Chapter 1 People in Memory

The summer in Beichuan City seems to be exceptionally hot, with the sun scorching the earth like fire.

Even at night, the air was still hot and muggy.

Lin Du rode his electric bike through the busy streets. This was his 107th takeaway order that day.

He was very happy, and he couldn't help but smile every time a deal was completed.

Lin Du was still preparing the last order of the day. He took off his helmet and his hair was already wet with sweat.

He smoothed his wet hair, took off the mask of his full armor, revealing a delicate little face.

He looked at his delivery ranking and was ranked first.

I put away my phone with satisfaction, temporarily relieving the fatigue in my body.

Although life is tiring, it is also fulfilling.

The meal was served, Lin Du stood up suddenly, feeling dizzy for a moment.

He leaned on the table and managed to stand, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Are you okay?" my colleague asked with concern.

Lin Du chuckled and shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"Do you really have to work so hard? You're always number one every day. Are you so short of money?"

Lin Du lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

I am really short of money, very short of it.

He would like to work 24 hours a day without sleep just to earn more money.

Standing firmly on his feet, Lin Du put on a mask and helmet and continued his work.

This restaurant was very remote and Lin Du had to search for a long time before he found it.

I took a look at the delivery address and it should be here.

He let out a long breath and could rest after delivering the meal.

His head now felt heavy and there was a constant squeaking in his ears.

He shook his head to relieve the discomfort in his ears. Just as he was about to turn, a stray cat suddenly jumped out. Lin Du had no time to dodge and crashed into a car on the side of the road.

He fell to the ground with the car hitting his legs. It took him a long time to get up.

He didn't know much about cars, but this car didn't look cheap, and this place looked like the kind where rich people lived.

He was extremely panicked and squatted in front of the car, looking at the damaged parts he had hit.

I slapped myself in frustration. It would be very expensive to repair such a good car. I was afraid that even a month's salary would not be enough to pay for it.

Lin Du forced himself to calm down when he was reminded that the meal was overdue.

He took out a pen and paper and left his phone number on it, fearing that the owner would not be able to find him when he returned.

Although I am poor, I will never avoid things when they happen.

The piece of paper got stuck in the car's windshield wiper and he suddenly felt powerless.

Some of the soup in the meal spilled out, but fortunately it was packaged tightly and did not affect the taste.

If the customer is dissatisfied, he is willing to pay for it, after all, it is his fault.

I was carrying the meal and just as I took a step, I felt the pain in my ankle.

I was hit by a car just now, and my ankle is a little swollen.

Unable to take care of so much, Lin Du could only drag his feet and move forward bit by bit.

After ringing the doorbell, Lin Du was ready to be scolded. After all, he waited so long for the meal to be spilled. Anyone would be unhappy.

The door opened, and a well-built man wearing a mask looked alert: "Give it to me."

Su Wenlang, a popular young actor.

Although he doesn't have much real ability, he can still be on the hot search list every now and then, and he can also get the works of various big directors.

Lin Du looked nervously at Su Wenlang in front of him. Even with a mask on, he could tell he was very handsome. "I'm sorry, I fell down just now, and some of the soup in the meal spilled out. If you're not satisfied, I can compensate you..."

"What are you doing? You can't even do such a simple thing. No wonder you can only be a delivery boy."

Facing Su Wenlang's accusations, Lin Du did not defend himself. This was indeed his own problem.

"What's going on?" A low, slightly clear and charming voice came.

Lin Du instinctively tensed his body and began to feel scared.

Why does this voice sound familiar? Could it be him?

That shouldn't be the case. Didn't he go abroad? Why is he in Beichuan?

I guess I'm just overthinking it.

Su Wenlang pointed at Lin Du in frustration and yelled, "You delivery guy, you're really annoying."

Lin Du apologized guiltily: "I'm really sorry. If you are not satisfied, can I pay you the money?"

"Do I need that little bit of money from you?" Su Wenlang threw the takeaway at Lin Du with disdain.

Lin Du hurriedly tried to catch it, but ended up spilling it all over himself.

The man inside walked over and leaned his tall figure against the door.

In the dim light, I couldn't see his face clearly.

But it is not difficult to see from his three-dimensional facial features that he is very outstanding.

He looked down at the arrogant Lin Du and said, "Why are you competing with him? I said I would take you out to eat, but you insisted on ordering takeout."

"You're bullying me too. I'm already in a bad mood." Su Wenlang pouted coquettishly. "Besides, don't I want to be alone with you?"

Su Wenlang held Gu Nienchi's hand, looking like he had been wronged.

Gu Yanchi, successor of Gu Group.

He is a gifted man with outstanding looks and a great figure, but his wealth and power are his least worthwhile assets.

Although he is young, he is a very influential figure in the business world. No woman has ever appeared by his side, and everyone thinks he is a very self-disciplined person.

Little did they know that he didn't like women at all.

Su Wenlang has been by his side for many years, and for his dream of becoming a star, he spared no expense to pave the way for him.

"Don't be angry, I'll have someone send some food over later."

Gu Zhi coaxed him with disgust, looking vaguely at the wolf-like man in front of him.

Is he shaking? He raised his mouth in disdain and snorted with contempt: "Are you not leaving yet?"

Lin Du came back to his senses, nodded, squatted down and cleaned up the food that spilled on the ground.

He didn't dare look up, afraid to see that familiar yet unfamiliar face.

"You have to give him a bad review and then call to complain about him! Get out of here!" Su Wenlang rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction. He couldn't stand this kind of inferior behavior.

Bad review, complaint.

Lin Du stood up in embarrassment, rubbing his hands: "Can you please not do it? I...I can really pay you back."

Gu Ni Chijian frowned and looked at the thin and small person in front of him through the dim light.

Why does this timid look and trembling voice look so much like a human?

"Pay your mother! Do you think everything will be alright if you pay the money?" Su Wenlang was furious. He pulled the mask to cover his face and slapped Lin Du directly in the face.

Lin Du's helmet was knocked off, and his beautiful eyes were filled with grievance: "You...how could you do this?"

Su Wenlang raised his eyebrows and sneered, showing his arrogance: "I am like this, if you don't agree, hit me! You stinky delivery man."

He ripped off Lin Du's mask and threw it on his face in disgust.

When Gu Lianchi saw Lin Du's face, he was shocked. This face matched the person in his memory.

He subconsciously wanted to catch Lin Du, but because of Su Wenlang, he held back.

No wonder the voice sounded so familiar, it was indeed him.

But why was he working as a delivery boy? Didn't he and his mother extort a large sum of money from his father? How did they spend it all so quickly?
