A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

"Dudu...feed? What's wrong?"

"Oh, so you're awake now?"

Hearing these sarcastic words, Li Mu sighed helplessly:

"What are you trying to do? Are you going to cause me trouble? I already informed you yesterday."

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare cause you any trouble. You're a top reporter, you stripped the former queen of the entertainment industry of her halo with just one article. Even my company treats you like an honored guest now, afraid you might cause trouble for us small actors. How could I dare to stroke a tiger's whiskers?"

That's certainly a flattering statement...

But the strange, sarcastic tone only intensified.

Li Mu was speechless and said:

"Tell me, how can you let me go?"

"Hmph...that depends on your performance. Tell me, how much did you drink last night? And whose bed did you sleep in?"

"The sleeping Kempinski."

Li Mu glanced at his messy bed and the filth on his pillow, and sighed helplessly:

"I have to pay for cleaning again."

"...You threw up on the bed again?"

"Um."\

"Ugh, I'm speechless... If you drink too much again, I definitely won't let you sleep with me. And didn't I tell you not to drink so much? Who were you drinking with last night?"

"You won't believe it, but I drank with people from the Oriental Pearl Tower."

"...Are you referring to the tower in Shanghai, or the publisher of 'Young Justice Bao 2'?"

"Nonsense, it's definitely the publisher. Why would I drink with Ta for no reason?"

Li Mu checked his belongings again to make sure nothing was missing, then took out his card and left.

"Yesterday was supposed to be a casual get-together, and I didn't really want to go. But Brother Bie called and asked me to come over, so I had to accept. Then, at the dinner table, Xu Ting, their PR vice president, received a call from Kyushu Asia, the distributor of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.' I don't know exactly what Xu Ting's relationship with them is, but as soon as they heard they were treating me and Fatty Sui to dinner, they said they'd arrange a second round..."

"Is it Heaven on Earth again?"

"Um."\

Li Mu responded and stepped into the elevator. However, when he checked his clothes through the mirrored wall, he suddenly noticed a red mark on his shirt collar.

He looked down... and it was clearly a lipstick mark.

Damn it... who's so rude!

A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, followed by a guilty conscience as he quickly wiped it off... but wiping only made the mark worse.

Well, this shirt is probably ruined.

"How many times have you been there this month?"

"Not this month, but the last two weeks... Let me count, Huayi Brothers twice, Huang Feng called out once, and then..."

"Zhang Hua, the beautiful lady, went to Yanjing and also visited you once."

"Yeah, and that company Zhang Guoli and his wife just started, their vice president... what's his name again? Oh right, Zhang Chunmin, I also asked him to go once. Adding to last night... that's six times now."

"Hahaha, the girls there must think you're some kind of pervert, going there every day, hahaha..."

"You're still laughing?"

Li Mu was speechless.

"Why can't I laugh? You men just have so many social engagements."

"You're saying just as little as you do."

"Hmph, I just have less, so what? You want more from me?"

"No way. If you increase any more, I'll really explode."

"Hehe...I have two good news for you!"

"What?"

"Firstly, when I called you yesterday, I knew you were drunk from the noise you were making, so I didn't tell you. My dad passed away today… The accounting firm I hired has already gone through all my accounts and coordinated with all the money launderers. I have one overdue tax payment, but it's not serious. I only need to pay a little over three thousand. The accounting firm will go to pay it today… Luckily, I checked this money, otherwise I might have ended up like Liu Xiaoqing."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu asked in a low voice:

"Are you sure? You checked everything?"

"Well, ever since I left Aunt Qiong Yao's company, all my gigs, TV appearances, and film and television projects have been investigated. They acted quite quickly, and I'm considering whether to continue working with them. They are very professional... their fees are a bit high, but I think it's normal. But... it will be difficult to explain to the company. Because the company can't let them continue to be involved. I have to thank Liu Xiaoqing for opening this door this time. Do you have any thoughts?"

"Simple, let's maintain our cooperation. From now on, I won't participate in these kinds of gigs, okay?"

"Hehe, if I don't participate, will you support me?"

"Yes, I'll support you. I'll support you with NetEase stock."

"Hehehehe..."

Hearing her boyfriend bring this up, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

For the first half of the year, she used all her income, as instructed by her boyfriend, to buy NetEase stock.

Although the price ranged from a few cents to several dollars... similarly, NetEase's stock price has now reached $11.5.

She currently holds nearly 370,000 shares of NetEase stock.

In other words, if she wanted to sell, these 370,000 shares could be converted into at least four million US dollars at any time.

In just a few short months, she earned more than she had in the previous few years combined.

Her happiest moment each day is receiving emails from securities firms in Hong Kong, which clearly show the percentage increase in the NetEase stock she bought.

It's fair to say that every breath she takes now is a huge source of income!

