Chapter 12: New Friends
After washing up and changing his clothes to go out, the phone in the living room rang again, and Zhang Lexing hurriedly ran over to pick up the phone.
"The place for the evening has been booked, and now it's almost time, I'll pick up a friend and come first. Soon, ten minutes away. Wang Bin's voice came from the phone.
Zhang Lexing looked at the wall clock on the side and said, "Okay, I'll go down in a few minutes, see you at the door of the community." ”
After sitting in the room for a while, Zhang Lexing got up and went downstairs and walked towards the door of the community. When he came to the gate of the community, Wang Bin had not yet arrived, so Zhang Lexing stood on the side of the road, waiting and looking left and right. After about two minutes, Wang Bin's jeep appeared.
Zhang Lexing waved his hand at the car, and the jeep slid sideways and stopped urgently, and stopped steadily in front of him. Wang Bin pushed the car door and beckoned: "Get in the car." ”
Zhang Lexing opened the door in the back row and got in. As soon as the person entered, he found that there was another person in the passenger seat, probably Wang Bin's friend, who knew that he was a very strong person just by looking at the back.
This is Wang Bin turned sideways and pointed to the person in the passenger seat, and said, "Lexing, this is my friend Li Taotao, you can also call him Brother Tao." After returning from the army, he is now the head of the city criminal police detachment, and he has made a lot of efforts to find a house this time. ”
Zhang Lexing hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Brother Tao, I'm bothering you this time." ”
Li Taotao turned around, Zhang Lexing was startled, and his hand almost retracted, but fortunately he controlled it in time. Li Taotao is actually quite handsome, but there is a huge scar on the left side of his face that runs through the entire cheek, which makes him feel fierce.
"I'm scared of you," Li Taotao didn't show a displeased expression, and deliberately pointed to the scar and introduced: "This is left on the border when I was a soldier before, and it's already fine." ”
Zhang Lexing was secretly ashamed in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "I really didn't expect that Brother Tao had participated in that border war, which was really rude." ”
"It's okay, I'm like this, many people don't think it's like a criminal police like a hooligan, haha. Li Taotao waved his hand and smiled.
"I said, can you two sit down first, I'm going to drive, and I'll talk about it when we have dinner. Wang Bin couldn't help but come over and interfere.
Hearing this, Zhang Lexing and Li Taotao hurriedly sat down, and with the roar of the engine, the jeep began to soar again. Zhang Lexing grabbed the back of the driver's seat tightly with his hand, trying to make himself sit more stable, there was no way that seat belts were not popular these days, and there was not even the driver's seat, let alone the back of the jeep. At this moment, Zhang Lexing misses his former driver very much, and at the same time secretly makes up his mind that he must get a car and a driver as soon as possible, and he will have a short life when he takes Wang Bin's jeep every day. Finally arrived at the place to eat, Zhang Lexing quickly got out of the jeep, stepped on the concrete floor with his feet, and a feeling of incomparably solid welled up in his heart. Wang Bin parked the car, then got out of the car and beckoned Zhang Lexing and Li Taotao to follow him.
Wang Bin did not go to the two restaurants across the road, but went directly into a nearby alley. After walking for a while, Zhang Lexing felt very puzzled in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Let's go to dinner, why did we get into the alley." ”
Li Taotao, who was lagging behind, took over and said: "You don't know this, in fact, there are many authentic Beijing-style dishes in this alley." ”
Zhang Lexing nodded, he really didn't know that there were so many wonderful things hidden in the alley before, and it seemed that he would have to go around more when he was free in the future. After walking another one or two hundred meters, Wang Bin stopped. Zhang Lexing noticed a signboard hanging on a window, with the words "Comrade He" written on it, which made people a little confused about the way, which was very strange. Wang Bin was familiar with the way to push open the wooden door of a stone door frame next to him, and walked inside, Li Taotao followed and went in, although Zhang Lexing still felt a little strange, he could only follow.
