Chapter 148 Contributing to Society

When I was in kindergarten, it was a common sight to see rows of children bringing their chairs to bask in the sun.

But for adults, it is such a luxury to be able to doze lazily in the sun in winter like a cat.

What is lacking is not only time, but also mentality.

Lin Yuan took out a pair of Bluetooth headphones from his pocket, put them on, connected them to his phone, and turned on the music.

"Hello darkness, my old friend."

"I've come to talk with you again."

On such a sunny day, Lin Yuan listened to a lyrical and slightly sad song.

He had nothing to be sad about at the moment, and he didn't even care about the specific content of the lyrics. He just enjoyed the peaceful tune.

The tone caressed his eardrums like a hand gently patting his back.

. . .

Lin Yuan didn't know how long he slept until he was woken up by the sound of conversation. "The Sound of Silence" was still playing in his headphones.

Turning around following the sound, he saw Zhang Yan standing next to him, having just finished talking to someone.

"You're here too?" Lin Yuan stood up and stretched.

"Did I bother you? The waiter just came over and asked when the food would be served."

"No, I just slept for a short time."

"Not long?" Zhang Yan looked at him in surprise, "I've listened to several songs with you." As he said that, he pointed to a Bluetooth headset on her ear.

Lin Yuan then realized that the Bluetooth headset on one of his ears had been taken off by the other party.

"Has the song already been played?"

There were more than ten songs in the playlist he selected, and the first song was playing in his headphones at the moment. He thought he had just squinted his eyes.

"I like the songs you listen to, too."

"Nani?"

Zhang Yan hummed her favorite song "Scarborough Fair".

Zhang Yan hummed a few words before turning to Lin Yuan and angrily said, "Idiot, can't you play some accompaniment for me?"

"Oh." Lin Yuan did it quickly.

After becoming friends with Xia Ye, Lin Yuan warned himself not to pay attention to other girls out of exploratory interest, so his eyes did not fall on Zhang Yan who was humming a song.

But, but music is the most addictive potion besides drugs.

Lin Yuan unknowingly set his eyes on the other person.

The sun shines on her face, her hair is like the strings beating on her heart. Her intoxicated expression and ethereal voice convey the magic that makes people make mistakes.

At this moment, Lin Yuan understood that sentence more than ever before. It was a sentence from a certain celebrity - I made a mistake that all men in the world would make.

This sudden impulse that emerged from the bottom of his heart made him very panicked, "Stop singing." Lin Yuan made a prompt decision and pinched it off with his own hands.

"Huh? What's wrong? Doesn't it sound good?"

"Are you here to sing?" Lin Yuan asked coldly.

"If you don't want to sing, then don't sing." Zhang Yan sat down with a flat mouth after hearing Lin Yuan's slightly stiff tone. "It's inexplicable. He was so mean to me as soon as we met..."

Lin Yuan felt very sorry for the other person. After all, it wasn't the other person's fault that he was good-looking. It was his problem to stare at him.

But he didn't plan to apologize openly, because that would get him into an unclear situation. Being coy was never his style.

"Have you finished writing the report? I haven't seen you send it to me." Lin Yuan chose to talk about business, trying to use business to squeeze out the space for personal conversation.

"Who asked you to care?" Zhang Yan turned his head away angrily, too lazy to pay attention to Lin Yuan.

The fence that Lin Yuan erected between the two of them was easily broken down by Zhang Yan's words. Just this one sentence instantly brought the atmosphere of their chat back to that of a familiar private conversation.

"I don't care about you at all." Lin Yuan had a headache. How should he say it to keep a proper distance from the other party?

Soon, he gave up because he just couldn't think of anything.

In order not to appear too deliberate, and because being too restrained would make him feel uncomfortable, Lin Yuan simply chose the Taoist inaction - since I don't care, why should I mind?

"I'm sorry. I was a little grumpy just now." Lin Yuan still apologized for his behavior just now.

"Humph! You're so grumpy even after taking a nap? I came here happily to see you, but you gave me the cold shoulder..."

Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead and let the other party complain. But Zhang Yan did not continue.

She walked closer to Lin Yuan and leaned down slightly, "Is it because... stock trading is too exhausting and stressful?" Well, Lin Yuan never expected that the other party would ask such a question.

But it was understandable, after all, he had just asked the other party to borrow one million to invest in stocks.

Faced with Lin Yuan's sudden sour face, Zhang Yan subconsciously thought that the other party was under too much mental pressure due to stock trading, so he expressed his concern.

"well enough."

"Why do you have to do this? I know you have an annual salary of 80 yuan at the good group. Isn't that enough? How much more do you want?"

"Who would complain about having too much money?"

"You can't take anything with you when you die, so what good things are there? Just enough to spend will be enough." Zhang Yan said nonchalantly.

"Well said," Lin Yuan couldn't help but want to applaud her, "but there were too many times in my pale life when I didn't have enough money to spend. People who have been hungry will have inexplicable hunger programmed into their genes, and people who have been poor can't control their hands when they see money passing by." As Lin Yuan said this, he actually raised his right hand facing the sun.

Zhang Yan pushed him down and said, "Don't stretch your hand. A gentleman should get money in a proper way."

"I was very righteous this time. I didn't take money from anyone else."

"Then after you're done with this, can you please not do it next time?"

"Uh..." Lin Yuan thought for a moment, "I can't see any chance of curing my habit of collecting gold coins."

Zhang Yan immediately turned his head away and said, "You will have to go in sooner or later if you keep doing this."

Lin Yuan looked comfortable, crossed his legs and closed his eyes again.

After a while, "Hey, could you please stop being so careless?" In the end, Zhang Yan surrendered first.

"I'm taking a break from my busy life. Brother Zhang, why don't you sit with me? Oh, and how about we order a pot of tea? The big guys order their dishes, and we drink our tea."

"I only drink milk tea." Zhang Yan didn't understand Lin Yuan's hidden meaning.

Lin Yuan didn't believe that they really came here just to fish today.

"Junior sister, don't worry about me all the time. Don't worry, I'm as steady as an old dog. Even if your master fails, I won't fail either."

"What are you talking about? My master has fallen."

"Kidding."

"You're talking nonsense. I don't care about you anymore."

Lin Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, 'It would be better if you really just don't care'.

"How's the report going? Do you really not need me to take a look at it for you?"

"I submitted it a long time ago. I wanted to try it myself first, and then ask you to polish it if it didn't work. But my master praised me for my good writing after reading it."

"Oh? How is that good?"

"They said that what I wrote was well-reasoned and factual, and it was obvious that I had done serious field research..."

Pfft~~, Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing. Because this so-called field research was clearly done by Lin Yuan. With his working experience as a delivery man, Lin Yuan knows the delivery business very well. Zhang Yan, a young man who doesn't even know the rent in Zijin City, knows nothing about field research.

"What are you laughing at? You are the only one who can do this."

"Have you finished the homework assigned by Senior Brother?"

"What homework?" Zhang Yan looked innocent.

"Then it must have been done."

Zhang Yan recalled for a moment and then remembered, "You asked me to research the salary situation of software engineers?"

"That's right. Researching the salary distribution of software engineers. It can be considered a social survey."

This is what contribution to society is.

People like Zhang Yan are the future successors. Lin Yuan is training future successors. Let the future successors be more down-to-earth, this is the greatest contribution to society.

"Are you really going to do it?"

"Do you admire your senior brother?"

"Yeah." Zhang Yan immediately had a starry-eyed expression.

"Do you want to be as good as your brother?"

"Hmm."

"Isn't this what I'm teaching you, brother?"
