Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

"Friend, have you ever seen a snowy mountain?"

Someone next to him asked this.

As he was bored and had some time to kill, Chi Yu shifted his gaze away from the billboard covered with advertisements at the side of the alley and paid some attention to the person who was speaking.

Under Chi Yu's silent gaze, the other party repeated the original question and then explained to him:

"We have planned a long-term trip from Beijing to Tibet, visiting all the scenic spots along the way. We are now looking for like-minded friends to travel with us - most of them are college students, of course there are also people who are already working. We will share the expenses, take the train, change to the bus in the middle, then rent a car, and finally hike to find those natural scenery."

This itinerary sounds very troublesome. In addition, there will probably be quite a lot of people participating in the trip, and it will be difficult to manage the complicated personnel. It would be better to travel alone and it would be easier.

Chi Yu thought about what the young man said and asked him, "What's the point of doing this?"

The man smiled and said, "We live in the city. There have been too many changes over the years. Some people have spent too much energy just to keep up with the pace. They want to find a slow-paced place to relax. Some people just want to take this opportunity to see the scenery they have never seen before... Everyone has different reasons, but the common goal brings us together and makes us no longer an island in the crowd. This is the meaning."

This person has a good eloquence, no wonder he is responsible for sales and attracting people.

Chi Yu nodded: "I have no intention of participating."

The expression on the other person's face fell: "I thought you knew so much about me, you were interested in participating."

As he spoke, the young man sighed, then quickly regained his spirits and gestured to Chi Yu.

"It doesn't matter if you're not interested now, my friend. Our hostel is in this alley next to us. You can see the sign when you go in. If you suddenly have an idea one day, you can also come and have a look. We basically organize a large-scale event every few months, and friends who want to join are always welcome."

Someone was walking towards us from the other side of the alley. He was carrying a bulging bag and was dressed in black. He was eye-catching, yet he seemed like he could blend in with the crowd at any time.

The young man looked at the man's behavior and couldn't help but become alert, but he found that the other party didn't even look at him, but just passed him and stood next to Chi Yu.

"What are you talking about?" the man wearing sunglasses asked in a light tone.

"About traveling." said Chi Yu.

"Travel?" The man with black glasses touched his chin. "Where do you want to go? If you're not in a hurry, how about I wait until my work over there is finished and come back to accompany you?"

"I don't have any place I want to go. This kind of thing depends on my mood."

The young man was not in a hurry to leave. He listened for a while. He looked back and forth at the two of them and confirmed with Chi Yu: "Is this your friend? Are you staying here to wait for him?"

Chi Yu glanced at him: "Yeah."

The man with black glasses laughed beside him: "He's worried that I'm a human trafficker."

So Chi Yu replied to him seriously: "I will call the police to arrest you."

The man with black glasses smiled and shook his head, then looked at the young man: "Okay now, you know our relationship, you can leave now, right?"

The young man was extremely embarrassed when his bad guess was exposed by the person involved. He quickly waved his hand at them and ran into the alley as if escaping. It seemed that he was not willing to come out for a while.

Since Black Glasses had already got the equipment he needed, there was no need for them to stay here any longer. Chi Yu put this little episode behind him and walked towards the parking lot with Black Glasses.

"When to set off?"

"They are in a hurry over there, just leave after you deliver it."

Black Glasses said as he caught the car keys thrown by Chi Yu, bent down and sat in the driver's seat. While starting the car, he teased Chi Yu, "Boss Chi, are you asking this because you can't bear to part with me?"

Hearing this, Chi Yu chuckled in his heart, wondering where this guy got his confidence from.

"You asked me to borrow my car, so I have to get a specific time." Chi Yu said expressionlessly. He looked at the changing scenery outside the car window, thought for a while, and asked the man with black glasses, "But it's troublesome to drive back and forth all the time. Why don't you consider getting yourself a convenient identity?"

"Well... maybe not." said the man with black glasses.

Chi Yu and the man with black glasses in the rearview mirror looked at each other for a while, and the other party looked away first.

