Chapter 15: Black Haze

In the following week, Zhang Lexing not only took time to go around the sixth floor of the creative workshop, met with all the members of Iron Blood Studio and Yuebai Studio, and had in-depth exchanges on game development.

Iron and Blood Studio is developing the ancient war game "Warring States Policy", Zhang Lexing is not familiar with this history, so naturally it is not good to say much, but he has played some of SSI's five-star general series and ParadoxInteractive's "Victoria", "Iron Ambition" and other games, and can put forward some personal insights on the setting of "Warring States Policy" from the perspective of players' feelings.

As for Yuebai Studio, they themselves are still confused for the time being, and they don't know whether to imitate "Network Genesis", or simply start anew, but unfortunately Zhang Lexing's information was not with him, so he had to borrow a whiteboard and explain in detail all aspects of the most popular MMORPG in online games, what world setting, interaction between players and NPCs, occupation and skill system, the role of vehicles in the game, levels and equipment, interpersonal relationships and PK, etc. Under the influence of Zhang Lexing, a "master" of online games, a group of online game novices successfully evolved, upgraded to online game rookies, and began to take their first step in online game development with trepidation.

Under the guidance of Zhang Lexing, the people of Yuebai Studio chose "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" by the owner of Huanzhu Mansion as a background reference, intending to develop a Xianxia game, with a tentative name of "Shushan". Because the system of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" is quite large, and there are many sects, magic weapons, items, and books, it is quite convenient to adapt it into a game, so it has become the first choice of Yuebai Studio. The reason why Zhang Lexing didn't let them adopt the system of "Sword and Fairy World" was because he was worried that the experience of developing an online game for the first time was still a little worse after all, and it was less pressure to take the original road as much as possible. Of course, Zhang Lexing didn't forget to tell him before leaving, explaining some aspects that Yuebai Studio should pay attention to when designing online games, such as the game operation should be as simple as possible, and everything can be done with a mouse and a few limited shortcuts like "Legend of Blackstone" and "Diablo".

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and when Zhang Lexing left Beijing, he unexpectedly saw the catkins flying all over the sky, as if it was snowing heavily, but fortunately he was driving a car, and if he walked, he had to wear a protective mask. In fact, according to the usual year, it is not yet the time for catkins to fly flowers, and then Zhang Lexing consulted plant experts to know that the temperature was a little high this year, and the catkins were flying in advance, but fortunately, he had left Beijing and returned to Hong Kong, so there was no need to worry about it.

After returning to Hong Kong and resting for one night, Zhang Lexing returned to his daily work. Compared with before, after enabling the workflow office software, the daily work is more leisurely, in addition to sometimes needing to review some paper documents, most of the time is to send an email on the computer, look at electronic documents, check information or get an electronic signature or something, and even have a lot of free time to talk with Chen Zishan on the Internet or think about game ideas or something, in short, it is very easy and freehand......

One day, about a week after returning to Hong Kong, in a villa by Repulse Bay, Zhang Lexing had just woken up from his sleep, he glanced at Chen Zishan who was sleeping on the side, carefully lifted the quilt and got out of bed, sucked a pair of cloth slippers, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony, and pushed the window out. As soon as he stood on the balcony, Zhang Lexing felt a breath of early morning coming to his face, mixed with the strong taste of seawater, and there was a faint hint of fishiness. Zhang Lexing remembered that yesterday's weather forecast said that there were thundershowers, and he looked up at the sky not far away, and it was indeed full of thick dark clouds, and it was still slowly moving forward, but it was difficult to say whether there would be thundershowers.

After a little warm-up activity, Zhang Lexing started his daily exercise according to his usual habits, and after a while, his body began to heat up, and there was a slight sweat oozing out of his forehead. After playing the last trick and doing a few more relaxation movements, Zhang Lexing returned to the bedroom and carefully closed the floor-to-ceiling windows. Chen Zishan, who was lying on the big bed, let out a low murmur and flipped her body, and the quilt covering her body slipped off, revealing her smooth back like jade. Zhang Lexing walked over lightly, leaned down and pulled the quilt up, covering her body.

