"What were you staring at that guest for? Were you really smitten?"
"No way, I was scrolling through Weishi and saw a video where the person looked just like him." That was the young woman's voice.
"Which one? Let me see."
"That's it."
Then came the sound of the video playing, and Gao Ang felt that the scenes in the video were somewhat familiar.
The screams, the screech of brakes.
Holy crap, isn't this exactly what happened in the subway horror movie yesterday?
The question is, what does this have to do with me?
Holding a spoon and scooping food out of the container, Gao Ang was eager to know what the video was about.
"Wow, this person is amazing! How can they stand still like that?" This was another young lady's exclamation.
"Doesn't he look a lot like that bald customer inside?"
"Go back, let me take another look."
Then came the sound of the video replaying.
"You know what, it really does look like him. You can't tell the height, but with that bald head and profile, it might actually be him."
"When you go in to collect the plates later, pay attention and take a good look at his profile."
By this time, Gao Ang had finally figured out the whole story.
Maybe it was during the subway's sudden braking yesterday that he made a "thousand-pound drop," which was captured by someone or the subway's surveillance video and then posted on Weibo by a busybody.
He took out his phone, downloaded Weishi (a short video platform), and wanted to see how he would perform in the video.
He doesn't use Weishi much, mainly because the videos on it are too good.
He watched it for an hour and it was over, just like TikTok, which he didn't really like.
Fortunately, the video they were talking about was so popular that I saw it on the homepage as soon as I logged into the app.
The headline is very eye-catching: A mysterious bald man appears on Shanghai Metro Line 2, holding a heavy weight in one hand and remaining unmoved during a subway accident.
It has the right location, the right buzz, and the right viral moments; no wonder it made it to the top of Weishi's headlines.
The subway accident yesterday is still a hot topic. In peacetime, such a news story is quite a big deal.
Judging from the video content, the person filming the video must have been watching him the whole time, and the clip shouldn't be this short.
The video begins with Gao Gao looking down at his phone, accompanied by the romantic song "Confession Balloon".
In the middle section, Gao Feng turns around and is about to leave, which means they are almost at their stop. The voiceover is "Unfortunately, It's Not You".
When the accident finally occurred, the music immediately changed to "The Little Knife Society Overture". Especially when the train braked suddenly, Gao Ang was perfectly integrated with the train, firmly attached to the train body, and his whole body was almost bent at 180 degrees.
"Tsk tsk tsk, not bad at all."
He smacked his lips twice and was about to turn off the video.
"What are you looking at? Let me see."
Du Yibing, who was standing nearby, curiously leaned over and snatched the phone away when he tried to put it away.
Given Gao's current reaction speed, he is fully capable of escaping this robbery.
But who is Du Yibing? She's his senior sister, someone he's quite close to. Besides, she's in this remote, impoverished place, busy with her own affairs.
Besides, in order to maintain a low profile and appear as normal as possible, he couldn't hide.
"Hey, isn't this you?"
Du Yibing immediately recognized that the bald man in the video was his junior brother.
"Wow, that's pretty good! Look what people are saying: 'Handsome, skilled, and strong-looking, I wish he were my boyfriend,' hahaha..."
Du Yibing was so amused by just one comment that he almost dropped his phone.
"Mr. Lei, take a look. This is your future top shareholder. He's incredibly skilled."
Not content with watching it alone, Du Yibing also handed his phone to Lei Keming.
"Mr. Gao, you've practiced before? You're a master."
After watching the video, Lei Keming respectfully clasped his hands together and jokingly performed a traditional martial arts greeting.
Gao Ang waved his hand with a wry smile, "What expert? He was just lucky. Otherwise, he would have been thrown face-first into the dirt."
Judging from the expressions of the waitress, the senior female student, and Lei Keming, he roughly knew how much the video had impacted them.
The young lady probably hasn't seen much of the world, which is why she seemed so surprised.
Many viewers on platforms like Weishi and Douyin are like this: to put it bluntly, they haven't seen much of the world, so they often use exaggerated methods to share and promote what they see.
But the senior sister and Lei Keming are different; they are both big bosses of the company and are self-made elites.
What amazes ordinary people is just a little spice to their mundane lives.
Just like a gentle breeze occasionally blowing across a calm lake, the surface may ripple slightly, but it will eventually return to its previous calm.
Moreover, their vision and knowledge far surpass those of ordinary people. Let alone Gao Anglu's "Thousand-Pound Drop" move, even if someone were to uproot a willow tree in front of them, they probably wouldn't be too surprised.
