380 [Red Children]
At Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei's Cadillac was parked outside the airport lobby.
Zeng Bolin looked at his watch and reminded: "Boss, the flight is on time!"
"I understand." Kang Jianfei put on his sunglasses and pushed the door and got out of the car. He had a very high exposure rate in Hong Kong media. Major newspapers liked to publish his photos when they were fine, so they often covered up their photos when they went out.
Zeng Bolin moved out a piece of cardboard with a name written on it from the car and quickly chased after him. He had been in charge of the contact distribution of DreamWorks in the United States for two years, and also sold seven or eight Hong Kong films to North America. His performance was not too bad and not very good.
Just last week, DreamWorks sent a deputy manager with outstanding performance in the distribution department to take over his job in the United States, while Zeng Bolin was transferred back to Hong Kong to become Kang Jianfei's accompanying assistant.
Since Hu Juncai went to the mainland, Kang Jianfei's assistant position has been empty. Zeng Bolin was so envious of many people that he was able to obtain this position.
As for why Kang Jianfei fell in love with this person, the reason is actually very simple. It is just because Zeng Bolin is mediocre and has a stable personality and does not like to cause trouble. This kind of person is not a career-oriented talent, but he has no ambition and a strict mouth. In addition, he has been practicing in the United States for two years and has a broad vision. He happens to be the best candidate for being a portable assistant.
Kang Jianfei and Zeng Bolin walked towards the exit. Along the way, two or three people looked at Kang Jianfei carefully, obviously recognizing him, but fortunately no one came up to chase the stars and wanted to sign. Two or three years ago, due to limited manpower and financial resources, Kang Jianfei also appeared in several movies himself, but he no longer appeared on the screen. The media and the public also positioned Kang Jianfei as a businessman rather than a star.
Zeng Bolin held up the cards with the words "Ye Xueyan" and waited for about five or six minutes, and finally four people walked towards them.
Among the four people, one man and one woman were obviously a couple, and the woman was holding a little girl who was seven or eight years old. Two or three steps ahead of the three of them was a middle-aged man with a flat head. Although this person was a little short, his eyes were sharply observing the situation around him, and most of them were figures like bodyguards.
"Hello, Mr. Kang!" Mr. Ye San shook hands with Kang Jianfei with a smile. He was wearing a suit and could not tell that he was from the mainland.
Kang Jianfei took off his sunglasses, shook hands with Ye Xueyan and said, "Hello, Mr. Ye knows me?"
Ye Xueyan smiled and said, "I have watched many movies of Mr. Kang. In the first part of "The Royal Sister", you will be in person."
"So that's the case, it's so honorable." Kang Jianfei smiled. Although the DreamWorks movie was not released on the mainland, it is not difficult for the children of high-ranking officials to watch it, not to mention that this young master Ye San himself is a literary and artistic young man.
After Ye Xueyan shook hands with Kang Jianfei, he said, "Let me introduce it. This is my lover Su Yuanyuan, and this is my daughter Ye Zijing."
"Hello, sister-in-law!" Kang Jianfei didn't care about Ye Zipei's seniority, and directly held Su Yuanyuan's hand and called her sister-in-law. He took out a Mickey Mouse plush toy and stuffed it into the little girl's hand, and said with a kind expression, "Welcome to Hong Kong for children Ye Zijing."
Ye Zijing liked Mickey Mouse very much, but she didn't dare to accept it immediately. Instead, she looked up and looked at her mother with anticipation.
Su Yuanyuan patted her daughter's head and said, "Isn't thankful uncle yet."
"Thank you uncle." The little girl said with a smile.
Ye Xueyan finally introduced the short man with thick arms: "This is Gao Yahu, a friend of mine."
"Hello, Mr. Gao!" Kang Jianfei took the initiative to shake hands with the other party.
"Hello!" Gao Yahu's face was still cold, and there was no expression at all.
As soon as the two of them touched their hands, Kang Jianfei felt the calluses on the other party's palms, and the power of the tiger's mouth was even more terrifying. However, he did not intend to compete with Gao Yahu's hand strength. It was purely because he had eaten too much and wasted his identity by vain.
