Chapter 43 Sweeping the Building
Golden Vienna was the first property that Shi Yanchen looked at.
In front of the sand table in the marketing center, agent Wang introduced nonstop: "This is our latest French luxury residence. Every piece of the exterior wall is made of Carrara marble imported from Italy..."
Shi Yanchen stood in the model room, frowning as he looked at the golden decorations and Baroque-style carvings.
The study even has an entire wall of gold-painted wallpaper that sparkles under the light.
"Too exaggerated." He shook his head and turned away.
The location of River View No. 1 is quite good, close to Riverside Park, but when he walked into the model room, he immediately found a problem.
"Although the design of connecting the living room and the dining room is transparent, the functional divisions are not clear enough." Shi Yanchen took the floor plan and analyzed it carefully, "The study is too small and can't even put a decent desk."
In this type of apartment, when Pei Song cooks in the kitchen at night, the smell of oil smoke will spread everywhere.
Agent Wang was a little embarrassed: "Mr. Shi, you are right, but we have other apartment types..."
"No need to look." Shi Yanchen turned and walked towards the elevator without waiting for her to finish.
The facilities at the World Trade Center are truly impressive.
The hotel is fully equipped with a clubhouse, swimming pool, library and gym.
But when Agent Wang mentioned the figure for the property management fee, Shi Yanchen shook his head again.
"Such high property fees are probably a reserve for future commercial operations by the developer," he said calmly. "This means that the community will become more and more commercialized in the future, and the privacy and security of residents will be affected."
The Arc de Triomphe Apartment is the one that interests him the most. The entire community adopts intelligent management, and everything from access control to home control can be operated by mobile phone.
But when he actually walked into the room, he discovered a fatal problem.
"The southbound view is completely blocked by the office building opposite." He stood in front of the window, looking at the glass curtain wall less than 20 meters away, "The winter sun can't get in at all."
Pei Song likes to cook, and poor lighting in the kitchen will affect his mood.
Agent Wang was amazed by how picky he was about the house.
Every time he looks at a house, he not only studies the floor plan, but also measures the orientation and lighting of each room on site, and even deliberately chooses different time periods to observe the sunlight conditions.
It was not until he saw Heguangli in the south of the city that Shi Yanchen's eyes lit up for the first time.
This is a low-density community with a simple and modern architectural style, which perfectly suits his aesthetic.
The apartment is square and practical, with north-south ventilation. The master bedroom and study both have floor-to-ceiling windows, providing excellent views.
What satisfied him most was the location of the study, its spacious space and independent balcony facing the city skyline.
He could imagine Pei Song sitting here studying, with the afterglow of the setting sun shining on his focused profile.
And the location here is also very convenient, only a ten-minute drive from the SNK headquarters.
There is a subway station at the entrance of the community, so it will be very convenient for Pei Song to go to work.
There are several coffee shops downstairs, which just satisfy Pei Song's habit of drinking coffee.
Back at the hotel, Shi Yanchen's mouth curled up unconsciously when he saw Pei Song writing a report seriously on the sofa.
…
When the "Future Hotel" project entered the system docking stage, an unexpected problem disrupted all plans.
"There is an anomaly in the data connection!" Li Ming reported at the regular meeting on Monday, "The supplier's intelligent service system is incompatible with our hotel management system, and all test data cannot be imported."
Zhou Feng frowned: "What's going on? Didn't the previous technical evaluation pass?"
"Maybe they recently updated the intelligent control module." Li Ming glanced at Liu Yan, "According to the current progress, it will take at least two weeks to resolve."
Pei Song was about to speak, but Liu Yan spoke first: "This core technology issue is indeed very difficult. Do you want to consider changing suppliers?"
"No." Zhou Feng rejected it directly. "This supplier's intelligent solution is the best in the industry. Changing it means that the entire 'Future Hotel' project will have to be started from scratch."
He turned to Pei Song and said, "You handle this matter. I want to see a solution within three days."
After the meeting, Pei Song immediately organized a meeting of the technical team, but the problem seemed more complicated than expected.
"The format of these test data is completely wrong." Li Ming pointed at the screen and said, "and each import will trigger a system error."
Pei Song checked the log files and found that the key to the problem might be in the data preprocessing stage.
He asked the team to go back and rest first, while he stayed to continue the investigation.
That night, he stayed up all night in the office debugging the code.
The next morning, the front desk delivered an exquisite lunch box.
"This was sent by a Mr. Shi," the receptionist said. "He specifically asked to make sure it gets to you."
Pei Song opened the lunch box and found his favorite cinnamon rolls and hand-brewed coffee, as well as a note: "Eat on time."
The next day at noon, Zhou Feng happened to meet the food delivery man at the front desk and saw Pei Song's name written on the food delivery man's name.
"Let me take it in for you." He took the lunch box and noticed that the person who ordered the food was written as "Mr. Shi".
"Who sent this?" Zhou Feng put the lunch box on Pei Song's desk and asked casually.
"It's... a friend." Pei Song said, "He knows I've been working overtime these days."
For three consecutive days, Shi Yanchen asked the hotel to deliver three meals on time.
Sometimes it is a simple Western meal, sometimes it is a Chinese stir-fry, but every meal is paired with Pei Song’s favorite drink.
On the afternoon of the third day, Pei Song finally found the problem in the code and frowned slightly.
By carefully analyzing log records and code modification history, he keenly noticed interface parameters that had been deliberately modified.
Obviously, someone deliberately set up obstacles in the data docking process.
Judging from the time when the records were modified and the person who did it, Li Ming is the most suspicious.
Pei Song did not point it out on the spot, but said calmly: "Look here." He pointed at the screen and said to Li Ming, "It's a problem with the data type definition. Their system uses the UTC timestamp, and we use the local time, so there will be deviations every time we synchronize."
Li Ming was stunned for a moment: "So simple?" There was a hint of guilt in his tone.
"There's more to it than that." Pei Song continued to explain, "We also need to consider time zone conversion and daylight saving time adjustment, which all need to be handled uniformly during preprocessing. And all modules of the intelligent system, from room control to customer service robots, will involve time synchronization issues."
He opened the code he had written and said, "I have already written the conversion function. What do you think of this solution?" He specifically attributed the problem to system compatibility, giving Li Ming a reasonable way out.
After Li Ming read the code carefully, his expression became a little complicated.
This solution not only solves the current problem, but also proactively handles other time zone issues that may arise.
What made him feel most guilty was that Pei Song clearly discovered the interface parameters that were modified manually, but chose to remain silent, and instead covered up this obstacle that was obviously set by humans.
If Liu Yan hadn't instructed him to interfere, Pei Song wouldn't have had to endure so many days.
"This... is very well written." Li Ming praised it rarely, with a hint of guilt in his tone.
As the two were discussing the details, Liu Yan came over and asked, "How is it, is the problem solved?"
"It's solved." Li Ming said, "Manager Pei found the key to the problem."
Liu Yan's expression changed: "So fast?"
"Yes," Li Ming said with some admiration, "and his plan is very comprehensive, even anticipating the problems that may be encountered in the global deployment in the future."
