Chapter 8: Jung Soo Yeon Giving Jessica A Tactical Lesson
As Lin Xiuyuan’s figure disappeared from sight, Krystal on the chair finally said softly, “Older sister, do you believe what this boy said?”
Facing this question, Jessica lowered her head and picked up that piece of paper that had turned somewhat yellow due to ‘age’, “The handwriting on this IOU is correct, the photo taken while writing it is also correct, and the time and place match up. The only problem now is that I forgot.”
If it were just an IOU, Jessica would still have some doubts.
But IOU plus the photo taken while writing the IOU, plus the information being correct, multiplied together, she already believed it ninety percent.
The remaining layer of doubt could only be explained by something ghostly.
Krystal nodded, agreeing with her view, “Yeah, actually these 20 million isn’t much, even if we really get scammed, it’s no big deal.”
“Right, what if it’s real? He’s just waiting for this to live his life.”
With a light chuckle, Jessica looked down at the IOU in her hand, memories in her mind starting to drift uncertainly, inevitably recalling some past events.
Krystal beside her noticed her contemplation and didn’t disturb her, lowering her head to drink coffee, waiting for the boy to return.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiuyuan in the restroom was just scolded by Jung Soo Yeon in the car because of the pattering sound, “Hey, can’t you tell me in advance before you go to the bathroom? You’re really not holding back.”
“Ah, sorry sorry.”
Lin Xiuyuan, not taking it seriously, casually brushed off the other party.
Hearing the tone, Jung Soo Yeon in the car outside rolled her eyes hard, muttering to herself: If it weren’t for that door, if it weren’t for the message from this time-space, she wouldn’t want to be anywhere near this guy no matter what.
Once or twice, it was driving her crazy.
But while thinking this in her heart, she curiously asked out loud, “By the way, just one evening, how did you age that note?”
“Isn’t it something anyone with hands can do?”
After making a small joke, Lin Xiuyuan noticed the breathing from the earphones getting heavier and quickly explained.
“Actually it’s very simple, just throw the note into a plate, brush on some coffee liquid, sprinkle some coffee grounds on top. Then put it into a preheated oven and bake for a few minutes, and you’ll immediately get the effect.”
The first thing Jung Soo Yeon said after hearing the answer was, “Lin Xiuyuan, what did you do before?”
“Ah? I was a student before, then I dropped out, and came to Seoul to work and make money.”
“Then how do you know this?” Jung Soo Yeon inexplicably thought of some movie scenes.
Immediately, she slapped her own face.
“No, this is basic junior high chemistry knowledge, no technical content at all.”
“…”
In the car, Jung Soo Yeon irritably thumped the seatback, really wanting to hit someone.
In the earphones, Lin Xiuyuan’s voice continued, “By the way, what happens after I go out later depends on you.”
After her impotent rage, she immediately replied.
“Got it, just don’t give yourself away.”
A few minutes later.
Lin Xiuyuan, back in his seat, looked at Jessica and her sister across from him. Even though he concealed it well, they still noticed the curiosity and inquiry in his gaze.
They’d encountered this kind of look too many times, even worse ones.
So the two never imagined that he was actually comparing them to another pair from 2013.
However, Jessica didn’t pay it much mind. Her goal was just to pay back the money, not to get too entangled with him, “Mr. Lin, regarding the debt, how would you like me to transfer the money?”
Hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan straightened his back a bit, “Well, I have one small request here.”
“Hmm? What is it?” Jessica asked.
“Due to some special reasons, I lost my job at my uncle’s place before, so I wanted to ask if you have any work you could recommend. As you know, giving a man a fish is less than teaching him to fish; debts will eventually run out, only making money is the way.”
Although Lin Xiuyuan’s gaze was very sincere, his words still made Jessica slightly furrow her brows.
Because she just wanted to pay back the debt, not get entangled.
So even though recommending work was simple, she still politely refused in another way, “Sorry about this, I don’t have any open positions here right now, but I can ask others for you.”
As soon as this answer came out, Jung Soo Yeon’s voice came through Lin Xiuyuan’s earphones, “Look at Soo Jung, ask if she can recommend something, even a miscellaneous assistant job is fine, make your gaze more sincere.”
Although the words in his ear puzzled Lin Xiuyuan, he still followed the arrangement and turned to Krystal, looking at her, “Well, I don’t know if Krystal you have…”
Without letting Lin Xiuyuan finish, Jessica proactively interrupted him, saying calmly, “Mr. Lin, we have other things to do here. If convenient, leave me your account, and I can transfer the money to you later, okay?”
In the car, Jung Soo Yeon muttered upon hearing this, “Indeed the same appearance.”
Then she continued directing Lin Xiuyuan, “Ignore her, keep going.”
So Lin Xiuyuan, facing Jessica’s eyes flickering with light, hurriedly said all the words Jung Soo Yeon taught him.
This left Krystal, who had been sitting quietly since Lin Xiuyuan came in, a bit at a loss. She didn’t expect this boy to ask her after her older sister refused him.
At this point, Jessica was also getting a bit impatient.
Fortunately, after Krystal pulled her older sister’s hand under the table, she replied, “I’m not sure if I have any open work to introduce to Mr. Lin. Could you leave your number, and if something comes up, I’ll contact you?”
“Quickly agree.”
“Thank you, may good people live safely forever.”
The latter sentence was something Lin Xiuyuan recently learned from Douyin, and it directly amused Krystal, making her laugh out loud, “Hahaha, such a fun answer.”
Jessica, on the other hand, kept her cold face and repeated that official line once more.
At this time, the voice in the earphones also made Lin Xiuyuan stop appropriately; the first contact was already quite good.
So after leaving an account and a mobile phone number, he got up and left the coffee shop.
After seeing his figure leave this side, Jessica picked up the paper with the number and looked at Krystal, “Do you really plan to introduce him to work?”
“He’s pretty interesting, isn’t he? If older sister you don’t like it, I’ll handle it.”
“Hey, don’t be rebellious in this aspect.”
“I really am not, I just thought of a position that’s indeed suitable for him. And the current impression is okay too, pretty good aside from being a bit reckless.”
Hearing this, Jessica unhesitatingly put the note from her hand into her pocket, “Forget it, I’ll introduce him, you focus on your work, no need to worry about this.”
“Older sister~”
“Mm.”
The two didn’t know that on the side outside the glass window, Jung Soo Yeon was sitting in the SUV filming the whole scene. After Lin Xiuyuan circled around and got in the car later, she handed him the video to watch.
And said, “Step one accomplished.”
Lin Xiuyuan, after watching the video, exclaimed, “Flanking tactic?”
