Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 112 Yue Huizhen Loses Her Temperament
Chen Guozhong had previously thought that as long as Lin Sen and Liang Zhenbang refused, he would have enough grounds to turn down the script.

Leung Chun-pong and Lam Sum are currently riding high on their success, and these two are absolutely capable of keeping Kowloon City under control.

There's no reason to make a movie out of it.

Unexpectedly, Liang Zhenbang fell silent as soon as he saw the script.

What does this mean?
The script that Wang Dao presented touched his heart deeply.

Liang Zhenbang didn't reject the script; how could he possibly refuse Wang Dao's suggestion?

The two hadn't known each other for long, but Chen Guozhong knew that Wang Dao was a petty person and there was no benefit in offending him.

Chen Guozhong was quite anxious for a moment.

After a long while, Liang Zhenbang looked up; he had finished reading the script.

"How is it?" Lin Sen asked.

Liang Zhenbang frowned and said:

"My first feeling after reading the script was fear!"

Chen Guozhong and Lin Sen exchanged a glance and said in unison:
"Fear?!"

Liang Zhenbang carefully considered his words and thought it over before speaking:
"I just want someone to be watching me from the shadows."

"Not only me, but even my wife couldn't escape their observation."

"The characters of the 'Liang Zhenbang' couple in this script are just like the characters of my husband and me."

"Of course, that's just how my husband and I are the day before yesterday."

He frankly stated,

“Before, I didn’t know how to behave and offended many people in our police station without realizing it.”

"And because of my stern face, I have also offended many people in the underworld."

"If things really happened according to this script, I would most likely have followed the script the day before yesterday."

what? !

Chen Guozhong and Lin Sen were visibly shocked.

"Are you kidding me?"

Chen Guozhong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He was terrified!
Chen Guozhong read the script but didn't think much of it, because he and Wang Dao had already predicted the events in the script on the very first day they learned of Long Fei's conspiracy.

To his surprise, Wang Dao's writing was so detailed that he actually copied Liang Zhenbang's personality exactly. That is to say, in the context of the script, Liang Zhenbang would really do what the script said step by step.

This is a big problem!

The easiest way to control a person is to control their personality.

Character determines fate.

Some people always believe that if they could go back to the past, they could change a certain part of their lives.

Little did you know, your personality determined your choices.

No matter how many times that crucial moment is relived, your choice at that moment is unique.

It is the first choice based on a comprehensive consideration of your upbringing, your life experiences, and your personality.

Just like a person who is afraid of death, their subconscious thought is always to escape themselves.

Instead of facing difficulties head-on.

Only through profound and unforgettable experiences can one undergo fundamental change.

In other words, if you understand a person's personality traits, you can control them to some extent!
Once a police officer's behavior is detected, he is very likely to fall into a trap.

Just like Gu Shouzhong's second son, Gu Guowu, he was short-tempered and easily angered, but also very loyal.

These kinds of people are the easiest to control; just give them a little stimulation and they'll give a perfect response.

"This is my personality, and Uncle Sen's personality is also perfectly presented in the script. If the personalities of other people in the script are also perfectly presented, then I think it is necessary to participate in this movie."

Liang Zhenbang said slowly.

Chen Guozhong's face was grave:
Give me a reason?

Liang Zhenbang pointed to the script:

"I want to get to know Gu Xiaoyu, the third son of Gu Shouzhong."

Chen Guozhong said with a dark face:

"This is just a script. People in the script appreciate each other, but do you really think that would happen in the real world?"

Leung Chun-pong shrugged:

"Who knows?"

"By the way, this guy didn't experience the situation of his father running away and his two older brothers being killed and injured, so he probably won't become the leader of Hong An's gang, right?"

"Perhaps I can try to win them over."

“If such a capable guy really goes down this path to the bitter end, it will be very detrimental to our management of the club.”

Chen Guozhong gave him a pleased look:
"Good, you've finally learned to think in a different way."

Liang Zhenbang smiled:

"This is thanks to the good teaching of Brother Zhong and Uncle Sen."

Chen Guozhong sighed:
"I can't guarantee that Hong An will succeed Gu Guowen."

