Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

Lu Yuan always thought of Li Erpeng as someone who appeared honest and simple, but was actually ambitious and cunning.

However, he has significant shortcomings in terms of knowledge and perspective.

Ultimately, it gives the impression of someone who is all talk and no action, and who is powerless to achieve their goals.

Therefore, Lu Yuan felt that their breakup was inevitable, as Wang Fei was progressive in her thinking and pursued romance.

Li Erpeng didn't love Wang Fei at all; it was just that Wang Fei was a better match for him.

Looking at Li Erpeng's ex-girlfriend, Zhou Gongzi, she certainly had a cool and aloof style.

However, they firmly opposed Li Erpeng's idea of ​​going into business.

After learning that Wang Fei was heartbroken, he quickly abandoned Zhou Gongzi and began to pursue Wang Fei relentlessly.

Given Wang Fei's somewhat love-struck personality, she probably wouldn't object to what he does.

What happened in later generations has also verified this fact.

Wang Fei not only did not object, but also took out her own savings to support Li Yapeng. The two of them pooled together 1000 million yuan, but ended up losing 4000 million yuan.

The two seem to share the same goal of fading out of the entertainment industry, but their views on the future are completely opposite.

In the end, the two could only officially announce the end of their relationship, and at that time, the disgust in Wang Fei's eyes was unmistakable.

Thinking about this, Lu Yuan felt a pang of regret.

To be honest, when Lu Yuan was young—meaning in his previous life—he never appreciated Wang Fei's looks. But as he grew older...

I'm really appreciating her beauty more and more these days.

Whenever I see her smiling gently, she is as lively and agile as a child, full of charm. When she is not smiling, she has a kind of cool beauty that comes from within, which is quite attractive and makes people want to find out more.

So if given the chance, Lu Yuan wouldn't mind stirring things up.

But now is not the time.

Meiqi stepped forward and introduced Lu Yuan

"This is Qu Xueer, a well-known director from Hong Kong."

"this..."

"I see these superstars on TV every day, and today I'm so lucky to actually see them in person, hahaha."

Lu Yuan spoke with the tone of a fan meeting their idol in person, but his behavior was neither humble nor arrogant, and he maintained a good balance of composure and restraint.

Her smile was confident and poised, without a trace of nervousness or anxiety.

This made everyone present look at Lu Yuan with newfound respect.

"This is Lu Yuan, Mr. Lu, a coal mining businessman from the inland."

Meiqi's introduction surprised everyone, especially the two new models behind Li Ming.

I initially thought this person was a newcomer like myself, a model, but I never expected that he would turn out to be a coal mine owner from mainland China.

Seriously, are there really coal mine owners this handsome and young?

For a moment, both of their attention was focused on Lu Yuan.

Of the other two men present, Jacky Cheung maintained his smile, but a hint of hostility was subtly revealed in the eyes of Li Ming, the King of Pop.

Especially after noticing the change in the gaze of their own artists behind them.

"Who is the stylist behind Mr. Lu's outfit?"

"May I share a little bit? I don't mean anything by it, but I just think Mr. Lu's outfit is absolutely perfect and really brings out his charisma."

"If that's possible, I'd also like to collaborate with one of my company's artists."

Lu Yuan clearly sensed the hostility, the disgust and displeasure emanating from a male creature whose territory had been invaded.

The implied meaning behind this statement is: I don't believe that a coal mine owner like you would be so knowledgeable about fashion and dressing; you must have hired a top-notch stylist.

Instantly, Lu Yuan's aura towards Heavenly King Li Ming changed.

"I just grabbed a few clothes and threw them together. If you like, you can take a look."

These words seem humble and innocuous, but they subtly imply that you can't even match what I can do casually, so you should learn from me.

Li Ming was met with a sharp but unpleasant rebuke, leaving him feeling like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

He was the one who offered the words of praise and agreement, but he was also the one who first provoked the hostility, so he had nothing to say when the words were retorted.

If you think others are good, then go ahead and learn from them; no one's stopping you.

The hostility in Li Ming's eyes did indeed intensify. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt like he had seen this kid somewhere before, and he had a feeling of irritation whenever he saw him.

There seemed to be a hint of jealousy in that feeling.

Qu Xue'er, however, glared at Meiqi with a puzzled expression.

Didn't they say they found a suitable male lead? How come they found a boss instead?! Do they even want to do this?!

Lu Yuan seemed to sense Qu Xue'er's confusion.

"I heard that Director Qu is having trouble finding male actors of suitable height."

"Yeah, the main problem is that the female lead is too tall, so it's hard to find guys who can act opposite her."

"I heard it from Meiqi, and that's why she contacted me. Do you think my appearance is alright?"

"Hmm, quite handsome, very satisfied. Mr. Lu, have you had any experience with music video shooting before?"

Lu Yuan shook his head. Having lived two lives, Lu Yuan had indeed been involved in the filming of the TV series before his rebirth, as he had invested in it, but that was behind the scenes.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

"I won't be in Hong Kong for long this time, and I have a lot to do. If the timing is right, I wouldn't mind giving it a try."

"A newcomer who's just debuted and begging for screen time, what gives him the audacity to ask Director Qu to accommodate your schedule?!"

Suddenly, a sharp and sarcastic woman's voice came from the side, and everyone was stunned, wondering what was going on.

A middle-aged woman wearing a light blue Chanel-style jacket and a white silk dress walked over.

A faint red wine stain remained on the white dress, and a man and a woman followed behind her.

It was the same unreasonable middle-aged woman we had encountered at the door earlier.

Lu Yuan cursed his bad luck, wondering why she was everywhere.

Just as she was about to make a sarcastic remark, Qu Xue'er spoke first.

"Mr. Wei, you may have misunderstood something. Mr. Lu is not..."

"It's nothing. A new model dressed to look her best is talking to Director Qu about time. Director Qu's production schedule is more valuable than your life plan."

Lu Yuan was completely amused; this guy really thought of himself as a new actor.

Even if you're not in the entertainment industry, it's still a bit too much to treat a newcomer with such harsh and insulting words.

"Who do you think you are? Don't you mind giving it a try? Do you know the people queuing up outside for Director Qu? Any one of them could step in anytime and would kneel down to thank you for the opportunity."

"What do you have? All you have is a mouth that doesn't know what's good for you."

Lu Yuan turned around, shook his head helplessly, and really didn't want to waste time with this old gossip.

The others were also confused. Who was this person? What kind of people did Sister Xue'er want to use, and what was her relationship with them? Was she an investor?

"Mr. Lu, please wait. There must be some misunderstanding here. Master Wei is not that kind of person."
