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

Chapter 690 Return to Port City
Port city.

Kai Tak International Airport.

This airport has since been closed.

Because it is located in the city center.

With noise and airspace restrictions becoming increasingly serious, the Hong Kong City Government, after much deliberation, finally rebuilt the Hong Kong City Lantau International Airport at Chek Lap Kok, north of Lantau Island, far from the city center and Kowloon.

Kai Tak International Airport is now world-renowned for its extremely challenging take-off and landing. Before landing, the plane needs to make a nearly 90-degree turn and fly low over dense residential buildings, creating a very impressive sight. It used to be one of the unique landscapes of the port city. However, this unique landscape can no longer be seen in later generations. If Lu Yang had not been reborn, he would not have had the opportunity to see it.

He came this time.

I originally wanted to be alone.

He left no one with him; his wife and children were temporarily left in the capital.

If you want to go back to Shenzhen, that's fine too.

He also kept his chairman's assistant behind, letting Xu Siqi take charge of these matters. In addition, the advertising cooperation with CCTV in Beijing was nearing completion, and the results would soon be visible. The historical drama "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," scheduled to air in late October, was also confirmed to be on CCTV's prime-time channel next Monday. When the commercials for the two dramas aired, it would soon be revealed whether Lu Yang had made the right choice or misjudged the situation.

Therefore, Xu Siqi volunteered to stay in the capital and keep an eye on these trivial matters for Lu Yang.

My aunt is right. A woman shouldn't just be a pretty face. She may not have an independent career, but she must make sure that the person she likes can see her value.

In the past, she definitely wouldn't have liked to hear these words.

Isn't it better to stay by that lousy boss's side?
Wherever her boss goes, she goes too, focusing on companionship and following him relentlessly, clinging to him like glue. She believes that one day she will be able to open her boss's heart!
But now she's opened up the boss's heart!

Hehe...

There is no man that Xu Siqi cannot conquer.

But while she was happy, another problem came to mind. Now that her status was different, if she continued to cling to him like before, following him wherever he went and not giving him any space to breathe, wouldn't he eventually get annoyed with her?

During her two days and three nights in Xingcheng, she lost her virginity, which she had cherished for over twenty years. On the morning she left Xingcheng, the kind words her aunt said when she saw her off were etched in her heart forever.

She resolved to change herself from this moment on.

Previously, although she was the chairman's assistant, her work was more like that of the chairman's personal secretary. From now on, she will take on the important role of the chairman's assistant and not let the stinky boss look down on her.

Lu Yang was naturally happy to see her change.

So I appreciated and affirmed her courage, and told her:
Do a good job. The job of a secretary only requires execution: scheduling, meeting minutes, document processing, communication, receiving visitors, and travel arrangements. You only need to ensure the smooth operation of the chairman's daily affairs.

However, the chairman's assistant is different. The chairman's assistant can participate in the company's strategic planning, project research, and report writing. They can coordinate across departments, supervise project progress on behalf of the chairman when necessary, and even independently take charge of a certain business segment. They belong to the company's true senior management. If you can do a good job, your future achievements will not be inferior to your sister Wei Shu's.

Wei Shu is the female president of the group company, responsible for the capital operation of Century Group, which has reached a scale of several billion yuan.

She is the idol of all the sisters they know.

Lu Yang praised Xu Siqi, saying that she could surpass Wei Shu in future achievements, and then proceeded to manipulate Xu Siqi into submission.

They even forgot that Lu Yang's trip to Hong Kong might have had other purposes besides signing the investment contract for "Fist of Fury" with Brother Jie.

Lu Yang finally managed to shake off this tail that should have been following him around.

Naturally, he left as quickly as possible and immediately had someone book his plane ticket. But no matter how fast he went, Xiao Jun still managed to spot him as if he had smelled something, and insisted on coming along with him. Since Xiao Jun was coming, Mu Qizhong, who had long been Xiao Jun's close friend, realized that staying in Beijing alone wasn't fun, so he also wanted to come along.

Lu Yang had no choice but to bring the two of them along, but there were conditions: all expenses in Hong Kong would be paid for by these two guys who insisted on coming along.

"I seem to remember that our company has an office in Hong Kong, right?"

After getting off the plane, the three were followed by more than a dozen people in black suits as they left the airport through the VIP channel.

