wall will never fall / The Yellow River water flows endlessly" was even more magnificent. He was worthy of being a great talent cultivated on the mainland!

"Good lyrics, good lyrics!" Xu Xiaoming praised, "It matches our plot very well, fully displaying the feelings for the country. You really understand Huo Yuanjia. Rest assured, I will definitely find a singer worthy of this song! With this song, our drama will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and the ratings will explode!"

"It definitely will; I have confidence in your strength." Later, this song was sung by Ye Zhentang, and Xu Xiaoming and Bruce Leung also sang it.

When this lyric was taken out, Wei Ming didn't consider the issue of income. He timely proposed: "Xu Dao, you are a person from Rediffusion. Can Rediffusion help promote your movie?"

Xu Xiaoming patted his chest and said: "Rest assured about this. In the past month, I don't know how much wine I've drunk, using all my connections."

In this life, the director was changed to Xu Xiaoming, who came from Rediffusion. He didn't know how much bonus it would have for the box office of *Legend of a Fighter*. If it could be mentioned in some news broadcasts, it would be good.

Xu Xiaoming looked at Biaozi and little Wu Jing again: "Since you two are here, do you want to make a cameo in my play?"

Biaozi readily agreed. Little Wu Jing didn't have a say, not to mention the other party provided boxed lunches.

Wei Ming looked at the time: "Xu Dao, then I'll leave them both with you. I have a date, and I'll come pick them up when I'm done."

Xu Xiaoming was surprised. Teacher Wei wouldn't have a sweetheart just after arriving in Hong Kong, would he?

Walking out of the film set, after waiting for more than ten minutes, A Long and the van arrived. It was still Elvis Tsui driving, but the car was already theirs. This car was cheaply processed to them by Elvis Tsui's friend for 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the car couldn't be registered under their names.

"Ah Jiang, thank you for your hard work. I'll drive next." Wei Ming occupied the driver's seat.

Having had his driver's license for so long, his hands had long been itching. And it wasn't like he hadn't driven a right-hand drive car; he often drove A Long's car when he went to Japan to find A Long in his previous life.

Wei Ming didn't drive fast; after all, it was an unfamiliar scene, and he still needed Elvis Tsui to point the way and explain some Hong Kong traffic rules. Actually, he didn't understand very well either; he was even still taking his driver's test and didn't have a license.

After arriving at Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park, Elvis Tsui proposed to accompany A Long to the Song Cheng scenic area to see his uncle. He was very familiar with this place and had set up a stall here to paint and make money.

Wei Ming went to find the Lai Chi Kok Zoo alone; Old Ghost arranged to meet there.

After arriving at the meeting place, Wei Ming felt someone watching him in secret, but he searched all the pedestrians around and didn't see anyone suspected to be Old Ghost.

Until he gave up and stared straight at the elephant promotional poster in front, then someone patted him on the shoulder.

Turning his head, a burst of fragrance hit him; it wasn't a very high-end perfume, somewhat choking to the nose.

"Wei Ming, it's really you!" Nina Li looked at him unexpectedly.

Wei Ming was even more unexpected, staring blankly at Nina Li, who was deliberately transforming into a Hong Kong urban beauty but looked somewhat out of place. He remembered that when they met last time, there wasn't such a strong smell on her, and the light makeup was also prettier than the heavy makeup that didn't grasp the point now.

"Comrade Nina Li, what a coincidence."

"This is Hong Kong, call me Nina Li, or Ah Zhi is fine." Nina Li corrected; calling her comrade was so rustic.

"Alright, Ah Zhi."

"I met you the first time I came out to play. How long have you been here?" she asked again.

"Arrived yesterday." Wei Ming didn't want to waste time on her at this time; he was on a mission this time. "Did you come alone?"

"Yes, first rest after starting work." Nina Li said; she thought Wei Ming would ask where she worked.

But he didn't, instead saying: "That's not easy. Heard there's a water world over there you can play in; you go quickly."

Is he chasing me away?!

Nina Li couldn't believe it. Did he not even think about inviting her to dinner?

At the convenience store where she worked, those colleagues and even some customers had proposed wanting to invite her to dinner. She was increasingly confident in her charm.

But this person...

