Film and Television World Life Record

As for Liang Anni, although she was temporarily suspended from her job, her case was downplayed by the head office due to her meritorious reporting, which was considered an act of atonement, and she was not pursued further. The focus of the accusations and prosecutions was on Wei Guangjun and Zhao Juemin.

Watching helplessly as Wei Guangjun and Zhao Juemin were taken away by the police, Liang Anni felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Only when she finally learned that she was safe and had escaped a disaster did she breathe a sigh of relief, find Li Mu, and cry her heart out in his arms. And that was the end of it.

A month later, Liang Anni was reinstated and even promoted to deputy general manager of the branch. As for Yu Huanshui, he gradually secured his position as sales director and performed quite well. Recently, he was about to sue Gan Hong for custody of their child.

Every time Gan Hong talked about this with Li Mu, she was worried, fearing that she would lose custody. Based on their jobs and income, Yu Huanshui had a better chance of winning.

Seeing Gan Hong's deep concern, Li Mu didn't want to get too involved. Was Yu Huanshui wrong to want custody of the child? If Gan Hong wanted the child, he could just give her one.

For the next period of time, Li Mu completely relaxed and was free from the pressure of his mission, living a carefree and unrestrained life until a full year had passed since he arrived in this world. After thinking for a while, Li Mu returned to the real world.

Chapter 519 Real World

Li Mu silently opened his eyes, checked the time, and realized that he hadn't been in the previous world for long; it was only a little past 10 p.m.

I got up and went to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the myriad lights outside and the bustling city night scene, and felt a sense of emotion.

A thought struck him, and the system appeared.

System: [Congratulations on completing the mission. Return to the main world.]

[Task Performance: Excellent]

[Task rewards are being calculated.]

[System: Select two items from the following options as mission rewards.]

[I. Three cards with a profit limit of 10 million]

[II. 3000-hour Learning Card] (After use, learning efficiency will increase threefold)

[Third, virtual currency worth 3000 million.]

[IV. Physical Fitness Rewards] (The effects of training in the film and television world, partially projected into the real world...)

[V. Monetary Rewards] (Wealth from the film and television world, a very small portion of which can be converted into real-world currency.)

I glanced at the mission rewards and was pleasantly surprised.

This is the first time a "learning card" has appeared. Although it only increases learning efficiency by three times, a total of 3000 hours is not a small amount.

He glanced at the other rewards, including 3000 million worth of virtual currency, but that was no longer important to him.

However, those three profit-limit cards, worth tens of millions, appeared in the rewards for the third time. He used two of them for DeepBlue Technology and Shangpin Apparel more than two months ago, and currently has four left.

This thing is very effective at boosting sales. As expected, Li Mu directly chose three 10 million profit credit cards as the second reward, bringing his total to seven.

After choosing my reward, even though it was past 10 p.m., I wasn't sleepy at all. I took a shower and changed into some light casual clothes. I went downstairs, got my car, watched a movie by myself, and then went to a street food stall for drinks and skewers. I didn't get home until after 2 a.m.

The next morning, Li Mu was still full of energy as he went for his run. In the morning, he went to the coffee shop again. There weren't many customers, and Li Mu didn't care whether the place was busy or not. He chose a quiet spot, opened his laptop, and checked his company emails while drinking coffee.

After browsing for a while, I can only say that there were both good and bad things to say.

Due to pandemic control measures, Zero Degree Bar and Muwu Sports Club have been struggling financially, with rent and staff salaries resulting in losses for the past few months, requiring financial support from Li Mu.

Of course, there is also a good side. Li Mu's game company, Zhongyou Technology, and the mask factory under Mingde Medical Equipment are doing very well, providing tens of millions of yuan in net profit every month.

The other two newly established companies, DeepBlue Technology and Shangpin Apparel, are also doing well. DeepBlue Technology's first product, a fitness tracker, has seen its sales soar, boosted by a multi-million yuan profit credit card.

Although they didn't make much money, sales increased, and the brand's influence gradually grew.

Shangpin Apparel, with the support of a profit card worth tens of millions of yuan, has also seen its sales rise steadily and has gained some recognition in the industry. Its first brand experience store, located in the core area of ​​the commercial district, has also recently opened.

