My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 487: Hero Saves the Beauty

Zhang Lei led Zhang Zhiqiang, and the two quickly entered a bar in Lan Kwai Fong, Central.

Watching the chaotic scene of people dancing wildly in the bar, Zhang Lei couldn't help but sigh, "This is youth."

He didn't want Zhang Zhiqiang to follow him around and become too conspicuous, so he walked to the bar counter alone and looked at the bartender.

"Give me a whiskey."

As soon as the whiskey was served, a commotion arose nearby.

A long-haired beauty was being harassed by three thugs.

Zhang Lei frowned, stepped forward, and said, "Didn't you hear? They don't want to."

The blond-haired thug among the three immediately yelled at Zhang Lei, "Where did this punk come from? Where are you from?"

Zhang Lei looked at the three of them and smiled faintly: "I'll count to three, and you'd all get out of here right now."

The three were enraged by his arrogant attitude and were about to retaliate when Zhang Lei didn't waste any words and directly said, "Three."

Before he finished speaking, he kicked one person to the ground, then followed up with a reverse kick, knocking down another. The last thug was so scared that he was knocked to the ground by Zhang Lei's punch.

Seeing Zhang Lei's swift and decisive action, the people around him were not afraid at all; instead, they became excited and cheered.

At that moment, the beautiful woman next to him went limp and leaned against Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei stared intently, then his heart skipped a beat—Holy crap, isn't this Li Zhi, the goddess of countless men's dreams, the Miss Asia winner? What's she doing here?

He quickly helped Lizhi up and asked anxiously, "Are you alright? Are you okay?"

Upon seeing Lizhi's condition, Zhang Lei immediately realized that she had clearly been drugged.

"These scum!"

He didn't dare delay and immediately asked Zhang Zhiqiang to drive Lizhi to the hospital.

Upon arrival at the hospital, they immediately arranged for gastric lavage.

The next morning, Lizhi slowly woke up.

Looking at the unfamiliar hospital room, she couldn't help but rub her throbbing head.

Zhang Lei walked in carrying breakfast: "You're awake?"

Lizhi looked at him and asked softly, "Did you save me?"

Zhang Lei nodded: "You just had your stomach pumped yesterday, and you drank so much alcohol. It's bad for your health. Have some porridge."

Lizhi looked at the man in front of her, her cheeks inexplicably flushing, and whispered, "Thank you."

Zhang Lei looked at her and asked, "Why did you go to a place like a bar alone?"

Lizhi was silent for a moment before saying, "I was a little unhappy yesterday and wanted to relax."

Zhang Lei smiled helplessly: "Relaxed? You relaxed quite a bit, you almost lost your virginity."

Lizhi also felt a chill run down her spine, recalling the terrifying experience of the previous night, and her heart pounded with fear.

She got up and stood by the bed, looking at Zhang Lei: "How much did you spend? I'll pay you."

Zhang Lei waved his hand: "No need. Don't go to places like that again next time; it's not suitable for a beauty like you."

After saying that, he left gracefully.

As Lizhi watched his departing figure, she suddenly felt a pang of regret—she had forgotten to ask for his contact information; she should at least have reciprocated.

She quickly went to the payment counter and learned that Zhang Lei had already settled all the fees.

Zhang Lei's image involuntarily surfaced in her mind, and she muttered to herself, "He's actually quite handsome, but I wonder what his character is like..."

But she knew in her heart that if Zhang Lei had tried to take advantage of her last night, she would have lost her innocence long ago.

As soon as Lizhi left the hospital, the cell phone in her bag rang.

She answered the phone, and an elderly man's voice came from the other end: "Where did you go last night? Why didn't you come home?"

Upon hearing this voice, Lizhi immediately became furious and retorted, "What business is it of yours where I go? You haven't cared about me for so many years, but now that I have a little fame, you're asking me all sorts of questions with my stepmother."

After saying that, she angrily hung up the phone, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for her residence.

Actually, Lizhi was in a bad mood last night because she came to Hong Kong from the mainland and was discriminated against everywhere. Feeling frustrated, she went drinking alone and never expected to encounter something like this.

As Zhang Lei left the hospital, he secretly muttered to himself.

Hong Kong has been in such chaos lately; the timeline is completely wrong.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, this was a world where multiple films and television series had merged, so it was normal for the timelines to be a little messed up.

Zhang Lei sat in the car, listening to Zhang Zhiqiang's report.

The film company has already chosen a location and officially opened for business; currently, it is signing actors.

Upon hearing about signing actors, Zhang Lei immediately became interested: "Let's go take a look."

The car soon stopped in front of a building. Zhang Lei went inside and took the elevator to a studio with a sign that read "Longteng Film and Television".

Upon entering, he was dazzled by the sight before him—one after another, beautiful goddesses, each with their own unique charm, stood before him, all of whom were the white moonlight in the hearts of countless men in later generations: Wang Zuxian, Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Huimin, Zhao Yazhi, Guan Zhilin, and Qiu Shuzhen were also there.

Qiu Shuzhen spotted Zhang Lei immediately and ran over with a smile, saying, "Boss, you're here."

Zhang Lei nodded and asked with a smile, "How are you doing? Getting used to it?"

"Everyone is very nice and enthusiastic."

"That's good."

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Lei stepped forward, smiled, and said to everyone, "I started this company not just to make money, but also to give everyone more opportunities. Today, I am officially announcing a profit-sharing and reward mechanism."

Everyone present was stunned.

In those days, most film and television companies relied on actors' fame to earn a basic salary, and there was never any talk of profit sharing.

Zhang Lei continued, "Simply put, it's a tiered reward system."

The first tier: if the box office exceeds 500 million, a reward of 50 will be given.

The second tier is worth 1000 million, with a reward of 100 million.

The third tier offers 2000 million, with a reward of 200 million.

Then, 3000 million, 5000 million, and so on, with no upper limit. Once the box office reaches a certain tier, the company directly distributes the corresponding bonuses to everyone.

Even if the film loses money in the end, you won't be responsible; the company will cover everything. If you want more rewards, rely on your acting skills and make more good movies.

He paused, then said solemnly, "Here, you won't be threatened by gangs or thugs, there are no unspoken rules, and you won't be forced to do anything you don't want to do. You only need to do one thing well—act well."

The crowd immediately started discussing, no one had expected such a way of dividing the money.

Director Wong Jing, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "Boss, does everyone get a share of the profits?"

Zhang Lei nodded: "Yes. When a production is completed, everyone from the director to the cast gets a share, distributed proportionally."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience burst into enthusiastic applause.

Zhang Lei said with a smile, "I wish Longteng Film and Television all the best, that it will make a name for itself and cultivate more good actors."

After he finished speaking, he stepped off the stage.
