The programmer and his woman

We followed General Lin to the Taibao Building. This building is soaring into the sky, towering majestically, like a huge monument standing in the city.

From a distance, the appearance of Taibao Building is magnificent and gives people a shocking feeling. The whole building adopts a modern design style, with simple and smooth lines and glass curtain walls reflecting dazzling light. The main structure of the building is tall and straight, and each floor looks particularly solemn and dignified.

As we approached, we could feel its majesty and grandeur. The entrance was spacious and bright, and the door was open to welcome everyone who came. Entering the lobby, the interior decoration was luxurious and elegant, the floor was paved with mirror-like marble, the ceiling was hung with gorgeous crystal chandeliers, and the walls displayed the history and achievements of Taibao Company.

Standing in the center of the hall and looking up at the height above your head, you can't help but sigh at the greatness of human wisdom and creativity. Countless elites gather here, they sweat and pursue their dreams. And this Taibao Building witnesses their efforts and struggles.

Mr. Lin took us into the spacious and bright office area with a smile on his face, and then enthusiastically introduced us to the main person in charge of the information department. The first person who caught our eyes was a tall lady wearing a delicate and appropriate professional women's suit, exuding a professional and elegant temperament.

The lady had long black hair that gently brushed over her shoulders. Her face was clear-cut and beautiful, revealing determination and confidence. Her eyes were bright and sharp, as if she could see through all the problems. When she looked at us, her warm smile made us feel comfortable and relaxed like a spring breeze.

Through Lin's introduction, we learned that she not only has profound attainments in information technology, but is also good at team management and project coordination. Looking at her calm and relaxed appearance, it is not difficult to imagine her outstanding performance at work and the remarkable achievements she has made.

However, she seemed very busy at this moment, as if she was entangled in countless trivial matters and could hardly spare any free time to communicate with us. Seeing this, General Manager Lin made a prompt decision and decided to introduce another person in charge of the information department, Manager Yao, to us.

Although Manager Yao is still young, he gives people a sense of calmness, restraint, and gentleness. His already delicate face is covered with a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses, which makes him exude a unique cultural charm and intellectual charm.

After an in-depth conversation, I gradually understood his expectations for our visit. He was not only interested in our company's products and services, but also had great enthusiasm for our upcoming new applications. I deeply admired his acumen for technology and his pursuit of user experience.

So when he offered to try installing the upcoming app on his phone, I agreed without hesitation. This was not only a great opportunity to showcase our product, but also a valuable opportunity to get direct user feedback.

I nodded, indicating that I fully understood his idea. In insurance companies, the information department, as a pioneer and practitioner of technology, is the first to use new systems and technologies. So I quickly installed the app on his phone and patiently waited for him to try it out.

After opening the app, he carefully browsed through the various functions and interfaces. After a while, he looked up and said, "From a functional point of view, this app is indeed very comprehensive and basically meets our needs. However, I don't like the design of these pictures. They look a bit rough and not refined enough."

I listened carefully to his feedback and was deeply touched. Indeed, there are some problems with the design of these pictures. Since the company's previous art team did not have members who were good at pixel art, and the artists recruited later also lacked experience in this area, these icons did not appear to be detailed enough in terms of detail processing. On such a small mobile phone screen, these indetailed pictures do give people a rough feeling.

I thanked him and promised to pass on his feedback to the design team. I believe that through continuous improvement and optimization, we will be able to create better products and bring better experience to users.

However, when I happily put the modified picture into the program again, I was surprised to find that the previous problems were not improved at all! Obviously, they did not really understand how to draw such delicate pixel paintings. This really gave me a headache when I was away from home and busy with work.

I had no choice but to give this revised version to Director Yao of the Information Department for review. As expected, after reading it, the experienced Director Yao shook his head and expressed dissatisfaction.

At the critical juncture of the project, all eyes were on the information department. As a key link in the entire project process, the progress of the information department was directly related to the success of subsequent work. Hearing the revision suggestions put forward by Director Yao, especially those pixel painting problems, the monk seemed extremely anxious.

