Bailian's stand-in has collapsed [Transmigration Book]

Wei Congbai took out a banknote from his wallet and slapped it on the table, and gave Lin Jianqiu a half-smile.

"The rest will wait for you to succeed."

"Thank you, Mr. Wei."

The smile on Lin Jianqiu's face was still impeccable, without any regret or dissatisfaction.

"Call me after you have discussed it with the people in the company." Lin Jianqiu borrowed a pen and paper from the waiter and wrote down a series of numbers. "This is my phone number, but it's best to call after today."

"why?"

"The phone is out of battery now."

"..."

Under Wei Congbai's indescribable gaze, Lin Jianqiu stood up calmly: "I don't have anything else to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Wait." Wei Congbai called Lin Jianqiu to stop.

This man didn't care about anything, and the smile on his face didn't change at all. He walked happily, but Wei Congbai didn't.

Wei Congbai asked the bartender for a bottle of spirits, poured half a glass into the empty glass, and pushed it in front of Lin Jianqiu.

"Drink it." Wei Congbai raised his eyebrows, "Just treat it as my invitation to you."

He made a "please" gesture.

Without saying a word, Lin Jianqiu picked up the cup and drank it down.

The pungent liquor entered his throat, causing Lin Jianqiu to cough twice, and the corners of his eyes turned red.

Seeing that he finally didn't have the indifferent appearance of being flattered or humiliated, Wei Congbai felt a little more at ease, and then took the phone note written by Lin Jianqiu.

"you can go now."

However, Lin Jianqiu paused in the same place, turned around after a long time, and asked the passing waiter, "Where is the bathroom?"

Wei Congbai sneered loudly behind his back.

The toilets in the bar are luxuriously decorated.

Lin Jianqiu stood in front of the mirror and washed his face. The heat brought by the spirits faded a little. He borrowed a makeup remover from the waitress, and the heavy makeup on his face was washed off, revealing his original appearance.

He lifted his too long bangs and looked at his face in the mirror.

In the memory, there is the process of the original owner putting on makeup in front of the mirror, but it is not as real as when facing another self with his own eyes.

With a fair and clean face, due to long-term and careful maintenance, the skin quality may be better than that of girls of the same age. Thin lips, peach blossom eyes, deep eyes, and tall legs, even without any modification, walking outside is enough to make people feel beautiful. The standard handsome guy that girls scream.

But the original owner would always put on heavy makeup on himself in front of Bai Yueguang's photos.

Because Ye Linyun fell in love with him because of his face.

The original owner and Bai Yueguang's facial outline and body shape are somewhat similar, but Bai Yueguang's appearance is much more feminine, and he can basically pretend to be a girl in women's clothing without any sense of disobedience.

In order to please Ye Linyun, the original owner also pretended to be that way, and thanks to his young age, he could use his youthful capital to make himself indistinguishable, rather than completely horrible.

After removing the makeup, it is much more natural and more pleasing to the eye.

Lin Jianqiu looked at the person in the mirror in a daze for a moment. The 22-year-old "Lin Jianqiu" looked no different from the 28-year-old "Lin Jianqiu".

It's just younger, with a different soul, and the vicissitudes in his eyes can't be concealed.

And those scars are gone.

Lin Jianqiu reached out to touch the forehead, and then touched the side of the neck, everything was smooth, not even a slight scar could be seen.

There are no calluses in the palm, and it is so smooth that it doesn't even look like the hands of someone who has practiced the piano for a long time.

He really has become another person.

Maybe another self.

There are a lot of bizarre things in the world, there are not many less of this, and there are not many of this.

A drunk man staggered into the bathroom, raised his hazy eyes and glanced at Lin Jianqiu.

"Brother, I know you're handsome, but you don't have to appreciate it for so long." The drunk patted him on the shoulder, and then looked closer at him, "Why do I think you look familiar?"

The strong smell of alcohol hit his face, Lin Jianqiu backed away a little, and smiled at the drunk.

"Maybe all handsome people are similar."

The drunk man could hardly think rationally, he just nodded indiscriminately, and was easily persuaded: "You are right."

When Lin Jianqiu turned to leave, he heard the drunk man muttering to himself.

"...Probably not, how could it be such a coincidence..."

"How could such a pretentious big star be here..."

"Playing a big name and telling lies to splash other people's dirty water... But if you want to save face, you may go out again..."

-When Lin Jianqiu came back, the bearded man was packing his things by the side of the road, ready to go to the next place.

The sky had gradually darkened, but there were still not many people around.

"Brother Beard, let's go, I invite you to dinner." Lin Jianqiu greeted.

The bearded man turned his head and was stunned for a long time when he saw Lin Jianqiu's face, before he tentatively asked, "Are you Lin Jianqiu? The one who was here just now?"

Lin Jianqiu smiled and asked, "Is it that hard to recognize?"

The bearded man nodded: "...the difference is a bit big."

If it wasn't for the fact that his clothes and voice hadn't changed, he would hardly have dared to recognize her.

The bearded man was afraid that these words would hurt Lin Jianqiu, so he quickly said, "But I think you look better like this."

"Really." Lin Jianqiu touched his face and agreed deeply, "I think so too."

The bearded man: "..." He was overthinking.

