those years

Lying in bed at night, he didn't toss and turn like he imagined. The exhaustion from working for many days and his chaotic mind made Lin Fan fall asleep in a short while.But at night, in a dream, he always heard someone calling his name in a vague place. He waved his hand and tried to peel off the fog to see who called him, but he couldn't find the source of the sound, and suddenly the sound stopped abruptly. Then someone came up from behind him, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Three years, can you wait for me?" Lin Fan turned his head and tried to catch this person, but every time he caught a ball of air, he wanted to scream , but the sound is stuck in the throat and can't come out no matter what...

Slowly opened his eyes, put his arms on his forehead to block the light coming in from the curtains, Lin Fan turned his head and looked at the watch on the bedside table, "12:03", unexpectedly sleeping until this time, maybe he has really been overdrawn recently .

It's been a long time since I had this dream. For a while, this dream always reappeared, and it didn't disappear until these two years. If it wasn't for today, he thought he had forgotten it.After sitting up and staring blankly for a while, he shook his head, got up and went to the bathroom.

He didn't intend to change the established plan because of any unexpected news, so he got up, changed his clothes, ate something, and drove to the gym with his sports bag.After sweating profusely on the treadmill for 10 kilometers and swimming in the swimming pool for an hour, Lin Fan felt physically and mentally comfortable.

On Sunday, he first called his father to inquire about the situation at home. His father said that everything was fine and reassured him, and also asked Lin Fan to pay more attention to his diet and rest outside.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan nestled on the sofa and watched a movie comfortably, and then opened the book to start his weekly regular study.

The work of data mining often needs to deal with various computer languages. Although it has been separated from the basic programming work, the computer language itself is updated and replaced quickly. It must be used as it is learned so that it will not be eliminated at the front end of technology.

Fortunately, learning is not difficult for Lin Fan. It can be said that learning this matter itself makes him feel fulfilled and safe, so this fixed habit has been persisted for many years just like exercising.

But this afternoon, the various languages ​​and programs in the book just couldn't catch his eyes. Lin Fan felt as if his eyes were scanning down line by line, but in fact he didn't see a single code.He simply put the book aside and stretched, then went to the window to look at the community downstairs.

This is a residential area on the edge of the East Fourth Ring Road. It was bought by his parents in the early years. When he was still in high school, a cousin of Lin Fan's mother began to sell houses in Beijing. At that time, the housing prices in Beijing were not as low as today It is so daunting that this cousin has been persuading her to invest together.

At first, the parents were still cautious. After all, they had to spend most of their savings, which was not a small matter for a family living on a basic salary. Fan’s long-term expectation is that he can study and live in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai in the future, and even start a family and take root.

After the down payment, the house was rented by the intermediary all the time, and the rest of the loan was paid off with the rent. Lin Fan didn't move in until he got a job, and he paid off the remaining loan within two years.

Lin Fan looked out the window and saw that there was a traffic jam at the entrance of the community downstairs. Everyone seemed to rush out on Saturdays, and they came back one after another on Sundays. Those who came back from family visits, outings, and appointments ...

Thinking of today's alumni association, he suddenly wondered if that person would go today?In the past, he really didn't like this kind of interpersonal communication, but since the business has been able to do so much these years, his temperament must have changed... Lin Fan turned back to the room, rubbed his face with his hands, and told himself not to think about it anymore. , has nothing to do with him.

……

In the morning, Lin Fan was driving on the way to the company. Afraid of traffic jams, he would usually leave early. On Mondays, he would go out 10 minutes earlier than usual. But today the road conditions are really bad, and he has already been stuck at the intersection of the third ring road and waited for three The red light has not moved, isn't it another traffic control?This time, Lin Fan looked at his watch, and estimated that it would be good if it would be around nine o'clock, so he had no choice but to open the car window and stick out his arms to get some air.