"Xiao Wang, the information department is the vanguard of our project." The monk's tone was full of worry. "If we can't get through this level, the subsequent work will be like water without a source and it will be difficult to continue."

I nodded deeply, indicating that I completely understood the monk's concerns. However, I knew in my heart that this problem was not difficult to solve, but the company did not have an artist who was good at drawing pixel art. Just as I was thinking about the countermeasures, I suddenly remembered Dahai, the artist in my previous studio, who was an expert in this area.

So I turned to the monk and said, "Monk, I have a solution to this problem. However, the company needs to pay some money to buy these pictures."

"Buy?" A puzzled expression appeared on the monk's face.

I explained: "Yes, that is to buy. The artist in my previous studio can draw this kind of picture. I can try to contact him to see if he has time to help us. However, we can't let him help for free, we have to pay him accordingly."

After listening to my explanation, the monk suddenly understood. He immediately picked up the phone and reported the situation to his boss. After a while, he hung up the phone and said to me, "The boss agreed. You can contact the person."

I immediately picked up the phone and dialed Dahai's number. Dahai's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. After we exchanged a few pleasantries, I got straight to the point, explained the project situation and where I needed his help, and gave a reasonable quotation.

After hearing this, Dahai said a little embarrassedly: "Teacher Wang, this little job doesn't cost so much money."

I smiled and said, "Okay, don't be polite with me. I know you may not have much work recently, and I'm not paying for this money, so just take it. This task is urgent, so don't be lazy and finish it quickly."

Dahai agreed and said he would finish it as soon as possible. Not long after, he sent me the finished pixel art. I repackaged the pictures into the program and showed them to Manager Yao again. Manager Yao nodded repeatedly and praised, "This time the changes are really beautiful!" I also secretly admired Manager Yao's professional vision.

After successfully passing the review of Manager Yao, I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief. However, unexpectedly, the beautiful manager with outstanding temperament came to me again. She led me to the leisure area on the side, where the environment was quiet and elegant. After we sat down, she started a new round of questions.

She asked in a professional and meticulous tone: "I would like to know about the mobile network issue. Currently, there are two main mobile networks: cmwap and cmnet. Because our users may use any network, we cannot force them to choose. So, I want to know whether your technical team has considered the compatibility of these two networks?"

I smiled slightly, secretly admiring her insight. Indeed, this problem is a big challenge in the development process, but I have been prepared. So, I answered: "The question you raised is very professional. Indeed, when the system is running, we cannot predict which network environment the user is currently using. The two networks, cmwap and cmnet, also have different access addresses. Cmwap is more of a transit link, which requires data to be sent to a mobile transit server first. But don't worry, our team has found a solution. Our program will first assume that the user is using one of the networks. If the connection fails three times in a row, it will automatically switch to another network. If multiple attempts to connect to the network fail, the system will prompt that the network is unavailable."

After listening to my explanation, the beautiful manager nodded with satisfaction, and a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes. However, she did not stop asking questions, but raised a more professional question: "I have another question about safety."

I smiled and nodded, motioning for her to continue. She continued, "Our system requires each agent to register and log in. Once the user logs in successfully, it means that their identity has been verified. But in subsequent operations, do we still need to continue to verify them to ensure the security of the system?"

This question made me sincerely admire her professionalism, and I answered seriously: "You asked a very good question. After the user successfully logs in, the system will generate a session, which is combined with the user's current device ID information. This means that other devices cannot directly access the server to read the user's data. In addition, we have taken additional security measures. If the user accidentally leaks the password and tries to log in on another device, our system will immediately detect this abnormal behavior and perform a second verification via SMS. This ensures that even if the password is leaked, the user's account and data are still safe."

After listening to my explanation, the beautiful manager smiled with satisfaction, stood up, shook hands with me and said goodbye, and expressed her high expectations for the successful launch of our system.

After a long and intense preparation phase, all the links have now been arranged, waiting for the key person from the insurance company to show his skills and promote the smooth implementation of their company's promotion and launch plan.