Chen Zishan turned over again, turning face up, with a sweet smile on her face in her sleep, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but lean in and kissed her lightly on the lips. Chen Zishan's lips moved, and Zhang Lexing saw that she was not awake, so he tucked the corners of the quilt for her again, and then got up and left the bedroom.

Walking out of the bedroom on the second floor, Zhang Lexing saw Ma Guanghai who was sitting by the stairs reading the newspaper, and after saying hello to him, he walked down the stairs to the kitchen on the first floor, opened the refrigerator and took a look, ready to make some breakfast. In fact, after moving to this villa, he specially invited someone to do housework, and there were also people to do breakfast, lunch and dinner, but Zhang Lexing still maintained the habit of making breakfast for two people after getting up early.

After collecting in the refrigerator, Zhang Lexing threw a few slices of bread into the toaster to heat, then took out the cutting board and began to process the cucumbers and ham, "dong dong dong" for a while, and then set up the pot to pour oil and turn on the fire, and beat the eggs into the pot, "呲哩呲哩" There was a chaotic sound......

After a period of hecticism, Zhang Lexing's love breakfast this morning, a ham sandwich with fried eggs, was piping hot, and at this moment, there was a familiar sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Chen Zishan also came down. Zhang Lexing divided the prepared breakfast into two plates, put it on the tray, poured two more cups of hot milk, and brought them to the table and put them down.

"Sansan, it's time for breakfast. Zhang Lexing greeted.

"Uh-huh......" Chen Zishan's muffled answer came from the bathroom not far from the kitchen, and then the sound of rushing water sounded, and after a short while, she walked out of the bathroom. Coming to the table to take a look, Chen Zishan sighed with a smile: "Today's breakfast looks very good, it is delicious at first glance." ”

In fact, Zhang Lexing's craftsmanship is definitely not as good as the master chef of the hotel restaurant outside, but it is better to be sincere and warm enough, plus he is not a trick all year round, he will change from time to time, and occasionally drive out to buy some ready-made, so over the years, Chen Zishan can often be a little surprised, for example, there is an extra vase full of flowers on the table today, which makes the usual breakfast a little more emotional.

After breakfast, the two of them started to send the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, at this moment, Chen Zishan's mobile phone rang, she picked up the mobile phone and listened for a while, the expression on her face gradually became serious, and after a few "good" sounds, she put down the phone.

Chen Zishan showed an apologetic expression and said, "Lexing, I have to go first, there is something wrong with the research institute." ”

"Okay, let Lao Chen and them drive you there, be careful on the road. Zhang Lexing originally planned to wait for her to send her, but now it seems that it will not work.

An hour after Chen Zishan left, Zhang Lexing got into the car driven by the bodyguards, came to the Oriental Building on Lockhart Road in Wan Chai, took the elevator directly to his office, and said hello to the assistants who came in advance when he passed through the outer office area.

As soon as he entered the office, Zhang Lexing habitually opened the computer first, and then logged in to the office system with his own account, intending to see if there were any matters that needed to be dealt with.

When he switched to the fifth email, Zhang Lexing's gaze suddenly became solemn. This is an ordinary filing email, saying that due to the impact of the financial crisis, some enterprises of the group need to shrink their business in Southeast Asia, especially the hard-hit Indonesia, and then attached some of the latest information in Southeast Asia, which made him nervous.

Intelligence about Indonesia reads: "...... Since March, the Indonesian media has begun to point the finger at the Chinese, attacking the Chinese for being rich and unkind, refusing to assimilate, and explicitly or implicitly saying that the Chinese are responsible for Indonesia's economic collapse...... It was found that there were sporadic violent incidents against the Chinese ......", it was these paragraphs, as if like lightning bolts piercing the night, that reminded Zhang Lexing of a major event that he almost forgot - an event that would shock the world in Indonesia in May. It's a pity that for many reasons, Zhang Lexing only knew that it happened in May, but it started on that day in May, and he couldn't remember it at all.

