There are two people on the treadmill, one on the left and one on the right, wearing black and gray sports suits.
The morning news was playing on the screen in front of the treadmill. It was only 7:30 and they had been running for more than 20 minutes.
Qiu Yun took the time to look at An Shuang's face, and it turned out that it didn't look good.
An Shuang tried to open the fingerprint lock this morning, but still couldn't get into the control room. She was able to get in, but An Shuang stopped at the door and couldn't pass the facial inspection. She was so angry that she got off the elevator and changed into sportswear. Come to the 15th floor to exercise.
The two of them were panting. Qiu Yun handed her a bottle of electrolyte drink, "It seems that Ye Xuyang is determined to fuck you."
Qiu Yun really couldn't understand why he was so small-minded. He just added NPCs and some characters in non-main areas of the game and wrote a slight story line. How could he be so unforgivable.
Just imagine that programmers have done this before. Sunrise Game is a big project, and almost all the members who work on it want to leave their own traces in the game, so some people will indeed add some scenery and passers-by in addition to non-main characters. This is already a well-known secret, but An Shuang did not report it.
People like her in the past could just make up a report, but she refused to let her go. She has not been allowed to enter the control room for a week.
"Your boss is really unreliable. I suggest you change the team. I recognize your work ability. The results of several previous projects you participated in are also very good. If you join other project teams, they will welcome you very much." Qiu Yun explain.
An Shuang put down the bottle and tightened it, "No, I will not leave the Sunrise Game."
Qiu Yun was really helpless, "The consequences of going against your boss will not be good, and..." she sighed, "Ye Xuyang has a good relationship with the boss, and they have been friends for many years. You have no chance of winning in front of him. "
"I never wanted to compete with him. Besides, he is not worthy of being my opponent."
Seeing her arrogance, Qiu Yun said, "Okay, you are so confident, you must have a way to break the game, but let me tell you clearly, now that the rich bastards at the top have temporarily withdrawn from the game, the manor will avoid the second round and go directly to the third round. wheel."
"I know."
"The third round should be in these two days. If you want to solve the problem, you have to act fast."
An Shuang said thank you.
"Hey, we are friends, why are you so polite?"
"I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."
"I'm going to celebrate my sister's birthday tomorrow night. I can't go. What about the day after tomorrow?"
"Um."
They got up and went into the dressing room to change clothes.
There were several full-length mirrors in the locker room. An Shuang stood in front of the mirror. They were the only two people in the locker room at this time.
Seeing that she was motionless and not changing her clothes, Qiu Yun came over and pushed her, "Why are you so stunned?"
"Nothing, can you go further? No, you go out first." An Shuang said.
Qiu Yun's expression changed, "When you need me, you have a good temper, but when you don't need me, you just let people go away. It's true."
An Shuang said that was not the case, "I want to take a photo."
"Let's take a picture. Do you want to upload it to social media? Take me with you."
She straightened her ponytail and said, "Just shoot it like this."
An Shuang laughed and said, "You go out first. I'll call you after I finish filming."
Qiu Yun had to wait for her outside.
She stood in front of the mirror and took off her sportswear. Sweat flowed from her newly exercised body, and her skin was rosy, like a rose stained with dew.
He raised his phone and took a picture of his naked body.
"Okay, come in and change your clothes."
Qiu Yun pushed the door open and came in, seeing that she had already changed her clothes, "So quick."
"Well, you change, then we go down to have breakfast."
"Okay, I'm quick." She asked An Shuang while taking off her clothes, "Have you finished taking the photo just now?"
"It's done."
"Show me, how's the photo?"
"It's been posted, are you sure you want to see it?"
Qiu Yun opened Moments, "No, you didn't post on Moments."
"It's not in Moments, it's not posted there," An Shuang said.
Qiu Yun was puzzled, "Then where did you send it?"
An Shuang didn't bother to explain to her sentence by sentence and handed her the phone.
Qiu Yun took the phone and opened An Shuang's photo album. The latest one turned out to be a nude photo of her. She was so frightened that she almost dropped the phone. Fortunately, An Shuang caught it and put it back in his huge pocket. "Let's finish reading." .”
