After taking a hot bath, Long Chuan felt much more relaxed.

After tossing for the past three days, I can pass the dragon to exhaustion.

Quarterly reviews like these three days, there will be one every quarter, at least three days at a time.

It's something that can't be helped. Who called the headquarters of this division of Longchuan in the United Kingdom?

For more than ten years, Long Wu has been working in foreign companies, and his top boss has always been a foreigner. Not to mention the relatively casual Americans, not even the Germans, who are known for their rigor, or the shrewd Israelis, are not as meticulous as the British at the headquarters of the company's division.

Regular weekly conference calls with the division's headquarters are a must. The British called it pulsecall. If translated literally, it is called the Pulse Meeting, which is a name that the dragon legend does not like very much.

Everyone is a professional manager who has been in the workplace for so many years, and they all know what to do. You said that you let you report every week, why do you have to call it a "pulse"?

In this weekly conference call, the factory where Long Chuan works has to report to the British people on the achievement of a number of key indicators for the week, such as sales, profits, on-time delivery rates, inventory turnover, costs, production efficiency, productivity, customer complaints, employee turnover rates, and so on.

It is necessary not only to report on the progress of the week, but also to make a forecast for the achievement of the relevant indicators for the next three weeks. By the next meeting, if the actual completion is not at the predicted level, a bunch of improvements will need to be submitted.

Even if the predicted level is reached, if the actual completion is more than five percentage points above the predicted level, a lot of explanation will be required.

Because of this, in private, Long Chuan and other colleagues gave the conference call another name, called "Fear of Death Call".

However, fortunately, Longchuan has also been in this company for several years and has become accustomed to this management model. In particular, although there are many departments managed by Longchuan and there are many contents to report, the brothers in the departments under their jurisdiction are very powerful, and the indicators have been completed well, so it is also handy to deal with this "fear of death call".

But for this three-to-five-day review once a quarter, Long Chuan was exhausted every time.

It's not that this face-to-face review will be much more difficult than the weekly "fear of death call". On the contrary, Long Chuan has always felt that face-to-face communication with the British, everyone can sit in the same conference room, can see each other's eyes, expressions, and can pause from time to time to discuss, the meeting itself is more relaxed than a conference call.

But what made Long Chuan feel tired was that in the past three days, there were continuous meetings from morning to night. It starts at 8:15 a.m. and lasts until about 6 p.m. Occasionally, when there are more problems, it will be delayed for two hours.

Not only that, but all managers have to accompany the British people to eat working meals at noon, usually KFC or takeaway pizza. In the evening, if there are no special circumstances, you have to accompany the British out for a few beers, chew a few pieces of the same pizza as at noon, and talk about work while eating and drinking.

Moreover, during these three days, regardless of whether it was their turn to report or not, managers like Long Chuan had to be on call around the clock. I can't go back to the dormitory or take a nap in the office at noon, and I have to get back to the dormitory late at night.

After three days of intensive bombardment, Long Chuan, who is used to taking a nap and eating Chinese food, always feels very tired.

Today, an hour ago, all the managers had finished the quarterly review after a group of Britons had poured a belly of beer at their favorite pizza shop.

After taking a shower, Long Chuan put on a large pair of pants, turned on the light on the balcony outside the bathroom, picked up a piece of soap and wiped it around his mouth, and began to shave in front of the mirror above the washbasin on the balcony.

Shaving after applying soap was discovered by Ryuden during a business trip. At that time, the hotel where Long Chuan stayed did not provide shaving liquid, only small soap. After applying soap, Ryuchuan found that shaving was smoother than shaving with shaving liquid. Also, the soap tastes good. After that, Long Chuan stopped using shaving liquid and switched to soap.

After shaving, Long Chuan touched his chin and other places around his mouth, and felt that the whole person looked much cooler.

Long Chuan put away the razor, picked up a few handfuls of water, washed a few handfuls on his face, and was about to dry his face and return to the room, when he suddenly found himself in the mirror and smiled.