Liang Zhenbang raised an eyebrow:
"What do you mean?"

Chen Guozhong shrugged:

"That kid over there is named Wang Dao. His official identity is a senior executive at Qiankun Film and Television."

"His actual identity is Brother Kun's right-hand man."

"This guy has big ambitions. Apart from finding actors to play the deceased Long Fei and A He, he plans to have the entire class perform for everyone else."

"In other words, Gu Shouzhong and his group will see this script."

"The Gu family might arrange for Gu Xiaoyu to take over the position, who knows?"

“In that case, Uncle Sen will have a real headache.”

Liang Zhenbang glanced at Uncle Sen. Lin Sen's daughter, Jenny, was engaged to Gu Xiaoyu. The two were childhood sweethearts, and naturally they got together when they grew up.

Lin Sen shook his head:
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; I can't control that."

Liang Zhenbang nodded slightly:
"Then I'm even more determined to participate."

Chen Guozhong was helpless:
“I thought you two would refuse, so I would have a reason to decline, but now I can’t decline.”

"Are you really going to act in this?"

Lin Sen shrugged:

"I think I only had a few shots, and the filming was finished in less than half a day."

Leung Chun-pong said:

"I will make time for it."

Chen Guozhong nodded:

"Okay, then I'll agree to it on your behalf."

"By the way, the pay you're owed will still be there."

Liang Zhenbang was about to decline when Chen Guozhong said calmly:

"Of course he does! He runs a legitimate film and television company and has to pay taxes!"

Liang Zhenbang then accepted the offer.

Chen Guozhong came to Wang Dao's side and said:
"My two colleagues agreed to act, but there's one condition."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"any request?"

Chen Guozhong said solemnly:

Are you sure someone from the Gu family will be in the show?

Wang Dao immediately said:
"Of course!"

"That's for sure."

Chen Guozhong then said:

"Okay, let's agree on that beforehand."

"If the Gu family doesn't come to perform, we won't perform either."

Wang Dao smiled and said:
"of course."

"Don't worry about the two officers' pay; we'll make sure they get their full pay."

Wang Daoxiao was extremely pleased with himself.

Suddenly, a thought arose in Chen Guozhong's mind, and he said incredulously:
"You guys aren't trying to squeeze in both ends, are you?"

"They're using the Gu family's participation to keep us hanging, while they're using our participation to keep the Gu family hanging?"

Wang Dao laughed heartily:

"Brother Zhong truly lives up to his reputation as a brilliant detective!"

Chen Guozhong spat:
"Trickster!"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"This is just normal business practice."

"Brother Zhong, are you free these next couple of days?"

Chen Guozhong answered rather cautiously:
"whats the matter?"

Wang Dao chuckled lightly:
"Ah Zhen and I are moving, and we would like to invite you to our new home."

Chen Guozhong said incredulously:
"You even have to carry a feast when you move? You've really fallen for money?"

However, after realizing what had happened, everyone was stunned.

"You bought a new house?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"Yes, I've made a little money, so of course I want to buy a house."

Upon hearing this, Yue Huizhen was taken aback, then overjoyed and said:
"Brother Dao, have we bought a house?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I originally wanted to give you a surprise, and it just so happens that Brother Zhong is here, so I'd also like to thank him for taking care of you."

This is no exaggeration. Because of Chen Guozhong, Le Huizhen has had many exclusive news stories. Also because of Chen Guozhong, other police stations would seek out Le Huizhen for exclusive news stories.

The reason, of course, is Chen Guozhong's example. Knowing that this reporter had a good relationship with the police station, he not only refrained from criticizing the police but also cooperated fully with the police station's work.

With more exclusive news about Lok Wai-Ching, her fame is soaring, which will attract even more police stations.

Now everyone in the entertainment industry knows about this beautiful female host.

This creates a virtuous cycle.

Incidentally, even without mentioning Wang Dao's background, not many figures in the underworld would dare to mess with Le Huizhen. Everyone knows that she is the mouthpiece of the police station, and if they mess with her, many police stations will cause them trouble.

The police station had a terrible image before, but thanks to several exclusive news stories about Lok Wai-chun, its image has changed dramatically.

