Weng Meiling came back with several bags of snacks, meat and vegetables, and banged the doorbell with her forehead several times before Wang Zuxian ran out and opened the door.
Both of them are now living in an apartment arranged by Oriental Entertainment Company for artists - the entire apartment is Kang Jianfei's private property and is specially used to rent to artists and employees of its companies.
Since it is rented, of course you need to pay rent every month. But compared to this kind of high-end apartment, the monthly rent of 800 yuan is very cheap. Even if there are more people living together, each person will pay 300 yuan per month.
It all works.
As an actress that Kang Jianfei took care of, Wang Zuxian originally lived in a single apartment. However, after returning to Taiwan to film a few months, the house she lived in was already occupied by other artists from the company, and she was arranged to share it with Weng Meiling.
The first thing Wang Zuxian did after opening the door was to take the big bag of snacks from Weng Meiling, take out a bag of potato chips and eat it, saying: "The rice is already cooking, it will be ready in twenty minutes. Who is cooking today?"
?”
"I'll do it." Weng Meiling carried the vegetables she bought into the kitchen, while Wang Zuxian was sitting in the living room watching TV and eating snacks.
The two girls couldn't eat much, so Weng Meiling cooked two dishes and served them to the table, only to find that Wang Zuxian was watching the semi-finals of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant with great interest.
"Let's eat, what's so exciting about a beauty contest?" Weng Meiling said with a bit of annoyance. She was once a Miss Hong Kong beauty contestant, but unfortunately she only got eighth place in the finals.
When Kang Jianfei and Zhao Yazhi invited her in person, Weng Meiling was extremely happy, thinking that her future stardom would be smooth sailing. But after Weng Meiling completed her duties as a Hong Kong sister, several months had passed, and both Kang Jianfei and Zhao Yazhi considered
She forgot all about it.
Fortunately, Weng Meiling's image and acting skills are pretty good. After her contract was transferred to Oriental Entertainment Company, she gradually began to play important supporting roles in some TV series and movies. Although Weng Meiling has never been popular, she can still earn 60,000 to 70,000 yuan a year.
The salary is equivalent to the salary of white-collar women in Hong Kong.
Kang Jianfei actually forgot about Weng Meiling, otherwise he would definitely take care of her a little bit.
In another time and space, Weng Meiling became famous as Huang Rong in 1983. In 1985, her career and love suffered setbacks, and she turned on the gas and committed suicide.
Nowadays, Weng Meiling is not famous, and the possibility of committing suicide is very small. I don't know whether to call her lucky or unlucky.
"It's very interesting. There is no such TV beauty contest in Taiwan." Wang Zuxian helped Weng Meiling serve the rice, but his eyes kept staring at the TV. Taiwan is now in a state of "martial law", and its social ideology is not much more conservative than that of mainland China.
Ordinary people have never seen anything as fashionable as a beauty pageant.
On TV, the semi-finals of the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant have begun, and the participating beauties are appearing one by one in colorful fashions. As for the customized uniforms for nurses, sailors, and stewardesses, they will not be worn until the finals to refresh the audience.
a feeling of.
By the time Weng Meiling sat down at the dinner table, the two emcees of the competition on the TV had already begun to warm up the conversation. Seeing the glamorous beauties on the TV, Weng Meiling thought of her current situation of not being able to get up or down, and felt quite uncomfortable. She said: "
Let’s watch programs on Phoenix TV, otherwise if the superiors find out that we are watching TVB, we will definitely get scolded again.”
"Phoenix Channel is also a beauty pageant show." Wang Zuxian picked up the remote control and changed the channel. The reason she chose to watch TVB was actually because she had admired the name "Miss Hong Kong" for a long time and wanted to see how the famous Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant was selected.
When Wang Zuxian changed the channel to Phoenix Chinese Channel, it turned out that the semi-finals of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant were also being broadcast.
Weng Meiling muttered: "It's only June, how come the beauty pageant has already started?"
Beauty pageants in Hong Kong are usually held in July, with a two-week gap between the semi-finals and the finals. However, there are sometimes exceptions. It can be held half a month earlier and half a month later, so it can be moved to June or August.
The month has passed.
In order to get a head start this time, Phoenix Channel chose to hold the semi-finals in mid-June. It was clear that they wanted to hold it in advance to steal the limelight of the Miss Hong Kong contest. Of course, TVB would not show weakness. They quickly pushed forward the time of the semi-finals.
, was chosen to be held on the same day as the semi-finals of the Miss Oriental beauty pageant.
Weng Meiling and Wang Zuxian, while eating and watching TV, commented on the beauty contestants from a female perspective from time to time, but many times their comments were sour.
As soon as Qiu Huixin's cheongsam outfit appeared, her mature, charming and dignified and gentle posture immediately stunned the audience. Even Wang Zuxian in front of the TV couldn't help but feel envious and said: "I wish I could still be as beautiful as her at the age of 38.
Already."
Weng Meiling's spirit of gossip was also aroused at this time, and she asked: "Xiao Xian, who do you think will win the Miss Oriental beauty pageant this time?"
Wang Zuxian thought for a while and said: "Qiu Huixin, that one has the highest voice for winning the championship."
