Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 60 This kid is going to be rich
As a Chinese, Li Ming was also very distressed when he saw the tragic news about the flood in East China.

"I never thought you had such a loving heart."

Li Ming patted Cao Jian's shoulder, feeling that they shared the same ideals, and then said, "But I'm only a few years older than you. I might not have enough prestige to organize a charity performance."

"Then what do we do?"

"I'll figure out a way to deal with this."

Although Li Ming knew that he did not have enough prestige, he still had some connections.

After a moment's silence, he picked up the newspaper and said, "Come with me."

Bringing Cao Jian, Li Ming came to Zhang Xueyou's private office.

Zhang Xueyou has been famous for several years. Although he has not yet become a singing god, he has long been the leading singer of PolyGram and naturally has an independent office.

"Brother Xueyou, there's been a massive flood in the mainland, and I want you to help organize a charity performance."

As soon as Li Ming entered the room, he expressed his thoughts directly without any extra words, which showed how anxious he was.

"Charity performance?"

Zhang Xueyou had watched the news that morning and was just thinking about how to donate some money when he heard Li Ming's suggestion and asked, "Did you come up with that?"

Li Ming shook his head: "No, it was Cao Jian who came up with it."

"Cao Jian?"

Zhang Xueyou met Cao Jian several times in the company, but there were too many people in PolyGram and he didn't read novels. He just heard that there was a good song composed by Cao Jian.

Now when I heard this name, I realized the young man standing behind Li Ming.

First impression is that he looks pretty good.

"Brother Xueyou, I still need your help with this matter."

Cao Jian had never spoken to Zhang Xue before, but when he saw Brother Wuying looking at him, he hurried forward and spoke.

"You're pretty good."

Zhang Xueyou praised him, remembered the newcomer that the company had just signed, then took out his cell phone, found a number and dialed it.

"Brother Guorong, have you seen the news? There's been a serious flood in mainland China. A friend at the company suggested holding a charity performance in Hong Kong. I think it's a great idea. Could you help contact them? What do you think?"

Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Guorong have co-starred in "A Chinese Ghost Story 2" and they are quite familiar with each other.

Moreover, Zhang Guorong's status in the entertainment industry is higher than anyone present.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

After finishing the call, Zhang Xueyou said to Li Ming and Cao Jian, "My brother has already agreed to help. It's no problem for him to come forward."

"Thank you, Brother Xueyou."

Whether in the mainland or Hong Kong, the entertainment industry is always a circle.

Cao Jian went to find Li Ming, Li Ming went to find Zhang Xueyou, and Zhang Xueyou went to find Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong has an extraordinary status in Hong Kong. He has the support of bigwigs behind him and is also very popular.

With him here, there's certainly no problem.

Since the senior had come forward, Cao Jian no longer asked any more questions.

For him, as long as he can donate some money, nothing else matters.

"But, has the 18 million Hong Kong dollars arrived?"

Cao Jian suddenly remembered that he still had a signing fee to pay, and he had been busy recently and had not gone to the bank to check his account.

Since I have this money, I must donate some of it, which is also a contribution to my compatriots.

He has already recorded more than half of his first album in Hong Kong, with only "The Sea" left to record.

Cao Jian had just finished his morning work and was about to go downstairs to the bank to check his accounts when he saw Zhang Xueyou approaching: "Ajian, are you busy this afternoon?"

"It's okay, what's up, Xueyou brother?"

"Brother Leslie Cheung just called and said we should go have tea together this afternoon to discuss the charity performance, and asked me to invite you along."

"No problem, I just happen to get to know my brother."

Cao Jian was quite surprised that Zhang Guorong invited him to have tea together.

After all, he was just a newcomer in Hong Kong. After asking his agent for leave, Cao Jian, Zhang Xueyou, and Li Ming went to a restaurant.

As soon as he entered the door, Cao Jian discovered that in addition to Zhang Guorong, there was also a familiar woman here.

