Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

To Lin Daoqiu, fifty thousand yuan was just a drop in the bucket.

But this amount of money is a huge sum of money for Wu Mengda.

What he really couldn't figure out was that it was just the first time Lin Daoqiu met him, so why should he help him pay off his debt?

If it had been two years ago, when he had just finished starring in "Chu Liuxiang" and was becoming famous, perhaps Ng Man-tat would not have found it strange.

But now his reputation has become so bad that even the walk-on guys on the set look down on him.

How could a high-ranking man like Lin Daoqiu come to him specially and help him pay off his debt? Wu Mengda couldn't figure it out no matter what he thought.

Originally, those loan sharks were preparing to beat up Wu Mengda and teach him a lesson.

But after getting the money from Fang Jinsheng, their previously fierce expressions suddenly became very amiable.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin...Thank you, Mr. Lin."

They laughed and clasped their fists at Lin Daoqiu to thank him. After all, they were able to recover this money. In their opinion, it was almost impossible to get back the money. It was an unexpected surprise.

"Okay, you can leave. Remember to send the IOU to New Oriental tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we will deliver the IOU to your company on time tomorrow."

Lin Daoqiu had no intention of chatting with them anymore. He waved his hand, and those people left immediately without looking back.

Now that the money has been obtained, whether Ng Man-tat lives or dies has nothing to do with them.

"Uncle Da, do you have time? I have something I want to talk to you about."

As soon as Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wu Mengta nodded immediately, as if he was worried that the other party would change his mind.

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I don't have anything now, but I have plenty of time."

He has nothing to lose now. If he can be appreciated by Lin Daoqiu, then he will make a huge comeback.

Lin Daoqiu just smiled, and then the two of them got into his Rolls-Royce.

After getting on the bus, Wu Mengda sat upright, not even daring to fill his buttocks, so he only sat half full.

Lin Daoqiu now not only became his creditor, but also the person who could pull him out of hell. No wonder Wu Mengda treated him so carefully.

"I heard that Uncle Da's recent situation is not very good?"

Lin Daoqiu was asking questions knowingly. Wu Mengda was not only in a bad situation now, this situation had lasted for more than a year.

But this is all because he committed suicide himself, and no one else is to blame, so Wu Mengda has nothing to complain about.

"To be honest, Mr. Lin, I was bankrupt before and now I can't even find a job. I haven't been on TV for a long time."

The more Wu Mengda talked, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he still kept an awkward smile on his face.

After I became somewhat famous, I became arrogant and thought I was very smart and had great acting skills.

Then he started to be late all the time and didn't concentrate on acting. Then he became addicted to gambling. As a result, he lost all his savings and owed loan sharks.

To be honest, no matter who these things happened to, they would probably be considered hopeless.

"Some people say that you know your destiny at fifty. Uncle Da is only 28 years old this year. There is still a lot of time to save. It depends on whether you are willing to do it."

In fact, Ng Man Tat is only 7 years older than Lin Daoqiu. He always calls him "Da Shu Da Shu", which makes Wu Mang Tat a little weird.

But he didn't dare to correct Lin Daoqiu, so he had to let the other party yell like this. Anyway, as long as Lin Daoqiu was happy.

"I have really completely changed my mind. I have vowed not to gamble anymore. I want to start a new life, but I have never been able to get the chance. They all think that I am hopeless. They think I must be rich.

I'll bet on it."

Ng Man Tat is actually very helpless. He has completely quit gambling since he went bankrupt, but no one believes that he can quit gambling.

Everyone thinks that a person like him will only be a promiscuous gambler in his life.

If Lin Daoqiu was not a time traveler, I am afraid he would not think that Wu Mengda could really change his mind and start a new life.

"I don't know about other people, but I believe in Uncle Da. I believe that you can definitely quit gambling and start a new life."

During this period of time, except for his wife, no one had ever said such a thing to him, and everyone else regarded him as a piece of shit.

So when Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, Wu Mengda looked at the other party in shock. He did not expect that Lin Daoqiu would believe him.

Because he was so excited, Wu Mengda's eyes were red and tears could not stop flowing out.

Wu Mengda quickly wiped his tears with his clothes, and looked at Lin Daoqiu with gratitude.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for trusting me. I...I will definitely work hard. I promise I will never gamble in the future, otherwise I will chop off my hand."

Wu Mengda didn't know how many times he had sworn such a poisonous oath before, but for him, such a poisonous oath had no binding force at all.

Although Lin Daoqiu knew that Wu Mengda was telling the truth, in order to prevent him from resurrecting, he had to help him.

"Since Uncle Da said this, I definitely believe you, but you must remember what you said today. If I find you gambling again in the future, you will not be able to save your hands. I am definitely not kidding.

"

Wu Mengda, who had been very touched just now, immediately felt a chill running down his back when he heard what Lin Daoqiu said.

"This is a ten-year contract, with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, plus film remuneration. Take a look at it and sign it if you think it's okay."

When he arrived, Lin Daoqiu had already prepared a contract.

Although the salary of three thousand yuan is not much, it is definitely enough to maintain a family's daily expenses.

Wu Mengda took the contract handed over by Lin Daoqiu and signed his name without even looking at it.

For him, this contract is extremely lucrative. Now he just wants to work, film more movies, and then work hard to make money to pay off his debts.

As for the thoughts of becoming a big star, he has long forgotten them.

"This is three thousand yuan, which is the salary I paid you in advance."

He handed the money to Wu Mengda, but after the other party took the money, Lin Daoqiu suddenly added: "Remember, if you gamble once, your hand will be gone."

After finishing speaking, Lin Daoqiu smiled and patted the other party on the shoulder.

After getting out of the car, Wu Mengda stood on the street and watched Lin Daoqiu's car drive away. Even now, he feels like he was just dreaming.

Touching the three thousand yuan in his pocket, Wu Mengda felt that from today on, his unlucky life would come to an end.
