Dreams of the Fragrant River

Chapter 17



: Seventeen [House Of Housewarming]

After earning the first pot of gold in his life, what is the first thing Kang Jianfei wants to do?

move place!

It’s not that Kang Jianfei has never suffered, but he has suffered too much. Once he has the conditions to stop suffering and suffer, he will choose to enjoy it to the fullest without hesitation.

The people in my uncle’s house were all friendly and treated him well, but it was too crowded there.

The 30-square-meter house, plus the little cousin who is not yet a year old, lived in a total of 8 people. Kang Jianfei sleeps on the floor in the living room every night. Because the living room is too small, several times the Wu family got up to go to the toilet at night, and stepped on him carelessly.

In addition, the sound insulation of the room was not good, so Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai often heard the “pop” in their uncle’s room at night.

Aunt Zhou Mingfang packed up the luggage for the two of them, and insisted: “Ah Fei, in fact, it’s best if you don’t move out. We can take care of each other when we live together, and save a lot of rent. You two big men move. Going out to live, no one cooks three meals a day.”

Another cousin, Liang Ying, spoke much more directly. She smiled and said: “It’s better to move out, it’s too small, and it’s not convenient for everyone to live in. Anyway, the house you’re renting is not far away, and clothes are fine. Save it and bring it over for the weekend and I will wash it together.”

Uncle Wu Chenggang was not happy when he heard it, and scolded: “Why is it inconvenient for everyone to live in? It’s just too much to talk!”

Liang Ying retorted without showing weakness: “I’ve lost my mind. Is it comfortable for you to live in a crowd of 8 people? When A Fei moves out, that’s called ability. You’re so good, you’ve stayed in Hong Kong for 20 years. Why do you still let me and Mingfang live in public housing?”

These words hurt Wu Chenggang’s self-esteem, especially in front of the children and two outsiders, Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai. Wu Chenggang’s face flushed instantly, and he shouted, “I’m not good at it? Then what did you follow me with a shameless face back then! If it wasn’t for you… hum, don’t say it!”

Liang Ying sneered: “Say it, why didn’t you say it? Do you want to say that I dragged you down, if it wasn’t for me, you would have been rich already!”

Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai saw other husbands and wives quarreling, and they didn’t know how to persuade them.

Before the two of them went downstairs, Wu Chenggang chased after them, smiled reluctantly and said, “A Fei, A Cai, don’t listen to her nonsense, your aunt can’t speak.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Liang Ying’s scolding came from behind: “Wu Chenggang, try again!”

Kang Jianfei had a headache, so he could only keep silent and pretend he didn’t hear anything.

Except for Zhou Mingfang who wanted to take care of the baby, the whole family of Uncle Biao came to help Kang Jianfei move. A group of people took a car to the outside of a high-end residential building on Broadcast Road. After Kang Jianfei stopped the car, he pointed at the building and said, “It’s here, it’s here.”

Wu Chenggang looked at the number plate outside the building’s gate and said in surprise, “No. 79 Broadcasting Road, Ah Fei, you are crazy, the rent here is at least 1,500 yuan a month!”

Kang Jianfei took care of the renting by himself, and Hu Juncai just found out that he was going to move here. Hearing Wu Chenggang talking about the rent, Hu Juncai said painfully: “1,500 yuan? It’s about to catch up with my two-month salary! Ah… Ah Fei, why don’t we live in another place, it’s too expensive, we can’t afford it. ”

“Actually, it’s quite cheap. The rent in this building is only 1,800, while the rent at No. 83 is more than 2,000. Besides, a little further ahead is TVB, and a little further behind is Lishi, and A Cai will be close to work in the future.” Kang Jianfei didn’t care. Laughed breathlessly.

Kang Jianfei didn’t choose to live here simply because of enjoyment.

This side of the radio channel is also known as “Wutai Mountain”, where all the radio and television stations in Hong Kong gather. When this place was originally planned, it was used to build high-end residences and dormitories for middle and senior civil servants, so the people living nearby were either rich or expensive, and many celebrities in the film and television industry also lived here. For example, Wang Tianlin’s family lived upstairs in the house that Kang Jianfei rented.

Compared with the rich potential network resources in this place, the rent of more than 1,000 a month can be completely ignored.

What’s more, the Jiashi Building at No. 1A, Broadcasting Road, was used as a TVB studio after Jiayi TV went out of business. Many modern dramas from TVB and Shaw Brothers were filmed here. If Kang Jianfei shoots modern dramas in the future, the studio is very close to home, which can save a lot of commuting time, not to mention that he can do post-processing of the film here.

Wu Chenggang wanted to dissuade him, but Kang Jianfei’s words made him shut up: “Uncle, my current fee is 500 yuan per thousand words, and the newspaper directly paid me 500,000 yuan. Today’s “Oriental Daily” should be published This news, you can buy a newspaper and read it.”

Kang Jianfei walked into the gate of No. 79 Broadcasting Road with his bag, leaving behind Wu Chenggang, Hu Juncai and others to look at each other.

“What did Ah Fei just say? The payment is 500 yuan per thousand words, and 500,000 is paid in advance?” Wu Chenggang pinched himself, then looked at Hu Juncai again, wanting to ask him for proof.

Hu Juncai shook his head repeatedly and said, “I don’t know, Ah Fei didn’t tell me.”