"Alright, I'll go over first." Nina Li's face collapsed, and she walked directly into the zoo. With her figure, playing water projects was simply cheapening the passersby.

After getting rid of her, Wei Ming continued to wait for Old Ghost.

And Old Ghost, after confirming there were no suspicious elements around Wei Ming, appeared directly in front of him.

At the first glance at Old Ghost, Wei Ming determined, that's right, it was him!

Even without seeing photos, just this image, it was a perfect combination of Lao Lao Lao Wei and Uncle Ping'an. He had Lao Lao Lao Wei's cynicism, Uncle Ping'an's steadiness, and a bit of his own dashing handsomeness.

What a mixed-type talent!

"How should I address you?" Wei Ming whispered.

"Call me whatever you call me at home."

"Grandpa~"

"Eh." He responded naturally and started chatting about family affairs again, "What relationship does that girl just now have with you?"

"Both from the mainland, just met before." Wei Ming described calmly.

Old Ghost squeezed a sweat for Mao Mao Amin; that girl's conditions just now were too outstanding.

Wei Ming said again, "Can we find a place with no one, a quiet place."

Old Ghost: "Follow me."

He actually took Wei Ming directly to the work area.

"This, is this appropriate? It's not good to be seen by others."

"What are you trying to do, afraid of being seen?" Old Ghost joked teasingly.

When Old Ghost took Wei Ming to a place piled with forage, Wei Ming saw no one around and knelt down to kowtow directly, three standard and formal kowtows.

When Wei Ming completed the task entrusted by Lao Lao Lao Wei, he brushed the forage on his knees. He saw Old Ghost had already turned around, estimated to be embarrassed to expose the soft side of his heart in front of his grandson.

"This was entrusted by my dad." Wei Ming said.

Old Ghost was even more moved, cursing the brat in his heart, while physically hugging Wei Ming directly and patting his back hard.

At this moment, Wei Ming wasn't just Wei Ming. At this moment, Wei Jiefang, Wei Ping'an, Wei Hong, Wei Xi, and Wei Le were possessed; he wasn't fighting alone!

Thirty years, thirty years! I, Wei Senhao, finally hugged my relative again!

Wei Senhao, he hadn't used this name for a long time. In Taiwan, he also had a new name, and when he arrived in Hong Kong, he was Ah Ghost.

"Know why I arranged to meet you here?" Wei Senhao asked after letting go of his grandson.

Wei Ming shook his head.

"Because the first job I found after coming to Hong Kong was here. Many of the current employees are my apprentices."

"Then what do you feed?"

"Because I like it."

Wei Ming -_-||: "I'm asking, what animals do you feed."

"Oh, feed elephants." Wei Senhao squeezed the forage, smelling it like a quality inspector.

Wei Ming stared at Old Ghost's thin figure. He added: "At that time, I was relatively fat."

"Then why didn't you continue doing it?" Wei Ming asked with a smile, "Was the matter of deducting elephant food discovered?"

Seeing his grandson being so uninhibited, Wei Senhao was very gratified; only then was it easy to quickly pull closer the feelings.

Wei Senhao got up and said: "Go, go out and see, talk while watching."

So Wei Ming listened to Old Ghost talk about the events of that year while strolling in the zoo.

"Once I wasn't at work, that tiger I raised..."

"Aren't you the one who raises elephants?"

Wei Senhao: "That tiger didn't listen; others couldn't raise it. Only I could get close to it without being hurt, so I mainly raise elephants and concurrently raise tigers."

Wei Ming opened his eyes wide. This, this wouldn't be the same animal affinity skill as Lao Lao Lao Wei, right!

No, everyone is surnamed Wei; it should be an inherited skill, why don't I have it!?

There were two little animals at home. The dog Ginkgo was very enthusiastic to everyone, and the police chief was relatively cold to everyone. Wei Ming, who brought it home, was no exception.

Old Ghost talked about his sad place: "That day I was on vacation. That Bengal tiger I raised escaped from the place where it was kept because of staff negligence, and then it was shot dead by the park security with an anesthetic needle. It should have been knocked out, but the dosage was too large, and it died. I was quite uncomfortable, so I left here, but occasionally I still come back to see."

"You are quite nostalgic."