At some point, the sky outside the window had become dark, and suddenly a long burst of lightning pierced the sky, followed by a rumbling thunder, and then a drop, two drops, more and more drops of water fell from the sky, knocking on the glass windows, and the thunderstorm finally came.

Zhang Lexing's mood at this time is as bad as the weather, there is only half a month left in May, and that tragedy can happen at any time, but what else can he do, everything can make a difference. Zhang Lexing was thinking desperately, and after thinking for a long time, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number that he usually calls less.

"Raymond, I heard that you have ties to some international human rights organizations? Well, I want to ask you for one thing. Zhang Lexing said into the microphone.

"Mr. Zhang, you are right, there is some connection. But what are you talking about?" came a man's hearty voice through the earpiece.

"I recently heard about some violent incidents against Chinese people in Indonesia, and I think human rights organizations should be more interested in this kind of thing, and I am willing to fund them to go to Indonesia to investigate. ”

"That should be fine, Mr. Zhang. I'll contact you first, and I'll let you know when it's done. ”

"Okay, looking forward to your good news, Raymond. ”

Put down the phone, Zhang Lexing wrote an email asking for the suspension of all business in Indonesia and sent it to the relevant personnel of the group, and he waited for the email to be sent successfully, and then made a special call to everyone, in order to ensure that next month, no one in the whole group will still go to that ghost place for vacation, even Yang Xinxin and other friends in the United States, he did not forget to send a "travel risk warning", so as not to have some irreparable tragedy.

After making a round of phone calls, Zhang Lexing thought about it and felt that it was not enough, so he called Dai Shihua, the director of the media division, again: "Minister Dai, do we have any news agencies that have cooperative relations in our company?"

"Boss, yes, is there anything that needs to be promoted? ”

"No, I would like to invite teams from a few news agencies to Indonesia and let them pay attention to the local situation. ”

"Oh, boss, it's easier to use our own team. ”

"No, our own people must not go to Indonesia at this time. You help me contact a few news agencies in Europe and the United States, and remember that you must not ask for Chinese journalists, just say that someone wants to sponsor them to go to Jakarta, Indonesia to cover the living conditions of local Chinese, and the time is about two months. ”

"Okay, boss, I'll do it. ”

……

Before getting off work in the morning, Zhang Lexing received a call from Dai Shihua: "Boss, it's done, the information of the relevant news agency has been sent to your mailbox, you can take a look first, if it's okay, I'm confirming with them for the end." ”

"Okay, I'll talk about it later. ”

Zhang Lexing restored the minimized mail window while replying to the phone, and sure enough, he found a few new unread emails, which were all relevant introductions to some private news agencies in Europe and the United States.

Zhang Lexing selected an American, a British, a French and a German, a total of four multinational interview teams, and then replied to Dai Shihua by email about his choice, asking him to contact him and arrange for the news teams of these news agencies to go to Indonesia as soon as possible.

In fact, Zhang Lexing also thought that if he went back to a few decades ago, and he had such an elite army in his hands, it would definitely make those uncivilized things completely evaporate from the world, but unfortunately this kind of thought can only be thought about, before the incident, even Zhang Lexing was unable to do too much, and could only notify the people he could contact as much as possible, so that they would not be harmed as much as possible. As for the rest, Zhang Lexing can only hope that the news media will intervene in time when the incident occurs, transmit the news materials as quickly as possible, and then use the pressure of international public opinion to stop the continuation of this incident, which is why he has arranged for the news gathering teams of those news agencies to go to Indonesia, even if he can stop such atrocities an hour earlier, it is worth the cost.
