Chapter 28: Amnesia, karma, a night in the car.

Secretary's head is spinning, "Temporary adjustments to be made for next Monday's launch ......"

Zhou Kai is furious: "When did this happen?"

Without waiting for the secretary to speak again, he said, "Wait until I get back!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Sam heard the whole conversation from the side, but all he could think about was the mysterious emails he received a few days ago that were suspected to be from Mr. Shen.

"...... I'll give you a chance. I hope you take it."

Is that what you call a chance?

Sam thought it was absurd, but everything that had happened in recent days had caused a glimmer of hope to emerge in his heart.

Rushing back to the company, after hearing the cause and effect of the incident, Zhou Kai was furious: "How can this be? When did you inform me?"

The secretary cried out, "Around 10 o'clock in the morning. You were the one who personally arranged for me to convene the meeting in question."

Zhou Kai couldn't believe it, "Why don't I remember?"

The secretary said, "Without your instructions, how could I dare to overstep my bounds in arranging a meeting?"

Zhou Kai is still unbelievable.

The secretary had no choice but to call the assistant who had initially informed him of the change in the launch.

The assistant, a young black man, came in and, with a polite and courteous bend, flashed him the records of his calls with the secretary, and made it clear that he was in the habit of recording himself on the telephone. If Mr. Zhou needed them, he could provide them immediately.

Seeing that the visitor was a black man, Zhou Kai felt uncomfortable.

He didn't like blacks, they seemed to him to be extraordinarily difficult to serve, dirty and ugly, but on the surface he had to be polite and courteous, after all, it was politically correct among the whites.

There was no need to listen to the recording, he nodded reluctantly, and the assistant bowed again and went out the door.

Secretary Frank had been with him for so many years, it was impossible for him to make a private decision on such a big matter, and with the many circumstantial evidence, the ironclad facts were right in front of him, Zhou Kai had no way to deny it any more.

Zhou Kai's face was ugly to the extreme.

After such an ominous incident, he has to give an explanation.

But what did he say? I'm sorry, but while you were waiting for me, I went golfing?

He argued, "I don't have the slightest recollection of having a meeting."

Sam, who had been silent since moments before, spoke up, "But it can't be explained that way."

Zhou Kai looked at him.

Sam said, "My opinion is, this incident is not a big deal, and you haven't been delayed too long, so as long as you tell the public that you felt unwell and went to the hospital for a checkup, and then make up for the meeting tonight, there shouldn't be any more problems."

Zhou Kai felt that this method was feasible and turned to the secretary and said, "Account for it."

The secretary left on command.

That night a meeting went on until nine o'clock.

Exhausted, but unwilling to show his fatigue, Zhou Kai drove home by himself. He drove home by himself, not even changing his clothes, and went to see Shen Zhangqing first.

Shen Zhangqing is lying in bed and has fallen asleep.

Zhou Kai is in a very bad mood today, and looking at Shen Zhangqing, who is sleeping soundly, adds to his agitation.

How dare he sleep when ...... he himself is not yet back?

Did he think he wouldn't dare teach him a lesson because he was wounded?

Zhou Kai let out a laugh and raised his palm, swinging it fiercely at the sleeping Shen Zhangqing.

In his eyes, there was already the sight of Shen Zhangqing's head being slapped to one side, awakening in a daze from his sleep, and begging for mercy as he backed away.

But his wrist was steeply captured by a hand.

Zhou Kai's eyes widened.

...... Shen Zhangqing Awake? Or are you pretending to be asleep?

But he clearly saw Shen Zhangqing's hands were well placed in the quilt ......

Before he could think clearly about this, a strong wind came at him head-on and heavily attacked the right side of his face!

He even heard a muffled click from his cheekbone.

Zhou Kai tends to treat people as sandbags, or for the first time in his life, he himself acted as a sandbag, and was immediately knocked out of his senses.

He lost consciousness and fell backwards, but a force grabbed his wrist before he hit the ground.

The young man in the white shirt and black pants half crouched on the ground, protecting Zhou Kai's head and easing him down to the ground before turning his head to look at Chi Xiaochi on the bed.

He was breathing evenly and didn't seem to have been awakened by the loudness of the punch he had just given.

061 breathed a sigh of relief.

