Chapter Twenty-Four: Counterattack (Part II)
"Although my technology was inferior at that time, the most basic situation can still be clearly seen, and the reason for the vulnerability of the management system is actually that all the code cannot form a complete closed loop, resulting in the company crashing the system every once in a while." Xiao Yin was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so he explained it to me in a more detailed tone. "And the piece of code that Xiaolan gave me happens to be the connection point of the closed loop."
"It's really interesting." I sighed. "It's a fight to fame."
"In fact, I found the way, the solution was in an instant, and when I figured everything out, it took less than an hour to fix the loopholes, and I was typing gracefully on the keyboard, like playing a moving piano piece, sometimes melodious and sometimes frustrating, and I felt the beautiful silhouette of the future flowing under my fingertips." Xiao Yin said excitedly that although it was five years ago, he is still full of affection when he talks about it now. "Everyone in the room was dumbfounded, the whole studio didn't make any noise at all, they were like a bunch of stunned spectators.
"They must have been dumbfounded, because you can't do that in their minds." Listening to Xiao Yin's turn from danger to safety, my mood also became relaxed. I took a few stacks of finished pastries out of the cupboard and served them in delicate porcelain plates. Dusk has passed, and the night is coming, I think Xiao Yin must be a little hungry. "I originally wanted to see your jokes, but I didn't see the jokes, but I became your foil. Naturally, they have nothing to say. ”
"In fact, the most shocking person in it was Sun Lei, you don't know how ugly his face was at that time." Xiao Yin's words were very plain, without the slightest sense of pride, he reached out and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and tasted it comfortably. "He wanted to fire me for squid, but he gave me a chance to counterattack."
"If, as you said earlier, this Sun Lei should be a very narrow-minded person, then I guess he didn't embarrass you this time, and you will definitely try to torture you in every possible way."
Xiao Yin chewed the pastry slowly, and then shook his head decisively. "Liu Quan, you guessed wrong, Sun Lei is indeed a sinister entrepreneur, but since he is an entrepreneur, he has an indelible trait that is the supremacy of interests, he really hates me, but as long as I have the ability to earn him more money, he will reuse me."
This is indeed reasonable, although I don't know Sun Lei, but the tone of Huami Company is well-known to passers-by, a copycat company that does everything for money. Such a company is indeed a product of Sun Lei's management.
"Sun Lei's performance that day impressed me, he got to know me again, and he began to feel that I was not incapable, but because I had no expectations for the future of the company, I would be so decadent." Xiao Yin laughed bitterly. So he started giving me a pay raise and giving me more important things to do. Because of Xiaolan's help, my work began to get on the right track, and I soon replaced Guo Yuanming's position and became the mainstay of Huami Company. ”
"Your sudden counterattack, I think those colleagues must have changed their attitude towards you."
Xiao Yin took out a tissue, gently wiped the residue on his hands, and then sighed deeply. "Yes, when you're not happy, they're used to seeing jokes, and when you suddenly get better, they'll start flattering, and that's how people are. As my technical skills became stronger and brought greater value to the company, they began to think about building a good relationship with me, just hoping that one day I would be able to promote them when I was really promoted. There is one exception, though. ”
"Exceptions?" There are really people who don't tend to be inflammatory, which is beyond my expectations
"This exception is Guo Yuanming." Xiao Yin sighed helplessly. Because of that system repair, he didn't complete the task, and his status in the company plummeted. And I am the opposite of him, and my step by step is bound to make him feel uncomfortable. ”
"It's frustrating, but it's also frustrating. Although it is through the power of Orchid Gu, your progress is also equivalent to your own efforts, and his decline is also his own mistake, which is not to blame others. ”
"Hey." Xiao Yin's face became a little ugly. "It would be nice if he was the same, but he is not such a person, although his name is Yuanming, he has no hermit feelings, and the position that originally belonged to him was taken by me, how could he give up. Fighting with me became part of his job, and I became his imaginary enemy. ”
My experience, whether it was Beipiao at that time or the current tea shop operation, in general, was working alone, so I couldn't be deeply moved by the intrigue between colleagues. But Xiao Yin's sad eyes seemed to tell me that every step he took was not what he wanted.
