So what if I work with celebrities?

Women's affairs are hard for men to understand. After only two days apart, Brigitte Lin, Sylvia Chang, and Hu Huizhong became very close.

As soon as Xu Zan got out of the car, something very strange happened: three girls came over to help him carry his things.

Hu Huizhong kept calling Lin "Sister Lin," while Lin Qingxia kept calling Huizhong "Huizhong." If you didn't know better, you would think the two were best friends!

Xu Zan carried the cardboard box and followed them to the lounge, which was very simple, like a room temporarily converted from an office, with three beds casually placed inside.

The brand-new bedding contrasted sharply with the old, reddish-brown furniture in the room.

"Brother Zan, I'll go wash the fruit!" Hu Huizhong grabbed the cardboard box with both hands and tried to lift it, but it wouldn't budge. He smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Aijia went over to lend a hand, and the two of them carried the cardboard box horizontally out the door.

Lin Qingxia leaned against the desk, observing Xu Zan's expression. "Brother Zan, what made you decide to come see us?"

"Let's see if you're slacking off!"

"How could that be? Look at all three of us, we've all gotten tanned! Teacher Pink Chrysanthemum is very strict; even a little bit off won't do."

"A strict teacher produces outstanding students. She's a very famous Peking Opera teacher. You should learn from her; this is a great opportunity. You'll see how useful it is when you're filming period dramas later."

"Um!"

Lin Qingxia readily agreed.

Xu Zan looked around the room, checking if they needed anything, then opened the lunchbox and said with a smile, "I bought this. I don't know if you'll like it."

"Brown sugar, ginger, and jujube tea. The shopkeeper says it warms the middle burner, dispels cold, and promotes sweating to relieve exterior symptoms. And it's served hot!"

"Coconut chicken soup is warming and invigorating, and it also moisturizes the skin. The coconut juice is sweet and the chicken soup is nourishing, making it suitable for all ages."

"Lychees are out of season, but they taste alright to me."

He imitated her perfectly, repeating it word for word, "We're from Shandong, and we don't know if you're used to drinking Cantonese soup."

Lin Qingxia pursed her lips and smiled, "I like food from all over the world. Cantonese soup should be drunk while it's hot. It has a lot of herbs in it and is very nourishing."

"Ah, you really know your stuff. Go ahead and drink it. You need to replenish your energy after practicing like this every day."

Holding the lunchbox, Brigitte Lin gently sniffed the air. The aroma of coconut mingled with the smell of chicken. Before she could even look up, a spoon scooped up a little soup and brought it to her lips.

Taking a small sip, I tasted the rich chicken broth flavor with a hint of coconut, and there was no earthy taste. "It's delicious, Brother Zan, you should have some too."

Xu Zan took a sip and prepared to leave. "Tell them I have to go see a friend and I'm running out of time."

Lin Qingxia, carrying a lunchbox, returned to the lounge. Hu Huizhong and Zhang Aijia greeted her as she entered.

"Zan-ge is gone?"

"Oh, he said he had an appointment with a friend and didn't have enough time."

"Oh dear, I haven't even eaten the fruit I washed yet!"

Hu Huizhong leaned closer and took a sniff. "Did Zan-ge buy you chicken soup?"

"So many! You bought them for us!" Brigitte Lin opened the lunchbox, revealing three layers containing different kinds of delicious soup.

In this situation, she couldn't keep it all to herself, so she shared the other two boxes of soup with Zhang Aijia and Hu Huizhong, feeling quite pleased with herself.

January is the coldest month in Hong Kong. Yesterday, a cold front hit, and it was very cold; the ground was frosty this morning.

Lin Qingxia sipped the coconut chicken soup, and the chill in her body was dispelled, making her feel much warmer. The lounge was not as warm as the outside.

Over the past few days, she had subtly inquired about Hu Huizhong's intentions, only to discover that Huizhong only considered her as Xu Zan's girlfriend and didn't mind that he had multiple girlfriends.

Sylvia Chang's attitude was also rather ambiguous, only saying that she had a lot of fun hanging out with Hsu Tsan, especially singing "Father's Prose Poems" all day long.

