Huayu 2007: Starting with fleecing the "Fairy Sisters"

Chapter 15 Liu Xiaoli's Actions

The next day, in the conference room of the Hengdian VIP Building.

Yuen Ho-ping, the martial arts director for "The Forbidden Kingdom," is holding a meeting with the stunt team.

Below sat the core stuntmen of the Yuen Clan, as well as Jackie Chan and two members of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team.

"Eighth Master, what Golden Swallow did last night, let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing!"

Shu Jian sat to Yuan Heping's right, his tone still tinged with excitement: "That kid Wu Wei is a genius! His kung fu is incredibly solid, and his physical talent is frighteningly good. His jumping ability is amazing; he can jump much higher than the average person from a standing position! He's smart too, and he's only 21 years old. He'll definitely make a name for himself in the future!"

"You think highly of this kid?" Yuan Heping asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's more than just being optimistic!"

Shu Jian leaned forward as he spoke, "Eighth Master, I'd like him to join our Yuan Family Troupe. What do you think?"

Yuan Heping was even more surprised.

This is the first time that Shu Jian, who has followed him for so many years, has ever spoken of wanting someone to join the Yuan family troupe.

"Of course I trust what you recommend."

Yuan Heping looked at Shu Jian and said seriously, "However, joining the Yuan Family Troupe is no small matter. I will personally investigate him when I have time."

"OK!"

Shu Jian readily agreed, his smile practically reaching his ears.

At this moment, Jackie Chan suddenly spoke up: "Wu Wei? Is this kid that good?"

Shu Jian turned his head: "Big brother, you know him?"

"Know."

Jackie Chan nodded, a smile on his face: "He wrote two songs for me yesterday."

"Write a song?"

Shu Jian's eyes widened: "He can write songs?"

"Not only can he write, but he writes exceptionally well."

Jackie Chan's tone was full of undisguised admiration: "I like both songs very much. I will record and release them after filming this movie."

Yuan Heping became interested upon hearing this: "The kid who sang on set last night, was that him?"

"Yes, that's him," Jackie Chan said with a smile.

"This kid... he's quite the all-rounder."

Yuan Heping laughed too: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's get down to business and start the meeting..."

……

After the meeting, the stuntmen left one after another.

Only Yuan Heping and Jackie Chan remained in the meeting room, and the two continued to discuss the filming arrangements for Group A that evening.

Just then, someone knocked on the door a few times.

"Come in."

Liu Xiaoli pushed open the door and walked in, her face bearing her usual polite smile.

"Eighth Master".

She greeted Yuan Heping first, then turned to Jackie Chan: "Brother Jackie Chan."

Yuan Heping looked at her curiously: "Xiaoli, is there something you need?"

"Eighth Master, I need your help with something."

Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly, looking worried: "There's a stuntman named Wu Wei in Group B who harasses our Yifei on set every day! It started when she was an extra in early July, and I've tried everything to stop him but to no avail!"

"He's been working as a stagehand one minute, a food deliveryman the next, and now he's a stuntman! He's trying every trick in the book to get close to our Yifei. Last night, he even tried to grope her under the guise of teaching her some moves."

She took a deep breath, as if trying to compose herself, and said, "Yifei cried when she got home last night. As her mother, I just couldn't bear it anymore!"

"I implore Eighth Master to fire this kid from the stunt team and give our Yifei a better working environment!"

Yuan Heping frowned, feeling very puzzled.

Shu Jian had just been praising that kid to the skies, saying he had designed a perfect move for Liu Yifei, so how come the girl's mother came to complain the moment she turned around?

There must be some things he doesn't know about.

"Is that so?"

Yuan Heping remained noncommittal: "I'll talk to Shu Jian about it later. If it's true, we will absolutely not tolerate it."

Jackie Chan, who was standing to the side, immediately understood after hearing Liu Xiaoli's description.

Could Wu Wei be the same extra who said, "A toad that wants to eat swan meat is a good toad"?

He had heard about this before, since they were in the same production crew, but he didn't know who it was about.

The situation is now clear—Wu Wei wanted to sleep with someone else's daughter, but his mother set her sights on him, which led to the accusations he made earlier.

He had a very good impression of Wu Wei. Those two songs were really well written, truly tailor-made for him, and they touched his heart.

Moreover, judging from Shu Jian's words, he is also very talented in martial arts and is a promising talent.

So he decided to help him out.

As for the so-called "harassment"...

If a young man likes a girl and takes the initiative to get close to her, what kind of harassment is that?

I didn't do anything outrageous.

"Xiaoli, may I say something?"

Jackie Chan looked at Liu Xiaoli and said calmly, "I know that as a mother, you want to protect your daughter, and that's not wrong."

"However, Yifei is an adult now, not a child anymore. Before, when she was a minor, it was indeed necessary for you to be so strict with her, but now... it's a bit too much."

He chuckled as he said, "Who hasn't been young? Everything in excess is bad. If you suppress it too much, it will eventually backfire."

Liu Xiaoli's expression changed.

She didn't expect Jackie Chan to suddenly stand up for that kid.

When did he get involved with Jackie Chan?

"Brother, you may not be aware of the situation."

Liu Xiaoli tried her best to keep her tone calm: "That kid really went too far, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered Eighth Master today."

"I've met this kid, and I don't think he's that kind of person."

Jackie Chan said calmly, "Don't you have some misunderstanding about him?"

Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips but didn't say anything.

At this point, Yuan Heping also realized what was going on.

To put it simply, Wu Wei likes Liu Yifei, and Liu Xiaoli isn't happy about it.

"Sometimes, parents just get so concerned that they lose their way."

Yuan Heping picked up his teacup and said slowly, "It's normal for young people to have things to talk about and to interact more. Don't be too sensitive about it."

Liu Xiaoli's heart sank immediately.

She knew that things were definitely not going to work out today.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Understood, Eighth Master. I'll head out now."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the conference room.

The moment the door closed behind her, her face darkened completely.

She originally thought that coming to see Master Ba this time would definitely get that kid kicked out of the film crew.

Unexpectedly, Jackie Chan appeared out of nowhere.

What exactly is going on?

What is the relationship between that kid and Jackie Chan?

but……

No matter what, that kid has to leave.

If you won't kick him out, then I'll do it myself!