Qiu Yun quickly buttoned up her clothes, "You just said it was sent out. Who was it sent to?"
"Ye Xuyang."
Qiu Yun was shocked, "Ah? You are crazy!"
There are crazy people every year, especially this year. Qiu Yun sighed in her heart, everyone in this company is a little smart, how can any girl directly send her nude photos to her enemy.
In less than five minutes, a message came in on the phone. An Shuang opened the phone and quickly turned off the screen.
"Did Ye Xuyang send it to you?"
"Um."
She said, "Let me take a look."
"It's okay, no need." She said.
"What on earth are you thinking? How could you do this? What should you do if he threatens you with this? You know people and faces but don't know hearts. What if he..."
An Shuang put the sports clothes in the bag. She didn't like to leave the sports clothes in the cabinet like everyone else after exercising. She hated the smell.
Qiu Yun stuffed the sports clothes in her cabinet and closed it, "Do you listen to me?"
"Listening now."
"You're suspended from work to reflect, and your brain is wracked by reflection?"
An Shuang said no, "I am very clear-headed. This is retreat in order to advance."
"Are you in trouble?"
Qiu Yun's forehead hurt from her magical operation, and he pulled her to sit on the wooden chair next to the cabinet, "You sent him your nude photos to bribe him?"
"That's what it means."
"How could any man be bribed by a naked photo of you? You are looking down on him."
"What if he likes me?" An Shuang said.
"Like you...like...you said Ye Xuyang likes you? Then shouldn't he please you? Why bother you and suspend you?"
Qiu Yun couldn't understand, "What's going on?"
"He confessed to me and I refused."
She understood everything at once, "Oh, in this case, you don't have to pay such a high price. It's not a big mistake. Even if the boss wants to vent his anger, he won't suspend you for a long time. Just wait. It will probably happen after the third round." It will last for a long time, and then you can just collect the memories of 003, and then sort out the derived codes. There is plenty of time, but this time you do it, it seems like you are admitting defeat."
She was so angry that she didn't expect Ye Xuyang to use such tactics. It really made her feel ashamed.
"I didn't admit defeat, I just made him think it was a peace letter."
A humble letter asking for peace.
"How do you want to punish him?" Qiu Yun asked hurriedly.
"I didn't want to punish him, I just wanted him to stop bothering me. I don't have time to waste on meaningless confrontations with him."
Qiu Yun hated the fact that iron cannot become steel, and reminded, "You can use your strength to fight. He Houdan has always looked down on his brother-in-law, our boss, and he can make things difficult for him. If he stops the boss from meddling in his own business, It will be easier for you to fight back against Ye Xuyang."
She said forget it, "I'm not in the mood."
Under the glass cover, an adult man lay quietly inside, with a thin layer of white sand beneath him.
The brighter the fluorescent lamp, the more transparent his body becomes, like a ghost wandering helplessly.
The old man Luo Wu stood next to the glass cover and quickly controlled the tablet in his hands.
"wake up."
Shen Tianhuan opened his eyes without any emotion.
"Why do you have emotional fluctuations in response to what Zhang Hanju said, with the values fluctuating more than usual?"
Shen Tianhuan replied, "It's very familiar. I recalled it in my mind and saw some people who couldn't see clearly."
"Who is it?"
"I have no idea."
Luo Wu adjusted the parameters, "Were there any lies in our conversation just now?"
"No, I'm being honest."
She was very satisfied, her silver hair glowing softly under the light.
"Shen Tianhuan, tell me, have you ever had any doubts about your world?"
"What exactly do you mean?" He was like a puppet being manipulated.
"reality."
"Never."
"Don't you doubt that the world you live in is fake?"
"There was no doubt."
"What do you think the meaning of your existence is?"
"There is always only one way for me. That is to move forward and never look back."
She said it was very good, but her eyes were a little sad. Facing this proud work, she couldn't be happy.
"Do you know why you can't turn back?"
"have no idea."
"Because there is nothing behind you."
