Cao Haiyang is very busy, but fortunately at his position, unless there are some temporary events, he can control himself to a certain extent when to hold meetings and when to be busy.
Tonight, he did not arrange a meeting with the people below. After get off work, he asked the driver to take him home.
Zhou Min is also busy. Summer is still far away for her. She has already started to take charge of the work. The whole school has entered her era. She personally watched the new senior year of high school. Although she did not dare to expect another Guan Jinyue, she could not do worse than this year in terms of overall performance. So she held meetings every day and watched all the teachers every day. Everyone else was relieved to be able to go home and have a meal.
After all, she is not airborne, and everyone knows what she is thinking and can understand how much pressure she is under. The results of the No. 2 Middle School next year will also become a very important part of her resume.
My daughter is not at home, and both of them are used to having meals at work. Occasionally, they send a message, or one of them comes home after finishing their work. Using such a message, they inform the other party that they have finished their work, and the other party will also inform them that they have roughly finished their work. How long will it be busy?
It had been a long time since I had smelled the smoke of fireworks at home. The aroma of the food whetted the appetite of the two people who opened the door, and their faces showed a bit of satisfaction.
As my daughter grows up, she knows that she feels sorry for her parents.
In the eyes of parents, a little advantage of a child will be infinitely magnified by them, and a full sense of satisfaction will be added to the child's little changes.
Wei Tao would not be the one to be in the cold. Cao Haiyang went to get the wine, but Cao Xiyu stopped him: "Don't drink, Dad, Wei Tao and I have prepared movie tickets for you. You are both so busy. Let's go see a movie later." ."
Cao Haiyang and Zhou Min looked at each other and thought this was a good idea. Their daughter was no longer at home, and both of them had become workaholics. Although they still communicated before going to bed every night, there was no trace of living together.
With Wei Tao and Cao Haiyang around, they would never be slow to eat. They would not talk about anything in front of the women at home. Regarding the game arcade, they had a tacit understanding and had never exchanged a word.
"Mom, I went online with Wei Tao, Zhu Xichun and the others at night, and picked up the goods in the middle of the night..."
After dinner, Cao Xiyu, who was helping her mother wash the dishes, mentioned the arrangements for the evening. She said implicitly that I might not be able to come back at night.
If it was before going to college, this is absolutely impossible. When your child goes to college, it would be ridiculous to say that you still control the time your daughter comes home at home. If you are out for eight or nine months a year, you know which night your daughter will be at home. Living outside the school?
"When you're tired and can't stand it anymore, let Wei Tao take you back. Don't worry about disturbing our sleep." Zhou Min also knew that this sentence was of no use. It was nothing more than a mother's final stubbornness when facing her daughter's growth.
After going downstairs, Zhu Xichun parked his car downstairs at Cao Xiyu's house, with the key on the right rear tire. He and Lu Jiang took Zhang Jian's car and headed to the Internet cafe above the Songjiang Theater.
The car parked in the backyard. Although it was just a small courtyard behind, the concierge had rearranged the arrangement and built a bathroom specifically next to the concierge on the inside of the yard.
Cao Haiyang got out of the car, went to the concierge first, took out a cigarette and said, "Uncle Dong."
"Young, Haiyang. Xiao Zhou is here too. This is your baby girl. How nice." In the concierge, there was a smiling little old man sitting, watching TV.
"Come in, come in."
Whether it's the screens on the windows or the screens on the doors, including the induction cooker, small refrigerator and brand-new LCD TV you see after entering the house, they are not the configuration of an ordinary old concierge.
Cao Haiyang glanced at Wei Tao, and his eyes conveyed this satisfaction.
The old Dongtou is a lonely old man. His wife passed away a few years ago. His only son is a colleague of Cao Haiyang who just returned from work. During the execution of the mission, he was seriously injured and was transferred to a logistics civilian job in advance. Later, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and passed away before he was forty years old. Human world.
There is only an old man left, and his living conditions are not good. The old man is still stubborn and will not accept any gifts. He can only be designated as a target of assistance and help the old man find some jobs within his ability.
