Chapter 68: My Romantic Luck

"I don't know." Qi Hui was puzzled. Why would I need to know that?

However, with the internet being so advanced before he transmigrated, Qi Hui had actually scrolled past a video or two like that.

It seemed to be something beer enthusiasts made themselves, which developed into an industry after a little bit of growth.

He couldn't remember clearly; that's just how surfing the web goes—knowledge goes in and out of the brain, and nothing stays.

"Then why did you want me to find a beer hall?" Zhang Ruoyun was speechless; he had assumed Qi Hui was also a craft beer enthusiast.

It turned out he didn't know anything at all!

"You don't understand." Qi Hui glanced at him and said slowly, "Bars are money pits—places of debauchery, vanity, and wanton indulgence."

Back when he was at the construction site, those guys would often drag Qi Hui along to bars to drink.

After going a few times, Qi Hui didn't want to go anymore; those places were too draining on a person's willpower.

He had to study for his First-Class Constructor exam.

Later, he had no choice; he couldn't refuse, so he went along anyway.

But once he arrived, he wouldn't sit for long before making an excuse to use the restroom, treating everyone to a round, and then slipping away to go back and study.

I'll secretly out-work you all to death!

"Then what about a tavern?" Zhang Ruoyun asked, puzzled. "Is there any difference?"

"It's different!" Qi Hui said sternly. "You can strive for success in a tavern!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Zhang Ruoyun choked. "Brother, let's not talk about that. We're art students, sure, but not fine arts students."

Qi Hui shrugged, took a sip of his drink, and asked, "Has your car accident been settled?"

"Yeah... it should have been finished a few days ago." Zhang Ruoyun complained bitterly. "But that woman is so long-winded and petty; it's annoying as hell."

"It's my first time meeting such a troublesome woman, and she's even in the industry—her name is Tang Ting. You must never work with her in the future..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he noticed Qi Hui staring straight at him.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Zhang Ruoyun was confused. Did I say something wrong?

Qi Hui rubbed his chin, his tone eerie: "I see your cheeks are rosy and your forehead is full—you're about to have a stroke of romantic luck!"

"Since when do you know how to... wait, no, are you talking about that woman?" Zhang Ruoyun was about to make a joke when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

His face darkened immediately: "What romantic luck? I have no interest in her!"

"She's fierce and troublesome..."

When he entered the traffic police station, he found out she was a woman from Sichuan Province, still studying in Chongqing.

She was a genuine Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Before the words had even left his mouth, Zhang Ruoyun noticed Qi Hui holding an Apple phone, filming him.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"I'm recording this to play at your wedding," Qi Hui chuckled, saying with great interest.

Zhang Ruoyun rolled his eyes, not caring much: "Whatever makes you happy... wait, isn't this an iPhone 4?"

"How did you get your hands on this?" Zhang Ruoyun asked, suddenly surprised again.

This thing hadn't been out long, and everyone in the digital circle had gone crazy, trying their best to snap one up; he couldn't even buy one to play with.

"Someone gave it to me," Qi Hui said.

"Who?" Zhang Ruoyun was curious. Could it be a woman?

Otherwise, why would his brother bring up romantic luck for no reason?

"Jing Tian, from your undergraduate class," Qi Hui said. Zhang Ruoyun was in the vocational class and wasn't in the same class as Jing Tian.

"Oh, it's her." Zhang Ruoyun had a sudden realization, then winked and chuckled: "And you said I had romantic luck—turns out it's your romantic luck!"

Qi Hui was speechless. He was telling the truth; why wouldn't this kid believe him?

"Forget it, let's talk business," Qi Hui said. "I have a script here—a military drama, a brotherhood story."

"How about you join in?"

What Qi Hui was referring to was, naturally, *I Am a Special Forces Soldier*.

Although the male lead of this show was Xiao Zhuang, the true protagonists were the six brothers of Lone Wolf Group B.

Every character was vivid and lifelike.

