Chapter 6 Chapter Six

Whether in public or private, I feel so fulfilled.However, it is the enrichment of the negative meaning. I remembered that at the wedding ceremony of my wife and I, someone said this sentence in his speech: "With Kayoko as a partner, I can guarantee that the rest of your life will be quite fulfilling, both in public and in private." I remember that person was The guest of honor at my wife's side, however, I doubt very much now if that person was really my wife's friend or relative.I staggered on the subway: I thought, that person's guarantee is bullshit.Yes, I do have a fulfilling life right now, but it's all negative.

The subway was running in the direction of my house, and I stood by the door, looking out the window at the wall flying backwards, as well as the upward trains staggering past, and sighed.No progress at work today, spent the whole day trying to contact the customer, but couldn't even hear the customer's voice, just got wave after wave of voice system attacks.I also tried emailing, again no response. "Does the other party really know how to read emails?" After five o'clock in the evening, Oishikura Nosuke said: "Maybe that mailbox is not in use at all, why don't you try to write something rude?"

"The content of the faux pas?" I frowned. "For example, write some insulting words, maybe there will be a response. Like my dad, if he hears a question he doesn't want to answer, he will pretend he didn't hear it; but if someone speaks bad words to him, he will definitely reply. .” "Using this method, if the other party responds, it will be terrible." But then again, it might be worth a try.However, the risk of directly writing dirty words is too great, so I wrote words such as "this case cannot be completed on schedule", and added a sentence "the coded part of the program cannot be interpreted. Please explain the architecture of the compiler, otherwise the work cannot continue".

Oishikura Nosuke said with a smile: "Anyway, the other party must not be using this mailbox." Kudo, who was typing on the keyboard while eating snacks, also said: "I have sent so many letters and asked for no response. This mailbox should be empty. Take care of it." I thought so too, so nonchalantly sent the email. This kind of mood is like stuffing a letter into a bottle and throwing it into the river, hoping that someone will read the letter one day.It's just that I never dreamed that this letter in a bottle would end up in the hands of Mr. Kato. Fifteen minutes after sending the email, my cell phone rang.As soon as I picked it up, I heard Section Chief Kato yelling: "Hey! Watanabe! What are you thinking?" It felt like his saliva sprayed onto my face along with the radio waves.

"Well, I've thought about it a lot." I replied.For example, the client company that could not be contacted, Gotanda Masaomi who ran away, what to eat for dinner today, whether my wife Kayoko is still suspicious of my cheating, whether my cheating object Sakurai Yuga is having fun overseas, etc.It turns out that a person can think about so many things at the same time, "Human beings are amazing. Section Chief, do you think so?" "What nonsense are you talking about? Watanabe, what do you think of doing business? Listen, the business department just received an email."

"Who sent it?" "The client sent it. It is the case you are in charge of now." "Gosh Co., Ltd." "Yes, it seems to be called this name." You can't even remember the name of the client company, what do you think of doing business?I was tempted to say this but held back. "The client's letter complained that you sent a strange letter, saying that the case could not be completed on schedule. Watanabe, did you really send this kind of thing?" I faltered, unable to say a word. "Hey, hey, did you really send it?" Section Chief Kato sighed exaggeratedly.

"So the other party replied?" "Does that still matter?" "But until just now, the other party has been unable to contact." "So what?" "Uh, because the other party didn't respond at all, so I sent an impolite letter experimentally, trying to see if there is any response." I couldn't think of any need to hide the truth from the section chief, so I honestly said come out. "Have I ever taught you that?" Kato asked coldly. "what?" "Send a rude letter to a client when you don't know what to do. Have I ever taught you that?"

"No." "Isn't that right? In short, I just want to ask you one thing. You said that the case cannot be completed as scheduled. Are you kidding me?" "Huh? Uh, no..." I was so at a loss that even I felt funny, "I really want the case to be completed as scheduled, but the reality is that there are areas on the crime platform of the entire system that we cannot know about, such as Compiler architecture or something." "Can't know? Then you won't ask them?" "I tried, but I can't get in touch." "Then how did your impolite letter arrive?"