After retracting his hand, Kang Jianfei said, "Mr. Ye, let's get in the car and talk about it."
Ye Xueyan said: "Mr. Kang is a landlord, you have the final say."
Several people walked out of the airport, but they were a little troubled when getting in the bus. Although Kang Jianfei and Zeng Bolin drove a car together, it was difficult to arrange it, because Gao Yahu always insisted on taking the same car as Ye Xueyan.
Ye Xueyan looked at Gao Yahu with dissatisfaction, but he was not good to scold him on the spot, so he had to squeeze the back seat with his wife and daughter and give the passenger cab to Gao Yahu to sit.
Kang Jianfei was funny watching from the side. Gao Yahu, the bodyguard, could make Young Master Ye San frowned. It was probably the person sent by Hua Shuai. First, he was responsible for protecting Ye Xueyan's safety, and second, he could also serve as a monitoring role and report the situation to Hua Shuai at any time.
Kang Jianfei started the car, and Zeng Bolin also drove the car behind.
After leaving the airport, Kang Jianfei said, "Mr. Ye, I have helped you see a house. Because the owner immigrated abroad, the rent is very cheap. Let's go and take a look first."
"Then I'll trouble Mr. Kang." Ye Xueyan said.
Kang Jianfei shook Su Yuanyuan intentionally or unintentionally through the car rearview mirror. This legendary No. 1 beauty in the capital, he had long been famous in his previous life, but the beauty was already old at that time, and today he finally saw her when she was young.
Su Yuanyuan is not the kind of beauty with small faces that is popular in later generations. Her face is a bit round, which is a cute apple-shaped face. At first glance, it is not very beautiful, but it is of the kind of look-aware type. The more you look at the eyebrows, eyes, facial features and temperament, the more you look, the more you feel it tastes. Well, how to say it, it is the same type as Zhong Chuhong.
In another time and space, Kang Jianfei, who had been drifting in Beijing for several years, had heard of various rumors about this family, and he didn't know whether the rumors were true or false.
It is said that when Mr. Ye drove a troop to chase the beautiful Su girl every day, he grabbed the number one beauty in the capital from another literary youth. However, Kang Jianfei doubted the authenticity of this rumor. After all, the ten-year catastrophe was not over at that time, and the leading cadres were still sitting on the red flag. Where did the troop run for Mr. Ye to open it?
The house Kang Jianfei found for the Ye family was on Binji Road in the middle of the mountain, and he had to detour by the sea, which took a lot of time.
Ye Xueyan was paying attention to the street scene in Hong Kong outside the window along the way. Although he was a child of a high-ranking official in red, this was the first time Ye Xueyan left the mainland. He had worked in the air force before, but after he was discharged from the army, he had been lying in the government office. In the blink of an eye, he was over 30 years old and still achieved nothing.
Compared to being an official in mainland China, Ye Xueyan yearned for modern life abroad more. He was a standard literary and artistic young man. He not only read various foreign classics, but also had a lot of movies and records collected at home, and his photography skills were even more sophisticated than many masters who opened photo studios.
This time Ye Xueyan came to Hong Kong to do business, which made people laugh and cry.
Ye Xueyan and his wife Su Yuanyuan both had a petty bourgeois mood and held various dance parties at home on holidays. When many ordinary people in China were still hungry, his family had become a fashion frontier in the capital. Then the descendants of a founding father also wanted to come and play, but Su Yuanyuan was incompatible with that person and did not invite her every time she held a party. So the noble daughter ran to the Public Security Bureau to report it in anger.
In this day and age, most people gather at home to dance, which is suspected of hooliganism. In addition, this year, it is being cracked down again, and there are targets for arrest in various places. The organizers of the dance party may even be shot at the gun.
Of course, Young Master Ye San would not be shot. In fact, he didn't even get in, but this incident spread in the capital.
Hua Shuai felt that the impact was not good, so he planned to take Ye Xueyan to a county town in the south to experience it. After working as a county magistrate for a few years, he accumulated his political qualifications. However, Ye Xueyan had a strong petty bourgeois attitude, and he felt bored even when he stayed in the capital. It would be so uncomfortable to be an official in a small county town where he could not shit. He simply confronted his family and told him that he would come to Hong Kong to do business.
