under one roof

五

The tempered glass on the outer layer of the towering office building reflects the sun's light, blurring all the figures in the room. Zhang Jun is deploying stage tasks at one end of the long table. Vice President Zhao Qianli is also serious and serious. Yu Chen Just write and draw with a pen and paper in the corner.All signals in the confidential meeting room are shielded, and no personal communication equipment is allowed. Yu Chen's scalp numbs and his consciousness faints when he listens to those logical words. When he lowers his head, he sees a line of twisted code written on his notepad.

It was the strange code that appeared in the background that day.

Yu Chen wrote it down, and although he never saw it again, he was still surrounded by the uncomfortable feeling that the questions in his heart could not be resolved.He thought about it carefully, if according to what Zhang Jun said, the local area network of the management office is not limited to their control, then the problem is very likely to lie there.

"Then next." Zhang Jun said, "May I ask Mr. Yu to talk about it."

"Ah?" Yu Chen, who was on a errand, heard Zhang Jun calling him, and then realized that today he had arranged to do a work summary by himself.He turned the notebook upside down on the table and walked forward. Just as he was about to retrieve his files from the computer, he saw the screen flicker twice and then suddenly went off. Yu Chen was startled and looked at Zhang Jun.Zhao Qianli, who was on the side, smiled and said, "Recently, there has been construction outside, making the voltage in the office building unstable. Why don't you use my laptop first."

Zhang Jun said dissatisfiedly: "It seems that the company's financial resources are really spent on No. 4, and they can't even afford electricity."

"No.4 is your hard work. I have never seen parents who dislike their own flesh and blood so much." Zhao Qianli joked.

Yu Chen didn't understand, so he didn't lose his mind, he just thought they were joking with each other.He took Zhao Qianli's notebook and plugged it in again, recalled his part from the shared document and put it on the big screen, and the meeting went smoothly.

After the meeting, he stayed in the conference room and deleted his usage traces on Zhao Qianli's computer. This was his habit, and after all, he was a bit of a clean freak.Zhao Qianli and Zhang Jun didn't leave either, the two of them had nothing to do to chat, married men love to talk about family life, but the content is extremely boring, Yu Chen felt that Zhao Qianli was more macho than Zhang Jun during the conversation, and the rest I lost interest in listening to it, and turned my ears away.Just when everything was about to end, Yu Chen shook his hand and opened one of the paths. He didn't have the hobby of peeking at other people's privacy, so he quickly turned it off, but just by looking at it, he saw a line he was very familiar with. string.

Yu Chen froze, many thoughts flashed through his mind, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Qianli, a very ordinary middle-aged man, mainly in charge of products, basically insulated from technology, but why...

"What's wrong with Yu Gong?" Zhao Qianli also realized his gaze.

"It's nothing." Yu Chen pretended to be calm, "Mr. Zhao's computer is a bit slow, and it's time to get a new one."

Zhao Qianli said with a smile: "I can use it as long as it can be used, and it is no better than you young engineers who love to pursue new trends!"

Yu Chen also smiled, but just smiled without saying a word.

On the way back from get off work in the evening, these questions were on his mind, and his curiosity was overwhelming. The conversation between Zhao Qianli and Zhang Jun made him dig out a corner of his brain, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.He now somewhat confirms that this matter has something to do with the upper echelon, so he thinks for a while, he seems to be in the torrent of changing times, and if he is not careful, the information of all mankind may explode in an instant. Cosmic fireworks.

Before all human beings were doing anything, Yu Chen bumped headfirst into the person in front. That person's body was as hard as a steel plate, and the collision caused fireworks to explode in his head.

"Yu..."

"It's you, Mr. Yang." Yu Chen rubbed his face, seeing that the other was a neighbor next door, he swallowed all his complaints, and changed into a smile, "Walking the dog so early?"

"You got off work very early today." Yang Jian smiled, pulled the dog leash in his hand, and Xiao Tiangou reluctantly barked at Yu Chen twice.

Yu Chen really doesn't like this kind of slender dog, he loves that kind of fat little dog like a meat dumpling, it is milky when hugged, although this one in front of him is tall and straight, but it is too fierce.He just shook his hand with the dog as a greeting.

