Chapter 124 A Lifetime Companion
“Your 'Soulmate' is a joke!” Jacob yelled.
"Mr. Russell, I..." Cassius stammered.
"Right now, Meta Platforms Company is under harsh criticism from the public!"
"Mr. Russell, I..."
"You have one day to handle this matter. I'll give you one last chance."
"Mr. Russell, I..."
"If you fail again, it's not just about resigning. I will hold you fully accountable!" Jacob hung up the phone.
Cassius's face turned red. He couldn't believe that his boss had interrupted him four times in a row, and it made him almost suffocate.
Shaking off his reverie and returning to his senses, Cassius became increasingly alarmed. He knew being held accountable was no joke; the company's reputation loss was calculated in billions each time.
A bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down Cassius's forehead. The pressure was immense, even life-threatening.
Just then, a knock on the door sounded, and Benjamin rushed in frantically.
"Mr. Greene, it's bad. The Gemini app has a big update!" Benjamin said.
Cassius nearly slid off his chair. "What are you talking about? What's the new feature?"
Taking Benjamin's phone, Cassius squinted, first focusing on Benjamin's Gemini app nickname.
['Benjamin's Dream']
Then Cassius looked at Benjamin with a livid face. "You've been using the Gemini app a lot?"
Benjamin looked embarrassed. He had just rushed to report and forgotten it was his account! He scratched his head and said, "Well, everyone wants to find a soulmate, so I..."
"What did you say?" Cassius's veins popped!
Benjamin pulled up a serious face and said, "You better look at their new feature, called Gemini app Stage!"
Cassius frowned, studying it for a long time. "Isn't this just a contact posting feature?"
Benjamin looked distressed. "It's not that simple, you better experience it first!"
It was not just Benjamin. Ten minutes ago, the Gemini app received a comprehensive update! Nearly 800 million users received it simultaneously.
In an oil painting classroom, all the students had gone home, leaving only a girl in a floral dress. In the cold classroom, she added the final touch to her oil painting. Suddenly, she heard the Gemini app update notification.
She smiled; this app had helped her find her only soulmate. A small button at the bottom of the app caught her attention.
Gemini app Stage.
Some words popped up on this girl's screen.
[Find the most suitable stage for you.]
'Anyway, I don't have any friends here,' the girl thought, taking a photo of her still immature oil painting with her phone.
Uma: [Life's journey, loneliness is the norm.]
After editing the image and text, she gently clicked send.
Prompt: [Gemini app Stage will search for your soulmate at this time. Do you want to continue?]
'Soulmate? Finding a soulmate is not easy for someone like me. No one can understand my heart.' The girl smiled lightly and clicked confirm without much hope.
Then, she got up and started packing her easel, but the phone kept ringing with notifications.
Uma was a little surprised. Very few people usually contact her. When she opened her phone and the Gemini app Stage, she stood dumbfounded in the classroom under the lights. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Lonely Bear: [Your painting shows a back walking into darkness, very lonely, keeping a distance from everyone. But I noticed a few stars shining in the dark sky. I think you still have some hope in your heart, expecting a star to suddenly light up, illuminating you with starlight, making people notice.]
Starry Van Gogh: [Uma, many times I feel different from the world. I can't say things that get others' attention and even feel my existence is unnecessary. But I hope that at some point, even if just once, I can shine through my efforts. Are you like me?]
Jasmine: [One day, when you find that your emotions can't be expressed in words and you prefer to disappear into the dark streets under the starry sky gradually, that's loneliness.]
Seeing this, Uma's body trembled slightly, her nose felt sore, and she couldn't hold back her tears. She had clumsily painted over a dozen oil paintings, and no one ever understood their meaning.
She had lived a reclusive life for over ten years, and no one knew her heart longed for attention. Her cold and silent exterior deceived everyone. No one wanted to get close to her, no one understood her. She once thought that in this world, she was the only one living.
But just now, Uma suddenly realized that loneliness is individual but never unique. In an instant, she seemed to have many friends with whom she could share her heart. It also felt like she was getting attention—a deep soul resonance. She forgot the time and place, picked up her phone, and replied to the comments one by one. She moved to tears when touched, laughing with tears when happy.
She decided that the Gemini app would be her lifelong companion.
On a cross-sea bridge, a young thug leaned against the bridgehead. Cigarette butts scattered everywhere. He had just broken up. Everyone thought he was just a street thug. Carefree and reckless.
But he treasured relationships the most. This breakup cut him to the core. The sea breeze brushed his face, but he felt suffocated. He picked up his phone and took a photo of the traffic on the bridge.
Captioned: [This was our favorite place.]
After sending this picture, he lit another cigarette.
Thinking about his girlfriend, his tears and snot mixed, and he did not know if they were tears of sadness or snot from crying.
Youth Unregretted: [Sometimes love is like that. When you're planning your future together with joy, the other person is planning how to leave. There's no need to feel regret; incompatible people will always part ways.]
No Crying: [Just broke up? I'm sitting in the nightclub we used to go to, the sound system booming, but I don't want to drink a drop.]
Lost Heart: [Bro. Don't torture yourself. Give yourself a day to cry loudly, hysterically, and vent fully. Then, wake up tomorrow, dress up nicely, and tell yourself to start anew and live well. With a heart towards the sun, what is there to fear about sadness?]
Comments kept increasing. The young man held his phone, unable to hold back anymore. He cried out loud. It seemed that at this moment, all the heartbreaks in the world hit him at once.
He shakily replied with a few words: [Don't worry, I'll bounce back tomorrow!]