It is said that Xu Zan and Wang Yu met the top courtesan, Guifei, at the Peach Blossom Pavilion Restaurant. Guifei had a tragic background, and Xu Zan even helped her fulfill her father's dream of hearing "Qingshan" sing.

Songs created under these circumstances.

Lin Qingxia lay on the bed, her hand covering her stomach, which felt warm inside, and looked at the old electric fan on the ceiling.

She was very flustered. She disliked Xu Zan's womanizing ways, but she also thought he was a very nice person, mainly because he was very handsome and had a carefree personality.

Hey~

…………

The filming locations for "Jump Ash" were not only in Hong Kong, but also in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Ye Zhiming had just returned from the Netherlands with his film crew. Naturally, he wasn't focused on filming; rather, he was trying to get his brand "bang bang" into the Dutch market.

Of course, I also met with the Chinese community in the Netherlands. The difference between having help and not having help in a foreign country is huge.

Through the introduction of a powerful figure in the underworld, Ye Zhiming met several influential businessmen in the market. The cooperation talks went very smoothly, and the Dutch distributor placed an order worth two million US dollars.

With the coordination of underworld forces, the production crew filmed scenes of street hustling and shooting inside casinos. The success of the shoot was so smooth that even Chui Shui Min and his crew found it unbelievable.

The probability of not being harassed by foreigners abroad is lower than the probability of not getting poisoned after drinking Ganges water.

"Mr. Ye, Xu Zan has arrived in Hong Kong!" someone below said as they exited the Hong Kong airport terminal.

"Oh," Ye Zhiming nodded, patting the passenger seat, "This Director Xu has caused quite a stir."

"Really? Boss, did he shoot another blockbuster?" Chui Shui Min asked.

"Ha, this is much more exciting than filming a blockbuster!" Ye Zhiming recounted the whole story of the robbery of "The Eight Hundred Heroes".

Chui Shui Min was utterly dumbfounded. To break into the police headquarters alone and get in touch with top figures was truly like a golden cudgel stirring up the winds and clouds of the world.

"Then he... is he...?"

"He's still a film review director at the Freedom Association, you should understand what that means!" Ye Zhiming smiled and looked out the window.

At this moment, Chui Shui Min felt that Xu Zan seemed even more powerful than the big boss. Although he was not as rich as Ye Zhiming, power was something that money could not buy.

The Rolls-Royce was parked at a restaurant. When Ye Zhiming got off the plane, he asked his subordinates to arrange for Xu Zan to meet him there.

"Mr. Xu, we've finally met!"

"Please sit down!"

Ye Zhiming invited Xu Zan to sit down and told Chui Shuimin to go out and tell the restaurant to serve the dishes.

"When I first watched your film 'Miss Granny,' I knew you were someone special. I never imagined that you would reach such heights in just one year."

I greatly admire capable people who founded Panda Entertainment, Gunstone Magazine, and Panda Cinemas at the age of 22.

I understand you. You have no connections, you built your empire entirely on your own two fists. When I was your age, I was still wholesaling wigs, I was nowhere near as well off as you!

This legendary figure made millions in the 1960s by speculating on and renting out yachts in Saigon, and then making wigs to sell in America.

He lost everything in the oil business during the oil crisis. In the 1970s, he started with 40,000 yuan in jeans and built a multi-million dollar empire.

It's hard to imagine that such a seasoned figure in the underworld would eventually become a monk.

Xu Zan knew that he had to flatter people to maintain harmony, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, you're too kind."

Who in Hong Kong doesn't know your name now? You're only in your thirties and you've already been featured in the New York Times. You're Hong Kong's newly minted billionaire.

"Haha, let's stop flattering each other. Come on, try this Cantonese restaurant. I dare say it's the best in Hong Kong."

This dinner party was naturally not just a simple meal. Ye Zhiming promised that as long as Xu Zan could bring "Jump Ash" to Taiwan, he would receive 65% of the profits from the show.

Xu Zan didn't mind associating with people from the underworld, let alone someone who could bring in such huge profits.
