Dreams of the Fragrant River

: Thirty-Four [10-Year Contract]

Although Tiaojingling is located in the wilderness, the population of this community is very dense.

When the Hong Kong government was driven from Mount Moxingling to Tiaojingling, there were tens of thousands of veterans and their families. The Hong Kong government thought that the Taiwan authorities would pick up these people soon, so it only regarded Tiaojingling as a temporary refugee settlement site.

As a result, two years later, the Hong Kong government found that the Taiwan authorities did not respond to these veterans at all, and immediately terminated their refugee relief, trying to force the Taiwan side to come and pick them up quickly. Just when the refugees in Tiaojingling were dying of starvation, the Taiwan rescue organization and the Hong Kong church took action to give them some appropriate help to help them get through the most difficult days.

Perhaps it is because of the grace of life that the residents of Tiaojingling are very pro-Taiwan, and most of them are religious believers. They are dubbed “milk powder believers” by outsiders – the church often distributes milk powder to them.

The refugees from Tiaojingling have been living here for more than ten years. Under certain political pressure, the Hong Kong government finally gave them water and electricity and recognized their identity as Hong Kongers.

Wen Bixia walked at the front, walking fast on the uphill stone path, turning back to look at Kang Jianfei and Principal Lin from time to time. In fact, she now thinks that it is not about making money as a star, and she is eager to go home and change her pants. Right now, these pants are old and torn. They were worn by her two sisters before. They were usually worn at school. But now, in front of Kang Jianfei, the boss of a film company, Wen Bixia always felt that these pants made her humiliated. .

Principal Lin pointed at the stone steps and said, “Mr. Kang, don’t look at how rudimentary this place is. We built everything with our own hands. These stone steps were also hammered out by us refugees back then.”

Kang Jianfei praised with a smile: “Well, it’s very good. The residents of Tiaojingling are very united, otherwise they would not be able to build these stone steps.”

“Of course,” said Principal Lin proudly, “in the whole of Hong Kong, the people in Tiaojingling are the most united. If you want to do something, you just need to stand up and shout, and 100,000 people will do what you say! Back then we When I was still living in an oil-paper shed, I did it myself and built eleven schools within three years. Because teaching is free, there are even students from the New Territories who come here to study at Tiaojingling. Our people in Tiaojingling usually help each other, and they all have very noble sentiments…”

Suddenly, Principal Lin’s voice stopped abruptly, staring angrily at the person on the road ahead.

This person is about forty or fifty years old, and he should have been a veteran, urinating on the roadside shirtless. Seeing that the little girl Wen Bixia came, he didn’t shy away, he whistled while urinating, his expression was quite relaxed and comfortable.

After the veteran returned to the house, Principal Lin said embarrassingly, “Mr. Kang, this is a rough person, and his manners are not very civilized. Don’t worry about it. Most of us in Tiaojingling are very polite.”

Kang Jianfei glanced at the shack on the side of the road and said, “I don’t think this has anything to do with civilization or barbarism. It’s just a matter of lag in social development. If he had a bathroom at home, he would definitely not urinate in the street. I want everyone in Tiaojingling. It’s very simple to pee in a civilized manner, every house only needs to have one bathroom, and this is what the Hong Kong government has to consider.”

When President Lin heard this, he felt that this Mr. Kang had a high degree of consideration for the issue, and affirmed sincerely: “Mr. Kang is right, Tiaojingling is indeed too poor. We are third-class citizens of Hong Kong, and we are more than smuggled from Vietnam and the mainland. It’s not as good as coming.”

The two climbed the **** for more than ten minutes before finally arriving at Wen Bixia’s house.

This is a simple wooden house, the house is very dark, and the ground is also bumpy mud. The area of the entire house is at most 30 square meters, but there are nine people living there, and the only electrical appliances in the house are lights, not to mention refrigerators, TVs, and even fans.

