Chapter 239 Error Codes
In the afternoon, at 4:20, in the lobby of Akagi Hotel branch in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.

"Hello, sir. Wait a minute, I will refund your room deposit." The front desk lady showed a standard training smile, held the mouse in her hand, and tapped the left button.

The computer screen on the desktop flickered, and a dialog box popped up showing "Returning in progress".

Waiting for the system to process the refund, the front desk lady lowered her head slightly, yawned quietly, lazily packed up the guest IDs in front of her, and put them on the table.Tonight is Christmas, and I originally booked an evening date with my boyfriend, but my shift happened to be transferred to the evening, and I had to be on duty until 12 o'clock in the evening.Therefore, tonight's date can only become a bubble.

Ugh.

It's hard to stay in Tokyo.

Life is stressful and working hours are long.

Why don't you discuss it with your boyfriend and go back.

"Hello, the deposit has not been refunded yet." The customer standing at the front desk carried the suitcase and looked at the watch on his wrist. He seemed a little impatient and urged in a rather anxious tone, "Can you please hurry up?" , I still have something to do."

The guest's voice interrupted the girl's trance, the front desk lady showed apologetic expression and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, guest, I'll be fine soon."

After saying sorry, the hotel employee immediately bowed his head, quickly raised his hand on the keyboard, and was about to quickly press the Enter key a few times to end the entire check-out process in the system immediately.However, the moment her eyes fell on the computer screen, the receptionist was stunned.

On the computer screen, the words check-out success did not appear as usual.

Instead, a dialog box with a yellow triangle exclamation mark appears.

A line of text is displayed in the box: "System exception, error code 08756765X23"

Not sure what happened, at the last step of check out, the system got stuck.

Normally, the entire check-out process can be completed within 1 minute.Especially recently, Akagi Hotel has spent a lot of money to re-upgrade the electronic system of guest room operation, and the engineer has also optimized the interface for settlement at the bank.Under the new system, the entire process, including bank payment and settlement, can be completed smoothly without any hindrance, and there are basically no bugs.

The front desk lady frowned, immediately slid the mouse, immediately clicked out of the dialog box, and re-initiated the check-out process in the hotel's guest room system.

The Enter key sound of "click, click, click" sounds several times.

Feeling a little anxious, she couldn't help but press the keyboard harder.

The hotel room system on the computer keeps popping up dialog boxes.

Soon, the entire process reached the final step - refunding the deposit.

The front desk lady immediately pressed the enter key without hesitation.

In less than five seconds, a dialog box with a yellow triangle exclamation point suddenly appeared on the guest room system interface again, like an ugly turning head, thrown towards the exquisite operation interface, forcibly smashing a big hole .

"System exception, error code 08756765X23."

"What's going on?" The front desk lady stared at the computer screen, continued typing on the keyboard, and asked the colleagues around her, "Do you know what this error code means? Do you need me to log in to the employee account again?"

The voice fell, but there was no response from the colleagues around him, just silence.The front desk lady couldn't help turning her head to look.At this moment, at the front desk of the huge hotel, the five hotel employees who were in charge of checking out all looked anxious and kept typing on the keyboard.Some people have already logged out of the employee account and then logged in again.Some simply restart the entire front desk computer.However, after repeated attempts, a cold dialog box still appeared on the computer interface:
"System exception, error code 08756765X23."

Seeing this scene, the front desk lady immediately took out a large notebook from the folder next to her, and flipped through the hotel employee address book. The sound of "shua la la" came from the pages of the book, and she immediately found the page of the system engineer, picked up the receiver with the other hand, and made a call.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later." A cold female voice came.

The front desk lady frowned, put down the microphone, and was about to raise her head to explain to the guests in front of her.

In the next second, several phones at the front desk of the hotel rang almost at the same instant.Several hotel employees who were busy checking out the system couldn't help being taken aback. After recovering, they all answered the phone with one hand, and continued to check out on the hotel system with the other hand.

"Hello, this is the Chiyoda Branch of Akagi Hotel. Huh? Are you a colleague from Shinjuku?"

"It's from the Shibuya branch?"

"Colleagues from the port area? Why do you have anything over there?"

"Error code 08756765X23. Yes! Yes! We encountered it too."

"What does this code mean? You ask me, I don't know either!"

"Call the engineer and ask quickly."

"How to deal with it? I don't know either."

Gradually, more and more guests came to check out the entire hotel lobby, gradually occupying half of the lobby area.The elevator in the corridor opened the door with a "ding" from time to time, and new guests who were about to check out came to the lobby.At this time, it was the Christmas holiday, and it was the peak period for check-in at holiday hotels.Since many guest rooms failed to be successfully converted to check-out status, some guests who were about to check in were also forced to queue up.In the hall, more and more complaints appeared, and restlessness quickly spread among the gathered crowd.

