Chuanshanjia Software's "Great Wall" security system was finally selected by the Shenzhen Municipal Government as the solution for upgrading the network security system, while Yuhong's "Red Shield" system, which was previously widely favored by the industry, was eliminated.

After learning the news, Liu Zhibin uncharacteristically invited Lin Junnan to a coffee house near the company and found a secluded corner to sit down. He asked the waiter for two cups of coffee, sighed to Lin Junnan and said:

"I've never had the slightest doubt about you, even now!, and frankly, I've never interfered with you, your team, or the progress of your project. Moreover, I myself have been tilting the focus of the company's operation towards you, and I want money for the 'Red Shield' project and people for people. In fact, what you have achieved in the early stage has given me hope, and I even prepared a huge red envelope for you! But the result is so full of uncertainties! And it is so shocking!"

Lin Junnan sat silently and said nothing. He was never able to accept the fact that the "Red Shield" was defeated by the "Great Wall". This is the latest generation of security software that he and his team have developed for more than a year, reaching the international leading level! And he is clear about the situation of the "Great Wall" system of the pangolin company, it only belongs to the upgraded version of the previous generation of software, whether it is compared in concept or practical application, the "Great Wall" and "Red Shield" are not at the same level at all!

"There's one thing I don't understand," Liu Zhibin continued, "I have a friend who is a technical consultant hired by the bidding office, and he told me that the reason why the 'Great Wall' of the pangolin wins is because it also has the core function of the 'red shield', which has never been heard of in the industry before! Or your team's self-developed security system, there should not be any similar software on the market to refer to and learn from, I don't doubt your sense of confidentiality and professional ethics, in this case, how did the pangolin make the 'Great Wall' surpass the 'Red Shield' in just a few weeks?!"

Lin Junnan looked at Liu Zhibin, what the latter said was exactly what he was thinking in his heart at this moment!

"Do you remember what I told you last time?" Liu Zhibin leaned on the back of the sofa to keep his body as relaxed as possible, "I have long heard that some people plan to use some non-market means to influence this bidding, so I asked you to communicate with the bidding office and express their attitude, hoping that they will adhere to fairness and justice." Now it seems that those rumors are really not groundless!"

Liu Zhibin's words reminded Lin Junnan, and he suddenly remembered Xu Yuan's failure to make an appointment that day, and he couldn't make an appointment with this fellow again-could it be that Xu Yuan was deliberately avoiding himself, right?

"Mr. Liu," Lin Junnan said, "can you give me a few days? I want to figure this out!"

"The reason why I invited you here to chat today is because I don't want you to carry psychological baggage for this matter!" Liu Zhibin showed a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "Although this business is yellow, Yuhong is still Yuhong! We still have a lot of things to do in the future! Besides, you don't know, I have been friends with Zhao Dongliang of Pangolin for many years - I have already called him last night to congratulate him! So, this matter is over in your heart, let it pass!" If the government can't get this business, there is still a lot of room for the domestic market! Don't get entangled anymore!"

Liu Zhibin called the waiter, signed the order, patted Lin Junnan lightly on the shoulder, and got up to leave. Lin Junnan said that he wanted to be alone and quiet, so he didn't leave immediately. He stared at the coffee in front of him, his eyes straightened—

In Lin Junnan's view, the message expressed by Liu Zhibin's previous words seems to be a little inconsistent with the final open-minded attitude. Lin Junnan was worried that maybe Liu Zhibin had some kind of distrust or even suspicion of him, and he didn't want to pull down his face, so he deliberately chose such a private environment to knock on him to test him. However, he always felt that this time Yuhong lost to the pangolin, he had to take responsibility no matter what, and it was also necessary to figure things out, only in this way could he give an account to the company, the team and even himself.

Lin Junnan was determined to ask Xu Yuan what was going on, but after he made several phone calls in a row, the other party was either busy or hung up, so he simply stood guard outside the community where Xu Yuan lived before going to work in the morning. Finally waited for Xu Yuan's car to drive out, Lin Junnan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop it, and before the car could stop, he pulled the car door and sat in the passenger cab.

"Eh, Lin Junnan...... What are you doing here?" asked Xu Yuan with a long face.

"It's harder to see you than to see the premier of the State Council, Section Chief Xu!" Lin Junnan said angrily in his hometown dialect, "I didn't answer so many calls, I had to block you here!"