So much so that the police station even negotiated a collaboration with TVB Jade, one of the conditions being that Lok Wai-chun would be the host.

Le Huizhen was overjoyed:
"Brother Zhong, you really have to come!"

"I'll send you an invitation from the police station when the time comes."

Chen Guozhong rolled his eyes vigorously:

"You two are obsessed with money!"

"You have to collect a share for this."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"We don't accept monetary gifts; we're just inviting relatives and friends to get together."

Chen Guozhong frowned and asked, "Who were they invited?"

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"Of course, my side consists of people from the company, like Brother Kun, Ah Fu, Ah Jie, Ah Ren, and maybe Binni at most."

"Ah Zhen's side must be her relatives and friends, right?"

Le Huizhen thought for a moment and said:
"There won't be anyone else here. By the way, how big is our house?"

Wang Dao smiled and said:

"Don't worry, you can relax even with a lot of people around."

Le Huizhen's eyes widened:

"Can we have a party at home?"

Wang Dao made an "OK" gesture and said,
"No problem!"

Lok Wai-chun shouted:

"Honey, you're amazing!"

Chen Guozhong sighed:
"You really know how to give me a tough time."

Wang Dao corrected:
"They're all people who run legitimate businesses; they wouldn't give you any difficult questions."

Chen Guozhong sneered.

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I know the rules of your police station; I don't even call people who aren't one of us."

"Let's go, let's go!"

The couple greeted the TV station staff and happily went to look at houses.

Chen Guozhong stood with his hands on his hips, seemingly lost in thought.

Lin Sen smiled and said to Liang Zhenbang:

"Abang, is there anything you want to say?"

Liang Zhenbang smiled slightly:

"I should learn from Brother Zhong."

Chen Guozhong shook his head:

"You don't need to follow my example, just be yourself."

"There's no way around it when it comes to dealing with people from the underworld; after all, that's what our job is."

"But you must remember one thing: our bottom line cannot be shaken."

Leung Chun-pong added:

"We also need to understand who we are working for."

All three of them laughed!
Over here, Wang Dao and Le Huizhen, a young couple, are about to go house hunting.

Le Huizhen was very curious:
"Honey, where did you buy the house?"

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"I already told you I'd give you a surprise, just follow me."

The two got into their cars and drove south.

Lok Wai-chun's mouth grew wider and wider. Was this road leading to Repulse Bay?!

Could it be that Wang Dao really bought a house in Repulse Bay?

However, once she got in the car, she couldn't call to ask about the situation, so she could only follow Wang Dao at high speed.

As expected, Wang Daozhen parked his car at the Repulse Bay mansion.

Le Huizhen exclaimed in surprise:
"Honey, you really bought a house here?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I picked up some things today and suddenly I had enough money to buy a house."

"Since I remembered you wanted to buy a house, I bought it."

The next moment, Yue Huizhen sealed his lips with hers, giving him a five-minute-long wet kiss before saying:

"Honey, our house is actually still habitable; it's a thousand-square-foot mansion!"

"I'm considering buying a house as an investment after listening to your analysis."

"There's really no need to rush into buying a house."

Wang Dao's sweet words flowed effortlessly:

“That house is a mansion, but you don’t even have a walk-in closet, which is not good.”

"We found some money today, why don't we just buy a house?"

Le Huizhen exclaimed in surprise:
"Honey, do you find money lying around every day?"

Wang Dao chuckled and said:

"I'm so lucky today!"

Le Huizhen rolled her eyes at him:
"You said the same thing yesterday."

She looked up at the tall buildings in front of her and became very anxious.

Where is our home?

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"The eighteenth floor!"

Le Huizhen's eyes lit up:
"How can you still buy a unit on a floor like this?"

Hong Kong people are very superstitious, and naturally, they have a strong belief in anything that can improve feng shui.

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I was just lucky!"

Heaven knows how many tricks Long Fei used to buy these buildings back then; now he's the one who's benefiting.

Wang Dao led Le Huizhen straight to the eighteenth floor. The moment he opened the door, Le Huizhen was stunned:

"This...this is a large, single-level apartment by the sea?"