...... well not easy to put to sleep early today.

He carried the unconscious Zhou Kai out unnoticed, transported him back to his car, and set up the scene a little more.

061 After thinking about it, he took it upon himself to use Zhou Kai's favor value and cashed in a card to erase the memory of the ten minutes after Zhou Kai entered the door.

During the busy process, 061 wondered how he would have handled it if it had been his old self who had run into this kind of thing.

In fact such problems had plagued him for a long time. Especially after accepting the formatting.

After being cleansed of his memories, he lay in his room for a long time, during which time he was visited by a number of people, and the earliest to come were a young man with white hair and a somewhat saucy-looking young man with a little mole in the corner of his eye.

They introduced themselves, the white-haired youth's number being 023 and the tear-marked youth 089.

While 023 is responsible for managing the conduction and downloading of data from various worlds, 089 is the Randomization System, specifically tasked with the random pairing of systems and new hosts, as well as the random selection of the world line the host goes to.

In short, a webmaster and a shaker.

089 asked, "Do you still recognize us?"

061 shook his head, somewhat apologetically.

089 Wiping tears from her eyes, "What to do, child's mother, the child doesn't even recognize his father."

As soon as the words left his mouth he was kicked out by 061.

061 thought about it and said, "Let's be friends."

023 said, "Acquaintance."

089 said, "Father and son."

Then 089 got punched in the head by 023 again.

However, the funny thing is that the 023 is more than a full head shorter than the 089, and you have to jump up to hit someone, which can be very unimpressive.

061 was quite familiar with the gagging atmosphere, but there was another thing that was bothering him.

He said, "I seem to have forgotten a lot of important things. ...... I seem to be going to an appointment."

At the mention of this, 023's face did not look good, "Don't think about it. Don't go to see him again, this time you don't because ......"

089, however, grabbed 023's hand at that moment and shook it, signaling him to keep quiet.

089 said, "Such things as fate can be found. Now that you've forgotten the past, it's a kind of karma."

023 blanked him.

089 And again he said, "It is useless to beg until the destiny arrives; but with father keeping an eye on you, if the destiny arrives, I will pull him to you even if I have to."

061 Not knowing what he was talking about, only that he meant well, he politely said thank you to him.

Formatting is a catastrophic punishment for a system, and 061 can only look over the information and re-familiarize himself with the mission process, as well as get to know the other systems again.

In terms of how they treat themselves, 061 can see that their previous selves seemed to be quite polite and gentle with anyone, willing to listen to other systems pouring out their woes, and therefore not poorly liked.

Later, after getting reacquainted with them, 061 learned more about himself.

Workaholic, never takes a vacation in a million years, and is hell-bent on returning home after 200 missions.

Loves to study all kinds of food, is very good at cooking, and tends to be the chef at potlucks, but is not much of a foodie herself, preferring to watch others eat.

No wisecracks will be made.

Laugh when you can't pick up what someone is saying.

Eat ice cream without a cone.

Rarely expresses disgust, treats people as a gentleman, and says "please" and "thank you" without fail.

To generalize, 061 is a nice guy who is not much fun to be around.

Not like now, anyway, where it's not only guilt-free to beat someone unconscious and set up the scene while the moon is dark and windy, but it feels kind of exciting.

061 thought to myself, "If you become like this after following Chi Xiaochi for only one and a half worlds, what's going to happen in the future.

But when I went back to my room and saw Chi Xiaochi sleeping peacefully,061 my heart was still.

Before, he had been the 061 in everyone's mind, but perhaps his own state of mind now belonged to the pre-formatted, true 061.

061 Looking at the unconscious man in the bed, he thought, Good thing you're here.

That's roughly what 089 said about Karma.

Not knowing how to express his gratitude, he sat by the bedside with him, internet searching for books he could read for Chi Xiaochi, and didn't re-enter him until almost dawn.

Chi Xiaochi woke up early, and as soon as he did, 061 reported to him what had happened last night.

At the end, he said, "I'm sorry I didn't say hello to you after using 8 points of goodwill."

Chi Xiaochi said, "I'm sorry for what? Helping me defend myself, I should."

061: "......" words are good, just how it sounds so awkward.

Knowing that Zhou Kai was still outside feeding the mosquitoes, Chi Xiaochi read a book in a good mood.

