Chapter 542 New Giant
Liang Fei explained again and again, telling Nian Zheng that the reason she was able to make an appointment with Vivian Chow this time was purely because her friendship was strong and her reputation was great, and that the once popular Hong Kong beauty wanted to come to the mainland to make more money and make some connections, so she agreed to come out for dinner and sing a song. After the social event, she still had to go back to the hotel where she was staying.
"Is that so..." The old man's hands, which always tied his tie, paused for a moment, with a sense of loss.
Liang Fei blinked: "Uncle, the dream lover of your youth is suddenly about to appear in front of you. It's understandable that you are a little excited, but after all, you are no longer young. Maybe you won't be so impulsive after seeing the real person."
“Nonsense!”
Nian Zheng rolled his eyes at Liang Fei, not knowing whether he was denying that Zhou Huimin was no longer young, but that he was too excited.
People chase stars in every era. That era was when Hong Kong entertainment industry swept across Asia. The popular songs and vivid characters were the dreams of countless boys and girls.
At that time, China welcomed a TV series called "The Volleyball Girl" from Japan. Mr. Ma from Hangzhou was a fan of the heroine, Yumiko Araki. After he became successful, he specially invited this idol from his youth to attend an event in China, thus fulfilling his dream of appearing in the same frame with his dream lover from his youth.
From this we can see that men are all loyal.
Nian Zheng made a lot of preparations for the meeting with Zhou Huimin. He called the driver and asked him to clean the Rolls-Royce inside and out. Then he asked Liang Fei: "Will this car be a bit low -class and not reflect my strength?"
Liang Fei saw the old man spraying perfume and changing clothes, and he was already impatient. He leaned against the door frame and picked his ears, saying disdainfully: "Why don't you fly the helicopter?"
“That’s not impossible.”
Nian Zheng was very excited and eager to try, "I'll ask my friend to borrow it, but I don't know if I can get the relevant approval temporarily. Oh my god, you didn't even inform me in advance for such a big thing, it's so hasty."
Liang Fei reminded: "Uncle, it's really just a meal."
"I know. Which hotel did you book?"
"The old place, Minghai Hotel."
“It’s too low-class!”
“…”
A casual meal costs tens of thousands of yuan, and you still think it's low-quality?
In the end, Nian Zheng rejected Liang Fei's arrangement and found a private club where he could eat and sing in a private room. He also specifically instructed that tonight's meals must be arranged and the sound system must be adjusted well, otherwise it would likely affect his performance.
After waiting for a long time for Nian Zheng to be dressed up, the driver drove a Rolls-Royce that was clean inside and out and took the two of them to their destination.
The song playing on loop in the car was Vivian Chow's "The Most Beloved"
Liang Fei looked at Nian Zheng with interest and asked, "Uncle, since you like Zhou Huimin so much, why don't you ask her to be the brand image spokesperson? Nian Jewelry is not without the ability to do so."
"It's a long story."
Nian Zheng said with emotion: "When my brand first started to emerge, I had thought about it, but Lin Jingxin rejected it. She said, "I don't know what kind of bad intentions you have. That woman is already in her forties, and you still want to have a twilight romance? If you dare to ask her out, I'll divorce you."
"Then what?"
“And then we left.”
“…”
Seeing Liang Fei's speechless expression, Nian Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's just a joke. My situation with Nian Gao's mother is very complicated. Of course, it's impossible for me to divorce for the little Jew. After I married your Aunt Zheng, it was even more impossible. She is more jealous than anyone else."
Little Jew is Vivian Chow's nickname, which comes from the character Ruan Mei she played in the TV series The Greed of Man. She was dubbed as Little Jew in the Mandarin version. She is a very gentle and good girl who is willing to selflessly devote herself to her sweetheart. Once the show was broadcast that year, she captured the hearts of countless men.
The dinner was not grand. Those present included Joey Wong herself, her agent, and the big brother in the entertainment industry that Liang Fei asked to introduce her to him. Speaking of this big brother, it was Guo Fan who introduced them to each other. After meeting each other several times, the big brother regarded Liang Fei as a friend regardless of age difference. He always wanted to introduce Liang Fei to a few newcomers in the circle as a symbol of their brotherhood.
Then there were Liang Fei and Nian Zheng, a total of these few people.
At the dinner table, upon hearing that Nian Zheng was the big boss of Nian Jewelry, the agent showed great enthusiasm, and expressed his intention to cooperate with him in the future. Zhou Huimin also toasted Nian Zheng frequently. After three rounds of drinks, the two sang a song "Favorite" together.
Liang Fei originally thought that Nian Zheng would play until very late, but unexpectedly, just after 8:30, the old man took the initiative to propose to end it. He said very gentlemanly that Ms. Zhou should go back and rest, after all, she had an important schedule tomorrow.
