Chapter 109 Male Best Friend (Please Subscribe)

"Sweetie, I'm home!"

When Cao Jian arrived home, Zhou Huimin had just returned from get off work.

"Honey, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

In just a few days, Vivian Chow felt like she had missed him terribly. When she saw her boyfriend, she rushed over, jumped onto Cao Jian, gave him a kiss, and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about Ni Zhen anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"He was crippled by someone, and he can no longer harass us."

"Didn't you have a scandal with him? How can you be so heartless? Have you ever thought about going to visit him?"

"I'm not going. Besides, you won't let me see him. Right now, all I can think about is you."

When Zhou Huimin first saw the news about Ni Zhen, she remained calm.

Seeing her boyfriend back from his business trip, she was naturally excited: "Did you know? The album 'Kiss Goodbye' has already sold over two million copies in Hong Kong, and with sales in mainland China and Taiwan, it has exceeded seven million."

Your magazine is selling like hotcakes, completely outselling YES!

Also, I heard that TVB has sent word that they want you to audition for the male lead role in "The Greed of Man."

All the things Zhou Huimin talked about were about Cao Jian, but she seemed happier about them than about her own.

Seeing the excited Jade Maiden Sect Leader Yi, Cao Jian rubbed her fair, smooth, smiling face and chuckled, "Don't you feel like you've found an excellent boyfriend?"

"It's because I have good taste."

As she spoke, Vivian Chow swayed her body and said in a sweet voice, "Darling, it's been so long, I've missed you."

"What are you thinking about?"

Cao Jian teased her on purpose, thinking to himself, "Is she a pure maiden or a lustful woman?"
He put Vivian Chow down and took a small box out of his bag: "This is a gift for you."

Vivian Chow happily opened it, revealing a pair of beautiful earrings with sparkling gemstones, and they were quite large.

"So big?"

"I like big ones."

As Cao Jian spoke, he reached his hand inside his clothes.

After all, I've slept with Vivian Chow for so long, so I should still give you some benefits.

……

After New Year's Day, the Spring Festival will be just around the corner.

The next day, Cao Jian and Zhou Huimin went to TVB for an audition.

The album "Kiss Goodbye" was a huge hit, becoming incredibly popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, and even Southeast Asia.

Under these circumstances, the production team of "The Great Era" naturally cast Cao Jian as the male lead.

The audition is just a formality.

Besides, if Cao Jian can play the male lead in Tsui Hark's movies, then making a TV series would be no problem for him.

When "Swordsman II" becomes a hit, it will also boost the ratings of "The Greed of Man".

The executives at TVB are very shrewd.

"Ah Jian, congratulations! I didn't expect that not only would your album sell so well, but you would also actually get the male lead role in a TVB anniversary drama."

Music teacher Hu Weili was happy to see his star student return.

"Thanks to the teacher's help, otherwise I might not have been able to find a way out."

After a polite exchange, Cao Jian asked, "Teacher, how's the soundtrack for 'Swordsman II' coming along?"

"It's done as you suggested."

Hu Weili laughed and said, "Because of the success of the last concert, I've been so busy lately. Not only am I doing the soundtrack for 'Swordsman II,' but I'm also doing the soundtrack for Stephen Chow's movie 'Justice, My Foot!'"

"Teacher, you've worked hard."

After Cao Jian finished speaking, he grabbed Zhou Huimin and ran away.

He was afraid that the teacher would keep him here to do hard labor.

There are so many things to do at the company.

"That kid, he runs pretty fast, all he knows is how to pick up girls."

Although Hu Weili complained, his eyes were full of doting smiles.

This student has already earned himself a lot of face and made a lot of money.

"Honey, where to now?"

"Let's go to the company and take a look."

Filming for "The Great Era" only started after the Spring Festival. Before the Spring Festival, Cao Jian was basically free, and at most he had time to participate in some TV interviews.

Vivian Chow's last album didn't sell very well, and she only started recording her new album after the Lunar New Year, so she wasn't busy before the New Year.

The two arrived at Fuxing Building, and as soon as they pushed open the door, they went to the boss's chair, where someone was sitting.

"Sister Mei, what are you doing here?"

Cao Jian saw Mei Yanfang and was filled with curiosity.

"Can't I come?"

