Chapter 186 A God-Given Opportunity

Finance Office on the 12th floor of the Edge Building.

Since KK followed Su Mo, he has been learning about finance, administration, and human resources management in order to be a good logistics steward.

But this knowledge is very profound. How many college students study hard in the ivory tower and only learn a little bit. When they enter the society, they still have to be beaten by reality.

KK has only been learning for more than a month, and his brain is already fuming. He is not even getting started.

At this time, he was sitting in front of the computer, scratching his head at the table filled with numbers.

A financial officer came over, looking a little embarrassed: "KK, there is still something wrong with what I gave you yesterday. You made it wrong."

KK was stunned: "Ah, are you talking about that balance sheet? I...I calculated it based on a formula."

The finance manager opened the balance sheet file on KK's computer and clicked on it with the mouse: "The formula was correct at the beginning. But you can't pull data from tables like this directly. You have to set the format first, otherwise the numbers you pull down will be all It's wrong."

KK was a little panicked: "Is nothing wrong?"

The finance manager sighed: "We found problems during the review here and corrected them in time. Otherwise, the company may have lost millions."

KK lowered his head, looking very annoyed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Why can't I always do anything well?"

If you want to be an ordinary apprentice, the finance manager will definitely give him a scolding.

But KK is one of the top three start-up veterans in the margins, and with all his qualifications, Finance can only patiently comfort him: "It's okay, don't worry, it may be too early for you to practice, you should continue to consolidate the basic knowledge first. "

"Okay" KK had just made a mistake, he had no heart, he just hung his head and allowed himself to be arranged.

From studying materials to getting off work, I can't say that I have made much progress in one day.

After the finance manager left, KK stayed up until midnight reading alone. All the formulas and cases made him dizzy and he couldn't learn anymore.

He had some late-night snacks and went to the video game room on the 80th floor to relax.

But when he thought about the disaster that had almost occurred during the day and the slow progress in his studies, he felt very anxious and couldn't even play games with peace of mind.

He just sat on the sofa with his head in his hands, falling into a serious mental state of internal conflict.

At this time, KK felt someone sitting next to him.

The voice from the future came: "What's wrong? You look troubled."

KK looked over blankly: "Oh, it's not a hallucination, is it? I actually saw you in the video game room."

Future yawned: "I'm waiting for the computer to calculate the data. I have nothing to do, so I just come up and wander around. What about you? What are you worrying about here? Is the game stuck?"

KK sighed softly and asked quietly: "In the future, do you think I should still stay on the edge?"

Future was puzzled: "Huh? What do you mean, I don't understand."

KK looked at the ceiling in a daze and muttered: "I have been feeling lately that everyone around me is too good, but I am incompatible with the current fringe."

"So when I came back from the last mercenary summit, I was thinking about a question. Since I can't keep up with you, should I be more dignified, quit on my own initiative, and stop staying here."

The video game room was silent late at night, except for the cold sound of the wind blowing on the glass outside the window.

Future looked at KK, and KK looked at the ceiling, both of them were silent.

Suddenly, KK's vision went dark, and something furry flew to his face.

He hurriedly grabbed it and found it was a fat rat, squeaking at him.

He asked in a bad temper: "Why did you throw the mouse in my face?!"

Future picked up Shushu, put it in his pocket, and said lazily: "Let you wake up."

KK said inexplicably: "I'm very awake."

"You are considering quitting the edge. Is this called sobriety? I think you are crazy." Future opened his arms as if to embrace the entire video game room, "Take a good look around you!"

"In such a big house, you can eat, drink and live for free every day. You can have whatever you want. The mercenaries outside are trying hard to join the fringe. How hard are they to quit?"

"And as far as I know, you should be the most relaxed person in the entire Edge. You don't need to execute the commission. The logistics department also has sufficient manpower. You don't have any hard work. You can work if you want to. If you don't want to work, you can play games every day. "

"I really don't understand, how can you get into anxiety?"

KK looked gloomy and lowered his eyes as he said, "It's because I feel too comfortable that I feel anxious. Because I enjoy this comfort but don't make any contribution to it."

"Take the three of us who were the first to follow Big Brother as an example. You are so awesome. You are the chief hardware engineer of Edge. Whether it is prosthetic implantation, blood code compilation, or other hardware application-oriented things, you can do it all. A proper facade for edge technology.”

"The same goes for Dongdong. Although she doesn't know the skills, she is a very good fighter. She has fought side by side with her big brother more than once. Her physical strength is one of the best in the entire Fringe. She is the absolute main fighting force. Many people consider her to be the "second boss" of the Fringe. "

Speaking of this, KK showed a self-deprecating look: "What about me? What do I have? At the beginning, I could barely help my elder brother with my skills."

"But now that there are more and more talents in the margins, my three-legged cat skills can't play any role, and it even always helps."

