Chapter 17: The Smart Couple

Maybe it was God's will, the little boy named Li Zhonghua liked the piece of jade that Li Siming gave him very much.

The child was still too naive and could only shout with his mother "godfather and godfather". He didn't understand what this meant at all, so he put the piece of jade hanging around his neck in his hand and played with it.

After the ceremony, the guests surrounded Li Siming and asked about Li Siming's origin. This made others curious. Li Siming was still hesitating whether to devote himself to the film industry. He used the identity of a special director of the Xiangjiang Film Production Company to evade everyone. As a result, this identity was confirmed by others, which made him determined to really start the film industry.

"Mr. Li, what movies have you ever made?" someone asked, this was not because someone else was deliberately attacking.

"Oh, this is still brewing!" Li Siming felt a little ashamed.

"So Mr. Li has never made a movie yet?" The "ah" was a long time. A young man from mainland China ran to Hong Kong, the capital of film, and claimed to make a movie. No one could let out this sigh. Li Siming felt someone showing a contemptuous expression, but he was speechless.

"Everyone is missing, I have something to talk about with my son's godfather." Boss Li, the owner of the banquet, rescued Li Siming from the crowd and took him to a room upstairs. Xiaodao also followed Li Siming inseparably.

This room is a small living room with a luxurious decoration, with a small bar beside it. Mrs. Li is sitting on the sofa holding her son.

"What do you want to drink from Mr. Li? I heard from Prince Zeng that you like to share with French Bordeaux wine?" Boss Li asked.

"Okay, then let's have a drink." Li Siming replied. He now discovered that Zeng Zhi had the potential to be a tongue-in-law.

"Will this gentleman have a drink?" Boss Li said, pointing to Xiaodao standing behind Li Siming. He could see that Xiaodao is not a good person. His straight suit contains explosive power and murderous aura in his eyes. Only those who walk down from the killing battlefield have this murderous aura.

"Mr. Li, don't worry about him." Li Siming nodded, "In addition, everyone who knows me calls me A Ming."

"So, you are my son's godfather, not an outsider. My name is Li Gong, and my father is from Saigon, so I gave me this name. My grandfather is also an overseas Chinese. I am about ten years older than you, so I claim to be older. How about you call me Brother Li?" The other party looked very familiar.

"No problem! Brother Li!" Li Siming took a sip of wine.

"Amin." Mrs. Li spoke, her eyes a little apologized, "This matter is so sudden today. I'm sorry I didn't discuss it with you in advance."

"Sister-in-law is so serious." Li Siming had a lot of opinions about her, but he didn't laugh at everyone's face, "Just why do you want me to be this godfather?"

"First of all, you saw my son first. If it weren't for you, he might not have come to this world. He has been involved with you since he was born. You are a kind person." Mrs. Li said, "Second, I don't want my son to have too many relationships with the underworld in the future, be honest and grow up healthy." She and her husband were very smart and proud of their designs, which made it difficult for Li Siming to refuse in public.

Speaking of the "gangster", Brother Li smiled bitterly: "My father is a businessman, and his father's father is also a businessman. When the Americans came, the war became more and more intense, and my father took me to Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, he was already poor, so I had to work hard with people from Vietnam. Unexpectedly, I joined the Vietnamese gang later. Now there is enough life for fighting and killing."

"But, this child... his biological father?" Li Siming was very puzzled. No matter what, he was also an enemy who killed his father.

"That's it." Mrs. Li was a little sad. "He died in battle, but was transferred to you a month before he met you."

Mrs. Li is also a descendant of Chinese. Unlike Brother Li, she has 100% Chinese ancestry. Her ancestors have been in Vietnam for several generations and cannot even speak their mother tongue. It is not as good as other Chinese-Chinese in Vietnamese. When the two countries are not in the face of the Chinese, these Chinese descendants who have lived in foreign lands for two generations or even longer have been treated extremely unfairly. These people are forced to return to their ancestor's motherland, China, while some people go further and flee overseas in small boats, and some people die in the sea. Mrs. Li's ex-husband is from the Yue tribe (Jing tribe). If she had not married her ex-husband as a soldier and became pregnant, she would have been forced to leave. When she gave birth to her son, she also received the bad news that her husband died in battle and was alone. Fortunately, she received the help of her distant cousin Li Gong and smuggled to Hong Kong.

She was still very lucky. Li Gong had been separated from her for many years, but she still missed her. When she needed it the most, she helped her and gave her happiness.

"My son's name is Li Zhonghua. Because he has the blood of us Chinese in him, he has been involved with China since he was born. We Chinese have no status in Vietnam." She has no good feelings for Vietnam. Li Siming doubts that this name will not make Vietnamese disgusted?

Li Siming felt much more assured about her ex-husband. At least he had no direct conflict with the woman in front of him, and he was kind to her. But he had never had the experience of being someone else's godfather, what should he do?

