Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 178 Who is the good person who uses real-name registration to access the Internet?
Tuesday noon.

Tan Zongming walked to Andy's office.

"Andy, I know their abilities. It's not easy to achieve this. This deal is very complicated. It's normal to win it or not. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

He came to intercede on behalf of Andy's subordinates.

Andy's style of doing things has always been vigorous and resolute, and her abilities are obvious to all, but it has made life difficult for the employees who work under her, and they have complained a lot in private.

Having a boss with an extremely high IQ is a very painful thing.

I can neither keep up with the pace of her work nor do things half-heartedly. Being under this high-pressure state for a long time, I feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Andy didn't even raise his head, continued to look through the report in his hand, and asked back: "You have known me for so long, when have you ever seen me feel stressed?"

"That's right. You've seen all kinds of scenes. This is nothing." Tan Zongming looked at his watch. "Okay, it's almost noon. Stop busying yourself and go have a meal together."

"Oh, no! I have a date with a friend at noon today."

"Friends?" Tan Zongming was a little surprised. "Why haven't I heard that you have friends in the country?"

Andy explained: "To be precise, it should be an online friend. I was afraid that my Chinese would deteriorate, so I met him on the forum while practicing my writing."

"Netizens? Andy, for someone as serious as you to meet netizens, I don't think it's right. I tell you these people are dangerous, do you want me to be your bodyguard?"

Andy put down the documents and gathered her hair elegantly. "It shouldn't be a problem for us to meet in public. Besides, I already have someone to help me."

Tan Zongming asked curiously, "Oh? Are they those noisy little girls?"

Andy shook his head. "No, it's a neighbor who lives upstairs from me. He's a very nice person."

Seeing the smile in Andy's eyes, Tan Zongming raised his eyebrows and asked, "Isn't it a male neighbor?"

Andy nodded generously: "Yes."

This surprised Tan Zongming even more. Andy's social circle was so small that it was almost non-existent. He didn't expect that she would make such a friend not long after returning to China.

Compared to the netizen Andy mentioned, Tan Zongming was even more curious about this neighbor.

After all, Andy is relatively simple when it comes to interpersonal relationships, especially relationships between men and women.

It was normal for him to interact with a few girls, but the sudden appearance of a male friend really made him curious.

“What does your neighbor do?”

"He... um..." Andy tilted his head slightly, the corner of his mouth rising unconsciously, "He doesn't have a job now, but he's very good at computers. Not long ago, he discovered a major vulnerability in Microsoft."

Yesterday, she met Guan Juer while waiting for the elevator to go downstairs. Knowing that Guan Juer also worked in the Financial Street, she drove her there.

On the way, Andy asked her about how she and Lin Yuan met. Guan Juer naturally answered without reservation and also told him about Lin Yuan's discovery of a major vulnerability in Microsoft.

After all, this is a way to show the excellence of your lover.

Tan Zongming had the idea of ​​recruiting him: "So he is very good. How about you come forward and invite him to our company?"

Andy shook his head. "I told him about this, but he just refused. He said he didn't want to work for others."

"Don't want to work for others? Does that mean he wants to be the boss?"

Geniuses are usually a bit arrogant, and Tan Zongming is not surprised by this.

Andy nodded slightly and replied, "Maybe."

"Okay, I won't bother you to go to your appointment. Just remember to call me if you need anything."

After saying that, Tan Zongming left Andy's office.

Andy called Lin Yuan and asked, "Lin Yuan, have you arrived?"

"I have arrived."

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm going downstairs now."

"It's too polite to say this between us. Just don't keep your netizens waiting for too long."

There was a hint of intimacy in Lin Yuan's words, but at the same time he was inadvertently distancing Andy and Singularity.

Andy chuckled and said, "No, there are still ten minutes until the time we agreed to meet. There is plenty of time."

"That's right. You are too sensitive about numbers and time. You won't break your promise." Lin Yuan continued, "By the way, Guan Guan also works here. I asked her to have dinner with me later. Let her come to the coffee shop first. Do you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind." Andy replied.

