Chapter 235: Not an Opponent
Lu Yiming's act of revealing the truth undoubtedly shattered the beautiful dreams of the three girls.
The bloody reality was laid bare before them.
Lin Yuzhen was so angry that she raised her fist and hit him hard a few times, pouting and saying, "It's all your fault. I used to think of Guan Meiren as my idol. Give me back my youth."
Lu Yiming immediately rubbed his arm and cried out: "What does it have to do with me? I wasn't the one playing with her..."
Lin Yuzhen still pouted and snorted, "No matter, you men become bad when you have money, and you don't look like a good person."
"Hey, hey, please don't just pretend that I'm innocent. I'm obviously a good person."
Lu Yiming felt that he was really wronged. He had good intentions in explaining the filthiness of the entertainment industry, but ended up being hurt for no reason and became a bad man who became corrupt when he had money.
After Lin Yuzhen vented her anger, she said dejectedly, "What should I do? I was looking forward to tomorrow's trip, but now I'm completely unexcited."
Lu Jiajia also felt it was a pity and asked timidly, "Are we still going to visit the crew tomorrow?"
Although Wu Qiuya was somewhat shocked by what Lu Yiming said about the golf ball incident, she did not lose her composure like other people.
Her attention was completely focused on a ball worth 10 million.
Ten million for each one.
Twenty million for two.
What about the other three?
What about four?
You know, most people will never earn 10 million in their lifetime.
In the entertainment industry, just stuffing a ball can earn you 10 million.
Although Wu Qiuya was still very interested in the entertainment industry, she knew that if she insisted on going now, it would definitely leave a bad impression on other people, so she wisely threw the question to Lu Yiming.
"Lu Yiming, what do you think? Should we still go for the tour tomorrow?"
Lu Yiming chose to tell a few girls about the dirtiest side of the entertainment industry in order to break their fantasies. Now it seems that his goal has been achieved, but Lu Yiming himself is still very interested in movies, so he said: "Go ahead, there is nothing else to do anyway. I just told you about the problems in the entertainment industry so that you can be mentally prepared."
Lu Yiming stayed away from the entertainment industry.
But Lu Yiming doesn't want to miss the investment in the film industry.
The future is both an information age and an entertainment-to-death age. Entertainment industries such as film and television dramas are destined to flourish, simply because with the great abundance of material, people's spiritual needs will also become vigorous.
Therefore, the entertainment industry has great potential in the future.
Lu Yiming has now become the leader of the team. Since he insisted on going for the visit tomorrow, although Lin Yuzhen still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she did not strongly object.
No words were spoken that night.
The next morning, everyone had breakfast in the buffet restaurant as usual.
After breakfast, Li Zhengkai drove Meng Xiujie's four-seater sports car to Huangren College.
Although it was a bit crowded with one more person, at least everyone didn't have to pay for the taxi, so they were still able to accept it.
In the afternoon, Xiao Hanlin came to see Wu Qiuya again.
Although Lu Yiming's refusal to cooperate and his attitude of lying down yesterday prevented Xiao Hanlin from successfully subduing Lu Yiming, Xiao Hanlin felt that he had already threatened Lu Yiming, and Lu Yiming should not be so blind as to jump out and cause trouble.
"Student Wu Qiuya, let's go for a walk together after school this afternoon. I'll take you to eat our special snacks from Xiangjiang."
Wu Qiuya politely chose to refuse: "Ah, classmate Xiao Hanlin, I'm sorry, but this afternoon, King Liu invited us to visit the set of his movie, and we have already made an appointment."
Regardless of whether there was an invitation from King Liu, after learning about Lu Yiming's true strength, Wu Qiuya completely looked down on Xiao Hanlin, who relied on the good deeds of his ancestors to achieve wealth and honor. In comparison, Lu Yiming, who started his own business and built his own empire, obviously had more potential and a better future.
"Liu Tianwang? Inviting you?" Xiao Hanlin laughed when he heard it: "Did I hear it right? The Liu Tianwang you are talking about, is it the Liu Tianwang who is one of the Four Heavenly Kings?"
Obviously, he didn't believe it. He felt that Wu Qiuya was just looking for a reason to refuse, and this reason was so lame that you could tell it was fake as soon as you heard it, and there was no need to expose it.
However, Xiao Hanlin did not directly say anything excessive to mock Wu Qiuya. After all, he still wanted to seduce Wu Qiuya.
Several classmates around him also laughed maliciously.
"Do you know how great King Liu is? Why do I invite you to visit the set?"
"You're just daydreaming. Even if it's Xiao Hanlin, he has to make an appointment to meet with King Liu. King Liu invites you to visit him? Who are you kidding?"
