Film and Television World Life Record

After Fan Shengying's leg was broken, her cell phone was also taken away, leaving her unable to contact the outside world. Terrified, she could only endure her injuries and the excruciating pain in her leg as she crawled out of the grove.

With only one leg broken and so many injuries all over his body, how far can he crawl?

After climbing for more than half an hour, I had only covered a hundred meters. Not only was I exhausted, but my injuries were also aggravated.

It wasn't until the next morning that a nearby resident discovered Fan Shengying, and then called the police, who took her to the hospital.

Unfortunately, one of his legs was completely useless.

According to the doctor, Fan Shengying's broken leg was not serious; it wasn't a comminuted fracture or anything like that, and the chances of it being set and fully recovered are very high.

If Fan Shengying had treated herself simply after being beaten and waited until dawn to be found and taken to the hospital, her leg could have been saved.

Unfortunately, Fan Shengying climbed for so long and over such a long distance that she ruined the leg that could have been reattached.

This incident not only broke Fan's mother's heart, but Fan Shengmei also cried. After all, he was her brother, and she couldn't be as calm as Deng Jiajia.

The case was quickly solved, and unsurprisingly, it was done by several members of the Wang family as revenge for the two brothers' recent sentencing.

Several suspects were quickly apprehended. At Fan Shengmei's request, Li Mu helped her contact a well-known lawyer in Nantong. The Wang family members would inevitably face a heavy sentence this time.

After this incident, Fan Shengying became completely obedient. Not only did she act submissively towards outsiders, but she also became meek and submissive towards Fan Shengmei. Her previous arrogant and domineering attitude completely disappeared.

He never mentioned compensating with the house or money again.

While feeling gratified, Fan Shengmei also didn't want her family's savings to dwindle, so she used the money left over from selling the house to open a small supermarket on a street near her hometown in Nantong.

The money was handed over to my mother, brother, and sister-in-law to manage, so they had something to do and could supplement the family income.

In an instant, Fan's father, the pillar of the family who favored sons over daughters, became paralyzed, and Fan Shengying, who caused trouble everywhere and was a bully at home, also became lame. The family could only rely on the woman to take care of and support it, and the power of the family naturally fell into other hands.

Neither Fan's mother nor Fan Shengying's wife are assertive people, and they also need Fan Shengmei's financial assistance, so it goes without saying who has the most say in the family.

And so, the atmosphere in the Fan family turned out to be surprisingly good, finally resembling a normal family.

Fan Shengmei felt much more relaxed. Although she still sent a living allowance home every month, without all those troublesome things, her brother, who used to cause trouble all the time, became more obedient, and the burden on her family was reduced.

Having gone through this experience and tempering, Fan Shengmei has become much more skilled and assertive in handling family issues. In addition, with the establishment of new family rules, as long as Fan Shengmei herself doesn't act recklessly...

That kind of predicament will probably never happen again.

……

That day, amidst his busy work schedule, Li Mu had a rare opportunity to spend time with Fan Shengmei. After shopping at the mall, the two, in high spirits, went to a nice bar nearby for a few drinks.

After having his fun, Li Mu ordered a designated driver online and planned to return to Joyful Song.

However, when they saw the designated driver, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and Fan Shengmei was also stunned, somewhat unable to believe it. The designated driver opposite them was equally stunned, his face flushed red with shame, wishing he could dig a hole and bury his head in it.

This designated driver was none other than Wang Baichuan. What a coincidence!

Li Mu then remembered that, according to the plot, after Wang Baichuan's company went bankrupt, he did indeed become a designated driver and had even met Fan Shengmei.

Did they go bankrupt like in the drama?

Li Mu pretended not to know Wang Baichuan and glanced at the two of them with a smile.

"Shengmei, you two know each other?"

Fan Shengmei then realized what was happening and quickly introduced, "This is my college classmate, the one I told you about, the one who came to Shanghai to develop his career."

Li Mu nodded: "Oh, I remember, isn't he..." He stopped mid-sentence.

But Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan both knew what the second half of the sentence meant: "Wasn't he here to do business? How did he end up as a designated driver?"

Fan Shengmei didn't know how to respond. She had always thought that this classmate was a complete liar, praising the company as having a bright future, portraying himself as a young and promising talent, and deceiving her by renting luxury cars.

