Chapter 23 The Fallen Man
Yu Qixia, who is eighteen years old, is Chen Yulian's only good friend, and the newly married Mi Xue is just because the woman who is regarded as her elder sister takes care of her a lot and is grateful.
Because of the key, An Yifei opened the door of the duplex building and entered it, and then a scream came.
"What's the matter, what's the matter?" Chen Yulian, in a panic, ran out of the bedroom in a daze, and then understood, "Feigo, why are you here?"
"Oh, I just went to the newspaper office, and then I came to see you." An Yifei was also very embarrassed. It was already past ten o'clock in the morning. Unexpectedly, Yu Qixia slept here last night, and she just got up, wearing only a simple pajama.
It is said that if two women are friends, one of them will automatically have a princess temperament, while the other one becomes a "maid". Of course, Chen Yulian is the former, while Yu Qixia, who is actually very average in appearance, is the latter, but this does not affect the relationship between the two and plays very well.
"Hehe, Fei Ge. Axia has this kind of personality. It's okay, just get used to it." Seeing An Yifei's embarrassed look, Chen Yulian was a little funny and comforted her.
Of course, Xiao Lajiao Axia knew the relationship between her good friend and An Yifei, but she didn't care about these things when she grew up abroad, and soon dressed in her clothes as if nothing had happened and appeared in the living room again, "Hey, handsome boy, how to arrange lunch?"
An Yifei likes Xiao Lajiao's personality very much. Of course, it's a friend-like love. Axia reminds him of his classmates in college in his previous life, "How about going to Fulin Building for Chinese food?"
"Okay", the two girls spoke up for support almost at the same time. You should know that with the influx of immigrants from all over the mainland, there are all kinds of cuisines in Hong Kong, and Fulinlou is the master of it, and the consumption required for a meal is very high. After Chen Yulian's "income" increased, she still had family care and was not willing to go there once. Now that An Yifei is here, of course she has to go there to enjoy her mouth.
Ford Mustang gallops on the streets of Hong Kong, perhaps for An Yifei, he still has a stronger appreciation of retro street scenes. But for the two girls, it feels very novel. They sit in the back seats hand in hand, and they chatter and discuss each place. In this era, there are very few private cars. The traffic on Hong Kong Island is mainly buses and taxis. Not only passers-by, but even the police officers directing the traffic are vaguely envious and jealous of driving private cars.
Driving a private car in Hong Kong is almost a big deal. Not only is the oil price very expensive, but the parking fee is also quite high. But for An Yifei today, even drizzle is not counted.
"Feigo, do we want to go and have a look?" The parking lot is not on the street of the restaurant, and across the road, the three of them walked a few steps and saw a group of people watching and quarreling at the corner of the street, but it seemed that they would not fight because there were two patrolmen in the crowd. The woman was naturally curious. Although Chen Yulian wore wide sunglasses, An Yifei could still see clearly the gossip fire in her eyes at close range.
An Yifei smiled bitterly, because it was impossible not to see it. A group of people blocked the way to Fulin Tower. The woman delayed nearly an hour to put on makeup when she went out. In addition, the time on the road was almost 12 o'clock now, and his stomach was protesting.
"Daquanzi, say, what should I do? I plan to give my husband a fresh thermos. You will break it, or you will lose money, or let Asir take you away." The middle-aged woman held on to the clothes of a young man with an awkward expression, looking unreasonable.
An Yifei, who had already entered the crowd of onlookers, couldn't help pulling the peppers, so she could only protect Chen Yulian carefully to avoid being taken advantage of or meeting thieves.
"Sister, I did it without intention, and you hit me, okay? How could I let me pay for it?" The man spoke Mandarin with some Jiangnan characteristics, with anger on his face, helpless.
Almost all Hong Kong people can understand Mandarin because in recent decades, there have been many immigrants from the mainland. The onlookers are pointing fingers, but the reason can only be understood by both parties involved.
The middle-aged woman definitely did not intend to give up and continued to pull the man's clothes and refused to give in. Seeing that the mediation was invalid, the two police officers had already planned to arrest the person and took the two parties to the police station to solve the problem. The man's gloomy eyes reminded An Yifei of his original experience. A thermos could stump this man, which also shows the situation of the new immigrant in Hong Kong Island.
"Wait a minute, Asir, I'm sorry. This is my subordinate. Since I saw it, I'll help him compensate for the thermos." An Yifei stopped the police officer who was planning to come forward to arrest people.
After looking up and down, the police officer knew that this was a guy with identity, so he gave him face, "Then hurry up, sir, it's hard for us to block the road like this."
A hint of gratitude flashed in the eyes of the man in trouble, and he looked very smart, and did not break An Yifei's kind lie.