Then, he saw the black Land Rover obliquely behind him from the rearview mirror. Lin Fan turned his head to see the face of the driver, but from his angle, unless his eyes turned around, he couldn't see it anyway.

coincidence?I’ve seen it for several days, and it’s nothing special to drive this car on the streets of Beijing, but it has three 8’s in its tail number, so I remember it.Twice I drove to his side while waiting for a red light, but because the car film was completely black, no one could be seen, and every time the accelerator buzzed and jumped out when the amber light turned green.

In a city like Beijing, it may take a long time to find where to go, so it is a bit curious to encounter the same car several times in a row.But at this moment, the car in front finally showed signs of moving, Lin Fan also quickly straightened his body, loosened the clutch and moved forward.

He still arrived at the company before he officially went to work. As soon as he entered the door, a little girl from their department ran up to him and said in a panic, "Boss, something serious happened!"

This little girl is Xue Jing, who was recruited just after graduating this year. Generally, programming and technology development are looking for boys because the work is too intense.But when their department was recruiting two years ago, I felt that this little girl was born to write programs, and she knew all kinds of codes just after graduation. In her own words, she felt that she could reach resonance with the computer when communicating with the computer.

Xue Jing has a characteristic of being active. When her parents named her, they probably hoped that she would be as quiet as a virgin, but they only realized the second half of this sentence from her. Whenever they have free time in the company, they would visit various departments, and then put All kinds of gossip about the company were shared with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was already used to her bluffing like this, so he walked to his station and put down the key before asking, "What's the matter?"

Xue Jing followed Lin Fan all the way from the moment he entered the door, as if finally waiting for him to ask this question, and quickly announced the correct answer: "Our company is going to change hands!"

"Why did it change hands?" Lin Fan asked strangely.

"The company announcement will be sent to the employees' mailboxes at 9:[-] in the morning. Our company has been bought by the Qi family!"

Lin Fan didn't know which news surprised him, change of owner?At the annual meeting a few months ago, the boss still vowed that we are constantly creating miracles and we will become the brightest star. Why did we change hands after only a few months?Qi?

"Which Qi family?"

"Who else can you do, boss? Of course, it was the Qi Group, which was engaged in real estate in the early years. In the past few years, various industries have flourished everywhere! It is said that it has been planned for a long time, but the high-level executives of both parties have been contacting in private. In fact, it was a year ago. It's working."

Still a little unresponsive, Lin Fan rubbed his eyebrows with his index and middle fingers and asked, "Is the news accurate?"

Xue Jing has confidence in information that cannot be questioned by others: "Why don't you say it? Xiao Chu from the Strategic Planning Department told me this morning. Take a look. It's 8:55, and it will definitely be ready in 5 minutes." Received the mail."

Seeing that Lin Fan didn't respond after speaking, he turned around and returned to his work station, and began to swipe the screen to wait for the mail.

Lin Fan slowly sat down and digested the information in his head, why the successive news in the past two days were all related to one person, as if as long as he appeared, he would cause a disturbance around him, which made Lin Fan recall that Qi Tian was everywhere. The college days of various rumors.

Turning on the computer, Lin Fan first browsed the unread emails. When it was exactly 9 o'clock, there were 2 new email reminders in his inbox. The first one was an open letter from the former president to all employees. The letter roughly said, thank you All employees have contributed to the company over the years. The company's achievements today are inseparable from the hard work of all employees... For the better development of the company, the Qishi Tiancheng Group, which is controlled by the Qishi Group, will take over in the future... …

After quickly browsing the first email, Lin Fan opened the second designated recipient email: "All department managers and supervisors are requested to come to the company's large conference room on time at 9:15 for a meeting—the new president's speech."

……

Lin Fan was staring at the email on the screen in a daze, when Manager Liu hurriedly poked his head in from the door and said, "You never need me to worry about it, there are still a few who haven't arrived, don't be dazed, hurry up and go up early."

Turning around, I went to the door of other groups and yelled: "Call your boss quickly and ask where you are. Don't go to our floor when you come, go directly to the big meeting room on the 21st floor." After two seconds, he seemed to remember something Yes, explain, "If you are late, don't let them in, just wait for my message."