If Zhang Ruoyun came, he could have an impressive role, which would be good for his future.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoyun was stunned, then shrugged helplessly: "Brother, my dad is working on a new show."

"It's called *Black Fox*. I'm the male lead this time, Wen Zhang is playing a supporting role, and it's being filmed by the original crew of *Snow Leopard*."

Actually, if it weren't for the fact that his dad wasn't interested in his brother, he would have wanted to pull Qi Hui over.

Hearing this, Qi Hui nodded and didn't say anything more.

The current Zhang Ruoyun hadn't fallen out with his own father yet.

Moreover, compared to *Black Fox*, which was personally directed by his father and filmed by the original *Snow Leopard* crew, *I Am a Special Forces Soldier* currently had no advantages to speak of.

Qi Hui had no reason to convince Zhang Ruoyun to give up *Black Fox*.

To be honest, he couldn't quite understand the elder Zhang's attitude toward Zhang Ruoyun.

From what he saw on the *Snow Leopard* set, the elder Zhang's subtle, almost non-existent dislike for Zhang Ruoyun couldn't be faked.

There was also the incident where he screwed over his son, taking the 150 million he got from selling Zhang Ruoyun out to promote his third wife, Feng Yue.

And this so-called wife was even five years younger than Zhang Ruoyun.

That couldn't be faked either.

But it was undeniable that the elder Zhang was indeed helping Zhang Ruoyun in his career.

During *Snow Leopard*, if it hadn't been for the investors' strong opposition, the male lead would have gone to Zhang Ruoyun.

And now, the elder Zhang was even pulling together the original *Snow Leopard* crew and even using Wen Zhang to support Zhang Ruoyun.

Not only that, there would be a new *Snow Leopard* in a few years, and Zhang Ruoyun would be the male lead again.

From an outsider's perspective, for a father to do this much was indeed meticulous care for his son.

If he hadn't seen the elder Zhang's inexplicable dislike for Zhang Ruoyun, and if he didn't know that the elder Zhang would screw his son over later, Qi Hui might have truly believed it too.

Furthermore, the kindness of his stepmother, Liu Bei, toward Zhang Ruoyun was also visible, which meant the elder Zhang and Zhang Ruoyun lived together at times.

People, as expected, are all complex!

Qi Hui shook his head; it's hard for even an honest official to settle family disputes, let alone him, who was nothing.

The two chatted a bit more about their current situations and shared some interesting stories before parting ways two and a half hours later.

Qi Hui realized he couldn't help Zhang Ruoyun at this stage because the kid was always thinking about his dad's shows.

Even if Qi Hui wanted to drag him along to act in other shows, the kid probably didn't have that intention.

Before he transmigrated, why was it that he went to act in other people's shows... Qi Hui pondered, but couldn't recall the specific reason.

How could he remember? Working in civil engineering, he was exhausted every day; as soon as he got back, his brain would go blank and he wouldn't think about anything, so he couldn't remember the content of the videos he scrolled past.

He only remembered a few scattered words.

Qi Hui's life returned to peace—military training during the day, relaxing and entertainment at night, and teasing that girl Jing Tian from time to time.

Once Ling Xiaosu returned, he would go find him for a drink.

He hoped he could return before his own audition was successful, otherwise, Qi Hui would have to enter the military for training.

But just as Qi Hui was enjoying his leisure life without work, Zhang Ruoyun called.

He revealed the news that Ling Xiaosu had gotten a divorce and was feeling miserable at home!

This matter hadn't been revealed to the media yet; Zhang Ruoyun only knew through private channels.

Hearing this, Qi Hui scratched his head, planning to pull Zhang Ruoyun along in two days to go check on the situation at Ling Xiaosu's place.

Qi Hui was afraid Ling Xiaosu wouldn't open the door for them.

If he remembered correctly, it was during this storm that Ling Xiaosu went into a downward spiral.

And the "Flower of Evil" took off, reaching a height far beyond Ling Xiaosu's.

That won't do!
