Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 9: Noble in front of others, but behind others...

It was just after 12pm.

"Dingling, ringing, ringing..."

The vibration of the cell phone woke up Xu Ruochu, who was just about to fall asleep after crying and breaking down several times.

When she saw the caller, she instinctively shuddered...

"Hey?"

"Sister! Our dad has high blood pressure and is being taken to the hospital. Come quickly!"

"!!!Which hospital? Send me the address and I'll be there right away!"

Xu Ruochu jumped up from the bed in an instant, not even bothering to put on her shoes and ran out. But as soon as she took one step...

Suddenly, the whole world started spinning.

……

"...?"

On the electric bike, Lu Yao looked at the phone number on his mobile phone and stopped the car in confusion:

"Hey?"

"Lu Yao..."

Xu Ruochu's voice was extremely low:

"Come pick me up..."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly:
"Ms. Xu, I'm at work."

"Come pick me up... I'll... give you money... quickly... my dad... doesn't feel well..."

"almost there."

Lu Yao rode straight towards the Oriental Pearl Tower not far away without saying a word.

Ten minutes later, at the entrance of Fortune Garden.

"...Hey...are you...here?"

"Here we are, right at the door. Where are you?"

"You... come to the basement... I'm... next to the car... huh... huh..."

"Okay, I understand."

Lu Yao hung up the phone and said to the security guard:
"Did you hear that? I went straight down."

"Our people are with you."

Hearing the security guard's words, Lu Yao nodded:

"it is good."

As he said that, he got on his electric bike and rode into the basement through the entrance.

The security guard was speechless. He quickly used the intercom to call his companion to replace him, and then trotted into the basement.

Lu Yao didn’t know the other party’s parking space, but he knew it.

"Miss Xu."

"Miss Xu, where are you?"

"This way, you're running the wrong way!"

Finally, under the guidance of the security guard, Lu Yao saw the SLK and Xu Ruochu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looking weak and pitiful.

Lu Yao didn't waste any time. He directly opened the trunk and put the electric car in it. After nodding to the security guard, he sat in the main driver's seat.

While adjusting the seat, he turned his head to look at Xu Ruochu, who was pinching his nose with a look of pain in his eyes, and asked directly:

"address."

"9900."

Xu Ruochu handed over his cell phone.

After Lu Yao entered the password and opened it, he saw an address.

Ruijin Hospital, a little far away...

He didn't hesitate, just put the car in gear and drove on, then said:

"Safe driving..."

Just as he was about to talk about the fee standards, Xu Ruochu suddenly interrupted him:

"Full-time driver, 1,000 a day, on call. Calculation starts today."

"no problem!"

Lu Yao agreed without hesitation.

Goodbye, safe driving.

……

In front of Ruijin Hospital.

Lu Yao pushed Xu Ruochu:

"Boss Xu, we're here."

"..."

Xu Ruochu opened his bloodshot eyes, nodded and was about to get out of the car.

Lu Yao asked:
"Do you need me to go up with you?"

"…No need. It's easy to cause misunderstanding. I'm much better now."

As she spoke, she opened the car door and was slightly shaky when she first stood up, but after taking a few steps, her back gradually straightened.

Lu Yao noticed the change in pace and posture and nodded silently in his heart.

The rich woman’s back is still quite murderous.

Then he got out of the car, found a trash can in the corner of the hospital parking lot, and lit a cigarette.

One thousand yuan a day is a very high salary.

He is actually in a rather embarrassing situation now.

Neither high nor low can be achieved.

Chip research is a big deal, but big things don’t make money.

Lu Yao never thought about making money...

Maybe it’s because of his personal thoughts, when the money is with him, his biggest concern is to make his family live a better life.

Even after being reborn, this idea has not changed.

By the same token, this is also the reason why I chose to embark on the path of chip research after my rebirth.

It’s hard to say for people outside the industry, but within the industry, he can foresee the future. At least for a few years. With this foresight, Lu Yao doesn’t know what others will do.