Passing through the door, it suddenly opened up, and it seemed a little cramped on the outside, but it was very spacious on the inside. As soon as I entered the hall, there were several seats, all of which were full of people, and they were eating in full swing. Further inside, there is a row of several rooms, each with a small sign hanging on the door, which seems to be a private room for eating.
After Zhang Lexing and the three of them entered the door, a woman who looked like a waiter greeted them: "How many gentlemen?"
Wang Bin waved his hand and said, "Three, those who have already booked a place, surnamed Wang." ”
"Oh, sir, please come with me. The waiter turned around and led the way in front of the head, leading the three to Wang Binding's box. When he came to the box and sat down, Wang Bin said to the waiter: "The dishes can be served, first take a few cold dishes, and then serve six bottles of beer." ”
The waiter turned around and left the box, and soon came back with a tray, put down a few cold dishes and went out again, and when he came to the box again, the waiter brought the tray in his hand and replaced it with beer. Taking advantage of the waiter's serving, the three of them chatted, Zhang Lexing knew that Wang Bin had not worked in the original Foreign Affairs Office, and had now been transferred to the newly established Economic and Trade Office, and Li Taotao was only one year older than Wang Bin, the two had known each other since childhood, played together until they grew up, and were classmates when they went to college, but after Li Taotao joined the army, they were separated for a period of time. Li Taotao also knew that Zhang Lexing was the boss friend that Wang Bin had mentioned to him, not only did he have many industries in China, but he also had a larger scale abroad.
Chatting and chatting, perhaps it was Li Taotao's professional habits, his topic turned to the big case in Hong Kong: "Lexing, you just came from Hong Kong, have you heard of the 718 bank robbery?"
I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, Zhang Lexing was slightly stunned, and then said: "Of course I've heard of it, I don't know if you heard that there were people injured and hospitalized outside the bank in this incident?"
"Hey," Li Taotao said in surprise: "I really don't know about this, is there something hidden?"
Wang Bin also showed a look of attention, and his body moved closer slightly.
Zhang Lexing tapped his nose with his hand, and said angrily: "This unlucky ghost is me." ”
"That's embarrassing. Li Taotao's face changed, and he smiled embarrassedly.
"It's okay, it's okay anyway......" Zhang Lexing didn't care, it wasn't a secret, and it didn't hurt to talk to friends, so he told what happened at that time in detail, and the experience of life and death hanging by a thread made the two sigh.
Li Taotao sighed: "Lexing, your life is quite big." But your bodyguard is too cowardly, to catch up with the people in our army, it's more than enough to clean them up. ”
Wang Bin glared at Li Taotao, and Li Taotao also felt that he had made some gaffes just now, and smiled slightly embarrassed.
After gossiping for a while, the waiter began to serve the dishes ordered by Wang Bin one by one, Wang Bin asked the waiter to bring three cups, open the beer, pour wine into the cups, and then the three of them began to chat while eating, but this time the topic was different.
"Lexing, what are your plans to return to China this time?" Wang Bin asked after taking a sip of wine.
"I came back this time to start a company that specializes in developing computer games. Zhang Lexing replied.
"Is the computer game the kind that is played on the TV?" Wang Bin still hasn't figured out the difference between a game console and a computer, while Li Taotao is confused, probably even more confused.
"You've seen computers, you must have seen them. Zhang Lexing was a little helpless, computers are still too unpopular these days, let alone computer games.
"Oh, I've seen computers, a bunch of square heads and square brains, ordinary people are not allowed to touch them, and they are very mysterious. Li Taotao seems to have seen something similar.
"Computers, I've used them before, it seems that they usually have a green screen, so you can also make games on them?" Wang Bin looked better, but the computer he came into contact with seemed to be relatively old.
