Return to Hong Kong Island for a Century

Chapter 129 Someone Came to the Door (First Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)

The two started setting up, looking for a suitable place, because the water and electricity hadn't been modified, so it felt like nowhere would be a good fit.

In the evening, the two cooked together. Although the food wasn't very good, they still felt very warm and cozy.

Li Song then recounted his experience of going to school to study acting. Section Chief Zhou conveyed two points: first, that Zhu Ling could enter a professional training class and obtain a graduation certificate; however, this was something Zhu Ling had to consider herself, as she needed to determine whether she could keep up professionally.

It's possible to get a diploma through connections, but if you consistently rank at the bottom during your studies, what will people around you say?
Such connections, who join halfway through the process, are bound to attract a lot of attention.

Alternatively, joining an amateur performance class is easier to arrange; a temporary class can be held, and everyone will be an amateur.

Of course, we can't give out graduation certificates for this, otherwise it would be unfair to others. We're not in an era where the academic cliques have the final say yet. If the academic cliques say they'll do a 1+1 program, just one night plus one night, then that person will be more impressive than you after eight years of study, because they're younger and will have an advantage in future promotions. Once these 1+1 programs are implemented, there will be even more 1+1 programs.

"Let's stick with part-time classes."

"As a professional, I feel I can't keep up with the pace," Zhu Ling said after careful consideration.

“Okay, you can study for a while first, and then I’ll invest in getting you into the film crew,” Li Song continued.

"Forget it, that's not fair to others," Zhu Ling said, shaking her head.

"Then I'll invest in making a movie, is that alright?"

“That’s how you gave them an opportunity.” Li Song had wanted to say that earlier, but it felt a bit awkward to say it directly, so he didn’t mention the female lead in his first sentence.

Li Song knew that professional tasks should be left to professionals. Forcing someone to play the lead role might not achieve the desired effect. Didn't a certain actress later play many lead roles, but in the end, she was just so-so?

"Yes, as you wish." Zhu Ling felt that Li Song had arranged many things in a very orderly manner and considered everything very carefully.

Li Song also brought a lot of cosmetics and clothes this time.

Zhu Ling used to have clothes, but she didn't want to bring them here or back to her parents' home.

I'm currently struggling with what to do with the clothes I have in my company dormitory.

I'd be reluctant to lose it, since I bought it with my own money.

But bringing these clothes here reminds me of the past.

Bringing lots of clothes back to one's parents' home is not a good idea.

The clothes that Li Song brought this time solved his dilemma.

Some of the clothes I brought this time are very fashionable, but some are just average.

Li Song also said that he would bring himself the latest styles of clothes next time.

They even said it was custom-made in Hong Kong Island.

I could only bring a few emergency items for myself to wear these days.

After Li Song left last time, Zhu Ling found herself calling him and realized that he was the only person she could really talk to. She just didn't expect things to progress so quickly.

Zhu Ling has made up her mind; for now, let's leave it at that.

Because the gap between the two of them is too large, if one day I feel too tired, then it's time for me to leave!
"Your Majesty, when will you take this servant to see the Emperor Emeritus?" Li Song teased with a smile. In truth, Li Song didn't know how to face him, but sometimes one had to show a certain attitude. Of course, if he was going, then he would go. What was there to be afraid of?

"Ah Song, it's not possible yet." Zhu Ling shook her head.

"So, Your Majesty, would you like me to serve you well tonight...?"

"You little rascal, you used to look so serious..."

"That's because we haven't had a deep conversation yet, so of course we don't know each other... Don't pinch, don't pinch." Li Song quickly begged for mercy, because His Majesty had grasped a tiny bit of his soft flesh.

"Hmph!" His Majesty snorted smugly. So what if you practice martial arts? So what if you have a good physique? Watch my Divine Pinching Skill.

Although Zhu Ling refused Li Song's request to meet the Emperor Emeritus, she still felt that Li Song cared about her. After all, meeting the parents also represented the other party's feelings.

Zhu Ling just didn't know how to explain it to her father.

Because things progressed too quickly with Li Song, he brought someone back to China right after his divorce.

Moreover, he was a wealthy man, and several years younger than me.

How will my parents think? How will the people around me think?

This is also why Zhu Ling was unwilling to go out after Li Song arrived.

Because I'm afraid of running into acquaintances when I go out.

The next day, while the two were cuddling together, they started planning what to do with the rooms.

It's clear that Zhu Ling loves this place; she's thought everything through—where to plant what flowers, where to put what items.

Li Song complied with the other party's demands in everything, and the paperwork for the other courtyard houses had also been obtained.

When Li Song was in Kyoto, it was the most relaxed time for Section Chief Zhou.

Because people like Section Chief Zhou not only have to write reports, but also have to describe the situation in detail.

Moreover, as Li Song's importance grows, Section Chief Zhou has more and more to explain, and even Li Song's slightest action may be magnified and misinterpreted.

Planet Six Li Song left Kyoto, then returned to Guangzhou, and then to Hong Kong Island.

"What a tumultuous journey!" Li Song thought to himself.

This time, Li Song also obtained the oil parameters, and then offered a reward for large-scale chemical engineering technology on a second-hand platform. The technology itself was cheap, because in the field of chemistry, it would be too easy for a chemical engineer in 2080 to do this.

It just requires the chemical engineer to do it himself.

It's only $300 million, but of course, additional money will be needed for specific things like production equipment.

In addition, Li Song offered a reward for the blueprints of a cast iron motorcycle engine, which was to prepare for the export version to Africa.

Aluminum alloy engines offer numerous advantages in terms of lightweight design, fuel economy, heat dissipation, and corrosion resistance.

However, cast iron engines perform better in extreme environments and under high loads.

Extreme usage environments and high loads are common in Africa. The African motorcycle market is dominated by Indian motorcycles because Indian motorcycles perform well in extreme environments and under high loads.

India's transportation environment is extremely poor. Only in some parts of northern India, below Bang Hau, is the Deccan Plateau experiencing six months of rain and six months of drought, which is similar to the situation in Africa.

Our domestic transportation is getting better and better, so motorcycles can adapt to our own road conditions, but they may not be suitable for Africa.

Moreover, our after-sales service can be handled with just a phone call, but that's not possible in most parts of Africa.

Add to that the cost of labor, and our motorcycles are gradually being replaced by those of the Indians.

The same applies to Southeast Asia; poor transportation infrastructure requires consideration of these factors.

Brother He and Brother He returned to the house downstairs. These bodyguards would no longer need to follow Li Song once they returned to the mainland.

Then Li Song learned from He Erge and He Sige that Tian Jiahui told him to call them after he returned, saying that he had something to discuss with him.

"What's up, Lao Tian?" Li Song called Tian Jiahui as soon as he got back to his place.

"Zhang Dehua sent word that Yamaha wants to discuss outboard motors for boats!" Tian Jiahui said on the phone.

"Then let him find out what they're made of first!" Li Song said.
