Hong Kong Film Intelligence King

Chapter 353 People from Two Worlds
"Jing, you've really made something of yourself now."

Wang Dalin looked at the chubby boy with a complicated expression.
"I never expected such good fortune."

The chubby boy was a little dumbfounded:
"Dad, I don't understand what you're saying."

"...This is an unexpected disaster for me. Who would have thought that choosing a female lead for a movie would get me beaten up?"

He pointed at Chen Taotao and said,

"Ah Tao, you better vouch for me right now, I didn't go out partying."

Chen Taotao said seriously:

“Uncle, what A-Jing said is right, he really didn’t say anything wrong.”

Wang Dalin smiled and shook his head:

"I know the whole story perfectly well."

“Wang Sheng is known for siding with his relatives regardless of right or wrong. But even so, if you are really in the wrong, Wang Sheng won’t go that far. At most, he’ll just beat you up.”

"The fact is we are in the right, so someone is going to be in trouble."

Chen Taotao was stunned. Should he side with his relatives instead of the people in the right?
So blatant?

"Is he from a gang? He always sides with his own people, regardless of right or wrong."

The chubby boy noticed Chen Taotao's confusion and quickly explained it to him.

"Who in the martial arts world doesn't know that Brother Dao is the most loyal and righteous person?"

"If you have a conflict with someone and you're in the wrong, Brother Dao will ensure you don't suffer a loss; if you're in the right, Brother Dao will let you make a fortune."

"Of course, it's best to avoid conflicts with people when we're free; there's no need for them."

Wang Dalin said coldly:

"If you weren't in the right, and if the Zhongqing Society weren't so ruthless, do you think Brother Dao would have gone to such lengths?"

"You two have really made something of yourselves."

"Because someone beat you up, the top ten gangs in the underworld are gone."

"If Ding Xiaoxie knew the consequences of hitting you would be so severe, I bet he would never have dared to do it!"

"You two have become celebrities in the martial arts world."

"Uncle Liu said that several gangs have remembered your image very well."

The chubby boy asked, puzzled:

Why do you need to remember what we both look like?

"We're not involved in the underworld."

Wang Dalin said irritably:
"They're afraid that if they provoke you again, their gang will be shut down!"

The chubby boy chuckled.

A smug expression appeared on his face.

Wang Dalin said speechlessly:

What are you so happy about?

The chubby boy chuckled and said:

"The Chung Ching Society went bankrupt because of me."

"My job is called an artist, but I inevitably have to deal with all sorts of people."

"I won't be afraid of those traveling swindlers anymore."

Wang Dalin sighed:
"You loser."

"You should be more careful."

"The Chung Ching Society is gone."

"But can you guarantee that the Chung Ching Society is gone? That the Ding family crabs' friends are all gone?"

The chubby boy's eyes widened:

"Dad, I've found out for sure. The Ding family's crabs are arrogant and domineering."

"They did things that shouldn't have been done."

"Those things are worse than the villains in my movies."

"How can someone like that have friends?"

"I do not believe!"

Wang Dalin almost got so angry that his nose crooked.

"If you weren't injured right now, I would have beaten you so badly you'd end up in a hospital bed."

"Even Qin Hui had three friends, do you dare say the Ding family's crabs have no friends?"

"If the ability to make friends were measured by morality, the world would have been at peace long ago."

"You idiot, when people interact, besides temperament and personality, there's also mutual benefit!"

"You got beaten up and still didn't figure this out. You suffered for nothing."

The chubby boy said in a very serious tone:

"Dad, I disagree with what you said. While it's true that people should consider interests when interacting with each other, it's even more important to treat each other with sincerity."

Wang Dalin almost drew his Seven Wolves sword from his belt to teach the chubby boy a lesson in what "fatherly love as solid as a mountain" truly meant.

How old are you? How can you say such naive things?

Have you learned all the lessons I've taught you from a dog?

Don't you know what people in Hong Kong are like?

If you approach people with this mindset, you'll probably get scammed three times a day.
"Brother Dao is now the richest man in Hong Kong. If what you're saying is true, what benefits can I offer him?"

"The gap between the two of us is greater than the gap between a human and a dog."

"According to you, if I ask someone for help, Brother Dao will actually come to visit me?"

Wang Dalin immediately relaxed.

