Chapter 634 An Apology To Make My Conscience Feel Better
Chapter 634 An apology to make my conscience feel better [Second update]
This Asian director is none other than Ma Zirong, who betrayed Gao Jin back then.
Back then, the three of them were having a rough time in the imperial capital. In order to change their poor lives, they planned to make a pornographic film together and come to the United States to participate in the Adult Film Awards.
Chen Bingzhong left a sum of money and left early due to family matters. Gao Jin and Ma Zirong continued to engage in pornographic movies. As a result, Ma Zirong betrayed Gao Jin for his own safety, and Gao Jin was arrested by the police station.
Ma Zirong lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, exhaled it and said slowly, "I didn't expect that either."
"I heard from Haozi about what happened back then. He doesn't blame you." Chen Bingzhong said this slowly. The expression on Ma Zirong's face improved a lot. What happened back then has become a knot in Ma Zirong's heart.
.
Back then, although Ma Zirong had a bad temper and was not popular, he had never betrayed anyone. That time, he was blocked by people from the police station and had no choice but to tell Gao Jin's name.
"I'm sorry for him, and I will repay him if I have the chance. However, the status difference between me and Haozi is too big now, and I have no chance to repay him."
Ma Zirong knew Gao Jin's identity and never imagined that Gao Jin would reach this point.
"Old Chen, I won't tell you anymore for the time being. I can't leave the crew. Wherever you live, I'll find you at night." Ma Zirong turned to look at Chen Bingzhong and said.
"I live in Room 1906 of the Marriott Hotel" Chen Bingzhong said his address.
"Okay, I'll go find you after work is over in the evening." Ma Zirong said, taking a deep breath of cigarette and spitting it out. Then he threw away the cigarette butt, stamped it with his foot, nodded to Chen Bingzhong and turned around to leave.
Looking at Ma Zirong's back, Chen Bingzhong could see that Ma Zirong was not doing well, and Chen Bingzhong didn't have an idea in his heart about how to treat Lao Ma.
After standing still for a while, Chen Bingzhong turned around and left, returned to the parking place, and drove back to the hotel.
I went back to the room and made a cup of tea. I looked at the time. It should be around ten o'clock in the evening. After thinking for a while, I took out my phone and dialed Gao Jin's number.
"Master Chen, why are you calling me at this time?" Gao Jin's voice came out, and Chen Bingzhong laughed when he heard Gao Jin's voice.
At that time, Gao Jin loaned himself money to join the board of directors of the new social software. After one year of operation, Chen Bingzhong completely withdrew. The company had lost its aggressiveness and seeking personal gain had become the focus.
Chen Bingzhong didn't give it in vain. After some back and forth operations, he sold his shares and earned more than 200 million pounds. After paying off Gao Jin's debt, he still had more than 100 million pounds left.
Chen Bingzhong was not interested in his family's manufacturing business, so he simply became an angel investor. Over the past few years, he has won and lost. Generally speaking, his personal wealth has doubled.
He is now a real billionaire. Not to mention his shares, he holds no less than 200 million euros in cash.
"Let me tell you something serious"
"I was wandering around the suburbs of Los Angeles today when I had nothing to do. I met Ma Zirong. He should be a director on a certain crew. It seems that he is doing well."
"I said hello to him and planned to chat in the evening."
Chen Bingzhong told the truth truthfully. Gao Jin on the other end of the phone was silent. The image of Ma Zirong was no longer in his mind. This time, Ma Zirong emerged again.
"It's okay to chat. If possible, help him. After all, we all followed him back then."
"I also looked past that matter. There were a few people who refused to tell the truth when they arrived at the police station. I understand his difficulties. He really couldn't afford to go to jail in that environment."
"I ran away from home. If I hadn't met Lao Ma, I would have had to go home and admit my mistakes to him within a few days. It was with Lao Ma's help that led me into the industry that I experienced the difficulties of life."
"Look into his current situation. If you need funds, let me know and I will call you."
Gao Jin has looked past the matter and knows that Ma Zirong had no choice back then. It has been such a long time and it is difficult to clear up the grudge against Ma Zirong. There is no point in holding grudges anymore.
The two of them are no longer in the same world, so it would be better to be more generous.
"Okay, as long as you say this, let me take a look. If I can help, just help."
"After all, when I was in trouble, I followed Lao Ma for food."
After Chen Bingzhong said these words, a smile appeared on his face involuntarily. Although he was miserable back then, the memory of working hard together with Gao Jin and Ma Zirong was unforgettable.
Gao Jin stopped talking to Chen Bingzhong and smiled. He talked to Chen Bingzhong about the past and recalled the past. After chatting for a while, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Jin sat on a chair and looked at the ceiling. Liu Wen's appearance appeared in his mind involuntarily. Soon, Gao Jin shook his head and Liu Wen's appearance disappeared.
Now, Gao Jin has a child, and Liu Wen is married and has a family. The days of young and passionate life have passed, and it is impossible to come back.
In Los Angeles, at around eight o'clock in the evening, Ma Zirong arrived at the Marriott Hotel and stood outside the hotel for a while without going in.
In a five-star hotel, you need to work for two weeks without eating or drinking to earn the cost of one night's stay. Could it be said that Chen Bingzhong has also made a fortune at this moment.
