330 Eighteen Puzzles
Wang Heng didn't care about Chen Yexi's abnormality. After all, in his opinion, the assistant's performance was already very good. At most, he would think about it a little bit. Although he didn't know what this guy was thinking about, as long as he abides by the job requirements and completes the work seriously, everything else would have nothing to do.
But when it comes to the issue of girls' adult gifts, Chen Yexi doesn't seem to have any particularly good ideas.
"Sorry, Mr. Wang, I haven't given any gifts to girls..."
After hearing what the assistant said, Wang Heng was slightly surprised: "Have you ever given a gift to a girl? Have you never been in a relationship?"
Chen Yexi: "Yes, I have never been in a relationship."
Wang Heng: "You are already thirty, haven't you talked about it yet?"
Chen Yexi was a little helpless: "Mr. Wang, don't be heartbroken...and I really think that career is more important than love."
"I see."
So Wang Heng understood that he could not hear any useful suggestions from Assistant Chen. Fortunately, he had some ideas and relied on his own to think about it, so it was not a big problem.
Even if the gift itself is not very outstanding, at least the gift giving process is very sincere, which should be enough.
The two sat down and started eating the takeaway lunch box.
After eating, Wang Heng threw the lunch box into the trash can and continued to write the code. Chen Yexi threw his lunch box into the same trash can, then picked up the garbage bag and took it outside to throw it away.
Because the only permanent staff in the office is himself, Chen Yexi did not hire a cleaning staff.
After throwing the garbage back, he saw that Wang Heng was still writing code.
An hour later, Chen Yexi took a glass of water and saw that Boss Wang was still writing.
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Wang Heng finally stretched: "Do it, finish the work and go home."
Chen Yexi's mouth twitched, and he refused to complain - this is your company, the boss, after being busy for so long, he even said 'get off', why don't you have the awareness of becoming a capitalist at all?

Early this morning, after Ye Xun opened his eyes, he lay on the bed for a long time.
Staring at the ceiling, the girl suddenly remembered that today seemed to be her birthday... But her family was not around and the people she liked were not around, which made her feel bored.
Ye Xun covered his face with a quilt and said to himself: "What is the meaning of those rituals?"
That’s right, the so-called birthday is nothing more than a ceremony. Time flows smoothly. What is the essential difference between the day before and the day after the age of 18? Why is it worth commemorating and celebrating?
Suddenly, the phone's text message prompted the sound.
Ye Xun caught his cell phone and took a look. It was a text message from his father:
[Happy 18th birthday, my little princess! I'm sorry that dad can't fly to you on such an important day to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony with you, but the cake I ordered should arrive soon. Also, if Xiao Xun wants anything, you can tell dad. In the third year of high school, the academic pressure will definitely get heavier. I'm sorry dad can't help you. I can only say, come on, Xiao Xun!]
The girl put down her cell phone, lay in a daze for a while, and then she heard the access control ringtone.
She put on her sportswear, walked over, and opened the access control for the family. After waiting for less than a minute, someone delivered the exquisite gift box to the girl.
"Hello, I am Angrus' deliveryman, this is yours... Just sign here, thank you."
The deliveryman who had finished his work turned around and left.
Ye Xun closed the door, then placed the gift box on the coffee table and opened it.
Inside is a round birthday cake, with light blue colors and rainbow-like chocolate decorations, all of which are very beautiful and quite girlish.
"But I don't eat cream..." Ye Xun sighed, "And I can't finish such a big cake."
After a while of melancholy, the girl suddenly came up with an idea. Using the excuse of "helping eat cake", can she call Wang Heng over and leave his footprints on her adult birthday?
But soon she remembered that she had heard Han Yixuan say not long ago that Wang Heng would be very busy during the winter vacation. First, it was a matter in the company, and then he would go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. It might be difficult to take free time, right?
However, if you don’t ask, how can you know if he is free today?
Just as Ye Xun was hesitating, the Q prompt sound of his cell phone rang in his sweatpants pocket.
Ye Xun took out his cell phone and saw a prompt from the Q email address. This was a new email, from... Wang Heng.
The girl suddenly became energetic.
Why did Wang Heng send an email today? Is it because he knows his birthday today, so he also prepared a birthday gift? No, considering that this is an email, it should only be birthday congratulations... But it doesn't matter. Even if there are no gifts, it's already great that he remembers his birthday.
She ran back to the bedroom, turned on the computer, and then clicked on the new email in the mailbox.
Then, she saw a bunch of math problems.
"What is this? A birthday gift wouldn't be an electronic test paper!"
The girl pressed her temples and felt a little headache.
Could it be that Wang Heng actually didn’t know his birthday, and this email was just something like winter vacation tutoring?
"But it's not right. There are too few questions and it takes less than two hours to finish..."
Such a question doesn't seem to be very difficult, and it's too pediatric for girls with the top five in the class with final math scores.
Could it be that there is any deep meaning here?
Ye Xun stared at the topics, looked at them twice, and suddenly realized a problem.
Among these math questions, none of them is a geometry proof question, and the answers to all questions should be letters or numbers. So is there anything special hidden in the answers to the questions?
Just in time, the first question tests a collection, a rather simple fill-in-the-blank question.
Ye Xun glanced at it, thought for a while, and found that the answer was two numbers - 1, 8.
Does this have anything to do with my 18th birthday?
The girl thought so and filled in the numbers 1 and 8. Then, a square pattern popped up in the attachment of the email address. There was no need to think about it, just one look to understand that the pattern was part of a map.
"Oh my god, what is this..." Ye Xun was shocked, "Is this actually a puzzle game!"
The girl's eyes shone brightly, she found a calculation paper and a pen, and started the remaining questions on the computer. Next, the questions became more and more difficult, but she became more and more serious. After all, as more and more questions were solved, the map became more and more complete, and the answers became closer and closer.
What kind of information will be obtained after it is fully untied? What surprises will the entire map reveal?
Ye Xun's curiosity has been completely aroused.
As for the birthday cake my father gave me, she was still lying lonely on the coffee table. After all, even without these puzzles, the girl didn't want to eat it.
