Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The Snail is Unfathomable Lin Jianyuan is not working...
Lin Jianyuan didn't have time to think about the snail. He returned to his workstation and quickly swallowed two pills. The sweet pills melted in his mouth, and he took a deep breath and began to concentrate on his work.
"Take your laptop and go to the live broadcast room." Lin Jianyuan ordered.
Pei Shuo was quick and efficient. He packed up both of their laptops and power supplies, and also took away other things that might be needed.
Jiang Chen was so frightened by Lin Jianyuan's words "Just wait for the compensation" that his legs were still weak at this time.
He handed over the keys: "Can you two drive? My hands are shaking a little..."
Lin Jianyuan glanced at him coldly: "I just took some psychotropic drugs. Are you asking me to start a course directly to the underworld?"
"I'll do it! I can drive!" Pei Shuo took the key and rushed out to press the elevator button.
The three of them were unusually silent while waiting for the elevator. Lin Jianyuan was scrambling to read the plan on his PAD, which had been modified by Jiang Chen.
Every time Lin Jianyuan's fingers paused, Pei Shuo quickly wrote it down.
Jiang Chen didn't even dare to breathe and stood silently by the side.
Pei Shuo had only just gotten his driver's license, and he was driving recklessly. Jiang Chen sat in the back seat, clutching his seatbelt with a look of fear. Lin Jianyuan looked at him and wanted to kick the idiot out of the car.
Finally, I arrived at the live broadcast room. The cramped soundproof booth was packed with equipment, except for the area in front of the camera, which was empty.
Three cameras were facing the central ring fill light, and the anchor desk in front of the green screen background was still empty - the 3D virtual scene originally intended for product display had a rendering error because of the "square-faced black cat" that Jiang Chen temporarily replaced, and the technical team was cursing at the flickering screen.
"No need to debug, just use the original version!" Lin Jianyuan rushed over in a hurry, left a word and ran away.
"Huh?!!" The technical team collectively asked angrily.
Lin Jianyuan thought that it was finally my turn to say this, but unfortunately he didn't have time to savor the joy of being the client, so he turned around and checked the other arrangements in the live broadcast room.
Pei Shuo was crouched in a corner, checking his teleprompter, his fingers nervously tugging at the edge of his PAD, nearly fraying the screen. Scattered across the director's desk were posters featuring pirated square-faced black cats. Lin Jianyuan, seeing them, flew into a rage and rushed over to rip the posters off.
"The show starts in four hours. Redo the background and remove all printed materials!" Lin Jianyuan grabbed Jiang Chen by the collar and asked impatiently, "When will the new materials arrive?!"
"It will take some time." Jiang Chen anxiously called people in the group.
At this time, a young assistant passed by and saw Jiang Chen and subconsciously called out "Hello, Mr. Jiang".
Lin Jianyuan and Jiang Chen looked up at her at the same time. The young assistant was stunned for a moment, her eyes fixed on Jiang Chen's collar which was tightly grasped by Lin Jianyuan.
Jiang Chen was struck by lightning and immediately stepped back. He patted his collar with an unnatural expression and muttered, "It's okay, I can tie the tie myself. Lin Jianyuan, just focus on your own business!"
Assistant: “…”
Lin Jianyuan: "Idiot."
Jiang Chen was so embarrassed that he couldn't hold back his face. The assistant noticed that the atmosphere was not right and said, "I'm going to find the anchor" and ran away quickly.
"The color grading team lowered the background saturation! Director! Has the director communicated with the anchor? Go check the script - forget it, just bring it to me so I can check it myself!" Lin Jianyuan felt like he was completely relying on drugs to suppress his irritability. He calmly directed everyone and took the time to take out his vibrating cell phone and take a look.
——Jiang Chen went crazy and tagged everyone in the work group, causing chaos in the entire group.
Lin Jianyuan quickly browsed the chat history and saw only one sentence in a pile of nonsense: Too late.
"Lin Jianyuan, um..." Jiang Chen walked over hesitantly with a look of disgust on his face.
"Shut up and stop talking." Lin Jianyuan interrupted him, "Go to the warehouse now and move all the spare materials from last week's proofing. There are three boxes in total. Go!"
"Me?" Jiang Chen pointed at himself in surprise.
Lin Jianyuan: "Then I'll leave?"
Jiang Chen had a look on his face as if he was being forced to eat shit, and he finally walked away dejectedly.
The electronic countdown jumped to [02:12:47]. Pei Shuo passed by a promotional sign, more than a meter tall, and glanced at it. The sticker on the sign was wrong! His face suddenly changed. After hesitating for two seconds, he grabbed a utility knife, squatted down, and began to scrape the surface.
