Chen Rou first meets Nie Zhao because of an anti-terrorism case involving Hong Kong's wealthy elite. He is the richest man in Hong Kong for many years, and a renowned powerful figure. Even thou...
Standing behind the old commander, Chen Ke couldn't help but smile.
Chen Rou is his daughter, but she is completely different from him, speaking in a style reminiscent of Yue Zhongqi.
She was pushing the movie hard, but she would also make it clear that she did not agree with some of the techniques used in it. This left her room for maneuver, and she also emphasized external publicity. Didn't that successfully pique the old leader's interest?
Doing things is not like planting crops, where you will reap a harvest as long as you sow the seeds.
It was more a case of "planting flowers with care but they don't bloom, while willows planted unintentionally and they thrive." So the deluxe edition of "Young and Dangerous" was not sent out, but "The Bodyguard from the South China Sea" was sold. The old leader asked, "Could you give me a copy? I want to see it too. I want to see what it's all about."
Chen Rou readily agreed, but seeing Chen Ke winking, she gently shook her head.
Chen Ke wanted her to bring up the matter of imported films, but Chen Rou felt it wasn't the right time yet.
"Too much talk leads to mistakes," Chen Rou said. "Furthermore, today they are focusing their firepower on Wang Meng, and they shouldn't let other things distract the old leader." So Chen Rou changed the subject and returned to Xue Feng Dao.
She smiled and said, "I learned about the history of this knife from a Japanese collector. I've always wanted the company to make a movie about this knife, and I came here today to ask you about some of its historical stories."
The knife is most effective when it's here.
There's a 70% chance it will definitely exist, because we're currently in a phase of massive privatization across various industries, which is like dividing a cake—whoever grabs it first gets to keep it.
The old leader himself was just an old man, not important, but his son was very important.
Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents surged. The tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease. Chen Ke was about to leave, and they had not found any flaws in him. The group that wanted to get rid of him was almost bursting with anxiety. At this moment, Xue Feng Dao was like a favorable wind, allowing them to confront the old leader directly and accuse Chen Ke of false accusations. If they succeeded in their accusations, they could eliminate Chen Ke.
Therefore, the Snow Maple Blade was delivered as quickly as possible.
However, there is a 30% chance that the knife will not reach the old commander's hands, in which case the effect will be much worse. But Chen Rou will still talk about the knife and will still provoke Wang Meng.
The only problem is that the fire couldn't burn through or penetrate the target; it could only affect Wang Meng, not the people behind him. The two sides ended up in a draw and then moved on to the next round.
Back to the topic of knives, the old commander's anger flared up again.
Although he is old, he is not senile, nor will he be biased or favor his own people.
Just then, the phone rang. He answered it, listened for a moment, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back to work now."
The call had already ended. After a long pause, he shakily put the phone back down, turned to look at Chen Ke, who was glaring at him: "I just had the orderly go to your unit, you were right... How could you be so stupid, why didn't you say so sooner?"
Chen Ke has the personality of an old ox; no matter how hard or tiring it is, he will never complain. He always naively believes that as long as he is not wrong, no one can do anything to him. However, when he was clearly detained, his superiors said that he was just trying to curry favor and stay put.
If he hadn't come today, after he retired and went home, the old leader would only say one thing when he thought of him: "He still didn't have enough experience. He only cared about promotion and not dedication."
He was more wronged than Dou E, but there was nothing that could be done. At that point, everything was beyond redemption.
Fortunately, he was indeed tough, and what he said was the truth. The evidence was solid, and he could withstand scrutiny.
Chen Ke lowered his head and remained silent.
But after the old leader had finished venting his anger, he suddenly realized that Chen Rou might feel uncomfortable, so he smiled and said, "Your older brother has been with me since he was very young, running errands for me. He's just like my son. Don't take it to heart."
He called again, "Little Zhang?"
The daughter-in-law pushed open the door and said with a smile, "I know, my second brother will be here soon."
This youngest daughter-in-law is a former soldier; she has a keen eye for things and is sometimes more useful than a secretary.
Of course, although they say they come to visit, in reality, everyone who comes to see the old man has something to ask him. Those he is willing to see, he is naturally willing to help with; those he is unwilling to see, he is unwilling to help.
Those around him were also assessing how things would develop from the moment the guest entered the room.
Just like Nie Zhao, would he casually meet with someone because of feelings? No.
Hearing that his second son would be back soon, the old leader smiled at Chen Rou and said, "It seems like I haven't seen your little darling for half a day. He must be hungry. Go to the kitchen and ask them to make something he likes. I'll chat with your brother for a while longer."
They needed to discuss something, so it was obviously inappropriate for Chen Rou to be present.
So, because A Yuan actually met a girl he liked, Chen Rou didn't worry about her son for half a day.
That little guy was used as a plaything by his older siblings on Sundays at home. He didn't know how to do anything else, but he knew how to play.
Since the child was playing, she felt there was nothing to worry about.
However, when she came in, A Yuanyuan was clearly wearing a suit, but when she came out, she had changed into camouflage.
The young woman had also changed into camouflage. The two little ones were in the lobby at that moment. When Chen Rou came out, they were standing side by side at the door, but as soon as she stopped to catch her breath, the two children raised their guns at the same time, and the little girl shouted, "Don't move!"
He was the old leader's second son and also Nie Zhao's client.
He came in and saw his little niece holding a gun, who seemed to be used to playing with them. He smiled and raised his hands, saying, "I surrender."
The little girl threw down the gun and picked up A-Yuan: "Second Uncle, look, this is my little brother."
