E-Ladies: Navigating the Wired World-Chapter 71 - The Thrilling Server Migration

“Xiaojing is preparing for Level 6 and his graduation thesis…” Zhou Xueyin looked helplessly at Kang Siyin, “How about you ask Cui Hu instead?”

“Him…” If possible, Kang Siyin really did not want to ask this person who couldn’t be relied upon to make three sensible statements in five.

But with no one else to turn to for help, Kang Siyin had no choice but to leave a message for Cui Hu, asking for his assistance.

“Give me the account and password for both servers, and I will help you transfer the data,” Cui Hu said, not shy to immediately ask for the account details.

“…” Kang Siyin hesitated over whether to give them or not, as it was one of the company’s secrets. What if Cui Hu misused them?

“After I’m done, you can just change the password!” Cui Hu added.

Seeing this, Kang Siyin first checked whether it was possible to change the password. Once she had a positive response, she sent the account and password to Cui Hu.

“Yinyin, just to let you know, Cui Hu is helping us transfer the data, but he needs the account and password. Once he’s done, I’ll go change the password!” To be safe, Kang Siyin still communicated with Zhou Xueyin.

“That’s fine, I’ve met Cui Hu too. Although he’s a bit unreliable, he’s still a disciple of Master Yang; his character should be trustworthy!” Zhou Xueyin also trusted Cui Hu’s integrity and ability.

However, this time Cui Hu disappointed everyone in a big way…

God knows what he did, but not only was all the data on the old virtual host gone, it was also overwritten with a new forum software.

And the new server didn’t just fail to have the forum software installed, even the data Kang Siyin had previously configured had vanished.

“Cui Hu, oh Cui Hu! I asked for your help, not for you to make things worse…” After seeing the message left by Cui Hu, Kang Siyin truly regretted asking for his help.

Fortunately, she had wisely backed up the data after closing the forum. Otherwise, the hard work of half a year would have been completely wasted.

Although Cui Hu kept apologizing, he didn’t make any suggestions on how to remedy the situation, let alone offer compensation.

If only Master Yang could appear now, that would be great.

Hoping for the best, Kang Siyin sent a message to Master Yang.

Yet, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean…

Out of options, Zhou Xueyin could only trouble Wei Jingzhu.

“Xiaojing, Xiaojing… It’s an emergency! Whether our forum’s half-year of achievements disappear or not depends on your decision! Please, save us…” Zhou Xueyin sent a message pleading for Wei Jingzhu’s help.

“Friday afternoon, we don’t have class, I’ll come to you…” Wei Jingzhu’s words, like a savior descending, gave Zhou Xueyin and Kang Siyin a glimmer of hope.

The forum migration, which was originally planned to take just one day, had to be postponed due to Cui Hu’s reckless tinkering.

Kang Siyin once again posted a notice about the forum’s closure…

Curly Cat also sent a message saying that some netizens were suspecting that 51buy had gone out of business.

Zhou Xueyin quickly opened the chat group for the forum users, comforting those who couldn’t access the forum due to the closure.

On Friday afternoon, as promised, Wei Jingzhu arrived at Zhou Xueyin’s home.

He sat down in front of Zhou Xueyin’s computer without uttering a word and began to operate it proficiently.

Kang Siyin mustered the courage to stand behind him, learning how to migrate data, since they couldn’t bother him every time, right?

It was only after watching Wei Jingzhu’s operations that Kang Siyin realized she had been taking the wrong approach.

Migrating data wasn’t as difficult as imagined. First, they configured the new server, then installed the forum software, followed by uploading the backed-up data, and finally, unpacking it was all that was needed.

And Cui Hu was even more off the mark; he got the forum installation space wrong right from the start.

After Wei Jingzhu finished his work, Kang Siyin suddenly understood, “Yinyin, Xiaojing really helped us out big time this round; we must really treat him well!”

Zhou Xueyin walked up behind Wei Jingzhu and gave him an unexpected pat on the shoulder, “We owe our forum’s rescue to you! Tell us, how can we thank you?”

“What’s there to thank? As your special tech support, this is what I should help with!” Wei Jingzhu smiled, “The forum’s all set up for you; as soon as KK binds the domain name, you can continue using it as normal!”

Seeing the forum restored to normal on the screen, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Wei Jingzhu wasn’t majoring in internet-related fields, to their surprise, he was extremely knowledgeable about IT. Enlisting him as tech support was indeed the right choice, 100 times stronger than the unreliable Cui Hu!

After much persuasion from Zhou Xueyin, Wei Jingzhu ate the traditional Zhou family’s zhajiang noodles and then headed to the station with her company.

“I really can’t thank you enough for today! I feel like I’ve learned nothing in my four years of university compared to you who isn’t even in this field,” Zhou Xueyin made small talk.

“It’s normal! Your classes don’t teach how to run a forum or how to migrate one,” Wei Jingzhu spoke as though he knew a lot, “Just like in our wood sciences major, they don’t teach us how to plant trees either…”

“So what are you planning to do after you graduate?” Zhou Xueyin asked about his post-graduation plans for the first time.

“I haven’t decided yet, but I definitely won’t go into the wood industry…” Wei Jingzhu said resignedly, “But for now, I need to pass level 6 first. I’m not like you Beijingers; if I want to secure a position in Beijing, I have to rely on my own efforts!”

“Sigh… It’s just a pity that my company decided long ago not to hire men, otherwise, you could work with me and it might really be more productive,” Zhou Xueyin reiterated the unique feature of her company on impulse.

“An all-female IT company…” Wei Jingzhu chuckled, “I’m looking forward to it!”

“I’m also quite looking forward to it… I’m quite curious to see how far I can go.”

In the glow of the setting sun, the two young individuals shared a smile, each harboring beautiful hopes for their futures.