The man with black glasses took a deep breath, rummaged in his pocket, and picked up a cigarette.

"As for me, I am not only an illegal resident, but the wanted order has not been withdrawn. I can't hide it from the eyes of those people just because I have a fake ID. They are very smart." He said, "So now I can only live like this. I'm used to it. It's actually quite interesting."

Chi Yu did not comment on this.

The car stopped for a while downstairs of the company. When Chi Yu got out of the car, the man with black glasses just lowered the passenger window.

"Well, my job as a driver has been successfully completed. Boss Chi, see you later."

Chi Yu responded casually, looking at the unlit cigarette in the mouth of the man with black glasses, and added: "Don't smoke in my car."

The man with black glasses smiled and said, "It won't dirty your car."

So they parted here, and when Chi Yu walked into the office, the assistant had been waiting at his workstation for a long time.

"Boss, the documents that need your review and approval are all on the table, and they have been categorized according to your habits." The assistant said, "You have a business banquet hosted by Hongyang Group tonight and you need to attend. Your dress is hung in the lounge and has been ironed."

"Got it." Chi Yu said, "Go pick up a car. I'll drive the company car."

The assistant responded and turned to leave the office.

Chi Yu sat at his desk, thinking about his next schedule.

No matter what form the banquet is, it is equally boring in Chi Yu's eyes, but this is also part of the job, so as long as he can get the resources he wants from it, he will still choose to attend.

"Hey, Mr. Chi, long time no see!" Someone suddenly appeared from somewhere in the banquet and greeted Chi Yu with a smile.

Chi Yu nodded to him and pulled out the other party's identity information from his memory. He remembered that the man's surname was Zhao and he was the owner of a distribution company. He had had a short-term cooperation with his company before. He was enthusiastic and enterprising, and now his business was getting bigger and bigger.

Boss Zhao chatted with him briefly, inquired about the recent situation of Chi Yu's company, and talked about the situation of his own company. Then he said bluntly: "Boss Chi, I heard that your company has recently developed a batch of new products and plans to launch them on the market. How about considering me, your brother?"

It turned out to be this.

Chi Yu smiled at Boss Zhao and said, "Those products are still in the testing phase and have not yet reached the standards for being put on the market. It's a bit early to talk about this now."

"Boss Chi, I have always trusted your company's quality control. The long testing cycle is not a problem. We can't wait until the product is about to leave the factory before thinking about looking for the next buyer, right? It's not a bad thing to make plans early."

Boss Zhao said something persuasive, and then seemed to think of something, and said to Chi Yu: "And now it's not just me who is paying attention to your movements. In addition to Mr. Sun and Mr. Yang, even overseas agents are interested in you."

"Overseas agent?" Chi Yu asked back.

He didn't let anyone spread the news so far, so where did this overseas agent come from?

Boss Zhao didn't know what Chi Yu was thinking. He nodded to him, pointed to someone quietly, and whispered, "Yes, the agent from Hong Kong. I heard his last name is Zhang. He seems to be a nice person, but we just had a casual chat."

"That guy just asked me to help him set up a match for you guys. I just happened to want to talk to you about this, so I accepted the job. Mr. Chi, what do you think? If you don't have this idea, I will decline it for you later."

Chi Yu followed Boss Zhao's instructions and found the so-called agent. His eyes stayed on the other person's face for a moment, and then quickly moved away before the other person noticed, lowering his eyes and thinking about something.

This person gave him a sense of déjà vu, but Chi Yu searched his memory and was sure that he had never met him before, not even by chance.

Most of the time, correctly identifying a person basically relies on certain characteristics in them, but if that person does not have any outstanding characteristics, it is easy to be forgotten.

But Boss Zhang did not meet this standard. He looked very young and his appearance was so handsome that most of the guests present would feel ashamed of themselves. Moreover, he possessed a not-so-common trait.

——There is a teardrop mole under the left corner of Boss Zhang’s eye.