He had also read posts posted by others before, such as “If I could be reborn again” and so on.

In the posts, he found that most people's attitude towards rebirth was to make up for some past regrets. However, Lu Yao reflected on himself and found that he actually had no "personal" regrets.

Because before her rebirth, her sister had a happy marriage and her parents were in good health.

Although the Lu family is not wealthy, they are a happy family. He feels that this alone makes them better than many people.

And his "regrets" are actually all in his work.

His grandfather once taught him that a country comes first, then a family.

Lu Yao himself feels honored to be able to devote himself to the national chip industry.

This is also the reason why he still unswervingly chooses to follow the "old path" after his rebirth.

Just as he said to Xu Ruochu.

Because my country needs me.

There are good people and bad people in my "family". But as a member of the family, no matter there are more good people or bad people around him, it does not prevent him from becoming a wedge to protect this "family" from wind and rain.

And now that I've been reborn...

He will definitely be able to walk a few steps, or even many steps, faster than others.

For a small family, make some money and be content with a small fortune.

Because he has not yet entered the "big family".

If he wanted to make money, he had to take advantage of his rebirth. The simplest and most brutal way was to buy lottery tickets... Unfortunately, he didn't know the numbers.

In fact, if you just put yourself in their shoes, you will know... Even if an ordinary person is really reborn, if he doesn't make some preparations before, he will feel clueless after his rebirth.

Even if you know that some industries or software will make you rich overnight in the future...but the problem is that everything has a process from 0 to 1, right?

Except for lottery, all other things that can make people rich overnight are written into the criminal law.

It would be impossible for ordinary people not to make some preparations in this regard.

Therefore, the most direct, simple and crude path before him was to learn JAVA programming and develop some software that became famous in later generations...but that also required time and cost investment.

It doesn't mean that you start with a computer and everything else depends on the keyboard.

The design of a software, whether it is from the logical architecture, code, or front-end, back-end... is not something that can be completed by one person in a short period of time.

This is a process.

But...I have only been reborn for 5 days.

There are two days for the college entrance examination, one day for relaxation, one day for planning, and the last day... which is today, he has finally sorted out his thoughts.

Now the choice before him... the rich woman gives him one thousand a day...

Although I don't know how many days I will be hired, I will definitely earn more than a designated driver.

……

Lu Yao finished two cigarettes.

The phone started ringing.

As soon as he saw it, he quickly answered:
'Hello, Mr. Xu.'

"Where are you?"

"here."

After putting out the cigarette, he looked at Xu Ruochu who was standing by the car holding a cell phone and waved.

After walking over quickly, he took the initiative to help Xu Ruochu open the car door.

Then he sat directly in the driver's seat.

"where are we going?"

"……go home."

Hearing this, Lu Yao glanced at her face.

Seeing that Xu Ruochu's face now looked relieved compared to the heavy mood she had felt the last time, she thought that her old man should be fine.

So he drove the car directly out of the basement.

As the car drove out of the basement, his phone rang again.

Lu Yao didn't even look at it. He just put his hand in his pocket and turned off the volume of the phone.

But this is where Huawei smartphones are not user-friendly.

You turned off the volume, but you couldn't turn off the vibration.

Along the way, at two traffic lights, Xu Ruochu listened to the constant vibration of his phone and said:
"girlfriend?"

“I’m single, Mr. Xu.”

"Then why didn't you answer it?"

“Because I’m working now.”

"It's okay, just answer it, maybe it's something urgent."

"Okay. Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Lu Yao thanked him politely and then answered the phone.

The car just came to the traffic light.

Mercedes-Benz has very good sound insulation, but Huawei's microphone is very noisy.

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Handsome guy~~~~We need a designated driver~~~~Hahaha~Come quickly~My friend wants a man to warm her up...Hahahaha..."

