"How should I put it? I'm just an ordinary 18th-tier celebrity."
The person who was speaking was called Lu Yanhe.
He was sitting opposite a woman who was wearing a slim-fitting suit, was bright and attractive, and had a strong aura.
The person in front of me is called Chen Ziyan, a well-known ace agent in the circle.
Lu Yanhe, who had just turned eighteen, should have been nervous and even flattered to have the opportunity to meet this ace agent.
But he didn't.
If it was his original self sitting here, he would indeed feel flattered.
But the Lu Yanhe sitting here now is no longer the same Lu Yanhe.
He came from across time.
The time travel happened on the original body’s eighteenth birthday.
He looked directly into Chen Ziyan's eyes calmly and spoke.
"But I know that if you are willing to take me with you and give me a year, you can make me famous and let me make money for you."
A hint of interest appeared in Chen Ziyan's calm eyes.
The boy in front of me has just turned eighteen and is handsome. However, there are many handsome faces in the entertainment industry.
What attracted Chen Ziyan was his temperament.
She had seen too many young stars like Lu Yanhe, who were either arrogant, naive, or pretending to be calm.
But the relaxed and calm feeling on Lu Yanhe's body didn't seem to be fake.
Chen Ziyan recalled the information she had read about Lu Yanhe before.
The person in front of me seems to be completely different from what is shown in the information.
Lu Yanhe knew that whether Chen Ziyan was willing to accept him would determine whether his acting career could continue.
But he wasn't really nervous.
If you really can't be a celebrity, there are other ways to survive.
All this started three months ago, on the night of Lu Yanhe’s eighteenth birthday.
-
The first thing Lu Yanhe saw when he opened his eyes in this world was water, dark water.
He woke up suddenly and almost choked to death on a mouthful of water.
Fortunately, he could swim, so he steadied himself and floated up.
After finally swimming to the shore, he felt as if thousands of needles were piercing his brain. A huge pain suddenly spread along the nerve center, as if it was going to crush his head.
The memories of his original self suddenly attacked him.
All the memories of the past eighteen years came flooding back.
Lu Yanhe thought he almost died.
When the intense pain slowly dissipated and he regained his composure, Lu Yanhe had gained eighteen years of memories, memories belonging to another person.
Through this memory, he learned about his original body's life over the past eighteen years.
An orphan, he grew up in the countryside. As soon as he finished his nine-year compulsory education, he was taken out by his uncle at the age of fourteen. He helped out in his uncle's restaurant. At the age of fifteen, he was spotted by a scout and selected to participate in a talent show. He was selected to debut as a group and gained some popularity, but the agency he signed with was not very supportive. In the past three years, he had basically no other work except group activities.
Until his eighteenth birthday, he was pushed into the river and died quietly. Then he was possessed by Lu Yanhe, a man with the same name and surname from another world.
Lu Yanhe did not fall into the river and drown, but was pushed into the river by someone.
Who wants to kill him?
Lu Yanhe recalled it carefully, but couldn't figure it out.
The main reason is that his original body was too ordinary. Apart from a face that could make him a star, he had nothing outstanding. He had been signed with an agency for three years, so calling him an 18th-tier star was an exaggeration.
A timid person who lacks confidence and dares not speak, habitually hides from people's sight everywhere because of inferiority.
Such a person... Lu Yanhe felt that he was too unsuitable for the entertainment industry.
However, Lu Yanhe felt this way, not because he knew much about the entertainment industry.
His understanding of the entertainment industry comes entirely from some clips he saw on the Internet, and he only has the impression that "being a celebrity is very profitable."
But from the original body's point of view, not every celebrity artist makes a lot of money. The original body worked hard in the entertainment industry for three years, but his savings were zero.
Lu Yanhe spent an hour by the river to sort out his thoughts.
After all, time travel is something he has seen many times in novels, but this is the first time it has happened to him.
After spending an hour figuring out the whole thing from beginning to end, Lu Yanhe was stunned.
Lu Yanhe was stunned because he realized that he couldn't think about anything else right now. His biggest problem right now was that he couldn't even support himself! In this situation, someone actually wanted to kill him?
He debuted as a member of a group three years ago and signed a contract with the company. At that time, his personal contract with the company was for eight years, while the group contract lasted for three years.
During these three years, Lu Yanhe basically had no job of his own. It was all work for the group. He just worked as a side job to make a living. Now, three years are up and the group is about to disband, which means that his last source of income is gone.
Lu Yanhe was confused.
The first thing he did was to reach for his cell phone, call the police, and then check how much money he had. Anyway, the memory of his original body clearly told him that he had no assets or deposits, and all his money was in his e-wallet and payment software.
But the phone screen was black and I couldn't open it.
I don't know if it was damaged by water or if it ran out of power.
Lu Yanhe sighed.
If he had not clearly remembered from his original body's memory that he fell into the river because someone pushed him from behind, he would have really thought that his original body jumped into the river by himself.
-
One o'clock in the morning.
Lu Yanhe walked tiredly on the road, and the dim street lights cast a long shadow on him.
Occasionally a car would pass by him at great speed.
His cell phone was out of battery, he couldn't call a taxi, and he had no way to contact anyone. Now he could only walk slowly forward by himself to see how long it would take him to reach the dormitory arranged for him by the agency.
Tired, sleepy, cold and hungry.
On the first day of his journey through time, Lu Yanhe experienced what it meant to be hungry and cold.
He had never experienced poverty before, and in just a few hours, he felt it all over again, both physically and mentally.
“Beep beep—”
Suddenly a horn sounded.
Lu Yanhe turned his head to look.
A big red Mercedes-Benz slowed down and finally stopped next to him.
The light from the headlights was dazzling, and Lu Yanhe turned his head slightly to avoid the glare.
The car window was rolled down, revealing a beautiful face.
She looked at Lu Yanhe with interest and asked, "Get in the car?"
The woman's gaze startled him, but then he understood her intention from her suggestive gaze as she looked him up and down.
Although they were starving and cold, they had not yet reached the point where they had to sell themselves.
Lu Yanhe silently withdrew his gaze, ignored him, and walked forward.
"Handsome guy, you're quite cool!" The woman laughed, and without lingering, she restarted the car and continued driving forward.
Lu Yanhe suddenly regretted it.
"Hey, wait!" he shouted and took two steps after him.
The red Mercedes-Benz stopped again immediately.
Lu Yanhe ran forward.
The woman lowered the window again, her smile growing brighter, her voice sexy and lazily suffused with emotion, "I thought, your men will still refuse me, get in the car."
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes, creating a soft and charming arc.
Lu Yanhe swallowed awkwardly and forced a smile on his face. "No, you misunderstood. I wanted to ask, my phone is out of battery. Can you lend me yours so I can call the police? I was pushed into the river!"
The woman looked at him with a "What the hell" expression on her face. "Call the police? What do you mean?"
Lu Yanhe immediately shook his head: "No, I was just pushed into the river. Someone wanted to harm me. Seriously, believe me!"
"Are you serious?"
"Very seriously."
Lu Yanhe looked at her with some anticipation.
The woman raised the car window and stepped on the accelerator to the floor. The car sped away, leaving Lu Yanhe with a look of dejection.
Obviously, he didn't believe him at all.
