Chapter Twenty-Three: Counterattack (I)
Xiao Yin told the story very thoroughly, and looking at his colorful appearance, he knew that none of this was groundless.
I also picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the black tea that had been brewed for a long time was filled with a bitter taste, although it was not delicious, but it could refresh me.
Xiao Yin stopped talking, and I finally had time to rest for a while. Outside the window, it was already dusk, and the winter dusk was particularly vivid, and the snow in the sky was like a prelude to the bleak night.
In the past five years, I have also tried to guess what kind of form the orchid Gu will be? Today, I learned that Orchid Gu turned out to be in the form of a woman, which was enough to amaze me, and Xiao Yin still had so many lingering entanglements with this girl, which made this story seem incredible, this is not the form of Gu poison in my impression at all.
"So this girl named Xiaolan is the power behind you, and she is your 'virtuous helper'." ”
Xiao Yin nodded, a satisfied smile on his face. "It was Xiaolan who completely changed me, changed my personality, and changed my future. So for all my achievements today, Xiaolan is the real creator. ”
Xiao Yin...... I don't know if it's appropriate or inappropriate, but there's one question that I really feel like I'm stuck in my throat without asking it clearly. ”
"Even if you ask, I am willing to go back to my hometown for a special trip, just to tell you all the stories, and you can ask me what I know."
I swallowed the bitter tea, then cleared my throat. "I want to ask, is this Xiaolan a real girl, or is it just an illusion in your mind?"
The reason why I asked such a strange question is because the image of Xiaolan that Xiao Yin just described, as well as the scene where he met Xiaolan, seemed to be a dream. Isn't a girl who can only be seen in a dream a part of a dream?
"It's not a hard question to answer." Xiao Yin smiled relievedly. "Actually, I have also wondered if this little orchid is really the orchid, is she a god or a random imagination in my mind? But when I wake up every day and find out that I have changed, I feel that it doesn't matter whether Xiaolan is real or not, because she has long been my spiritual support. Liu Quan, in fact, the story I told just now was just the first night I met Xiaolan, and in the days that followed, we would meet in our dreams every night to spend the Spring Festival together, and she also gave me a lot of good advice. ”
When Xiao Yin said the four words of spiritual support, I had a feeling that Xiao Yin's own intelligence could fully support him to achieve his career, and the essential reason for his inaction before was nothing more than the lack of a spiritual support, the lack of a person to accompany him, and Xiaolan's appearance just made up for this gap.
"What else did Xiaolan help you after that? Brother, can you elaborate on it for me? ”
"She has helped me with so many things, so I'll pick out three interesting things to tell you." Xiao Yin put down the teacup and slowly took out a cigarette case from his jacket pocket, the silver box looked particularly bright in the sunset, Xiao Yin pressed it lightly, and it popped open, only a cigar and a pocket scissors inside. "I'm sorry, but in the past few years, because of my busy schedule, I have learned to smoke, especially when I am sleepy, I feel weak when I don't smoke a cigarette."
He twisted the thick cigar, the brown coat was like the color of the story after it had been fermented, and the pocket scissors stopped at the 2cm position, and with a light touch, the tobacco was scattered.
"On the night we met, she did me a great favor in addition to transforming my appearance." Xiao Yin puffed on the smoke and said slowly. "Actually, the boss was about to fire me the next day, and Xiaolan foresaw all this, so she told me a piece of programming code."
"Programming code?" I don't know anything about programming, but I generally know how it works, and I've seen a friend write a program, and it's a really complicated process. The dense English and numbers are like pieces of dismembered corpses, which makes people feel sick to watch.
"That's right, Xiaolan told me an intricate piece of programming code, and told me to remember even if I die, saying that it will definitely come in handy tomorrow." Xiao Yin replied solemnly. "I'm starting to think it's completely impossible for me, even a genius can hardly remember what is in a dream, let alone a complex piece of code. But after a few attempts, I found that I had memorized them all. ”
"It seems that you still have to be smarter than ordinary people, after all, you are also a top student of Tsinghua University." I simply flattered him, but it wasn't actually flattery, because in my heart I had never doubted Xiao Yin's ability.
