Chapter 313: Good things are coming
Feihong Restaurant is a boutique mid-range restaurant serving Foshan cuisine. The prices are not expensive, but the decoration of the restaurant is also quite standard. It is a place where you can have a meal without losing face.
At the hotel entrance, Cao Jingwen and Zheng Silan were looking at Shen Junjie opposite them with contempt and a bit of disgust in their eyes. Because their good friend Xiao Yuanyuan was dumped, they naturally did not have a good attitude towards him.
Shen Junjie pleaded with a sincere expression: "What I said is true! I was blinded by greed before, but now I know I was wrong and I really want to repent. But I called Yuanyuan but she didn't answer, and she refused to meet me. You two should help me."
Zheng Silan pointed at his nose angrily and cursed: "You deserve it. What you did before made Xiao Yuanyuan so sad, so she refused to pay attention to you."
Shen Junjie begged for mercy: "Now I know I was wrong and want to make amends."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. I'm just trying to show my sincerity by inviting you to dinner."
In fact, the reason why Shen Junjie wanted to go back to his ex was because he failed in his pursuit of Lin Yuzhen, and he wanted to go back and win Xiao Yuanyuan first. After all, he would always be thinking about the meat that he had not yet eaten.
How could Cao Jingwen and Zheng Silan know Shen Junjie's dirty thoughts? Seeing that he was sincere and invited them to the restaurant for dinner, they were immediately shaken.
However, at this moment, a black Audi followed by a white business car stopped at the entrance of the hotel.
The attention of Cao Jingwen and Zheng Silan was immediately attracted.
When they saw King Liu getting out of the car, they were stunned at first, and then they became extremely excited.
Zheng Silan excitedly shook Cao Jingwen's arm, and almost jumped three feet high: "Jingwen, isn't that King Liu? But isn't he in Hong Kong? Why did he come to our Baiyun City?"
Cao Jingwen also looked along the line between Zheng Silan's fingers and was stunned by the scene in front of her. In addition to being excited, she couldn't help but reveal some doubts in her heart: "Isn't that right? There is not even a reporter next to King Liu? Did you recognize the wrong person? Maybe it's someone who looks very similar to King Liu."
However, after seeing it with her own eyes, Zheng Silan firmly believed that she was definitely not mistaken, and her tone was very firm: "Please, I have been a fan of King Liu for ten years, how could I admit my mistake? No, there is no chance, I want to take a photo with King Liu!"
Having said that, Zheng Silan ran towards King Liu.
"Hey, wait for me." Cao Jingwen was startled and hurried to catch up, fearing that something might happen to Zheng Silan.
What if there were hidden bodyguards around? With Zheng Silan's small body, wouldn't she be knocked down directly?
However, before the two had taken a few steps, they saw Lu Yiming also getting out of the Audi, chatting and laughing with King Liu as they walked towards Feihong Restaurant.
Cao Jingwen and Zheng Silan both stopped and looked at each other. The scene before them was really unbelievable .
The first person who couldn't help but express doubts was Cao Jingwen. She recognized at a glance that the young man standing next to King Liu was Lu Yiming. But because she saw it clearly, she felt even more confused: "Isn't this Lu Yiming? Why is he chatting and laughing with King Liu?"
Zheng Silan didn't think too much about it. Instead, she looked excited: "Isn't that better? We can go to him to help us get some help. We can definitely get King Liu's autograph, or even take a photo with him...ah, no, my heart is pounding when I think about taking a photo with King Liu."
Zheng Silan's face flushed and she gasped loudly. It was really the handsome face of King Liu that made her unable to control herself.
Seeing Cao Jingwen and Zheng Silan about to leave, Shen Junjie suddenly became anxious and shouted behind them: "Did you remember what I told you?"
However, the idol was right in front of them, so the two of them had no time to pay attention to him and chased straight in the direction of Lu Yiming.
Shen Junjie was so angry. Looking at Lu Yiming's tall back in the distance, he gnashed his teeth in hatred. He was even more inexplicably angry and sad. "Damn it, why is it you again? Every time I meet you, nothing good happens to me!"
Lu Yiming and his group were about to enter the hotel when they saw two people running towards them. Zhao Tiezhu, who had just gotten off the car, made a prompt decision and blocked Lu Yiming's way.
Lu Yiming took a closer look and laughed out loud: "Tiezhu, he's my classmate, it's okay."