Long Chuan thought that he was dazzled because he was too tired in the past few days, and rubbed his eyes in the mirror, but found that he did not make the same eye rubbing action in the mirror, but still kept smiling.

The surprise of the dragon legend is not trivial. The workshop next to Rao is was brightly lit, and there were people walking around downstairs, but Long Chuan still broke out in a cold sweat.

"Ghost!" was the first word that came to Long Chuan's mind.

Long Chuan turned his head to the side, not daring to look in the mirror again. Just as Long Chuan was about to rush back to the room, and then open the door to let the colleague next door come over to watch, a voice sounded in Long Chuan's head: "Don't be afraid!"

Long Chuan was shocked again, and blurted out: "Who?!"

The voice in my head sounded again: "Don't be afraid!

Long Chuan had goosebumps all over his body, and was about to speak again, when the voice said, "You don't have to speak. You just have to think about it with your brain. I can hear the voice in your head. ”

Long Chuan didn't dare to look in the mirror, and asked in his mind, "Who are you?"

The voice said in Long Chuan's head, "I'm you!" Feel relieved. I won't hurt you. I am you. If I harm you, I will harm myself. ”

Long Chuan carefully moved back to the mirror, and secretly glanced at the mirror with a sideways face, only to see that the person in the mirror who looked exactly like himself was still smiling.

Seeing Long Chuan's eyes over, the person in the mirror smiled even more, and the voice sounded in Long Chuan's head again: "I can be regarded as finding you!"

Long Chuan asked in his head, "What do you mean?"

The voice of the man in the mirror sounded: "I am you from another place. ”

When Long Chuan heard this, countless science fiction movies and novels he had watched flashed in his mind. Parallel space, different time and space, wormholes, interstellar travel?

The person in the mirror seemed to really know what Long Chuan was thinking, and his voice sounded, "If you use the words of your planet, I am you from another time and space. ”

Long Chuan reflexively asked in his mind, "Another time and space?"

The person in the mirror nodded, and a voice sounded, "The universe has countless different times and spaces. You're the ninety-ninth me I've found. ”

When Long Chuan heard the person in the mirror say this, the first thing that flashed in his mind was the movie Jet Li once acted in, "Universe Wanted".

According to the statement in that movie, there are indeed many different time and space in the universe. And in every time and space, there is an individual who is the same as everyone on Earth.

In that movie, an individual in one of the planes discovers that if you kill an individual who is the same as you in another time and space, the power of the killed individual will be evenly transferred to the same individual in the other time and space, making the remaining individuals stronger. If you can kill all the individuals in other planes and planes who are the same as you, and the one that is left behind in the end can become the strongest in the universe.

The person in the mirror had a big smile on his face, and his voice was full of laughter, and he said in Long Chuan's head: "You think too much! I have crossed countless time and space, and I have long found that not every time and space with living beings has the same self. Even if I did, as an outsider, I could only observe myself in that time and space, and I could not interfere in any way. ”

Long Chuan remembered what the person in the mirror had said before, if he harmed himself, he would also harm himself, and the person in the mirror sighed and said, "This is the biggest disadvantage." As long as I am in the same time and space as my other self, I will feel the same pain from all the unnatural injuries suffered by my other self. ”

The voice paused slightly, and then continued, "More than that. For me, the biggest hurt is the natural injury that my other self has suffered. All the mes of other planes and planes, from the moment they were born, were gradually moving towards death. As long as I am in the same plane as the other self, and the other self is constantly shortening, my life span is also decreasing in the same proportion. ”

Long Chuan's mind turned again, and the voice in his head said: "For example, in this time and space, using the timekeeping standard of this planet, it has taken me three years to find you. Based on your average lifespan, I've lost another three percent of my life. ”

Long Chuan asked in his mind, "Since this matter is harmful to you, what is the purpose of you crossing time and space to find another self?"

