my pokemon player.

"Hello, Xiao Hao, are you home now?"

As soon as the call was connected, Director Li eagerly asked where Hao Ren was without waiting for Hao Ren to say hello.

"I'm at home. Director, do you want to talk to me about something?" Hao Ren responded.

This Director Li was the team leader to whom he had reported before, but compared to team leader, Director Li preferred to be called director.

"It's good that you're at home. Our department is holding an emergency meeting tonight, and your superiors specifically asked you to attend. You should know the reason, right?"

At the end, Director Li's tone was a little unnatural, and it sounded like he was testing something.

Hao Ren curled his lips and replied calmly: "I know, it's because of that virtual reality game."

"Yes, it's the game I asked you to track down. When you reported the information to me, I noticed something was wrong, so I asked you to investigate it in depth. Have you made any progress during this period?"

Director Li's tone was gentle and smiling. At first glance, I thought he was concerned about Hao Ren's work, but in fact...
"When did you ask me to investigate further? I remember you scolded me severely, and now that something has happened you are thinking of me again."

Hao Ren was angry when he heard this, and thought to himself:
"It seems that this matter has attracted great attention from the superiors, otherwise Director Li, who always likes to speak in an official tone, would not be so direct. He just asked me to share the credit and avoid responsibility."

Although Hao Ren was very unhappy with Director Li's behavior, Director Li was his leader after all, and one had to bow his head under someone's eaves.

So Hao Ren said with a fake smile: "Thanks to your valuable advice, I didn't want to alert the enemy and went undercover among the player group first. I have indeed made some progress recently."

When Director Li heard this, he immediately smiled and praised: "Okay, okay, I asked you to be in charge of this matter because I saw your cleverness and adaptability. You really didn't let me down!"

Listening to the distorted laughter on the phone, Hao Ren said with a fake smile: "Thank you for giving me this opportunity to exercise."

"That's nothing. I often give young people opportunities, but whether you can grasp them depends on your own ability."

"Oh, right." Director Li suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Don't submit your annual assessment materials for last year for now. Wait until the meeting is over. I'll have the office re-polish them for you and try to get an excellent rating, so as not to slow down your promotion."

Hao Ren raised his eyebrows and thanked him repeatedly, "Then I would like to thank you first, Director."

"What's there to thank for? We all work in the same department, so we should help each other."

Director Li's tone became more relaxed: "Okay, time is urgent, I won't talk to you any more."

"You should quickly organize the results of your investigations during this period. It would be best if you could come to the office in advance to let me have a look. I will then help you find out what you have missed and teach you how to report to your superiors so that you can leave a good impression on them."

Hao Ren chuckled and responded, "Okay, I'll go sort it out right away."

"Well, be sure to pay attention to safety on the road."

After saying that, Director Li hung up the phone.

Looking at the darkened phone screen, Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh.

Although the call was not long, he still felt deeply tired in his heart.

In fact, he is not good at dealing with these complicated things. Compared with the various unspoken rules and interest exchanges in the real world, he still prefers the innocent and pure Pokémon in the game.

I thought the Cybersecurity Department was different from other departments and only focused on technical level and business capabilities, but now it seems that there are a lot of messes going on.

Maybe I am really not suitable for this job, but it is too late to resign now.

If this game had not become popular and attracted the attention of his superiors, he would still have the opportunity to resign and at most sign a few confidentiality agreements, and would not be able to engage in network-related work in the future.

However, given that this game has caused such a huge impact, I can't even think about resigning until this matter is properly handled.

After all, he was the only beta tester in the department. How could the leaders agree to his resignation?

"Alas, we said that there would be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. Now we can only take it one step at a time."

Hao Ren said helplessly, then stood up, picked up the gaming helmet, and prepared to return to the unit to sort out the report materials.

Fortunately, he has the habit of leaving traces when he works, otherwise the information would be difficult to organize.

"After finishing the work, I had to send it to Director Li. He said he was helping me check for missing information, but in fact, he just wanted to take a look at the information in advance so that he would have a clear idea of ​​what was going on and avoid being clueless when asked questions in the meeting."

