The woman only spoke when the elevator started to descend.
"Don't be discouraged, you're a great actor, you'll make it big sooner or later!"
Fa-zai was a little surprised, not expecting a female celebrity he wasn't very familiar with to suddenly say that to him.
He was inexplicably moved and quickly responded.
"Thank you, your acting was great too!"
As soon as he said that, Fa-zai suddenly remembered that the other person was famous for his revealing films. He immediately felt it was inappropriate and tried to take it back, but he didn't know how. He explained somewhat anxiously.
"I...I didn't mean that, I'm sorry!"
The woman opposite him chuckled and shook her head with a smile.
"It's okay, I understand!"
After the woman replied, she fell silent again. Fa-zai was also a little embarrassed, his face flushed, and he didn't know what else to say to ease the tension.
But then, the elevator doors dinged, and we arrived at the first floor!
The woman, dragging her suitcase, stepped out of the elevator first, followed by Fa-zai, each dragging their own suitcase. The two walked one after the other to the main entrance.
The woman appeared to be waiting for a car, standing at the gate.
Fat then put down his suitcase, took the key, found the manager, and handed the key to him.
The manager didn't say much, just nodded and turned to leave.
Fa-zai returned to the main gate, dragging two suitcases, and stood by the roadside, looking into the distance with a somewhat blank expression. For a moment, he didn't know where he should go or what to do!
The woman standing behind him had been observing Fa-zai. She had recently heard about Fa-zai's situation and suddenly felt some pity for the man in front of her. He hadn't even had the bandage on his head removed yet, and he had already been kicked out of the company. It was really pitiful!
The woman suddenly spoke from behind.
"Fa-zai, if you have any difficulties and I can help, just let me know!"
Upon hearing the voice, Fa-zai quickly turned around and saw that it was a woman's voice. After a moment of inner turmoil, he finally shook his head with a wry smile and said...
"It's nothing. Maybe I'm just not cut out for acting. By the way, are you going to film a movie?"
Seeing Fa-zai's reaction, the woman opposite him didn't say anything more. After all, the two weren't very familiar with each other. She nodded in response.
"Yes, the company is going to the Lion Kingdom to film a movie. We'll be shooting there for about a week. I'll head to the airport in a bit!"
Fa-zai nodded somewhat dejectedly and didn't say anything more.
After a while, he suddenly touched his injured head and suddenly remembered something.
"The Lion Kingdom? It seems I've forgotten something?"
Just then, the manager's voice came from behind.
"Fa-zai, here's a letter for you. I almost forgot about it, I just remembered!"
As he spoke, the manager walked up to Fat and handed him a rather thick letter.
Fa-zai took the thick envelope somewhat blankly and carefully looked at the return address, which was from somewhere in the Lion Kingdom.
Suddenly, Fa-zai had a thought, as if he remembered something, and quickly prepared to tear open the envelope.
Just then, a minivan slowly drove up from a distance and stopped in front of him.
Fa-zai stopped what he was doing and watched as an assistant and a driver got out of the car. One of them helped the woman carry her luggage, while the other opened the back door and let her get in.
The two didn't say goodbye. They weren't familiar with each other to begin with. They just glanced at each other and gave each other a smile.
Fat then remembered the envelope in his hand and quickly tore it open.
As soon as it was torn open, a card made of a special material appeared inside, which clearly read, "Invitation to Mr. Liu Defa to attend Mr. Bai Jiaxuan's 100th birthday celebration!"
Besides the card, there was also a round-trip ticket inside, which clearly stated that it was for first class and that there was no time limit for boarding.
Upon seeing the contents of the envelope, Fa-zai was completely stunned. He finally remembered the phone call from a week ago...
While he was still in shock and confusion, the van in front of him had already closed its doors, and the driver was starting the car, preparing to leave.
Still in a daze, Fa Zai suddenly remembered that the person from earlier was going to the airport, and it seemed that the other person was also going to the Lion Kingdom.
Remembering that he only had eighty dollars on him, which probably wouldn't even be enough for a taxi, Fa Zai gritted his teeth and ran forward to knock on the window. The car slowly glided forward, the window opened, and a woman with a puzzled look appeared.
Fat Chow quickly replied with a simple and honest smile.
"Excuse me, could I hitch a ride? I'm also going to the airport, and it's on my way there!"
Chapter 71: Respected Mr. Liu Defa!
And so, Fat managed to get a ride.
No one spoke in the car as it slowly drove toward the airport.
On the bus, Fa-zai was still caught up in his own internal struggle. He had acted impulsively just now, and now he was vaguely regretting it.
After all, he was penniless now. Even if he had a free round-trip ticket, how would he find accommodation and food in the Lion Kingdom?
You can't just grovel and ask someone to provide you with everything you need for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, can you?
However, he also had a vague sense of anticipation for this trip. There were too many troubles in Hong Kong these days, and he really needed to go on a trip to clear his head, especially since there were free round-trip tickets.
Fa-zai was momentarily confused and conflicted, and he didn't even have time to thank the woman who had accompanied him to the airport.
The woman noticed Fa-zai's unusual behavior. Although she was curious about why he suddenly wanted to go to the airport, she didn't ask because it was his private matter.
And so, amidst his internal struggle, Fa-zai finally arrived at the airport in the van.
After getting off the car, Fa-zai looked at the gates leading into the airport, then turned back to look outside.
For a moment, Fa-zai hesitated, wondering what he should do.