Luo Wu told him, "If you still encounter words or situations that make you emotionally confused, just tell yourself that you are just dreaming, and those are fragments of the dream."
"Yes, I understand."
"It's time for you to go back." Luo Wu said.
Zhong Xingfeng and Ye Xuyang had been waiting outside the office for an hour.
"Teacher, how are you? Did you find anything unusual?" Zhong Xingfeng asked.
Luo Wu said no, "He is normal."
"But I extracted No. 003's memory, and his behavior is really strange."
Luo Wu said it was nothing, "He is originally different from other NPCs, he is special."
Seeing that the glass cover was empty, Ye Xuyang walked over and said, "How about next time the teacher gives us the original character code and let us test it?"
Luo Wu smiled half-heartedly, "You don't believe me?"
Zhong Xingfeng hurriedly looked for help for Ye Xuyang, "Teacher, Ye Zi didn't mean that. He was just worried that you would be tired from working overtime."
"I'm in good health, please worry about me." She sat back on the office chair. There was a small glass jar on the table with a little turtle. Luo Wu teased the turtle and fed it something.
"What does the board of directors say about the second round?"
Zhong Xingfeng said, "The company offered to let them watch the third round for free and participate in betting. After the third round, the characters will be reset and let them re-enter."
Luo Wu asked, "I looked at the list of participants before the second round. Why didn't a few people join at that time? I looked at the newly sent list and added them?"
Zhong Xingfeng explained, “Originally, there was a character ‘Ralph’ who was delayed in entering the game in the second round, so experience user ‘Jack’ and others went in first to start. Before the remaining people could join, ‘Jack’ and the others were eliminated. , if more than half of them quit directly, the second round will end. After 'Jack' was forced to be eliminated, many people also quit directly. 'Ralph's' opportunity to enter the game has not been used up yet, 'Jack' ’ He raised objections on the grounds that someone in the prey group could kill him equally, and the board of directors gave in and allowed them to enter again, but only after the third round and back for the second round.”
Luo Wu sighed, "These people regard the rules as nothing, and the board of directors gives in again and again. It's ridiculous. My Sunrise Game is not like this."
Ye Xuyang whispered, "But teacher, you can't change the decision of the board of directors."
Zhong Xingfeng stood next to him and almost covered his mouth when he heard it, "Stop talking."
Luo Wu took out a resignation letter from the drawer and placed it in front of them.
Zhong Xingfeng was shocked, "Teacher, you want to retire?"
Luo Wu said, "I am not old enough to retire and go home to let the dogs and birds walk. These project teams were established by me myself and I will not let them go."
"What are you talking about?" Zhong Xingfeng pointed at the envelope.
"They wanted to force me to resign voluntarily, saying they wanted to save me face." Luo Wu said.
Zhong Xingfeng said angrily, "After making a sword, you have to kill the swordsmith. Is there such a ridiculous thing?"
Ye Xuyang directly picked up the letter, tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can. "Teacher, what do you want us to do? If you leave, we will leave too."
Luo Wu always felt that this student was not very smart, "When did I say I wanted to leave?"
Zhong Xingfeng said, "I'll talk to Xia Mo about this first. If she knew about it, she would definitely not agree."
Luo Wu didn't expect that he could raise two brainless students, "What kind of person do you think your wife is?"
The two left the office and took the elevator.
At this moment, Ye Xuyang suddenly received a message.
He opened the app, and a nude photo came into view. Looking at the sender, he couldn't help but click on the larger picture to see clearly.
Zhong Xingfengzheng was a little angry when he heard the people around him snickering, "Why are you laughing?"
"No." He quickly put away his phone.
"Who sent you what?" Zhong Xingfeng looked strange at him.
"There is nothing, why are you so worried?" Ye Xuyang said.
"An Shuang has also been suspended from work for so many days to reflect. It's time to ask her to come back. Without her, I have a lot of backlog of work."
Zhong Xingfeng frowned, "Originally I said it was a big or small mistake, it depends on how her boss handles it, but you, as her boss, said, of course you can't tolerate it, so I extended her suspension date. Now it's okay, you are He slapped himself in the face and hurriedly called her back."
