Chapter 30: Treasures
A large blue Mercedes sedan stops and stops in the traffic on Nanjing Road, and it's 8 a.m., which is the most crowded time on the main road in the city. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After the driver looked at the winding traffic outside the window, he saw the only passenger of the sedan through the rearview mirror, as if inadvertently. At this time, his employer, Xia Xueying, general manager of Isaac Airlines, was wearing a linen-colored Chanel suit and was reading today's "Huaxia National Daily" with his head sideways. The expression on her face is always as calm and elegant as usual.
Xia Xueying is actually very sleepy, because in a game called "Jin Yong's character role-playing" operated by her company, she has been online for 46 hours in a continuous RPG (playing) Huang Rong, so she is now very tired physically and mentally, but with the support of perseverance, she is still trying to stay awake. Now, she had a clear thought in her head - something had to be decided this morning.
Xia Xueying took out her mobile phone from her pocket and turned on the screen. At first, she wanted to send a text message to explain the situation, but after a moment of hesitation, she decided to call directly to explain the situation. Shortly after dialing, the face of a girl with long wavy hair appeared on the phone screen. "Sister, it's one o'clock in London time, and if I talk about work, I'm going to hang up." The long-haired girl dozed off and said, "I overdraft my sleep for a week, and if I go to bed late, I will have dark circles under my eyes." β
"Li'er, shut up." Xia Xueying said impatiently: "You connect Xiaobei's phone for me first." Xia Bingli, a long-haired girl who was taught by Xia Xueying, slapped her head and drove her sleepiness away while calling her mobile phone: "What's wrong with Miss Xue today, a good sister." β
After a while, the third-party call light was lit, and after Xia Xueying pressed a certain position on the screen, the display screen was divided into two independent windows, one was his sister Xia Bingli, and the other was his brother Xia Xiaobei.
"Time is pressing, I'll make a long story short." Xia Xueying said: "Sister Yuling informed me that I can make any decision on my own at today's four-party meeting. But the procedure still needs to be agreed by both of you. β
"The game company's business has always been done by you, sister. But I can't hear the word "procedurally", even if... β
"Intercept." Xia Xueying said: "I remind you that after today's meeting, it is likely that due to the "Jin Yong role-playing" online game, it will cause a full-scale confrontation between us and the other three forces in China, even so, do you agree to give me full power?" β
βOKγβ Xia Bingli said: "When did the three grandsons ever have good intentions towards us, it is long overdue to end this relationship between hypocrisy and wrongdoing. β
βmetooγβ Xia Xiaobei said: "If my previous proposal had been implemented, perhaps we would have already made a preemptive strike. Okay, I don't want to hear about it too troublesome, but in short, I fully support any decision made by Sister Xue Ying. β
"The focus of this sentence is on the first half of the sentence." Xia Bingli teased with a smile. "People with bad brains are so happy, they can push anything to others."
"Isn't it good to leave what you don't understand to an expert?" Xia Xiaobei said: "It's better than pretending to understand if you don't know it." β
"What do you mean... Are you trying to accuse me of mismanagement of the Arsenal team again? On the screen, Xia Bingli's eyes were angry, and her voice gradually became sharper.
"Alright, your comments have been received." Xia Xueying immediately cut off the three-way call before the other two escalated their dispute.
In order to expel her drowsiness, Xia Xueying opened the door of the cupboard in the car, took out a bottle of Armanite wine, poured a full goblet and drank it up. As the heat caused by alcohol flowed through her body, she felt much clearer.
