Film and Television: My Cheat Code is AI

In a villa area in Dongcheng District.

A man sat there, a Havana cigar between his right fingers and a glass of whiskey in his left. To his left stood a respectful man. "Mr. Gao, the talent you've been looking for has arrived."

"General Manager Gao" looked up, exhaling smoke from his mouth. "Who is it?"

The man said, "Introduced by Gu San'er, a talented person who just returned from abroad."

"Abroad?" 'General Manager Gao' asked. "Which school?"

The man shook his head and said, "Mr. Gao, I haven't asked about this yet. Would you like to meet him?"

"General Manager Gao" said, "Alright, let them come here."

"Yes."

……

the other side.

Zhang Yang sat in the passenger seat, while Gu San'er sat in the driver's seat, looking at Zhang Yang with a wry smile. "Brother, why are you here again?"

Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Gu San'er, you've gotten quite bold, daring to hang out with a bunch of counterfeiters."

Gu San'er said, "I'm just trying to make a living. Back when you were following Zhao Fei, I really thought you were ruthless. I never expected that Brother Jiang would introduce you today."

Zhang Yang said, "Let's not talk about those things anymore, it's all in the past. You remember what Jiang Han told you, right?"

Gu San'er nodded and said, "I remember everything. I'll go into hiding after this is over, and I promise I won't bother you."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "We know you're a big shot in the underworld, so we won't make things difficult for you. You'll spend seven days in the detention center in three days, with good food, drink, and sleep. However, it won't be in this city, but in Hebei Province. It just so happens that Captain Jiang also wants to see you."

"Okay, as long as my safety is guaranteed, I'll cooperate with anything."

Zhang Yang saw a Mercedes approaching in the distance and said, "They're here. Watch your performance."

"it is good."

After he finished speaking, Gu San'er's reckless demeanor came through. A person got out of the Mercedes-Benz, and Gu San'er said, "That's Xia Tian, ​​President Gao's bodyguard."

Zhang Yang nodded. He was dressed in hip-hop style clothes and wearing large sunglasses.

Summer walked over and said, "Third Master Gu?"

Gu San'er said, "Oh, why isn't your CEO Gao here this summer?"

Xia Tian smiled and said, "President Gao is waiting for you, so he sent me to pick you two up."

Gu San'er said, "I thought we'd eat nearby."

Xia Tian said, "It's not far, let's get in the car and leave."

After Zhang Yang got into the car with Gu San'er, Xia Tian didn't cover their eyes with blindfolds, indicating that they were going to a place openly and honestly.

More than half an hour later, they arrived at a villa area in Dongcheng District. Zhang Yang looked at the number plate and saw that it was villa number six.

Xia Tian said respectfully, "President Gao is waiting for you two inside."

Gu San'er straightened his suit and said, "Let's go."

Once inside, Zhang Yang could immediately tell that this person was definitely a high-achieving student who had returned from studying abroad.

The Stanford mug on the table is quite eye-catching.

"General Manager Gao" walked over and said, "Third Master Gu, it's been a long time."

Gu San'er said with a smile, "President Gao, how have you been?"

"General Manager Gao" looked at Zhang Yang and said, "This is...?"

Gu San'er said, "He came back from abroad. He's a top student in the computer science department at Harvard. He got into some trouble abroad, so he came back to China to lay low for a while."

"General Manager Gao" extended his hand and said, "Gao Jun, a Stanford graduate."

Zhang Yang clasped hands and said, "Zhang Yang, a Harvard student, I'd say he dropped out."

Gao Jun said with a smile, "Young man, you are indeed humorous. Please take a seat."

After sitting down, Gao Jun asked, "What would you like to drink? I have tea, coffee, and wine."

Gu San'er said, "Just give me a cup of tea."

Zhang Yang said, "Iced Americano."

The bodyguard Xia Tian went down to prepare, and at this moment Gao Jun asked, "I wonder what trouble you've gotten into, young man? Tell me, and maybe I can help you out."

Zhang Yang shook his head with a wry smile, as if recounting something embarrassing: "Hey, it's nothing serious. It's just that one night I was really bored. Everyone in the dorm went out to play, and I was lying in bed browsing the campus forum. Back then, the campus network could directly connect to the open ports of several universities. I was just curious."

I followed an unpatched Solaris server, went through two jumpers, and found that the node was connected to an internal network I had never seen before, with the domain name suffix .mil in the menu.

I didn't think much of it at the time, just flipped through it and saw a few internal emails containing supply lists for a Pacific Fleet exercise, along with several route maps marked as not for public release. I panicked immediately, quickly logged out, cleared the logs, and thought it should be fine.

He paused to take a sip of his iced Americano, and then said, "The next morning at 6:30, I was still sleeping in my dorm when three FBI agents just knocked on the door and came in."

Wearing a black suit, sunglasses, and shiny leather shoes, they took away all my hard drives, CDs, and even the case of my old desktop computer. They questioned me for almost four hours. I told them I was just curious and didn't do it on purpose. They checked for a long time but couldn't find any trace of me downloading, forwarding, or taking screenshots. In the end, they gave me a warning and said they would sue me if it happened again.

That afternoon I went to Boston Logan Airport, bought the next available flight to Los Angeles, stayed at a friend's house for two days, flew from Los Angeles to Frankfurt, and then took an Air China flight back. The whole way there I kept thinking about what would happen if I got stopped at customs, but thankfully, they didn't put me on any list. Once I got off the plane and stepped onto Beijing soil, I felt like the matter was finally over.” He then placed the iced Americano on the table.

Gao Jun found this somewhat unbelievable and asked, "Young man, are your computer skills that amazing?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I can't speak for foreign countries, but I'm definitely among the top three in computer skills in China."

Gao Jun said, "Okay, brother. I do have a favor to ask of you. There's something that's been encrypted by both software and hardware, and I need you to decrypt it."

Zhang Yang looked up at him and said, "Then what will I get?"

Gao Jun smiled, lit a cigar, and said, "Money, goods—US dollars, euros, Japanese yen, Hong Kong dollars—you can choose whatever I have."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I know what you're doing, brother. I really don't trust money. I want gold."

"Gold settled at today's unit price, three million US dollars worth of gold, then give me three days, a high-performance computer, and I can give you the software decryption, but the hardware... you'll have to find someone yourself."

Gao Jun clapped his hands and said, "Good, that's great."

"I don't have the item yet. Give me a week, and I'll contact you then."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Okay, have the things and gold ready in a week. I need to leave immediately after I'm done. You know I don't like to cause trouble. If I weren't short of money to manage things abroad, I wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing."

Gao Jun nodded and said, "I understand. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't stay abroad, who would want to come back to China?"

"I also got into some trouble abroad, otherwise I wouldn't have come back. The air abroad is much sweeter than in China, the pollution in China is still too serious."

Upon hearing this, his eyes sharpened slightly, but quickly returned to normal as he smiled and said, "Who says otherwise?"
