From tycoon to global chaebol

Chapter 255
Zhang Manli seemed to see that Li Jing had an idea, so she asked, "Ah Jing, do you have an idea?"

Li Jing smiled mysteriously and said, "Yes, I just don't know if it will work or not!"

"Tell me about it," Zhang Manli said.

Li Jing smiled and said, "Sister Manli, it depends on your relationship."

"I've tried to persuade him through connections, but it still doesn't work!" Zhang Manli said.

Li Jing smiled and said, "This time I want to use your relationship to draw a big cake for Zhou Ziqiang. Of course, this cake is all real. But you need to draw it for him."

"If it's true, why didn't you tell him directly?" Zhang Manli said.

"He won't believe it." Li Jing smiled.

"Why do you disagree?" Zhang Manli asked.

"Because he already has a prejudice against Mr. Qin, so what I say, no matter how true it is, it will be discounted when I say it in my mouth. And you are his good friend, you listen to what you say What I said, it may be added to him, because it is inside information to him! Let me tell you this, Sister Manli, do you understand?" Li Jing looked at Zhang Manli and asked.

Zhang Manli nodded and said, "I understand, then I'll give it a try, but you have to tell me the cake first!"

"Okay, I'll tell you something!" After speaking, Li Jing first drew the cake for Zhang Manli.

After Zhang Manli heard this, she said with emotion: "My God, I never thought that Mr. Qin would have such a big goal. He wants to enter Hollywood!"

"Of course, and Mr. Qin's movies are all big productions, which are unmatched by these Hong Kong island film companies." Li Jing laughed.

Zhang Manli also nodded in agreement, but she immediately frowned.

Li Jing asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Manli frowned and said, "Ah Jing, after all you say, you are going to cooperate with the inland people!"

"So, I asked you to tell a lie in front of Zhou Ziqiang!" Li Jing said.

"What lies!" Zhang Manli asked.

Li Jing said: "You said that your grandfather also participated in the war, but it was from the Communist army. He was killed by the national army. It is best to find a few photos. Your purpose is to tell him, that is In war, death is normal, and hatred should not be inherited. Also, the inland area has begun to open up, and it is no longer a closed world. Let’s talk about Mr. Qin, saying that his grandfather’s brother also died on the battlefield, But Mr. Qin has no hatred, and neither do you. In fact, many people died on the battlefield, why do you still hold hatred and give up your future?"

After listening to Li Jing's words, Zhang Manli thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, I will talk to Zhou Ziqiang, but I can't guarantee success."

Li Jing smiled and said: "As long as you can paint the cake well, you will be successful. I think Zhou Ziqiang was squeezed out by Shao Brothers because he must have a better idea and couldn't implement it, so it's because of his different ideas. Those who left Shaw Brothers."

After hearing Li Jing's words, Zhang Manli nodded and said, "Well, that's what you said, but as far as I know, Zhou Ziqiang's reputation in Shaw Brothers has already surpassed that of Shao Yifu, so he was squeezed out by Shao Yifu." .”

Li Jing said: "But no matter what! You have to give it a try."

Zhang Manli nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, Ah Jing! I'll ask him out tomorrow night."

"Only date him?" Li Jing asked.

"Who else are you dating? Do you want to bring you?" Zhang Manli said with a smile.

"Then I might as well say it myself!" Li Jing said with a smile.

Zhang Manli said with a smile: "I know your tricks, you bastard. You mean to ask me to have a few more friends for a party, and then take the opportunity to speak out, right?"

"Sister Manli, you are so smart!" Li Jing said with a smile.

Zhang Manli said with a smile: "No matter how smart you are, it's not as smart as yours!"

"Sister Manli was joking." Li Jing laughed.

The two laughed, and left after drinking coffee.

The next night, Zhang Manli invited some good friends and Zhou Ziqiang to have a party at her home.At the beginning, everyone was having fun together, and Zhang Manli didn't mention anything about Li Jing and Qin Yang.

After drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, Zhang Manli went to smoke on the balcony by herself, and Zhou Ziqiang walked over.He also lit a cigarette, and the wind from the balcony was blowing their hair, which was very cool.

It's late autumn, and the nights on Hong Kong Island are a bit cool.

"Manli, what's the matter? Are you unhappy?" Zhou Ziqiang asked.

"It's nothing, I remembered my grandfather." Zhang Manli said.

"Your grandfather?" Zhou Ziqiang asked, frowning.

Zhang Manli nodded and said, "Yes, my grandfather."

"Oh, it seems that your grandfather is also very kind to you!" Zhou Ziqiang said.

"Well, grandpa was very kind to me, but unfortunately, he died when I was very young." Zhang Manli said.

"Sacrificed? Did your grandfather also die on the battlefield?" Zhou Ziqiang asked curiously.

Zhang Manli nodded and said, "Yes, he died on the battlefield."

"He also died in the interior?" Zhou Ziqiang asked.

"Yes, it was the time of the civil war." Zhang Manli said.

"My grandfather also died at that time." Zhou Ziqiang said with a sigh.

Zhang Manli said, "Really? Why didn't I hear you say that?"

Zhou Ziqiang sighed: "There is nothing to say." He flicked the cigarette ash.

"Then is your grandfather the national army or the communist army?" Zhang Manli asked.

"National Army!" Zhou Ziqiang said.He asked again, "Where's your grandfather?"

Zhang Manli said: "Contrary to your grandfather, it is the Communist Army!"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziqiang was taken aback for a moment, then froze.

Zhang Manli was not in a hurry to speak, and smoked slowly.

After a while, Zhou Ziqiang asked, "Then do you hate the national army very much?"

"Hate?" Zhang Manli shook her head and said, "No, there's nothing to hate about it. No one survives a war! It's just that our grandpa's life was bad."

Zhou Ziqiang said: "You don't know how vicious those communist armies are..." He suddenly realized that something was wrong with his words, after all, Zhang Manli's grandfather was the communist army, and it would not be wise to say that the communist army is not good at this time s Choice.

"What do you want to say?" Zhang Manli asked.

"No, nothing!" Zhou Ziqiang smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Manli said lightly: "I know, you want to say how brutal the Communist Army is?"

Zhou Ziqiang smiled, as a tacit consent.

Zhang Manli asked, "Do you know what we said?"

"How to say?" Zhou Ziqiang asked.

"Your national army is just as brutal!" Zhang Manli said.

"How is this possible? My grandfather is a good man!" Zhou Ziqiang said.

"Then my grandfather is a bad guy?" Zhang Manli asked back.

This sentence immediately left Zhou Ziqiang speechless.