You make it sound so impressive, but only half a year has passed. How did you end up working as a designated driver? Are you just experiencing life?

Fan Shengmei felt only relief. Luckily, she had been quick-witted enough to recognize this classmate's blatant lies and made a clean getaway. She hadn't done those shady things for him, otherwise she might have been completely fooled.

Wang Baichuan also had his own unspeakable suffering. He had boasted too much back then, and who would have thought that only half a year had passed since they last had coffee together, he would go bankrupt.

Unable to find a suitable job, I had no choice but to become a driver.

Unfortunately, he ran into Fan Shengmei, the last person he wanted to see at that moment. Looking at her beautiful and charming appearance, and then at Li Mu, who had an extraordinary temperament, a bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he felt even more inferior.

They are a perfect couple. Not to mention now, even before he went bankrupt, he felt inferior to Li Mu.

He originally planned to settle down, repackage himself, rebuild his public image, and then go after Fan Shengmei. He intended to put in a lot of effort to pursue her and see if he could win the heart of his goddess.

Now, all he can do is smile bitterly; it's all too late. His true situation has been exposed to the goddess, and he no longer has the chance to even put on a brave face.

With his looks and personality, how could the goddess possibly be interested in him without proper grooming? He knew very well what this meant: in the future, it would be difficult for him and the goddess to have any further contact.

Next, Fan Shengmei and Wang Baichuan exchanged brief greetings and then fell silent, as if they were strangers. She didn't want to expose his shortcomings, so she asked Wang Baichuan what was wrong with his company, why he was working as a chauffeur, and why he wasn't driving his luxury car anymore.

She didn't care about these things, wasn't interested in knowing, and wanted to save face for her old classmate.

Fan Shengmei didn't ask. Wang Baichuan opened his mouth several times, but ultimately kept quiet. The company was already bankrupt; what was there to explain? The goddess hadn't pressed him, saving him some face. Was he supposed to expose his weaknesses and reveal his embarrassing situation?

Chapter 166 The End of the Simp

Li Mu wasn't surprised by Wang Baichuan's bankruptcy. According to the plot, although Wang Baichuan was very hardworking, he didn't have much talent in business.

For example, in the drama, through Andy's connections, Mr. Bao gave him an excellent opportunity: if he could secure the Bao family's order and seize this opportunity, given the scale of the Bao family and its influence in Nantong, Wang Baichuan's company would soar to new heights, multiplying in size several times over, and would never lack orders again.

It's a pity that he didn't seize this great opportunity, which Fan Shengmei got for him through Andy.

It was a done deal; as long as the product quality was fine and Mr. Bao was there, the contract could be signed immediately.

However, Wang Baichuan messed things up; none of the samples he sent were up to standard.

Xiao Bao is a businessman, not a philanthropist. People gave you a chance because of Andy, but you didn't seize it. Who can you blame?

If Wang Baichuan can seize the opportunity to climb up the Bao family's coattails and maintain a good relationship with Andy by leveraging Fan Shengmei, he will definitely not lack orders in the future, and the company's growth and strength will be just around the corner.

It's a pity that someone who usually seems so shrewd would just watch such a great opportunity slip through their fingers. That's quite something.

Afterwards, Wang Baichuan tried to make amends by explaining to Andy that his company was a shell company acting as an intermediary, without its own factory. He usually got orders through small factories for processing, earning a profit from the price difference.

However, larger factories already have their own sales and business departments, so they don't need him at all. Only small factories that lack orders have a place to use him.

Unfortunately, Bao's has very high precision requirements for its parts, and these small factories, despite their best efforts, still cannot achieve such high precision.

Wang Baichuan complained to Andy about how much pressure Fan Shengmei put on him, how hard he worked to help Fan Shengmei realize her wish to buy a house in Shanghai, and how important this deal and opportunity were to him.

She wanted to evoke Andy's sympathy in this way.

Finally, he tentatively asked Andy if she could make an exception, ask Xiao Bao Zong to put in a good word for her, and relax the conditions so that the deal could be signed.

Unfortunately, Andy is a very different person. She's willing to help with personal matters, but when it comes to business, she's meticulous and intolerant of any wrongdoing. How could she possibly violate her principles by speaking up for Xiao Bao Zong for Wang Baichuan's sake?

