Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 105 Who did this?
"What happened just now?"

When the police arrived, they weren't surprised to see Ni Zhen's miserable state on the ground, given how many gangs there are in Hong Kong these days.

"Officer, I don't know. Some people just suddenly appeared, didn't say anything, and started hitting our boss. Then they ran away."

"Aren't you a bodyguard?"

"I'm driving."

"."

The police were speechless and had no choice but to call an ambulance to treat the injured first.

That same night, Yang Yuying took to the stage at TVB's New Year's Eve Gala, where she sang "Gently Tell You" and "The Shy Rose Quietly Blooms".

Although it didn't cause a huge sensation, Hong Kong people still remembered this sweet-voiced Chinese girl.

The next morning, many newspapers published reports about Ni Zhen's heinous acts of violence.

The news immediately became the most talked-about event at the end of the year, after all, the injured person was the son of one of Hong Kong's four famous talents.

This incident has caused quite a stir, with various speculations appearing in the media.

Some say it's because Ni Zhen is too promiscuous, so someone is retaliating.

Some people say it's related to Cao Jian, whom he criticized in a magazine just a couple of days ago.

Some people say that Liu Ximing hired someone to do it.

Some people even speculated that it was done by Joseph Lau, because Ni Zhen and Li Jiaxin had also dated.
There are all sorts of rumors, but none of them have any evidence.

"Holy crap, who's so fierce? They just went all out!"

When Mei Yanfang saw the newspaper, she was also a little confused, but she felt quite pleased.

Who told you to insult Ah Jian? You deserve it!
Seeing the speculation in the newspaper, she also began to wonder if Cao Jian was behind it.

After all, he had said before that he would handle this himself.

However, Cao Jian has now gone to the United States, and this young man has only been in Hong Kong for more than half a year and doesn't know any hooligans at all.

Are there other righteous people in Hong Kong?

To her even greater surprise, it was precisely because Ni Zhen criticized Cao Jian in a magazine that his second album attracted the attention of Hong Kong people, and it sold nearly 400,000 copies in Hong Kong in just two days after its release.

The numbers were even more dramatic in the Mandarin-speaking communities of Taiwan and mainland China, where over 1.2 million tickets were sold in just two days.

Meanwhile, sales in Southeast Asia and other regions totaled 300,000.

Nearly two million in two days. At this rate, should I really quit smoking?
However, the songs "Goodbye Kiss" and "Love Like a Tide" on the album are really good.

Zhou Huimin also reads the newspaper, but when she saw this news, she remained calm.

What she's thinking about now is when her boyfriend, Cao Jian, will come back.

The police investigating Ni Zhen's assault had absolutely no leads, and after their investigation, they essentially ruled out Cao Jian as a suspect.

Because Cao Jian's circle of friends in Hong Kong is really simple.

"This Ni Zhen might become a eunuch; he's been kicked to pieces."

"He's a lame eunuch, all because he's too much of a womanizer."

"Serves him right, hehe, now he'll have to save so many innocent girls."

"If I knew who did it, I might fall in love with him."

……

Two nurses were chatting outside the luxurious private ward.

On the hospital bed, Ni Zhen, who had just woken up, heard the two men's conversation clearly, even though his eyes were closed.

His heart ached as if pricked by needles, even more than the wound itself.

Am I really going to become a eunuch?
What's the point of living then?
In his anguish, he tried to recall who had done it, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't guess who had put him in this state.

He hated Cao Jian, but based on his understanding and investigation of Cao Jian, this person had never had any contact with any thugs, so it couldn't be him.

"Could it be Liu Luanxiong?"

But then I remembered that my ex-girlfriend Li Jiaxin is now Liu Luanxiong's mistress, and I heard that Liu also dotes on Li. Could it really be him?
He could bully Cao Jian, but he couldn't afford to offend Liu Luanxiong.

Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and a plump middle-aged man walked in: "Son, you're awake?"

The middle-aged man felt a pang of heartache when he saw the tears in his son's eyes: "I told you before not to be too promiscuous and not to cause trouble, but you just wouldn't listen."

"Damn it, I'm not reconciled! What am I going to do now?"

Ni Zhen finally broke down in tears.

He was mainly crying because he had become a eunuch. "This person is ruthless, but he left you with a breath of life. That's a warning to you. Don't overthink it. Just be glad you're alive."

