Chapter 20: Rolland's Trial in Absentia
"Prevent high-tech surveillance every day, but we don't guard against this low-tech despicable means! What's the use of you saying he's eavesdropping on me? Not long after Lin π Ke and the others left, Lu Haoyue received a message from him.
"He's a weird guy!" Lu Haoyue replied: "We will be lazy in our study and work, he never will, he always learns the things taught by Qingyue before me, and after learning, he also practices more diligently than me." Now he writes most of the things we eat, he also writes about currencies, currencies of all countries, and recently he has started to write about Bitcoin. ”
Lu Haoyue noticed Luo Lang's unusual tightness from the beginning of his work, and his dedication as if the sky was about to collapse in the next second, but the more people he was in, the more he had to pretend to be no different from others, and he also mixed in the crowd as usual to drink and skewer, just don't talk much, like half an invisible person.
At first, Lu Haoyue thought that he wanted to pretend to be a genius who was excellent even if he didn't work hard, but gradually found that he didn't seem to have any vanity, and he didn't show his programming level to others at all, and even in front of Xu Qianqian, Lou Wanyan, Bu Mengxian, and Bu Mengjun, who had just entered the development and testing department, he was very modest and low-key, and often had a deliberate sense of wanting to blend into the background.
Lu Haoyue is also a low-key person, but she feels that Luo Lang's low-key is very different from herself - unlike herself, Luo Lang's low-key has no shyness in it, and he always seems to be enduring the volcano that is about to erupt in his heart. Every time Shi Qingyue came to guide them, Lu Haoyue could feel a faint resentment coming from Luo Lang's direction.
Lu Haoyue checked Luo Lang's code with the idea of carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years, and she found a strange thing - Luo Lang often writes down some redundant code, and does not add any comments, Lu Haoyue will not be able to see what these extra codes are used for a while, but his code can always pass various tests, Lu Haoyue is also very busy, so he didn't delve too deeply into this matter, and he didn't have time to report to Shi Qingyue.
"Tomorrow at noon, the six of us will have a small meeting at Du Yu's house, don't leak it to anyone." Lin π sent a notice.
Lu Haoyue replied: "Don't worry! Don't think about being sad, go to bed early. ”
Lin π sent a goodnight emoji.
Lu Haoyue, who ended the conversation with Lin π, was not affected by the Luo Lang incident at all - she was a little happy, in fact, the more things she faced together, the closer her relationship with Lin π Ke could get - Lu Haoyue knew very well in her heart that although she was the most inconspicuous among the girls in the group, she was obviously the smartest, and her personality was also stable, and she was the most able to give Lin π ideas the most, so she was afraid that things would not make a big deal now, and if it was a big deal, Lin π Ke would definitely be able to talk to her every day, and say good night to her every night, thinking of this, Lu Haoyue laughed out loud in the quilt.
However, Lu Haoyue carefully tasted his selfishness, and felt that it was not kind, he should still focus on the collective interests, if this group could not exist, he and Lin π would most likely return to the ordinary table relationship where there was not much to talk about. Thinking of this, Lu Haoyue suddenly remembered that she was now also a person who could customize her appearance, maybe she could make her face more beautiful, and she could have a lot to talk to Lin π without working so hard?
So Lu Haoyue immediately got up and pinched a face as beautiful as Si Chenxin and Wen Di for herself.
Sitting in front of the mirror and intoxicated for a long time, Lu Haoyue felt a sadness out of nowhere-if Lin π Ke likes a random and changeable hue, is it still worth liking like this?
I still hope that he will like me as I am, Lu Haoyue said to herself, and then restored her freshly pinched face to its original state, forcing herself to stop the meaningless sadness, and carefully sealed every bit and smile about Lin π Ke today in the permanent storage area, and then fell asleep peacefully.
At noon the next day, Lu Haoyue finished eating the breakfast that her aunt left in the kitchen, and when she was about to go out after washing her face, she suddenly realized that she was too simple in the mirror, so she picked a very light nude makeup from the self-contained makeup of the body transformation, and then changed into the goose yellow knee-length dress that her aunt bought for her a few days ago, and felt that she was much cuter than usual, and finally went out with confidence.
