Ashes in the crematorium

The road was congested like a siege valley, packed tightly together without leaving any gaps.

And Li Ran's shadow was walking in the gap, with a relaxed and familiar riding posture, leaving these cars marked as cows, horses, and four circles far behind.

It's just that he is wearing a formal suit and his back is busy, looking like a rush office worker who works from nine to five.

The driver joked, "What is Mr. Li doing? It looks funny."

Ren Wanlin looked at Li Ran's back, his calm eyes were suddenly covered with gloom, and he paused for a few seconds before speaking, "I'm tired of living a comfortable life, I guess I'm changing my mood."

The savings on his body will not allow him to be a busy office worker. He has no reason to go to work.

Li Ran arrived at the company in half an hour, which was half the time compared to yesterday. The company has a special rest area, so he bought breakfast and went to the rest area.

Thinking that he came early enough, but unexpectedly the lights in the boss's office were still on, Li Ran drank soy milk while watching the boss come out sleepily, and went to the toilet with the toiletries in his hand.

I guess I haven't woken up yet, and I didn't see him when I passed the lounge.

Li Ran was eating breakfast seriously, and the boss who came out of the toilet sat down next to him, and said, "I just went to work yesterday, how are you? Is there nothing wrong with it?"

While the boss was concerned about the new colleague, his eyes wandered over the egg in Li Ran's hand, and he swallowed.

Li Ran Zhiqu passed the eggs over, "I bought too much for breakfast, and I can't finish all the eggs, boss, would you like to eat?"

Zhang Zhi didn't know how to hide the surprise in his eyes, and said bluntly, "It's not good to waste food. My biggest hobby is thrift."

After eating, I also helped him solve the remaining soy milk by the way.

While watching the boss gobble it up, Li Ran asked, "Did you sleep in the company yesterday?"

"Last night, a customer was in a hurry to rush an order, and he cleared the goods all night. I was exhausted."

Li Ran glanced at the mess on the ground, the cauliflower coat the boss wore yesterday was still lying on the ground alone, probably he had been left out all night.

"Are you alone?" Li Ran asked again.

"It's already two o'clock in the evening, and the workers are all snoring in bed, so there is not much at all, and it can be done if one is tired."

Li Ran didn't know what to say at once, it was really not easy for this boss, he had to unload the goods himself in order to order, and he couldn't pay more wages, so he could only rely on a lunch to win sympathy.

"To be honest, I was quite surprised when I was hired." In the morning, there were only the two of them, seeing the hard-working people in front of them, Li Ran couldn't help but say these words.

Zhang Zhi didn't have the airs of a boss either, so we chatted with him, "My company doesn't know how many people have recruited, and I can't even count them, but I can count the ones who stayed, and I don't know if this group of newcomers will be able to stay in the end." How many down?"

He sighed and sighed, "Tsk, such a shallow fate."

"I heard that your family runs a farmhouse, and the benefits should be good, right? Why didn't you think about inheriting the family business?" Li Ran asked.

Zhang Zhi shook his head, looking at Li Ran with bright eyes, "You have to have a little dream, otherwise what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"

Li Ran has always thought that this boss is nonsense, but at this moment, he actually thinks that this boss is actually quite cute.

"Your dream is to sell robot vacuums?" Li Ran asked.

Zhang Zhi stood up, patted Li Ran on the shoulder, and signaled him to come over.

Li Ran followed Zhang Zhi to his office, the inside was in a mess, there was a folding bed in the corner, and a large pile of data waste paper formed a small hill, and there seemed to be something buried underneath.

Li Ran picked up the two pieces of paper at his feet, and took a look. One was covering the path planning plan, and there was also a walking status table, which looked quite professional.

There is something stirring under a large pile of discarded data, and it seems that it is struggling to rush out.

Zhang Zhi scratched open the data paper with his feet, and it seemed that there were fewer obstacles. He felt the things inside, and immediately seized the opportunity to rush out.

However, the car didn't stop much, and directly hit Li Ran's heel, Li Ran jumped back subconsciously, looking at the perpetrator in horror.

A knee-high bare ellipsoidal machine, two chubby hands, and a round head with an LCD screen, and then changed into a panicked expression.

This little robot, as if it still knew the pain, actually shook twice, and then politely apologized, "I'm sorry!"

The voice was quite similar to Xiao Ran's, and Li Ran's attention was immediately attracted by the little robot.

"What is this?" Li Ran asked curiously.

Zhang Zhi squatted down, his eyes overflowing with fatherly love, and he played with the robot gently and carefully, "This is a multi-functional sweeping robot developed by Chi You and I, Xiaobai."

Li Ran asked, "Multifunctional?"

In his impression, the sweeping robot is just a round plate. Although the system structure is simple, it can already meet the daily cleaning function, but this is really not like it.

Zhang Zhi looked proud. He looked like an old father whose son had been admitted to a key university. "It can not only sweep and mop the floor, humidify, remove irritability and purify the air, but also has the function of feeding pets. Recently, I want to add a function of chatting with you." , to create a multifunctional household cleaning robot, benefiting tens of millions of single dogs who live alone.”

"Your ambition is quite lofty." Li Ran said looking at Zhang Zhi's bright eyes and talking.

