Chapter 106 Exchange Group to Hong Kong
Amid the noise, the aunts brought the food to the table.
Liu Hongmin brought out some good wine and the first thing he said when he opened the table was, "Let's welcome Teacher Liu."
After eating and drinking, Liu Hongmin sent Chen Jiangong and Liu Xinwu to the room to rest. After a nap, Liu Xinwu got up and walked to the yard, where he saw Liu Hongmin and Chen Jiangong sitting there drinking tea.
Chen Jiangong called out, "Teacher Liu, come and sit down!"
Liu Xinwu went over and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then he heard a sound from the wall next to him.
"What's over there?"
"Redmin's basement, which contains his ancient books and antiques."
Liu Xinwu looked at Liu Hongmin, and Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "If Teacher Liu is interested, you can go over and take a look."
Chen Jiangong stood up and said, "Teacher Liu, I'll take you to have a look. There are many good things in there."
Liu Xinwu was really interested, and after following Chen Jiangong in, his eyes were immediately opened. The 200-square-meter basement was basically filled to the brim.
"How much does it cost?"
"Several million!" Chen Jiangong guessed, "However, Hongmin likes these ancient books the most. Old Ge and his team have been helping to sort them out for two years, and they haven't even finished half of them yet."
“What an eye-opener!”
Liu Xinwu was still shocked for several days after leaving Liu Hongmin's home. When he came to the exchange group again, he saw Liu Hongmin helping the elderly and hesitated several times to speak.
Chen Jiangong came over and said, "Don't worry about him. I don't know what he's up to!"
Liu Xinwu asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Chen Jiangong smiled and asked, "How do you feel about him now?"
Liu Xinwu thought about it carefully and said, "I admire Liu Hongmin. He is not only good at writing books, but also good at making money."
"He just wants you to feel that way." Chen Jiangong laughed and said, "We often joke that Liu Hongmin's food is not that delicious. Look at Lao Ge and the others. They have to help him even though they are at work."
Liu Xinwu was stunned.
Chen Jiangong smiled, "Of course, these are all jokes. The reason why Lao Ge and others are willing to help Liu Hongmin is because Liu Hongmin is really good to them. When we first entered university, we all had families to support, and the subsidies given by the school were not enough for us to live on. At that time, Hongmin had royalties, so he often treated us to meals and helped us through the most difficult period."
Liu Xinwu said with emotion: "This can be regarded as a true friend in need."
"Teacher Liu, the word you used is a bit inappropriate!"
"Chen Jiangong, you tease me again!"
Liu Hongmin followed the old men and said, "Mr. He, Hong Kong has a developed economy, so they are all arrogant. If we don't show some real ability, they might look down on us."
"Mr. Xu, look here. There are five TV stations in Hong Kong, all of which are on Broadcasting Channel. That's why they jokingly call Broadcasting Channel Mount Wutai."
"Mr. Yang, there are two film companies in our destination this time. One is Zhongyuan Film Company, which filmed Shaolin Temple, and the other is Mingtian Film Company, which filmed Shaolin Kid. Both of these films have had a huge impact in the mainland, and they are both co-productions."
Several old men nodded and pushed their reading glasses.
"I'm old, and my eyesight isn't very good. I can't see many words clearly."
"Mr. Xu, you don't need to say anything. Just sit there and you'll scare them."
Old Xu laughed, "It's not possible now. If it was thirty years ago, they would have dared to look down on me."
"Come on! You were just a civilian cadre thirty years ago and you had never even been on the battlefield. Stop bragging!"
"Old Yang, how come I didn't go to the battlefield? That year we went to the front line to give a consolation performance, and we fought the Americans with real guns and swords."
A few old men were joking with each other, which made the old men next to them very upset. "These old guys, all they do is fight and kill all day long."
"Who says it's not true? If it weren't for their seniority, would they be able to participate in this cultural exchange? How can they be cultured at all?"
"That's right. When we get to Hong Kong, I want to see how they make a fool of themselves."
These old people were the ones that Ms. Chu mentioned who had gotten to the top by relying on their seniority. Liu Hongmin wanted to get in touch with them at first, but was rejected by these guys who relied on their seniority. Seeing this, Liu Hongmin immediately turned to Mr. Xu and Mr. Yang.
From the first day, Liu Hongmin saw that the two gangs were at odds. He had originally wanted to know himself and his enemy, but they didn't give him a chance, so he had to show off his good guy status.
"Those old guys must be saying bad things about us again!"
The hot-tempered Mr. Xu slammed the table and said, "How dare they!"
Liu Hongmin quickly comforted him, "Mr. Xu, don't be angry."
"We don't have time to argue with them. You know, we can't count on them when we get to Hong Kong. Besides, our work has increased because of them, so how can we have time to get angry with them?"
"Xiao Liu is right. Let's hurry up and read the information! Otherwise, we won't be able to finish reading the information until we get to Hong Kong."
"Yeah!"
After calming Mr. Xu down, everyone continued to read the information.
After many days of preparation, the exchange group finally assembled and flew to Hong Kong.
After arriving in Hong Kong, the old man immediately straightened his back, blocked the others from getting off the plane with his hands, and was the first to get off the plane.
At the airport, Sanlian Publishing House organized a number of people to meet them. They walked in square steps and waved to the welcoming staff with great joy.
"These old guys!"
Mr. Xu was so angry, "Are they in a hurry to reincarnate?"
According to the rules, the leader of the exchange group, Ms. Chu, should get off the plane first.
Ms. Chu waved her hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter who gets off the plane first, we are all in the same exchange group."
As she spoke, Ms. Chu glanced at Liu Hongmin, then stood up and said, "Let's get off the plane!"
Liu Hongmin smiled and nodded, then helped Mr. Xu up, "Mr. Xu, let's go down!"
"Okay!" Old Xu nodded. "Xiao Liu, I know you are capable, but you can't learn from those old guys, okay?"
"Remember, never learn from them."
Mr. Xu felt much more relaxed and followed Ms. Chu off the plane.
Liu Hongmin saw off Mr. Xu, Mr. Yang, Mr. Liu and others, and then waited until the back before getting off the plane.
When he walked out of the cabin door, Zou Shifang, who was below, immediately became alert and turned to the company's employees, "The boss is coming down, everyone, speak louder!"
Tomorrow the film company's employees immediately perked up and shouted loudly: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."
The sound was so loud that everyone in the exchange group was surprised. What was going on?
Zou Shifang ran straight to the ladder, wanting to greet Liu Hongmin.
Chen Jiangong happened to be walking in front of Liu Hongmin. He looked back at Liu Hongmin and made a face at him. Then he walked down the ladder and immediately grabbed Zou Shifang's hand, "Old Zou, long time no see! I didn't expect you to still remember me, your classmate, and even made such a big fuss to come and pick me up. If you ask me, this is totally unnecessary..."
Zou Shifang looked at him speechlessly. Am I here to pick you up?
He was just about to push Chen Jiangong away. Although friends were important, the boss was more important!
However, Liu Hongmin winked at him and then walked to the exchange group calmly.
