Run, Best Actor!

Just as the two were chatting, Yang Mi's phone suddenly rang.

The moment the call connected, Zeng Jia's roar came from the other end: "Yang Mi, are you crazy?"

It's one thing to suddenly run off to London, but to visit someone in the hospital without any attempt at concealment—and you were photographed, do you even know that?!

"So what? My friend is injured, can't I come to the hospital to visit him?"

Yang Mi retorted confidently, "It's all aboveboard, why would I need to hide anything?"

"Are you kidding yourself? Liu Taile's pursuit of you caused quite a stir; the whole world knows about it!"

Zeng Jia continued to criticize, "Now that the other party is in trouble, you immediately abandoned the film crew and flew to London to visit them. What are you going to tell others?"

Don't forget, you have a boyfriend now!

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi's face immediately darkened.

"Sister Mimi, what happened?"

Liu Taile asked with concern.

"I'll call you back in a bit."

Yang Mi said something into her phone, hung up, and then gave Liu Taile a smile, "It's okay, don't worry, I can handle it."

But it looks like I need to go out and make a phone call.

"Go quickly, your work is more important."

Liu Taile replied, "You don't need to worry about me. I'll be able to get out of bed in about half a month, and I'll recover gradually afterwards."

"Yes, seeing that you are safe and sound has put my mind at ease."

Yang Mi nodded and said, "Anyway, I'm already in London, and I won't be leaving until tomorrow at the earliest."

I'll make a call first to arrange my work back home; this trip was indeed quite sudden.

"You don't need to worry about where to stay tonight. I'll have my parents clean up the room I stayed in at the guesthouse before."

Liu Taile said, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for you to book a hotel here now."

Because of the Olympics, hotels and guesthouses in London were basically fully booked.

Liu Renxian and Li Yuhua booked the guesthouse three months in advance, and even specially booked a room for Liu Taile so that he would have a place to rest after leaving the Olympic Village.

Now it's a good opportunity to let Yang Mi stay for one night.

"Oh, what about Tingting?"

Yang Mi hesitated for a moment.

She didn't come alone this time; her assistant, Sun Ting, accompanied her the whole time.

"It's alright, there's a double bed in the room, enough for both of you."

"That's fine then, no need to thank me, Xiao Le."

"That's more like it. Saying thank you to me is too formal!"

Liu Taile said happily.

Having put her worries aside, Yang Mi turned around and went out to make a phone call.

Inside the room, Liu Taile suppressed his smile and sighed softly.

"As long as you're not married, I still have hope!"

He murmured to himself, his expression hardening.

……

In the original timeline, Liu Taile was someone that other people's children envied.

Because he is a second-generation rich kid, he is a representative figure of "parents are successful, but you can just lie back".

My hometown is Jiamusi in Heilongjiang Province. It used to have the largest textile factory in all of Asia—the Jiamusi Textile Factory.

Back then, he was a big name in the black soil of Northeast China.

The factory covers an area of ​​over one million square meters. What does that mean?

It's like you're riding your bicycle around the factory, and you get hungry but the canteen hasn't arrived yet.

At its peak, the factory had more than 14,000 employees and was equipped with everything from a hospital to a school for factory workers' children. A dedicated railway line ran directly to the factory gate.

This isn't a factory; it's an entire independent kingdom!

Their "Ruixue" brand yarn was a highly sought-after commodity back then, earning a national silver medal and enjoying immense prestige.

Liu Renxian and Li Yuhua were both originally workers at Jiafang Factory. Liu Renxian drove a truck, and Li Yuhua worked in the weaving workshop.

Both of them were employed, and their combined monthly income was over 1,500 yuan, which was the envy of their relatives and friends at the time.

But times change faster than turning the pages of a book.

In the 1990s, when the winds of the market economy swept in, those small private enterprises in the south, which were like small workshops, were all full of energy, because small boats are easy to turn around.

What about the behemoth that was Jiafang Factory?

Even turning around is difficult.

Furthermore, a government regulation order restricting yarn spindles effectively locked it out.

