Hong Kong 1980: Me and the Queen Swapped Clothes

"Think about it, if I really make any progress with him, who else can I talk to besides you?" Joey Wong spread her hands helplessly.

Li Mengdie thought about it and realized that it made sense. She knew from her previous interactions with Wang Zuxian that Wang Zuxian didn't seem to have many friends around here besides herself.

"You're right, so let's just leave it as it is." Li Mengdie cheered up. She was already excited just thinking about being able to get the first scoop on Joey Wong. After all, she had wondered how long it would take Joey Wong to realize that the men who were around her must have feelings for her.

Even with Qin Weiming, whom Li Mengdie had never met, she thought the same thing. What she didn't expect was that Qin Weiming was so calm and collected, and even got Wang Zuxian to agree to go shopping with him alone.

"He can even endure this. This man is amazing. He should be able to quit smoking just like that," Li Mengdie couldn't help but think.

Wang Zuxian was somewhat stunned by her appearance: "Mengdie, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about this Ah Ming you mentioned. He's either really naive, or he's a master at deceiving both of us. I don't know which one he is." Li Mengdie looked at Wang Zuxian thoughtfully, somewhat troubled. "Xiaoxian, why are you either not moved at all, or if you are, why fall for someone so difficult?"

"Aren't you my strategist? I'm asking you to help me think about it. I haven't decided yet whether I like him or not," Wang Zuxian said irritably. She could tell that Li Mengdie was already considering backing out.

Looking at Joey Wong in front of her, Li Mengdie muttered a few words, but dared not say anything more. After all, she knew that what Joey Wong said was right, and she could not back down at this time.

"Then why don't you ask him out for dinner next time? I can go with you and see what he's like, what do you think?" Li Mengdie suggested.

Wang Zuxian thought for a moment, then hesitated, "Then let me go ask him first. If he agrees, I'll take you with me."

"Oh." Li Mengdie nodded meaningfully. She didn't point out the suspicious point in Wang Zuxian's words. She didn't object to having dinner with Qin Weiming at all.

Fang Yanmei was a little surprised when she received Wang Zuxian's call, while Qin Ma kept smiling like an aunt, seemingly happy to see this happen.

"Hey, Ah Ming, are you listening? How's it going?" Wang Zuxian's clear and melodious voice came from the other end of the receiver.

Without further thought, Fang Yanmei agreed on Qin Weiming's behalf: "Okay, have you chosen a restaurant yet? Oh, I'm free on Wednesday. You have a girl coming with you, no problem."

Fang Yanmei didn't see anything wrong with this. She knew that Qin Weiming had feelings for Wang Zuxian and had been pursuing her. So, during the time she was logged in, she would just try her best to help Qin Weiming maintain the previous relationship.

After Wang Zuxian hung up the phone, Fang Yanmei immediately called Qin Weiming back. However, only the landlady answered the phone. She said that Fang Yanmei had gone out, but in fact, she meant that Qin Weiming had been out all day and had not returned.

"Thank you, please tell him to call me when he gets back." Fang Yanmei could only leave a message for her landlady.

"That's strange, where did Amin go today? Didn't I stop all the classes recently?" Fang Yanmei couldn't understand what Qin Weiming was doing now. She had temporarily stopped these classes because of some ideas, and would continue them when she got back.

It wasn't until evening that Qin Weiming called, his voice weary: "Hey, Amei, what's up?"

"You sound so tired, what have you been doing?" Fang Yanmei was a little surprised.

"It's nothing, I just went to a few martial arts schools to learn some moves, and then I practiced some moves with Brother Long and the others to prepare for the later film crew formation." Qin Weiming was indeed very tired. He was grimacing in pain when he answered the phone, and his voice sounded strange, so it was not surprising that Fang Yanmei recognized it.

Fang Yanmei suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Apart from having to do her homework every day, she had a very leisurely time here. Coming here was as relaxing as a vacation.

Moreover, she remembered what had just happened, and quickly told Qin Weiming about Wang Zuxian's invitation: "So I agreed to go to the restaurant with her on Wednesday, and school starts on Thursday."

"Then I'll leave it to you. I trust you with your work. I'll take good care of things here for you. Anyway, the crew is currently in the pre-production setup phase, which is tedious and boring, and there are still many things to do. I've also bought you a year-long gym membership. Remember to work out in the evenings after your classes, whether it's strength training or cardio. You're too thin right now."

The moment Qin Weiming's voice came through, Fang Yanmei couldn't help but clench the receiver tightly. Suddenly, she no longer felt guilty and was filled with hatred for Qin Weiming.

This person is truly a devil.

How could she have felt guilty towards him before? Fang Yanmei couldn't find any better words to describe her feelings at this moment.

She simply couldn't think of a way to express herself to this kind of person.

"I understand." Fang Yanmei finally hung up the phone in a muffled voice.

She didn't want to tell Qin Weiming any more details about her time with Wang Zuxian. She simply wrote down all the experiences in her notebook and let Qin Weiming look them up himself. She didn't want to say anything more.

Qin Weiming didn't really feel anything about this. He just felt that Fang Yanmei hung up the phone unusually quickly today. Usually, she would talk to him for a few more minutes and ask him questions before hanging up.

"Alright, I'll ask next time I call who offended her." Qin Weiming grinned, still puzzled, and dragged his aching body back to sleep.

In the past two days, Qin Weiming has been going to practice with Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao every day, hoping to learn more about filming from them. The filming of these action movies is something Qin Weiming also needs to learn and explore. Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao are simply the best mentors. Their understanding of the industry is so deep and thorough that they treat filmmaking as if it were just like eating and drinking.

This also made Qin Weiming more patient in learning from the two of them. After all, whether it was Cheng Long or Yuen Biao, as long as he could learn and understand even a tenth of what they taught him, it would be enough for him to use.
