Chapter 583 Maoshan Taoist
"Is there no one else who can save you but me?"
Fatty Lin was so angry he laughed.
"Fatty, there's really no one to save me!" Zhong Tianzhen continued to cry.
"Then tell me, what did you do that's more serious than the photo incident last time?" Fatty Lin asked with interest and a hint of amusement.
"It's almost the same as last time!" Zhong Tianzhen said, her voice trembling with tears.
"Whose affair with you has been exposed?" Fatty Lin knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"Ouyang Fuguo!" Zhong Tianzhen hesitantly gave a name.
"Who is this person?" Fatty Lin looked at me, and I shook my head to indicate that I had never heard of him.
"Ni'er, do you know?"
I gently nudged Long Nier beside me and asked in a low voice.
"have no idea!"
Long Nier shook her head.
"He's a Taoist priest from Maoshan!" Zhong Tianzhen said.
"A Taoist priest from Maoshan?" Fatty Lin suddenly raised his voice and asked, "What do you want with a Taoist priest? To change your luck?"
"Fatty, it's not what you think!"
Zhong Tianzhen sensed Lin Pangzi's dissatisfaction and burst into tears again, "I've known him since 00, and I even recognized him as my godfather!"
"Born in 00? Godfather?"
Fatty Lin scoffed and said, "Come on, tell me, what has your godfather done to you?"
"Fatty, can you see me?" Zhong Tian asked, sobbing, without saying a word.
"Okay, I'm at the shop, come on over!" Fatty Lin thought for a moment and agreed to meet.
After hanging up the phone, Fatty Lin muttered, "Ouyang Fuguo, I'll call Sister Lingling and ask if she knows him!"
"Okay!" I nodded.
A moment later, the call connected, and Fatty Lin asked directly, "Sister Lingling, do you know Ouyang Fuguo?"
"What's wrong? Did he offend you?" Liu Lingling asked.
"Sister Lingling, do you mean you know Ouyang Fuguo?" Fatty Lin asked thoughtfully.
"I know him!" Liu Lingling admitted directly.
"Sister Lingling, tell me about this one!" Fatty Lin said.
"Ouyang Fuguo specializes in performing rituals to boost business and to ensure harmony between partners. Because his fees are reasonable, many small-time models and second-tier celebrities in the industry like to hire him, so he's somewhat well-known. Of course, he can't compare to you guys!"
Liu Lingling said with a smile.
"A marriage alliance? What kind of marriage alliance?" Fatty Lin asked.
"He likes to 'bless' those young models!" Liu Lingling said pointedly.
"Sister Lingling, I understand now!" Fatty Lin laughed.
Not only did Fatty Lin understand, but I understood too.
Wang Sanmu also likes to perform "blessing" ceremonies on female celebrities, even on his specially made dragon bed.
The actresses who have sought him out, or rather, those who have taken photos with him, have basically all been blessed by him.
It's likely that this incident caused the conflict between Ouyang Fuguo and Zhong Tianzhen.
"Xiao Lin, did he offend you?" Liu Lingling asked.
"I didn't offend you, I was just asking!" Fatty Lin said.
"Xiao Lin, if he has offended you in any way, I'll arrange a meeting and make him apologize to you!" Liu Lingling said.
"Sister Lingling, from what you're saying, you two have a good relationship?" Fatty Lin said.
"No mistake!"
Liu Lingling sighed and said, "I only said that because he and I are both locals from Hong Kong. I don't want you two to get into any dirty dealings and become a laughingstock for some people in the Xuanmen Association!"
"Sister Lingling, there's really nothing between us!"
After thinking it over for a moment, Fatty Lin told Liu Lingling the whole story.
"That puts my mind at ease. You talk to Zhong Tianzhen first and see what happens between her and Ouyang. If that doesn't work, I'll help you mediate!" Liu Lingling said.
"Sister Lingling, I understand. Don't worry, I'm the kind of person who always treats others with the utmost respect!" Fatty Lin replied with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Fatty Lin looked at me and said, "Thirteen, I didn't expect there to be others doing the same business as us. How come I've never heard of them before?"
"He focuses on the low-end, we focus on the high-end, where did you hear that?" I said.
These actresses from Hong Kong Island may be very famous, but they don't actually earn much.
This applies not only to female stars but also to male stars.
Apart from the top few, the rest don't earn much, far less than those in mainland China.
The reason is simple: there are only a limited number of television stations on Hong Kong Island, and TVB basically dominates the market. TVB is also notorious for its stinginess.
Even TVB's Best Actress and Best Actor awards don't earn high salaries, only tens of thousands of dollars a month. Others earn even less, many only a few thousand dollars a month.
As for making movies, the Hong Kong film market is getting worse year by year, with fewer and fewer film crews starting production and earning less and less.
This is also the main reason why Hong Kong actresses are so determined to marry into wealthy families and seduce rich men—they don't earn much!
Mr. Hong Kong Island started selling himself because of this; otherwise, Long Nier wouldn't have been able to find their posts about selling themselves so easily in the chat room.
If they don't do this, they'll have a hard time surviving.
In recent years, a large number of Hong Kong stars have gone to the mainland, and even if they only play a supporting role, they earn much more than they would in Hong Kong Island.
Because he earns so little, most actresses and models simply can't afford to hire Fatty Lin.
Many actresses and models want to meet Fatty Lin but can't, which is the main reason why Fatty Lin is so smug.
Those who can afford to hire us are either from wealthy families like Maggie Kwok, or married into wealthy families, or like Sister Mary, who are at the top of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
That's why we've never had any conflicts with people like Ouyang Fuguo.
We come from different social circles, so there's no conflict of interest. Without a conflict of interest, there's no real conflict; at most, they're just jealous of us.
Ouyang Fuguo focuses on cultivating relationships with minor celebrities and young models, while we take the upper-class route.
There's a saying that goes something like this: "Among those I converse with are learned scholars, and among those I associate with are no uncultured people."
If you don't have tens of millions in assets, you'd be embarrassed to come to us.
Liu Lingling's situation is similar to ours; she is also developing in the upper-middle class, and her acquaintances are either second-generation rich people like Guo Meiqi or top-level celebrities in the industry.
We didn't have any conflict because Liu Lingling's main business is home feng shui, which we don't practice, so there was no conflict of interest.
If we ever start looking into feng shui for our homes, Liu Lingling will definitely not be as friendly to us as she is now.
Half an hour later, Zhong Tianzhen arrived.
"Fatty, you have to help me!"
As soon as Zhong Tianzhen saw Fatty Lin, she rushed into his arms.
"Get to the point!"
Fatty Lin frowned and pulled Zhong Tianzhen out of his arms.
If it weren't for the Wu Peiwen incident, Fatty Lin would definitely not have this attitude; he would have genuinely cherished her and called her "treasure" long ago.
Zhong Tianzhen sniffed and said, "Fatty, Ouyang Fuguo threatened me. He wants to perform a blessing ceremony on me, and when I refused, he threatened me!"
With just two simple sentences, Zhong Tianzhen explained the reason.
These two sentences sparked a major scandal in Hong Kong at the start of the year: the case of the Taoist priest consecrating a sacred object.
