Li Ling didn't know what was bothering him, so she gently comforted him, "What's wrong? Ah Xing, what's wrong?"
Stephen Chow slapped Li Ling's hand away and continued, "Why is Tony Leung so lucky? I dragged him to take the TVB training course, so why did he pass while I could only attend the night training course?"
Why did we graduate together and both get assigned to children's programs? Why can he play the lead role while I'm stuck playing minor parts?
Does being good-looking guarantee good luck? He gets to date beautiful girls and act in movies for himself! What do I lack compared to him?
It turns out that Stephen Chow harbored resentment towards Leung Chiu-wai. Stephen Chow must have been holding it in for so long that he dared to open up to someone he had just met.
Li Ling sighed inwardly again. What was there to be jealous of? In less than ten years, Liang Chaowei would be looking up to you!
He encouraged him, "Ah Xing, believe me, you will definitely become famous, a super famous person. I have high hopes for you!"
Stephen Chow chuckled self-deprecatingly and said to Li Ling, "I know you're just trying to comfort me. Fame? Becoming a superstar? It's all a lie. Nobody at TVB really cares about me. Ling, you don't understand. They don't even give me a chance. They always make me play minor roles."
Li Ling poured Zhou Xingchi a glass of wine and said with a smile, "Xing, you're like a spring right now. The tighter you're compressed, the higher you bounce back. When I become successful, I'll definitely cast you in a movie and make you the lead. How about that!"
Stephen Chow sneered inwardly, "You don't even know if you can survive in Hong Kong, yet you dare to boast that you've made me famous."
Stephen Chow stopped talking and kept drinking beer. Li Ling tried to persuade him twice, but Stephen Chow just kept drinking. Seeing this, Li Ling stopped trying to persuade him.
By the end, Stephen Chow was completely drunk.
"Waiter, the bill!" Seeing that Zhou Xingchi was completely drunk, Li Ling had no choice but to carry him back. Fortunately, it wasn't far from their lodgings.
The next morning, Li Ling was awakened by a series of footsteps. She yawned listlessly a few times and saw Liang Chaowei packing his bags.
"Ah Ling, I'm sorry to have woken you up!" Liang Chaowei looked at the four or five large bags on the ground and smiled awkwardly.
Li Ling waved his hand, indicating that it was alright, and smiled, "Wei Zai, wait for me a moment, I'll take you there. I don't have anything to do today."
This was exactly what Liang Chaowei wanted. He had just finished worrying about how to carry so many bags of luggage and thanked Li Ling repeatedly.
This Tony Leung is quite polite; a big star thanking him made Li Ling smile to himself.
Seeing that Stephen Chow was still fast asleep, and knowing that his children's program started at 4 pm yesterday, I didn't want to disturb him, so I left a note on the table.
Li Ling, with a bag in each hand and another slung over his back, asked Liang Chaowei, who was dressed similarly, "Wei-zai, how do we get there?"
Leung Chiu-wai took out a few coins and pointed to the bus stop ahead, saying, "Let's take the Kwun Tong Line first, get off at Kowloon Tong, and walk a few hundred meters to get there."
Li Ling, supporting the large bag on his back, teased, "Brother, you're a big star, you don't need to be so frugal, do you?"
Liang Chaowei smiled, put on a pair of sunglasses, and said, "We should save as much as we can. It's only seven or eight hundred meters, less than ten minutes. Consider it exercise first thing in the morning."
"The bus is here! The bus is here!" Li Ling remembered that Liang Chaowei had to support a large family on his own during this period, so she stopped insisting, pulled Liang Chaowei onto the bus, and grabbed a seat.
Leung Chiu-wai pointed to the tall buildings outside the car and introduced them to Li Ling: "This is Mong Kok, which is very famous on Hong Kong Island, but it's also very crowded. I heard there are 100,000 people per square kilometer..."
The bus was already packed, and then Leung Chiu-wai muttered to himself. A burly man shouted impatiently, "You bastard! You're from the mainland again, aren't you? You don't even know Mong Kok!"
Liang Chaowei wisely shut his mouth and gave Li Ling an apologetic smile.
Li Ling shrugged indifferently.
The car continued its journey, stopping and starting, for about twenty minutes. Liang Chaowei patted Li Ling on the shoulder and reminded her, "Ling, we've arrived."
The two got off the bus one after the other, carrying their luggage. Liang Chaowei pointed to the northeast and said, "I live over there. By the way, I share a house with someone. Can you guess who it is?"

Chapter 88 The Righteous Brother Hua (Second Update)
"Ah Ling, you're amazing! You're carrying so much stuff, and you don't seem tired at all."
Li Ling chuckled. "It's only seventy or eighty pounds. Can I say I wouldn't get tired carrying it all day?"
She walked straight up to Leung Chiu-wai, and without responding to him, said, "You know I just arrived on Hong Kong Island yesterday. I don't know anyone here. Do you share an apartment with Grandpa?"
Leung Chiu-wai touched his nose sheepishly, and walked side by side with Li Ling while loudly proclaiming, "It's Wong Yat-wah! The one who played your cousin's love interest, how about that? Surprised, right?"
"Guo Jing!" Li Ling was pleasantly surprised and turned around, saying, "Is that the silly Guo Jing? Haha... I never expected to run into my 'brother-in-law'!"
"Brother-in-law?" Liang Chaowei was confused. When he saw Li Ling wink and smile strangely, he immediately realized what was going on and laughed, "Ah Ling, you're really mischievous. But Ah Weng is single now. I heard Ah Ye is pursuing her."
Li Ling asked doubtfully, "A-Ye, what's his name?"
“His full name is Tang Zhenye!” Liang Chaowei said breathlessly to Li Ling, “Ah Ling, wait for me! Aren’t you tired at all? I never would have guessed you were in such good health; you’re a natural actor.”
"Tang Zhenye!" Li Ling's heart sank. He liked Weng Meiling very much and didn't want her to suffer the same fate as him, dying young. He didn't expect that Tang was now pursuing Weng. It seemed that he had to stop him as soon as possible.
Leung Chiu-wai explained, "They met last year when they were filming 'The Legendary Siblings.' Ah Yip started pursuing Barbara Yung, but she hasn't accepted him yet. You're Barbara Yung's cousin, so why didn't she tell you about this?"
Li Ling smiled and focused on walking, thinking about how to break them up. Tang Zhenye was a handsome young man when he was young, but after the suicide of Barbara Yung, he turned into a fat uncle.
He had seen the movie "The Five Tigers' Breakup" in the real world and was deeply impressed by several of the main characters.
Liang Chaowei had somehow walked ahead and led Li Ling to an apartment complex, stopping at one of the buildings.
“I live on the fifth floor. Let’s take the elevator up. You can just go to the film set with Ahua later.”
Li Ling followed him into the elevator and asked in a low voice, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes production team hasn't finished filming yet? Hasn't it already started airing?"
Leung Chiu-wai looked at Li Ling in surprise. Seeing that he didn't understand, he explained, "Hong Kong TV dramas are filmed and broadcast simultaneously. They've already filmed the 'Battle of Huashan,' which has high ratings, so they've added another part. It should be finished in about a month."
As soon as Li Ling and Liang Chaowei stepped out of the elevator, they saw a young man in his early twenties standing at the elevator door, seemingly about to get off.