Wen Bixia seemed embarrassed to invite them into such a lousy house. She moved out two small benches and said, “Mr. Kang, Principal Lin, please take a seat.”

“Thank you.” Kang Jianfei sat down unceremoniously, but saw two children of a few years old running out of the room, looking at Kang Jianfei, a man in a neat suit.

Soon another woman came out of the house with white hair on her temples. She saw Principal Lin sitting outside the house and hurriedly asked, “Mr. Lin, did my Jasper get into trouble again?”

Principal Lin smiled and said, “It’s not a disaster, it’s a good thing. This is the boss of the Oriental DreamWorks Film Company. He is going to come to our school to make a movie. He just liked your Jasper and wanted Jasper to be the heroine.”

Kang Jianfei stood up and shook hands with the woman: “Hello, Mrs. Wen. I think your daughter has a good image, and I want to make her a movie star. Because she is still underage now, she must be represented by her parents when signing the contract, so today I only Will take the liberty of visiting.”

Mother Wen shook Kang Jianfei’s hand, she immediately realized that her hand was dirty, she pulled it back in an instant, and asked, “This boss, can’t go to school if you go to film?”

Kang Jianfei said: “How could that be? If Biyu is really popular, she can transfer to other better schools and study while filming. Hehe, Principal Lin, don’t be angry, I’m not saying that Tiaojingling Middle School is not good, after all The traffic is too inconvenient.”

“That’s good, Mr. Kang will have to worry more in the future.” Mother Wen didn’t ask any further questions. Because her family was too poor, she was actually quite happy for her daughter to make money. I heard that she could study while making money, so she would be even happier. .

Because Kang Jianfei was brought by Principal Lin, Mother Wen was not worried that he was a liar. She was about to call her daughter over so that Wen Bixia would listen to Kang Jianfei’s words carefully, but found that her daughter was missing.

Just a minute or two later, Wen Bixia ran out of the room again, her worn trousers had been changed, and she was standing under the eaves with a smile in a floral dress.

It is already mid-November. Although the winter in Hong Kong is not too cold, it is not the season to wear skirts.

Wen Bixia’s actions revealed two pieces of information: one is that she doesn’t have a decent set of clothes and trousers, only this skirt can be worn out; the other is that this little girl is really stinky, loves face, and has a strong vanity.

Kang Jianfei took out the contract he had prepared earlier from his bag and said, “Mrs. Wen, it’s like this. The filming will take about a month. Because your daughter is a newcomer, the salary is only 3,000 yuan…”

“3000 yuan?” Mother Wen called out in shock.

Since Tiaojingling is too remote, unless you go out to work, you can only grow some food and vegetables to make a living. In addition, you can make some handicrafts to subsidize the family. 3,000 yuan is already equivalent to the cash income of Wen Bixue’s family for a year.

“Where is 3,000 yuan?” A man with a full beard ran out of the room. He didn’t wipe off the mucus from the corner of his eyes. He was probably sleeping before.

Principal Lin leaned into Kang Jianfei’s ear and said, “This is Wen Biyu’s father, who used to be a veteran. This man gambles and drinks too much. Don’t give him your money.”

Kang Jianfei likes people who have a fatal weakness. He smiled at Father Wen, “Hello, Mr. Wen, I am the boss of a film company. I would like to invite your daughter Wen Biyu to film for 3,000 yuan.”

“It’s really 3,000 yuan?” Father Wen’s eyes lit up, then he spread his hands and said, “Give it to me quickly, I’m her father, and the money she makes is mine.”

Kang Jianfei said, “Don’t worry, I have signed this contract, and this contract must be signed by Jasper’s guardian.”

“I’ll sign it.” Father Wen said impatiently, without reading the terms of the contract, he grabbed the pen and signed his name at the place designated by Kang Jianfei.

Kang Jianfei put away the contract, but did not give him the money, but asked: “Mr. Wen, I think Jasper has great potential. If she is cultivated, it will definitely become popular. After she becomes popular, let alone 3,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan a year. You can also earn it back, I don’t know if you can trust me?”

