Having been called "Mainland Girl" over and over by such a brain-dead young girl, Sisi was fuming, even though she is known for her calm deanor. Especially since she is not the kind of girl to take insults without talking back. Sisi didn’t stand up, instead she just sized up the girl in the yellow dress, looking her over for several minutes.
"Indeed, if you don’t have the foundation, don’t ruin good clothes. Tsk tsk, I really admire soone who can make high-end dresses look like they ca from a street stall. And also, before you call others ’Mainland Girl’, you might want to wash out that Shandong scallion taste from your mouth!"
Sisi spoke these words in Cantonese, adding a layer of sarcasm. The girl in the yellow dress turned red and white in quick succession, nostrils flaring with anger, making her look even more unappealing. Particularly when a snicker ca from behind the curtain, she couldn’t save face because Sisi’s words struck at her insecurities. Her family indeed immigrated to Hong Kong from Jinan, Shandong before the liberation, and to this day, her parents still can’t speak Cantonese. Only she had learned a bit, but it was not authentic, which had always been a source of pain for her. Now, Sisi hit the nail on the head so precisely that it was unbearable.
Sisi’s lips curled up slightly, no longer paying any attention to the silly girl, and continued to enjoy the dim sum, obviously disregarding her completely. The fire in the girl in the yellow dress flared up instantly.
Just as the girl in the yellow dress raised her right hand to slap Sisi, a very cool young man appeared out of nowhere, pinching her hand between two fingers and said coldly: "Lady Liu, you seem quite flustered. Perhaps you should go ho and cool off with so mung bean soup."
Seeing the black-clad man suddenly appear, it felt like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over the girl in the yellow dress, bringing her instantly back to her senses. What was she doing today?
This Mainland Girl has a triad big brother backing her, and her Liu family’s small business isn’t enough to play with Boss Qiao. Lady Liu felt cold sweat on her back, imdiately regained her senses, forced a stiff smile, apologized to Sisi in a low voice, and hurried away, followed by her companions who probably also rembered Sisi’s influential background and said "excuse us" before leaving.
This change of scene happened too fast, didn’t it? Weren’t they supposed to band together to attack this Mainland Girl? Weren’t they ready for a big showdown? Why is everyone running away faster than rats?
Sisi couldn’t help but smile wryly and thanked the cool man: "Brother Li, you were really cool just now."
Ah Li tugged the corner of his mouth without a word, then walked behind the curtain and pulled out a man who was flailing his hands around and saying, "Hey, don’t grab my collar, I can walk by myself, I really didn’t an any harm, I just wanted to see what was going on."
"Hey, beautiful, my na is He Chunfeng, it’s really nice to et you." The boy greeted Sisi happily, surprisingly speaking fluent Mandarin.
"He Shishi is your relative?" Since the guy began with Mandarin, Sisi followed suit, thinking that the earlier laugh must have co from this boy.
"Oh, she’s my cousin. Could you ask your big brother to let go? It’s quite hard to breathe when I’m being held up like this." He Chunfeng didn’t seem to have any air of an heir, he spoke quite casually.
Sisi chuckled and motioned for Ah Li to let He Chunfeng down. Ah Li coolly released his grip, and He Chunfeng nearly fell to the ground, but he didn’t seem to mind. He straightened his collar and stared at Ah Li for a while. Before Ah Li got angry enough to hit soone, he finally spoke up.
"Brother Li, you have such an aweso image, it’s a sha not to be in movies. You know what, I am planning to shoot an action movie after the New Year, and Brother Li, you’re perfect for the leading male role. Brother Li, are you interested?"
He Chunfeng chattered non-stop in Ah Li’s ear, trying to persuade Ah Li to act in his movie. It was then that Sisi rembered who this He Chunfeng was - a big brother in the Hong Kong film industry, respectfully called Principal He. His real na was rarely ntioned.
He Chunfeng held such a high status in the Hong Kong film circle, not only because he was a Young Master of the He Family, but also because he was a very talented action movie director. He had made many stars famous, and had directed quite a few films that could be called classical masterpieces.
Never would I have imagined that Principal He, who was quite a stern and sotis gloomy man in a past life, has now beco sowhat of a comical goofball. Can’t he see that Brother Li’s patience is running thin?
However, this goofball does have a good eye for talent. No wonder he later made many big stars. Brother Li has a look that’s both righteous and wicked, a tall physique, and naturally carries a leading man’s aura. Even if thrown into a crowd, he wouldn’t be overshadowed. Most importantly, Brother Li is a skilled martial artist; Mu Xiulan ntioned that he’s a boxing champion!
"Brother Li, this is my business card. If you’ve made up your mind, give a call. I really do see potential in you. Together we can forge a brilliant era for the Hong Kong film industry!"
Principal He’s grand declaration failed to move Brother Li, who didn’t even glance at the business card and coolly continued his duties in the shadows.
"Uh..."
Principal He’s hand halted in mid-air for quite a long ti, but no awkwardness showed. Just as he was about to retract his card, Sisi took it from him. It read, "Chairman and Director of Bright Light Film Production Co., Ltd., He Chunfeng."
"Young Master He, you really are a jack-of-all-trades," teased Sisi.
He Chunfeng blushed slightly, feeling a rare sense of sheepishness. "The company has just started, it’s only for now, but I believe my company will beco the biggest film company in Hong Kong. I will definitely make a lot of great movies!"
He Chunfeng spoke with sincerity and seriousness, his eyes shining brightly, revealing his deep passion for film.
"Mm, I believe in you. You will definitely succeed."
Sisi replied just as earnestly. Even without knowing the outco, she believed in the success due to Young Master He’s passion for film. Those who dare chase their dreams always deserve support.
"Thank you!"
He Chunfeng held Sisi’s hand, moved, his nose tingling. Since deciding to start his film company, not a single family mber had supported him; all of them mocked and ridiculed him, including his own mother. If not for the money left by his grandfather, he would probably have no funds to make films.
When everyone around him opposed and questioned him, Sisi’s simple expression of faith was precious. He Chunfeng longed for a quiet corner to cry. His resolve, which had wavered under his family’s pressure, was now reaffird. Miss He must have seen the shining director’s halo above his head to believe and support him. (Sisi laughs)
"Miss He, are you interested in acting? It would be a sha for you not to beco an actress with your looks. Believe , I can make you as big a star as Xia ng."
After being moved, Young Master He set his sights on Sisi. Until now, he hadn’t looked closely, but to his surprise, Miss He was pure and enchanting, a living image of Xia ng!
Sisi laughed softly, shaking her head in refusal. "I don’t like acting in films!"
He Chunfeng wasn’t too disappointed; probably because he knew of Sisi’s identity and didn’t hold much hope for her to act in films. His interest in Brother Li seed much stronger.