"Liu Quan, don't be kidding." Xiao Yin smiled bitterly, he put down his cigar, and the smoke ring stumbled to the roof. "I've been so decadent these years, my head has long been useless, and sometimes the boss in the company gives me a task in the morning, and I may forget it in the afternoon. The reason why I was able to remember that code in my dreams was because the dream was really different from the dreams we usually had, and I found that in that dream my head became extremely flexible, and I could almost reach the state of ten lines at a glance. ”
To be honest, I've seen the world, and I often have weird dreams, but no matter how special they are, I will inevitably forget most of them when I wake up. Xiao Yin was able to see ten lines at a glance in a dream, which is really unheard of.
"Did this code really help you the next day?"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yin's mouth, and that smile seemed to be a kind of pride and a kind of satisfaction. "The next day, the boss had already sent a notice to all employees in the morning, saying that they were going to hold a formal meeting, and I knew that the so-called meeting was actually a criticism meeting, and several employees, including me, would be kicked out. But that day, the management system of all the company's computers suddenly collapsed for some reason, and the whole company fell into a state of paralysis. ”
"Is this also what Xiaolan did?"
"I don't know this, whether Xiaolan has the ability to change the real world has always been a mystery, but it doesn't matter to me, the company program paralysis not only saved me from losing my job, but also provided me with a chance to get back on my life." Xiao Yin suddenly became excited, recalling the situation that day, he was inevitably a little excited. "It was a thrilling battle."
"That's just a piece of code......" I asked rhetorically, a little awkwardly.
"Brother, you can't imagine that the situation that day was really twists and turns, the company's system was paralyzed, which was equivalent to giving the company's programmers an on-site exercise, how to fix the company's system faster, that is bound to win the favor of the boss." Xiao Yin said vividly, he has really changed too much over the years, and now listening to him makes people feel full of desire to listen.
I nodded in agreement. "That's right, if you help the company fix the system at once, then I think this boss will not only fire you, but will also reuse you."
Xiao Yin took a hard puff of his cigar, and this puff of smoke seemed to carry endless unwillingness. "But brother, do you know? I didn't have the courage to stand up and repair the company's system at that time, to be honest, don't think that I really lived up to the name when I went to Tsinghua University, in fact, I didn't listen to the lectures well when I was in college, and I was also a fool after work, so my business ability was really stretched. ”
"So how did things go next? Someone has to step up and fix it. ”
"That's natural, who would miss such an opportunity, and to be honest, the reason why I don't dare to stand up is that I am too bad, the company's management system is not complicated, but anyone who is a programmer of some level can easily solve it, so the elite in the company is eager to try." Xiao Yin said with feeling. "I vaguely remember my boss Sun Lei's expression when he looked at me, it was so mocking and disdainful, and that look was like saying to me, look, Xiao Yin, you are not as good as an ordinary employee of my company as a graduate of a famous school."
"Hey......" I frowned. So many people must have solved the problem quickly, right? ”
"This is also the most bizarre part of this matter, I thought that any programmer could solve this problem, but the system vulnerability that day was surprisingly serious, dozens of people were busy all morning, and still did not fix the system. By noon, the boss was very angry, thinking that the meeting he had scheduled had been delayed endlessly, and that he had no face in front of me, a prospective unemployed. Xiao Yin leaned back in his seat and laughed helplessly. I know what he thinks, he wants to make me feel that this Huami company is full of talents, and I was fired because my skills are not as good as others, not that this company is of inferior grade, and it is a good thing to be squid. ”
I laughed along. "Then this boss Sun Lei is really unlucky, and dozens of people in this company can't solve a system problem, isn't it really a low-grade evaluation."