Mui Yan-fang smiled and asked in return, but when she saw Zhou Huimin holding Cao Jian's arm, she felt a little sad.

However, she still smiled and said, "I just came to see if Mr. Cao is back yet." "Of course you can come, anytime is fine. I just got back yesterday afternoon, and I went to TVB for an audition this morning. I haven't had a chance to call you yet."

Cao Jian laughed and said, "Since you're here, how about we have some drinks tonight?"

"Okay."

Mei Yanfang nodded, glanced at Zhou Huimin, and hesitated before speaking.

"Vivian, make me a cup of coffee."

Cao Jian immediately understood that Mei Yanfang had something to ask him, so he sent Zhou Huimin away.

"Ah Jian, does Ni Zhen's matter have anything to do with you?"

After Zhou Huimin left, Mei Yanfang got up, closed the office door, and then asked in a low voice.

"How could this have anything to do with me? I'm in the US, and I only found out about it yesterday."

Even if it were Anita Mui, Cao Jian had no intention of revealing the truth.

Mei Yanfang stared at him, silently judging whether Cao Jian was telling the truth or not.

But if he didn't do it, who did?

Others may not know, but Mei Yanfang does, because Cao Jian had previously said that he would handle Ni Zhen's matter himself.

It has now been solved, and done so flawlessly, which really surprised Mei Yanfang.

It seems I underestimated Cao Jian.

However, since he says it's not true, let's just assume it isn't.

Mei Yanfang nodded: "I was worried before that it was related to you and that there might be problems with the aftermath. Since it has nothing to do with you, that's for the best. I'm relieved."

"Hehe, actually this kid deserved it."

"Yeah, you deserved it for ignoring my warnings and criticizing you in a magazine."

"Sister Mei, did you warn him?"

"what?"

Mei Yanfang then realized she had let something slip and quickly laughed, "Last time he tried to ruin your voice, I had someone give him a heads-up and tell him not to touch you again. I didn't expect that kid to be so ungrateful."

Not wanting Cao Jian to feel indebted to him, he patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "But you're pretty good, kid. You actually managed to hook up with Vivian Chow."

"Sister Mei."

Cao Jian realized that this woman genuinely cared about him, and he was somewhat touched. After hesitating for a moment, he still didn't tell her the truth, but only sincerely said, "Thank you."

He probably guessed that Mei Yanfang might have guessed that Ni Zhen's dismissal was related to her, but she didn't say it out loud.

It seems that Sister Mei is trustworthy.

Why are you taking this so seriously? We are...we are.

Anita Mui said "yes" for a while, unsure how to define their relationship.

They're definitely not lovers.

Saying "good friend" is much closer than just "good friend".

"She's my best friend."

"Best friend?"

Mei Yanfang was taken aback. Aren't best friends all women? How can you and I be considered best friends?

Cao Jian laughed and said, "A male best friend!"

"Haha, that's an interesting way to put it, it's like saying 'best friend'!"

Mei Yanfang felt that the "best friend" relationship was indeed very good, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She sighed and still cautioned, "Whether it's you or not, try to be careful lately. The other day, copies of 'All's Well, Ends Well,' starring Stephen Chow and Leslie Cheung, were stolen."

"Oh"

Cao Jian has never heard of this matter now, but he knew about it before his rebirth.

The Hong Kong film industry has intricate connections with the underworld. Luckily, I knew Anita Mui, otherwise I don't know what would have happened.

"But you don't need to worry too much, after all, you have PolyGram backing you, and... and I can help you too."

As Mei Yanfang spoke, she picked up the first issue of "Men's Magazine" from the table and said with a smile, "Your magazine is great, and the cover photos are good too. When will you let me be a cover girl?"

"Sister Mei, you want to be in my magazine?"

"Can't you?"

Mei Yanfang raised her head, feeling that Cao Jian was underestimating her: "My lips are not bad either."

"Very sexy."

Since they were best friends anyway, Cao Jian directly praised Anita Mui's most distinctive features.

"Then it's settled. I'll shoot the cover for the next issue."

In fact, Anita Mui didn't care about appearing on the cover of "Men's Health" magazine at all; she was just doing it to support Cao Jian's career.

Mr. Cao understood this as well.

"What are you talking about?"

At that moment, Vivian Chow walked in carrying two cups of freshly ground coffee.