"Oh, this ...... I've been very busy lately!" Xu Yuan said irritably, "I still have to rush to a meeting, you can tell me something quickly!"

"I'll just say a few words to you! If you still think I'm a fellow, give me a minute!"

Xu Yuan sighed and said helplessly: "I know what you want to say!" Lin Junnan, the bidding has already ended, what else do you want to ask? Besides, Yuhong has been competing with the pangolin for so many years, don't you also win against them! Oh, you can't bear losing to the pangolin this time?!"

"If the Pangolins really won this project with their 'Great Wall' system, I think it's incredible!"

"We're fellow countrymen, I can't lie to you. But I'm a person who holds a public job, and I can't do anything that violates my principles. It's really hard to be a man!Brother!" Xu Yuan patted Lin Junnan on the shoulder, "Don't worry about it anymore!

"Then let me ask one last question, do you really think that the 'Great Wall' is better than the 'Red Shield'?"

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and said seriously: "I can answer this question responsibly, the 'Great Wall' and the 'Red Shield' are really comparable, and from the perspective of the design of the software, it is like a teacher from the same door! They are two very perfect network security systems! You will not be skeptical of the experts invited by the government, right?!"

"Is that really the case?!"

Lin Junnan felt that his brain had instantly turned blank, as if his consciousness had left his body. He opened the car door in a trance, stepped out, and walked forward along the sidewalk, so that Xu Yuan shouted something behind him, and he didn't know it.

Xu Yuan's evaluation of the "Great Wall" system surprised Lin Junnan a lot. Liu Zhibin's words lingered in his ears again. Did the pangolin really master the same technology as the 'Red Shield', or was his 'Red Shield' really plagiarized?

Perhaps, Liu Zhibin asked him to drink coffee, just to hint at something to him......

Suddenly, Lin Junnan remembered something - could all this be related to the poisoning of his portable computer that day?

It's all a coincidence!

First of all, Sun Kai repeatedly proposed to go to Zhong Yi's house to play cards, and then he was anxious to ask Sissi to help him check his email, and it happened that his computer was malfunctioning again, so Sissi had to use my computer to log in to Sun Kai's mailbox, and the email Sun Kai received was hiding a Trojan virus......

Lin Junnan couldn't help but shudder!

"Is it Sissi? or Sun Kai? Or, is it two people joining forces?......"

The shadows of these two people repeatedly appeared in Lin Junnan's mind, and he quickly analyzed: "The most likely person to steal the 'Red Shield' from me is Sun Kai. But he didn't participate in the Pangolin's 'Great Wall' project team at all, what could he get by doing such a thing?! Also, if it was really Sun Kai's doing, then how did he use Sissi to achieve the purpose of stealing the 'Red Shield'?!"

The more Lin Junnan thought about it, the more terrifying he felt, and there was a chill on his back!

For several days, Lin Junnan was paying attention to Sun Kai's every move. The old teasing and banter between the two is gone, as if something is blocking their hearts.

Sun Kai didn't seem to be able to find any topics to talk to Lin Junnan, and the longer the time, the more difficult it was to speak. In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend again, Sun Kai seemed to be unable to help it, and he walked into Lin Junnan's room while Sissi was out shopping.

Lin Junnan was playing a game boringly, and when he saw that Sun Kai seemed to have something to say to him, he took off his headphones and turned around.

"You didn't go out?" Lin Junnan took the initiative to say hello. Although he had a lot of doubts about Sun Kai in his heart, before the matter was completely clarified, he didn't want to cause a discordant relationship between the two due to his suspicions.

Sun Kai stood in front of Lin Junnan and said, "I see that your mood has not been high these days, I think it must be the reason why Yuhong did not win the bid." You've been busy with this project for more than a year, and it's over, so naturally you can't let it go, and I understand that. In fact, if you want me to say, this is an experience in your life, since it's all in the past, forget about it!"

Sun Kai's words made Lin Junnan feel guilty in his heart, and he thought: "Am I suspected of stealing the axe? Is it just because Sun Kai is a pangolin, or just because Sun Kai asked Qian Qian to help him collect emails that day and caused my computer to be poisoned, can I suspect that he stole the 'red shield'? Since he can take the initiative to comfort me, it means that his heart should be open! Seeing that he had nothing to say a few days ago, I thought he was a thief, but now it seems that this is still my own reason!"