"After he finished reading the materials and answered questions fluently at the meeting, I thought he was always paying attention to the progress of this matter. He is such a veteran!"

Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh, if only he could be the director, just the ability to remain calm in an emergency and share the credit with just one phone call was enough for him to learn.

"Forget it, why think so much, just do your own thing first."

Hao Ren shook his head, not thinking any more, then put on his gaming helmet and left his nest.

After going downstairs, he rode his beloved electric scooter and rushed towards the office.

What? Aren't you in a hurry? Why don't you drive?
Come on, this is Kyoto. Walking is faster than driving during the evening rush hour. Hao Ren doesn't want to be stuck in traffic.

Moreover, Hao Ren's workplace was not very far from his home. He arrived at the workplace in a short while and went to his workstation to sort out the documents.

Thanks to the traces of his previous work and the fact that there was not much information about this game, he quickly organized the information and printed it out.

"Dong Dong~"

Hao Ren knocked on Director Li's office door with the warm documents in his hand.

"Please come in."

Director Li's voice reached Hao Ren's ears. He pushed open the door and saw Director Li's smiling face.

"Xiao Hao is here, come and sit down."

"Good evening, Director. This is the information I just compiled. Please review it and make corrections."

Hao Ren walked to the table with a smile and handed the information to Director Li with both hands.

"Don't worry, sit down first and I'll pour you a glass of water."

Director Li first took the information, glanced at it, and then the smile on his face became even brighter. He then asked Hao Ren to sit down, picked up the cup and poured water for Hao Ren himself.

Hao Ren quickly declined, "Director, you are too polite. I can do it myself."

Director Li waved his hand, motioning Hao Ren to sit down, and then took a glass of water and handed it to Hao Ren. "You are our great contributor, so it is only right that I get you some water."

Hao Ren bowed slightly and took the cup with both hands: "Thank you, Director. I am not a hero at all. I just followed your instructions. If there is any hero, it should be you."

Director Li laughed and said, "Hahahaha, why didn't I realize you were so good at talking before?"

Hao Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Now that you mention it, Director, I'm worried that maybe I've said too many wrong things in the past, and I just got it right today."

"You, you..." Director Li stretched out his hand and nodded at Hao Ren twice, his eyes full of admiration.

"Okay, enough polite words. Drink your water first while I take a look at the materials."

Director Li picked up the materials on the table and looked through them carefully.

Since there wasn't much content, it didn't take him long, but the content shocked him greatly.

"Are you sure these materials are authentic?"

Director Li put down the information, frowned slightly, looked at Hao Ren and asked.

Hao Ren nodded firmly: "I confirm that a lot of the content in the information is my personal experience."

Director Li shook his head and said, "It's unbelievable. I didn't expect that a virtual reality game would appear on the market without anyone noticing!"

"No wonder the superiors took it so seriously. It was me who was a little careless."

Hao Ren said seriously: "Director, you are too modest. No one could have imagined that this virtual reality game was real. It was only at your suggestion that I thought of experiencing this game."

"In the final analysis, it was because of your timely supervision that we were able to avoid greater omissions."

Director Li raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "That's what I said, but the superiors won't listen to your explanation, they only look at the results."

"Fortunately, the result this time was not too bad. Although the impact of this game was not small, the public opinion was quickly brought under control and did not cause any negative impact."

"The content of this emergency meeting is supposed to be to discuss how to deal with this game. Do you have any ideas?"

Hao Ren shook his head repeatedly: "How can I think of a suitable way to deal with such a big matter? I'd better leave it to you and your superiors to decide."

Director Li looked at Hao Ren deeply and said with a smile: "That's true. Let's listen to what the leaders have to say."

"You will sit next to me during the meeting. The person presiding over this meeting is Deputy Director Wang. He is very decisive in his style of doing things and hates procrastination and bureaucracy the most."