He decided to change the subject: "Didn't you go to find your friends? I thought you wouldn't come back."

"I just found a temporary job." Lin Jianqiu replied, "Besides, you have helped me so much, so I should treat you to dinner."

"You'd better keep the money for yourself." The bearded man sighed, "It's not easy for you now..."

Before he finished speaking, his stomach let out a loud growl.

The bearded man was at a loss for words, and his face turned red—although it was hard to see from behind the beard.

"I have a steamed bun here..."

"Let's go." Lin Jianqiu smiled, "I can't hire you too expensive. If the money is gone, I can make more money. Besides, I may ask you for help again in the future. Go to the noodle restaurant on the street behind How about it?"

The bearded man finally stopped refusing, packed up his belongings and walked to another street with Lin Jianqiu.

The street under your feet is exclusively for young people, full of trendy elements. In addition to bars and clubs, there are also high-end shopping malls and niche shops. From the outside decoration, it can be seen that the value is very high, and they are usually rich people. Like to come and go.

And two blocks away, there is an ordinary "civilian area", with low old brick walls enclosing the courtyard, and some tall buildings can be seen a little further in, and there are some homely shops and junk on both sides of the street. recycle bin.

Looking into the alleys, most of them are piled up with garbage and waste products.

The original owner had passed by here before when he was just sitting in the car.

There was still a distance from the intersection ahead, and the green light began to flicker, and the color was quickly selected. Lin Jianqiu stopped early and looked at the door of a certain store for a while.

The bearded man glanced at him: "Do you want to buy a lottery ticket?"

Lin Jianqiu took another look, then shook his head: "Not today."

The bearded man doesn't really believe in the idea of ​​getting rich by buying lottery tickets, but he watched Lin Jianqiu fall from the clouds in front of him, from a high and unreachable star to a penniless wretch. Everything will collapse.

Lin Jianqiu hasn't cried yet, and the bearded man feels that he is already stronger than he imagined.

It's not a bad thing if you have a little spiritual sustenance to buffer it.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you want to try it. It's just a matter of luck. If you win, you may have a month's living expenses."

Lin Jianqiu still shook his head: "No."

The countdown to the red light ahead began, and he urged: "Let's go."

After crossing the road, Lin Jianqiu explained to the bearded man slowly.

"Someone once told me that people's luck is constant. If you encounter too many bad things, you will definitely encounter good things. The reverse is also true. I only buy lottery tickets on particularly unlucky days."

In other words, it is a psychological comfort.

The bearded man gradually understood, but was puzzled——

"Don't you feel unlucky enough today... Cough, I mean, do you think you're lucky today?"

Lin Jianqiu let out a "huh" and could still laugh: "For me, it's a little more good."

He thought he would die of a terminal illness, but when he opened his eyes, he became several years younger. Even though he occasionally wondered which Lin Jianqiu he was, he was still alive.

Being alive is a great thing in itself.

Although we are in the most embarrassing time, food is delivered when we are hungry, and business is delivered to our door when we are most short of money. We are not really in a desperate situation, so luck is not bad.

The bearded man couldn't quite understand the "good things" in Lin Jianqiu's cognition, his face was full of surprise, but he didn't question it.

After crossing the road, there were more small eateries on the street, and many barbecue restaurants set up their stalls outside, and the oily smoke rose straight up. Lin Jianqiu and the bearded man bypassed the noisy crowd fighting for wine, and walked to the The entrance of a slightly secluded noodle restaurant at the end of the street.

The bearded man looked down at his dusty attire, and couldn't help being a little embarrassed: "Will they let me in like this?"

He has been wandering outside these years, and he has long forgotten the problem of appearance. He has encountered situations of being rejected by others in the past, but it is the first time that he is afraid of being unable to enter the store when he is invited by someone.

"The one in front is fine, it should be fine." Lin Jianqiu was referring to the customer who entered in front of them.

I didn't see his face, but from the back, his hair was messy like a bird's nest, his gray coat was tattered, and he wore slippers on his feet. He looked more like a homeless man than a bearded man.

However, the shop owner and his wife did not drive him away, but greeted him with the menu.

The bearded man was still guilty, he took a step behind and followed behind Lin Jianqiu.

Lin Jianqiu just stepped on the door frame with one foot, and suddenly stopped, his gaze stayed for a moment on the side face of the customer who had just entered the door.

The bearded man lowered his head and didn't pay attention, and bumped into it, almost knocking him over.

"Sorry, I didn't notice..."

Lin Jianqiu touched the back of his head when he was hit, and the foot that stepped in retreated back, and he stretched out his hand to the bearded man: "Lend me your phone."

The bearded man didn't ask the reason, just took out the phone from his pocket and handed it over.

The old smart phone was seriously stuck, and the bearded man was able to see clearly the short number that Lin Jianqiu entered on the communication interface——

emergency call.

While pressing the call button, Lin Jianqiu directed the bearded man to enter the door: "Brother, go and order first, I'll make a call and call someone over."

He had a calm demeanor, as if he was just taking someone over for a quick meal along the way.

If the bearded man hadn't seen the number he dialed with his own eyes, he would never have guessed that this man was calling the police.

Bearded man: "..."

He has already started to panic how to break.
