After rebirth, I was hugged and kissed by a crazy boss

He Xiaojing pushed up her glasses out of habit.

"Of course, to protect the integrity of the data, we chose traditional decryption rather than forcing the password lock open."

Yan Qing nodded, "Okay."

Her father is a genius among geniuses, good at chess and card games, and if pushed to the limit he can go to the casino and multiply his capital tenfold.

When they were young, Yan Sichen often used some small games to train her and Yan Jin's intelligence.

It is normal for such people to like encryption and decryption.

"Also, let me remind you of one thing."

He Xiaojing continued,

“When you start working, please do not use your mobile phone to avoid leaking secrets.”

She pointed outside the door.

"Please place your cell phone on the shelf outside. You can take it away when you leave the lab. Please supervise each other. If anyone is found using a cell phone or other electronic device indoors, we reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility."

Yan Qing and Gu Qingyan looked at each other and nodded, "Okay."

Finally, He Xiaojing came to Deng Huai, speaking in a polite but distant tone.

"Assistant Deng, I have something urgent to attend to. I can't accompany you. Please make yourself at home."

After that, he turned and left.

As soon as she left, some staff members turned around from their computers curiously and looked at the newcomers.

Among them was a boy about 25 years old, who brought a new laptop.

"Hello, Miss Joyce."

He said politely,

"My name is Zhou Mi, and I'm the deputy team leader here. This is your work computer. Mr. He has just explained the rules of the laboratory. If you are unsure about anything, be sure to ask me. Don't act on your own."

Gu Qingyan nodded and smiled.

"Okay, I understand. What's my first job?"

While they were talking, Yan Qing came to the decryption group.

The atmosphere here is in stark contrast to the seriousness and tension elsewhere.

The decryption team was located in the last part of the laboratory, and two people were sleeping soundly on the table.

The desk was piled with manuscript papers and the trash can was filled with empty takeout boxes.

When Yan Qing approached, they didn't notice at all, still immersed in their dreams, and even made a slight snoring sound.

"..."

Yan Qing stretched out his hand, wanting to pat them, but ended up touching the back of his head.

A female voice suddenly sounded behind me.

"Just don't bother them."

Yan Qing turned around in surprise and saw a short-haired girl poking her head out from behind the computer and smiling at her in a friendly manner.

"They both stay up late every day to decode the code. They are almost living here..."

She looked at the clock on the wall.

"If you're not in a hurry, just wait. According to convention, they should both sleep for about half an hour before waking up."

Yan Qing smiled embarrassedly.

"Sorry, I'm new here and I still feel a little weird."

The girl nodded in understanding.

"It doesn't matter. Most people, at first glance, would think they are slacking off at work."

There was a hint of teasing in her eyes.

"Once, the Third Young Master came to inspect and happened to see them sleeping. He got angry at the time and poured the teacup over their heads... Fortunately, the tea was already cold. Oh, by the way, my name is Lin Ke. I just heard from Mr. He that you are Professor Yan's daughter?"

"Yes." Yan Qing nodded, "My name is Yan Qing."

"There are only three people in the decryption team, and you are one of the four."

Lin Ke introduced it briskly,

"They are the main force in decryption, and I am responsible for organization and coordination. In fact, Mr. He and I have different ideas. I think your joining is a great thing for the decryption work. Because you know your father well, which is something we can't compare to no matter how hard we try. But——"

She dragged out the word and said meaningfully,

"Don't be offended by my frankness. Mr. He's words do make sense. Decryption is a rigorous and precise job. We can't be overly sentimental just because of the deep affection between father and daughter."

"Okay." Yan Qing nodded, "Can I ask about the current progress?"

Lin Ke: "You mean the information we have unlocked now?"

"Yes," Yan Qing said without hesitation, "I want to know what my father left behind."

Lin Ke thought for a moment and said, "We have not been in charge of this work for long, and Professor Yan left behind too much information... Some are academic, and some may be personal. However, the code he set is quite difficult to figure out. After so long, we have only cracked a small part of it."

She smiled bitterly, "I finally entered the correct password, but it turned out to be a bunch of photos with no academic value."

"photo?"

Yan Qing raised his eyebrows curiously.

"Can you show it to me?"

Lin Ke nodded, "Okay. Maybe you've seen it at home."

