After the two returned to Cairo, Lin Han lived in the dormitory of Qian Dan and Lao Xie, and the room where Lu Wentao once lived.

Chandan went to Jordan, a neighboring country in the northeast of Egypt, to attend the regional department's market conference.

The directors of "Weizhong" stationed in North Africa and the Middle East gathered in Jordan.

On the morning of the first day of the meeting, Qian Dan met Lao Zhong, the general manager of Sudan, in the hotel cafeteria, and Lao Zhong said that the pressure on the subsidiary was still very high, because the artillery fire they called for was still on the way, and almost all of the new "100 million yuan subsidiary" were new employees.

But he patted Qian Dan on the shoulder and said, "You guys are good! Cao Song and several of them went out together, and the cohesion was very strong. ”

Qian Dan proudly sent a text message to Cao Song: "Good Job! Old Bell praises you! ”

Cao Song replied in seconds: "I didn't embarrass the software!" ”

Qian Dan sent again: "Thank you! Our in-house brand is being built little by little by our brothers! ”

The hotel where the meeting took place was "Mövenpick", located on the northern shore of the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea is not the Sea, it is just a lake hidden in the Jordan Rift Valley, which extends from the Great Rift Valley. Because the salt content of the lake water is as high as about 30%, there is no way for fish and shrimp to survive in the water, and there are few flowers and plants on the shore; People who don't know the nature of water can easily float on the water; That's why people call it the "Dead Sea".

The schedule of the meeting is special, with a meeting in the morning, a meeting in the evening, and a break in the afternoon. In this way, everyone will have the opportunity to get close to the Dead Sea.

Qian Dan and Lao Han shared a room. After lunch, Qian Dan remembered that a lot of mail had not been processed, so he returned to the room early.

As soon as he turned on the computer, Lao Han rushed in from outside: "Let's go, go swimming in the Dead Sea, they said it's in the hotel yard." ”

"I've been on the road for the past two days, and I haven't had time to deal with the mail, so I'll take care of the mail and go again."

"Oh, don't be in a hurry to deal with the mail", Lao Han said boldly: "I'll tell you, it doesn't matter if the mail can't be processed, I directly killed a thousand emails last night, it's okay, I'll call you if there's something wrong." ”

Qian Danhu looked at Lao Han suspiciously, sure that the leader was not testing himself?

He was still relieved, and said: "Mr. Han, I still deal with the email, in case the boss of which subsidiary suddenly asks about my subsidiary's project in the past two days, I don't know if the latest situation is not good." ”

Old Han Lisuo changed his clothes: "Okay, I don't care about you, this meeting specially set aside the afternoon time so that everyone has the opportunity to go to the Dead Sea to bask in the sun." ”

Lao Han Xingchong washed away, and Qian Dan found out that the hotel room fee did not include the Internet fee, which was 20 US dollars per hour. He gritted his teeth and bought it for an hour.

Snail-like internet speed, I don't know who sent a big email, "Foxmail" stuck there and didn't move.

It's a "resort" type of resort, which seems to be in an Arab village, and the rooms are small buildings with only two or three floors. He reluctantly opened the door and stood in the corridor to breathe, but saw Zeng Zijian walking downstairs.

He called, "Why are you still dressed so neatly?" Why are you going? ”

Zeng Zijian looked up and saw him and replied, "Go to the conference room." ”

Qian Dan asked curiously, "Do you have a meeting in the afternoon?" ”

"yes, project analysis meeting, what are you doing in your room?"

"I want to receive the email, it's too slow. By the way, you're having a meeting in that big conference room in the morning? The internet in the conference room is very fast, can I go and receive an email? ”

Zeng Zijian hesitated for two seconds, and then said, "You come, there are few people in the meeting." I'm going to be late, I won't wait for you, we'll go to the Dead Sea together after the meeting. ”

Qian Dan returned to the room, stuffed the computer into his bag, and rushed towards the conference room.

He came to the door of the conference room, gently pushed the door open, and looked at it, Daxi, there was a conference room in Nuoda, only a dozen people sat in the front rows, and the seats in the back were all empty.

He crept in, sat down in the corner of the last row, thought about taking the mail and leaving, and hurriedly turned on the computer, not caring about what his colleagues in the conference room were discussing.

In less than five minutes, I saw a person in front of me stand up, walk quickly in front of him, and ask with a serious face: "Where is your work card?" Which department? ”

Qian Dan felt that the person was familiar, he was a leader of the regional department, but he didn't know him. He felt in his pocket: "The work card is placed in the room, and my software serves." ”

The man pointed stiffly to the door: "You can't sit here, this meeting can only be attended by relevant people." ”

Qian Dan was unhappy when he saw him so serious, and said, "I'll take the mail and leave." ”

"No way!" The man said categorically, "What's your name?" ”

"Qian Dan."

