A grand feast for the Chinese entertainment industry

Chapter 98 The Old Bentley

A satisfying sexual encounter is worth more than a thousand words.

Amidst the entanglement of bodies and the dripping juices, many words are unnecessary; that familiar feeling returns.

It seems that the little misunderstanding from back then has completely passed in an instant.

She nestled in his arms again, breathing in his scent, her fingers tracing the small crease between the muscles of his abdomen, gently kissing the sweat on his chest muscles. What more needed to be said?

I don't know how many minutes passed, but the only sound in the room was the increasingly slow breathing of the two people.

"To be honest, this is all your fault! Ugh... Now every time I finish my business, I really want a cigarette!"

She smiled, stood up, and tilted her head back. "Shall I get it for you?"

Lin Jianlu rubbed her firm buttocks, "What the hell! If you keep smoking me, I'll get addicted again! Quit! I won't smoke anymore, it's no good!"

Lin Qingxia looked at him with her bright eyes and suddenly said, "I'll quit too! I won't smoke anymore!"

Lin Jianlu chuckled and looked at her, "So you'll wait until you've tricked an old man before you smoke?"

She chuckled, then leaned in to kiss him repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice. "Old men are too clever; they're not easy to fool! You might as well pity me!"

Lin Jianlu glanced at her, thinking something had happened, "What's wrong?"

She smiled, her beautiful eyes turning away without saying a word. Instead, she leaned back down, her slender fingers sliding along the edges of Lin Jianlu's chest muscles. Suddenly, she spoke again, looking at him with a smile, "Am I sexy this time?"

"Sexy!"

"puff……"

She chuckled, and couldn't resist leaning in again to give Lin Jianlu two quick kisses on the cheek, like a chick pecking at rice. Lin Jianlu glanced at her again, "You're acting strange today!"

She smiled, hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "That Mr. Zhang Heping in the capital not only invited me to the capital to help with things like company registration and site selection, but also invited me to be the company's general manager. I told him I didn't know how to do business and had no experience in managing a company, but he was quite insistent..."

As they spoke, they glanced up at him.

"Are you excited?"

"No, not really. It's just..."

"Want to live in the capital?"

She stopped talking and smiled, pursing her lips.

Got it, the capital city...

Just as Lin Jianlu was considering whether it was appropriate for her to go to the capital to become the general manager of Forbidden City Film Company, she suddenly came to her senses and asked in surprise, "You don't actually like me, do you?"

Lin Qingxia looked at him without saying a word.

Are you kidding me? We're practically friends, right?
I remember we agreed from the very first time that it would only happen once, and it was she who said it. Then she promised to make it up to her the next day, which led to the series of events that followed. But even after that, everyone probably assumed that once she found an older man she felt she could marry, our relationship would end... right?

Lin Jianlu looked at her intently, and their eyes met.

Old Bentley is definitely Bentley. She recently lost weight successfully, which must have been due to a lot of exercise. Her skin is delicate and firm, no less stunning than when she was in her early thirties.

"Are you serious?"

She actually nodded.

"Holy crap... Sister, don't be silly. Someone like me, who's a womanizer and has several girlfriends, and even more you don't know about, how could a seasoned veteran like you actually fall for me?"

"But you're so handsome!"

"..."

"You're not only handsome, you're brave! Brave like a mad dog! I don't want to marry an old man who's always thinking about cheating on me with you! Since I can't forget you, I might as well stick to you from the beginning and never let go!"

"..."

“A girl like Leung Wing-ki is unreliable. I’m not saying anything bad about her, but you’re the smartest person I’ve ever met, you can understand this. She has a bright future ahead of her, and so much youth left. She might be infatuated with you for a few years, but she won’t really stay by your side forever!”

"..."

"No matter how good you are, a proud girl in her early twenties will never accept your philandering. How many years can you stay famous? She has such good resources, she'll become a big star soon, maybe not as famous as you at her peak, but she'll still make enough money. She'll date you for a few years, but in the end she'll still fall into someone else's arms!"

"..."

"But I'm different. Ah Lu, I'm forty-two years old, and I want to settle down! I don't have any other ambitions. I want to be with you. I can still look good for a few more years, right? I won't make you get tired of me so quickly, will I? Whatever you want me to do, I'll do. If you want me to go to the capital to be with you, I can go to the capital to be with you!"

"..."

"I don't want your marriage, I know I can't afford it. A lover would be alright, wouldn't it? Please have pity on me, and for the sake of how much I like you, could you at least give me a child?"

"..."

"Actually, I don't even need you to support me. Besides this house, I also have another house in Taipei, which together are worth more than ten million Hong Kong dollars. I also have stocks... Although they are stuck, they are still worth ten million. I can probably support myself. Of course, you certainly won't lack my little expenses. This year, I guess no artist in all of Asia has earned more than you, not even Andy Lau."

"..." "Furthermore, if you don't want to, the child can even take my surname..."

"Oh my god, I finally found a place to interject! You're talking nonsense! Even if it has your surname, it's still Lin!"—She paused for a moment, then burst out laughing. After thinking for a moment, she laughed again, "That's right! As long as it's our child, it will definitely have the surname Lin... Hahaha!"

