Chapter 329: Chapter 27: Going Viral Chapter 329: Chapter 27: Going Viral Their eyes met, and for a moment, neither spoke.

A few seconds later,

Zhao Yingjun gave a slight smile, turned her head away, and looked out at the flowing street scene through the window:

“It must be a very important person, a very important matter, right?

Otherwise…

such a choice that gambles a lifetime, the sacrifice would be too great.”

“Perhaps.”

Lin Xian smiled, pushed the plates on the table aside to make room, and let the waiter place the newly served chopped chili fish head in the center of the dinner table:

“This fish head looks really good, very appetizing.”

“Then have a taste!”

Zhao Yingjun laughingly picked up her chopsticks along with Lin Xian:

“This is also considered one of the most classic dishes in the Hunan cuisine.

I wish you and your newly started Rhein Company good fortune and success!”

…

“You got it!”

At a street-side open-air barbecue stall, Gao Yang rolled up his tank top, rubbed his bulging belly, and pointed a lamb skewer at Lin Xian:

“Nonsense.”

With a displeased look, Lin Xian glanced at Gao Yang and downed a glass of beer.

The dinner with Zhao Yingjun was quickly finished; after all, neither of them drank, so it was just a simple home-cooked meal, and they left once done.

It happened to be early, and Gao Yang had sent a message saying it had been a long time since they’d met up, so he suggested grabbing some barbecue and having a few drinks.

Lin Xian didn’t refuse.

While nothing much had happened in reality during this time, the impact from the dreams was significant.

Having a few drinks to relax seemed perfect.

And when Gao Yang heard that Lin Xian and Zhao Yingjun had just gone out for Hunan food, he immediately turned into a strategist, starting to give his pointers:

“You don’t understand, let me analyze it for you!

Generally speaking, if a woman isn’t very close to you, has a good relationship with you, or considers you one of her own…

she would absolutely not go eat Hunan food or hot pot with you.”

“Why is that?” Lin Xian asked.

“Because eating that kind of food is bound to be unladylike, ah!” Gao Yang, while gobbling down skewers of lamb, explained:

“Look, Hunan cuisine is spicy, so you’ll inevitably have a runny nose, need to blow your nose, sweat, and get a flushed face, right?

The same goes for hot pot.

The moment you wipe off any sweat, your makeup is ruined, and you’re left with your bare, natural face.

And then blowing your nose in front of you, isn’t that a behavior that ruins one’s image?”

“So, to maintain their image, women usually pick simple dishes that don’t mess up their makeup for dining out, something like Western cuisine.

Now do you understand?

Your boss…

ah, I mean your former boss, she never saw you as an outsider!

Taking you home to see her dog, going out for Hunan food, she definitely already considers you someone very close!”

“Forget it, stop with your wild analysis.”

Regarding someone who could draw the outlandish conclusion of “Oh no, Chu Anqing has taken a fancy to me!” at Ji Lin’s birthday, Lin Xian now felt listening to Gao Yang’s analysis was about as useful as a fart.

The two hadn’t seen each other for a while, and they had both drunk quite a bit.

Lin Xian usually didn’t drink this much, but today he felt an inexplicable urge to drink more.

They chatted for a long time and also discussed their current situations.

Brother Wang had placed a large order with Gao Yang for cars to be used as company vehicles, so Gao Yang’s performance was quite good, and through Brother Wang’s connections, he established long-term partnerships with many companies.

Thanks to this, Gao Yang also got a promotion, advancing from a regular salesperson to a department supervisor, dealing exclusively with major clients.

It was certainly a cause for celebration.

“Speaking of the Hibernation Pod.”

A tipsy Gao Yang wobbled his head:

“Did you see the news today?

The Dragon Science Academy has already started recruiting volunteers across the country.

They say the first experimental model of the Hibernation Pod has been created, animal testing has been passed, and they’re now preparing for further tests.”

“Already?”

Lin Xian had not paid attention to this news in the past few days.

The scientific field around the world is advancing every day, blooming in all aspects.

According to Professor Xu Yun’s original estimate, it would take at least two to three years for humanity to create a usable first-generation Hibernation Pod.

But unexpectedly, in just half a year, China’s science academy had already built the experimental model.

Although the experimental model was still some distance from a formal product ready for use, it would probably not take anywhere near two to three years.

In light of this…

The potential and explosive power of humanity truly seemed infinite.

If not for certain ‘Black Hands’ suppressing technological development in the shadows, it might only take a few decades for humanity to embark on a journey to the vast universe.

He genuinely hoped the Hibernation Pod would be built soon.

Xu Yun and Zheng Chenghe were gone; one had shown him kindness while the other, although a stranger, was a pitiable soul.

Lin Xian couldn’t ignore Xu Yiyi and Zheng Xiangyue.

Once the safety and readiness of the Hibernation Pod were confirmed, he would send these two unfortunate girls into it…

to a future capable of curing their diseases.

Soon.

Lin Xian finished reading the relevant news.@@novelbin@@

It matched what Gao Yang said: the Dragon Science Academy was recruiting volunteers and also listed the potential side effects, just as Tang Xin had said, there were quite a few, with amnesia being just one of them.

Based on what Lin Xian had seen in the Third Dreamland about Zhao Yingjun’s life, it was clear that by the year 2026, the Hibernation Pod had overcome all the side effects other than memory loss.
