Becoming a Confidence Coach to an Arrogant Director - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: A Special Authorization Method

Gu Jin glared at the guy and spoke in a cold, detached voice.

“Are you all done with your tasks?”

The guys skulked back to their desks.

Li Orange trembled when asked.

“I… I still have a few interfaces left. I haven’t, haven’t integrated them yet…”

“I’ll send the subsequent IP and port info to the group. Anyone missing interfaces, you’ll integrate with me.”

Gu Jin turned and went to her office after saying that. Li Orange finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His desk mate, Gua Ge, saw Gu Jin leave, secretly glanced at the defeated Li Orange, and gave him a look that said, “You deserve it for showing off.”

Li Orange mock-kicked in his direction, then gave Yuan Yishan a cheeky, shameless smile.

“I’ll teach you how to code in a few days!”

After that, he didn’t dare to waste any more time. He obediently went back to his seat, opened the editor, and started coding.

…

Gu Jin spent the entire morning integrating with all the front-end developers by herself.

She stared at the computer for so long and was so focused that her migraine flared up, becoming particularly severe around noon.

Yuan, the mood booster, had ordered takeout for everyone. She took one of the meals and headed to the director’s office. She could hear the person inside coughing from a long way down the hall.

She politely knocked on the door and entered without waiting for a response.

Gu Jin’s headache was so bad that she was hunched over the trash can, heaving as if her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were about to jump out.

Seeing this, Yuan Yishan put the takeout on the desk and went to help her up.

“How are you? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

Gu Jin’s eyes, momentarily focused, were filled with stubbornness. She used her strength to push Yuan Yishan away.

“I don’t need your pity. Get out!”

Yuan Yishan, who was pushed away, no longer cared about points. She reached out to support Gu Jin again. The “Sister Shan” attitude in her bones made her start to curse.

“How can a woman in this world be as stubborn as a donkey!”

Gu Jin was too sick to speak.

After a long stalemate, she finally regained a little strength, pushed away the person supporting her again, and walked straight back to her computer.

“Sister, can’t you rest for a bit? You could die from overworking! Don’t you know that?”

Gu Jin ignored her and started typing code again.

At this moment, the annoying system popped up to cause trouble again.

Host, your behavior just now was inappropriate.

“Inappropriate, my ass. The person is like this, and you think it’s appropriate to let her destroy herself endlessly?”

System: …

Gu Jin’s head was heavy, and her eyes were so unfocused that she couldn’t see the colorful code segments on the monitor. Yet, she refused to give up, as if she were competing against herself.

Yuan Yishan endured for half a second. She took the cup from the table, filled it halfway with warm water from the dispenser, and tried to make her voice as gentle as possible.

“Drink a little, and rest!”

The woman pretended not to hear.

Yuan Yishan tried to persuade her again.

“Putting this kind of pressure on yourself won’t solve any problems!”

Gu Jin just treated her words like hot air, and the clatter of her keyboard started again.

Earlier in the morning, Pei He had called her into his office and asked her to talk to Liao Shu and his group. He said they couldn’t afford to lose their key players at such a critical moment for Double Eleven, but she coldly refused.

She didn’t believe there was anything wrong with being strict at work.

After Pei He’s repeated attempts at persuasion failed, he finally lost his temper with his senior sister, and the two had a very unpleasant argument.

Before leaving, Director Gu had declared that she would handle all the front-end work by herself and ensure that it wouldn’t affect the platform’s sales. This was why she was so exhausted but was still hanging on, desperately clinging to this last bit of strength.

When it came to stubbornness, if she was second in the entire company, no one would dare to claim first place.

The “Sister Shan” in real life was both cool and sassy, and when her temper flared up, she was no better than Director Gu.

She hated to see women do this to themselves.

Back at that small, broken company, she had also been ruthless with herself.

At that time, she had been in the workplace for less than two years. A core case for a project was originally hers, but the company’s vice president, because she was a woman, ultimately gave the project responsibility to a newly hired technical manager.

That guy hadn’t even familiarized himself with the company environment before he started giving blind commands. In the end, a 3.8 billion project was abandoned in his hands, and the entire project team was in jeopardy.

To prove that she was no weaker than a man, Yuan Yishan, in the week before everyone was about to leave, led a group of programmers who didn’t want to be unemployed, and worked all night for a whole week. With their combined efforts, the 3.8 billion-dollar order was brought back from the brink of death.

