Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 380: Battle of wits and courage with the paparazzi
Just then, someone walked into the cafe.

She was a woman with very good taste in clothes and looked elegant and graceful.

However, because it is backlit, I can't see his appearance clearly from this side.

Ma Jun said excitedly: "Here she comes, here she comes, is Chen Yifei here? Ah... no."

Brother Hui glanced at the woman and shook his head: "Of course it's not Chen Yifei, the height is wrong."

Brother Hui showed an excited expression again: "No, no, you are also a very important person."

Wang Chengyang asked: "Who is it? Who is the important person?"

"Idiot, you've been following me for so long, how come you don't remember anyone at all? Isn't this Sister Ning?"

Ma Jun and Wang Chengyang looked at each other and showed excitement almost at the same time.

"Sister Ning, you're talking about Li Shuning, right? The amazing ace agent."

"I remember now! Isn't Li Shuning Chen Yifei's agent?"

Brother Hui smiled slightly: "Yes, it's her. Chen Yifei didn't come out, so just keep an eye on Li Shuning. Hurry up and get ready. Get everything ready!"

"Okay!"

The three of them acted quickly.

In fact, the so-called preparation is just to set up the sports camera, SLR, and high-sensitivity radio.

In this way, distant views, close views, videos, photos, and even sounds can all be recorded clearly.

All kinds of materials, nothing is missed.

The people brought by Brother Hui may not be very smart, but they must be quick and agile enough. While they were talking, the three of them had already prepared everything without making a fuss.

I saw Li Shuning sitting not far away, near the window.

At this time, all kinds of equipment were pointed at Li Shuning.

Ma Jun couldn't help but say, "Brother Hui, do you think Chen Yifei will be here soon?"

Brother Hui answered without thinking, "Probably. Li Shuning wouldn't drink coffee alone. He should at least have a companion."

Ma Jun and Wang Chengyang looked excited.

They were lucky enough to be able to take a picture of Chen Yifei. As for whether the legendary rumored boyfriend would appear, it all depended on luck.

If the man who picked Chen Yifei's flower really showed up, and even took a photo of the two of them being intimate, it would be like smoke coming out of our ancestors' graves.

By then, even if you can't become successful, you can still make a lot of money.

So the three of them talked in low voices while keeping their eyes on the door and observing Li Shuning's condition and movements.

Soon, something strange happened on Li Shuning's side.

Li Shuning's cell phone on the table vibrated. She looked at the screen and immediately picked up the phone to answer it.

Brother Hui quickly turned on the radio. This kind of equipment is quite expensive and can collect the voice of the target person from more than ten meters away. No matter how soft the voice is, it can be heard clearly and recorded.

"Hello, Mr. Hu."

"Yes, I'm already in the cafe, just come over."

"Okay, I'm in the window seat. We've met before, so it should be easy to recognize."

After saying that, Li Shuning hung up the phone and continued drinking coffee.

Brother Hui was very excited: "Great, we are so lucky!"

Ma Jun asked: "Brother Hui, what happened? How lucky are you?"

"Didn't you hear Li Shuning talking on the phone just now? That guy named Hu is here!"

"Which one is surnamed Hu?"

Ma Jun and Wang Chengyang were stunned at first and didn't react for a while.

Suddenly, their eyes lit up, and they obviously knew who the man with the surname Hu was.

"Yes, yes, yes! How could I forget! Isn't the man Chen Yifei is dating surnamed Hu?"

"Yeah, so he's here. This is great, Brother Hui. Isn't this what we call catching them all in one fell swoop?"

Brother Hui waved his hand and said, "Don't be so happy so early. Let's see what happens. Hide the camera and don't let anyone find it. Do you hear me?"

"I see! This isn't the first time we've done this."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Brother Hui is indeed experienced and deserves the title of senior paparazzi. He can even be said to be the chief paparazzi.

Although the other two younger brothers are a little immature, they are quite efficient and reliable when doing their work.

The three of them were talking and drinking coffee at the same time, their expressions were normal, and there was no sense of being sneaky at all. They were truly masters of lurking.

If this happened in an island country, it would require at least a few experienced ninjas.

To be honest, Brother Hui is well-known. No one in the circle has not heard of him. People in the entertainment industry should also know him.

For example, there is no reason why an agent as experienced as Li Shuning would not know Brother Hui, but the problem is that it is very likely that he really does not know him.

