Chapter 2 meet happy

When I was at work, I scanned the computer for color correction, and I couldn't help thinking: "How can I meet Zhang Ailing?" On the LCD monitor is a picture of the calendar of Guangshenghang in old Shanghai. The two sisters are wearing cheongsams with big flowers and flowers in their hands. They are pretending to be cute and smiling sweetly. But because of the vicissitudes of life after more than half a century, there is a taste of someone from the past. I circled my sister's face with the mouse to remove stains, blacken her eyebrows and eyes, make her lips redder and her smile brighter. I couldn't wait to call "Qingqing" to the person in the painting, so I pulled her out of the painting.

Zhang Ailing walked, read, and wrote about Shanghai at that time.Now, it is close to me, only separated by a computer screen, but I can't walk into it, and it can't accommodate me. The two worlds inside and outside the computer are like the distance between dream and reality. It seems that it is within reach, but it is actually hopelessly far away. Suddenly I heard someone behind me say: "After the invention of the Internet, color and sound have brought the function of analog reproduction to the extreme. It is no longer a fairy tale to confuse the real with the fake. If time control is added, can people freely travel through the history of the world?"

I was shocked, and when I turned around, I saw a bright-eyed young man walked in accompanied by the boss, who was giving advice and boasting. It is said that his appearance is quite ostentatious, and his personality is completely different from mine, but for some reason, just this one glance has already made my ears itchy and my face feverish, and I thought with horror: Who is this?Who is this person?Can I know him?When can we see him again? We just met, and we are already thinking about our next date before we know each other.Only a nympho would think so, but at that time and place, this was indeed my voice.

The little girls who could hear the internship whispered in their ears: "Wow, so handsome!" It can be seen that I am not the only one who is infatuated. The boss called me: "Jin, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Shen Cao, a famous photographer and color graphic designer. This is Miss Gu Jinhe, a draftsman." Shen Cao?I froze for a moment, and my heart was inexplicably shocked.Famous photographer Shen Cao?I just bought his photobook by chance yesterday, and I met the author himself today?Moreover, such a talented photographer with soul, thought and experience turned out to be so young!

But what if we get to know each other?He is a "teacher" and I am a "member". There is a distinction between superiors and inferiors, and a clear class distinction. I can't help but feel a little inferior. Unfortunately, the air conditioner was broken again. Originally, the clean room in my heart was self-cooling, but now, the wind wrinkled the pool of spring water, and I felt the hot wind blowing on my face, and I could barely open my eyes. "Brilliant box? Good name!" That nasty Shen Cao laughed loudly. "The idioms about brocade in the dictionary are the most mysterious. ... What pearl treasures are hidden mysteriously?"

Everyone in the office laughed. I also lowered my head and smiled slightly, unable to answer.I'm so stupid. I've had this bad habit since I was seven years old. When I meet a boy I like, I get nervous, my palms sweat, I'm deaf in both ears, and I'm speechless.Good eloquence is used to deal with a big man like Zijun. Every time he sees me, he is embarrassed and at a loss, but I am relaxed.But Shen Cao couldn't do it, he was too chic and at ease, so it was my turn to turn pale. But he still has the following: "Hey, why do I seem to have seen you? Do you have any impression, where did we meet?"

I looked at him, feeling dazed.If these words were uttered by other men, it would undoubtedly be the worst idiomatic sentence pattern, but Shen Cao, it seems that he shouldn't be that kind of person.But met?Why am I unimpressed?It is said that if I have seen such an excellent character, I should not forget it. A gust of fragrant wind hit my face, and my immediate boss, Ah Chen, the manager of the design department, walked in: "This is the photographer of Shenda University? I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and I am disappointed!" There are still such old-fashioned dialogues in this era, I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and relaxed a lot.

Ah Chen exchanged a few words with Shen, took him to visit each office one by one, and told me: "Jin, make a few calls to see which restaurant has a seat, and let us know." Use me as a female secretary. I am resentful, even though my position is low, I am also a technician, a dignified college student of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and I am reduced to doing some boring work of scanning and color correction in front of the computer day after day, and I am called by him to be a tea maker My sister treats her as an overkill. But what about injustice, beat the case and shouted at him SAY UNRAIR?I can figure out what the result will be with his toes, he will smile and immediately nod to me to apologize, Miss Gu, I'm sorry, I mistreated you and treated you unfairly, our cooperation is over, please find another job tomorrow... a job Just drop it.