Heshang and I have been relatively free these days. Thinking that Xiaoxia is still looking forward to a gift, I decided to stroll around the bustling streets of S City and pick out some special gifts for her.

The street vendors were full of all kinds of goods. I strolled leisurely with the monk, stopping from time to time to choose, and bought some sunglasses, perfumes and exquisite bracelets. I also picked a silk scarf similar to the one worn by the stewardess on the plane, imagining that when Xiaoxia wore it, she would definitely show a different kind of elegance and charm.

However, the monk patted me on the shoulder gently and suggested: "Don't buy these small items anymore. Go to a large shopping mall and choose some more practical clothes for your girlfriend. She will definitely like them." I thought about it carefully and felt that the monk's suggestion made sense, so we walked into a nearby large shopping mall together.

After entering the mall, I went straight to the women's clothing area and was attracted by a shop selling a variety of sexy clothing. I walked in with great interest and began to carefully select. However, at the same time, the monk kept a certain distance from me, as if he was a little shy, which puzzled me. I asked with a little confusion: "Monk, why are you so far away from me?"

"Oh, brother, I did suggest that you go to the mall to pick out some suitable clothes for your girlfriend, but I didn't ask you to buy this kind of sexy clothing." The monk shook his head helplessly, with a bit of embarrassment and blame on his face.

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled a little embarrassedly. I really didn't think carefully, I just chose according to my own ideas.

"My girlfriend told me that women in S city dress very sexy and fashionable and asked me to buy her some sexy and fashionable clothes, but I don't understand. Then...what should I buy?" I scratched my head, feeling a little overwhelmed.

The monk sighed helplessly, patted my shoulder, and motioned me to follow him. As we walked, he said to me, "Brother, you may not understand what your girlfriend means." The monk whispered, with a bit of laughter and helplessness in his voice, "What she said about sexy fashion may refer to the kind of elegant and graceful dress, not this... um... how to put it, this kind of clothing may be more suitable for specific occasions."

The monk smiled and pointed ahead, "Look, the shop in front sells cheongsams. The cheongsams in S City are very famous. You can go and have a look."

I looked in the direction he pointed and indeed saw an antique cheongsam shop. I nodded and had some new ideas in my mind.

We walked into a cheongsam shop, which was filled with all kinds of cheongsams, including traditional long ones and modified short ones, each of which exuded a unique charm.

I carefully selected, trying to find a cheongsam that suited Xiaoxia's temperament and showed her sexy and fashionable side. The monk watched silently and gave some suggestions from time to time.

He picked up a dark green long cheongsam and asked me, "Xiao Wang, what do you think of this one? It has large peony flowers embroidered on it, and the colors are very harmonious."

I looked at the long cheongsam in the monk's hand with disdain. It felt like a piece of clothing for middle-aged or elderly people.

The shop owner also came up to him warmly and asked, "Little brother, which one do you like?"

I touched my head and answered hesitantly: "I'm buying a gift for my girlfriend. She wants fashionable and sexy clothes, but I'm really a little overwhelmed now."

The boss smiled and nodded, then asked, "What kind of style does she like? Does she have any specific requirements?"

"She usually wears sexy miniskirts," I replied.

After hearing this, the boss quickly took a cheongsam from the shelf and showed it to me: "This cheongsam is improved. The chest design is hollowed out, which can show some charming curves. The slit design is also very high. It is very charming when walking."

After hearing the boss's description, my eyes lit up, and I immediately asked, "Do you have any styles with higher slits that are sexier?"

When the monk heard my question, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face. He turned and walked away, deliberately keeping a distance from me, as if he wanted to distance himself from me.

However, the shop owner did not notice our subtle changes and still enthusiastically recommended it to me: "Of course, there is also this mesh splicing design, which is looming and the high slit is very tempting."

I continued to chat happily with the boss and picked out the clothes I liked. When I checked out and left, I found that the monk had disappeared. I picked up my phone and called him. When he answered, his tone was full of helplessness and complaints: "Brother, don't tell outsiders that you know me in the future. It's too embarrassing."