Liang Ying muttered to himself, “500,000 is enough to buy a small villa in Kowloon!”

The “Oriental Daily” hype this time was very successful. A few months ago, Huang Yulang asked Ni Jiao to write a novel with 1,000 words of 500 yuan. And this time, Kang Jianfei’s remuneration is not only on par with Ni Frame, but the one-time payment is double that of Ni Frame.

The “Oriental Daily” published the news on the front page, and named Kang Jianfei’s identity as a mainland boy. It also mentioned that the last few episodes of “Chu Liuxiang” were Kang Jianfei’s substitute for Zheng Shaoqiu. It is reported that Kang Jianfei is a rare genius in 50 years. He can act on TV and write novels, which is comparable to Ni Jiao, and his future is definitely brighter than Ni Jiao, because Kang Jianfei has been in Hong Kong for a month, and his salary has been more than 20 in Hong Kong. The Ni frame of the year is flush.

As soon as the news came out, “Oriental Daily” and Kang Jianfei immediately became the center of the storm of public opinion.

Kang Jianfei can imagine the reaction of the major newspapers tomorrow, at least more than half of the media will scold the “Oriental Daily” for being a mess. Because Huang Yulang gave Ni Jiao 500 yuan for the manuscript half a year ago, and paid 240,000 yuan for the manuscript at one time, he has been criticized by many colleagues for breaking the rules.

Ni Jiao is a well-known novelist in Hong Kong, and Kang Jianfei is just a new writer who has just published a book. It is strange that other media do not call him crazy.

However, this kind of ‘scolding” will not ruin Kang Jianfei’s reputation, but will make him worth a lot. Just like Ni Jiao, he was scolded by many media a few months ago for seeing money, but the end result was that the stingy Jin Yong was under pressure to increase the manuscript fee for Ni Jiao…

Dongfang Daily also has many benefits. Not only has it become the center of public opinion, it will continue to boost the sales of the newspaper, but it will also attract a large number of jealous authors to actively contribute to Kang Jianfei’s high manuscript fees.

Go upstairs and enter the room that Kang Jianfei rented. The decoration inside is eye-catching, including TV, refrigerator and washing machine. Sheets, quilts, these are all available, and the room is clean, which makes Liang Ying who is going to clean the house for Kang Jianfei and the others have nothing to do.

Seeing Liang Ying checking everywhere, Kang Jianfei said, “These sheets are all new, and I have also hired some help to clean up the room. Auntie, just sit and rest for a while.”

Liang Ying walked around the bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, and exclaimed, “A Fei, this house is at least 800 feet, isn’t it too big for the two of you to live in?”

“Almost.” Kang Jianfei laughed.

As soon as Hu Juncai entered the room, he was in a sluggish state. He couldn’t bear to step on the soft carpet in the living room, for fear of breaking the carpet. There is only one thought left in his mind now: such a luxurious house, just like a palace, if you live in it for a day, even if you die immediately, you will not live in vain.

Wu Ruixue jumped around and looked around in several rooms, but Wu Ruiqing leaned into Kang Jianfei’s ear and whispered, “Cousin, that…you said I gave it to me…”

Kang Jianfei smiled and took Wu Ruiqing into a bedroom. After closing the door, he took out some money and said, “If I promise it to you, I won’t let it go, but now my cousin has no use for this money. This thousand yuan You take it first, and the rest will be given to you later, which will save you a lot of money.”

Kang Jianfei promised to give Wu Ruiqing 10% of the manuscript fee. If UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is calculated at 500 yuan per thousand words, Wu Ruiqing will finally get 75,000 yuan. This money is not only due to my cousin for helping to revise the manuscript, but also for Kang Jianfei’s repayment of his uncle’s family. After all, Wu Chenggang gave him a lot of help after he came to Hong Kong.

Wu Ruiqing didn’t think too much about it, nor was he afraid that Kang Jianfei would take the rest of his royalties. For a long time, Wu Ruiqing, who had only two yuan in pocket money a day, suddenly received a huge sum of one thousand yuan, and he was so beautiful that he forgot his last name.

At noon, Zhou Mingfang also came over with the child in his arms, and everyone sat down around a table of delicious food, in celebration of Kang Jianfei and Hu Juncai’s move to their new house.

Halfway through the meal, the uncle, who didn’t speak much after entering the room, finally spoke up and asked, “A Fei, what are your plans in the future? Like Ni Jiao, have you been writing novels?”

Before Kang Jianfei could answer, Liang Ying answered: “Writing novels is good, you see how good A Fei is, he made half a million dollars in a month. A Fei, my aunt gave you a suggestion, you should rent this set. Let’s retire the house, buy a small villa with the 500,000 yuan, save a lot of rent every month, and still have a house of my own, and the value of the villa will appreciate in the future.”

“I will consider it.” Kang Jianfei laughed.

Kang Jianfei’s plan for the future has never changed, that is, to open a film company, otherwise it would be a pity that so many movies rot in his heart!

What’s more, Kang Jianfei doesn’t know anything except film and television. He doesn’t understand financial technology, and he doesn’t know which year there will be a stock market crash, and he doesn’t know which year the stock market will rise sharply. He has no interest in doing ordinary business, and can only make money honestly by making movies.