061 couldn't help but ask, "Not going out to look?"

Chi Xiaochi said, "It's not yet time for Zhou Kai to wake up."

061: "Then sleep a little longer?"

Chi Xiaochi looked at her watch and replied, "...... Isong is getting up soon."

Sure enough, ten or so minutes later, there was a faintly panicked shout from outside.

The first thing Zhou Kai felt when he woke up groggy from Isong's shaking was a splitting headache.

He looked around in bewilderment and realized that the window was open and his right cheek was pressed against the windowpane, red and blue and already swollen.

The car was parked in the garden, and his neck, left side and the backs of his hands were covered with mosquito bites from the

He moved his body, his aching muscles calling out a groan that he didn't hold back.

After all, he was nearly fifty years old, his body could not withstand such a build, he turned to lie down on the steering wheel, breathlessly slowed down for half a day, before stiffening half of his body to get out of the car.

Isong asked him, "Sir, why did you sleep in the car?"

Zhou Kai shifted with difficulty and said gruffly, "I don't know!"

Isong was immediately silenced.

Zhou Kai pressed his temples in annoyance.

Yesterday his memory stopped at the point where he drove the car into the villa, as if the moment he turned off the engine, he was completely disconnected.

It's so weird.

First, he completely failed to remember that he had a meeting in the afternoon and happily went to play golf for two hours, then he slept in his car all night ......

Zhou Kai staggered into the house, calling, "Shen Zhangqing, Shen Zhangqing!"

Shen Zhangqing soon came out of the bedroom.

He was young, after all, and after a few days had passed, he was able to get off the ground on his own.

It took Chi Xiaochi a great deal of effort not to burst out laughing at the sight of Zhou Kai's face.

He exclaimed, "What's going on here?"

Zhou Kai stared at Shen Zhangqing: "What time did you go to bed last night? Do you know when I came back?"

Shen Zhangqing shook his head in horror, "I don't remember the time ...... The watch is broken and hasn't been repaired."

061 exclaimed, Chi Xiaochi's reaction was really fast.

This is the most appropriate of all possible responses.

Zhou Kai is in a shell-shocked state, eager to hit, and Chi Xiaochi, not eager to be hit, has to find a way to clean himself up.

If Chi Xiaochi answered the time honestly, Zhou Kai would say, "So early? How dare you go to bed without me?

If Chi Xiaochi had made up the time, Zhou Kai would have remembered the time he came back and would have asked, "Didn't you hear the car".

In light of this, Chi Xiaochi made the most prudent response in a short period of time in the face of a pervert.

Zhou Kai looked Chi Xiaochi over and realized that he didn't look like he had just woken up.

He asked, "Didn't you just hear Isong's voice and why didn't you come out?"

Chi Xiaochi said fearfully, "I ...... now, it's not time to get up yet. I'm supposed to be in my room without your permission."

061 Suddenly, he understood why Chi Xiaochi refused to come out to see Zhou Kai just now, and why he refused to go to sleep.

Dare I say that I am waiting for Zhou Kai here.

And as soon as Chi Xiaochi's words fell, 061 saw that the eight points of goodwill that he had depleted last night had risen back, and there were two more points.

061: It's hard to speculate on the thoughts of "......" perverts.

And Chi Xiaochi's show isn't over yet.

He turned to Isong and said, "Don't freeze, help Sir to rest on the couch, contact Dr. Aaron and ask him to come quickly; and go to Mr. Sam and give him a call to tell him that Sir is sick. Today ......"

At this point, he seemed to realize that he had overstepped his bounds and looked timidly at Zhou Kai.

Zhou Kai was once again greatly pleased by his appearance, and his tone was much gentler: "Today I'm resting at home, recuperating from my illness."

The ...... good sense has risen again by 6 or 7 points.

Chi Xiaochi said to 061, "Look, there is no food, there is no clothing, the enemy sends us up."

After saying that, he exchanged a card that enhanced his strength with particular skill.

He said, "Nuh-uh, next time take this, it's more cost effective to punch him into a stroke with an additional amnesia buff."

Getting the card, 061 had mixed feelings.

Chi Xiaochi is using Zhou Kai as an ATM and not paying the maintenance fee.