"Okay, see you later."

Five minutes later, Andy walked into the coffee shop gracefully in high heels, glanced around, and walked towards the table where Singularity was.

Andy's eyes were focused on Singularity, and Singularity was also looking at Andy carefully.

The moment their eyes met, a glimmer of surprise flashed in Singularity's eyes.

Andy is dressed in a simple yet elegant outfit, exuding a cool and capable temperament.

Singularity guessed that Andy was most likely a female, but Andy's outstanding beauty still exceeded her expectations.

"Singularity?" Andy spoke first.

"Andy?" Singularity responded.

The singularity in front of her was a middle-aged man with ordinary looks and short stature, which was very different from the image Andy had imagined, and she was quite surprised.

If Lin Yuan hadn't repeatedly hinted to her with his eyes that this person was the online friend she was going to meet, she would have found it difficult to connect the person in front of her with the smart and humorous image on the Internet.

But how did Lin Yuan recognize him at first sight?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile again, and was ready to ask clearly after finishing her chat with Singularity.

Singularity extended his right hand enthusiastically and said, "Finally I meet you."

Andy just smiled politely, his eyes fell on the seat opposite, and he said softly: "Do I sit here?"

Qidian did not feel embarrassed. He pointed to the opposite side and said gently, "Please sit down."

"I'm sorry, I've been busy with work lately, so I don't have much time at noon. I can only meet you here."

"Understandable."

……

Guan Juer finally hurried to the coffee shop.

These two mornings, she came to the company in Andy's sports car. For a while, rumors spread in the company that she had a rich boyfriend.

Guan Juer was very helpless. Why didn't anyone spread rumors when she worked overtime at night and then took Lin Yuan's Mercedes-Benz home?

She managed to avoid two gossiping colleagues and came to the coffee shop alone.

She sat down opposite Lin Yuan and called softly, "Brother Lin."

Seeing Lin Yuan, Guan Juer couldn't help feeling a little shy. Thinking of the night when her fair little hand approached Lin Yuan and the hot touch from his soft palm, that scene was too much of a shock to her as she had been a "little white rabbit" for twenty-two years.

But thinking of Lin Yuan's secretly happy expression later, Guan Juer inexplicably arose a different emotion in her heart, and she became reluctant to let go. Thinking of this, a blush appeared on her pretty face.

Lin Yuan said in a gentle voice: "Order a cup of coffee first. I'm afraid lunch will have to wait a while."

"Yeah." Guan Juer responded obediently, suppressing her inner thoughts. After ordering coffee, she complained quietly, "Coffee is so expensive nowadays. But if I don't drink it, I'll feel tired in the afternoon. If I drink it, it's like I'm spending my own money to help my boss improve efficiency."

Guan Juer's words inspired Lin Yuan. It was still 2016 and Luckin Coffee had not yet been established. He could completely intercept Luckin's business model.

Of course, his purpose of starting a company was not purely to make money. He just thought that when a woman came to him but he was entangled with other women, he could use the company's affairs as a shield.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about drinking coffee in the future."

Guan Juer was puzzled: "Why?"

Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously: "I'll keep it a secret for now."

Seeing this, Guan Juer stopped asking questions and followed Lin Yuan's gaze to Andy and the man sitting opposite Andy. She gently pushed her glasses and whispered, "That man is Andy's online friend. He looks a bit old."

"I guess Andy thinks so too." Lin Yuan smiled and changed the subject: "Has Qiu Yingying been ill these past two days?"

Guan Juer pouted and shook her head helplessly: "She has completely ignored all of us now."

"He forgets his friends when he sees a beautiful woman." "Brother Lin, how have you been collecting information about Manager Bai?"

"It will be soon. I have already found out that Director Bai has urethritis and cannot do that kind of thing for the time being, so you don't have to worry about Qiu Yingying's safety."

"That's great!" Upon hearing this, Guan Juer patted her chest as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

"Guan Guan, come to my house after get off work in the evening." Lin Yuan said suddenly.