Five years ago, this Huami company could be summarized as the king of cottages, and it was really notorious.
"Yes, so this Boss Sun hurriedly called his number one expert, Guo Yuanming, and asked him to rush back to Beijing from other places by plane."
"Who is this Guo Yuanming?"
Xiao Yin was silent for a moment, and his eyes flashed with a trace of reluctance and sympathy. "Hey, this Guo Yuanming, from a technical point of view, is indeed a genius, this person has never learned computer and programming before, he was just an Internet addict teenager before, but then he read books and groped to sum up a set of his own programming methods, in the past few years of Huami Company, this person was once recognized as the pillar of the company."
The sky slowly darkened, and the ice and snow combined with the darkness of the night, the already extreme cold became even more bitter at the moment. I stood up and lowered the roller shutter door outside the tea house in the grass and trees, and at this time, I don't think there will be any more customers coming to drink tea and buy tea.
As soon as I closed the door, the room instantly warmed up, and I immediately turned the air conditioner in the house to the highest temperature, in fact, I usually go home at this time, but today is different, Xiao Yin's story I want to listen to anyway, because he has aroused my greatest curiosity.
"Then this Guo Yuanming must be able to solve this loophole." I took a sip of tea and asked slowly. "You said that this is your company's top brand, presumably he won't be the same as those rookies."
"I thought the same way at first, but this Guo Yuanming didn't know if it was because he was in a bad state that day, or if the system vulnerability was really too serious, in short, it took two hours after Guo Yuanming arrived at the company and failed to fix the vulnerability. Angry gritted his teeth and sweated. ”
"This ...... So what is your boss's attitude at this time? He didn't get angry. "I do have a mentality of not caring about myself and wanting to see the excitement, because if all the employees in my company can't solve a basic problem, then I will definitely lose face.
"Boss Sun is a short-tempered person, but he always listens to the employees he admires the most, in other words, the employees who can bring the greatest benefits to the company, and he can't bear to reprimand. Guo Yuanming is his little padded jacket and his cash cow, so he naturally doesn't dare to be angry with Guo Yuanming. When Xiao Yin said this, he slowly extinguished the cigar, and he could see that he was feeling a little sentimental. The boss began to look for a punching bag, and the first thing he thought of was me, and it was understandable to think that I had always brought any real benefits to the company, and he said that he was hiring me rather than employing the name of Tsinghua University. So I haven't had much status all along, and I'm about to be fired, so it's understandable to be angry with me. ”
He ...... Did he make fun of you? ”
Xiao Yin smiled bitterly twice. "It's not just sarcasm, he just wants to force me to commit suicide, he said loudly, Xiao Yin! Look at the people in our company are doing their best for this, what are you doing! You don't have a sense of teamwork, do you? Good! I'll give you one hour to fix this loophole, or you'll get out! ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but slap the table and make a muffled sound. "This! This is also too much. ”
I don't think it's too much to expel Xiao Yin, according to Xiao Yin, it is reasonable to expel him. I just feel like I'm going to fire an employee, so why bother to ridicule him again? It is to forgive people and forgive talents.
"yes, my face was red with anger." Xiao Yin also became excited, his brows were deeply locked, and his eyes widened, which reminded me of his appearance when I confronted the head teacher. "But it was a miracle, and that's when it happened."
"Miracle?"
"yes, that's a miracle." Xiao Yin replied. "I walked up to the console and started to pound on the keyboard with trepidation, and I didn't have to wait for an hour to do, so I fiddled with it symbolically twice, and then I threw in the towel and walked away, so that everyone was not embarrassed. However, I suddenly realized that the bug in this program seemed to be a problem that I could fix. ”
"Can you fix it? Didn't you say you've been messing around all those years? ”
"I really can't solve it with my own ability, and the reason why I can do it is only because I know the mystery in advance, to be precise, the code that Xiaolan asked me to memorize is the mystery of the vulnerability."
