The Scum Gong’s Redemption Manual (Quick Transmigration) 76

Chapter 76

Si Guiyan’s five fingers on the steering wheel suddenly tightened. He looked at Lu Ze’s smiling eyes, and his heart was suddenly a little angry and a little annoyed, and there was also an indescribable regret and disappointment of his expectations being dashed. His eyes narrowed slightly, and with his sharp features, he looked a little fierce and unapproachable.

But Lu Ze was completely unaware. He pulled over his own bag, and with a slight movement of his right hand, the car door was already open. He got out of the car, and the moment he opened the umbrella, his eyes also curved. “The dormitory is about to be locked. I’m leaving now, Brother Yan. See you on Saturday.”

As he spoke, he waved at Si Guiyan and turned to leave with a warm smile.

Si Guiyan didn’t expect him to really leave just like that. He sat in his seat, his mind in a whirl. After a moment, he raised his hand and covered his face, and let out a low laugh and curse, “Little bastard.”

The rain had eased a little, and it was misty under the streetlights in the dark night. The taillights of the luxury car flashed twice, and it turned around and drove back.

…

The dormitory was locked at eleven-thirty. Lu Ze just managed to squeeze in, which attracted a string of nagging from the dormitory supervisor.

After returning to the dormitory, his roommates were all there, gathered on their beds and playing games. One of them heard the noise and looked back, and said casually, “What are you doing, Lu Ze? You’re back so late?”

The original host was not close to them, so Lu Ze just replied casually, “I had something to do outside.”

The person didn’t ask any more questions. Hearing this, he just said, “Alright, then you should hurry up and take a shower. There won’t be any hot water later… hey, hey, hey, don’t kill me, damn it…”

The hot water in the dormitory was turned off at twelve. Lu Ze didn’t hesitate much and packed his clothes and went into the bathroom.

In the hazy hot water, the damp and cold air from the rain outside was washed away. Lu Ze closed his eyes and let the hot water hit his face, and began to sort out the memories of this world.

It was a very clichéd story of being kept.

The original host was just an ordinary student at a film academy, with an ordinary family background and no capital. The only outstanding thing about him was his face. And it was with that face that he had become a hit in his freshman year with a campus youth video, and was noticed by a film and television company, and signed an artist contract, and successfully entered the entertainment industry.

He had originally thought that this was the beginning of his star path, but he didn’t expect that this circle was far from as easy as he had thought. The company had a wide-net model, and there were many other good-looking young people like him. He was mixed in with them, and he was not very conspicuous. In addition, the company’s own ability was limited, and it was not a well-known company in the industry, so it couldn’t get any good resources. For the original host, they had only given him a cursory training for a period of time. In the first year, they had tentatively given him a few resources. Seeing that they were all like ripples in the water and didn’t cause any waves, the upper management became less and less interested in him. In the past two years, he hadn’t even had any film and television resources, and he mostly participated in some offline activities, and he didn’t even have the qualification to be on the screen.

The original host was ambitious. Seeing that the company was unreliable, he relied on his own ability to run around. In addition, since he was in a film academy, he was more sensitive to some audition news than outsiders, so he was often active at the audition sites of various large and small film crews. His acting skills were not bad, but he had no popularity and no background, so he was not liked by the investors. Except for some insignificant small roles, few film crews were willing to have him.

The original host did not mind. A small role was a small role. He had the looks and the acting skills, and with a little accumulation, he would eventually have his day. And it turned out that his persistence was not wrong. In one shooting, the little beggar he played was recognized by the director, who recommended him to another director to play the third male lead in a drama. The original host was overjoyed and happily prepared for the audition. After passing the preliminary and final auditions, the role was about to be in his hands, but he didn’t expect that after the company found out about this, he was forced to “get sick,” and the role was snatched by Yu Yao, who was under the same agent.

That Yu Yao had joined the company later than him, and his looks and acting skills were not as good as his. The only thing he was better than him was his family background.

The original host wanted to resist, but because he had no power and no influence, he could only watch as Yu Yao took his original position and joined the crew.

It was at this time that he knew that in this circle, without a background, you were nothing.

He was good-looking, and there were not a few people in and out of the company who had their eyes on him, but the original host had never had that kind of thought. It wasn’t until this time that he suddenly understood and no longer resisted, and took the initiative to connect with those people and entered the Yuanshang Yunjian Clubhouse. It just so happened that at this time, Qian Tong was looking for a suitable person for Si Guiyan, and the original host was also among them. He was chosen by Si Guiyan at a glance, and the two signed a contract and became a kept relationship.

Si Guiyan was not stingy. Knowing that he was an actor, he was also very generous with all kinds of resources. In addition, the original host was not bad in all aspects, and in less than five years, he was promoted to the position of film emperor.

If it were just like this, the two of them would be willing, and each would get what they needed, which would naturally be the best. But the original host actually didn’t like men at all. On the surface, he was obedient and sweet-tongued to Si Guiyan, but in fact, every intimacy made him feel disgusted.

He had endured it for five years. It wasn’t until five years later, when he was crowned film emperor and was pursued by fans, that he became a little arrogant and secretly had a girlfriend outside the circle, and he thought he was doing it without anyone knowing. But what was Si Guiyan’s identity? He was a famous big shot in the capital circle, and the entertainment industry was just one of the many industries under his name. If he had a problem, how could Si Guiyan not see it?

For Si Guiyan, if he wanted to end it, he would just end it. He was not short of the original host, and he would not pester him. But the original host had found someone else while their relationship was still ongoing, which was a blatant slap in his face.

