Ye Weilan made a phone call and then took Zhang Ge straight to Shao's Studios, ready to find an unknown veteran to be the CEO of the new company.
It was already ten in the morning. As soon as they entered the film studio, they saw no less than ten film crews filming movies, half of which were shooting zombie movies.
Zhang Ge couldn't help but laugh. He didn't know what to say. The decline of Xiangjiang movies was largely due to the trend.
The two of them walked all the way inside and saw a man holding a bowl and eating by the roadside. Zhang Ge casually asked,
The man raised his head when he heard that. When he saw the glamorous Zhang Ge, the rice noodles in his mouth fell into his bowl. He said in surprise,"It's you, young master!"
"Sun Zhiwen! Are you an extra here?"
Zhang Ge saw the man's face and smiled.
"It's me, young master still remembers me. That's great, young master, I must repay your kindness today.”Sun Zhiwen kept nodding his head, tears streaming down his face.
At this moment, an old man walked out of the house and said with a Yungui accent,"Brother, is one bowl enough? Why don't I get you a bowl of boiled water?”
"Thank you, brother. Thank you."”
Sun Zhiwen was still wearing the clothes from a few days ago. They were wrinkled, and his shoes were gone. He squatted on the ground barefooted, and his entire body was emitting an unpleasant smell. Clearly, his plan to make a fortune had failed.
"Friend, don't you have connections?”Zhang Ge asked.
"Hai, don't mention it."
Sun Zhiwen smiled bitterly and returned the bowl to the old man."Grandpa, thank you for giving me a bowl of rice to eat. When I, Sun Zhiwen, become rich one day, I'll definitely give you a thousand gold in return. My brother is here to pick me up, so I won't disturb you any longer.”
Alright, the lie came out of his mouth without a draft.
The old man saw through it and said with a smile,"We are all compatriots. You should be fine. If you can't survive in Xiangjiang City, go back.”
After saying that, he took the bowl and returned to his room. Zhang Ge smiled and said,"I thought you came to Xiangjiang City to look for your friend.”
Sun Zhiwen's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said,"I lost my bag when I was crossing the river. When that dog heard that I was penniless, he immediately turned hostile and wanted to cheat me of my money!”
Zhang Ge took out a cigarette and handed it to him, lighting it for him.""Take your time. I happen to have time.”
Soon, Zhang Ge understood his situation.
It turned out that Sun Zhiwen was from Jinyang, Jinxi Province. He was also the first college student in his village. After graduating and being assigned a job, he was promoted to the director of the investment promotion office. His parents were still alive, his wife was virtuous, and his daughter was sensible. In the eyes of many people, his life was almost perfect.
The reason why he came to Xiangjiang was very simple--he was stimulated by the rich coal bosses around him. He really didn't want to get a salary of a few hundred yuan every month.
Sun Zhiwen was talking about a fellow villager who had settled in Xiangjiang City in his seventies. It was said that he had made a fortune in Xiangjiang City and had introduced many people to Xiangjiang City.
Sun Zhiwen spent some money to pull strings and contacted this fellow villager, begging him to take him along.
After his fellow countrymen agreed, the excited Sun Zhiwen borrowed more than 100,000 yuan from his relatives and friends. Then, he went south excitedly, preparing to do big business with his fellow countrymen in Xiangjiang.
Sun Zhiwen was bold but careful. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He sneaked out of his hometown in the middle of the night to eavesdrop.
What he heard almost scared him to death.
It turned out that the so-called " making a fortune " of the villagers in Xiangjiang City was to cheat the money they brought over and then cheat more villagers. Those without money would be sold to Siam and Singapore as laborers.
After Sun Zhiwen understood the truth, he did not care about anything else and immediately jumped over the wall to escape.
When the people in the house heard the commotion, they immediately chased after Sun Zhiwen with knives. Sun Zhiwen finally escaped with his shoes. The 1,000 yuan and documents that Zhang Ge gave him were all left in the bedroom.
"You've been begging for food for the past ten days?" Zhang Ge said.
"Not really. I'm an extra here.”Sun Zhiwen touched his head and said embarrassedly,""I've filmed two scenes in the past ten days, and the group leader even praised me for my talent. However, I didn't have any documents. The police almost arrested me two days ago. When the limelight dies down these two days, I can continue acting to earn money. But young master, you also said that it was fate that brought us together. You saved my life last time, so I must repay your kindness no matter what.”
Fine, you're bold, you know how to say shameless things, I'll let you do it!
Zhang Ge laughed and asked,"Friend, you want to work for me?"”
"It's fine as long as you can eat your fill." Sun Zhiwen nodded desperately.”
"Do everything?" asked Zhang Ge.”
Sun Zhiwen said firmly,"I'll go through fire and water."”
" You promised me that. I didn't force you. If you go back on your word..." Zhang Ge said with a smile.
"I won't go back on my word." Sun Zhiwen was even more determined.
Zhang Ge was amused.”Zhang Ge said to Ye Weilan," Aunt, don't look for Director Liu. This guy is not bad. Let's go with him."”
Ye Weilan also heard Zhang Ge talking about the situation of crossing the river that day. She sized up Sun Zhiwen and nodded.
Then, they drove back to Hong Kong.
In Central, Zhang Ge first brought Sun Zhiwen to the mall for a shopping spree, then helped him get a haircut, and finally bought him a Mercedes-Benz.
An hour later, in the Hilton Hotel, Sun Zhiwen came out of his bedroom wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a Vacheron Constantin watch, and a stiff suit. Not only did he look brand new, but he also exuded the aura of an elegant scholar.
"You don't have to say, it's really interesting.”Zhang Ge laughed.
Sun Zhiwen didn't understand the situation and carefully sat opposite Zhang Ge.""Young master, what do you want me to do for you?”
Zhang Ge smiled and began to reveal a part of his plan to Sun Zhiwen.
When Sun Zhiwen heard this, not only was he not afraid, but he was also eager to try."Understood. I'll do it."
"Alright, from now on, your name is Xuan. You have a PhD in economics from Harvard. Your main focus is Asian currency and financial systems. I'll give you a pair of glasses."
By the way, how's your English? What about Cantonese?"
Sun Zhiwen thought, who is Xuan? Why is he wearing glasses?
"I used to work in the investment promotion office, so my oral English is not bad. She could also speak Cantonese and had learned it before coming to Xiangjiang.”
Zhang Ge immediately took turns to chat with him in English and Cantonese, then shook his head and said,
"Your oral pronunciation is not standard. I will arrange a teacher for you next. In half a month, you have to practice an American accent for me.”
"I promise to complete the mission."
"Do a good job. I promise you'll bring a million yuan home this year.”