Don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice?The premise of doing that is that the family has five acres of land as a strong backing.The ancients often hung their crowns to return to farming, but what about modern city people?How can there be farmland to cultivate?The world is as black as crows, and no one is a nobody, and they are equally angry wherever they go. It is better to be familiar with it than to go around and see the different dark sides of all walks of life. It is better to go all the way to the dark.Even if the boss is a man without a beard, after smelling his perfume for a long time, it can only be used as a refreshing oil. Anyway, I don’t want to spend the rest of my life with him, regardless of whether he is sexually healthy or not.

This is Shanghai, a place dedicated to killing people's dignity and ambition.What it wants is not "talent", but "wealth". The "wealth" is big and then the "qi" is thick. If you have no wealth, it is best to swallow your voice. So I swallowed my anger and made a round of phone calls, and then reported: "Today, Seafood Square has a 30% discount on shrimp, and I've booked room number three." "Very good." The boss praised me, "Jinhe is getting more and more capable." The typical ability of servants is not that you are talented, but that you are all-round. The important thing is not ability but obedience. The more obedient you are, the more you can serve, the more competent you are, that's all.I endured the grievance again.

Unexpectedly, Shen Cao saw all kinds of details in his eyes, and asked intentionally or unintentionally before going out: "Miss Gu, won't you come with us?" "Ah Jin? Ah, of course, of course." Ah Chen's ability to steer the rudder is enough for me to learn for another three years. He leaned on the front desk and looked over kindly, "Jin, my legs are sore from standing, how long do you have to wait?" Missy can finish putting on make-up, right?" The tone was as if he had originally planned to invite me, but I was pretending to be confused. I had to stand up, "It's all right, let's go." In fact, I don't want to be exposed to this kind of light, but if I don't come, I don't have integrity, I have no face, and I am shameless. It was just a meal, but the group of little girls were so envious that their eyeballs turned blue, they all stared at me and gave me a thumbs up. I winked at them, acting coquettishly. Elephant clam, salmon, lobster boat, hairy crab, and the biggest dish is two fresh and live shrimps. It is indeed a feast, but there are only four diners-the boss, Ah Chen, Shen Cao, and me. Although I don't know what special status Shen Cao has besides being a photographer, but for the sake of the shark's fin cup, I can guess that he is quite talented.It was quite strange for me to be the accompanying guest.But only if this is the case, you have to be more careful in dealing with it. If you are dull, you are petty, and you can’t show your hands in the scene; if you are too active, you can’t stand the little people. I didn't tell him that I had bought one of his photobooks, for fear of being considered a flattery. Fortunately, Shen Cao is good at talking and thinking quickly, he can't stop making jokes, he can talk about any topic at random, but it doesn't make people bored, and he doesn't feel lonely after a meal. But Ah Chen, who hates me, can't forget to tease me: "Look at Ah Jin, she usually dresses like a lady, but when she sees food, she's useless. The way she breaks off crab legs is really barbaric. What kind of girl is this foreign girl?" Not as elegant as our Shanghai lady." The boss smiled.Shen Cao gave me a sympathetic look, smoothed things over and said, "Today, the crab is indeed delicious, and I can move my index finger a lot. I wish I could grow eight hands to compete with the crab." I originally planned to swallow Ah Chen's breath. I am used to being ridiculed by him for "outsiders" and "outsiders" on weekdays, and I don't know how to be angry anymore.But couldn't bear Shen Cao's understanding, but couldn't help retorting: "We Suzhou people are the most particular about eating crabs. As early as the late Qing Dynasty, we specially made a set of 'crab eight pieces' for eating crabs. It's a pity that Shanghai people are greedy and don't know how to eat, so they have to fight with their hands." "Are you from Suzhou?" Shen Cao looked at me and said slowly, "That day, the land was in the southeast, and there was Gusu City in the southeast, and the Changmen in the city was the most wealthy and romantic place in the world. There is Shili Street outside Changmen, and Renqing Lane inside the street..." "You mean the address of Jinhe's house?" Ah Chen was puzzled, "How do you know where her house lives?" The boss laughed: "He said the address of the Calabash Temple." Knowing that Ah Chen didn't understand, he ignored him and asked me, "What do you mean by eight crabs?" So I explained to him in detail: "It is a small square table, a small round hammer, a small axe, a