A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

"...Li Mu!?"

At the entrance of the lottery center, Sui Kuan, standing in the crowd, raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Fatty, do you know him?"

Upon hearing Sui Kuan's voice, one of them quickly raised his camera and asked.

Immediately afterward, another person quickly asked:

"Is this the winner?"

His words left everyone speechless.

I thought to myself, this question is really stupid.

However, another person immediately said:

"He went to the Southern Metropolis Daily for an internship with Sui Kuan, right? He's our classmate, I remember him."

Upon hearing that he was in the same industry, the young people immediately lost interest. However, another group of people nearby quickly approached Li Mu as he walked out of the lottery center alone.

"Hello, sir, are you the winner of the grand prize in the lottery?"

Li Mu paused for a moment, then quickly shook his head, and took out his press pass from his backpack:

"I'm a journalist too."

Upon hearing this, some reporters immediately put down their cameras, but one of the female hosts asked with some surprise:

"You snuck in? Did you see the winner? Has anyone gone to claim the prize?"

"Li Mu! Here he is!"

At this moment, Li Mu heard a familiar voice and subconsciously turned his head. When he saw Sui Kuan, he was stunned. Then he waved his hand, squeezed out of the crowd without saying a word, and walked towards Sui Kuan.

But these reporters seemed determined to press on, continuing to ask:

"What's the situation inside now? Has the big prize been claimed?"

When pressed by these people, Li Mu's only response was to shake his head.

"Sorry, I'm not sure. I was just trying to sneak in when I was spotted and asked to leave. Excuse me, my colleague is over there."

"..."

The reporters were speechless.

But I know perfectly well that this kind of news is definitely exclusive.

We're all in the same industry; anyone with common sense wouldn't leak exclusive news. Asking this young man is less helpful than asking the staff at the lottery center.

But... well, the lottery center strictly forbids the disclosure of any lottery winner's information, and they are very strict about it. If they hold anyone accountable, the journalists and information providers might not fare well. Therefore, the lottery center staff and journalists are on opposite sides, and everyone is wary of each other.

Reporters can interview the lottery winner, but they cannot step into the lottery center. Inside the lottery center, the winner's privacy is protected, but whether they will be surrounded by reporters after leaving the center is beyond their control.

Isn't this young man a perfect example?

Judging by his age... he must be a greenhorn who's just started out in the industry.

These official reporters, with various thoughts in mind, dispersed after confirming the unspoken interest of Li Mu, or perhaps the fact that he simply didn't know the situation. They continued to gather in front of the lottery center, scrutinizing passersby, trying to find the winner.

Li Mu walked over to Sui Kuan and then noticed that there were several familiar faces among them.

They were all college classmates.

However, after graduation, everyone went their separate ways, apparently joining different newspapers and magazines.

"Li Mu, what brings you here?"

"I was just about to ask you that, what are you doing here?"

He and Sui Kuan stared at each other blankly.

Sui Kuan shrugged:

"I saw on the news last night that ten big prizes were won in our province, so I came here to dig up the story. What about you?"

"Me too."

Before the two could finish speaking, someone nearby suddenly laughed and said:

"Li Mu, tell me what's going on inside? It's already past 9:30, and you've been in there for half an hour?"

This person's name is Zhang Fengli, and he is also a classmate of Sun Yat-sen University.

As soon as he spoke, the other young people also looked over.

Everyone here is an intern and desperately needs news to get a permanent position, so naturally we won't let this opportunity slip by.

But Li Mu still shook his head:

"I almost got arrested as a thief, even though I didn't go inside."

No one else believed him at all.

"That's...not very kind of you. We're all classmates, so why don't you just tell us what's going on inside?"

No sooner had Zhang Fengli finished speaking than Sui Kuan interjected:

"What did you say? I told you, you can put Li Mu's name on the article after it's published?"

After saying that, he grabbed Li Mu and left.

"Let's go, let's go buy a bottle of water."

Relying on his physique, Sui Kuan effortlessly grabbed Li Mu and pushed his way through the crowd, heading towards the bus stop. The others, after watching for a while, all wore disdainful expressions.

"What the hell? They just snuck in, it's not like they interviewed the lottery winner..."

……

"Boss, two bottles of Coke."

Sui Kuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Mu.

After Li Mu waved his hand to indicate that he wouldn't smoke, he proactively said:

"You came directly here too?"

"Yes, I arrived at 9:20. Have you gone to work yet?"

"No, I saw the news last night and was afraid of missing out on the winner, so I came early this morning. Didn't you check in?"

"No, I was thinking of going back at noon to submit a fieldwork report as required."

Sui Kuan took a drag of his cigarette, handed a bottle of cola to Li Mu, and then asked:

"Inside..."

Before Li Mu could answer, a voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Sui Kuan? Li Mu?"

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and suddenly found a group of people looking at them in surprise. These people were none other than their colleagues who had interned together at the Southern Metropolis Daily.

"Why are you all here too?"

Sui Kuan was somewhat surprised, and the others also looked astonished. After hearing this, one of the girls, Li Wei, asked curiously:

"You two are here so early?... Oh right, I remember now, you two weren't here during the morning meeting."

"Is the morning meeting starting?"

"?"

Li Mu and Sui Kuan were both speechless.

"Yes."

Li Wei nodded:

"It's not your group, it's our [Local Department], but interns from other departments are here too. It's all about this news about the ten big prizes... Did you two come straight here?"

"Hmm, I was thinking of getting the paperwork done for the field interview later. What did the team discuss in the meeting?"

"They just told us to stake out the lottery center for the next few days and see if we could dig up any news about the winner... When did you arrive? Do you have any information?"

As Li Wei spoke, all the interns' eyes fell on the two of them.

But this time, Li Mu didn't say anything, and Sui Kuan just shook his head:

"Not at the moment."

"All right."

Hearing this, everyone thought it was normal and walked towards the entrance of the lottery center on their own.

Sui Kuan then turned to look at Li Mu and asked:

"Want to come along?"

"..."

Having taken advantage of the brief moment he had spent thinking about how to deal with the situation, Li Mu shook his head slightly and said to Sui Kuan:

"Fatty, after I finish interviewing people and write the article, could you help me revise and polish it?"

Sui Kuan was taken aback.

The next second, suddenly, his eyes lit up completely!