"I almost messed up my financial affairs in the afternoon, but luckily I had someone to help wipe my ass. A few days ago, at the mercenary summit, I was also treated as a soft persimmon, which caused a fight between my eldest brother and Ou Chenyu, and Zhou Hannian showed off."

Future shrugged: "But the boss doesn't care. He has never regarded you as a burden, so why do you put pressure on yourself?"

KK hugged his legs, buried his head between his knees, and whispered: "You are right, eldest brother does not dislike me. But I think people should be a little self-aware."

"I am very grateful to my eldest brother for pulling me out of the quagmire at the border. I also regard him as a benefactor. Since I am a benefactor, I should find a way to repay him."

"But the current situation is that not only can I not repay him, but I also eat and use him every day, like a parasite."

His eyes became blurred and he murmured in a low voice: "So I think, since I can't provide value, the only way to repay is to leave voluntarily. In this way, the eldest brother will not be dragged down by me in anything."

"Beep - beep -" At this time, the alarm clock on Future's mobile phone rang.

She shook her head and said, "Ah, it's time, the data is almost running."

KK nodded: "Well, go ahead and don't delay doing the experiment."

Mirai walked to the door and stopped there.

"KK." came her voice.

"Huh?" KK looked over.

Future turned his head with a gentle smile on his face: "I think so, if you really feel entangled, why don't you go talk to the boss?"

"Believe me, the most important thing between people is communication. If my experimental assistant feels that there is something wrong and doesn't communicate with me, I will definitely be angry to death."

"So, don't fight alone, go to the boss, tell him what's on your mind, and have a good talk with him."

"The four of us are companions who have endured hardships together. Companions cannot be measured by the word 'value'."

After finishing speaking in the future, he left quietly.

KK sat there blankly, his eyes blank.

I don’t know how long it took, but the blank eyes regained their light.

Cao Yulin has been in a good mood these days.

Everything was going as he expected.

As a spy, the most basic principle is "not to be conspicuous".

Spies must not be noticed within hostile organizations, otherwise the more attention they receive, the more difficult they will be to move forward.

The spy must lurk in the darkness, like a false shadow that no one cares about, but it is real.

He was perfect at that.

There are more than thirty mercenaries who have recently joined him and joined Fringe. All of them have completed one or several rounds of commissions, and many of them have shined with their strength.

And he is like a master of balance, neither strong nor regarded as a waste.

If you perform too well, you will deliberately let yourself go and make mistakes. If you perform poorly, you will use your strength to improve your results. You will always be in the middle of these people, highlighting the mediocrity.

Of course, spies pretend to be mediocre, but they can't really be mediocre anymore.

A spy should be like a venomous snake, lurking quietly in the darkness. Once the prey has a flaw, it will immediately launch a surprise attack.

The ability to seize fleeting opportunities is the criterion for judging whether a spy is excellent.

During this period, in addition to pretending to carry out the commission, Cao Yulin was secretly collecting intelligence inside the edge.

There are currently 203 people in the entire Edge, ranging from team leader Su Mo to administrative assistants. Cao Xilin has memorized basic information about everyone, their interpersonal relationships, etc.

As for the structure of the Edge Building, except for the laboratory restricted area located underground and the dedicated floors above the 81st floor, he has explored all the facilities on the 1st to 80th floors and knows them well.

The next thing to do is to wait for an opportunity.

At that time, he will create a gap from within, cooperate with Ou Chenyu inside and outside, and completely destroy Su Mo, this rising star!

One day, Cao Yulin came back from completing the commission and was ready to make the final handover.

As soon as he arrived on the 12th floor, he heard a quarrel coming from the small conference room.

"You've done this to me again, what are you doing? How many times has it been?!"

This was Su Mo's angry voice.

Another aggrieved voice sounded: "This thing is already difficult to handle. I have apologized and accepted the punishment. What else do you want from me?"

This is clearly KK.

Cao Yulin thought to himself: Hey, what's new, why are these two people quarreling?

He hid in the corner and listened carefully to what was going on in the office.

The quarrel between the two continued.

Su Mo: "You are still not convinced? What are you not convinced of? You can make mistakes in the simplest data entry. Does this require any professional knowledge? What is the difficulty? Isn't it just a matter of having eyes and hands?!"

KK: "It's not that simple. There are hundreds of lines of data to be entered on a piece of paper. If you accidentally read it, it will be misplaced. I am not a machine."

Su Mo: "Don't make excuses! No other financial mistakes will be made. It's just you who made the mistake. Is this a professional issue? This is an attitude issue!"

KK: "What's wrong with my attitude? I'm studying very seriously! I've never been exposed to these things before. If I don't make a mistake once, who can do that?"

Su Mo: "Let me ask you! Who took the initiative to ask for this job? Is it you? You said you didn't want to do odd jobs and wanted to learn some skills. Okay, then I'll let the finance teacher teach you, but have you learned it well?!"

