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

After Li Jiangbo managed to get the four-person group together, he found himself with nothing to do. Look at the mess he's made of.

"Peking Opera Blues" was given to Xu Ke, "Happy Ghost 2" was given to Wang Jing, Leslie Cheung and Teresa Carpio were busy recording albums, and the busiest people in the company were Kwan, Chu, Chung, and Mui.

These four people had to practice singing, perform in "Peking Opera Blues," and have photos taken...

Li Jiangbo was treating these four people like cattle, which angered Miss Guan so much that she almost quit. No matter how others tried to persuade her, it was no use. In the end, it was Li Jiangbo who stepped in and resolved the situation.

This is how Li Jiangbo tricked Miss Guan: "Jiahui, after I'm done with this busy period, I'll show you a treasure."

Miss Guan's eyes lit up when she heard the word "treasure," and she hurriedly asked Director Li what it was.

Unfortunately, Director Li wouldn't let her go, insisting that she could only see the baby after she finished her work.

This piqued Miss Guan's curiosity, and she has been training much more diligently these past few days in order to see her baby.

10 pm.

When Li Jiangbo opened the door with his key, the living room light was still on.

Zhao Yazhi, dressed in pajamas and with something on her face that was unclear, sat on the sofa looking through a report.

Li Jiangbo changed his shoes, took off his coat and hung it on the clothes rack, and sat down next to Zhao Yazhi.

"Still not asleep?"

Zhao Yazhi didn't even lift her eyelids, but shifted her position slightly to keep a certain distance from Li Jiangbo.

Li Jiangbo got used to it. Ever since the incident in the office where Zhao Yazhi and Pan Yingzi were fighting over a man, Zhao Yazhi would ignore him when she got home and wouldn't even let him go to bed.

In this situation, Li Jiangbo knew that Zhao Yazhi already knew about his relationship with Pan Yingzi.

He didn't indulge Zhao Yazhi and drove directly to Pan Yingzi's house, where he spent the night for three consecutive nights.

As a result, Sister Pan hasn't been to work for the past few days and has to walk while holding onto the wall. If she were to go to the company, wouldn't she be laughed at behind her back?

Li Jiangbo is back today to confront Zhao Yazhi.

After all, this can't go on forever. It's too painful to be unable to go home.

After a moment of silence, Li Jiangbo broke it.

"Sister Zhi."

Zhao Yazhi turned a page of the report and did not respond.

"Let's talk."

Zhao Yazhi paused in her work of flipping through reports, closed the folder, and sat up straight.

"I presume you already know about me and Sister Pan. I'm not the kind of man who would remain chaste for one person..."

At this point, Li Jiangbo couldn't continue.

Zhao Yazhi collapsed onto the sofa, her face already streaked with tears.

Her fears came true.

When Li Jiangbo signed Rosamund Kwan and Cherie Chung, she worried that she wouldn't be able to keep Li Jiangbo.

What she never expected was that Li Jiangbo was dating a middle-aged woman eight years her senior! This was something she absolutely could not tolerate.

Li Jiangbo tried to hug Zhao Yazhi, but she pushed him away.

Zhao Yazhi murmured softly, "I'm twenty-eight this year, divorced, and have a child. Before I met you, I planned to focus on acting and raise my child. But now? For you, I've given up my child."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "You dragged me onto your ship, you said you needed me, you said Time Pictures couldn't survive without me, and I believed you."

Li Jiangbo remained silent; he didn't know how to speak or express himself.

Without waiting for Li Jiangbo's explanation, Zhao Yazhi continued, "Now I've given up acting to focus on managing your company. Finance, administration, theater distribution, artist management—I'm handling all of that..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Yazhi choked up and couldn't say anything more.

Li Jiangbo remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.

"Sister Zhi, I admit I'm greedy, selfish, and fickle; I only bring others into my life. If you want to leave me, just tell me, and I won't force you."

Zhao Yazhi lowered her head, tore off the dressing on her face, and threw it aside.

She stood up, leaving Li Jiangbo with her back turned, and walked alone to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Five minutes later, she went to the bedroom.

"Li Jiangbo, I'm twenty-eight this year."

"Sister Zhi!"

Zhao Yazhi opened the bedroom door without turning her head.

"Zhao Yazhi!"

"Do you think that just because I'm divorced and have children, I should be grateful to you?

"I didn't..."

"Do you think I have nowhere else to go but to die in this house and the spot you've arranged for me?"

Zhao Yazhi suddenly turned around and roared with all her might.

Li Jiangbo took a step forward.

Zhao Yazhi retreated into the bedroom. "Don't come any closer! Go find your Pan Yingzi, Guan Jiahui, find the women you think are willing to be devoted to you! This isn't a shelter!!"

Without wasting any words, Li Jiangbo went straight up and hugged Zhao Yazhi.

Zhao Yazhi punched and kicked Li Jiangbo, clenching her fists and pounding his chest repeatedly.

"What right do you have... what right do you have...?"

Li Jiangbo didn't say anything, he just silently endured it.

After a long time, Zhao Yazhi got tired of fighting and collapsed into Li Jiangbo's arms.

At this moment, Li Jiangbo finally spoke, "Sister Zhi, you will always be my first woman, and I will give you the best!"

After saying that, Li Jiangbo kissed Zhao Yazhi's forehead.

Zhao Yazhi trembled, her whole body shaking.

Li Jiangbo's gaze fell on Zhao Yazhi's thin lips again, and the next moment, he kissed her without hesitation.

Zhao Yazhi began to dodge left and right, but when Li Jiangbo kissed her lips, she knew that she would never escape Li Jiangbo's grasp for the rest of her life.

The two kissed their way from the bedroom door to the bed.

The more intimate the relationship, the fewer clothes are worn.

A long, long time later...

When the bed stopped creaking, the two of them fell asleep naked in each other's arms.

It's passed.

In the end, Zhao Yazhi did not leave Li Jiangbo.

The next day, Zhao Yazhi fell ill.

All the affairs of Time Pictures fell on Li Jiangbo's shoulders, and only then did Li Jiangbo realize the importance of Zhao Yazhi.

Faced with a constant stream of people asking him for signatures, Li Jiangbo could only deal with them painfully.

But he was happy inside. After three hours of hard work last night, he finally managed to appease Zhao Yazhi.

When Pan Yingzi came to see him, Li Jiangbo threw the appointment letter he had personally signed at her.

Pan Yingzi was overjoyed as she held the appointment letter.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked jokingly, "Boss, did you manage to win over Ah-Zhi?"

Li Jiangbo rubbed his forehead. "Okay! You take this seat and help me manage the artists the company has signed. Hurry up and contact the head of the cultural center; Xu Ke's side is almost ready."

"Understood, boss. I'll contact them right away."

Li Jiangbo suddenly remembered something and called out to Pan Yingzi, who was about to leave.

"Take some time to set up a shell company in Australia."

Pan Yingzi looked at Li Jiangbo with a puzzled expression. "Is the company going to develop in that direction?"

Li Jiangbo shook his head. "No, I have other plans."

Pan Yingzi nodded, asked no further questions, and turned to leave.

Li Jiangbo looked out the window at Victoria Harbour, pondering something.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Pan Yingzi his true purpose, but rather that the memory of the last simulated information leak was still fresh in his mind.
