Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 248 One Hundred Times! (6K views, please subscribe)

Rong Nianqing knew, of course, that the saying "a man speaks the truth when drunk" could only be believed to a certain extent, while the saying "a man/woman who is three-tenths drunk will act until you cry" could be believed to a certain extent.

However, Rong Nianqing personally witnessed Lü Yao going to the washroom several times during the trip, and the sound of him vomiting could be faintly heard even through the door. Wang Shu even waited at the door to help take care of him on the last two occasions.

Every time he returned, Lü Yao would resolutely rejoin the drinking party, only later becoming increasingly sluggish in his reactions and his tongue growing larger.

If you're a little tipsy, it's easy to improve your acting skills, but if you drink that much like Lu Yao did before... even if you took hangover medicine, you should have vomited it all by now, which is why Rong Nianqing was so surprised.

Lu Yao took the towel off his face from the back seat, gave Wang Shu a grateful look, and then said, "I must be drunk. I can't even stand up straight now."

But being drunk or not and being clear-headed are two different things.

Having spent years in the drinking scene, Lü Yao had long since developed a way to stay sober even when drunk; as long as he didn't black out, his mind wouldn't go offline.

As for those who get drunk and act crazy, they're just using "drunkenness" as an excuse to do things they wouldn't normally dare to do.

As if all the bones in his body had been removed, Lu Yao lay limply and asked, "President Rong, in your opinion, how did Uncle Li feel about me tonight?"

Rong Nianqing laughed and said, "That's fine. But whether you were just being yourself tonight after drinking or putting on a show while drunk, it's enough to make Uncle Li appreciate you even more."

Lu Yao nodded, then covered his face with the hot towel again and mumbled, "That's good."

You can only believe about 30% of what's said and done at a drinking party; it's a mutual assessment between the stronger and weaker parties. Of course, drinking parties for apologies or when you need something from someone should be considered separately.

If Lü Yao's behavior tonight is true, then it shows that Lü Yao is a genuine person, which is very similar to Uncle Li's personality, and we can get to know each other better.

If tonight's performance was all fake, then it means that even when his nerves were paralyzed, Lü Yao still had excellent self-control. Coupled with Rong Nianqing's introduction, Lü Yao is still a good person and worth getting to know.

Since they were all on the same side, Rong Nianqing spoke very frankly.

Silla is different from China. In China, there are also people who do things unconventionally, but generally everyone still plays within the rules. But Silla is different. Things are done much more unconventionally there. Although people of similar size are fighting each other, the methods are similar to those in China.

But they have many more ways to deal with outsiders like Lü Yao.

The things depicted in movies are often even more exaggerated in reality.

There's still public opinion pressure domestically, and the advanced internet is enough to make many people hesitant to act. In Silla, everyone is in cahoots, so unless things escalate to the city center, these are all minor issues.

Leaving aside the various clashes between criminal gangs, the sheer number of deaths in the entertainment industry is enough to show just how ruthless the tycoons are.

In this situation, it would be a lie to say that Lü Yao wasn't feeling guilty.

Rong Nianqing has recently learned a lot of inside information, which is why she introduced Uncle Li, whom she knows at home, to Lü Yao.

With Uncle Li's men in Silla protecting her, she felt much more at ease.

Rong Nianqing escorted Wang Shu and Lü Yao to their residence and helped Lü Yao back home. Wang Shu then busied himself preparing a hangover soup. After taking a hot bath and drinking the hangover soup and glucose, Lü Yao felt much better, as his burning stomach and esophagus had been quite soothed.

Being slightly tipsy is the most comfortable feeling.

The feeling of being drunk is the most unpleasant; not only does it upset the stomach, but it also makes the body feel like it has a high fever.

Wang Shu was taking care of Lü Yao. Seeing Lü Yao's pale face and bluish lips, she felt both heartache and a little resentful. However, she knew that Lü Yao had no choice in that situation, so she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She could only anxiously stay by his side.

Lu Yao grasped Wang Shu's hand and said, "It's okay, sister, she's just drunk."

Wang Shu pursed her lips: "Being drunk is also very uncomfortable. It's not like I've never been drunk before."

Lu Yao's eyes were a little dazed, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but stare at Wang Shu's face, his unfocused eyes revealing heartache: "Then who took care of you when you were drunk before?"

