On Monday morning, it snowed in Zhangjiakou.

There was a traffic jam on the road, and Ye Mo arrived at the company at 9 o'clock, which was close to the working time. He took out a makeup mirror to look at his face. His makeup was complete, and he opened the door and got out of the car.

"Good morning."

"Good morning-?"

While waiting for the elevator, he met a male colleague from the next department. He was stunned on the spot as if he had seen a ghost.

When the elevator door opened and Ye Mo walked into the elevator, he hurriedly followed him into the elevator.

The atmosphere along the way was too quiet.

When the elevator reached the 14th floor, the male colleague walked out of the elevator in advance without knowing it. Until Ye Mo disappeared at the corner wall leading to the locker room, he slapped his forehead and said "Fuck" three times in a row.

"Is that Ye Mo from the engineering department?!"

It happened that his position was near the office in the public area, and he just saw Ye Mo's colleagues with the same "Fuck" on their faces.

For a while, men were more excited than women when gossiping.

“葉主管變得好漂亮。”

“笨蛋，那是她化妝了，發型換了，眼鏡也換了。你忘記每年年會咱們主管都會驚豔一批人，當然了，她那時只化淡妝，現在妝濃多了。”

“完全看不出妝多濃，你們女人化妝術真神奇，像一個人，但又不像一個人。”

“身材更贊，那腿啊，莫非葉主管談戀愛了？”

“有可能喔，上周葉主管不是請了兩天假，說不定相親去了。”

“哪個男的拿下咱們項目組的唯一一枝花，咱們揍他！”

直到上班過去了一個多小時，依舊有少部分人還在議論紛紛，并且把這種讨論，在中午的就餐時間，拓展到了公司的其他部門。

男的整體還算矜持。

Women even came to the engineering department in groups to take a look and compare.

It's not that Ye Mo is so independent and eccentric. For someone like her, she would definitely have a beauty score of over 85, but she wouldn't be like a celebrity strolling down the street.

The main problem is the "freshness", "magic", and "change". Even the cosmetics she used were consulted by several female colleagues next door. It's a woman's nature to love beauty.

And it's also because the departments are really idle at the end of the year.

When Ye Mo took the project information to the office of Xie Xin, the manager of the engineering department, she couldn't avoid being teased by her boss.

"Spring comes a little early this year!"

"..." Ye Mo put the documents on Manager Xie's desk, with her resignation report on top. "Old Xie, you think too much. It's still a cold winter with temperatures below -8 degrees Celsius."

"The Spring Festival is coming soon. I understand you want to find a companion to go home for the New Year." Manager Xie looked like an experienced person, squinting his small single eyelids into a slit. "But it's not worth giving up your career for a man. Our company is one of the leading groups in the domestic machinery industry."

Ye Mo nodded: "That's right, thank you Manager Xie for your care and guidance over the years."

"Thank you, my goodness."

After persuading her to no avail, Manager Xie could only accept Ye Mo's resignation letter helplessly: "It will not be announced to the public before the project is fully completed. If you regret it, I will pretend that I have not seen this."

Ye Mo hesitated for a moment, but still did not change his words: "Please arrange for someone to take over as soon as possible, Manager Xie!"

She went directly to work at Chuanming Group after graduation, and she still had feelings for the group. When it came to the moment of resignation, she was not very happy, but rather felt a lot of loss.

To put it more hypocritically, this company was really an important period of her youth.

"Old Ye, when you leave, even a mosquito in our engineering department is a hero, it has really become a temple!"

Manager Xie wiped away his non-existent tears in a dramatic manner, and his performance was very eye-catching.

Ye Mo watched him pretend calmly.

Just then, the administrative assistant came in to deliver some documents. He couldn't hold back his laughter, so his shoulders were shaking. Following Manager Xie, it was definitely a sin to have a low sense of humour, because Manager Xie was often so funny.

Manager Xie also looked quite festive, with a tall and strong body, a round face, and round eyes. I really don't know how he managed to win the heart of the most beautiful lady in the finance department of the neighboring group.

... As soon as the

resignation report was submitted, the project was nearing its end.

Ye Mo's work became easier. He put the practice of mind control in the office during the day and trained his physical fitness until early morning and late at night.

Occasionally, he would take the remaining paid annual leave from last year.

In addition, he used the excuse of "using public power for personal gain" to conduct project experiments with the group's equipment, and forged several fire axes.

The hardness and sharpness are better than the fire axes on the market, but the special properties are not good. Just imitating the patterns on the axe body is not enough to imitate the essence.

Ye Mo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Although he encountered setbacks in the fire axe, he found many new possibilities in other aspects of mechanical design.

For example, he found that the initial mental control technique can improve the precision when it acts on metal materials or composite materials. The materials are all non-living substances. There is a paragraph in the control technique skill book.

By using mental power for work, Ye Mo can not only quickly discover the basic characteristics of various materials, but also have unexpected advantages in the production process of some precision equipment.

As we all know, China's industrial development is very comprehensive, but in many high-precision equipment, it is subject to a joint blockade from developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and Germany.

It is not difficult to find the secrets of some high-end equipment design. Ye Mo seems to have found the possibility of breakthrough, and his professional ability has also made very obvious leaps and bounds.

If it were not for the desperate situation of the copy, he would have become a winner in life, allowing the high-end technology of domestic industry to catch up with the United States and Germany, and help China to reach the pinnacle of world industry...

cough cough cough, end.

Compared with boring mental training at home, there are more interesting materials for her to toss around in the company. Different materials, different hardness, and different density are more beneficial for primary manipulation.