Ye Xuyang put his arms around his shoulders and said, "This moment is another moment. Don't care about the process. What we want is the result."
He slapped his hand away, "What the outcome is, you're just moody."
The elevator opened, and Ye Xuyang turned around with a smile and said, "Remember to issue the documents for her reinstatement as soon as possible."
"I don't have time. I'll go out and talk about it when I get back."
"Then don't delay and go ahead."
Zhong Xingfeng hung up the phone and stepped on the wooden floor to the second floor of this retro Song Dynasty building.
There was a small hall on the second floor. A tall and thin European girl with green eyes asked for his information, "Summer. Parik, right? (Summer. Parik, right?)"
He nodded, "Yes."
The tea was withdrawn, "We want to talk, no one is allowed on the second floor."
"Yes, I understand."
Zhong Xingfeng sat down, and the person opposite held his cheek and looked at the long street from the wooden window, "At night, this street will be more beautiful."
Zhong Xingfeng asked, "Are there a new group of people here?"
"Well, some forks came out and they were all replaced."
"You did not tell me."
She smiled, "There are a lot of things I haven't told you."
"Including you asking the teacher to leave the company?"
Xia Mo turned around. She didn't wear heavy makeup today, and even her lipstick was nude. She looked less beautiful and less sharp, "You know?"
"How long do you want to keep this from me until you kick her out?"
Xia Mo said, "I didn't mean to hide anything from you, but I just wanted to have one less thing to worry about."
"Sunrise Manor is the teacher's hard work, you can't do this."
Xia Mo couldn't help laughing.
"If I remember correctly, Sunrise Manor was established by three people decades ago. It is not just her work and effort alone."
Zhong Xingfeng asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Your teacher wants to improve the character's understanding and wisdom, and change some of the instant readings to fixed storage. Do you know?"
Zhong Xingfeng really didn't know, "The teacher never said that."
"Of course she won't tell you, because she has never taken you seriously."
Zhong Xingfeng was stung by her words, "What about you? Don't you also never tell me in advance when making decisions?"
"I didn't tell you in advance because I was afraid of embarrassment for you, and she didn't tell you in advance because she was afraid that you would hinder her. We are of course different." To escape, he is not good at dealing with complex people and things.
Zhong Xingfeng tapped his knuckles on the table, "I know you have a sharp tongue, and you can make everything black and white, but I really hate you like this."
"What do I look like?"
"Businessman look."
Xia Mo smiled, "You have forgotten that I am essentially a businessman. Without your teacher's spirit of exploration in real-person consciousness embedded games, since I am a businessman, I must maximize my interests. Her existence has made the board of directors feel that there is Threatening her and letting her leave is not just my decision alone. There are tens of thousands of people in the group, and I can't help but think about them."
Zhong Xingfeng was angry and was about to leave the table, but she pulled him back, "We are already husband and wife, you can't get angry with me like this for outsiders."
"Then you want me to applaud your decision? I can't break my promise."
Xia Mo took his hand and pulled him to her side, "Don't be angry first. Luo Wu is not the defenseless old man you think. She has lived decades longer than you and has seen more big waves than you. Now When the board of directors faces her, it's not necessarily who will win or lose. I don't have a platform yet and I'm watching the wind direction. I won't make a decision immediately to remove Luo Wu or keep Luo Wu to avoid making mistakes."
Zhong Xingfeng did not let go of her hand.
"You just said that Sunrise Games has a total of three founders?"
Xia Mo asked, "Your teacher never told you about the existence of the other two people?"
"How do I know if what you say is true or false?"
Xia Mo was lying when she said she wasn't sad. After being married to her for so many years, he still didn't trust her. It felt really uncomfortable to have a husband who couldn't trust her 100%. "I have no reason to lie to you. In this matter, superior."
"Where are the other two people now?"
"One founder who quit the Sunrise Game is missing, and another one who entered the original Sunrise Game as a tester died in it because the technology was immature."
Zhong Xingfeng suddenly realized that one of the testers actually had such a dual identity. That person was both the founder and the tester. He testified with his own life and finally gave his life.
