A glimpse into chess
It's impossible to achieve 100% recovery by human effort alone, and some data will inevitably be lost. There's no time to rest and recuperate now, and collaboration with various parties also requires data support, so DY needs to recover the data.
It would be more troublesome to implement, and she was also working hard to break through. She had to fix it as soon as possible. Ye Lin stayed up all night, writing lines of code that filled the computer.
At dawn, Ye Lin walked out and saw her colleagues dozing off. She gently covered them with their coats and ordered breakfast.
Ye Lin walked out of the DY Building. The sky was azure at six in the morning, and the air was quiet and humid. She zipped up her coat and went to the hospital.
Ji Jinyan's surgery was complete, and he lay quietly in the ward. It would take a few days for him to wake up. Ye Lin came to see him, sitting by his bed. In fact, if Ji Jinyan hadn't blocked that attack that day, she could have killed the killers before they could do anything.
But Ji Jinyan's actions became a variable, causing him to be injured, and he protected Ye Lin like an arrow from a bow.
Ye Lin looked at him lying there quietly, lifeless.
"Ji Jinyan, DY has encountered a malicious attack. It should be related to the project in the west of the city. I helped you stabilize it."
"DY is waiting for you to wake up."
Ye Lin reached out to his arm, held his hand, and massaged his acupoints to help him wake up quickly.
I stayed with Ji Jinyan in the hospital for a while in the morning, talked to him, and then hurried back to the company to deal with the remaining matters.
Ye Lin has been working on breaking through the data that was covered by the original attack, and the staff are also working hard.
Another day passed, and Ye Lin had already completed half of the data program writing.
"Ye Lin." Gu Li'an rushed in.
"The board of directors knows about it. I'm going to attend the meeting now." Usually Ji Jinyan would attend such meetings, and he was obviously a little nervous.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of anything."
"I'll go with you." Ye Lin picked up her coat and walked out.
Gu Li'an followed, wishing Ye Lin would leave, and felt a little more at ease.
All shareholders were sitting at the board meeting, waiting for Gu Lian'an to arrive. It was obvious that this was a denunciation meeting.
Gu Lian pushed open the door of the conference room, and everyone's eyes looked over at him.
He swallowed nervously. Behind him was Ye Lin, who had an imposing aura, and she gestured for him to sit in the main seat.
Gu Lian sat down, and an elder took the lead in attacking.
"Xiao Gu, where is DY's core data?"
"Still recovering."
"Restore? Who told you to take the initiative and format all the data backups?"
"DY was attacked by malicious hackers at the time. If all the data had not been destroyed and leaked out, DY would have been finished."
"Why didn't you report such a serious matter at the time? Without the consent of all shareholders, who would have allowed you to do this? Do you know how much damage DY has suffered? Who said the data would be lost? The network department successfully blocked it, but what about the data? All gone, all the hard work of over a decade. I think DY is truly finished now. This is how that Ji brat manages things."
"He just laid there and ignored the mess he had left behind. He created such a huge mess and left it alone. I was strongly opposed to the acquisition of that land from the beginning."
"Director Huang, none of the projects you've developed in recent years have lasted. You've rejected every proposal Ji Jinyan put forward, and all those you rejected have brought huge benefits to DY. None of the ones you favored have ever come to fruition. I think you really live up to your name. Whatever you do, you're Huang."
"Everyone here, ask yourselves how much development and profit has Ji Jinyan brought since he took over DY? Which of you hasn't just been reaping the benefits? If something goes wrong, you'll be held responsible. If it were really handed over to you, DY would probably go bankrupt, and you wouldn't be able to come up with a solution."
A senior shareholder slammed the table and said angrily, "Where did you come from? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Gu Li'an said, "Ye Lin is the controller chosen by Jin Yan. Since Jin Yan is not here, she is the most qualified person."
Ye Lin looked at the progress bar on her phone. "The data is being restored. DY will be running normally in ten minutes. We can bear all the losses."
"You're still talking big here. Call security immediately and get her out of here."
