Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Hong Kong Island.

The opening ceremony of the movie "Super School Overlord".

Wang Jin, who should have been in high spirits, now had beads of sweat all over his face, which were dripping down.

The heat is indeed very hot.

This damn weather.

But more of it was because of anxiety, the anxiety on his face was almost written all over.

Just two hours ago, he received a call from Mr. Lu's secretary, informing him that the official announcement could be made and the film's opening ceremony would be held at the same time.

He was very happy at that time.

But the good times didn't last long.

First, Mr. Lu’s secretary informed him over the phone that Mr. Lu would not attend the film’s opening ceremony, but Mr. Xiao would replace Mr. Lu and appear at the upcoming opening ceremony as the main investor of the film.

This is also good.

Mr. Xiao is easier to deal with than Mr. Lu.

Mr. Xiao is not pretentious. His lust is not only written on his face but also reflected in his actions. To please him, we just need to introduce him to more beautiful women in the local entertainment industry in Hong Kong Island.

Is this not easy?
For a director as prolific as him.

However, when Mr. Xiao arrived, he slapped him in the face and asked him, "Fuck you, you fat bastard, aren't you looking for death?"

Wang Jin was slapped in the face at that time. He was completely stunned and had no idea what was going on.

I just kept apologizing.

If he didn't apologize, Xiao Jun would beat him again, and at that time Xiao Jun's eyes were already fierce, and that fist as big as a casserole might really beat him to death. After all, he was just a fat man whose body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex.

Just like that, in front of the backstage crew, as well as people like Stephen Chow, Leon Lai, Aaron Kwok, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Yau Shu-chen...

They are the male and female protagonists of this movie.

As the director of this play, Wang Jin was slapped several times backstage at the press conference.

He even apologized to the person who hit him while being slapped.

Some people may question, don’t the staff on the scene know to step forward and stop it?

What a great opportunity to please director Fatty Wang, right?
Yes, there are, but unfortunately, they can’t squeeze in.

Because Xiao Jun came prepared, he brought with him a dozen or so men in all black suits, and they surrounded the entire backstage of the movie launch conference.

knew.

He is an investor and he is here to support the movie he invested in.

unknown.

I thought it was another social group that came to the film opening ceremony of this drama to collect money.

So, we can’t blame Wang Jinsong for apologizing over and over, and we can’t blame the crew members under him either, as no one dared to step forward to mediate or stand up for him.

Look at those artists and their agents. They all hide far away, huddled in a corner like a quail, not saying a word, for fear that their presence would be noticed by those people in black suits.

Are you done fighting?

Looks like it's over, right?

Just as everyone pricked up their ears to listen, the sound of slapping seemed to have stopped in the area surrounded by the men in black suits.

Xiao Jun's anger was finally vented.

Now, he had to make sure the person died with a clear conscience.

Then, he grabbed the collar of Wang Jin, whose face was swollen like a bun, and said, "Fatty, do you know why I brought so many people here today?"

Wang Jin wailed at the top of his lungs, "Please give me a quick answer, Mr. Xiao."

He was really wronged.

I don’t know which evil god I have offended today?

He was beaten so badly for no reason.

But he was not stupid. He knew very well that since the other party hit him, there must be a reason for it. It was definitely not because he was crazy or suddenly ill, but he must have done something wrong in some link in the past few days, which made the other party so angry that he rushed to the backstage of the launch ceremony's press conference to beat him up to vent his anger regardless of the occasion and the identity of the investor.

But, God, what went wrong?
Is it...

These are the female artists that I introduced to Mr. Xiao. Could it be that one of them is sick?

But that’s not right either!

I'm not stupid. The rule in this industry is to take the artist to the hospital for a check-up and then get a certificate. I remember clearly that the female artists I took there these days all had health certificates.

Could it be that some female artist deliberately deceived me?
In fact, he was sick, but he pretended not to be sick and got a fake certificate in an attempt to get away with it?

Isn't this stupid?
If a small artist who is just outside the 18th-tier dares to pass on her physical illness to these rich young masters, once something happens, given their perverse personalities, won't they kill her entire family?
It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Even the dumbest woman would not dare to use this method to gain an opportunity to get promoted.

In just a few seconds, Wang Jin had already gone over in his mind all the mistakes he might make in the next few days, and eliminated them again.

But I still couldn't figure it out.

