Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"Brother, come on, sit down and have something to eat!" Lu Shaohua pulled Wang Lin to the table, and the group sat down again.

Seeing Lin Yaodong's wary gaze, Lu Shaohua didn't pay any attention. Instead, he first arranged for Wang Lin to sit down, and then went to the side to get bowls and chopsticks.

"Let me formally introduce you. This is my little brother in the security department, Wang Lin. He's an honest young man. I hope you two won't mind Wang Lin's rudeness just now!" After Lu Shaohua finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Lao Gui and Lin Yaodong!

"Brother, and my two older brothers, it was my fault. I apologize to you both! Brother Hua is my good older brother, I can't let him bear the consequences for me!" After Wang Lin finished speaking, he even bowed to Lao Gui and Lin Yaodong.

Seeing Wang Lin's loyalty and righteousness, Lin Yaodong and his companion nodded secretly, their eyes filled with admiration. However, they didn't show much welcome; they simply clinked glasses with Wang Lin and stopped eyeing him suspiciously.

"Wang Lin, you'd better think this through! What we're doing now could cost us our lives!" Lu Shaohua said to Wang Lin with a serious expression.

"Brother Hua, do you think being looked down upon because you're poor is more important, or is your head more important? I live like a dog every day. If it weren't for you taking care of me, Brother Hua, I wouldn't have the life I have now. But Brother Hua, I also want to make something of myself. I also want to become a rich man so that Qingqing can see that I, Wang Lin, am not bad!" Wang Lin said to Lu Shaohua.

Looking at this young man, Lu Shaohua's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything. He simply raised his wine bottle and clinked it against Wang Lin's.

Although Lao Gui and Lin Yaodong were still wary of Wang Lin, they still clinked glasses with him, and the four of them drank it all in one go.

“Brother Hua, I heard you guys talking about doing something big just now, right? Don’t we have one in our chemical plant’s lab? And I feel that if you could get Master Deng to join us, then just one big one would be enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives!” Wang Lin said, seizing the opportunity.

Even Lao Gui and Lin Yaodong looked at Lu Shaohua expectantly. They hoped he could come up with a solution; after all, none of the people sitting here were short of money!

Wang Lin wants money to prove himself, Lao Gui wants money to escape and live a carefree life, Lin Yaodong wants to get money back to the village as soon as possible, and Lu Shaohua needs money to pay off his debts quickly.

However, all of this requires one prerequisite: the presence of ephedrine.

Lu Shaohua could understand the recipe and preparation method after reading it once, but without the ingredients, he had no way to proceed to the next step.

"I'll try to find a way to get ephedrine! My teacher has been upright his whole life, he won't agree!" Lu Shaohua said sadly.

Lu Shaohua had considered bringing his teacher, Deng Jianli, into the picture, but without a suitable opportunity, he didn't dare to bring it up with his teacher rashly.

The three were disappointed when they heard Lu Shaohua's words, but there was nothing they could do. Lin Yaodong could make ice and ecstasy.

However, both rock sugar and meatballs require one ingredient: ephedrine, which is what they are truly lacking.

Two days after drinking, Lu Shaohua continued to go to work without showing any signs of distress.

One day, Lu Shaohua received important news: his mentor Deng Jianli's wife's uremia could not be delayed any longer, and they had to find a kidney source as soon as possible, otherwise she would only wait to die!

Lu Shaohua thought to himself that his opportunity had come, so he began to make his plans.

The first thing he did was test his mentor. When he took a shower with his mentor after get off work, he deliberately didn't clean the smell off his hair.

As a seasoned chemical engineer, Deng Jianli immediately noticed the peculiar scent emanating from his apprentice. However, he made no fuss, simply memorizing it.

Seeing that the initial probe had yielded results and the teacher hadn't reported him, Lu Shaohua began the second step of his plan.

That night, Lu Shaohua drove his Crown sedan, making a detour past Deng Jianli's building, before heading to the place where he made that batch of rock sugar.

As expected, Deng Jianli followed Lu Shaohua's footsteps and found his factory, and then saw his kitchen.

Looking at the room full of chemical equipment, Deng Jianli immediately guessed what his beloved student was doing. However, Deng Jianli still didn't make a sound, but turned around and left silently.

After Deng Jianli left, Lu Shaohua emerged from a corner. Watching Deng Jianli's departing figure, he fell into deep thought; no one knew what he was thinking.

Two days later, Deng Jianli approached Lu Shaohua again because his wife needed dialysis.

"Shaohua, count your master in what you did!" Deng Jianli looked at his apprentice with a conflicted expression.

"Master, what are you talking about? What did I do?" Lu Shaohua appeared puzzled, but he already knew in his heart that his plan had succeeded.

"It's what you made in that abandoned warehouse! I know, don't worry, I don't mean to expose you. I just want to cooperate with you. Your master's wife needs to find a kidney donor as soon as possible, otherwise she'll just have to wait to die! We've never had any children, and we've been hoping for companionship in our old age. I can't just watch her die like this! So, Shaohua, let your master get involved, make some money, and use it to get your master's wife a kidney transplant!" Deng Jianli's face was full of sorrow and pleading.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lu Shaohua personally led Deng Jianli to the place where Lao Gui and Lin Yaodong were hiding and introduced Deng Jianli to the two of them.

"Old Ghost, Yaodong, this is my master, Engineer Deng, an old chemical engineer! We can begin our work now!" Although Lu Shaohua was usually very shrewd, he couldn't help but show his joy this time.

The deadline set by the debt collectors is fast approaching. If I can't resolve the ephedrine issue soon, everything I have now will be destroyed.

Although Lao Gui and Lin Yaodong outwardly welcomed him, they both harbored doubts in their hearts. This Lu Shaohua was truly audacious and reckless.

We're doing business with a death sentence at stake, and you're just going to bring people in like that? Isn't that a bit too frivolous?

But the two of them had no choice now, since everything depended on Lu Shaohua, so they could only follow along.

So the five of them started their first collaboration. However, Lin Yaodong also put forward his own idea: they couldn't just make rock candy; they needed something else to share the risk. And that something was the small pills that only he knew how to make!

“We don’t have much ephedrine to begin with, why would we want to allocate some to make small pills? I feel like this is such a ridiculous idea, Brother Hua!” Wang Lin said to Lu Shaohua while helping out.