[It is detected that the survivor Ye Mo has broken through the mental threshold, and the mental attribute is +1. ]

During a certain exploration of high-end bearing steel, there was an unexpected surprise discovery, and suddenly I was reluctant to leave the company. It happened

that the last CNC bending machine equipment project at the end of the year in Group 3 had a flaw.

The group couldn't find an engineer to replace her at the end of the year, and there were still some minor and minor issues to be dealt with in the follow-up production of the project, so Ye Mo agreed to extend her working hours. She

even began to think about whether to resign.

Would not resigning help her to exercise her mental strength more than resigning?

...

It is worth mentioning that in addition to exercising herself, Ye Mo also kept an eye on the news on the Internet on December 21, the Winter Solstice Festival.

There was no news about North Korea and Mongolia, and there was no news about it on the hot

searches in Japan and South Korea. As for China, on the evening of the 21st, two or three social news about strange deaths appeared one after another on Sina's hot searches.

Except for the trainee, these hot search news were soon occupied by entertainment news, and only limited vocabulary could be searched.

When Ye Mo went to look for it again on the 24th, many news had been forcibly "404 removed from the shelves".

The mass deaths at almost the same time undoubtedly attracted the attention of relevant national departments.

As for the superpowers, Ye Mo did not see anyone pop up.

Maybe someone popped up but she didn't know, and she would not pop up for this because she was afraid of trouble.

Regarding whether ordinary people can use the props produced by the system, whether other people can see the system App, the conditions for logging in to enter the game, whether Guo Jia's father has discovered the app...

There are many questions, Ye Mo chose to temporarily suppress his curiosity and carefully cover his vest.

…

On January 19, two days before the start of the second instance, at noon on Friday, Ye Mo asked for half a day off again. He still had a lot of annual leave left from last year, so it would be a waste if he didn’t deduct it.

Manager Xie was helpless: “Let’s go!”

After returning home, she put on a lighter makeup, wrapped a cashmere scarf that was almost forgotten by her owner, and covered herself with a thick white down jacket, and led the bandit to the parking lot.

“Woof woof woof!” The big black dog was temporarily fixed in a limited position, and his tail kept wagging.

“Be obedient and play with your toys.”

Ye Mo drove out of the community and headed towards the capital Beijing. Her destination was the place where she grew up - Majing Hutong.

Hutong is one of the city’s business cards for Beijing, the capital of China.

Majing Hutong, where Grandma Ye lives, is the prime location among the hutongs.

Not only is it located within the Second Ring Road of Beijing, it is also not far from the Golden Hall, the Forbidden City, Nanluo Guxiang, Jingshan Park and other golden scenic spots.

Ye Mo has been quiet since she was a child, and has strange interests.

She has never thought about playing in these scenic spots even at her doorstep, and she doesn't know much about them. The only thing that impressed her the most was the raising of the national flag.

The hutongs in her memory are more like an old photo.

In the 1980s, fields and cemeteries could still be seen in the Second and Third Ring Roads of Beijing. The hutongs were dark and messy, and the messy ones were really messy, dilapidated, and noisy.

The hutongs now are very different from before.

The ground is clean and tidy, and every household has planted more plants. The alleys are winding and twisting. Even in the cold winter, in the noisy city, you can hear one or two crisp bird chirps. It

is both poetic and strange.

After parking the car in the community parking lot, Ye Mo led the bandit and walked deep into the alley.

In the past, the courtyard was allocated to several families to live together, and there were even dozens of families. But people at that time were more willing to move to the building, and they were very unhappy when they were allocated. But

Mr. Ye was a conservative person. In the chaotic times, he secretly hid antiques and broken wood. So he and Mr. Ling, who shared the same ideals, bought a three-story courtyard together.

Now it seems that they have made a fortune.

The courtyard has three entrances. The middle courtyard of the second entrance belongs to the Ling family, and the north courtyard of the third entrance belongs to the Ye family. The public areas such as the front yard are shared by the two families and are not considered. A line is drawn in the middle to separate them.

The relationship between the Ye family and the Ling family has always been good.

After Grandpa Ye, Grandpa Ling, and Grandma Ling passed away one after another, the Ling family still tried their best to help Grandma Ye. The evidence is that the new side door in the northwest corner of the third entrance is rarely opened.

Ye Mo spends much more time with Uncle Ling and his wife than with his biological parents.

Uncle Ling and Aunt Zhang's only son Ling Xiao is studying at Peking University in Kyoto. He comes back less and less, so they rent out the western wing of the second entrance.

Of course, 90-year-old Grandma Ye doesn’t live alone in the empty North Courtyard. She lives with Aunt Yang, a nanny who also works as a chef, and Uncle Li, a protective gatekeeper.

Ye Mo used to go back to Beijing once or twice a month.

Ever since her half-brother sent his twins here, the number of phone calls has increased, and the meetings have become less frequent, only once every three months.

Whether it’s a half-brother or a half-sister, they are basically strangers with blood ties. What’s even stranger than strangers is that when they bump into each other, their conversations will become awkward and silent.

To be realistic, money moves people’s hearts.

The value of the Siheyuan is so high that Wang Qiulan, the current wife of Ye Mo's father, seems not to want to see this cheap daughter in the Siheyuan too many times, and she talks about it behind her back.

Ye Mo doesn't care much about other people, but he doesn't want Grandma Ye to be embarrassed among the remaining relatives.

"Woof woof woof!"

The bandit is a big black dog that is very domineering inside and outside the den.

Although he has been to the alley very few times, facing the unfamiliar environment, the bandit still holds his head high, walks with his head held high, and walks towards the main gate of the Siheyuan at a dog-like pace, neither hurried nor slow, showing his kingly demeanor.

Ye Mo:

"...You are so beautiful!"
