Huayu: It's normal for me, as a director, to mentor young actresses, right?

Chapter 47 Inviting the Enemy into the Trap

"Why do I feel like you're more anxious than I am?"

Lin Yu placed the cola on the table and looked at Huo Qigang with some confusion.

"Of course, my brother's affairs should be the top priority," Huo Qigang said with a smile.

The smile was warm and sincere, but something seemed off to Lin Yu.

"If you say that, I'd really believe you." Lin Yu laughed along. "But Brother Huo, you invited me to Hong Kong, and you're in such a hurry to send me away right after we met? That's not appropriate, is it?"

"Between brothers, why talk about whether it's appropriate or not?" Kenneth Fok leaned back on the sofa, shifting to a more comfortable position. "We're all family, why bother with these formalities?"

Lin Yu nodded. The two got along like good brothers who had known each other for many years. No one could tell that they had only met a handful of times since they were born.

This is a friendship formed solely for mutual benefit, and it is more unbreakable than any other kind of friendship.

"Not going to deal with him in Hong Kong? Why go all the way to Shenzhen?" Lin Yu didn't intend to stay a few more days and changed the subject to business. "Shenzhen isn't your territory."

"His father only died last year." Kenneth Fok poured himself a cup of tea. "If we were to take action against him on Hong Kong Island now, there would definitely be people in the police force who would disagree."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Although it's true that people are forgotten once they've left, and that you can discard a donkey after it's done its work, you can't kill the donkey so quickly."

"It's too fast, the other donkeys will be scared."

Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded. "Going to Shenzhen would mean fewer uncertainties, since we don't have much of a relationship with the Gu family."

"What kind of relationship do you need to do this?" Huo Qigang glanced at Lin Yu. "They definitely won't stop you until they understand the situation. On the contrary, they'll probably lend you a hand."

"They'll try to stop it once they figure out what's going on, but by then it'll be too late."

The people above hadn't even settled in, the firecrackers in the sea had just stopped, and there was still a delusional madman below, indulging in pipe dreams. The Gu family didn't want to do anything that would cause misunderstandings at this time.

Although they've done quite a few things like this.

Therefore, under these circumstances, no one would stop Huo Qigang and Lin Yu from secretly doing some "trivial" little things together. As for what to do when the Gu family comes to their senses, that's their business.

"Then it will be troublesome for you to try to rescue him later." Lin Yu casually opened another can of Coke and took a sip.

Seeing Huo Qigang's even brighter smile, Lin Yu felt like she had overlooked something, and asked with some unease, "You're not planning on getting him out of trouble, are you?"

"How could that be? You can ask around the whole of Hong Kong Island, everyone knows I have a good relationship with him." Kenneth Fok put down his teacup and sighed. "If we just stand by and watch someone die, morale will crumble, and the team will be hard to lead."

"Then you really are his loyal and righteous 'good brother'," Lin Yu praised.

"Of course," Kenneth Fok's smile remained unchanged. "Otherwise, I would have gone to great lengths to arrange this event in Shenzhen."

"I was 'deeply surprised' that he fell in Shenzhen."

"Well, you start with an 'out of reach' statement, then do nothing once the others are inside, just waiting to say you've done your best, huh?" Lin Yu paused for a moment, then shook his head. "You're the true inheritor of English tradition, aren't you?"

Chatting with these people made Lin Yu feel really tired. They all thought three steps ahead for every one step they took, and they didn't have the straightforward and impulsive spirit of young people at all.

"Sigh, I'll definitely do my best to get him out." Huo Qigang waved his hand. "Once the Gu family comes to their senses, they'll definitely find a way to get him out, after all, you're the one who put him in there."

If you really don't understand the situation, then do something to upset your opponent.

"Aren't you being a bit presumptuous? Even if they get someone out of trouble, why should you get the credit?" Lin Yu shook his head, feeling that Huo Qigang's idea was somewhat unrealistic.

