Chapter 118 Forced to Go on a Blind Date

Since VCRs were common in Hong Kong families, it did affect the box office of some movies. Some families rented two videotapes at night, so why did they have to go to the cinema?

Seeing that box office revenue was beginning to shrink again, some film companies had no choice but to cater to the tastes of a certain audience, and a large number of Category III films came into being.

Jingyi has already turned her music career to the mainland. But movies are not going to work for her now! Movies in the mainland in the 1980s were full of rural flavor. You can't let her play a rural girl!

Regarding the current chaos in the entertainment industry, Jingyi knew that it would take until after 1997 for this phenomenon to be eradicated. She just had to be careful now! Asking her to find a godfather? Who would dare to accept her?

Now, with her support, the market value of the Lou family has increased by many times. It is vaguely approaching those top families in Hong Kong. The Lou Ocean Shipping Company has acquired a container terminal in Western Australia, becoming a large ocean shipping company.

Now, every time she goes out for social events, she also brings an extra bodyguard. These people are not good at dealing with senior agents, but they are confident in dealing with gang members.

In December, the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Edward Youde, died of a recurrence of heart disease in the embassy in New York.

Jingyi suddenly had a hunch that this place might experience some turmoil due to the instigation of certain people with ulterior motives.

She called her second uncle Lou Qigang and suggested that he consolidate the funds of the Lou Group and reduce some external investments now.

In January 1987, there were many award ceremonies. The first one was the Hong Kong Film Awards. Jingyi was shortlisted for the Best Actress for her performance in the film Swordsman.

This was a competition between A Better Tomorrow and Swordsman. The result was that A Better Tomorrow won the Best Picture Award, but neither Xu Ke nor Wu Yushen won the Best Director Award, which was awarded to Fang Yuping, the director of An American Heart.

Zhou Runfa won the Best Actor Award, and Lou Jingyi won the Best Actress Award. The crew of "Swordsman and Lady" won a bunch of small awards, such as Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Martial Arts Director. All of them added together are not as good as a Best Picture Award.

A few days later, the 1987 Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards Ceremony kicked off again. Jingyi's song "Promise" barely made it into the list of the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs because it was released late. The Most Popular Female Singer Award went to Anita Mui.

Anita Mui's "Flaming Red Lips", Cameron's "Friends", Zhang Guorong's "The Love of the Past", Danny Chen's "Gazing", and Zhang Xueyou's "Half Moon" all won the Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs Awards, and Cameron won the Most Popular Male Singer Award!

When he went on stage to receive the Most Popular Male Singer Award and gave his acceptance speech, he followed the example of Lijun last year, announcing that he would no longer accept any awards from the music industry and leave the opportunity to more people.

After Jingyi attended all the annual award ceremonies, she flew to Beijing alone to spend the Spring Festival with her family.

When her family rarely saw her assistant Tingting, who was not with her this time, Jingyi told them about Tingting's situation!

"Tingting started dating a boyfriend last year, and this year during the Spring Festival, both parents will discuss marriage together. She is already 28 years old, and it is time to solve the marriage problem."

"You are 26 years old this year, right? It's time to think about your own personal problems."

This was the first time that Grandma Tan Yali had urged her to get married. She had never heard her granddaughter talk about her views on her marriage. Moreover, as a public figure, she didn't even have a single scandal. She couldn't help but think about other things!

"Hehe! In my current state, if you want to marry me, you have to bear a lot of pressure. So far, no boy has confessed his love to me. I can't chase him, right?"

Jingyi spread her hands, indicating that she was innocent and could do nothing.

Grandpa Le also nodded in agreement! He also knew that his four grandsons were not worthy of Jingyi at all. Judging from the way she quickly dealt with those foreign pharmaceutical giants, his grandsons were not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

"Then I will introduce you to one later. It doesn't matter what the man's family background is, as long as he has a good heart." Grandma was determined to match them up. Jingyi was helpless and let her do whatever she wanted.

Now Lou Xiao'e has left her one-year-old son to the care of the nanny at home. She has taken over the position of chairman of the Kyoto International Hotel, and Tan Yali is in semi-retirement.

