"Thank you." Kang Jianfei handed the fare to the driver and pulled Guan Zhilin out of the car.
Guan Zhilin's mother and brother live in an old apartment building in Los Angeles. The elevator fence upstairs is a little rusty. Obviously, the environment here is not very good.
Guan Zhilin touched the fence and said with some heartache: "When I make a lot of money in the future, I will buy my mother a big house in the United States."
Although Guan Zhilin in another time and space worshiped money, she was definitely filial. After her debut, she basically took care of her parents, and also helped her younger brother get married and start a business.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said: "Why should I buy a house for my aunt in the United States? Wouldn't it be better to take her back to Hong Kong?"
Guan Zhilin said distressedly: "My mother hates my father very much. As long as my father is still in Hong Kong, she will never go back."
Kang Jianfei said: "I think you can persuade them more to get them back together."
"It's useless," after stepping into the elevator, Guan Zhilin stretched out her arms and hung Kang Jianfei's neck and asked, "Brother Fei, will you look for other women like my dad did in the future?"
Kang Jianfei asked, "If I had another woman, Jiahui, what would you do?"
"How dare you!" Guan Zhilin, who had always been very submissive in front of Kang Jianfei, reacted greatly when she heard this. "If you dare to find other women, I will... I will ignore you."
Kang Jianfei hugged her and smiled: "I love you so much and I don't want you to leave. What should I do? If you ignore me, I will chase you back to the end of the world."
Guan Zhilin leaned on Kang Jianfei's shoulder and said, "If you loved me, you wouldn't find other women."
The elevator stopped soon. Kang Jianfei pulled Guan Zhilin and counted the number plates all the way to find it.
"Nanny!" Zhang Bingqian, Guan Zhilin's mother, opened the door and was so surprised to see Guan Zhilin that she hugged her daughter.
The mother and daughter hugged for a while. Only then did Zhang Bingqian notice Kang Jianfei's presence and asked, "Who is this gentleman?"
Guan Zhilin let go of her mother, took Kang Jianfei's hand and said happily: "Mom, this is my boyfriend Kang Jianfei, he is uncle Wu Chenggang's nephew."
Zhang Bingqian also worked in the film company that Guan Shan founded back then, so she was relatively familiar with Wu Chenggang. Perhaps because Wu Chenggang was a good old man, Zhang Bingqian had a better first impression of Kang Jianfei, so she quickly let him go and said: "Quickly
Come inside and talk."
Zhang Bingqian is a veteran actor from Shaw Brothers. She was also a quasi-A-list actress back then, but now she is in her early 40s. She is very well-maintained, and at first glance she looks like she is in her 30s, and she has the charm of a mature lady.
Guan Zhilin and Kang Jianfei entered the house holding hands and asked: "Mom, where is my brother?"
Zhang Bingqian said: "He is studying and will get out of school later."
Kang Jianfei put the gift on the cabinet and said, "Aunt, cousin, and aunt asked me to say hello to you on their behalf."
"They are all from our own family, and they brought so many things," Zhang Bingqian took the gifts aside with a smile and asked, "Are your cousins and others in good health?"
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "Everyone is doing well. Thank you for your concern, Auntie."
Zhang Bingqian smiled and scolded her daughter: "This silly girl didn't tell me in advance when she came to the United States so that I could pick you up at the airport."
Guan Zhilin sat down next to Kang Jianfei. She leaned into her sweetheart's arms and said, "I want to give you a surprise."
Ever since Kang Jianfei entered the room, Zhang Bingqian had been observing him carefully. She felt that this young man was handsome and polite, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became. She inquired further: "A Fei, what are you doing now?"
Kang Jianfei said modestly: "Working in a film company."
Zhang Bingqian saw that Kang Jianfei looked good and asked: "Are you going to be an actor, or will you be a lighting artist with your cousin?"
Before Kang Jianfei could answer, Guan Zhilin said in a proud tone: "Mom, you don't know, Brother Fei has only been in Hong Kong from the mainland for more than a year..."
"You came from the mainland?" Zhang Bingqian's expression changed a little before her daughter finished speaking.
Guan Zhilin heard that her mother disliked Kang Jianfei's mainland status, and argued: "What's wrong with coming from the mainland? You and my dad are not from the mainland."
"I didn't mean that, Fei, don't take it to heart, it was my aunt who said the wrong thing." Zhang Bingqian explained and apologized repeatedly. It was not that she disliked her mainland identity, but that most of the people who came to Hong Kong from the mainland in recent years
Since she couldn't find a good job, she was worried that her daughter would suffer hardship if she followed Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie, don't worry about it."
Zhang Bingqian didn't want to inquire about Kang Jianfei's details anymore, so she had to change the subject and said, "Nanny, are you and A Fei coming to the United States this time?"
Guan Zhilin said: "I came here to have fun, but Brother Fei came to the United States to do business."
Zhang Bingqian no longer regards Kang Jianfei as an ordinary mainlander. There are not many Hong Kong people who can come to the United States to do business these days. They are all somewhat capable people. She asked: "What are you doing in the United States? Do you need help from my aunt?"