If we're talking about anything else, the chubby boy is definitely going to have this bamboo shoot and pork stir-fry.

But if we drag Wang Dao into this, hey, the little fat guy will be fine!
Wang Jingjing is right; the current Wangdao is truly unattainable.

Not to mention the father and son, even Wang Dalin's benefactor, Uncle Liu, treated Wang Dao with respect.

What does Wang Dao want from them?
Stop it!
People come to see Wang Jingjing and help her vent her anger; they ask for nothing in return.

It truly is just as the chubby boy said, "treating others as you would like to be treated."

Wang Dalin sighed:
“You’re right, but it’s too much of a fuss to trouble Mr. Wang with such a small matter.”

The chubby boy was extremely upset:
"Dad, this isn't my fault."

"How was I supposed to know Brother Dao was so fierce?"

"Just because I got beaten up, they wiped out that Zhongqing Society!"

"I still can't believe it!"

The father and son both sighed.

Chen Taotao smiled:

“Uncle, Wang Sheng is on a different level than us.”

“What we consider big things might be trivial matters to Wang Sheng.”

The chubby boy nodded repeatedly.

Wang Dalin spoke bluntly to the chubby boy.

"You little rascal, you've actually turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise."

"From today onwards, everyone in Hong Kong will know your name."

The chubby boy pouted:

"I was already quite famous, okay?"

Wang Dalin mocked:

What does a film director's name matter?

"At the end of the day, he's just a movie actor."

"Things are completely different now."

"You and Atao will become real celebrities in the future."

"Everyone in Hong Kong knows that a triad has disappeared because of you."

“You will be true celebrities in Hong Kong.”

"From now on, I'll truly have someone to rely on."

"As long as Wang Sheng doesn't fall, you will all be safe and sound."

"You brat, once you're fully recovered, go and thank Wang Sheng with your wife and kids."

"He can guarantee you a lifetime of wealth and honor."

At this point, Wang Dalin sighed deeply.

There has never been equality between people; in Hong Kong, the rich have always been in charge.

Wang Dalin was already very satisfied that he was appreciated by his sixth uncle and made a trusted confidant.

Little did he expect that his stupid son would be appreciated by the richest man in the country.

The Wang family must be incredibly lucky; their ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke.

Based on this alone, the Wang family can enjoy wealth for three generations.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Dalin gave the following instructions:

“Wang Sheng’s time is very valuable. You should cherish this opportunity and call ahead before you go to visit him.”

The chubby boy asked in astonishment:

"No need, I'll be spending a lot of time with Dao-ge in the future."

Wang Dalin laughed in anger:

“What kind of status does Wang Sheng have? Sixth Uncle said that even if the Governor wants to see Wang Sheng, he has to make an appointment in advance.”

"What makes you so confident that you can meet Wang Sheng so easily?"

The chubby boy said cautiously:

“But Sister Zhen has already invited me to be the general manager of Diamond Channel.”

He then pointed at Chen Taotao and said,

“Wang Sheng also invited Atao to be a senior manager at HSBC.”

"We'll have some time to meet with Wang Sheng in the future... I suppose."

what?
Wang Dalin's eyes widened in disbelief as he said:
"You rascal, you can't just say things like that."

The chubby boy said smugly:

"I'm a real talent."

"Sister Zhen invited me a long time ago."

Wang Dalin asked Chen Taotao:
"Atao, is that really true?"

Chen Taotao quickly nodded in agreement. He was well-mannered and very respectful to his elders.

Wang Dalin clapped his hands suddenly and said:

"I'll go to the Guandi Temple to fulfill my vow later!"

"Although you two got beaten up, you were quite lucky."

"It wasn't for nothing that I got beaten up."

The chubby boy was speechless:
"Dad, we're in a really bad situation."

Wang Dalin disagreed:
"It's just a little physical pain, nothing serious. You're lucky compared to the Chung Ching Society."

"Alright, alright, I need to hurry back to thank the gods and fulfill my vow."

"You two should stay put."

The chubby boy was dumbfounded.

They watched helplessly as Wang Dalin left.

He left!

The chubby boy said to Chen Taotao incredulously:
"Atao, is this my dad?"

"He didn't even try to comfort me?"

Chen Taotao's eyes revealed a hint of envy.
"My uncle is a man of true character."

The chubby boy could only manage a wry smile:
"He's happy that I got beaten up?"

