Huayu 1995

Chapter 2 You are really hungry

Anyone who's been through death knows that if you don't court death, you won't die.

However, Su Chao's transmigration not only allowed him to inherit the original owner's memories, but also his combat power.

Having grown up in Bajiquan, teaching these blustering thugs a lesson was incredibly easy.

His mother did tell him not to fight, but he had never listened to her since he was a child.

"Destroy them!"

At his command, the thugs charged forward, howling.

The movie "In the Heat of the Sun" says that the more people on both sides shout at each other, the less likely a fight will actually break out.

But now it's seven or eight people against two, so a winner and a loser have to be decided.

The outcome was decided very quickly.

"Lie down, everyone lie down. I'll beat up anyone who dares to get up... Lu Bu, what are you doing lying on the ground? Get up and get to work!"

Looking at the thugs lying on the ground, Su Chao felt that they all seemed to have shrunk in size.

Actually, he didn't quite reach the level of the ultimate killer.

At most, they're just a little better than the average person.

However, he was too experienced in fighting, and he liked to play dumb to catch people off guard, always launching surprise attacks when they were least expecting it.

Even martial arts experts might have to learn his methods.

Not to mention these petty scoundrels.

In 90, Zhao Changjun, who played Yuan Shikai in "A Blade to Destroy the City", got into a dispute with three thugs on his way home.

A martial arts champion was beaten up by thugs and ended up in the hospital.

It's because his punches weren't fast or powerful enough that he started to act arrogant after becoming famous.

Can you believe it? He even made hand gestures while fighting with thugs.

"What...what kind of work are you doing?"

Lu Bu was so flustered that he could barely speak, and his knees felt weak, giving him an urge to bow down in reverence.

His real name wasn't actually Lü Bu; he just really liked Lü Bu, so he gave himself that nickname.

He thought Lü Bu was a perfect man, the only bad thing being that he would readily become a godfather.

But now he can finally understand Lü Bu.

I have drifted through half my life, only regretting that I have not met a wise ruler. If Brother Chao does not abandon me, I am willing to become his godfather.

"Keep an eye on them, don't let them move," Su Chao said, holding down one of the thugs. "Let's start with you. What's your name?"

"Big Brother, my nickname is Big Mouth!"

"Brother Zui, what did you use to hit me just now? It made my pinky finger all red, and it hurts so much..."

"Face?"

The thug spoke up, completely clueless.

I'll hit you?
Damn it, I didn't even touch you before you punched me in the face.

"How much is the medicine? Seven cents? You're just trying to make a living with seven cents? Half a pack of cigarettes? It's not good for a young man to smoke. The matchbox is quite nice though..."

"Give it all to your older brother, please forgive me, I promise I'll never do it again."

"Just give me whatever amount is due. Do you think I'm a bandit?"

Big Mouth paid the money, didn't even pick up the things on the ground, and ran away without looking back, leaving his brothers staring at each other in disbelief.

“None of these guys have any sense of loyalty. Don’t let him get away with this later. It’s your turn. Why are your shoes dirty? Let me clean them for you. Shoe cleaning is one yuan… not even one yuan, eight mao. This piece of jade is nice, I think it’s worth two mao. Get lost, and don’t let me see you again.”

"Hey, you're glaring at me, aren't you? Did you just curse at me? Do you know how much damage you've done to my young heart? Two dollars? Fine, two dollars, you can leave now."

……

"The last one, you're the boss, right?"

"Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you. If I, surnamed Duan, even frown, I'm your son."

Even though his underlings have all run away, he can't lose face as the boss.

"Lu Bu, pull his pants down."

Why are you pulling down your pants?

"Slept with him."

"No!"

"No, no, no, big brother, I was wrong, please don't let him hurt me."

I'm telling you to handle the weapon, not to pull it out.

Both Lü Bu and the gang leader were very resistant to this. They had seen people with ruthless hands, but they had never seen anyone with such a ruthless heart.

"I heard you're going to give me two leaves, so I'll do you that favor."

"Brother, I have no money!"

"You have ten seconds to get your money, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen... Cry? Crying counts as time too~"

"Rich, rich, right here in my underwear!"

"Damn it, you old bastard, you actually hid money in your pants. Wait a minute, I'll write you an IOU."

Su Chao grabbed his snakeskin bag, rummaged through it for a while, found paper and pen, and quickly started writing an IOU.

"My name is Sang Biao, and I'm borrowing... what's your name again?"