"But you have Orchid Gu on your body and Xiaolan's help, how can that Guo Yuanming be your opponent?"
Xiao Yin held the teacup in the palm of his hand with a complicated expression. "Actually, if I don't have Orchid Gu with me, I definitely can't compare to Guo Yuanming, although he is a wild road programmer, but he is much stronger than me in terms of creativity and understanding, compared to him, I am just a fool. But because of Xiaolan's help, any difficulties can be solved in front of me, I keep attacking the city, and one person has developed an orchid system comparable to iOS and Android, transforming Huami Company from a copycat company to a domestic mobile phone brand. As I continued to improve, Guo Yuanming's distance from me became larger and larger, so that later, he could no longer compete with me by legitimate means. ”
What Xiao Yin said is not difficult to understand, but this legitimate means makes me unaware of it. "Can't use the right means? No matter how capable he is, he is just an ordinary employee, can he turn the sky upside down? ”
"Liu Quan, you have always lived a self-sufficient and comfortable life. I don't know how extreme human performance is? It is not surprising that a person is forced to be in a hurry, and he does anything out of the ordinary. Xiao Yin said. This Guo Yuanming came up with a poisonous plan to frame me, wanting me to be ruined. ”
"Poison scheme? It seems that it is another bloody workplace struggle. ”
"Yes, I'll tell you Liu Quan, if you finish listening to this story, you will sigh at the imagination of these technical talents." Xiao Yin looked at me with mixed tastes, and there were thousands of feelings in his heart. "During that time, I was working on a few optimization patches for the orchid system, and I came home very late, although I had accumulated a lot of property at that time, but I still lived in the basement I rented before, on the one hand, I was more nostalgic, and on the other hand, because Xiaolan had already arranged that room in an orderly manner, so I was not used to moving away, and I quickly fell asleep while lying on my familiar bed."
Xiao Yin said and slowly lit the half-smoked cigar again, and then took a hard puff. "Xiaolan lay beside me, and then told me, saying that I would encounter a big trouble tomorrow, she said that Guo Yuanming has been falsifying the evidence of my leakage of the company's core technology during this time, and tonight on my way home, Guo Yuanming has put those fake evidence in my desk drawer, and then plans to expose my crime to Sun Lei tomorrow morning, so that I will be ruined."
"Xiao Yin, I don't think this is so imaginative, I think this Guo Yuanming has watched too many movies and television, so he will come up with this outrageous bridge. Even if you really leak company secrets, I think Sun Lei will not do anything to you considering your vital role, and will only give you more benefits to appease you. ”
Xiao Yin patted my hand lightly and nodded approvingly. "Haha, Liu Quan, you can see people really accurately, I think it will be like this, but if this incident really happens, it will indeed have a great negative impact on my reputation, you know that in the profession of programmer, which is based on technology, confidentiality is related to the most basic professional ethics, and leaking company secrets will not be forgiven in principle."
"Then Xiaolan must have come up with a good coping strategy for you again, right?"
"Xiaolan asked me to strike first, she told me that Guo Yuanming's tool for committing the crime, an encrypted laptop has been locked in his office drawer, and I will sue him before Guo Yuanming accuses me tomorrow morning, so that I can turn the crisis around."
I gasped, how the fight between these two programmers sounded like that kind of spy movie full of routines, it was really ridiculous.
"I actually don't want to do this, I am very disgusted by this kind of black behavior, and I am even afraid that doing so will go against the character of the orchid and lead to the violent death of me and Xiaolan." Xiao Yin said worriedly. "But Xiaolan repeatedly reiterated to me that I was not at fault at all in this matter, it was Guo Yuanming who deliberately fabricated it and wanted to put me to death, and it is reasonable for me to defend myself in this way."
