Rebirth of Hong Kong: The Rise of the Republic

Chapter 128 The Lobbyist

Chapter 128 The Lobbyist
Zhou Runfa stood in front of a house that had been painted over and over again.

At this moment, there were some waves in my heart. When I heard the quarrel inside, my raised hand did not move for a long time.

Gambling is really harmful. A person who originally had unlimited success and a brighter future than himself suddenly fell into this situation.

The last time I asked myself to borrow money and had a bad breakup seemed to be still in front of me, and now I really don't know how to speak when we meet.

When he heard the quarrel stopped, he knocked on the door!
After knocking a few times, it was eerily quiet inside, with no sound coming out.

Zhou Runfa understood this situation when he saw it, and he probably regarded himself as a debt collector.

"Ada, open the door, it's me!"

The people inside breathed a sigh of relief when they heard it was Zhou Runfa, and someone finally came out and opened the door.

Dangdang Dangdang!
There was a sound of an iron door, and the door opened.

Wu Mengda glanced at Zhou Runfa and said with a smile: "Afa, why do you have time to come to my place today? Come in and sit."

Zhou Runfa breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't take the last unpleasantness to heart. He glanced inside and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs. Change your clothes and come down. Let's find a place to chat."

Wu Mengda was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said. Originally, the last time he said such heartless words, he thought that the two of them would part ways from now on, and he didn't expect that he would come to find him.

Now he has to go outside to talk by himself, which really makes him break his head and he doesn't understand why!
But after Zhou Runfa said this, he still nodded and said: "Then wait for me for a while, I will go down right away."

After saying that, he turned around and returned to the house.

When Zhou Runfa saw what he said, he immediately went downstairs.

"Why did Afa come to see you?" Wu Mengda returned to the house, and his wife asked.

Wu Mengda shook his head and said, "I don't know either. He asked me to change my clothes and go downstairs to chat."

"Yes!" His wife responded: "Afa is a very good person, please talk to me."

"I know!"

After Wu Mengda finished speaking, he went into the bedroom, changed his clothes, washed his face before going out and going downstairs.

After seeing him, Zhou Runfa turned around silently and walked to the front. At this time, he had already put on a mask, so he was not recognized by anyone.

After a while, the two came to a tea restaurant.

Zhou Runfa just looked inside and saw that he hadn't eaten the two simple meals, and knew that he hadn't had lunch yet.

"If you want something to eat, order it yourself!" Zhou Runfa handed him the menu card.

"Thank you!" Wu Mengda thanked him, took the menu and ordered the cheapest set meal.

Zhou Runfa noticed it, but didn't say anything. After he ordered it, he ordered a cup of coffee himself.

"Did you come to see me today for something?" Wu Mengda asked after the guy left.

Zhou Runfa glanced at him and said, "You have aged a lot recently!"

"Um~"

Wu Mengda's face was full of astonishment. Why did he suddenly mention this? He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Seeing this, Zhou Runfa continued to ask: "What happened to the gambling debt?"

Wu Mengda also knew at this time that he must have something to do with him, so he answered directly.

"Wireless helped me take care of it. Now two-thirds of my monthly money is used to pay off the debt, and then I do a small job there."

"Are you still betting now?"

"No more, I don't even dare to kill him now!"

"How much money is owed outside?"

"More than 80."

Zhou Runfa looked at him and fell into deep thought.

When Wu Mengda was looked at here, he felt very uncomfortable and even got a little hairy.

"Afa, if there's anything I can do to help you just say it. What happened last time was my fault. I'm serious."

Zhou Runfa didn't answer him and took out the 100 million check he gave Wang Yaodong when he left his office.

The money was mainly used to help him pay off his debts first.

"What do you mean, you don't have that much money to lend me, right?" Wu Mengda looked at the check on the dining table and asked with confusion.

"This was given by Wang Yaodong from Yaodong Films. He wants to sign you. This is a loan from you to pay off the debt. You will deduct the money from your salary in the future." Zhou Runfa explained.

"Uh~ Why?"

Wu Mengda is even more confused now. They must have never met. How did they know him?

The two of them had no interaction at all, and now they called Zhou Runfa to come over and say that he wanted to sign him, and he even lent him so much in one go.

