Seeing the two carrying large and small bags, the young man quickly came over, took one of the bags, and said, "Wei-zai, you're here! I was just about to go and help you with your luggage!"
Leung Chiu-wai introduced Li Ling: "Ling, this is Wong Yat-wah. We all call him Wah, but don't call him Wah-jai."
Li Ling was completely confused and asked, "Why? Oh! I know, there's also Liu Lianghua, I remember everyone calls him Hua Zai!"
Huang Yuehua said, "People used to call me Wah-jai, but after I met Andy Lau, they weren't used to calling us that, so I told them to call me Ah-wah. By the way, you're called Ah-Ling, right? Hello, my name is Huang Yuehua."
Li Ling reached out and shook hands with Huang Yuehua, smiling as she said, "I hope Brother Hua will take good care of me in the future."
Liang Chaowei wiped the sweat from his forehead and urged, "We're all family here, let's go in quickly. I'm exhausted from carrying so many bags."
Huang Yuehua immediately helped him carry two more bags, greatly relieving Liang Chaowei's pressure. He wanted to take the bag from Li Ling's back, but Li Ling said she wasn't tired.
Liang Chaowei said gratefully, "Thank you, Ah Ling. If it weren't for your help, I would definitely be late today."
Li Ling chuckled and said, "It's nothing, we're all friends, no need to be so formal."
The three of them walked a few steps and arrived at the room rented by Tony Leung and Felix Wong.
Huang Yuehua put down Liang Chaowei's bag, rubbed his hands together and said, "I have to go to work now. Wei Zai, can you take care of Ah Ling?"
Liang Chaowei was about to pour himself a glass of water when he heard this, so he immediately stopped and said to Huang Yuehua, "Hua, wait a minute. You and A-Ling go out together. He's going to look for a job."
Previously, Li Ling had inquired about Hengda Finance Co., Ltd. from Liang Chaowei. This was the company where Xiao Ma Ge and Song Zihao worked, and he only said that he was going there to look for a job.
Leung Chiu-wai was puzzled as to how Li Ling could find a job without an ID card, and how she knew about this company after just arriving in Hong Kong. Li Ling made an excuse, saying she had a friend there. Leung Chiu-wai understood and helped her find the company's address.
Huang Yuehua looked at Li Ling and asked, "Ah Ling, are you going out to look for a job now?"
Li Ling nodded and smiled, "I'll have to trouble you again, Brother Hua. I'm penniless right now and just waiting to find a job so I can start eating."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yuehua immediately pulled out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, didn't even count them, and handed them to Li Ling: "You should have said so earlier! I just got my salary the day before yesterday, and I was wondering how to spend it."
Seeing that Huang Yuehua didn't seem to be faking it, Li Ling was both surprised and touched. He didn't expect Huang Yuehua to be so generous after just meeting him. He quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, I still have a few dozen yuan, that's enough."
Last night, Stephen Chow got so drunk he couldn't wake up, so Li Ling had to pay the bill himself, leaving him with only thirty-odd dollars.
Huang Yuehua forcefully stuffed Hong Kong dollars into Li Ling's hand and said earnestly, "How can a few dozen dollars be enough! Consider this a loan to you. You can pay me back when you make money. You are Wei Zai's friend, which means you are my friend, Ah Hua."
Liang Chaowei also advised from the side, "Ah Ling, just take it. Ah Hua's nickname is 'Fire-Breathing Hua,' which refers to his straightforward and righteous personality. That's just the kind of person he is. He'll be unhappy if you don't accept it."
After saying that, Leung Chiu-wai looked at Wong Yat-wah and said, "Why don't you guys hurry up and leave? I'm going to take a shower later, and I'll go too."
Huang Yuehua put his arm around Li Ling and waved to Liang Chaowei, saying, "Then we'll go first."
Li Ling also waved goodbye to Liang Chaowei.
The two went downstairs, and Li Ling smiled with emotion, saying solemnly to Huang Yuehua, "Thank you, Brother Hua!"
Huang Yuehua nodded, then said impatiently, "Ah Ling, you're so long-winded. You've said thank you eight times along the way, making me feel embarrassed. Oh, you're not planning to just say thank you and not pay me back, are you? Haha... Just kidding, don't mind me."
"How could that be!" Li Ling had just checked and found that he had more than a thousand Hong Kong dollars in his pocket, which was Stephen Chow's monthly salary. Brother Wah is really generous!
"It's getting late, I have to get back to work. Remember to let me know if you need anything, I'll definitely help if I can." Huang Yuehua hailed a taxi and before leaving, he reminded Li Ling to contact him if she had any trouble.
"What a kind person!" Li Ling couldn't help but sigh as he watched the taxi drive away. Such righteous people are rare these days.
I've heard from entertainment news in the real world that among the Five Tigers of Hong Kong, Wong Yat-wah and Andy Lau are the two most loyal and have helped many friends.
Andy Lau, needless to say, is a universally acknowledged good person in the entertainment industry. While Wong Yat-wah's willingness to go to such lengths for someone he'd only met once certainly stems from his relationship with Barbara Yung, it's undeniable that most people wouldn't be so loyal.
"Brother Hua's acting career in the real world has always been just average. His most classic roles are the straightforward Brother Jing in the 1983 version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, which is currently being filmed, and Xiao Daxia, who fights while carrying a speaker in the 1997 version of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. When I become successful in the future, I must help Brother Hua." Li Ling thought to himself.
As for repaying the beautiful old lady, need I say more? Hehehehe.

Chapter 89 Little Ma and Brother Hao's Amazement (Third Update)
Li Ling hailed a taxi and arrived at the place he had inquired about beforehand.
After getting off the bus, Li Ling looked at the skyscraper in front of him.
Hengda Finance Co., Ltd. is located in this building. It is now 1983, and "A Better Tomorrow" was released in 1986. That means that Mark Gor and Sung Chi-ho are still working in this company!
Li Ling wanted to get straight to the point.
Take the elevator straight up to the twelfth floor.
As the elevator doors slowly opened, two men wearing long black trench coats and sunglasses walked side by side, chatting and laughing.
One of them had thinning hair, a shiny forehead, and was nearly forty years old, with a kind face. The other looked much younger, dashing and handsome, with unrestrained and flamboyant mannerisms, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and his snow-white teeth were spotless.
It was Sung Chi-ho and Little Ma!
Upon seeing the two men who looked almost exactly like their on-screen counterparts, Li Ling was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Brother Hao, Brother Ma, hello!"
When they saw a stranger emerge from the elevator, but someone who recognized them, Xiao Ma and Song Zihao were taken aback and looked at each other in surprise.
"Handsome guy, do you know us?"
Li Ling respectfully fabricated a story: "I have heard people in the martial arts world talk about the glorious deeds of you two elder brothers. I admire you very much. I came here today because I want to follow you two elder brothers and make a career for myself."
"Heh, follow us?" Little Ma chuckled, took out his cigarette, blew out a big smoke ring, and wore a mocking expression.
"Kid, we're in the business of legitimate people, not gangsters. What are you doing following us?"
Li Ling chuckled and said, "If making counterfeit money is a legitimate business, then I'd like to follow you two and do this legitimate business."