Wang Shu was immediately stumped by the question. Dead memories surged back like a tsunami, reminding her of her lonely and desolate life in the past.

Before she could speak, Lü Yao tightened his grip on Wang Shu's hand, his unfocused eyes straining to focus: "I promise, from now on, only one of us will get drunk, and I'll take care of you when you're drunk!"

As he spoke, he struggled to sit up.

Wang Shu took a deep breath, then immediately pressed Lü Yao into the sofa: "Okay, okay, I believe you."

As she spoke, she nestled into Lü Yao's arms and suddenly said with a mischievous smile, "If we both get drunk, let Xiao Jie take care of us. She'll be happy to do so."

what?
Lu Yao was taken aback by Wang Shu's sudden remark, and then laughed along with her: "Can she take good care of us? I bet she'll do something nasty behind our backs. To prevent that day from coming, we need to train in advance."

Wang Shu, who was nestled in Lü Yao's arms, was taken aback: "Huh? What are you going to do?"

Lu Yao hugged Wang Shu tightly, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, and said with a smile, "That's right."

Wang Shu was both angry and amused: "You're so drunk and you're still not behaving yourself? Are you even capable of anything?"

After being sobered up by the hangover soup and glucose, Lü Yao had recovered considerably. He immediately rolled over and pinned Wang Shu down, the two of them so close on the sofa that Wang Shu could smell the aroma of alcohol emanating from Lü Yao's breath.

In the ambiguous atmosphere, even Lü Yao's scent made Wang Shu feel slightly tipsy.

Lu Yao said, "Here's a little-known fact: when people are drunk, they become more powerful because of the increased activity in their central nervous system and the numbing of their bodily sensations."

Wang Shu's eyes widened: "Even more amazing?"

Lü Yao was already exhausting enough for her to deal with normally, if he were any more formidable... Before she could even offer a polite refusal, Lü Yao had already cut off any way for Wang Shu to refuse.

And just as Lü Yao had said, Wang Shu experienced a plus version of Lü Yao.

After Lü Yao finally fell into a deep sleep due to drunkenness and exhaustion, Wang Shu, despite his aching body, settled Lü Yao down, took a shower, put on a silk nightgown, and then sat on a recliner in front of the French windows in the living room.

"call--"

Recalling the plus version of Lü Yao in her mind, Wang Shu grinned, feeling both happy and a little scared... to the point that she really wanted to share this feeling.

So Wang Shu picked up his phone, found Jian Xiaojie's chat box on WeChat, and sent her a message saying, "You know what? Getting drunk is like taking some special drugs."

Jian Xiaojie sent a message a while later: "It depends on the person."

Then the next message came right away: "Something's not right! Why are you suddenly saying this? Damn it! You tried it on Lü Yao? Damn it! That kid is so cunning, he always holds back when he drinks, I've never really gotten him drunk! How come you tried the drunk Lü Yao yourself first!"

Wang Shu smiled sweetly: "Sorry, I tried it for you first. I really can't handle it. I'll ask you to help next time."

Jian Xiaojie: "[Frustrated][Frustrated][Frustrated] I should have gone with you guys! That guy who asked me to do something tonight is a real jerk!"

Wang Shu couldn't help but soothe him: "Alright, alright, don't be angry. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. By the way, when I go to Silla in a while, you have to take good care of Lü Yao for me."

Jian Xiaojie said sourly, "Ugh, don't you even care about me? All you care about is that little rascal."

Wang Shu's mood suddenly sank, and she replied to the message with some sadness: "It's a pity that I don't have much ability. Actually, I really want to protect you from the wind and rain. You are all very, very important people to me."

this time.

There was a long pause on Jian Xiaojie's end.

Such heartfelt words always deliver a devastating blow when people least expect it. Even a woman like Jian Xiaojie would feel incredibly warmed and then fall into a daze after hearing Wang Shu say these words.

After a long time.

Jian Xiaojie replied to the message: "Don't worry, I've got everything covered."

Actually, Jian Xiaojie originally added a sentence after that: "You don't need to shelter me from the wind and rain, you just need to hold me tight."

