Chapter 407: Chapter 275 Why Haven’t You Left Yet

Su City, 22nd floor of the Eastern Gate Building, Cretaceous Technology Co., Ltd.

Even at 8:30 in the evening, the collective office remained brightly lit.

One by one, programmers and office drones with uneven hairlines were enjoying their "blessings" with dark circles under their eyes...

"Hah~" Lu Xiaoyi yawned.

He had stayed up too late gaming last night, which resulted in not getting enough sleep.

However, having just joined the company and seeing that the old staff hadn’t left yet, he, the newcomer, didn’t feel it was proper to leave first.

But by now, he was indeed struggling to stay awake.

"Brother Wang, until what time does our company usually work overtime? Um... my girlfriend is waiting for me to have dinner, can I leave first?"

Lu Xiaoyi shifted in his seat and whispered to an old employee next to him with exceptionally dark circles under his eyes.

"Of course, you can! There’s no strict rule in our company; the standard working hours are from nine to five.

It’s just that the big boss is here today, so everyone is trying to look busy. As a new employee, you could have actually left at five."

The old employee called Brother Wang smiled with a face that showed the traces of time.

"Really?" Lu Xiaoyi’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this; the company was indeed as the rumors had said, without any mandatory overtime requirements!

Jumping ship to Cretaceous was indeed a wise move!

Then what was there to say? He immediately started packing up his things, ready to leave.

"By the way, the company offers free supper at nine o’clock, all solid dishes, along with fruits and drinks, which you can take away."

Brother Wang continued to clack away at his computer keyboard, and without turning his head, he added this comment.

Lu Xiaoyi’s movements, as he was about to leave, froze.

He checked the time—it was only a bit more than twenty minutes away...

"Well then, I’ll ask my girlfriend to wait a bit longer; it’ll be perfect to add a dish when I get back, hehe!"

With a chuckle, he set down his bag again and started working with a clatter of keystrokes.

...

Meanwhile, in the general manager’s office...

"This is outrageous!"

Hu Yifei put down his phone, his face a mix of confusion and surprise.

"What happened, Yifei?" His girlfriend, Big Wave, brought over a cup of coffee and placed it on his desk.

"Remember Meng Lang?"

"Sure, the masked racer, right? What about him?"

"I had just added him as a friend not long ago, and I was checking my social feed just now. Guess what I saw?" said Hu Yifei with a baffled look.

"What? You look so shocked; could it be that he and Weiwei announced something official?" Big Wave said eagerly, her voice dripping with curiosity.

"It’s not as outrageous as that, but he posted a photo of his brand-new driver’s license, fresh from today..."

"Um..."

Big Wave was clearly also taken aback.

"Where is it? Let me see!"

"Gone now. I couldn’t help but like it, and then the guy blocked me..." Hu Yifei spread his hands in a gesture of resignation, managing a wry smile.

"What? Pfft!" Big Wave couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

It was rare for someone to dismiss Master Hu so blatantly.

"One’s a newbie just got his driver’s license, and the other defeated even Xu Jingfeng, the racing prodigy. Are you sure they are the same person?"

"How could it be fake? I confirmed it with my mentor."

"Well... maybe he was always racing overseas and just came back, so he didn’t have a local license.

Or maybe he had his license suspended for an accident or drunk driving, and he had to retake the test?

Think about it, a master like him insists on hiding his face; he doesn’t even want people to see him. There must be a painful past that he doesn’t want to relive by re-entering the racing world.

Yes! There must be... a story behind this racer!" Big Wave was caught up in concocting the narrative.

Hu Yifei was pensive as well.

"I don’t know about his past, but now I’m certain; Weiwei’s so-called tenant is definitely not a simple character..."

"What’s so special about him? Besides being good at driving and having a good relationship with Weiwei, what else stands out?"

"Last time Yu... never mind, it’s too complicated to explain. Anyway, if you have the chance, try to get more information from our mentor about this guy and find out who he really is."

The consecutive inquiries from Mr. Yu and Mr. Liu for Meng Lang’s contact information had already been bizarre enough.

Reflecting on it, the behavior of both bosses seemed out of the ordinary.

Mr. Yu had said Meng’s words were pearls of wisdom and mentioned he wanted to visit him personally, looking earnest in his search for talent.

Mr. Liu was even stranger; he sounded impatient on the phone at the time.

The man was still across the ocean, and considering the time difference, it seemed like it was the middle of the night there.

A mogul staying up late to ask for contact information for a nobody...?

If Hu Yifei didn’t think there was a whole TV drama series behind this, he would never believe it.

Although curious to the point of itching, he heard nothing about any follow-up, so he figured it might have been a whim on their part.

But just today, as fate would have it, he stumbled upon Meng Lang’s social feed and discovered that both moguls had liked it...

To think that when Hu Yifei had himself posted about a partnership with Mr. Bao of Apple Car, neither mogul showed up.

That was normal; after all, they manage huge businesses daily, so his little ventures probably didn’t catch their attention.

Yet... I, Hu Yifei, am building cars, and I’m unworthy of their notice, while a nobody merely gets a driver’s license, without even a car to his name, and both moguls rush to like it?

Does that make sense, is it reasonable, is it appropriate?