At first, Cao Haiyang hoped to arrange to work at Wei Tao's place, take a walk at night, take a nap, and leave in the morning.
Wei Tao did not arrange it directly, but inquired about it and arranged it for the concierge. There is a bathroom next to it. The old house facing the street at home can be rented out by the elderly, waiting for relocation.
I live and eat here directly. I am usually not busy and have nothing to do. I watch the gates and open the doors for passing vehicles. If there is any other work, it is to clean the yard.
In the alley leading out of the back door, there is a mobile phone street in front, and there are people living on the rooftops in the back. They usually chat and play chess downstairs with their peers.
Wei Tao deliberately came over early before the movie started, knowing that Cao Haiyang would definitely have a chat with him. Before Cao Haiyang could talk about watching a movie and after watching the news broadcast, some old men gathered under the wall of the concierge outside the gate.
There is a door light controlled by Lao Dongtou, which is turned off at ten o'clock in the evening.
Usually, when playing chess or poker, this group of old people would gather under his wall. It was quite lively. After a while, two groups of old men and women, holding small horses, used two old wooden boards placed under the wall. The box serves as a card table and nighttime entertainment is turned on.
"Okay, okay, Wei Tao is here, you don't have to worry."
"I eat by myself in the morning and cook some porridge. At noon, the kids from Dexin bring me food, and in the evening I cook something by myself. I live a comfortable life. But Wei Tao, don't blame me if something happens. There are a few kids nearby who are always willing to run away. Come to my place and watch TV..."
Is it really good? Others say they can't feel it. The house is fully equipped, the single bed has been neatly tidied by the old man, the intercom and phone have been wiped clean, and the door keys and electric keys have all been hung up. At the waist.
There was not much work here. The old man chatted for a while, and two groups of people invited him to play chess. Cao Haiyang also took his leave.
"You ask the watchmen and security guards inside to pay attention during the day and night. Don't leave Uncle Dong here alone. If there is any illness or disaster, don't leave it alone."
"Know."
Watching the two men walking and chatting, Zhou Min couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Who would have thought that the little guy had grown to such an extent in such a short period of time that he could no longer be treated as a child.
The couple hadn't watched a movie for a long time. Looking at the popcorn and Coke in his hands, Cao Haiyang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Because Zhou Min worked in the school, he had some childlike innocence, so he pulled him to speed up: "Let's go, let's go too." I haven’t watched a movie in a long time.”
The little utilitarian thoughts that existed in her heart before have all disappeared now. Not only Wei Tao's success, not only her daughter getting along well with him, but also the affirmation from her husband.
Wei Tao, who used to sell vegetables and fruits on a tricycle, has long been completely erased from her mind, leaving behind the image of Mr. Wei wherever he goes now. I don’t deny it if I say I’m being petty, but I’m being petty for the sake of my daughter.
………………
In the fifth floor area, many old players have a tacit understanding. The area here is large and the machines are large. Those who have played various games for a long time will gather in familiar areas.
It's one thing if there are no machines available. When there is free time, everyone will gather in familiar areas according to the type of games they play.
When Wei Tao and Cao Xiyu arrived, they went upstairs from the cinema area. Before they could walk up, they heard Liu Lei's wailing.
Rich people play games, like to rule the world, like PK, and enjoy the unscrupulous feeling, otherwise where is the fun? Leveling up all day? Squatting in one place all day long, going back and forth to find treasure? That's obviously not his style.
Yuan Hailong can't afford to bother with him. Fortunately, he has finished buying the account. He is just buying some equipment and he is no longer needed. Liu Lei takes turns to replace him. It can be done within a radius of five or six hundred kilometers. The people on my side are like horses. Yes, the price is not low. Although the game has lost its former glory, Liu Lei and the others are among the few that are relatively popular in the regional server where they are located.
There are also several batches of krypton gold players and several large-scale gangs, fighting endlessly every day, and the place where the boss is beaten is almost every day.
