Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

Chapter 788 Technical Equipment

She held a coffee cup in one hand, sipping her coffee—something she'd brought back from Russia. With the other hand, she typed on her phone.

She sent a message to Lei Jun, saying that she had compiled some foreign trade data tables and asked him to arrange a time to meet.

Unfortunately, Lei Jun never replied to her in time.

Zhao Haixia doesn't know any high-level executives! How could an ordinary employee possibly ask about the timeline for integrating headquarters?

Only Lei Jun, the general assistant, is considered one of the people who can get the first information.

So she decided to start with Lei Jun.

Lei Jun was currently working as a programmer in the software group of the lab. Time had lost all meaning for him.

I can leave work whenever I want, and I can go out for a meal whenever I want.

As for his phone, he kept it in the locker room.

New phone, and a new number?

He asked the telecommunications engineers what methods and principles were used to eavesdrop on people like him.

"Actually, it just uses your phone number to send a signal to your terminal. Your phone won't ring. In less than a second, before the machine can even react, it has already received the signal, and that's how it connects to your phone."

As long as you don't turn your phone off, it's basically being monitored 24/7. In other words, your phone becomes a listening device, listening to everything you do, from making calls to talking to anyone.

Lei Jun dared not use his old number anymore. He was afraid that the other party would upgrade their technology and crack his new phone again, so that he would be constantly being listened to, which would always make him feel uneasy.

By a twist of fate, Zhao Haiyan's message was never seen.

"The number you dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later." After waiting for two days without receiving a reply, Zhao Haiyan proactively dialed the number.

Who would have thought the phone was off? At first, I thought they were in a meeting and had to turn it off, but when I called back after get off work, it was just a cold, mechanical voice.

"Are you suggesting I get a fake number?" Zhao Haiyan couldn't get through on the phone and felt that Lei Jun was just giving her the runaround.

But then I realized something was wrong; the phone number was correct, otherwise there wouldn't have been such a commotion that night.

"They changed their number?" That was all Zhao Haiyan could think.

Then we can only use the old method: blocking them at the cafeteria.

Who knew that Lei Jun no longer eats in the cafeteria, but instead eats at the lab buffet.

Zhao Haiyan searched for two days without finding him. When she was sending documents to the office, she found a good acquaintance and asked, "Where is that handsome young man from our general office?"

"It seems like he was transferred to CEO Xiao's lab. Sigh, I heard he's single now."

"Didn't you say you just graduated? It's normal to be single. It's a pity I'm only three years older than him, otherwise I would have pursued him," Zhao Haiyan said, feigning shyness.

"A woman three years older than her husband is like a golden brick; you're capable of that. How about I help you set up a relationship?"