"Wait a fart!" A customer knocked hard on the table, "Anyway, I'm leaving now."

"No, guest! Please wait and use your ID again!" The front desk lady raised her head and said in a panic, "Your credit card is directly synchronized with the bank payment interface of our hotel system. If you withdraw If the house is unsuccessful, the payment may be deducted directly.”

"How dare you!" The guest turned around and said viciously, then grabbed the suitcase and walked out of the hotel lobby.

At this moment, more and more people rushed to the front desk, loudly complaining about the extremely low check-out efficiency.The front desk lady was already sweating on her forehead, and she was clicking the mouse with trembling hands, repeating the check-out process again.However, every time the last step of refunding the deposit is reached, when you click confirm, the guest room system will pop up an annoying exclamation mark dialog box:

"System exception, error code 08756765X23."

This dialog ruthlessly ended the entire check-out process time and time again.

What the hell...what the hell is error code 08756765X23! ! !The lady at the front desk tapped the keyboard repeatedly, seeing more and more people in front of her, her heart was about to be tormented by this string of codes...

……

……

……

At this moment, the server storage center of Akagi Hotel is located on the third floor of No.20 JVC Building in Shinjuku District, Tokyo.

In the computer room, thirty or forty engineers surrounded the erected servers.Many black server boxes were placed on row after row of steel brackets, many of which had yellow indicator lights flashing.The messy wires next to it are tangled with each other, connecting to several laptops on a desk outside.A black command box appeared on the computer screen, as if a program was running continuously, checking the operation of the equipment in the computer room.

Engineers gathered around their laptops, all with stern expressions on their faces, discussing the rare situation at hand.

"What the hell happened?"

"I do not know either."

"What exactly is error code 08756765X23."

"When the system was originally designed, this string of codes was used as a prompt type for a special error. There is no clear content point, so we can only check one by one now."

"But what did you find out after so many investigations?!"

"No...don't know."

"Up to now, we have not found any abnormalities in the server."

"It's over! It's over! We're all going to be fired now."

"Don't be so pessimistic! Do things well."

Among a group of engineers, an engineering technician who seemed to be the oldest did not speak at the side, but just turned on the computer silently, checked the error reports of the guest room system sent by the hotel staff in the mailbox, and after a while, he Opened his mouth and said:
"Everyone. The error reports sent so far show that there is a problem with the system when the deposit is refunded in the last step. Maybe the problem is not on our side. But for some reason, our hotel has deposited the deposit in the bank account , could not be exported."

As soon as the voice fell, someone sneered and expressed objection, "How could there be a problem with the bank. It must be a problem with our system."

"you do not say!"

"what are you thinking."

The old engineer didn't refute, just picked up the phone silently, dialed the hotel's external liaison department, "Hello, I'm an IT engineer here, please inquire about the current bank account of our hotel's room deposit. What is the situation. After our investigation, the problem may not necessarily be on our side, but on the bank's side. Okay, please."

Some engineers in the computer room saw that the old man was so serious about asking the hotel staff to ask about the situation at the bank, they couldn't help but sneered again:

"Please. If there is a problem with the payment and settlement system at the bank, the entire Toyo will collapse."

"Hehe, sure enough, when you are old, you are old. When you are old, you are useless."

"That's right. It's a waste of time to check the bank's problems."

"Alas. There are always people who hold back your partner at work."

"What a disgrace to our engineers."

The elderly engineer did not refute, his face was calm, as if he had seen strong winds and waves and was extremely patient.Ten minutes later, the phone in the computer room rang again.The elderly engineer answered the phone, only to hear a few words from him, "Okay, okay, thank you." After that, he hung up the phone.

"Sure enough, it's just useless work. How could there be a problem with the bank." A young engineer said with a smile.

In the next second, the elderly engineer stood up and said indifferently: "Everyone, don't do it. The hotel's bank account has been frozen."

With a "bang", the data cable in the hands of a young engineer fell to the floor of the computer room.Because the floor of the computer room is hollow, the data cable with the plug hit the ground of the computer room, and there was a crisp knocking sound immediately.

Following the words "the bank account has been frozen", from the mouth of the elderly engineer, the entire computer room fell silent in an instant.

Only the server fans are left spinning "buzz, buzz, buzz".

The engineers who were staring at the laptop around the table stopped their work one after another, and couldn't help but look back at the elderly engineer, all of them showed surprised expressions on their faces.