"Are there no guests today?" Yang Jian asked seemingly caringly.

"No." Yu Chen replied, "I have always lived alone, and I don't have many friends, let alone any guests."

"Well, it's kind of lonely living alone."

The two took the elevator upstairs together, they lived at the opposite door, they both opened the door and entered the house with their backs to their backs, before the door was locked, Yu Chen suddenly turned around and asked, "Has Mr. Yang had dinner yet?"

"Not yet." Yang Jian tilted his head slightly, and turned sideways to form a beautiful arc. Yu Chen felt dizzy before blurting out: "If you don't mind, come to my house and finish eating!" Drooling, he was afraid of being abrupt, and explained: "I am also alone..."

"Okay." Unexpectedly, Yang Jian readily agreed.

This time there was no music, Yu Chen asked Yang Jian about his taboos and went to the kitchen.Yang Jian doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and these questions are just nonsense. He is a guest invited by Yu Chen, so Yu Chen naturally wouldn't ask him to help, and Yang Jian didn't know those things either.Fortunately, Yu Chen's hands and feet are fast, and the dinner is ready in a short while, and it is spread on the dining table.

"What does Mr. Yang do?" Yu Chen asked casually, "Is he from a military background?" He saw that Yang Jian was physically fit and masculine, and although he loved elegant suits, he was by no means elegant, so he guessed like this.Yang Jian replied vaguely: "It's sort of it." Yu Chen didn't continue to ask, he thought that Yang Jian was free at home and would walk his dog when he was bored, which was a life he envied.

"Mr. Yang's bracelet is very delicate, what brand is it? I've never seen it before." Since Yang Jian raised his hand, Yu Chen noticed the silver bracelet with delicate texture on his wrist.Yu Chen likes these electronic products. He has never heard of the one in Yang Jian's hand, so he couldn't help asking.Seeing that his eyes were fascinated when he asked the question, Yang Jian smiled in his heart, and stretched out his hand to ask Yu Chen to look at it.

"I just bought it on a trip, it's cheap, and I can't name any brand, and the function is only to monitor body data." Yang Jian's description is simple and rude. If the Taishang Laojun hears it, his beard will straighten.

"It would be great if there were online ones." Yu Chen sighed repeatedly, his eyes were sharp, and he saw a strange code on the inside of the bracelet, not numbers or subtitles, but strange symbols.Because he didn't dare to move around Yang Jian's hand, he just admired it for a while, so Yang Jian stopped.

The two of them still ate one fast and one slow. Yu Chen dealt with codes all day long, and he was not very good at communicating with people. There were countless words in his mind, but none of them could be completely organized and uttered.The atmosphere at the dinner table couldn't be so dull, so Yu Chen asked, "I don't know Mr. Yang's name yet."

At that time, Yang Jian was drinking soup, and the spoon had just been brought to his lips, before the edge touched the thin lip line. He paused for a while, then slowly put down the spoon, pursed his lips, and said, "My name is Yang Jian."

Yu Chen felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where the familiarity came from. He only thought that the two-character name was mostly popular, and it was not easy to be cold, so he agreed: "Good name."

Yang Jian smiled.

After chatting after dinner, Yang Jian excused himself and left because he had something to do. Yu Chen said that if he was bored, he would come to him. Yang Jian smiled and didn't say yes or no.Yu Chen is actually bored, even if he doesn't work overtime at night, he has nothing to do when he goes home.After sending Yang Jian away, the somewhat popular room soon became cold. Bored, Yu Chen turned on the computer to search for the bracelet on Yang Jian's hand, but unfortunately there was no information.

"You are No.4, baby, why can't I find something?" Yu Chen said to himself, "Abba has worked so hard to waste his youth for you, and now Aba just wants to buy a bracelet. Don't drop the chain."

There is no data that NO.4 can't lock - it's just the original intention of their initial construction, the huge network ecosystem can cover every corner of the world.During the internal test, they reported enough confidence in NO.4, thinking that it was a new information change.But Yu Chen was frustrated, at least so far this search engine can't satisfy his shopping desire.

At this moment, the program he was running in the background beeped.

