After Ana Shen and Li Hong left, Zhou Yan called his brother Zhou Hong again and told him what had just happened.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou Hong was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "I understand, you can go filming first, and don't worry about other things. After you get to Beishi, I will send some People are with you to ensure your safety."
Zhou Yan originally wanted to say that there should be no problem in Beishi, but after thinking about it, he still did not refuse. This time, he was too careless. This kind of thing.
"Okay."
"Have you told Xu Feng about this?" Zhou Hong asked again.
"Not yet, but she should know about what happened in the afternoon soon, because I asked Tomson to send a lawyer."
"It's okay, she will know what happened in the afternoon as soon as she knows it, and don't follow the rest. She said it."
"Yes." Zhou Yan nodded, and then asked, "What are you going to do about this? If it doesn't work, we can actually call the police."
"Don't. Asked, go to filming with peace of mind and return to Yanjing as soon as possible. "
Although Zhou Yan was curious about what his brother would do, he didn't ask any more questions since he was told not to ask.
...
Jiang Mengfei came back that night with a cast on his forearm.
The result of the examination was that it was a fracture. Fortunately, it was just an ordinary partial fracture. No surgery was needed. Just conservative treatment.
Jiang Mengfei is still young and should be fine after a few months.
For Jiang Mengfei, the fracture was a trivial matter. The main reason was that he was angry after being attacked and eaten so many sap.
His arm was in a cast, and he threatened to find the people he met in the bar today.
Compared with the people who rushed out at night, he hated those he met in the bar. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that they were the masterminds behind the scenes.
"Mom, if you don't dare to do it openly, you just know how to play dirty." When they arrived at Zhou Yan's room, Jiang Mengfei was still angry and hammered the sofa with his good hand.
This movement caused his left arm to shake, causing him to take a breath of pain, "Hiss~"
Zhou Yan smiled and poured him a glass of water, and sat down opposite him, " This injury is a blessing among misfortunes. The other party also had concerns, otherwise he would not have run away so quickly.”
"If a few of us hadn't drank a little and the incident happened suddenly, even if they had sticks, they wouldn't have been able to take advantage." Jiang Mengfei was still unconvinced.
Indeed, this was quite cowardly. It happened too fast. They didn’t even organize an effective counterattack and just let the other party run away.
Furthermore, several of them were beaten, and only Jiang Mengfei had a broken arm. He felt a little embarrassed.
Of course Zhou Yan can understand Jiang Mengfei's mood, and it would be good to let him vent his complaints.
He looked at Li Hong next to him, "Have you informed everyone about the cancellation of the holiday?"
"Well, everyone has been notified. I didn't tell them about the sneak attack. I only said that I wanted to speed up the filming progress. Although everyone was a little surprised, they didn't say anything."
"It's okay not to tell them. Okay, save them from thinking too much." Zhou Yan nodded and said to Jiang Mengfei, "Our large force will rush to Taiwan tomorrow. I will arrange for someone to take you back to Yanjing to recover."
When Jiang Mengfei heard this, Zhou Yan said. Let him go back first and quit immediately, "I'm fine. I still have an arm. I'll go to Beishi with the army."
Zhou Yan's face darkened, "It's nonsense, you still want it Can't we take care of you? There's no need to discuss this matter. You have to go back tomorrow."
Jiang Mengfei flinched after being scolded by Zhou Yan. Although he had a good relationship with Zhou Yan in private, he did not dare to do so because of Zhou Yan's authority. touch.
"I understand, I will go back tomorrow."
Seeing Jiang Mengfei agree, Zhou Yan softened his tone again, "Go back and recuperate, go to the hospital for regular check-ups, and the studio will reimburse you for all expenses, as well as nutrition "
Jiang Mengfei was a little embarrassed, "This is not a work-related injury."
"I said it was a work-related injury. You did a good job today. You must know how to do it when you are out. Protect your companions, don't cause trouble, and don't be afraid of trouble." At this point, Zhou Yan looked at his watch and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."
"Okay. Director Zhou, you should go to bed early, you have stayed up until now for this matter." Li Hong stood up.
Jiang Mengfei opened his mouth to say something else, but was pulled up by Li Hong, "Let's go, Mengfei, don't delay Director Zhou's rest."
"Oh, okay."
...
The two of them left Zhou Yan's room. Mengfei curled his lips and said, "Old Li, why are you pulling me?"
Li Hong looked back at him, "I don't know yet. What are you going to say? It must be about revenge, right?”
"Of course, this loss can't be in vain, right? Besides, I remember that Lao Zhou is not such a timid person, so he becomes a deserter?"
Li Hong gave Jiang Mengfei a roll of his eyes, "Speaking of Mengfei You have been with Director Zhou longer than we have, so you should know Director Zhou better than us. Of course Director Zhou is not a shy person, but he is not a young boy who knows how to fight. Now there are so many people in our crew in Hong Kong. "As the first person in charge, Director Zhou's first priority is to ensure the safety of all of us, and the second is to film the show well."
