Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 115 Revisiting an Old haunt (Please subscribe)

Queen Mary Hospital, the best hospital in Hong Kong, is the birthplace and final resting place of the wealthy.

In the luxurious private room at the home hospital, there is not only a dedicated caregiver, but also a television to watch.

Ni Zhen, with his leg still in a cast, was watching TV out of sheer boredom.

During this period, news about this year's top ten songs has been making headlines, and Ni Zhen is eager to see how Cao Jian will embarrass himself.

He just saw that Cao Jian's song won one of the Top Ten Hits and that he even hugged Vivian Chow, and he wanted to smash the TV.

Unfortunately, I couldn't move my legs, so I could only throw the pillow.

He wanted to turn off the TV, but he also wanted to keep watching to see what else might make him happy.

When it was announced on television that Cao Jian, like Liu Dehua, had become one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he was completely ecstatic.

"The Four Heavenly Kings? Cao Jian?"

Looking at his glamorous "love rival" on TV, Ni Zhen felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making him feel worse than if his leg had been broken.

She went to great lengths to smear Cao Jian and make it impossible for him to make a living in Hong Kong.

As a result, not only was he not affected at all, but his album sold very well and he became more and more popular.

Instead, I've ended up looking like this mess.
"Snapped!"

Even with his masochistic tendencies, Ni Zhen couldn't stand it anymore. He finally turned off the TV and lay on the bed, panting heavily in anger.

What frustrated him even more was that no one wanted to take over the "YES!" magazine.
The Jade Solid Gold Awards ceremony.

Fans of all four artists were chanting their idols' names wildly.

The idols felt honored to have the title of "Four Heavenly Kings".

Amidst this frenzied atmosphere, the Jade Solid Gold Awards ceremony finally came to a slow close.

"Jian, what do you think of this title?"

As Cao Jian stepped off the stage, Mei Yanfang deliberately smiled.

"I didn't feel anything, it was just like that."

Cao Jian smiled shyly and said, "Since we are the Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong, I'm considering writing a Cantonese song or releasing an English album."

"Oh right, you sing English songs really well, why don't you release an English album?"

In the eyes of Hong Kong people, English songs are still considered more sophisticated, and even Anita Mui was no exception.

"Okay, since I have nothing to do during the Chinese New Year, I'll just focus on writing songs."

For Cao Jian, writing English songs is much easier than writing Cantonese songs.

However, Mui Yan-fong still suggested, "If you could release a Cantonese album, it might be beneficial. After all, Ni Zhen once used this matter to slander you. Releasing an album would shut some people up."

"Makes sense."

After Cao Jian finished speaking, he suddenly sighed, "It seems I won't be able to go home for the Spring Festival this year."

When the two women beside Cao Jian heard that he was going to stay in Hong Kong for the Spring Festival, they both thought to themselves, "It's good that he's not going back."

The next morning, major Hong Kong newspapers and entertainment news sections devoted the largest amount of space to promoting the "Four Heavenly Kings".

Cao Jian, who came to Hong Kong for the first time, surprisingly became a top star in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

This reputation is far greater than that of later popular celebrities.

With the support of the "Four Heavenly Kings" title, the album "Kiss Goodbye" finally broke the ten million mark in the following days.

In Hong Kong alone, more than three million copies were sold, making him the second singer after Wang Jie to have a single album sell over ten million copies.

Before the Lunar New Year, Cao Jian also received his first share of the profits from "Goodbye Kiss," a whopping 18 million Hong Kong dollars.

Excluding fixed assets, Mr. Cao's Spring Festival debt has now exceeded 30 million.

With this money, it's enough to invest in a movie or something.

Two days later, there was still a week until the Spring Festival.

Feeling the increasingly strong atmosphere of the Spring Festival, Cao Jian finally decided to return to the mainland for the New Year.

Yang Yuying might be on the Spring Festival Gala this year, but we won't be able to see her in Hong Kong. It would be better for her to go back and check on the progress of the electronics factory.

When Cao Wei saw his cousin return, he excitedly congratulated him, saying, "Brother, you're one of the Four Heavenly Kings, on par with Andy Lau! You're so awesome!"

"You're better than me."

Cao Jian saw Cao Wei wearing a gold chain around his neck and said, "Look at you, wearing a gold chain, carrying a small leather bag, and with your hair slicked back, you look like a big boss."

"Brother, please stop making fun of me."

Cao Wei is now a prominent figure in Guangzhou, the most powerful nightclub owner with over a hundred henchmen. However, he is still very obedient in front of Cao Jian.

He said modestly, then asked, "Brother, how's that Ni Zhen doing?"

"Still lying in the hospital."

Speaking of Ni Zhen, Cao Jian laughed and said, "He handled that matter brilliantly."

"You must do what you've been told to do."

