The bloodless youth Li Xing Chen, his eyes fell on Jiang Yu Feng's large hands that were still stained with stars and blood.

Two photos of himself were cupped in that hand.

Seeing that he didn't make a move for a long time, Jiang Youfeng thought that he was reluctant and frowned and asked, "Is it inconvenient?"

He was not only born with a face-palm cold face, but also a low voice, which was a polite inquiry, but in the ears of the two people in the car, it had a threatening and creepy flavor.

Li Xing Chen just looked at him silently and slightly bemused, while the cousin beside him, who looked three times similar to him but with obviously jerry-built features, was directly scared and closed his eyes and wailed loudly, "Just let us go!"

It was only then that Jiang Yu Feng reacted to the fact that it was he who had frightened the person.

He knew that he looked intimidating, but just now after all, he had seen the road and pulled out his sword to help, not thinking that this kind of situation would still occur. Shaking his head in tears and laughter, he withdrew his hand and turned his head towards Qiao Wen who came over and smiled, revealing an expression of hopelessness and pleading for help, "Ah Wen, you tell them!"

It was only when he saw Qiaowen's face, which was as white as the declining sun, poking into the door of the car that the wailing of the ghosts inside stopped abruptly.

"Mr. Li, don't be afraid, we're not bad guys, we just saw you guys being followed at the Lida Restaurant and felt something was wrong, so we followed you, the robbers have all been restrained by my big brother, so you can arrange to call the police."

Li Xing Hai, also known as Li Xing Chen that just has been crying and howling more than a cousin, on the measure of the smiling teenager, think the other party how to look at it is not like a bad guy, finally is greatly relieved, but the eyes glanced at Qiao Wen beside the Rakshasa general Jiang Xufeng, and again was scared of a shiver, stammered: "You really are not robbers?"

Jiang Xiufeng sighed helplessly and said, "Do you guys look at my Ah Di like a robber?"

Li Xinghai squinted at Qiaowen and mumbled in a small voice, "It's not quite like that."

But he still did not dare to get out of the car, or Li Xing Chen crossed him, walked down from the car, saw a few robbers who fell in a pool of blood and convulsed and moaned, also sucked in a breath of cold air, and then courteously said, "Thanks to the two of you for your righteousness and help." And also greeted the driver in the distance to rush to the neighborhood to find a payphone to call the police.

A person like Jiang Yu Feng who hangs out on the road is naturally most leery of dealing with the police, he said, "Since it's already fine here, we'll leave first, please sign for me, Mr. Li."

Li Xing Chen looked up at him, and despite the other party's efforts to put on a pleasant expression, it was still a bit intimidating.

Qiao Wen saw the red star, full of anxious, hurriedly said: "My big brother's sister very much like Mr. Lee starred in the "Love is priceless", he as a brother, in order to satisfy his sister's wish, today specifically to go to the Lida West Restaurant and paparazzi together with Mr. Lee came out, is to be signed, if it were not for this, we would not have just run into the robbers with your car! ."

"Oh." Li Xing Chen nodded numbly, took the two photos, pulled out a Montblanc fountain pen from his own pants pocket, signed his name on both the bottom edge and the back of the photos, and then handed them back to Jiang Youfeng.

Jiang Youfeng took the photo, the stain on his hand accidentally stained a little on it, he hurriedly wiped his hand on his clothes and carefully brushed the stain away with his fingertips before carefully putting it back into his pocket.

This action of his treating these two photos as if they were treasures made Li Xingchen's ears unable to resist a slight reddening.

However, Jiang Youfeng was oblivious to this, and after taking the autographed photo, he didn't give another glance at the big star in front of him, only remembering something as if he had, he turned his head to Qiao Wen and said, "Wen, don't you have something to look for in Mr. Li?"

Qiao Wen hmmmed, took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Li Xing Chen: "I'm the secretary of a clothing company, our company has created a new brand which we're preparing to launch recently, and we want to ask Mr. Li to be our brand ambassador, if Mr. Li is willing to consider it, you can take some time to visit our factory production line and discuss it in detail before making a decision. "

Li Xingchen that scared cousin, at this moment finally shivering from the car, heard his words, staggering call: "What work what brand?"