Mu Qizhong suddenly remembered to ask Lu Yang.

Xiao Jun then joined in the fun, "So, will someone come to pick us up later? We don't need to take the hotel car directly to the hotel to check in first?"

He's the kind of person who can't sit still.

Moreover, there are many things to do in Hong Kong. Whenever he thinks of Hong Kong, his energy seems to have nowhere to go, and he suddenly becomes full of vitality, as if he is 10 years younger.

Lu Yang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Did you take Viagra? We just got off the plane, couldn't you wait a bit?"

As soon as Xiao Jun stuck out his butt, I knew what he was up to. He was probably eyeing some new, reasonably good-looking female celebrity from Hong Kong.

Why do we say he only targets those who have recently debuted?

Because it's a relatively new car, and it looks decent with a certain level of brand recognition, it'll be even more fun to drive.

Xiao Jun chuckled and said, "Hey you two, don't be jealous of me. One of you is already at the age where you should be cultivating your character. Driving is a waste of gas, especially in a nice car. You should save your energy and try to live a few more years. The other of you has a rather special status now, so I bet you wouldn't dare to mess around in front of me. Be careful, or I'll go to my sister to complain. Hehe, so all the female celebrities I've been eyeing this time are mine."

Before the new century, celebrities generally did not have high net worth, especially movie stars in Hong Kong. They suffered from harassment by underground gangs, and very few were able to break out and become one of their own assets. Only top movie stars like Jackie Chan, Jay Chou, Chow Yun-fat, and Stephen Chow were able to do so.

That's why Xiao Jun is so arrogant.

Although he was seen as a country bumpkin by the Hong Kong media, he was rich. As long as he was willing to spend money, he could easily sleep with a few female celebrities who had just debuted in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Lu Yang chuckled twice, but didn't respond.

Mu Qizhong was furious. That guy who dared to curse him was useless now. He'd better shut up, or he might die sooner. Enraged, he jumped up and started punching Xiao Jun's head repeatedly, yelling, "You little brat, you deserve a beating, don't you?"

Xiao Jun was more than ten years younger than him and a veteran. He grabbed both of his hands with one hand and said, "Hey, you old man, you're slapping me in the face. If you hit me again, I'll get angry. Alright, alright, I'll let you have one, but you better watch out. Don't try to copy everything I do. Don't blame me if you go crazy."

That guy's sharp tongue made Mu Qizhong so angry he wanted to punch him again.

However, being a self-proclaimed figure, upon seeing that the VIP passage had reached its end, he immediately tightened his bow tie under his suit jacket, resuming the dignified demeanor of a successful person.

"We might have to face reporters later." Lu Yang smiled and reminded us, "Don't worry, no reporters will be waiting for us outside. I've already spoken to the people who are coming to pick us up."

This time, Lu Yang wanted to keep the trip low-key.

Mu Qizhong breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his tightly tied tie, thought for a moment, put his hand on his waistband, and prepared to pull out his belt to have a good sparring session with that foul-mouthed little bastard.

"Stop right there, you little punk, don't run away if you dare."

How could Xiao Jun possibly listen to him? Seeing that this old man was just like his stepfather, constantly pulling out the leather belt from his pants, he immediately took off running.

The bodyguards behind them couldn't help but chuckle.

"Mr. Lu, over here, I see you."

As soon as Lu Yang exited the airport's VIP passage, he saw Fatty Wang Jing standing in front of Xiao Jun, waving at him with even more enthusiasm than Xiao Jun.

They're old acquaintances.

We worked together on the movie "Campus Super King" before.

Lu Yang is still his client.

It's this fatso who spoiled Xiao Jun's palate, and every time he comes... he introduces him to female celebrities who are not even 18th-tier stars.

This time, I'm back in the port city.

Jie Ge originally said he would take a day off from work, give the crew a day off, and take a day off to come to the airport to pick up Lu Yang and give him a welcome-back dinner.

Lu Yang refused.

Firstly, they were filming a movie, so there was no need to be so high-profile and insist that they come to pick them up in person.

It will also delay the work of the entire crew and postpone the filming process of the entire movie.

