Late summer '09.

Yanjing Haishu Garden.

The wind at night is not cool, but with a hint of dryness, so hot that people can't breathe.

After Lin Xia ran home at night, he took a shower and changed his clothes, sat on the edge of the desk, and habitually picked up the novel "The Last Penny" by the Tsarist Russian writer Chikoru and continued to read.

Unfortunately, some people are uneasy.

I was looking forward to having the first published book in my life, but I was also afraid that the physical sales of the book would not be good, and then I would be cut off and finally drowned in the sea of books without any waves.

With the gradual popularization of 3G in 08,Electronic reading gradually occupies the mainstream,Taiwan's traditional Chinese has experienced the last afterglow "School Flower Raiders",Finally, the situation is getting worse,Inexplicably began to have a tendency to linger,After entering 09 years,This trend is more obvious,In the first half of the year, the books published by Qingxian Network on Taiwan Island,Eighty percent of them can't finish a few volumes and cut off,Many well-known writers can't avoid it。

The boom of the online reading era is really a painful blow to physical books.

The progress of an era will naturally eliminate countless old things, and it will be in vain to struggle against the trend, which can only be bruised all over the body, which will only increase the pain.

Lin Xia understands this truth very well.

"I hope I can sell a few more copies, worrying about it is useless!"

On the edge of the windowsill, Lin Xia let out a breath, adjusted his emotions of gain and loss, and continued to read the book.

It's just that after reading a few pages, Zhang Sheng's appearance unconsciously appeared in his heart, and then he subconsciously looked at the graduation photo at the table.

In the corner of the graduation photo, there is a vacancy that is easy to overlook.

That position is Zhang Sheng's.

Zhang Sheng was absent from taking graduation photos, not only did he miss his graduation certificate, but he didn't even go to the last class after the college entrance examination, let alone the thank-you banquet, singing, and farewell that night......

It seems that everyone is immersed in this parting emotion, and it seems that everyone subconsciously ignores that there is such a classmate as Zhang Sheng? Even if there is no accident, it will probably be the future class reunion, and when I recall it in the future, it is impossible to have Zhang Sheng's name, let alone anyone remember him, Lin Xia suddenly felt that Zhang Sheng was like a speck of dust, although it existed, but it was gently dispersed by the wind and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Xia silently looked up at the bright crescent moon in the sky, and after looking at it for a long time, he closed his eyes again, and there was a wave of doubt in his heart.

"That person, is it Zhang Sheng?"

………………………………

"I'm just a security guard!"

"Security guards also have dreams, if people don't have dreams, what is the difference between them and salted fish?"

"Okay, okay, then don't talk to me about your dreams, do you have anything else? If it's okay, please go back......"

"Brother Xu, look at your current appearance, you will definitely be a person who can do great things in the future, why are you so unconfident in yourself? pattern, pattern, what's wrong with security, three hundred and sixty-five lines, the line is the champion......"

“……”

Inside the security room.

Xu Bowen's patience value has reached the limit, but Xu Bowen, as one of the security guards, did not slap the bespectacled young man in front of him out at once.

This is an uninvited lord, after stepping into the security room, he said here that he would not leave, not only did he not leave, but his mouth was full of "dreams", "patterns" and "beliefs......

Special!

He's a stinky gatekeeper, what dreams can he have?

Xu Bowen didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Sheng.

Maybe it was because he saw that Xu Bowen finally stopped paying attention to himself, and Zhang Sheng also felt bored, so he finally stopped talking nonsense, but changed his direction and wandered around the security room.

In addition to a computer in the security room, there are no valuables, Xu Bowen naturally doesn't think that Zhang Sheng dares to move the computer under his nose, and it is impossible for him to touch the computer, thinking that this birdman will feel bored if he stays in this place for a long time, and he will not be able to stand it and leave on his own, Xu Bowen didn't care anymore.

However......

Time passed little by little, Zhang Sheng had no intention of leaving, but instead found a chair by his own mind and stayed by Xu Bowen's side until the second half of the night......

