I went berserk in the movie world

Chapter 18 Bus

Song Sheng chose to give the 41 gold coins to Brother Hu at a discounted price.

This allowed him to quickly convert a sum of cash into cash, saving him the trouble of going back and forth again.

With this cash, plus the more than three thousand yuan I had on hand, it was more than enough to cover the expenses of the places I had visited all day yesterday.

Taking advantage of the fact that there wasn't much to do during the day, Song Sheng went around again and finally settled on a shop on the ground floor.

The location is in the adjacent Yau Tsim Mong district, on the ground floor of a tenement building facing the street.

This place is popular with people, so the signboard is eye-catching enough.

The most important point is that the place is big enough, about 200 square meters. Although the rent of three months' deposit and one month's rent in advance is not cheap, money can always be earned back.

Song Sheng spent the entire afternoon preparing for the opening of the museum.

As the sun was setting, Song Sheng ate a simple bowl of cart noodles nearby. Before he could even return to his lodgings on Yonglong Street, Tiger's younger brother, Shapi, came knocking on his door.

Shapi trotted over and bowed respectfully to him: "Brother Sheng, Brother Hu asked me to remind you that you have a boxing match scheduled for tonight at the Yihai Building."

"Yi Hai Building?" I think I heard Queen Pei mention this yesterday, but I've been busy preparing for the opening all day and almost forgot about it. "How do I get there?"

"Brother Sheng, it's getting late, let's take the bus."

"Okay."

……

In the early 1950s, the number of buses on Hong Kong Island was growing at an extremely rapid pace.

Currently, many bus companies have started offering monthly passes for students and adults.

When Song Sheng got on the bus, there weren't many people on it yet.

He walked straight to the back row where there was no one, sat down in a quiet window seat, and looked out at the old-fashioned street scene where neon lights were gradually illuminating.

Shapi sat in the seat in front of Song Sheng with great discretion, so that if he needed anything, Song Sheng could get involved immediately.

After the bus had traveled two or three stops, a sudden burst of chattering sounds came in.

They were a group of students wearing school uniforms.

The seats inside the car were almost all taken, with only a few empty seats remaining.

Among them, no one dared to sit next to Shar-Pee, who had a fierce face and a tattoo of a sea monster on his arm.

Next to Song Sheng sat a girl with a fluffy bob haircut.

However, compared to the other students, the girl sitting next to him was much quieter.

Just as Song Sheng was enjoying some peace and quiet, some chattering voices suddenly approached:

"Hey, Zhu Wanfang, it's Mai Jie's birthday in a couple of days, let's hang out together."

Although the girl's tone was questioning, the implication of a command was quite clear.

The girl next to Song Sheng replied softly, "I'm sorry, I might not have time these next few days."

"No time? Tsk tsk, Zhu Wanfang, are you really not busy, or are you just being disrespectful?"

"I... I just want to study at home."

"Studying your lessons? What, you want to get first place in the whole school? You can't even go out and have some fun? Don't you have any respect for me?"

"I...I didn't."

"So that's okay?"

"No, I—"

"Hey, Zhu Wanfang, you keep changing your mind, saying one minute it's not true and the next it's not. What exactly do you mean?"

"..."

A woman sitting not far away couldn't stand it anymore and said, "That young lady is clearly unhappy. You guys are just bullying her!"

Among the chattering girls, Ma Xinyi was the ringleader. Hearing someone speak up for Zhu Wanfang, she immediately turned around and said, "Auntie, my classmate and I were just greeting each other. What's it to you?"

The woman was about to reprimand her when three or four boys sitting in the front row walked over: "Ma Xinyi, what's the matter?"

Ma Xinyi crossed her arms and said provocatively, "Mai Jie, I was chatting with my classmate, and that aunt over there insisted that I was bullying her. You guys be the judge for me."

Maijie turned his head a few times and stared at the woman who had just spoken.

He could only swallow back the words of reprimand that were on the tip of his tongue, and muttered to himself, "You little brat, you don't study properly and instead do some shady stuff."

Seeing that no one around dared to speak up, Ma Xinyi continued to stir things up: "Mai Jie, you want to invite him out to play, but he won't give you face."

More and more students gathered around from the back row.

Song Sheng had no choice but to turn his gaze away from the street scene outside the window.

He glanced at the female student blocking the front of the line and said calmly, "What are you all doing gathered here? Discussing your studies? If you don't have anything to do, move out of the way. You're getting in the way."

Ma Xinyi snorted, turned her head and said, "You think you can just break up like that? Are you an idiot?"

The words had barely left his mouth when Shapi, who was sitting in front of Song Sheng, suddenly stood up: "You idiot, what did you say?!"

As Tiger's younger brother, Shapi had met Song Sheng several times and naturally knew that Song Sheng was a promising prospect that even Sister Pei had noticed.

In addition to the instructions given to him by Tiger, how could Shar-Pei not take it seriously?

He grabbed Ma Xinyi's hair and yanked her close to him, his words revealing a fierce edge.

The students in the corridor, upon encountering the Shar-Pei with his arms covered in Yaksha tattoos, immediately lost some of their initial bravado.

As the eldest member of the group, Mai Jie had no choice but to step forward and, mustering his courage, said, "What are you doing! Let go of Ma Xinyi!"

Shar-Pee had long disliked these brats, who kept chattering on and on. If he weren't worried about delaying the important business, he would have taught them a lesson long ago.

Now that Song Sheng had taken the lead, he immediately stepped forward.

Ignoring their shouts, he grabbed Ma Xinyi's hair and slapped her across the face in front of all the students.

Snapped! ! !

A crisp sound echoed inside the bus.

Ma Xinyi's face was visibly swollen, and blood was seeping from the corner of her mouth. Her head, which was being pulled by her hair, was tilted to one side, and she looked completely stunned, as if she had been hit.

Shar-Pee didn't let go either, but glared at McGee, his tone unfriendly: "Hey student, bring your classmates, all of you fucking back to your seats!"

Mai Jie and his friends were still students after all, and their aura was naturally weaker when facing adults, especially since they were Shar Peis who had grown up in the Walled City.

The group of people were speechless for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the leader, Mai Jie.

Mai Jie's face turned bright red. He had been bullying others at school for so long, and with the help of gang leaders in the neighborhood, he had become used to being arrogant.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, and considering the young man's pride, Mai Jie could only retort, "You think you can just sit back down like that? Who do you think you are? Don't think I don't have some powerful backer!"

Shar-Pee scoffed, "A bunch of students are actually trying to figure things out here."