But because of her overwork, she had to lie in the hospital for more than half a month. In the end, she didn’t get any benefits. Her salary was deducted as usual. She quit in a fit of rage and went to Zhongxun Group, one of the top three internet giants in the country, where she started a semi-retirement lifestyle.

So, Yuan Yishan was truly heartbroken to see a woman not taking care of her body.

…

She forcibly stopped Director Gu’s keyboard and pushed her onto the reclining chair.

She gently lifted her chin with one hand and took the cup from the table with the other, pouring the water into her mouth.

Gu Jin choked and coughed nonstop. After a long while, she finally met the eyes of the person in front of her, full of anger.

“What exactly do you want to do?”

Yuan Yishan reined in her emotions, reached out to help the person onto the sofa, and her voice was comforting.

“You can’t handle this much. Just rest a little, and listen to me!”

Director Gu was unyielding, challenging her with her eyes. Yuan Yishan lost her patience and brought her to the sofa.

“You rest, and I’ll help you code! Okay?”

At this moment, the annoying system couldn’t stand it anymore and kindly reminded her again.

Host, unauthorized manipulation of another’s code is a violation. You will receive a corresponding penalty.

Perhaps because it was intimidated by Sister Shan, the system, knowing its place, added a supplement.

However, the host can find a way to get the user’s authorization.

“How?”

This is neither easy nor difficult to get.

Yuan Yishan’s consciousness signaled for it to continue.

The system guided her step-by-step.

Host, do you remember the position you were in when you first bound with the user?

Yuan Yishan: ?

The position she was in when she bound with the user… wasn’t that…

Yes, Host! All you need to do is follow the previous procedure and touch again.

After saying this, the system, afraid of being scolded, immediately disappeared.

Yuan Yishan’s feelings were complex. She glanced at Director Gu, who was on the sofa.

The woman’s face looked terrible, like she had eaten something foul, but she was clearly out of strength. If she was allowed to continue coding, she would die from overworking in less than ten minutes.

Yuan Yishan steeled herself. She grabbed the person on the sofa, puffed out her chest, and pressed up against her.

Gu Jin: ?!

Beep, user has been authorized. Host can perform all operations on the code on the user’s computer for a short period of time.

…

Yuan Yishan sat down and typed on the keyboard at a furious pace. She familiarized herself with the code in the editor while outputting quickly.

As a core robot and a senior programmer, she could read and understand all the code with just a glance. Modifying it was a matter of seconds, without any effort.

Director Gu was stunned as she watched the person’s long fingers fly across the keyboard. She couldn’t believe that a living person was sitting in front of the computer.

In three to five minutes, Yuan Yishan finished what would take a normal person three to five days. She stretched her finger joints and pretended to be tired, stretching languidly. She put her feet on the ground and spun the chair 180 degrees.

“Ah, finally done. I’m exhausted!”

This was her daily routine in her real life. After doing something groundbreaking, she would always act annoyingly cute with the guys in the R&D department.

It really was a programmer’s life. After not coding for two or three days, her hands were getting a little itchy. Now that she had her fix, she felt much better.

After Gu Jin’s attention was diverted, her headache wasn’t as severe. She could at least maintain some focus.

She looked directly into Yuan Yishan’s eyes and asked again.

“Who exactly are you?”

Sister Shan’s temper, which came and went inexplicably, was now gone. The coding session had gotten rid of all her bad moods.

Since her identity probably couldn’t be hidden now, she simply answered with a joke.

“A core robot!”

Seeing this person, who looked like a cute girl, do something so incredible and now acting so carefree, Director Gu became even more suspicious. But since the other person was clearly giving a fake excuse, she didn’t want to pry too much.

She lowered her long eyelashes, like butterfly wings, and looked away. A hint of aloof pride appeared on her weak, cold face, as if to say, “I don’t want to talk to you.”

Yuan Yishan laughed. She thought this person was quite cute in this moment.

“It’s true! You still don’t believe me!”

Director Gu ignored her and lowered her eyes in deep thought.

Just then, Yuan Yishan’s work phone received a voice call on WeChat.

She picked up her phone, looked at the caller’s name, turned around, and went outside, closing the door behind her before answering the call.
