Fatty Wei also had his dignity.
They did order 60 cups of coffee and could make Shen Lianjie pay.
But…
After he saw Liu Tingting’s face, he decided not to do so.
Although he managed to ‘take a bite’ out of Shen Lianjie, he still felt extremely unsettled in his heart.
…
The bright moon, the dark night, and the long streets at a barbeque station.
“Lu Yuan, your grandfather…I thought it was agreed you will play the part of a green leaf today? Now, you are hogging all the limelight and I became the one playing the green leaf part instead. F*ck! You are a bastard that pretends to be a pig to eat tigers!”
“…”
“Your grandfather…although I became a side character, the feeling earlier was truly awesome! F*ck! When I recall the appearance of Shen Lianjie slipping away, I feel extremely happy! Damn, waitress do you have some whiskey? No? Get me three bottles of beer then!”
“…”
“Damn, Liu Tingting is trash! F*ck! I must have been blind back then!”
“…”
“Liu Tingting, you heartless slut!”
“…”
“I was so good to you…”
“…”
“You actually…don’t understand me…ARGHHH!”
“…”
At the barbeque station, the gaze of the boss was strange as he stared at Fatty Wei who was seated in a corner.
Fatty Wei would cry first and laugh after that, like a mental person.
Lu Yuan lit up a cigarette. His face was flushed, and the tearing Fatty Wei was in his vision. He knew that Fatty Wei was venting.
He chugged down mouthfuls and mouthfuls of wine while eating barbequed lamb. The entire barbeque station was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Right now, Fatty Wei felt very sad.
Although Fatty Wei was someone simple-minded, his heart was extremely sensitive.
Lu Yuan knew that Liu Tingting was Fatty Wei’s first love. He also knew that Fatty Wei had given out a lot for this woman.
However, no matter how much one was willing to give, it couldn’t rival reality.
Reality was always that cruel.
He wasn’t handsome and his talent was ordinary. He wasn’t a top student and also didn’t have a glib tongue. How could he be compared to a handsome, talented top student, who was also good at glib talking and posturing?
Hence, Liu Tingting kicked Fatty Wei away.
She did it so cleanly.
Fatty Wei begged before, cried before, was sad before, and even vowed before. But everything was useless.
That year, Fatty Wei was very lonely.
That year, Fatty Wei was still a pure and innocent youth…
After that year, Fatty Wei no longer looked for a girlfriend. He wanted to depend on his own two hard-working hands. He wouldn’t feel regret even if they were buried in calluses.
Lu Yuan stared at the night sky after he finished smoking.
Maybe, this was the youth of Fatty Wei.
Lu Yuan waited until Fatty Wei had drunk all he wanted before he went to settle the bill. He then dragged Fatty Wei back to the company with him.
Fatty Wei was 100 kg. It was very strenuous for Lu Yuan.
‘A`Yuan…I’m not drunk!”
“I’m really not drunk, I still can drink!”
“I really still can drink!”
“Eh? Why is this car so familiar? Isn’t this Shen Lianjie’s Hummer? Yan JT82, it’s his…”
Fatty Wei suddenly became awake from anger.
He wanted nothing more than to rush over to beat this adulterous couple to death.
However, he was blocked by Lu Yuan.
“What can you do if you go over now?”
“I…”
“You want revenge?”
“Yes! A`Yuan, you better don’t stop me…”
“You are so drunk now, how can you take revenge?”
“Ah?”
“We have to calm down and not do anything stupid. You have to learn from me. We are cultured citizens. Mn…actually there are some leftover firecrackers in the company’s garage.”
“Ah? Firecrackers?” Fatty Wei didn’t know what Lu Yuan meant.
“Yup, firecrackers.” Lu Yuan nodded.
“A`Yuan, you…” Fatty Wei suddenly felt agitated.
“What about me? Am I that type of person who would toss firecrackers into someone’s car? I’m a cultured person that’s overflowing with talent! Naturally, it’s impossible for me to do so. However, you are different.”
“Why am I different?” Fatty Wei tried his best to maintain some rationale despite being hopelessly intoxicated.
“Because you are uncultured!”
“F*ck! You damnable…” Fatty Wei glared at Lu Yuan in anger. After that, understanding struck him. He didn’t need Lu Yuan to prop him up as he jogged unsteadily toward the company.
He suddenly felt so happy as though he was a 200 pounds kid.
Lu Yuan shook his head.
……..
“Bang!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Bang!”
The moon was bright. Its rays were extremely beautiful as it shone down from the air.
After that…
A series of explosions rained down…
Shen Lianjie was badly shocked as he stared in the distance. Then, he saw a figure rushing into an alley in a panic.
It was very late at night, that person was very nervous. For a time, Shen Lianjie couldn’t see clearly.
“Damn…”
……
When something was lost, it might no longer return.
There might be a sense of longing for it and one might feel sad, but they wouldn’t mind it too deeply anymore.
They would simply treat it as though they had loved a dog.
Naturally, once one saw past this and was freed, it was an entirely different concept after venting their emotions.
