Tao Zhiyue had forgotten what he talked about with the HR guy last night. It was basically about them giving each other the "nice guy" card. Anyway, they had a simple understanding of each other to facilitate subsequent communication, Tao Zhiyue comforted himself in this way.
After lunch, Tao Zhiyue took a nap on the table and became a little more conscious.
He took out his cell phone, opened pp, and scrolled up the chat history of last night. He found that the man disappeared while he was talking, leaving only HR brother talking to himself.
Tao Zhiyue felt a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to send a message.
[Tao: Good afternoon. I accidentally fell asleep yesterday. I didn’t mean to not reply.]
[Tao: I get off work at six every day, have dinner at eight, and go to bed at ten-thirty. If it’s convenient for you, we can communicate between eight and ten in the evening.]
Tao Zhiyue waited for a while, but there was no reply from the other end, probably he was busy.
He ignored it and opened the Little Green Bird IT Technology Exchange Community to see what hot topics there were recently.
He was so focused on the screen that he didn't notice that a figure flashed past behind him.
Tao Zhiyue's nickname in the Little Green Bird community is also Tao. He occasionally posts some technical discussions and occasionally responds to other people's help posts.
Because every time he responded, the content of his reply was to the point, the solutions he provided were concise and practical, and he did not have the airs of a great man and was very patient in answering a variety of questions, he gradually gained a lot of fans in the community.
Now every time he posts, there will be a group of people taking photos and checking in, so unless there are technical problems that bother him, he rarely speaks up and just quietly becomes a lurker.
But the list of online members will be displayed at the bottom of the community. Most people may not pay attention to it, but some people who want to get him to work on a project together have been paying attention to him persistently.
One of the best among them even wrote a small program, which would display a screen full of red text on all his electronic devices as soon as he went online.
A minute later, Tao Zhiyue indeed received a new private message.
[gua: Ah!! Taotao, you are here!! You have not been online for seven days, eight hours and three minutes!!]
[Tao: … ]
[Tao: Hello, quack.]
[gua: You haven't been online for so long. Are you too busy with work? Are you being exploited by your black-hearted boss?]
[gua: Why not quit your job and come work for me! Afternoon tea at Sunshine Villa, the boss is handsome and obedient, and you will get free shares when you join the company/Rose/Rose/Rose]
Tao Zhiyue was amused by him. Gua was a programmer he met when he posted before. The two of them had a lot in common when discussing technical issues. Tao Zhiyue happened to have done some research in the direction that Gua was interested in in his previous life. As a result, Gua regarded him as a close friend and always wanted to drag him to work on projects together.
The company he's working for now is really a waste of talent for Tao Zhiyue. The games they make are relatively simple. They are mostly reskinned games with established systems and are not challenging at all.
But this is also the result of Tao Zhiyue's careful selection. He learned from the lesson of his previous company being favored by the Huo family, so he chose this small company whose future development direction has absolutely no characteristics and innovations.
[Tao: Although I am touched by your persistence, you know my answer.]
[gua: No!! I just got rejected when I confessed to a girl yesterday, just take it as comforting me, don’t reject this poor guagua againqaq]
[Tao: …My condolences.]
[Tao: Then, I still have to ask, can the company not raise funds within two years? As a veteran, can I not have contact with anyone other than the company's employees? Or, can I always work remotely and not show up in my real identity?]
Tao Zhiyue is a very responsible person. When the company where he makes a living is noticed by the Huo family, he can resign without any burden.
But if the company he co-founded has a great opportunity to cooperate with the Huo family, he cannot block it because of his own selfishness. This is unfair to those who fight side by side with him, even if this opportunity may have come because of him.
[gua: Ahhh why are you so against money! ]
[gua: Why!! Why is there such a weird request! Even if it’s social phobia, it’s too exaggerated!!!]
[gua: To be honest, you hate the rich, and you can't control your evil hands when you see the capital father! ]
[Tao: No... I'm just vengeful.]
[gua:? Hatred? Is this a name for a superstitious activity?]
[Tao: You won’t understand.]
[Tao: I am under pressure that shouldn’t be felt at this age.jpg]
Huo Ran, who had just woken up, suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose, stretched comfortably, and then nestled motionless in the soft quilt, recalling last night's beautiful dream.
Ever since being pursued crazily by a group of male friends, Huo Ran hasn't had such a good sleep for a long time.
During this month, whenever he arrived at the company, he would always see someone holding flowers waiting for him in the reception room, and when he went into the office, he would see the assistant's blushing face.
He skipped work yesterday and stayed at home all day, but someone came to his house in the middle of the night and wanted to throw himself into his arms. Huo Ran, who had never seen such a scene, was almost scared to death.
And it wasn't just like this when he was awake. Every night he lay in bed, tossing and turning in worry, unable to fall asleep. When he finally fell asleep, he would dream of a man he didn't know being very affectionate with him. He was so startled that he woke up with a somersault.
Huo Ran, whose body and mind were devastated, became increasingly haggard, so he confided his tragic experience to his best childhood friend, hoping to find a solution.
After a long silence, my childhood friend asked quietly, "Will you be with one of them?"
Huo Ran: "Of course not! I don't like men!!"