"Oh." Guan Juer immediately became shy and responded bashfully.

When Lin Yuan saw Guan Juer's reaction, he knew that she was thinking something else. He smiled and said, "I got some photos of Manager Bai and wanted you to help me sort them out. What are you thinking about?"

"Ah? Oh..." Guan Juer's face turned red instantly, like a ripe tomato, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

……

Andy and Qidian finished their conversation. Andy sent Qidian to the subway station and returned to the cafe. At this time, Lin Yuan and Guan Juer were outside the cafe. They said, "Let's go, let's go eat first."

The three of them didn't walk far before they chose a nearby restaurant and ordered some meat dishes together.

Lin Yuan asked, "How was your chat with the netizens just now?"

Andy frowned slightly, showing a hint of displeasure: "He has been observing and judging me, making me feel uncomfortable."

"Did he drive here?"

"No, he said he came by subway."

"The shirt is Prada, the jacket is Gucci, all designer clothes, but he doesn't dare to drive and instead takes the subway. It's quite interesting." Lin Yuan was slightly amazed.

Andy was deep in thought, still thinking about Lin Yuan's words. Guan Juer couldn't help but admire him: "Brother Lin, you are so amazing. Why can't I see it?"

Lin Yuan smiled and responded: "When you have more contact with these brands in the future, you will become familiar with them."

Andy looked at Lin Yuan with doubt in his eyes: "You mean, he deliberately didn't drive here?"

"He knows that he has an ordinary appearance, so he can only use small tricks like this to maintain his mystery while also being able to test your attitude towards material things. For him, this is a win-win situation."

Guan Juer spoke up for Andy: "This guy is not even as tall as Andy, but he is so scheming."

Andy thought carefully about his time with Qidian and realized that what Lin Yuan said was very true. He nodded in agreement and asked, "Go on, what else?"

"You didn't eat lunch today. If what I expected is true, he should suggest that next time we meet, he plans to take you to a special restaurant to show off his knowledge and taste."

"You can guess this?" Andy was so surprised that she couldn't help but cover her lips with her hands, her beautiful eyes wide open, full of disbelief.

Lin Yuan looked calm as he spoke: "For a smart man, the invitation for the next meeting will be sent out before the end of this date. This will allow the relationship between the two to continue to heat up and keep in touch."

Andy raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled, and asked curiously: "Then how do you know so much?"

Lin Yuan smiled slightly: "Knowledge of the world is knowledge, and understanding of human nature is writing."

Andy continued to ask: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how do you know that person is Singularity?"

"He's so eager to ask you out, I guess he considers you as a candidate for marriage. Anyone who has such an idea is certainly not a young person. And think about it, he often hangs out in science fiction forums, and often stays up late to chat with you across the time difference. Even if he's not the boss of the company, he's at least a partner. It's normal for such a person to wear a brand-name suit."

In fact, Lin Yuan only relied on the known plot to reverse the process from the result, which was not a difficult task.

Andy couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "We are just netizens, how could he consider me as a candidate for marriage?"

Her tone showed both surprise at Lin Yuan's inference and disbelief at Singularity's idea.

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered between Andy and Guan Juer, and he suggested, "Andy, Guan Guan, how about we make a bet? What will happen the next time he asks you out?"

Guan Juer's cheeks flushed with shyness instantly, and she said softly: "I don't gamble."

She remembered the punishment she received after losing the last bet.

Andy couldn't help but be curious about Guan Juer's reaction.

"Why, Xiaoguan?"

Lin Yuan smiled and explained, "Last time she gambled and lost a bottle of mineral water. Andy, do you want to gamble?"

When Guan Juer heard this, her pretty face became even hotter. That was not mineral water, it was clearly...

A hint of curiosity flashed in Andy's eyes. She naturally didn't believe that Guan Juer simply lost a bottle of mineral water, but she was indeed intrigued by Lin Yuan's proposal.

"Okay, I'll bet with you."