But after thinking about it, he deleted the message from the chat box. She felt it was too cheesy, or rather, the emotions it contained were too intense, so intense that it was somewhat inappropriate for both her and Wang Shu.

"so……"

"Is it just not the right time?"

Lost in a daze, Jian Xiaojie couldn't help but sigh. She didn't even know when was the right time to utter such emotionally charged words.

While Lü Yao was asleep, a strange emotion slowly flowed between Wang Shu and Jian Xiaojie.

……

The next day, Lü Yao slept until almost noon before waking up.

As soon as he woke up, he felt unusually dry mouth and had a headache. But Wang Shu, who had woken up earlier than Lü Yao, had already prepared sour plum drink. When Lü Yao struggled to sit up from the sofa, Wang Shu took the sour plum drink out of the refrigerator.

She laughed and said, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so I'll have some plum juice to quench my thirst and relieve the hangover."

Lü Yao laughed and said, "You're being too kind to me."

He picked up the plum juice and took a sip. The sweet and sour plum juice was icy cold, and it was especially refreshing for Lü Yao, who had been burning up from the alcohol all night. Lü Yao quickly finished the whole bowl of plum juice.

Wang Shu advised from the side, "Alright, drink slowly."

She looked at Lü Yao, who was drinking heartily, with tenderness in her eyes: "I can't go to Silla with you, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to help you much. This is all I can do."

After finishing a whole bowl of plum juice, Lü Yao let out a hearty sigh: "What kind of talk is that? What you've done is absolutely amazing, and no one can replace you."

Wang Shu chuckled and complained, "You're so sweet-talking."

After finishing his plum juice, Lü Yao took out his phone and checked it. He found that Rong Nianqing had sent him a message that morning:

"Uncle Li asked me to tell you that you can contact Uncle Qiao directly, and he will arrange for someone to meet you in Silla."

A dozen minutes later, Rong Nianqing sent another message: "I've given your contact information to Uncle Qiao. Also, here is Uncle Qiao's contact information."

Then came Uncle Qiao's friend request on WeChat, and a phone call from an unknown number.

The call from the unknown number was also from Uncle Qiao.

Lu Yao quickly called Uncle Qiao back. The call was answered quickly, and he immediately apologized three times: "I'm so sorry, Uncle Qiao. I drank too much last night and slept until now. I'm so sorry I didn't answer your call. Please forgive me."

Qiao Maozhong is a man with a refined and scholarly air. His neat buzz cut and slightly graying sideburns add to his elegant and weathered charm.

He always spoke slowly and deliberately, and his voice was low and deep.

So Qiao Maozhong appeared very calm and amiable on the phone, laughing heartily, "Haha, I understand, I understand. It's a good thing for young people to sleep more, unlike us older folks who don't sleep much even after drinking a lot. I really envy the physical condition of young people." Lü Yao then laughed, "Look at what you're saying, you're clearly in your prime, and you look better than me. Your body's metabolism is obviously better than mine, which is why you wake up earlier than me."

A brief exchange of pleasantries brought the two closer together.

After exchanging pleasantries with Lü Yao, Qiao Maozhong said, "I'll give you the contact information of two people later. You can contact them directly before you go to Silla. They are young people like you, only a few years older than you. They are very capable, so just let them know if you need anything."

Lü Yao expressed his gratitude once again.

Qiao Maozhong laughed heartily, "Don't be so polite. If you ever come to Luzhou Province or the Northeast, I'll definitely treat you well."

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Of course, of course. I will definitely visit you when I return from Silla."

After finishing their conversation, Lü Yao hung up the phone and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

It's clear that Uncle Li is indeed very powerful in Silla. Not only does Uncle Li not need to take action in Silla, but even Qiao Maozhong, who is by his side, can confidently handle the matter by sending two of his men.

Right.

Silla was simply too small.

Only the Silla people like to exaggerate their own abilities. They can even fabricate historical dramas where a Silla general shoots out one of Li Er's eyes and then forces Li Shimin to kneel down and apologize to them... Even if it's a heavily modified drama, this is still too exaggerated.

Only domestic female authors and screenwriters can rival these Silla people in terms of fantasy history. (Damn, I think I swore really badly.)
After all, domestic female-oriented authors and screenwriters have written plots such as "princes going to marry foreign rulers" and "the eldest princess versus Li Er".