"If you want to reject Master Xiao, just say so directly. There's no need to find such a weird reason."
Wu Qiuya curled her lips, secretly unhappy with the sarcasm of the people around her, but she didn't show it. She just retorted calmly: "Why would I lie to you? Look, King Liu took a photo with me yesterday, and there was even his autograph and blessing on the photo."
After watching the group photo, there was a silence. After a while, someone couldn't help asking, "Then tell me, what movie did King Liu invite you to visit?"
Wu Qiuya thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called something like 'God of Gamblers 1999'."
When the students in the class heard this, they were immediately shocked.
"God of Gamblers 1999? Oh my god, what you said can't be true?"
"Did King Liu really invite you to visit the set?"
"How do you know King Liu? Aren't you from the mainland?"
"Could it be that you are a relative of King Liu in his hometown in the mainland?"
King Liu’s ancestral home is Xinhui County, Guangdong Province, and Wu Qiuya and the others also came from Guangdong Province, so some people would have such an association.
Although King Liu is a complete novice when it comes to investment, his acting career is relatively smooth. He is very famous in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, and many young people are his fans. The students in the class are no exception.
According to later generations, the current King Liu is undoubtedly the top star in the entertainment industry!
Even though the students at Huangren College all come from good backgrounds, not everyone has the opportunity to chat and laugh with King Liu.
Therefore, I was so shocked when I learned that King Liu actually invited Wu Qiuya to visit the set.
After all, even they didn't have the chance to meet King Liu. How could people from such a poor and backward place in the mainland get an invitation from King Liu?
This shouldn't happen.
Facing everyone's speculation, Wu Qiuya did not flatter herself, but told the truth: "Of course it's not that I have any relationship with King Liu, but because King Liu is very familiar with Lu Yiming. Yesterday afternoon, the two of them were still drinking happily in the restaurant. It was at that time that he invited us to visit the set. "
"Lu Yiming?"
"Drinking and chatting with King Liu?"
“Are they relatives?”
"There's no reason for this, right?"
This piece of news was really hard to believe. Everyone was confused and wanted to find Lu Yiming to verify it. However, after looking around, they found that Lu Yiming seemed to have left after class and there was no sign of him in the classroom at all.
"Hey, this guy can run so fast."
"I'm also a fan of King Liu, and I want Lu Yiming to say hello to him for me. I'm also going to visit him on set."
Even Zhao Guoxiang couldn't help but say, "When he comes to school tomorrow, I want to have a good chat with him. I also want to have a good chat with King Liu."
Xiao Hanlin listened to his brothers talking about this and immediately became angry and his face turned blue. He growled in dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with you guys? Do you want to curry favor with that mainlander too?"
When Xiao Hanlin spoke, he stared at Zhao Guoxiang, his number one lackey, and scared Shen Junjie so much that he quickly said, "How is that possible? Young Master Xiao's enemies are my enemies. I have an irreconcilable relationship with that guy named Lu."
This answer made Xiao Hanlin's expression ease a little, and then he put on a disdainful expression and said, "What's the big deal about knowing King Liu? Aren't they just a few actors in the entertainment industry? I know all these people in Hong Kong. Whoever you want to see, I'll take you there later."
He thought to himself that he had to plan a careful action to win over his brothers, or at least gain some ground from Lu Yiming.
Wu Qiuya found that Lu Yiming and the others were no longer in the classroom, and hurriedly took her small backpack and said, "Ah, are they all gone? I have to leave quickly, or they will have to wait for me to go visit King Liu's class together."
Xiao Hanlin took the key to his red Mercedes-Benz sports car and said, "It's the same if I give it to you as a gift."
"No need to trouble you."
When several people went downstairs, Xiao Hanlin found that Lu Yiming and the others were standing and chatting by the flower bed downstairs, so he provocatively pressed the unlock button on the car key. The red Mercedes-Benz convertible sports car parked two meters away made a beeping sound, and the headlights lit up, looking very cool.
He pretended to know nothing and asked, "Hey, are you all here? Where are you going? Do you want me to drive you in my Mercedes?"
Lu Yiming glanced over here and said calmly: "No need, my car is almost here."
Xiao Hanlin mocked, "Aren't you from the mainland? Where did you get a car in Hong Kong? Did you rent it from a car dealership?"
Having lived two lives, Lu Yiming had seen many people like Xiao Hanlin who loved to show off. He glanced at him and said casually, "I rarely come to Hong Kong, but the company has a car."
