Resonance of Forgotten Futures Chapter 8

The car was driving very fast. The road was quite wide at night and the light from the street lamps on both sides only flashed by.

"Please be quicker."

The driver was a woman. She glanced at the customer behind her in the rearview mirror and stepped on the accelerator.

The loose hair on Lin Chi'ang's forehead was blown up by the wind outside the window, and his facial features were strong and three-dimensional.

His luck has been really bad recently. Even when his car was parked on the side of the road, it would be deflated. He had no choice but to take a taxi home.

The phone suddenly rang, and the person on the other end said that the culprit had been found through surveillance. Bryce Lin checked the time and said, "Just go and deal with it."

The moment the call ended, the last bar of battery in the phone was exhausted.

Bryce Lin curled his lips slightly and continued to focus on the night outside.

The car quickly reached its destination by accelerating.

After Bryce Lin paid the cash, he waited for a while. Seeing that the driver did not respond, his patience ran out. He tapped the door twice with his fingers: "Change."

The female driver turned her head in disbelief and repeated intermittently: "Do you want change?"

Bryce Lin frowned.

After a while, he got the money and left the car neatly.

When he walked a long way away, the female driver seemed to wake up from a dream. She quickly took out her phone and took a picture of his back and posted it on Weibo:

I was lucky enough to have Bryce Lin as my passenger. When we left, he gave me a hundred dollars, but he actually asked me to give him the change! ! ! !

Dog man, you have changed. (Manual dog head jg)

After posting, I even stopped working temporarily, parked the car on the side of the road, and waited for comments.

She often posts beautiful photos on Weibo, and has a lot of fans, some of whom call her the most beautiful female driver. Soon, many comments emerged.

[TaTa: It must be fake!]

[Real-life Slime: Someone took a photo of Lin's CEO during the day, and he seemed to be dressed similarly to the man in the photo.]

[Xingchenbaba: There is another watch of the same model, it is the same person, identification completed! ]

[Cats and Dogs: I feel sorry for the blogger! I just finished reading "Confessions" this afternoon. Jasper Chen complained that Bryce Lin never asked for change.]

[Deacon Sora: At this moment I just want to sing a song: The flowing water takes away the story of time and changes us...]

The comments that followed were almost all full of mocking laughter. The taxi driver looked up and sighed, thinking that he could make a small profit by picking up a big shot, but who knew that the other party would actually change his nature and start to value these small amounts of money.

It's been a bad year.

After Jasper Chen updated his post in the afternoon, everything was normal. There had been similar chapters before, but they did not cause much response. However, after the taxi driver posted on Weibo in the evening, Bryce Lin firmly ranked in the top three trending searches and could not be removed.

Chen Zan found out about all this the next morning. Bryce Lin was still on the hot search list. Every time when the popularity was about to fade, he would put on another alias and return to the top.

[System: You are awesome! ]

Jasper Chen is eating breakfast. His life has improved since the live broadcast. He has changed from eating white steamed buns to eating steak. Because he is too thin, he now prefers meat.

At this moment, the sound of the knife and fork sliding across the surface of the plate was particularly harsh.

[System: Please believe that I have no ill intentions. ]

Jasper Chen wrote the article completely according to the original owner's mental journey. The jealousy hidden in the memory was very ridiculous from the perspective of an outsider. After searching his memory, he did not feel how much emotion the male lead had for the female lead. Perhaps the original owner's psychology and spirit had already gone wrong, and Jiang Ying was just the outbreak point.

Halfway through breakfast, Dexter Yin suddenly came to the door.

Chen Zan looked at him carefully. On a normal working day, when most people work from nine to five, the other party had time to visit. Could he really be a vagrant?

Dexter Yin smiled as usual. Chen Zan's cell phone suddenly rang. He nodded and invited him in and then went to answer the call.

It was unknown what was said on the other end, but Jasper Chen always politely refused and the call ended quickly.

Dexter Yin vaguely caught a few words and asked in series: "Xiangxi asked you to live broadcast again?"

Chen Zan nodded: "I heard that Yuanrui has obtained the qualification of sponsor of Boyue Club, and Xiangxi is anxious."

Dexter Yin smiled and said, "This is a good opportunity to raise the price, why refuse it?"

Jasper Chen: "If Xiangxi is smart, it should find a way to get sponsorship after the live broadcast to improve its reputation. If it continues to follow the same path now, it will only be ridiculed for grandstanding."

Dexter Yin: "But it shouldn't affect your ability to get paid."

Chen Zan: "Too much is as bad as too little."

Dexter Yin looked at him with admiration: "You are very smart."

Chen Zan couldn't help but laugh at the tone of an adult praising a child, and asked him the purpose of his visit.

After Dexter Yin answered, Jasper Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Climbing a mountain?"

"The weather is very suitable recently." Dexter Yin found a place to sit down: "Tianyun Mountain has few days of clearing fog throughout the year, so it's only right to go during this time."

He wanted to refuse, but when he saw her arms were a little thin for a man, he took back his words and nodded: "It's good to exercise."

Tianyun Mountain gets its name because it gives people the illusion of being infinitely close to the sky.

