After sending the message, I planned to go to bed...
But suddenly I remembered the weird electronic product called "smartphone" that Xiuxing Company distributed to its employees. I planned to do some research while Duan Xinyu and the others were asleep.
So, I got up again, took out the "smartphone" from the box, and lay on the bed to play with it.
Power on.
The entire glass screen displays brilliant colors.
I was completely shocked!
The mobile phone...can also be in color?
And the color texture is very delicate and clear, better than TV and computer screens.
"It is worthy of being established as an organization requested by above. The technical resources provided are really amazing. Ordinary people probably wouldn't dare to think about it, right? A mobile phone can have no buttons, and the screen can be full-color."
I sighed in my heart.
But when I think about it, Xiuxing Company is obviously an organization of practitioners, but it uses the most high-tech tools... I always feel that there seems to be a little bit of violation?
Keep playing…
I found this smartphone to be really invincible!
It can unlock with fingerprints, face recognition, directly shoot videos, etc... Although more than ten years later, these are very common functions.
But in the cold and chilly early spring of 2003, when ordinary people didn’t even know what a “smartphone” was, I was really shocked to the point of no return!
After playing for a long time, I followed the instructions to bind the identity of this smartphone to mine, and clicked on a chat icon that looked a bit like QQ.
I discovered that I had entered a group chat directly!
Even the nickname has been chosen by default - Xiao Wu, the leader of the Geng Group.
As soon as I entered, someone started talking in the group.
[Team leader Ah Huang]: Yo! Newcomer coming? Hello, leader of the Geng group. I am Huang Hao, the leader of the Ji group. You can call me Ah Huang.
[Team D member Hydralisk]: Hello, Team Leader Wu!
[Group E member Big Muscle]: The boss joins the group and sends out red envelopes.
Me: Guys...what does giving out red envelopes mean?
I'm a little confused.
Isn’t giving out red envelopes the same as giving lucky money to children during the Chinese New Year?
This mobile phone... how to send red envelopes?
After all, this is the first time I've been exposed to such high-tech electronics inside.
[Team leader Ah Huang]: Brother Wu, please ignore these greasy middle-aged money fans!
I chatted with them in the group for a while, and then I realized that this was the general chat group of Xiuxing Company. All employees are currently in the group.
Uh... I counted, there were fifteen people in total.
I read the employee handbook before and learned about the detailed structure of the Southwest Branch of Xiuxing Company.
One general manager, Shen Rufeng, has two directors, four supervisors, and ten special operations teams.
As for the CEO, chairman, and board of directors, they are at the headquarters in Beijing. For each regional branch, the top person in charge is the general manager.
Among them, each action team has seven personnel. The group names are divided according to the A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui of the [Ten Heavenly Stems] - the stronger the group leader, the higher the title.
For example, I am the leader of the Geng group.
As for the leaders of teams A and B, they are at the same level as the supervisor and are directly appointed by the superiors. Reports directly to the Director.
For the remaining eight groups, every two corresponds to a supervisor.
Look at the people in this group of chats, general manager Shen Rufeng, a director whose nickname is [Daozhang Xu], and then the rest are the leaders of seven groups from A to Geng, and a few team members.
The rest are all vacant!
According to the "Employee Handbook", the Southwest Branch of Xiuxing Company is fully staffed with exactly 77 regular employees.
Now, there are only fifteen...
I was speechless again.
"No wonder I became the team leader as soon as I came in! Don't say that I am a polished team leader. It seems that the [own team] leader in front of me, Ah Huang, is also a polished team leader."
We don’t even have the directors and supervisors yet!
No wonder the fat old man Shen Rufeng told me that he wanted to grow together with the company... So is this what he meant?
"Okay, it seems that if I, the team leader, want to be genuine, I will have to find seven team members myself? But there is no rush. Anyway, my main job now is to go to school."
I thought to myself, said goodbye to my colleagues in the group, and quit the group chat.
Then I clicked on the [Task Library] software and browsed it.
There are not many tasks that can be taken on at the moment, and the ones that are suitable for me are all in Sichuan and Yunnan... I can't get away for a while, so I can only wait for the winter and summer vacations.
I kept playing until late at night before I fell asleep.
I also need the sleeping skills taught by Lao Cao, otherwise I will die suddenly sooner or later if I follow this schedule!
Early the next morning.
When we got to the classroom, Yao Nan pestered me and asked a lot of questions. Regarding what she said, I had nothing to hide and told the truth honestly.
Then she stared at me with surprise.
"My deskmate! In other words, you have now become the guardian of the night! In the dead of night, you fight against monsters and evil cultivators. Just like Superman or Spider-Man in the movies we used to watch together. "
Well……
I scratched my head.
"Understanding that, it's not impossible. However, my main job now is to go to school. Let's talk about these things when we have time."