Childhood friend: "So you won't consider me either, right?"
Huo Ran:
Huo Ran: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Therefore, Huo Ran never dared to mention these things to his acquaintances again, for fear of accidentally revealing some long-buried secret.
After much thought, Huo Ran decided to seek help from the mysterious world of the Internet. He opened the search engine and solemnly typed in "What to do if being pursued by someone of the same sex".
Then he met Director Tao of the Seventh Mental Hospital of Jinbei City, a kind and considerate doctor.
Huo Ran originally wanted to tell Dr. Tao his name, occupation and living environment in detail. Although he had never searched for a doctor online, a psychiatrist in real life should need to understand the patient's true situation.
However, Dr. Tao was kind enough to tell him that he should not reveal his real identity information online. Huo Ran thought about it and deleted the self-introduction he had already written.
He should respect what Dr. Tao said. Perhaps this is the special feature of online medical treatment.
Huo Ran was very unfamiliar with the online world, so he was cautious and respectful.
He talked with Dr. Tao until very late last night, complaining about his fearful life and praising Dr. Tao madly for his selfless dedication, but Dr. Tao did not respond later.
… I don’t know if Dr. Tao is annoyed with him.
Huo Ran was a little worried, so he quickly got up, put on his clothes, ran to the study, turned on the computer, and logged into the pp.
Although his antique keypad phone could also download pp, the screen was very small and the operation was inconvenient, so it was not possible to chat normally. Huo Ran had never used it.
In his eyes, mobile phones are used to make calls and send text messages.
There are unread messages from Dr. Tao on pp.
[Tao: Good afternoon. I accidentally fell asleep yesterday. I didn’t mean to not reply.]
[Tao: I get off work at six o'clock every day, have dinner at eight o'clock, and go to bed at ten thirty. If it is convenient for you, we can communicate between eight and ten o'clock in the evening.]
There was a lot of noise around me, and excitement and anticipation were written on everyone's face. Many cosplayers dressed as popular game characters were walking in the crowd. Many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures, and there were also some professional photographers carrying long/short cameras and constantly clicking.
Tao Zhiyue touched the mask on his face to make sure it was properly put on before walking to the back of the queue for ordinary audiences and waiting quietly to enter.
I have been living alone for too long, and it is a bit difficult to get used to seeing such a large crowd of people after such a long time.
In front of him were two very lively girls, chattering away.
"Which pavilion should we go to first?"
"Hall A1, there is a demo of the War of the Roses that I am so looking forward to!!!"
"Isn't that the game with beautiful graphics and all cute female characters?"
"Yes, yes, I and many sisters have made reservations for the public beta, but I don't know if I can queue up for the trial today. I heard that someone queued for eight hours for last year's popular game and still didn't get a chance to play it qaq"
"I believe you can do it! Ah, look - that sister from Yusa is so pretty, so cool! Left, left!"
Tao Zhiyue, who was forced to listen, couldn't help but look over. It was a female cosplayer wearing European and American makeup and tight clothes. She was indeed very beautiful.
The short-haired girl who happened to turn her head also caught a glimpse of Tao Zhiyue's action from the corner of her eye. She immediately poked her companion's hand and whispered in his ear: "Look behind! What a handsome boy!"
"Let me see, they are wearing masks, how can you tell..."
"Keep your voice down or someone will hear you!" The short-haired girl lowered her voice even more. "His eyes are so pretty, how can he not be handsome! Ah, I really want to take off the mask and see the handsome guy in full glory!"
… In fact, he also heard this sentence.
Tao Zhiyue felt a little embarrassed, luckily he had a mask to hide his expression, otherwise he would have blushed.
When Tao Zhiyue first entered the book, he looked in the mirror and found that this body looked exactly like himself when he was a few years younger. Even some subtle physical features were exactly the same. It was as if he had come here with his soul, and he felt an inexplicable sense of security.
That's why he accepted the bizarre thing of traveling through a book so quickly.
If he woke up after death and found himself in someone else's body, he would probably be so frightened that his heart would stop and he would die right there again.
Tao Zhiyue used to be busy with work and unkempt. He wore a plaid shirt, which is standard for programmers, every day. Due to the high intensity of work, he became nearsighted. He wore a pair of old-fashioned black-framed glasses on his nose and his hair was messy. Occasionally, female colleagues lamented that his handsome facial features were buried, but he just took it as a joke.
After experiencing a life-and-death moment and waking up again, he still chose to live an ordinary, routine life, but something had changed.
He had heard people say that appearance is determined by the heart before, but his understanding was superficial at that time. Even now, when Tao Zhiyue looked at himself in the mirror while washing his face in the morning, he often felt dazed.
The same skeleton and skin, but he looks like a completely different person.
However, due to his narrow social circle, Tao Zhiyue seldom heard comments about himself from others. His colleagues would sometimes flatter him jokingly, but he felt that this was due to his relatively good business ability and never took it seriously.
Some girls from the company next door asked him out, but because they were shy, they were often reserved, so after he politely declined, there was usually no follow-up.
So when a girl of similar age praised him in person in an exaggerated manner, Tao Zhiyue felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously touched his hot ears.
