Ring

Wei Shenzhi was very surprised—to be honest, he was a little upset.Although he was not difficult to get along with, he always disliked uninvited guests, not to mention that there were some things that were not unpleasant but definitely not pleasant between him and this uninvited guest.

Seeing that no one came to answer the door, the doorbell was pressed a few more times, and then the voice outside the door said: "Wei, I know you are at home, and the lights are still on."

He had no choice but to open the door.I saw Edgar leaning against the wall, looking at himself with a smile.As if to fend off the cold winds of the California night, he put on a long trench coat.The hem of the black clothes almost melted into the night behind him, while the brown-haired man lowered the brim of his hat, his slightly pointed chin was almost pale against the dark color.The corners of the light-colored lips are slightly raised, but the contrast between white and black brings a distinct charm.

Wei Shen put one hand on the door frame and looked at him with a headache: "Mr. Flanders—"

"Call me Edgar."

"Okay then, Edgar." Wei Shenzhi rolled his eyes, "What's the matter with you? Could it be that you really want to deliver food to me?"

Edgar nodded, and put a warm box in his hand, "I have other things to ask for you, and I just brought you a pizza by the way. I heard that people who make software live and eat poorly." law."

Wei Shenzhi looked at him and smiled, a very faint smile: "Edgar, what do you want to do?"

"It's just my guess. It's fine if you've already had dinner."

"You clearly know that's not what I asked."

Edgar shrugged his shoulders: "Wei, can you let me in? I bet the temperature is less than 65 degrees Fahrenheit." After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Wei Shenzhi very sincerely. It was a smile, "Besides, the proposal you submitted to Western Network last time, we have already formulated a plan within half a year based on the previous negotiation."

As he said that, he pulled out a plastic folder from his black briefcase and shook it in front of Wei Shenzhi, "I said I would look for you before you left the laboratory at five o'clock in the afternoon. But I will wait and see. ……Where are you?"

"Huh? Why didn't I know?"

"How is it possible? I obviously left a message for you at around eight o'clock this morning. It was because I couldn't find that person that your colleague Selina told me where you lived. She seemed to think that I had something very urgent to tell you."

The two looked at each other for a few more seconds.Wei Shenzhi pushed open the door and walked into the house, making a gesture of invitation, with a helpless expression on his face.When he went home before, he saw that the notification light of the message on the phone was on, but he was used to accumulating all the messages until the next morning, but he didn't expect to miss Edgar's call because he left a few minutes early. message.

In this way, I let go of the opponent's pigeon without knowing it at all-it was a mistake.

The lives of people who engage in software are indeed irregular, and the room is not tidy.There are various programming books on the sofa in the living room, and there are many sundries on the desktop.Wei Shenzhi piled a notebook and a few scattered books on the sofa to the side, then sat opposite him, and raised his chin to Edgar.

"Sorry, my place is messy." He showed an apologetic expression.After all, you released someone else's pigeons, and the other party came to see you with food.

"I don't mind." Edgar spread his hands, sat down in the place he had cleared just now, and handed over the revised contract and proposal, "It was originally an informal visit, but it will be temporarily The sample will be shown to you, and it will take a few days before the formal signing."

"During your stay in Las Vegas for a few days, we have completely investigated the brilliant performance of 'Silver Shield' and Inspur's share in the Asian market and consumer groups. This is our new amendment."

When it comes to work matters, the cynical smile on his face disappeared, replaced by 12 serious, serious and sharp eyes, "On behalf of Western Network, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you. Kate and I have no After conducting a comprehensive investigation on you, I drafted the previous 'Snow Flower' and 'Sakuragi'-style business plan."

Hearing the other party's affirmation of his achievements, Wei Shenzhi involuntarily raised the corners of his lips, then tried to suppress the pride in his heart, and tried to maintain a serious expression: "The main market of Inspur is not in Europe and the United States. Mistake."

He flipped through the revised version in his hand, and shook his head at one of the items, "Thanks to Westnet for increasing the number of print media to four, but I hope Inspur's advertisers will not overlap with Magi's advertisers."

Edgar was not surprised: "Is it because of the '' copyright dispute? I know that you used to be the core developer of the project, and you were also flourishing in magi. If you don't change jobs, your future will be bright."

This is not a secret, and it is not too much for the other party to find out.So he nodded generously.

"To be honest, I personally don't trust Magi's favored Diamond Media. Magi once lost project data, and some high-level executives have guessed that it was because of Diamond Media."

"Magi itself is a dilapidated ship. Its hull is rotten, and the people in charge of it over the years have gradually diverged. As for what you said, their database has been hacked, and there is already a lot of evidence to show that they are insiders."

