A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

July 4th, Friday.

After a morning of doing nothing, Sui Kuan finally couldn't hold back any longer at noon and dragged Li Mu along to make a phone call to Bie Yan.

The phone rang for quite a while before Bie Yan's groggy voice finally came through:

"Feed?"

"Brother Bie, it's me, Sui Kuan."

"Hmm, Xiao Sui... is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, nothing. I just wanted to ask Brother Bie, what interview assignments do we have today? Do Li Mu and I need to prepare in advance?"

"No. You two just need to rest. Hurry up and get your driver's licenses."

This is Bieyan's reply.

After the call ended, Fatty Sui was speechless.

"I have a feeling that Brother Bie has suddenly become a bit unreliable. Look at those guys in the local department, they're out doing fieldwork every day since they got a mentor..."

"Your mouth is even more unreliable."

Li Mu rolled his eyes:

"Li Wei and the others were just assigned mentors yesterday. What do you mean by 'going out every day'?"

Sui Kuan knew that what he said was inaccurate, but... anyone who had joined a "master's sect" would feel uneasy if they didn't see their master for two consecutive days.

"So what should we do?"

Li Mu shrugged:

"You should ask yourself what to do first. I have to take my theory test this afternoon. Don't stop talking, getting your driver's license is the most important thing."

"Then I'll go with you this afternoon."

"You've signed up?"

"Uh...no."

"Then why the hell are you going?"

Li Mu rolled his eyes and waved to the speechless Fatty Sui:

"You need to register for the written test (Theory Test 1) in advance. I'm off!"

After saying that, he picked up his backpack and walked out.

The advantage of being an intern is that the workload isn't too heavy, and because they don't have connections, they don't need to maintain relationships or try to get news. But it's different for full-time reporters. News demands timeliness, which means many reporters are on "24-hour" standby, and they must get to the scene as soon as they get a news tip.

Interns, however, are not so busy.

What's more, he's got a master who seems pretty lazy...

He left the newspaper office, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the driving school.

……

Subject 1, 100 points.

This is Li Mu's result at the traffic police team's test center. Passing the first subject means he can now focus on practicing for the road test.

And today is Friday.

He practiced until 9 p.m., after the driving school closed, to the instructor's surprise, "You've really never learned to drive before?" He then returned to Mingya Garden. Then, early Saturday morning, he arrived at the driving school on time again.

Parallel parking, reversing into a parking space, navigating around manhole covers, right-angle turns...

Li Mu himself didn't know why he was so familiar with cars.

After a full day of practice on Saturday, he had mastered almost every item, becoming extremely familiar with them.

So, unusually, when he went to practice on Sunday, the coach put him in the class where he would take the exam the following week.

After all, when he registered, he mentioned Brother Bie's name and expressed his desire to get his driver's license quickly.

While he was practicing again and again, Bie Yan called on Sunday afternoon.

"Hey, Xiao Li, prepare an interview article about 'Young Justice Bao 2,' and make sure the interview with Fan Bingbing is detailed."

"Uh... okay, bro. When do you need it?"

"tomorrow."

"Okay. Are we going to do an interview tomorrow?"

"It should be the day after tomorrow. You should finish the article first and follow the normal interview process, but for Fan Bingbing... polish it carefully. Don't make it too sharp, and find the right balance."

"Understood, Brother Bie. Is there anything else I should be aware of?"

"That's all. Give it to me at work tomorrow morning."

After giving his instructions, Bie Yan hung up the phone.

But Li Mu couldn't help but think of Chen Jinli...

I thought to myself, "Brother Bie must have been bribed by PR, right?"

He sat in the driving school's waiting area and began to work on the interview transcript, until Sui Kuan called to ask if Brother Bie was asking him to prepare the interview transcript for "Young Justice Bao 2".

Time flies, and darkness falls as the sun sets.

On his way home, he began to think about the interview transcript.

The reason "Young Justice Bao 2" is being interviewed right now is definitely because of its promotional needs.

Since it's for promotional purposes, it's nothing more than "explosive moments, interesting stories," and the unique features of the series itself.

As he pondered, he wrote down the questions he wanted to ask in his notebook.

As I was thinking, my thoughts drifted to the big star Fan Bingbing.

This actress is a household name.

The famous Jin Suo, right?

She was known as one of the "Three Beauties of Huanzhu" along with Zhao Wei (Xiao Yanzi) and Ruby Lin (Ziwei).

However, unlike Zhao Wei and Ruby Lin, who are now hugely popular, after "My Fair Princess II", the other party chose to confront Qiong Yao in court, resulting in a 1 million yuan contract termination drama.

The final result was a compensation of 200,000 yuan, and she regained her freedom. Qiong Yao also declared that she would blacklist her within the entertainment industry.

Regardless of the behind-the-scenes turmoil, it did not prevent her from gaining fame through the role of Jin Suo.

Now that he has joined Huayi Taihe, he will definitely seek a career transformation.

Thinking of this, Li Mu suddenly paused.

Seeking a career transformation...

He felt that he had grasped the core idea.

After pondering all the way home, he didn't start writing immediately upon returning, but instead turned on the TV.

He couldn't sleep these past two nights, so he watched these rented TV series.

He had watched "Never Close Your Eyes" and "Princess Pearl 2" before, so this time he watched Fan Bingbing's two latest works from last year and this year, a period drama called "Drifting in Troubled Times", which he just finished watching.

But instead of watching the whole thing, he exited the disc and immediately put "The Rise and Fall of Zhongguancun" into the disc.

A moment later, looking at "Su Xueer" with her long hair and youthful and beautiful appearance, he narrowed his eyes.

After Su Xueer's scenes ended, he immediately took the remote and fast-forwarded, then resumed normal playback when Su Xueer reappeared.

Soon, an hour and a half later, Li Mu, who had already watched seven or eight episodes, paused the playback, got up, and walked to his desk.

He had an idea of ​​how to conduct an interview with Fan Bingbing.

It seems that, just as I guessed, compared to her appearance in "Princess Pearl" where she would only stare wide-eyed and wail, shouting "Miss, something bad has happened!", her acting skills in "Zhongguancun" and "The Chaotic World" have indeed evolved.

It's the kind of steady improvement.

And most importantly, her acting style is something Li Mu feels she is deliberately hiding from her past role in "Princess Pearl".

Although he knew he wasn't a professional director or actor, he could genuinely feel the change when he paid close attention.

Thus, by observing a part of the whole picture, Fan Bingbing's manuscript had a clear theme.

It's about "breakthrough, change"...

As he pondered, he began to write furiously in his notebook.

Night deepened.
