Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 495 The Money-Saving Plan

"Who is the other one?"

Having talked about Chen Xiaoxiao, I'm more curious about who Guo Meiqi's other best friend is.

"Mai Fengming!"

Mentioning this person, Fatty Lin winked at me and said sarcastically, "Crazy girl, we've seen plenty of her movies!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't see it!" I immediately denied it.

"You lunatic, say again that you didn't see it?"

"I'm threatening you," Fatty Lin said.

"Fatty, what movie?" Long Nier sensed something was wrong and asked in a cold voice.

"Ni'er, what do you think?"

Instead of answering directly, Fatty Lin asked a question in return.

In that case, you might as well just answer directly!

Realizing something was amiss, I confessed directly: "Ni'er, I was young back then, and I was curious about some things. It's normal to watch some pirated movies from Hong Kong. Besides, I was just watching movies, I didn't do anything else!"

"Just watching a movie?" Long Nier looked at me suspiciously.

"Ni'er, I didn't have any money back then. What could I do besides go to the video store to watch a movie for one dollar? I couldn't exactly go all the way to Hong Kong Island to find Mak Fung-ming, could I?" I said.

"You lunatic, I remember the movie Mak Fung-ming starred in was called 'No Regrets in the Eyes,' right? They even made a sequel. In between, I think she also made a similar film, didn't she?"

Before Long Nier could say she forgave me, Fatty Lin continued to escalate the situation.

I realized he was retaliating against me for ignoring him.

"Yes, we watched it together!" I gave up struggling and resigned myself to the fact that it was just watching a movie and we didn't do anything else.

"Hey, look, the madman has admitted it!" Fatty Lin's eyes lit up, and he pointed at me and laughed.

"Brother, let's not watch it anymore. If you really can't resist..."

Long Nier tugged at my hand, and blushed at the end of her sentence.

"Grass!"

Lin Pangzi was completely surprised by Long Nier's reaction. He was a little frustrated and even swore.

"You miscalculated, didn't you?"

I smiled smugly, gripped Long Nier's hand tightly, and said, "Go on, let me see what's going on with Mai Fengming!"

"She's fine. She married a lawyer and had a baby a couple of years ago, but it seems she's suffering from postpartum depression. Sister Meiqi said she'd like you to give her acupuncture to help her relieve the symptoms when we meet tomorrow!"

Seeing that his trick had failed, Fatty Lin listlessly threw himself onto the sofa.

"So, you can only flirt with Chen Xiaoxiao tomorrow, right?" I asked with a smile.

"What about Sister Meiqi?"

Fatty Lin shamelessly shook his head and said, "I'll treat Sister Meiqi and Miss Meiqi's bodies and let them experience my Taoist magic seals. You and Ni'er will give Mai Fengming acupuncture!"

"Fine, I'll do acupuncture!" I was utterly speechless at Lin Pangzi's shamelessness.

He's just trying to make me jealous. If I show even the slightest hint of envy, he'll tell Ni'er on it.

"Oh, by the way, Sister Meiqi told me a little about the Miss Hong Kong pageant back then!" Fatty Lin added.

"What is it?" I asked.

Fatty Lin sat up and said, "Back then, Mai Fengming could have been in the top three, or even competed for the championship. But because some of her childhood photos were exposed, and because of someone else, she unfortunately only got sixth place. And because of those photos, she was later portrayed as a porn star and made those three movies that we've all seen!"

"Some photos from when you were young?"

It was Long Nier who asked that question, and I didn't say anything.

Fatty Lin is just waiting for me to make a mistake. If I show any curiosity now, I'm in big trouble.

Sure enough, when he saw that it was Long Nier who asked, a look of disappointment flashed across Fatty Lin's face, and he gave him a look that said, "You're lucky, kid."

The moment I saw that look in his eyes, I knew I was right not to ask. That fat Lin is full of bad ideas.

"Yes, when she was fifteen, at her boyfriend's urging, she took some photos. After she became famous in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, her rivals didn't want her to be the champion, so they bought the photos from her boyfriend and published them in the newspaper!" Fatty Lin said respectfully.

"With that stain, he definitely can't be the champion!" Long Nier expressed her understanding, then asked, "Fatty, who are you talking about?"

"Big Brother Long!" Fatty Lin said.

"Him?" I thought I had misheard.

"That's right, it's him!" Fatty Lin nodded.

"What did he do? Did he take a fancy to Mai Fengming, and Mai Fengming didn't reciprocate?" I asked.

"no!"

Fatty Lin shook his head and said, "Big Brother Long was a judge back then. He said he liked intellectual women and strongly recommended the one with a higher education, which helped that person win the championship!"

At this point, Fatty Lin chuckled, as if remembering something, and said, "So, that one was known as the ugliest Miss Hong Kong!"

"The ugliest Miss Hong Kong winner?"

I was a little skeptical, so I looked it up online, and Long Ni'er came over to watch me look.

"It's not exactly the ugliest, is it?"

"After seeing the photo, Long Nier said."

The Miss Hong Kong pageant is getting worse every year. Of course, she's not the ugliest now, but it was different a decade or so ago. Back then, the Miss Hong Kong pageant was full of beauties.

Among those beauties, she really doesn't stand out much.

"Big Brother Long is pushing this, isn't there something fishy going on?" I muttered to myself.

"Madman, what do you think of Brother Long's character?" Fatty Lin asked.

I remained silent; silence was the best answer.

"Crazy, Nier, don't be surprised that Big Brother Long chose an ugly one. I guess he's seen too many beautiful women and wanted to change things up. He wanted someone highly educated and intellectual, and this one fits the bill perfectly, so..."

At this point, Fatty Lin didn't continue, but winked, and we all understood what he meant.

"If we can take good care of the three of them tomorrow, we definitely won't lack work afterwards!"

After resting for a moment, Fatty Lin leaned back on the sofa and sighed, "Money really doesn't last long!"

"yes!"

I nodded.

We don't lack money, but we need to save money, and we need to save a lot of money.

Regarding Wu Peiwen's case, he donated thirty Hope Primary Schools, and Gambling King Lu donated another twenty.

But they only provided the money to build it, and once it was finished, they didn't care about it anymore.

There are still many issues to be resolved, such as meals, stationery like pens and notebooks, and the teacher's issues.

These primary schools are mostly built in remote areas where local governments face financial difficulties and cannot solve many problems, relying instead on donations.

Therefore, we are still under a lot of pressure.

The key issue is that things are different now than before; many wealthy women are afraid to come to our store.

Lin Pangzi's nickname "Fat Motor" is really awful.

The Xuanmen Association must have played a role in this.

They don't dare to openly target us, nor do they dare to use underhanded tactics to secretly cut off our source of income; they still have the guts.

Therefore, nowadays, anyone who needs health care is served by Fatty Lin. Only someone like Guo Meiqi, who doesn't care about her reputation or can make decisions, dares to come to our shop.