"It's better to believe something than nothing. Inspur can't afford any risky moves now, not to mention the success of the 'Silver Shield' project is directly related to the evaluation of Inspur in the North American market." Wei Shenzhi leaned on the sofa , raise your arms.

"Is this your opinion..."

"Yes. If the four print media must include Diamond Media, I'd rather only have three—er, Edgar, that pizza was bought for me, right?" The aching stomach was already protested.Wei Shenzhi rubbed his stomach, and glanced at the pizza in his hand from time to time.

"...Take it and eat it." Edgar couldn't help laughing.

…………

Time passed quickly.By the time the two of them had finished discussing, the clock had already struck twelve o'clock at midnight.Wei Shenzhi had already stayed up all night, and after working hard all day, he really felt that his upper eyelids and lower eyelids were about to fight.

But tomorrow's formation is still full of arrangements.He also had to go to the board of directors to greet him and ask for funding, and to check that the new process was working.Working part-time as a technical director and project manager at the same time, he felt like his brain was going to die.

Because I ate pizza just now, I now have some cheese and tomato sauce on my hands.Wei Shenzhi went to the bathroom and came back after rinsing, only to see Edgar sitting lazily on the sofa with his legs crossed and looking at himself thoughtfully, with his signature smile on his face, No matter how you look at it, you feel uneasy.

Wei Shenzhi felt a little strange when he stared straight at him.The strange feeling came back to me a few days ago when I was played a cheap prank by that person in the Palazzo restaurant.

The other party's eyes seemed to hit him with substance.Neither standing nor sitting, in the end Wei Shenzhi couldn't bear it anymore and decided to have a showdown.

"Edgar, why do you always act so strange?" He tried his best to convey his meaning, but tried not to sound so blunt and thorny, "I mean...why do you always stare at me? I read?"

And of course the menacing advice, and the pizza brought today.If he simply released his pigeons, then he could make another appointment with himself instead of running over to bring him a midnight snack at night.

"If you still have the memory of us in the bar that night, you will know why." Edgar whispered, "I also remember that I told you that I also have sad things."

"Uh——sorry." It was really a mistake to drink. It seems that a rookie like myself should not go to the bar to get drunk like a decadent middle-aged person.

"It's okay, it's okay to tell you again." Picking up the match that Wei Shenzhi threw on the coffee table, the brown-haired man lit a cigarette for himself.The cyan smoke rose slowly, and he exhaled slowly, the smile on his face didn't fade away, but he became a little lost.

"The situation you are in now reminds me of someone... who is very important to me."

"Lover?" If it wasn't his lover who was similar to him, then it would be too funny for him to make such eye-catching actions in the restaurant.

"That's right." The smoke was a bit choking.Edgar coughed twice, and gently put the remaining half of a cigarette on the coffee table, "Your situation is very similar to her back then, so I will naturally help you."

Wei Shenzhi really didn't expect this to happen.Seeing Edgar slowly closing his eyes and rubbing the aching brow, he really didn't know how to feel.After figuring out the truth of the matter and Edgar's strange behavior, he should have realized it all at once.But what about the "situation" he mentioned?Is it because I have two jobs, or is it because I am in an embarrassing position in Inspur...?

Although he really wanted to ask the other party "how much do you know about my situation", but looking at Edgar's current appearance, he knew that he and that girl definitely did not get together in the end.

Wei Shenzhi felt very sorry for bringing up sad memories for others.He tried his best to pile up the sundries on the sofa, then sat beside Edgar, reached out and patted his shoulder, and was about to say something, but found that Edgar, who had been lowering his head just now, suddenly lifted up face.

The eyes met for a moment, and he only saw a flash of gold in those brown pupils, and then he was stunned.In the next instant, it was as if the retina had been torn open, and countless golden colors flooded into the field of vision like a tide.

At this moment, he couldn't see anything, he could only see the glittering golden eyes of the other party.

"Wei?"

Edgar's voice seemed to come from far away, asking with a smile.But he just followed his body's instinctive reaction and nodded subconsciously.

"Look me in the eyes. Tell me, who are you?"

"I...I am..."

The dark-haired man couldn't think at all.He just stared blankly at the other person's eyes, and the other person's voice came from his ear, with a magnetic hoarseness, constantly beating on his tympanic membrane.

Edgar already knew his reaction by heart.The bewitchment had already achieved its effect, so he slowly leaned forward and held up the other's slender white hand.

During this process, he kept staring at the black pupils of the other party.The soft tongue slid over the blue blood vessels at the opponent's pulse, and the sharp canine teeth bit down gently.
