Life Without Past Memories Chapter 9

Alex Chu was stunned for a moment. He hadn't noticed who was using the recording studio. When he saw it was Ethan Chen, he smiled gently: "I was wondering who has such a nice voice. It turns out to be Ethan Chen."

Originally, Ethan Chen was just joking and being polite. If he really followed this line, he would lose face. Alex Chu said this to praise him and also to show that he was just passing by. A more narcissistic person would understand this as "I was attracted by this nice voice and stopped."

Sure enough, after hearing this, the smile on Ethan Chen's face deepened: "It's rare for Brother Qin to come here, can you give me some guidance?" As he said this, his eyes were looking at Jason Zhong behind Alex Chu.

Ethan Chen was a new recruit who had just started a talk show at 4pm. To put it bluntly, it was just a useless show to fill the gap in the show time slot, and not many people watched it. But for a new graduate, this treatment was already very good.

Alex Chu saw him looking at Jason Zhong, so he said, "Ah, you may not be familiar with him. This is Mr. Zhong from Shengshi. He came here to inspect the work today."

"Mr. Zhong." Ethan Chen stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jason Zhong.

Jason Zhong stretched out his hand and shook it for a moment before letting go and saying, "We have something else to do, so we'll leave first." After that, he turned and left. Alex Chu smiled at Ethan Chen and followed him.

The smile on Ethan Chen's face quickly disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked at the direction where Jason Zhong left. This Mr. Zhong is really interesting. His mother had introduced him to him when he first came. Alex Chu was expecting Jason Zhong to say that they had met before, but this person actually pretended not to know him!

"He is Director Chen's son," Alex Chu pulled Jason Zhong to another recording studio, talking about Ethan Chen as they walked, "You told me this last month, saying that he doesn't want to reveal his identity for the time being and wants to climb up the ladder with his own strength." So he pretended not to know and introduced them to each other.

Jason Zhong nodded in understanding, but he disagreed in his heart. That man didn't look like a good person, so how could he really be the kind of rookie who simply wanted to climb up by relying on his own strength?

"Let's not talk about him anymore. What do you want to eat tonight? Let's eat outside." Alex Chu stopped outside Studio No. 2 and turned to ask him.

Jason Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Let's eat hot pot."

Alex Chu nodded, took Jason Zhong, found Liam Qian who had just finished recording the show, and thanked him: "Brother Qian, I'm sorry for your hard work. Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to hot pot."

"I can treat you to a meal, but why do we have to eat hotpot in the middle of summer?" Liam Qian twitched his mouth. How can you invite someone to a meal and then choose the food first?

"It's only in summer that we eat hotpot! It's just like eating popsicles in winter, so refreshing!" Alex Chu said with a smile.

Liam Qian didn't want to eat hotpot at all, but when he looked at Jason Zhong behind Alex Chu, he swallowed his objection. It was rare to have a meal with Mr. Zhong, so let's have hotpot.

An hour later, the three of them sat in the famous "Big Fish Hot Pot Restaurant". The air conditioner in the restaurant was turned on full blast, and it was actually a bit cold inside despite the scorching weather outside.

They ordered a nine-grid simmered hotpot, with each grid having a different base. Alex Chu took the menu and ordered the premium beef, crispy tripe, and the restaurant's signature dish, "spicy fish," which Jason Zhong liked, and handed the menu to Liam Qian.

As an old friend for many years, Liam Qian was not polite and ordered all kinds of meatballs he liked, including beef balls, fish balls, scallop balls...

The waiter took the order from the tablet and read the menu to confirm it. Jason Zhong suddenly said, "Add an order of shrimp paste."

Alex Chu was stunned and looked at Jason Zhong in disbelief.

"Mr. Zhong, do you still remember that Xiao Chu likes to eat shrimp balls?" Liam Qian smiled and drank a sip of sour plum soup.

"Yes," Jason Zhong responded, picking up the pot of iced sour plum soup and filling it for Alex Chu, "Just remember this one."

Alex Chu took a sip of the sour plum soup, which tasted sour and sweet, just like his mood at the moment.

Eating hot pot in the hot summer, enjoying the air conditioning, roasting by the fire, drinking beer and singing songs is indeed a great pleasure in life. The three of us ate until we were sweating and felt very comfortable.

Because he had to drive and couldn't drink beer, Alex Chu picked up the sour plum soup and clinked glasses with Liam Qian: "Brother Qian, I was in trouble last week, thanks to your help."

Liam Qian said to him: "Why are you being polite? If I have any problems one day, I will have to rely on you to take care of it! It's just that the pressure is great, and I'm afraid you will mess it up."

Alex Chu ran to sit over to Liam Qian, and the two of them clinked their sour plum soup together, asking Jason Zhong to take a photo. He found the photo beautification tool, and after a quick look, he found nothing strange in the photo, and then posted it on Weibo.