"Xiaobei is really, he always likes to make Li'er angry." Although Xia Xiaobei and Xia Bingli are both their younger siblings. But when it comes to emotional issues, Xia Xueying still prefers Xia Bingli, who is also a woman. In her opinion, although the above two are sisters and brothers in name, they are not half related by blood, and they have not met before the age of twenty, that is to say, they have never had the slightest affection for sisters and brothers. Then, since you love each other now, you should face your emotions calmly. Now Xia Xiaobei's performance seems to be completely unconcerned, everything can only be maintained by Xia Bingli, who is a woman, to take the initiative. 'Hey... Xia Xueying thought: "I also suffered from Li'er, who has been willful since she was a child, and she accommodated him so much." β
"Maybe that's not the case." Xia Xueying then thought of her RPG character Guo Jing, who Huang Rong was chasing, Zhang Wuji, who was chased by Minmin Temur, Yuan Chengzhi, who Zhu Ajiu liked, and so on. "I really admire Master Jin Yong", Xia Xueying thought, she created so many emotionally passive heroes. Compared with everyone, after all, Yang Guo, the Condor Hero, is a gentleman in love. With such a man who values love and righteousness, it is no wonder that lovesickness is attracted everywhere. Among them are the little sister, Miss Lu... Well, there is also my Xiang'er, thinking that she will soon be able to see Guo Xiang admiring Yang Guo's love in the game, Xia Xueying couldn't help but feel a burst of enthusiasm, and then brought Huang Rong's mentality into secret pity.

At 9:33 a.m. on the same day, the Mercedes-Benz sedan stopped at the northeast corner of the high-end villa area between Ninth and Twelfth Streets. Xia Xueying knocked on the door of one of the villas, and as the waiter walked through the foyer into the reception room, although the sun was shining outside, the room was pitch black because of the thick brocade curtains drawn here, and the only two dim rays of light came from the two giant table lamps with red lampshades on either side of the windowsill.
"Would you like a drink, miss? We have the best brandy. The young waiter asked Xia Xueying, who had just sat down on the leather sofa in front of the window. No, I just drank in the car. Xia Xueying smiled and nodded.
"I'd like to explain to you about the environment here." The young attendant said, "Our generals used to be in the troops, and they were once used with optical weapons... At the same time that Xia Xueying waved her hand to stop him from continuing. Heavy footsteps rang out around the corner. "A little problem, let Mr. Xia laugh."
Xia Xueying stood up and saw the real owner of this house, Yang Yingcheng, the largest enterprise in Huaxia and the general boss of Northeast Asia Energy.
As the rumors say. Thin and tall. Even the slightly bald forehead did not prevent the majesty of his overall appearance and the aristocratic style of his temperament.
"Hello, General." Xia Xueying stood up lightly: "Please forgive me for calling General Jun, in this kind of scene, you should actually be called Mr. Yang." It's just that I respected your achievements and deeds in the military in my childhood, and I couldn't help it... β
"Haha." The tall Yang Yingcheng said with a hearty smile: "The title is just a symbol, speaking of which, the official name is a young girl, so-and-so or something, and I'm not used to it." β
"Huh." Because of admiring the general's heroic attitude, Xia Xueying laughed heartily. I was thinking in my heart: "Sister Yuling said that this general is old and strong, and it is true." β
After a few words of greeting, Yang Yingcheng's eyes lit up and said: "I used to be a soldier, and I like to speak straight, Miss Xia, don't be surprised." β
Xia Xueying bent her legs, sat up straight on the sofa and said, "Where, if the seniors have anything to say, just ask." β
Yang Yingcheng handed the goblet to the young waiter and said, "I deliberately rushed to Cape City before the four-party meeting this time. The first is to meet Miss Xia Er, who has always been admired, and the second is to solemnly ask Miss Xia for an important cooperation between the two families.
"Two families." Xia Xueying pondered this word, which was quite warm at this time, and thought to herself: "It seems that the relationship between Northeast Asian Energy, Huaxia Commodities and Jiangnan Heavy Industry is not monolithic. β
Looking at Xia Xueying's elegant smile, Yang Yingcheng didn't know what the other party was thinking. He beckoned the young waiter to come over and introduced Xia Xueying: "This is Xiao Ji - Ji Ya'an. I have been my adjutant in the past. He is not only a famous Jin Yong fan, but also a fan of the online game "Jin Yong Character RPG" developed by Miss Xia.
"It's coming, it's coming." Xia Xueying kept smiling, secretly vigilant in her heart.
