Chapter 19: Just what I wanted
...
Seeing the brand new 200,000 yuan in Xu Kai's hand, Xu Yun, Cui Min and Xu Li finally began to believe that what Xu Kai said before about it being easy to make money was not just nonsense.
After only one day of work, Xu Kai earned 200,000 yuan in cash plus a promise of a film salary of 1 million yuan.
With such dazzling ability to make money, the person is well qualified to say that 500,000 yuan is not too much of a dowry. Even saying that 5 million yuan is not too much of a dowry is not wrong at all.
Jing Guangwei and Chen Tao immediately changed from being lackeys of Xu Yun and Xu Li to being lackeys of Xu Kai. They came up to Xu Kai and said with a big smile on their faces, "Brother Kai... No, Brother Qingyun, it's a good thing you were able to keep your composure just now, otherwise, that Song Zhigang would have sent you away with 50,000 yuan."
"Do you think Qingyun is as worldly-wise as you and Chen Tao? More than a decade ago, Qingyun went to Kyoto alone with a guitar on his back. What kind of big scene has he not seen?"
As soon as Tian Youfu said this, Xu Kai's thoughts immediately drifted back to more than ten years ago.
At the same time, a graceful figure that Xu Kai didn't want to think of but couldn't get rid of appeared in Xu Kai's mind.
"Brother Qingyun has also been to Kyoto?" Chen Tao asked in shock.
"Not only that, Qingyun has also formed a band, held concerts, and even released an album." Tian Youfu said proudly.
"Brother Qingyun has released an album? How can I…"
When the words came to his lips, Jing Guangwei realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly swallowed back the words "I haven't heard of it" that he wanted to say next.
"If you go back and look online, you should be able to find a video of Qingyun singing "Fly High," but back then Qingyun had long hair and wasn't as muscular as he is now. He was very thin then."
While saying this, Tian Youfu looked Xu Kai up and down and said, "You didn't seem to be as tall as you are now, right?"
Tian Youfu's question brought Xu Kai out of his memories.
"I grew another 5 centimeters after I was imprisoned," Xu Kai said with a smile.
"Can an adult still grow taller?" Jing Guangwei asked in astonishment.
"It's not surprising to see something unusual. One can grow taller at 20 to 25cm," said Tian Youfu.
Xu Yun, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said with some concern: "You have offended Song Zhigang. Will he make things difficult for you and Xu Li?"
"The characteristic of a film crew is that they are highly professional. Everyone has to make a living by their own abilities. Whoever is useful will have a higher status. I am now an irreplaceable existence in the "Escape" crew. If Song Zhigang has any brains, he will not provoke us. If they force me away, Linda and the others will definitely deal with Song Zhigang." Xu Kai said.
Seeing Xu Kai's insight, Tian Youfu liked him even more: "He is brave, resourceful, and calm. If he can become my son-in-law, then the day of my success will not be far away."
After hearing what Xu Kai said, Xu Yun felt relieved.
"Let's buy a car." Xu Kai suggested.
"Buy a car?"
Xu Yun, who always cares about his reputation, was tempted! "After buying a car, I have to refuel, maintain it, and even pay parking fees. It's too expensive," said Cui Min.
"Look, my dad is the leader of the gang now, how can he not have a car of his own? If we tell this to others, our friends will laugh at us." Xu Kai said with a smile.
Xu Yun, who was already very excited, immediately agreed with Xu Kai after hearing what he said: "We have to travel back and forth between Hengdian and the village frequently. We have such a big business, and we may need to rush to other places in the future. It is really inconvenient not to have our own car."
"I also think it would be nice for our family to have a car," said Xu Li.
"Sister-in-law, we can't save the money we should spend." Tian Youfu also followed suit to persuade Cui Min.
Everyone in the audience agreed to buy a car, and since Xu Kai was so capable now, Cui Min had no choice but to agree.
…
The group visited three 4S stores in a row, but they were still not satisfied and kept arguing about what car to buy.
In the end, Xu Kai made the final decision and bought a GL8 that is both stylish and practical.
After that, Xu Kai and others drove the GL8 to go on a shopping spree.
Food!
Wear!
For fun!
Based on his guess, Xu Kai bought a lot of things that a teenage girl might like.
Seeing that Xu Kai bought a lot of things that Xu Mai couldn't use or were even useless, Cui Min really wanted to stop Xu Kai from spending money like this.
But he was stopped by Xu Li.
Xu Li guessed that Xu Kai just wanted to make up for his debt to his daughter, and they should not interrupt Xu Kai.
Xu Li guessed correctly.
In his previous life, Xu Kai had never been able to resist the endless temptations of alcohol and sex in the entertainment industry, and he never took care of his health. As a result, he died at the age of forty.
