Chapter 1: Unprofessional Deception
Editor: Larbre Studio
The year 2002, Hengdian, Summer.
Lu Yuan snuffed out his cigarette butt, looked at the script that he had written for five hours, and spit viciously from his mouth.
He was going to make a change!
Hengdian in June was always hot; the heat carried with it a little stuffiness.
He looked at the many beautifully-dressed long-legged girls of Hengdian, as well as the pretentious, stupid directors. As a time traveler, he made a very bold decision…
He was going to dupe the rich into investing in himself.
Conman?
So be it!
In this cruel world, who else would you cheat besides the naive and honest?
At least, Lu Yuan had been cheated off a lot of money.
Okay...
Lu Yuan had been an honest man five hours ago. Five hours later...
He decided to not be honest.
"Well, after putting on the suit, I've covered up the ugly side of me. Even the second-hand one doesn't look much worse." Lu Yuan looked at the mirror beside the road and made an expression that he thought exuded his charm, nodding with satisfaction.
You reap what you sow.
The $200 second-hand 'Newbark' suit could still do a thing.
He looked down at his hand, seeing his "director's certification". Afterward, he nodded gleefully.
The script was ready, the wardrobe was ready, and the deceptive sentences were ready...
He had everything ready, but the rich person...
…
Hengdian was noisy and bustling—full of tourists, as well as groups of wandering actors and directors.
This year, there was a movie, "Capital", in which $30 million had been invested. It was being filmed in Hengdian presently...
This was a film made by Shen Lianjie, the third generation of the new directors in China, and Liu Fangfei, one of the most popular actresses. It was an unbelievably big film.
While passing by the group, Lu Yuan lit up his last cigarette subconsciously. He was envious of Shen Lianjie, who was sitting on the high platform swearing and spitting at the stars.
People with money, beauty, and talent were always envied by Lu Yuan, a poor person.
"Pui, what ugly behavior..."
After spitting and cursing in an envious and hateful manner, Lu Yuan continued to walk towards the tourists' car park.
Deception can be considered as an art.
Especially the act of duping people into investing hundreds of thousands. It was the art of arts.
There were countless luxury cars in the car park.
Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Porsche, Benz...
After screening for a long time, Lu Yuan finally fixed his gaze on a pink Lamborghini.
The owner was a girl, wearing sunglasses.
Girls who had not mingled much in society were easy to cheat.
Fools who had lots of money.
Lu Yuan was a little stunned when she took off her sunglasses.
The girl was laughing.
Her white teeth showed, and she looked innocent. Wearing a pink floral skirt which fluttered with the wind, it made people feel intoxicated and mesmerized.
The air smelt of flowers.
She looked simple but noble. At the same time, she gave off the aura that she was a youthful girl.
A living angel?
How f*cking beautiful!
Lu Yuan, a poor and stupid boor, couldn't use words to describe the beauty of the girl. He could only think of these words.
After he finished dreaming, Lu Yuan snuffed out his cigarette butt, arranged his clothes, and walked towards the girl without saying anything.
The sunlight was a little harsh in June.
To be honest, Lu Yuan was a little nervous.
After all, he was a nerd and a virgin. For the first time, he seriously wanted to cheat people, so his palms were all sweaty.
The thin script in his hands began to turn a little moist due to the sweat.
However, he had to change. He had to stop being honest!
Come on!
Lu Yuan!
After this, you will be rich!
Lu Yuan kept cheering himself on in his mind. At the same time, he thought of at least a few hundred pickup methods that he had seen on TikTok before he time traveled. These methods emboldened Lu Yuan to have the self-belief that he was a saint of love.
He quickened his footsteps.
He felt that hope was not far away!
"Stop!"
"Eh?"
"This is my director's certificate, this is my script."
"Ah?"
A gust of wind blew Wang Jinxue's long skirt upwards. Wang Jinxue looked at the young man who suddenly appeared and was panting and blushing. She subconsciously accepted his director's certificate and script.
"Take a look at my... my script..."
Lu Yuan wanted to give himself a big, tight slap, then run!
