Although he had already determined that this person was not Lin Nan, it was still difficult for Qiao Wen's mood to remain completely calm when he saw such a similar face.

And his subtle reaction obviously fell into Lin Zi Rui's eyes.

The other party looked into his slightly flickering black eyes, hooked up the corners of his mouth, and laughed softly, "Mr. Qiao, do I look scary? Why does it seem like you're intimidated by me?"

Such a gentle tone was indeed very different from the flamboyant and reckless Lin Nan. Qiao Wen returned to his senses, seeing that his forehead was still glistening with a bit of sweat, he had obviously finished playing, and laughed, "I was just watching the game, I didn't notice anyone around me, so I was a bit surprised. Mr. Lin came to play ball?"

Lin Zi Rui nodded his head and sighed rather helplessly, "As you know, my father passed away, I just took over Lin Group, I'm so busy every day, it's hard for me to find some time to move around." Saying that, looking towards the old and young who are sweating on the court, he added, "Mr. Chen's skills are good, and can be on par with Old Mr. Park. Old Mr. Park could have won the Grand Prize of the Amateur Competition when he was young."

When Qiao Wen heard him praise him like this, his gaze fell on Chen Canaan's athletic body, and he actually felt some honor with him, only his tone remained flat: "Nan's athletic ability is indeed good."

Lin Zi Rui looked at him and added, "I heard that you and Zi Hui are close friends, have you known each other for a long time?"

Jovian nodded, "Well, it's been a couple years."

Lin Zi Rui sighed tersely like he was ashamed, "Zi Hui and I haven't lived together since we were young, and I, as a big brother, have not been able to fulfill my responsibilities as an elder brother, thanks to the fact that he has you good brothers."

Qiao Wen did not move and glanced at the man, if he skimmed off the almost identical facial features and looks with Lin Nan, the man's expression and demeanor eyes, all of them were a British model of a noble gentleman, gentlemanly and gentle, and even with a natural and decent innocence.

He smiled and laughed, "Blood is thicker than water for blood brothers, if Mr. Lin has this heart, Zi Hui should be happy."

Lin Zi Rui smiled and nodded, saying, "Since you guys are Zi Hui's friends, there's no need to be so formal with me, just call me Jeffrey."

Jovian smiled, "Well then Jeffrey you call me Vin like Zihui."

"Okay, Arwen."

Chen Canaan and Park Runze finally finished their game, and I don't know whether it was because they were really not as skilled as their elders, or because they respected their elders and let the ball go, but he, the youngster, lost to the old uncle by a single ball.

Park Runze was over sixty years old, and at this moment, his physical strength was at its limit, and he was contentedly walking towards the opposite side of the room.

Lin Zi Rui stood up, walked forward, and said courteously, "Shibei is truly as elegant as ever."

Park Runze laughed and shook his head, ''Jeffrey, your mouth is still the same as when you were a child. Nowadays, the burden of both the Lin and Zhong families is on your shoulders, so you need to work hard. When I first came to Hong Kong City, your grandfather helped me a lot, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to repay him, you are his only grandson, if there's anything we elders can do to help, just ask."

Lin Zi Rui smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Shibei."

Park Runze looked at Chen Canaan and Qiao Wen and casually asked, "These two are your friends?"

Lin Zi Rui laughed: "Does Uncle Shi not care about the movie industry anymore? These two are the founders of Wen Nan Film, the rising stars of the Hong Kong City movie industry nowadays, the box office champions of the past two years are all from them."

Wen Nan Pictures and Chen Jia Ban were well known, and of course, Bo Runze knew the great names of Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan, only that he lived in deep seclusion and had never met them before, failing to connect these two late bloomers with the two young bosses in the newspaper.

If it were usual, when he met the younger generation in the circle, he would naturally say some encouraging words to show the manners of the seniors. But because Wen Nan was preparing for the movie awards recently, and even got him to be the chairman of the jury, which made him feel that these young people were too much of a fame hunter, and when he heard the identity of the two men, he immediately lost his good looks.

He sank his face, walked to the side, took the towel out of his gym bag, wiped the sweat from his face, and said in a cold voice, "If you guys are looking for me to talk about the movie awards jury, it's best to get rid of it while you can, I'll never be in the same boat as you young people who are so eager to get what they want."

Qiao Wen couldn't help but cry and laugh at this old gentleman's misunderstanding as he said, "Elder Park, we really don't run the film awards for the sake of fame and fortune, we just want to make a contribution to the Hong Kong City film industry."

Bo Zerun turned around and slanted him a glance, "If you really want to make a contribution, make more good movies instead of doing everything for the box office." Saying that, he shook his head in disgust, "Now this circle is simply pandemonium, actors don't act properly, they are busy shooting advertisements and doing activities all day long. Don't think I don't know, this is the trend driven by an agency under your Wen Nan Film, and now everywhere you go there are celebrity advertisements."

