2010, midsummer, Shenzhen.

Lin Junnan was outside the exit of the subway station of the Convention and Exhibition Center, looking at the non-stop taxis and buses shuttling on the road, and he had been standing for nearly 30 minutes. The sun was hot near noon, and the asphalt on the road was baked into a heat wave, and even if you stood in the shade of the trees, you could not feel a trace of shade.

His shirt was soaking wet!

In the past year as the project director of the R&D department of Yuhong Technology Company, although the boss Liu Zhibin has given full trust to Lin Junnan and never overstepped his responsibilities to inquire about the progress of the project, he still feels great pressure. Especially at present, Lin Junnan and his team are going all out to win a large order worth more than 10 million yuan - Shenzhen Municipal Government Network Security System Upgrade Project, and he has devoted all his energy to this. At present, the "Red Shield" system developed by their team has passed the final test and verification, and the industry is unanimously optimistic about its advantages in this bidding.

Despite this, Lin Junnan still knew in his heart that Yuhong's biggest competitor in this project was precisely the pangolin software company where his old classmate and current roommate Sun Kai worked.

In recent years, Yuhong and Pangolin, a pair of "enemies", have fought many times in the market, and it is difficult to distinguish them. According to insiders in the company, the reason why Pangolin can compete with Yuhong is largely due to the government's resources, specifically, a government official is an invisible shareholder of Pangolin. But this is just everyone's teeth after dinner, Lin Junnan didn't confirm it, and of course he didn't plan to confirm it at all.

Usually he and Sun Kai never talk about this kind of lace gossip, in addition to each burying their heads in their own things, they are happy as usual in their spare time, and they can't see a trace of tension and restraint brought about by being competitors. Their relaxation and calmness also touched the girl Wang Qianqian who shared the house.

Lin Junnan and Sun Kai were classmates in college, and Qian Qian was their alumnus. After graduation, the three of them worked hard in Shenzhen for two years, but they didn't know each other, until they met by chance in a real estate agency company in order to rent a house, and they got together.

It is also very interesting to say that there is a great contrast between the appearance of Lin Junnan and Sun Kai: the former is more than 1.8 meters tall, with a dark complexion, and is strong and strong; the latter is only about 1.65 meters, with fair skin and a thin body, and in the words of Sissi, he is like a "little sapling"! In terms of age, Lin Junnan is half a year younger than Sun Kai, but in the eyes of others, most people will make the opposite judgment; Lin Junmen is gentle and rarely spoken, while Sun Kai is lively and cheerful, funny and humorous.

Lin Junnan has always had a crush on Sissi in his heart, but he never dared to confess to her because he was shy, while Sun Kai was very good at pleasing Sissi, everything went according to her heart, and even knew her preferences better than Sissi herself.

Lin Junnan and Sun Kai seem to understand each other's hearts, but they don't take the lead in picking them up, and they seem to just go with the flow and tacit understanding with each other......

About two hours ago, Lin Junnan received a phone call from Liu Zhibin, saying that judging from the current situation, the software provider for the city's network security system upgrade is likely to be between Yuhong and Chuanshanjia. However, according to the information just received, the relevant departments in the city seem to be more interested in the solution of the pangolin, and it is still difficult to determine how much impact this will have on Yuhong. Liu Zhibin asked Lin Junnan to immediately communicate with the government's bidding office, make his attitude clear, and ask the government to uphold a fair position in the bidding process. Lin Junnan immediately called the mobile phone of Xu Yuan, section chief of the Municipal Bidding Office, but the other party did not answer, and replied to the text message that he was holding a meeting outside and agreed to meet here at half past eleven.

Xu Yuan and Lin Junnan are both from Ningjiang City, Jiangxi, and with this level of fellow villagers, Lin Junnan is much more relaxed and easy-going when dealing with him. But after all, Xu Yuan is the main staff member of the government bidding department, so Lin Junnan will pay more or less attention to proportion.

After Lin Junnan arrived at the place specified in Xu Yuan's phone on time, he waited under the baking of the heat wave, but Xu Yuan did not show up for a long time. He had to call Xu Yuan's phone again, but the other party still didn't answer.

A few minutes later, Lin Junnan received a text message from Xu Yuan, apologetically saying that he couldn't come because of something temporary, and he would call back again. Lin Junnan was helpless, he was going to take advantage of the subway to return to the company, to see that the shirt on his body was already soaked, thinking that this place was not far from his residence anyway, so it was better to go back to take a shower first, change clothes, and then go to the company in the afternoon.

He stopped a taxi, got in the car, and sent a text message to Xu Yuan, explaining his intention. Xu Yuan quickly replied, saying that there was no need to worry about the bidding, that some rumors about pangolins were purely false, and that there should be no doubt about the fairness and impartiality of the city government in the bidding process for the project.

Lin Junnan's rental house is located in an "urban village" in the south of Futian, where hundreds of small buildings are scattered and scattered, the roads are chaotic and winding, and people on motorcycles or bicycles walk through the narrow alleys at will.

Back at the rental house, Lin Junnan took out the key to open the security door, and as soon as he pushed the door, he was startled by a scream - Sissi was standing in the middle of the living room with her face covered, she was wearing only a pink bra and a pair of lace briefs, and her snow-white skin was particularly eye-catching......

Lin Junnan was stunned, like a stake.

It was Sissi who reacted first, she quickly ran into her bedroom, slammed the door shut, and fastened it from the inside.

"Why did you suddenly run back?!" Sissi sneered through the door.

"I'm here to do something...... It's too hot, I want to come back and take a shower and then go to the company......" Lin Junnan explained in a panic, muttering in his heart: Even if you are home alone, you can't dress like this!

Sissi works as a financial auditor in a foreign company, and because the company is very close to her residence, she basically comes back at noon every day to rest. The two companies of Yuhong and Pangolin are relatively far away, and Lin Junnan and Sun Kai have never been willing to toss back and forth, so as long as Qianqian comes back at noon, this place will naturally become her alone. Over time, she developed the habit of being free at home at noon, which is why today's accident happened.

Sissi put on a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, opened the door and came out, her cheeks still red.

"It's so hot! I've just taken a shower......," she said, her eyes darting back and forth on the ground, apparently not quite shaken off the shock and embarrassment she had just seen.

"Oh......" Lin Junnan agreed, passed by her with his head down, and walked into his room, as if he didn't dare to look at her anymore.

Lin Junnan belongs to the "big boy" type of person, and he rarely looks at female colleagues when he usually talks to them in the company, especially in the summer, when those girls often wear thin clothes, he feels even more embarrassed. Originally, Sissi was also a relatively conservative girl, even at home, she always appeared in front of two men in trousers or long skirts, and her words and deeds were never pretentious. Therefore, today's sudden "encounter" really made Lin Junnan's heart flutter for a while......

Lin Junnan hurriedly took a shower, changed into a T-shirt, and when he went out, he found that Sissi had left at some point. He thought to himself that this would be fine, so as to save both of them from feeling embarrassed.

He soaked a bowl of instant noodles, ate a casual meal, and hurried back to the company.
