Chapter 186: A God-given Opportunity
Finance room, 12th floor, Edge Building.
Since KK followed Su Mo, in order to be a good logistics housekeeper, he has been learning about finance, administration, and human resource management.
But these knowledge is very profound, and how many college students study hard in the ivory tower, and they only learn a little bit, and they will be beaten by reality when they reach society.
KK has only been studying for more than a month, and his head is learning to smoke, and he can't even get started.
At this point, he was sitting in front of his computer, scratching his head at a form filled with numbers.
A treasurer walked over with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "KK, there is still a problem with the things handed over to you yesterday, and you didn't get it right." β
KK was stunned: "Ah, did you say that reconciliation statement?" I. I'm doing it according to the formula. β
Finance opened the tax settlement file on the KK computer and clicked on it with the mouse: "The formula is correct at the beginning. But like this kind of table data, you can't pull it directly, you have to format it first, otherwise the numbers pulled down will be all wrong. β
KK was a little panicked: "Nothing happened, right?" β
Finance sighed: "When we reviewed here, we found problems and revised them back in time." Otherwise, the company may lose millions. β
KK hung his head and looked very annoyed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Hey, I can't do anything well."
If you want to change to an ordinary apprentice, the finance must definitely be scolded and reprimanded.
But KK is one of the three founding veterans on the edge, and his qualifications are there, and the finance can only be patiently comforted: "It's okay, don't worry, the actual operation may be too early for you, you better continue to consolidate the basic knowledge first." β
"Good" KK had just made a mistake, had no heart, and shrank his head to let it be arranged.
I followed the study materials to get off work, and I couldn't say anything about my progress in a day.
After the finance left, KK read a book alone and saw that in the middle of the night, all kinds of formulas and cases made him dizzy, and he really couldn't learn.
He had some supper and went to the video game room on the 80th floor to relax.
But when he thought that he almost caused a catastrophe during the day and that his learning progress was slow, he was very anxious and couldn't play the game at ease.
He sat on the sofa with his head in his hands, and fell into serious mental exhaustion.
At this time, KK felt that someone was sitting next to him.
The voice of the future came: "What's wrong, I look worried." β
KK looked at him blankly: "Oh, it's not a hallucination, right?" I actually saw you in the video game room. β
Future yawned: "I'm waiting for the computer to calculate the data, and I don't have anything to do, so I just come up and walk around. What about you? What's bothering here? The game is stuck? β
KK sighed softly and asked faintly, "In the future, do you think I should still stay on the edge?" β
Future is puzzled: "Huh? I didn't understand what it meant. β
KK looked at the ceiling in a trance, and muttered, "I've been feeling lately that everyone around me is so good, and people like me don't fit in with the current edge." β
"So the last time I came back from the Mercenary Summit, I was thinking about a question. Since I can't keep up with your pace, shouldn't I be decent, take the initiative to quit, and stop staying here. β
The video game room was silent in the middle of the night, except for the cold sound of the wind blowing on the glass outside the window.
Future looked at KK, KK looked at the ceiling, and both of them were silent and did not speak.
Suddenly, KK's vision went dark, and something furry flew to his face.
He scrambled around and found that it was a fat rat that was squeaking at him.
He didn't have a good temperament and asked, "Why are you throwing a mouse in my face?!" β
Future picked up the rat, put it in his pocket, and said lazily, "Let you sober up." β
KK said inexplicably, "I'm sober." β
"You're thinking about quitting the edge, which is also called sobriety? I think you're crazy. Mirai opened his arms as if hugging the entire video game room, "Take a good look around you!" β
"Such a big house, eat and drink for nothing every day, what do you want, the mercenaries outside want to join the edge, how much do you want to quit?"
"And as far as I know, you should be the easiest person on the entire edge, you don't need to carry out the commission, the logistics department also has plenty of manpower, you don't have any hard work, you can work if you want to, you can play games every day if you don't want to work."
"I really don't understand, how can you get into anxiety?"
KK's expression was gloomy, and he lowered his eyes and said, "It's because I'm so comfortable that I feel anxious." Because I enjoyed the comfort, but I didn't contribute anything to it. β
"Take the three of us who first followed the eldest brother. How good you are, the chief hardware engineer of the edge, whether it is prosthetic implantation, blood code compilation, or other hardware applications, you can take care of the proper edge technology faΓ§ade. β
"Dongdong is the same, although she doesn't understand technology, she fights very well, she fights side by side with her eldest brother more than once, and her hard power is one of the best on the entire edge, and she is the absolute main combat power, and many people think that she is the "second master" on the edge."
Speaking of this, KK showed a self-deprecating look: "What about me? What do I have? In the beginning, I could barely help my eldest brother with my skills. β
"But now there are more and more talents on the fringes, and my little three-legged cat kung fu can't play any role, and even always helps."