This city attracts people from all over the world to settle down and work here with its crazy economic growth every year, but there are not many cultural relics to develop tourism. Fortunately, there are many tourists who come here to visit Tianyun Mountain.

There were very few people hiking up the mountain from the foot of the mountain. Most of them rented a car and started climbing halfway up the mountain. Chen Zan, wearing casual clothes, walked up silently without saying a word.

If it were anyone else, when they were alone with Dexter Yin, they would definitely find ways to find topics to liven up the atmosphere. However, someone like Chen Zan who was so focused on climbing could be considered an exception.

In the end, it was Dexter Yin who spoke first, asking an insignificant question: "Do you want to take a break?"

Jasper Chen remained silent purely to save energy. With his current physical condition, climbing to the top of the mountain without external help was a challenge. Looking at the unreachable top of the mountain, he nodded.

The two found a rock to lean on, and within five minutes, Jasper Chen stood up again: "Keep going, let's continue."

Dexter Yin was not tired himself, so he agreed.

Most people go through so much trouble just to get a glimpse of the mountain scenery. When they arrive, the sky is crystal blue with no clouds or fog blocking the view. One can clearly look down at the lush forests below the mountain, and the vast green ocean is reflected in their eyes.

When Chen Zan turned his head to talk to Dexter Yin, his eyes could not help but stay on him for a second longer. Light-colored clothes are very picky, and climbing a mountain is a hard task. The combination of the two did not damage the other person's original spirit.

Dexter Yin put his hands in his pockets, looked ahead, and glanced at the corner of his eye as he spoke: "Standing on the top of a mountain, it is easy to magnify certain emotions to the extreme."

Chen Zan did not comment: "What do you think?"

"It's lonely up there, how about you?"

"Business opportunity." Jasper Chen's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and the fatigue in his eyes instantly faded away: "Look at those people walking down the mountain. Their legs are shaking. I guess they can't even brake steadily."

Dexter Yin was slightly startled: "So?"

Jasper Chen: "They need a caring designated driver." Then he reached into his pocket and said, "I brought my driver's license with me when I went out."

...

Dexter Yin organized his words and was about to speak when Jasper Chen patted his shoulder first: "Let's make money together. Do you have your driver's license?"

Without waiting for an answer, Jasper Chen spoke again with a scrutinizing look: "Raise your chin, purse your lips, and glance to the left. Are you going to lie?"

...

No matter how strong his physical strength was, Dexter Yin's body was still shaking slightly after walking down the mountain on his own. Even though he had quite good endurance, what about Chen Zan?

However, I slightly side-eyed---

The dark eyes flashed green, like a wild wolf in a barren mountain. But the man was very calm, waiting in the parking lot to solicit customers calmly, and after a while he actually found a customer.

Chen Zan looked at Dexter Yin and said generously: "I'll give this order to you."

Dexter Yin, who had originally planned to ask the driver to pick him up after he drove away, had his smile froze slightly.

"Hurry up." The employer, who was waiting for someone to drive, urged impatiently.

Dexter Yin felt a little amused and helpless at the sight of Chen Zan's ungrateful gaze, and acted as a temporary driver.

It took five minutes for Jasper Chen to find the next customer.

I have been relying on the idea of   making money all the way.

Before the settlement, it was a small poplar standing tall in the wind, but after the receipt notification sound, Jasper Chen almost turned into a puddle of mud.

After driving the client to his destination, he chose to take the bus home to save money. After returning to the familiar environment, Jasper Chen didn't even change his shoes, but leaned against the wall to rest on the threshold.

"Between mountain climbing and the gym, I'll choose the latter next time." He muttered with his face up, wanting to drink some water but too lazy to get up to pour it. When his energy gradually recovered, he called Dexter Yin out of humanitarian principles: "Did you get home safely?"

Dexter Yin's voice was not very volatile: "It didn't last more than twelve hours this time."

Jasper Chen was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the content of their recent conversation. He got up and poured water while saying, "I'm afraid you'll be R@p3d while working as a designated driver."

Dexter Yin sighed: "I am very safe."

"Thank you for inviting me to go hiking today," Jasper Chen said politely, "Go to bed early."

The answer from the other end was also very common: "You too."

The call ended with the meaningless goodnights.

As a freelancer, Chen Zan slept without any burden until after ten o'clock the next day. In comparison, Dexter Yin only slept half the time.

The atmosphere in the company is slightly better than usual.

Yuanrui was just a new acquisition, and the benefits it generated were less than one percent of the company's revenue. However, since the last endorsement of 30 million yuan seemed to have been wasted, after getting the sponsorship, the sales department regained the situation and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While taking a break from work, the project manager pointed at the man parking downstairs and said, "The boss is here."

"Is it an illusion? I feel like the president's steps are a little tired today."

"He's not as energetic as before. Maybe he had S3x with his girlfriend last night."

"Judging from the way he walks, it's more likely to be his boyfriend."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The employee who expressed his opinion looked around guiltily to make sure no one else heard it.

After looking at each other, they suppressed the terrible thoughts and returned to work.

Dexter Yin paused as he passed by and asked them to bring over the documents that needed signatures. The project manager walked forward holding the documents and handed them over while pretending to be concerned: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Dexter Yin flipped through the contents of the document and said calmly, "For a deal of eighty yuan."