After more than a month of trouble, Ye Xueyan finally won the victory. After exchanged more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, he brought his wife and daughter to Hong Kong. As for what business he did, he thought about when he was in Beijing, and it was nothing more than communicating with the customs in advance and then doing some "import and export trade".
Because he had to "work hard" on his own, Ye Xueyan did not disturb the units in Hong Kong, so as not to attract too many attention. But what Ye Xueyan did not expect was that his cousin Ye Zipei actually knew Kang Jianfei and contacted Kang Jianfei to pick him up and arrange his residence.
As mentioned earlier, Ye Xueyan is a great literary young man who likes photography, just like a teacher named Chen in the future. When he was in Beijing, he had watched several movies of Kang Jianfei, and he also knew that "Home Imperial" is very popular in Europe and the United States. He respects Kang Jianfei, a film artist, in his heart, so he is naturally willing to communicate with Kang Jianfei.
The Kowloon building flew away outside the window. Ye Xueyan looked at these scenes that could only be seen in the movie, and felt that it was a hundred times better than the backward mainland.
When the car entered the undersea tunnel and drove for more than ten minutes, Ye Xueyan couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Kang, this highway tunnel is so long."
Kang Jianfei introduced: "This is a submarine tunnel in Hong Kong. You can drive directly from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island. When the tunnel is not built, you can only take a boat to go there."
"Under sea tunnel!" Su Yuanyuan, who had not spoken much, asked in surprise, "Are you saying we are under the sea now?"
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It can be said that."
Ye Xueyan suddenly said, "It's still advanced in capitalist society. You can actually build roads under the sea."
Kang Jianfei was really amused and crying. How could this be what the red children should say?
However, many Chinese people in this era blindly worship Western advanced technology, and Ye Xueyan is just one of them.
After finally leaving the tunnel and heading to Lion Mountain, Kang Jianfei became a tour guide and introduced the situation in this area to the Ye family.
Until the car stopped in front of a townhouse, Kang Jianfei pushed open the car door and said, "It's here."
Looking at the small white villa with garden lawn, everything was like in the movie, Ye Xueyan was quite happy. In fact, he lived in a courtyard house in Beijing, with an elegant and comfortable environment, much better than the townhouses here, but Ye Xueyan felt that the villa in front of him was a high-end modern residence.
"Mr. Kang, is the rent here very expensive?" Su Yuanyuan asked suddenly.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "It's not expensive. The owner immigrated abroad. The house is idle and it's also idle. The rent is only 1,000 yuan a month."
A monthly rent of 1,000 yuan is naturally a sky-high price for mainlanders, but Ye Xueyan had already learned about the situation here when he came to Hong Kong. He is not a fool, so of course he could not think that he was lucky and got a bargain. He couldn't help but have a good impression of Kang Jianfei and thought that this person could be close friends.
The two met for the first time. If Kang Jianfei directly sent the villa, it would be too abrupt and he would put his posture too low. And he let Ye Xueyan live in with a low-priced rental method, and everything was left unspeakable, and Ye Xueyan also owed him a great favor.
Gao Yahu and Zeng Bolin helped to move the Ye family's luggage in, Kang Jianfei led Ye Xueyan, and Su Yuanyuan and his wife were familiar with each room.
Seeing all kinds of Western decorations and modern products, Su Yuanyuan was extremely satisfied with the villa, and quietly played in the bathroom for a while and flushed the toilet.
"Mr. Kang is so interesting, I don't know how to thank him." Ye Xueyan smiled enthusiastically and shook hands with Kang Jianfei. Now it is just the time when Hong Kong's housing prices plummeted again. It's okay to buy such a villa elsewhere for more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars in his hand, but it is impossible to have 500,000 yuan in the middle of the mountain.
Kang Jianfei laughed and said, "It's just a little effort. In the past few days, I'll ask Bolin to take you and your sister-in-law around in Hong Kong. First, get familiar with the situation here. Zi Pei will come to Hong Kong in a few days."