Qiao Wen laughed, "We also want the actors to make more money, have no worries afterward, and focus on filming."

Bo Runze snorted coldly, "Every day you are busy shooting advertisements and doing activities, can you concentrate on shooting a movie? Besides, an actor's income from one movie can catch up with ordinary people for a few years, so what's not to be satisfied with."

Qiao Wen laughed and said, "Being an actor is all about the right time and place, when you are popular, of course, you are surrounded by stars, but who knows how many years you can be popular, and not every actor can be like Park, who became a titan of the movie industry, and even if he doesn't come out for more than ten years, he won't be forgotten."

Although Bo Runze felt that this latter boy spoke a few points of truth, but for a moment he was also unwilling to be convinced by a brat, he sneered, greeted his nephew who had just urinated and asked him to carry his bag, and said to Lin Zi Rui, "Jeffrey, I'm leaving, come to the house for dinner when you have the time, your auntie has read about you many times."

"Definitely," Jeffrey nodded with a smile, "Take care Seppo."

Qiao Wen and Chen Canaan also said in unison, "Take care, Elder Park."

Bo Zerun snorted lightly and left with his arms folded, the back of his head held high, at a glance it was an arrogant and obstinate old man.

When the person walked away, Chen Canaan tsked and bristled, "This old gentleman is really difficult." He seemed to notice Lin Zi Rui at that moment and eeped, "Aren't you big brother Zi Hui?"

Lin Zi Rui smiled and nodded, "Mr. Chen's ball skills are very good!"

Chen Canaan waved his hand, "Just call me Anan, we rough people can't hear such a civilized title as Mr. Chen."

His self-positioning was quite accurate, he didn't float up because he was rich and famous, Qiao Wen was amused by him, and Lin Zi Rui also laughed out softly, "So Nan is so funny."

Although Chen Canaan thought that his character was still quite humorous and witty, he did not feel that he had just made this remark funny to any extent, and inexplicably said, "You can even see this?"

Lin Zi Rui laughed aloud away.

Chen Canaan looked at Qiao Wen in a confused manner, "Is it funny?"

Jovian took out a towel and reached out to wipe his sweat, saying, "Tired? We'll go home if you're tired."

Chen Canaan angled his head and dunked a mouthful of water, enjoying his service, "It's still a bit tiring, it's the first time I've seen an old guy with such good stamina."

Lin Zirui watched this natural interaction between the two without moving and laughed, "By the way, are you guys organizing a movie award and want to ask Bao Lao to be the chairman of the jury?"

Qiao Wen nodded, "Elder Park is highly respected in the movie industry, and it was thought that with him at the helm, the movie awards would ensure credibility and fairness."

Lin Zirui thought for a moment and then said, "I see that your Wen Nan Film movies have good box office and reputation, running a movie award is not likely to be hard work, so why did you think of doing this?"

Qiao Wen smiled and said in a faint voice: "The United States has Oscar Europe has Berlin Cannes Venice several major film festivals, which are the film industry's event, but also to promote the development of the film industry in Europe and the United States is an important means. We are now the movie industry is booming, hundreds of movies are produced every year, but because there is no standard and benchmark, mixed fish and dragons, good and bad, the whole industry will have no cohesion, and it is difficult to have a benign development environment."

Lin Zi Rui nodded thoughtfully and said, "Hearing Ah Wen say this has enlightened me as a layman, I didn't expect you guys to have this kind of sentiment and ambition. The Hong Kong City movie industry is really blessed to have you guys. Let's do it this way," he gave a slight beat, "On the side of Park Lao, I will help you guys think of a way to do it, as if it's a way to support the development of local movies."

Before Qiao Wen could reply, Chen Canaan's eyes lit up and said, "It really is big brother Zi Hui, how refreshing."

"Thank you Jeffrey for your kind words, but it would be really unnecessary to use your friendship with Elder Cypress to make things difficult for both of you."

Lin Zi Rui smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, although my grandfather has a favor with Elder Park, but I definitely won't hold him hostage, because then, even if he sells this favor, he won't be able to do it with all his heart, and then if it affects your hard work, then I'll be doing a bad thing out of the goodness of my heart." He paused slightly, and then continued, "I will tell him the original intention of your movie awards, although Park Lao's temper is rather eccentric, but a sensible person, will certainly understand your intentions."

"Thank you Jeffrey then."

"It's just a show of hands," said the man and smiled again, "it should be a show of mouths."

Although he was not Lin Nan, with such a familiar face on top and being so gentlemanly and courteous, it was hard not to make Qiao Wen feel close to him.