"Before he took the bar exam, he was in a hurry and took advantage of the game's time system. Then, a miracle happened, he memorized the professional book that took a week to memorize, and it took only 7 hours in the game to memorize and pass the exam. Speaking of which, Yang Yingcheng picked up the goblet again. We all know that the time spent playing in Jin Yong's character RPG for one day is about one hour of normal time. Could it be that behind the time formula in this online game, there is still a mystery hidden through the sky? Miss Xia might as well explain to me, an old man who doesn't know anything about online games. β
Hearing this, Xia Xueying said calmly: "One in 100 million, my colleague Xun Shiyi did find out three years ago that when we were developing the system of this online game, we accidentally turned on the technology. β
"It's more than that. If this time-expanding technology is successfully developed, it is equivalent to extending human life by 23 times out of thin air. This is simply enough to change the current human society. Yang Yingcheng's always steady voice suddenly trembled slightly.
"General, please pay attention to the sentence I have in front of me - the one in a hundred million chosen ones." Xia Xueying's voice was still as clear and calm as a stream. Xun Shiyi, who said earlier, after tens of millions of calculations, found that only a very small number of people could use the game to extend their time - the proportion was about one in 100 million. In addition, we also came to another conclusion in the study, most people have some degree of mental decline after using this system. When she said this, Xia Xueying looked meaningfully at Ji Ya'an, who was standing aside, "After discovering this situation, we immediately ordered all 67 people in the development team to leave the game immediately. Fortunately, after half a year, their intelligence gradually returned to normal. After that, we worked around the clock to develop a patch that blocked the impact of the time system before the online game was released to the world. Of course, while the danger of the player's mental decline was ultimately averted, it also made it impossible for the player to take the abilities learned in the game outside of the game. "To add, it should be the majority." Xia Xueying still smiled without any impurities.
"Even so, I still feel that the technology has a lot of promise." Yang Yingcheng said: "If Miss Xia Er is not interested, can she transfer all the data and information of this technology, including the industry's first genius Xun Shiyi, to us?" Of course, in business, the rewards are not rich. β
Xia Xueying nodded and said, "Sister Xia Yuling once said that after all, there are areas in the world that humans should not touch. I couldn't agree more. If the old-timers are ambitious, we, the Xia family, will transfer all the information to the research institute of the people of Hualan Kingdom after the technology is mature. I believe that when the time comes, there will be a happy result. β
Yang Yingcheng's face couldn't help but change when he heard her say this, and then immediately returned to his smile. Nodding his head, he said, "What Miss Xia Er said is that this is extremely appropriate. β
Next, Xia Xueying got up and said goodbye with interest. Yang Yingcheng has been going to be sent to the door. Xia Xueying said politely: "The old-timer is not in good health, just send it to the door." β
Yang Yingcheng said with a smile: "The only advantage of old decay is that he is tough. Miss Xia Er, guess how old the old man is this year. β
"The old-timers are about 50." Xia Xueying casually said diplomatic rhetoric.
"Seventy-three." Yang Yingcheng said: "I only occasionally ask about the company's affairs. Most of the time, I care about the football of our Chinese country. Ling Brother Xia Xiaobei's performance in the QPR team last year really amazed Lao Yu. β
"Huh." Xia Xueying smiled: "I haven't seen that conceited and stubborn kid for a long time. The next time we meet, I'll ask him to come and see you. β
Yang Yingcheng nodded and said: "The Xia family is excellent, and among the three football players that the old man likes in the football world, two of them are Xia family members. It just so happened that at this time last year, I had the honor to personally send the FA Cup trophy to my brother Xia Nan. Yang Yingcheng pointed to a few group photos hanging on the wall and said to Xia Xueying: "It's no coincidence that there is no book, even the young contestant I liked at the last time has a little fate with Miss Xia Er." β
Yang Yingcheng pointed to the highest photo hanging on the wall and introduced to Xia Xueying that Jiang Yuzhe, the right winger of the Li Hai team, known as the sword of the Hua A League, is not famous now, but Lao Yu likes his energetic style of play very much. I've known him for a few years, and I can be regarded as a friend of mine. He once said that he is now RPG Guo Jing's youngest son Guo Poyu in "Jin Yong's role-playing". I heard that the character of Miss Xia Er's RPG is Huang Rong, so I must have known him for a long time, right? β
Xia Xueying silently looked at the leisurely and lazy face of the young man next to Yang Yingcheng in the photo, and thought, "Dead boy, I didn't expect that the first time I saw you, it would be here." β
