Tsuen Wan was called Shallow Bay in ancient times, so named because of the shallow water in the bay.
This place was still a village a few decades ago. After the founding of New China, a large number of mainlanders flocked here and gradually developed into a small town.
In the early 1980s, the population of Tsuen Wan was increasing, and the Hong Kong government decided to include it in the new town development plan. The development has been very rapid in the past few years.
When Weng Hong's family first came to Hong Kong, they lived here. Life was very difficult at that time, and the family was squeezed into a rental house of only 30 square meters.
Later, Weng Hong also made a lot of money as a star, so she bought a suite in a newly built building in Tsuen Wan for her parents to live in. She usually lived at Tseung Kwan O Studios.
Today is her father's birthday. Weng Hong took a day off from Kang Jianfei's place, bought large and small packages of gifts, and drove home to visit her parents.
She drives a red Toyota Crown, a new model from three years ago. The formalities cost hundreds of thousands. It is considered a mid-range good car. It is a work car assigned to her by the company.
As she drove into the garage of the community, the doorman gave her a strange look and greeted her, "Hello, Miss Weng."
"Hello." Weng Hong nodded. She always felt that the guard's eyes were weird.
After Weng Hong parked the car, she went to the elevator door on the first floor to wait. Soon, two more people stood next to her.
"Hey, is this Weng Hong?" one of them whispered.
Another person said: "It's her. I've seen her several times in the community."
"I never thought that such a beautiful woman would be a mistress for others."
"I only want to be a mistress if I'm beautiful. No one will look at me if I'm ugly."
"That's true. It's a pity that I don't have money, otherwise I would raise one outside."
"Can you afford it? Do you think you are Kang Jianfei?"
"..."
Weng Hong could faintly hear their conversation, and she was irritated, but she couldn't let it happen on the spot. When the elevator came, she walked in first and stood in the corner without saying a word.
A few minutes passed and the elevator finally reached the floor. Weng Hong walked out without squinting, finally no longer having to listen to these gossips.
When she arrived at the door of her house, Weng Hong realized that she had forgotten her key, so she could only put down her things and ring the doorbell.
"Ding dong, ding dong!"
"Who is it?" Mother's voice came from inside the room.
"Mom, it's me." Weng Hong responded.
Mother Weng immediately opened the door and said with a serious expression: "Be careful, don't make your father angry."
"What's wrong?" Weng Hong was confused and bent down to pick up the things and enter the door.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw her father's stinky face and shouted angrily: "You still have the nerve to come back!"
Weng Hong was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. She forced a smile and said: "Dad, I wish you a happy birthday. I bought you a cake and what you like to eat..."
"Get out!" Father Weng shouted loudly.
Weng Hong was startled and asked cautiously: "Dad, what happened?"
"What's wrong? The good things you did have brought shame on our old family, and you actually asked me what happened?" Father Weng laughed angrily, grabbed a magazine on the coffee table and threw it over, "You can see for yourself
Bar!"
Weng Hong picked up the magazine out of curiosity and discovered that it was "East Weekly", with a photo of her and Kang Jianfei printed on the cover. Not only that, the cover also had a red bold title - "Kang Jianfei has a new love, Weng Jianfei"
Hong is suspected to be pregnant”!
When Weng Hong opened the text, she saw it read: "Recently, reporters photographed Hong Kong's richest man, Mr. Kang Jianfei, shopping at a maternal and child supermarket with Weng Hong. The two behaved intimately, as if they were traveling as a couple, and Kang Jianfei even personally selected the items.
Baby Products……"
The article was written in a serious manner, and coupled with the set of photos, there were pictures and facts, making it easy for people to believe that Weng Hong was pregnant with Kang Jianfei's child.
"Dad, it's all a misunderstanding." Weng Hong quickly explained.
"What's the misunderstanding? We're all going to buy maternal and infant supplies together!" Father Weng's face turned purple with anger.
