Chapter 205 Time Flies

In the new year of Seoul, the entire peninsula is shrouded in fear of the virus.

The powerful epidemic disease is like the scythe of death, waving around the whole earth.

In the first two or three months of the year, the situation in the peninsula is particularly severe.

There are a large number of obsessive religious believers in the peninsula itself. No matter how dangerous the external conditions are, they are determined to participate in the rally, ignoring anyone's dissuasion.

The peninsula officials are obsessed with various internal struggles. Between power and human life, human life is not worth mentioning to them.

Official inaction, coupled with the ignorance of the public, has caused the number of patients on the peninsula to rise enormously every day, reaching a new peak of terror.

The entertainment industry, which was originally the foundation of the country, suffered a heavy blow during this period of time.

Various stages and performances have been cancelled, all idols are treated equally, and the itinerary has been greatly reduced.

The reduction in itinerary will naturally bring about a sharp drop in income figures.

Because of this, many groups of small and medium-sized entertainment companies suddenly fell into an embarrassing environment.

In March, a large number of small entertainment companies were forced to close down due to financial problems, and a large number of low-end idol groups disbanded and disappeared without a sound.

Among them, the few industries that have not been seriously affected include the Internet and computers.

Although employees of major companies are unable to work due to illness from time to time, the foundation of their work still relies on digital and electronic hardware, which will not be affected by illness.

However, due to the downturn of the overall environment, layoffs are also inevitable.

Naver, which has just moved to Jeongja-dong, recruited a new group of people at the end of the year.

As a result, by the end of March, the number of employees to be sent away was four times higher than the number of employees recruited before.

Quan Qingxi, who was in charge of administration, suddenly became the biggest villain in the company, and the employees who were fired from the company were all approved by his subordinates.

Even though he knew that Chen Gewei was not easy to mess with, Quan Qingxi still bit the bullet and approached him, and proposed to fire several old employees of Lianzhong.

Chen Gewei also had some understanding of the current environment, and there was nothing he could do. He, who had always pursued fairness and justice, still gave the names of several people according to his ability.

Under Chen Gewei's long-term training, Yin Xiangyu's working ability is already very strong, so it is impossible to have him.

Kim Jong-hoon, on the other hand, became the only stain in Chen Gewei's "fairness and justice", and he remained in the company safely.

Naver itself was led by Chen Gewei when the disease first appeared, and established strict safety inspection measures.

For this reason, the company specially adjusted two disinfection rooms in case of emergency.

Fortunately, under the awakening and abuse of the people across the country, coupled with official control, those ignorant religious believers gave up large-scale gatherings and began to save their own lives.

As for the other citizens of the peninsula, as early as the end of January, they gave up socializing in real life and minimized the number of times they went out.

The way of transmission has been greatly reduced, and the horror scene on the peninsula has gradually subsided.

The major hospitals that are always full and working overtime are finally ushering in a little respite.

But even if the situation improves, there are still people who can't hold back in some places, and they still have to gather on a large scale, resulting in another small-scale outbreak of the disease.

Chen Tianqiao had planned to come to the peninsula to look for his son in January, but after a phone call, he was stopped by Chen Gewei.

The situation on the peninsula was indeed dangerous, so Chen Tianqiao could only stay in France for two months, then returned to China to start the quarantine, and then returned to his hometown in China.

Middle-aged people are luckier. Even though they crossed two oceans by plane, they didn't get infected halfway, and the test was always negative.

And Chen Gewei seems to have inherited his father's luck, and has never been infected. He only coughed for two weeks in April, but he had no other serious symptoms.

In the first half of 2020, due to hardware problems, the development of artificial intelligence has fallen into a patterned work, and it is difficult to find new breakthroughs.

Therefore, Chen Gewei was temporarily transferred from the artificial intelligence development team to take charge of its software industry.

And during this period, some serious power struggles took place within Naver, just like the officials of the peninsula.

Two relatives of Speaker Lee Hae-jin were kicked out of the company's management, leaving only a small amount of Naver shares in their hands.

In addition, the people on the board of directors also changed by one-third, and several young and new faces appeared.

Originally, Chen Gewei would not participate in such an important personnel transfer meeting, but after Li Haizhen's two nephews were kicked out, he was inexplicably notified that he would participate in the election for the board of directors.

During the two days when the meeting was held, Chen Gewei had received some overtures from several electees, but he just silently collected all the information and threw it at Li Haizhen.

He was too lazy to take care of these things, and let the founder of Naver handle them himself.

At the final meeting, Chen Gewei selected the one with the most qualifications and achievements based on his resume.

After the results were counted, the one Chen Gewei voted for also successfully took the stage.

After the powerful struggle between the government and Naver came to an end, it was the turn of the citizens of the peninsula to start making noise.

All kinds of official policies were resisted by the people, making them ignore the environmental factors and staged a big demonstration again.

And a series of crazy behaviors by the neighbors in the north also made people panic on the peninsula.

The torrential rain and typhoon in June and July exacerbated this terrifying atmosphere. The southern part of the peninsula experienced more than 40 consecutive days of heavy rain, flooding most of the streets directly.

Naver's servers located in these areas were also damaged, and Chen Gewei, the vice president of technology, and Jin Shuzhen, the executive director, were transferred to take care of the aftermath.

In August and September after the rainstorm and floods stopped, the environment on the peninsula calmed down a little, and the forces of all parties calmed down.

The peninsula's entertainment industry also established a new work system at this time to cope with the special living environment.

And the important task of leading the revitalization of the economy falls on top big companies like Naver.

Just a month or two after the flood in the south damaged the server, another fire broke out in SK's computer room in Seoul.

The damage caused by the fire was not serious, and only a small number of servers were damaged, including Naver and Kakao, which have cooperation with SK.

However, Naver has a crisis transfer mechanism developed by Chen Gewei, and a large amount of data can be transferred in a timely manner. Therefore, several network services under Naver have only been down for a few hours before being restored.

As for Kakao, it was a bit miserable, and it was shut down for a week before it was completely repaired.

For the people of the peninsula where Kakao has entered thousands of households, this week is like returning to the primitive society.

For a while, the public began to criticize Kakao's work quality, while Naver was infinitely elevated in comparison.

For a time, Naver's reputation rose to the peak of the major companies on the peninsula.

And at this time, Chen Tianqiao got on the plane, took off and left Huaxia, and landed on the peninsula.