"What the hell are you going to do!"

Xu Bowen looked very good in spirit, and looked at this with interest, looking at that, as if he would never get tired of it, Xu Bowen was finally speechless.

"Brother, do you know how to type on the computer? I think I have an eye for you, do you want to teach you to type on the computer? ”

"This is a surveillance computer, see? Monitor the computer, can't type! ”

"I know, isn't there a useless one next to here?"

"I'm a special security guard, what do I want to type!"

"What's wrong with the security guard? I said, three hundred and sixty-five lines......"

“……”

"Brother, I'm not talking about you, we're talking about keeping pace with the times, what does it mean to keep pace with the times? For example, now, the previous 2G signal was particularly rubbish, how good is the 3G signal now? In the future, 4G signal, 5G ...... Can you imagine how fast the network will be in the future? The ...... of the future"

“……”

"Pattern, there must be a pattern ......"

“……”

This birdman is extremely annoying.

The second half of the night was when people were dozing off, Xu Bowen's eyelids were fighting, and at this time, he was lying on the small bed and secretly making up for sleep.

And now......

This birdman seems to have infinite energy, and it seems that there are countless words that make people's brains explode.

He finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Okay, okay, don't make noise with me, I'll sleep for a while, use the spare computer next to you, but don't use the monitoring one, and, you help me top the shift, someone comes, you lift the bar ......"

"Come on, Brother Xu, you can leave this matter to me, you can sleep well......"

"Don't steal! It's full of surveillance, and if you lose a needle, you can get in......"

"Brother Xu, aren't you worried about my character?"

"Okay! I'll remember it......"

"Well, I'm the best at raising the bar......"

“……”

Xu Bowen finally lay on the cot.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Xu Bowen heard a rhythmic crackling sound.

At first, he was still vigilant, and he opened his eyes once in a few seconds, for fear that the birdman would make some mess while he was sleeping, but after seeing the birdman sitting on the spare computer without a network cable crackling and typing, and there seemed to be nothing else, he slowly relaxed his vigilance, and then his eyelids gradually became heavy.

A few hours later......

After Xu Bowen heard the sound of the keyboard and stopped, he suddenly felt a little unaccustomed, and after opening his eyes, he realized that the security room was suddenly empty.

His heart suddenly struck, and he looked at the two computers, and when he saw that the computers were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when I was wondering where Zhang Sheng went......

"Oh, Sister Chen, hello, hello, [Senran Integrated Stove] think about it?"

“……”

"It's all hard currency of stainless steel, the top ten famous brands in the country, and the quality can definitely be guaranteed...... Report my name and can get a discount! ”

“……”

"Ten thousand pieces of things, you can't buy a loss, you can't be fooled, otherwise, I'll take you to our headquarters to have a look? In the car, I would like to introduce you to our [Senran Integrated Cooker] ......"

“……”

"Ouch, lo and behold, our company's car is coming......"

“……”

"Sister, you see, it's not easy for me to start a business as a young man, of course I won't say that I was waiting for you to come over last night, I just hope to impress you with my sincerity and quality...... If you really don't want to go, just invite me to breakfast, you chose me, I guarantee you are satisfied! ”

“……”

Xu Bowen looked at Zhang Sheng, who was wearing [Senran Integrated Stove], and stood sincerely in front of a middle-aged woman who still had charm, and introduced the integrated stove to her.

The middle-aged woman nodded from time to time, she seemed to listen very attentively, especially when Zhang Sheng talked about starting her own business, the middle-aged woman seemed to be about to fall into tears.

Xu Bowen was stunned!

What the hell is this birdman doing?

Then he realized that this product dared to advertise on his own territory and harass the owner, and his eyes widened instantly.

When he wanted to say something, he suddenly saw the birdman push his glasses and look at him again.

"Brother Xu, help lift the bar, our car is going to come in to see the decoration..."

“？？？？”