Downstairs at Du Yu's house, Lu Haoyue met Qiao Sasa who came to the meeting.
Qiao Sassa saw her new dress at a glance: "You look so good in this dress, gentle girls are most suitable for goose yellow, like a fluffy little yellow duck......"
The two of them got on the elevator and arrived at the door of Du Yu's house while talking and laughing. Before entering the door, Lu Haoyue motioned to Qiao Sa to lower her voice: "Lin π Ke must be in a bad mood today." ”
After entering Du Yu's house, I found that everyone had arrived, Shi Qingyue and Lin π Ke were sitting in the middle of the sofa, which was the lowest air pressure in the entire living room.
Lin π ke's face was tired, but his tone was calm, and he informed everyone that the members of the first echelon can now enjoy the benefits of brain data storage, and if necessary, they can apply for Shi Qingyue to operate.
Qiao Sasa questioned the security of data storage, and Shi Qingyue explained that the group's data centers are now scattered in several locations and are very secure.
"It's not that it's safe." Lu Haoyue said worriedly: "We think that in the process of operation, how can we ensure that in the process of operation, the personnel who do not use the brain-computer interface to change the data of the members' relatives and friends, or to be honest, don't be angry, I mean bury a monitoring or something......"
Shi Qingyue smiled calmly: "It's okay, I understand." At present, the brain-computer interface can only be operated by me, but you can be present to supervise, and I promise to only guide the data outward, not write the data inside, and never delete it. ”
"Good, good!" Du Yu stood up to ease the tense atmosphere: "In addition to Shi Qingyue and ** Zuoren, you also need to have a third person to supervise during the operation, okay?" Alas, look how low this Laurent has lowered the level of trust among our members? ”
Shi Qingyue said: "The most important purpose of today's meeting is to discuss with you the Luo Lang wiretapping incident, and I would like to ask you your views first. ”
Wen Di said: "This question is very tricky, let him stay here, for fear that he will make some kind of moth, drive him away, will he leak our secrets to others?" ”
Qiao Sasa said decisively: "Deleting this part of his memory, this is the only way." ”
Wen Di asked, "It's too cruel, isn't it?" ”
Lu Haoyue also supports Qiao Sasa's point of view: "It doesn't hurt the body or the intelligence, it's just to delete the memory of this summer vacation." ”
Wen Di glared at the innocent big eyes and said, "You guys are terrible, anyway, Luo Lang is also our friend, can't you give him a chance?" ”
Du Yu poked Wen Di's head: "The kindness of a woman!" When people were listening, they didn't treat us as friends. ”
Shi Qingyue said: "Then vote!" ”
Qiao Sasa, Lu Haoyue, and Du Yu agreed to delete Luo Lang's memory and no longer have contact with him, and Wen Di agreed to keep Luo Lang to reform himself.
With a vote of 3 to 1, Wen Di cast his expectant eyes on Shi Qingyue and Lin π. Lin π Ke didn't say anything, and Shi Qingyue said, "I also agree with the deletion of memories." ”
Just when Shi Qingyue was about to open his mouth to announce the sentence of Luo Lang's memory to be erased for two months, Lin π Ke suddenly stood up and said:
"I don't think I can erase his memories now. It's not easy, there may be a bigger conspiracy behind him, and if we have amnesticized, we won't be able to know the exact motive behind his eavesdropping, and if we don't know Winter, we won't be able to cut the grass and eradicate it......"
"Come on!" Qiao Sasa said: "I don't know if I'm not from the development department, I deleted the memory from Luo Lang's brain, and it doesn't mean that it can't be saved to us, we can cut it down and study it well!" ”
Lu Haoyue secretly laughed at Lin π Ke's eagerness to protect his friends, and even if this simple logic was not straightened out, he would come out to fool people.
