Chapter 76

Li Xuan originally thought Zhou Xingchi would take him to some dilapidated village, but he didn't expect that the end was a crowded temple street.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Li Xuan asked in disbelief: "Your home is here?"

"Yes, Brother Xuan, go in!" Zhou Xingchi looked at Li Xuan strangely and said. Is there anything strange about living in Temple Street?

It turned out that I had lived so close to Zhou Xingchi! Li Xuan nodded in secretly and said, "Well, you lead the way."

Zhou Xingchi responded for a moment and took the lead and walked into Temple Street.

"Axing, you dare to come back. Your mother said she wanted to smoke you."

"Fifth aunt, my mother didn't say that any time."

"Axing, run away quickly, or your butt will swollen again."

"It didn't swollen last time, but you didn't see it."

"You failed Ah Xing, and left your grandmother and ran away."

"Sister Shan, am I back?"

"Oh, Axing, my Ali is waiting for you to pick it up..."

As soon as the two entered Temple Street, the aunts and aunts who were setting up stalls on the roadside laughed and bombarded Zhou Xingchi. This guy was not showing any weakness and fought back. It seemed that Zhou Xingchi was not too dull.

After moving forward, the two of them came to a street stall selling nail clippers. The stall owner was an old lady, who was posing nail clippers with a teenage girl who looked like a granddaughter.

"What are you buying? We have it here..." The little girl's eyes were better. Yu Guang swept to the front of the street stall and stood up with two legs, quickly raised her head to greet the business. Unfortunately, she had just said half of her words, like a duck being strangled, and her face turned red in an instant.

"Brother, where have you been going this day? Do you know that grandma is worried about death at home alone?" the little girl shouted at Zhou Xingchi, her mouth pouting because she was angry.

It seems that this is Zhou Xingchi's sister and grandmother. Moreover, Zhou Xingchi hasn't shown that he has told his family about working in his company yet, and Li Xuan stood beside him and thought to himself.

"Aha, am I going out to find a job?" Zhou Xingchi said with a smile on his head.

"Hmph, work? Which one of you has worked for a long time? Not..."

"Oh, okay. Axia, don't say it when your brother is back." Grandma Zhou reacted now and stood up and asked Zhou Xingchi, "Xingzai, have you had dinner?"

"No, but grandma..." Zhou Xingchi said with a serious look: "I really found a job." The guy said, and pointed at Li Xuan and continued: "No, my boss is here."

"Ah? Job? Boss?" Only then did Grandma Zhou and Xiaomei Zhou notice Li Xuan who they had been ignoring next to her.

"Well, Grandma Zhou, little sister. I am Li Xuan, the boss of Xuanyuan Film Company. This time I took the liberty to disturb me." Li Xuan nodded quickly and introduced himself.

The film company? Boss? Grandma Zhou and Xiaomei Zhou looked at each other in a glance. Finally, Grandma Zhou asked carefully: "I wonder what Boss Li is asking us for?"

"Oh, that's it..." Li Xuan took out the contract from his briefcase and said, "Because Ah Xing is only seventeen years old, he still has to sign the contract with the guardian. Look..."

"Contract? Signing?" Grandma Zhou waved her hand and replied: "I have to find his mother. I, an old lady, can't make the decision."

"Uh, I don't know where Mom Zhou is now?"

"Xingzai knows, Xingzai! Why don't you take Mr. Li Xuan there quickly?" Grandma Zhou quickly gestured.

In less than ten minutes, Li Xuan, Zhou Xingchi and Zhou Xingchi's mother Lin Baoer sat in a food shop called "Yiheji". Zhou's mother was the cashier of this food shop.

"Mr. Li, there is no problem with the rest, but is the five-year contract a little too long?" Zhou's mother asked. She also agreed that Zhou Xingchi went out to find a safe and stable job. After all, Zhou Xingchi's studies are not very good. Moreover, she divorced Zhou's father a long time ago, and all three children are raised by her. She has worked several jobs every day, so she is very tired. If it can really reduce the burden on the family, it is also a good thing.

"Haha, Sister Lin, it will only take three years to shorter, but..." Li Xuan paused and continued: "But that's all the years for second-tier stars. Newcomers like Ah Xing who knows nothing and has no fame are very short. Five years are long. Sister Lin has been in Hong Kong for so many years, so she should know how Shaw Brothers' newcomers are. The lowest is an eight-year contract."

It turned out that Lin Baoer was from Guangdong. When the mainland was rectifying the situation in 1957, her father was arrested. She and her mother couldn't stand it and fled to Hong Kong. At that time, the manufacturing industry in Hong Kong was developing rapidly, but it was not easy for new immigrants to find a job. They had to have someone to guarantee and have a job deposit. It was not easy. After coming to Hong Kong, Lin Baoer had no money to study, soy sauce was quickly married to an immigrant from Shanghai. They lived in the poor district of Kowloon, gave birth to two daughters and one son, and lived a poor life. The family of five was squeezed in a narrow wooden house, sleeping in a "top and bottom bunk" bed, and treated soy sauce as a delicacy in the world.

But Zhou Xingchi's parents always had different personalities, and the two often quarreled and even fought. Lin Baoer was a person with a temperament. Finally, she divorced her husband and custody of her children belonged to Lin Baoer. From then on, she moved to Miaojie to raise three children with her mother.

As for the issue of signing an economic contract that only lasts five years, Li Xuan felt very distressed. This is Zhou Xingchi! It would be best if he could sign him for decades. Unfortunately, he does not have the confidence of Shaw Brothers. It would be great to sign a newcomer for a small film company like him for five years.

No matter how much time is, others have to doubt whether he is going to do something bad.

"Okay, I'll sign, but I hope Mr. Li can take our Axing a little bit." Mother Zhou thought for a while and said helplessly, grabbed the pen next to her and signed her name on the contract.

"Sister Lin can rest assured!" Li Xuan picked up the signed contract and looked at it, then patted Zhou Xingchi next to him on the shoulder and continued, "Axing, I am very optimistic, otherwise I would not have come to sign the contract in person."

After signing the appointment, Li Xuan said goodbye. After all, it was dinner time, and the food shop was very busy, and Zhou Xingchi followed Li Xuan out.

"Axing, where is Weizai's home?" Li Xuan asked casually as he looked at the surrounding houses.

"Weizai, it's very close to Wusong Street over there, and that row of houses is just over there." Zhou Xingchi pointed to a row of houses in the distance and said, "But his family probably has nothing to do now."

"There's nothing to do?"

"Yes, Aunt Liang has also worked several jobs, and Weizai is probably still delivering newspapers now."

"oh……"

Li Xuan nodded, and then he remembered that Tony Leung is still a newspaper delivery worker. After muttering in his heart, Li Xuan gave up on going to find Leung Chauwei now. Let's wait a while before talking.

"Does Brother Xuan want to sign Weizai?" But Li Xuan didn't want to find him anymore, so Zhou Xingchi asked.

"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded without any concealment.

"Then I'll talk about Weizai these days." Zhou Xingchi thought for a while and said.
