Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 60: Past Events in Peking

The few of them were indulging in the fun until 1 a.m. before they dispersed. Only Liu Zeyu and Zhang Tianshuo were left smoking and waiting for the driver in front of Tianshang Renjian.

Liu Zeyu said with an unhappy look on his face: "Master Zhang, you are late today."

"Mr. Liu, we're really delayed today. Something happened in Langfang this afternoon!"

"I...I want to ask you for a favor!"

Liu Zeyu saw that his face looked a little gloomy. Based on his experience and knowledge of the world, what kind of difficult situation had he encountered?
It all started with Lu Changchun, who was beside Zhang Tianshuo.

It was the day Boss Lu was showing off at the bar, when he rushed over to help Zhang Tianshuo suppress the ominous thugs...

As mentioned before, Zhang Tianshuo started out in rock music in the 80s, and has basically given up music to go into business, and also from Hey.

In 1999, his first "Friends Disco" was officially opened. Judging from his temperament and the name of the bar, there are bound to be many freeloaders in this bar!
People in the underworld called him Master Zhang, and his friends were all over the world. Today one of them would come to ask for money, and tomorrow another one would come to get drunk. In less than a year, the bar closed down.

In addition, the social security in that era was not very good, and even a ferocious man like him would be harassed and caused trouble by thugs.

Until he met this Northeast man named Lu Changchun.

Lu Changchun was a man of all talents, both civil and military. He recruited younger brothers for Zhang and managed the bar. In two years, he helped Mr. Zhang's business flourish.

There are several bars with large turnover, and they also do some shady things to monopolize the performing arts market.

Zhang Tianshuo was also a little puzzled. Everything had been going smoothly and his career was thriving, but ever since the conflict with Lu Kuan, he had been in trouble. It was really weird!

First, his partner Sun Dabao in the disco on Langfang Fourth Street turned against him and proposed to split up the business.

This Langfang Fourth Street was built by the government at that time with the slogan of creating "Langfang Wangfujing". In order to expand its influence, Zhang Tianshuo was invited to be the spokesperson, and later several storefronts were transferred to him in the name of paying endorsement fees.

This is the disco he and Sun Hebao jointly own. Sun holds 70% of the shares and Zhang holds 30%, and they run the business together.

As the old saying goes, some people can only share hardships, but not wealth. The same is true when friends do business together.

Sun Hebao proposed to separate, and Zhang Tianshuo and Lu Changchun coaxed and threatened him to kick him out. Unexpectedly, he turned around and bought a larger and more crowded Red Wave disco next to the train station.

The two families fought openly and secretly, attracting each other's attention, and their resentment was deep.

Just this afternoon, unable to contain themselves any longer, the two sides engaged in an armed exchange of gunfire in front of the train station square, injuring dozens of people, both minor and serious, and causing extremely severe consequences.

Sun Hebao's bar security guard Xiao Meng died on the spot, and many others were seriously injured. Zhang Tianshuo's younger brother and brother, Lü Changchun, also escaped.

Liu Zeyu listened to his story of the fight with a grim face, then threw away his cigarette and rushed to get in the car. This was a big matter and he didn't want to get involved.

Zhang Tianshuo had finally managed to curry favor with Young Master Liu by joining forces to deal with Lu Kuan, so how could he let him go so easily?

He immediately grabbed Liu Zeyu's arm and said, "Young Master Liu! Young Master Liu! Please help me this time. Once we pass this level, I, Old Zhang, will be at your disposal!"

Liu Zeyu got furious when he saw his ugly face that looked like the surface of the moon. Even a second-generation like him knew how to use his brain to trip others up, so why did you, a fat pig, still engage in fighting and killing?

What era is this? Don’t you know that this is a society ruled by law?

"How can I help you? I'm a college student, how can I help you?"

Zhang Tianshuo looked around to see if there was anyone around, then he mustered up the courage to stammer, "The leader..."

"Shut up! Who are you trying to trick? Who can handle such a big case?"

Liu Zeyu was a little upset and wanted to leave, but when he thought of Lu Kuan's hateful face, he said something coldly before getting into the car.

"Don't let anyone else know about this. Handle it yourself first and wait for news." "Hey! Hey! Thank you, Mr. Liu!"

"Master, where are you going back to?"

Liu Zeyu silently lit a Red Panda cigarette, and after a long while he struggled to exhale the smoke: "Let's go to my dad's place."

The differences in life and class can never be erased. Even someone like Liu Zeyu, who is in his early twenties, has long been immersed in conspiracies and intrigues and has learned them by himself.

Most second-generation people are not stupid, they are just bad. In fact, they know best how to control people's hearts, use rules and avoid risks.

He asked Zhang Tianshuo not to let anyone else know about this, but can he really do that?
When Lu Kuan saw the front-page headline of the "Langfang Brawl" in the newspaper the next day, it meant that the conspiracy of the two men was doomed to fail.

It's a pity that Master Zhang and Master Liu don't understand this yet.

"You're still good, Director Lu. You look good today!"

Liu Xiaoli accompanied her daughter in doing morning exercises and greeted Lu Kuan who was walking towards her leisurely.

Boss Lu was beaming with joy over a piece of news in the morning newspaper, and was now joking with Liu Xiaoli.

"Xiao Liu, when I saw you and Aunt Liu standing together, I thought of a proverb!"

Liu Yifei silently looked at the director who didn't like to wash his hands. Based on her experience, there was no good words below, and it was definitely another teasing at her.

It's either thick legs, chapped teeth, or chubby face. Anyway, it's just the same few descriptions over and over again. She has become desensitized to them.

Liu Xiaoli looked at him curiously. Seeing that no one was there to support him, Boss Lu just talked to himself.

"Liu Yifei opened the door for Aunt Liu—so pretty!"

"Go away, little brat, you're making fun of your aunt!"

Liu Xiaoli embarrassedly fanned the air, but the corners of her mouth that she couldn't suppress betrayed her.

You bastard, so disgusting!
Concubine Liu Yi was furious in her heart.

The Hong Kong trio also finished their breakfast and arrived on the set: "Good morning, Director!"

Winners never hesitate to show kindness to losers. This is a compliment to their success, just like Chen Guanxi now.

Yu Wenle was still the same as usual, and Nicholas Tse usually did not show his emotions. Although he often had disputes with the director, there was no possibility of any conflicts being shown on the surface.

This is also the request of agent Huo Wenxi.

But why does Chen Guanxi feel like he's just eating shit and finding peanuts today? He's smiling slyly and greeting me.

Although Lu Kuan couldn't understand where his transformation came from, he knew that it was closely related to the three people's joining forces with Liu Zeyu in the past few days.

"What are you doing!"

"go out!"

"Hey! Auntie, this is the crew, you can't come in!"

Suddenly, a few screams were heard from the staff outside the studio, and a group of old men in two-toned T-shirts and old ladies who were crying rushed in.

　The fight was real, but there was someone else behind Zhang, so I can’t write about it. Readers can just enjoy it and there’s no need to delve into it.