Within a few years, this once "industrial gem" could no longer operate and went bankrupt.

Fourteen thousand people went from being the masters of the factory to laid-off workers searching for work all over the streets overnight.

Liu Renxian and Li Yuhua were among them.

Fortunately, the factory leaders were quite kind at the time, and the severance pay given to each person was not low.

The two of them together have over 100,000 yuan.

Adding to the money they had saved before, their family had nearly 200,000 yuan in savings at that time.

In the 1990s, they would definitely be considered a well-off family.

However, we can't just sit back and live off the mountain.

Moreover, they are both only in their early thirties, still very young.

Then, like other laid-off workers from Jiafang Factory at the time, Liu Renxian entered the logistics industry.

This is quite a strange thing. There's a saying in later generations: Jiafang Factory was the Whampoa Military Academy of logistics in China!

When a state-owned enterprise collapsed, tens of thousands of secure jobs were lost, but guess what happened? These laid-off guys actually built a logistics empire worth tens of billions of yuan for China!

In the early 1990s, a laid-off worker named Fu Changming was one of the first to sense an opportunity.

He had been dealing in clothing in Guangzhou for several years, and he was constantly tormented by the freight transport from Shanghai to Guangzhou, which was slower than a tortoise crawling.

He had a sudden thought: instead of working himself to death in the textile industry, why not help others transport things?

This is better than anything else!

Without hesitation, in 1993, Shanghai Jiaji Express Co., Ltd. was born. The "Jia" in the name was his last thought for his hometown.

When news of Fu Changming's fortune reached Jiamusi, it was like a bomb being dropped on a group of laid-off workers.

A group of people who used to drive, work in sales, or hold leadership positions couldn't sit still anymore.

In particular, Wang Zhenhua, the former sales manager of the factory, a deputy division-level cadre, gave up his secure job and led a dozen or so confidants to Shanghai, where he took over a freight company and renamed it "Huayu".

This completely ignited the fuse.

After that, companies like Zhai Guoliang's "Jiayu" and Tian Lin's "Tongcheng" sprang up like mushrooms after rain, all starting with "Jia" or "Yu".

The people of Jiamusi adhere to one principle: stick together.

They relied on a model of fellow villagers helping each other, and managed to carve out a path in the unfamiliar city of Shanghai.

In just a few years, more than 30,000 people from Jiamusi went south to engage in freight transportation, and managed to support the less-than-truckload (LTL) logistics industry.

By 2005, Huayu's annual turnover had reached 20 billion yuan, and Jiaji's had exceeded 10 billion yuan. The combined network of the two companies covered the entire country.

The tragedy of an old industrial base in Northeast China, by sheer coincidence, became the opening epic of China's modern logistics industry.

Liu Renxian did the same; after being laid off, he started a logistics company called Jiatong Express.

Unlike others, Liu Renxian is attached to his hometown and his business has never left the three northeastern provinces, where he focuses on logistics and transportation.

Because the shop wasn't very big from the start, not all of the family's money was used.

Unlike others who started their own businesses with their husbands and became the bosses of logistics companies, Li Yuhua used the remaining money to open a dry cleaning shop.

Because of their excellent craftsmanship and reasonable prices, they have many repeat customers.

Gradually, the business grew and became a chain of stores, just like Liu Renxian's logistics company, flourishing in several major cities in Northeast China.

This is why their logistics company avoided the subsequent run on the bank.

Because real stories are never as fairytale-like.

After 2006, international capital entering the Chinese market began to target local logistics companies.

Then TNT acquired Huayu, and Yale acquired Jiayu. The empires built by these tough guys from Northeast China eventually changed hands.

Meanwhile, a new generation of logistics companies, led by Deppon Logistics, are beginning to seize their territory with more modern management models.

History is a rough and unforgiving thing; it doesn't care about reason or whether you cry or not.

In Northeast China, however, the Liu family's Jiatong Express has established a good reputation for fair prices and good service, so some of their long-term clients have no intention of switching logistics companies.