This is where Brother Hui's brilliance lies. When he contacts media people, people in the entertainment industry, or even his peers, he generally does not reveal his true face.

Either they wear masks or simply hide behind the scenes and let middlemen to communicate. Few senior media people know what Hui Ge looks like, but they are all tight-lipped and have not revealed his identity.

So, theoretically, Li Shuning doesn’t know Brother Hui, at least Brother Hui thinks so.

A moment later, someone came in, this time it was a young man.

Ma Jun said, "Brother Hui, is this the one? The one with the surname Hu."

Brother Hui had also seen it, nodded and said, "Yes, it's him, Hu Jiangshan."

Brother Hui was right. He had seen Hu Jiangshan’s photo a long time ago, and the person who came in was indeed Hu Jiangshan.

Hu Jiangshan looked around and soon found Li Shuning.

Li Shuning also waved to Hu Jiangshan, then stood up and shook hands with Hu Jiangshan who was walking towards him.

The two sat opposite each other.

Brother Hui and his friends were very excited and felt extremely lucky!

It feels like this could really be the best result of my paparazzi career.

Ma Jun couldn't help but ask, "Brother Hui, what do you think Li Shuning will talk to Hu Jiangshan about?"

Brother Hui said calmly: "You are not that stupid, are you? Can't you guess it?" Wang Chengyang said excitedly: "Brother Hui, I guessed it! I know what happened. Li Shuning must have negotiated with Hu Jiangshan, because Hu Jiangshan had an affair with Chen Yifei and was discovered. The agency must want to suppress the matter!"

Ma Jun nodded: "Yes, that must be the case. Hu Jiangshan is indeed good-looking. No wonder even Chen Yifei fell for him."

Ma Jun groaned: "What a pity for Chen Yifei, she was such a pure and innocent girl, but her image as a jade girl is ruined."

Wang Chengyang asked: "How will they solve this problem? Will this Hu guy take the money and leave?"

Ma Jun shook his head: "I heard that this Hu is a wealthy man, and seems to be related to a wealthy family in Hong Kong Island, so he should not be short of money."

Wang Chengyang said: "Not necessarily. Sometimes the rich are just as indifferent and superficial."

Brother Hui waved his hand: "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. We are high-end paparazzi. We can't just make up stories. We must have real evidence."

Wang Chengyang: "Brother Hui, do you think Chen Yifei will show up in a while?"

Brother Hui pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "It's hard to say. Most likely, Li Shuning made a private appointment with Hu Jiangshan, and Chen Yifei may not know about it."

Ma Jun thought about it and said, "That's not right. If Li Shuning deliberately kept Chen Yifei in the dark, why did he ask Hu to meet here? Isn't Chen Yifei in this hotel? And Chen Yifei has to drink coffee at this time every day. If she is suddenly not allowed to come, won't she be suspicious?"

Brother Hui looked at Ma Jun and felt that there was some truth in what he said.

Brother Hui said: "We don't need to guess blindly, just wait and see how the situation develops. Anyway, we have come this far, and the mystery will surely be solved by us."

"that's right!"

"Brother Hui is wise!"

At this time, Brother Hui and the other three calmed down, held their breath, and listened attentively to the conversation between Li Shuning and Hu Jiangshan.

However, at the beginning, the two of them were just greeting each other and chatting, and did not mention Chen Yifei at all.

This made Brother Hui and others a little impatient.

Ma Jun couldn't help but say, "Damn it, what are they talking about? Why are they talking about all this nonsense? Let's get down to business!"

Wang Chengyang also said: "That's right, these two are too lazy, talking about trivial matters. What's there to talk about?"

Brother Hui took a sip of coffee and said calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry? You can't be impatient in this line of work. If you are impatient, you won't get anything done. You need to hone your character to do well!"

Ma Jun and Wang Chengyang nodded. In fact, they also knew this truth, but they had just entered the industry for a short time and were relatively young, so they could not keep their composure.

At the same time, Hu Jiangshan and Li Shuning had a good chat. The two had met once before in the imperial capital, and Li Shuning had a very good impression of Hu Jiangshan at that time. She thought that if Hu Jiangshan went into acting, he would most likely become famous.

Li Shuning joked, "Boss Hu, would you like to consider entering the entertainment industry? Even a part-time job is fine. I can recommend a good role for you. Go and audition. If a director really likes you, you might become famous."

