Chapter 169 My Past Life at Uncle Dajun's Hotel (Only through the Jade Beauty Time-Space Law Mi
Meng Lu is Yang Yumei, but she doesn't know who she is. She only knows that she is Meng Lu, because this name was given to her by Xiao Yu'er in the novel "The Law of Time and Space".
From that moment on, she was Meng Lu, and Meng Lu meant having no other thoughts but her dreams! Only with a calm mind could she achieve the greatest success in her career.
Then she is Meng Lu. As long as she can achieve the greatest success in her career, it doesn't matter who she is.
When you have money, no matter who you are, people will recognize you. When you don't have money, even if others know who you are, they will pretend not to know you.
Meng Lu is more cunning than Yang Yumei. Unlike Yang Yumei in her previous life, who was always straightforward with people, Meng Lu is now following the arrangements of the system "Laws of Time and Space". She has come to this bar in the city, which is actually owned by her fourth uncle in her previous life.
But Meng Lu was unaware of this, because she no longer remembered having any relatives in her past or present life. She only remembered that the task assigned to her by the "Laws of Time and Space" was to improve her abilities and achieve her dream career.
Then the "Laws of Time and Space" will grant her "Freedom"!
Meng Lu entered the bar, which was bustling with activity. Under the flashing lights, people were dancing and swaying their bodies. She found an empty seat, her eyes scanning her surroundings, pondering how to improve her skills here.
Just then, a man approached with a wine glass and asked, "Miss, are you alone?"
Meng Lu glanced at him but didn't respond. After the man left, feeling awkward, Meng Lu saw a singer performing on stage. The singer was confident and had a beautiful voice. Meng Lu thought that perhaps this was a way to enhance her own presence and abilities.
So she went backstage, found the person in charge, and expressed that she also wanted to sing on stage.
The person in charge looked her up and down and was reluctant to agree, but Meng Lu's determined gaze made him change his mind.
Meng Lu stepped onto the stage, initially a little nervous, but thinking of her task, she took a deep breath and began to sing.
Her unique voice quickly attracted everyone's attention. When the song ended, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
Meng Lu felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. She knew she was one step closer to success, and the doubts about her past identity were now forgotten.
At this moment, a hint of surprise and admiration flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man sitting below the stage, Lin Qiang.
He stood up and slowly walked towards Meng Lu backstage. "Girl, you have great potential. My name is Lin Qiang, and I own an entertainment company. I want to sign you and groom you to become a singer."
Meng Lu's heart skipped a beat; this was undoubtedly a great opportunity to improve her abilities and realize her dreams. She looked at Lin Qiang and nodded solemnly.
Then, she regained her senses for a moment and used the "Laws of Time and Space" to identify Lin Qiang as a conman. He specifically targeted pretty girls. Meng Lu sneered inwardly but remained outwardly calm.
She feigned surprise and said, "Mr. Lin, really? That would be my honor. But I need to go back and prepare for the signing first, is that alright with you?" Lin Qiang thought she had taken the bait, so he nodded quickly and handed her a business card.
In the evening, after leaving the bar, Meng Lu didn't go far. She quietly hid in a corner to observe Lin Qiang's movements.
Sure enough, not long after, two girls named Xiaohong and Xiaolan came crying to Lin Qiang, asking for money. It turned out that they had also been tricked by Lin Qiang into signing an unequal treaty. Not only were they not famous, but Lin Qiang also owed them money and refused to pay it back.
Meng Lu decided to expose the scam and help them get back the money that Lin Qiang had cheated them out of.
Then, using some minor spells from the "Laws of Time and Space," she conjured two little ghosts that followed Lin Qiang as he walked home through the apartment building. The little ghosts were dressed in white with long black hair that reached their waists.
With a long tongue lolling out, it continued, refusing to listen, "Lin Qiang, quickly return the money you swindled from Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan by signing them."
Lin Qiang trembled with fear upon hearing the sound, looking around but seeing no one. He quickened his pace towards home, but the sound followed him relentlessly.
Meng Lu, controlling the little ghost from the shadows, watched with a cold smile as Lin Qiang, terrified, hurriedly entered the building. The little ghost passed through the wall and continued repeating the same phrase.
Lin Qiang finally broke down, shouting, "Stop bothering me! Give me back my money! Give me back my money!"
Then, seeing this, Meng Lu withdrew her spell, causing Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan to appear before Lin Qiang. Lin Qiang, looking quite pleased with himself, took out the money he had owed them from the cupboard and returned it to Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan.
Meng Lu then dismissed the two girls, who happily took the compensation money and left.
At this moment, Meng Lu appeared, and Lin Qiang asked in astonishment, "Meng Lu, what brings you here?"
"Director Lin, I'm here to sign a contract."
"Ah! You mean, should we sign a contract?"
Lin Qiang was afraid that he might use some strange methods against other girls, and that there would be others like the two kids tonight chasing after girls who had been scammed, demanding money back. He nodded uncertainly.
Then, he shook his head and admitted his mistake of lying to the girl in the past.
Then, he looked at Meng Lu and said with a smile, "I am willing to give Meng Lu some money as hush money."
Meng Lu naturally refused, but after the matter spread, Meng Lu's reputation soared, and he extended an olive branch to her.
As for the ultimate reward of the "Laws of Time and Space"—"Freedom"—she believes that as long as she continues to improve herself, she will get it one day.
Meng Lu was promoted to a singer at the hotel by the hotel owner and a front desk employee.
Her singing voice was beautiful, and her appearance was stunning. She attracted all sorts of noblemen and princes. Meng Lu turned around and suddenly realized that the man who had been coming to the sightseeing hotel to eat and drink for the past few days looked like a man from her previous life.
The young man was dressed elegantly and possessed an extraordinary air. He approached Meng Lu and politely introduced himself: "Miss Meng Lu, I've long admired your name. I am Cheng Yu from the Cheng family. Your singing voice is heavenly; I would like to invite you to perform at a private banquet." Meng Lu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this might be a good opportunity to expand her network and enhance her reputation, so she agreed.
At the banquet, the guests were all prominent figures in the city. Meng Lu took to the stage and sang, stunning the entire audience.
After the performance, Cheng Yu led Meng Lu among the guests, chatting with them. Meng Lu keenly sensed several business opportunities and secretly noted down everyone's contact information for future collaborations.
However, Meng Lu discovered that the banquet seemed to be backed by a complex network of interpersonal relationships and conflicting interests. Just as she was about to delve deeper, she suddenly received a warning from the "Laws of Time and Space," reminding her not to get too involved lest it affect the mission's progress. Meng Lu had no choice but to temporarily suppress her thoughts and focus on improving her abilities.
Cheng Yu moved closer to Meng Lu again, his eyes full of admiration: "Ms. Meng Lu, I look forward to hearing your singing again next time."
Meng Lu responded with a smile, knowing full well that she still had a long way to go and needed to take it one step at a time towards gaining her freedom.