He was afraid of scratching the bottom of the sign, so his hand holding the utility knife was shaking until Lin Jianyuan threw a can of spray glue at him: "Use this! Quick!"
Pei Shuo reacted quickly, took out the correct sticker, and slapped it on the wrong picture.
Everyone was running.
The anchor was screaming "Where are my contact lenses" from the next room, the technical team was hammering the crashed server, and Jiang Chen tore off half of the green screen when he tripped over the wires while moving a box.
Pei Shuo clutched the materials list and looked at Lin Jianyuan, who was leaning against the wall, drinking a bottle of mineral water with his head tilted back. His pale fingers were operating rapidly on the laptop, and his bangs were hanging down to cover the blue circles under his eyes.
The red light in the control room suddenly came on.
"The audio team is preparing for the first joint debugging!" the director roared.
All irrelevant personnel left the live broadcast area. Pei Shuo quickly walked over to Lin Jianyuan. Lin Jianyuan raised his hand to wipe the water stains from his lips and said, "That's enough. You keep an eye on it first—most importantly, keep an eye on Jiang Chen and make sure that idiot doesn't cause any more trouble! I'll be gone for a while."
"Brother Yuan!" Pei Shuo hurriedly caught up and asked worriedly, "Where are you going? Are you feeling unwell? I'll accompany you!"
Lin Jianyuan said irritably, "I'm taking a shit! You're the one taking a shit with me!"
"..." Pei Shuo was about to forcibly go over and support him, but upon hearing this, he quickly retracted his hand and said angrily, "Oh. Then, then you do your best!"
Lin Jianyuan walked away with a look of resentment on his face, as if to say, "What are you talking about?"
There was still half an hour before the live broadcast. Lin Jianyuan thought about it again in his mind and felt that there should be nothing missing this time.
He breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the toilet.
His scalp was still tingling and his head was buzzing from the previous operation. No, he had to shit hard with pay! Otherwise, he would be doing himself a disservice—no, damn it, he was still on sick leave! Shit!
Lin Jianyuan cursed and set an alarm for ten minutes, then sat on the toilet and started watching short videos.
However, in his extremely irritable state, even watching short videos was boring. He turned to Candy Crush.
It has to be said that at times like this, he still had to play Candy Crush, especially with the sound effects turned on. The bang-bang-bang sound of the gems colliding made him extremely happy, and the dopamine kept hitting his nerves, allowing him to temporarily escape from this pile of stupid things.
The next second, ding ding ding——
The alarm clock rang!
Lin Jianyuan was stunned and quickly turned off the alarm. He stood up while pulling up his pants, wondering, "Ten minutes are up already? So fast? It felt like we'd only played one or two rounds!"
But looking at the time, it was indeed ten minutes later...
Destroy it.
This class is really unbearable to attend.
Lin Jianyuan washed his face hastily at the sink, regained his spirits, and returned to the live broadcast room.
The host is in place, the camera lights are in place, all instruments and equipment are debugged correctly, and the materials are confirmed to be correct.
The director's hoarse roar pierced the entire audience: "Everyone, be quiet! Three, two, one - push the stream!"
Lin Jianyuan stood behind the director, arms folded, watching the live broadcast with him on the console screen. Jiang Chen let out a long breath and said with relief, "I can't believe it! We actually succeeded! We saved him!"
Lin Jianyuan and Pei Shuo looked at him at the same time.
"Uh, what?" Jiang Chen knew he had spoken out of turn, and said awkwardly, "Okay, I admit, this time it was mainly Lin Jianyuan's help that saved our company from this dire situation..."
"No, Brother Yuan probably doesn't mean that." Even Pei Shuo couldn't bear to watch this anymore. He said speechlessly, "Boss Jiang, the live broadcast has just started. There are still three hours to go! We can't let our guard down yet. The most crucial part has just begun!"
Jiang Chen: “…”
"Pei Shuo, don't blame President Jiang." Lin Jianyuan crossed his arms and said coldly, "President Jiang has always been in charge of the overall situation and has never personally participated in the live broadcast. It's normal for him to be ignorant."
Don’t understand.
The three big words were like three iron fists, hammering Jiang Chen's face hard.
"Okay...ok." Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and turned away.
Lin Jianyuan stared intently at the live broadcast. Everything was proceeding smoothly and as planned. Fatigue gradually set in.
"I'm so angry! This bastard is always sarcastic. He made us so busy, and not only didn't he say thank you, we even had to buy our own coffee!" Pei Shuo was filled with righteous indignation, and handed over a cup of hot coffee angrily. "We are too miserable, like cattle and horses, to have to buy feed at our own expense!"
