A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 183 Longteng Entertainment Company (IV)

While Gao Ling was busy registering the company, He Yukai came to the slums in Kowloon to find Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing should be 16 years old now and was working as an office assistant. To put it nicely, he was an assistant, but to put it bluntly, he was a cleaner and lived on a meager salary.

Zhou Xing's family conditions were very poor when he was a child. After his parents divorced, he and his sister grew up under the care of his mother. Many people have experienced poverty in their childhood. Only then will they understand the difficulties of the world and try their best to change their lives, study hard, and be determined to change the status quo.

This is the case with Zhou Xingxing now. When He Yukai found Zhou Xingxing, Zhou Xingxing was preparing to go home after get off work.

All his achievements were achieved through hard work, and of course, opportunities and challenges were inevitable.

Many people will encounter challenges of one kind or another in life. Some people seize them and thus triumph all the way. Some people fail to seize them and when they grow old they wonder, “What if?”

At this time, Stephen Chow had already started learning Wing Chun, and it was this experience that laid a good foundation for his future acting career.

"Sir, what can I do?"

Zhou Xing looked at the man who was blocking his way. He was dressed in a suit and looked intimidating without even getting angry. This was the initial impression He Yukai left on Zhou Xing.

Zhou Xing is very sensitive to other people's expressions. He can see that this man admires him very much, but he is just an office assistant. The clothes he is wearing are obviously very valuable. What is so admirable about him?
"Excuse me, are you Zhou Xing?"

He Yukai looked at the young boy in front of him. Who could have known that this boy would grow up to become a superstar.

"Yes, I'm Zhou Xin, who are you?"

Zhou Xing looked at the man in front of him in confusion. He was sure that they had never met before, but why did he know his name? He seemed to know him very well.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the boss of Longteng Entertainment. I heard by chance that you have a talent for acting and I want to talk to your family. Is that okay with you?"

Zhou Xing’s first reaction was disbelief. He didn’t believe that such a good thing would happen to him.

Having grown up in poverty, going through the hardship of a divorce, and having seen enough of other people’s cold stares, would you believe someone who suddenly appeared and said he wanted to train you? He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xing didn't want to pay attention to the man in front of him and prepared to leave.

He Yukai knew that Zhou Xing suspected him, but there was nothing he could do. It would be strange if he could get any information from him if he was in front of him.

He Yukai looked at Zhou Xing who was leaving and shook his head with a smile. Zhou Xing's performance should have a lot to do with his mother.

His mother, who graduated from a normal university, had the greatest influence on Zhou Xing. Even though the family was poor, his mother insisted on dressing her children in decent clothes and raised them with great difficulty.

She is a great mother who is willing to work a few part-time jobs to ensure her children grow up decently.

He Yukai read the information and didn't expect that Zhou Xing's mother actually worked in Lou's Toy Factory. This made it easy. At least he didn't have to worry about not being able to explain it clearly because he was driving a Lou's car.

It seems that after Lou came to Hong Kong Island, he changed the fate of many people. At least he provided a lot of jobs and provided employment for more people.

"Why are you here again? I'm really not interested"

Zhou Xing looked at the man in front of him with an expressionless face. The strength in his character all came from his mother. He didn't believe that the god of luck would favor him.

Zhou Xing only believes in himself, and believes that through his efforts he will be able to change the current situation so that his mother can relax and live out her days in peace.

"Xingxing, why are you so rude? This is how I taught you."

Zhou Xing's mother appeared at some point and looked at her son reproachfully, while looking at He Yukai in confusion.

She usually teaches her children to be polite and treat everyone with courtesy.

"You are Zhou Xing's mother, right? Don't blame him, I was presumptuous.

I heard that Zhou Xing has a talent for acting and I want to train him. My company is a newly established entertainment company, and its business scope includes singing and acting.

I didn’t expect Zhou Xingxing to be so vigilant. I don’t blame the kid, haha.”

He Yukai looked at the woman in front of him sincerely. She was a strong and admirable mother.

"Sir, is that car downstairs yours?"

Zhou's mother suddenly asked about the origin of the car. As a thoughtful person, she must know the Lou family's car. After all, the boss's car often goes in and out of the factory, so how could she not know it?
The boss recently changed to another car, and I am a little suspicious when I see this car here.

He Yukai smiled in his heart. This was a smart mother. She did not directly ask He Yukai about his background. Taking a different approach would neither seem abrupt nor offensive.