Although the middle-aged man did not know who had hit his son, who else but a few wealthy tycoons in Hong Kong would dare to lay a hand on his own son?
Although he was a talented man and had money, he still couldn't afford to offend truly wealthy families.

"Young Master B!"

As the father and son were talking, a younger brother suddenly walked in, holding a magazine in his hand: "Cao Jian's magazine has been released."

"It's gone public?"

Ni Zhen hurriedly took the magazine from his underling, saw the sexy woman on the cover, and asked, "How many copies did it sell?"

"I asked someone to inquire, and I heard that there are at least 30,000 copies available."

"Thirty thousand servings a day?"

Upon hearing this number, Ni Zhen felt that all his previous efforts had been in vain. Suddenly, he was overcome with anger and his wound reopened. He screamed and fainted again.

"Nurse. Nurse-Doctor"

The middle-aged man saw his son like this and immediately shouted.
That night, Cao Wei, along with his five most trusted brothers, accomplished this major task, essentially completing their mission in Hong Kong.

"Sister-in-law, are you in such a hurry to go back to Guangzhou? Why don't you apply to stay a few more days and have a good look around?"

My cousin had told me to be calm and careful, but after he finished that matter, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to take on the task of protecting my sister-in-law.

It's a bit of a pity to go back so early. I've heard that there are many amazing places in Hong Kong that he hasn't been to yet.

"I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go back."

Yang Yuying has completed her performance duties, but she dislikes and finds the numerous social engagements annoying.

Mainly, my boyfriend isn't here, so staying here is pointless.

Cao Wei understood his sister-in-law's feelings; she came excitedly but ended up not being able to spend much time with her boyfriend.

The team leader of New Era Audio-Visual also wanted to meet Cao Jian, but unfortunately he didn't get to.

However, he also heard that the company's cash cow had sold over six million copies of its first album here.

I already thought this was a remarkable achievement, but little did I know it was just the beginning.

But Cao Jian went to the United States, and Yang Yuying was anxious to return, so he had to give up his shopping plans and leave Hong Kong today according to the schedule.

As the group left the hotel and were about to get into their car, Cao Wei saw a magazine stand by the roadside and decided to buy one to take home.

After all, some of the magazines here are not available in mainland China.

As Cao Wei approached the newsstand, about to browse through the magazine, his gaze was suddenly drawn to the woman on the cover of "Men's Style."

This photo is so tempting! And this woman looks so alluring!

That figure, that open collar, those two thighs, and the parts covered by the hem of the clothes—it was more alluring than if she were wearing nothing at all.

"Boss, how much does this cost?"

Cao Wei, who had already learned Cantonese, asked with a smile.

"This magazine is very popular these days. Some people say that the cover girl may become an international superstar and may even have collectible value in the future. It's only HK$15 now."

The newsstand owner smiled and explained that he didn't know whether the foreign woman on the cover could actually become a star.

All he knew was that this was what the magazine's publisher said, and that by using this claim in his advertising, he could indeed sell a lot more money in the past two days.

Moreover, he makes a profit of five Hong Kong dollars for each magazine sold, so of course he promotes it vigorously.

"Then let's get one."

The "Royal Dynasty International" nightclub in Guangzhou is now making a fortune every day, so fifteen Hong Kong dollars is not much for Cao Wei.

He bought a copy of "Men's Gang" and, once in the car, he began to enjoy reading it.

It was quickly discovered by others and became a hot commodity on the bus.

However, Cao Wei was unaware that this magazine was also founded by his cousin, Cao Jian.

There are many people like Cao Wei in Hong Kong.

Besides the beautiful women on the cover, the magazine's content is also about men's favorite topics such as technology, cars, photography, and sports. How could it not sell well?
This has made "Men's Style" a favorite among countless white-collar workers in Hong Kong.

In just one day, the first batch of 50,000 copies sold out, and a second batch of 50,000 copies was urgently released to the market, with an additional 30,000 copies printed.

The fact that newspapers criticized "YES!" as a cancer was one of the reasons why "Men's Health" magazine became so popular.

"The boss is really amazing. It seems that our magazine sold at least 150,000 copies in its first issue. I estimate that it won't be long before 'Men's Health' becomes one of the best-selling magazines in Hong Kong."

Manager Hong Zhibo looked at the data, feeling extremely happy: "If the boss comes back, there will definitely be a generous bonus. I just wonder how the VCD project is going?"