The entertainment industry's big brother and Liang Fei were peeing in the bathroom together, and joked: "I thought your father-in-law wanted to have sex with a little Jew tonight, but it seems that's not the case."
Liang Fei smiled and said, "What's wrong, brother, do you really have a solution?"
"Hey, brother, what do you think? Don't you know who is in charge of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in their era? Everyone knows what kind of background they have. Some are mistresses of rich men, some are kidnapped by gangs. Do you think the little Jew can stay out of it?"
The eldest brother laughed and said, "You are too young. The world used to be so lively and crazy. You just didn't catch up with the good times. The world now is very boring."
After saying that, he shook his pants three times, zipped up his pants, patted Liang Fei on the shoulder, winked and said, "Well, after sending your father-in-law off, go and have fun with me. I have recently found a few little girls who are very motivated and proactive. They can do everything and are willing to learn everything."
Liang Fei sighed and said, "Brother, I am a positive and energetic young man."
The older brother blinked and said: "Young people should be positive, otherwise you should go to the doctor."
grass!
After seeing off the big brother from the entertainment industry, Liang Fei accompanied Nian Zheng back home.
Along the way, the old man held a cigar and occasionally raised his head to puff out smoke, as if he was worried about something.
Liang Fei decided to have a cigarette with him. Cigars can improve lung endurance and are indeed a good substitute for cigarettes. Nian Zheng has always only smoked Cohiba cigars, which are very strong.
"Uncle, why do you seem to be in a bad mood?" Liang Fei asked, "Are you disappointed because you see your dream lover has aged and lost his beauty?"
Nian Zheng glanced at Liang Fei, shook his head and said, "It's quite rare for her to maintain herself like this at her age."
After a pause, the old man sighed and said leisurely, "I just didn't expect that when I was young, I was penniless, and the beautiful girls I watched on TV or in CDs suddenly became old ladies. This contrast is really hard to accept for a while. I used to think that they were out of my reach, but now they have to take the initiative to toast me. Tsk, this doesn't feel right."
Liang Fei smiled and said, "Uncle, I thought you were a man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life and had seen through the mundane world, but I didn't expect you would also be sentimental."
"Humans are not plants or trees, so how can we be heartless?"
Nian Zheng held a cigar in his mouth and crossed his arms: "It is true that the saying that time never defeats beauty is false. In this world, only girls in their twenties are the most beautiful."
Well said!
Liang Fei felt a little guilty for not arranging the New Year's Day party tonight. Recalling what the old man in the entertainment industry had said just now, she suggested, "Uncle, I must make sure you have a good time today. Just wait."
After saying that, he took out his cell phone and called the older man: "Good brother, do you have any young people who look like Zhou Huimin?"
The elder brother has abundant resources and a wide network of contacts: "You like this, right? Wait, I'll find one for you. I'm a little anxious today. Even if it's plastic surgery, just bear with me and give me enough time to prepare. I'll find you a Vivian Chow 2.0 without any problem!"
After hanging up the phone, Liang Fei asked Nian Zheng: "Uncle, are you going?"
Nian Zheng looked at Liang Fei deeply and asked, "Xiao Liang, do you know what you are doing?"
Liang Fei felt a little nervous and immediately said, "Uncle, please respect me and believe in my character. I don't usually play like this. This is all for you!"
Nian Zheng obviously didn't believe it, and he flew into a rage, "Have you ever seen a son-in-law and father-in-law go out to have fun together? Are you mentally ill?"
Liang Fei spread his hands and said, "What should we do? They have already made arrangements. We will just sing some songs and drink some wine together. It is no different from the business entertainment just now. Uncle, I really just want to make up for the regrets of your youth."
Nian Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
“It’s more real than rice cakes!”
"Tsk..." Nian Zheng thought for a moment and said to Liang Fei, "Then you just watch from the side. I'm just going to reminisce about my youth, that's all."
“…”
The big brother in the entertainment industry is really powerful. The girls he called not only sing Cantonese songs well, but also dance disco well in that era, which is very much in line with the preferences of successful old men.
Unfortunately, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and the wind blows through too quickly.
The next day, Liang Fei was still sobering up in bed when Nian Gao started bombarding her with calls. She answered the phone in a daze and without even a word of greeting, she directly questioned her.
"What did you take my dad to do yesterday?"
Liang Fei suddenly came to her senses, her mind spinning: "Ah, what did you say?"
"I said..."
"Hang up, I'm in a meeting."
After hanging up on Nian Gao for the first time in history, Liang Fei immediately got up and called Nian Zheng: "Uncle, did you go home last night?"
"Yes." Nian Zheng said dissatisfiedly, "How dare you question my character? After all, I am the elder and you are the elder."