Xiao Hanlin had a joking expression on his face: "Oh, you have a company in Hong Kong? Do you sell sweet soup or braised eggs?"
Just then, an extended version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Thor, with its headlights on, slowly drove towards this side.
"Damn it, a Rolls-Royce!"
"Who is this business tycoon?"
"Isn't this car so cool? I want it!"
Although Xiao Hanlin's red Mercedes convertible is indeed very cool, it is nothing compared to the Rolls-Royce.
In terms of brand quality alone, they are not on the same level.
Mercedes-Benz is the light luxury car among luxury cars. Any nouveau riche with a little money can own one if he grits his teeth.
But the Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is different. It is the top luxury car. Unless you are a real billionaire, you can’t drive it.
Even Xiao Hanlin, who came from a wealthy family in Hong Kong, couldn't take his eyes off this Rolls-Royce at this moment.
This car is not even in his family!
Of course, it’s not that he can’t afford it, it’s just that driving this car is too high-profile and he can’t suppress its aura.
What's more, there are many rich people in Hong Kong. Many old-school businessmen have experienced the war years and know that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Therefore, they prefer not to show off their wealth and are more low-key than each other. For example, Xiao Hanlin's father is still driving a broken Crown.
Anyone who is ostentatious enough to drive a Rolls-Royce Silverthorn through the city is a tough guy!
The Rolls-Royce Silver Thor stopped in front of Lu Yiming. Meng Xiujie got out of the car and said to Lu Yiming respectfully, "Mr. Lu."
Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said to Lin Yuzhen and others, "Get in the car."
Li Zhengkai was about to get in the car when Lu Yiming smiled and said, "There's no seat for you in this car. Go drive your cousin's shabby convertible."
Li Zhengkai curled his lips and said with a wronged look: "Okay."
Broken convertible?
Isn't this obviously said to Xiao Hanlin?
However, compared with Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz is really just a broken car.
Lu Yiming got into a Rolls-Royce.
This scene once again made everyone's jaw drop.
"What the hell? Is this Rolls-Royce Lu Yiming's?"
"Something's wrong. It's very wrong! Who on earth is Lu Yiming?"
"This is a Rolls-Royce Silver Spur!"
The Four Seasons Hotel has a fleet of Rolls-Royces, but those Rolls-Royces are Silver Angels, not this model, so it can be ruled out that Lu Yiming rented a car to show off.
Could it be that Lu Yiming is really a wealthy young man from Hong Kong?
The wealthy families in Hong Kong are so low-key that not only ordinary people but even many wealthy people don’t know how much assets each other has.
When Lu Yiming said he had a company in Hong Kong, everyone thought he was joking. But now it seems that it is very likely to be true!
This is outrageous.
At this moment, everyone had deep doubts about Lu Yiming's identity as a "mainlander".
Lu Yiming got in the car and didn't even bother to look at Xiao Hanlin. After all, a kid like Xiao Hanlin could never be his opponent. Looking at him any longer would just be a waste of time.
"Let's go and see where King Liu and the others are filming."
After saying that, he casually opened the small refrigerator in the middle of the seat and took out a bottle of happy water. Then he asked, "If you are thirsty, there are drinks here. What do you like to drink?"
After several girls got on the bus, the high-end leather seats alone made them feel so soft that they couldn't sit still. And now there's a refrigerator in the bus?
Lin Yuzhen and Wu Qiuya, who were afraid of getting fat, only ordered a bottle of mineral water. However, Lu Jiajia, who had no pressure to manage her figure, was addicted to the happy water just like Lu Yiming.
Wu Qiuya's bright eyes could not help but look around the carriage. The luxurious decoration made her long, white and tender legs clamp tighter and tighter. Then her fiery gaze fell on Lu Yiming. If Lin Yuzhen and Lu Jiajia were not here, she would have wanted to pounce on him and "eat" him.
This kind of life is what she has always longed for and yearned for.
“Isn’t this car cheap?”
Wu Qiuya held the cold bottle of mineral water in her palm, but her heart was burning with heat.
Lu Yiming, who had just finished a sip of iced happy water, exhaled, shrugged and said casually: "I don't know exactly how much it is worth. This car was given to me as collateral by an unlucky foreigner who went bankrupt."
In the battle to defend Hong Kong, there were too many international hot money betting against Lu Yiming. Even powerful people like Soros could only suffer minor injuries at most.
But there are also some people who lost everything and had to "sell themselves" to pay off their debts.
This is how it works in finance. If you do well, you will soar to the sky. If you fail, you will stay where you are.
Although real industry makes money slowly, it is down to earth and relatively stable, and it is rare for people to lose all their money in one go.
