A perfect life begins with changing the timeline.

It's clear that Sisi has a very good upbringing.

Even though she and her mother were guests visiting a friend's house, after Liu Xiaoli arrived, she didn't go back upstairs with Chu Lin, but stayed in the living room on the first floor. She took Chu Lin to the kitchen to help Li Li, and from time to time, she would come over with a teapot to refill everyone's tea.

They are clearly quite well-mannered.

With Liu Xiaoli's arrival, Li Mu couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Naturally, the three "families" with children started chatting together.

The main topic revolves around Wang Hai's child named "Xiao Yu".

Chu Jiwei asked Wang Hai to send Xiaoyu to study here, to the same school as Chu Lin and Qianqian. It didn't even matter whether Wang Hai came or not; Xiaoyu could just live at Chu Jiwei's house.

Next is the education system in the United States, such as the educational model of the schools that Chu Lin and Xi Xi attend.

Li Mu has no children, but that doesn't stop him from broadening his horizons.

And perhaps it's a "rendezvous with a beauty," or perhaps it's a real-life example of two children speaking out.

When Wang Hai heard Liu Xiaoli say, "Then I think Brother Hai can really send the child over," he clearly hesitated.

Clearly, after learning about the education and future job prospects here through conversation, the furniture factory owner was somewhat tempted.

But this was a big deal, concerning the child's future, so he could only say that he needed to think about it.

After all, if the child came, his wife would definitely come along. He himself would have to take care of his business in China… This topic was considered closed, and at this moment, Liu Xiaoli turned to look at Li Mu:

"How old is Xiao Li this year?"

"21".

"Huh? So young?"

Hearing Li Mu's answer, the mature woman was clearly surprised.

Wang Hai, standing to the side, laughed and said:

"Among our group, Xiao Li is the youngest, but he's a true prodigy."

Actually, she wasn't too unfamiliar with Wang Hai.

Since arriving in the United States, her daughter and Chu Lin have become good friends, and she often visits the Chu family. During their casual conversations, "Brother Hai" always comes up in the couple's conversation. She also knows about Wang Hai's visit today; Li Li said that Brother Hai is here on a business trip abroad with people from Guangfa Bank. It was through this that she learned about the various benefits that Guangfa Bank's major clients enjoy.

Therefore, she knew that Wang Hai was a rich man, worth at least tens of millions.

After all, tens of millions are the minimum threshold for Guangfa Bank's major clients.

When she first saw Li Mu, she thought he was Wang Hai's secretary or a junior.

But when he heard the other person call him "Brother Wang", he felt that the two of them must be related or very close.

Judging from what Brother Hai said now... this young man doesn't seem to be the way I imagined.

Could they also be a major client of Guangfa?

However, she didn't ask directly, because it would definitely be inappropriate to ask. This is the essence of an adult's understanding of social etiquette; following Wang Hai's words, she smiled and said:

I think so too.

"Please don't."

Li Mu quickly shook his head:

"It's one thing for Brother Hai to praise me, but Sister Li, I really feel embarrassed by your praise."

"ha."

Liu Xiaoli chuckled softly and asked Wang Hai:

"Brother Hai, did Xiao Li come with you this time? Is he also planning to develop his career here?"

Wang Hai shook his head:

"We came on the same plane, but... Li, are you planning to develop your career here?"

"I'm not considering that right now, since I still have a formal job in China. So the main reason I'm here is to learn about the investment situation in the US and look for opportunities."

Take a look.

Some questions, when asked in a slightly different way, yield an obvious answer.

And it's not offensive.

Having already figured it out, Liu Xiaoli nodded and continued to ask curiously:

"So what kind of work did you do in China...?"

"I'm a reporter."

Li Mu smiled and pointed to the camera on the coffee table:

"Currently working at Southern Metropolis Daily."

"what?"

Liu Xiaoli was genuinely surprised.

At 21, many people haven't even graduated from university yet, right?

Is this young man already a journalist?

At this moment, Li Li, who was walking out of the kitchen, heard this and looked surprised:

"Xiao Li is a reporter? Which department at the Southern Metropolis Daily? I was an intern editor at the Changsha Evening News when I was young. Unfortunately, I had to quit my job after I married him."

"Sister Li Li, you're a senior. I'm in the Arts and Sports Department."

Upon hearing this, Li Li thought for a moment and asked:

"The department in charge of culture, sports, and entertainment, right?"

"Yes."

"Wow, so you see those celebrities all the time?"

As she spoke, suddenly, Xixi, who was watching TV with Chu Lin, twitched her ears and subconsciously turned her head away.

Because of the angle, Li Mu didn't see the girl's gaze, but simply smiled and nodded.

"It's something we see frequently."

Suddenly, Li Li became interested:

Which celebrities have you met? Have you interviewed them all?

"Hmm... I've interviewed quite a few. For example, Fan Bingbing, Lu Yi, and Ren Quan—I've interviewed all of them. Like Zhang Yimou, Li Lianjie, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Manyu..."

As he was speaking, suddenly a surprised voice rang out:

"Zhang Yimou!?"

Li Mu turned his head and realized that Qianqian was looking at him with a surprised expression.

Then he laughed and said:

"Yes, I attended the opening ceremony when the filming of 'Hero' started."

"what?"

Suddenly, the girl became interested and asked:

"Uncle Li, how does it feel to be a star?"

"Well……"

This question instantly exposed a blind spot in Li Mu's knowledge.

He's just a reporter, not a celebrity, so how would he know what it's like to be a celebrity?

So he smiled and shook his head:

"I don't know about that. Sisi, I'm just a reporter, not a celebrity... But then again..."

Recalling the night the Olympic bid was won, Fan Bingbing, who spoke his mind after drinking, nodded:

"It should be pretty good. I have a good relationship with Fan Bingbing. In her words, this industry is very tough, but it brings her an extraordinary sense of accomplishment."

"!"

"?"

"...?"

Now, not only Sisi, but everyone else also showed expressions of surprise.

However, Chu Lin, who had been watching TV the whole time, was the one whose emotions were most outwardly expressed.

"Huh!? Uncle Li, you...you said you know someone? Fan Bingbing!?"

The girl's eyes lit up, and she jumped to her feet.

"Fan Bingbing!? Jin Suo!? You know her!?"

Li Mu blinked...

Did they run into fans?

So he asked with a smile:

"You like her?"

"I absolutely love her! Wow! Uncle Li! You really know Fan Bingbing!? Is she beautiful in person? Even more beautiful than on TV!? Is she nice? Is she easy to get along with? Wow!!!! Uncle Li, could you give her a call? I want to hear her voice... Can you introduce me to her when I go back to China!?"

"Well……"

Seeing the girl's excited expression, Li Muxin said that she must be a true fan.

Then he laughed and said:

"Sure, no problem."

"Ah!!! Uncle Li, you're so kind!!!"

The girl suddenly became excited and started jumping around.

Sisi, who was next to her, also lit up.