Yi Sun-sin, the war god who was hailed as the greatest by the Silla people, wasn't even qualified to enter Yi Yeo-song's command tent.

So who exactly was Li Rusong?
Li Rusong's father was Li Chengliang, who raised Nurhaci in Liaodong—these two combined wouldn't even make it into the top ten of the Ming Dynasty's famous generals.

If it weren't for a good master backing them up, Silla wouldn't even be able to withstand the pressure from their neighbors.

No wonder Uncle Li and Uncle Qiao looked down on that side and directly assigned their subordinates from Silla to handle Lü Yao's affairs in Silla.

After reaching an agreement with Qiao Maozhong, Qiao Maozhong sent over two people's contact cards and added Lü Yao to a small group chat.

Uncle Qiao directly tagged his two subordinates in the group chat and said, "You two be quick-witted and take good care of this person."

He spoke very politely, but the two people he tagged both replied with "Yes!"

The messages from the two people tagged made Lü Yao feel a military atmosphere coming towards him.

After explaining the situation, Uncle Qiao said in the group chat, "Xiao Lü, you can just tell them if you have anything to say."

Lu Yao texted, "Okay, Uncle Qiao."

Uncle Qiao: "Then you young people can chat, I won't get involved."

As he was saying this, Uncle Qiao, who had created the group chat, left the chat room, leaving the space to Lu Yao and the other two.

In the group chat, a man wearing sunglasses sent a message: "Hello Brother Lü, Uncle Qiao has told us about your situation. My name is Xu Shuncai."

The other profile picture was of a short-haired woman who looked wild and fierce, but who looked a bit like Gwei Lun-mei. She said in the group, "My name is Gui Ya."

Damn it?

Lu Yao looked at his phone and chuckled, surprised to find that this person also had the surname Gui.

He said in the group chat, "It's nice to meet you both. See you in Silla."

Xu Shuncai replied, "OK, I'll personally pick you up when you get here. What kind of pomp and circumstance do you want? Let me tell you, Brother Lu, the people of Silla here are quite extravagant when it comes to making a scene."

Lu Yao said with embarrassment, "Keep it simple. Also, I'm probably a bit young, so just call me Lu Yao."

Xu Shuncai laughed in the group chat: "Hahaha, the way you address someone has nothing to do with age. If I really treated you that badly, Uncle Qiao would skin me alive and make me into a straw man."

Helpless, Lü Yao could only go along with it.

After finalizing everything regarding the trip to Silla, Lü Yao told Rong Nianqing, "Uncle Qiao has arranged our personnel for the trip to Silla; they will pick us up at the airport."

Rong Nianqing also said directly, "I'll arrange for a plane to take you there. By the way, I've also contacted Lee Rongzhen from Samsung. She's very interested in our invitation and we've arranged to meet next week. The exact time hasn't been set yet; I'll let you know when it is."

Lü Yao: "Okay!"

With the help of Rong Nianqing and Jian Xiaojie, preparations for the trip to Silla were completed quickly.

Lu Yao thought about what he was doing and realized that there were many things he needed to get started on.

He needs to make proper arrangements for his company in Shangnan. Although most of his businesses are related to the internet and he doesn't have much of a physical supply chain, there are still quite a few things to manage in the middle.

Luckily, Lu Yao poached Yao Qiguang back then. Without Yao Qiguang's help with operations, he would have been in real trouble.

And now.

Feng Ji and Yang Qi are in charge of technology and have experience managing large teams of two to three hundred people.

In addition, Yao Qiguang himself has experience managing the operation of multiple small studios, so there is nothing to worry about on the game company's side.

Voice chat platforms are still in their boom period, generating substantial daily revenue. Zhu Junyan and his gang are seasoned gamers, so operating them is no problem for them. All they need to do is keep an eye on them and prevent them from taking advantage of their local interests.

This was a red line that Lü Yao had repeatedly warned against, because Lü Yao was genuinely afraid that something substantial would happen and another Xiaohui-jun would emerge in the company.

Although the environment for men and women in 2015 was not as harsh and dangerous as it would be ten years later, and no substantial evidence was needed to arrest someone, companies, especially those with a borderline nature like voice chat platforms, naturally preferred to avoid trouble.