Cao Wei, not wanting to take credit, said, "If he provokes you again, I'll go to Hong Kong again and kill him!"

"He's about to run away."

Cao Jian also knew that in the 1990s, someone like Cao Wei would do quite well.

"He's a piece of trash, what a bargain for him!"

Cao Wei spat in frustration, then laughed, "Brother, you're so good at picking up girls, if you ever have any more trouble with stealing someone's girlfriend or getting into fights with rivals, just tell me, and I'll handle it." "I've already found you three girlfriends, and you're still going to steal them? Are you going to have a 'Sister-in-law Riding the Waves' drama from now on?"

"What is a sister-in-law who rides the waves? I don't think there's much to say. Brother, this year's Miss Hong Kong winner is pretty good."

"That's a good idea..."

After joking around for a while, Cao Jian finally advised, "Third brother, I know that nightclubs sometimes need to be ruthless, but sometimes you also need to keep a low profile. The bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against you, understand?"

"Ah."

"Also, don't threaten to kill anyone at the drop of a hat. If something can be solved with money, it's best to avoid killing people, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."

"Brother, I know, don't worry."

As the two drove, Cao Jian gave his cousin a heads-up.

When we arrived at the nightclub, although it wasn't dark yet, there were already many luxury cars parked outside, indicating that business was booming.

Upon arriving at a luxurious private room, Cao Wei immediately arranged for several pretty young women to accompany his cousin while he drank.

"Brother, your wife went to Yanjing a while ago. Have fun here tonight, why don't you stay and not go back?"

"She should be going to perform at the Spring Festival Gala, so let's sleep together tonight, brothers."

Cao Jian remembered that Yang Yuying had said last time that he had received an invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, so he did not tell Yang Yuying when he came back this time.

However, he naturally looked down on these ordinary women.

Besides, they're all one of the Four Heavenly Kings, they need to maintain a certain image, so if they're going to date, they should date female celebrities.

"what?"

"We brothers have been living together for a long time, don't you want to?"

"Yes, yes!"

Cao Wei verbally agreed, but his expression was very awkward.

You're one of the "Four Heavenly Kings," and you still want to sleep with me? Aren't these young girls more appealing?
In the past six months, Cao Wei has also bought a house.

"Third brother, don't mess with the young girls at the nightclub."

"I know, I only have two girlfriends right now."

"That's okay."

Cao Jian also understood that he couldn't allow officials to set fires while forbidding ordinary people from even lighting lamps.

As long as this kid doesn't go too far, it'll be fine.

The two brothers chatted until midnight, reminiscing about past anecdotes. Cao Wei expressed his gratitude to his cousin for bringing him here back then.

Cao Jian also asked his cousin to find a reliable person to set up a security team to be responsible for the security of the electronics factory.

The current public security situation is not as good as it will be a decade or two from now, when people have money and need to have people under their command to feel at ease.

The next morning, Cao Jian arrived at the entrance of New Era Audio-Visual, wanting to revisit the place.

The new era hasn't started its holiday yet; people are coming and going, and it seems to be developing well.

Just then, a red sports car drove through the gate, and a long-haired beauty got out of the car.

The beautiful woman was wearing a red woolen coat and a beige sweater. Although she was not tall, she was very charming.

"She didn't participate in the Spring Festival Gala?"

Cao Jian saw the beautiful woman, paused for a moment, then drove up and parked next to her. He rolled down the window and flirted, "Beautiful lady, you're really pretty. Got some time? Want to grab a drink?"

"what?"

Upon hearing the sound, the beautiful woman excitedly ran to Cao Jian's car door.

Although Cao Jian was wearing a mask, the beautiful woman was so familiar with the voice that she couldn't possibly not recognize it.

"Honey, when did you get back?"

Yang Yuying called out as she opened the car door, sat down, and threw herself into Cao Jian's arms: "Darling, I missed you so much."

"Be careful not to get seen."

"I'm not afraid."

"I'm afraid."

"I had forgotten that you are now one of the Four Heavenly Kings."

Despite saying that, Yang Yuying couldn't help but take off Cao Jian's mask and kiss him passionately in the car.

After a while, the two of them got out of the car.

Cao Jian put his mask back on and walked up to the brand-new Porsche 911: "When did you buy this sports car?"

"I asked someone to buy this for me after I came back from Hong Kong for New Year's Day. How is it?"

Yang Yuying is now more mature, and with this car, she exudes goddess-like charm.

"We're a perfect match."

"I think so."

……

The two were looking at cars when an employee of New Era Audio-Visual, who was passing by, recognized the man next to Yang Yuying and immediately ran over, calling out, "Mr. Cao Jian, when did you get back?"

The mention of "Cao Jian" was like a drop of cold water entering a hot oil pan, causing an uproar throughout the entire new era.