Even without turning on the hands-free mode, Xu Ruochu could hear the noise clearly, which was mixed with a hint of lewdness.

"Sorry, you dialed the wrong number."

Lu Yao hung up the phone directly.

Then he adjusted the phone to completely silent mode and put it back in his pocket.

There's nothing embarrassing.

At least that’s what Lu Yao thought.

Green light.

The vehicle continued to move forward.

Xu Ruochu did not say anything, but just leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes silently, and rubbed his temples.

Soon, the Fortune Garden arrived.

Lu Yao was going to stop at the door, but Xu Ruochu said directly:

"Drive in, follow me up. You don't have to leave tonight... just stay at my place. We have to be at the crematorium before 7 o'clock tomorrow."

"Ok."

There was no emotion between men and women involved. As a driver, Lu Yao agreed readily after hearing the boss's arrangement.

Although he was a little surprised why the other party had such high trust in him.

but……

"Boss Xu, as for salary..."

Hearing Lu Yao's words, Xu Ruochu opened his eyes and glanced at him...

Opened the storage compartment.

Inside was an envelope.

"There's ten thousand in here."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Lu Yao took it without hesitation, but the moment he held the money, the envelope moved away.

Xu Ruochu looked at Lu Yao and said:
"After receiving the money, will the name change again?"

"..."

Lu Yao thought to himself that you are really a vengeful person.

But he still shook his head:
"Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I still have some professional ethics."

Ten thousand yuan, got it.

……

"..."

When the luxurious security door was opened, Lu Yao looked at everything in front of him and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Is this... a doghouse?
It's extremely messy.

Various shoes were lying around the door, and randomly discarded shoes, hats, and clothes could be seen everywhere in the living room.

The originally large and well-decorated house was filled with magazines and books, and the coffee table was piled with cosmetics and beverage bottles...

He even saw the facial mask hanging on the trash can, the obviously shriveled fruit basket on the open kitchen counter, and several tilted red wine bottles.

There was a half-yellowed facial mask hanging on the red wine bottle...

You really are so noble in front of others but a coward behind others...

Lu Yao was completely speechless.

Xu Ruochu glanced at him and seemed to think it was inappropriate...but since he had seen it, he just saw it.

She said tiredly:

"The last cleaner stole something, so I fired her. I'm still looking for a new one...so it's a bit messy. Just find a room. Every room has a bathroom. Go to bed early, and remember to call me tomorrow."

"..."

Lu Yao looked at her shoulders that had completely slumped down and nodded:

"Okay, Mr. Xu."

……

In the end, Lu Yao did not enter any guest bedroom, but came to the smallest nanny room with only a one-meter single bed.

He touched the mattress and nodded slightly.

It’s much more comfortable than the sofa bed at home.

After closing the door to ensure the boss's privacy to the greatest extent, he took a look in the bathroom, found that all toiletries were available, and walked in directly.

The sound of rushing water sounded.

"Pfft..."

"..."

After taking a shower, Lu Yao, who was a little thirsty, was about to go to the refrigerator to get a bottle of water to drink.

But I wasn't paying attention and stepped on half an orange that had fallen on the floor in the kitchen...

He was completely speechless.

In his previous life, when he was watching TIKTOK, he would occasionally see landlords who had rented their houses to some anchors or beautiful female tenants. When they came to collect the houses, they would open the door to see piles of garbage. He thought it was a bit exaggerated.

But half an orange helped him face the reality.

It really is true that:

"You never know what dirty and filthy things the person who looks so righteous and glamorous in front of you has done behind the scenes."

He opened the refrigerator and saw that there was nothing inside except water, wine, and some "mosaics" in plastic bags... Lu Yao silently took out the water, drank half a bottle in one breath, and suddenly sighed.

"Ugh……"

Just think of it as... a good deed.

This doghouse...is really uninhabitable.

He was afraid that cockroaches would crawl into his ears when he slept.

Shaking his head, he picked up the rubber gloves by the sink.