"I feel a bit useless," Jiang Mengfei muttered.
Of course he knew what Li Hong said was right, but he just couldn't swallow it.
"Okay, I know you are angry. When we get back to Yanjing, we will have a drink with you."
Jiang Mengfei rolled his eyes and raised his injured arm, "I won't be able to drink for a while."
"It's okay, let's drink, you can just sit by and watch."
"Lao Li, are you talking about this as a person?"
"Then I will give you the bottle of 1982 Wuliangye that I saved at home. How about that?"
Jiang Mengfei licked his lips and looked Li Hong up and down, "Not bad, he looks like a human being now."
"Fuck you."
......
The next day, the crew of "Time Traveler" split into two groups, one heading to Taiwan and the other heading back to Yanjing.
The team returning to Yanjing was led by deputy director Xiao Can, who happened to go back early to prepare for the post-production of the movie.
Except for a few people involved, basically no one else in the crew knew what happened yesterday. Many people were very surprised to see Jiang Mengfei’s arm in a plaster, but Jiang Mengfei claimed that he was moving props. Be careful of falling.
In fact, combined with the sudden suspension of the production and Jiang Mengfei's injury, many people felt something was wrong and vaguely felt that something had happened. However, they had not heard any news and could only guess in their hearts.
Most people's mood was not affected. The filming was coming to an end and they were going to Taiwan now, so they were relatively relaxed.
Many people have never been to Taiwan and are very curious about it.
......
In an apartment in Kowloon, after hearing the report from his subordinate Ma Zai, Chen Zhaoji showed a contemptuous smile, "They are wise enough to know that even calling the police is useless. .”
Chen Zhaoji went to a bar with his friends yesterday. He saw a pretty girl and wanted to strike up a conversation. Who knew that the girl would not give her face?
Later, there was a verbal conflict between the two sides. Finally, relying on their strength in numbers, they surrounded the few people.
Originally, I wanted to force the other party to submit, but who knew that the other party would not accept the soft and hard words. In the end, one of them took the initiative and wanted to slap the other person, and the fight started.
Originally, Chen Zhaoji thought that with more than a dozen people on his side and only a few men on the other side, they would not be at a disadvantage. Who would have thought that if there was a fight, they would have no ability to fight back.
Especially the tall guy on the opposite side, who knocked down two or three people on their side with just a few moves including fists and kicks.
Later, when the trouble went to the police station, Chen Zhaoji felt that he had suffered a loss and had to apologize to the other party. However, his father later sent someone over to ask him to settle the matter.
Their family is a peripheral member of the organization. They have made a lot of money by relying on the gang in recent years.
Seeing that next year will be 1997, everyone is busy cleaning up, and his family is no exception. At such a critical period, his father certainly didn't want any complications. If things got too big, it would be of no benefit to them.
Although Chen Zhaoji was unwilling to give in, he still obeyed and chose to retreat.
However, after leaving the police station, Chen Zhaoji arranged for someone to follow him, and finally launched an ambush on the other party on his way back to the hotel after dinner.
He originally wanted his people to bring knives, but thinking about his father's words, he didn't do so and only asked them to bring baseball bats.
They have done this kind of thing many times, and their methods are very skillful. If the other party is not prepared, it is impossible to find the person.
Even if the other party can think that he hired someone to do it, but there is no evidence, the other party can't do anything.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhaoji leaned comfortably on the sofa, with a comfortable look on his face. The tone he had last afternoon finally came out.
It's a pity that no one was videotaped, otherwise, it would be so beautiful to watch the video of the other person being beaten while sipping red wine.
There is another thing that is a pity, that is, I didn’t hook up with that beautiful woman.
Chen Zhaoji has also seen many beauties, but the one he saw yesterday ranks among the best among all the women he has seen.
Although the girl was dressed in ordinary clothes and not well-dressed, she was not inferior to celebrities at all.
Thinking of such a beautiful woman slipping away from his hands, Chen Zhaoji felt regretful. If the situation hadn't been different from before, he would have had other means.
"Mr. Chen, do you want to find someone to ambush them again?" the subordinate asked.
Chen Zhaoji was a little moved, but finally shook his head, "Forget it, after last night, they should be on guard. They are not so easy to ambush. Let's let them go this time."
"Understood."
"How is the business of the two newly opened restaurants recently? Is it improving?" Chen Zhaoji asked about business matters again.
The main business of their family is catering. They have opened many restaurants in Xiangjiang, but the scale is not large.
Now Chen Zhaoji is gradually starting to take charge of his own business, so his family opened two restaurants for him to manage.
It’s just that he has been used to messing around since he was a child and is not very proficient in business matters, so the two restaurants have never been very good and they are losing more and more.
It was almost the end of the year. If his family found out that he had lost a lot of money when he settled the accounts, he would be in bad luck.