Si Guiyan did not entangle with him, but calmly broke up, and then decisively cut off his resources and banned him from the entire network.

The original host had thought that since he had a position in the entertainment industry, he would no longer be easily controlled by capital. But he didn’t know that for Si Guiyan to crush him was like crushing an ant.

In the past few years, the original host had relied on the person behind him to use all kinds of tricks, and he had offended not a few people. Now that he had no backer, his former rivals also took the opportunity to kick him when he was down, and many of his dark histories were dug up, and his image was completely ruined.

In just a short month, the original host understood what it meant to fall from heaven to hell. He went to beg Si Guiyan, but he couldn’t even see him. There were countless people who had unfollowed him and were now criticizing him on Weibo, and he would receive all kinds of curses in his private messages every day. The endorsement cooperations that had been agreed upon also went away one after another. He seemed to have become a tumor in the entertainment industry, and wherever he went, he was met with the malicious gazes of others.

The original host had been high and mighty for a long time, and in the end, he couldn’t stand this gap. On a rainy night, he drove his car and crashed into Si Guiyan’s car, and they died together.

Lu Ze had transmigrated over to change this ending.

He turned off the shower, wrapped a bath towel around his waist, and walked out of the bathroom, drying his hair with a dry towel. He paused in front of the washbasin and looked in the mirror. The features of the person in the mirror were not outstanding, but when they were put together, they had a unique charm. His eyes were light and calm, and he could try any role, so his acting path was not limited by his looks.

Looking down, there were firm and solid six-pack abs. The original host had clearly paid great attention to his body management and had also exercised diligently, so his physical fitness was not bad.

Lu Ze was quite satisfied. At the very least, it was much better than the body in the last world at the beginning.

He sorted out his thoughts, thought about what he had to do tomorrow, and then climbed onto the upper bunk and closed his eyes in peace.

777 reminded him in a small voice in his mind, “Host, you don’t seem to have asked for the mission target’s contact information.”

Lu Ze opened his eyes and looked at the void for a moment, his voice laced with a smile. “There’s no hurry.”

It would be boring to be too proactive.

777 let out an “oh,” as if it half-understood.

…

The next morning, after getting up early, Lu Ze first went to the sports field for a run, then took a shower after coming back, packed his things, and took a taxi to the hospital.

It was a weekday, and the hospital had just opened, so there were not many people. Despite this, Lu Ze still had to go through a lot of trouble for two or three hours. By the time the examination was over, it was almost time for lunch.

Lu Ze was about to walk out with the bill when his phone suddenly rang. Lu Ze took it out and saw that it was the original host’s agent, Brother Sun.

He raised an eyebrow and hung up directly.

After a while, the phone rang again. Lu Ze leisurely waited for a while before he answered it just as it was about to be hung up.

“Lu Ze!” The man’s voice was obviously filled with anger. “You’ve gotten bold, you even dare to hang up on me?”

Lu Ze said nonchalantly, “Oh, I accidentally pressed the wrong button just now.”

Brother Sun took a deep breath, as if he were trying to suppress his anger, and softened his tone. “Lu Ze, I know you’re angry, but no matter what, you’re still an artist of the company. It’s not good to have a bad relationship with the higher-ups. Yu Yao has someone above him, and he’s different from you. No matter how angry you are, it’s already like this. What’s the use? I know you’ve been wronged. Alright, I have a script here. It’s also for the third male lead in a TV series. If you soften up and say a few nice words to the higher-ups, this script can be given to you as compensation from the company.”

Lu Ze smiled. “Are you talking about the third male lead in the idol drama that Yu Yao left behind?”

Brother Sun cleared his throat and said, “What are you talking about? It’s still a third male lead. Just think of it as Yu Yao exchanging with you. No one is at a loss, right?”

Lu Ze let out a light laugh. One was a well-known director’s crew, and the other was a small online drama with a budget of less than ten million. Not at a loss?

He said, “Yes, I understand. Brother Sun has always been thinking of me.”

Only then was Brother Sun a little satisfied. “Hey, it would be good if you were always so sensible. Where are you now? Take a taxi over and have a look at the script, so we can settle this matter as soon as possible.”

“I can’t,” Lu Ze said slowly. “I have appendicitis, and I’m lying in the hospital now.”

He was wandering on the street slowly, his voice a little bitter. “I know that Brother Sun has always been good to me. If it weren’t for Brother Sun, I wouldn’t have been able to enter this circle in the first place… Alright, I’m still a little short of money for the surgery. Can you lend me some money, Brother Sun? It’s not much, just ten thousand.”

Before the other side could answer, Lu Ze added, “Don’t worry, Brother Sun. After my surgery, I’ll go back and sign the contract and join the crew. As soon as the payment for the third male lead arrives, I’ll pay you back immediately.”

“You… you, this… this…” The other side was instantly speechless.

Lu Ze asked again, “The payment for the third male lead, it’s at least ten thousand, right, Brother Sun?”

Brother Sun didn’t know if he was guilty or what, but he said with a stiff neck, “Of course… but… but I’m a little tight on money right now. I really can’t come up with ten thousand. You can go and borrow from someone else. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”

Before he hung up, he even heard him say, “If you can’t seize such a good opportunity, don’t blame the company for being unkind!”

Lu Ze sneered and casually put his phone in his pocket. Just as he was about to continue walking, a black luxury car slowly drove up to him and stopped. The face that was revealed in the rolled-down car window was extremely familiar. His gaze slowly fell on his abdomen, and he said with a half-smile, “Appendicitis?”