Gu Li'an immediately stood up to defend her, "Hey, don't move. Ye Lin said ten minutes would be enough. What? You can't even wait ten minutes?"
"Okay, I'll give you ten minutes. If you still can't do it after ten minutes, both of you will get out of here, and Ji Jinyan will be deprived of his position as chairman."
"We'll know the result in ten minutes." Ye Lin was not panicked at all.
Gu Liyan broke out in a cold sweat. He had made such a boast just now because he was afraid that Ji Jinyan would wake up and find out how Ye Lin was treated and come to settle the score with him. But what would he do next?
Gu Li'an signaled Ye Lin with his eyes, asking her to go first to avoid the embarrassing situation of being kicked out later. He would stay and take care of it himself.
Ye Lin acted as if she didn't see it and just glanced at his mouth that was twisted so tightly that it was about to cramp.
Time was ticking by, and when ten minutes were up, the assistant went to check DY's intranet.
Then he shook his head at the director, and the shareholder slammed the table and stood up, "Humph, I thought you were so capable, but you're just stalling for time."
"Kick them both out! Ji Jinyan is no longer the chairman of DY from today on."
"Let's see who dares to move."
"Wait, the network and data are back to normal operation."
Two voices came at the same time, the latter being the director's secretary.
As for the former, a person pushed the door open and walked in. It was Ji Jinyan, who was wearing a black suit.
Ji Jinyan sat in his proper seat, propping himself up with his hands.
"Uncles, you are making things difficult for my people while I'm away." He glanced at the people present.
"I knew everything that happened while I was in a coma. I condoned their actions. What's going on? Are my words as the executive director no longer convincing?"
"Do I need your consent for anything I do?"
"You have all worked hard with my father until now. I will give you some face, but don't really think you can become the head of my Ji family."
Ji Jinyan's aura was fully revealed when he said this, which he had never shown in front of Ye Lin before. A skilled negotiator can overwhelm the opponent with his momentum and make the opponent timid and discouraged.
"Jin Yan, what you said is serious. We have watched you grow up, and we sincerely hope that you can lead the group to regain the glory of the old Ji."
"It's for my own good. Weren't you just thinking about how to take off my hat? Don't keep mentioning my father. I'm not the kind of person who would condone your misdeeds out of old friendship."
When the shareholders who play the role of peacemaker fail to work, the next step is for the directors who play the good guy to come on stage.
"Jin Yan, is this how you talk to your elders? Regardless, it was indeed your decision-making errors that caused the group's losses this time."
"The group's losses weren't caused by me; there were some shady people at work. Ye Lin's instructions were correct, and I will compensate DY for its losses. I can promise that within a year, not only will the group's stock value recover, but it will also increase by three points, at least doubling its market value."
The shareholders in the seats whispered to each other, saying that it was simply impossible to accomplish this within a year.
After a round of discussion, "Okay, Xiao Ji, we'll trust you this time. If you can't do it after a year, we'll consider whether to hold a new shareholders' meeting to elect a new board of directors."
"But if you can really achieve it within a year, Xiao Ji, we old men won't ask about any of your decisions in the future."
These people are profit-oriented. If Ji Jinyan can really bring such huge profits, they will naturally be happy to see it happen.
"good."
"The meeting is adjourned." Ji Jinyan walked out of the meeting room.
However, as early as when Ji Jinyan came in and started a heated argument, Ye Lin already knew the final outcome, as this was his home court.
Ye Lin left early. She walked out and passed by a negotiation room with a half-open door. An elderly man with gray hair and a dignified appearance was seen with a grace and temperament on his face that could not be eroded by time.
He sat there leaning on a golden cane, waving at Ye Lin, "Little girl, come in and sit for a while."
Ye Lin sat opposite and the elderly man poured her a cup of tea.
"Come, try some freshly woken Gannianji grass."
Ye Lin took a sip with dignity and composure.
"How about it?"
"The accumulated scattered months transform into a mellow aroma, and the reputation of this tea returns to Zhu. This tea is rare in the world."
"Okay, okay, little girl, I didn't expect that you are so knowledgeable about the tea ceremony at such a young age." The old man laughed heartily.