"The underworld people have several endings. One is to die in a bad life or spend the rest of their lives in prison. There are many situations; the other is to retire early to seek a good ending when they are old, but things often go against their wishes; the other is to wash the black ones into white. I am still young now, but I am tired of it. I hope my wife and my son can live a peaceful life together!" Brother Li said. He did not say which kind of person he wanted to be.

Brother Li was a little sad, but more hope. What he didn't say is that there are many forces in the underworld in Hong Kong, including a gang of once fanatical Red Guards, educated youth and veterans from the mainland. Li Siming almost occupied all of them. He hoped to let him be his son's godfather in order to achieve the safety of the mother and son, although this son has no blood relationship with him. News about the mainland wolf teeth special forces once caused an uproar in Western media, and Hong Kong also reprinted and hyped because of what his wife had personally experienced, he had strong confidence in the energy behind Li Siming.

"Okay!" Li Siming said. Although he felt that the couple had come to the will of the couple, Li Siming did not feel the need to refuse. On the battlefield, he always thought that women and children should go away, and the same was true in the underworld.

"Amin, you came to Hong Kong, you really have to make a movie, right?" Mrs. Li asked. She thought too complicatedly about Li Siming's purpose of coming to Hong Kong.

"Of course not. I made movies to make money and it was easier to run a technology company." Li Siming confessed.

"Although making movies is very profitable, it is not too easy to make movies in Hong Kong. I heard that this circle is very closed and it is difficult for outsiders to incorporate." Brother Li said. In fact, the underworld also wants to make movies, which is a very convenient way to launder money. Li Siming was also hesitant about the way he chose to make money, but he didn't want to go back so shamelessly and face the rigid technology system every day.

"I have to see this. I am not going to compete directly with them. Of course, competition is inevitable, but my ambition is not here. Even if I shoot, I will not shoot a movie of the same type as them. This will lead to a smaller resistance." Li Siming said.

"Why are actors? If you don't compete with him, how could there be an actor with excellent acting skills?" Brother Li asked. He used the word "grab". In fact, he was more surprised by Li Siming's surprise as a director than Zeng Zhi. He didn't believe that Li Siming would make any good movies. He was already thinking in his mind how to help Li Siming clean up the mess. If Li Siming knew what he was thinking at this time, he would probably jump off the building with depression.

"This problem will be solved." Li Siming said. He was not sure about investing more money. If he spent money and wasted time, he would be really crying. Li Siming did not realize that he was a little eager for quick success and wanted to eat a big fat man in one bite.

The couple on the other side still didn't believe it, and Li Siming couldn't explain it clearly. This problem had already stumped him. Unless his father-in-law prepared enough funds for him, Li Siming knew that it was impossible. If the country was also an individual, he would definitely be a poor man in debt. If he was poor, he would want to change. To a large extent, it was because of poverty that reforms and finds a way out.

When he returned to his residence, Zeng Zhi had many questions about what happened tonight.

"Aming, why did Boss Li ask you to be his cheap son's godfather?" Zeng Zhi asked.

"Because I'm more handsome, it's more reassuring." Li Siming joked.

"Selling? Then why don't Xiaodao be the one? There are many handsome people in Hong Kong, such as me." Zeng Zhi sneered at his words, "If you want to be steady and relieved, I think I am better than you. Among all the young masters in Hong Kong, I have a good reputation! Although I have a wide range of friendships, we are not a big fan of the most intriguing young masters!"

"I'm not fickle, I think you are too poor and afraid you can't afford to spend it?" Li Siming said with a smile.

"I am poor and ambitious! But then again, don't get too close to the underworld, especially not a community dominated by Chinese!" Zeng Zhi said.

"Don't worry, no, but if they get into me, there will be no good results." Li Siming said lightly. He didn't have time to conflict with them, and he was not afraid. However, the various legends and speculations about Li Siming later made the underworld avoid leaving behind, and it was too late to hide from him. He accepted the son of the boss of the underworld as his godson, which was the only thing he had to do with the underworld.

Xiaodao sat opposite, holding a cigarette, staring at the TV. He came to Hong Kong and became a TV fan, learning Cantonese while watching TV. However, he habitually let the dagger rotate rapidly in his hand. Li Siming once reminded him to be careful to hurt himself more than once, but he has not discovered that Xiaodao really hurt him so far. Xiaodao is an expert in using swords, which is the origin of his nickname, and few people even mention his real name. In terms of the skills of using swords, ten Li Simings are not as good as that. Li Siming admires this point and is so impressed by this. At close range, he always thinks that the flying knife is always faster than the speed of shooting a gun.

"Just blow!" Zeng Zhi said.

"Xiaodao, how many knives do you have?" Li Siming asked.

"There are four more, what's wrong?" Xiaodao asked.

"It's okay, just ask!" Li Siming looked at his whole body. He didn't understand why Xiaodao was so interested in Dao.