"Duan Ming, Duan as in Duan Yu, and Ming as in bright."

"Short-lived, huh? Your name is unlucky. When do you plan to make me pay back this twenty yuan?"

"Brother, you're in charge."

"Ten years, please keep this IOU safe..."

Su Chao tore it off and handed it to the other person.

Duan Ming and his party burst into tears. This was too damn unfair.

Are you asking for my opinion?
If I say I don't want to lend it, will you let me go?

However, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

He could have just stolen it, but he insisted on going through a process.

All I can say is that they're absolutely insane.

"Wait a minute, Duan, you're just going to take it like that?"

Even with a nickname, Su Chao couldn't tolerate anyone holding dirt on him.

The IOU is merely for procedural legality.

"Brother, I didn't want it. You insisted on giving it to me. How about I give it back to you?"

I almost cried because of how short-lived he was.

Society is too treacherous; they even steal money from thugs.

You fucking shameless bastard!

“Make him eat the IOU, that’s how it’s always portrayed in movies.”

Lu Bu jumped around on the sidelines, enjoying the spectacle.

Now that I have a godfather, please call me Marquis Wen!

With a long face, Duanming stuffed the IOU into his mouth and chewed it. He gagged several times, but still forced himself to swallow it.

"Oh dear, I wasn't paying attention for a moment. How did you eat the IOU? I just told you to keep it safe and not lose it. Now go on your way and behave yourself when you get back."

Su Chao waited until everyone had finished eating before feigning concern and speaking up.

Another day of saving wayward youth.

I wonder when I'll be able to save some wayward girls.

He felt as if he had been granted a pardon for his short life, and ran away in a frenzy, losing a shoe in the process without stopping to pick it up.

"You'll die young. From now on, avoid us brothers whenever you see us, or we'll beat you up every time we see you!"

Lu Bu shouted threats at his retreating figure.

Su Chao and I are invincible!
"Everyone who sees this gets a share. Take these two dollars and buy a pack of cigarettes."

After the ransacking, they got 28.8 yuan, a dozen cigarettes, two boxes of matches, and a copy of "An Actor Prepares"...

It has that satisfying feeling of defeating monsters and getting loot.

Su Chao didn't forget to give two pieces to Lü Bu.

Everyone who sees it gets a share.

And once you've taken the money, you're one of my people.

"Brother Chao, you're underestimating your brother! If it weren't for you, I'd be lying here today." Lu Bu resolutely refused, not daring to accept even a single cent.

"That's fine."

Su Chao didn't insist and put them all into his pocket.

"Brother Chao, is that martial arts? You just elbowed him and that little brat Duan Ming flew away..."

Lu Bu gestured animatedly.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter, and his knees grew weaker and weaker. If Su Chao hadn't been so young, he would have really wanted to kneel down and call him godfather.

"Don't tell anyone that I know kung fu."

Su Chao gave a word of advice.

As for those thugs, they probably wouldn't talk about something so shameful.

"Got it, hehe, it's convenient for ambushing people."

Lü Bu did not consider himself a mere brute.

He even fawned over Su Chao by carrying the snakeskin bag on his back.

I almost couldn't lift it up; that's when I realized it wasn't that the pockets were light, but that Su Chao was incredibly strong.

"What a joke! No matter how good your martial arts are, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife. If I run into someone with a gun, they could just shoot me and I'd be done for."

It's 95 now, this is terrifying.

Even a national Sanda champion surnamed Qiao was arrested for doing bad things.

A peanut is a matter of iron nails.

"Big brother, why did you choose me?"

Lu Bu was puzzled. There were so many people at the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio, how could someone choose him at a glance? It must be some special fate.

"You look tall and strong, I thought you were going to rob me."

Su Chao smiled warmly.

"grass……"

That's called entrapment.

The two quickly arrived at the place Lu Bu had mentioned.

It's actually just a row of old bungalows in a courtyard, similar to the kind in the movie "Get on the Bus" starring Huang Bo and Gao Hu. The entrance is fairly clean, with a smooth layer of coal ash.

A small window facing outwards from the courtyard wall was opened, with a sign that read "Fengxia Tobacco and Alcohol Supermarket" hanging on it.

Lu Bu led Su Chao over.

"Auntie, I brought someone to stay here. They'll stay in my room. It's fifty yuan a month, right?"

"Even if you add another person to your room, there are only six people, so you should calculate it as sixty-five."

