Hong Kong Entertainment 1979: A Beating Up the Manager at the Start

Chapter 159 Strange Art Style

After Shi Nansheng left, the office returned to its previous state.

Ye Qianwen reads a sentence, and Li Jiangbo repeats it.

The sound of reading aloud came from the office, which seemed completely out of place with the name of Time Pictures, especially the name of the general manager's office.

But Li Jiangbo didn't think that way; his thoughts had already wandered off somewhere else.

Because today Ye Qianwen is wearing a little black suit jacket and a floral collared shirt.

And that tight-fitting pencil skirt paired with black stockings—it's practically every man's ultimate dream.

Li Jiangbo felt like he had seen this scene somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.

Ye Qianwen was also very nervous, even though she had been teaching Li Jiangbo English for a week.

She usually dresses normally, but yesterday before leaving get off work, Xu asked her to wear an outfit similar to that of a Hong Kong teacher. He said he wanted her to audition and see if he could find her a role.

Ye Qianwen was quite happy to hear the news. So, she specially imitated the style of the Hong Kong teacher today.

When Ye Qianwen arrived at the company, she discovered that Xu Jing hadn't come today.

Helpless, I had no choice but to wear this outfit to teach Li Jiangbo.

Actually, Li Jiangbo deserves some credit for Lao Xu's absence.

When Li Jiangbo saw that Lao Xu had some feelings for Ye Qianwen, he was afraid that Lao Xu would cause trouble for her, so he directly complained to Shi Nansheng about Xu Jing.

Poor Xu was forced to stay home and write scripts by Shi Nansheng.

Just as Li Jiangbo was lost in thought, Ye Qianwen came up to him and knocked on his desk.

"Boss, what are you thinking about?"

Li Jiangbo suddenly snapped out of his daze and stammered, "No... I wasn't thinking about anything."

Ye Qianwen nodded, "You must study hard and repeat after me."

Li Jiangbo nodded and continued reading along with Ye Qianwen.

Five minutes later, Li Jiangbo finally realized what was happening.

Isn't this just like going to school?

Look at Ye Qianwen's outfit, then look at the tone of her voice just now, and then look at my own reaction.

This is exactly how I looked when I was in school!

But the art style seems a bit strange; it's supposed to be a school style, but it doesn't quite look like one.

In mainland China, which teacher would wear this outfit to give a lecture?

Look around, then look at your teacher, then look at yourself.

Li Jiangbo blurted out, "Teacher Daqiao!"

Ye Qianwen was startled by Li Jiangbo's voice. When she turned around, she saw that Li Jiangbo had suddenly stood up and a certain part of his body was bulging.

A blush crept across her face, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Boss, I'm not Da Qiao, I'm Ye Qianwen!"

Li Jiangbo sat down awkwardly, shaking his head to clear his mind of all the lewd thoughts.

When Li Jiangbo started teaching Ye Qianwen, the style of teaching changed.

His long hair covered the corners of his eyes, and his strong, well-built body made him look nothing like a teacher.

It feels a bit like Brother Hao Nan is teaching a pretty young girl to be bad.

This scene is completely different from the previous one!

The two studied for an entire afternoon, all thanks to the fact that Li Jiangbo didn't have much to do today.

During this time, Zhao Yazhi and Pan Yingzi came by, got Li Jiangbo to sign something, and then left.

However, the moment the door closed, a look of disappointment appeared on their faces.

By 6 p.m., the two were exhausted from studying.

Li Jiangbo rubbed his temples to relax.

"Boss, I'll head back to my dorm now?"

Li Jiangbo nodded, then suddenly remembered something, "How about we grab a bite to eat together?"

Ye Qianwen nodded without saying a word.

The two left the company and took a walk on Broadcast Drive.

Although it's almost October, night still comes quite late in Hong Kong.

The setting sun had long since faded, but the sky was still bright.

Ye Qianwen walked beside Li Jiangbo and asked, "Boss, where shall we eat?"

Li Jiangbo chuckled, "Everyone's off work, why are you still calling me 'boss'?"

Ye Qianwen tilted her head to look at Li Jiangbo and asked with a smile, "What's it called?"

"Call me Brother Bo!"

Ye Qianwen said "Oh," and then asked, "Where should we eat?"

"What do you want to eat?" Li Jiangbo asked in return.

"Western food?"

Li Jiangbo snapped his fingers. "Alright! Let's have Western food then."

The two chatted and laughed as they arrived at a Western restaurant, which was bustling with activity at the time, mostly filled with upper-class people and a group of foreigners.

Li Jiangbo wasn't intimidated and led Ye Qianwen inside.

After the two sat down, Ye Qianwen picked up the menu with practiced ease and said, "Waiter."

A short while later, a waiter wearing a vest and a bow tie came over.

"What would you two like to eat?"

Ye Qianwen spoke fluent English without hesitation.

This left the waiter standing nearby stunned, waiting for Ye Qianwen to finish speaking.

He then realized what was happening and quickly wrote down the dishes.

Ye Qianwen handed the menu to Li Jiangbo, "Brother Bo, what would you like to eat?"

Li Jiangbo took the menu, casually ordered a steak and red wine, and then handed the menu to the waiter.

Li Jiangbo hadn't eaten Western food much before; he usually ate there with his woman, and they always ordered the same thing, this time being no exception.

He always felt that the food here was ridiculously expensive, and that a bowl of noodles was much more satisfying.

After all the dishes were served.

Ye Qianwen skillfully used a fork in her left hand and a knife in her right. With nimble movements, she cut a small piece from the steak, put it in her mouth, and squinted her eyes slightly as she savored it.

After finishing the food in his mouth, he said with satisfaction, "It tastes good, the steak is cooked just right."

Li Jiangbo tried to imitate her, but unfortunately, when he was cutting the steak, he didn't hold the knife properly and scraped it across the plate, making a sizzling sound.

He scratched his head awkwardly, wanting to ask the waiter for a pair of chopsticks, but found Ye Qianwen staring at him with a slight smile on her lips.

"Brother Bo, do you not eat Western food much?"

Li Jiangbo grunted in agreement and prepared to call the waiter over to ask for a pair of chopsticks.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Qianwen pushed her pre-cut steak in front of Li Jiangbo and then pulled Li Jiangbo's steak over to cut it again.

This action made Li Jiangbo swallow his words. He picked up his fork and began to eat.

The two ate and chatted, and soon finished their steak.

Ye Qianwen patted her belly and said contentedly, "I'm full! It tasted pretty good."

Li Jiangbo also put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and raised his wine glass.

Cheers!

Cheers!

The two men's glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound.

We chatted for a while longer, until it was completely dark.

Li Jiangbo stood up. "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Ye Qianwen followed Li Jiangbo out of the Western restaurant.

"Let's go for a walk to digest our food."

Li Jiangbo nodded and followed Ye Qianwen toward the apartment.

How long did you stay in Australia?

"It's been over ten years. I grew up there."

No wonder your English is so good.

"Hehe, Brother Bo, your Cantonese isn't bad either!"

The Western restaurant was not far from Ye Qianwen's dormitory; it took less than five minutes to get to her dormitory building.

"Brother Bo, thank you for today."

"What are you thanking me for? I should be thanking you for teaching me English."

Ye Qianwen smiled and turned to go upstairs, but stopped after taking only a few steps.

"Brother Bo, would you like to come up and sit down? I'll cook you some noodles; you probably haven't eaten enough."

Li Jiangbo looked at the smile on Ye Qianwen's face and nodded subconsciously.

"good!"
