Life 1984

In the evening, Andy started a new round of filming.

An advertising film only needs to be a few tens of seconds long, but a large amount of footage must be shot and edited.

Especially at night, a lot of lighting and illumination are needed, which takes longer.

The filming didn't end until after eleven o'clock in the evening.

The director looked at the material and felt it was almost done, and the next step was just editing and production to complete the sample film.

Li Yunhai also took a look and thought that what Chen Meilin had predicted was correct. The photos taken at night were more shocking, and the light and shadow effects were also better.

After sending Hua Zai back to the hotel, Li Yunhai and others said goodbye and left.

Along the way, you can see fans chasing their idols.

Even if they can only see their idols from afar, they think it is worth it.

There was a fanatical gleam in the eyes of those female fans.

Seeing Chen Meilin's calm expression, Li Yunhai couldn't help but ask, "Don't you chase stars?"

Chen Meilin smiled and said, "Brother, I am also a fan."

Li Yunhai said: "When I see Huazai, I think you have always been very calm."

Chen Meilin said: "I won't chase him."

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "Didn't you say he was very good? You specially invited him to be your spokesperson. I thought you were his fan!"

Chen Meilin said: "I just think that his image fits the characteristics of our brand. Brother, don't you think so?"

Li Yunhai said: "The footage shot today looks pretty good. Andy has a good sense of the camera and his acting is also outstanding."

Chen Meilin said: "Of course, he is a talented actor."

Li Yunhai asked: "Which star are you chasing?"

Chen Meilin said: "I am chasing you!"

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "I'm very happy that you said that. In your eyes, I'm more attractive than Hua Zai."

Chen Meilin smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to belittle yourself. You are much more charming than Andy. Those fans like Andy's image on the screen and the roles he plays. In fact, they don't know the truth about Andy, nor do they know what kind of person he is in normal times. The fans' love is very blind. But I am different. I am very familiar with you. You are the man I know best. The more I understand you, the more I like you."

Li Yunhai said "oh" and changed the subject: "It's late, do you want to have a midnight snack?"

Chen Meilin brought the topic back and said, "Okay! I'll treat you! You're my idol!"

Li Yunhai took her to a late-night snack shop.

Near Xizhou Gymnasium is the south gate, where there is a famous night market.

Li Yunhai used to come here often for midnight snacks.

I haven't been here for a few years, but there haven't been many changes here. The vendors are doing good business, and there are crowds of people late at night.

However, the shops along the street seem a little unfamiliar.

Except for those old shops that are still there, many shops have changed owners and businesses.

It seems that even in such a prosperous area, not everyone can run a business well.

Li Yunhai picked a shop and sat down with Chen Meilin.

The weather was hot, so the store prepared two fans and placed them outside for the customers to enjoy.

Chen Meilin sat next to the fan, the wind blew up her waist-length hair, and the long black hair fluttered and blew onto Li Yunhai's face.

A light and elegant fragrance penetrated into Li Yunhai's nose.

He sniffed the pleasant aroma and his heart was moved.

Chen Meilin's facial features are incredibly delicate and beautiful, cleaner and more delicate than a porcelain doll, and with rich expressions.

She has fair skin, a pretty face, a tall figure, and fashionable clothes. She is a beautiful sight wherever she goes.

Chen Meilin suddenly turned her head, held her cheek with her hand, looked at Li Yunhai and said, "Brother, do I look good?"

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "Stop being so conceited! You are far behind your mother."

Chen Meilin rolled her eyes and said, "I'm much younger and prettier than my mom, okay? Otherwise, will you keep staring at me?"

Li Yunhai touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I want to ask you, what do you want to eat?"

Chen Meilin said, "It doesn't matter to me! Anything delicious is fine."

Li Yunhai ordered some barbecue and a few stir-fried dishes, and said to Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong who were following behind him, "Order whatever you want to eat, and we'll settle the bill later."

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong didn't hesitate to sit down on the other side and order food.

Chen Meilin looked around and said, "Brother, business here is really good. It's so late, and there are still so many people. It's more lively than our Hong Kong."

Li Yunhai said: "This is the most prosperous and lively street in Xizhou. If you go to other places, there will be no one there. There are also places like this in Xiangjiang, but you don't go out much at night, so you don't know it."