It's just that he is destined to not get the answer here with Zhou Runfa!

He shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. He asked you by name. You can think about it."

When Wu Mengda heard what he said, he reached out to the dining table.

It's just that my hands haven't touched the check for a long time, it feels like I'm trying to pick up some hot potato.

Seeing this, Zhou Runfa said: "You can take the check back and think about it first. The things are about to be delivered, so put away the check first!"

When Wu Mengda saw what he said, he gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to pick up the check.

For some reason, after picking up the check, my hands began to tremble as if uncontrollably.

It took a while to carefully put the check away.

When he asked Zhou Runfa what happened with a trembling voice.

I saw him shaking his head and saying: "Let's eat!"

When Wu Mengda heard this, he had no choice but to eat first. His stomach had already protested. He hadn't eaten such good food in a long time!

After a meal, Zhou Runfa paid the bill, and the two went outside.

"I won't go back with you. I still have things to do. As for Yaodong Pictures, you can think about it yourself." Zhou Runfa looked at Wu Mengda and said.

"Okay, I understand!" Wu Mengda responded immediately after hearing what he said.

Zhou Runfa nodded and emphasized again: "Don't waste this hard-won opportunity. If you gamble again, you will have to fend for yourself."

"Okay Afa, thank you!"

Zhou Runfa paused when he heard what he said, waved his hand and left coolly.

Wu Mengda didn't turn around and leave until he couldn't see his back. Unknowingly, two tears streaked down his cheeks.

……

"Do you still need lunch?" Wu Mengda's daughter-in-law Mai Lili asked after returning home.

Wu Mengda shook his head and said, "No need, I ate it when I went out."

"Then what does Afa want from you?" Mai Lili continued to ask.

Wu Mengda thought for a while and said, "He represents Yaodong Films and came to dig me to his side."

"Yaodong Pictures? The one that's been in the newspapers a lot lately?" Mai Lili's eyes lit up in surprise when she heard the name of the company.

Every day when Mai Lili goes out to buy things, she reads a little newspaper.

Seeing her expression, Wu Mengda knew that she knew about this company.

"Then you can go. I heard that this company is very powerful." Mai Lili suggested.

"Am I committing injustice by doing this?" Wu Mengda asked in confusion.Mai Lili was quite speechless when she heard what he said. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "At Wireless, you are just a walk-in. You can grab a lot of people there, but you are not that important."

Wu Mengda was stunned for a moment when he heard his wife say this, but after thinking about it, it seemed very reasonable.

There are indeed many walk-ins in wireless.

But I still complained in my heart: Are you going to tear me down like this?

"Since you think so, then sign a contract with them. I'll go to their company tomorrow." Wu Mengda nodded.

"Are you still going to play a small role this afternoon?" Mai Lili asked.

Wu Mengda thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "No, I will see those people come over in the afternoon and pay back everything they owe!"

When Mai Lili heard this, she was stunned for a moment and said, "Afa lent you money?"

Wu Mengda nodded, then shook his head.

"What does this mean?" Mai Lili asked confused.

"It was indeed Ah Fa who took the money, but it was not Ah Fa who owned the money from Yaodong Pictures." Wu Mengda explained.

"We met a good person!" Mai Lili said with emotion.

But she was very confused, why did the boss of Yaodong Pictures borrow this money?

But he knew he wouldn't get an answer, so he didn't ask.

……

After Zhou Runfa said goodbye to Wu Mengda, he reported the results to Wang Yaodong not long after.

Wang Yaodong was also stunned after receiving the news, and did not expect to finish the matter with him.

He went to do it right after he left, and it seemed that he really cared about it.

However, Wang Jing happened to be here when he said this, and Wang Yaodong didn't chat much with him. He just hung up after a few words.

"Director Wang, I called you here today. You should know what's going on, right?" Wang Yaodong said to Wang Jing on the side after talking on the phone.

"Sheng Wang, is it about the film? My film has finished post-production and can be released at any time." Wang Jing replied.

Wang Yaodong shook his head when he heard this and said, "No, I'm not worried about your God of Gamblers."

"Then what else is going on?" Wang Jing asked doubtfully.

In his mind, there should be nothing wrong!
"Don't you know that our Yaodong Pictures has our own theater chain?" Wang Yaodong said with an incredulous look on his face.

