Chapter 242 New Year and New Look

Qin Shaoyan tried to call Zhang Pingyi several times again, but still couldn't get through.

He hesitated for a moment, then decisively picked up his coat and hurried out, "Mom, you guys eat first, I have something to do at the company."

Xun Xiaohui came out of the kitchen and looked at Qin Shaoyan in surprise, "What's the hurry? Finish your dumplings first."

Qin Donghai was also shocked. "What happened? You can't even take care of your meal?"

"It's too late." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "You guys take a rest after you finish eating. Put the dumplings in the refrigerator. I'll cook them when I get back."

"Oh, hey, hey." Before Xun Xiaohui could react, Qin Shaoyan pushed open the door and walked out.

Qin Shaoyan went downstairs quickly, drove the Wuling Hongguang and rushed to the company.

Fortunately, the company is not far from the rented house, and it only takes two or three minutes to drive there.

Qin Shaoyan parked his car downstairs and rushed to the company in two steps.

At this time, the company was in chaos. Several programmers on duty gathered together, discussing technical solutions.

Several people were arguing loudly about something while talking on the phone.

Qin Shaoyan came over and took a few glances but couldn't understand what they were discussing.

Soon the employee noticed Qin Shaoyan's appearance and stood up in panic, "Boss Qin."

"Boss Qin, why are you here?!"

"You guys go about your business, I'm just here to take a look." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I won't disturb you from working, just tell me if you need anything."

The employees agreed and continued with the work at hand.

The situation on site looked very bad. Several programmers were sweating profusely as they gathered together to discuss the server bug with serious faces.

The employees who were unable to help continued to make phone calls and asked people to join them on QQ.

The employees who were able to go online quickly started discussing the issue in the QQ group. It seemed that the debate was very intense, and messages were refreshed very quickly, with dozens of messages appearing every second.

After about ten minutes, a programmer walked up to Qin Shaoyan with a nervous look on his face, "Boss Qin."

"What's wrong?" Qin Shaoyan said kindly, "Just tell me what you want to say."

"Can we contact Master Zhang?" the programmer said impatiently. "We need to ask him about the server problem now. I'm afraid we can't handle it alone."

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Try it yourself first, don't be impatient."

"I'll continue to call Master Zhang to see if I can contact him."

There was an uproar among the people present, and some of them started whispering.

After all, the company had emphasized before the holiday that everyone should keep their cell phones turned on 24 hours a day so that they could contact us in time if there were any problems.

Now there is an emergency, many people have been contacted, but the most important CTO cannot be found.

At this moment, a man suddenly rushed into the company and walked towards everyone quickly.

When everyone looked carefully, they found out it was the CTO of the game company, Fan Xiaoqian. Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Fan Xiaoqian walked to the computer, glanced at the screen for a few seconds, then turned and walked to Qin Shaoyan, sighing, "Where's Master Zhang? Let's find him and solve it."

"The call can't be reached." Qin Shaoyan shook his head.

Fan Xiaoqian frowned, "Why can't I get through? Didn't they say that I should keep my phone on 24 hours a day?"

"Master Zhang's hometown is in the mountains, and the signal is not good." Qin Shaoyan sighed.

He was also anxious just now, and it took him a long time to remember that Zhang Pingyi's hometown was too remote and the infrastructure was poor, so it would be strange to be able to contact him.

"What should we do then?" Fan Xiaoqian hesitated.

"Don't worry yet." Qin Shaoyan said calmly, "Teacher Fan, why are you here? Didn't you go back to Tianjin Port for the New Year?"

"Ah, isn't this all your fault?" Fan Xiaoqian rolled her eyes. "You bought me a house in Beijing. When my parents heard about it, they were so happy that they moved directly to the new house to celebrate the New Year."

"I saw that the QQ group was buzzing, so I came to check it out." Fan Xiaoqian complained, "I just ate two dumplings."

"At least you ate two. My dumplings were just put into the pot and I haven't eaten them yet." Qin Shaoyan also smiled.

Fan Xiaoqian frowned, "Should we call Chen Guangxia and ask him to solve it?"

"He went back to his hometown." Qin Shaoyan said lightly.

"It won't affect me if I go back home. As long as I have internet access, I can connect to the server remotely." Fan Xiaoqian said, "Just give him login permission."

Qin Shaoyan glanced at Fan Xiaoqian and said, "Teacher Fan, you can receive news while you are eating. Doesn't Chen Guangxia know about it?"

There are many alumni and junior students of Chen Guangxia on the campus network. Qin Shaoyan doesn’t believe that no one in the company has tipped him off. It is very likely that Chen Guangxia received the news first.