"Thank you." Lin Jianyuan took the coffee and casually comforted Pei Shuo.
Fatigue piled up layer by layer. The smoother the live broadcast went, the more exhausted Lin Jianyuan became.
His previously overly tense nerves now relaxed uncontrollably. Lin Jianyuan yawned repeatedly and had to gulp down the coffee.
The whole day's running around made his back and waist ache. Now he felt uncomfortable sitting in the swivel chair and kept tossing and turning.
The three-hour livestream felt like being in jail. Lin Jianyuan even resorted to his ultimate time-killer: Candy Crush.
However, this time, Candy Crush wasn't any use.
He had already played more than a hundred levels, and when he looked up, it was only eight o'clock.
Eight o'clock! It's only been an hour!
Help! There are still two hours left... Lin Jianyuan wailed in his heart, boredom, irritability and fatigue continuing to accumulate.
"Brother! Do you know where Jiang Chen is?" Pei Shuo came back from a stroll, furious. "He's sleeping soundly in the lounge! Damn it! We're watching the live stream here! And he's actually sleeping next door! He's snoring so loud! I can hear him from the hallway!"
Lin Jianyuan was too tired to curse his idiotic leader. Seeing his deathly expression, Pei Shuo quickly said, "By the way, brother, go back first! Leave this to me! Don't worry, even if Jiang Chen puts a knife to my neck this time, I won't listen to his blind orders!"
The temptation to go home and sleep was too great. Lin Jianyuan thought about it, but still shook his head: "I'll find a place to lie down for a while, maybe twenty minutes. If anything happens, call me immediately."
"Okay. Brother, go quickly!" Pei Shuo stood up and handed him a coat. "Use my clothes to cover yourself, don't catch a cold!"
"Yeah." Lin Jianyuan accepted his kindness, waved his hand and was about to leave when something suddenly flashed before his eyes.
Lin Jianyuan froze in his tracks, looking around blankly. Finally, he saw a familiar, suspicious mark on the ground.
No, not one.
There are countless paths.
At some point, countless sparkling water marks appeared on the ground around them.
The water marks crisscrossed, and upon closer inspection, they seemed extremely sticky. Like an airtight net, it quietly enveloped everyone in the live broadcast room.
"What's wrong, brother?" Pei Shuo looked up at him.
"Nothing." Lin Jianyuan scratched his head, "Be careful, it's slippery."
Pei Shuo: “?”
Lin Jianyuan went out to find a place to rest. When he passed by the next door, he did hear snoring coming from inside. Lin Jianyuan clenched his fists, resisting the urge to rush in and shit on Jiang Chen's face, and went to find a place to rest on the other side of the corridor.
Lin Jianyuan set an alarm for twenty minutes, covered Pei Shuo with his coat, closed his eyes and lay down comfortably.
——Ding ding ding!
Lin Jianyuan: “?!”
Lin Jianyuan woke up from his sleep with his heart pounding. He grabbed his phone and saw that the alarm was ringing!
It's already been twenty minutes? So fast?!
Lin Jianyuan scratched his hair in annoyance. The thought of having to continue watching the live broadcast after returning home gave him a headache.
How about... sleep for another five minutes?
Lin Jianyuan yawned continuously, feeling sleepy. He pressed the "Snap in five minutes" button, threw his phone away, turned over and fell asleep again.
——Ding ding ding!
Why again? ! ! !
Lin Jianyuan felt like he had just closed his eyes when the alarm clock rang again. Five more minutes of sleep... He didn't even want to open his eyelids. The desire to continue sleeping had overcome everything.
I want to sleep for five more minutes, even if the sky falls... Lin Jianyuan closed his eyes and reached for his phone in extreme irritability.
The phone fell to the ground.
Lin Jianyuan still didn't want to open his eyes, lest the sleepiness fade away. He closed his eyes, turned sideways, and stretched out his arm to touch the phone under the sofa.
I didn't touch the phone, but I touched something wet, cool and soft.
"!!!" Lin Jianyuan lost all his sleepiness in an instant. He jumped up and said, "What the hell! What the hell is this!"
"Fuck! You can see me!" The snail on the ground screamed.
Lin Jianyuan: “?”
snails:"??"
Lin Jianyuan sat on the sofa and stared at the snail, and the snail lay on the ground and stared at Lin Jianyuan.
A man and a snail looked at each other.
The snail twitched its tentacles and said in an enigmatic voice, "I never thought a mere human could actually see me..."
"What the hell is this!" Lin Jianyuan was furious and stepped on the snail.
