No. 89, Repulse Bay.

early morning.

The sun shines into the room, and it is so quiet that only the chirping of birds can be heard.

There are very few cars passing by the door, and there are no residents upstairs playing music and doing exercises, disturbing others since early in the morning.

I rented an apartment some time ago, and I don’t know who lives upstairs.

Anyway, he often stays awake late at night, with the head of the bed banging against the wall and the sound of a woman crying, which is so unscrupulous.

This left Fan Wumian with nothing to do but admire while trying to sleep silently.

Anyway, it's only two or three minutes long, sometimes I can just daydream for a while and then it's over so it's not too much of a disturbance.

Living in a new home, there is no such worry.

When he got up and went to the dining room, the maid named Mrs. Wu had already prepared breakfast for him, a bowl of fragrant braised beef noodles.

Tasting the tender chunks of beef brisket, Fan Wumian said to Mrs. Wu:

"It tastes great. Last night you told me to cook noodles. I thought you were just going to make some. You got up early in the morning and cooked them, right? Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble. I'm not a picky eater."

Mrs. Wu previously worked as a maid in the home of a senior executive of Standard Chartered Bank for a total of six years. Some time ago, her employer moved back to the UK to settle down, so she had to resign and look for a new job.

A good servant is hard to come by.

When Fan Wumian finished reading her impressive resume, he discovered that her three work experiences were all of relatively long duration, which meant that the employer could not find fault with her work, so he decisively signed her for HK$15 a year.

The reason why many middle-class people in Hong Kong hire Filipino maids is not because they are so capable, but because they are relatively cheap.

Mrs. Wu, 42 years old this year, is different. She comes from the neighboring city of Australia.

When he was young, he opened a tea restaurant. Later, the shop was demolished to build an apartment building. He moved to another location and opened a new tea restaurant, but the business never recovered. So he changed his career and became a servant to support his two children to go to school.

It is still in the probation period. Mrs. Wu, wearing an apron, smiled and waved her hand and said:
"It's no trouble! I go to bed at 9:5 pm and wake up at am every morning. If I have nothing to do later, I want to go to Stanley to buy some food. What do you want to eat?"

Fan Wumian named several dishes, including braised pork with radish, meatball and vegetable soup, stir-fried shredded pork with garlic sprouts, etc. These were all home-cooked dishes that he had wanted to eat for a long time but had not come across recently.

It is very close to Repulse Bay from Happy Valley where Zhuang Muxi lives.

Miss Zuo, who happened to have finished her exams, was going to Singapore for a few days with her parents.

As soon as Mrs. Wu left, Fan Wumian asked his bodyguard Brother Qian to drive to the Leighton Hill in Happy Valley to pick up Zhuang Muxi.

She completed her two elective courses, "Music" and "Chinese Literature", before the four major courses, which means that with the completion of the major courses, Zhuang Muxi's DSE secondary school diploma examination has ended.

He made an excuse that he wanted to discuss filming.

However, the bodyguard Brother Qian had seen the scandal between Fan Wumian and her, and guessed that it might not be that simple.

Out of professional ethics, I have long been accustomed to not asking about my employer's private life. In fact, even if I don't make excuses, it's no big deal.
Sitting in a luxury sports car, we arrived at the mansion in Repulse Bay.

After buying the house, Zhuang Muxi came to visit it for the first time. Even though he had seen photos of it, he was still shocked.

The fountain at the door was open, with clear water flowing. A circular sun pattern was printed on the spacious bronze door.

After Fan Wumian showed her around, he entered the house.

While Mrs. Wu is out buying groceries and hasn't come back yet.

The two of them visited the living room, kitchen, private cinema, wine cellar and indoor swimming pool.

Then he came to the bedroom and left traces of Zhuang Muxi in the jacuzzi in the bathroom.

Turn on the shower.

Wash away the foamy palm prints she left on the wall tiles.

After a while, Zhuang Muxi has been able to adapt and has become addicted to such small activities.

After drying her hair, she came to the window to bask in the sun. Her complexion was rosy. She looked out at the sea view of Repulse Bay and asked in a low voice:

"There are other people in your new home. Will our relationship be spread out?"

"I signed a confidentiality agreement, and I will be given an additional bonus. I am not married and I don't have any children, so who would mind my business?"

Fan Wumian reached out and pinched Zhuang Muxi's cheek, hugged her and added:

"I think it's better for me to have more scandals while I'm still young. As long as there's nothing to ruin, I won't have to worry about whether it will ruin in the future. For example, director Wang Jing has been involved in a lot of gossips, but the actresses who work with him are envied by others. If he easily establishes an image of a good man, he may end up dying miserably."

Get the job done.

There is no more pressure of exams.

Zhuang Muxi felt relaxed and said with a smile:
"This morning, a teacher in charge of admissions at the Central Conservatory of Music contacted me and asked me how the exam went. I replied that it was pretty good. You want to study in the acting department. There should be a lot of beautiful classmates in the school. How can you lack scandals then?"

It sounded like a test.

Fan Wumian shook his head and explained:
"I also took the art exam, and most of them are actually quite ordinary. When it comes to beauties, there are more at the Central Conservatory of Music and the Beijing Dance Academy. Some of them are like you, who have been learning dance or music since childhood, so it's easy for them to cultivate their temperament."

Zhuang Muxi said:
"In fact, I envied my friends who were learning to dance. I am quite flexible and can do splits and backbends."