"I know, I saw the newspaper!" Wang Jing said frankly: "It's good to have a theater chain. You can make a lot more money this way."

Wang Yaodong didn't intend to talk dumb to him, and said directly: "With the theater chain, do we need to have film sources?"

"Hey, this is nothing. There are so many independent filmmakers in Xiangjiang, and film sources are not readily available." Wang Jing said with a very optimistic look.

"We have no way to get film sources from elsewhere now. We have to rely on ourselves for everything!" Wang Yaodong said helplessly.

"Why?" Wang Jing opened his mouth.

"Because we are flanked by Jiahe and Princess Jin, no one will dare to take risks. What if we are beaten down?" Wang Yaodong explained.

Wang Jing understood what he said, but he didn't expect that the two people who were fighting there two days ago would now join forces.

But while filming, he looked at Wang Yaodong with some hesitation when he thought about the words of the actor who played Long Wu.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There's no need to hesitate like this."

Wang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Xiang Sheng is interested in entering the film industry. Is there any chance of cooperation?"

Wang Yaodong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to go around in circles. Instead, the most promising company to cooperate with was actually the company of the society.

"Okay, as long as they dare to come to my place to show it, I support it with both hands."

"Then I'll talk to Xiang Sheng later, and then you two will talk slowly tomorrow?"

"Okay, then the matter is settled, but you still have to make a few more movies so that we can have film sources. Otherwise, it will be too slow if we don't produce it ourselves."

The two finished talking about business and chatted for a while before Wang Jing said goodbye.

After he left, Wang Yaodong also quickly left the company and headed towards Menghao Electronics Factory.

"The finished product is out, where is it, let me see!" Wang Yaodong came to Lin Jiahao's office, opened the door and said loudly.

His voice shocked Lin Jiahao and Chen Mengting who were playing games.

When the two of them saw that it was Wang Yaodong and were about to turn around and continue playing the game, the machine was already counting down.

He was fighting the BOSS, but when he turned around, everyone died.

Now that everything was like this, the two of them got up directly, and they had been fighting for a long time from morning to now.

They thought of Wang Yaodong when they had dinner in the afternoon, so they hurriedly informed him.

This thing, do you still need his opinion when it is finally sold?
"Is this the machine that was made?"

Before Lin Jiahao and the others spoke, Wang Yaodong had already come to the game console and started stroking it.

"Master Dong, how are you? Does this game console meet your expectations?" Chen Mengting patted the game console and asked.

Wang Yaodong smiled and said: "It's not bad, the workmanship is still a bit rough, but it's good to have this effect."

"The level is limited, forgive me, how about we play a few games?" Lin Jiahao said with a smile.

Today the game console is finally completed and he can make money again immediately, so he is happy every day.

"Okay, let's play two rounds." Wang Yaodong happily agreed.

After the two sat down, they started playing.

From the beginning of the game, Wang Yaodong showed off his skills. Although he had not played this game for many years, after he got started, all his memories were restored immediately.

Chen Mengting watched from the side and exclaimed again and again.

By the third level, Lin Jiahao had died many times, but Wang Yaodong had not died even once, and his health volume was still normal.

Until the game was completed, Chen Mengting couldn't help but applaud. It was really wonderful. Lin Jiahao died countless times, but Wang Yaodong still played smoothly and never died once.

It’s really just a game currency, you can play the entire game directly!

"Dong Shao, you are too good!" Lin Jiahao also sighed.

Wang Yaodong waved his hand and said: "Wherever it goes, that's it."

"However, this is your first time fighting, so why are we so different?" Lin Jiahao asked in confusion.

"This is the problem of talent, you can't learn it!" Wang Yaodong joked.

But miraculously, Lin Jiahao actually recognized this answer.

"You two come over to the sofa and talk. I'll make coffee for you!" Chen Mengting put down the coffee and said to the two of them.

"Okay, thank you!"

After Wang Yaodong finished speaking, he first walked to the sofa and sat down, picked up a cup of coffee and drank it.

"Dong Shao, do you have any suggestions about the point of sale?" Lin Jiahao followed and asked after taking a sip of coffee.

"Don't worry, I already have a plan. How many units of this game console can be produced in a day?" Wang Yaodong replied.