No one likes to be investigated. She didn't ask He Yukai about his background, but asked about the car first. He Yukai couldn't avoid explaining his background.

"That car belongs to Lou's Group, and my brother's father-in-law is Lou Zhenhua, the boss of Lou's Group."

If He Yukai wants to sign a contract with Zhou Xing, he must gain the other party's trust. Since Zhou's mother asked about it herself, it would save him a lot of trouble as he doesn't have to deliberately lead the matter to the Lou family.

Since Zhou's mother asked about Lou's car, I had a good starting point for the conversation, which might bring me different gains.

Zhou's mother was relieved. Now she was sure that she was not a liar, and she was unwilling to let her son miss such an opportunity.

The boss is quite powerful. If the car was lost, he would definitely call the police. Since he appears in front of her now, the owner of the car may really be related to the boss.

But since it concerns his son's future, he still wants to know more.

"Excuse me, what is your name, sir? I have never heard that Mr. Lou has a daughter. Please forgive me. This is related to my son, so I need to ask clearly."

Zhou's mother knew her son's ideal, and she understood that if the story was true, it would be a turning point in her son's fate.

The more cautious we should be at this time, as it concerns our son's life and we must not be careless.

"We just came from the mainland. How about this, sister-in-law, you come with me to the Lou family villa to confirm clearly. I am indeed very optimistic about your son, and it is my duty to reassure you. Zhou Xing will also accept our arrangement with peace of mind. After confirmation, we can talk again. What do you think?"

Zhou's mother already believed it, otherwise she wouldn't have asked her to go and confirm it. Although it seemed very impolite for He Yukai to go and confirm it, as a mother, she had no scruples for the sake of her son.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. He. Let's go to Xingxing together."

Zhou Xingxing nodded and prepared to go and take a look. If it was true, then he could do what he liked, especially become a figure like his idol Bruce Lee, and his life would not be in vain.

Not only can you change the reality at home, but you can also realize your dreams. Why not do it?

He Yukai drove to the Lou family villa, but unfortunately Lou Zhenhua was not there. However, Lou's mother was there. Lou's mother had hardly ever been to the factory, and Zhou's mother didn't know her either.

When Zhou's mother saw this, she didn't know what to say. The people living here were either rich or noble, so it should be confirmed that they were not scammers.

She was well aware of the status of the Repulse Bay Villa. As a native of Hong Kong Island and a cultured person, how could she not know about this place? Ordinary people could not get in, and the real-person access control was not a vegetarian.

He Yukai asked Zhou's mother and son to sit down and then arranged for someone to cook. It was Zhou's mother's day off today, so she was not in a hurry. He Yukai was not well-known in Hong Kong Island, but she already knew that he came from China and had a natural sense of closeness to him.

After dinner, Lou Zhenhua finally rushed back. Zhou's mother stood up and greeted Lou Zhenhua politely, neither humble nor arrogant.

He Yukai nodded, explained what happened, and asked Lou Zhenhua to act as a guarantor.

"Ms. Zhou, I, Lou Zhenhua, can be a guarantor for Mr. He Yukai. Since you are an employee of our factory, you should know that I always keep my word."

Lou Zhenhua did not object to He Yukai's request. It was just a piece of cake. Since He Yukai took a fancy to the son of his employee, he must have some outstanding qualities. He thought he knew He Yukai well.

"Thank you, Mr. Lou"

Now Zhou's mother can finally rest assured. Lou Zhenhua is the factory director, and with his position, there is no need for him to lie to them.

If Lou Zhenhua didn't guarantee her, she would not agree even if it meant losing her job. Her only hope now is for her children to have successful careers, and she doesn't ask for anything else.

Although she is naturally kind to He Yukai, who comes from China, she is a wise woman and will not blindly let her child take risks.

"That's understandable. If your son follows Xiaokai, his future achievements will not be too low."

After saying this, Lou Zhenhua apologized and went back to his study. He just wanted to make the bags. He didn't want to get involved in other details. When it comes to judging the right measure, Lou Zhenhua was absolutely perfect.

"Sister-in-law, this is what I think. Since Xingxing likes to make movies, I want to send Zhou Xingxing to study at the Department of Fine Arts of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Island. During the study period, the company will subsidize 200 Hong Kong dollars per month for family expenses. Of course, Zhou Xingxing must work for Longteng Entertainment Company after graduation.