During the day, he quietly opened a back door to Zhao Qianli's computer for his own access, but Yang Jian forgot to entertain him at night.The data is automatically returned, and the characters are constantly swiping the screen. Yu Chen looked at it for a long time and felt that this arrangement was very familiar.

Yang Jian's bracelet!

He was shocked. Although they didn't speak the same language, the composition and structure were [-]% similar!Yu Chen sat on the chair without moving for a moment, feeling turbulent in his heart.

During this period of time, he seems to have received countless threads, none of which can pull out any content, and he doesn't know what the result will be if he follows it.Those threads like weeds were chatting wantonly, adding a suspenseful and terrifying taste to his originally peaceful life.He doesn't want to discover any more secrets, and he doesn't want to think about it anymore to scare himself. He is just a small citizen, so what's the use of doing things desperately other than satisfying his curiosity?It's not as real as working hard.

Yu Chen didn't want to scare himself, so he quickly dispelled all unrealistic thoughts, and climbed into bed to prepare for sleep.He hoped that everything would be back to normal when he woke up tomorrow. A colleague or someone told him that there was just a small bug and it had been fixed.

He counted the sheep for himself all night, and after counting, he dreamed of Yang Jian. The dream was filled with smoke, and Yang Jian didn't know what happened, so he just smiled at him.Yang Jian's appearance is extraordinary, he is serious and cold when he is not smiling, and haunting when he smiles, he hooks his fingers at himself, and Yu Chen sees a thin slit between his eyebrows and eyes, and his soul jumps out, becoming Another him, talking and laughing, winking at him.

At dawn, Yu Chen woke up. He couldn't remember the things in the dream last night clearly, only mottled shadows, and he couldn't connect them together even though he tried hard to recall.It was just a dream, Freud said it was the fulfillment of wishes, Yu Chen just thought it was nonsense, and went to work after washing up.

Every time he comes to the company, the time is about the same, but when he came today, the company building was full of smog, an ambulance and a police car were parked, and the lobby inside the building was also in a mess. He swiped his ID to enter the system and asked the neighbor Li Zhaodi: "The company went bankrupt? Why are you making such a big fuss?"

Li Zhaodi answered him in a low voice: "Something went wrong."

"what's up?"

"Mr. Zhao." Li Zhaodi raised her finger and pointed upwards, "He came to the company very early, and now it's almost time for work. His secretary went to the office to ask him to prepare for a meeting, but it turned out that he... couldn't do it."

The news came suddenly, when Li Zhaodi said this, his expression was horrified, and Yu Chen was even more astonished as if he had been struck by lightning, and then fear rose in his heart.

"I heard that it was a sudden death from myocardial infarction. The ambulance disappeared before it arrived." Li Zhaodi continued, "The police are here, I don't know what the end result will be." Seeing Yu Chen in a daze, she pushed him, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

"I, I'm fine...it was too sudden." Yu Chen swallowed, "I had a meeting with him yesterday..."

Li Zhaodi sighed: "Hey, things are impermanent."

This matter spread in the company almost without stopping for a second, and it was like an explosion. Zhao Qianli's body was carried away, and the police made a symbolic statement. It's just that sudden death is hard to say. , They are in a high-pressure industry, and it is not surprising that a few people die every year, but Zhao Qianli is a high-level executive, so there is naturally a lot of movement.

The company is so big, there is still work to be done, but Yu Chen is sitting on the seat as if falling into an ice cave, with countless thoughts in his heart pulling him, and his fingers can't help trembling.

Emails were constantly jumping at the bottom of his computer screen, and Zhang Jun was looking for him.He stood up and went to Zhang Jun's office in a daze.

"Zhang Gong?" Yu Chen knocked on the door.

Zhang Jun had a dark face, as if trying to suppress his anger.

"You looking for me?" Yu Chen asked, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Zhao passed away unexpectedly, and the security department is thoroughly investigating the surveillance system." Zhang Jun's forehead had faint veins, "Last night at 43:[-], where were you?"

"I'm sleeping at home."

Zhang Jun slapped the monitor over and said angrily, "Then tell me who this is!"

The blurry black and white picture shows that this is a certain location in the office building. The time is fixed at 43:[-] in the morning. The surrounding is pitch black, but there is an extremely clear face.

It's Yu Chen.