A large single-level apartment of 1,000 square meters.

Wang Dao shrugged, seemingly unconcerned, and said:
"Otherwise, how can I build you a walk-in closet?"

"Women's shoes, hats, and clothes can be quite troublesome to manage, so this can help you plan a large walk-in closet."

Le Huizhen was almost overjoyed, looking back and forth on the large penthouse.

Although it's a bare shell, the windows and other fixtures are already installed, and you can see Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong skyline from here.

For a moment, she was speechless.

The two stood side by side in front of the window, looking down at the cruise ship and the azure sea, and for a moment they were speechless.

After a long silence, Yue Huizhen finally spoke:
“I have interviewed several wealthy people who have built their companies in buildings by the sea. Of course, the view is not as good as this; only half a window can see the sea.”

"That rich person deliberately used transparent glass so that the view of the sea was clearly visible."

"We can only look on with envy."

"Back then, we were all thinking, when will we be able to live in a mansion like this?"

"Even if we work at the TV station for a lifetime, we probably could never afford a mansion like that."

"I'm not a materialistic woman."

"But I have to admit, I really felt inferior in front of that rich man at that time."

"He wasn't wearing any expensive jewelry or clothes, and his tone wasn't arrogant at all."

"They give us the impression of being high and mighty."

After a long pause, Le Huizhen suddenly shouted loudly,
"Now, I can despise him to my heart's content."

"I now own a better mansion than you ever did, the kind where the entire room has an unbeatable ocean view."

Le Huizhen jumped and shouted, then suddenly hugged Wang Dao tightly and burst into tears.

Wang Dao gently patted her back, stroked her hair, and teased her:

"Should we send her an invitation too?"

Le Huizhen burst out laughing:
"Wouldn't that just be like children arguing?"

"They didn't say anything; it was purely my own feeling."

Wang Dao shrugged:

"That's just how society is. In a money-driven society, people compare themselves to each other, whether it's who lives in a nice house or whose car is beautiful."

"We don't need to compare ourselves with others."

"If you're going to make comparisons, compare yourself to your past self."

"As long as we are better today than yesterday, and better tomorrow than today, then we can be happy to our heart's content."

"The most important thing in life is to be happy."

Le Huizhen gave him a big kiss:
"Thank you, husband!"

Wang Dao gently pinched her nose.
"Alright, you can think about it carefully now, and figure out how to decorate our house properly."

Le Huizhen was startled:
"You've left the house renovation to me?"

Wang Daoli naturally said:
"You're so knowledgeable and worldly-wise, of course the renovations are yours."

Le Huizhen asked:
What is the budget for renovating the house?

Wang Dao nodded:
"Indeed, large apartments are nice, but we have to be realistic about our budget when it comes to decorating them."

Le Huizhen nodded vigorously:

"Now that we have the house, we can take our time with the renovations."

"As long as we both work hard, we'll be able to save enough money for the renovation sooner or later."

Wang Dao thought for a moment and said:

"Right now, I only have about three million yuan available; any more would affect my cash flow."

Le Huizhen was stunned for a moment:
"How much... how much?"

Wang Dao looked at her, puzzled.
"Around three million."

Le Huizhen pounded on his fists.

"You're so annoying, always making fun of me."

"Three million is more than enough to renovate this house!"

"I never imagined the renovation costs would be three million."

The kingly way disagrees:

"With such a large space, I'm afraid three million wouldn't be enough!"

Le Huizhen sneered:

“I was thinking of having you do the renovations, but now I’ve decided I want to do it myself.”

"You really have no idea about the home renovation market."

Wang Dao was completely lost; he truly had no idea what to do with it.

Le Huizhen said happily:
"Three million is more than enough."

"I was just thinking of using all the money I had saved and the money you gave me to make up for it."

"It seems we don't need to anymore."

The kingly way disagrees:

"No need for that. I'll have the money once I sell my stocks."

Le Huizhen exclaimed in surprise:
"You also bought stocks?"

Wang Dao casually remarked:
"I bought some Hongkong Land shares, and I plan to sell them for five dollars!"

Lok Wai-chun asked curiously:

"How much did you buy?"