"Never mind then, I'll take him somewhere else."

"Alright, alright, for the sake of you being a sex slave to three families, I'll just take fifty yuan from him. Give me the money!"

"Lu Bu was a slave to three masters, not a sex slave to three families!"

Lu Bu was trembling with anger, but he couldn't very well discuss the issue of sex slaves with an old woman.

These days, there's no such thing as paying three months' rent upfront and one month's deposit.

Those who can afford to live in this place are all extremely poor.

So Su Chao only needs to take out fifty yuan.

If it weren't for the kind person who sponsored him with over twenty dollars, Su Chao wouldn't have had enough money to pay the rent.

We relied entirely on kind people along the way.

"This is the boss lady you were talking about, with a really great figure and so alluring charm? I think you're really hungry~"

Su Chao followed Lü Bu deeper into the courtyard.

"Get lost, that's not the boss's wife, that's the boss's wife's mother-in-law."

"Oh, a married woman!"

"Her husband died a few years ago for some unknown reason, and now she lives with her mother-in-law."

"Wow, another buff has been added."

"what?"

"It's nothing, I'll treat you to dinner later..."

"No, how can I let you treat me? You saved my life today," Lu Bu thought for a moment and then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I've sent all the money I've earned home recently, otherwise I would have to treat you to a nice meal."

"Then just have a bite."

Su Chao only realized why the rent was so cheap after entering the small house.

Four bunk beds were crammed into a perfectly nice room.

There was no bathroom or kitchen, and it was cluttered with all sorts of things.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this.

This is how miserable life is for those who migrate to Beijing these days.

After putting his things away, Su Chao went out with Lü Bu to eat some noodles with soybean paste.

To repay the life-saving grace, Lü Bu also bought two bottles of beer.

I gained a lot from the conversation.

Su Chao learned a lot from Lü Bu.

As he lay in bed that night, he began to think about what to do next.

Although his rebirth with his cheat ability is very powerful, it's not easy to bring out its best effect.

The first issue is the initial capital.

An ordinary extra only earns thirty yuan a day, and it's rare for the group leader to pay the full amount; most take half, and some shady ones might only give ten yuan.

Higher-level actors will earn more, but with more people than opportunities, it's hard to seize them.

Therefore, most extras also have "part-time jobs".

Some work on construction sites, others in the catering industry.

Lü Bu's side job was to work as a security guard everywhere he went, taking advantage of his height and strength.

Su Chao has no intention of doing this kind of work.

The income ceiling is just too low.

He plans to continue doing the same thing he did in his previous life.

Su Chao was also from a rural background in his previous life. His family was poor when he was young, and he had little access to information and had never seen much of the world.

I worked my butt off to get into a university in Guangdong, and ended up choosing Human Resource Management as my major without any prior knowledge.

A few years after graduation, I came into contact with the education and training industry by chance.

After struggling for several years and accumulating a lot of experience, I started a training class with some friends, only to encounter a harsh winter in the education and training industry.

All of his savings over the years went down the drain, and he was left with a mountain of debt.

His girlfriend, who used to have nothing but him, quickly broke up with him.

It turns out that deep affection can be acted out.

Fortunately, there's always a way out. If you can't make money from elementary school students, then make money from adults. Su Chao simply started an art exam training program.

To prove himself, he put in the same effort he had during the college entrance exam, studying relentlessly until he was completely exhausted, sleeping only four or five hours a day.

Moreover, his style of doing things has also changed significantly.

Money can be earned back, but if you lose your conscience, you can earn even more.

They not only create opportunities for those who dream of becoming stars, but sometimes they also introduce teachers to stars who want to improve their acting skills.

Players like Huang Haibo, Zhang Songwen, Jin Yuting, and Wen Zhengrong are all on their foreign aid list, and they can occasionally invite some school teachers to give lessons.

I'd rather exhaust myself than let my competitors fail.

Their training program was considered exceptionally strong at the time.

Unfortunately, his good days didn't last long before he got himself killed.

When I was a 90s kid in my past life, I always complained that the opportunities were all taken by the 60s and 70s kids. Now that I'm a 70s kid, I feel a sense of pride, like "the emperor's throne rotates, and this year it's my turn."

Education and training is definitely a powerful tool for achieving initial capital accumulation in a short period of time.

As it was his old profession, Su Chao knew exactly how to fool people.

What are you waiting for?
Forget about personal ethics and enjoy a life of immorality!
