Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Du Yongxiao?"

Qiong Yao was stunned for a moment, "Why does this name sound so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere."

"He is from Hong Kong and does business in Hong Kong. It's a big business, and -" Lin Qingxia paused, "seems to be a very important person."

"Oh, by the way, I remembered who he was!" Qiong Yao's eyes lit up, "The first Chinese police commissioner in Hong Kong! He is also a super tycoon! His surname is Du, so he is called Du Yongxiao!"

"Ah, the first Chinese police chief?" Lin Qingxia laughed dumbly, "Impossible, he is in business, how can he become the police chief?"

"Axia, you underestimate this Mr. Du! He is not only a businessman, but also an official of the British Hong Kong government, and even -"

"Even what?" Lin Qingxia was confused.

"He is even the first Chinese earl in the British Empire!"

"What?" Lin Qingxia opened her mouth in surprise.

"I know it's hard for you to believe it, but it's true. His status is extremely noble and special. So A'xia, I hope you can think carefully about whether you are suitable to be with him?"

Qiong Yao didn't finish what he said. The implication was that you were just a little star, and the other party's status was extremely special. Basically, it was a mismatch.

Lin Qingxia forced a smile, "I will think it over carefully. But he made an appointment with me for coffee, just for a few days."

"Yeah?"

"Yes."

"Is he also interested in you?"

"Um...I don't know." Lin Qingxia shook her head and went straight back to her room, leaving Qiong Yao confused.

She lay on the bed, tossing and turning for several hours, and her mind was filled with the image of Du Yongxiao taking a gulp of wine and then turning away.

"He is actually the Commissioner of Police? Or an Earl of the British Empire? How is this possible? It is unreasonable."

Lin Qingxia is a rational person, but the more this happens, the more confused she becomes.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and climbed up and came to the window. Just as she was about to open the window and take a breath, the bedside phone rang.

Lin Qingxia guessed who was calling. At this time, only he would call in person.

After hesitating, Lin Qingxia walked over and picked up the phone.

Sure enough, a gentle and magnetic man's voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "Axia, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Well, it's much better." Lin Qingxia said to Qin Han on the other side.

For some reason, Lin Qingxia used to look forward to Qin Han's phone calls, wishing that he would call her every day to talk to her.

Every time she heard Qin Han's voice, her heart would beat wildly, but now she no longer felt that way.

"Axia, I know that I have hurt you, and I also know that you have sacrificed a lot, but I hope you can give me a little more time. Yes, I will handle this matter well and not make you sad again."

"Handle it well, how to handle it well? Are you going to divorce your wife for me?" Lin Qingxia said angrily.

"Uh, this... I told you, divorce is a big or small matter, and I am a public figure."

"Then what are you going to do? Let me continue to wait?" Lin Qingxia said angrily.

"No, I know it's hard for you, but it's hard for me too. I have to face a lot of things and deal with a lot of people, so I hope -"

"Let's finish it."

"Huh?" Qin Han was stunned on the other end of the phone, suspecting that he heard wrongly. "I didn't hear what you said clearly."

"I said let's end it." Lin Qingxia gritted her teeth and said, "Ending this relationship, ending this relationship, there is no result anyway."

"Ahem, Axia, please don't be angry, okay? I know you still love me, and I know you said these things just to make me angry! I'm really in trouble..." Qin Han was so confident that Lin Qingxia loved him. Life and death, it is impossible to break up with yourself.

Unfortunately, this time he was wrong.

"No, don't say any more. Let's break up!" Lin Qingxia said decisively.

"Don't be like this, Axia! Don't be impulsive. You are not a child anymore. Why do you talk so childishly? We are going to break up at every turn. Did you leave me? Can you be happy without me? You said, I am your life, your support, and your spiritual support!”

"On the other hand, I can't live without you. You are my sun, my sunshine, and the oxygen I breathe every day... Axia, you are as charming as the first ray of sunshine in the morning. The first time I saw you was The eyes touch my heart, so I hope that the two of us can live in harmony and kiss each other for the rest of our lives! Even if we can’t be biwingbirds, we must learn to be Lian Lizhi.”

Qin and Han have made many movies about Qiong Yao, and they just throw in some flirty words.

In the past, Lin Qingxia would have liked his tricks and would be fascinated by these love words, but now her mind is filled with the shadow of Du Yongxiao.

For the first time in her life, she understood what "love at first sight" meant.

When Qin Han saw that Lin Qingxia remained silent, Xiao was still on the phone talking about their relationship and describing their future with great righteousness.