Alex Chu V: Thank you Brother Qian for taking over last week, I'll treat you to hot pot @ Qian Mi Teacher Liam You V

Liam Qian immediately forwarded this message and responded.

Money, Rice, Grain and Oil V: [rolling eyes] You should treat me to a coffin meal!

After the show aired last week, many people said that Liam Qian had a coffin face. He made fun of it himself, which made him look generous and funny. Soon, netizens commented, "When You Ge sits with our little darling, his face looks even more like a coffin!"

This comment was quickly voted as the most popular comment, Liam Qian rolled his eyes in anger. Alex Chu couldn't help but laugh, and comforted him while laughing: "They are just joking, they are not alike at all."

Jason Zhong leaned over Alex Chu's shoulder and glanced at his phone: "This topic is quite interesting, why not make it a hot topic?"

Is hyping up the coffin face popular? Liam Qian was stunned by Mr. Zhong's earth-shattering marketing strategy.

"Stop it, hahahaha!" Alex Chu thought Jason Zhong was telling a joke and laughed even harder, "Hahaha, ouch, my ribs."

Jason Zhong quickly hugged him and told him not to move around and hurt his bones. Alex Chu simply leaned on him and laughed until he was shaking. Liam Qian, who was even more upset, angrily ate five beef balls.

Before he got home in the evening, Teacher Liam sent him the outline of the script. Alex Chu took a look at it and had to admire Teacher Liam's talent. Not only did he reduce the number of games that involved strenuous exercise, but he also let him rest as much as possible through interesting role-playing. Alex Chu called Teacher Liam back as soon as he got home.

"Your idea is really great. I'll discuss the details with you tomorrow." Alex Chu held the printed script and stood on the balcony looking at the billboard across the street.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Teacher Liam agreed readily.

After hanging up the phone, Alex Chu was already staring at the billboard in a daze. On the advertisement was Muchen in a suit, and the huge electronic screen covered half of the building, which was particularly conspicuous in the city at night.

"Who is that man?" Jason Zhong floated over, hugged him from behind, and sounded a little unhappy.

"Mu Chen is an award-winning actor." Alex Chu tilted his neck back and leaned lazily on Jason Zhong.

The sour bubble that had been rising because Alex Chu was staring at the photo of a strange man in a daze was instantly popped by this action. Jason Zhong stood up happily and looked at the man opposite with him. Well, his eyebrows were deep, his facial features were distinct, and he looked okay.

"I haven't seen Muchen for a while," Alex Chu said to himself, "I was thinking, I'm going to record a show with Muchen this week... Oh, what time is it?"

Alex Chu suddenly remembered something else when he was talking. He looked down at his phone. It was already 8:30 in the evening. It would be difficult to call anyone later. After sending Jason Zhong to take a shower, Alex Chu sat down on the swing chair on the balcony and dialed an unfamiliar number.

The sour bubbles in Jason Zhong's heart began to bubble up again. He squatted at Alex Chu's feet and refused to leave, determined to eavesdrop on the call.

Alex Chu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How could he eavesdrop so openly? Just as he was about to coax him to leave, the phone call was already connected.

"Hello, who is this?" A deep and attractive male voice came from the other end of the phone. Jason Zhong widened his eyes. She was really calling a strange man!

"Mr. Zhong, I'm Alex Chu." Alex Chu dodged the hand that was trying to grab the phone.

Jason Zhong was a little confused when he heard the familiar voice on the other end of the phone. When he heard the address of "Mr. Zhong", he frowned and mouthed to Alex Chu: "Why are you calling my brother?"

Alex Chu mouthed to him: "Complain!" Then he pointed to a small stool three steps away from his feet, motioning Jason Zhong to stay aside.

Jason Zhong stood up obediently, and Alex Chu ignored him and focused on talking to the eldest brother of the Zhong family. He first gave a general account of Jason Zhong's condition in the past few days, and then asked about his condition.

Zhong Jiabin said "wait a moment", as if to signal the others in the room to leave. After waiting for about five seconds, he spoke again: "The doctor's conclusion is that the memory area is slightly damaged. After testing, it will not affect future memory, but the previous memory is difficult to recover."

This is like a hard drive that is forced to clear its contents, but the operating system is normal, so it does not affect future use, only the files on it disappear. As for why I can still remember Alex Chu...

"It's probably an emergency backup or a backup was made in another memory area before." The eldest brother of the Zhong family repeated the doctor's words verbatim, without any emotional inclination, but it made Alex Chu's eyes red.

On the other end of the phone, Zhong Jiabin, who was still on a business trip, checked his schedule and said, "I'm going back this Friday, so why don't we meet? I'll give you the case, and you can take him for a follow-up checkup next week."

"That's great." Alex Chu was very grateful for the trust of the eldest brother of the Zhong family. He thanked him, arranged a time to meet, and then hung up the phone. He sniffed and turned around, and saw that Jason Zhong had moved a small stool to his feet at some point. The big one sat on the small apple-shaped wooden stool and looked at him without blinking.