small fork, a small scissors, and tweezers, chisels, and spoons. When these eight pieces are in place, you can pad, knock, chop, Fork, cut, pinch, pick, scoop, chop the crab blisters, chew and swallow slowly, and eat whatever you want." "So much attention?" The boss was very interested, "Isn't that very troublesome?" "No trouble. Every family has eight pieces of crabs. They are usually made of copper, and some of them are made of silver. They are shiny, exquisite and exquisite, just like handicrafts. In Suzhou, when it's crab eating season, Every family sets up a small square table and serves steamed crabs hot. First, cut off two large pincers and eight legs, and then lightly beat around the crab shell, splitting the back shell and navel with a small axe. , and then take out the crab roe, crab paste and crab meat with tweezers, and finally use a small spoon to scoop in vinegar, ginger, and other dipping ingredients, and eat it with the crab shell." I glanced at Ah Chen's dumbfounded face, feeling quite happy , showing off even more vividly, "So, it takes a lot of effort to knock the crab shell and pick the crab meat. The shell of the crab that has been eaten must be complete, cracked and not broken, and the meat must be clean without leaving any particles. The so-called "cheap seal tender jade Both are full, the shell is protruding and red fat is fragrant'. If Suzhou people eat barbarously, how can Gusu Lin Daiyu taste it herself and write poems to praise it?" "Haha, Lin Daiyu is here to cheer! Alright, the two of you are on par with each other in the competition." The boss laughed loudly, "The brocade box talks about crabs, which makes me so greedy. I must go there next year during the crab season." Let’s go around Suzhou to eat crabs. Well, it’s been agreed in advance that there must be no one less present, and we’ll go together when the time comes, and I’ll be the host!” "Yes, let's go to Ah Jin's house to eat." Ah Chen saw the wind and immediately followed suit, "Jin, are the eight crabs in your house copper or silver?" "Porcelain." I said flatly, neither soft nor hard. Shen Cao smiled again and smoothed things over: "Porcelain? Impossible? I heard that when Suzhou people marry their daughters, eight crabs are a must for dowry. No matter how poor the family is, gold and silver can't afford it. A set of copper crabs But it is the minimum. Do you want to hide the eight crabs as a dowry, afraid that we will steal them and not return them?" I was no match for the joke, my face suddenly burned, and the seascape photo titled "Sigh" suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.For some reason, this designer Shen is in high spirits and has a bright smile, but I always feel that there is a kind of forbearance behind his unruly, a melancholy trauma that cannot be wiped away. During the meeting, the topic has been changed, talking about the integration of network and graphic design.I lowered my head and concentrated on dealing with the claws and claws. I gradually heard the clue: Shen Cao is a freelancer who makes a living from photography and design. Some of his works have appeared on the cover of "National Geographic" The designer of the brochure and web page of the contest, who returned from abroad at the beginning of the year, devoted himself to the new project of Time Software, tried to input audio-visual products into the computer, connected with special network software, and hypnotized by sound, allowing the operator to wander in any place. time and location.In other words, it is to travel through the time tunnel and learn about history and the world personally. "Then I can meet Zhang Ailing?" I blurted out, "Traveling through time and space, is it possible?" "Mr. He said it is possible, of course there is a theoretical basis." Ah Chen spared no effort to flatter him, "Jin, if Mr. He joins our company and develops this software with us, then the company will make a fortune. Regardless of whether the software development is successful or not. No, the effect of this advertisement is already immeasurable.” Only then did I understand that the real value of today's abalone and swallow's wings lies in this.But for a while, I couldn't care about these things, and I still asked persistently: "With this software, can I meet Zhang Ailing?" "You want to see Zhang Ailing very much?" Shen Cao looked at me with a smile. "Theoretically, it is possible. Just input Zhang Ailing's old life information into the computer, and use the screen to restore the background environment at that time just like making a movie. When you are on the scene, you can come and visit.” "My God!" I was dumbfounded, I couldn't believe it, so my dream can become a reality, is it possible? "Scientists have already proved the space-time tunnel, and our invention, although not equal to the space-time tunnel, has taken a big step forward. However, for the time being, it is just a kind of travel in the mirror... yes Jia Baoyu’s sleepwalking is too imaginary, and when it is