Chapter Eleven: The Bet

  Everyone stopped and looked back at the sound of this obviously destructive voice.

  Ludi also followed everyone to forget the past, only to see a very handsome boy looking over here with a cold smile.

  Lu Li searched his memory and knew that the person in front of him was named Zhou Shan, with a very big background. Zhou Shan's father, Zhou Wen Xuan, was originally from Huaqing City and had moved to Xiangjiang City to struggle when he was young. Zhou Wen Xuan was indeed a talented person, starting from scratch and eventually establishing a small entertainment company called Huayu. After continuous development, Huayu has now grown into one of the three major entertainment giants in Xiangjiang, with great influence throughout the entire Huaxia region.

  However, for some reason, Zhou Wenyuan sent Zhou Shan back to Huqing City to attend high school. And this Zhou Shan relied on his family's wealth and was a lecherous playboy, at a young age he didn't know how many of the country's flowers he had ruined.

  Zhou Shan also has a crush on Meng Qi in the class, usually seeing Meng Qi and Lu Li getting along well, and also getting along with Jiang You, so both of them are hated by Zhou Shan.

  Of course, these things are impossible for bookworms to understand. These were all told by Jiang You to the bookworm in the past. That's why Lu Li can now recall this information from his mind.

  "Hmph, Zhou Shan, what does it have to do with you whether I, Jiang You, can make a name for myself? Are you jealous of me? Jealous that I got into the directing program? Unlike some people who might not even pass their cultural exams." Jiang You heard Zhou Shan's words and was also very displeased. He snorted in response and said with a mocking expression.

  "You...". Zhou Shan was stunned by Jiang You's words, and he naturally knew who the person with poor academic performance that Jiang You mentioned was. However, in an instant, Zhou Shan burst out laughing again, laughing very smugly: "So what if my academic performance is bad? I don't even need to attend university. When I graduate from high school, my dad will package me well and I'll become a popular star in no time. Probably by then, you'll still be doing odd jobs on set, haha!"

  In the end, Zhou Shan burst out laughing wildly.

  Lu Li narrowed his eyes and took a closer look at Zhou Shan. He had to admit that Zhou Shan was indeed very handsome, with excellent physical conditions, making him a great candidate for an actor. However, the arrogant expression on his face somewhat ruined his good looks, and Lu Li looked displeased.

  Alas, it's true that the second generation of the rich are not well-educated and will cause problems. The earth is like this, and so is here. Since I am not a second-generation rich person, I should strive to become a first-generation rich person, and then educate my own descendants well.

  Hehe. Lu Li couldn't help but laugh at her own ridiculous idea in her heart.

  "Zhou Shan, let's make a bet." Lu Li said with a light smile as he looked at Zhou Shan's crazily smiling face.

  But as soon as Lu Li said this, everyone looked at him in surprise, including Jiang You: "Lizi, what are you up to?"

  Lu Li didn't answer Jiang You, but instead smiled faintly and looked at Zhou Shan.

  Zhou Shan looked at Lu Li, unsure of what he meant, and asked: "Lu Li, what do you mean?"

  "It doesn't mean anything, I just want to make a bet with you. Let's set the deadline as ten years after high school graduation. I bet that in ten years, Jiang You's achievements will definitely surpass yours. What do you think?" Lu Li heard Zhou Shan's question and proposed an unbelievable bet that no one dared to believe.

  "Lizi, you... " Jiang You was a bit anxious. He knew his own situation and also knew that Zhou Shan's words were somewhat arrogant but not wrong. Maybe after graduating from university, he could only follow in his father's footsteps and work as an extra on the crew for a few years.

  But Zhou Shan's situation was different. His background was well-known to Jiang You, and with such a large entertainment group backing him up, becoming famous was an extremely quick thing.

  Lu Li saw Jiang You's anxious appearance and shook his head at him. Jiang You could understand that Lu Li, who had experienced past lives, would not be unclear about things, but Lu Li was still confident, not in himself, but in the countless classics of the Earth.

  Zhou Shan, although a bit dim-witted, quickly thought through the obvious problem and smiled: "Bet? Why not bet. But what are we betting on? What do you have that's worth betting against me?"

  Lu Li was also taken aback by this question, yeah, what can be used as a bet?

  "Alright, Lu Li, if you lose, ten years from now, your classmates will see you running a lap around the school playground in just your underwear." Zhou Shan suggested, seeing that Lu Li had no good solution.

  "Alright, I'll bet. And what if you lose?" Lu Li didn't get intimidated by Zhou Shan's words, he just furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before agreeing.

  "Me, could I possibly lose?" Upon hearing Lu Li's rhetorical question, Zhou Shan burst out laughing as if he had heard something hilarious and finally said: "Forget it, lest our classmates say I'm bullying you. If I lose later, I'll be the same as you, so that should be fine, right."

  "Of course, all of you present today are witnesses, so don't try to deny it later." After hearing Zhou Shan's words, Lu Li immediately calmed down.

  The classmates around them heard such a bet and felt that it was not quite right, after all, they were classmates, there was no need to make the relationship so awkward. However, this was something others were willing to do themselves, and they didn't think it was their place to advise others on what to do.

