Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

Li Bo drove the three of them to the rented house where Li Yumei lived.

Li Yumei had already gone to discuss cooking with Wang Lanzhi, so there was no one at home.

Bo Bing took Bo Yuntian's keys and told the two guys to wait for him downstairs while he went upstairs to put his things away. Li Bo originally wanted to help him carry his things, but Bo Bing politely declined. The young man glanced at him and told him that as an injured man, he should rest well first.

Bo Bing entered the room and glanced around. The layout of the room had changed slightly, indicating that Li Yumei had bought some more things. She had also thoughtfully changed her bed sheets and duvet cover to clean ones, which still smelled of laundry detergent.

The young man glanced around the room, then placed several bags of urea directly at the door of the small bedroom, and took out a set of liquor from inside and placed it at the door.

"alpha."

Bo Bing nodded in satisfaction, turned around and went into the bathroom to wash his hands and face, and changed his clothes. However, he was a little uncomfortable in the small bathroom and found that this was not someone's home, and there was no washing machine to free up his hands.

He sighed. Habits are truly terrifying things. He'd only been away for a few months, and he'd already habitually looked for the washing machine. He cursed Yin Su inwardly for his petty-capitalist appeasement tactics; his own mind had almost been corrupted.

—Spoiling.

Bo Bing thought to herself with self-loathing.

The young man tossed his dirty clothes into the tin basin to soak.

He stared at the mirror, and the pale-faced young man in the mirror was also staring at him, but he finally didn't look so disheveled.

He called Yin Su to let him know he was safe. Yin Su was busy with something, but surprisingly, he didn't bombard him with messages. He just asked if he was safe. Bo Bing thought, "So he finally realized that chasing someone around 24 hours a day is annoying?"

but.

The young man probably knew that Yin Su was held up by other matters.

As for what it is...

Bo Bing had no interest in knowing.

The group drove a three-wheeled motorcycle. It was Saturday, and neither of the guys had to go to class. Bo Bing didn't have much to say, so she could only ask about their homework as usual.

Bo Yuntian was at ease, and Li Yumei dutifully helped with chores and attended tutoring classes, which was fine; what surprised him was that Li Bo seemed to have toned it down a bit as well, and when he asked, he found out it was because of Zhou Zhiyang's matter.

Zhou Zhiyang was not very active in class before, and there was a subtle tendency for him to be isolated. This became more and more obvious after he returned to school with bandages, and he was even excluded from group assignments.

Because of Li Bo's previous act of helping someone in need, he inadvertently became acquainted with Zhou Zhiyang. In addition, Bo Bing was nominally his family member and saved Zhou Zhiyang twice, so Zhou Zhiyang is now considered to be hanging out with Li Bo.

How could Zhou Tao possibly bear to hear Li Bo talk about Zhou Zhiyang being isolated and hidden?

So the wealthy and powerful Mr. Zhou went directly to his son's homeroom teacher, threw two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes in front of him, and told him to take good care of his child and Li Bo.

The homeroom teacher was so shocked that she jumped up.

Afterwards, things naturally got better for the two of them. With the teacher's support, the class became more harmonious. Li Bo was also nagged by his parents a lot about how excellent Bo Yuntian and Bo Bing were, so he actually became quieter for a while.

They drove all the way to Li Feng's house, and Li Bo jumped out of the car and opened the door.

"Mom! Look at the little Bing I brought back!"

The dark-skinned, thin boy jumped around, shoving Bo Bing directly in front of him to block her, and then boasted to Wang Lanzhi, who came out of the door, "I brought Brother Xiao Bing here."

"You naughty child," Wang Lanzhi said with a smile as she put Bo Bing inside, looking the young man up and down. "Xiao Bing, look at you, you've gotten thinner again. Is it because you can't get used to their food? Come and visit more often now that you're back, so you can keep this little rascal in check!"

Bo Bing smiled readily and handed over the two bottles of wine in her hand, saying, "Aunt Lanzhi, these are for you and your uncle that I brought back this time."

"Hey, Xiao Bing, look at you, you even brought back some good wine from your own home! And you're being so polite when you come back," Wang Lanzhi declined a couple of times, but quickly accepted the two bottles of wine. This wine was obviously not cheap, and it was kind of Bo Bing to bring such good wine to her home.