And this woman is actually the big sister of the Hong Kong music scene, known as the daughter of Hong Kong, Anita Mui.

At this time, Mei Yanfang was just 28 years old and in the prime of her life.

She looks mature and elegant in a black dress.

Although Zhang Guorong is already in his thirties, he looks very young and is still as handsome as ever.

When Cao Jian saw the two of them, he felt like he was watching "Rouge".

After Zhang Xueyou and Li Ming finished greeting everyone, Cao Jian stepped forward and said, "Hello, two seniors."

Mei Yanfang looked Cao Jian up and down and found that although this young man was not as handsome as Zhang Guorong and Li Mingshuai, he was not far behind and was much better than Zhang Xueyou.

Moreover, Cao Jian was not as cautious as other newcomers when they saw him.

He nodded gently and smiled, "Are you the Cao Jian who was organizing the charity performance? The author of 'A Step into the Past' and 'The Original Scenery of Hometown'? And you're the one who sang 'Walk Away with Elegance'?"

"Haha, it's me."

Cao Jian admitted it openly.

Fortunately, I used a pen name in "Young and Dangerous", otherwise people would think I was a gangster who liked fighting and killing.

When Zhang Guorong heard that Cao Jian could not only write songs, but also write novels and compose music, he immediately felt that this young man was extraordinary.

Being able to write songs is very common in the Hong Kong music scene, but being able to write an amazing instrumental piece and a best-selling book is rare.

Mei Yanfang smiled and said, "Xiao Cao, you were the first to want to organize a charity performance. It seems that you are not only talented, but also very caring."

"Sister Mei is more compassionate. Otherwise, she wouldn't have supported this proposal immediately if I had proposed it."

Although he was facing two seniors, Cao Jian was not nervous and spoke calmly.

Mei Yanfang was used to hearing all kinds of compliments, but Cao Jian's kind praise really brightened her mood. She pointed to the seat next to her and said, "This young man is very good. Come over and have a chat."

This surprised Cao Jian a little.

Sister Mei was very pretty. Faced with the invitation from such a beautiful elder sister, he hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, I smelled a fragrance, which is the smell of a mature woman.

Different from the fragrance of a young girl, but equally alluring.

Seeing that Cao Jian was not at all reserved, Mei Yanfang picked up the teapot, poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "Xiao Cao, since you were the one who proposed the charity performance, what are your thoughts?"

"Why are you asking me that?"

Cao Jian glanced at Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang and found that they were both looking at him.

"I've just arrived in Hong Kong and don't know the situation here yet. If there are any mistakes I made, please forgive me, seniors."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said politely before continuing, "I think we can work with media outlets like TVB, ATV, and RTHK, and use Sister Mei's influence to call on all the stars in Hong Kong to participate in the charity performance. We're sure to receive a lot of donations."

For Cao Jian, this question was a completely open-book test.

He knew a little about that charity performance.

He had seen things like chest-breaking rocks, motorcycles leaping over walls of people, and Jackie Chan doing somersaults online.

"You actually thought the same as I did!"

When Mei Yanfang heard Cao Jian's ideas, she felt as if they were in sync, because this young man's ideas were almost the same as her own plan.

So, the more I looked at Cao Jian, the more I liked him.

Cao Jian then added, "When the time comes, we can also build another stage in Happy Valley. This way we can accommodate more audiences and attract more donations."

"well said!"

Every suggestion Cao Jian made touched Mei Yanfang's heart.

It made her feel like they were in a relationship.

She raised her teacup and said with her sexy red lips, "Xiao Cao, you think the same as I do. If you encounter any difficulties in Hong Kong in the future, just tell me."

Others just scoffed. "Are you unfamiliar with Hong Kong? You know Happy Valley, and you're still unfamiliar with it?"
However, when he saw Mei Yanfang's intention to support Cao Jian, he knew that this young man was about to become successful.
