I am weak and friendly

Chapter 232 You're a big shot who contributed code to OIFU!

Liu Jiadong slept so soundly that he almost forgot the time.

When I got up again, I felt dizzy and lightheaded, and my stomach was growling with hunger.

I first tore open a packet of expired instant noodles and soaked it, then opened my laptop and saw a lot of message and email notifications.

Liu Jiadong randomly clicked on one and was so startled he almost spilled half a bowl of instant noodles on his crotch.

"Hi boss, we've received your resume. Shall we have a trial?"

Uh……

Liu Jiadong's first thought was...

You sent it to the wrong person.

Why was the HR person so polite this time?

He was just about to reply to that message when he saw another one below:
"Hello, sir. The position you applied for has a relatively low salary. I'm wondering if you have a particular preference for this job, or if there are other reasons? Would you be willing to accept other positions with higher pay? We can discuss the details in person."

Liu Jiadong: "???"

He wondered if he got up at the wrong time today, or if his posture when turning on the computer was wrong.

Or perhaps it's too hot, and you've already suffered heatstroke?

He closed his laptop, got up and wandered around for a bit, took a few deep breaths of the hot but still relatively fresh air by the window, then returned to the table and opened his laptop again.

Not an illusion!

Not an illusion!

It's really not a hallucination!

Looking further down, he saw that almost every company he had applied to yesterday had replied to him.

He scrolled down until he reached this line, and then he suddenly realized the reason:

"Hello, sir. Thank you so much for submitting your resume. We're just a small company, and you've contributed code to OIFU. What do you see in us? I'm afraid we can't offer the compensation you're looking for..."

They never suspected he was actually applying for that position; they thought he was just applying randomly and contacted the HR department.

Wait... what's going on here?
The reason I was able to submit the code is because I had actually written code for Touchpoint Connect before and had my own resources.

After I submitted it, the code was rejected 7 times!
That little bit of code, it got rejected 7 times!
This code is killing me!

The reason I didn't die is because I couldn't afford to die!

I almost gave up on voting!

Liu Jiadong was completely dumbfounded.

He opened the forum again and saw that, in addition to the previous hot posts, there was one more:
A Roundup of the Amazing People Who Submitted Code to OIFU!

Liu Jiadong glanced at it and was immediately dazzled by the impressive resume.

……

PR #32 contributor Liu-Is-Back, forum ID: laoli laoli xiayubuchou, is suspected to be a big shot in hardware and underlying protocols. This is his first time participating in open source, and he is like an extraterrestrial demon who fell from the sky, with a mysterious origin.

As Liu Jiadong looked around in amazement from top to bottom, he suddenly realized something when he saw his own row of rows…

Emmmm…

It's hard to say.

How did I get into this group?

This isn't right.

Why does it feel like the moment I saw myself, the value of this review suddenly decreased, and everyone else seemed just as mediocre?

It used to be so dazzling, but now it's suddenly become a place where the genuine is mixed with the fake.

It's like you post a photo on your WeChat Moments of yourself having dinner with people. To your left are Qiangzi and Junzi, to your right are Tengzi and Yunzi, and behind you is Congzi pouring your drinks. Even though you're just sitting in the seat of a random passerby, who would believe you're not a billionaire?

The problem is, you're not a billionaire yourself! What can you do?

I can only feel that the level of others is not up to par either.

Are they all knock-offs? Or just look alike?
After all, I'm a fraud myself.

Liu Jiadong is currently filled with fear and anxiety.

I'm just a chicken that's infiltrated a flock of cranes. What have I done to deserve this? What should I do now? Should I tell everyone that I'm just a fraud?
but……

This may be the first time in all these years that he has encountered such a good opportunity, to get such a good position and such high salary.

So many interview opportunities.

"Forgive me, someone with elderly parents and young children to support, someone who can't even afford to eat," he thought.

then……

I selected one and replied to their message, asking when the interview would be available.

Within minutes, the other party replied: "Anytime is fine, depending on your schedule!"

No, it can be like this?
If I could decide the time myself...

I wish it were now!

He didn't know what he needed to prepare, and he didn't want to continue suffering.

The other party said, "Okay!"

Then, Liu Jiadong immediately went out the door.

Actually, the reason I chose this place wasn't because of its good benefits or the good job, but mainly because... it's just a bus ride away, and I don't need to transfer.

That way, if you go for an interview and the interviewer discovers you're just a slacker and kicks you out, you'll only lose the cost of the bus fare to and from the interview, not much.

The journey was uneventful, without any major incidents or setbacks.

He didn't have a stomachache, his clothes weren't soiled, and he wasn't harassed by the security guard.

I arrived at the company smoothly, told the receptionist what I was there for, and she turned around and exclaimed, "The big shot who provided code for OIFU is here!"

With a whoosh, a group of people emerged from inside, staring at him with wide eyes.

Liu Jiadong hadn't felt this way of being "watched" in a long time; the last time was...

He couldn't remember if there had been a previous time.

He didn't even know where to put his hands.

"Let me see... This is the person who can provide code to OIFU. There's not much difference, just two noses and one eye."

"You don't care if someone has one or two noses. Anyway, the fact that they can provide code to OIFU is impressive. If you're so capable, why don't you go and provide some code to OIFU and submit it?"

"Pfft, are you talking about someone?"

"Although I don't have that ability either, I feel like you're subtly criticizing Brother Wang."

"Brother Wang hasn't spoken for almost three hours. I need to go check if he's still alive."

"Hahahahahaha."

A group of young people were laughing and joking when someone turned around and shouted, "Brother Wang! Come for the interview!"

"Interview? What interview! I don't have time!" someone said impatiently from inside.

"It's the big shot who provided the code to OIFU!"

"What? They're here already? The big boss is here!"

Amidst the clattering footsteps inside, a person rushed out. He was slightly overweight, around thirty years old, with thick glasses, sparse hair, and prematurely aged.

"Hey bro, come help me out! I've changed it a dozen or twenty times, and it just won't pass! The more I change it, the more bugs there are! I'm about to lose it!"

Uh, that's you, #15, who got rejected almost 20 times but was still brainstorming on the forum!

"Uh... I'm here for an interview." Liu Jiadong said somewhat helplessly.

"An interview?" Brother Wang said, "This is an interview."

Well, the boss has spoken, what else can we say?
Liu Jiadong loosened his tie: "Let me see!"

I've submitted successfully before, so I have some experience!
……

On the 42nd floor of Qihang Building, Tang Yiping was reviewing code when he suddenly sniffed.

A familiar smell suddenly became stronger.

"Awoo?" Stoka, who was lying next to him, suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?" Shen Hong asked quickly.

Some things... have been opened.
