Film and Television World Life Record

Yu Huanshui didn't know how he got out of the hospital. His mind was foggy, and he walked unsteadily. He felt fine when he came in, but he never expected it to end like this.

At that moment, he thought about many things, about his wife Gan Hong, and his son Yu Chen... Since things had already come to this, he might as well get a divorce and save himself from being a burden to them.

Returning home, looking at the empty house and all alone, Yu Huanshui felt a wave of loneliness wash over him; his life was completely over.

Just as Yu Huanshui was feeling melancholic, his phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and put it to his ear: "Who is it?"

Zhao Juemin's voice came from the other end of the line. Knowing the USB drive wasn't in Yu Huanshui's possession, he naturally wouldn't be as polite as President Wei: "Yu Huanshui, what's going on with you? Don't think I'll let it slide just because you sent a text message asking for leave. If you don't want to work, just say so, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Huanshui hung up the phone. He no longer cared about work and had no interest in listening to Zhao Juemin.

Zhao Juemin stared blankly at the phone in his hand, somewhat incredulous. Yu Huanshui actually dared to hang up on him… Where did he get the guts? Others might not know, but he knew perfectly well that the USB drive was in his hands, not Yu Huanshui's. Where did he get the confidence to hang up the phone?

Seeing that Zhao Juemin's communication was not going well, Wei Guangjun glared at him and said, "I told you a long time ago, you need to be gentle in your tone and have a good attitude, but what you did..."

He took out his phone and said, "Give me the number, I'll call..."

Zhao Juemin asked, "Is this necessary?"

Wei Guangjun said with a serious expression, "It's absolutely necessary!"

Zhao Juemin had no choice but to reluctantly give out the number. He, the real Li Kui, was no match for the imposter and had no way to defend himself.

Soon, the call connected. Yu Huanshui looked at the phone ringing again and reluctantly answered it, putting it to his ear.

"Is this never going to end? What are you trying to do?"

Wei Guangjun quickly identified himself: "Yu Huanshui, I am Wei Guangjun."

Yu Huanshui was stunned for a moment: "President Wei!"

Wei Guangjun smiled and said, "It's like this, Brother Huanshui, I'd like to invite you out for a chat. There are some things we can discuss privately."

Yu Huanshui said, "What do we have to talk about? Did Zhao Juemin snitch on me?"

Mr. Wei said, "No, no... How could that be? I just wanted to see you!"

Yu Huanshui thought about the grievances he had suffered at the company over the years, especially the red wine and mooncake incident some time ago, which became the fuse for his conflict with Gan Hong and ultimately led to the current situation.

Now that they have terminal illnesses, they naturally don't care about anything anymore.

"Why did you add me? You put my picture on the wall, made me clean toilets, and let everyone humiliate and laugh at me. Can't you stop picking on the weak? What exactly do you want?"

Wei Guangjun said, "Yu Huanshui, how dare you talk to me like that?"

Yu Huanshui said, "Don't tell me you're just a branch manager; I'm not afraid of the head office even if you were." He then hung up the phone.

Sure enough, no more calls came in.

The next day, Yu Huanshui still didn't go to work. Given his current physical condition, he had given up on going to work and was preoccupied with his illness.

After slumping on the sofa and dozing off for a while, Yu Huanshui suddenly heard the doorbell ring. He opened the door listlessly and saw Li Mu standing in front of him. After all, Li Mu had helped him and even treated him to a good time. He quickly said, "Brother Li! What brings you here?"

Li Mu pointed upstairs: "Isn't the renovation almost finished? Come and take a look, so that they don't cut corners and the quality doesn't meet the standards."

Yu Huanshui nodded in deep agreement: "You're right, we have to keep a close eye on the renovation."

Li Mu glanced at the somewhat messy living room, his gaze settling on a bottle of Moutai. He suddenly chuckled, "Brother, you have quite the refined taste, drinking Moutai at home!"

Yu Huanshui smiled and said, "Brother Li, there's still some wine left. How about we have a drink together?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "Great!"

As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa, picked up a bottle of Moutai, and suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" He then picked up the Moutai bottle and began to examine it from top to bottom.

"Brother Huanshui, is this Moutai fake?"

Yu Huanshui was stunned for a moment: "Impossible, I bought it from a specialty store."

Li Mu picked it up and smelled it: "It's definitely fake, the smell is wrong."

Yu Huanshui was a little stunned. He picked up the Moutai and looked at it from left to right: "I bought this for more than a thousand yuan. How could it be fake?"

Li Mu said, "Brother! Whether this wine is fake or not has nothing to do with the price; it depends on the merchant's conscience. Look at the bottom; it's all smooth and shiny. It's obviously fake wine."

"Moreover, judging from the smell, this is not ordinary counterfeit liquor, but a very low-quality counterfeit liquor, which has been mixed with a lot of industrial alcohol."

Yu Huanshui stood there stunned for a moment, then picked up the bottle, looked at it, and smelled it. He too began to have doubts. Actually, he had felt that the taste was off when he first started drinking it, but since he had never tasted Moutai before and didn't know its flavor, he didn't investigate further. He never expected to be cheated when buying a bottle of liquor.

