Chapter 97: Chapter 97 - New Discovery

The man stepped bare-footed onto the carpeted balcony and sat down without even putting on the slippers. His gaze swept lazily and unintentionally across the camera.
It was as if the man had appeared out of thin air. None of his information was available to the public, and he had not appeared in other means of mass media before. How could that be‽
“What‽ Then where does he stay‽”
“I’m sorry, but we don’t know…”
Noah Real Estate’s hotline was crowded; the studio’s hotline was crowded; even the internet was crowded. Less than ten minutes after Ye Shuang received the call from her mother, various HD screenshots started to leak through the internet. According to rumors, they were captured by users who logged onto Fang Mo’s company’s webpage. This meant that even Fang Fei who did not show up in the other two versions achieved some degree of fame.
This age was not lacking in handsome men and pretty women, but handsome until there was no blemish was pretty rare, especially since most celebrities achieved their brilliance from make-up and lighting. Ye Shuang’s male form carried with him a natural photoshop effect; even at close-range, one would not be able to spot a single flaw.
Lawyer Lin used his index finger to pull down the blinds to glance at the LED wall of a nearby building before turning back to look at Ye Shuang, who was surfing the net with a devastated expression. He thought about it and suggested, “How about you stay a night here with Brother Wong. I’ll return to the workshop in a bit.”
“Thanks, but I’ll figure out a solution.” Ye Shuang scratched her hair.
At that moment, her phone rang. When she answered it, the first thing she heard was Yao Zhixing’s wicked laughter. “Xiao Ye, you’re famous now! My little sister heard from my minions that they know me, so she came to me to ask you for a signed photograph.”
“You don’t have a car‽” Yao Zhixing gasped but then it dawned on him. “Then again, you don’t have a driving license, so it’s only natural that you don’t have a car.”
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Just how did this person manage to develop such an impressive driving skill without owning a car‽
Yao Zhixing drove over personally to give her a ride. Ye Shuang then asked for a pair of sunglasses and a cap from Brother Wong. Like a thief, she snuck out of the building, and after she climbed into the eye-grabbing race car’s backseat, she sighed in relief as she took the cap off.
Without turning back, Yao Zhixing threw her two driving licenses and a photograph. Then a pen landed on her lap. Yao Zhixing said, “The driving licenses and sign.”
Ye Shuang laughed bitterly, as she signed her name. “Where did you get this picture?”
“Why else but money, big brother?” Ye Shuang admitted with a shrug. “I just wanted to earn some money to pay for an apartment. Who would have thought it would lead to so many repercussions?”
Yao Zhixing was shocked. “With your driving skill, you’re still lacking money?”
Ye Shuang sighed. “Blame it on my youth…”
Before her DNA optimization, she had just been a normal office worker. How would she know about all these different channels and individuals? It was pure luck that she had saved Fang Mo, and from that man, Ye Shuang’s social circle had started to expand.
Then again, it was not that easy for her to earn money now. The races mentioned by Yao Zhixing were unrealistic. Ye Shuang did not have her own race car, so how was she going to enter those?
Entering a racing team was going the professional route. Ye Shuang had not trained as a racer before, so she did not think it would be suitable for her either. Thankfully, Yao Zhixing was just talking about it for fun; he did not intend to drag Ye Shuang into his racing team.
They soon left the parking lot. “When you’re free, get a car. It’ll be far more convenient, especially now. Nowadays, secondhand cars aren’t that expensive. In fact, there are a few of my racing buddies who deal in secondhand cars. The original price would be several hundred thousand, but they bought it for several ten thousand and then sell with an additional ten or twenty thousand. I’ll ask around. If there’s a good catch, I’ll inform you.”
“No money,” Ye Shuang said expressionlessly. “If it’s 3,000 or 4,000 then I might consider.”
“…Fine, I’ll help you ask around at a smaller car dealership,” Yao Zhixing promised with a difficult expression. Now it was Ye Shuang’s time to be embarrassed. Even a single part to Yao Zhixing’s car cost tens of thousands, but now he had to find a whole car for several thousand. If this carried back to the racers, Brother Yao would probably die from shame.
“Never mind, forget I said anything.” Ye Shuang sighed. “I’ll continue to save and get a good one in case I need to change it every few days.”
Yao Zhixing sighed surreptitiously before listing the names for the few car dealerships that he knew. “XX, YYY, ZZZ… when you’re on the market for a car, go to these places and drop my name. They will definitely give you a special discount.”
“Thank you.” Ye Shuang looked at her phone; a new message had arrived—’The mistress has been found, a new discovery.’
The mission had been given this afternoon, and the results had come back so soon‽
