Chapter 73

Looking at the slightly surprised expression on Leslie Cheung's face, Wu Cheng smiled. What a familiar face! It was great to see the living and breathing Big Brother standing right in front of him!

"I'll consult with my younger uncle!" Wu Shulan said, then turned and pulled Wu Cheng to the side, whispering, "Younger Uncle, please help me get his contact information, I beg you!"

Wu Cheng was speechless. "You don't have to go that far! Just one meeting, and you're already smitten? What about your dignity? Is it just because he's handsome? Do you even know what kind of person he is? Besides, do you really need my help to ask for his contact information? You're a strong woman, a queen!"

"Once I get to know him, I'll know what kind of person he is!" Wu Shulan rolled her eyes and added, "If I ask him myself, what will he think of me? You can't just stand by and watch your niece be looked down upon! So, will you help me or not?"

Wu Cheng furrowed his brow in confusion, his lips twitching slightly. "I have a question for you. If... I mean, if I hadn't appeared in Hong Kong and hadn't saved your Urban Entertainment News, where would you be now?"

In the previous life, in Leslie Cheung's world, there probably wasn't a woman named Wu Shulan!

"I can't really say for sure!" Wu Shulan shook her head. "But I think I would have gone to the United States! After all, I studied there for a few years and got used to the life there. I have many friends there, and there would be more opportunities... I probably wouldn't stay in Hong Kong. You know, the people at home can be quite annoying!"

Wu Cheng estimated that without his appearance, after the old man passed away, the Wu family in Hong Kong would have quickly disbanded, and they would have gone their separate ways.

After some thought, Wu Cheng gave up on these strange thoughts. In this life, because of his appearance, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong had already changed a lot. Sammo Hung was not at Golden Harvest, and Jackie Chan had not yet found a godfather and was still working hard at Eastern Dragon. Joey Wong had not married early, and Brigitte Lin had not been involved in a love triangle with the two Chins...

So, Big Brother definitely wouldn't have been tricked into filming a nude scene in his first film.

Thinking about filming, Wu Cheng thought of a role, the composer Shi Junmai in "A Better Tomorrow." Wu Cheng felt that Big Brother was very suitable for this role, with his long hair, he looked incredibly artistic. Isn't that right?

"Ten meals!" Wu Cheng held up a hand.

"Five meals!" Wu Shulan held up three fingers.

"Deal!"

"Foodie!"

Returning to Leslie Cheung's stall, Wu Shulan quickly completed a simple transaction with him, buying the pair of jeans for Wu Cheng.

Then, Wu Cheng took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Leslie Cheung, saying, "My name is..."

" Wu Cheng... So it really is you!" Leslie Cheung looked at the business card in his hand, somewhat excitedly. "I thought you looked familiar, like I had seen you somewhere. I didn't expect it to really be you! Hello, hello, I'm Leslie Cheung, my English name is Leslie. You can call me Rongzi or Leslie!"

"I'll call you Rongshao!" Wu Cheng smiled. "This is Wu Shulan, my niece!"

"Ah! So she really is your niece!" Leslie Cheung looked at Wu Shulan somewhat dazedly, making her blush and scold, "What? Can't I have a younger uncle?"

"Ah! No, no, I just... just..."

"Alright, Alan, look at how Rongshao is blushing!"

Leslie Cheung looked embarrassed, smiled bitterly, and apologized to Wu Shulan, "I'm sorry, Miss Wu, I didn't mean to. I was just curious. Actually, it's not strange, because my family is like that too. My eldest sister is seventeen or eighteen years older than me!"

Hearing this, Wu Shulan also felt relieved and said, "Our family is the same!"

Wu Cheng looked at her speechlessly, then smiled and said, "Rongshao, I think you..."

"Mr. Wu, please don't call me Rongshao, it sounds a bit strange!"

Wu Cheng laughed heartily, "It's just a nickname, don't take it too seriously. You should be more relaxed. 'Rongshao' suits you. And don't call me Mr. Wu, just call me Cheng. If I asked you to call me 'Chengzi,' you might feel embarrassed."

Leslie Cheung also smiled, "Since you call me 'Rongshao,' I'll call you 'Chengshao.'"

"Sure, whatever!" Wu Cheng shrugged indifferently and then smiled, "Since you know who I am, you must also know what I do..."

"Of course, I know. I've seen all the films produced by Eastern Dragon, especially the scene where you and Miss Teresa Teng played the piano together, it was really cool. I also went to Miss Teresa Teng's concert. I didn't expect Chengshao to be so good at writing songs!"

