The Era of Hard Work

Not to mention other places, in Qingzhao and Quannan, people who know Lu Dong are already much more people than Lu Dong knows. Lu Dong vaguely remembers seeing this kind of greeting, but can’t remember. The situation of more specific information does not appear once or twice.

Celebrities in a certain area may more or less encounter similar situations.

The middle-aged man with a horse face was full of smiles: "Mr. Lu is so forgetful, I am Gao Yan!"

Hearing this name, Lu Dong subconsciously wanted to pull Song Na behind him. Some time ago, that Gao Yan made too many bad things.

It is very obvious that this high rock is not Pigaolite.

There are not many names, and it is not uncommon for them to have the same name. However, due to recent events, Lu Dong only remembered that Gai Shiying's nephew was named Gao Yan.

When did you know someone named Gao Yan?

Thinking this way in his head, Lu Dong didn't show it, and shook hands with someone: "Hello, Mr. Gao."

Although this Gaoyan man looks a bit ugly, he has a lot of experience. At this time, he said with a reminder: "More than two years ago, we learned Sanda together with Teacher Yuan Baoshan. At that time, I saw you practicing against Qiao Weiguo, so I knew you He is a master!"

"Anyone who is an expert or not is just practicing for fun." Lu Dong remembered that at that time, there was a big boss who drove a Mercedes-Benz and wanted to hire Qiao Weiguo as a bodyguard, and it seemed that he paid a lot of money.

It should be this Gaoyan.

In fact, the two of them didn't have much intersection, and they only met once or twice, far from being familiar.

After chatting for a few words, they separated.

Holding Gao Yan's arm, Zhou Lili said as she walked, "I didn't expect them to grow the company so big."

"What, regret it?" Gao Yan asked.

Zhou Lili said: "The best Miao Yu, Gao Ming and Fu Zhaoxia who joined Lu's Catering Company at the same time as me are all at the boss level. If I don't resign, I may not be worse than them!"

Gao Yan said, "You're not doing well now? I won't take you to earn money."

"No, no." Zhou Lili shook his arm: "I just feel emotional."

Gao Yan has rich experience in society: "As you said, you can't just look at the good ones and the bad ones?"

Zhou Lili understands a little bit: "There are seven people who joined Lu's Catering with me, and the worst one was. In the first half of this year, he was still an ordinary employee. He felt that there was no future for him to continue. Compared with Miao Yu, Gao Ming and Fu Zhaoxia, he couldn't help it. Unbalanced, just resign."

Speaking of this, she didn't understand that those people in the same period could reach high positions, which was related to their qualifications, but more to do with ability and development.

Incapable and unable to develop, even if he followed Lu Dong very early, Lu Dong still made people sit on the bench.

Gao Yan said: "Follow me, work hard, this time is to buy a villa, next time we will directly buy a building!"

On the other side, Lu Dong and Song Na walked slowly on the road, talking about the events of the year: "I remember that Zhou Lili was the oldest and most experienced of all the people hired at that time. I didn't expect her to be the fastest one to quit. of."

Song Na also remembered a lot: "One year when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Miao Yu called me and said that Zhou Lili came to her and asked her to follow the investment to make money or something. Later, you said it might be a pyramid scheme. During the holiday, you also specially convened all employees to conduct anti-fraud and anti-MLM training."

Speaking of this, she was curious: "Zhou Lili and others came here to look at the house, it seems that it has happened in the past two years."

Lu Dong responded casually, "Don't be a pyramid scheme."

Song Na said: "Don't say such nonsense, we don't understand the situation."

Lu Dong nodded: "Maybe the man is rich. I remember that Gao Yan, when he went to Teacher Yuan's place to practice Sanda, he sat in a Mercedes-Benz S series."

When they arrived at the house, someone was waiting at the door, opened the door and escorted them in, and then gave Song Na all the keys on each door. The house here has been built, and as long as the decoration design plan is determined, it can be entered at any time for decoration.

Song Na also told Lv Dong about her idea of ​​decoration. Anyway, according to her idea, after finishing the decoration inside and out, it will cost no less than buying a house.

Of course, in a place like Quannan, there is no need to be too extravagant.

Quannan is said to be barely a second-tier city, and it can be said that it is the most economically weak provincial capital city among provinces with relatively good economies.

This is not an exaggeration at all, the nickname of the big county is not in vain.

Because they had an appointment with Wang Dong to discuss matters in the afternoon, Lu Dong and Song Na didn't stay in the Quarry Villa for a long time, they simply looked around and left.

Taking advantage of the free time at noon, when the two went back, they bought gifts and went to the East Campus of the Provincial Hospital.

Zhao Juanjuan's father, Lao Zhao, who was the first to set up a stall selling sesame seed cakes and tofu nao with Lu Dong, is hospitalized here.

In the past two years, Lao Zhao has a wide heart and a fat body. He lives happily and eats delicious food. Unexpectedly, he developed high blood pressure and once suffered from severe headaches.