"Except for that letter, the other party has never responded." I felt that it would be a waste of saliva to continue talking, so I asked, "Chairman, you plan to write back to Gosh Company, saying that we will definitely complete the case as scheduled, aren't you?" "Nonsense, what else can I say? I will ask the business department to tell the other party that a member of our company who is emotionally unstable has said strange things for a while, and our company has suggested that my dear friend resign voluntarily." Section Chief Kato probably thought that his words would be like a heavy punch, knocking me down, but unfortunately, these words had no effect on me, because it is difficult for people who have already fallen to the ground to come back. Get knocked down once. "The head of the section, can you please ask the business department to tell them by the way, and ask their person in charge to contact me? You can also call my mobile phone directly, and it doesn't matter at any time."

Section Chief Kato on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and muttered, "Watanabe, why do I feel like you're risking your life?" "of course." "Are you afraid of being asked to resign?" "Chairman, didn't you say this morning? Once a person is pushed into a hurry, super powers will be awakened." "Is it "Phantom Wars"? Yes, I said so." "That's pretty much how I feel right now." "That's just an animation plot." "Chairman, please forgive me for asking honestly, do you know what kind of website is developed in this case?"

"Do I need to know?" It is necessary, I thought. "This is a dating site." I said helplessly. "Oh, is that so?" Section Chief Kato's tone changed a bit. He paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and then lowered his voice and said, "Hey, Watanabe, can you do something about that system?" "What are you doing?" "It's like joining a member with a special account, and you can be exempt from paying membership fees." Now I don't have the mental strength to take this sentence seriously, nor do I have the physical strength to take this sentence as a joke, so I can only laugh twice and pretend to be stupid. "By the way, there is one more thing." Kato said: "The other side asks you not to touch the content of the program that has nothing to do with this project, so don't meddle in your own business, finish the work as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible. It's okay to ask That’s right, it’s the way it should be done.” After hanging up the phone, Oishikuranosuke was looking at me worriedly. "Huh? Where's Kudo?" I asked.Kudo was still here just now, I poked my head and saw that his computer screen was also turned off. "He's gone back." Oshikura Nosuke said, pointing to the clock on the wall.The off-duty time is six o'clock, and now it is six past five. "I haven't seen a programmer like this for a long time who can happily leave work on time before the get off work is finished." "Let's follow him." I said, it looks like there won't be any progress today, and Oishikuranosuke must be exhausted, so it's better to go home and rest early.Oishikuranosuke was a little hesitant at first, but after a while he squinted his eyes and rubbed the corners of his eyes, bowed and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey, and go home to catch up on sleep." Inside the subway car, there are advertisements everywhere.I have been working overtime a lot lately, and I can't catch the last train, so I haven't seen these annoying ads for a long time. I heard that in the past, the advertisements in the carriages were all printed on paper. I believe that the advertisements at that time must not be as annoying as they are now.In modern carriages, all walls and ceilings are fully embedded with LCD screens, and advertisements are played at any time.When you think about it carefully, no matter where you look, there are advertisements. This feeling is really amazing.But then again, as long as you don't think about it carefully. Are newspaper or TV ads still effective in this day and age?Since the emergence of the Internet, this type of advertising method that has been hyped to an unspecified majority has gradually lost the trust of advertisers. I remembered something my friend Yoshitaro Isaka said.The man who has a resounding title of writer but lives a dissolute life once said to me proudly: "In the past, it was difficult for people to evaluate the effect of newspaper advertisements. Later, with the popularization of the Internet and the development of search engines, the situation is completely different. Now as long as you search for 'coffee' on the Internet, coffee advertisements will appear on the screen. Since Searching for the word coffee indicates that the person is somewhat interested in coffee and will definitely see the ad, and from these two points alone, online advertising is much more effective than TV or newspaper advertising.” Kotaro Isaka is considered young in the circle of writers, but his works are quite popular, so he himself is quite complacent.But he obviously has a family, but he spends every night fishing in the busy streets, and brazenly flaunts his status as a writer in front of women.Because I know this side of him, to me he is a man not worthy of respect.In public, he always puts his words high-soundingly, such as "I am very happy, I have so many readers who