Shi Qingyue said to Lin π: "Don't worry, we will keep the memories deleted from him forever." ”
Qiao Sasa said: "Let's do this thing, I still have something to inform you." We owe the band a contract with a brokerage company. ”
Shi Qingyue's face was full of surprise: "Why didn't you discuss it with me when it's so big?" ”
Qiao Sasa said angrily: "I went to look for you that day, your parents were at home, and I went to find Lin π ke, and Father Lin said that he was at your house...... You're so busy, we won't bother you with this little thing. ”
Shi Qingyue opened his mouth slightly, unable to speak.
Lu Haoyue saw that the smell of gunpowder was so strong, so she had to come forward to mediate, she said to Shi Qingyue: "It's really not a big deal, we can even write RMB now, if the company is not good, we will take the money to terminate the contract." ”
Shi Qingyue closed his eyes slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Such a big matter must be reported in the future." Also, you are too quick to lose, and until you can control your impulsive behavior, the position of team leader will be temporarily revoked, and your team members will be temporarily managed by Lin π. ”
Qiao Sassa slapped the table and got up: "Why? ”
Shi Qingyue sat on the sofa and did not move, and said calmly: "I am your superior." ”
Lu Haoyue saw that the two of them were getting more and more angry, so she hurriedly gave Wen Di and Du Yu a look, and the three of them pulled Qiao Sassa to Du Yu's bedroom together.
Du Yu locked the door and said to Qiao Sasa: "It's really you wrong today, how can you make a decision on such a big matter?" What if someone cheats you? ”
Qiao Sa sneered disdainfully: "In this world, only I lie to others, and there is no reason for others to lie to me." ”
Lu Haoyue thought of the Wu Shiqi incident, although Lin π Ke didn't say it directly, but she could guess that they were working together to hide Qiao Sasa, although she also wanted to use this example to show that it was very easy for others to deceive Qiao Sasa, but after all, it was impossible for Qiao Sasa to betray Lin π Ke and them, so she had to give her Shun Shun Mao: "I know that you have always been very smart, but those businessmen must be mercenary, although you are two years older than us, but you have no social experience, you may not be able to calculate them." ”
Qiao Sasa didn't look over his head and didn't speak.
Wen Di said cautiously: "You are too anxious to sign this contract, or you go back and take the contract back, let's see if there is a problem, no problem is to develop in this company, if there is a problem, apply for reimbursement of the termination fee from the company, what do you think?" ”
Qiao Sassa didn't speak for a long time, he was bored for a while, drank several drinks, and finally said, "Okay! ”
Wen Di took her arm and said, "Then let's go out and talk to Qingyue and them, okay?" ”
A few people came out of the bedroom, but saw that there was no one in the living room.
Du Yu held his mobile phone and said, "I'm sorry...... I didn't dare to say it just now, Lin π Ke sent me a message saying that they were going to deal with Luo Lang's affairs. ”
As soon as Qiao Sasa heard this, her whole person seemed to be on fire, she broke free from Wendi's arm, rushed to the door and put on her shoes and bag, looking like she was going to fight with Shi Qingyue.
If this was before, Du Yu, Wen Di and Lu Haoyue together would not be able to stop her, but fortunately, now everyone's physical strength is about the same, and the three of them can easily make her unable to go out.
"You always think you're cool and chic!" Du Yu said sharply: "But you can't even control this little bit of emotion, it's not suitable to do big things with us at all!" ”
Qiao Sasa yelled at him: "Feelings are also a big thing in my place!" ”
Du Yu was so stunned that he was speechless.
Lu Haoyue said timidly: "You are not emotional...... All you care about is how you feel......"
Qiao Sassa was speechless for a moment, took off his shoes, put his backpack away, and sat on the sofa to hold his head.
Wen Di stayed in the living room and patiently explained Qiao Sasa, Du Yu and Lu Haoyue went to the study to write the rest of the summer homework.