Wherever you go, just ask."
Kang Jianfei said: "I appreciate your aunt's kindness. I came to the United States this time to promote my record."
Zhang Bingqian said in surprise: "A Fei, didn't you say you work in a film company? Why did you come to the United States to do film promotion again?"
Guan Zhilin smiled and said: "Mom, you don't know what Fei Ge is capable of. He composed an album himself, which was spotted by Columbia Records and will be distributed around the world. This time he came to the United States specifically to
I’m here to promote the record, and Fei Ge performed at the Los Angeles Music Center yesterday.”
"Los Angeles Music Center, that's not a place that ordinary people can go." Zhang Bingqian is getting more and more confused now. Her daughter's boyfriend is from mainland China and obviously works in a film company. How come he is making records again and can still go there?
Performed at the Los Angeles Music Center.
Zhang Bingqian suppressed her doubts and chatted with Guan Zhilin, asking about the current situation in Hong Kong from time to time.
While they were cooking, Zhang Bingqian asked in the kitchen: "Nanny, what's going on with Ah Fei? What does he do?"
"Mom, Brother Fei is so awesome. He came from Bao'an by sea. When he came to Hong Kong, he was penniless. It only took him two months to become famous by writing novels. Later, he used the advance payment to
All the royalties of 100,000 yuan were used to make movies, and later his movie broke the Hong Kong box office record, with a total of more than 13 million yuan." Guan Zhilin said in a showy tone, the more powerful her boyfriend is, the more it shows that she has vision and charm.
Zhang Bingqian used to be involved in the film industry. Although she has been away from Hong Kong for more than five years, she doesn't know what the current situation of Hong Kong movies is. But she heard Guan Zhilin's words "breaking Hong Kong box office records" clearly.
The first movie broke the box office record, which is enough to show how powerful Kang Jianfei is.
Zhang Bingqian was also very happy that her daughter's boyfriend was promising, and asked: "So Ah Fei is now a big director, right? Which company does he work for? Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest?"
The smug smile on Guan Zhilin's face has not changed. Now she smiles so much that her eyes turn into small crescents. She said: "Brother Fei didn't go to any company, he opened a company of his own."
Zhang Bingqian was a little surprised, and then advised: "It is very difficult to open a film company. Your father's company went bankrupt in two or three years. You are still young now, so you should work in a big company for a few more years."
, get to know more people, learn more things, and it’s not too late to start a company after you turn 30.”
Guan Zhilin smiled and said: "Mom, you are too worried. Fei Ge's company made five movies last year. Except for "Three Minutes Hero", which he participated in the screenplay and made a small profit, the other four movies were all hits. It only took more than a year.
By that time, Brother Fei had a net worth of tens of millions."
Zhang Bingqian seemed to be hearing a fairy tale. A mainlander who traveled from overseas earned tens of millions by making movies in more than a year. This is even more outrageous than the stories in movies and novels.
"Nanny, isn't it A Fei who tricked you?" Zhang Bingqian was afraid that her daughter would be deceived.
Guan Zhilin said: "Do you still need to coax me? Fei Ge's story has been badly written in Hong Kong newspapers."
Zhang Bingqian was no longer in the mood to cook, and kept asking about Kang Jianfei. The more she listened, the more surprised she became. Finally, she whispered to her daughter: "Nanny, A Fei is so good, you have to be more careful. Men don't care.
Shut up, if you are not careful, you will go out to eat. Especially for a capable man like A Fei, even if he doesn't mess with women, women will come to him, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Guan Zhilin smiled and said: "Mom, Brother Fei is not that kind of person. He loves me very much."
"Silly girl," Zhang Bingqian imparted her life experience, "didn't your dad say he loved me back then? What happened? Those vixens are so slutty that no man can resist them. I want to keep your dad's heart.
, I gave him a son when he was over 30 years old. I thought he would change his mind after staying with the Guan family. But what about him? That flirtatious fox outside sticks out his hoof and still doesn’t come home at night.”
Guan Zhilin was very worried when her mother said that her brother Fei was a hundred times better than her father Guan Shan. From now on, if vixens come in groups one after another, something will happen sooner or later.
Zhang Bingqian said: "You can't just get used to this man. You must obey him in big things, and give him face everywhere outside. But when you get home, you have to act coquettishly and lose your temper, so that he doesn't
You will be ignored."
Guan Zhilin asked: "What if he is seduced by another woman?"
Professor Zhang Bingqian said: "At this time, you can cry and fuss, but you can't make too much noise, otherwise it will arouse his resentment. Don't say anything about breaking up in front of him. Once both of them say they want to break up, it will be very difficult.
It may be irreversible."
Guan Zhilin said: "You and my father separated like this?"
"Huh, why are you mentioning him?" Zhang Bingqian said, "If A Fei really has a woman outside, you have to prove that you are the best and let him see the ugly sides of other women. At this time, you can use