He was ready to snatch the business card directly from Qiao Wen's hands, but Qiao Wen avoided it without a trace and sent it to Li Xingchen with a smile on his face.

Li Xing Chen took the business card, glanced at the name on it, and politely handed him his own card again, nodding, "I'll be available tomorrow morning."

Qiao Wen curled his lips and smiled openly, "Then my boss and I will be waiting for Mr. Li's arrival."

The sound of police car sirens had already been faintly heard in the distance, and Jiang Youfeng patted Qiao Wen's shoulder and urged, "Wen, let's go!"

Seeing this, Li Xing Chen busily said, "Thanks to the two of you for your help today, I still don't know how to address this big brother?"

Jiang Yu Feng pulled Qiao Wen to walk briskly towards the small pickup truck, waving his hand without looking back, "A little thing, not enough to worry about."

Getting into the car, Qiao Wen looked forward through the windshield, and Li Xing Chen, who was standing beside the dark blue Mercedes-Benz, kept his eyes glued to this side of them, his lips slightly opened and closed, a look of wanting to speak.

Jiang Yu Feng, on the other hand, has already left the popular youngster behind, one hand on the steering wheel, one hand to take the photo out of his pants pocket, into the glove box, the corner of his mouth curved up a pleasant arc, apparently quite satisfied with his harvest today.

Qiao Wen shook his head and smiled, glancing at Li Xingchen's business card in his hand and said, "Brother Feng, thank you for today."

Jiang Yu Feng was unsure, "Thank me for what?"

Qiao Wen said, "Thank you for saving Li Xingchen. When we approached him earlier to talk about filming an advertisement, that cousin of his asked for a lot of money and it was impossible to negotiate. If you hadn't saved them, he wouldn't have been able to agree to visit our factory tomorrow to discuss in detail."

Jiang Yu Feng frowned and turned his head to look at him, saying, "Ah Wen, why didn't you tell Brother Feng when you encountered this kind of thing?"

Qiao Wen was unsure as he met his god-killing face, especially that broken eyebrow. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that he knew what kind of person Jiang Yu Feng was, just looking at his face would indeed be quite intimidating.

Jiang Yuefeng continued, "I've helped people out a lot of times when I couldn't talk business. When you encounter this kind of thing in the future, just tell Brother Feng."

Jovian: "????" Rather unnecessary.

Jiang Yu Feng curved his lips and let out a light smile, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Feng doesn't use his fists for everything, I came out to mix at the age of fourteen, and I know quite a few people in the white and black paths, so as long as it's not too big of a deal, it shouldn't be a problem."

Qiaowen smiled back, "I know Windy is capable."

Jiang Yu Feng shook his head in disbelief, "What skills do I have? In the end, it's still relying on my fists, unlike Ah Wen who reads a lot and is able to rely on his real skills to make money nowadays." After a pause, he added, "By the way, recently Ah Nan has gone a bit overboard outside the city fortress, I'm afraid that something will happen to him, I've reminded him a few times, I don't know if he's listened to me or not, so you should also give him a good advice."

Jovian nodded, "Well, I've heard something about that too, I'll remind him."

Jiang Yu Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "This road is not good, I don't want to stand by and watch the trap too deep to pull out."

The following morning, Li Xingchen and his party arrived as promised.

Lin Zihui and Qiao Wen were both dressed in a new suit produced by their own company, with their hair neatly combed, bringing along the assistant manager and a few managers to lead their honored guests on a tour of the new production line.

Their side was courteous and polite, but the other side was obviously not that well entertained. To be exact, it was Li Xingchen's cousin who was not good at hospitality. A moment to dislike this a moment to nitpick that, a high arrogant and arrogant and brash appearance, and yesterday was robbed when the ghost cried wolf howling woeful appearance of a different person.

On the contrary, Li Xing Chen had been gentle and silent, only occasionally hearing Lin Zi Hui and Qiao Wen's introductions and politely nodding in response.