Liang Fei was anxious: "Just now, Nian Gao asked me what I took you to do last night. How did she know? How could she know? Did you get drunk and call her and let it slip?"
Nian Zheng: “…”
Seeing silence on the other end of the phone, Liang Fei understood.
Many fathers seem to have a little hobby, especially when they are drunk, they like to show their fatherly love. Nian Zheng is one of them. However, for a family like theirs, giving money is meaningless. The children usually don’t care about the amount of cash they can take out. They are only excited when transferring money.
So the bad habit of the elderly is that when they are drunk, they like to call Nian Gao to complain, saying nothing more than saying that dad has been sorry for you over the years, dad cried, why didn’t your daughter cry, don’t you love dad, etc.
In short, Nian Zheng must have let the cat out of the bag.
Liang Fei was heartbroken and at the same time very disappointed: "Uncle, how can you do this? How can I take you out to play and show you the world in the future? It's okay if you have a bad reputation, after all, you don't care about these vulgar names at your age, but I'm still young and I'm not married yet. What should I do if Nian Gao misunderstands me?"
Nian Zheng snorted and said disdainfully: "You, you are still worried about Nian Gao's misunderstanding. What are you thinking? Do you have any misunderstanding about your own position?"
Liang Fei: “…”
Damn, you're repaying kindness with enmity, right?
Liang Fei decided to go all out and didn't reply to Nian Gao's call or WeChat. She called Zheng Yu directly.
Zheng Yu was very surprised when she received the call from Liang Fei: "Xiao Liang, why did you suddenly think of calling Auntie? Is there something wrong?"
"Auntie, I'm sorry."
"???"
Liang Fei sighed heavily: "Auntie, I have been holding this matter in my heart for the whole night. I couldn't sleep all night. If I don't speak it out, I'm afraid I will have a demon in my heart!"
When Zheng Yu heard the seriousness of the situation, he immediately became serious: "What's wrong? Did you have another quarrel with Nian Gao? Don't worry too much. Don't you know Nian Gao well? Just go and comfort him. He's easy to comfort if that's you."
Liang Fei shook her head: "It's not rice cake, it's Uncle Nian Zheng."
Zheng Yu asked curiously: "What happened to him?"
"He went out for a drink yesterday with Vivian Chow and Vivian Chow's younger version 2.0."
“…”
Zheng Yu's tone suddenly became very calm: "Xiao Liang, thank you. Auntie won't talk to you for now. I have to go take care of the housework."
It feels great.
Liang Fei turned her phone to flight mode and stuffed it under her pillow, then fell asleep peacefully, not caring about anything else.
After a comfortable sleep until noon, Liang Fei went downstairs with messy hair. She saw Liang Cheng and Liang Jing eating takeout and watching TV in the living room. The two little girls became quiet.
"Good morning, brother~" Seeing Liang Fei, Liang Cheng and Liang Jing immediately got up from the sofa and respectfully presented a bowl of crispy chicken drumstick rice, "This is the lunch specially reserved for my good brother, please enjoy it, Mr. Liang."
"Yeah, very good, very good."
Liang Fei took the crispy chicken leg rice with satisfaction. Liang Cheng beside him broke open the disposable chopsticks and served it with both hands, then went to the refrigerator to get a can of iced cola.
After finishing the meal happily, Liang Fei burped, then scratched her belly while lying on the sofa. After all, there has never been a better time than this summer when she graduated from high school. This is the first step for a young boy or girl to officially enter the adult society. The atmosphere on a university campus is completely opposite to that on a high school campus.
In college, teenagers will begin to learn how to be adults, drink, stay up late, travel, and learn how to be secular people.
"You two." Liang Fei shouted.
When Liang Cheng and Liang Jing heard Liang Fei calling, they immediately turned off the TV and said humbly, "Brother, we know that we watched TV for too long today, which wasted electricity. Let's go mop the floor now."
Liang Fei: “…”
This makes it easy for people to feel that I am exploiting them.
"Stop pretending."
Liang Fei waved her hand, picked up the coat thrown on the sofa, took out her wallet, threw an additional card from it on the table, and tapped her nose: "Theoretically, this card cannot be maxed out, but I will limit the amount when I go back to prevent you from spending money recklessly, and I will receive text messages for every expense. Go and have fun, and remember to go home before ten o'clock. I will ask the company to send you a car."
Liang Cheng picked up the supplementary card with trembling hands and looked at Liang Fei: "Brother, is this true?"
Liang Fei chuckled and said proudly: "Do you know how people outside evaluate your brother? They say that there are three giants in the Internet, and I, your brother, am a small giant."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Liang Fei, open the door for me. You actually took my dad to drink wine. You want to die!!"
