A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

Chapter 204 Terrifying Three Million

"Thirty thousand... Hey, Xiao Li... Uh... I'm almost done."

"..."

Li Mu rolled his eyes in the car.

I was thinking to myself, "Guess whether I believe it or not."

Then he sighed helplessly:

"Brother Bie, where are you? I'll come find you."

"I...I'm fine, I'm planning to go home now."

"Brother Bie, I just finished having dinner with Zhao Wei's sister-in-law, Chen Rong, and I need to talk to you about something."

"Oh?...Okay, I'm at the bathhouse. The one I brought you two to before, come on over."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mu glanced at the time.

8:40.

The meal started around 6 or 7 o'clock, and Li Mu voluntarily finished eating at 8:30.

I dare not delay for too long.

At that moment, the alcohol he hadn't drunk at the restaurant was still in the trunk of his Santana, and besides that, there was also a Rolex watch, but Li Mu refused to take it.

The original quote is:

"Manager Chen, our friendship is like that of gentlemen, pure and simple. I can't wear this watch, and besides... it's a bit too extravagant. I appreciate the sentiment, but I truly cannot accept it. I genuinely believe that with your help, Ms. Zhao Wei's career path over the past two years has been very positive and smooth. Her recognition is a testament to everyone's approval. I cannot claim all the credit. Therefore, accepting this watch would feel like an insult to Ms. Zhao's well-deserved achievement. I appreciate your sentiment..."

Despite all the persuasion, they confiscated it.

No matter what Chen Rong thought about it, he didn't mention it, and he felt quite at ease.

At least I wasn't beholden to someone who fed me or took something from me.

Moreover, he's different from Huang Feng... He genuinely didn't know about Huang Feng's 50,000 yuan.

It wasn't until the second day that they found out, and by then it was too late.

His plan was to deal with the other party again in the future, just like that night, including dinner, karaoke, and maybe even touching the girl's stockings, and then "return" the 50,000 yuan.

This money... is different from the interview bonus; it feels too stingy to hold.

The reason he went to find Bie Yan was because he had to keep an eye on Bie Ge and make sure he didn't stay out too late.

It's not that anything really happened.

So he fought his way to the bathhouse, knocked on the door, and soon saw three familiar faces besides Brother Bie.

Chen Lixin, Zhang Hua, Zhou Jian.

He greeted us with a smile:

"Brother Zhou, Brother Chen, Brother Zhang."

"Little Li's here. Haha, don't say anything, it's almost 10 o'clock. You can only play for another hour at most, so you'd better keep going."

After Zhou Jian finished speaking, Bie Yan cursed:

"Damn it, did you need to remind me?! Just play your cards, you idiot!"

It's obvious who won and who lost at this table.

After Li Mu sat down next to Bie Yan, he heard Zhang Hua, the player to his left, ask:

"By the way, Xiao Li, we were just talking about... that movie Bingbing's going to film in the snowy area, how's the progress? Have they finalized the distribution company yet?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu understood his meaning and said:

"She's on a plane to Hong Kong right now. When we went to talk today, it seemed like they were still finalizing the cast. Maybe... I should give her a call when she arrives?"

"I'll ask around. This project needs someone influential to act as a bridge. With Bingbing around, I don't need to look for other connections."

"it is good."

Upon hearing Li Mu's words, Bie Yan glanced at the time:

What time did Bingbing board the plane?

"They said it would take off at 8 o'clock."

"Hmm...we'll arrive around 11:30, right? Let's finish at midnight then..."

"..."

Li Mu's lips twitched.

Zhou Jian was amused:

"I don't care, just think it over. If you finish at 11 o'clock, I'll arrange to find a place to sing karaoke tomorrow. But if you finish at 12 o'clock, it's hard to say who will win or lose. When we go out to play tomorrow, let's hope no one has a toothache from bleeding."

Hearing this, Bie Yan was even happier:

"Haha, don't worry, I'm not going tomorrow at all. I can't drink anyway~"

"You can't drink it, but Xiao Li can."

"..."

Li Mu was truly speechless now.

What do you mean?

Do you want to make me black out?

……

Anyway, after a lively card game, around 11:30, Li Mu dialed his girlfriend's number.

After giving a few instructions, Zhang Hua picked up Li Mu's phone and got up.

Li Mu played two games for him, and Zhang Hua came back:

"Little Li, if we can secure the distribution rights for this film, I'll treat you to a huge feast."

"Ha, no need, as long as I can help Brother Zhang."

The group exchanged knowing smiles.

The game ended precisely at 12 o'clock.

Don't say you lost 13,000...

Li Mu was also impressed.

He saw it all clearly from the side; Brother Bie's problem wasn't technical at all, it was simply a matter of poor technique.

I finally got a card, but then I played a useless card, which resulted in someone else winning the game.

If luck isn't on your side, losing is inevitable.

"leave!"

The older brother cursed and swore before finally ending the game.

But he's not leaving tonight; he plans to sleep here instead.

So he offered to see Xiao Li off.

The three of them knew that the two had something to talk about, so they kept quiet until they got into the elevator, where Li Mu recounted what had happened that day.