Large-scale battles break out almost every day in the Royal Tombs and the Imperial Stone Valley, and the battles require personnel. The personnel have to grab the place for leveling up and stay there for 24 hours, lest the place for leveling up will be picked up by others once they leave.
Once the PK starts, after returning, they have to fight for the place again, and Sanren players will inevitably be involved. After various sneak attacks, some Sanren who can't stand it choose to join a certain side, and Liu Lei will do business. In order to blend in, a few alt-accounts were specially arranged to be able to speak well and attract people to their side.
Just integrating players from one area of Songjiang is not enough. Liu Lei, who is currently in a weak position, plans to form the largest gang. As for being all in one, he doesn't think that's good. Once there are no more battles and consumption can no longer be stimulated, the value of the equipment will drop. , the popularity will be less, and it will be boring after a long time.
Now, he doesn't go to the normal social activities in the evening. The fun in the Internet cafe is far more than drinking and bathing. As long as he shows up, he doesn't need to deliberately cause trouble. He is 100% wronged by the boss in the gang for a day. Lead the team and help find a venue.
I'm not afraid of wasting time, I'm not afraid of delaying time, and the two young people I found have good power-training techniques. Liu Lei left after he was satisfied, and it was ID who wanted to retaliate and cause trouble. The two power-trainers can fight and endure, and they can also be relatively high. Complete leveling tasks efficiently.
"Legend is the overlord, but in Songjiang Theater, now "Thousand Years" is not bad. It has become a gathering place for players in this area of the city. It may not be possible to come here to stay overnight continuously, but there are some activities or pk appointments. Zhuang Zhe has been working in an Internet cafe for several years, but he has never seen "Millennium Players" where more than a hundred people can sit in a row.
Today's Internet cafe on the fifth floor has a total of more than 400 machines. Zhuang Zhe has emptied his fortune and invested all the money he earned in it. There is no room for the entire fifth floor. If there is any more, it will affect the entire Internet cafe. The layout has an impact and can make people feel crowded and uncomfortable.
For network management alone, Zhuang Zhe employs twenty people, twelve on the day shift and eight on the night shift.
In other Internet cafes, many playful network administrators value the night shift and feel that there is nothing to do in the second half of the night. Here, the day shift and evening shift are the same, and everyone takes turns.
As a day shift network administrator, I can play for two or three hours in the morning on non-holidays, so I'm not that busy.
For network administrators who work the night shift, it takes more than 12 o'clock when they are not busy to have a chance to touch the machine. When they are busy, it is normal for them not to be able to touch the machine all night, unless some familiar customers can't stand it anymore and go to bed or go home. , they can pick up other people’s machines and play with them for a while.
In the kitchen, two chefs worked two shifts, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., and they discussed the shifts. The one who comes in the morning needs to be busy until six o'clock, and the other one comes at four o'clock in the afternoon and gets off work at twelve o'clock.
There are four cashiers at the bar, one shift 24 hours a day, two people per shift.
The network manager is responsible for ordering and serving food. Every morning at 7 o'clock, the network manager gets off the plane and shuts down the server and all the machines for an hour. Taking advantage of this hour, the morning shift comes to work and the evening shift does not get off work. They clean up and wipe down together. Machines, tabletops, seats, sofas, floors.
One of Zhuang Zhe's nephews is in charge here.
In the morning, after Zhuang Zhe's wife dropped off the children, she would go to the Internet cafe to take a look. The real boss was here, and no one dared to be lazy. She basically arrived at eight o'clock. The cleaning was not done well, the nephew was scolded, and everyone was not good.
Afterwards, Zhuang Zhe's wife settled last night's earnings with the cashier and deposited money.
Zhuang Zhe usually comes in the afternoon and usually stays until midnight before leaving. He didn't dare to be careless, and he didn't dare to slack off. Even his nephew didn't dare to act like a relative of the boss and yell around here. That is to say, the employees had the final say, and he also knew that the real big boss here was Mr. Wei. .