Sudden--

"I'm serious, let's break up!" Lin Qingxia interrupted Qin Han's conversation on the other end of the phone.

Qin Han was stunned, feeling that for the first time he was unable to grasp the other person's thoughts and guess what he was thinking.

"Axia, what did I do wrong? Why do you say this?" Qin Han began to reflect on himself, "Say it and I will change it."

"You didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I'm tired and don't want to do this again. I don't want to be a third party anymore." Lin Qingxia said decisively.

Qin Han was anxious: "Axia, don't do this! I know I must have done something wrong to make you say this!"

"You're really right."

"No, I was wrong! In this way, you can say whatever you want. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."

"Really? So now you fly from Treasure Island to Kyoto."

"Ah, this-"

"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"

"No, as you know, I have to send my children to school tomorrow, and my wife has not been feeling well these days..."

Lin Qingxia smiled sadly, "Okay, you don't have to say anything. Now I know better who is the most important in your heart!"

"Axia, I-"

Before Qin Han finished speaking, Lin Qingxia hung up the phone.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and shed tears.

This relationship,

Finish!

…

In fact, in this life, Lin Qingxia's relationship with Qin Han had just begun, and she also had an emotional entanglement with another male star Qin Xianglin, so much so that the "Two Qins Fighting for Lin" incident was reported.

Lin Qingxia and Qin Han were a golden pair on the Taiwanese screen in the 1970s.

When rumors spread about Lin Qingxia's affair with Qin Han, who had a wife, she was exhausted physically and mentally under accusations from all parties. At the end of 1980, Lin Qingxia left Taiwan to study in the United States. While studying in the United States, she decided to get engaged to Qin Xianglin. However, this engagement measure did not have much effect on suppressing the scandal. Lin Qingxia and Qin Han are still the focus of media attention.

Lin Qingxia already knew Qin Han when she was filming "Outside the Window", but it was only after she got engaged to Qin Xianglin that she realized that she cared more about Qin Han. As a result, Lin Qingxia broke off her engagement, Qin Han also divorced, and their love affair was exposed. In 1990, while filming "Red Dust", the silver couple Lin Qingxia and Qin Han reunited on the screen. Although the two spent less time together due to filming, Lin Qingxia hurt her eyes while filming "New Dragon Inn" in Dunhuang. On the day she returned to Hong Kong for medical treatment, Qin Han flew to accompany Lin Qingxia; when Lin Qingxia was filming "Ashes of Time", Qin Han also went to visit the team.

When everyone believed that Qin Han was Lin Qingxia's true love, the two finally broke up peacefully.

But in this life, due to the appearance of Du Yongxiao, Lin Qingxia slashed the love thread with her sword and directly ended her relationship with Qin and Han.

…

The next day——

Du Yongxiao invited Lin Qingxia to meet at the Kyoto Garden Cafe.

Qiong Yao will not let go of the opportunity to meet a super tycoon like Du Yongxiao. She nominally wants to help Lin Qingxia check the situation. In fact, she hopes that Du Yongxiao can invest in her superstar film company.

As we all know, Du Yongxiao has invested in Golden Harvest Film Company in Hong Kong, and also owns Fox and Paramount Pictures in Hollywood. He is also the owner of PolyGram Records. These alone are enough to attract many filmmakers.

Qiong Yao writes novels, but she is also ambitious and wants to gain a foothold in the film industry and make a fortune from her booming film career. Therefore, if you know Du Yongxiao, you can accumulate strong connections.

Lin Qingxia originally wanted to refuse Qiong Yao to come with her.

However, Qiong Yao packaged her very well, like an intimate big sister, which made Lin Qingxia embarrassed to refuse.

Du Yongxiao was also stunned when he saw Lin Qingxia bringing someone over.

Before Lin Qingxia could speak, Qiong Yao had already taken the initiative to reach out to Du Yongxiao: "Hello, Mr. Du! Nice to meet you. My surname is Chen, my name is Chen Zhe, my pen name is Qiong Yao, and I am a good friend of Miss Lin. This time I took the initiative too. Please forgive me for asking her to bring me to see you!"

Qiongyao?

Du Yongxiao was stunned when he heard this.

He has heard about this legendary "Queen of Romance" for a long time.

Qiong Yao and Jin Yong in the previous life were equally famous.

So much so that he is known as "Jin Yong in martial arts and Qiong Yao in romance".

Moreover, Qiong Yao is also the female writer with the most novels adapted into TV series and movies, and she is also the female writer who became a billionaire by writing books.

