July 15, 2026, eleven o'clock in the evening.
Lin Ye stared at the beating cursor on the computer screen and finished typing the last line of code on the keyboard.
The light tubes in the office made a faint electric sound, the air conditioner was turned on too high, and the air outlet of the air conditioner was blowing directly on the back of his neck. He was the only one left on the entire floor. Other colleagues clocked out as early as six o'clock.
"Lin Ye, this requirement must be online tomorrow morning."
Department head Zhou Hailin dropped this sentence before leaving get off work and didn't even look at him.
That's what interns are like.
Lin Ye picked up the cold coffee and took a sip. The bitter liquid stimulated his taste buds. Outside the window is the bright night view of the city. The view from the 37th floor is excellent. You can see the flowing car lights on the viaduct in the distance forming a river of light.
He is twenty-two years old and has just graduated from an ordinary second-level university. I submitted forty-seven resumes before I got an offer from this company. The probation period was three months and the salary was RMB 4,500.

Lin Ye rubbed his sore eyes and prepared to save the file and shut down the computer.
Just then——
The lights went out.
Instead of going out one by one, more than twenty fluorescent lamps in the entire office went out at the same time, and even the computer screen instantly went dark.
The emergency lights were not on.
The entire floor was plunged into absolute darkness.
Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat.
