Huayu: Live a carefree life

Although Liu Haocun looks frail and is indeed very flexible, he has an exceptionally strong personality.

As she said, she was a bit stubborn, so she accepted all the "gifts" Lu Jie gave her without hesitation.

In her words, she could give up her own money, but Lu Jie couldn't refuse to give it to her. Since he promised there would be no difference in treatment, she had to have everything Hu Lianxin had.

Lu Jie also thought what she said made sense, so after dinner he called the property manager to enter Liu Haocun into the homeowner information.

After achieving great success in both of his entrepreneurial ventures, Lu Jie successively invested in many technology companies that were expected to make significant progress in the next decade. Compared to the return on investment in the entertainment industry, the return on investment in technology companies was much slower.

Moreover, his strategy is comprehensive. In the new energy vehicle sector, Lu Jie took the initiative to get involved when Leapmotor was short of funds, investing 120 million yuan in cash and helping to bring in technical resources from Tsinghua University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology to optimize vehicle design.

The robotics industry has made a heavy bet, because the opportunity to enter two future robotics companies at low cost is only available once in the memory data. So even when Unitree Technology was looking for angel investors, Lingmeng Travel had just started to make money, Lu Jie chose to invest without hesitation, using 1000 million yuan in cash plus his computer technology in exchange for 20% of the original equity.

When another company, Yun Shen Technology, needed investment, Lu Jie had already cashed out and left Lingmeng Travel. Naturally, he was even less lenient, directly offering 25 million yuan in cash plus technology investment in exchange for 2500% of the original equity. This was the maximum share that Professor Zhu could accept.

Therefore, the period from the summer of 16 to the beginning of 18 was also the busiest time for Lu Jie. In addition to his own agile cycling, he also had to take time to meet and coordinate with the two robot R&D teams, and occasionally listen to reports from the Leapmotor team.

Lu Jie sometimes thinks that if he had met Hu Lianxin now during this period, he wouldn't have had any feelings for her at all. After all, back then he was really focused on his work, and women would only hinder his progress.

However, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Jie to return to that busy and fulfilling life now. Although he did not become a couch potato like his early partners, he could no longer accept the double high intensity of mental and physical work.

As the old saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

This is probably why many artists and some scientists experience a decline in output and a stagnation in technical skills and imagination once they become wealthy and famous.

…………

Lu Jie stayed with Liu Haocun for a day and a night, and as promised, he did not contact other women. In fact, he did reply to messages from other women, but no one noticed...

Lu the scumbag (cold face): I promised not to lie to girls, but that only applies to matters of principle. Maintaining relationships requires "white lies," and these little things don't count as lying!

After all, it's fine if he doesn't reply to Chen Yao and Wang Churan's messages, those two girls won't keep bothering him. But if he doesn't reply to Xiao Hu's messages for a long time, that girl will definitely get angry.

So being a "scumbag" isn't something just anyone can do well; after all, it's a job that requires both a lot of mental and physical labor.

On their second night together, Liu Haocun, having completely opened up, fully utilized her advantages as a dance student to maximize Lu Jie's emotional impact, though both of them were exhausted.

On Wednesday morning, I drove Liu Haocun back to the Beijing Dance Academy. We didn't spend much time together in the car. Mainly because after the Meng Ziyi scandal, Lu Jie has become much more self-disciplined. A kiss wouldn't make a difference, so we could just kiss at home before going out.

Lu Jie is driving a supercar today, a Lexus LFA, of which only 500 exist worldwide. To bring this dream car back to China, he spent nearly 1300 million yuan, more than double the price of the original car.

It's the car that the Korean guy drives while kissing Wonder Woman at the end of Fast & Furious 5.

Lu Jie had been captivated by this car from the first sight, so once he had the means to fulfill his dream, he didn't hesitate to spend money and purchased it from a car collector through multiple channels.

Liu Haocun was also the first girlfriend to ride in this car, and she was overjoyed because she finally had something in common with Hu Lianxin!

…………

After seeing Liu Haocun off, Lu Jie went straight to the company.

Lin Zixian acted quickly, buying out the script for "Someday or One Day" in just two days and also securing the services of two Taiwanese screenwriters.

The main reason is that Lu Jie was willing to offer so much. Given Taiwan's stagnant economic situation, the two screenwriters had no reason not to agree. After all, if the show isn't filmed, all the hype is just empty talk.

The next step is to refine the script for the vertical-screen drama version of "Someday or One Day," and then launch auditions for the actors and recruit a production team.

Regarding the production team, Lin Zixian and Lu Jie had the same idea: they must cultivate their own company's production team, and vertical screen drama production was a good entry point.

Therefore, Lu Jie delegated authority to Lin Zixian, allowing him to recruit one or two teams of complete newcomers directly from art school graduates. After all, vertical screen dramas are a novel thing, and the investment is small, so it's not a loss to let newcomers practice.

Vertical screen dramas are also part of Lu Jie's preparations for taking office at Weishi. It's only a few days before the official announcement of his appointment in Shenzhen.

As for actors in vertical-screen dramas, there's really no choice; they either have to be ordinary internet celebrities or complete newcomers. In comparison, Lu Jie thinks it's better to find newcomers from art schools, at least their majors are relevant.

Lin Zixian has already arranged for people to post recruitment information at the three major art colleges in Beijing today, but he doesn't really know how many people will be willing to apply.

Lu Jie ate lunch in his office, took a nap, and then drove his LFA to the Capital International Airport to pick up Chen Yao, who was returning from the steel city.

However, she won't be staying in Beijing for more than a few days. Hu Lianxin is the same; she will be joining the "Spirit Sword Mountain" crew on the evening of the 30th, starting script readings on National Day, and filming will officially begin on October 5th.

So Lu Jie will spend the next two days with Chen Yao, the following two days with Xiao Hu, and then take Xiao Hu to the airport on the 30th.

Since there was no way to cut herself in two, Chen Yao had no choice but to go to the airport by herself.

After picking up Chen Yao, Lu Jie didn't go back to the company. Instead, he took her for a drive to Taishitun, and then they had dinner at a farmhouse restaurant by Miyun Reservoir before returning home to the city.

Lu Jie originally planned to stay overnight in Miyun, but Chen Yao tempted him by saying that she had prepared all the tools for off-road exploration and wanted to give him her whole self before joining the team. How could he bear to refuse?

Chen Yao had mentioned several times that Lu Jie should go off-roading, but Lu Jie had no experience and was reluctant to put the gentle Chen Yao through the wringer, so he kept saying that he would wait until he had all the tools.

Now that Chen Yao had proactively bought all the tools and even watched the instructional videos in advance, Lu Jie was both moved and impressed. If he had met Chen Yao in his freshman year, Xiao Hu would probably have ended up in a different position from her...