Li Mu checked the validity period of Shangpin Apparel's first profit card with a limit of 10 million yuan, and there was still more than a month left.

On a whim, I locked onto the Shangpin Apparel Style series and activated a multi-million yuan profit credit card once again.

Product: Premium Apparel, "Wind" Series.

Final profit: ten million.

Optional profit margins: 1% to 80%.

Li Mu naturally chose a profit margin of one percent.

System: Shangpin's "Feng" series of apparel, based on a profit margin of one percent, requires sales of one billion to generate tens of millions in profit.

Based on a comprehensive evaluation, considering factors such as Shangpin Apparel's current brand awareness, product design style, price, quality, and customer purchasing desire, a full assessment was conducted.

For the Wind series of apparel, achieving a profit of ten million and sales of one billion would take at least three months.

The system allows users to freely choose a period of three to twelve months to complete sales and achieve millions in profits.

Not bad. The first 10 million yuan profit limit card that Li Mu activated would have taken four months to reach 1 billion yuan in sales, but this one only takes three months. This shows that Shangpin Apparel already has a certain market influence, which has driven up sales.

There's no need to consider it at all. If you want to promote your brand and achieve brand awareness, there's a huge difference between achieving 1 billion in sales in three months and 1 billion in sales in twelve months.

Without hesitation, I decisively chose the three-month option.

The system prompted: "The effects of the 10 million yuan profit card cannot be stacked. This 10 million yuan profit card will take effect in one and a half months. Do you want to confirm?"

After Li Mu confirmed it, the already illusory card turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

Besides the "Wind" series, which is used to boost sales and promote brand awareness, the "Cloud" series has also completed its design and is currently being manufactured by an OEM. The "Cloud" series mainly aims to capitalize on the brand influence of the "Wind" series to generate revenue.

The results are not yet significant. The real money will come when brand experience stores open in well-known pedestrian streets in major cities across the country, further establishing the Shangpin Apparel brand and launching more series.

DeepBlue Technology, in addition to its currently best-selling fitness tracker, has already finalized its next product: a smart robot vacuum and mop. This type of product is trendy and stylish, gives a sense of technology, yet the technology is not complex and the barrier to entry is low, making it a perfect fit for the relatively new DeepBlue Technology.

Li Mu has assembled a research and development team of over 100 people, fully committed to the development of the intelligent sweeping robot, and prototypes are expected to be available within a few months.

After finishing dealing with company emails, I put away my laptop, picked up a magazine from the bookshelf, and leisurely leaned back on the fabric sofa in the coffee shop to read it.

For the next period of time, Li Mu had some free time, except for devoting a small portion of his energy to controlling the company's overall direction. He also took the opportunity to discuss the renovation of his old family home with the design firm.

Back in his hometown, Li Mu bought four adjacent plots of land last year to build a traditional-style mansion. The design was commissioned to a professional design firm in the city and completed before the new year. Foundation construction also began in his hometown.

The project was suspended for more than a month during the Chinese New Year, but construction resumed quickly. The main structure has now been completed, and only the interior decoration remains.

However, Li Mu had high expectations, estimating that the renovation would cost more money and take longer than the main construction. He wasn't in a rush, though; he'd take it slow.

And so, nearly two months passed in the blink of an eye. The new 10 million yuan profit quota card for Shangpin Apparel will take effect in ten days, and Li Mu finally received his new task.

Upon seeing the system message, Li Mu was stunned. He had transmigrated into so many urban dramas, but he never expected to become a martial arts drama this time, especially the famous "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

There are many versions of this drama. Li Mu has only seen the Richie Jen version and the CCTV version, but those were more than ten years ago. He knows the general plot, but he has forgotten most of the specific details.

The system gave him three days to prepare. Li Mu read the original novel once and watched the CCTV version once. Then the time was up.

He was ready, when a flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and he had vanished.

Chapter 520 I Became Lin Pingzhi

A gentle breeze caresses the willows, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating; it is the season of vibrant spring in the South.

