Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Chapter 217 Play hard to get
Zhao Yazhi said with distress, "I don't want a divorce either. I've worked so hard for this family. But I just can't stand him. He's such a chauvinist..."

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Jiajun finally made his move and said, "Sister Zhi, how about this?"

"You should move out first and rent a place somewhere else. Both of you should calm down and resolve the misunderstanding gradually once your anger has subsided."

Zhao Yazhi thought it was a good idea, but she was still a little worried: "If I move out, will he think I'm really going to get a divorce?"

Chen Jiajun patiently advised, "Sister Zhi, men only know how to cherish something after they've lost it. You can take this opportunity to move out and scare him a little, so he'll cherish you more."

"Really?" Zhao Yazhi's eyes lit up.

“Of course it’s true.” Chen Jiajun’s tone suddenly turned cold as he said, “But if he remains indifferent and continues to doubt you after you move out, then it means that this man doesn’t love you at all.”

Zhao Yazhi is now completely caught in Chen Jiajun's pre-set logic, and she feels somewhat anxious and uncertain.

Chen Jiajun took advantage of the situation—no, he added fuel to the fire: "Sister Zhi, if you're moving out, I happen to be free today and can help you find a place."

Zhao Yazhi clenched and unclenched her small fists, and finally gritted her teeth and made a decision: "Okay, I'll move out. I'll move out this afternoon."

Chen Jiajun, seeing an opportunity, immediately pulled out his mobile phone and found an apartment for Zhao Yazhi in Hong Kong: "Let's go, or we'll end up arguing again when your husband comes home, and then we won't be able to leave."

"But……"

Zhao Yazhi looked at her one-year-old son and suddenly felt reluctant to leave.

Chen Jiajun comforted him, saying, "You're just moving out for a few days; it's not like you're not coming back."

And if moving out can save your marriage, then it's worth it. Also, I need you to focus on making the movie well; that's the best response you can give your husband.”

"Alright then, I'll leave after I get him to sleep." Zhao Yazhi finally made up her mind.

After coaxing the child for a full half hour, he finally fell asleep in bed. Zhao Yazhi gave the maid some instructions, saying that she would move out for a few days first, and then she picked up her luggage and left with Chen Jiajun.

Chen Jiajun drove there, bringing some fruit and supplements with him. On his way out, he casually abducted a young married woman. The woman was very grateful to him and went to Hong Kong with Chen Jiajun.

Once he left, Chen Jiajun would never allow Zhao Yazhi to come back.

Helping a lonely woman escape her misery, Boss Jun, you are truly great.

The day.

When Huang Hanwei returned home, he learned from the maid that a man named Mr. Chen had taken Zhao Ya away. Huang Hanwei was furious and called Zhao Ya: "Well, I didn't expect that besides Huang Yuankun, there was also a Mr. Chen. You fickle woman."

“Huang Hanwei, what nonsense are you talking about? I think there are too many misunderstandings between us. I’m moving out to cool off for a while.”

Zhao Yazhi turned pale with anger and threw the script aside.

"Is he Mr. Chen from Hongxing Film Industry?" Huang Hanwei asked angrily.

"So what if it is? Ah Jun invited me to be the female lead, and he told me to focus on my work first. You should calm down too." Zhao Yazhi's chest heaved with anger.

"Calm down, you motherfucker! Do you even know what kind of person Mr. Chen is? He's a shady character."

"I won't allow you to talk about Mr. Chen like that."

Inside a dance hall on Po Lan Street.

After Chen Jiajun abducted Zhao Ya, Huang Hanwei called a friend over. The friend, dressed in a white suit and tie, looked quite respectable, drinking one glass after another. His friend was the editor-in-chief of a magazine, and sat next to him.

His friend advised, "Wei, stop drinking. If you drink any more, I'll have to carry you home."

"Leave me alone, let me drink."

Huang Hanwei weakly pushed his friend away.

A friend asked, "What happened? You haven't said a word. Tell us what's wrong so we can figure it out together."

Huang Hanwei was probably drunk, and he cursed loudly, "I never thought she was this kind of woman. I was really blind back then."

My friend asked, "Which woman?"

"Who else could it be? Zhao Yazhi. I... I've been so good to her, I've worried myself sick over this family, but Zhizhi won't even leave the entertainment industry... Fine!"
I only found out the real reason last night... Waaah... I knew it, there aren't many good women who go out in public.

As Huang Hanwei was speaking, he suddenly burst into tears.

A friend advised, "No way, your sister-in-law seems like a very dignified person. Maybe it's a misunderstanding. You have to stay calm, otherwise someone might try to steal her away."