If Zhu Junyan can't even handle this little thing... then that's really unacceptable.

What worries Lü Yao most are the MCN companies that incubate marketing accounts and online trolls.

Therefore, even if Lü Yao goes to Silla, he will still keep this part of the business in his hands.

Although the profits generated by MCN companies are far less than those of game companies, and even less than those of voice chat platforms, they are a sharp sword in Lü Yao's hands, a deadly weapon for Lü Yao to conquer all sides on the Internet.

As for the QQ battle robe business he started with.

This part of the business is now mainly handled by Monia... And because of Monia and Jian Xiaojie's relationship, this part of the business, which was not very profitable to begin with, now brings a considerable amount of business to Lü Yao and Jian Xiaojie every month.

The money-making items are certainly not the QQ battle robes, which have very low production costs.

The real money-making industry is foreign trade.

Goods from within China can be converted into various foreign currencies after circulating abroad. Different foreign currencies have different exchange rate differences with the domestic currency. Making good use of these exchange rate differences can generate profits that QQ's clothing business could never catch up with in a lifetime.

Although this operation is very profitable, it is actually written into the Criminal Law.

If you directly use money through a bank to obtain this money, then congratulations, you will unlock the "crime of illegally reselling foreign exchange".

but!

As long as you have a foreign trade company and import/export invoices, you can legally spend money in different places overseas using the goods.

Monia is currently focusing on this task.

So Lü Yao simply cut off this part of the business and let Jian Xiaojie do whatever she wanted.

As for Huasheng Life, Rong Nianqing stayed in China with Gan Xiaoxi and Wang Shu by her side. If anything happened, she could contact Lü Yao directly online, so there was no need to worry too much.

In addition to his daily tasks, Lü Yao was also writing scripts...

He certainly can't just sit idly by when he gets to Silla. He needs a shell company to cover his tracks, and this cover will pretend to be an outsider that Lee Yong-jin invited from China. But in reality, Lee Yong-jin's invitation and the outsider are Lu Yao's real cover.

His true purpose was to get in touch with Mr. Yang Baek-song, who worked at Sungkyunkwan University in Silla, through Lee Yong-jin.

In order to play his role well, Lü Yao plans to portray himself as a businessman who intends to invest in an entertainment company in Silla. The script he has is the script for "Parasite," which will be released in Silla four years later and sweep numerous awards.

This script is great.

In Silla, it would be even better if he, a Dongdaemun (a high-ranking official in Korea), filmed it as a publicity stunt.

this day.

Lu Yao was engrossed in writing a script at his company when Wang Shu and Jian Xiaojie came to visit him. Jian Xiaojie curiously approached Lu Yao and discovered that his computer screen displayed something resembling a script. She couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Wow? You can write stories too?"

"Let me take a look. 'Parasite'? The title of this story script sounds a bit strange."

Although Lü Yaowen had copied the script, he still felt embarrassed and quickly closed and locked the document, saying, "Go away, what are you looking at?"

Jian Xiaojie laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a leisurely interest."

Lu Yao chuckled and said, "Nonsense, this is just preliminary preparation for going to Silla. Alright, come over and have some late-night snacks."

He didn't want to talk too much about it.

Is plagiarism something to be proud of?

But after that night, Jian Xiaojie started spreading the word about Lü Yao writing screenplays within their small circle, which led Rong Nianqing, Gan Xiaoxi, and even Lin Yongzhen to occasionally come over and tease him, saying, "Oh~ isn't this our great writer~"

hateful!

At times like this, Lü Yao wanted to curse Jian Xiaojie a hundred times over!

But Jian Xiaojie seemed to have guessed what Lü Yao was thinking. These past few days, all you could hear was Jian Xiaojie gossiping everywhere, but you could never see her! Isn't that infuriating?

A week later, Samsung's princess, Lee Yong-jin, finally managed to squeeze out time from her schedule with Yunnan Pharmaceutical and her upcoming schedule to take a private jet to Shangnan to begin her meeting with Rong Nianqing.

Rong Nianqing arranged the meeting at the Mountain Lake Hotel again.

This is a hotel that Shangnan usually uses to receive VIPs. Although it is not well-known and has an unassuming appearance, the service here is of a very high standard.