"Qian Dan?" The man froze.

Qian Dan thought that he knew his name, and the hand that cleaned up the computer stopped. The man raised his voice impatiently: "Hurry up!" ”

Zeng Zijian sat in front, he turned his head when he heard the movement, glanced indifferently, and turned his head back.

Qian Dan, who was driven away, left the conference room in a huff, returned to the room, threw the computer on the bed, changed his clothes and went to the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea is just behind the hotel, just a 10-minute walk away.

He was pleased to see the blue surface of the lake, the white beach chairs, the yellow parasols, the men and women lying on the water, and the young and old who had painted themselves tanned with Dead Sea mud on the shore.

He looked around, but didn't see Lao Han.

He greeted a few familiar colleagues, undressed and plunged into the water. The water is very slippery, as if it has been mixed with oil, but it is indeed held firmly on the surface of the water and does not sink.

Qian Dan got carried away and forgot that the reason for the unsinkable was the high salt content of the water, so he turned over and drilled into the water. When my eyes met the water, I suddenly felt hot and hot, and I couldn't open them. I reached out to wipe it, and the more I rubbed it, the more it hurt, because my hand had also been soaked in thick salt water.

He could only look at his nose and his nose and his heart, and awkwardly reversed his body, continuing to lie on the water in a four-legged position, keeping his body balanced while following the current, waiting for the wind to dry the salt water on his face and hands.

The beauty of the Dead Sea is not only that it allows people to lie on the surface of the water and get the illusory pleasure of overcoming nature, its mineral-rich water can cure skin diseases, rheumatism and other diseases, and the black mud of the Dead Sea is a high-quality mask material, so many people play in the mud on the shore. Qian Dan rose up, and he also pasted himself black and bright from head to toe.

At dusk, he washed the black mud off his body, found a beach chair and lay down, staring at the sunset and the West Bank.

He was thinking, it's Israel on the other side, right? Is the IDF telescope pointing this way? The phone rang, and it was Lao Han calling.

Old Han asked, "Where?" ”

"Lying on the shore of the Dead Sea."

"You'll be right back, I'll be looking for you."

Lao Han was on the phone in the hotel room, and when he saw Qian Dan coming back, he hung up the phone: "Mr. Niu called me, they had a confidential meeting in the conference room, what are you doing in there?" ”

Qian Dan was annoyed: "What do you mean?" So soon to sue you? I'm just going to pick up an email, what's there? That's too pretty, isn't it? ”

Old Han motioned for him to sit down: "Pretend?" You don't know how serious the information security situation is now? The information security office is coming over soon, did you still use the network port to copy documents to your personal computer some time ago? ”

Qian Dan was a little apprehensive: "I've been traveling a lot, I'm afraid that the computer will break, so I'll make a backup every six months and a year." People say that the network port of the computer has such a large amount of data a day, and it can't be monitored, why? Caught me? ”

"Can't monitor? What is the amount of data? How do you make this kind of mistake? The company's monitoring software has been upgraded a long time ago, and you can't monitor it if you copy so many files? They just reported the clues of the latest information security violations to Lao Niu, who is remembering your name, and you were caught by him today to listen to a meeting that you shouldn't have listened to. Are you an undercover agent sent in by a competitor? He also copied documents from his work computer and eavesdropped on confidential meetings. ”

"I'm undercover?!"

"You guys are really uneasy, an old Xie, inexplicably accepted someone who broke 'MP4' and was reported for moral compliance problems, and you made an information security problem, making me a father and a mother all day long, and I have to worry about business things, and people's things are also unfinished. Did you have any confidential documents copied out of your computer? ”

Qian Dan said with certainty: "There should be no such thing, that is, some general materials and learning materials for engineering and maintenance." There are also some project documents, but they should all be publicly available internally. ”

Lao Han was about to speak, when someone knocked on the door, and a colleague in charge of information security from the regional department arrived as scheduled.

They inquired in detail about what Qian Dan did on the computer, what he thought when he trespassed into the conference room, carefully checked his work computer, and found that there was no confidential information on his work computer that involved market strategy, price, and research and development.

They stared at him and deleted the teaching film of Teacher Cang that was copied in Abu Dhabi and copied to Lu Wentao and Lao Xie in Cairo; After communicating with him, as soon as he returns to Cairo, he will go to check his personal computer and then decide on the subsequent punishment.

