Chapter 1: Friendship Takes Steps

Suppose one day you cross over and enter a novel that you love so much and know the plot of, and the protagonist of the novel has just joined your company and become your new colleague.

You begin to recall the plot of the original work, the protagonist in the plot, kind but never pedantic, gentle but never weak-hearted, not only has a correct outlook, knows how to repay kindness, but the future is a "bright", destined to become a ceiling-level big man......

So the question is, what attitude should you have towards your new colleagues?

Did you choose to go up and hug Kim's thighs decisively? Or do you choose to go the wrong way, what do you want me to do?

Good news: the point in time you travel through is before the plot begins, and there is plenty of time to establish a deep revolutionary friendship with the protagonist in advance.

Bad news: The point in time you traveled through was before the plot began, and the time when the plot started - not long, is it guaranteed to be 5,000 years, or even 10,000 years later, right?

Even if the golden finger of immortality falls from the sky, you must first face the imminent crisis of extinction: how to survive the natural disaster that first awakened and civilization was shattered?

Summer chose to abstain.

His ultimate goal is only one: to befriend Zhou Mingrui, the protagonist of the original work, and take a ride to Yuanbao.

This is not a difficult thing, Zhou Mingrui's character is destined that as long as you treat him sincerely, he will return to sincerity, not to mention that Su Mo's chips are doubled, and there is another friendly predecessor who is blessed-

Yes, in the discussion of the old and new matters two months ago, he became Zhou Mingrui's mentor for the first time in the workplace.

It's not a witch in the end, and the competition is not so fierce.

Remove the filter of the master of the nesting doll in the original book, Zhou Mingrui can be said to be a typical contemporary male college student, who likes to chase new videos in his spare time, play games and read novels, and is a qualified "keyboard" powerhouse on the Internet, and he will complain and share with friends when he encounters interesting things.

After two months of contact, Su Mo successfully changed Zhou Mingrui's title from the slightly rusty Su senior to the relatively close Brother Su.

His goal in the next stage is to prepare for Zhou Mingrui to call him by name, after all, Zhou Mingrui has just graduated from college at the age of twenty-two, and he is twenty-six years old this year, which is only four years older.

Age is a free thing, when you don't need it, it's the evidence of Bensan's health, and when you can use it, it's easy to get along with your peers.

Su Mo's attitude towards Zhou Mingrui has always been quite cautious and restrained, adhering to the concept of what to say and do at any stage, and has formulated and successively revised several versions of the code of conduct for getting along with friends.

Even after confirming in a small talk that Zhou Mingrui's family was out of town and the place where he now lived was a shared house in an urban village, Su Mo resisted the urge to invite him to move and become a roommate and settle it once and for all, maintaining the sense of proportion and boundaries that ordinary friends should have.

Another day of lunch break, Su Mo and Zhou Mingrui came to the company canteen to eat.

The company's canteen is really good, the variety of dishes is rich, the taste is not particularly excellent, but the overall is above the passing line, almost will not step on the thunder, the most important thing is that the price is very affordable, soup and rice are free, and the average of two meat and one vegetable is about 15 yuan.

In the company's welfare package, the lunch supplement for regular employees is exactly 15 yuan, and employees like Zhou Mingrui who are still in the probation period also have a subsidy, 10 yuan per day.

When Su Mo asked Zhou Mingrui if he was willing to stay and continue to work, Zhou Mingrui laughed and said that even for the company's free canteen, he wanted to work hard to become a regular.

At the window of the cafeteria, Su Mo asked for a stir-fried lettuce, salt-and-pepper pork ribs and sweet and sour tenderloin, and Zhou Mingrui, who was lined up behind him, ordered the same as he ordered, but replaced the salt-and-pepper ribs with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Breaking away from the long queue for food, the two put down their plates and occupied a table, and then ran to serve the soup.

There are two kinds of soup today, one is the resident seaweed egg drop soup, and the other is the mung bean soup that quenches thirst, Su Mo and Zhou Mingrui tacitly chose to have them all, one person chops egg flower soup, one person chops mung bean soup, and then each served two bowls.

The two returned to the table with four bowls of soup in both hands, and finally had time to enjoy lunch.