"So you must be clear and concise when you report later. Just answer whatever he asks you. Don't say useless clichés. Do you understand?"

Hao Ren said seriously, "I see. Thank you for your reminder."

Seeing that Hao Ren looked a little nervous, Director Li smiled and comforted him:
"Don't be too nervous. I will secretly remind you and help you when necessary."

Upon hearing this, Hao Ren expressed his gratitude to Director Li again. The two chatted in the office for a while until someone notified them to attend a meeting, and then they came out of the office.

Although I don't know what they talked about, it's not difficult to tell from their smiles that they were having a very pleasant chat.

The two of them came to the conference room together, and Director Li took Hao Ren to greet the other team leaders.

Seeing this, the other team leaders realized that Director Li had already made the meritorious Hao Ren his confidant. While cursing Director Li for being shameless in their hearts, they nodded to Hao Ren in a relatively friendly manner.

Only one or two team leaders who knew the inside story had meaningful smiles on their faces.

Before the team leaders could exchange a few words of greeting, several figures pushed the door open in a hurry.

Deputy Director Wang, who was in the lead, came to the main seat, put down the materials in his hand, and first looked around at the team leaders who stood up. His eyes lingered on Director Li and Hao Ren for a moment.

Then he got straight to the point and said, "Everyone, please take a seat. This is an urgent matter. I won't say any more official words or clichés. I'm sure you all know me and the content of this meeting."

While Deputy Director Wang was speaking, his assistant had already turned on the projector and projected the official website of "Pokemon World" onto the screen.

"Yes, the content of our meeting this time is this game that claims to be 100% virtual reality!"

Deputy Director Wang pointed at the screen and said, "I know that even now some people still think that this game is false propaganda and calling an emergency meeting is making a fuss over nothing."

"So I can tell you responsibly that we have discussed and studied this with our colleagues in the department, and this virtual reality game is very likely to be real."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

They all knew what Deputy Director Wang meant by the colleague department. If they were responsible for maintaining Xia Country's network security, then the colleague department was maintaining the security of the real world.

The other party has much more power and ability than them. Since their colleagues in the department believe that this game is real, no matter how much they doubt the authenticity of this game, they have to treat this game as an established fact.

Deputy Director Wang took in everyone's reactions. A hint of satisfaction flashed across his eyes. Then he frowned and said in a heavy tone:
"It's embarrassing to say that as a cybersecurity department, we shoulder the responsibility of maintaining Xiaguo's cybersecurity. We should have been the first to notice the impact and public opinion caused by this game."

"However, the fact is that we didn't know about the existence of this game until our colleagues in the department asked us for assistance in investigating this game!"

At this point, Deputy Director Wang slammed the table heavily and said, "This is a great shame! If other departments knew about this, we would lose all face!"

"As a cybersecurity department, we actually have to rely on reminders from colleagues to discover online public opinion. You don't feel ashamed, but I do!"

"What are you guys doing? Playing Minesweeper on the computer? Do you want me to approve your leave so you can go home and have fun?!"

Faced with Deputy Director Wang's reprimand, most of the team leaders lowered their heads. Only Director Li raised his head calmly, facing Deputy Director Wang's scrutinizing gaze with a smile on his lips.

Deputy Director Wang narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this, and said in a slow tone, "Fortunately, there are still people in our department who are willing to work diligently, saving the last bit of face of our department."

"Team Leader Li, the young man next to you is Hao Ren, right?" Deputy Director Wang suddenly asked Director Li.

Director Li quickly stood up and said, "Yes, he is Comrade Hao Ren from our group. Although he is young, he is very serious about his work and his technical level is also very high."

"Okay, you just need to answer me yes or no!" Deputy Director Wang interrupted impatiently.

Director Li's expression froze, and a feeling of regret surged in his heart.

He was just reminding Hao Ren to speak concisely, how come he forgot this!
Without waiting for Director Li to think about it, Deputy Director Wang said to Hao Ren in a friendly manner:

"You must be Comrade Hao Ren, you did a great job!" (End of this chapter)