"Then you can decide whether the Zeng family trusts me or the Gu family, with whom you have no connection whatsoever," Huo Qigang said with a smile.

"What if the Gu family doesn't care about such a trivial matter at all?"

"Then I'll just have to go through the trouble of getting it myself."

"What if the Gu family stops you?"

"Then tell him that I really did my best, that someone was interfering, that he doesn't hate me, and that he should be grateful to me."

Lin Yu took a deep breath. He had made a contribution to global warming. He hadn't expected that Huo Qigang, such a sunny and handsome guy, could do such shady things.

This guy doesn't look like a good person.

Huo Qigang ignored Lin Yu's somewhat strange gaze and simply raised his teacup towards him.

"Shall we raise a toast to Zeng Zhiwei?"

-----------------

"Come on, I propose we all raise a toast to Mr. Zeng."

The evening celebration party.

Among the people surrounding Zeng Zhiwei, one of them suddenly raised his wine glass.

"I only did some insignificant little things, I don't deserve everyone's adoration." Zeng Zhiwei declined verbally, but his smile grew even brighter, and he didn't put down his wine glass.

"Mr. Tsang is too modest!" The person who had just spoken did not give up and continued to flatter him, "Without you, it would be very difficult for us Hong Kong artists to make a living in mainland China."

He paused, then continued, "I propose that we all pay tribute to Mr. Zeng for his fearlessness in the face of power and for speaking out for us!"

Although Zeng Zhiwei didn't know this person, what he said made him feel very comfortable. "This young man is too kind to me."

He raised his glass, "If you ask me, we should still toast to the unity of Hong Kong people!"

During this period, Zeng Zhiwei deeply experienced the importance of shouting slogans.

As long as he shouts out the slogan, a group of people will gather around him and respond to his call.

Although he didn't know any celebrities around him, he believed that these were all mainland artists who had developed a longing for the Hong Kong entertainment circle under his "inspiration".

Whether it was helping Sugar Man withstand the "ostracism" from the mainland or supporting Donnie Yen's "victory" against the mainland entertainment industry, one victory after another showed him the path to the pinnacle of the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

The host family today is surnamed Wang.

He was a man from Shanxi Province who claimed to be a "coal boss." He said that he had invested in several films in mainland China in his early years, but they all went down the drain.

He was deeply dissatisfied with these people in the mainland entertainment industry. He heard that there was a "public-spirited" Mr. Tsang in the Hong Kong circle, so he spent a lot of money to invite him to be the producer of his next film.

Zeng Zhiwei was absolutely convinced of this; the background was too convincing. So many coal mine owners had been ruined by the mainland entertainment industry; someone would definitely be drawn in by his "glorious deeds."

Mr. Wang, holding a wine glass, walked over and said, "Alright, let me have a chat with Mr. Zeng for a bit."

Upon hearing this, the people around slowly dispersed.

Zeng Zhiwei was still a little unhappy; he actually quite enjoyed the feeling of being flattered by a group of people.

"Mr. Zeng, thank you for agreeing to be the producer of my next film." Boss Wang smiled and raised his glass. "This glass is for you."

"Boss Wang, you're too kind," Zeng Zhiwei said, downing his drink in one gulp. "I'm honored by your high regard, Boss Wang. I will do my best to help you."

He felt a little dizzy. People kept toasting him at the party, and he had already drunk quite a bit.

"It's Mr. Zeng who's giving me face," Boss Wang raised an eyebrow. "I've made all the arrangements for tonight, it's upstairs, Mr. Zeng can just go up there later."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Zhiwei's smile turned strange. "Then thank you, Boss Wang. I am indeed a bit too heavy to drink, so I'll go upstairs first."

"Mr. Zeng, please make yourself at home." Boss Wang smiled and called out to those behind him, "Xiao Zhao, Xiao Yan, take Mr. Zeng upstairs to rest."

Two young women immediately came over, one on each side, and helped Zeng Zhiwei towards the elevator outside the banquet hall.
