Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 305 - 230. Heng and Ha, the two generals

"Brother Luo, in your opinion, how should we handle this job?"

The next morning, Luo Lang and Luo Shaoqin were summoned into Mr. Lu’s office first thing.

After the three of them closed the door and had a hushed conversation, the two’s existing work was immediately put on indefinite hold.

At the same time, they got a set of car keys, along with a lavish budget, generously approved by the boss with a wave of his hand.

Sitting in the newly rented Jetta, Luo Lang turned to the comparatively calm Luo Shaoqin with excitement.

"It sounds complicated."

"The boss said he wants a simple character sketch, tracking the usual areas of activity."

"But I can feel that what he really wants is more than just that."

Luo Shaoqin’s temperament was steadier, complementing Luo Lang’s style well.

He took out the material the boss had given them, examining it closely.

To call it material was a bit of a stretch—it was just printed photos from the target’s friend circle and a rough schedule (Law School classes).

Having worked as an operations manager for so long, Luo Lang’s social skills had become especially sharp. To conceal his eccentric loner temperament, he had even intentionally adopted a pair of thick-framed glasses.

"First, we follow him for a while, to get the lay of the land."

Using the navigation, they parked the car early near Finance University in Jiang City and found the auditorium where the Law School freshmen were.

One of them sat amidst the crowd beforehand, while the other waited near the back door for the target.

"He’s here."

Luo Lang coughed lightly and exchanged a glance with Luo Shaoqin.

There he was—the protagonist of the photographs—Luo Yongfei had arrived.

They casually took their seats behind Luo Yongfei, officially slipping into the new roles assigned by Mr. Lu.

Record, profile, summarize.

The morning passed without incident.

At lunch break, Luo Lang and Luo Shaoqin continued to follow the target towards the cafeteria.

"What the hell, isn’t he a rich second-generation? They eat in the cafeteria too?"

Luo Lang said, curious.

"Pay attention—he was on the phone just now. Clearly, he arranged to meet friends for lunch. Kids from his kind of background are really good at networking."

Luo Shaoqin tugged at Luo Lang’s sleeve, signaling him to speed up.

"Wait, we don’t have meal cards. What now?"

"One small step at a time. Follow him, and wait for me!"

Halfway there, Luo Lang put his social skills to good use.

He rented a Finance University cafeteria meal card for 50 yuan a day from a pretty girl he met on the way, and also bagged her number.

The two squeezed into the cafeteria, choosing a spot with their backs to Luo Yongfei and his friends, and symbolically sat down with two portions of rice bowls.

"Bros, the photos are well-taken, clear and professional. I’ll give each of you a big red envelope later."

They could faintly hear Luo Yongfei’s excited voice from behind.

"No big deal. If you have more jobs like this, you can count on our professionalism..."

As they listened in, Luo Lang and Luo Shaoqin took out a recording pen and began to understand what had happened.

Sure enough, it was Luo Yongfei who financed the operation, providing the car and the cash, arranging for a photographer friend to capture evidence of Jin Cheng’s trysts with other girls.

Are you trying to catch a bullet?

Watching Luo Yongfei’s intermittent smiles, Luo Lang felt an inexplicable sympathy when he looked at him.

Sure enough, by the afternoon Law School lecture, Luo Yongfei wasn’t laughing anymore.

The girl with short hair, who had captured most of the looks in the classroom, was sweetly holding the arm of a man.

Jin Cheng, who had weathered a cheating scandal, was nonchalantly attending class with Guan Yongyi.

The seated position chosen by the couple was very close to Luo Yongfei, who witnessed a stream of playful flirting and banter during class, enough to get on anyone’s nerves.

Luo Yongfei could hardly believe his eyes.

What on earth is going on?

Is Guan Yongyi truly lovesick?

How could someone not break up after seeing all that?

Even a cold shoulder or a spat would do!

But this wasn’t the end.

The moment that utterly shattered Luo Yongfei’s view of the world and made him doubt himself came after class, in an incredible scene.

As the bell rang, Guan Yongyi stood up, started to pack her textbooks and papers into her shoulder bag, and walked towards the door, arm-in-arm with a man.