Xiao Yin said as he spoke, beads of sweat appeared on his face, he could still sweat profusely in such a winter, it could be seen that he was really anxious in his heart. "I had no choice but to arrive at the company an hour early the next day, and then found the boss as soon as he came to the company, and reported to him the evidence I had. Because in last night's dream, Xiaolan taught me everything I was going to say and let me rehearse it in advance, so my report that morning could be said to be foolproof and there were no loopholes at all. ”
"That'...... The result? "I don't know why, there is a little fear in my heart, before Orchid Gu only helped Xiao Yin improve himself, and would not interfere in other people's lives, but now it has reached the point of assisting Xiao Yin in the workplace struggle, I just can't help but imagine that while Xiao Yin is rising all the way, there are still many people who have fallen into Xiao Yin's hands.
Xiao Yin gasped like me, then took out a tissue and began to wipe his sweat-soaked cheeks. "The result can be imagined, Guo Yuanming has not sued me, Sun Lei took the security guard to knock on his drawer directly, and found the laptop that he forged my leak evidence, Sun Lei was furious and ordered Guo Yuanming to get out immediately. This former top brand of Huami Company, the seed player of Zhongguancun, did not expect to fall into the situation of being fired by the company, hey...... It's embarrassing. ”
I could feel that Xiao Yin was really annoyed, looking at every tense muscle on his face, I knew that he was still haunted by this matter to this day.
"Actually, it's also my fault, I shouldn't have completely listened to Xiaolan in this matter, maybe there is a better solution."
"It's nothing, he did something like that, and it is understandable that he was fired." I smiled and comforted. "It's not a lot of punishment for him."
Xiao Yin shook his head, and then drank a few large cups of tea, and the sweat on his face accumulated more and more. "It's not as simple as you think, Liu Quan, I don't know if you have the impression that two years ago there was such a news, saying that a programmer in Zhongguancun committed suicide due to depression."
"Programmer...... Suicide...... It does seem like it's a bit impressive, but it seems like it's more than one piece of news, and I feel like I've seen a lot of similar news on the Internet. ”
Among the programmers who committed suicide were...... Including Guo Yuanming! ”
I shuddered, my hands trembled, and the teacup toppled over on the table. The steaming tea burned my hands red. "This ...... Did this man commit suicide? ”
"yes...... And it has a very direct connection with the incident that day, after the incident in his east window that day, Sun Lei not only fired him, but also revealed his crime to the entire circle. Xiao Yin's tone became a lot of grumbling as he spoke, and his voice was much weaker. If you have a bad reputation in the circle, it is equivalent to your permanent unemployment in this field, and no other mobile phone manufacturers dare to accept him. ”
"This Sun Lei! It's cruel. ”
"Finding a job is probably a common thing if you put it to other people, because there are so many unemployed people in Beijing. But this matter is a fatal injury to a genius who has always been competitive and has a good reputation, Guo Yuanming...... He couldn't stand this huge gap between the high and the low, so he ...... So on a winter night like today, I committed suicide by taking sleeping pills. ”
I involuntarily covered my ears and didn't dare to listen any further. But the gap between the fingers still penetrated Xiao Yin's voice.
"He was only found by the landlord a week after his death, and by that time his body was slightly decomposed......"
"That's enough......" I hurriedly stopped Xiao Yin and motioned for him not to say any more, because this story was already a little difficult to swallow by this time. Xiao Yin, I don't want to hear it anymore. ”
Xiao Yin's story came to an abrupt end, the tea room fell into a brief silence, and I glanced out the window, the night was suffocatingly dark. Only the dim streetlights were constantly shooting a chaotic stream of snowflakes.
"Actually...... Actually, it's not your fault......" I forced my composure and tried to calm down. "It's your boss Sun Lei who is too extreme and too unkind."