Weng Meiling shook her head and said: "That's not necessarily true. In the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant in previous years, those who were favored before the finals basically couldn't win the championship."
"Why?" Wang Zuxian asked puzzledly.
"I don't know. Anyway, the results of the beauty pageant must be surprising. Maybe the TV station is trying to earn ratings." Weng Meiling speculated.
Time passed little by little, and the beauty pageant semi-finals on TV had reached the question and answer session.
No. 1 Mo Wenwen's answer was quite satisfactory. When it was Qiu Huixin's turn, all five judges were very interested in her.
After Qiu Huixin answered the scheduled questions, Pan Desheng asked impromptuly: "Ms. Qiu, you said you came to participate in the beauty pageant to make money to support your family. So if you are now well-fed, would you still come to this pageant?"
A competition?”
Qiu Huixin replied very firmly: "No."
Kong Yubiao, a famous female writer and former program manager of Jiashi, asked: "If you participated in a beauty pageant, you would definitely win the championship and become a popular star. Would you still make the same choice as before?"
"Yes." Qiu Huixin nodded.
"Why?" Kong Yubiao asked.
Qiu Huixin smiled and said: "Being a beauty champion and becoming a star are not the life I really want. I just hope to live a normal life and enjoy the fun of life every day. But the reality is always unsatisfactory, no matter what
Whether you like it or not, you are forced to choose a certain way of survival."
Zhang Dezhi, the vice president of Meirui Advertising Company, took the lead in applauding. He extended his thumb to Qiu Huixin and said, "Miss Qiu, your answer is great!"
Two girls, Wang Zuxian and Weng Meiling, are still young and full of fantasies about the future. They don't understand Qiu Hui's willingness to be ordinary.
In the guest room, Ye Xueyan came to Kang Jianfei and whispered: "This woman is good, it seems she can definitely win the championship."
Kang Jianfei despised Ye Xueyan in his heart. This Mr. Ye's eyes were shining when he saw Qiu Huixin on the stage. Su Yuanyuan next to him was already jealous and sulking.
"The 28th is not bad, she is a lesbian from mainland China." Kang Jianfei pointed at Lizhi at the edge of the stage and said.
Su Yuanyuan vaguely heard the conversation between her husband and Kang Jianfei, and said sourly: "That's how you men are, you won't blink when you see a beautiful woman."
Ye Xueyan quickly swore: "Yuanyuan, besides you, I have never had any other woman."
"You know it very well." Su Yuanyuan was too lazy to argue with him. She found condoms in Ye Xueyan's pocket last time, and even after quarreling several times, it had no effect at all.
Capitalist society easily corrodes people’s thoughts and will!
But in fact, this has nothing to do with doctrine, the key is whether the man has money or power.
For example, during the severe crackdown last year, the third son only held a dance party at home, so he naturally came to Hong Kong unharmed. But the grandson of another boss was shot to death during the severe crackdown.
Why was he shot? Because that man was so handsome that he became the president of a certain bank at a young age, attracting many beauties to fall in love with him - those who were truly in love, those who were looking for work, and those who wanted money.
The prince also accepted all comers and slept with more than 30 well-known women, but ended up sleeping with them but not doing anything.
Naturally, those "**" women were not happy. They petitioned and reported in various ways, and the social impact was extremely bad. As a result, they happened to be severely punished in 83. After asking for instructions from the top leaders, they came up with the statement "Princes who break the law are guilty of the same crimes as the people."
The reason why Ye Xueyan came to Hong Kong to do business was not only because he didn't like politics and pursue freedom, but also because he was frightened to death by the severe beating. The prince who was shot was not from a worse background than him, Third Young Master Ye.
"Miss Li, please draw a question!" the emcee said with a smile.
Lizhi breathed out softly and took out an envelope from the transparent box.
After opening it, the emcee asked: "Ms. Li, which celebrity do you think is closest to your personality?"
Lizhi thought for a while and said: "I think, Liu Bei and I have similar personalities."
"How could it be Liu Bei? Is it because of his benevolence, righteousness and morality? But now many people say he is a hypocrite." the host asked in surprise.
Not only the emcee was surprised, but other people at the scene were also surprised by Lizhi's answer. Because when answering this kind of question, they usually say that they look like a certain foreign celebrity, or a big star, etc. No one really said that they look like
of the ancients.
Originally, Kang Jianfei was planning to let Lizhi cheat throughout the whole process, but this pretty girl had to rely on her own ability to advance, so she didn't know about the semi-final issues in advance.
"Because of Liu Bei's perseverance and perseverance," Li Zhi said calmly, "Liu Bei was the one who lost the most battles among the leaders of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, but he picked himself up again and again, and finally divided the world with the arrogant Cao Cao. I
I have suffered a lot of setbacks before. After I came to Hong Kong, I suffered all kinds of looks and discrimination because of my relationship with mainland girls. But I will not give up. I will cheer up and use success to pay back those who looked down on me."
Zhao Yazhi asked: "Do you think you have succeeded now?"
Lizhi replied: "Being able to stand on this stage is a success for me a year ago. I believe that with my own efforts, I will be more successful in the future."
Kang Jianfei couldn't help laughing and applauded enthusiastically with the others. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users