Chen Taotao corrected:

"Uncle is happy for our future."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken time out of my busy schedule to go and offer thanks to the gods."

Wang Dalin is very busy as the head of the production department at TVB Jade. He is usually so busy that he can't even find time to visit his son.

Hearing about this, he immediately went to the Guandi Temple to offer thanks and fulfill his vow, which shows that he was very happy.

Hong Kong people are very devout to the gods.

Guan Yu is also the God of Wealth and the God of Righteous Businessmen, so Wang Dalin put his heart into it.

“Actually, Uncle is right. We two are already lucky enough.” “Compared to us, the Chung Ching Society is gone.”

"What's a little physical pain to us?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

What are you talking about, so happy?

The chubby boy and Chen Taotao looked in the direction of the sound and said in unison:
"Brother Dao (Wang Sheng), what brings you here?"

Wang Dao came in carrying two fruit baskets:

"Two of my generals have been wounded, so I definitely have to come and see them."

"How are you feeling? Any better?"

Chen Taotao said bluntly:

"Wang Sheng, actually we both only suffered minor injuries."

"It's alright."

Wang Dao laughed and said:

"It seems you already know the fate of the Chung Ching Society."

They both nodded.

Because he was beaten up, he angered Wang Dao and was expelled from the Zhongqing Society overnight.

This is such a sensational event!

Wang Dao asked with a smile:
"Don't you think I went a bit too far?"

Chen Taotao and the chubby boy exchanged a glance, and said in unison:
"Nope!"

The chubby boy smiled smugly:

"Brother Dao, because we got beaten up, a big gang just disappeared like that."

"It would be so impressive to tell people about it."

"I reckon Wang Dao will be walking like a crab from now on."

Chen Taotao laughed:
“The Chung Ching Society is no good, and I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.”

"When they are destroyed, all I can do is applaud."

The chubby boy nodded repeatedly.

Wang Dao smiled gently:
"Well said. There is no room for sympathy for such a wicked gang."

"If that's the case, then I'll be disappointed that I helped the wrong person."

Chen Taotao and the chubby boy both shook their heads.

Sympathy groups?

Stop it!
The gang itself is a bully that preys on the weak and fears the strong.

Why should we sympathize with them?

Just because of the statement, "Aren't all the people in the club bad?"

Everyone in Hong Kong knows what kind of organization triads are; who would bother joining one if they had nothing better to do?

They're just being silly.

Wang Dao said to the two of them:
"Actually, one reason for this visit was to check on your recovery, and the other was to tell you some news."

"Chen Wanxian went in."

Chen Taotao was stunned, and for a moment he could hardly believe it:

"Wang Sheng, what do you mean?"

Wang Dao shrugged:

"I will naturally keep my promise to you."

"Chen Wanxian has been apprehended by the Economic Crime Investigation Department."

“It would have been better if the ICAC had intervened, but…”

"The cases investigated by the ICAC all involve Hong Kong people, not a single foreigner. They're seriously biased."

"This time I didn't let the ICAC take action."

"According to the police investigation, Chen Wanxian falsified accounts..."

"unambiguous evidence."

"He will probably be in prison for a while."

Chen Taotao chuckled dryly:

"Is...is that so!"

For a moment, Chen Taotao felt a mix of emotions.

He felt a mix of relief, sadness, and something else he couldn't quite put his finger on.

Wang Dao said to Chen Taotao:

“Atao, I know what you’re thinking. You want to send Chen Wanxian in yourself.”

"It's not difficult to get Chen Wanxian inside..."

Chen Taotao quickly said:

“Wang Sheng, if I were to do this myself, even if I could get him in, it wouldn’t be easy.”

Wang Dao smiled and shook his head:
"It may have been difficult before, but it's not difficult now."

“Remember this: you are the general manager and taipan of HSBC that I have chosen. Your status and position are different now. It will be easy for you to get rid of Chen Wanxian.”

"Once your injuries have healed, you can take up your post."

"You'll find that everything will be different then."

"I'm just reminding you here not to look at the future with your current perspective."

After a pause, Wang Dao continued,

“Chen Wanxian is, after all, your biological father. It’s certainly satisfying to send him in personally.”

"But to be honest, he is still your father."

“I know you hate him, hate him for betraying your mother.”

