After hearing this, Ma Bo thought about it thoughtfully for a while.
Xu Liang pretended to regret and said, "Hey, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart. No matter how it is arranged, we just have to listen to Mr. Huo."
"I understand, Team Leader. Don't worry."
Seeing that Ma Bo had been fooled, Xu Liang laughed inwardly and just waited for Ma Bo to take action.
Ma Bo first bought a bunch of food and went to find Liu Huanyi.
He was carrying two bags of snacks, and before he even reached them, Xing Zhao stood up and looked at him warily: "What are you doing? Are you trying to cause trouble for us again?"
"Who said I was here to cause trouble? We are all colleagues, can't I buy some food to comfort you?"
The weasel pays a New Year's visit to the chicken, but he has no good intentions.
Xing Zhao complained in his heart, "I'd better not do that. I'm afraid it will be poisoned."
"How can you say that? I won't harm you." Ma Bo threw the snacks on the table. "I'd have to be stupid to harm you in the company. There are cameras everywhere, and there are colleagues. Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Who knows?"
Xing Zhao took a look at the snacks he bought. They were not as good as the ones Liu Huanyi usually bought and kept in the studio, so they were not interested in eating them.
"Take it back, we don't want to eat it."
"Why? I really won't hurt you."
Ma Bo pulled a chair over and sat between them. His attitude before and after was so different that Xing Zhao and Wei Zhou wanted to drive him away, but were stopped by Liu Huanyi.
"Forget it. We'll have to work together later, so be friendly."
"Yes, yes, yes. Listen to your boss. Harmony brings wealth."
Ma Bo rubbed his hands and kept glancing at their computers. "What stage are you at now?"
Xing Zhao immediately blocked the computer and stared at him, "What are you doing? Are you trying to steal our team's secrets?"
"No, what do you mean by stealing? They are all from the same project. Show me what's wrong with that."
Ma Bo said unconvincedly, "Aren't you going to give us the comprehensive data after you finish the front end? Now we just need to take a look in advance."
"Why should we give it to you in advance? Who do you think you are? If we want to give it to you, it should be to Mr. Huo. It's not your turn."
Ma Bo glared at Xing Zhao in frustration and tried to get close to Liu Huanyi, but Liu Huanyi ignored him completely.
There was no choice, Ma Bo had to leave in disappointment, and before leaving he did not forget to pick up the two bags of snacks he brought with him.
"Hey, didn't you say you would bring us some food? Why did you take it away again?" Xing Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"I brought it to you just to show my goodwill. If you don't appreciate it, then why should I leave it for you!" Ma Bo curled his lips and left without looking back.
"With such little potential, I'm not interested in him." Xing Zhao spat at Ma Bo's back and was about to find Liu Huanyi to seek justice, but Liu Huanyi told him to ignore Ma Bo.
"First, finish the task at hand. Have you completed the three sets of data I asked you to do? The front end is waiting for these data."
Xing Zhao smiled awkwardly and touched his nose embarrassedly.
"I'm still working on it. It's almost done."
"I have to work overtime today to get it done. I need it tomorrow morning."
Since Liu Huanyi said so, Xing Zhao had no nerve to refuse and immediately raised his hand as if swearing.
"Yes, Boss, don't worry, I won't go home if I can't finish it tonight! I can even live in the company!"
"You don't need to live in the company. Finish your work early and go home early."
Liu Huanyi glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "There are still three hours left. Let's do it quickly."
No one noticed that a shadow was moving slowly in the corner, and Ma Bo tiptoed away.
As soon as six o'clock arrived, Hu Die and Wei Zhou turned off their computers on time, and Liu Huanyi turned off the screen.
"Let's go, get off work."
Only Xing Zhao was left holding his computer and wailing, "All of you go away! I'll work overtime alone!"
Hu Die covered her mouth and laughed at him, "Who told you to work so slowly on the data? We are all waiting for your data to work."
"I'm so tired."
Xing Zhao lay on the table, complaining but with a smile on his face.
"Stop arguing. You continue to work overtime. If Mr. Huo doesn't pay for the overtime, I will. Is that okay?"
Xing Zhao immediately sat up straight and nodded vigorously, "Of course, Boss, you are wise. I will go through fire and water for you."
"You don't need to go through fire and water, just get the data out for me as soon as possible."
Liu Huanyi, Hu Die and Wei Zhou left work first, leaving Xing Zhao alone at his workstation to work overtime.
Another hour passed and most people in the company had left.
Xing Zhao stretched and rubbed his eyes. He was about to continue to grind data when he suddenly heard a few "crackling" sounds and fell into darkness.
“Oh my god—!”
Xing Zhao collapsed and hugged his computer and yelled, "How unlucky he is! The power outage happened!"
The entire floor was in darkness. Xing Zhao had a hard time seeing the road, let alone working overtime. He could only use the light from his cell phone as a flashlight.
The security guard hurried up and asked if anyone was there.
"Here." Xing Zhao gestured to the security guard in despair, and the security guard quickly ran up to him:
"Are you hurt?"
"No. Why did the circuit breaker suddenly trip?"
The security guard didn't know the reason either. Logically, it was impossible for the power to trip at Huo's company. Huo's company had two generators, which were second to none among private enterprises.
"I'm not sure of the reason yet. Please stop working. Why don't you go back at this time?"
Overtime is not popular these days, and security guards are surprised to see people working overtime.
"Hey, I didn't want to finish this job before going back, but now I can't do that. I'd better leave."
Xing Zhao picked up his clothes and walked out. Because there was no electricity, he couldn't even take the elevator and had to climb down the stairs.
He walked down the stairs in the dark, and always felt that someone was watching him from behind. He turned back every now and then, but all he could see was darkness.
Xing Zhao felt uneasy and hurried downstairs, just wanting to leave quickly.
The next morning, Liu Huanyi was thinking about completing the task as soon as possible, so he went to the company early in the morning.
While waiting for the elevator, she heard a few Huo employees talking about a power outage, so she just listened in.
"I heard that the company's power outage last night was caused by a power outage for half an hour. Don't you think that's too weird? The company hasn't had a power outage in three years."
"Yeah, so maybe he has offended someone..."
"Don't say these things in broad daylight!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more."
Liu Huanyi was just planning to ask Xing Zhao if there was a power outage, but when he arrived at the office he saw Xing Zhao tinkering with his computer.
As soon as he saw her, Xing Zhao immediately complained: "Boss, I'm so unlucky!"
"What do you mean?"
Xing Zhao patted his computer host and said dejectedly, "I was working overtime last night when the power suddenly tripped, so I had to go home. When I came back to work overtime early in the morning, all the data on the hard drive was gone."
The data not only includes the model they made, but also half of the data that has been calculated. If the data is lost, all the efforts will be wasted and everything will have to start from scratch.