But even if I go back, where can I go?
The woman's luggage was being pulled by her assistant, and they were about to enter the airport. The woman turned around and glanced at Fa Zai, who was still looking bewildered, and called out to him.
"See you later! I'm heading to the airport now!"
Fa-zai was still confused and conflicted when the woman turned and left. Only then did he belatedly realize that he wanted to respond to her, but when he saw that her figure had already disappeared, his open mouth closed again.
Fa-zai, carrying two suitcases, stood for a long time before finally sighing and dragging his two suitcases into the airport.
There was nothing I could do. I only had eighty yuan left, not even enough for the fare back home. Where else could I go?
Since we're already here, let's make the best of it and treat it as a relaxing trip to the Lion Kingdom!
Fa-zai finally had an idea. As soon as he entered the airport, he heard an announcement that the flight to the Lion Kingdom was about to take off and that passengers who had not yet boarded should proceed to a certain boarding gate.
Upon hearing the announcement, Fa-zai quickly grabbed his two suitcases and hurried through the security checkpoint. Following the instructions, he pulled his two suitcases, sweating profusely, and finally arrived at the boarding gate in front of the plane just before takeoff.
At the boarding gate, a flight attendant looked at Fa-zai, who was pulling two suitcases and panting heavily, and couldn't help but show a hint of annoyance on her lips. She hated passengers who rushed to the gate at the last minute before boarding time.
But her professionalism compelled her to give a professional smile, make a gesture to Fa-zai, and then ask with a smile.
"Sir, please show your personal identification and flight ticket information!"
Panting, Fa-zai hurriedly apologized while searching for his personal identification documents. However, he realized that his documents were already in his suitcase. He quickly put down his suitcase, bent down, opened it, and began rummaging through it.
The boarding gate was already closing, and the announcements, along with the arrival of several flight attendants, made Fa-zai even more anxious.
He was covered in sweat, but his suitcase was full of messy clothes and personal belongings, which had been rummaged through the entire aisle.
Several flight attendants around him looked displeased, and some passengers also stood up and looked toward the boarding gate.
The actress, who had just sat down and closed her eyes to rest, also noticed something was wrong. She turned her head and glanced at the boarding gate.
Fa-zai searched for several minutes, but still couldn't find his ID. He became increasingly anxious and flustered, and his forehead was covered in sweat.
A flight attendant standing nearby finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked Fa-zai, who was still rummaging through things with his butt sticking out, in an unfriendly tone.
"Sir, it's time to board. If you can't find your documents, you can go to the counter to change your flight and take the next available flight."
Fa-zai finally remembered that he had a second suitcase. His mind was buzzing, and his anxiety made him oblivious to the flight attendant's unfriendly tone. He violently opened the second suitcase, completely ignoring the flight attendant's advice.
When the flight attendants saw that Fa-zai was about to open his second suitcase to search for something, they became a little anxious and quickly tried to stop him.
"Sir, sir, our takeoff time is almost here. Would you please leave now?"
The zipper on the second suitcase was malfunctioning. The flight attendant's words left Fa-zai in a state of shock. He frantically pulled on the zipper, but couldn't open it no matter what he did. He raised his head with a ferocious expression and shouted at the flight attendant.
"I really brought my ID, really, you have to believe me! Believe me, I'll find it right away!"
The flight attendants had completely lost their respect for the aircraft. While loudly advising them to stop, one of them hurriedly ran into the cabin to call for help.
Inside the airplane cabin, many passengers were making noises of dissatisfaction, and many onlookers stood up and looked over.
The actress vaguely heard a somewhat familiar voice and spoke to her assistant beside her.
"Awang, go and see what's going on?"
The assistant reluctantly got up and went over to check.
The assistant glanced over and saw that it was the man who had just been traveling with her. The white bandage on his head was still on, and he was currently bent over, struggling with his suitcase. The assistant couldn't help but show a displeased expression. He turned around and went back to his seat to tell the actress what was going on.
When the actress heard that it was Chow Yun-fat, she was also a little surprised. Why would Chow Yun-fat go to the Lion Kingdom?
Just as she was wondering whether she should go and help him out, the flight attendant who had just run to call for help led two men in that direction.
Upon seeing this, the actress stopped getting up and waited for the staff to resolve the situation.
Soon, a flight attendant led a man dressed as a pilot and a male flight attendant over.
The two men frowned as they looked at the chaotic aisle. The captain angrily shouted at Fat.
"Sir, it's time for our departure. Please pack your luggage and leave. You can rebook for the next flight!"
Fa-zai was almost in tears from anxiety; this was the first time in his life he had encountered such an embarrassing situation.
Normally, given his temperament and personality, he wouldn't be so impatient, but after a series of setbacks and being penniless, he really wanted to take off and leave this place immediately.
Surrounded by several flight attendants and urged on by the announcement, his rationality gradually crumbled. It wasn't until the captain and a male flight attendant pulled him by the shoulder that he finally realized how out of control he had become!
He offered almost no resistance before being pulled up by the flight attendants, who then somewhat disdainfully stuffed his scattered clothes and belongings back into his suitcase.
Just then, a flight attendant pulled up a pair of pants, and an ID card fell out of the pocket.
That was Fat Chow's personal identification.
Fa-zai, who had been somewhat numb and bewildered, suddenly brightened up when he saw his ID. He picked up the ID from the ground and excitedly shouted to the others.
