Chapter Thirty: Wang Wei's Ambition

  Wang Wei stayed in the hospital for another week, during which Qiong Yao and other crew members came to visit him. Qiong Yao felt very guilty about what had happened that day and claimed that if she hadn't held onto Lin Fengjiao at the time, none of those things would have occurred.

  Wang Wei repeatedly emphasized that this matter had nothing to do with Qiong Yao, but still couldn't bear Qiong Yao's repeated apologies. In the end, Wang Wei could only agree to let Qiong Yao pay for his hospital expenses during this period.

  "Ah, the air outside is really fresh." Wang Wei's bandage on his head had been removed, but he was now wearing a white duck tongue cap. This was because when he was in the hospital that day, the doctor had shaved all of Wang Wei's hair off to stitch up the wound on top of his head. So when he left the hospital, Wang Wei put back on the duck tongue cap he had bought with Lin Fengjiao at Ximending before. Only this time, Wang Wei wasn't using the hat brim to cover his face, but rather to cover his shiny bald head.

  "Next time you try to play hero and rescue the beauty, make sure you have the ability to do so." Lin Fengjiao said with a glance at Wang Wei, who was stretching his waist. These past few days, Wang Wei had not been spared from Lin Fengjiao's cold ridicule.

  Since that day when Lin Qingxia left, Lin Fengjiao had been asking Wang Wei with a dark face: "Ah Wei, didn't you say you didn't know Qingxia? How did you know her name?"

  "Huh, wasn't it you who told me?" Wang Wei replied with a laugh, trying to bluff his way out.

  "Me? You think I'm an old lady in my seventies or eighties, with such a bad memory. I clearly didn't tell you Qingxia's name."

  "No?" Wang Wei rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "I couldn't possibly say that I'm a time-traveler, so that's how I knew Lin Qingxia's name."

  So Wang Wei could only remain silent, resulting in him being ridiculed by Lin Fengjiao every time he opened his mouth these past few days.

  As for Lin Fengjiao's sarcasm, Wang Wei didn't get angry either. Wang Wei stroked his chin with his hand and smiled, saying: "Fengjiao, you really are my lucky star. If it wasn't for your reminder, I would have forgotten about this matter."

  "What's wrong?"

  "You said I wasn't strong enough, so I'll apprentice with a master and learn martial arts."

  “·····”

  Looking at Wang Wei's complacent face, Lin Fengjiao followed behind and gritted her teeth, saying: "Dead Ah Wei, see how long you can be smug."

  At Wang Wei's home, "Young master is back!" A fifty-year-old woman with a slightly thin face came out of the kitchen and called out to Wang Wei who had just entered the house. When Wang Wei turned around and saw that it was Lin Ma, Lin Ma was the nanny he had hired for his mother before going to the film crew, introduced by a friend of Lin Fengjiao's father.

  Mrs. Lin's husband died early, leaving only a daughter who had gone missing, and the family was left with only Mrs. Lin and her granddaughter, who was also Mrs. Lin's grandson, relying on each other for survival. At that time, when Wang Wei was supporting his mother, he heard about Mrs. Lin's situation and decided to support her without hesitation. As a result, it turned out that Mrs. Lin was a kind and hardworking person, and during her stay in the drama group with Wang Wei's mother, their relationship was like family.

  Wang Wei returned home from the crew and often heard his mother praising Lin's mother in front of him. As soon as Wang Wei saw Lin's mother, he took off his outerwear while smiling and replied: "Oh, it's Lin's mother! I just got back, where's my mom?"

  "Madam is in the house mending shoes." "Oh." "Oh, young master, after you left that day, a Mr. Xue came to visit you. I said you weren't home, and he didn't say anything before leaving. Oh, when he was leaving, it seemed like he mentioned something about your new book's manuscript fee being paid." "Oh, got it." Wang Wei nodded.

  "Master, I have something to tell you," said Lin Mama, hesitating for a moment before speaking. "What is it, Lin Mama?" asked Wang Wei, looking at her. Lin Mama fell silent again, then continued with some embarrassment: "Master, you know that I have a grandson who has been dependent on me since childhood. Now that I'm working here as a servant, I don't feel at ease leaving him alone at home. So I was thinking...thinking..." Lin Mama trailed off, feeling too embarrassed to continue.

  Wang Wei had already guessed what Lin Ma wanted to say from the first half of her sentence. So when he saw Lin Ma humming for a long time, he opened his mouth and asked: "Lin Ma, how old is your grandson?" As soon as Lin Ma heard Wang Wei ask about her grandson's age, she knew that Wang Wei had already understood what she meant. She quickly replied: "Not yet twelve years old this year."

  "Oh, twelve years old, no education."

  "At first he would recite it, but after his mother left, he stopped." Lin's mother said in a low voice.

  "Oh, then ask my mom, if she agrees, let your grandson move in and live with us." Wang Wei said after some thought. Lin's mother was so excited to hear Wang Wei agree that she wanted to kneel down to thank him: "Thank you, young master." But she was quickly stopped by Wang Wei, who was swift to react: "Lin mom, what are you doing? If you do this, I'll get angry!" "Young master, you and your wife are good people. Even if I were to serve you and your wife as a cow for the rest of my life, I still wouldn't be able to repay your kindness." Lin's mother didn't kneel down again, but she kept repeating how good Wang Wei and Wu Xia were.

  After dinner, Wang Wei had a conversation with his mother, but he didn't tell her about meeting Chen Qili because he was afraid that if she knew, she would worry.

  At night, Wang Wei lay in bed thinking about the things that had happened during this period of time. From rebirth to now, it has been more than half a year. During this period, Wang Wei first wrote, then composed songs, and even encouraged Lin Fengjiao to participate in a singing competition, where he met and became a disciple of Zuo Hongyuan.

  Later, he also got to know Teresa Teng and even gave her two songs. Later, he adapted Qiong Yao's "Deep in the Courtyard" and through his teacher Zuo Hongyuan, the script was adopted. He met Qiong Yao again and successfully brought Lin Fengjiao into the entertainment industry ahead of schedule, becoming the female lead in Qiong Yao's drama. At the same time, he became Song Cunshou's assistant. Especially during this period in the crew, Wang Wei felt that he learned a lot about what a director should do in practice. This made Wang Wei more confident in his next plan.

  Wang Wei plans to go to Hong Kong after the Spring Festival, register a company in Hong Kong. Wang Wei does not want to put the headquarters of his company in Taiwan because at this time in Taiwan, the political atmosphere is too strong and the government's control over capital is too strict, which does not conform to Wang Wei's idea of making money in the energy crisis and stock market crash. As an international metropolis, Hong Kong has more freedom in fund circulation. Although it is sandwiched between the mainland, Taiwan, and British powers, it is still a paradise for investors. Wang Wei needs money to make movies, and Hong Kong is undoubtedly the best place for Wang Wei to make money.
