Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Run a network cable to the ordering computers in front of these desktops, and then the data is transmitted to the computers in the back kitchen.

The chef also uses a mouse and keyboard to view the information.

For Chen Dong, a reborn individual, this was an embarrassingly difficult situation—the kind of skill that could carve out a three-bedroom apartment.

But for people of this era, it is simply astonishing.

...

In winter, a biting chill permeated the streets and alleys of Beiping.

On the commercial street, crowds thronged, people wrapped in thick cotton-padded coats, hurrying between the various shops.

Steam rose from the street food stalls, and the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and sugar-roasted chestnuts filled the air, attracting the attention of passersby.

The vendors selling candied hawthorns carried straw baskets covered with candied hawthorns, calling out their wares along the street. The bright red hawthorns, coated in a crystal-clear sugar coating, shimmered with an enticing luster in the sunlight.

Chen Dong and Chu Mengran strolled side by side through the bustling street. The shop windows on both sides of the street displayed all kinds of goods, and the flashing lights reflected the joyful or satisfied expressions on people's faces.

Popular songs were playing in the music stores on the street, and the familiar melodies floated in the air, adding a touch of vitality to this cold winter day.

Chen Dong was wearing a faded black leather jacket over a gray sweater, paired with dark blue jeans and black leather shoes. He looked very energetic.

Chu Mengran was wearing a beige long down jacket and a red wool scarf. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her fair face looked even more beautiful and charming against the backdrop of the scarf.

The two would occasionally stop in front of a shop window to admire the merchandise inside.

They would occasionally talk in hushed tones, their laughter echoing in the cold air.

Just then, the pager on Chen Dong's waist suddenly buzzed, breaking the warm atmosphere.

He frowned slightly and looked at Chu Mengran with a hint of apology: "Mengran, I'm sorry, I have to take this call."

Chu Mengran smiled and nodded, her eyes full of understanding: "Go ahead, it's alright."

Chen Dong looked around the street and soon spotted a public phone booth.

The phone booth was a bit old and had some dust on the glass, but at this moment, in Chen Dong's eyes, it was like a savior.

He strode over, pushed open the door, and a musty smell hit him.

He dropped in a few coins and dialed the number displayed on the pager.

A sweet voice from the paging service operator came through the phone: "Hello, this is the paging service. Which number do you need to inquire about?"

Chen Dong quickly said, "I just received a pager. Could you please tell me the number that called me?"

After a quick search, the staff gave the number to Chen Dong.

Upon hearing the number, Chen Dong immediately understood. He lightly patted his forehead, thinking to himself, "Something must have happened at the company. Employees don't usually call me unless there's a problem. It's so cold, and it's a holiday. Why would they do this unless it's an emergency?"

After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and dialed the game department of the company's programming department again.

After the phone rang a few times, Li Hua's anxious and somewhat complaining voice came through: "Hello, this is the Game Section of the Programming Department at 361 Inc."

Chen Dong cleared his throat and said calmly, "Section Chief Li, I am Chen Dong."

Hearing his boss's voice, Li Hua felt like he had finally found someone to confide in, and immediately started talking: "Boss, I'm so glad I got in touch with you! This is a really big deal!"

"You know the Sengoku Fuuun cartridge game that we customized for Sega, right? We worked hard for three months to finish it, and it finally passed their review. The producer has already returned to Japan with the program."

"But just a few days later, they suddenly called to say they needed to make temporary changes to the game character settings!"

Chen Dong's brows furrowed instantly, his tone tinged with doubt and dissatisfaction: "What? It's already finished, why do you suddenly want to change the character settings? Isn't this just pointless fuss!"

"Section Chief Li, have you told them about our difficulties?"

Li Hua sighed and said helplessly, "Boss, can I not tell you?"

“I told them about several difficulties, such as the tight schedule, our employees were already on vacation, and calling them back to work overtime would definitely cause complaints.”

"Besides, the game has already been completed, and they didn't say there were any problems during the review process. Now that this has suddenly happened, we can't make any changes at all!"

“I also told them that it was already finished, and making any changes would be like doing it all over again, which is simply not realistic.”

"But Sega wouldn't listen at all. They took the last clause of the contract and said that the production had to satisfy the client, so they forced us to make changes."

"I really have no other choice but to call you to report this."

Chen Dong remained silent for a moment, quickly searching for a solution in his mind.

The company currently has insufficient funds, and if it faces compensation due to breach of contract, it may fall into a cash flow crisis.

But changing character settings on short notice is easier said than done.

After a while, he spoke up: "Section Chief Li, I understand your difficulties. This matter is indeed tricky."

"But Sega is the client after all, and we have a contract with them. If we don't do what they ask, we may face the risk of breach of contract."

“Our company is still in the development stage and can’t afford such setbacks. Don’t worry, let’s think of a solution.”

Li Hua said anxiously on the other end of the phone, "Boss, I really have no other ideas."

"This is too difficult to change, and the time is tight. Even if all our employees come back to work overtime, we may not be able to finish it on time!"

Chen Dong took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound firm yet gentle: "Section Chief Li, please calm down."

"Let's gather the staff back together and discuss how to complete this task in the shortest possible time."

"I know everyone is on holiday, and suddenly being called back to work overtime must be unpleasant for everyone, but there's nothing we can do about it."

"How about this, after we complete this mission, I'll give everyone an extra month's bonus as compensation. What do you think?"

Li Hua hesitated for a moment before saying, "Boss, giving out more bonuses can indeed soothe the employees' emotions to some extent."

"But the timeframe is too tight. I'm afraid even if everyone comes back to work overtime, it will be difficult to finish."

Chen Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Section Chief Li, let's give it a try first. Why don't you gather everyone from the three programming teams back together, and let's brainstorm together? Maybe we can find a good solution."

"And you tell everyone."