Glancing at the turbulent office area, Lin Fan hurriedly got up and walked to the elevator with Manager Liu, only to see two other group supervisors from the Operational Analysis Department were already standing there, and they all nodded and greeted Manager Liu.

The manager of the Operation Analysis Department is surnamed Liu, 38 years old. Although he looks older than his actual age, he is really a big guy in technology. After working in a world-renowned German company for several years, he was hired here with a high salary. Manager Liu is precise and demanding in his work. While admiring his professional ability, many colleagues also complain that he is too picky.Sometimes because the requirements are too high, the work has to be revised repeatedly. This principle of excellence usually leads to a lot of continuous and miserable overtime.

Lin Fan was recruited by Manager Liu. This is Lin Fan's first job after graduating from university. As a computer major, he has been doing massive data analysis work in the company for the first few years. Therefore, in those years, he has been rushing forward with Manager Liu, no matter how difficult the work assigned to him is, he has never been ambiguous.Afterwards, Manager Liu gradually let Lin Fan start from basic data research and development to the more complex business of data mining.

After several years of contact, Manager Liu recognized Lin Fan's work ability and personality, and he valued Lin Fan more and more. Last year, he promoted Lin Fan to the position of supervisor.Although he was obstructed by the HR department at the beginning due to his lack of qualifications, he was worried that being a supervisor at such a young age would cause other departments to have opinions, but Manager Liu argued hard in the HR department, listing Lin Fan's achievements since he joined the job, and said that Lin Fan At present, the salary in other companies will be doubled. If you don’t promote in the position, what will you use to attract others to continue to work hard.In the end, Manager Liu resisted all opinions and promoted Lin Fan to be the team leader, who was also the most core team in the department he managed.

Seeing that the elevator didn't come up for a long time, Manager Liu said: "It seems that everyone is in a hurry to catch up." After speaking, he shook his head, lowered his head and sighed with a smile: "It's just sold like this, it really changes quickly."

It turned out that there was no news at all.

Manager Liu looked back at a few of them, and probably felt that everyone was a little nervous now. After all, the old owner had changed hands of the company, and even their employees had become incidental asset transfers. No one knew what changes the company would have in the future. It's hard to tell, and it's still unknown whether one's job can be kept.

So I changed the subject and wanted everyone to refresh themselves and said: "This new president is not easy. I will make a surprise attack on the first day, and see if you dare to be late for work in the future."

The other two supervisors quickly smiled and promised that they would go to work on time from now on, while Lin Fan looked at the elevator light and said nothing.

After waiting for another minute, Manager Liu said, "Yes, we are also close to the 1st floor. Let's take the stairs. Don't be late for the first meeting."

A few people turned to the stairwell, and when they arrived, they found that many people were already climbing. It seemed that the elevator in this building was really tense after 9 o'clock. After meeting, everyone smiled tacitly at each other.

Lin Fan followed behind mechanically lifting his legs, his mind was still a little numb and unable to react, is the new CEO Qi Tian?Did he think too much? The two sons of the Qi family might be Qi Sheng.

Thinking of the easy-going young man, Lin Fan thought that would be the best. He and Brother Qi Tian hadn't met a few times, and he should have forgotten about it in the past few years. As long as he didn't take the initiative to recognize people, he wouldn't be found.Moreover, the Qi family has a big business, and it is impossible to handle everything by one hand, maybe it is an external manager.

After following the big team to the 21st floor and entering the conference room, everyone automatically found their seats according to their ranks. Lin Fan found a place behind Manager Liu and sat down. This seat can just use Manager Liu to block the line of sight with the main seat of the conference table. .

Let's see what happens, Lin Fan said to himself, maybe because he heard the sudden news last week, he thought too much.

Until everyone was seated, at a quarter past nine, the door of the meeting room opened on time, and then he watched the man walk in in a well-tailored silver-gray suit, sat down on the main seat, He calmly greeted everyone and said, "Hello everyone, I am Qi Tian."