"I've never been able to understand the feelings between men and women." Du Yu said softly: "In other words, I have never been able to understand why boys are calm, tolerant, and restrained in the relationship between the sexes, while girls are more impulsive, picky, and willful. ”
Lu Haoyue turned her pen and said, "Not every girl is like this. ”
"If girls endure more," Du Yu said, "then the people around her will feel that she is not loved, and this atmosphere is actually secretly encouraging the brutality of girls...... I often wonder if it is the trial characteristics of girls that I envy in my heart, or the social status that has been formed around biological characteristics since ancient times. ”
Lu Haoyue felt strange: "What other enviable social status can a girl have?" ”
Du Yu gave her an analysis: "What I envy is not the high social status, but the low social status." By default, you don't have to bear the burden of life, you don't have to get ahead, it doesn't matter if you can't get into a key university, you can find a normal job in the future, buy flowers and wear them, just go home and work hard when you are angry, you don't have to hold it in your heart......"
Lu Haoyue smiled bitterly and said, "What you said is Bai Fumei, who has a solid family. ”
"That's right!" Du Yu nodded in agreement: "Although I don't dare to represent everything, there are many boys like me, and what they want to be is not just an ordinary girl, but the one who lives the easiest life among girls." ”
Lu Haoyue carefully verified: "You mean to say that some people want to be girls because they are too stressful to be boys." ”
Du Yu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the proportion, but at least some of them are like this, although they don't necessarily really understand the needs of their hearts. ”
Lu Haoyue looked at Du Yu's face that had changed a little from a few weeks ago and said, "I noticed that you didn't make yourself very coquettish like you did at the beginning, what is the reason?" ”
Du Yu said with a faint smile: "After having the permission to dispose of my body at will, I found that I can completely accept the male characteristics in my underwear, I just can't accept that others think I am a man, so I hope to survive in society with a female appearance." ”
Du Yu said calmly: "To put it bluntly, I hope to be treated preferentially by all men and most women as a delicate and beautiful woman. However, I now feel like it's a gesture of claim and I want to change. ”
Lu Haoyue felt that she had heard every word of Du Yu, but she didn't fully understand it.
Du Yu continued: "The first time I saw Qiao Sasa, I felt that she was as conflicted as I was - she dressed herself more neutrally, and her movements and expressions were also very strong, as if she wanted to gain some kind of strong power by disguising herself as a similar appearance to a man...... I even think that she wants to make boys feel that she is different from those vulgar fans through her handsome appearance, and make girls think that she is an independent woman in the new era, but she is the kind of girl in the world who is not independent and the most dependent on boys. ”
"When did you learn to speak ill of people behind your back?" Lu Haoyue blamed Du Yu.
"It's not a bad word, Qiao Sassa is not a bad person, I'm just as awkward as her...... I wish I could be as free and easy as Petra. ”
"That Petra we knew in Europe?" Lu Haoyue asked, "Are you still in contact with him?" ”
"That's right!" Du Yu said: "She also applied for an international exchange program, and she had to go to Lidu for a few months to study. ”
"That's good news!" Lu Haoyue said happily: "I miss him a little bit too!" ”
Dusk was approaching, Du Yu's parents went home, and everyone had a steaming meal together, and Qiao Sassa seemed to be in a much more relaxed mood. After dinner, Wen Di sent Qiao Sassa back to the school dormitory, and Du Yu sent Lu Haoyue back to her aunt's house.
As soon as Lu Haoyue entered the house, she actually saw her parents and aunt sitting in the living room waiting for her.
"My daughter has grown taller again!" Mom beckoned Haoyue over, took her hand and said.
Lu Haoyue said embarrassedly: "No, I haven't grown tall for three years." "She hasn't seen her parents for a long time, and they're all unfamiliar.
"That's skinny!" Dad said.
Her parents came to give her living expenses, and this time they gave a lot of money in one go. Dad said that business was very good this year, and Lu Haoyue was a little relieved to hear it.
Looking at the parents who had nothing to say, and then looking at the gentle and amiable aunt, Lu Haoyue suddenly remembered the brain data storage benefits of employees' relatives and friends who were mentioned at the noon meeting, and felt that if there was a chance, they could still save a backup, and it didn't seem to take up a lot of space anyway.
