Chen Hao Nan and Shan Ji, pretending to be corpses, felt a pang of bitterness. They lay on the ground, motionless, listening from afar as Big B and the others talked.
They couldn’t hear what was being said, but they knew that Big B and the others were treating Lu Wen Dong with utmost respect, like they were surrounding a shining star.
“I can’t understand it!”
Shan Ji said in a barely audible voice, “Nan Ge, we’ve put our lives on the line for you. Even when we sleep, we keep a watermelon knife under our pillow.”
“Why?”
Chen Hao Nan wanted to know why too.
He had already made a name for himself in Causeway Bay, with people calling him “Handsome Nan.”
And yet,
he was forced to play dead here.
He was an idol in the Tsz Wan Shan Village!
“What goes around comes around.”
Chen Hao Nan gritted his teeth, “Shan Ji, the heavens must be on our side.”
“Cut!”
Seeing other “corpses” getting up, Chen Hao Nan quickly followed suit. He scrambled to Big B's side.
He had to show Big B how loyal he was.
He was even willing to lie down as a corpse for him.
“Big B.”
Big B and the others had already decided on the investment amount. They agreed to discuss the details while dining at Sai Yan's place later.
Seeing Chen Hao Nan approaching, Big B nodded slightly, “Hao Nan, well done.”
Chen Hao Nan's nose twitched, almost bringing tears to his eyes.
Big B finally acknowledged him again!
“Big B, I will work hard and never let you down.”
Ji Ge interjected, “Chen Hao Nan, you really need to work hard.”
“Look at Wen Dong, how capable he is.”
“Wen Dong,”
Chen Hao Nan forced a smile, “I’m really sorry about that night.”
Lu Wen Dong smiled faintly, “It’s alright, everyone gets drunk sometimes.”
“Fellow bosses,”
Sai Yan first asked Lu Wen Dong if everything was okay, then waved his hand, “Let’s go. We’re in Kowloon Walled City, we have to visit my place.”
Big B instructed Chen Hao Nan and Xiao Bao, “You two stay here and keep watch. Do whatever you need to.”
Then, a group of people left, including Lu Wen Dong.
Chen Hao Nan’s eyes turned red. Shan Ji asked Xiao Bao, “Xiao Bao Ge, why are Big B and the others so happy?”
“How would I know?”
Xiao Bao shrugged, he was also frustrated. Wasn’t it good to be close to them?
But now they were here doing security work.
“It seems that Lu Wen Dong opened a restaurant, and Big B and the others invested in it.”
Xiao Bao was envious, “Damn, those with brains can get ahead anywhere.”
“How long has it been? He’s already making movies and opening restaurants.”
Chen Hao Nan and Shan Ji were stunned, “Opening a restaurant?”
Their teeth were grinding with jealousy.
“Where did he get the money?”
“You’re crazy.”
Xiao Bao was only half-informed, saying, “Didn’t you see Big B and the others investing?”
“It seems they invested over ten million, holy crap!”
“Damn!”
Chen Hao Nan and Shan Ji’s eyes were bloodshot. What kind of magic potion had Lu Wen Dong fed Big B and the others?
He got a ten million dollar investment from a few words?
“Over there, who is that?”
The assistant director grabbed his megaphone, “Come here quickly, the last scene wasn’t good, we need to do it again.”
“Please, try to look more professional while pretending to be dead!”
Xiao Bao immediately urged, “Hurry, hurry, hurry, the sooner we finish filming, the sooner we can go home.”
Chen Hao Nan could only reluctantly lead Shan Ji and the others back to the filming location.
The sun was blazing. Chen Hao Nan looked up at the sky. He clenched his teeth. He had toiled for years to get this chance.
He wouldn’t be outdone!
…
“Alright, A-B.”
Ji Ge was making Big B drink. “You call me brother, huh?”
“Tell me, when you first set foot in Causeway Bay, wasn’t I, Ji Ge, the first one to support you?”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Big B said with a smile, “It's all my fault. But you know, it’s impossible to explain this to everyone, right?”
“What, you think I’m a blabbermouth?”
Ji Ge shouted, “Everyone in the underworld knows I’m the most reliable person.”
Thirteen Sister couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s right, that’s right, Ji Ge, at least you’re on the right track now.”
“Why don’t you listen to what Wen Dong has to say first, then everyone can understand a little better.”
Big B, Han Bin, and Thirteen Sister were so quick to invest again,
first, because Lu Wen Dong was from Hong Xing,
second,
Lu Wen Dong was the only one who was willing to share his methods with them,
and this way,
everyone would be clear about everything.
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Ji Ge quickly turned to Lu Wen Dong, “Wen Dong, open my eyes, this old roughneck.”