What makes Xu Kai regretful is that although he had girlfriends all the time in his previous life, he never got married and had no children.
So, in two lifetimes, Xu Kai only had one child, Xu Mai.
But Xu Kai did not cherish the opportunity to be a father and became the most incompetent father.
Xu Kai was very scared. After meeting Xu Mai, Xu Mai would ask himself: "I'm almost eleven years old. Why did you just appear in my life? Is there any father like you?"
Therefore, Xu Kai attaches great importance to his meeting with Xu Mai tomorrow.
For this reason, Xu Kai, feeling guilty, not only bought a car to arm himself, but also spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy himself a new set of clothes. He also went to the barber shop and asked the barber to do some work on his inch-long hair.
Finally, Xu Kai bought himself a new mobile phone and got a SIM card - he wanted to establish contact with his daughter, and from now on, he would personally pay attention to his daughter's growth.
Let me put it this way, in his two lifetimes combined, Xu Kai has dated dozens of women.
But there was never a time when Xu Kai was so fully prepared.
When Xu Kai finished dressing up, everyone's eyes lit up! He was tall, strong, slender and muscular! Mature, steady and imposing! To describe him in one word, it was - handsome!
Xu Li looked at his bulging belly and the chubby face in the fitting mirror, then looked at Xu Kai, who was handsome and looked like he was in his early twenties, and thought to himself, "No wonder Big Brother was able to play a villain right after his debut. Should I lose some weight too?"
And Tian Youfu smiled even more brightly: "Although he is a little older, Xu Kai is definitely worthy of my Haitang!"
…
After Xu Li drove Xu Kai and others back to Furong Village, a small problem occurred - the mountain road leading to Furong Village No. 1 was in too bad condition and the car could not drive up at all.
So Tian Youfu suggested leaving the car at his house.
Xu Yun was really reluctant to let his new car stay overnight at someone else's house, and he kept shouting, "When I have money in the future, I must repair this broken road. It takes more than 20 minutes to go up and down every day. All my precious time is wasted on this broken road."
In fact, this has always been Xu Yun’s wish.
but--
Before this, Xu Yun had just thought about it.
You know, even if you just build an ordinary cement road from No. 1 Furong Village to the foot of the mountain, it will cost several million.
And this refers to the kind of coping project that is 3 meters wide and 15 centimeters thick.
If we want to build a mountain road of the same quality as a highway, it will cost at least 10 million.
Xu Kai did not disappoint Xu Yun and immediately stated: "After a while, I will find a way to make some money, and then start repairing this road. When the road is completed, I will renovate our old house."
Before Xu Yun could feel relieved, Cui Min scolded him: "How come you, old man, don't understand your son's difficulties at all? Xu Kai hasn't even married yet, and you want him to build roads for you. What are you thinking?"
Xu Yun's face turned red, but he still said stubbornly: "I didn't say to repair it now. What I meant is that when Xu Kai has some spare money in the future, he can repair this broken road."
Perhaps because he was afraid that Cui Min would scold him again, Xu Yun quickly said, "Our old house will be passed down to the two brothers sooner or later. When Xu Kai builds the road, he is actually building a road for himself. Moreover, if the road is built and the old house is repaired, it will be easier for Xu Kai to find a wife, right?"
After hearing what Xu Yun said, Cui Min's expression eased up: "That's true."
Cui Min turned to Tian Youfu and said, "Old Tian, you and Old Xu are childhood friends, and have been friends for more than 50 years. I need your help with something, and you must not refuse."
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? As for our family's affairs, I, Tian Youfu, can definitely do it. If I can, I will do it 100%. If I can't, I will definitely try my best to do 120%. " Tian Youfu said without any ambiguity.
"You can definitely do this," Cui Min said.
"Sister-in-law, just tell me, what's the matter?" Tian Youfu asked.
"You know a lot of people. See if you can find a good girl and introduce one to Xu Kai. However, I have to tell you something ugly. Even though Xu Kai is 31, has been in prison, and has a child who is almost 11 years old, we don't want him to get married for the second time."
"You have seen Xu Kai's ability. Which girl who follows him wouldn't be able to wear gold and silver and eat delicious food?"
"Besides, Xu Kai's looks and figure are right here. How many guys can compare to him?"
"Also, although our house is shabby, the area is there. At the very least, it should be worth 20 to 30 million."
"Of course, this house is the ancestral home, so it cannot be sold, but its value is here. Isn't this also Xu Kai's worth?"
"In a word, Xu Kai's conditions are still good, so you must help him introduce a good girl."
Hearing that Cui Min was just what she wanted, Tian Youfu immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will leave this matter to you. If I can't find a suitable wife for Qingyun, I will marry my daughter Haitang to him."