In this era of romance revival, Qiong Yao's copyright income was even higher than that of Jin Yong.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Chen." Du Yongxiao shook hands with Qiongyao.

Lin Qingxia looked on and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this.

Datou Wen and Zhuang Dingxian were protecting Du Yongxiao. When they heard Qiong Yao introduce herself, they couldn't help but murmur in private.

"Wow, it turns out she is Qiong Yao."

"What, you know him?"

"I don't know her, but my wife likes to watch her movies and novels." Datou Wen said, "The male and female protagonists in her movies are all crazy, and they will abandon everything for love, and even kill people and set fires, which is against morality! I don't like it. !”

Zhuang Dingxian nodded, "I know the girl and like her very much, but I am not interested in her either. Romance novels are not suitable for me. I still like Jin Yong, a great hero who serves the country and the people!"

Qiong Yao heard what the two were talking about. Qiong Yao smiled slightly and turned to look at the two of them: "I'm sorry, these two are-"

Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "My subordinate."

"Oh, really. It seems that he is not very well-educated and cannot appreciate poetry and songs. It is understandable that he likes some fighting and killing."

Datou Wen and Zhuang Dingxian didn't expect Qiong Yao to be so sharp-tongued, and they didn't know how to refute for a while.

Du Yongxiao knew that it was Da Tou Wen and the others who made mistakes in talking about others, so he smiled and said: "You guys go buy me a pack of cigarettes."

The two of them knew that Du Yongxiao was trying to ward them off, so they nodded and turned to leave.

Qiong Yao did not continue to "pursue" anymore. In terms of bickering, who can beat her, the romance queen?

The three of them sat down.

Du Yongxiao personally ordered coffee for them.

"Ms. Lin, I actually invited you here a few days ago because I have something to ask for." Du Yongxiao didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

Lin Qingxia's heart skipped a beat, thinking, he wouldn't be so direct, right? Is he trying to show me his affection? If I had known this, I wouldn't have let Sister Chen come with me, so shy.

Qiongyao was also stunned, and immediately imagined what Du Yongxiao wanted to ask for.

Is he really interested in Lin Qingxia? Yes, men are all lustful, and Qingxia is so beautiful, it's rare for a man not to be tempted.

"Ahem, just tell me what you have to say." Lin Qingxia coughed and picked up the coffee to pretend to be calm.

"I want to invite Miss Lin to join my film company, Hong Kong Golden Harvest!"

"Ah, what?" Lin Qingxia was stunned, and then she realized that she had misunderstood Du Yongxiao. It turned out that the other party wanted to invite her to join the company, not to show her affection.

Qiongyao was also shocked when she heard this.

What? The Du surnamed man actually wanted to poach Lin Qingxia to his company? What should I do? I am also planning to start a film company and officially enter the film industry.

Qiong Yao immediately told the analysis that she felt that she could not compare with Du Yongxiao in any aspect, and the only thing she could play was the emotional card for Lin Qingxia.

Du Yongxiao had no idea that the two women in front of him were in turmoil. Seeing that Lin Qingxia did not say anything, he thought she was hesitating, so he said: "I believe Miss Lin also knows that Golden Harvest is one of the largest film companies in Hong Kong, which is not comparable to those small companies. There are countless directors and artists under its banner, such as Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Zhao Yazhi, etc., who are now famous in the film industry."

After a pause, he continued: "If Miss Lin is interested in joining, I can assure you that the salary will be much higher than it is now, and your choice of filming will be stronger than it is now. At least we will not force you to do things you don't like."

Lin Qingxia's mind was in chaos, and Du Yongxiao's voice rang in her ears, but she was thinking in her heart that he just wanted me to join the company, and I thought too much.

Yes, he is so outstanding, there must be no shortage of women around him, just like Sister Chen said, he is the Commissioner of Police, an Earl of the British Empire, and a super tycoon, how can I be worthy of him?

Qiong Yao was also full of imagination at this moment.

It's over!

There's no hope!

The conditions he offered were too strong, how could I compete?

It looks like Axia is going to be poached by him!

No!

No!

I can't just sit there and wait for death!

I have to take the initiative.

Thinking of this, Qiong Yao immediately interrupted Du Yongxiao: "Mr. Du, actually I came here today to ask for something-"

"Oh, what is it?" Du Yongxiao looked at Qiong Yao in confusion. Thinking in his heart, romantic dramas are popular in this era, if this romantic queen is recruited, it is not impossible.
