The two of them cooperate tacitly, and every performance can vividly interpret the elements of comedy and humorous plots, making the audience laugh. Their performances not only made the atmosphere of the nightclub more lively, but also won them warm applause and applause from the audience.
Among them, Shi Gougong has a deep crush on the singer Miss Ye of the nightclub, in order to be able to get close to her, he has been working silently, he believes that the distance between himself and Miss Ye is gradually shortening, success seems to be within reach, and all he has to do is to continue to work hard and keep moving forward.
However, the good times did not last long, and a big brother Qing with a prominent position in the rivers and lakes also became interested in Miss Ye, and calculated Miss Ye. He uses his position and power to try to turn Miss Ye into his own woman. His behavior not only seriously violated Miss Ye's dignity and rights, but also led to a conflict between Shi Gougong and Big Brother Qing.
As time passed, Shi Gou Gong gradually realized the true face of Big Brother Qing, and began to worry about Miss Ye's safety and rights and interests, one accident, Shi Gou Gong angered Big Brother Qing, who vowed to make him pay a terrible price in the face of such a powerful opponent, Shi Gou Gong felt his powerlessness and helplessness, he knew that he had to find a way to protect Miss Ye, otherwise he would not be able to get rid of Big Brother Qing's control and threat Therefore, he began to look around for strength that could help him, and developed a series of plans and strategies to deal with the upcoming challenges In the process, Shi Dog Gong continued to grow and progress, also won the support of many friends in the rivers and lakes and helped them work together to fight against Big Brother Qing, and finally succeeded in protecting Miss Ye's safety and rights.
Brother Qing was very angry because he knew that the dog had quarreled with him, so he sent someone to beat the dog secretly and beat the dog father, so that the dog was scarred and had a serious brain injury, and he became an idiot.
When Wu Zhi first saw Shi Gougong, he was attracted by his smart and handsome appearance. They often spend quality time together, support each other, and take care of each other. However, as time passed, Shi Gougong's condition began to deteriorate gradually. He went from a smart and handsome young man to a stupid dementia. Wu Zhi was very sad when he saw all this.
He began to travel around seeking the best medical resources for Shi Gougong, hoping to help him recover, and at the same time, Wu Zhi also borrowed huge sums of money from loan sharks in order to raise medical expenses.
After careful diagnosis and treatment by doctors and careful care by himself, Shi Gougong finally changed back to a healthy and lively self. In this process, the doctor also provided Shi Gougong with necessary professional guidance and psychological counseling to help him better adapt to his new living environment and physical state. Wu Zhi is sincerely happy that Shi Dog Gong can return to the stage, and she feels that this is a very rare miracle of recovery.
After a period of recuperation, Shi Gou Gong and Wu Zhi returned to Hong Kong and began to return to work. However, by chance, the two met their former friend Ah Zhu and her sister Ah Zhen on the street. When the two ask about Ah Zhu's current condition, Ah Zhu tells them that she lost a leg in a traffic accident and now needs an expensive surgery to recover.
However, since the two sisters are not financially wealthy and cannot afford such a large amount of medical expenses, they have been looking for ways to raise fundsAfter hearing the news, Shi Gou Gong and Wu Zhi immediately decided to help Ah Zhu, and together they raised enough money for Ah Zhu so that she could undergo surgery and recover her health, this experience made Shi Gou Gong and Wu Zhi deeply feel the impermanence of life, and also made them cherish their friendship and unity with each other even more.
So, Shi Gougong and Wu Zhi decided to follow the example of the former difficult brothers and sisters, and united a group of old friends to set up a trick on Big Brother Qing, so that they could not only raise money for Ah Zhu's treatment, but also take this opportunity to fight back against Big Brother Qing, who had bullied him.
The two quietly connected with friends who had performed together in the past on the Internet, and soon, everyone responded to the call as enthusiastically as if they were being burned, and began to prepare to reappear, intending to play a different role in this justice scam.
Under careful planning, Shi Gou Gong and Wu Zhi first carefully built a seemingly real police station and courtroom, and ensured that all the facilities were arranged and handled in detail throughout the process. They carried out every step of the way with great rigor in order to ensure that Big Brother Qing could enter this elaborate trap unsuspectingly.
This news was hidden from Big Brother Qing for so long, until he made a mistake, and he was not noticed, which was really an unexpected result. Big Brother Qing thinks that his plan is seamless, but in fact, he has no idea that he has fallen into a trap set by a group of small people. His self-righteousness made him erroneous, his blind self-confidence prevented him from recognizing reality, and his negligence cost him.
With the tacit cooperation of their friends, the whole scam was carried out in an orderly manner, fully demonstrating their deep collaboration skills and clever planning and layout. This scam has put Big Brother Qing in a trap, and it looks like he is being fooled, but in fact, he is willingly deceived. This feeling of being "deceived" was very strong, his self-esteem was greatly hit, he felt that he had been fooled and embarrassed, therefore, he chose to leave.
However, our little people did not change their plans by the departure of Big Brother Qing, they still continue to work together and go all out to carry this scam to the end, and through their resourcefulness and courage, they successfully completed this dramatic counterattack to outwit Wu and make Big Brother Qing understand that no matter how capable he is, if he is dishonest and unkind, he will eventually be punished.