"How could it be fake?"

Sobbing, Huang Hanwei produced the bracelet and love letter, saying, "We caught her red-handed, and she confessed herself. But I really love her, and I don't want to divorce her..."

When his friend saw the love letter, his eyes lit up immediately, and he stopped trying to persuade Huang Hanwei, letting him continue drinking in silence.

Huang Hanwei, still slightly drunk, said, "You don't know, she's moved out now. Mr. Chen from Hongxing asked her to act in a movie... Yesterday it was Mr. Huang, today it's Mr. Chen, tomorrow it'll be some other gentleman. If this keeps up, horses will be running all over my head..."

"Mr. Chen and his sister-in-law, nothing happened, right?"

His friend, his heart pounding with excitement, held his breath, hoping to hear some explosive news from Huang Hanwei.

"No, I had a fight with Zhizhi yesterday and slapped her. The guy surnamed Chen helped her rent a place outside so she could focus on her work first... But as time goes on, who knows, the two of them might end up together."

Huang Hanwei downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"You're a fucking jerk."

His friend was greatly disappointed. He patted Huang Hanwei on the shoulder and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your sister-in-law turned down countless film offers to give you a baby. She even gave you a Mercedes-Benz W14 for your birthday. If I were you, I would be overjoyed."

After saying that, his friend picked up his wine glass and asked again to confirm, "By the way, the Mr. Chen you mentioned from Hongxing, you wouldn't be referring to Sir Chen from Guojun Group, would you?"

"Besides him, who else? Waaaaaah." Huang Hanwei became even more heartbroken as he spoke.

Huang Hanwei finally fell asleep drunk, and his friend dragged him into the car, took out his camera and snapped a bunch of pictures of the love letter and bracelet. Then, with a satisfied smile, he put away the camera and took Huang Hanwei home.

My friend's weekly magazine, which is being edited by the editor-in-chief, is facing a sharp drop in sales. Now that they've found a great topic to generate buzz, it's a fantastic opportunity to boost sales.

Even if this offended Huang Hanwei, the friend could explain it as revenge, exposing Zhao Yazhi's ugly true colors. He could even say that Huang Hanwei, while drunk, asked him to publish the story in a magazine; after all, few people remember what they said when they were drunk.

As for Sir Chen, he didn't dare to get too involved... It wouldn't be a big problem to stir up rumors about Zhao Yazhi and Huang Yuanshen, but if Sir Chen were involved, their magazine might get burned down.

Zhao Yazhi only rested for two days before returning to the set of "Lucky Star" to continue filming. Her scenes were quickly completed, and then "Wrong Car" officially started filming.

[Wrong bus]

Director: Yu Kanping.

Executive Producers: Ishida, Huang Baiming.

Screenwriter: Huang Baiming
Starring: Sun Yue, Zhao Yazhi, Chow Yun-fat, Li Liqun.

……

The film crew of "Wrong Car" can be described as a major collaboration between the entertainment industries of Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Chow Yun-fat's role was not the male lead, but the second male lead, Shi Junmai, a young composer, which was another challenge for him.

The reason why Chen Jiajun personally selected Chow Yun-fat for the second male lead was to give him more experience, challenge him with various roles, and make him a pillar of Hung Hing Films.

The pre-production work was very thorough, and the filming went smoothly. Zhao Yazhi's performance impressed Director Yu and the crew.

Of course, the leading actor in this drama is Sun Yue, a fifty-year-old actress from Taiwan.

Before becoming a film actor, Sun Yue had worked in stage plays, hosted TV programs, and appeared in dozens of TV series before transitioning to the big screen.

Unlike Hong Kong, Taiwan has been popular with art films in recent years, and the actors in art films generally surpass those in commercial films in terms of acting skills.

Sun Yue's portrayal of the mute uncle, despite having no lines, completely overshadowed Zhao Yazhi through his physical movements and acting skills.

Fortunately, Sun Yue's acting skills were excellent, and Zhao Yazhi quickly got into the swing of things under his guidance.

Several days passed without any unusual events occurring. Huang Hanwei did not come to the film set to see Zhao Yazhi, as if they were going to have a cold war and see who would give in first.

However, Chen Jiajun and Zhao Yazhi's relationship progressed rapidly.

After Zhao Yazhi moved to Hong Kong, Chen Jiajun had someone break down her car, and then he naturally started picking her up and dropping her off at the film set every day.

Every day, Chen Jiajun would have the housekeeper deliver a delicious, cooked bento box to Zhao Yazhi, either by himself or by having the housekeeper do so.