The mirror man's expression became serious, and he said in Long Chuan's mind: "In the vast universe, everything has two sides. I was thinking that since I was in the same time and space, I would feel the hurt of my other self, and I would have to endure the same proportion of the passage of life as my other self, there must be something good for me. It's just that I haven't found out yet. I want to find this beneficial aspect. ”

Long Chuan nodded at the person in the mirror, indicating that he understood what he said. Immediately, Long Chuan asked in his mind, "Then why did you show up to see me?"

The person in the mirror had a sad look on his face, and said in Long Chuan's mind: "I have crossed too many time and space, and my life span is running out, and I have no time to cross another time and space. I want you to retrace the path I have walked and find the beneficial aspect that I have not been able to find. ”

Long Chuan was shocked in his heart, and before the words in his mind could be asked, the person in the mirror said in Long Chuan's mind again: "You naturally don't have the ability to cross time and space now. However, I have a way to send you to the plane where I was born, and let you start from the beginning and retrace the path I have walked. ”

"Crossing?" the two words involuntarily appeared in Long Chuan's mind.

The man in the mirror shook his head and said in Long Chuan's mind, "Not exactly. My method is not for you to completely cross over to the time and space where I was born. What I want to do is to let your consciousness temporarily cross over to the time and space where I was born. ”

Long Chuan asked in his head, "What do you mean?"

The man in the mirror said, "One night." I just need to strip your consciousness for one night. On this night, you will be completely unconscious. ”

Long Chuan frowned lightly and asked, "It's that simple?"

The man in the mirror was silent for a moment and said, "There is a risk that I must explain to you. If you die unnaturally in the time and space where I was born or in another time and space, you here will never wake up again. ”

Long Chuan's brows furrowed tightly, thinking of his parents, wife and children, relatives and friends, he was about to shake his head, and the voice of the person in the mirror sounded in Long Chuan's head again: "Don't be busy refusing first." Listen to me first. You know, if you look at the lifespan of this planet, how much will I live?"

Without waiting for Long Chuan to ask, the person in the mirror said to himself: "My lifespan can be counted in millions of years." Don't you want to experience the wonder of a million years of life?"

Seeing that Long Chuan shook his head, the person in the mirror said again: "I already have a faint feeling that if you can really find the beneficial aspect that I have not been able to find, all of us in different time and space will benefit. I know that you have had many regrets in your heart. If you can succeed, you in this plane may have a chance to make up for those regrets. ”

When Long Chuan heard the words of the person in the mirror, he couldn't help but be silent.

Long Chuan's heart is indifferent, he belongs to a typical otaku, and he doesn't feel anything bad about this ordinary and ordinary life. But in Long Chuan's heart, there are indeed a lot of regrets.

The biggest regret of Dragon Legend is that he can't spend enough time with his loved ones.

As soon as Long Chuan graduated from school, like many young people, he left his hometown and came to the south, the first city of reform and opening up, to seek opportunities, and stayed for more than ten years.

In the past ten years, like many people who have worked hard in the city, Long Chuan has only had the opportunity to return to his hometown to visit his relatives once or twice a year. In the past ten years, Long Chuan has sent away his grandfather, grandmother, grandfather and grandmother who brought him up. Every time he sent an old man away, Long Chuan's heart was like a knife.

Now, what Long Chuan hopes most is to spend more time with his parents, wife and children and other relatives. But for the sake of life, and for the reason of the high-sounding "I am here to lay a better foundation for my family", Long Chuan is still adrift in the city, and he cannot often get together with his parents, wife and children.

Every time he returned to his hometown, looking at the growing gray hair on his parents' heads, Long Chuan's heart was always full of guilt. And every time he left home, Long Chuan didn't dare to look at the concern on the faces and eyes of his parents and the anticipation for the next goodbye.

As for the child's question, "Dad, when will you come back and never leave again", every time Long Chuan heard it, he almost had to run away.

The person in the mirror seemed to be able to understand Long Chuan's current mood, and he also fell silent with Long Chuan.