"I almost messed up the finances in the afternoon, but luckily someone helped wipe my ass. A few days ago, at the mercenary summit, I was also pinched as a soft persimmon, which made the eldest brother and Ou Chenyu fight, and was embarrassed by Zhou Hannian."
Future shrugged: "But the boss doesn't care, he never treats you as a burden, why should you put pressure on yourself?" β
KK hugged his legs, buried his head between his knees, and whispered, "You're right, big brother didn't dislike me." But I think. People should always be a little self-aware. β
"I'm grateful to my eldest brother for pulling me out of the quagmire on the border, and I also regard him as a benefactor. Since I am a benefactor, I should find a way to repay him. β
"But the current situation is that not only can I not repay him, but I also eat him every day, and use him like a parasite."
His gaze became blurred, and he whispered: "So I think, since I can't provide value, the only way to repay is to take the initiative to leave." So that Big Brother won't be dragged down by me in anything"
"Drip-drip-" At this time, the alarm clock of the future mobile phone went off.
She shook her head and said, "Ah, it's time, the data is almost running." β
KK nodded: "Well, you go, don't delay the experiment." β
Future walked to the door and stopped there.
βKKγβ Her voice came.
"Huh?" KK looked over.
Future turned his head with a gentle smile on his face: "I think so, if you really feel entangled, why don't you talk to the boss?" β
"Believe me, the most important thing between people is communication. If my lab assistant thinks there's something wrong and doesn't talk to me, I'll be angry. β
"So, you don't want to have internal friction alone, go to the boss, tell him everything in your heart, and talk to him well."
"The four of us are companions who have endured hardships and hardships together. Companions cannot be measured by the word 'value'. β
After saying that, he quietly left.
KK sat there, staring blankly.
I don't know how long it took, but those blank eyes were lit up again.
Cao Yulin has been in a good mood these days.
Everything was going as he expected.
As a spy, the most basic principle is to "not be blind".
Spies must not be noticed within a hostile organization, otherwise the more attention they receive, the more difficult it will be.
The spy must lurk in the dark, like an illusory shadow that no one cares about, but it is real.
He's perfect at that.
Recently, there are more than 30 mercenaries who have joined him on the front and back feet, and all of them have already carried out one or several rounds of commissions, and many of them have shined with their strength.
And he is like a master of equilibrium, neither strong nor mistaken for waste.
If the performance is too good, you will deliberately make some mistakes, and if you don't perform well, you will use your strength to improve the results, and you will always be in the middle of these people, highlighting a mediocrity.
Of course, spies use mediocrity as a disguise, but they can't really be mediocre anymore.
The spy should be like a poisonous snake, quietly lurking in the dark, and if the prey appears to be flawed, it will launch a surprise attack in an instant.
Whether or not you can seize the fleeting opportunity is the criterion for judging whether a spy is excellent or not.
During this time, in addition to pretending to carry out the commission, Cao Yulin usually secretly collected intelligence inside the edge.
At present, there are 203 people on the entire edge, from the head of the regiment Su Mo to the miscellaneous administration, the basic information of all of them, as well as the interpersonal relationships between them, etc., Cao Yulin has all remembered in his mind.
As for the structure of the edge building, except for the laboratory restricted area located underground and the dedicated floor above the 81st floor, he has explored the facilities on the other floors 1 to 80 and knows them well.
The next thing to do is to wait for an opportunity.
At that time, he will create a gap from the inside, cooperate with Ou Chenyu inside and outside, and completely destroy Su Mo, a rising star!
One day, Cao Yulin came back after completing the commission, ready to do the final handover.
As soon as he reached the 12th floor, he heard a quarrel coming from the small conference room.
"me again, what are you doing? How many times?! β
It was Su Mo's angry voice.
Another aggrieved voice sounded: "This thing is already difficult to get, I apologized and admitted punishment, what else do you want me to do?" β
This is KK.
Cao Yulin thought to himself: Yo, what's new, why did these two quarrel?
He hid in the corner and listened carefully to the movement in the office.
The quarrel between the two continues.
Su Mo: "You're still not convinced?" What do you have to disagree with? The simplest data entry can be mistaken, does this thing require any expertise? What's the difficulty? Isn't it enough to have eyes and hands?! β
KK: "It's that simple. A piece of paper has hundreds of rows of data to be entered, and if you are not careful, you will misread it, and I am not a machine"
Su Mo: "Don't make excuses! No other finances can go wrong, but if you make mistakes, is this a professional problem? It's a matter of attitude! β
KK: "What's wrong with my attitude, I'm also serious about learning!" I've never touched this stuff before, so if I don't make a single mistake, who can do that."
Sumer: "I ask you!" Who offered to do this? Isn't it you? You said that you don't want to do chores, you need to learn some skills. Okay, then I'll let finance teach you, but have you studied hard?! β
"The finance told me, you had a good attitude at the beginning, and then you slept late every morning, left early before the time to get off work, ran to the video game room to play games, and played until midnight."