When Father Wen heard that his daughter could earn 30,000 yuan a year, he nodded quickly and said, “You can trust it, you can trust it.”

Not only Father Wen, but also Wen Bixia herself, her eyes were full of stars at this time, as if she was looking forward to a better life of living in a big house and wearing good clothes.

Kang Jianfei took the opportunity to take out another contract and said, “This is a brokerage contract. As long as this contract is signed, my company will carefully cultivate your daughter to make her popular.”

Principal Lin listened to something wrong. He snatched the brokerage contract and saw that there seemed to be no problems everywhere, but the contract period was actually ten years. He frowned, “Is ten years too long?”

Kang Jianfei explained with a smile: “Which of the stars under Shaw Brothers doesn’t sign for ten or eight years? Only the top stars can sign the first contract. If I don’t sign for a longer time, in case I make classmate Wen popular, What should she do if she suddenly jumps to another company? Didn’t I just get water out of a bamboo basket?”

Mother Wen said quickly, “No, no. Don’t worry, Mr. Kang, although we are poor, we still have to talk about our faith, and we will never do such ungrateful things.”

Father Wen also said, “That’s right, people are based on loyalty and righteousness. Back then, I always rushed in front of the devil, and my daughter couldn’t do the kind of thing that would run away.”

Principal Lin always felt something was wrong. He asked, “Do I have to sign?”

Kang Jianfei was not in a hurry, and said, “It’s fine without signing, but after filming this film, I can’t guarantee that classmate Wen will be able to make other films in the future.”

Wen Bixia was anxious and said, “I am willing to sign. I will only be 23 years old in ten years, and I am still very young.”

“That’s right, what are you talking about, Principal Lin, it’s none of your business.” Father Wen complained. He was itching to think that his daughter would earn 30,000 yuan a year in the future. For fear that Kang Jianfei would take away the contract, he quickly picked up the pen again. sign.

After receiving the two contracts, Kang Jianfei took out 3,000 yuan from the bag, divided it into three parts and said, “Why don’t you do this? Of the 3,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan is for Wen’s filial piety to his father, and the other 1,000 yuan is given to him. The mother subsidizes the family, and the last 1,000 yuan is used as her own private house money.”

“No!” Wen’s father, Wen’s mother, and Wen Bixia objected at the same time~www.readwn.com~ Wen’s father said, “Jiyu is so young and ignorant, but she has more money and will cause trouble, so give me all the money.”

Mother Wen said, “I gave you the money and then lost it? There’s not a penny left in the family. I’m going to use the money for my family.”

Wen Bixia said, “I earned the money, and I have the final say. I want 1,000 yuan for myself, and the other 2,000 yuan for my mother!”

Kang Jianfei shrugged and allocated according to Wen Bixia’s statement, then walked to Father Wen’s side and whispered to him, “Mr. Wen, your daughter will definitely be a big star in the future, and she can pay 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. .You can’t make a relationship with your daughter for 1,000 yuan now. With this cash cow, in the future, there will be more treasures of gold and silver!”

Father Wen was right when he thought about it, but he was jealous when he saw the money in his wife’s hand, spread his hands and said, “Give me 100 yuan first.”

Seeing that he didn’t make any more trouble, Mother Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave 100 yuan to her husband.

Everyone was so happy, Wen Bixia also carefully put away her money and glanced at Kang Jianfei secretly. She felt that this Boss Kang was really capable, and she convinced her father in a few words.

When Kang Jianfei saw the matter was done, he said to Wen Bixia, “The name Wen Biyu is too common, and it will be difficult to become popular in the future. Why don’t I change your stage name.”

Wen Bixian admired Kang Jianfei for a long time, smiled and nodded: “I listen to Mr. Kang, you can call it whatever you want.”

Kang Jianfei said, “You can call it Wen Bixia from now on.”