"Guan Guan! I’ve bought you guys milk tea~"

A pretty head popped out from the back door, a dazzling beauty—her dimples shining with a smile.

This person was no stranger to Luo Yongfei; it was Zhou Sinin.

Guan Yongyi’s best friend.

And the other protagonist of the photo incident.

Luo Yongfei couldn’t help but quicken his pace, his gaze following the scene.

But...

Goddammit, it has to be fake, right?

A scene completely different from what he had anticipated, unreasonable, as if the world had turned upside down, unfolded before his eyes.

Zhou Sinin handed two cups of milk tea to her best friend and her man, then obediently walked to the other side and linked arms with him as well.

Lu Jincheng had one on the left and one on the right.

The three silhouettes overlapped.

A noon breeze drifted through the window, and he could faintly hear the bell-like laughter of the two girls as they joked around.

"...Fuck me."

Luo Yongfei stood rooted to the spot.

The target’s state of mind had clearly been significantly affected.

So much so that in the following time at school, Luo Lang and Luo Shaoqin managed to, while following him, quietly close a lot of distance between them.

The last class of the afternoon, a lecture hall.

Luo Yongfei’s mind was in turmoil; he hung his head the entire time, hands fiddling with his phone on the desk.

"Got it."

Luo Shaoqin, who had been silent all afternoon, nudged his companion impatiently, Luo Lang, who was busily peering here and there from his seat diagonally behind Luo Yongfei.

"Huh?"

Luo Lang didn’t catch his meaning.

Luo Shaoqin didn’t respond, shifted his butt a bit, put some strength into his thighs, and relying on an excellent angle, decisively lifted his phone, turned off the flash and sound, and surreptitiously leaned over to take a photo.

Then he sat back down, put away his phone, and whispered, "Might be what the boss wants."

"Where’s the clue?"

Luo Lang blinked in incomprehension.

"You don’t recognize this?"

He zoomed into the picture, Luo Shaoqin pointing to a green app in the folder.

"What’s that? No idea."

Luo Lang really didn’t know, shaking his head in bewilderment, whispering.

"Let’s go, let’s go, we should head out first."

Luo Shaoqin’s eyes shone, seeing that the kid couldn’t be taught, he gave up on whispering in the classroom and promptly ushered Luo Lang out the back door.

"Not following anymore?"

"Follow what, it’s almost time for class to end!"

Luo Shaoqin excitedly shook his phone, complaining along the way.

"You always brag about being experienced and knowledgeable."

He glanced around, not until they got in the Jetta did he begin to patiently explain.

"This is a porn streaming app, like an X-rated version of Douyu; can’t believe you’re in this industry and not keeping up with the competition."

"Huh?"

Luo Lang was taken aback, stuttering.

"I just go on 91 to watch other people’s recordings and edits, okay, so I’m not well-rounded enough... But isn’t it normal for him to use it? He’s a guy, occasionally needing, you know, find some ’teachers’..."

"It’s normal to watch, but this one’s for watching."

Luo Shaoqin continued to explain, pointing to another icon of the same color.

"This one’s for the broadcasters, like a dummy version of OBS."

"...Fuck?!"

Now Luo Lang was utterly shocked, his eyes wide, mouth agape.

"No way, how did you know that?"

He was supposed to be the operations manager, wasn’t he?

Luo Lang couldn’t understand at all.

"Idiot, since your Brother Luo was demoted from his tech position, I’ve picked up quite a few contracting gigs to keep myself in practice."

Luo Shaoqin stuffed his phone back into his pocket, released the handbrake, merely flaunting his knowledge nonchalantly.

"These apps are all similar, just rip-offs; they take the code, tweak it a little, and add a few features, simple as hell."

"You holding the damn power of personnel is what it is! What cold palace are you talking about!"

This was the first time Luo Lang had felt respect for Luo Shaoqin, who had started at the same time as him.

Truly indispensable, like the two generals of the proverb, effortlessly capturing the target.

Knowing the tech is just so cool!

"Brother Luo, drive slowly, tell me more, I love hearing about the competition, my major is related after all, don’t be so stingy... Brother Luo!"