He was nervous!
He had stuttered!
F*ck, this was different from the opening line he had thought of?
What happened to pickup methods, smooth words, and being courteous?
What was this?
However, things could not be reversed now.
Lu Yuan couldn't let his deception end in tragedy, could he?
In the end, he could only reveal a smile that he thought was kind and charming.
"Er..."
Wang Jinxue still didn't know the situation at the moment. However, at first sight, Lu Yuan didn't feel like a cheat.
At least, Wang Jinxue thought that there wouldn't exist in this world a cheat that was clumsy and silly.
"I'm sorry, I don't film movies and I'm not an actor," Wang Jinxue looked up at Lu Yuan with a polite smile.
"I'm not asking you to film a movie," Lu Yuan shook his head.
"Then, you are..."
"I have a good script. I'm a very good director and actor, and I'm also the boss of a faraway film company," Lu Yuan still felt tongue-tied.
He felt a bit awkward, but in the end, he firmly put his hands in his pocket and felt for something, intending to take the first step for himself!
"Pfft!"
Wang Jinxue suddenly laughed.
She found the man interesting.
Especially so, since the man was very sincere, but deliberately pretending to be bad with bad acting skills. This made her feel that he was interesting.
At least, he was not like the people that surrounded her.
The young man looked sincere; his eyes were clear, and his smile was reassuring.
"Here is my name card." Lu Yuan looked at Wang Jinxue's smile as he took out his name card, handing it to her.
"Lu Yuan?" Wang Jinxue took a look at the name card, as well as the company's name and telephone number on it.
"Well, yes, my name is Lu Yuan. I think we can..."
"We can work together?" Wang Jinxue continued to laugh. She laughed heartily, with an intention to mock.
"Ah?" Lu Yuan's serious expression turned into a blur one. After he regained his composure, he replied, "Miss, I think that… my script..."
"Your script has great potential, and you can win various awards by fighting with the big guns?" Wang Jinxue continued to interrupt.
"..."
Lu Yuan opened his mouth.
He felt as if his words had been spoken by Wang Jinxue.
In addition, Wang Jinxue had assumed control of this deception.
He felt totally different from what he had thought of.
Wang Jinxue looked at the speechless Lu Yuan, as her smile turned more radiant and beautiful.
She opened the script and saw it for the first time.
"Revered Director Lu Yuan, your writing is very imaginative... If I were you, I would spend $30 to print a script, which would look more professional. I would also tidy up the tie beside the suit," Wang Jinxue looked up at Lu Yuan.
Her voice carried a little mockery.
"..." Lu Yuan was speechless.
Suddenly, he didn't know what to say.
His words really had little substance.
He should have really...
Printed it?
F*ck!
I've learned something.
"You are unprofessional... and if you want to fool people, you need a better prop, like this script which has wrong words."
"Props? A script is not a prop!"
"Do you think a beauty like me is innocent? Naive? And thus, easy to cheat?"
"Cheat! You are insulting my personality! I like having an original artistic atmosphere. The value of some things can't be described by words. A good thing can only be given to the people who can appreciate it. If you don't appreciate it, don't say it's not good. Return the script to me... I'm off."
Lu Yuan felt that his deception had been exposed and that he had lost face. However, he was still very stubborn in maintaining a picture of decency.
He felt that this wealthy sheep was cleverer than he thought.
He realized that his deception was about to fail.
He was going to get his script back and look for his next target.
He was going to run away!
F*ck, you can't make these mistakes next time.
"Get in the car." After Wang Jinxue glanced at the script, her smiley expression suddenly turned serious. Then, she held the script in her arms, opened the door, sat in the driver's seat, and started her Lamborghini.
"Ah? Where to?"
"You want to talk about investment with me here? Get in the car. I'll treat you to a cup of coffee," Wang Jinxue put on her sunglasses.
"???"
Lu Yuan was stunned again.
Coffee?
Investment?
What did this mean?
Did I f*cking succeed?
Lu Yuan's inner self was in a mess, but he got into the car as he maintained what he considered a decent expression.