But Chen Guangxia has remained silent until now and has not taken the initiative to contact us.

At this time, the discussion among the employees gradually increased, and soon someone suggested: "Let's ask Brother Chen to take action."

"Senior Brother Chen is not in the capital."

"Let him find an Internet cafe that can remotely connect to the server and ask Boss Qin to give him login permissions."

"You are an idiot. There are so many viruses in Internet cafes. How can you use a machine in an Internet cafe to connect to the server?"

"Didn't Senior Brother Chen bring a laptop? He has broadband installed at home, right?"

"There should be one. Stop wasting time and think of a solution. If you hadn't wasted your time arguing, the problem would have been solved long ago."

"Brother Chen has been maintaining the server for the past six months. He should be more familiar with it."

At this moment, the employees looked at Qin Shaoyan intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning was very clear.

Whether to ask Chen Guangxia to take action depends on what President Qin says.

Many people in the QQ group also agreed and suggested calling Chen Guangxia.

After all, Chen Guangxia was the one who maintained the campus network server most of the time, and many programmers had only worked with Chen Guangxia and were more convinced of his technical abilities.

However, none of the employees on site dared to make direct suggestions to Qin Shaoyan because they knew that Chen Guangxia might have fallen out of favor.

The company has been undergoing a month of rectification, and everyone is aware of what has happened. There has been a lot of discussion about the company's leadership.

In this situation, no one present dared to speak.

However, Qin Shaoyan was very calm, as if he was sitting on a stable platform.

The cell phone rang. Qin Shaoyan glanced and found that it was Chen Guangxia. He answered it directly, "Happy New Year, Senior Brother Chen."

"Boss Qin." Chen Guangxia said nervously, "I saw in the group that there was a problem with the campus network server. How about letting me try? I was the one who maintained the server before, so I'm familiar with the situation."

"No need for now." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Let the subordinates handle this matter. They can't be unable to do their work without you."

"Well." Chen Guangxia said quickly, "Boss Qin is very thoughtful. Call me anytime if you need my assistance."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, for disturbing you during the New Year's Eve dinner." Qin Shaoyan consoled him, "Eat first, I'll call you if there's anything."

"Okay, okay." Chen Guangxia agreed several times before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Fan Xiaoqian glanced at Qin Shaoyan and said, "Why don't you let me try?" "No hurry." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand.

Fan Xiaoqian felt a little strange. How could Qin Shaoyan still sit still at this time?

It was almost half past twelve, and there was still no clue to the solution to the server bug. The programmer on duty was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

After all, the boss was sitting right next to them supervising the battle personally, and they were unable to solve the problem, so the pressure was extremely high.

At this time, the cell phone rang again, and Qin Shaoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the name on the caller ID.

"Hello... Hello! Hello!" Zhang Pingyi's voice was sometimes clear and sometimes fuzzy, and he seemed to be a little out of breath. "Can you hear me? Hello... Fuck!"

"I can hear it." Qin Shaoyan laughed, "Master Zhang, your signal isn't very good."

"There is no signal in our village!" Zhang Pingyi said indignantly, "I climbed several hills before I found some signal."

"How is it? Is there any problem with the website server?"

"Huh?!" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "How do you know there's a problem with the server?"

"Fuck!" Zhang Pingyi was speechless. "Whatever I feared came true. I was afraid that the server would have problems at 12 o'clock. I came out to look for a signal without even having dinner."

"Quick, tell me what the problem is?"

"Don't worry, I'll turn on the speaker." Qin Shaoyan walked to the maintenance programmer's station, put his phone there and turned on the speaker, "I'll let them talk to you."

Zhang Pingyi's unstable voice came from the phone, "Tell me the question orally."

The programmer on duty hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

Fan Xiaoqian pushed the programmer away impatiently and said, "Let me do it. Hey, Master Zhang, let me tell you what the problem is."

The next scene stunned almost everyone present, witnessing the wonderful cooperation between Fan Xiaoqian and Zhang Pingyi.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Zhang Pingyi relied on his mobile phone with poor signal to run around the hilltop looking for a signal, while he dictated codes to Fan Xiaoqian to input.

After modifying and uploading the code twice, the BUG was fixed after the server was restarted, and the background no longer reported an error.

Qin Shaoyan found a computer, logged into the campus website and checked it. He felt relieved and the webpage returned to normal.

The programmers present were stunned. After a long while, they finally said, "Fuck, this is actually possible?"

"Do you think Zhang Tianshi is joking?" another person said disdainfully, "The earliest version of the campus network was written by one person."