Weng Hong's parents were both faculty members of Tsinghua University before immigrating to Hong Kong, and her grandfather was a designer at the Hanyang Arsenal during the Republic of China. They may not be from a scholarly family, but they were at least a family of intellectuals, and their upbringing was not lax.
In another time and space, Weng Hong went to shoot a 3.0 movie with her parents on her back, and almost cut off relations with her family.
In fact, when she participated in a beauty pageant a few years ago, her parents did not agree, thinking that such a thing was degrading to the family.
"Dad, it's really a misunderstanding. Please listen to my explanation." Weng Hong couldn't wait to defend herself.
The mother-in-law was also afraid that the family would be disturbed, so she advised: "Old man, calm down first and listen to my daughter's explanation."
Father Weng sat back on the sofa angrily: "You tell me, I'm listening! Why do you go to the supermarket with Kang Jianfei?"
Weng Hong said: "Dad, you also know that I have had bad luck in the past few years, and I can't become popular in any film I make..."
Before she could finish her words, Father Weng yelled: "If you can't become famous, you can't be someone's little wife!"
"Dad, can you just listen to me?" Weng Hong was also furious.
"You say it, I'll listen." Father Weng said again.
Weng Hong continued: "The company happened to be recruiting high-level assistants, so I tried to apply. Unexpectedly, Mr. Kang was recruiting personal assistants, and I was selected."
The father-in-law was not confused yet, so he pointed out the loophole and said: "Who is Kang Jianfei? He is the richest man in Hong Kong, and he manages a large group. When he recruits personal assistants, he must have at least a college degree, and he will look at you from high school.
graduate?"
"It's true," Weng Hong said anxiously, "If you don't believe it, look at the photos in the magazine. There are several cans of milk powder in the shopping cart. They are for Mr. Kang's son and daughter. Even if I am pregnant, I will take care of myself first.
When choosing maternity clothes, you can’t just buy milk powder directly.”
Father Weng then put on his reading glasses and looked down at the group of photos. He believed his daughter's words a little. But he still said: "No matter what, it is not good for this kind of thing to spread. You should give that assistant's position right away."
Quit!"
"Dad, why are you like this," Weng Hong said angrily, "How could I just resign the position that I fought so hard for?"
Father Weng said: "I have no objection to being an assistant to others, but I absolutely cannot be an assistant to Kang Jianfei. No one in Hong Kong knows that Kang Jianfei is a big sex demon. Even if you are innocent, will others believe you if you tell me?"
Weng Hong also had a stubborn temper. Seeing that she could no longer reason, she said angrily: "I won't resign anyway, so you can think whatever you like."
"If you don't resign, you won't be my daughter!" Father Weng pointed at the door and said, "Get out of here and don't go home until you resign!"
"Get out!"
Weng Hong walked out angrily, forgetting to even take her handbag.
She forced herself to go downstairs and back to her car, and then she finally couldn't help it, and tears fell down her cheeks.
Female stars in the entertainment industry are under a lot of pressure. People like Weng Hong have been unable to get significant roles in recent years precisely because they do not adhere to the director's unspoken rules.
Now she finally figured it out and risked being eaten by Kang Jianfei, so she gritted her teeth and became the chairman's personal assistant. She was about to stand out, but her family didn't understand it at all, which made Weng Hong feel extremely aggrieved and lonely.
After crying in the car for a long time, Weng Hong wiped away her tears and returned to the company, sorting out several documents to report to Kang Jianfei.
"Hey, didn't you ask for leave to go home to celebrate your father's birthday?" Kang Jianfei put down his pen and asked.
Weng Hong forced a smile and said, "My dad is on a business trip."
"Please make your lies more rounded next time," Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "Also, your eyes are red. Did you just cry?"
"No...no." Weng Hong was a little flustered after being exposed.
Kang Jianfei stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out to relax."
Weng Hong asked: "Don't you work?"
"It's just a script, it's almost finished." Kang Jianfei grabbed Weng Hong's little hand and dragged it out.
