Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 311 A Happy Reunion
"This is the place you're talking about?"

"Don't let the small size of this place fool you, the pancakes here are really good. You'll have to try them later if you don't believe me."

"Good good."

Ruan Mei helped Huang Lei inside, while Li Jiayuan stood at the door, looking at the shop sign in front of him.

"May your family be happy and your life be complete."

It sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before, but I can't quite place it right now.

"It's outrageous! The signboard is clearly ours. My grandfather originally built it. If their shop hadn't used our 'Good Moon' signboard, how could they have turned their business around?"

Oh, now that their store has grown big and their company has gone public, they're turning around and saying we forced them to give them the signboard. They're even suing Aunt Sa now. It's outrageous!

The few employees who usually worked in the bakery were no longer there; only the owner, He Ma, and her children remained.

A group of people were arguing about something, and they were having a huge fight.

"He mother!"

Suddenly, someone pushed open the door and walked in. The people talking inside were stunned, clearly not expecting a customer to come in.

He Ma's son, Guan Jia Zai (nickname), stepped forward.

"Ladies, I'm so sorry, the shop isn't open yet. How about you come this afternoon?"

"Butler, come back."

He Ma called out to her silly son and walked over to Ruan Mei and Huang Lei herself.

"Mrs. Li, Xiaomei, I'm so sorry, do you want to buy anything? We have some freshly baked egg tarts."

Ruan Mei and Huang Lei often come here to buy things. Most of the egg tarts they eat at home are bought here, and they are quite familiar with each other.

Ruan Mei also greeted He Ma's daughter, A Yue.

"What are you talking about, Aunt He?"

"what!!"

A sudden scream startled everyone in the store, and they immediately looked toward the source of the sound.

Ah Yue covered her mouth with one hand, pointed at the door with the other, her eyes darting around, and her voice trembling.

"You...you...you...you are that one?"

"Oh dear, Yue, why are you pointing at the guests like that? It's impolite."

"He Ma, he is... he is that one."

At this moment, Li Jiayuan, who had just entered, also looked shocked. He began to recall clips from the TV series, and a melody inexplicably started playing at that moment.
(When things change, people follow the crowd and drift away; when faced with choices, they can only be opportunistic. Who wants to talk about integrity?)

At that moment, Li Jiayuan remembered the sign he had seen outside earlier.

He remembered that this was the bakery from Heart of Greed 2.

What a coincidence! His company was just about to film Heart of Greed 1 when they ran into the same family that made Heart of Greed 2. Isn't that a coincidence?

"."

Brother Tongzi, why are you even giving out tasks like this? I feel like I'm being a babysitter now.

While we were having our reunion dinner, I thought about this part of the plot. I didn't need to look at the plot prompts; he was very familiar with this show.

Heart of Greed is a noisy, chaotic place.

The second part tells the story of two families. To be honest, when I watched this TV series back then, I felt that He Ma's ex-husband, Ge Zuba, was a scumbag. Later, they even tried to whitewash this man who abandoned his wife.

Even if someone repents later, can all the things they did before be forgiven?

Back then, my grandfather worked at He Ma's bakery. He and He Ma developed feelings for each other and got together. Later, my grandfather learned the craft from He Ma's father, who was also his father-in-law. But later, my grandfather got involved with a scheming woman named Yin Hong, one of the employees in the shop, and then abandoned his wife He Ma, who had stood by him through thick and thin.

Yin Hong and He Ma are good friends. Back then, her husband abandoned her and raised their daughter alone. He Ma took pity on her and took her in to work at the bakery.

【Ho Ma (Family Reunion)】

The opposite happened; this woman became the mistress and stole her husband.

After divorcing Gan Taizu, He Ma opened a shop on her own and almost lost everything. Then, she knelt down in front of her father-in-law with her former grandson and begged him to let her bakery also hang up the "Happy Moon" sign.

Zhong Fanda felt sorry for his grandson, so he agreed, which saved the shop.

Actually, if it were just about having an affair, getting a divorce would be one thing. What's most infuriating is that Gan Taizu not only cheated on his wife, but also took three children away from He Ma.

The Gan family has a total of six children.

In the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a happy family reunion, and also an autumn, but that one is Yin Hong's daughter.

Each character represents a person. The three people who were taken away by Yin Hong were Jia, Yuan, and Zhong.

Stealing someone's husband is bad enough, but stealing their son is just too much.

What made him even more speechless was that sweet potato dumpling's wife, Lu Jiamei, the most disgusting character in the whole series. How could someone like that be whitewashed and forced into making dumplings?

Even so, it cannot be denied that this is a phenomenal drama.

Suddenly, Li Jiayuan thought that since the plot wasn't going to develop well anyway, and he was already here, why not just influence the plot? He could even write about "Heart of Greed 2" and have Jiayuan Media film it.

While it's possible to film without changing the storyline, it doesn't feel right to film people's family affairs.

Since that's the case, as long as it's not their family matter, then they can film it, right?

I'm a genius!
Seeing that he had been recognized, Li Jiayuan simply walked up to the crowd and reached out his hand to A-Yue.

"Hello, I am Li Jiayuan."

Hello!

A-Yue stared at the hand suspended in mid-air, stunned.

It's understandable, really. If one day Lee Ka-shing suddenly appeared in front of you and warmly shook your hand, you would be stunned too.

Ah Yue is feeling just like this right now. That business genius on TV, the most outstanding young man in Hong Kong, the best man in Hong Kong, without a doubt, is coming to her family's shop to buy cakes, looking so fresh and beautiful.

She was pleasantly surprised when he even greeted her first.

In particular, A-Yue is a fan of Li Jiayuan; otherwise, she wouldn't have recognized her idol at a glance and reacted so strongly.

"Wow, you're that rich young master from TV."

Not only Ah Yue, but also Guan Jiazi and Ah Qing recognized Li Jiayuan.

This left Li Jiayuan feeling helpless; sometimes being too famous is a sin.

The shrewd butler sidled up to Aunt He, jumping around excitedly.

"Mom, he's Li Jiayuan, the owner of Jiayuan Group, a very wealthy man. He came to our store to buy some cakes. If we could get him to help promote our shop, that would be great."

It has to be said that Guan Jiazi is smart. If Li Jiayuan were really willing to step in and promote the Jiahao Yueyuan bakery, people all over Hong Kong would probably come here to buy some cakes to try.

It's the celebrity effect.

Looking at the young man in front of her, He Ma was equally surprised, recalling the news she had seen on television.

They can't believe such a big shot came to their little shop.

"He Ma, let me introduce you."