The Internet cafe business was so booming that Zhuang Zhe had other thoughts. He only dared to chat with his wife at home and didn't dare to take any action. I really didn't dare. Rumors were flying all over the place about what happened at the fruit wholesale market, and Zhuang Zhe also heard about it. Mr. Wei, along with Dachun and Dajiang, actually picked out Han Hu's hamstring.
Fighting is one thing, but after that, Han Hu's backstage, including Han Hu, were all in bad luck. Now they are all in jail and working on sewing machines.
Being ruthless is enough once, and the influence will spread in ways you can't imagine. This is why Wei Tao was willing to fight ruthlessly in the first place. The era of barbaric growth has not passed yet, and any business will be more Even if you don't say it's a one-and-done thing, it will put a label on you - a label that's not easy to mess with.
As soon as Wei Tao and Cao Xiyu arrived, Liu Lei quickly waved and said that two machines had been left beside him. They were turned on. It didn't matter whether there were people sitting or not. I had to occupy a seat in advance.
Cao Xiyu sat down first, while Wei Tao was pulled to the side by Zhuang Zhe to drink tea.
Drinking tea is the introduction, smoking is just a way to get closer, and talking about things is the main topic.
"Mr. Wei, the pressure is too much to replace them all at once." The tone of discussion made Wei Tao laugh: "Lao Zhuang, who asked you to replace them all at once, fifty units and a hundred units, replace the machines you just replaced. , the price will go up by 50 cents an hour, and accommodation will go up by 2 yuan. We will return to the original price after all updates are completed.”
Zhuang Zhe slapped his head, and the fat on his face trembled. In the past few months, he had gained at least another twenty kilograms. Others would lose weight if they endured like this, but he kept getting fatter and fatter: "Mr. Wei, you With my brain, such a simple thing seems so complicated to me."
It's not that he didn't want to replace it in batches, he just thought that there would be conflicts and there would be a situation of grabbing the machine. The newly replaced machine has a better LCD screen and the new machine has better configuration. It would be smoother to play games or do something else. If he gave the old machine He doesn't agree with the price reduction. He has also thought about increasing the price of new machines and is worried about losing customers.
It will increase for a period of time, and then be restored after all updates. During the replacement process, if you feel that the price is too high, you can go to the old machine to play. It has always been the same machine at the same price, so there is no psychological gap. If you don’t need that little money, you can go play on better machines. Once all updates are completed, other Internet cafes in the city will start to update. We will unify the prices, so that old players will only experience the new machines later, and the prices will not change. .
The more he thought about it, the more interesting Zhuang Zhe found this idea. Hey, this person is really different from other people. How did Mr. Wei grow his head?
I took two boxes of Zhonghua and sent a few bottles of iced drinks. Knowing that Mr. Wei's girlfriend was here, I asked the cashier at the bar, girls know girls, to pick some snacks and went downstairs to buy some. Gendas's ice cream was delivered.
Wei Tao didn't feel that he was too tall. It was just a difference in vision. In these days, there were not many Internet cafes with more than 400 machines. Many Internet cafes on the street only had 180 machines. If you order one more One hundred and forty-five, maybe even less than fifty or sixty. There is no convenient condition for upgrading. You either have to spend money to replace it all at once, or you have to wait for the machine to start complaining that it is slow and slow, and then you have to replace it.
There are also some Internet cafes that endure until the end, waiting to replace the machines that have been eliminated by the big Internet cafes that have a booming business. As long as they are not slow, I don’t care whether they are fast or not. They often play here and bring in the machines that others have eliminated. It will feel fast.
I always see tortoises running, and occasionally I see rabbits running, and they feel very fast. But as everyone knows, they are already in the car and disappear in a flash.
Cao Xiyu chatted with Penguin for a while. She didn't like games very much. The new movies here were updated very quickly, and there were also several TV series. She couldn't rent them at the video rental store in the school, so she quickly opened them and watched them.
Girls who don't play games basically stay in the same state when surfing the Internet, watching TV and chatting. Cao Xiyu also does one more thing, looking at Wei Tao's screen next to him from time to time.