When Cao Jingwen and Zheng Silan arrived, Lu Yiming couldn't help but ask them curiously: "Why are you two here?"
With beads of sweat dripping down her face, Cao Jingwen stopped and took a breath. Then she pouted and gave Lu Yiming a look of anger: "I was just about to ask you why you are with King Liu."
Lu Yiming said as a matter of course: "I'm inviting King Liu to dinner, what's the problem with that?"
"This is a big question! So, do you really know King Liu?"
Cao Jingwen opened her big watery eyes and looked at Lu Yiming from head to toe. She felt that the classmate in front of her was becoming more and more unfamiliar. With her little brain, she really couldn't understand how an ordinary high school student like Lu Yiming could get to know a big shot like King Liu.
“Is it strange?”
Over there, Zheng Silan had already clung to King Liu, acting like a little fangirl, and was so excited that she wanted to hug him.
King Liu was already used to such scenes and hugged Zheng Silan politely.
After hugging her idol for a while, Zheng Silan reluctantly let go, then raised her head and pitifully asked, "King Liu, can I take a photo with you?"
Seeing that the two girls seemed to be Lu Yiming's friends, King Liu naturally would not refuse this request, so he kindly said to Zheng Silan: "Of course."
He winked at Zhang Guozhong, who immediately understood and took a Polaroid camera from the car to take a photo of King Liu and Zheng Silan.
King Liu also took the initiative to sign his name on the back of the photo.
Zheng Silan got the autographed photo from her idol and her cheeks turned red with excitement. She felt like she was in a dream. She ran to Cao Jingwen, grabbed her arm tightly, and screamed and made a noise.
Although Cao Jingwen also likes King Liu's songs, she is not as crazy as Zheng Silan. She comforted Zheng Silan with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, be normal."
It was rare to run into them outside, so Lu Yiming smiled and invited them: "Have you eaten yet? How about having a meal together?"
Anyway, with the precedent of Gu Zhiruo in mind, it's impossible to talk about business at today's meal, so we might as well invite a few more people to join us and have a good time.
During the dinner, Zheng Silan and others approached King Liu for photos and autographs several times.
Thanks to King Liu's good temper, these people kept tormenting him like naughty children, but he remained calm and responded to their requests.
Lu Yiming felt a headache just looking at it.
He began to understand why some celebrities hate fan culture. How many people can stand such a commotion? Being famous also has its own troubles. Anyway, Lu Yiming could not accept this kind of life where everything he did was watched by others and he had no personal privacy at all.
After dinner, Lu Yiming arranged a car to take everyone home.
The next morning, as soon as Lu Yiming walked into the classroom, Xiao Qinghe and Lu Yiping surrounded him.
Xiao Qinghe opened his mouth and said, "Good fellow, Lu Yiming, you are really a hidden talent."
Lu Yiping had an incredible expression on his face, as if he wanted to make Lu Yiming's face bloom: "By the way, you are actually good friends with King Liu? How did you do that?"
The two of them kept talking to each other, and directly blocked Lu Yiming in his seat.
Xiao Qinghe said with an unhappy face, "This morning, Li Quanwang brought a bunch of group photos and autographed photos to school to brag. I was so jealous that my eyes turned red. Lu Yiming, do you think we are still friends? If we are friends, you can't be so partial to one and neglect the other, right? At least get me a few autographed photos. If you can let me take a photo with King Liu, that would be even better!"
Lu Yiming was stunned by what the two said, and then he couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Didn't you say last time that you were a fan of Jacky Cheung?"
Xiao Qinghe chuckled, his face thicker than a city wall: "Let's put it this way, I'm a fan of King Liu now! Please, as long as you can let me take a photo with King Liu, I will work like a cow or a horse for you in my next life to repay your kindness."
Young people these days are also crazy about chasing stars.
People like Lu Yiping and Xiao Qinghe have basically listened to pop music from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao since they were young, with the Four Heavenly Kings being the most popular among them.
Since smartphones had not yet appeared and become popular, most ordinary people received information in a variety of ways. Therefore, at that time, there was no deformed fan culture like in later generations, so it was actually a very normal thing to be a fan of many celebrities at the same time.
Lu Yiming rolled his eyes: "Next life? Does this mean you plan to take advantage of me for free in this life?"
Having said that, Lu Yiming finally agreed to their request. After all, they were classmates and had a good relationship on weekdays, so he had to take care of them.