Wei Senhao: "The elephant I raised is still there; you can ride it for ten Hong Kong dollars."

"I want to ride, I want to ride! Can you help me take a picture!"

Walking to the elephant area, the elephant "Tiannu" was working. When a big-breasted young lady rode up, it suddenly discovered something. Regardless that it was still working, it ran over with tourists on its back, bumping and bumping.

It was really rare to see an elephant running forward.

But this scared the Nina Li on the elephant's back miserably. This elephant wouldn't lose control, would it? Who would save her!

Wei Ming saw this scene: "That seems to be my friend from the mainland."

Wei Senhao immediately ordered "Tiannu" to stand still. The staff hurried over to apologize and promised free admission for the whole venue, etc.

Old Ghost worried: "Hurry over and persuade your friend, don't let her complain."

Wei Ming looked at Old Ghost. This elephant really listened to his words, obeying orders and prohibitions. It was even more powerful than Lao Lao Lao Wei, who only knew how to play with livestock.

He immediately went over to comfort Nina Li. Nina Li: So he had been paying attention to me all along. Wherever I go, he goes. Hmph, if you want to invite me to dinner, just say so.

Wei Ming really didn't have the intention of inviting her to dinner. He just met his grandfather, and there were too many things to say.

So when Nina Li was comforted, she turned around and Wei Ming was gone.

When communicating before, Old Ghost had many details of that year that were not easy to say clearly. Now face to face with his grandson, he could say it.

"Actually, you still have a little aunt. It was arranged by your big grandfather after I arrived in Taiwan. If I didn't leave a descendant in Taiwan, it would be impossible for him to let me leave."

Wei Ming indicated: "Understand, understand."

Isn't it just having had two women? I have them too.

In his previous life, although Wei Ming didn't have deep contact with this little aunt, he also knew she was a powerful person, inheriting several companies of his big grandfather, a solid single independent strong woman.

"Then can your dad understand?" Old Ghost asked again.

"My dad and grandma have such deep feelings, and mother and son have depended on each other for so many years. I can't say about this." Wei Ming shook his head gently.

Old Ghost sighed. This was also the reason he wanted to make a fortune and compensate his son; he felt guilty in his heart.

Wei Ming said again: "The fact that you are alive is only known to our father and son for now. Even Hong didn't dare to tell. But I think Uncle Ping'an is also a member of our Wei family, considered your half-son. Should we tell him?"

Old Ghost looked at the sun with a guilty conscience: "Go, find a place to eat first."

This place was close to the seaside, so naturally, they ate seafood. A Long and the others arranged it themselves.

"Your Uncle Ping'an, you can tell him, but he must keep it secret. This matter of mine is very difficult to explain clearly. I don't ask to regain my innocence, just hope to muddle through this life. But who knows if the movement will come again in the future, don't implicate him." Old Ghost sighed.

"Um, okay," Wei Ming responded, and said again, "Grandpa, can you do me a favor."

"What favor?"

Wei Ming chuckled: "Small favor, small favor."

When leaving, they met at the old place. Uncle Bin was also there, but Old Ghost had already left one step earlier; he didn't want to be seen by Wei Ming's friends.

At parting, Wei Ming and his grandfather had already discussed that the car would be left for Uncle Bin to use in the future, registered under his name. They were all grasshoppers on the same rope.

Wei Ming also knew about Haolilai's development at that time, and Uncle Bin, who was doing fast food undercover, so Wei Ming took the initiative to propose.

"If you want to open a branch, I can provide financial support." The idle money of more than 100,000 US dollars in the account, used to help the company destined to be inherited by himself expand, wasn't a big deal.

When learning about the wealth in his grandson's hands, Old Ghost firmed up the idea of opening a branch.

After returning, they immediately held a shareholders' meeting at Zhou Huimin's house.

"But this time we need to introduce a major shareholder."

Zhou Huimin worried: Mom won't suffer a loss in this share expansion, right?

Zhou Mom asked: "Who? Is he reliable?"

Old Ghost: "A young talent from the mainland, don't know if you have heard of the young writer Wei Ming."

Zhou Huimin immediately said: "Mom, this partner is very powerful; don't miss the opportunity!"

(Today's base, I'm in my hometown, will add updates after returning to the city!)