“Our restaurant is running fine, but the restaurant next to it is always causing trouble. That Guangdong Haichao restaurant has recently organized some activities. Regular customers can bring new customers and get a 40% discount.”
< br>"40% off?" Chen Zhaoji raised his eyebrows, "Can I still make money with this discount?"
"I don't know if they can make money. Anyway, their business is very good now, and the business of our restaurant is getting worse and worse."
"md, you don't know how to flatter me, please send someone over to take a look tonight."< br>
“Are you going to cause some trouble for them?”
“Let’s take a look at the situation first and then talk about it later.”
“Understood.”
They are not good at doing business, but they have a lot of tricks to deal with competitors. Restaurants like this are the easiest to do. They send people to report hygiene problems a few times, which is enough to give their boss a headache.
If that doesn't work, just put some cockroaches or something, at least it will disgust the customers in the store.
If it is done, it will not only affect the opponent's business, but it may also lead to a loss of compensation.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. The worst thing that can happen is that Ma Zai will be captured and stay there for two days. For his Ma Zai, being captured is the same as going home.
If you do it well, you might even be able to take over the store opposite.
They have many stores and they buy them like this.
As for those restaurants, they didn’t kill them all and gave them some money.
According to Chen Zhaoji’s father, if you don’t give money, isn’t it illegal?
……
After Zhou Yan and the others arrived in Taiwan, they went straight to the location to prepare for filming without rest.
There are not many scenes in Taiwan, so even the preparation and shooting, all the scenes on Taiwan were shot in one and a half days.
In fact, there was no need to film the scenes on Taiwan. Zhou Yan felt that adding Taiwan was of special significance, so he specially added these scenes.
After the filming was finished, Zhou Yan asked the crew to rest for a day and then return directly.
He will stay in Taiwan for a few days. In addition to some work matters, he also has some personal matters to take care of.
Last time I said I was going to visit Wang Zuxian’s house. I couldn’t miss it this time, otherwise it would be embarrassing.
As for the final banquet, Zhou Yan did not hold it, and directly announced that he would organize it in Yanjing.
The day after the filming was completed, Zhou Yan went home with Wang Zuxian.
The Wang family now lives in a high-end community next to Tianmu Park in Shilin District, in a three-story villa with a garden.
Wang Zuxian financed the purchase of this villa for her family to live in. Even her parents’ names were written in the house book. She had been living in it before.
Wang Zuxian likes to buy a house, but she buys other houses for investment and other appreciation. She obviously didn’t think so much about buying this house, because she spent millions of Taiwan dollars just on decoration. Together with the house price, it cost more than NT$10 million.
The decoration, which cost several million Taiwan dollars, is indeed very good, but the overall decoration style is not very clear.
Push open the garden door and go in. At first glance, you will think that this is a typical Western-style villa, but when you walk in, you will find that there are many Chinese elements mixed in.
The Persian carpet on the floor of the living room creates a wonderful cultural conflict with the traditional four-piece set in the nave.
The Wang family attaches great importance to Zhou Yan's arrival, and all eleven members of the family, including four generations, are present.
Except for Wang’s mother and her second brother Wang Zuan and Zhou Yan, it was the first time for Zhou Yan to meet everyone else.
Wang Zuxian introduced everyone one by one, and Zhou Yan said hello one by one.
After everyone had said hello, Zhou Yan took out the gifts and started giving them away.
These gifts, the gifts for the common people and the juniors were all chosen by Wang Zuxian, and the gifts for the four elders were chosen by Zhou Yan himself.
The brooch I chose for Mrs. Wang is a gold-colored brooch. Zhou Yan specially found someone to design it. I heard Wang Zuxian said that her mother likes butterflies, so the style was designed with a butterfly in mind.
Mother Wang couldn't put it down when she got the brooch. She couldn't help but praise, "This craftsmanship is really good, the butterflies are lifelike, Zhou Yan, it will cost you money."
"As long as you like it, Auntie. The man who made this brooch, Liu Yongxing, is a famous master in Yanjing. He doesn't produce many products every year. I was lucky enough to get an appointment with him."
"I'm interested."
What Zhou Yan prepared for Dad Wang was a pen, not an international brand like Parker, but an old Chinese brand called Hero.
Dad Wang was a little surprised when he saw the pen, "This pen looks old."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Uncle has good eyesight. This pen was redesigned by Huafu in 1962. The first batch of 'Hero 100 Gold Pens' have a series of numbers on the pen barrel, which are the production date and the number of the pen. ”
"Oh, let me see, the number at the back is 66."
"Well, it is the sixty-sixth Hero 100 gold pen. The first hundred pens have numbers. This pen has been collected. It has never been opened and used.”
After hearing Zhou Yan’s introduction to the origin of this pen, everyone present was a little surprised. They did not expect that a seemingly ordinary pen could have such meaning.
This pen has basically no practical value, because no one who gets this pen will use it to write. It has more collection value. (End of this chapter)
