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

In the evening, Awei drove Li Jiangbo to Zhu Lin's dormitory building.

As soon as they entered the house, Zhu Lin pulled Li Jiangbo into the kitchen.

"Boss, this is the meat sauce I made. Does it smell good?"

Li Jiangbo took a sniff, then gave a thumbs-up in surprise and exclaimed, "It smells so good!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Boss, let me tell you. I learned this from my mom. It's her specialty."

"It seems you've inherited your aunt's skills."

The two were cooking and chatting in the kitchen when they suddenly heard Rosamund Kwan calling Zhu Lin's name from outside.

"Sister Lin, Sister Lin, what are you doing? It smells so good!"

Before the two of them could leave, Rosamund Kwan had already arrived at the kitchen door.

When Rosamund Kwan saw Li Jiangbo, her eyes widened, and she said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Bo! What are you doing here?"

Linlin invited me to eat Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste).

Rosamund Kwan sniffed and involuntarily looked inside.

"Wow! Sister Lin, you can actually cook?"

Zhu Lin smiled proudly, "Of course, I often cook for my parents back in my hometown and bring the food to them."

The noodles weren't ready yet, but Cherie Chung and Anita Mui came running over because of the aroma.

The two swallowed hard, staring longingly at the three.

When Zhu Lin saw that two more people had arrived, she was at a loss for what to do. She had prepared noodles for three people.

Fearing that Li Jiangbo wouldn't have enough to eat, they prepared an extra portion. Little did they know that the aroma would attract Chung Chuh-hung and Mui Yim-fong from across the table.

It was Li Jiangbo who spoke first, "Is there any food at home?"

All four shook their heads in unison, indicating no.

Li Jiangbo sighed. "Who can go and tell Awei downstairs to go buy some groceries?"

The three who came after them pretended not to hear. The water was boiling, and they were about to go down. If they went down and came back up, they didn't know if there would be anything to eat.

In the end, Zhu Lin stepped forward and said, "I'll go!"

Li Jiangbo nodded, walked to the stove, and turned off the fire.

Upon seeing this, Guan, Mei, and Zhong all began to howl.

"Boss, the rest of the food! I'm starving!"

"Yeah, boss, I want to eat... food!!!"

"I want noodles!"

Li Jiangbo wasn't about to indulge the three of them. Would he let the cook go hungry? That would be ridiculous!

Awei was very quick; he bought the groceries in fifteen minutes and even thoughtfully bought some seasonings.

After receiving the dishes, Li Jiangbo shouted to the four people, "Today I'll let you taste my cooking!"

With a flurry of activity, Li Jiangbo prepared a table full of dishes in no time.

This really exhausted him. Before he became wealthy in his previous life, he always cooked and ate alone, so this little thing was no problem for him.

However, he would be quite happy to serve a few beautiful women.

Just as everyone sat down at the table and was about to start eating, there was another knock on the dormitory door.

"Jiahui, Jiahui, it's Shizai, open the door quickly."

Rosamund Kwan slipped on her slippers and jogged to open the door.

"Where's Amei? Have you seen her?"

Rosamund Kwan subconsciously looked at Anita Mui, who was picking up a green bean with her hand.

It was only then that Leslie Cheung realized that there were many people sitting in the living room, including Li Jiangbo.

"The boss is here too!"

Li Jiangbo greeted her with a smile, "Arong, come in quickly, sit down and have some food."

Leslie Cheung tried to decline, but Anita Mui got up and ran to him, pulling him down to sit.

Of the six, only Zhu Lin, Rosamund Kwan, and Cherie Chung were relatively relaxed in front of Li Jiangbo.

The remaining two sat awkwardly at the dining table.

Before Li Jiangbo could even call for dinner, Chung Chu-hung picked up a piece of braised pork and started chewing it.

"Delicious!" Chung Chor-hung exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up even before she had fully swallowed.

"Brother Bo, your cooking tastes much better than my mom's!"

Li Jiangbo coughed twice. "You can't say that in front of your mother."

