Actor: Thank you.

Amidst Cheng Hao's complaints as she prepared brunch for him, Zhang Yuan hurriedly changed his clothes.

"You've only been home for a few days, haven't had a proper rest, and you're already going out again."

The older sister said, asking the aunt to help him iron his suit.

He even asked the uncle to heat up his soy milk for him.

"I don't have time to eat, please pack it up for me."

"This is your home!" Cheng Hao looked at him with displeasure: "Still packing up?"

"They've turned this place into a hotel."

"There's no other way. The airport only offers very little airspace. I have to get on the plane within an hour." Zhang Yuan shoved one foot into his shoe.

"Private jets aren't as liberating as they seem," Cheng Hao said, shaking his head.

"This is China, a country with over a billion people, so it's normal to have many flights in the sky."

"Besides, this is the capital city. It means they're giving me special treatment, plus there aren't any military exercises or celebration missions recently."

"Otherwise, it would take more than a week just to apply for the flight route."

After saying that, he picked up the plastic bag containing the food and headed out.

"You mentioned spending a lot of money yesterday, you're not planning to buy your own airplane, are you?"

"I checked my recent expenses, and this thing is a money-devouring beast." Cheng Hao was shocked when she saw the bill, and it pained her to see it.

But she knew that sometimes this was about saving face, which could be exchanged for more money.

So, thinking that Zhang Yuan had just made a fortune, instead of buying a house or a car, was he planning to buy an airplane?
"No," he replied without hesitation. "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades must continue to strive."

"After fighting wars all their lives, it's time to enjoy life."

"At least not now. I plan to return the plane early next month."

"Okay, that's all for now, I'm leaving..."

He went out, got into his car, and headed to the airport.

On the plane, the flight attendant watched as the big star refused the caviar, sashimi, and lobster sashimi offered by the crew.

He pulled a greasy plastic bag out of his backpack and took out three large meat buns, two fried dough sticks, a hard-boiled egg, and a thermos of soy milk.

He even grabbed a handful of spicy pickled vegetables in a small food bag and brought them along.

The hobbies of the wealthy are truly hard to understand...

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuan asked, looking at the flight attendant's expression.

"It's nothing... I'll get you those tablecloths." The flight attendant turned and left.

Zhang Yuan didn't care.

To be honest, he didn't like the food the crew provided.

Most of the food is eaten raw, and it's stored in the refrigerator.

It's easy to get diarrhea after eating it...

It's not as economical as soy milk and fried dough sticks, at least they're hot.

They brought me a tablecloth and tissues.

"Would you like some sparkling water to cleanse your palate?" Flight attendants, especially those assigned to private flights, are all elites with good looks and figures.

Therefore, they are the kind of people in later generations who only eat light meals and avoid Chinese-style breakfasts.

Not only for dieting, but also to gain self-satisfaction and a sense of superiority from food.

I found the fried dough sticks very greasy.

I didn't eat 37 fried dough sticks in one meal, what's the big deal... Zhang Yuan was too lazy to educate this kind of person, because it was useless to talk to them.

The more you grow, the more you realize how extremely difficult it is to change other people's minds.

"Do you have soy sauce?" I don't need anything to cut through the greasiness, but something salty would be nice.

There are differing opinions on how to eat fried dough sticks, just like there are opinions on whether to eat zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) savory or sweet.

Some are dipped in soy sauce, some in vinegar, some in soy milk, and some in ketchup...

If posted online, it could spark a massive online battle, with thousands of comments on forums and message boards.

"Yes, there are." The flight attendant smiled slightly.

I was thinking that finally there was something I could do to help.

"We have imported soy sauce from an island nation, it's very fragrant."

“Then I don’t want it.” Zhang Yuan refused decisively.

Airline stewardess:……

I don't know about other things, but the seasonings of island nations... it's not that they're bad, in fact, many are quite good.

But soy sauce, especially Kikkoman, the most famous brand in China, has various indicators exceeding the standards, especially heavy metals.

The Japanese were good at propaganda, but their actual capabilities were mediocre, and they often forged monitoring documents and data.

I ate it with soy milk and pickled vegetables, and also took a newspaper to eat with my meal.

If it had been a few years later, we would have been able to watch videos on a tablet while eating on an airplane, instead of touching paper media with an ink smell.

To appear more upscale, the plane provided a number of English newspapers.

Similar situations exist in first class and business car lounges, assuming that high-net-worth individuals are interested in global developments.

Zhang Yuan also took a Zhang, just to practice his English reading skills and make it easier to read the contract.

It is the Los Angeles Times, which is second only to The Washington Post and The New York Times in the United States.