After visiting the production line and sample clothes, back to the office, Lin Zi Hui had someone come up with carefully prepared tea. Li Xinghai picked up the teacup and took a sip, skimming his lips, "What kind of tea is this? There's no flavor at all."

Li Xingchen frowned slightly, but didn't say anything after all.

Qiao Wen laughed, ''We don't know what kind of tea the two Mr. Li's like to drink, so we prepared the soft-flavored Mingqian Longjing first. There is also after-rain Longjing, Dahongpao and Taihu Lake Biluochun here. You see what you like which kind? I'll re-brew a pot for you?"

Li Xinghai came from the bottom, completely rely on the cousin which got the way to heaven, since he does not know the doorway of the tea, but do not want to let people see that they do not know how to do it, waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested in tea, weekdays are drinking coffee."

Lin Zihui let out an oh and said, "Just in time, my Abba gave me a box of coffee beans from South America a few days ago, I'll teach someone to cook them up for the two of you."

Li Xinghai was about to say something when he was interrupted by Li Xingchen, who had been silent, raising his hand, "No need, let's talk about cooperation."

Li Xinghai hurried to answer: "You also know that my brother is now red all over the city, want to advertise Tatsuzai's business can be lined up from here to Central, each is a big company and big brands, you a new brand has not yet opened on the market, the future development of how no one knows, Tatsuzai for you to advertise that I'm afraid that you have to take a lot of risk, we have to think about it. "

Qiao Wen smiled and nodded, "We are indeed a new brand, and we can't predict anything about the future. But the two of you have just visited our production line, and you should have no opinion about the quality and style. Now the Hong Kong City clothing industry is developing rapidly, but there is not a mid to high-end local brand that can compete with the big foreign brands, our ideal is that we want to make a local business formal wear brand, if Mr. Li can be our brand ambassador, I believe we will get twice the result with half the effort."

Li Xinghai bluffed, "It's not impossible to advertise for one of your unheard of brands, but the remuneration ......"

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Li Xing Chen again, "I recognize your brand concept very well, I promise to be the spokesperson for the Dream True brand." He paused slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "The remuneration will be one hundred thousand dollars a year, do you guys see any problems?"

"What?" Li Xinghai was shocked.

Qiao Wen and Lin Zi Hui, on the other hand, looked at each other in surprise.

Seeing that the two did not answer immediately, Li Xingchen added, "If you two feel that 100,000 dollars is too high ......"

"Not too high, not too high!" Lin Zihui immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for being so forthcoming."

"Tatsu-chan!" Li Xinghai looked at his cousin in displeasure.

Li Xingchen ignored it and said, "If it's convenient, let's sign the contract now, so that you won't have to make a special trip at that time."

"Okay." Jovian smiled and nodded.

The contract had been drafted long ago, and as long as the amount of remuneration was added, he personally took the clerk to print the contract.

Still with the ink scent of the contract in duplicate in the coffee table spread, Li Xing Chen only swept a glance, then pulled out a pen to sign, however, went to be beside the cousin stopped: "Tatsuzai, you see clearly. At least three times a year magazine ads, business activities if you wear formal wear, you have to wear their brand, as well as store opening ribbon-cutting and brand promotion activities. You have to spend at least half a month a year on this, and the total pay is only 100,000 dollars, which is less than you having a meal with young master Wang."

Li Xing Chen turned her head and glanced at him coldly, pushing his hand away and signing her big name.

After signing, he handed the contract to Qiao Wen, who looked at it and extended his hand, "Mr. Li, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation."

After shaking hands, Li Xing Chen suddenly said as if he remembered something, "By the way, yesterday, if it wasn't for your big brother stepping forward, I'm afraid we would have already suffered a big loss. Unfortunately, you and your big brother left in too much of a hurry, and I didn't have time to properly thank you. I don't know if your big brother is free, I would like to invite him for a meal and thank him properly."

Qiao Wen thought that this big star was scared by Jiang Yufeng, but he didn't want to even want to ask for dinner to thank him face to face, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll turn around and ask my big brother."