The company will take 50% of the profits after tax. The company guarantees to give Xingxing the best training. Of course, if the company's future decisions do not meet Zhou Xingxing's wishes and violate Zhou Xingxing's principles, we can negotiate to terminate the contract. You can find a lawyer to finalize the contract details with my lawyer."

He Yukai said it very clearly, I will spend money to train Zhou Xingxing with all my strength, and will provide more resources in the future. Of course, I am not a charity. As long as it does not violate your bottom line, you cannot terminate the contract unilaterally in the future. Of course, the company has the right to terminate the contract unilaterally.

He Yukai referred to a certain profit-sharing method. As long as you work hard, you will get half of the profit. I will not force you to do anything against your will. But the company has trained you, so you have to serve the company. You can ask a lawyer to finalize the details. As for the time limit, it is unlimited. Of course, the company will also be restricted. These need to be discussed with a lawyer.

"Mr. He, you are investing, so there will definitely be relevant requirements. I can talk to your lawyer about this. I believe the lawyer will give me an answer on the details."

Of course, Zhou's mother knows that in Hong Kong Island, while you enjoy the treatment, you also have to take responsibilities, and no one will give you unconditional support.

"Okay, I'll have my lawyer find Zhou Xing to sign the contract tomorrow, and you can discuss the details among yourselves."

They reached a preliminary agreement to have the Lou family's driver take Zhou's mother and son home. Generally speaking, they got along well. Zhou's mother also made other excessive requests, and her sense of propriety was no less than Lou Zhenhua's.

The driver was specially arranged by Lou Zhenhua for He Yukai to ensure He Yukai's travel.

He Yukai got his Hong Kong driver's license the day after he arrived in Hong Kong Island. He could usually drive himself to do things and still maintain a certain degree of privacy. Here, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't do.

"Xingzai, what do you think? I feel the conditions are pretty good. If you don't want to sign the contract, just refuse. It's not a big deal. Don't do anything that goes against your will."

Zhou's mother looked at her silent son kindly. As this concerned her son's future, she wanted her son to make his own choice.

"Mom, I want to give it a try. Opportunities like this don't come around often. Not only can I receive professional training, but I can also earn HK$200 a month. This salary is not low."

Zhou Xing knows his mother's hard work and he also likes the acting career. Now he can not only reduce the burden on his family, but also enter the university of his dreams for further studies. What is there to be dissatisfied about?

"Let your sister's best friend go with you tomorrow. She studies law, so you should read the contract carefully. But I warn you, if you have received a favor from someone, you should remember it in your heart. In the future, as long as they don't go too far, you should not do anything ungrateful."

Since you choose to accept it, the favor is huge. Zhou's mother knows with her experience how rare such an opportunity is. For rich people, it may be very easy to enter a higher education institution for further studies, but for them, even if you meet the admission requirements, the tuition is not something they can afford.

"I know, Mom, don't worry."

He Yukai never worried that Zhou Xing would not fulfill the contract after graduation. He had already told Gao Ling that the conditions could be more relaxed and that he could even provide a free house after graduation, but the penalty for breach of contract was a staggering 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

He Yukai had never thought of breaching the contract, but no one else could breach the contract either, no matter how much he admired that person.

Although I trust Zhou Xingxing's character, I should not have the intention to harm others, but I should always be on guard against others.

People are fickle. He doesn't want to train someone for a few years and then end up falling into the arms of someone else. If that happens, he might as well find a place to crash to his death.

Even if the penalty for breach of contract is sky-high, as long as the person does not intend to betray, they will not care about it.

Gao Ling agreed with He Yukai's opinion, and she also knew that He Yukai really wanted to train people, and that the people he trained must generate income for himself, not charity. This was something she could see clearly.

After getting He Yukai's information, we started drafting the contract, and we had to ensure that it would not harm the interests of the company.

The procedures for registering the company have been completed, and we just need to wait for the approval. We can only sign the contract in a private manner as He Yushui, and then sign an unsuccessful agreement after the official listing.

After the call, He Yukai thought about his next plan. Among the few people, Mei Fang might be the most difficult to sign a contract with.

It's not Mei Fang herself who has problems, but her mother.

The woman who loved money so much that she didn't even care about her daughter's final dignity.

This requires taking care of the relationship between Mei Fang and her mother, and also getting Mei's mother's consent, which may be a high price to pay.

However, this person must be signed, not because she is indispensable, but because He Yukai likes listening to her songs very much and her character is also good.

As for her difficult mother, it seems that anything that can be solved with money is not a difficult problem.