"I'm not not going to let you play, if you do your job. If you put your energy into playing and putting your energy into work, will this kind of low-level mistake occur?! β
"This time I will only fine you with one month's salary, and next time I make this kind of low-level mistake, you will immediately go back to logistics and do chores, don't rely on finance."
Heavy footsteps came from the office.
Cao Yanlin looked from the dark.
KK walked out of the small conference room, his fists clenched, his face flushed with anger, and he left indignantly.
Cao Yulin's eyes rolled and went to the financial office from another direction.
"Excuse me." He smiled and nodded to the treasurers as he entered.
Finance didn't remember his name for a moment: "Are you?" β
Cao Yulin smiled and said, "Cao Yulin, just call me Xiao Cao." β
Finance patted his head: "Oh, what's wrong?" β
Cao Yulin handed over the invoice in his pocket with both hands: "A few days ago, there was a remote commission, and the invoices for travel expenses are here." β
Finance nodded: "Oh good, let me do it, I will be reimbursed after the account." β
"I'm in trouble." Cao Yulin nodded in gratitude, then coughed lightly and asked curiously, "Eh, what's wrong with Master K and the head of the regiment?" Just passing by the small conference room, I heard the two of them arguing. β
Financers, you look at me, I look at you, a little scruple appeared in his eyes, and he shook his head at Cao Yulin: "We don't know much about this." β
Cao Yulin thought to himself: Hmm. It's normal that the finances don't want to talk about it, I'm new here, and it's impossible for them to speak ill of the patriarch in front of the newcomers.
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, maybe it's just a trifle. Then I'll take my leave. Cao Yulin said goodbye to the financers and turned to leave.
Before going out, his hand quietly touched the potted plant by the door.
A miniature bugging device was left on the surface of the leaf without realizing it.
After leaving, he put on his eavesdropping headphones and listened to the movement inside.
"Boom." A short time later, the sound of the door closing sounded.
There are no outsiders, and the people in the finance room have also begun to complain internally.
"The head of the regiment quarreled with KK? Lao Lin, did you sue? β
"Well, I really can't take it anymore. If I don't report to the regiment commander, I'll be dragged to death. β
"What, it's hard to bring KK?"
"It's not a difficult problem anymore, it's a disaster, okay? Yesterday, he typed an extra zero on a remittance order, 120,000 to 1.2 million, and almost remitted it, but fortunately I found out in time. β
"I'll go! Outrageous, the regiment commander is a ghost if he doesn't blow up."
"I can't take it, I really can't take it. It's not that I'm discriminating, it's that the cultural level of the people in the border areas is really not good, and these things can't be learned. β
"You keep quiet, the regiment commander is also from the border, don't let him hear you firing the map cannon."
"Do you know what's the most outrageous? At KK's shit-like level, he gets a higher salary than me, can you believe it? β
"Laughing to death, who makes the family a patriarch, having qualifications is confidence."
"Yes, every day when we are late and leave early, and there are people who cover our mistakes, and we outsiders can't envy us. The patriarch is done. β
Listening to the complaints in the financial room, Cao Yulin had a sneer on his face.
The front and back situations can be correct.
The time I had been waiting for had finally arrived.
There was a crack on the inside of the edge.
Although this rift is very small, it is just a dispute arising from trivial work matters.
But no matter how small the rift is, it is still real, and as long as it is operated a little, it can be gradually expanded.
The most important thing is that the object that created the rift this time is perfect.
According to his personality analysis, if Dongdong and Su Mo had a quarrel, most of them would be fine on the day after the quarrel.
Because Dong Dong is a very typical acute child, temper tantrums, quarrels are often just short emotional ups and downs.
She still points at your nose and scolds during the day, and at night she can continue to talk and laugh with you.
But KK is different.
After this period of intelligence collection and analysis, he has figured out KK's personality, a teenager with low self-esteem and sensitivity in his heart.
Because of his poor background and the fact that there are many strong people around him, KK always wants to prove his worth, so he took the initiative to ask to be transferred from a miscellaneous logistics position to learn esoteric financial management knowledge.
But the problem is that KK has the spirit of not being subservient to others, but it does not have the ability to match it.
This guy is essentially a little thief, the kind that can't eat enough at the border, and is good for nothing except stealing, and to put it bluntly, he's a waste.
The asymmetry of heart and ability, coupled with the sensitivity and inferiority caused by birth, this kind of person is like an unstable powder keg, as long as a fire will change his temperament.
The most gratifying thing is that this kind of person is actually one of the marginal founding triad, with a large number of secrets about Su Mo in his hands.
Except for "God-given opportunity", Cao Yanlin can't find any other words to describe this situation.
So, let's get moving!