"Come in quickly, Xiaoyun, take your brother to wash his hands," Li Feng said, a cigarette dangling from his lips. Upon seeing Bo Bing, he immediately went over to greet him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the wine in Wang Lanzhi's hand and immediately looked at it. "Good wine, this must have cost a lot of money."

"What money? Look at what you're saying in front of Xiaobing!"

Wang Lanzhi nudged Li Feng and winked at him, signaling him to shut up. "Xiao Bing is just showing respect to her elders. We're family, so let's not talk about money..."

Li Feng awkwardly touched his nose, trying to hide his embarrassment.

He turned around and saw Li Bo following behind Bo Bing, trying to sneak in. Li Bo's face was covered in bruises, and he was immediately furious. "You brat, I told you to go pick up your brother, what are you doing getting into a fight again?"

He has a very loud voice.

"Fourth brother, stop scolding Bobo! Look at you—"

The guy in the living room also stood up and came out, quickly trying to persuade Li Feng not to make things difficult for the child and to speak nicely.

Bo Bing looked and saw that not only Li Dai's family, the third son, came out, but also the Zhou family father and son.

He touched his chin.

What are you doing?

Is this some kind of trap? There are so many people here.

Li Feng felt humiliated, but since it was Li Dai who spoke, he could only glare at Li Bo with dissatisfaction.

The group finally sat down to eat, with adults and children sitting separately, and Bo Bing naturally took a seat at the table.

The food and drinks were prepared by Wang Lanzhi and Li Yumei, as well as delivered by Zhuangyuanlou Restaurant. Zhou Tao learned that Li Dai was going back today to welcome Bo Bing back, so he also "brought his own food" and joined the meal.

"Bobo, what happened to your face?"

Li Dai looked up at Li Bo at the next table.

Li Bo shrank his neck. "It was when we picked up Brother Xiao Bing today that we were mistaken for poachers. They came up and told us to leave, saying we couldn't stay there."

“We said we were picking someone up, but they wouldn’t let it go and tried to beat us up, telling us to get lost,” Bo Yuntian stood up and put a bowl of meat on Bo Bing’s plate that wasn’t there. “Bo Bo cursed back a couple of times, and then a fight broke out.”

"Whose person?"

Zhou Tao and Li Dai suddenly looked at each other as if they remembered something, and then looked at Bo Bing, who was eating meat, and said in unison.

"Zhi Yu?"

Bo Bing nodded. "You two guessed very accurately."

"Still not quiet?"

Zhou Tao took a sip of wine, and his short, thick neck immediately turned red.

Li Dai frowned, feeling a headache coming on. "Things haven't been peaceful lately. The debate about whether Mayor Mo would be transferred seems to have been settled."

"How to say?"

Bo Bing raised her head with interest.

“A new mayor is being transferred from above, and Mo Jianjun will probably be going somewhere else,” Li Dai sighed. “Zhi Yu is probably too busy to deal with his own problems right now, so he probably won’t cause you any trouble.”

"He won't cause us any trouble, but the underlings are another story. I have important things to do and don't have the time to get entangled with them."

The young man chuckled, then looked up, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "They can mend their tattered pants slowly, but don't get in my way—or don't blame me for stirring up this mess too."

Those who do not seize opportunities presented by Heaven will suffer the consequences.

He was determined to test the waters and see what was really going on.

Thin Ice's brain was working at lightning speed.

“That’s true. I guess Zhi Yu is thinking the same thing now—you have to stir up the waters to catch the big fish,” Zhou Tao laughed, his fat face twitching. He raised his glass to Bo Bing, “I’m appreciating you more and more.”

The others were completely baffled by their cryptic exchange.

Li Dai wanted to ask Zhou Tao, but Zhou Tao tilted his head back and downed two or three cups of wine without hesitation, pretending not to see his hint.

“Hey, I have some inside information about the new mayor,” Zhou Tao said with a mysterious smile.

"Pretending to be a big shot."

Li Dai laughed and scolded.

Zhou Tao chuckled, wiped his mouth, and said, "We won't discuss the new mayor's background... but I've heard..."

He lowered his voice.

—"It's a woman."