The next day was still a morning and evening meeting, with an afternoon break.

Zeng Zijian rented a car and took Qian Dan to Mount Nepal.

Mount Nebo is more than 800 meters above sea level, and there are no strange pines and rocks in the mountain, but it is one of the most prestigious holy places in Christianity. Legend has it that around the 13th century B.C., after the exodus from Egypt, Moses completed the last watch of his life on this mountain.

In the story, Moses made his way to Jerusalem with great difficulty, but was forbidden to enter the holy city, and waited until the last moments of his life to climb to the top of Mount Nebo, where he was guided by God to see the promised land flowing with milk and honey, and then die in peace.

A sign at the top of the hill shows that it is just over 40 kilometers from the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, and it is said that on a clear day one can see the spire of the church in the Holy City.

On the edge of the cliff stands a huge steel serpent scepter, which is not a monument, but a reminder of Moses' nostalgia for an Italian in the 1980s.

The weather was bad and the visibility was not high, so Qian Dan and Zeng Zijian stood under the Scepter of the Coiled Serpent and looked in the direction of Jerusalem, trying to see the Holy City.

The mountain breeze gently swept over his shoulder, was it still the wisp that accompanied Moses 3,000 years ago? What kind of depth and affection would be his gaze as he stood here watching?

A soft singing voice came from a small and inconspicuous chapel behind them, and they followed the song as they walked in, and a group of old men gathered in a semicircle in front of the two white-robed priests, chanting hymns in unison. Warm daylight poured through the colorful mosaic windows with images of Christ, and a house of devotion was painted.

Two men sat quietly in the church.

After the old people finished singing, Qian Dan said: "It's really unlucky, I don't know how I will be punished this time?" ”

Zeng Zijian didn't answer his question, as if talking to himself, as if asking him: "If one day in the future, the company dislikes us and we are too old to impulse, what are we going to do?" Set up a stall to sell pirated discs? Open a '7-11'? ”

This is the second time Zeng Zijian has asked him the same question.

Qian Dan stared at the bright colored mosaic glass window in the high place, and said: "I like 'Weizhong' a lot, I haven't thought about it that far, how many years have I only been doing?" ”

Zeng Zijian said calmly: "I may not be able to do it for long." ”

Qian Dan was taken aback: "Aren't you doing a good job?" What's wrong? Shishi wants you to return to China? ”

Zeng Zijian smiled: "What do you mean by doing a good job?" The current leader says I can't, I can't do it, next time if I change a urine and can't go to a pot, the leader says I can't, I can't do it, I have seen this situation in others several times in the past few years. I think about doing something on my own in Egypt in the future, and I like Egypt, a big country in the Arab world, an ancient civilization, with a population of almost 90 million, and a stable political situation under Mubarak's rule. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"It's not finalized yet."

Qian Dan hesitated, and finally asked, "Are you going to work with Brother Wang?" You have to be careful, I heard that the recent projects 'F Company' pressed us to fight, and I suspect that someone is stealing secrets, and they have mastered our quotation in advance, will it have anything to do with him? ”

Zeng Zijian said calmly: "You want to ask if someone leaked the secret?" Could it have something to do with me? Now people suspect that you are an internal ghost. ”

He stood up and walked straight forward. Qian Dan also stood up and followed him.

The group of old men had gone out, and the white-robed priest was gone. There were only the two of them left in the church, and only the sound of their footsteps remained.

Zeng Zijian broke the silence and asked: "Brother Wang and I are playing together now, and my partner in the future will not be him." It is recommended that you also think about it, you are always working for others in the company, and you don't have the mentality of being a master. ”

Qian Dan said: "I don't have a master's mentality, I just don't know what I can do when I go out?" I think the company's platform is good, and it is my luck to be able to do well in 'Weizhong'. I think that many people confuse platform capabilities and personal abilities, overestimate themselves, and it seems that the company has not been particularly successful in starting a business. I'm reminding myself, I'm not talking about you, your way of thinking is more extroverted, you are more tense in life and doing things, I have been doing technical services for a long time, and I am a problem-finding mode of thinking. ”

"You, a little drunk is cool, a little rich is safe, you underestimate yourself too much, you have indeed been doing technical services for a long time, and you have become a grandson."

"I'll just keep working in the company. You'd better be careful, I'm sure you can go out and do it yourself, but don't get into trouble. ”

Qian Dan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Zijian, did you report Lao Xie?" He actually took a 'MP4' from his partner, something that cost hundreds of dollars. ”

Zeng Zijian was noncommittal, and sneered: "That turtle deserves it." ”