Unlike the other two newspapers, which mainly focus on serious political topics, the Los Angeles Times has more entertainment news.

The front page headline of the newspaper was "British aunties conquer the world!"

Zhang Yuan looked through it and smiled.

Even I was fooled by the title.

It was actually during the third season of Britain's Got Talent in March that an unassuming woman named Susan Boyle became an overnight sensation.

Its popularity in Europe and America is similar to that of Xiao Shenyang after "Not Short of Money".

It's basically reached the point where everyone knows about it.

This woman is not only unattractive and has a poor figure, but she is also a late-life daughter in her family.

ADHD, epilepsy, Asperger's syndrome... which is a type of autism, can lead to developmental delays, social difficulties, pathological social anxiety, and cognitive impairment.

Working as a social worker and taking care of my elderly mother, after her passing, I only had a cat to keep me company in my life.

This image is the most typical portrait of a failed person from the bottom of society.

They are also the most suitable people to be packaged as having "turned their lives around".

Not only can it attract attention, but it can also prove the "British Dream".

Anyway, after being packaged, she became the world's most famous grassroots female singer, with amazing album sales.

These kinds of "comeback" stories are what ordinary people love to read.

You can even gain a sense of "superiority" from this person.

I'm definitely better than someone who's autistic and ugly, right?

Oh my god, if this is how you can do it, then I can do it too... and confidence and happiness will come naturally.

Anyway, the TV station made a fortune, and made a grassroots internet celebrity.

Zhang Yuan put down the newspaper, his face full of mockery.

Because it's ironic.

A representative of the "British Dream," he was actually Scottish.

To put it simply, the relationship between Scotland and England is similar to that between Nantong and Nanjing.

They look like family and even resemble each other, but in reality, neither of them is willing to submit to the other.

The most striking similarity is in football: Scots support the Chinese team but would never support the English team.

Nantong would rather support Shandong Taishan than Nanjing.

Nantong and Nanjing are relatively good, but England and Scotland have a blood feud!

It is said that Britain and France had a century-long feud, but Britain and the Soviet Union were enemies for a thousand years.

So don't be fooled by the fact that the full name is "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

In reality, only Wales is somewhat better off. The relationship between Scotland and Northern Ireland and the mainland can hardly be described as harmonious; it can only be described as mutual loathing.

Basically, it's a "just getting by, what else can we do?" situation.

Why was Britain so adept at instigating ethnic and regional divisions in its colonies?

Because humans cannot imagine things they have never seen.

After getting off the plane, I came out of Hong Kong Airport.

As soon as we got on the road, the driver cursed.

"what happened?"

"Boss, we're surrounded."

A large group of reporters, armed with cameras and microphones, swarmed around.

"Did someone leak my itinerary?" Zhang Yuan turned to look at his assistant and bodyguard.

“I wasn’t rushing to a public event, and it was a last-minute private meeting. It can’t be that serious.” He didn’t suspect his subordinates.

"That doesn't seem right," the Hong Kong driver explained. "No, it's just that these paparazzi have been camping out at the airport and hotels every day lately, surrounding any van they see."

"what reason?"

"Hey buddy, didn't you see the news?" The driver took out a cigarette and locked the car doors and windows.

"Andy Lau has made big news!"

After asking a few questions, Zhang Yuan had a general idea of ​​the situation.

"Unlock, I'm getting out of the car."

"Huh?" the driver asked, puzzled.

"You two protect me." Zhang Yuan ignored the driver's doubts and called for his assistant and bodyguards.

They got out of the car first and cleared the crowd.

Zhang Yuancai opened the door.

"Wow!"

"We caught a big fish!"

Paparazzi only know that celebrities like to use nanny vans, so they will try their luck whenever they see one.

Unexpectedly, it was this popular young actor in the car.

"Mr. Zhang, what brings you to Hong Kong this time?"

"Are you here to see Andy Lau?"

"What are your thoughts on this incident involving Andy Lau?"

"Did you already know...?"

He brought sunglasses with him when he got out of the car, otherwise the flashes from the cameras would have blinded him.

Logically, if you encounter paparazzi blocking your traffic, you should lower your body to avoid being seen by those peering through your car window and leave as quickly as possible.

But he deliberately "troublened" by getting out of the car to give an interview.

The reason is simply that the circumstances are different!

The reporters were so frantic because something "big" had happened to Brother Hua.

The big news is that he got married...

The problem isn't his marriage, because many people in the industry, especially in Hong Kong, know about it.

The key issue is that people found out.

A while ago, Carol Chu's father passed away, and Andy Lau was photographed attending the funeral with her.

