Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 28 "I, Lin Xiuyuan, send money"

in the afternoon.

The rain was drizzling, and the sky and the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of gray gauze.

The raindrops tapped on the umbrella, making a slight sound, as if whispering old memories that did not want to be awakened.

In the silent cemetery, the only sounds were the rustling of wind through branches and the soft sound of footsteps on the wet soil.

In front of one of the tombstones, two figures stood quietly.

The boy was holding a black umbrella, which could barely accommodate two people. He leaned slightly to the side, tilting the umbrella more towards the woman next to him.

The two stood side by side, gazing at the name on the stone tablet that was brightly washed by rain, surrounded by flowers and photos.

It was at this moment that Lin Xiuyuan finally understood why Krystal was so excited when she heard that she could see him again.

Because even though he knew very clearly that in the past time and space, that person was still living happily, this scene was just some kind of "future" in a parallel world.

But when he stood here, the environment around him and the scene in front of him were enough to impact his brain, making his emotions deeply immersed and unable to extricate himself.

It is an indescribable emotion that makes people silent and heavy.

Not to mention Krystal, who personally experienced that life and death separation.

As the clatter of the umbrellas overhead grew louder and louder, the rain curtain in the sky grew heavier. Soon, when the umbrellas were about to fail to protect the two of them, Lin Xiuyuan said softly, "Let's go. We've been here, we've seen it, that's all."

"Ah."

In fact, before coming here, Liu Zhimin was still thinking about what to say.

But when I really stood here, I suddenly couldn't say anything.

The solemnity of the cemetery made her mind blank, and bits of memories about this predecessor automatically emerged in her mind.

Although the two have almost no intersection, as pursuers of the same dream in the same company and in the same game with cruel rules, Liu Zhimin at this moment still couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness.

The two of them got back into the car. On the second leg of the journey, the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed and comfortable as when they came. There was only silence all the way.

After sending Liu Zhimin to the door of the restaurant, Lin Xiuyuan turned around and returned to the villa, opened the time and space door, and returned to 2013.

After all, young people are still not used to separations between life and death.

Even such a simple trip to the cemetery was enough to leave a deep impression in his mind that would last for a long time.

He tossed and turned at night and could not fall asleep.

Finally, I sat up in the middle of the night, passed through the time and space gate and returned to 2025, and sat in front of the computer.

I sit there all night long, until dawn, all night long.

And the next morning, he returned to 2013, sat down on the sofa, picked up the old Apple phone, and called Jessica Jung.

As soon as the call was connected, he got straight to the point, "I, Lin Xiuyuan, want to transfer the money."

Jessica Jung, who had just woken up in Tokyo, was a little suspicious whether she had heard it wrongly.

No, this guy is crazy, he just comes up and talks like that.

But even though she was complaining in her heart, what she said out loud was, "How much do you want? Give me the card number."

"The initial estimate is 80 million."

Lin Xiuyuan's answer surprised Zheng Xiuyan. "Wait a minute, first of all, let me explain. I can transfer the money to you right now. I don't mind this small amount of money, but can you tell me what you're going to use it for?"

"We've talked about this before. Opening a small bar, I calculated, the cost would be around 80 million."

When she heard that the other party wanted to "open a bar", Jessica Jung was a little happy.

This means that as long as the other party has a business here, his people can't escape far, and she can use the space-time gate at any time. In comparison, 80 million? It's not worth mentioning.

"Okay, I'll transfer you later. But I still have a question. How did you calculate the cost of 80 million?"

When Lin Xiuyuan thought that Zheng Xiuyan was worried that he would do something wrong, she added a sentence.

"Is that enough? Or I can give you more."

This made Lin Xiuyuan laugh out loud, and then he told her about the preparations he had made last night. "It doesn't need to be that much. 80 million is enough for the initial stage and the opening."

"you sure?"

"Well, you see. First, you need to rent a place. Usually you need to pay 1-2 years' rent as a deposit. For about 60 square meters, I'll estimate about 30 million."

"Ah."

Jessica Jung was completely attracted by the topic. She didn't even brush her teeth. She came out of the bathroom and sat by the window, listening quietly.

Lin Yoona, who was in the same room with her, was stunned and lay on the bed looking at her sister.

Jessica Jung listened carefully to the voice on the phone, "Then the monthly rent will be around a few million, paid quarterly, let's start with 500 million."

"can."

"Then there's the renovation and equipment, including audio equipment, air conditioning, lighting, refrigerators, wine cabinets, etc., which together cost about 30 million."

"Finally, there are the costs of purchasing goods and administration, which I calculated to be around 10 million."

After hearing this, Zheng Xiuyan immediately helped Lin Xiuyuan calculate, "Three thousand, five hundred, three thousand, one thousand, a total of six thousand five hundred. You said eight thousand, and the rest is for reserve funds, right?"

"Yes."

Zheng Xiuyan thought quietly for a moment, and finally asked, "No, Lin Xiuyuan, you have nothing to do these days, so you haven't been counting these numbers all the time, have you?"

"No, I couldn't sleep last night, so I got up and calculated it."

Zheng Xiuyan was stunned by Lin Xiuyuan's answer. "Wait, you figured out so many things in one night?"

But the next second, Lin Xiuyuan's answer made her even more angry, "Don't you know that there are geniuses in this world? As long as I can find the opening time and the budget estimate for opening a bar, it's not something I can do with just a finger."

After using two AIs that he had been using for 25 years last night, Lin Xiuyuan was finally completely conquered by the new things over there.

DeepSeek is indeed great, but ChatGPT is more considerate and even drew decoration drawings for him, which is really convenient.

Similarly, the smart Jessica Jung on the other end of the phone immediately understood the key point of Lin Xiuyuan's words.

That's when the doors open.

So apparently something in 2025 helped him figure out the entire budget overnight.

Thinking of this, she looked forward to returning to Seoul more and more so that she could personally see the world of the future and see her future self and them.

So he said to Lin Xiuyuan on the other end of the phone, "Give me your account number and I'll transfer the money to you shortly."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Jessica Jung waited for a while, then looked at the bank account sent by Lin Xiuyuan, lowered her head and started to operate.

When she finished everything and looked up, she saw Lin Yuner looking at her with a face full of shock and disbelief. "Ouni, did you get scammed by a scumbag?"

at the same time.

After dealing with Jessica Jung, Lin Xiuyuan returned to 2025 and committed "fraud" on her own sister.

"Hello, Krystal, it's me, Lin Xiuyuan, sending you money."