Wu Cheng chuckled, "Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you! I think your image is very good, suitable for the screen. I'm preparing a film, and there's a role that would be perfect for you... Also, your voice is very distinctive. You look sunny and handsome, but your voice is deep and hoarse. With a bit of training, you could easily become a singer. Are you interested in pursuing this? If you are, remember to call me, I can introduce you to a couple of masters, and I'm sure you'll have a broader and smoother path in music."

"About that..."

Leslie Cheung was a bit hesitant. He liked singing, but he hadn't really thought about acting.

Wu Cheng smiled, "You don't have to decide right away. You can think about it. Even if you don't want to become an artist, we can still be friends! Can you give me your contact information?"

"Sure, wait a moment, I'll write it down for you!" Leslie Cheung said, took out a pen and paper, and left his contact information for Wu Cheng, then added, "I'll think carefully about your suggestion."

"The film will start shooting around August. It's best if you reply to me in advance. The role isn't very big, but it's absolutely perfect for you. If you reply sooner, I can also introduce you to a couple of music masters and help you learn some music theory. In the film, you'll play a composer, and I'm not worried about your artistic side, but you'll need to understand some professional knowledge to portray the character convincingly."

"No problem, I'll think about it carefully!"

...

After saying goodbye to Leslie Cheung, Wu Cheng noticed that Wu Shulan seemed a bit distracted.

Wu Cheng was speechless and said, "My little niece, do you have to be so dramatic! It's just one meeting, did he really steal your heart?"

"Hasn't Uncle ever heard of love at first sight?" Wu Shulan said confidently. "And you have the nerve to say me? You and my future aunt were the same, clinging to each other after just one meeting. How old were you then? You can't laugh at me for being a step behind!"

"Alright, I was going to give you some advice, but now I'm not in a good mood!"

Seeing Wu Cheng looking melancholy and gazing at the stars, waiting for her to fall into his trap, Wu Shulan couldn't vent her frustration and could only grit her teeth in frustration. Finally, she smiled sweetly and said, "My dear younger uncle, your niece knows she was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Ten meals!" Wu Cheng gestured, "I'll give you a free tip."

Wu Shulan's lips twitched, but she finally smiled and said, "Please, Uncle, don't be stingy with your advice!"

Wu Cheng laughed heartily and then asked, "Has Big Sister been forcing you to go on blind dates recently?"

Hearing this, Wu Shulan's smile immediately faded, and she said, "Can we continue this conversation properly?"

"This is very important! Knowing your enemy is key to victory, you have to trust me!"

Wu Shulan felt that Wu Cheng was no different from a charlatan at this moment, and he seemed to be trying to deceive her. But she was really curious about what advice Wu Cheng would give her, so she agreed.

"She's always bothering me, thinking I can't get married. It's really annoying. I'm not even as old as my aunt! Even though I look a bit more mature, it's because of my job!"

"That's simple. Just call Rongshao and ask him for help!"

"Help? How can he help?"

"Ask him to pretend to be your boyfriend!" Wu Cheng smiled. "This way, you'll have a chance to get to know him, and you'll also have an excuse to tell Big Sister. As for what happens next, it's up to you. But I have to tell you, Rongshao is a very sensitive person. You can see this from how he introduced the jeans to us. He thought about what you might want... This kind of person is definitely worth befriending. But because he's sensitive, he can be particularly emotional."

"You can see all that, Uncle? You're really amazing!"

"If I weren't, how could I manage so many companies and so many people?"

"You're just being arrogant!" Wu Shulan slightly despised him and then asked, "What else did you notice?"

"He's also very straightforward and a bit impulsive, which is because he's young. You could see this when he showed curiosity about you being my niece. So, when you're with him, you need to be prepared. If he gets impulsive and confesses or even proposes to you, you need to be able to handle it! Don't let it scare you away, or you might lose even the chance to be friends."

"Wow! It can't be that extreme!" Wu Shulan seemed startled. "Is he really that kind of person? That's too bizarre!"

"Do you still want to get to know him?" Wu Cheng smiled lightly. "Let me tell you, he is that kind of person. He's very stubborn. If he thinks you're the woman he's looking for, he'll definitely confess, and even propose, even if you haven't known each other for long... But don't worry, he probably won't like you!"

"Go to hell! Underestimating me! Am I not pretty enough? Not graceful enough?"

Wu Shulan struck a pose, smiling.

"Because you're a queen! Ha ha..."

"Get lost!"