Another reason is that Brother Jie is very famous and is currently popular across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. If he comes to pick me up at the airport, fans will definitely flock to the airport and crowd the area. Lu Yang will have a lot of prestige, but he will also be very bothered by the crowd. He is a businessman and the capital behind the star, not the star himself. He is not used to putting himself in the spotlight all the time.

Later, at Xiao Jun's suggestion, they contacted Fatty Wang in Hong Kong and asked him to come pick them up from the airport.

It just so happens that Wang Jing is also familiar with Jie Ge. The two once worked together on the movie "The Kung Fu Cult Master". In the post-credits scene of the movie, Zhang Min, who played Zhao Min, turned around and smiled, which made Jie Ge, who played Zhang Wuji, want to save the six major sects. So he went to Dadu to find her. As a result, he searched for decades and has been remembered by netizens ever since. They said, "Don't forget to tell your father at the family sacrifice", and told their sons and grandsons to remember to burn offerings for them when the sequel comes out.

Although there is suspicion of playing a meme.

This also shows how much netizens love this movie.

Wang Jing, that fatso, has only collaborated with Brother Jie once in the past few years, and he definitely wants to collaborate a second time. However, after experiencing some things, Brother Jie now runs his own film company, invests in his own films, and is his own boss. Collaborating with him again is no longer as simple as it used to be.

However, now that Lu Yang, a mainland businessman, has invested in Brother Jie's film, Wang Jing has also seen an opportunity. If he can seize it, perhaps next time Brother Jie has a new script, he will be able to take the lead again and direct a film starring Brother Jie.

Currently, Hong Kong's top stars include Jackie Chan, who has already gone to Hollywood and is doing exceptionally well; Chow Yun-fat is reportedly also considering a trip to Hollywood; and Jay Chou might go sometime too. Once they make a name for themselves, given Hollywood male star salaries—top A-list stars often command $1500 million or $2000 million per film, plus a share of the box office—no film company in Hong Kong can afford to hire them, considering the current scale of cinemas and distribution practices.

So don't assume that the two will have many more opportunities to collaborate in the future.

It is highly likely that once Jay Chou goes to Hollywood, the two will never be able to work together again.

Upon seeing Wang Jing's slightly comical face, Lu Yang laughed and walked over, exchanging a hug with her.

He is, after all, the most talented film director in Hong Kong, so we should give him some face. As long as you don't keep stuffing minor celebrities into his room, then we can still be friends with him, albeit reluctantly.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is my brother, Brother Mou. You may not know him, but you've definitely heard his legendary story. He traded a trainload of canned goods, liquor, coats, and other daily necessities for a Russian plane from the north. Do you remember that incident?"

Lu Yang turned to the side and introduced Mu Qizhong to Wang Jing.

Wang Jing was immediately astonished, considering him an extraordinary being.

He almost knelt down before the unassuming Mu Qizhong, bowing at a 90-degree angle and extending his hands to greet him, saying, "Mr. Mu, I've heard your story countless times and have always wanted to meet you in person. Now that I've finally met you, hello, hello. Please allow me to humbly introduce myself. My name is Wang Jing, a small-time director in Hong Kong trying to make a living. If you don't mind, you can just call me Jingzai."

Such a humble attitude made Mu Qizhong feel very proud.

So he laughed and patted Wong Jing on the shoulder, "I'll take the liberty of calling you Little Wong. You're pretty good. How about this, bring me any scripts you have on hand another day, and I'll submit them to you whether they're suitable or not."

What does it mean to be wealthy?

That's what you call being rich and powerful; you don't care if it's suitable or not, you just invest first and worry about the consequences later.

Anyway, I'm not short of money.

At this moment, Xiao Jun put his mouth close to Wang Jing's ear, who had a happy expression on her face, and whispered something to her.

Wang Jing nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I've got it covered."

He is professional.

Xiao Jun then raised an eyebrow at Mu Qizhong with a smug look.

Lu Yang ignored the lustful man and got into the car.

Once all three of them were in the car, Wang Jing suddenly remembered something and cautiously leaned closer to Lu Yang...

It turns out that he was recently writing a script that he felt was perfect for Jay Chou to play, and he wanted to invite Jay Chou, but he was afraid that Jay Chou would refuse him.

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately remembered that in 95, before Brother Jie went to Hollywood, the two of them had indeed collaborated once.

However... it seems the results aren't very good!?
