rainy night talk

After that day, Chen Zhen refused to meet with William again.He wrote a 54-page report to the other party to analyze the disadvantages of their situation, and 13% of the content was defined as "dangerous" by Chen Zhen.

"This is indeed your style." The old man commented, "But do you think this can convince the other party?"

"I don't have too many expectations." Chen Zhen replied, "But... at least this kind of behavior is annoying enough."

The old man couldn't help laughing, "Then did you succeed?"

"...No." Chen Zhen showed some frustration on his face, "He replied me with an email—it was a sentence." At this point, Chen Zhen paused again, as if hesitating whether to say something Going down, there is a layer of thin red on the cheeks, or it may be roasted by the fire. "He said——I long to follow the direction of fate, and walk straight into your heart calmly, without hesitation, remorse, or jealousy."

"Oh~" the old man let out an exclamation voice, and he shouted: "Romantic!"

Chen Zhen felt that his face was almost burning.

On the contrary, when Chen Zhen received the letter, he had no other thoughts except feeling speechless.He brewed a lot of "incomprehensible style" words, intending to continue to wake up a certain sentinel who was obsessed and dazzled by the thought wave.

"Who is this guy named William!"

The sound of the sudden explosion in his ear scared Chen Zhen almost to the point of throwing his light brain away.

"Louis..." Chen Zhen turned around and found that his colleague Jian Faxiao was in an unspeakable explosive state, "You scared me."

"It was you who scared me!" Louis complained, "I only went on a business trip for half a month, and when I came back, I found that you, a workaholic who has been facing a bunch of programs in 24 public universes, are actually married? And I don't know anything about it! If I didn't find out that your ID card showed you were married when I paid the rent for you, would you have planned to keep it from me?"

Thanks to the reassuring sound insulation system in the workplace, Chen Zhen saw the corridor through the one-way light-transmitting glass, and made sure that no one would enter this room for the time being.

Chen Zhen decided to ignore the maddened Louis. He called up the control center from his optical brain, moved his chair and sat in front of an AI that needed to be repaired.

"Good morning, Emily."

Emily woke up from a deep sleep. She sat neatly on a round chair, with long soft brown hair hanging on her shoulders, and a sunny smile projected from her dark green eyes, "Good morning, doctor."

Emily was one of the first AIs that Chen Zhen made when he joined the team.She was asked by the applicant to make her look like his dead wife, and through implanting memories, her personality was infinitely close to that of the woman named "Emily".

Emily is Chen Zhen's proud work, and the applicant was very satisfied with her at the beginning, but for some reason, in recent years, Emily has undergone more and more inspections. The damage caused caused Emily to be sent to Chen Zhen again—Emily's entire right hand was broken.

"Let's try our skills again." Chen Zhen looked at the optical brain and quickly modified several programs.

Emily received the instruction, she gracefully picked up a pearl earring, moved her fingertips to her right ear, stopped, her eyes blinked playfully, the corners of her mouth were perfectly curved, and the side of her head was perfectly angled, "Honey, what do you think?" Sample?"

"Not much." Louis said preemptively, feeling extremely angry when he was ignored.He secretly swore that if Chen Zhen didn't make it clear today, he would never give up.

Chen Zhen, who was interrupted from work, was a little dissatisfied, but he quickly lost the battle under Louis' stern gaze.

Chen Zhen tried to beg for mercy, "I don't know what to say, Louis."

Louis pulled up a chair and sat down decisively. "I ask, you answer."

Ten minutes later, Louis' roar filled the room again, "Those bastards dare to sue you! I [beep——] fuck him [beep——] [beep——]"

Lewis puts his rich vocabulary on full display, paired with witty phrases.Chen Zhen looked worriedly at Emily, who was still smiling brightly with her earrings in her hands, and prayed that her language system would not be able to input this conversation into the template.

After Louis scolded Shu Tan, he came back to his senses and lamented: "My poor Chen Zhen, you have been living so badly these days, no one can comfort you..."

Chen Zhen moved his eyes to the side again, and the place where his eyes fell was...

"Ai-mi-li?" Louis said the name almost through gritted teeth. "You told her?"

"...Well... I deleted that data afterwards."

"That's not the point!" Louis broke down and raised his hand, refusing to listen to any excuses from Chen Zhen, "Enough, now I finally know where I am in your heart." Louis choked and covered his chest, "I feel very Sad, my heart is cut like a knife, my heart is like dead ashes, when I close my eyes, it will be dark..."

Until Louis left with a broken heart, Chen Zhen was in a daze.He defined all this as time-delayed anxiety caused by long-term space travel and a closed environment, and comforted himself: it will be fine in a few days.

In fact, within a few days, Louis did turn back into the impeccable Louis, or in other words, it was the sudden trouble that made Louis no longer want to tangle with his friends.

"The AI ​​transport personnel we made for the security company suffered a collective data loss during a certain space jump." Chen Zhen stated, "Our team hopes to recover and inspect this batch of AI, but the other party uses AI to carry commercial secrets. data grounds to deny our request."

"I know about it." The old man said: "The core members of that company have military backgrounds, so the so-called 'commercial' secrets may be more 'military'."

Chen Zhen nodded in agreement.

The tough attitude of the other party aroused the dissatisfaction of some engineers.They firmly believe that there is no problem with the program they wrote, that AI will not "lose memory" for no reason, and they cannot take the blame for this accident.

After many negotiations, the security company finally agreed to allow three engineers who had not participated in the development to inspect the batch of AI, and Chen Zhen was one of them.