I already felt unlucky enough, and then this happened. So I immediately took the Moutai and went to the liquor store to settle the score.

Li Mu quickly stopped him: "Going there like that will probably not be very effective. People who sell this kind of fake liquor have a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

Yu Huanshui said, "Then what should we do? Should we just go and find out the truth?"

Li Mu asked, "This level of intensity isn't enough. If you're going to do something, go all out. Do you want to make money?"

Despite being terminally ill, Yu Huanshui's eyes still lit up when the topic of making money came up. Even after he's gone, his wife and children will remain, especially his children, whose daily expenses and schooling will require money; every little bit he earns is a blessing.

How do you make money?

Li Mu said, "Generally, these specialty stores have a policy of compensating customers three times over for counterfeit goods. As long as you have solid evidence to prove that you bought it from their store, you can report it directly."

"Not only will you be recognized for your meritorious service, but you will also receive three times the compensation."

Yu Huanshui was immediately tempted.

"You suggested we buy counterfeit alcohol and then report it."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Yes, do you want to get involved?"

Yu Huanshui hesitated for a moment and said, "Buying wine also has costs, especially Moutai. How much money do we need to prepare?"

Li Mu said, "This is just a specialty store, and the stock of Moutai won't be too much, including counterfeit Moutai. Let's take 100,000 as the benchmark. Buy more if there's more, and less if there's less."

"As long as their wine is genuine, they can make several times the profit in no time."

Yu Huanshui touched his wallet. Since Gan Hong controlled the family finances, he didn't have much money on him, let alone be able to invest.

"Brother Li, um... I don't have any money on me?"

Li Mu glanced at him: "So you're not planning to participate?"

Yu Huanshui looked reluctant, but unfortunately he really had no money.

Li Mu smiled and said, "You also deserve credit for this. You bought the wine, and you were the one who got scammed."

"How about this, I'll keep 20% for you. Consider the money a loan from me. We'll distribute it all together once we make some money."

Yu Huanshui said with a look of surprise and delight, "Thank you, Brother Li."

Next, Li Mu prepared various filming tools and equipment for securing evidence, and drove Yu Huanshui out of the residential area, quickly arriving near the specialty store.

The two got out of the car, Li Mu turned on the filming equipment, and gestured to Yu Huanshui, "Let's go!"

Upon arriving at the specialty store, Li Mu said, "Boss, I heard that your Moutai is reasonably priced here? Only 1,499 yuan, ex-factory price."

The store owner said, "That's right. My Moutai is absolutely the cheapest. You can't buy it at such a good price anywhere else."

Li Mu nodded: "That's right, I'm having a banquet over there, so I'll buy more!"

He then asked the shop owner, "How much Moutai do you have left? I'll buy it all!"

The shop owner was somewhat surprised: "Really... you bought them all?"

Li Mu waved his hand: "As long as the price doesn't go up, just like before, I'll take as many as you have in the store."

A hint of surprise flashed in the shop owner's eyes: "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll take a look and load it onto your truck right away."

Li Mu nodded: "Okay."

Chapter 511 Divorce and Compensation

Watching the store owner happily load cases of Moutai onto the car, Li Mu and Yu Huanshui also smiled.

After emptying the store of 160,000 yuan worth of Moutai, Li Mu readily paid the bill and drove away under the store owner's intense gaze.

Yu Huanshui asked, "Brother Li, where are we going?"

Li Mu said, "Go to the testing center to verify its authenticity first, then you can report it."

The two arrived at the destination quickly, completed the formalities, left the Moutai behind, and estimated that it would take two days to get the results.

Nothing much happened after that. Yu Huanshui went home, and Li Mu drove to Gan Hong's residence.

Gan Hong was delighted to see Li Mu: "Didn't you say you'd be here this morning? Why are you only arriving now?"

Li Mu said, "This morning? I went to see Brother Huanshui this morning."

Gan Hong was taken aback: "You...you went to see Yu Huanshui? What do you want with him?"

Li Mu patted her shapely buttocks: "Why can't I find someone? Brother Huanshui hasn't offended me. Besides, his wife is with me now, what a great guy!"

Gan Hong said angrily, "You're not allowed to go. I'll divorce him soon and I won't be his wife anymore."

Li Mu smiled and asked, "When are you leaving?"

Gan Hong frowned: "I'm ready and can get the paperwork done anytime. But Yu Huanshui seems to be planning to pester me and drag it out."

"But don't worry, I'll find a way to get a divorce as soon as possible."

Li Mu grinned mischievously: "In today's society, getting a divorce isn't so easy. Even if you go through the court process and file a lawsuit, you'll have to go through at least two rounds. You also need to prove that the marital relationship has broken down and that you've been separated for more than two years before you can get a divorce smoothly."

"If Yu Huanshui wants to drag this out, he can do it for a year or two!"

Gan Hong's face darkened. She looked up and saw Li Mu gloating. She pinched him and said, "I've been unable to leave you all this time, haven't I? I've been into you too. You call Yu Huanshui your brother during the day, and sleep with your brother's wife at night. Aren't you happy? Exciting?"