Bie Yan nodded slightly:

"I see. Well, they apologized, didn't they? We'll run into each other again, so let's not hold it against them."

"I didn't really care at all. Besides... Brother Bie, you didn't go, but I was stunned when I did. Chen Rong was nine months pregnant and had trouble even standing up, yet she still poured me tea and apologized. I had nothing more to say."

"Haha, they've already gone through all the proper etiquette."

"Well... Brother Bie, she said she wanted to set me up with Director Zhou, but I didn't respond. She also mentioned during dinner that they've known each other for quite a few years..."

"What nonsense about 'many years'! Zhao Wei just became famous after 'My Fair Princess' aired. Entertainment Weekly was the first to arrange an interview. Later, Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law was named..."

"He Xiuqiong".

"Yes, He Xiuqiong. She commissioned a Taiwanese person who works with our group to turn the interview in 'Entertainment' into an interview in 'Weekly'. The perspective given at the time was that Zhao Wei wanted to be an actress who couldn't be defined. It was in line with 'Weekly's' style of reporting on young talents. That's when they met. Only two or three years ago..."

Don't just wave your hand dismissively:

"But this has nothing to do with us. She wants to set you up with Director Zhou, so let's give her face. But you also need to think it through... Zhou Long happens to be the director of the Arts and Sports Department now, and articles published by him are definitely more valuable than yours. So, this is probably just an excuse. She doesn't want to offend you, but knowing your boss is much better than knowing you. Understand?"

"I don't care at all, bro."

Li Muyi shrugged:

"So I didn't engage tonight, and I made it clear that even if there's a second round of 'Four Little Actresses,' it won't be a repeat selection; it will have to wait a few years. As for the rest... if Zhao Wei has any plans in the future, I'll ask her. If she's willing to let me interview her, I'll go. If not, then forget it. Putting aside everything else, it's impossible for Director Zhou to travel all the way to Hengdian to find her while she's filming, right? So this job might still fall to me."

"Hmm, it's good that you understand that... Okay, is there anything else?"

"Yes, Brother, can you take this wine back?"

Li Mu opened the trunk and took out the two 12-year-old Moutai bottles.

"I didn't drink today. Chen Rong said this is 90 Moutai. And this red wine..."

"Keep it for yourself, you have plenty at home."

Don't just wave your hand dismissively:

"It's getting late, you have to work tomorrow, you should go home early."

"OK."

After finishing his business, Li Mu went straight home.

He simply stuffed the four bottles of wine into the wine cabinet.

And you know what... the wine cabinet, which wasn't very big to begin with, looks like it's almost full.

……

"I'm awake! What did you and Brother Bie talk about last night?"

"We just talked about having dinner with Chen Rong. She knows our current head of the Arts and Sports Department, and we chatted casually. By the way, have you ever been featured in *Fashion* magazine?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"Zhao Wei's trip to New York this time was for a photoshoot for Fashion magazine."

"She's in a fashion show? On a cover? Or what?"

"Chen Rong didn't elaborate, and I didn't ask too much."

"Okay. I haven't been on their covers. It's mainly because their style has become very international in recent years. They hire celebrities who are popular in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, or who have a certain influence. Zhang Ziyi has even been on the cover. Besides, they are now an international magazine, covering Asia. Their models cover not only domestic models but also other Asian models. It's very crowded, and I can't get a spot."

"Aren't you also incredibly popular in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan?"

Are you being sarcastic or are you being sincere?

"you guess."

"I'll stab you to death!"

"hey-hey."

"Hmph! Just you wait, one day I'll be famous all over the world! We'll see!"

After teasing his girlfriend a few times, he got back to work in a good mood.

And soon, another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

It's Friday, and the end of the month is approaching.

February is drawing to a close.

March has arrived.

December 1st, Friday.

The "GG Management Regulations" issued in February have officially come into effect.

On the very first day of March, everyone in the Arts and Sports Department immediately felt the terrifying energy emanating from the new director, who was known as the "Little God of Wealth."

Three GGs.

These are the bottom of the front page, inside pages, and the last page.

Below the front page is a cosmetics guy.

The inside pages reveal it to be a health supplement.

But the most outrageous part is the last page.

The so-called last page is the last page of a newspaper.

The last page of the newspaper on March 1st featured a photograph that occupied an entire page in an exaggerated manner.

Zhao Wei was wearing a black dress that revealed her long, white legs, and a pair of pearl high heels.

Facing the camera, she struck a very attractive pose.

In the upper right corner of the photo are five words: 【Normanqi Apparel】

Below: [Global Ambassador: Zhao Wei]

At first, Li Mu and everyone in the Arts and Sports Department did not understand the meaning behind these three GG paintings.

But... in the afternoon, suddenly, two staff members brought in a banner and hung it on the wall near the entrance of the office.

Unfurl the banner and hang it up.

Everyone in the office saw the large gold lettering above:

"Warmest congratulations to our colleague Zhou Long for achieving a record-breaking sales volume of over three million yuan!"

The first day of implementation of the GG regulations.

A deal worth three million was signed.

Zhou Long, the Little God of Wealth, is terrifyingly powerful!