"I'm not stupid!"

Li Jiangbo picked up his chopsticks and called out, "Dinner's ready!"

The others couldn't wait to start eating, and after just one bite, they all praised Li Jiangbo's cooking as delicious.

Li Jiangbo was overjoyed to receive the praise.

At the dinner table, no one dared to take Li Jiangbo's food, but they dared to take other people's food.

One moment, Rosamund Kwan and Anita Mui are fighting over a piece of braised pork; the next, Chu Lin and Cherie Chung are fighting over a piece of braised eggplant...

After finishing the meal, everyone slumped contentedly in their chairs.

After dinner, as the hosts of the room, Zhu Lin and Guan Zhilin obediently cleared the table, washed the dishes, and cleaned the room.

Chung Chor-hung, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, and Lee Kong-bo sat on the sofa watching television.

When Rosamund Kwan and Zhu Lin came out, there wasn't enough room on the sofa.

Rosamund Kwan looked at the group of people crammed on the sofa, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

"Let's play a game!"

Li Jiangbo immediately waved his hand, "You guys have fun, I'm leaving first!"

When Rosamund Kwan and Zhu Lin saw Li Jiangbo about to leave, they immediately became anxious, grabbed Li Jiangbo's shoulders, and said unreasonably:

Rosamund Kwan said, "Brother Bo, why are you being such a spoilsport!"

Zhu Lin said, "Exactly, boss, how old are you? You're like an old man, not lively at all."

Li Jiangbo was completely stumped by these two girls.

Yes! He's only 20 years old, which is the perfect time for him to have fun.

"Then what should we play?"

Chung Chor-hung enthusiastically suggested, "Let's play hide-and-seek!"

Li Jiangbo looked around, then spread his hands. "This place is a bit small! There's not much to hide in!"

Anita Mui also suggested with a smile, "Then let's cover our eyes."

The suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone.

Rosamund Kwan pulled out a silk scarf and a deck of cards from somewhere and placed them on the table.

"The person making the catch will wear a silk scarf and count to 30 before making the catch. The person hiding will be in hiding and will not be able to move once the catch begins."

"Those who get caught, well..."

Zhu Lin added, "Singing?"

Anita Mui shook her head in disgust, "I'm afraid you'll kill me. Let's find someone else."

Chung Chor-hung suggested, "How about performing a show?"

This condition was agreed upon by everyone.

After everything was ready, the group drew cards to select the first victim – Mei Yanfang.

When Anita Mui folded the scarf and put it over her eyes, Leslie Cheung chuckled and waved his hand in front of her, saying, "You shouldn't be able to see this, right?"

Annoyed, Mui Yan waved her hand dismissively. "Hey! Get out of the way!"

After making a face at Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung went to find his hiding place.

Anita Mui shouted, "I'm going to start counting!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiangbo also prepared to find a place to hide.

Who knew that Rosamund Kwan would run over and grab Li Jiangbo's sleeve.

"Brother Bo! Come on, let's hide over here."

Then, Li Jiangbo, in a daze, followed Guan Zhilin into hiding.

Once Mei Yanfang finished counting, they began arresting people.

Only then did Li Jiangbo see where everyone was hiding. Chung Chu-hung was hiding next to the refrigerator, blocking their way with a chair, and Zhu Lin had crawled under the dining table.

Only Leslie Cheung didn't hide; he sat carefully on the sofa, afraid of making the slightest noise.

Li Jiangbo thought Zhang Guorong's hiding spot was excellent; it seemed easy to spot, and in fact, it was easy to spot.

As expected, Leslie Cheung was the first to be spotted by Anita Mui.

Then, at everyone's request, Leslie Cheung sang a song.

Now it's Leslie Cheung's turn to arrest people.

When Leslie Cheung put on the scarf, the crowd dispersed in a flurry.

This time, Li Jiangbo decided not to hide with anyone; he planned to hide against a wall.

At that moment, Li Jiangbo's arm was tugged.

"elder brother!!"