Seeing Andy taking the bait, Lin Yuan further explained the rules: "If I guess right, you have to agree to one of my requests; if I guess wrong, I will agree to one of your requests. Of course, the premise is that the request cannot be illegal. How do you think?"

"Yeah, that's fair." Andy said with some anticipation, "Then tell me, what will it be like next time Singularity asks me out?"

Lin Yuan paused for a moment and gave his guess: "I guess the next time you meet, he will drive his best car and ask you to go to a restaurant owned by his friend to show off his wealth. At the same time, he will apologize to you for being on guard during this meeting. Of course, the focus will still be on continuing to observe you, test you, and verify you."

Lin Yuan only spoke in general terms. Firstly, if he spoke in too much detail, it would make Andy and Guan Juer feel in awe and create a sense of distance. Secondly, it was the butterfly effect. No one could guarantee that the plot would develop along the original trajectory.

Andy raised his eyebrows, his tone was carefree: "I'll wait and see. As long as it's 70% to 80% close to what you said, I lose."

Then the three of them talked about some other girls on the 22nd floor, such as the grudge between Qiu Yingying and Qu Xiaoxiao, and the classmate that Fan Shengmei dated...

"Brother Lin, Sister Andy, I'm going to go back first. Let's split the bill for this meal later."

Guan Juer's lunch break was not long to begin with. Andy and Singularity spent quite a bit of time drinking coffee, and the restaurant took some time to serve the food. Seeing that the lunch break was about to end, she had to rush back to the company to continue working.

As the chief financial officer, Andy naturally doesn't need to be so rushed, and Lin Yuan has plenty of time.

"Take care, Xiaoguan." Andy nodded gently.

Lin Yuan stood up, picked up the shoulder bag that Guan Juer had placed beside him, handed it to her, raised his hand and gently patted her head, and said with a smile: "You can go back first, don't worry about the meal money."

Guan Juer nodded shyly, then left the restaurant briskly.

Andy looked at Guan Juer's departing back, then his gaze fell back on Lin Yuan, and he asked with a smile: "You and Xiao Guan seem to have a good relationship?"

As he spoke, Andy couldn't help but think of the scene just now, and wondered what this kind of close interaction would feel like.

Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes, don't you think such a well-behaved girl is very lovable? If I had a daughter like Qiu Yingying, I would probably be so angry that I would die."

"Xiao Qiu she..." Andy paused, trying to search his mind for words to praise Qiu Yingying, but after thinking about it, he couldn't say it out loud.

It would be really hard for her to bear if she had a sister like this.

The two of them sat at the table for a while, eating and chatting. When they finished their meal, they prepared to pay the bill and leave.

Andy said, "I'll treat you to this meal. After all, you came all the way here to help me."

"Let me do it. A 'fool' gave me 10,000 yuan yesterday, and I'm worried about where to spend the money."

Andy was slightly startled, her beautiful eyes blinked slightly, and after a long while she spoke: "You knew it was me?"

She has also read some of "Lord of Mysteries" written by Lin Yuan. Although she has not read the latest chapter yet, the ups and downs and exciting plot of the book have immersed her in it. It is normal for her to reward such a wonderful work.

Ten thousand yuan was just a drop in the bucket for her, and she felt it was worthwhile to use it to express her support for her friend. She just didn't know how Lin Yuan came up with such a wonderful plot.

"Who would use their real name when surfing the Internet? If you change your username, I might be happier. I might actually think you are some book-loving reader."

Andy smiled brightly: "I am your reader."

"Alas~" Lin Yuan pretended to sigh: "You have discovered my identity again."

After hearing this, Andy covered his mouth and chuckled: "So, you are also trying to maintain your mystery?"

Lin Yuan spread his hands and said sincerely: "I hope that one day you can see through me completely."

Andy asked with concern: "Do you want me to take you back?"

"No need, I drove here." Lin Yuan responded.

"Do you have a car?"

Lin Yuan shrugged and said half-jokingly: "Well, I don't use it often, so it's almost covered in dust."

"Well, it seems I understand you a little better."
