Chapter 26 The Arrival of Fatty Lin
"I have no money!"
I took a swig of beer and said.
"It's on me!" Mr. Yang said with a smile.
"Give me a break!"
I shook my head and said, "Three million for one night? In our Northeastern dialect, that's way too much! With that kind of money, there are so many better things to do!"
It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted. Most of us born in the 80s grew up watching Hong Kong movies.
When I was in junior and senior high school, more than 90% of the movies shown in video arcades and DVD stores were from Hong Kong.
Therefore, we have a special feeling for the stars of Hong Kong Island.
I remember when I watched "Unstoppable Romance" with my classmates back then, I actually asked them what they were doing. Looking back now, I was so stupid.
I may have feelings for someone, but even if I were asked to spend three million to sleep with them for one night, I still think it's too expensive.
"No regrets?" President Yang asked.
"I won't regret it!" I continued to shake my head.
"If you don't sleep with me this time, you won't have another chance!" President Yang said meaningfully.
"Won't there be another chance?"
I glanced at Li Yuechi on the stage and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I heard that President Qin sold his shares in Heaven on Earth. President Qin is gone, and it's uncertain whether Li Yuechi is still here!" President Yang said with some emotion.
After expressing his feelings, Mr. Yang looked at me and said, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Are you sure you don't want to sleep here?"
"I'm not sleeping!"
I said firmly, "If I didn't know about this, it would be fine, but now that I know, I can't sleep at all!"
The Heaven on Earth nightclub was so popular, yet President Qin sold it. There's clearly something going on here, and it might even be involved in some power struggle at higher levels. Under these circumstances, spending three million to sleep with Li Yuechi would be insane, wouldn't it?
"Even if you don't sleep with her, you won't be shortchanged. Tonight, I'll take you to Kongmei.com to pick out two top-notch girls!" When Yang said this, he pulled me into his arms and started dancing his self-created dance moves while looking down at Li Yuechi.
Needless to say, the night passed quickly, and it was already morning when we returned to the shop.
I washed my face, set my alarm, and went back to my room to catch up on sleep. Fatty Lin is arriving this afternoon, and I need to go pick him up.
At 2 PM, I picked up Fatty Lin at the train station.
I spotted him immediately in the crowd.
This guy was carrying two large rattan trunks in the style of the Republic of China era. With his height of nearly 1.9 meters and weight of over 200 kilograms, he stood out from the crowd.
Unlike traditional fat men, Lin Pangzi is, strictly speaking, strong.
"This...fatty!"
I waved to him, and he grinned, his small eyes narrowing as he strode over.
"Hey bro, I've missed you so much!"
When I got closer, Fatty Lin looked me up and down for a moment, then suddenly kicked me.
"Damn, that's how much you think of me?"
I casually took a box from him.
"Giving you a kick is too lenient. You're living the high life in Beijing, while I'm eating chaff and wild vegetables at home!" Fatty Lin exclaimed dramatically.
"Bullshit, didn't I introduce you to business? You made almost 50,000 from that deal with Bai Xue, right?" I said.
"You still have the nerve to talk about Bai Xue? You've really screwed me over! To save you face, I risked my life for her, and it took me almost a month to recover at home!" Fatty Lin said.
"Hey, you crazy guy, aren't you making a million a year? Why are you driving a Santana?"
As we were talking, we arrived at the parking area. Upon seeing my secondhand Santana, Fatty Lin immediately started mocking me.
"Believe it or not, a Mercedes-Benz will come running the moment I open my mouth!" I said.
"Get lost, stop bragging!"
Fatty Lin snorted and put his luggage in the trunk.
"Give!"
After getting on the bus, Fatty Lin handed over a small seal, which was the Northern Feng Demon-Slaying Seal.
"Is it ready for the blessing?" I asked.
"Bullshit, would I give it to you without blessing it?"
Fatty Lin rolled his eyes, then handed over a talisman wrapped in red cloth, saying, "Wear this for now. I have a piece of lightning-struck wood; I'll carve a protective amulet for you in a couple of days!"
"Um!"
I took the talisman, put it around my neck, and said, "Let's not go out to eat today. I've prepared some mutton at home; let's have some hot pot and chat!"
At this point, I paused, then said, "Once you've rested enough, I'll show you around!"
"Brother my ass, you're younger than me!" Fatty Lin scoffed, automatically ignoring the idea of being worldly-wise.
"I went to Heaven on Earth yesterday!" I said casually.
"Brother, you're my brother!" Fatty Lin's expression immediately changed.
"I'm younger than you, I can't be your older brother!" I said sarcastically.
"The best comes first, you're my brother!" Fatty Lin chuckled.
"Promising!"
I scoffed.
"Brother, don't you know me? I'm a good-for-nothing!" Fatty Lin said with a fawning smile.
We arrived at the shop amidst laughter and conversation.
After getting off the bus, we lit some charcoal and added water. In less than ten minutes, my brother and I were sitting around the copper pot, eating.
After downing a glass of wine, I started telling Fatty Lin about my experiences over the past few days, beginning with Dacheng.
"President Yang is a good person, President Ou and Deng Wenwen are in cahoots, President Li is dead, Li Li is a bit of a pity, and as for President Hua, well, I can't say anything!"
After listening, Fatty Lin summarized it in one sentence.
I know that President Ou and Deng Wenwen are in cahoots, and President Li's judgment that one of them is dead coincides with my own.
"Fatty, tell me, what's the deal with this human-shaped Pixiu? What does Hua Zong want to use her for?" I asked after thinking for a moment.
Fatty Lin took a sip of his drink, hissed, and said, "In ancient times, some powerful families would specifically raise people with special destinies, and the Pixiu destiny was one of them!"
"Those powerful families will keep spending money on people with 'Pixiu' destiny; the more they spend, the richer the returns!"
"That's not the main purpose. They keep people with the destiny of a Pixiu mainly to protect themselves from disasters and change their fate!"
"If Li Li falls into Hua Laosan's hands, she's definitely not going to be alright!"
I frowned and said, "I heard from President Li that President Hua knows he wants to promote Li Li, and he's found a well-known producer in the industry to release a single for Li Li!"
"Not only that, he also wants to send Li Li to film school!"
"President Li said that President Hua wants to make Li Li a big star!"
"Bullshit!" Fatty Lin snorted and said, "You lunatic, let me tell you, although a Pixiu's life is precious and can replenish its owner, no matter how precious its life is or how much luck it has, it will eventually run out!"
"To continuously enjoy the benefits of the Pixiu's blessings, one must constantly replenish the luck of those with the Pixiu destiny!"
How can I improve my luck?
"Of course, it's about absorbing what others have!"
"So where do we smoke it?"
"Li Li is just a young girl. How could she possibly handle dealing with those seasoned veterans in the business world?"
"Letting her go into politics is even more impossible. She'd have to climb the ranks step by step; how long would it take her to finally get a chance to replace Hua Laosan?"
"Even if Hua Laosan uses the Hua family's resources to help Li Li, what if she rises too quickly and then crashes?"
"So, Hua Laosan promoted Li Li to stardom so she could attract good fortune in the entertainment industry!"
"Those who can make it big in the entertainment industry usually have extraordinary destinies!"
