Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 105 The Director Was Beaten
Store manager Zhang showed a simple and honest smile on his face, and said: "Boss Xiao, I'm trying to drive ducks to the shelves now, and I have to deal with people. I can't speak and run into walls everywhere."

Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, this can be considered progress, as long as you don't abandon your skills."

Store manager Zhang said: "You can't throw away your cooking skills. The boss had better find a manager, so I can concentrate on making jewelry."

Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, I'll find the right person later, by the way, I have something here, you can see if you can do it."

Xiao Chuan and store manager Zhang came to the office of store manager Zhang, the workshop behind the gold store.

Xiao Chuan locked the door of the office, which made Store Manager Zhang feel like he was beating drums. He didn't know what Boss Xiao was going to do. If he took me... would I obey or resist?

Xiao Chuan didn't care about Manager Zhang's mental activities, and took out an exquisite box from the space warehouse and opened it.

Manager Zhang's eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed: "God, such a big pink diamond is as big as a quail egg."

Xiao Chuan said: "Old Zhang, can you polish diamonds?"

Store manager Zhang said: "Yes!"

Xiao Chuan said: "Help me make a diamond necklace."

Store manager Zhang said: "Boss Xiao, if such a big diamond is made into a necklace, it will be worth more than [-] million yuan. Are you so relieved to let me make it?"

Xiao Chuan put the diamond box into the hands of store manager Zhang, and said, "Old Zhang, I believe in your craftsmanship and your character. You will definitely be able to make the best jewelry in the world."

Store manager Zhang blushed with excitement, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, I will live up to expectations and produce jewelry that shocks the world."

Xiao Chuan took out another bag, which contained dozens of diamonds, and said, "Master Zhang, you can use these small diamonds to practice your hands first, and these gold and silver."

A box of gold and two boxes of silver were placed in front of Manager Zhang, who was so surprised that he was speechless.

After saying goodbye to his wife and children, Xiao Chuan boarded the plane to Sierra Leone.

According to the address given by director Edward, Xiao Chuan came to the crew of "Blood Diamond".

As soon as he approached the crew of "Blood Diamond", Xiao Chuan felt that the atmosphere was not right.

There were several pickup trucks parked outside the crew, and the people standing or sitting in the cars with live ammunition could not tell whether they were rebels or regular troops.

The security guards of the crew were also on standby, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, and looking outside nervously.

Xiao Chuan came to the door of the crew and explained his identity. A security guard walked in, and soon a bald man in his 40s came out.

"Mr. Xiao, hello, I'm the assistant director. It's inconvenient for Director Edward to pick you up, so follow me."

Xiao Chuan walked into a room with the assistant director. There were several people sitting in the room. A man with gray hair was lying on the bed. The man's head was wrapped with gauze, obviously injured.

The assistant director said: "Edward, Mr. Xiao is here."

Edward struggled to sit up. Xiao Chuan stepped forward, supported Edward, and asked him to lie down.

Edward waved his hand, and the other actors and staff retreated, leaving only the assistant director behind. Edward said in a weak voice, "Mr. Xiao, hello."

Xiao Chuan did not expect that Edward, who had a loud voice on the phone for the first two days, looked very haggard now, and asked, "Director Edward, why are you injured?"

Seeing that Director Edward was very weak, the assistant director said angrily: "The "Blood Diamond" we shot touched the interests of the diamantaires. They threatened and lured us not to shoot. When our "Blood Diamond" crew refused to give in, they colluded with the local gangsters. The evil forces keep making trouble for us, and today they even rushed into the set to beat and scold the crew. Director Edward went out to reason with them, but the other party took action and hit Edward on the head with a gun butt. Edward fainted at that time. They Just retreat."

Xiao Chuan said: "Do you know who ordered it?"

The assistant director said: "I don't know who it is, but those armed men outside are their hired thugs."

Xiao Chuan said: "Edward, you can rest assured to heal your wounds, I will take care of the diamond dealer's matter, you can just film with peace of mind."

The assistant director said: "We've almost finished filming our literary and drama scenes, and we haven't filmed some battle scenes yet."

Xiao Chuan said: "Well, you continue to shoot literary dramas. I have already selected the location and extras for the big scenes. I will go to shoot after I finish my business with the diamond dealer."

The assistant director asked: "Won't it make things bigger?"

Xiao Chuan said: "It's okay, I'll take care of myself when something goes wrong."

Xiao Chuan took out the satellite phone, dialed Li Qiang, and said, "Head Li, where have you been?"

Li Qiang said: "We have arrived at the capital of Sierra Leone and are heading to Kono City."

Xiao Chuan said: "Don't go to Kono City, I'll send you a location, come to the crew first, and swatt the flies around the crew to death."

After a long time, Xiao Chuan's phone rang, and Li Qiang brought someone here.

Xiao Chuan said: "Assistant director, please ask the crew not to leave the base."

Xiao Chuan left the film crew, and Li Qiang came with more than 30 people and a large line of pickup trucks.

"Mr. Xiao, who are you?"

"Keep a few alive, and kill the rest!"

With Li Qiang's order, James' heavy machine gun fired first, and several unsuspecting armed men were beaten into sieves.

Only then did the others react, jump out of the car, raise their guns and fight back.

"Boom boom boom!"

Zhang Lin and the others threw a few grenades, blowing up the armed men.

Li Qiang shouted loudly in Mandi language: "Kneel down, hand in your gun and don't kill, hand in your gun and don't kill."

Those who reacted slowly were beaten to death by the mercenary group, while those who reacted quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Xiao Chuan said: "Find a place and interrogate the captives. Who ordered them?"

Li Qiang said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, we are the best at interrogating prisoners."

Soon, news came from Li Qiang that this group of armed men was employed by the mayor of Kenema City, Sierra Leone. As for the mayor, he did not know who instigated it.

Xiao Chuan said: "Send these captives to the mines. Last time I went to destroy the diamond mines with a few brothers who went to meet Mayor Kenema for a while, and the others stayed to protect the safety of the crew."

Archer hurriedly said, "Mr. Xiao, Solomon and his son and I also want to go."

Xiao Chuan said: "Okay, get in the car."

Xiao Chuan got into Li Qiang's car, just as Archer, Solomon and his son were in the pickup truck.

When Archer saw Xiao Chuan, he was very happy and said, "Mr. Xiao, hello, nice to see you again."

Xiao Chuan said with a smile: "Mr. Archer, I heard that you are married. Are you happy after marriage?"

With a happy smile on his face, Archer said: "My family life is very happy. This is my daughter, who is already three years old. I want to earn money for milk powder for my child."

Xiao Chuan saw the photo Archer took out, on which was a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes who looked like a doll, somewhat similar to Maddie.

So Xiao Chuan congratulated: "Archer, your daughter is very beautiful and lovely, and her mother, Maddie, is also very good, right? Did you object to your becoming a mercenary?"

Archer said: "McGrady is very good. Her article on diamonds won a Pulitzer Prize. He supported me as a mercenary, because Captain Li's mercenary group only takes on crime-fighting jobs. I live here. very happy."

Xiao Chuan looked at Solomon and his son again. The original young boy had grown into a young man, as strong and strong as Solomon. The father and son were like two black iron towers.
