Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 551 Becoming a Human Again
To Lin Daoqiu, 5 yuan is just a drop in the bucket.

But this amount of money is a huge sum of money to Wu Mengda.

What he really couldn't understand was that it was only the first time Lin Daoqiu met him, so why should he help him pay off his debts?
If it was two years ago, when he had just finished performing "Chu Liuxiang", when he was popular, perhaps Wu Mengda wouldn't find it strange.

But now his reputation has been so bad that even the guys on the set who play tricks look down on him.

Wu Mengda couldn't figure out how a high-ranking and important person like Lin Daoqiu would come to him on a special trip and help him pay off his debts.

Originally, those loan sharks were about to beat up Wu Mengda and give him a good lesson.

But after getting the money from Fang Jinsheng, their previously fierce expressions suddenly became very amiable.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin... Thank you, Mr. Lin."

A few of them smiled and thanked Lin Daoqiu with fists. After all, they were able to get back the money. In their opinion, it was almost impossible to get back the money. It was a surprise.

"Okay, you can leave now, remember to send the IOU to New Oriental Company tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we will deliver the IOU to your company on time tomorrow."

Lin Daoqiu didn't plan to chat with them, he waved his hand, and those people left immediately without looking back.

Now that the money has been obtained, Wu Mengda's life or death has nothing to do with them.

"Uncle Da, do you have time? I have something I want to talk to you about."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wu Mengda nodded immediately, as if worried that the other party would change his mind.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I don't have anything now, but I have plenty of time."

He has nothing to lose now, and if he can get Lin Daoqiu's appreciation, then he will be a big turnaround.

Lin Daoqiu just smiled, and then the two entered his Rolls Royce together.

After getting in the car, Wu Mengda sat upright, not daring to fill up his buttocks, and only took half of the seat.

Now Lin Daoqiu has not only become his creditor, but the other party is still someone who can pull him out of hell. No wonder Wu Mengda treats him so cautiously.

"I heard that Uncle Da's condition is not very good recently?"

Lin Daoqiu was asking knowingly. Wu Mengda's current situation is not only bad, but this situation has lasted for more than a year.

But it was all because of his own death, no one else could be blamed, so Wu Mengda had nothing to complain about.

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Lin, I was bankrupt before, and now I can't even find a job. I haven't acted in TVB for a long time."

Wu Mengda said that the more uncomfortable he felt, he still kept an embarrassed smile on his face.

After I gained some fame, I was defiant, thinking that I was very smart and had great acting skills.

Then he was always late, didn't concentrate on acting, and then became addicted to gambling. As a result, he lost all his savings and owed usury.

To be honest, no matter who these things happen to, I'm afraid they will be considered hopeless.

"Some people say that at fifty you know your destiny. Uncle Da is only 28 years old this year. There is still a lot of time to save. It depends on whether you are willing to do it or not."

In fact, Wu Mengda is only 7 years older than Lin Daoqiu. He always calls Da Shu Da Shu, which makes Wu Meng Da feel a little twisted.

But he didn't dare to correct Lin Daoqiu, so he had to let the other party call like this, anyway, as long as Lin Daoqiu was happy.

"I have really changed my mind completely. I have sworn that I will never gamble again. I want to start a new life, but I have never been able to get a chance. They all think that I am hopeless, and that I must be rich. Will take it for a gamble."

Wu Mengda is actually very helpless. He has completely quit gambling since he went bankrupt, but no one believes that he can quit gambling at all.

Everyone felt that a person like him would only be a gambler in his life.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't come from time travel, I'm afraid he wouldn't think that Wu Mengda was really good enough to change his mind and start a new life.

"I don't know about the others, but I believe in Uncle Da. I believe you can quit gambling and start a new life."

During this period of time, except for his wife, no one has ever talked to him like this, and everyone else regards him as a piece of shit.

So when Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wu Mengda looked at the other party in shock. He didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to believe him.

Because of being too excited, Wu Mengda, whose eyes were flushed, couldn't stop crying.

Quickly wiping his tears with his clothes, Wu Mengda looked at Lin Daoqiu gratefully.

"Thank you Mr. Lin, thank you for your willingness to believe in me, I... I will definitely work hard, and I promise that I will never gamble in the future, otherwise my hand will be cut off."

Wu Mengda didn't know how many times he had made such a poisonous oath before, but for him, such a poisonous oath had no binding force at all.

Although Lin Daoqiu knew that Wu Mengda was telling the truth, in order to prevent his resurgence, he had to help the other party.

"Since Uncle Da said so, I will definitely believe you, but you must remember what you said today. If I find out that you gamble again in the future, then your hands will be lost. I am definitely not joking. "

Wu Mengda, who was still very moved just now, immediately felt a chill rushing from behind when he heard Lin Daoqiu's words.

"This is a ten-year contract, with a salary of 3000 yuan per month, and filming is an additional fee. You can take a look and sign it if you think it's okay."

When he came, Lin Daoqiu had already prepared a contract.

Although the salary of 3000 yuan is not much, it is definitely enough to maintain the daily expenses of a family.

Wu Mengda took the contract handed over by Lin Daoqiu without even looking at it, and signed his name in a hurry.

For him, this contract is simply too lucrative, he just wants to work now, he just wants to make more movies, and then work hard to make money to pay off his debts.

As for the idea of ​​becoming a big star, he has long since left it behind.

"This is 3000 yuan, which is the salary I paid you in advance."

He handed the money to Wu Mengda, but after the other party took the money, Lin Daoqiu suddenly added: "Remember, if you gamble once, your hand will be gone."

After finishing speaking, Lin Daoqiu smiled and patted the other person's shoulder.

After getting out of the car, Wu Mengda stood on the side of the street and watched Lin Daoqiu's car drive away. Until now, he felt that it was just like a dream.

Touching the 3000 yuan in his pocket, Wu Mengda felt that starting today, his unlucky life would come to an end.