Lu Yihong was still as pitiful as ever. Late at night, Fatty Wei wailed like a ghost and howled like wolves before breaking into laughter. The smell of alcohol, as well as that devilish laughter, caused Lu Yihong to be in an abyss of suffering.
This was a kind of torment.
However, Lu Yihong discovered that he gradually got used to this type of torment.
Despite Fatty Wei’s devilish laughter, Lu Yihong still managed to sleep, and he even had a dream of himself descending to hell.
In hell, all sorts of devilish laughter rang out.
The person laughing sounded very sad.
What made him feel so sad to the extent where his sadness could become a river?
The next morning, Fatty Wei woke up. His entire person seemed different as an intense fighting spirit could be seen in his eyes. It was like he had changed wholly. He pulled Lu Yihong who finally stopped having nightmares, while he prepared to head to the shooting site.
“I’m sleeping a little while more!” Lu Yihong mumbled.
“Sleep your ass! It’s time to start work!”
“Isn’t it too early?”
“Not early at all, quickly wake up!”
“F*ck.”
…
“What? This can’t do. Your expressions have to be more delicate. Do you understand the meaning of the word ‘delicate’?”
“We have to film the movie well! We want to get an award!”
“Yes, we definitely have to get an award!”
“Go and move that thing over. Yes, I’m asking you to do it!”
“F*ck! This is not working. The camera’s angle is a little slanted; it would affect the quality.”
The moment Fatty Wei reached the site, he sat in the director’s chair and began shouting. In fact, he was working extremely hard even during breaks.
Lu Yuan was extremely happy. He stood at the highest spot of the mountain and would occasionally smoke as he observed the filming process. He would also give out some suggestions at times and was very idle.
Fatty Wei had already done what he needed to do. Now, Lu Yuan only needed to shout randomly a few times to show his presence.
Filming like this was very relaxed.
The filming speed was also extraordinarily fast. During the second evening, ⅕ of the plot was already filmed.
If everything was smooth-sailing, the filming would wrap up in roughly half a month.
Lu Yuan was very happy!
Exceptionally happy.
He did some calculations. If they could maintain this speed, he could save a sum of money from ordering boxed lunches…
It was pretty good.
The decoration of his restaurant in the future could be better-looking, and he would also have more liquid funds…
When they ended work, two uninvited guests came over.
They were none other than Shen Lianjie and Liu Tingting. Both of them had haggard looks on their faces.
These two came here to look for Fatty Wei.
“Were you the one who tossed the firecrackers in?” Shen Lianjie gritted his teeth, yet he didn’t dare to make a scene.
“What firecracker? Can you talk louder? I can’t hear properly…” Fatty Wei naturally heard it clearly, but he intentionally raised his volume.
“You…what were you doing last night?!”
“What? What was I doing last night? I was drinking with A`Yuan until the wee hours! What happened? You guys didn’t sleep well? Firecrackers? What firecrackers?” Fatty Wei raised his voice again.
“You, talk softer…” Shen Lianjie suddenly glanced at the people in the surroundings. His gaze was filled with nervousness, a trace of anger, and hatred.
“Speak clearly then!” Fatty Wei was still speaking in a loud voice. His voice was so loud that it almost sounded like a trumpet. He even glanced around intentionally, wanting to attract the attention of everyone in the production crew. His expression was extremely sneaky.
“You! I will remember it!”
Shen Lianjie inhaled deeply. He was incomparably enraged as he gritted his teeth.
“Hmph! Let’s leave.”
“Brother Shen, why should we leave? He’s definitely the culprit, he…”
“Leave!”
Fatty Wei had a smile on his face that resembled the spring wind as he watched Shen Lianjie leaving…
“Wei Wuji, I didn’t expect you to be such a person. You are not like this in the past!” Liu Tingting took in a deep breath. There was a complicated look in her eyes when she looked at Fatty Wei.
“What the fart does it have to do with you?” Fatty Wei spat out a mouthful of phlegm and lit up a ‘Red Orchid’ cigarette.
“You…” Liu Tingting was so angered that she trembled.
“Why are you still talking with him? Fatty Wei, let me tell you this. No matter what, I will always be above you. You are just a useless random director one could find anywhere. You are just a minor character, and you will be one forever! Don’t think that you are a major character just because you did something sneaky!
“When our movies are screened, you will know the difference between us. Your production crew and your movie are not even worth a single cent!”
“Firecrackers? What firecrackers? Are there still people playing with firecrackers nowadays?” Fatty Wei’s smile grew increasingly radiant as he heard Shen Lianjie cursing.
He raised his voice again.
Everyone in the production crew turned and stared at Shen Lianjie.
Shen Lianjie’s words of disdain were nothing in his perspective.
There was no power in his words.
“Hmph!”
Shen Lianjie was incomparably gloomy as he snorted. He then hurriedly brought Liu Tingting and left.
…
“Has he agreed?”
“Mn!”
“Right, I will come over immediately! I want to hear his song.”
“Sure. Remember to bring a guitar.”
“Don’t worry.”