"Brother Su, what are your arrangements for the afternoon?"

While eating, Zhou Mingrui asked.

Although the ancients advocated the proverb "don't say anything when you eat, don't say anything when you sleep", it seems that talking about things at the dinner table has become a habit for modern people.

"What's the afternoon schedule?"

Su Mo blinked and reported the schedule without thinking.

"It's about half past twelve when I go back after dinner, I spend half an hour correcting your PCB diagram, then take a twenty-minute nap, and last ten minutes to sort out the next project test data.

"After the lunch break, I will take you to participate in the debugging of the product, the board for the comparison test is in place, you can start the debug link that finds the problem, and the firmware engineer of the next department will also come to assist in the work.

"Half of the debugging process requires communication with the hardware FAE, which itself can be regarded as the teacher of the schematic engineer, responsible for providing guidance and solving problems in hardware technology.

"I have already discussed with the FAE on site in advance, and I will practice teaching some real dry goods at that time, and you can also audit, but the first task is to improve my hardware design professional level."

Zhou Mingrui blurted out in surprise: "How is this discussed?" ”

"It's money power." Su Mo replied slowly, "I used the money ability. ”

"How much?" Zhou Mingrui's face was solemn.

Su Mo took a bite of the ribs and said while chewing: "My salary for the next six months." ”

What is the salary for the next six months? This statement caught Zhou Mingrui's attention.

He thought quickly in his heart: If Brother Su had enough savings on hand, he could directly say "my salary for half a year", but adding the prefix of "future" means that he should not have much money now, so he has to advance his salary as tuition......

Zhou Mingrui silently calculated the price of the tuition fee again, and then couldn't help but "hiss", the worried and distressed look didn't know that he had just lost his wallet.

Su Mo looked at him calmly, and roughly guessed what was going on in his heart.

"Don't worry that I can't afford to eat or rent a house." He comforted, "I have already paid a year's rent in advance, and if I eat, I will have a company meal supplement for lunch, and I can buy my own food and cook two meals in the morning and evening." And this tuition fee does not need to be paid in a lump sum, there is a one-year installment period. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhou Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still a little entangled: "Brother Su, are you fighting so hard to get promoted and raise your salary as soon as possible?" ”

Su Mo nodded first, then shook his head again, correcting his statement: "It's mainly for promotions, not raises, well, this involves a small goal of mine." ”

He has no ambition to become a general manager, become a CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life, and the so-called promotion only refers to the small head of the department and a team leader.

Although he is only a team leader, he still has a little power and can open a few harmless back doors for his team members, such as......

Will it be more convenient to approve fake slips? Occasional tardiness doesn't affect attendance? Push team members to improve efficiency to reduce overtime?

As long as the performance of the team is up to standard, even if he receives an unreasonable order from the boss to work overtime for the sake of overtime, he can take responsibility for it all and block it all back.

Su Mo smiled slightly.

He knew very well that the person standing in front of him at this time and befriending him was the real Zhou Mingrui, not Klein Moretti who existed in his mind.

Zhou Mingrui lives in a familiar and stable hometown, with a cheerful personality and a delicate personality, a father who likes to exercise and always speaks loudly, a mother who suffers from chronic diseases but likes to be busy for her son, and a friend who grew up together and evolved from playing football and basketball together to playing games and playing mahjong.

He is not the traveler who suddenly crossed thousands of years, mistakenly thinking that he was in a foreign land and wandered, nor was he the "Fool" Mr. who was bound by fate to become stronger step by step, restrained, vigilant and lonely after narrowly revitalizing and going through thousands of sails.

At the same time, Su Mo also knew very well that even if he did succeed in getting to the Source Fort, in the mysterious world where knowledge meant pollution and madness, as a "reader" full of forbidden knowledge, it was not a joke to land in a box.

But if you don't try your best, how do you know the result? ’

Therefore, he doesn't mind leaving a relatively relaxed and happy career career for the protagonist he once admired and loved, rather than a first reaction after encountering an unknown headache is "Okay!" There is a valid reason to take a leave of absence! Memoirs of the Bitter Social Animal.