Although this legendary person's life was glorious in front of others, perhaps only her close friends knew about her sorrow.

Mei Fang, who had a hard life, developed a strong character since childhood. She was determined to collapse on the stage even at the last moment of her life, and she wanted to avoid such a thing from happening in this life.

The mother destroyed her daughter's last image in pieces while she was resting in peace, which made people anxious and even more angry.

Thinking of this, Mei Fang's matter was put aside for the time being and he would just have to deal with it as it came to be. The top priority now was the afternoon dinner. This dinner would be He Yukai's official appearance in Hong Kong Island's upper class society, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.

He Yukai was staring at the invitation in his hand. All the important Chinese figures in Hong Kong will attend the dinner tonight, and the members of the inspection team may also attend.

The dresses for He Yukai and Cai Wenqing have been delivered, and were arranged by Lou Zhenhua himself.

He Yuzhu and his wife and their children were not planning to go. Not everyone could attend the Huo family's banquet. Originally, He Yukai was not allowed to attend. But since Young Master Huo had specially sent the invitation to pick it up, that was another matter.

He Yuzhu and his wife don't need to be on the invitation anymore, and Zhuzi and his wife are not interested in it either.

Lou Zhenhua was amazed at He Yukai's opportunity. He could meet Mr. Huo just by buying an office building. After bargaining, he even received an invitation from Mr. Huo.

He had tried his best to overestimate He Yukai, but now he found that he still underestimated him.

Not everyone is qualified to receive an invitation from the Huo family, let alone someone who has only met them once. What kind of dishes did He Yukai and Mr. Huo talk about that would make the No. 1 Chinese man in Hong Kong personally invite them?

"Silly, I've never attended such a large dinner party before, so why don't I just not go?"

Cai Wenqing no longer had her resolute and efficient demeanor. All the people present tonight were important figures in Hong Kong. Although she had learned some etiquette in this regard from Lou's mother, she felt very guilty and was afraid of bringing shame to He Yukai and the visiting delegation.

"Xiaoqing, it's okay. We are just small people. We can just go over and have a meal. If we can get to know some people, it will also help our future career.

After all, I know a lot of people, so I can receive information much faster than the average person. It depends on the chance, so don’t take it too seriously.”

He Yukai tried his best to keep things light and calm so as to reduce some of the psychological pressure on his wife.

Although they are worldly-wise and have come into contact with many important people, they are still not used to this place.

Sometimes I have to put on a fake smile, which is really not something I’m used to.

Regardless of Cai Wenqing's nervous mood, the time had finally come and he had no choice but to attend.

At this time, Cai Wenqing was not nervous anymore. He had to go anyway, so why not adjust his mood?

After she figured it out, she felt much more at ease. She didn't know anyone there, but the dress was a little awkward on her, and the high heels took her a long time to practice wearing before she could barely control them.

"Mom, you look so beautiful today"

When Cai Wenqing came out after changing into her dress, she was greeted by her daughter's envious eyes.

"If I wasn't pretty, would I have given birth to a daughter as pretty as you? It's a matter of genes. You'll understand when you enter university. Look at your father's dignity. You must have inherited my genes."

Hearing his daughter's praise, Cai Wenqing relaxed a lot and even joked with his daughter.

"What about me, Mom?"

He Bing knew that his mother was nervous, so he asked in a teasing manner.

"Of course you inherited it from your father."

Cai Wenqing looked at He Bing with disdain, which made He Bing feel embarrassed and touched his nose awkwardly. Even if you think so in your heart, please don't say it out loud, okay? It's very discouraging.

Nowadays, children's clothing has moved away from the blue Dacron clothes and green military pants of Shenzhou.

He Bing was dressed in a suit and tie, looking very handsome and completely fashionable.

"Ha ha..."

Cai Wenqing's words made everyone laugh.

He Yukai curled his lips and said, "Even though I'm ugly, you still married me."

Of course, she didn't say it to his face, as she was trying to save Cai Wenqing's face in front of the children. She secretly decided in her heart that she would restore her marital status after the banquet. Cai Wenqing had been a little bit arrogant during this period.

At night I will let you feel why the flowers are so red. You should be careful when speaking, especially in front of others. I will not let you beg for mercy. My name, He Yukai, is written backwards.

Although he is over 40 years old, he is still as vigorous as before. Thinking of this, He Yukai chuckled, which made others feel creepy. Only Cai Wenqing understood He Yukai's thoughts. Her face turned red and she looked at He Yukai unhappily.