Fortunately, he paid attention to himself, and immediately called his daughter, and Zhao Juanjuan called 120 again.

Compared with when we first met in 1998, Lao Zhao looks much younger, with less wrinkles on his face and less gray hair.

Zhao Juanjuan happened to be in the hospital, sitting in a separate ward, and could not help complaining: "It was hard before, I could only work hard to earn money, my legs hurt, my waist hurts, my neck hurts. Now life is better, eating, drinking, and living, and noisy The disease of wealth..."

Song Na said: "You have to pay attention to your diet."

"It doesn't work, I have to eat meat!" Zhao Juanjuan was quite helpless: "Maybe I want to eat back what I owed when I was young."

Lu Dong thought for a while and said, "Sister Juan, Uncle Zhao is greedy for meat, eat more fish and less pork."

Zhao Juanjuan said with helplessness: "If you can listen, you have to eat pork. The best is the sauced pork head meat from your side. I also like to eat fatter ones."

Lu Dong said: "It is said to be defatted, but the fat content of pork head meat is still high. It is not suitable for people with high blood pressure and high blood fat."

Song Na answered: "High blood pressure requires attention to diet."

After chatting for a while, they entered the ward and said something to Lao Zhao, and Lu Dong and Song Na left.

Going down the stairs, Song Na said, "Once a person gets old, his whole body will be sick..."

Her parents, too, had a hard time every winter, and they simply didn't go back to the village in the past two winters. If they caught cold, their waist and legs would hurt, needless to say, the discomfort.

Lu Dong said with relief: "Living conditions and medical conditions are improving after all."

"That's right." Song Na said: "I have a vague impression that when I was in elementary school, the old people in the village usually looked very old when they were sixty years old. Those who did heavy work when they were young often collapsed. Like my grandfather, he couldn't straighten up when he was less than sixty."

What she said is also representative: "Now that the conditions are better, 60 years old feels quite young."

Lu Dong thought about the past, maybe the living conditions have really improved. After 2010, many people in their 70s, who don't look like people in their 60s when they were young, look old.

After going back to have lunch, Lu Dong came to Wang Dong's 8 o'clock Online Network Technology Co., Ltd.

Wang Dong waited at the entrance of the company, shook hands with Lu Dong, stretched out his right index finger with a broken knuckle, and pointed to an office at the end of the corridor: "Let's take a look at the things I brought back from Korea."

Lu Dong and Wang Dong are old acquaintances, so he joked casually: "Brother Wang, you won't bring back Korean plastic surgery technology, will you?"

Wang Dong said with a smile: "How can it be, our major is wrong, what I brought back is an online game."

Some time ago, Song Na asked Lu Dong about online games. At that time, Lu Dong only knew that Wang Dong went to South Korea after being hit by a wall in Lianzhong, hoping to get the game agency rights.

Having cooperated with Shanda's "Legend" and Jiucun's "Miracle", Wang Dong gradually became familiar with the Korean online game circle.

After entering the office, Lu Dong found that it was a program processing workshop where technicians were located.

Wang Dong ordered someone to turn on the computer, connect to the temporary server, and let Lu Dong take a look at the online games he brought back from Korea this time.

Lu Dong stood behind and watched for a while, and saw that there were many square bricks on the screen, and then people controlled the characters, dropped bombs like bubbles, and exploded the passage. It seemed that people would be killed by the bombs if they didn't dodge in time?

Unlike role-playing games.

"Korean-style online kimchi games are mostly born out of Blizzard's classic role-playing game "Diablo 2." Wang Dong said at this time: "Like "Legend" and "Miracle", there are obvious shadows of Diablo. "

He pointed to the computer screen: "This game is different. It is positioned as a casual game. The game control is simple. Just use the up, down, left, and right to control the direction, plus a space bar to place water bubbles, and the CTRL key to use special props. Six buttons You can play the game..."

Lu Dong nodded. He had never played such a game before, and it belonged to a relatively unfamiliar field.

Wang Dong added: "I've already obtained the agency rights for this game. The company is organizing manpower for Sinicization. It is expected that the public beta will be available after the end of the year. I plan to officially launch it in March next year."

Lu Dong told the truth: "I'm not very good at online games, Brother Wang, if you think it's good, go try it, I support you."

Although Wang Dong is the controlling shareholder of 8:00 Online, he attaches great importance to Lu Dong's opinion, and specially produced relevant game instructions for Lu Dong to take a closer look.

The Korean company that developed this game also set a story background for this seemingly simple game.

Roughly, there is a special village in the forest, and the villagers are born with a magical ability: making magical water bubbles.

They use water bubbles to hunt or collect gems in mines to make a living. One day a group of pirates robbed the villagers of gems and kidnapped the adults in the village, so the children in the village decided to use their magical water bubbles. , rescue their loved ones and take back the looted gems.

Lu Dong just browsed through it, put it aside, and asked Wang Dong: "Have you chosen the Chinese name for this game?"

Wang Dong said: "The direct translation of the Korean name is called "Bubble Hall"."