After that, she took out a stack of photocopies from the drawer.

Yan Qing quickly leaned over - it was a photo of his father when he was young.

It seems to be about when I was studying abroad... something about Dexinwei College?

Yan Qing saw a familiar figure, Liang Yunian.

He and his dad sat under a tree, with a picnic mat and some books, pizza and beer.

The two young people are in their prime and have bright smiles.

Yan Qing narrowed his eyes, trying to discern the titles of those books.

I couldn't help but ask, "Bible?"

"Yeah." Lin Ke added coldly, "This Bible appears many times, and we think it is very important. So when we were decrypting it, we subconsciously wanted to find information from it... By the way, is your father a Christian?"

"No." Yan Qing shook his head and denied, "My father doesn't believe in any religion. He may believe in knowledge and science, but he will never believe in God."

"Ah... that's troublesome."

Lin Ke smiled bitterly.

"At first, we thought that with the computing power of artificial intelligence, we should be able to quickly decipher all the codes... But later we found that Professor Yan's encryption method was very special, and we couldn't find a similar encryption rule in the database. So, you see, they both gave up computers and started calculating by hand."

She scratched her head and picked up a Bible from the table.

"This thing has appeared so many times in old photos. It can't be a useless clue, right?"

To be honest, after so many days of high-intensity work, Lin Ke almost memorized all the contents.

"possible."

Yan Qing shrugged.

"Of course, there is another possibility - this Bible is just a clue to mislead others."

"impossible."

Lin Ke immediately denied it.

"This is a photo from 20 or 30 years ago. Could your father have predicted the future? Did he know so early that his information would be declassified and made public?"

"Why isn't it possible?"

Yan Qing naturally asked back,

"You guys underestimate my dad's intelligence. Maybe this is just a trick he's used to."

In her mind, the scene of her father teaching her how to play chess suddenly appeared -

"Qingqing, Daddy has told you that the rules of chess are very simple. In the game between masters, what matters in the end is the human heart."

In front of the chessboard, Yan Sichen said meaningfully,

"So, you have to learn to hide your intentions, make a feint to the east and attack in the west, and take advantage of the situation to catch the enemy off guard. Otherwise, if the other party figures out what you want to do, he will take corresponding measures to stop you... As a last resort, you can throw a smoke bomb to confuse him first."

At that time, Yan Qing nodded, thinking that he had understood.

She reached out and moved the chess piece, "Dad, how about this?"

Yan Sichen smiled, "Qingqing, it's too obvious. Not only did you fail to deceive me, but you wasted a move - you fell into a passive position."

He took a step calmly, "General."

Looking at the layout on the chessboard, Yan Qing fell silent.

Through long-term practice, she can predict the chess game three steps ahead.

Judging from this situation, it's a dead end.

"I've been playing for so long and I lost again."

Yan Qing muttered,

"No more playing, that's all for today."

Yan Sichen laughed instead: “Hahahahaha…”

After laughing, he reached out and rubbed Yan Qing's head.

"That won't do. How can you know you've lost before the game is even over?"

"Of course I know!"

Yan Qing raised his face innocently.

"I've gone through all the steps ahead in my mind. I'm definitely going to lose."

"Okay, then Dad will switch with you."

Yan Sichen said cunningly,

"What if Dad wins?"

Yan Qing pursed his lips.

"…Then I'm convinced."

Having said that, she was obviously not convinced.

I don't even believe that Yan Sichen can turn the dead end around.

So she changed seats with her father and started the final siege with great interest.

There are not many opportunities like this.

Yan Qing also wanted to see his father being hunted down and in a miserable state.

Yan Sichen was seen moving the chess piece slowly and each move seemed to be random, but Yan Qing gradually frowned.

As the game progressed, Yan Qing's expression became more and more solemn, and she realized that her previous judgment might be wrong.

In the end, Yan Sichen won by one point.

"How is it?" Yan Sichen asked with a smile.

Yan Qing bit her lip, but still nodded convinced.

"Remember, never give up until the last moment."

Yan Sichen taught,

“This is more important than any technique.”

Yan Qing nodded, pretending to understand.

But in my mind, I was thinking that as long as I mastered the right techniques, I would never be in a "last minute" situation.

She wants to win and keep winning.