"You don't know, in recent years, foreign science and technology have progressed very fast, and now the computer screen is no longer monochrome, and now the popular display can show very rich colors. Unlike the game consoles that are played on TV, computer games can be made more complex and interesting, and the variety of games is also richer. For example, there are flight simulation games, where players can operate their own planes through a keyboard or joystick, and fight against enemy planes in the sky, not the kind of video game console effect you often see, the graphics on the computer are much more detailed, and facing the monitor is a bit like sitting in the cabin of an airplane. ”
Li Taotao said in surprise: "Isn't that like really flying a plane?"
"Almost, future flight simulation games will be more realistic, if you make a custom airplane shell, replace the windows with monitors, replace the controllers with flight sticks, and bring in stereo headphones, it will really be like flying an airplane. ”
Li Taotao exclaimed: "In this case, wouldn't the pilot be able to learn on the ground in the future." ”
"That is, as long as computer technology continues to improve, the simulation effect will only become more and more realistic, maybe in the future, when there is a war, there will be no need for pilots to go to the sky, and everyone will control the plane to fight each other on the ground like playing a game. ”
Wang Bin was also interested, leaned over and asked, "What you said is true?"
After drinking two glasses of wine, Zhang Lexing almost missed his mouth as soon as he was interested, and quickly rounded his words back: "Of course I guessed, and I don't study weapons." However, judging from the development of science and technology, there is such a possibility. For example, there is a drone that can be controlled from a distance, and can send back the situation around the drone through a high-definition camera, so the operator of the drone can sit at home and control the drone for reconnaissance, and if the drone is equipped with combat components, it can be used as a fighter or attack aircraft. ”
Wang Bin fell into deep thought, but Li Taotao talked about prosperity, and then said: "I heard you say that it seems to be true, but I don't know what year it will be realized." By the way, when you come back to start a computer game company, do you plan to make this kind of game as well?"
"In the future, the company's technical strength will be considered when it is enough, but it will definitely not be possible now. Seeing that Li Taotao wanted to speak and stopped, Zhang Lexing said: "Don't worry, if you really want to make this kind of flight simulation game, you must be the first to play." ”
Li Taotao smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "How embarrassing is this." That's it, if there's anything my brother can help, just say. ”
"There are really things that may cause trouble for the two of you, I don't have many people in this company, and I don't know where to recruit people. "Zhang Lexing has participated in many job fairs, but after the late 90s, I am really not sure if there is such a job fair at this time.
"It's easy, wrap it up on me, I'll help you inquire about it tomorrow. Li Taotao patted his chest and took the matter down.
Wang Bin interjected at this time and asked, "What kind of people do you need to find, and do you have any requirements?"
"There are not many people needed for the time being, and a few administrative and financial personnel are about the same. Zhang Lexing said.
Wang Bin scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "That...... Chu Jing has nothing to do at home now, I don't know if it's inconvenient for her to go? Chu Jing used to work in the office, and she had some experience. ”
"It's okay, it's more reassuring to have acquaintances to help. If you still have friends to recommend, it's okay, as long as you can do the job. ”
In fact, Zhang Lexing also plans to recruit some locals who are familiar with the situation, so that it will be much more convenient to do things, and if they are acquaintances, they will naturally be more reassuring in the early days of the company's establishment.
At this time, Li Taotao also came over and said with a twist: "Well, Lexing, do you still want security guards in your company? I have a comrade-in-arms, he used to be in the reconnaissance brigade, similar to foreign special forces, and his skills are quite good. I retired a few years ago, and I heard that the mix was not satisfactory, but if you want someone here, I'll tell you about it, and he will definitely come. ”
"Okay, the company will definitely have security guards in the future, and I believe that the people who come out of our army can be trusted. Zhang Lexing replied.
"Thank you!" Li Taotao said very sincerely, took the wine glass and drank it all, and said to Zhang Lexing: "Do it first for respect!"
Zhang Lexing had no choice but to drink the wine in the cup in one gulp......
After eating, Zhang Lexing was already a little drunk, but fortunately, Wang Bin and Li Taotao helped send him back to the community. After washing his face briefly, Zhang Lexing didn't even bother to change his clothes, so he fell asleep on the bed.