"Hiss, the CTO of my university's campus network is so scary."

"Look, Teacher Fan is not bad. He has never touched anything on our campus network, but he can understand the code written by others so quickly."

"Our company is really full of experts."

Qin Shaoyan smiled at their discussion and said loudly, "The problem has been solved. I guess everyone hasn't eaten yet. There are still frozen dumplings in the company's refrigerator. I'll go cook some for everyone."

Before he finished speaking, everyone cheered and two smart people ran over to help.

I took out a few packs of dumplings from the refrigerator, waited for the water in the pot to boil on the induction cooker, and then poured all the dumplings in.

Soon the dumplings rolled and floated up, and everyone gathered together and scooped them out with their lunch boxes. There was no soy sauce, vinegar, or mashed garlic, but the group of people happily started eating.

After eating a few bites of dumplings, Qin Shaoyan chatted with the employees for a while, then left the company with Fan Xiaoqian.

When he got home, Qin Shaoyan opened the door and saw Qin Donghai and Xun Xiaohui were still awake, sitting on the sofa and chatting.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I'm waiting for you to come back." Qin Donghai yawned, "Why, have you finished dealing with the company's affairs?"

Qin Shaoyan nodded awkwardly, "I'm lucky today. You guys should go to bed. It's almost half past one."

"I'll cook you some dumplings before you go to sleep." Xun Xiaohui stood up from the sofa and went to the kitchen to light the fire again.

Qin Shaoyan didn't say much. He sat quietly beside the dining table, waiting for the steaming dumplings to be served and then started eating happily.

Today’s server accident did make Qin Shaoyan unhappy at first, but later Zhang Tianshi’s miraculous operation turned the tide and made him happy again.

Zhang Tianshi's move shocked all the newcomers to the campus network, and things became much easier in the future.

……

The next morning, Qin Shaoyan was still asleep when he was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He squinted his eyes, fumbled to pick up the phone, and answered the call.

"Hello, who is it?"

"I heard that there was a problem with the campus network last night." Xiong Xiaoge's voice came from the phone.

"Huh?" Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised. "Boss Xiong, I thought you blocked me?"

"I'm asking you if there was a problem with the campus network last night?" Xiong Xiaoge said impatiently, "Don't interrupt me."

"There was a minor problem with the server, but it was quickly resolved." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "It's rare that Mr. Xiong personally called to inquire about it during the Chinese New Year."

"I am also a shareholder of Campus Network after all." Xiong Xiaoge said unhappily, "Can't I ask about the Campus Network if something goes wrong?"

"Of course you can ask." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Welcome Mr. Xiong to pay more attention to the investment projects. I remember that you also invested in a website called Kuaibo.com. You..."

"Beep, beep, beep..." Qin Shaoyan was surprised to find that Xiong Xiaoge hung up the phone directly.

Qin Shaoyan called back directly, but the other party rejected the call.

"This Xiong Xiaoge is really narrow-minded." Qin Shaoyan complained, "I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

When the other party refused to answer the call again, Qin Shaoyan became unhappy immediately. If I can't sleep well on New Year's Day, then don't blame me for causing trouble for you, Mr. Xiong.

Qin Shaoyan flipped through his phone's address book, found Zheng Nan from Sequoia and called him.

"Mr. Zheng, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Mr. Qin." Zheng Nan agreed without thinking, and felt a little strange. "Mr. Qin, you got up quite early."

"Not too early, not too early." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Boss Xiong called me just now and woke me up. I thought since I was already up, I'd like to wish Boss Zheng a happy new year and talk about something."

"Please speak, Mr. Qin."

Qin Shaoyan hesitated for two seconds, "Someone wanted to acquire YouTube a while ago, but I think the offer was a bit low."

"I think it would be better to sell Qvod to YouTube. This is a win-win choice. YouTube can improve its own valuation, and Qvod can cash out a large sum of money by selling it."

Zheng Nan was speechless. What did the increase in YouTube's valuation have to do with him?

As for the cash he could get from selling Qvod...he doesn't need that much money.

"Boss Qin, selling Qvod is only good for you." Zheng Nan said unhappily, "We at Sequoia don't need this money. Why should we sell Qvod when it's doing well?"

"Mr. Zheng, what you said is wrong." Qin Shaoyan retorted, "What do you mean by selling Qvod.com is only beneficial to me? I am obviously considering the investors."

"I realized the valuation, and Sequoia is also a shareholder of YouTube."

"That's an American redwood. What does it have to do with us?" Zheng Nan said impatiently, "Boss Qin, there's no need to discuss this matter. My opinion is that Qvod cannot be sold."