Actually, there have been rumors about this for years.

Wah Gor appeared on Cha Siu-yan's show; she is known as the "Mother of Hong Kong Paparazzi."

She admitted on the show that she has a romantic relationship.

But it's just hearsay; some believe it, some don't.

Wah Gor is also very impressive; it wasn't until a few months ago that the two of them were photographed together for the first time.

It happened when they went to Malaysia to discuss their wedding.

Having a girlfriend is one thing, getting married is another, and secretly getting married is yet another!

This funeral serves as solid proof.

The elegiac couplet reads "Respectfully offered by son-in-law Liu Furong".

This is serious!

The news of Andy Lau's secret marriage exploded instantly, causing a nationwide uproar among movie fans and followers.

The media and paparazzi were quick to react, determined to uncover more details about her life.

If you say Yu Qian is getting married, as long as it's not bigamy, nobody will care.

Even if Brother Qian was dragged out of a hair salon by the police, the audience would still give him a thumbs up.

"As expected of you!"

But this is Brother Hua, not Brother Qian!

Can those be the same?

He's been an idol for over 20 years, and has millions of female fans who are absolutely obsessed with him.

It's hard to accept even dating, let alone a secret marriage?

In short, there was a barrage of criticism.

He is known as the "King of Lies".

Actually, he wasn't lying; he simply didn't say it at all.

He neither announced his marriage nor said he wouldn't get married.

But Andy Lau didn't dare to complain or say such things.

Because there are precedents.

When Chen Long and Lin Fengjiao were dating, two female fans from Japan committed suicide after it was made public.

One of them even lay down on the railway tracks with a suicide note.

She accused Chenlong of hurting her feelings...

Uncle Long has never blinked before jumping off buildings in his life, but this incident terrified him.

This serves as a cautionary tale; Andy Lau is also afraid that if he announces his marriage, some fans might do something irrational.

Now that his secret marriage has been exposed, his fans aren't going to commit suicide anymore; instead, they're outraged and going to hurl insults at him.

In a way, it can be considered a "roundabout way to achieve the goal".

But Zhang Yuan knew Andy Lau's personality.

Brother Wah has a very good attitude in public and is a model of a nice guy.

Actually, he doesn't have a very good temper; sometimes he gets very angry, but he just doesn't express it in public.

He must be very angry about this, and given his personality, he might not even think he did anything wrong.

Because it's not illegal, and no one stipulates that actors must announce their marriages to the world.

Moreover, his secret marriage wasn't for business purposes, advertising contracts, or maintaining his image; it was for making money.

He's not short of money, and his wife is even less so.

I simply want to live my life and am afraid of being disturbed by outsiders.

This is also why Zhang Yuan wanted to get off the bus.

At this point, everyone was criticizing him, and his peers certainly didn't want to say much.

Because quite a few people are secretly married.

Ronald Cheng and Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) not only secretly married, but are also about to divorce.

But Andy Lau once helped him out, and is now an important partner.

His wife also helped him with the purchase of the car fleet.

It's reasonable not to stand up at this time, but it's not ethical.

“I don’t know about Wah Gor’s marriage, but I do know that he has always had a partner.”

“I didn’t attend his wedding, but I had dinner with them.”

“They are both very kind people, and I think it’s inappropriate for them to be attacked like this.”

"The media and the audience should be more tolerant of Mr. Andy Lau."

"Because marriage is a private matter, he has no obligation to inform everyone."

“He didn’t intend to make it public, and we, his colleagues and friends, all respect his decision.”

Instead of focusing on his private life, we should pay more attention to his work.

Zhang Yuan knew he would be criticized for saying that.

But what he said was exactly what Brother Hua wanted to say.

This is enough.

If you don't stand up and publicly support your elder brother now, when will you?

"Any other questions?"

"If not, please let me leave. I have a lot of things to do," Zhang Yuan said bluntly.

"And another thing, what's your opinion on the many mainland celebrities who have been arrested for drug use this year?" a paparazzi suddenly asked.

Zhang Yuan recalled that there seemed to be several.

"Well, instead of focusing on celebrities getting married, the media should pay more attention to these drug-using artists," Zhang Yuan said calmly.

“This is what is illegal and needs to be tried.”

"I saw a lot of people and information about drug use when I was filming 'Protégé' a few years ago, so I personally abhor this matter."

"I suggest these people go to Tiananmen Square to see the reliefs on the Monument to the People's Heroes and learn about the history of the burning of opium at Humen."

"Secret marriage is not illegal, but drug use is illegal."

After uttering those words in a serious tone, he got into his car and drove away... (End of Chapter)