"Okay, King Liu has been filming a commercial in Baiyun City these days. I'll take you there when I have time. But I want to make it clear in advance that you are not allowed to cause any trouble when you get there, and don't tell anyone about this, or else don't blame me for getting angry."
Hearing that their goal could be achieved, the two dared not say no, and immediately nodded and agreed, even patting their chests and assuring Lu Yiming: "Of course. As long as you help us take a photo with King Liu, we can call you dad."
"Get lost, I don't have unfilial sons like you."
After some laughter and jokes, the matter was finally agreed upon.
At noon, Lu Yiming took the two of them to the film and television base to play with King Liu for more than an hour, fulfilling their wishes.
After a few days of busy work, the filming of the promotional video was completed. Lu Yiming rushed to the filming base to express his gratitude to King Liu.
"Thank you so much for your help this time. I'm really sorry for wasting your time for so many days."
King Liu said modestly, "No, it won't delay me. There are too few entrepreneurs like Mr. Lu who care about movies and speak out for them. I am willing to shoot this commercial. If you need me again in the future, just give me a call and I will be there right away."
After listening to this, Lu Yiming couldn't help but sigh in his heart, some people are really born to be successful. When it comes to being a good person, King Liu is really dozens of streets ahead of many actors who are not very famous but act like big shots.
"With an actor as dedicated as King Liu, there is no need to worry about the prosperity of our film and television industry."
Lu Yiming complimented him, and then said, "Everyone has worked hard. I will host a banquet at the White Swan Hotel tonight to celebrate together."
King Liu said, "Mr. Lu, thank you for your praise."
Lu Yiming winked at Lei Peilin, who nodded and said loudly, "I'll arrange it right away."
Once the problem of shooting the commercial is solved, the rest will be no problem. With money paving the way, there will be no obstacles for the commercial to be shown on TV.
A few days later, when Lu Yiming returned home for dinner, he found Ning Xuewen and Li Yiwen there, so he quickly greeted them, "Aunt, cousin."
Now, under Lu Yiming's leadership, Li Yiwen has taken off and become a millionaire. Ning Xuewen is extremely polite to Lu Yiming. When she saw Lu Yiming coming back, she took the initiative to stand up and greet him: "Xiaoming is back. Have you been studying hard recently?"
Lu Yiming smiled and replied: "Fortunately, I can still handle it."
Because of her son's matter, Ning Xuewen was also very attentive to her nephew Lu Yiming: "Yesterday, a friend of mine who went fishing said that he caught a few big crabs. I heard that you like to eat this, so I bought it for you and will make it right away."
Lu Yiming responded politely : "Thank you, auntie."
After greeting Ning Xuewen, Lu Yiming looked at Li Yiwen and asked him with a smile: "Cousin, how is it going? Did you get it?"
Li Yiwen blinked, sat up straight, and waved his hand gently: "No, I haven't even started yet."
However, although he said this, the curve of his lips betrayed his inner thoughts.
"Good guy, keep going."
Ning Xuehua was listening with a lot of questions in her mind: "What are you two talking about?"
Lu Yiming decisively betrayed Li Yiwen and told him everything: "My cousin is dating Li Zixian from the TV station. Auntie, just wait for your grandson."
"Ah? Really? Ah Wen, you are dating that beautiful hostess from the TV station? This is a great joy." Ning Xuewen was overjoyed and asked hurriedly, "Ah Wen, when will you bring her home to show us?"
Ning Xuehua couldn't help but ask curiously, "When are you going to get married? When are you going to have kids? Have you bought a house and a car? What do they say about the betrothal gift?"
To be honest, Li Yiwen's marriage has worried the two sisters Ning Xuehua and Ning Xuewen.
In this era, who would not get married when they are almost 30 years old? However, the two of them introduced Li Yiwen to many people, but they all ended up breaking up.
Now that I heard that Li Yiwen was about to get married, and that she was a beautiful host at the city TV station, how could I not be happy?
Facing the barrage of questions from his mother and aunt, Li Yiwen felt embarrassed and quickly defended himself, "What kind of questions are these? We've only had dinner together a few times and watched a few movies together, and you're already thinking about having a baby? Isn't this a bit too fast? What if it doesn't work out?"
Ning Xuewen pouted several times and said, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, you are such a bad mouth, how can it not work?"
With the great joy of Li Yiwen, laughter could be heard from time to time at the dinner table, and the family was in great joy.
At this time, advertisements for Shijinji were also broadcast on TV.