In an instant, the tender and romantic tone and atmosphere she had just painstakingly created were completely ruined by her own laughter!
I had to switch to another style—acting cute, "Ah Lu..."

Ah……

Completely unexpected.

But strangely enough, I didn't feel particularly frightened.
Could it be that I actually like older women, and even want to keep her as a mistress and have her have my child?

He took a deep breath, raised his hand and patted her bottom, "Go get me a cigarette, I'm not going to quit yet!"

She laughed, immediately got up, ran naked to the living room, grabbed her cigarettes and an ashtray. This time, she didn't play any tricks; she simply took one out, put it in Lin Jianlu's mouth, and lit it for him herself.

Her figure is as beautiful as jade.

Especially when they run with their buttocks tucked in, their graceful swaying is a sight to behold.

A massive, swirling dragon breath erupted—

"Damn! How come I never realized I was such a lecherous person before!"

…………

I stayed at Brigitte Lin's house for one night.

He was going out to socialize the next day—actually, he was growing increasingly annoyed by everything that was happening along the way. He would rather spend that time with his older aunt. Besides, he was also a little anxious to go to Taiwan and keep Chen Shuhua company.

Previously, when the three of them had dinner together at Su Huilun's house, she looked so haggard that Lin Jianlu felt very sorry for her.

However, there's no way around it; you can't completely abandon your friends.

Karen Mok's first album after switching to Rock Records, "Full Body," was released on October 1st. The cover features a groundbreaking and controversial photo—a nude photo of her from behind.

Producer Lee Tsung-sheng!

As a result, sales were a disastrous failure.

Publicly, it was claimed that over 10 copies had been sold, but the media suspected that only around 3 had been sold. However, in such cases, it's better to keep it from outsiders than to keep it from insiders. Keeping it from outsiders is for the sake of face, but keeping it from insiders is because it can't be kept secret forever. When Lao Li called, he said that in fact, nearly a month after its release, "The Whole Body" had only sold about 3000 copies—Karen Mok was deeply saddened.

Old Li was greatly frustrated.

Because of his relationship with Lam Yee-lin, he has been spending more and more time in Hong Kong in recent years. Producing Karen Mok's album is also an attempt to expand his territory in Hong Kong again. During this period, the old Li that Lin Jianlu knew was still quite ambitious and had great aspirations.

The mission got off to a bad start, and the first attempt ended in failure.

Let's go drinking.

It would be embarrassing to bring outsiders, so everyone was an expert and an old friend.

Old Li, Luo Dayou, Huang Zhan, Lin Jianlu, Lin Yilian, Karen Mok.

It is said that Leslie Cheung has been in poor health recently, and his doctor advised him to abstain from alcohol. He decided to quit for a month and did not come.

Drink up! Drowning your sorrows in alcohol is a way to relax.

They were all old acquaintances, except for Karen Mok, whom he was meeting for the first time. However, Karen Mok was clearly at a low point in her life at the time, so she was neither there to chase after a star nor to say anything to show her goodwill—she looked completely dejected.

Old Li was clearly not willing to admit defeat; he wanted to personally take charge and produce another album for Karen Mok.

He wasn't after money; he wanted to prove himself.

So, the meaning is quite clear: Karen Mok is someone he admires and strongly recommended signing. He's also the producer of the album. Now that it's not selling well, although he keeps saying he wants to prove himself and that the new album must turn things around, he's not really that confident. So... he's just giving her a song!
Before the drinks were even finished, a song was sung.

They even brought up the old story, insisting that when they went to the capital to make a cameo appearance in "Spicy Love Soup," Lin Jianlu promised on the phone that he would write a song for Lin Yilian—that counts as two songs!

The next day, early in the morning, he sent his assistant, Lin Xilei, to deliver two songs to Lao Li.

One of the songs is dedicated to Karen Mok, "Cloudy Day".

He was absolutely certain that the song did not exist yet.

The second song was for Lin Yilian, "May I Hold You?" He had sung this song so many times in his previous life that he was certain it was a work that came out in 1999. Given the limited production capacity in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it was impossible for it to have been written by now.

In short, that's considered a satisfactory outcome.

When Lao Li called, Lin Jianlu was already on his way to visit the set of "All's Well, Ends Well 97" with Brigitte Lin and Ge Fuhong. Huang Baiming had a good relationship with Sylvia Chang and was also quite acquainted with Ge Fuhong. Brigitte Lin had also acted in his films. He had invited Lin Jianlu to play a role many times before, but Lin Jianlu already felt that cameos were too much, let alone playing a role, so he insisted on declining.

But despite his polite refusal, he was in Hong Kong, so visiting him on set was a way of getting to know each other and easing tensions – that's just his style.

"Hey, alright, alright, Brother Li, as long as you're satisfied! Let's stop with all this mutual flattery. I'll just write whatever comes to mind, use it as you see fit, but you can't come looking for me again and insist that I promised something or that we've settled the score!"

On the other end of the phone, Old Li laughed heartily.