"It's not easy." Li Ran said directly.

"If a dream is too easy, it is not a dream, right?" Zhang Zhi said.

Hearing this sentence, Li Ran couldn't help but look up at Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Zhi patted Xiaobai's head, and Xiaobai swung two casters in circles under his feet, and after two circles, he rushed towards Li Ran.

Seeing it coming, Li Ran's heel suddenly felt a little painful, and he raised one foot reflexively, watching the out-of-control Xiaobai jump out from under his feet, and with a bang, he made an intimate contact with the hard wall. Embrace.

Xiaobai cried twice in a mechanical voice, then raised his head and innocently looked at the wall, "Excuse me, am I your father?"

The walls don't speak.

Xiaobai bumped into it again, cried twice after bumping into it, and repeated the sentence again.

Li Ran glanced at Xiao Bai, and then said to Zhang Zhi, "Your dream still has a long way to go."

Zhang Zhi frowned seriously, and then rubbed his chin with his fingers. Xiaobai, who seemed to be a defective product, gave him a headache. "Now he has the ability to perceive, respond to external obstacles, and has basic action functions. But it's not perfect."

Zhang Zhi raised his head suddenly, looked at Li Ran and asked, "Do you know what else he lacks?"

Li Ran didn't expect Zhang Zhi to ask him suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "What's missing?"

Zhang Zhi patted Dabai's head, "He still lacks a head, a head that can think." After speaking, he sighed with a headache, patted Li Ran on the shoulder and went out.

Li Ran looked at Xiaobai who was squatting by the wall in despair, a trace of interest appeared on his desireless face, he squatted down, and then tentatively called to it, "Come here!"

Hearing Li Ran's voice, Xiao Bai started the wheels and staggered towards him, then raised his square head and asked innocently, "Excuse me, am I your father?"

Li Ran flicked Xiao Bai's forehead, "I am your father!"

Xiaobai cried twice, raised his short hand high, and seemed to want to cover his forehead, but he couldn't reach it, and finally made the effect of surrender.

Li Ran looked at Xiaobai's foolish look, the corners of his mouth raised.

After returning to his work station, Chi You also came after a while, dressed in comfortable sportswear, he greeted Li Ran, "You are here so early?"

Li Ran turned on the computer, familiarized himself with programming tools that he hadn't touched in six years, and said, "I'm afraid of traffic jams, so I came early."

Fingers touched the keyboard, Li Ran put his hand down on it, motionless, as if it was sealed.

The first thing Chi You did when he came was to boil a pot of water, and then take out scented tea from the drawer. While making the tea, he observed Li Ran and said, "Basic learning algorithms, as well as image recognition, are all still there. Will it?"

Li Ran nodded, "It's been a few years since I've been in touch, I'm afraid they are unfamiliar, and my fingers are stiff."

Chi You poured a cup of ginger jujube tea and placed it next to Li Ran, "Take it as a warm-up first, and you can ask me anytime if you have any questions."

Li Ran nodded.

The keyboard began to sound, intermittently at first, with a slow rhythm, as if he was groping step by step, and then Li Ran's fingers became faster and faster, jumping loosely on the keyboard, as if he was proficient.Chi You was next to him, listening to the crackling sound of the keyboard.

Li Ran was so absorbed that he forgot the time for a while, until the phone rang, Li Ran took out his phone, looked at the strange number on it, and glanced at Chi You, "Can I answer private calls?"

Chi You looked indifferent, "Go ahead, you don't have to be so serious here, but it's okay to interrupt my work by talking on the phone."

Li Ran answered the phone, "Hi, how are you?"

A loud male voice came from the phone, "Mr. Li, right? I'm from Lianjia. You listed a flat in Yushui Mingwan on the Internet, right?"

"it's me."

"Would you like to rent or sell it? If it is for sale, I suggest you not to sell it for the time being. The housing market is not very stable during this period. You may consider selling it after a while."

While listening to the phone, Li Ran scraped the desktop with his hands, "It's fine, I'm not in a hurry, but I want to rent a house, a one-bedroom apartment near Tianheng International, do you have any listings there?"

"I can look for it for you first. If it's convenient for me to add you on WeChat, this is the number, right. I'll send you the picture later, you can take a look first."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." After speaking briefly, Li Ran hung up the phone.

After listening to a few words, Chi You asked casually, "Are you looking for a house?"

Li Ran hummed, "The place where I live is a bit far away, and it's easy to get stuck in traffic in the morning, so I want to rent something closer."

Chi You said again, "It's not cheap to rent a house around here."

"I don't care about that." Li Ran said that casually, without any pressure in his tone, Chi You looked up at Li Ran at this moment.

The phone in the office rang, and Chi You picked it up, saying, okay, I see.

Then he quickly put down the visor in the office, and when he unbuttoned the first collar, Chi You paused.

He looked at Li Ran, "I want to change clothes now, do I need to avoid it?"

Li Ran wasn't that twitchy, and didn't raise his head, "It's okay, you can change it, don't worry about me."

Chi You changed his clothes, and then said to Li Ran, "I'm going out soon, I have a business to discuss, you can go with me, and get acquainted with some of the company's business by the way."