In addition, Li Yuhua's chain of dry cleaning stores has always been quite profitable, which can support Jiatong Express's expansion and business maintenance.

Therefore, in the original timeline, Liu Taile basically had a life of pure enjoyment from childhood to adulthood.

Children under 10 years old have their own rooms;

He had been abroad before the age of 10;

I had my own cell phone before I was 10 years old...

Liu Taile continued his studies step by step until he graduated from university, after which he gradually took over the family business.

Normally speaking, there is no need for such a life to be reborn.

Because he has no regrets in life that he needs to make up for.

But it just happened so suddenly.

One day, he opened his eyes to find himself back in the summer of 06, and with him came a system that was a standard feature of time travel and rebirth these days.

However, this system, called "Female Star Radiance Support System," requires him to be bound to another person, who must be a female star, even though he is the host.

The system can evaluate the overall film and television image portrayed by that female star and then reward the host.

Specifically, for every film or television work that the bound object shoots, Liu Taile's system will reward him with a treasure chest.

Treasure chests can randomly draw abilities, items, or skills that are attached to the character created by the bound object.

The completeness of the world view of a film or television work, the degree of character portrayal, the proportion of screen time, the fullness of the characters, and external evaluations will all affect the level of prizes offered by the treasure chest.

The treasure chests are divided into eight levels from low to high: black, white, green, blue, purple, gold, orange, and red.

Prizes include, but are not limited to, cultivation techniques, skills, talents, bloodlines, and items.

Liu Taile was immediately excited.

Anyone can see how amazing this system is.

As long as the linked object is powerful enough, I can't even imagine how awesome the prizes I might get in the future.

According to the system introduction, due to the limitations of the system, prizes containing elements of magic, fantasy, immortals, mythology, and the supernatural cannot be presented.

But it can cover urban, martial arts, war, action, science fiction, suspense... all of these!

Speaking of martial arts dramas, if they could extract the internal energy cultivation techniques from the story, wouldn't that be phenomenal!

As for which object to choose for binding?

Having just been reborn, Liu Taile, watching the Zhang Jizhong version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" repeatedly broadcast on TV in 06, excitedly said to the system, "System, select Liu Yifei as the binding target!"

Because system evaluation involves external evaluation, the work of the bound object can only be settled after it has been successfully broadcast.

Although "Fairy Sister" has relatively few works, almost all of them have been broadcast, which is extremely rare and impressive in the entertainment industry.

So even if Liu Yifei's works received less favorable reviews in the following years, she was still a very worthwhile investment in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Moreover, given the existence of this system layer, the probability of the system host and the bound object meeting and getting to know each other is extremely high.

How many people of Liu Taile's generation could refuse the opportunity to get to know the "Fairy Sister"?

Unfortunately……

[Sorry, host, due to copyright reasons, this system can only be bound to people of the same nationality as the host.]

"grass!!!"

At that moment, Liu Taile immediately cursed out loud.

System, what does this have to do with copyright?

What, you look down on Americans?!

This involves nationality discrimination, are you aware of that?!

Unfortunately, the system stipulated this, and Liu Taile had no choice but to accept it.

Fortunately, he still has quite a few options.

After careful consideration, especially after seeing Guo Xiang's appearance in Liu Yifei's version of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Liu Taile made up his mind.

"System, select Yang Mi as the binding target!"

As far as Liu Taile knows, Yang Mi has been a well-known figure since her successful portrayal of Guo Xiang, the "Little Evil," in the 06 TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes." Her works have always been quite popular, and she has starred in many hit dramas and blockbuster dramas since then.

Even though many of her works haven't received high praise, it hasn't stopped her from becoming popular!

Furthermore, Yang Mi's works cover a wide range of genres, making her an excellent match for a project.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully bound yourself to actress Yang Mi. We are now settling accounts for the bound user's past works...]

[Ding! Settlement successful, reward chest formed. Would you like to open the chest now?]

"Let's open it."

Liu Taile was also curious to know what kind of reward Yang Mi could bring him.

He soon realized just how right his decision had been!