I refused very directly.

Seeing that things were hopeless, Wang Baichuan, in his disappointment, asked Andy to help him deceive Fan Shengmei, saying that he had successfully taken on the job.

Fan Shengmei has her own job and doesn't usually have access to his company's business. As long as Andy doesn't leak the information, Fan Shengmei won't know the truth. He can continue to put on a show of wealth, making Fan Shengmei believe that the company is making a lot of money and that buying a house is just around the corner.

Andy originally didn't want to get involved in their messy affairs. Last time, the two of them tried to put on a show, one pretending to own a car and the other pretending to own a house, which ended up being very unpleasant.

It hasn't been long, and Wang Baichuan is already resorting to his old tricks, putting on a show of wealth in front of Fan Shengmei. But how long can he keep this a secret? If he claims to have taken on such a huge order from the Bao family but hasn't made a single penny, how will he hide it then? How will he lie?

Are they going to continue making up lies to deceive Fan Shengmei and finding other excuses to fool her?

Andy didn't want to agree, and didn't want to get involved in their mess anymore, which ended up offending Fan Shengmei and making her lose both sides.

However, Wang Baichuan pleaded and begged, giving a long list of reasons, making it seem as if his relationship with Fan Shengmei would be over if Andy didn't agree. Andy had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

But in the end, it couldn't be kept from Fan Shengmei. She had finally managed to help Wang Baichuan's company get on the good side of the Bao family, and she was extremely concerned about it.

Coincidentally, a classmate worked at Bao's, so she inquired about the progress of the matter with her classmate. To her great surprise, it was rejected due to quality issues.

Fan Shengmei asked Wang Baichuan for confirmation, but Wang Baichuan was not about to tell the truth and made up a bunch of reasons to fool her. In short, he denied it the first time, but through Andy's connections, Xiao Baozong gave him another chance and relaxed the conditions.

Fan Shengmei was skeptical and asked her classmates again to confirm, only to find that it was not true at all. She questioned Wang Baichuan again, and Wang Baichuan, seeing that he could no longer hide it, finally told the truth.

Their previously good relationship plummeted again because of this deception. Even Andy was blamed by Fan Shengmei for helping Wang Baichuan cover it up, leading to a very unpleasant situation.

It is clear that Wang Baichuan's past actions could not be considered unintentional; he has a habit of lying and putting on a show of wealth.

Furthermore, if we really want to be fair, despite how much Wang Baichuan fawned over Fan Shengmei and how much he sacrificed, he actually gained a lot in return.

Putting everything else aside, how would he, the owner of a small shell company that could go bankrupt at any time, have known people like Xiao Bao Zong, Wei Wei, and Andy—people who are usually hard to even meet—without Fan Shengmei?

What's more, he also gets people to help him from time to time.

Let alone the people mentioned above, without Fan Shengmei's connection, even Qu Xiaoxiao, a rich second-generation, wouldn't bother with him.

If you encounter a person with business acumen and social skills, and have such a relationship and network, then pursue Fan Shengmei properly and cultivate your image as a deeply affectionate person.

By using Fan Shengmei to infiltrate the small circle of the 22nd floor, and properly cultivating this network of connections and resources that would be difficult for someone of his level to obtain, it might not be enough to make his career soar, but it would definitely be of great help.

Unfortunately, Wang Baichuan's persona as a sycophant and deeply affectionate man was established, and he managed to barely infiltrate the small circle of the 22nd floor, where he could easily utilize the connections and relationships through Fan Shengmei.

However, one must be strong to succeed, and he squandered such good conditions.

After his company went bankrupt, he could only work as a chauffeur. Eventually, through Fan Shengmei's connections, he was introduced to a factory owner and became a manager, earning tens of thousands of yuan a month. He was able to get back on his feet.

……

Thinking of this, Li Mu shook his head and stopped paying attention to Wang Baichuan. This man was out of the game from now on, and he probably couldn't be a sycophant anymore.

Next, the two became like strangers. Wang Baichuan drove in front, while Li Mu sat in the back with his arm around Fan Shengmei.

Both of them were slightly drunk. Fan Shengmei's alluring body twisted and turned in Li Mu's arms, occasionally giggling and saying things that made people blush, making intimate gestures, or directly offering a kiss.