Chen Meilin said, "My mom keeps a tight rein on me. She never lets me go out at night, for fear that I'll be cheated by others! I'm not a child anymore, how can I be cheated that easily? Brother, don't you think so?"

Li Yunhai said: "People's hearts are hard to predict. You are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. If someone poisons the drink you drink, you will be kidnapped after drinking it."

Chen Meilin said, "Alas, it's not as chaotic as you say! In fact, I think it's not that bad! Look at Wu Wenfang, Qiu Shuzhen, Yuan Yongyi and the others, they often go out to play, and no one has ever kidnapped them, nor have they ever suffered any harm."

Li Yunhai asked: "How do you know they haven't suffered losses from others?"

Chen Meilin groaned, blinking her big eyes and asked, "Brother, they haven't really been cheated by men, have they?"

Li Yunhai smiled bitterly.

Because strictly speaking, he should be the one who was deceived.

However, when it comes to love between men and women, it is generally accepted that women suffer.

Therefore, the one-night stand between Li Yunhai and the three beauties can only be described as Li Yunhai sleeping with all three of them.

The barbecue and dishes were served soon.

Chen Meilin picked up the chopsticks, picked up a shrimp, handed it to Li Yunhai, and said, "Brother, you eat first."

Li Yunhai said, "I'll do it myself." Chen Meilin said, "My mother taught me that when a man is around, you must let him eat first. This is a sign of respect for men! My mother worked hard to cultivate this habit in me, so don't ruin it!"

Li Yunhai burst out laughing and had to eat the shrimp she fed him.

As soon as the shrimp entered his mouth, Li Yunhai felt that the taste was not right, so he quickly spit it out, called the boss over, and said, "Boss, your shrimps are not fresh!"

The shop owner was a fat, white, middle-aged man, shirtless, with a towel draped over his shoulders to wipe the sweat off his face.

Doing this business in the summer, sitting by the fire all the time, is really hot.

The shop owner came over with his big belly swinging, and said, "How can it be not fresh? Our shrimps are all purchased on the same day, and every one of them is fresh!"

Li Yunhai thought he was unlucky and had eaten a shrimp with a strange smell, so he picked up another one to try, and spat it out again, saying, "Boss, this restaurant is not authentic! You are fooling customers with a plate of dead shrimps?"

The shop owner shook his face with fat on his face and said, "If you like it, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, leave! Why are you talking so much nonsense? How can I serve you shrimp if I don't kill it first? You may not want to eat live shrimps?"

Li Yunhai said, "Boss, this is a bit unreasonable, isn't it? If the shrimps were alive before you cooked, then this dish would definitely be fresh. But if you use shrimps that were already dead, or even frozen shrimps, then you should tell us clearly. These two kinds of shrimps have completely different tastes and different prices!"

Chen Meilin also tasted it, spit it out on the table, and said, "You really can't eat it! Dead shrimps will produce toxic substances such as histamine, which can easily cause food poisoning!"

There were two tables of people next to them who had just arrived and were ordering food. When they heard this, they all stood up and left silently.

The shop owner saw this and immediately got furious. He pointed at Li Yunhai and the others and said, "Get out of here! Who has fresh shrimp for you? You keep complaining while eating a dish! All we sell on this street is frozen shrimp. So many people eat them every night, but no one dies from eating them."

Li Yunhai threw his chopsticks down and said in a deep voice: "I am talking to you rationally, why do you start cursing? We really don't want to eat this dish, let's go!"

Chen Meilin also put down her chopsticks and stood up with Li Yunhai.

The shop owner stretched out his fat hands, blocked their way, and said with a fake smile: "You can go, but pay the bill first!"

Li Yunhai said, "We didn't eat a single bite of yours, so why should we pay for it?"

The shop owner said, "We have already fried this plate of shrimps and served them to you. You have already tasted several of them! And you still say you haven't eaten them yet?"

Li Yunhai said: "Your shrimps are frozen, we dare not eat them!"

The shop owner said, "It's up to you whether you want to eat or not. But if you buy something, you have to pay for it."

Li Yunhai asked: "Are you trying to force a sale?"

The shop owner said: "We never force you to buy or sell anything! If you buy something and consume it, you have to pay for it. It's only natural!"