Zhao Yazhi was abducted by him. Whatever he eats, Zhao Yazhi has to eat too. A person should be responsible to the end.

After finishing work that day, Chen Jiajun came to pick up Zhao Yazhi.

Back in Hong Kong, after everyone went upstairs, Chan Ka-Chun was still walking with Chiu Nga-Chi.

Zhao Yazhi said with a laugh, "Ah Jun, you don't need to see me off anymore. It's just a few steps. Do you think I'll be kidnapped?"

Chen Jiajun smiled like a bodyguard and said, "That's hard to say. The world is so chaotic these days. Anyway, as long as I'm here, I'll be your protector." Zhao Yazhi lowered her head and remained silent until they reached her doorstep. Then she said softly, "Jun, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. But, aren't we getting too close...? I'm a married woman, and I've heard some gossip these past few days. I'm afraid it might have a bad influence on you."

Chen Jiajun said sincerely and affectionately, "Sister Zhi, I admit that I like you very much, but don't worry, I won't be like others who pester you and try to break up your family. As long as I can take care of you and see you happy every day, I will be content."

See that? That's what you call professional.

Such straightforward words deeply moved Zhao Yazhi. She bit her lower lip and said, "Ah Jun, we can't do this. Actually, there are many women who are better than me... But thank you for your feelings for me. I will cherish them."

“I understand. By the way, this is tonight’s bento. Eat it early before it gets cold. Also, after we finish filming in Hong Kong, we’ll be going to Taiwan. Be prepared.”

Chen Jiajun then handed over the bento box.

“Ah Fa already told me. Well… goodnight.”

Zhao Yazhi took the lunchbox, tucked her hair behind her ear, and waved to Chen Jiajun.

"Okay, I'll be going now."

After watching Chen Jiajun enter the elevator, he then went inside.

The moment the door closed, Zhao Yazhi's emotions surged.

The next day.

A magazine was quietly placed in prominent positions at newsstands throughout Hong Kong, as well as at Kowloon Motor Bus and Chung Hwa Bus stops.

The cover features two celebrities, a male and a female, respectively, stills of Zhao Yazhi from "Shanghai Bund" and Huang Yuanshen from "The Legend of Huo Yuanjia".

The cover's title is quite sensational, written in bold red font: "[Huo Yuanjia and Feng Chengcheng - A Love-Hate Couple's Extramarital Affair]".

Opening the cover reveals even more explosive content, which not only exposes Huang Yuankun's "extramarital affair" with Zhao Yazhi, but also points out that a certain Sir X, who has a powerful influence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, spent a lot of money to hire Zhao Yazhi to act in a movie.

Although this small magazine did not reveal Sir X's true identity, there are only two such "sirs" in the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry: one surnamed Shao and the other surnamed Chen.

Anyone with even a slight connection to the entertainment industry can easily guess that it's Chen Jiajun.

He Tian'er, the apple of the He family's eye, was furious when she heard the news.

After filming "A Better Tomorrow", Chen Jiajun ignored her completely, and the company didn't give her any new scripts.

Why is it that Zhao Yazhi, who has given birth to a son, can get such a high salary at Hongxing Film Studio?

No matter what, I'm a major contributor to Hung Hsing Films, right?

That night.

The daughter of the gambling king, He Tian'er, drove her Porsche 911 to the Chen family manor.

"Hey, my niece is here."

Chen Jiajun teased He Tian'er as soon as he saw her puffed-up face.

To his surprise, He Tian'er didn't seem to mind being called her niece this time. After making a face at him, she called out to the butler, "Butler Carson, remember to get me a pair of chopsticks. Thank you."

Then, he casually sat down on the sofa.

"Understood, Miss He."

The old British butler responded, as he was quite used to He Tian'er coming over to freeload.

That evening at dinner.

He Tian'er finally couldn't hold back and brought up the topic with Chen Jiajun: "Brother Jun, I heard that you promoted Zhao Yazhi to the female lead, and the salary is three million?"

“Yes, the company recently started filming an art film. Zhao Yazhi’s image and acting skills are very suitable for the female lead, so the company invited her to play the female lead.” Chen Jiajun ate his steak slowly.

"three million?"

Guan Jiahui was immediately dumbfounded, after all, her monthly allowance was only a few hundred thousand. Of course, if you included the stocks and other businesses that Chen Jiajun managed for them, her net worth was far more than that.

Lu Yongyu, on the other hand, glanced at Chen Jiajun but didn't say anything more.