Hu Jiangshan waved his hand: "Sister Ning, please don't talk down to me. I know my own strengths. Acting is not that easy. Even for a very capable professional actor, success depends on a bit of luck."

Li Shuning laughed: "Boss Hu, you don't understand this industry. Actors who are easy to succeed have a certain temperament or aura. In more common terms, they are popular with the audience and are easy to attract fans. For example, Yifei has that kind of temperament. You, too, do have that kind of feeling."

"Me? Sister Ning, you must be joking."

Li Shuning smiled slightly: "I have been in this industry for so many years, I can judge people correctly."

Hu Jiangshan smiled and said, "Sister Ning, I'll take this as a disguised compliment on my handsomeness."

Of course Hu Jiangshan couldn't take it seriously. Li Shuning had no reason to let an amateur like him act. It was just a joke.

Even if what Li Shuning said was true, Hu Jiangshan would not really go to act. He doesn't have the time for that as he has a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

At this moment, Hu Jiangshan felt strange gazes and turned his head suddenly. The three people quickly turned back together.

The behavior is really suspicious.

Hu Jiangshan said to Li Shuning calmly: "Sister Ning, it seems that we are being targeted."

Li Shuning smiled: "Of course, Boss Hu, there are more than one group of people watching us here. It's such a small coffee shop, I don't know how many of them are paparazzi or entertainment reporters."

"That……"

Hu Jiangshan's expression changed, and he obviously understood Li Shuning's intention. He deliberately met and chatted with Hu Jiangshan here just to attract those paparazzi and entertainment reporters.

This is the only way to get the desired information out there and achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Li Shuying said, "Mr. Hu, let's get straight to the point. Shouldn't you have decided on the image spokesperson for your space launch site?"

Hu Jiangshan looked at Li Shuning and said, "We have indeed discussed it for a long time, and it should be decided. I wonder if Yifei agrees?"

Li Shuning almost gave Hu Jiangshan a thumbs up.

This was exactly what Li Shuning wanted to hear, and Hu Jiangshan said it so quickly, without even waiting for Li Shuning to guide him.

Hui Ge and the other three who were listening not far away had a stunned expression and looked at each other.

Obviously, several people's brains short-circuited for a moment.

Ma Jun whispered, "What are they talking about? Hu Jiangshan is looking for a spokesperson? And he wants to invite Chen Yifei?"

Wang Chengyang asked: "What does Hu Jiangshan do? How much does it cost to hire Chen Yifei as the spokesperson?"

Ma Jun said, "Stupid, if Hu Jiangshan and Chen Yifei were dating, then they wouldn't need to spend money."

"Oh, that's right, I must take advantage of this!"

Wang Chengyang immediately said, "No, if the two were having an affair, how could they talk about it publicly? They should avoid meeting in public."

Brother Hui's expression kept changing, and he said, "Could it be that Chen Yifei and this guy named Hu are not having an affair?"

"Or……"

Brother Hui shook his head: "No, they might be fooling us. Maybe the news they released is fake. They did it on purpose!"

Ma Jun asked, "How can they fool us? Do they know we are here?"

"They may know that they are being watched, so they deliberately say such nonsense. I don't believe that the Hu family really wants to find an image spokesperson. Even if they do, they will not find Chen Yifei!"

At the same time, Hu Jiangshan and Li Shuning had already gotten to the point.

Hu Jiangshan said: "Sister Ming, of course I want to invite a big star like Yifei to be our image spokesperson, but I'm worried that I can't afford it."

Li Shuning laughed: "What's the matter? Your Hong Kong Island Hu family is a wealthy family, so you shouldn't be short of money. You can invite any big star."

"Hey! My family is my family, and I am me. I can't ask my family to pay for my endorsement fees. That would be too pathetic!"

Li Shuning smiled and said, "Boss Hu, don't worry about this. This is our first cooperation. I know Yifei has worked with you before, so the endorsement fee is negotiable. For example, this amount..."

As he spoke, Li Shuning punched in a few numbers on the calculator on his phone and pushed it directly in front of Hu Jiangshan.

The cell phone was placed on the table, so no matter how hard Hui and the other three tried, they couldn't take a picture. The other entertainment reporters and paparazzi who were further away and lurking there were even more helpless.

Hu Jiangshan was surprised when he saw the numbers on the phone screen.

This number is obviously unexpected.