On West Gate Street in Fuzhou, in a magnificent mansion, Li Mu slowly opened his eyes. It was an antique-style side room with a rosewood bed, a golden nanmu table, and a long sword and a jewel-encrusted bow hanging on the wall.

Even in the bedside storage compartment, there was a dagger with a gold handle, which seemed to be something he always carried with him. Li Mu guessed that this was probably the dagger that had stabbed Yu Canghai's son, Yu Renyan, to death.

That's right, having just received the memories, he has now become the great scapegoat Lin Pingzhi.

Lin Pingzhi, who was young and impetuous, full of vigor and ambition, was at the peak of his life from the very beginning. Then, fate trampled him into the mud, burdened with the hatred of his family's massacre, and lived a miserable and unforgettable life.

However, he is only twelve years old this year, and it will be a long time before he can make a name for himself.

Then I looked at the system task: "Become a happy person, a person who can control their destiny, and make up for regrets."

In the martial arts world, to control one's destiny, one must possess corresponding strength, and superb martial arts skills are indispensable.

On the other hand, to make up for regrets, what were Lin Pingzhi's regrets?

Was it the tragic death of his parents and the extermination of his entire family? Or did he castrate himself and undergo a drastic change in personality?

Or perhaps he disappointed Yue Lingshan, who was devoted to him; or perhaps he was always overshadowed and treated as a rival, even after castrating himself to learn the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, he was still helpless against the Dugu Nine Swords and could not surpass Linghu Chong.

Li Mu's thoughts raced for a moment, and he sat up abruptly. He stretched his arms and legs, naturally bringing his exceptionally strong physique with him.

He pondered the martial arts skills he had learned.

As the young head of the Fuwei Escort Agency, whose business covers most provinces across the country, he will inevitably come into contact with people in the martial arts world in the future. Lin Zhennan has been carefully cultivating his martial arts skills since he was a child.

Whether or not he can beat others is another matter, but he has laid a very good foundation.

For example, in terms of internal strength, he practiced the family's "Zhengyang Gong". Lin Zhennan once told Lin Pingzhi that their family's internal strength was quite profound and was top-notch even in the martial arts world.

In Li Mu's view, it was only slightly better than the common martial arts techniques found in the martial arts world. It was a stable and orthodox internal martial arts method, with a slower progression and a relatively low ceiling. However, it had a solid foundation, allowing for steady and methodical progress, so there was no need to worry about qi deviation or an unstable foundation.

Under Lin Zhennan's tutelage, Lin Pingzhi began practicing Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation) at the age of five to build a foundation, and started learning breathing techniques at the age of seven. Unfortunately, his mind was not settled, and he practiced for three years, cultivating his Qi for three years.

It wasn't until he was ten years old that he cultivated his internal strength and entered the first level of the Zhengyang Gong.

The Zhengyang Gong internal energy cultivation method has five levels in total. Lin Zhennan is currently 35 years old and has reached the third level of Zhengyang Gong.

It cannot be said that Lin Zhennan's aptitude was too poor. According to memory, Lin Zhennan cultivated to the third level of Zhengyang Gong in seven or eight years. He was not comparable to those major sects, but he was considered to be at a normal level in the martial arts world.

However, the transition from the third to the fourth level was a significant hurdle, and since Lin Zhennan had taken over the Fuwei Escort Agency and was focused on expansion and strengthening it, he had no time to concentrate on practicing his skills.

In martial arts training, one either progresses or regresses. Given Lin Zhennan's current state, breaking through to the fourth level remains a distant prospect.

Li Mu estimated that seven years later, when the game begins, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lin Zhennan would still be at the third level of the Zhengyang Gong. After all, he was getting older, his potential was diminishing, and with the affairs of the escort agency being numerous and complicated, he couldn't concentrate on cultivation, making it difficult for his martial arts to make significant progress.

This also reflects the reality for most people in the martial arts world, apart from the major sects. After all, without a master to guide them, without fellow disciples to discuss with, and without any secret manuals or powerful techniques, if they haven't made any significant progress by their thirties or forties, their lives are pretty much over.

Besides the Zhengyang Gong internal skill, the Lin family also has three other martial arts passed down in the family, one of which is naturally the famous Bixie Sword Technique, which goes without saying.