  But what they can't figure out is that Lu Li, who usually acts like a bookworm, has changed somehow after coming back injured this time. Has his brain been damaged?

  Many people can't help but think that Lu Li's brain was injured. Moreover, in their eyes, Lu Li and Zhou Shan making such an unwise bet is something that only a fool would do.

  Alas, what a pity for such a talented student! Many people sighed in their hearts.

  Lu Li also didn't know what these people were thinking, otherwise she would be so depressed that she couldn't help but die.

  The people who worry about Lu Li the most are Meng Qi and Jiang You. One has secretly admired Lu Li, while the other is Lu Li's good brother. Moreover, this bet was made by Lu Li for his own sake, so Jiang You is even more worried about Lu Li.

  Meng Qi was on the other side, pouting with her small mouth, almost crying, and constantly pulling Lu Li's sleeve to persuade him not to gamble.

  While being moved in the midst of chaos, I also feel speechless, am I really that unremarkable?

  "Sauce, it's up to you now, bro. You'd better work hard and learn more about directing in college." As long as there's a good script and Director Jiang's skills aren't too bad, investing in him to make a few good films will quickly surpass Zhou Shan. This is also why Lu Li is so confident he can win - after all, he has many classic scripts in his mind, and as for investment, Lu Li naturally has ways to earn it.

  "Alright, Meng Qi, don't worry about me either. I know what I'm doing, just believe in me." Seeing the misty eyes of Meng Qi, Lu Li also had a different view of this pure and sweet girl, and comforted her.

  Meng Qi heard this and wanted to say something, but the class bell had already rung, so she could only return to her seat, occasionally turning her head to look at Lu Li with concern. Lu Li naturally pretended not to have seen anything.

  However, this fell into Zhou Shan's eyes, which made Zhou Shan's jealousy even more intense. He glared at Lu Li with resentment and returned to his seat.

  The classmates around him also heard the bell for class and dispersed one after another.

  "Lizi, this director isn't just about studying and working hard, there's a lot more to it..." Seeing that the teacher hadn't arrived yet, Jiang You still felt that this bet wasn't very promising and wanted to have a good talk with Lu Li.

  "Alright, I know. After graduating from university, you don't have to worry about anything else. Just make sure you master the directing skills and that's it." Lu Li knew what Jiang You was going to say and quickly interrupted: "I'm confident in what I do, as for why I'm so confident that I can win this bet, don't ask me now, you'll know when the time comes. Alright, hurry up and focus on your studies, or else you might not even pass the cultural exams, and then I'll definitely lose."

  Jiang You stopped talking after hearing Lu Li's words. He really wanted to ask Lu Li where his confidence came from, but looking at Lu Li's mysterious expression, he estimated that asking would not yield any results. Forget it, he didn't care about that much anymore, as long as he followed Lizzi's advice and studied the professional knowledge of directing carefully.

  Jiang You finally stopped talking, and Lu Li let out a sigh of relief.

  This lesson is an English class, and the teacher is a famous female teacher who is explaining grammar knowledge at this moment. Lu Li's eyes stared at the blackboard without blinking, but in fact, she was thinking about other things in her heart.

  This time, I made a bet with Zhou Shan. It wasn't because of Lu Li's impulsiveness or anything else, but rather because in Lu Li's memory, he knew that Zhou Shan had secretly bullied his predecessor multiple times, and did it very discreetly, so no one knew. Not even Jiang You knew about these things, because when Lu Li was with Jiang You, Zhou Shan wouldn't dare to make a move, but as soon as Lu Li was alone, Zhou Shan would think of ways to torment his predecessor Lu Li.

  Lu Li has now entered the body of his predecessor, possessing these memories, and naturally sees them clearly. Moreover, today he was indeed somewhat displeased with Zhou Shan's provocation towards Jiang You, so Lu Li made this bet with Zhou Shan.

  Now Ludi is considering the issue of choosing a major. If his brain hadn't undergone a mutation, Ludi would probably choose Chinese Language and Literature as his major, slowly accumulating experience to become a web novel master, and living a pretty good life.

  But now that he has a powerful Golden Finger, Lu Li must think carefully about his next move.

  The director's knowledge is basically all learned, it's just that I don't know if there are any differences in this world, and when the time comes, I should be able to learn a little bit and communicate. Moreover, Lu Li has also taken the opportunity to understand the current physical condition over the past few days.

  His appearance is not handsome, at least much worse than Zhou Shan, but it's not ugly either. If his acting skills are good, he can also be an actor. Moreover, he has already started to change his voice, and Lu Li found that his current voice is still pretty good, not like the tone-deaf person on Earth. As long as he practices well now, he believes that after changing his voice, he will have a good voice.

  So now with self-directing, web writing, music and performance, what's lacking is just professional music knowledge and performance.

  After clarifying all these, I made up my mind to choose music major. After all, Lu Li didn't have any foundation at all, and systematic learning was necessary to succeed. As for acting, Lu Li's plan was to take an extracurricular acting training class after entering university.

  At this moment, Lu Li finally made his own decision, but only he himself knew, and would not tell anyone for the time being.

  PS: Alas, after updating today, I went to check the new book chart and found out that it was actually being bombed by others, damn it.