Fan Wumian was shocked, blinked his eyes and said:
"Really? I don't believe it unless you try it now. The floor is a little dirty. Go to the bed."

"."

Zhuang Muxi understood and said with a smile: "Forget about it today. The car downstairs from you was on the news yesterday. The license plate number 9999 is really nice."

Hong Kong had already issued all the license plates with pure numbers in the early 50s, and "9999" was the last one.

"I can only say it's OK. When I was getting the license plate, I happened to come across an auction held by the Transport Department. I spent 83 Hong Kong dollars to buy this license plate. The license plate with pure numbers 1 to 9 is really amazing. It could be sold for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars more than a decade ago. The boss of the Yingwang Group owns the number 9 plate, and the number 6 plate belongs to Uncle Six."

In order to get the license, Fan Wumian specifically checked these.

He sighed and added:
"In fact, I regretted it after I bought it. I should have used the money to buy some stocks."

"Recently, I've been in a dilemma of feeling bad about spending money but also wanting to improve my quality of life. After all, I'm not a rich kid who grew up with a lot of money, so it feels inappropriate to spend a lot of money on useless things. For example, I just planted a few pine trees, which cost me about 90 yuan in total."

"Buying a house is not considered spending money. I bought this place mainly for investment. As long as the appreciation rate exceeds the interest, I will make money, and I can live here for free during the period."

Zhuang Muxi took his hand:
"It's the same everywhere. People like to compete with each other in everything, and associate houses and luxury cars with face. Recently, my family moved to a new house, and some of my parents' colleagues came to visit and also wanted to replace their old house. Some people even wanted to take out a loan of 5 million or 6 million Hong Kong dollars. The pressure is huge."

Fan Wumian reminded:

"When it comes to investment, don't give advice to others unless you are absolutely sure. This kind of thing is thankless, but when you make money from filming, I can help you plan it. In fact, there is no need to rush to pay off your mortgage."

We chatted about all sorts of things.

Consider in advance that you will have a date with Zhuang Muxi here.

When hiring Mrs. Wu to come over to work, Fan Wumian had already made it a point to say that when there were guests at home, there was no need for Mrs. Wu to help entertain them.

After resting, continue morning exercise.

Fan Wumian persuaded and persuaded Zhuang Muxi to finally perform the splits. She gritted her teeth and regretted that she should not have mentioned this matter.

In public, she is a piano goddess with full of temperament, purity and beauty, but when she is with others in private, she is quite relaxed.

I dawdled until noon.

I gave her everything I could.

After lunch, she asked Mrs. Wu to drive her home. Accompanied by her bodyguard Brother Qian, Fan Wumian went to Repulse Bay, walked barefoot on the beach, and admired the sea view up close.

Then he went to Sapphire Blue Records Studio to complete the recording of his second album.

That evening.

Youpia, Mantis and others came to visit as a group and had a meal together in the restaurant.

I had always heard about how much money Fan Wumian made and what he bought, but I had never seen it with my own eyes.

They were obviously deeply stimulated, and each of them was a little restrained, as if they had seen another side of their big brother. Even though they had prepared themselves mentally in advance, they were still a little uncomfortable.

period.

The old bird king counted on his fingers and said jokingly:

"It's worthy of being called Repulse Bay. I feel the design of the house is great and the area is ridiculously large. If I have the chance, I would also like to buy it, but life expectancy is a shortcoming. If I rely on working to save money, I need to live to 2000 years old."

Mantis nodded and continued:
"I've only seen such spacious restaurants on TV shows before, and I'm even more determined to become a security guard. Don't compete with me for this."

In the past, we were all happy together despite being poor.

Fan Wumian suddenly left these close friends far behind. If he didn't pay a little attention, he might not even have friends with them in the future.

It’s not that we are biased against the poor and love the rich, it’s just that we live in different circles and it’s easy for us to gradually lack common topics.

When getting along with Zuo Ziyan, Zhuang Muxi and others, you can also chat about investment and entertainment matters. If that doesn't work, there's nothing wrong with just doing it without talking.

The topics to talk about with these bad friends are gradually becoming fewer and fewer.

Sometimes, things that seem very common to Fan Wumian now may sound like showing off to his best friends.

For example, if they spend 83 to buy a license plate with "9999", they may think that this money is enough to buy two cars, and it takes ten years of working to save that much.

Therefore, Fan Wumian could only be careful and try to speak less and listen more.

now.

He wiped his mouth with paper and asked:
"After the exam yesterday, did anyone feel that they would not pass? If you don't want to repeat the year, I can help you arrange a job, but I'll make it clear in advance that you can only live a decent life at best. If you want to become rich and powerful, you have to rely on your own abilities."

"Even my dad has started to turn back from his wrong path and seize the opportunity to make movies and become a star. You are still young, how can you be worse than him?"

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t go to a school in Hong Kong, but some schools have lower entry requirements, so it’s better to learn.”

After hearing these words.

Mantis, Oilfat and the others looked at each other and raised their hands.

Ask each person their thoughts one by one.

For Lao Si, who has always been obsessed with watching DVDs and has seen countless movies, Fan Wumian suggested that he go for training. Even if he cannot become a director, he can help out in the crew.

Mantis and Oil Fat, if you want to try to be an actor, you also need systematic learning.

As for the old Five Bird King, he hasn’t figured out what to do for the time being.

Fan Wumian will ignore him for now, and will make a decision when he has considered it carefully in the future...