And all of this is thanks to her boyfriend, how could she not be happy?

"Then I'll listen to you. What a pity, I was saying I'd wait until my fame surpasses Zhao Wei and Ruby Lin before..."

Stop.

"It's pointless. Performing gigs is hard-earned money. I don't want you to work so hard... For your finances in the future, be prepared with two backup plans: the company's contracts, and your own contracts... you can give them to them."

As Li Mu spoke, he handed the room key to the front desk.

"Mr. Li, are you checking out?"

The receptionist clearly recognized him, greeting him with a sweet smile.

Li Mu nodded politely, then took out his wallet and pulled out five hundred yuan.

"Washing the sheets and duvet cover... Sorry, I threw up again."

"No need, Mr. Li, I'll call the cleaning staff up right away. You did drink quite a bit when you came last night; you vomited once when our staff took you to your room."

"I'm so sorry."

"It's alright, Mr. Li. This is my business card. You can contact me directly next time. We were a bit slow in getting your wheelchair when you arrived yesterday, and you were exposed to the wind for a while. We're really sorry. Next time you have a social engagement, please contact me in advance, and I'll make everything ready for you."

Seeing the receptionist's attentive smile, Li Mu nodded and accepted the business card.

"Okay, thanks."

"You're welcome, Mr. Li. Thank you for staying at the Kempinski."

On the other end of the phone, Fan Bingbing, who had overheard their conversation fairly clearly, laughed:

"Is it that same pretty girl from last time? She finally dared to hand you her business card this time?"

"Um."\

Li Mu responded, glanced at the name on the business card, and then casually put it in his bag.

"What was the second piece of good news you mentioned?"

"I can go back for May Day!"

"Um?!"\

Li Mu's eyes lit up instantly:

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! Hehe, the plane tickets are all booked, I'll arrive the day after tomorrow morning! Filming's almost finished, it'll be over in the next couple of days."

Ring ring...

A telephone rang.

As Li Mu reached into his bag for his phone, he asked:

"How many days can you stay this time?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it'll be about two weeks... I miss you so much. Hehe, I'll spend two weeks with you, and then I'll go to Guangzhou."

"The film set in that snowy area?"

"Yes, the one Sister Ding introduced."

"Um, wait a minute, I need to take this call."

Looking at the name "Caller: Liu Baoteng - Kyushu Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation" displayed on his work phone, a vague image of a middle-aged man appeared in his mind.

I saw this person last night.

But he had absolutely no recollection of what they talked about or what they said.

"Hey, Manager Liu, haha, sober now?"

Although I don't remember this person, it's written in the phone book: Kyushu Asia-Pacific, and the "经" (jing) in that name means manager.

"Haha, how's Li Ji? Did you sleep well last night?"

"Ugh...don't even mention it. Who delivered the Kempinski to me last night? I have absolutely no recollection of it."

"It's General Manager Xu and his team."

"To be honest, I have absolutely no recollection of it. What time did we finish playing yesterday?"

"A little after one o'clock. Haha, it's normal not to remember, Li Ji fell asleep for the second half. We couldn't wake him up no matter how much we called him~"

"That's extremely rude! I'm so sorry, Manager Liu, I misbehaved."

"Oh, that's too kind, Mr. Li. Oh right, I've already booked the venue. See you this afternoon."

"……ah?"\

Li Mu was stunned.

site?\

What venue?

"What venue?"

"The tennis court, Li Ji... you don't even remember this?"

"..."\

While Li Mu was still somewhat dazed, Liu Baoteng said:

"Yesterday, Li Ji said he couldn't stand drinking like this every day and needed to exercise. We started talking about what Li Ji usually likes to do, and you said you like playing tennis. Well, I booked a court today. Both indoor and outdoor courts, and I've already found a sparring partner. Li Ji, let's play some tennis this afternoon."

"Well……"\

Does Li Mu remember?

He doesn't remember a thing.

He only remembered that the girls last night had very white breasts and legs... but after drinking a glass of XO, he blacked out.

How could I possibly remember such a thing?

But... those words sound like something I would say myself.

Since he started working on Liu Xiaoqing's matter, he hasn't exercised at all, and he feels like his body has rusted.

Now that Liu Baoteng had brought it up, he suddenly became agitated.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:

"Alright, although I don't remember that, I do remember Manager Liu saying you play tennis very well. We'll have to have a good match today."

"Haha, no problem. See you this afternoon?"

"OK."\

After hanging up, Li Mu picked up the phone again:

"I'm going to play basketball this afternoon... I inexplicably made a game with some people from Kyushu Asia last night."

"Sure, go ahead. Hehe, I want to play too... You go check out the venue this afternoon, if it's good, wait for me to get back, and we'll play together."

"Okay. Then come back soon."

"Hehe~"

The girl on the other side laughed, her face turning red.