"This movie is scheduled to be released in Hong Kong and mainland China. It's a big production, so it's normal for the actors' salaries to be a bit higher," Chen Jiajun explained with a smile.

"I want to be the female lead too," He Tian'er said angrily.

"You?" Chen Jiajun put down his knife and fork, looking puzzled.

"Am I not good enough?"

He Tian'er straightened her chest, tossed her hair, and pretended to be a lady.

Although He Tian'er is also exceptionally beautiful, she is still a little bit behind Zhao Yazhi.

"Sure, how about you be the lead actress in a smutty film?"

Chen Jiajun glanced down at the screen and shook his head decisively.

"You, hmph! Sister Yongyu!"

He Tian'er said to Lu Yongyu in a coquettish tone.

"Tian'er, you're not getting any younger. Your dad won't agree to you playing the lead role. And Jun-ge, if you think Miss Zhao is suitable, you can bring her to our house next time."

Lu Yongyu knew her husband's habits very well. She was also wondering why the old housekeeper had been packing a lunchbox and sending it to Hong Kong recently. As she spoke, she stretched her foot out from under the table and gently stepped on Chen Jiajun's foot.

After being questioned by Chen Jiajun, He Tian'er was clearly unhappy, and she understood the implication in his words.

After dinner, I ran into He Tian'er in the restroom.

He Tian'er shouted, "Brother Jun, I also want to be the female lead."

Chen Jiajun ignored him. Who do you think you are? You think you can just become one whenever you want?

Chen Jiajun was about to leave when He Tian'er stopped him: "Are you going to give me a chance or not?"

He Tian'er tilted her head back and stared at Chen Jiajun, her pretty face flushed, and she smelled faintly of jam and wine. Her lips were red and slightly parted.

Chen Jiajun casually pushed He Tian'er into the empty warehouse behind him and slammed her against the wall with his body.

In the darkness, He Tian'er's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Chen Jiajun and asked, "I want to be the female lead."

Her back was pressed against the wall, she didn't utter a sound, and her breathing was very heavy.

"You can't be unaware of Hongxing Film and Television's rules, can you? If you want to be the female lead, you have to accept my unspoken rules. Do you really think being the female lead is that easy? Just because Brother Xin is your father?" Chen Jiajun looked He Tian'er up and down, trying to dispel her idea as soon as possible.

Nowadays, Hung Hing is in charge of security for the He family. He Tianbao was not in a car accident, and He Tian'er, as the apple of the He family's eye, naturally does not need to join the SJM Holdings early on like she did in her previous life to be He Xin's right-hand woman.

Therefore, He Tian'er devoted herself wholeheartedly to the film and television industry.

Even so, Chen Jiajun did not want He Tian'er to be tainted by the dark side of the entertainment industry.

Therefore, he had to dissuade her from the idea as soon as possible.

"You bastard, you're not human." He Tian'er breathed heavily and closed her eyes.

"Speak up! Do you want to or not? Get to the point!" Chen Jiajun shouted.

He Tian'er opened her eyes, hesitated for a few seconds, and whispered, "I want to..."

"Holy crap, are you crazy? Ugh..."

Before Chen Jiajun could finish speaking, He Tian'er kissed him and grabbed his hand.

Before Chen Jiajun could react, He Tian'er's lips were already pressed against his.

Chen Jiajun quickly pushed He Tian'er away and sternly reprimanded her: "You shameless person! You actually want to steal your sisters' men? Is this how the He family raises its members? Who do you take me for? A man you can just beckon to?"

"You!" He Tian'er was filled with shame and indignation.

Chen Jiajun untied the shoulder strap of He Tian'er's dress and said lightly, "So you should take the initiative. After all, I'm not as casual as you. I'm a person who values ​​my integrity and rarely do this kind of thing. I'm rather reserved and can't let go."

After saying this, Chen Jiajun closed his eyes, as if he was about to suffer a great humiliation.

“You…” He Tian’er’s pretty face instantly turned as colorful as a spilled palette, her heart filled with humiliation and anger: “You…you are truly shameless and despicable.”

"You tried to seduce me while you were barely clothed, but I remained steadfast and unmoved. So, who is the one who is indecent?" Chen Jiajun opened his eyes, reached out and touched He Tian'er's smooth, fragrant shoulder, accusing her of being indecent.

He Tian'er: "..."

These were the words she was just about to say. Coming to her senses, He Tian'er pounced on her, baring her teeth and claws, filled with shame and indignation: "I...I'll fight you to the death, I'll fuck you to death tonight."