"I'm nothing. Lin Junnan closed the computer, smiled bitterly, and rubbed his hands vigorously on his face, as if to eliminate the fatigue on his face. "It's just that I haven't eased up for the time being, I'm sorry!"

"Don't blame me for being straight, it's not that you lost money in business! Even if Yuhong wins the bid, will the trajectory of your Lin Junnan's life be completely changed?!

"Come on!" Lin Junnan pushed Sun Kai and smiled faintly, "You have finally found a balance with me!"

"Even if you don't smile, you're better than your bitter gourd face!" Sun Kai saw that Lin Junnan seemed to have recovered his state, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He knew that only if he behaved as usual, Lin Junnan would dispel his suspicions about him. He shrugged his shoulders and proposed, "Since you are alive, why don't you call Sissi out to eat at noon." How?"

"Didn't Sissi go shopping?"

"Didn't she go out when she saw your dead look and felt awkward to stay in the house?!" Sun Kai took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, opened it, and stuffed it back in, "Let's go! I'll call Sissi." ”

Lin Junnan cleaned up briefly, and when his hand touched the computer, it was as if he had touched a piece of red-hot iron, and the burning sensation instantly penetrated his entire chest! He was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses, changed his clothes, and followed Sun Kai out.

Sun Kai found a Hunan restaurant, and when he entered the door, he saw that there was just one table left, so he pushed Lin Junnan and walked over. Not long after she sat down, Sissi came over with a big smile on her face. Sun Kai asked her to accompany Lin Junnan to chat for a while, and he ordered food, and then asked the waiter to bring up a case of beer, Lin Junnan looked at it and shouted:

"Why did you take so much?

"Oh! It's not in the way if you leave it here! Drink as much as you want! Anyway, we're not short of money!" Sun Kai said with a grin.

In Shenzhen, the business of Hunan restaurants is booming everywhere. Especially near the "urban village", it is crowded with guests on weekends. Lin Junnan's dishes were not served yet, and there were already three or four groups of diners waiting in line at the door.

Lin Junnan said with a smile: "Sun Kai, have you seen those people at the door? People will see our box of beer, and their heads will be big! How long will we have to wait!"

"If you come, you will be safe! Just eat well, why don't you other people's idle minds!"

Sun Kai's inadvertent words always sounded a little uncomfortable to Lin Junnan.

Lin Junnan and Sun Kai have been classmates in college for four years, and now they have eaten and lived together for more than a year, so they understand Sun Kai's personality. He knew that Sun Kai looked a little arrogant and informal, but he was actually very scheming. As long as he is in front of outsiders, Sun Kai's speech and behavior will appear very appropriate and can give people a kind of affinity, but between the two of them, Sun Kai often can't help but show a kind of loneliness, indifference or selfishness. This is Lin Junnan's evaluation of Sun Kai in his heart.

When the dish was served, Sun Kai opened three bottles of beer, put one bottle each in front of Lin Junnan and Qianqian, and said to Qianqian: "You can have a bottle too!" Don't worry, I promise to only let you drink this bottle!"

Lin Junnan observed the actions of the two, he took the initiative to pick up the wine bottle, poured himself a full glass, raised his glass and said: "Sun Kai, thank you! After saying that, he took a deep sip.

"It's rare that I'm the east today, how can you not let go of the drink?!" Sun Kai picked up the wine bottle in front of Sissi, poured half a glass into her cup, and then picked up his own bottle and poured it into his own cup. "To tell you the truth, handsome man, I really feel depressed when I see you these days! Sometimes I even think, how can it be that the pangolin won the bid?!" He tilted his neck and poured a glass of wine, wiped the remaining foam from the corner of his mouth, and continued, "Do you know Junnan? As an old classmate, I feel just as uncomfortable as you! So, I have to talk to you today!"

"No, it's not!" Lin Junnan smiled, "You were still persuading me to let go of this matter just now, why did you provoke it first?!"

"There are some things that can't be said without saying it!" Sun Kai poured another glass of wine and touched Lin Junnan's wine glass, "I've been thinking about one thing these days, that is, Qian Qian accidentally got poisoned when she used your computer that day, I don't think it was that Trojan horse who stole your information, right?!If that's the case, I really can't forgive myself!"

"Eh......" Lin Junnan's heart suddenly seemed to be touched by something. It was as if a voice sounded in his ears - how could Sun Kai think that it was the cause of the Trojan virus......?!

Lin Junnan's mind was messed up again all of a sudden......