"However, it's best to avoid such things if possible."

"It would be best if I took him in for you."

"If you still hate him after he gets out of prison, then you can do whatever you want with him."

Chen Taotao said dryly:

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, I understand what you mean..."

The fact that a son personally sent his father to prison is ultimately against human ethics.

Wang Dao knew that this was not a pleasant experience.

Revenge is always an empty dream.

Therefore, Wang Dao never seeks revenge. He settles his scores on the spot and would never be foolish enough to drag it out for ten or eight years.

Wang Dao said to the chubby boy:

"Ah Zhen told me she wants to invite you to be the general manager of Diamond Channel. What do you say, will you accept?"

The chubby boy laughed loudly:

"I couldn't ask for more, Brother Dao."

Wang Dao smiled:
"Okay, do a good job from now on."

"You all take your time to rest. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

The chubby boy and Chen Taotao were about to get up to see them off when Wang Dao stopped them.

The two watched Wang Dao leave, and the chubby boy said to Chen Taotao:

"My dad left a little too early. If he had left later, would he have been able to meet with Brother Dao?"

Chen Taotao sighed:
"Dao Ge is just like your uncle, a very busy man."

"However, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Uncle to meet with Dao Ge."

The chubby boy yelled:
"Of course it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing."

"He can chat and laugh with Brother Dao, even Uncle Liu has to think more highly of my dad, okay?"

Chen Taotao looked at the chubby boy with a strange expression:
"If I remember correctly, you're about to become the general manager of Diamond Channel."

The chubby boy asked blankly:

"What's wrong?"

Chen Taotao laughed:
"There seems to be nothing wrong with it, but have you thought about it?"

“After Diamond Channel is established, it will compete with Jade Channel.”

"The Hong Kong market is only so big, so the two will be in a competitive relationship."

The chubby boy still hadn't realized what was happening:
"Isn't this a normal thing?"

Chen Taotao sighed:
"Does your uncle work at TVB Jade?"

“If Diamond Platform doesn’t improve, that’s fine. But if it does, Uncle’s life will probably be very difficult.”

Ok? !

The chubby boy was taken aback:
"Is that so?"

The matter is obvious.

The father and son both held important positions at different television stations, which created a competitive environment.

It's not good for either of them.

This has nothing to do with family ties; it's purely driven by self-interest.

The chubby boy stroked his chin and said:
"Ah Tao, you're right. I'll let my dad retire and enjoy his retirement later."

Chen Taotao's mouth dropped open:

"Would your uncle agree?"

The chubby boy bluntly stated:

"Of course I'd disagree."

"But what can we do?"

“Miss Fang is not a magnanimous person. If I do well at Diamond Channel, my father will have a hard time.”

Chen Taotao said in astonishment:

"You're really arrogant!"

The chubby boy rolled his eyes:

“Atao, let me tell you, the most important thing in making TV programs is whether you can make money.”

"With money, you can have good ideas; with money, you can have good actors and good costumes and props."

"Without money, nothing can be done."

"Of course, what's even more important is having a knowledgeable leader."

Chen Taotao nodded repeatedly:
"That's right, you really are an expert."

The chubby boy waved his hands vigorously:
I wasn't talking about myself.

Chen Taotao was taken aback and looked at him suspiciously:
"Ah Jing, are you being too modest?"

The chubby boy smiled wryly:

"Don't hurt me."

I was referring to my sister-in-law.

"Back then, my sister-in-law was a famous TVB presenter and a virtual character."

"With her around, there's no need to worry about getting lost on Jade Channel."

"As for money..."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

If you follow Wang, the richest man, will you still lack money?
That's a joke!
With Wangdao's investment, it wouldn't be too difficult for Diamond Platform to develop.

The chubby boy suddenly asked:
"Tao, once we've recovered and started our new jobs, do you think we can be as impressive as Brother Dao?"

Chen Taotao replied without hesitation:

"Don't even think about it!"

"That's almost impossible."

"Dao Ge has that kind of status because of his strength and position."

"As for us... we certainly can't reach his level."

The chubby boy smiled slyly:
"Is this a case of the fox borrowing the tiger's power?"

Chen Taotao was taken aback, thought carefully, and said:

"It's possible that the fox is borrowing the tiger's power."

The chubby boy clapped his hands and said:

"That's not bad either!"