Ma Zirong was a little hesitant in his heart. He missed Gao Jin, who is now the richest man in the world, in a single thought. Could it be that what he missed was not only Gao Jin, but also another wealthy brother.
Time passed little by little, and there were already three cigarette butts on the ground. Ma Zirong then packed up his clothes and walked towards the hotel.
Entering the elevator, he went straight to room 1906 on the 19th floor. When he stepped out of the elevator, he saw the bar. He walked to the bar and said a few words to the staff. The bar called Chen Bingzhong and then gave Ma Zirong the direction.
Before Ma Zirong could reach the door of the room, Chen Bingzhong opened the door. Seeing Ma Zirong with a smile on his face, he shook hands with Ma Zirong and invited Ma Zirong to enter the room.
After making tea, the two chatted while drinking tea. Chen Bingzhong first told about his past, and then Ma Zirong began to talk about his past.
Back then, Gao Jin gave Ma Zirong 50,000 yuan to end his relationship with Ma Zirong. Ma Zirong was very depressed and stayed in the rental house for a month.
I go to bed when I'm full every day and eat when I wake up. I can't get over the hurdle in my conscience, and my whole person seems confused.
After another half month, I checked out and returned to my hometown. It was okay at first when I arrived at my hometown, but later, Ma Zirong couldn't stand it anymore.
When Ma Zirong was admitted to the university in the imperial capital, he was the glory of the whole village. Now that he has returned with nothing to achieve, he cannot avoid being poked at.
After some time, Ma Zirong became cruel, said hello to his parents, left his hometown with his suitcase, and returned to the imperial capital.
I started to sign up to learn English while working part-time jobs, and made plans to go abroad.
I changed my temper and apologized to many people. I also got some opportunities to make some money. I also have a good command of English and took the TOEFL test.
After some preparation, I got my visa and went to Los Angeles, USA. I rented a cheap room and started looking for opportunities.
Because he is a gangster, other people charge ten dollars an hour, but Ma Zirong only has eight or seven dollars. It doesn't matter if he has less money, he works three odd jobs a day.
Stay calm first and then talk.
After working like this for more than half a year, I got to know a lot more people. Because of Ma Zirong's professional knowledge, he was favored by the boss of a 3A company.
The two reached an agreement that as long as Ma Zirong worked for him for two months without salary, they would help him apply for a green card and give Ma Zirong a normal salary after two months.
Once the company boss helped to apply for a green card, Ma Zirong had to work for the company for three years at half price, and Ma Zirong agreed.
As a result, things went very smoothly, and even Mark, the owner of 3A company, felt it was unbelievable.
To apply for a green card, you need to invest US$500,000. Mark has his own channels, which is nothing more than changing the legal person of the company. Unexpectedly, it went surprisingly smoothly.
Marco didn't know that Los Angeles had just introduced a policy to attract investment immigrants and maintain employment, which happened to catch up with this investor trend.
Seven months later, Ma Zirong's legal green card was issued. Next, Ma Zirong signed a three-year contract with his boss Mark to work at half price.
Mark was also very interesting. After Ma Zirong worked for two years and created considerable economic benefits for him, he came into contact with this agreement and gave Ma Zirong a normal agreement. The top leader gave Ma Zirong a bonus of US$50,000.
With normal salary and bonus, Ma Zirong stayed and worked with Mark in a down-to-earth manner. Over the past few years, he has become a veteran of Mark's company.
Have enough voice within the company.
It is precisely because of this that Ma Zirong dared to yell at everyone on the set.
Of course, Ma Zirong also changed his temper. After every filming, he would apologize to some people in private for cursing people on the set.
This attitude has been forgiven by many people. After all, Ma Zirong treats the situation rather than the person, and the relationship is still maintained well.
"Lao Ma, what's the next big thing, do you plan to continue working in this company?" Chen Bingzhong asked, if Ma Zirong plans to go it alone, investing a sum is nothing.
"Old Chen, it's not that easy to work alone in Hollywood."
"I had this idea before, but it wasn't until last month that a film company invested by H-Americans was investigated and punished, and I realized that it would be impossible for me, an outsider, to set up a film company here."
"I don't have good connections. The xenophobia here is very strong, and all kinds of connections are very complicated."
"I don't have the capital to go it alone. Even if money is not an issue, my connections can't support me going it alone."
"The best way is to invest in a film yourself, and then get several local companies to invest in it together. In this way, you can earn a little more than working part-time."
“There is basically no hope of making big money.”
Ma Zirong said this reluctantly, and Chen Bingzhong smiled and nodded to express his understanding. Xenophobia is a situation that exists everywhere in the world, and there are many people who are worse than Ma Zirong.
He picked up the tea cup and started drinking tea. At this time, Ma Zirong opened his bag and took out a stack of money and put it on the table. It looked like ten thousand US dollars.
"Bingzhong, I'm too embarrassed to see Haozi."
"My ability to reach this point is inseparable from the 50,000 yuan Haozi gave me back then. I also know that Haozi's current net worth does not value this amount of money."
"You transfer this money to Haozi and tell him I'm sorry for me!"
Ma Zirong looked at Chen Bingzhong very sincerely. What happened back then has really become a knot in Ma Zirong's heart, although this small amount of money is nothing to Gao Jin.
But this is Ma Zirong's apology, an apology that makes his conscience feel better.