Yao Nan asked again.
"Then can I join your group? I have a hunch that I am about to break through An Jin. By then, my combat power will soar."
As she spoke, she extended her right hand.
The skin is fair and delicate.
Then as soon as I thought about it, goosebumps immediately appeared on my forearms, densely packed. Once again, he was discouraged and immediately dissipated without a trace, and his skin became white and tender again.
oh?
I raised an eyebrow.
"The ability to close pores has indeed taken another step forward. The distance to An Jin is indeed not far away. The only thing missing is the enlightenment of one's character and the finishing touch."
"Then when I enter Anjin, can I join you?"
"we'll talk about it then."
I waved my hand.
Faced with the adventurous enthusiasm in this little girl, I could only use the word "drag" to deal with it.
As for Tang Xinyu, it was easier to deal with.
After a few casual words of comfort in the corridor of the teaching building, she said nothing more.
He just told me that if I really have to fight with monsters and monsters, I must pay attention to safety...
Time passes day by day.
In the blink of an eye, it was May 2003, and it was already early summer.
Chongqing has been nicknamed "The Furnace", but summer has just begun and the temperature has already reached over 30 degrees...
One day in physical education class, free activities.
The boys are basically divided into dormitory groups and are playing basketball.
The sweat of youth splashes in the summer sunshine and drips brightly on the ground.
Some girls cheered from the sidelines.
During the halftime break, Duan Xinyu, Ou Xiaofeng, and Li Zhuo and I were sitting on the edge of the court talking and laughing.
Yao Nan and Tang Xinyu both came over with iced drinks.
"Come on, let's go, let's not be light bulbs here."
"Yes, anyway, we Angkor have the opposite sex and are inhumane."
"Hurry up, walk faster! If you move a little slower, you will definitely have your mouth full of dog food."
These three animals pretended that they wanted to draw a clear line between themselves and me, so they sat next to me.
I:"……"
Yao Nan and Tang Xinyu have already walked up to me.
"Wu Zhong, I know you like to eat lychees. I bought you a lychee-flavored soda. Here you go!"
"My deskmate, let's drink Coke. After playing basketball, Coke is the best way to relieve the heat."
They both said and handed the drink to me with a smile.
But the sweet smiles between the two of them made me feel a little nervous.
I quickly picked them up at the same time.
"Thank you Tangtang, thank you Xiaonan. I like them both."
As he said that, he drank both bottles of drinks in one go...
Anyway, with my current Anjin level, this is not a big deal.
"Thanks!"
I returned the two empty bottles to them.
At this time, a voice came from the side.
"Brother Angkor, I want to talk to you about something. Can we find a place?"
I turned around.
I saw this guy Li Yuan standing there, rubbing his hands and smiling at me ingratiatingly. He seemed a little nervous and anxious.
I raised my eyebrows slightly.
This guy... Although I have settled my grudges with him, my normal relationship in school is limited to ordinary classmates who are "nodded acquaintances" when we meet.
On the contrary, I still need to get acquainted with his cousin Li Fang - after all, his cousin is already a social worker who runs his own company. He often introduces some business through Niu Bi, and occasionally we even have dinner together.
Before I spoke, Tang Xinyu took a step forward and looked at him with some displeasure.
"Li Yuan, I'm warning you. Don't bully Wu Zhong!"
After the words were spoken, she seemed to feel something was wrong - although she was an ordinary person, she had also seen how I subdued evil spirits in the cave.
An ordinary high school student is obviously no scarier than a demon, so there should be no way he could do this to me.
So she immediately changed her tune.
"Don't provoke Wu Zhong! He didn't teach you a lesson for the sake of his classmates."
I almost wanted to laugh when I heard that.
This innocent little girl doesn't know that I was the one responsible for Li Yuan going "crazy" in front of Ou Yong. It's not easy for me to tell her.
Li Yuan quickly explained with a wry smile.
"Xinyu, how can I dare to provoke Angkor? Even if I eat the courage of a bear and a leopard, I don't dare. I really have something and want to ask him for help."
Yao Nan was also folding his arms beside him and snorted coldly.
"I'm sorry you don't dare to cause trouble for my deskmate."
I looked at Li Yuan and found that he was in a particularly bad state today, and his whole person exuded an aura of malaise.
Although he is usually very low-key when he sees me and will take the initiative to say hello, he is never as weak as today.
Thinking back to the fact that he took the initiative to ask me for help, he must have encountered something difficult to solve...
"Let's go, Li Yuan, let's find a quiet place to talk."
"Okay Angkor."
So, the two of us walked to a quiet corner behind the basketball court where no one was.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
thump!
Li Yuan actually knelt down directly for me.
"Angkor, Angkor! You have to save my father, my uncle and my cousin. I beg you."