Li Xingchen asked again, "I wonder what your elder brother's name is?"

Qiao Wen said, "My elder brother's name is Jiang, just call him Brother Feng."

"Brother Feng." Li Xing Chen whispered after him, nodded thoughtfully, and said in a gentle voice, "Then I'll wait for your news."

After sending the person to the car, Qiao Wen and Lin Zi Hui folded back to the office side by side.

Just now there are people in, Lin Zi Hui did not have the heart to express his joy, this moment people a go, no longer can not help but be overjoyed, he grasped Qiao Wen's shoulders said: "You say how we are so lucky? Just when we were looking for Li Xing Chen to advertise, you and your big brother saved him. A hundred thousand dollars of advertisement remuneration, for a popular youngster of his popularity, can really only be considered a passing favor."

Jovian nodded rather thoughtfully, "Luck indeed."

Lin Zihui added, "But where did you pop up with another big brother? Nan said you only have him as a brother."

Qiaowen said, "It's the big brother Nan and I share."

Lin Zi Hui nodded, "That's more or less the same, otherwise if you went to recognize someone else as your brother, Anan would definitely not do it."

Qiao Wen lost his smile, but he couldn't deny it, if he really went to recognize another brother, Chen Canaan really wouldn't agree, an overbearing guy.

Lin Zihui said as if he remembered something again, "Speaking of which I'm quite surprised, it feels like Li Xingchen is completely different from what he imagined."

Not only did he feel, Qiao Wen also deeply felt that Li Xing Chen was very different from the magazine interviews on TV. In the TV series, he was a dashing and flamboyant playboy, and in the newspapers and magazines, he was a popular young man who was very proud of himself. However, in reality, Li Xing Chen is obviously a quiet and even a little melancholy in the eyes of the introverted youth.

But actors are inherently multi-faceted and show the public just what the public wants to see.

While Qiao Wen and Lin Zi Hui are rejoicing over the signing of the big star in this room, the big star, Li Xing Chen, is attacked by his cousin Li Xing Hai's chain of spitting stars in the leaving minivan.

"You're the most popular in all of Hong Kong Island right now, and a hundred thousand dollars is what you'd get for attending a dinner party."

This way Li Xinghai kept complaining that he asked for too cheap, he has been by him to say at most only a faint voice to explain a "others saved us, in the sense of reason also have to return this favor.

But by this time, also finally can not help, kind of laugh: "Brother, these two years in addition to filming, I am under your arrangement to participate in this dinner that reception, even the rest has not been, to the family to earn money is not enough? As long as I have money, do you think I should do anything? Just like that Young Master Wang yesterday, if he offered me enough money, you can send me to his bed to sell my ass?"

Li Xinghai smiled sarcastically and hastened to pacify him, ''Chen Zai, what are you talking about? We are family, how could I possibly harm you? I'm just thinking that we've been poor for so many years, and now that we've turned over a new leaf, of course we have to seize the opportunity to make money. This world is very realistic, you are red now, everyone is holding you up, when you are replaced one day, who will remember you?"

Li Xing Chen expressionlessly looked out the window without another word, and fell into the usual silence again.

Because of the signing of Li Xing Chen, Qiao Wen was also considered to have a stone landed in his heart, and he wrapped up his work early in the afternoon, took the salary he had just been paid, and went to Causeway Bay to buy thicker clothes for himself and his granny.

Although Hong Kong City is a tropical city, it occasionally cools off nicely for a few days in December.

Of course, he didn't forget to choose one for Chen Canaan.

Carrying a few shopping bags and a full harvest, he came out of the mall, and before he could get into a car, he heard a cacophonous racket across the street. He looked up and it turned out to be someone in a group fight.

As a person who has lived in the Kowloon Walled City for half a year, this kind of thing, fighting and brawling, has long made him feel rare and unusual, originally was not on the mind, was about to raise his hand to recruit a cab, the afterglow glanced into the two groups of people in a more familiar figure.

His raised hand stopped in mid-air and he squinted across the room, it should be two groups of gangs in a firefight.