"Sister, how much is it? Do you have a ticket?" An Yifei is very handsome now, and her outstanding temperament makes the woman a little afraid and she takes the initiative to find the receipt for the thermos.
"Oh, is it the matter of more than ten Hong Kong dollars?" An Yifei had no change, but Chen Yulian, who was beside him, took out twenty yuan to distribute the money to solve the problem.
The two policemen were also afraid of trouble. Besides, it was already noon and they also had to eat and rest. So after dispersing the onlookers, they nodded to An Yifei and left.
An Yifei looked at the thin man who was about 172 in height and said in Mandarin: "Go to have dinner together, I came over there too."
The man was very smart and knew that his opportunity had come, but he was not very polite. He walked beside An Yifei, "Thank you, my name is Fang Yamin, I just swam here last week."
After actively reaching out and shaking Fang Yamin, "An Yifei, you can call me A Fei."
It seems that he was starving. After Fang Yamin swept away a basket of buns, everyone entered the rhythm of leisurely eating. An Yifei would not take the initiative to invite him because he didn't know the background of this guy.
"I am from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Although I don't have any great skills, I always hide at home when others go out to the streets to read books. Mr. An, I can tell that you are a rich man. Can you make a living for you?"
An Yifei did not answer immediately, but calmly thought while eliminating a bowl of fish egg powder. Simplified Chinese characters began to be promoted in mainland China in the mid-to-late 1970s. The traditional Chinese characters used before were mainly used. He was not worried that the other party would not understand the text, but he still needed to examine the ability and character of Fang Yamin in front of him.
"Yes, I plan to build a construction project. You can learn first, and then I will arrange for you to do other things." An Yifei has always wanted to find an agent, or a puppet, and then put himself behind the scenes.
Axia, who was sitting beside her, finally couldn't help it and asked carefully: "Mr. Fang, where are your family?"
Fang Yamin's eyes were gloomy, "I was born in an authentic intellectual family. My father was a university professor and my mother was a middle school teacher. You know, they were all locked up in a cowshed. Since I was fifteen, I have been digging coal and stealing things everywhere to solve the food problems between my sister and I, waiting for my parents to come back. Unfortunately, the news that my parents had died last year."
An Yifei felt sad. He had no good comments on this era of demons dancing. Chen Yulian next to him couldn't help it, "Amin, how old is your sister? Where are she?"
"My sister is 16 years old, and she came here with me. It was an old student of my father who came here to help. He risked great danger to send our brother and sister to a fishing boat."
An Yifei nodded. If there are relatives, there will be bonds and weaknesses. He took out 10,000 yuan from his bag and handed it to Fang Yamin, "Since you still have a sister, it is not suitable to go to the construction site. Change a place as soon as possible and settle down. I have something to arrange for you to do."
People, intuition is very important in many cases. Many people will disguise themselves, so the saying "Seeing people's hearts over time" may not be accurate. It may be able to see people's hearts, and may be deceived even more.
An Yifei believes in his judgment. A man who speaks of his parents who are calm on the surface but feels extremely painful inside and who speaks of his sister as gentle as him, at least has friendship. And this is enough.
After giving Fang Yamin the landline number at his home, the man left consciously and watched him go away. Chen Yulian then asked, "Feigo, how are you planning to use him?"
An Yifei smiled slightly: "Set up a company and acquire all the scattered cinemas on the market."
"Ah?" Chen Yulian and Yu Qixia looked at each other, not understanding why he had this plan. Was he planning to enter the film and television industry? But this is a restaurant, so it is hard to continue talking about this topic to prevent the partition wall from getting a clue.
An Yifei is of course wholly owned by the company that is planned to be established, but he will also divide some shares to the agent according to the situation. If Fang Yamin is smart enough, then he will be a puppet outside in the future. Not to mention the issue of eating, he may even become a little rich man. This upcoming company will become the pioneer of An Yifei's entry into the film and television industry. The first step is of course to acquire scattered theaters and open up markets in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
An Yifei did not plan to make movies for the time being, but first fully grasped the foundation of Hong Kong movies: theaters. And he will also invest in and acquire and build multiple new cinemas one after another. He will not start in this era when real estate is still very cheap. Will he regret it when the land price increases?
The completion and normal operation of the Tamsui plant has brought An Yifei excellent capital and connections, which will make it easy for him to register and expand his business. Now that he has the pulse of McLeho, the ambitious Hong Kong governor will attract soaring land prices and economic growth in Hong Kong after this year. But before, he needed someone like An Yifei to take the lead and invest everywhere instead of putting money in the bank. This is exactly what An Yifei wants.
After Chen Yulian transferred 200,000 yuan to her account, An Yifei left the afternoon time to this pair of best friends. Women go shopping and men follow each other is a stupid behavior, and he is "very busy" right?