"Mom, I think Jingyi should find one on her own. The fact that she doesn't have a boyfriend right now proves that her destiny hasn't arrived yet. You should stop interfering." Lou Xiao'e advised.

Marriage is all about fate, just like her and Le Mingxuan. She is 46 years old, but she still found her true love.

"No! Jingyi can't learn from you and give birth to her first child at the age of 46. A woman should marry herself off when she is the most youthful and beautiful." This mother is terrible! She deliberately pokes her daughter's lungs.

Jingyi was most relaxed when her family reunited in Beijing. People here were not as fanatical about chasing stars as those in Hong Kong. She was recognized by people a few times outside, but at most they came to ask for her autograph.

She would ask Yushui out for dinner whenever she had nothing to do. Yushui had already told Jingyi everything that happened in the Jia family last year.

Now Xiaodang and his wife mail Qin Huairu living expenses every month, but they don't know the exact amount. Anyway, Qin Huairu gets remittance vouchers.

This was Xiaodang's own choice! Jingyi didn't want to interfere. But Jia Zhang had a stroke and was paralyzed in bed! This was something she had never thought of.

Isn't this all thanks to her good grandson? Jingyi could have completely predicted that Banggeng would end up like this. Being spoiled by the Jia family, this ending is already a fluke!

After the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, of course I watched the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with my grandma. Jingyi has missed the Spring Festival Gala for three years!

This year CCTV Spring Festival Gala invited Hong Kong singer Ye Liyi and American Chinese singer Fei Xiang. The chief director of this Spring Festival Gala was changed to Director Deng. Jingyi was very familiar with him, who was the assistant of Director Huang in the past. She often called him Lao Deng.

She wanted to go back to Hong Kong after the sixth day of the New Year, but her grandmother stopped her: "Wait until the eighth day after the blind date! I've already made an appointment with someone else."

Jingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only follow her wishes. But whether it succeeded or not, wasn't it up to her to decide?

After finally making it to the afternoon of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Jingyi went to the teahouse under the Fuwangfu Xichunyuan of Kyoto International Hotel as agreed.

After she entered, she looked around. There were only a few people in the huge teahouse, and there was only one single male customer. Jingyi went straight over and sat down opposite him, then began to take off her hat, glasses and mask.

The man opposite him immediately brightened up and hurriedly greeted him: "You are Miss Lou Jingyi! My name is Wang Meng, I am 28 years old. I used to be in the Naval Political Department Art Troupe and just retired. Now I am the department manager of the Sijiucheng Import and Export Trading Company."

Jingyi nodded at him! He was able to become a manager right after he was transferred back from work. This was due to the connections at home. I guess his family has a lot of power! But he was not interested.

"Mr. Wang, to be honest, my grandmother has been worried about my marriage, but we young people all focus on our careers. I am here to handle my grandmother's errands. I am really sorry to have made Mr. Wang come here for nothing."

Jingyi was speaking the truth! She had no interest in forming a family with a boy. She had suffered too much from men in the past, and now she didn't trust any male animal.

"Ah? That doesn't matter! We can just be ordinary friends first. Miss Lou, this is my business card."

The man named Wang Meng was stunned for a moment after hearing Jingyi's words, but he didn't seem to give up. While he was talking, he handed Jingyi his business card with both hands.

Jingyi took the business card and looked at his ordinary face. She wasn't even interested in being ordinary friends with him.

"I don't have a business card with me! I've basically been in Hong Kong all the time, so it's hard for us to meet again. Sorry, I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."

Jingyi apologized, stood up and walked out. Before leaving, she even paid for him! It was not enough to make others go for nothing, the price of tea in this five-star hotel was very expensive.

She went to the chairman's office of the hotel. Grandma Tan Yali was still waiting there to hear the result of her blind date.

"Grandma, please don't worry about it anymore. Think about it, the education I received in Hong Kong is definitely completely different from here. Our worldviews are different, so we can't talk to each other at all."

In order to avoid similar things from happening again in the future, Jingyi has already raised this to the level of education! Their worldviews are different. In the future, the two of them should not fight every day at home!