Lin Zirui raised his hand to look at the tourbillon wristwatch on his wrist and said, "I have to go back to the company for a meeting later, do you guys want to go? Going out together?"

Jovian nodded, "Well, together."

He did not see Lin Zi Rui's ball companion, Xing perhaps has long left, the three of them carrying the racket out the door. A black Mercedes-Benz car, quickly stopped in front of Lin Zi Rui.

Qiao Wen was about to say goodbye to someone, but his eyes glanced at the driver who got out of the car and opened the door at that moment, and suddenly stared blankly, and he was just as stupefied at the same place, there is also Chen Canaan.

"Jeffrey, please!" The young driver, who was born with an androgynous face, opened the rear door and courteously made a gesture of having an invitation, as if he was oblivious to Qiaowen and Chen Canaan, who looked at him in shock.

On the contrary, it was Lin Zi Rui who, seeing the expressions of the two men, gently eeped, "Ah Wen Ah Nan, you guys know this bodyguard of mine?"

Chen Canaan raised his eyebrows and rubbed his head as he rushed forward, grabbing the young man's lapel, saying, "Qin Yunfei, since you're back, why don't you go look for Brother Feng? What do you want?"

Qin Yunfei stood up straight, let him grabbed himself, looked at him with a smile on his face, said in a faint voice: "You pretty boy Nan can change from the red stick of Hexing Society to the boss of the movie company and martial arts firm, I Qin Yunfei is not as capable as you guys, but it's not difficult to make a living with both hands and feet, why can't I change my ways, I have to go back to the Hexing Society and make a living?"

Chen Canaan let go of his collar and turned his head to Lin Zirui, "Jeffrey, this bodyguard of yours is a dangerous man, you should be careful when you hire him."

Before Lin Zi Rui could say anything, Qin Yun Fei smiled and spoke first, "Pretty Nan, you guys are doing a superior job, I'm just working a job to make a living, you're all going to obstruct, isn't that too unkind?" After saying that, he also looked at Qiao Wen, "Ah Wen, how can we say that we also have a bit of affection, you won't be the same as Ah Nan, right?"

When Chen Canaan heard the word affection, he immediately blew up again, pointing at the tip of his nose and said angrily, "What are you babbling about? I'm warning you, if you dare to covet Xiao Qiao again, I'll even break your remaining two legs."

Qiao Wen said, "Nan, forget it, don't make trouble."

Only then did Chen Canaan obediently walk back to him.

Lin Zi Rui cleared his throat and tried, "Have you and Fei had any problems in the past?"

Qiao Wen shook his head and laughed, "It's nothing, it's all a few years ago, and it's also long since been written off, it's Nan who was too impulsive."

Qin Yunfei chimed in, "Sorry Jeffrey, for the joke, please get in."

Lin Zi Rui nodded and smiled, "No matter what Fei used to do, but he's a very conscientious bodyguard, I don't think I hired the wrong person."

Qiao Wen said, "Fei is very good with his hands, with him as your bodyguard, you can still feel very comfortable going out."

Lin Zi Rui smiled, walked up in style, sat in the car, to be the door closed, and rolled down the window, remembered what seems, took out a card: "By the way, this is my card, you guys also leave a contact information to me, to be discussed with the old man and Park, notify you."

Qiao Wen pulled out his business card holder from his shirt pocket, handed him his and Chen Canaan's card faces, and took the card in his hand again, "I'm grateful to Jeffrey, and if the movie awards go well, I'll be sure to thank you properly."

Lin Zi Rui put the two business cards away, raised his hand and waved it like a gentleman, looking at him with a smile on his face, "Ah Wen is too polite, see you later."

Qin Yunfei walked to the front row, opened the driver's door, coldly swept his eyes at the black-faced Chen Canaan, and tugged at the corner of his mouth towards Qiao Wen, got into the car, started it, and left in a cloud of dust.

Chen Canaan spat, feeling only a little bad luck, and seeing Qiao Wen's gaze fall on the business card in his hand in a daze, he said, "Qin Yunfei was actually able to get a ride with Zi Hui's brother? I really underestimated him."

Qiao Wen put the business card away and said in a faint voice, "Since he's out there working as a bodyguard for someone, it means that he has no intention of mixing with the clubs anymore, and it's a good thing that people like him don't mix with the clubs. Although I don't know if he'll do anything, but don't mess with him if nothing else, lest you get yourself into trouble."

Chen Canaan frowned, "I'm just all over the place when I think about what he has in mind for you."

Jovian lost his smile, "If you get all bent out of shape when anyone has a little crush on me, you're in for a treat."

Chen Canaan was shocked, "Can it be that there are other people who are interested in you? Who is it?"

Jovian held his forehead, "I mean there's no need to be jealous."