Li Yunhai said coldly: "Okay, I'll pay for this plate of shrimp! As for the other things you haven't brought, we don't have to pay for them!"

The shop owner saw him backing off, and seeing that he was with a beautiful woman by his side, he was sure to save face, so he said, "No, we are already cooking the dishes you ordered, and the barbecue will be ready soon! Whether you want to eat it or not, you have to pay in full. I will pack up the food you don't eat! Even if you call the police and ask the police to come over, I will still say the same thing! How can you order food and not pay for it?"

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Li Yunhai did not want to argue with others over a few dozen dollars, so he took out a hundred yuan, put it on the table, and said, "No need to change!"

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong were still waiting for their food to be served. When they saw their boss being bullied, they gathered around.

Li Yunhai waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's go!"

Ding Qiang said: "Boss, you are really good-tempered! How can you resist hitting me like this?"

Li Yunhai said, "He's been here for decades, and he's still shouting for war and killing every day? Let him bully customers like this in a store like this. If he bullies customers a few more times, naturally no one will come to patronize his store in the future. It won't be long before his store will definitely go bankrupt."

The shop owner heard this and rushed forward, pointing at Li Yunhai and said, "Be careful or I'll beat you so hard that even your own mother won't be able to recognize you."

Li Yunhai said sternly: "What did you say?"

The shop owner was used to being tyrannical in this area. When had he ever seen a boss like Li Yunhai? He also didn't expect that someone as rich as Li Yunhai would actually come out to eat at a roadside stall.

Don't rich people have luxurious clothes and food, and are served at every meal? Even if they go out to eat, they will definitely go to high-end places, not to this street.

Therefore, the shop owner guessed that Li Yunhai was just an ordinary person, so he was not afraid and was very arrogant.

Li Yunhai asked him back.

He was not afraid and repeated it, saying, "Am I wrong? Whether we can continue the business or not is none of your business. It's your turn to comment on it?"

Li Yunhai said: "I didn't say anything wrong! I've paid for the bill, and I've given you the money. What else do you want?"

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong had been itching to bite and punch the store owner so hard that he would have his teeth clenched on the ground.

They have followed Li Yunhai for so long, when have they ever suffered such humiliation?

Watching their boss being looked down upon and abused, Ding Qiang, Zhuang Yong and others felt very uncomfortable, which was even more painful than if they were being scolded themselves.

Li Yunhai didn't want to fight today, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

The shop owner was so angry that he suddenly picked up a chair and smashed it hard towards the backs of Li Yunhai and Chen Meilin.

Ding Qiang and Zhuang Yong were prepared.

It happened in the blink of an eye!
Zhuang Yong punched the chair and sent it flying.

Ding Qiang then stood up and kicked the shop owner in the stomach.

The shop owner's fat body moved backwards rapidly and stopped only when he bumped into a table, smashing the dishes and chopsticks on it into pieces.

The shop owner seemed to be crazy. He rushed forward to beat the man and shouted, "Help! There is a fight!"

Li Yunhai was afraid that he would hurt Chen Meilin, so he pulled her hand and hid her against him, saying, "Meilin, don't go over there. Just let them fight."

At this time, a young man who was cutting vegetables and stringing them together came over with a knife and shouted, "Who dares to hit my dad? I'll chop him up!"

There was also a woman who was writing something in a small notebook. She quickly put down her pen and paper, walked over, and said, "You outsiders, you are so bold that you even dare to hit my husband?"

Li Yunhai originally wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but he didn't expect that the other party's family were all such people!

His eyes became fierce, and he said, "What do you want to do? Are you going to chop people with a knife?"

Fighting is one thing, but using weapons is something else entirely.

The young man, who was tall and strong, held the knife in his hand and chopped it in the air a few times, saying, "Who told you to hit my dad? Pay us one thousand yuan, or none of you can leave!"

Li Yunhai was furious and said, "You guys are crazy about money, right? I've already bought the order, and you still want to rob me of a thousand dollars? What's the logic behind this?"

The young man shouted, "You beat my dad and broke our bowls! These are all money! Without money, you can't leave today."

Li Yunhai's eyes became fierce, and he said slowly: "I really don't believe this! Today, I want to see who can keep me! Let alone a thousand yuan, I won't give you even one yuan!" (End of this chapter)
