Chapter 5 — The whole company flew to France, but I alone did not have a plane ticket

Is a PDF file. The file title was bolded with extremely prominent characters: 《Apology letter for the unfair treatment of engineer Hua An Nhien》 I didn't even need to open it. One can also imagine the humiliating words inside. And Chairman Co's distorted face when writing that letter. I looked at the PDF file lying quietly in the group chat. Like a memorial plaque. Remember all the humiliations I have endured over the past three years. I calmly picked up the phone. Speak softly to the person on the other end of the line:

“Now…”

“Please send the server's temporary highest administrator rights to my personal email.”

I looked up at the night outside the window. The corners of the lips curled slightly. Because I know. This game... It's just begun. After receiving the account and password with highest access rights, I did not use the laptop provided by the company. Because that machine is full of things that belong to the company. The “rules”. These “supervisors”. And invisible "chains". I walked into the office and opened my personal computer that had been covered in dust for a long time. It's a machine I assembled myself. From each hardware component to each line of operating system code. All are hand-selected and built by me. It's like my own private kingdom. Pure. And absolutely loyal. I proficiently typed down each command and connected to the company's remote server. Right in that moment. I can feel it clearly. On the other end of the server. There were dozens of eyes watching. Dozens of technical accounts are observing my every move through the behind-the-scenes monitoring system. Maybe they all want to check it out. This bookworm who was abandoned by the whole company... How great is his bravery? I didn't bother paying attention to those prying eyes. Also don't follow the normal debugging procedure. Do not view system logs. Do not analyze error reports. That's too slow. And also too boring. I directly entered the deepest core of the Sunset system. No one understands this issue better than me. That fatal mistake. It's not inherently an error. It's a logic trap that I buried right from the time I designed the system architecture. A long time ago, I warned Chu Nghi many times. When the system processes data with extremely large traffic. Absolutely do not ignore the warning and authentication mechanism I set up to save time. But Chu Nghi... A person who only half-understands technology but is extremely conceited. Because I want to create more beautiful performance indicators. Used a brute force patch to forcibly override my entire warning mechanism. He thought he had found a shortcut. But I don't know... I personally activated the time bomb that is powerful enough to destroy the entire system. But now. What I need to do. Simply detonate that bomb. My ten fingers quickly flew across the keyboard. Crisp knocking sounds rang out in the middle of the night. It's like a fast-paced piano piece being played in the dark. On screen. Streams of code flowed down like a waterfall. Restructuring. The whole process flows as smoothly as water flows. Less than ten minutes. Serious incident that left the entire technical team in France completely helpless... I solved it thoroughly. But before submitting the source code and rebooting the system. I stopped. Then do one thing. Something that could leave a stain on my professional record forever. But maybe... Make me a legend. I hover the mouse pointer above the code I just edited. Then type down a comment line. A comment line will forever exist in the version history of the Sunset system. No one can delete it. No one can edit. // Restored to the original version by Hua An Nhien. // This logic trap warning was sent on XXXX. // Forced to overwrite by Zhou Yi on XXXX // in pursuit of a meaningless performance index. // Cause of the problem: // Ignorance and arrogance. That caption is like a sharp blade. Engrave Zhou Yi's incompetence and stupidity into the foundation of the digital castle I built myself. It will become an indelible mark of humiliation. So that any engineer who takes over the system in the future can see it. That the former Technical Director who once called rain and wind... was actually just a cowardly thief. And a foolish dare-devil. After completing all. I calmly pressed the button:

“Submit changes and reboot the system.”

A few dozen seconds later. Tham Nguyet's message popped up. 【Recovered!!!】 【An Nhien! The system is working again!!!】 【You're so cool!!!!】 I looked at the string of exclamation marks scattered on the screen. There is no feeling of joy in my heart.