So their reaction upon seeing the video was that it was funny.
Because the people in the video are right next to them, and they are close friends or business partners.
The seemingly surprised but actually calm reactions of these two people actually calmed Gao Feng's originally turbulent heart.
As long as these elites can accept the video content, his abnormality will not be discovered, and the privacy of his superpowers can continue to be kept secret.
As for the onlookers who were just watching the spectacle, they'll probably forget about it completely in a few days.
The internet is never short of interesting things, so what's so special about this?
"Is this video from yesterday's accident on Line 2?"
After laughing for a while, Du Yibing realized what was happening and asked a question with a frown.
"Yeah, I was on the subway at the time, and it scared me to death."
Gao Ang patted his chest, pretending to be still shaken, as if he were genuinely afraid.
"The cause of this matter is very simple; it was caused by that 'Zhen Paopao who will return to China next week' incident."
"What does this have to do with him? One is in China, and the other is abroad. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other."
"If I'm not mistaken, this victim should be one of TS Group's suppliers, right?"
Lei Keming stroked the lighter in his hand and said something indifferently.
"That's right, Mr. Lei is indeed very knowledgeable. When TS Group went bankrupt, Zhen Feitian ran away cleanly, leaving all the debts to the shareholders of the listed company, and went abroad to live a carefree life, leaving such a mess in China. That poor man had no way to collect the debts, so he had no choice but to write a will and take such a fierce way to accuse Zhen Paopao of his shameless behavior."
Du Yibing also obtained the information from her friend, so she didn't need to worry about the confidentiality of the information.
These people are all senior executives of the company; they wouldn't go around spreading rumors.
“For Zhen Feitian, a million or so might be nothing, but for some lower- and middle-level suppliers, that money is their lifeline.”
Lei Keming worked his way up from the bottom, while Hanwei New Materials could be considered both a supplier and a recipient of supplies, which is why he felt so emotional.
"But Mr. Gao, you can rest assured that our company is a conscientious enterprise. We never delay payments. Even though the situation is not optimistic this year, we still pay subsidies to our workers out of our own pockets. It's not easy for anyone."
With these words, Gao Ang's attitude towards Lei Keming improved considerably.
I admire Comrade Lei Keming for not being completely defeated by the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism and for being able to stand firmly on the side of the working class and not forget to safeguard the interests of the working class.
Unlike some people and companies that start to exploit their employees as soon as they have money, making them work like donkeys without giving them any benefits, and then claiming that "996 is a blessing," why don't you and your whole family go and receive blessings?
After finishing the dessert, everyone decided to leave and rest.
Before parting, Gao Ang pulled Lei Keming aside and whispered a few words to him, which made Lei Keming nod in agreement. "No problem, no problem, we welcome Mr. Gao to visit and guide our work anytime."
After they got into the car and drove away, Du Yibing walked over gracefully and asked, "You're a law student, and you're interested in polymer materials?"
"I wouldn't say I'm interested, I just want to communicate with them."
"You?" Du Yibing looked Gao Feng up and down a few times and sneered, "Come on, don't lead him astray."
"Senior, that's a hurtful thing to say. It's true I'm a law student, but haven't you heard the saying, 'Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see clearly'? Maybe it's because of my accidental success as an outsider that their company has become so successful?"
“Yes,” Du Yibing nodded in deep agreement, then said, “Very likely.”
"Right, that's what I think too." Gao Ang thought he had convinced his senior sister, and suddenly became a little smug.
"It's getting dark, go wash up and go to bed."
"..."
As soon as Gao Ang returned to his hotel room, he received a video call from his mother.
"Is that bald guy in the video you?" That was the first question, so direct.
"Uh, which video?" Gao Ang began to play dumb.
"Don't interrupt me, it's that guy on Weishi and Toutiao, the tall guy, the bald guy, the one who fell flat on his face."
"Mom, where did you get bitten? You're standing perfectly still!"
I'm speechless. Is there something wrong with my mom's eyesight?
"And another thing, even if it were me, shouldn't you at least show some concern for me first? Why did you start by criticizing me?" Gao Ang deliberately adopted a wronged tone as he said this.
"If you can answer the phone, it means you're okay. Don't change the subject. Let me ask you, how did you end up bald? Aren't you afraid your grandpa will beat you up?"
My mom waved impatiently on the other end of the WeChat message, completely ignoring the high cost of safety, and started scolding the bald guy, even bringing up his maternal grandfather.
Gao Ang gets a headache whenever his maternal grandfather is mentioned.
Touching his bald head, he immediately recalled his second cousin's tragic experience.