So he could only stare at Xiao Jun opposite him with a look of resentment and grievance, with his eyes that were so swollen that he could not open them and could only squint into slits, hoping that this gentleman would tell him the truth next so that he would die with understanding.

Xiao Jun laughed coldly: "Huh, you are still pretending, right?" "Okay, then I will tell you the truth."

"Master, I'm afraid of death!"

"I just borrowed these people from the old man in Pengcheng. They are specially used to protect me. If I am not careful, I will be kidnapped in broad daylight while walking on the street. That would be a tragedy, right?"

Xiao Jun gently reached out his hand and patted Wang Jin's swollen face: "Speak, I want to ask you, is it true?"

Wang Jin almost urinated. He quickly clamped his legs together and shook his head, saying with a sad face, "Yes, yes, no, no, how could someone kidnap someone in broad daylight? Mr. Xiao must have some misunderstanding. Please listen to my explanation first..."

"Snapped--"

"Untie your mother."

Before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard in the face again.

Xiao Jun was furious, grabbing his collar tightly and saying, "You dare to ask me for an explanation? Then I'm going to tell you right now, Mr. Lu, our Mr. Lu, was almost kidnapped by a group of gangsters on the streets of your Hong Kong Island this morning. Do you understand?"

The sound was deafening.

No one spoke for a long time. The backstage of the entire crew was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Several artists looked at each other in bewilderment. When they heard from this young mainland investor that another young mainland investor of the show was almost kidnapped on the streets of Hong Kong Island, they secretly exclaimed in their hearts:

It’s over.

5000 million!

This film may be aborted before it even officially starts shooting.

For a time, they hated those gangsters who dared to plan to kidnap wealthy businessmen from the mainland in broad daylight.

"What a bunch of bastards."

Yau Shu-zhen muttered: "Pah, it brings shame to us Hong Kong Islanders."

She is still waiting for this big-budget movie to help her become a top female artist.

If it was suddenly announced that the filming would be cancelled, she would definitely go crazy and might even want to kill someone.

"Yes, they are a bunch of bastards. They should all be arrested and never let go."

"Yes, they should all be sent to prison for labor reform."

Several male artists also started talking to Lu Yang.

Oh, Lu Yang is not here, that’s okay, this is also for Xiao Jun, an investor who is also from the mainland.

"No trouble."

“It’s no longer necessary.”

"I'm here to tell you, don't think that people from the mainland are easy to bully. Show me those two eyes on your face. If you mess with me, I don't care if you are a first-tier or second-tier artist, or a famous shitty director. I will dig a fucking hole and bury you alive. Do you understand?"

Xiao Jun was really angry this time, otherwise he wouldn't have said such harsh words.

After he finished yelling, he felt bored because he rarely bullied others. But this time, he had to show off his muscles as a mainlander.

Otherwise, some people here might think that he is a soft persimmon and they might pinch him at any time.

"Woooooooo..."

At this moment, someone suddenly burst into tears.

It was Wang Jin. The fat guy started crying loudly in public with tears and snot.

He hugged Xiao Jun's legs and said, "Boss Xiao, I am innocent. I am just an ordinary director and have absolutely nothing to do with any society. I swear, I didn't tell anyone.

Because it’s not necessary!
5000 million! This is such a huge investment for a movie. I, Wang Jin, have never fought such a lucrative battle in more than ten years since my debut. How could I possibly destroy myself?

Mr. Xiao, you must believe me, you must believe me, I am innocent... wuwuwu..."

It's such a pity that this fat guy doesn't become an actor or make movies.

Even being a director seems a waste of his talent.

He was crying so hard with snot and tears, and was so heartbroken that if you didn't know better, you would have thought his mother had died.

Xiao Jun kicked his legs, but found that he couldn't shake off the scabby dog, so he let him go. He just sneered a few times, clapped his hands and said, "Don't think you are innocent. Bring the person in."

The voice just fell.

There was a scream from the door.

A female artist, covered in bruises, was dragged in by two men in black suits, grabbing her hair.

"hiss--"

Everyone present took a breath.

Because they knew this female artist, she was the missing female No. 2.

Before, they were still wondering why the No. 2 female lead was still not showing up for such an important occasion. Could it be that she started to act like a big shot because she had served the financial sponsor so well?

Is this the result? ? ?

The second female lead crawled to Xiao Jun, hugged Xiao Jun’s calves and begged, "I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again, they forced me, can you let me go... I beg you... After all, we slept together... Wuuuuuuu..."