false, it is true and false. However, how much effect it can play on human history is still a mystery before it is actually put into use.” "My God!" I sighed again, "Can I really see Eileen Chang?" "Look at Ah Jin's stupidity, he can't say anything except shouting God, after all, she is a woman, with long hair and short knowledge, and she is so frightened by a little thing." Ah Chen likes to play tricks on others to show off his humor How can I let go of this opportunity to satirize me, and immediately pretend to be a Xi Shi holding her heart, imitating me and shouting: "Oh my God!" The boss laughed out loud.Ah Chen was even more complacent, resting his chin with his hand more and more, frowned and lowered his forehead, and asked coquettishly, "How can I see Zhang Ailing?" Obviously making fun of me.But don't say it, even though it's exaggerated, it still looks a bit like that.The boss laughed even harder, and explained to Shen Cao: "Our Ajin is a super Zhang fan. It is because of Zhang Ailing's novels that he came to Shanghai. There is a mantra: How can I meet Zhang Ailing?" Shen Cao also smiled: "Maybe this is just a beautiful idea, but it is very likely to be realized. People often say: If I go back in time and let me do it all over again, what will happen to me. But there is no medicine for regret in the world. However, if our software is successfully developed, the final result will be: all the fate you expect can come true, and life can be modified countless times until a satisfactory life is obtained. " "My God!" I couldn't say anything else.To paraphrase Ah Chen's words - "It doesn't matter whether the software development is successful or not" - regardless of whether the software development is successful or not, Shen Cao alone can come up with such a bold idea, which has made me admire it beyond belief.With such a whimsical idea, Pei Zijun would not come up with anything even if he broke his head. His greatest imagination is that if I could be born in ancient times, I would definitely go to the martial arts exam. Hey, wait a minute, if the software development is successful, wouldn't Zijun really be able to go to Jingyanggang to fight tigers?So if he is defeated and eaten by a tiger, will he come back to today? Ah Chen poked the boss and pointed at me, winked like I was in a daze, giggled, and looked like a white-faced person.This Ah Chen, in order to please the boss, is really not afraid of anything.With such good acting skills and a sissy voice, why don't you sing? But I ignored them, just stared at Shen Cao and asked: "Then according to you, people can use this software to travel through time and space at will, so is everything that happened to her at that time and that place true or false? If she Going back to the past to do certain things, and those things have already happened, so what if she changed history? It’s like a person is dead, and I run back to prevent her from dying. Can she live again? are you coming?" "This is a question in the field of philosophy." Shen Cao replied, "The spaces we live in overlap, and there are several spaces and times running in parallel in the universe at the same time. That is to say, you have different images in different time and space. And as, if you change history, then although some things have happened in this time and space, in another time and space it will develop in another direction along the direction you changed." "I seem to have heard this argument. Is it Einstein's theory of relativity? He believes that time and space are relative. If people can go beyond the speed of light, they can go to the past and the future. Then there will be different times and places. Different me. When this one is eating crabs in Shanghai, the other one is still touching crabs in Suzhou Creek, is that so?" "Almost." Shen Cao nodded in approval. "But I can't figure it out. I'm me, how can there be several? For example, I saw a book yesterday and didn't have time to buy it. I regretted it today, but when I went to the bookstore again, I found that it was sold out. Can I Go back to yesterday and buy another copy?" "It's not impossible. But when things happen, they have been recorded in another time and space, and your today is still like this. But your today in another time and space has been changed." Shen Cao talked eloquently, " It's as if you post a file online, you post a post today, and tomorrow you modify it and post it on another forum. Then although the post in this forum is a foregone conclusion, the post in another forum is re-posted with a different look. Appeared. What happened has already happened, but what is changing is still changing. In other words, the history of this time and space is active rather than passive. Do you understand that?" "I seem to understand, but I don't seem to understand." I tossed my hair and returned to the starting point persistently, "Then can you help me meet Zhang Ailing?" This time, even Shen Cao couldn't help it, and laughed out loud with the boss and Ah Chen.