Cao Xiyu always likes to see his mature and serious side, and occasionally sees his age-appropriate side. If others do this, she will feel childish, but only Wei Tao, she will find it cute.
At almost double the premium, Wei Tao smashed the entire server market.
The number itself is forged with four levels of demon robes to the highest level. The remaining most important equipment that will not be replaced are the four-stage men's devil wristbands, the fourth-stage men's devil boots, and the fourth-stage men's hundred-refinement rain hats. Wei Tao paid a high price for two of these three items, and the last one was The businessman saw the huge benefits and started to advance to a higher rank. He gave Wei Taosheng a bamboo hat, the only one in the whole region. This piece of equipment cost Wei Tao more than 10,000 yuan.
Weapons and the like are not fully collected. Level 3 is still easy to collect and can be used. His main weapons are the 4th level Tianwang Sword and the 4th level Beihai chain bow, which makes him switch between sword skills and bow skills in almost all fights. With the upper level martial arts at full level, With his agility in all directions, in group battles, the devil's equipment has powerful dodge attributes, allowing him to take fewer beatings.
He took up the number, then went off as an agent, followed Liu Lei and others, and started a four-hour battle. It was so enjoyable that he couldn't feel the passage of time at all.
After being informed by the network administrator, Zhuang Zhe knew that the game pk over there was about to end, so he arranged for his nephew to go downstairs to buy barbecue. The attractive aroma of kebabs was placed on the folding table, attracting many customers who were greedy. Go to the barbecue restaurant downstairs to grill some skewers. If you don't have any conditions, you can have fried rice, fried noodles, or instant noodles. It's so late at night to have something to eat and feel comfortable all over.
In Liu Lei's words, Taozi spent tens of thousands of dollars to return to the embrace of the organization. Otherwise, if this kid wants to stay with him and surf the Internet, don't even think about it. He goes out to take a bath every day.
"Then you hurry up and accept it. When I am fully equipped and equipped at the top level of level 4, I will follow you for a few more days."
Of course, the picture quality and gameplay are not what Wei Tao likes. It is purely a sentiment of youthful memories. Let him play by himself and find a place to practice leveling. It is estimated that he can fall asleep in less than an hour, that is, being with everyone. Only then can you experience the fun of playing games.
They looked at the time. It was already twelve o'clock. After getting up, Liu Lei called several power coaches over and asked them to sit on the machine and control the game characters. You decide whether to fight or not. You don't have to fight. Go level up again.
Cao Xiyu just ate something, and was told by Wei Tao to eat something warm to avoid being cold, so she drank an extra bowl of hot pimple soup.
Wei Tao, Liu Lei and Zhuang Zhe drank some wine, two taels of liquor each and two bottles of beer, a little over one o'clock, and the group walked out of the Internet cafe.
Although it was midsummer, at this time, the cold wind was blowing outside. Cao Xiyu put on his sportswear jacket, while Wei Tao took a jacket from the car and put it on.
Liu Lei's side also has two young people from the fruit and vegetable market who are obsessed with "Thousand Years" with him. As long as it doesn't delay work, Liu Lei is usually happy to take them with him. It's always good to have people around him to follow him. According to the standards of Xiangjiang movies , the vanity of always being surrounded by horses can also be satisfied.
Liu Lei was not short of money to eat, drink and have fun in the Internet cafe. Now the two young men were respected by Brother Lei. Not only did they have fun, they also found a long-term investment opportunity at work.
This is Wei Tao's first real return to the fruit wholesale market after a while.
From Liu Dalong's side, six carts of lychees, one cart of durians, and one cart of mangoes will arrive tonight. Wang Hai led the team and the two parties cooperated many times. There was no mistrust between the goods once and twice.
Tonight, two of the three wholesalers will also arrive with more than a dozen trucks of goods, one arriving at eight o'clock in the evening and the other at nine o'clock in the evening.
There are a lot of bulk goods in the market, but today, even if the goods arrived in the afternoon, there were no batches of goods. It was not until one o'clock in the evening, when Wei Tao and Liu Dalong's goods arrived, that the whole market suddenly came to life. come over.