"Oh, girl, you are really good at chess. I have been studying this chess game for a long time, but I still can't find a way to break it." The old man looked at the chess game on the table and pretended to sigh.
Ye Lin took one look and was sucked into the vortex of the situation. She saw a battlefield full of thousands of troops, soldiers fighting desperately, and two countries at war. The raised battle flags and the cheering horns showed that both teams were determined to fight to the death.
No matter how you look at it, this game is a lose-lose situation for both sides. This chess game is about loyalty and righteousness, family and country, and seeking a solution to the ancient dilemma.
The chessboard is almost full, with no room for reversal, so the two fighting beasts can only be trapped to death.
"There's no solution to this game."
"Hahahahahahaha." The old man laughed loudly, but Ye Lin saw helplessness and sadness in his eyes.
"There is no such thing as an unsolvable problem in this world. There must be an answer somewhere in the universe, it's just that no one has discovered it yet."
"Girl, can you give me this answer?" There was a pleading look in the old man's eyes.
"What answer do you want?"
"An answer that proves me wrong."
The old man has a sense of responsibility. If the game is really solved, it may make his heartache worse.
The old man also saw Ye Lin's consideration and said, "Ye Lin, if possible, please tell me. I don't want to live a difficult life with regrets."
"I can try." The scene just now appeared in Ye Lin's mind again. This time she saw the battlefield after the war. There were millions of corpses, blood flowing for thousands of miles, and smoke of war everywhere, but no one lit the beacon of victory.
Ye Lin quickly searched the battlefield. Without a single survivor, no one could represent victory.
Ye Lin closed her eyes.
Hush, listen, there must be living beings within thousands of miles, even a blade of grass or a stone.
"Found it." She opened her spiritual eyes.
Ye Lin followed the path to a mountain of corpses, and beneath them lay the answer. Beneath the soldier lay a dying infant, a child from the enemy nation.
That was a live chess piece planted by the soft-hearted.
The reserved ending has been revealed.
Ye Lin picked up the last chess piece and placed it on Zhongyuan.
"It falls here." The old man didn't understand and immediately deduced the entire chessboard.
"One in ten thousand, I understand. So that's how it is."
"But, it's not just that."
Ye Lin rotated the chessboard, turning the black piece into herself and the white piece into a friend, but the last piece just now became the black piece's way out.
"I said there's no solution to this game. If there's a winner, one piece must remain."
“It’s not about seeking one in ten thousand, it’s about seeking one among ten thousand.”
Ye Lin's loud shouts severed the thick rope that the old man had been pulling tightly for more than ten years.
The old man's eyes were filled with tears, he was confused and shocked, he didn't dare to think further.
"Grandpa Ji, how do you know that what you think is not what he thinks? Maybe he is willing?" Ye Lin comforted.
The old man in front of him was the old man of the Ji family. Mr. Ji was shaking with excitement, "He understands."
Ye Lin picked up the last piece on the chessboard and put it away. "This chessboard has already been solved. Why put down this one more piece?"
Ye Lin picked up the tea set and made a cup of tea for Master Ji. "Try the Gannianji tea after the residual temperature has cooled. The biggest feature of this grass is that it has two different effects at two different temperatures. Grandpa Ji, try this tea."
Old Master Ji took a sip slowly and smiled, "My taste is indeed not as good as you young people."
"Xiao Ye, thank you. I lost my composure in front of you just now."
Ye Lin shook her head. "It's just that your grandson is in there dealing with those shareholders, and you don't seem worried at all."
Master Ji raised his eyes and glanced at her. "Years ago, I also went to Gao Country and met a very wise and kind lady. She gave me this chess set. I didn't even understand it. She said she would tell me how to break the game when we meet next time.
Later when I went to look for her again, I couldn't find her anywhere, so I had to take the chess set back to Quan State.
It was not until something happened to the Ji family that I understood the meaning of the chess game.
Just now when you walked by, I suddenly realized that your figure looked so much like her.
Perhaps God couldn't bear to see me like this, so he let you fulfill one of my wishes."
