On the bustling streets, vehicles and horses flowed as the crowd surged!
Ye Feng and Xiao Cui walked quietly on the sidewalk, looking at the prosperous shops on both sides of the road and the dense, noisy crowd, feeling a sense of daze!
Hong Kong and Jiangcheng were completely different worlds; here, the neon lights flickered, and the place was a thousand, no, ten thousand times busier than Jiangcheng!
"Xiao Cui! How did you come to Hong Kong? And became an actress?"
Ye Feng looked at Xiao Cui, who was innocently staring at him, laughed softly, and then asked in confusion.
Xiao Cui's pretty face blushed slightly, seeing Ye Feng as if a ray of hope had been injected into her confused life, making her extremely happy:
"Brother Ye Zi, after you left, I went to Jiangnan City with Ximeng to look for you, but at that time, you had gone to Africa, so I followed Ximeng to Hong Kong!"
Xiao Cui did not mention that she had come to Hong Kong to follow in Ye Feng's footsteps and work hard; she slowly recounted her experiences:
"Ximeng always said that Hong Kong is a place full of miracles! After arriving, Ximeng wanted to send me to further my studies, but I refused! By chance, I played a small role, and I discovered that I am very well-suited to be an actress!"
Xiao Cui smiled bitterly for a while; perhaps she had never considered for all those years that she would become an actress, even though she was just a minor character now!
"Do you like being an actress?" Ye Feng was startled, he had not noticed this about her either!
"It's not about liking, it's about being suited!"
Xiao Cui smiled very sweetly and happily:
"Many directors have told me that I have a talent for acting! Moreover, I have a photographic memory. I only need to glance at the script to know what I should do!"
"Photographic memory? Right! I actually forgot about your ability!"
Ye Feng smiled; Xiao Cui was an extremely talented girl when she was in school. If not for her and Gua Wa's family poverty and the rural preference for boys over girls, Xiao Cui might already be a university student at a prestigious college by now!
"Since you're willing to be an actress, why didn't you let Ximeng arrange some good roles for you?" Ye Feng was puzzled, as Zhang Ximeng was TVB's top star, and it shouldn't be difficult to get Xiao Cui some supporting roles!
However, Xiao Cui shook her head:
"Ximeng suggested that, but I didn't agree! I'm not a professionally trained actress, and I still need to learn a lot of acting skills, and playing small roles right now suits me best! In these two months of playing small roles, I've learned a lot and understood a lot!"
Seeing Xiao Cui's determined expression, Ye Feng was amazed!
He just realized that in addition to being clever, Xiao Cui was willing to stay grounded and possessed a tenacity that many girls lacked!
Thinking of this, Ye Feng felt relieved, knowing that the little girl who used to tag along behind him had finally grown up!
"Keep acting well, I'm waiting for you to become Queen of the screen one day!" Ye Feng ruffled Xiao Cui's hair affectionately.
Feeling the warmth of the large hand on her head, Xiao Cui's cheeks grew even more flushed, and she nodded firmly:
"Brother Ye Zi, don't worry, I will definitely become Queen of the screen one day!"
Seeing the girl so resolute, Ye Feng nodded and smiled!
Perhaps even Ye Feng hadn't anticipated that his words would create a myth in the film industry, a super movie Queen who almost swept all the best actress awards globally!
At the moment, the two had passed the noisy hustle and came to an old-fashioned residential building!
This residential building seemed to be from the 1990s, and in front of it was a vast courtyard, from which came the constant buzzing noise and clamor!
Seeing the confusion on Ye Feng's face, Xiao Cui explained with a smile:
"Ximeng sister invited me to move in and live with her, but because I need to rush between various drama crews as a walk-on, the locations aren't fixed, so I didn't agree!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded and then turned his gaze towards the courtyard in front of the residential building, asking with puzzlement:
"What is that courtyard for? Why is the noise so loud?"
Ye Feng heard the buzzing of machinery friction and many people's loud chatter. In front of the courtyard, there were even a line of luxury cars parked there, like a grand auto show!
Logically, so many luxury cars shouldn't be in front of such an old residential building, making the scene seem somewhat bizarre!
"That's a jade gambling venue!"
Xiaocui explained:
"Inside, there are raw jade stones transported from Myanmar. Many rich people flock here to buy those raw stones, cut them open on the spot, and gamble on the quality of the jade inside!"
After hearing it was a jade gambling venue, Ye Feng's eyes lit up, but he didn't say much and immediately proceeded to go upstairs with Xiaocui!
The stairwell inside the building was dimly lit, the walls plastered with small ads, making it look chaotic and disordered. Before they even reached the floor of Xiaocui's rented room, they heard bursts of sound!
Xiaocui paused, then after taking one look at her own room's door, she was shocked!
She saw two women and one man standing outside her room at that moment, and at the doorway, bedding and pots and pans were piled up, presenting the appearance of a move!
"What are you doing? These are my things!"
Xiaocui was both shocked and angry, hurrying forward!
When those three people saw Xiaocui returning, they were momentarily stunned, followed by one middle-aged woman saying:
"Xiaocui, you can move out now! I've already rented this place to someone else!"
"What!"
Xiaocui looked at her landlord, her pretty face turning ugly in an instant, but when she saw the other young and beautiful woman, her face became even more ashen:
"Xue Jing! It's you!"
"Of course, it's me!"
The woman was slender and fashionable, now using a handkerchief to cover her nose with a clean and proud demeanor. She looked at Xiaocui playfully for a moment, disdainfully saying:
"What? You stole my role, can I not steal your room?"
This woman named Xue Jing was previously an actress in the same crew as Xiaocui, but after the crew downsized and she got cut, Xiaocui replaced Xue Jing's role, which caused Xue Jing to hold a grudge.
Looking at Xue Jing, Xiaocui was so angry that her delicate body trembled:
"The crew arranged the role for me, I didn't steal your role!"
"Hmph! Xiaocui, stop acting for me! I'm not that blind and stupid director! Acting in front of me is useless!"
The woman, although very beautiful, had a sharp and acid tongue:
"Let me tell you! I've secured this room for rent! You pack up your stuff and get the hell out for me now!"
Hearing the woman's words, another middle-aged woman seemed to feel somewhat sorry for Xiaocui, so she spoke up:
"Xiaocui, this lady is offering me two thousand a month in rent, double what you're paying. I advise you to quickly pack up and leave! I will return the rest of your rent!"