"The finance department told me that you had a decent attitude at first, but then you were late every morning because you slept in, left early before it was time to get off work, and went to the video game room to play games until midnight."

"It's not that I won't let you play. The premise is that you do your job well. If you put your energy into work, will such a low-level mistake happen?!"

"This time I will only fine you one month's salary. If you make such a low-level mistake next time, you should go back to the logistics department immediately and don't rely on the finance department."

Heavy footsteps came from the office.

Cao Yulin looked from the darkness.

KK walked out of the small conference room, his fists clenched, his face flushed with anger, and he left angrily.

Cao Yulin rolled his eyes and went to the finance room from another direction.

"Excuse me." He smiled and bowed to the financers after entering.

The finance manager didn't think of his name for a moment: "Who are you?"

Cao Yulin smiled and said, "Cao Yulin, just call me Xiao Cao."

The finance manager patted his head: "Oh, what's wrong?"

Cao Yulin handed over the invoice in his pocket with both hands: "I had a commission from a different place a few days ago, and the invoices for the travel expenses are all here."

The finance officer nodded: "Oh, okay, just let me go. I'll reimburse you after the money is paid into the account."

"Trouble." Cao Yulin nodded to express his thanks, then coughed slightly and asked curiously, "Hey, what happened to Mr. K and the group leader? I just passed by the small conference room and I heard the two of them quarreling."

The financers looked at me and I looked at you, with some scruples in their eyes, and they all shook their heads at Cao Yulin: "We don't know much about this."

Cao Yulin thought to himself: Well, it's normal for the finance department to be unwilling to say anything. I'm a newcomer, and it's impossible for them to speak ill of the elders in front of newcomers.

"Haha, it's okay, it's probably just some trivial matters. I'll take my leave first." Cao Yulin said goodbye to the finance staff and turned to leave.

Before going out, he quietly touched the potted plant by the door.

A tiny bug was left on the leaf without anyone noticing.

After he left, he put on the eavesdropping headphones and listened to what was going on inside.

"Boom." Not long after, the door closed.

Without outsiders, people in the finance office also began to complain internally. You said something to me:

"The leader and KK had a quarrel? Lao Lin, did you file a complaint?"

"Well, I really can't stand it anymore. If I don't report to the leader, I will be dragged to death."

"Why, KK is difficult to lead?"

"It's not a difficult problem anymore, it's simply a disaster, okay? Yesterday, he put an extra zero on a remittance order, turning 120,000 into 1.2 million. He almost remitted it. Fortunately, I found it in time. .”

"I'm going! That's outrageous. The leader is going to be furious if he doesn't."

"I can't help them, I really can't help them. It's not that I'm discriminating. The people in the border areas are really poorly educated and can't learn these things."

"Keep your voice down. The leader is also from the border area. Don't let him hear you firing the map cannon."

"Do you know what's the most outrageous thing? At KK's level of shit, his salary is higher than mine. Can you believe it?"

"It's so funny. Who can let someone be a veteran? Having seniority means having confidence."

"Yeah, I arrive late and leave early every day, and I'm protected when I make mistakes. Outsiders like us can't envy you. As long as the veteran is awesome, that's it."

Listening to the complaints in the finance room, Cao Xilin had a sneer on his face.

The situation before and after can be matched without any mistakes.

The opportunity he had been waiting for finally appeared.

There is a crack inside the edge.

Although the rift was small, it was just a dispute over trivial matters at work.

But no matter how small the crack is, it still exists. With a little work, it can gradually expand.

The most important thing is that the object of this crack is perfect.

According to his personality analysis, if Dongdong and Su Mo had a quarrel, it would probably be fine the same day after the quarrel.

Because Dongdong is a typical impatient and short-tempered person, quarrels are often just short-term emotional ups and downs.

She will point at your nose and scold you during the day, but at night she can continue to talk and laugh with you.

But KK is different.

After this period of intelligence collection and analysis, he has figured out KK's personality. He is a young man with low self-esteem and a sensitive heart.

Because he came from a poor background and had many strong people around him, KK always wanted to prove his worth, so he took the initiative to be transferred from a handyman's logistics position to learn profound financial management knowledge.

But the problem is that KK has the ambition to not be inferior to others, but he does not have the ability to match it.

This guy is essentially a petty thief, the kind who doesn't even have enough to eat in the border areas. He has no merit except for stealing things. To put it bluntly, he is a waste.

The mismatch between temperament and ability, coupled with the sensitivity and low self-esteem caused by birth, this kind of person is like an unstable powder keg, and his temperament will change drastically as long as he is ignited.

The most exciting thing is that this kind of person is actually one of the three founders on the fringes, holding a lot of secrets about Su Mo.

Apart from "a God-given opportunity," Cao Yulin could not find any other words to describe this situation.

So, let’s get started!