support me, but I still have a lot of room for effort, and I will work harder every day." But in fact, The only thing he "works harder every day" is to pick up girls on the street, he is really the worst man in the world. "The contribution of the Internet is great." Yoshitaro Isaka smiled vulgarly, "The influence is not to be underestimated. For example, when my new book is released, if there is a message on the Internet that 'that guy's new book is ugly' What? Everything is over. News on the Internet and factual news are two sides of the same coin, and other people who get the news on the Internet, even if they haven’t read my book, will think that book is ugly.” "So." I replied, "Isn't it possible to reverse the operation? It's like trying to find a way to spread the news of 'that book is very good' on the Internet." "Nearly twenty." "what?" "The number of websites I own. I started to set up websites very early, and gradually increased one by one. Now there are nearly twenty. Of course, each website is independent, whether it is the domain name or the appearance of the webpage. Different. Whenever I have a new book coming out, I will write something like 'his new book is a masterpiece' on the website. Of course, I will post it at the right time, and there is no suspicion of advertising between the lines. The interesting thing is If you do this, there will gradually be voices on the Internet saying that the book is very good.” "That's it? Is it so easy?" I was stunned: "In other words, you are not writing a novel at all, but manipulating information." Yoshitaro Isaka said calmly: "The point is that the content of the novel should be written avant-garde. The characteristics of avant-garde works are that they are easy to praise but hard to criticize, and they are especially easy to manipulate." He laughed sinisterly. I remembered that he also said before: "Next time I will write a sentence on the cover of the new book 'This book does not add coloring, does not use genetically modified food', so that people will think that other books should add these things." Hazardous substances? Then people will think my books are better.” He was a man with such things on his head. The advertisements in the carriages kept playing, some passengers looked at it blankly, and some passengers completely dismissed it.Not long after, the headlines of weekly magazines began to play on the screen. To be honest, I have been busy with work and have no idea what is going on in Japanese society.But when I saw the name "Yaoshima Zhang", I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least I have heard of this name. He is an active member of Congress. The news headline reads: "Take Nagashima hid the Harimasaki Middle School incident for the first time, breaking the five-year silence." I still remember the incident at Harimazaki Junior High School vividly, but come to think of it, that was five years ago. When I walked out of the station ticket gate, "Kimi no Dai" rang on my phone.I picked up the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar phone number. I thought it was the call from the responsible window of the Gosh Company, and I was secretly glad that the method of sending the message by Section Chief Tokato seemed to have worked. I immediately picked up the phone and answered "Hello", but the deep voice of the other party broke my good mood immediately, "Uh, where are you now?" It was the voice of a strange man. I kept telling myself in my heart that the highest guiding principle of doing business is customer first, so I honestly told the name of the station where I was. "Let's go there now." After saying this, the other party hung up the phone. "Huh?" I couldn't help being taken aback, why did the other party come here for an interview?By the time I thought about answering and saying, "I think we can talk on the phone," the other party couldn't hear this sentence.I hurriedly called back, but only heard the voice read: "The number you dialed did not respond." As soon as I hung up the phone, the national anthem was sung again. I didn't even look at the phone number, so I immediately held the phone to my ear and said rudely, "I don't understand what you want..." "Nothing to do." It was my wife Kayoko who said this, and she immediately asked me, "Where are you?" I intuitively answered the name of the station I am currently at.But she said again: "I'm asking about your stealing object. Where did you hide her?" "Huh?" I froze again, unable to speak for a while.Then I held the phone to my ear, and lied as I walked up the stairs: "I didn't steal." "Didn't you recruit last time?" "If I hadn't said that that time, my nails would have been lost." The strange man you sent would have pulled them out long ago. ——I added in my mind. "The woman wasn't at her house. I called the company to ask, and said she had traveled overseas. There must be something strange," "This is the truth, what's wrong with it, and, aren't you working?" "Even when I'm not working, all I can think about is my husband-in-law. This is love." She said coquettishly, I really don't know how serious she is, "Forget it, I'll meet you to meet my husband." Ability." After saying this, she simply hung up the phone. I can't help but sigh.I murmured in my heart: Whether it is public or private, today is really a fulfilling day. I wonder how everyone is doing?