He was no stranger to Chen Canaan's fights, after all, he had personally seen him pick off Qin Yunfei and his seven or eight ponies, but that was self-preservation as a last resort.

However, the Chen Canaan at this time, fierce and brutal hand ruthless, simply different from those vicious gangsters.

He recalled what Jiang Yu Feng had reminded him yesterday, that Chen Canaan had indeed stepped on a dangerous line.

Several of the firefighters had already fallen, and the sirens sounded just in time before anything more tragic happened. Somehow it was yelled, "Brother Nan, the cops are coming!"

The crowd scattered.

When Chen Canaan got into a small van next to him, he suddenly realized something as if he turned his head to look across the street and happened to meet Qiao Wen's narrowed gaze.

Just before there was time to react in any way, the man had already been pushed in by his minions. The van whistled and went away, leaving only a ring of choking exhaust for the rushing police and a few people groaning in a pool of blood.

Jovian sighed, waved down a cab and got in to go home.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Grandma Qiao lovingly took the clothes bought by her grandson with his money, finally reluctantly ended the evening's grandchildren and grandchildren's joyful night talk, and went back to the inner room to rest.

Qiao Wen also yawned and went to bed, nowadays there is not even a TV set in this house, which has made him develop a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

Only the spine had barely touched the bed when the large humanoid bat at the window, which hadn't appeared for ten days or so, finally sneaked in.

"Xiao Qiao--" Chen Canaan called in a low voice, "Are you asleep?"

Jovian said, "Not yet."

Chen Canaan tiptoed up to the long-lost small wooden bed. About the same time, he had just taken a bath, and his body carried a fresh smell of soap.

Jovian moved inward to make room for him, "What brings you here?"

"I missed you." Chen Canaan lay down next to him and sighed, "It's still Xiao Qiao your bed is comfortable."

Jovian laughed softly.

Chen Canaan turned her head and looked at him through the dim light, "Really, the new bed that Howie and I bought is a bit more spacious, but it's not comfortable at all, and Howie isn't honest when he sleeps, kicking me every day."

Qiaowen reached out and pulled off the light, saying, "You don't have to say such nice things, it's not like I don't know that you fight outside every day, and I'm not going to get mad at you just because I bumped into you."

Chen Canaan had indeed come downstairs to sleep with him because he had been caught fighting by Qiao Wen this evening, risking that he might not be able to resist doing bad things to people at night.

Hearing him say that at the moment was a long relief, "You don't think I look like a bad person?"

Qiao Wen laughed lightly, "Frankly speaking, you weren't much of a good person originally either." Chen Canaan was choked for a moment, and then heard him say seriously, "Brother Nan, now that we have no way to fight against Master Panther, and he would never just let you help him fight, you must be careful not to get involved in those hooks of his that you can't get out of."

"I understand."

"And ......" added Jovan, "although you are good at it, you should be safe and not get yourself hurt."

"It's not hurt yet, or you check." He subconsciously dragged one of Jovian's hands across the room and shoved it inside his large, loose undershirt, yet regretted the action as soon as he'd done it.

Because Qiaowen's hand had just pressed against his skin, Jean's heart plummeted wildly, his body went limp, and a wave of heat ran wildly amok, ending in a unified rush toward the bottom.

Qiao Wen was oblivious to the fact that he was still smilingly touching him up and down, carrying out the so-called "inspection", and suddenly eeked out, "Are you very hot? Why are you suddenly sweating?"

"No no." Chen Canaan hurriedly turned around and pouted before her abnormality was exposed, turning her back to him, "I'm so sleepy, sleep sleep sleep."

This night, Chen Canaan naturally dreamed this and that all night again.

Waking up, it was still light. True to form, from last night's back-to-back position, he turned into a position where his arms and legs were holding the person close to him.

Before Qiaowen woke up, he cursed himself as an animal with grief and indignation while lightly getting out of bed, although there were no tears on his face, his heart was howling as he ran to the rooftop.

As for what was done on the rooftop, let's leave it at that.
