alien heir

The multi-functional gymnasium of Arrow Motor Company is located in the center of the office building, and Cheng Yuan’s office is also located in the center, so if you take a self-balancing car from Cheng Yuan’s private garage, you will arrive there in less than 2 minutes.

When we arrived at the gymnasium, there were already a lot of employees inside for leisure and entertainment, either playing ball, or gathering together to chat and play poker or chess.

This is also impossible. Since Cheng Yuan popularized robots in the company, some physical and technical tasks, such as welding workers in factories and cleaning workers in the company, have almost been replaced by robots. Almost all the newly recruited administrative staff have switched to other jobs, such as doing sales, providing external consulting services and technical support, and so on.

Since the company has just started to produce new types of passenger cars, the output is not large, and the supply is almost in short supply. Therefore, whether it is sales or consulting services, there is a lot of free time.The company's management of people is relatively loose, and it never imposes any requirements on these people, so these people coming to work are almost equivalent to coming to play.

Of course, although robots have greatly liberated productivity and many things do not require humans to operate, this does not mean that these people can slack off.After all, some things, such as providing consulting services to customers, providing external technical support, and sales, have to be done by humans. Robots are so rigid that it is difficult to do this kind of dealing with humans.

Whether it is Cheng Yuan or Liang Hua, they are not managers who want to train employees to become wolves. It is unnecessary to ask employees to work hard.

In fact, the current situation of the company can be viewed as a normal company.There are a little too many idlers, and Chengyuan insists on supporting these old employees, so Liang Hua has no opinion. After all, with the company's current profitability, it is really as simple as pulling out these idlers.

The boss above has no opinion, and the people below naturally have no opinion.However, because the company itself has very strict rules and regulations, and cameras are spread all over the company, it can be said that there are no dead ends, so although these employees have begun to become lazy.But when I am at work, I am still very serious and dare not be a little sloppy. Only when I am in the entertainment area and sports area can I really relax and play to pass the time.

The sudden arrival of Cheng Yuan and Liang Hua immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even if they didn't pay attention, they would be reminded.So, everyone stopped at the same time, and began to look at Cheng Yuan and Liang Hua restrainedly, like a child who has made a mistake.

See their reaction.Noticing that the atmosphere had suddenly cooled down, Cheng Yuan smiled slightly, waved his hand, and broke the dull atmosphere by speaking first: "It's okay. You keep playing, we're here to play too."

After saying this, the others hesitated.Finding that Cheng Yuan and Liang Hua walked into a table tennis hall that looked like a glass room without hesitation, they were really relieved and continued to start their respective careers.

Immediately after Cheng Yuan and Liang Hua entered the table tennis hall, a young and beautiful young woman in sportswear walked over with a swaying posture: "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Liang, do you want to play table tennis?"

"Yes." Cheng Yuan smiled at the other party, "Why, can't it?"

"Of course not." The woman covered her mouth with a chuckle before saying, "I'm just curious, come and have a look."

"Curiosity? What are you curious about?" Cheng Yuan was a little confused instead.

"I'm curious about what our President Cheng is like." The woman said with a smile, "I have been in the company for almost three months, and I have never met President Cheng up close. This time, my dream has come true. If you go out in the future, you will have the capital to brag to others."

"Hahaha." When she said this, Cheng Yuan immediately laughed, "Interesting, by the way, what's your name? What do you do here? You can talk so well?"

"This is a deputy manager of the public relations department, named Wu Qiaoqiao." Liang Hua pursed his lips and introduced in advance, "Don't be fooled by her appearance. Although she looks young, she is already two years old. The child's mother is gone, so if you want to pick up a girl, you are looking for the wrong one. In addition, she is the best in public relations, and I paid a lot of money to find her."

"Oh, Mr. Liang is really serious, and he will expose his old background." Wu Qiaoqiao covered her mouth and smiled, "It's rare to be able to talk to the big boss at close range, and maybe he will be spotted by the big boss in the future. Right now, his mistress and third wife Milk or something, now, you've messed everything up."

Smiling slightly, Cheng Yuan didn't want to continue playing with Wu Qiaoqiao, and instead said: "By the way, Manager Wu, do you often come here to play?"

"That's right." Wu Qiaoqiao nodded, "Working in this company is very leisurely. If I don't come here to have some fun, where else can I go? I have only been here for one day, and I come here to report every day. Well, so Said, I'm not so much the deputy manager of the public relations department, but rather the instructor of the recreation center. Mr. Cheng, I haven't seen you come to play before, and I probably don't know much about this place. If there is something you don't understand, ask I'll do."

"I don't know if you don't tell me, so the employees in my company are so leisurely." Cheng Yuan sighed.

"Well, you are right." Wu Qiaoqiao nodded, "At present, this place is very suitable for retirement, but it is not suitable for young people like me who have ideals and revenge."

"In that case, why are you still in the company?" Cheng Yuan asked with great interest.

"Of course I believe in the company." Wu Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "I believe that this kind of laziness is only temporary. With our company's strength and technology, sooner or later we will show our strengths. I am With this expectation, I didn’t leave, otherwise, if I come to the company all day just to drink tea, watch the news and play poker, I can’t bear it.”

"Thank you for your confidence in the company." Cheng Yuan smiled and nodded.

"That's necessary." Wu Qiaoqiao squinted at Cheng Yuan and continued, "Would you like me to play a game with you? I'm not good at table tennis, so you can let me do it."

"Okay, Qiaoqiao, don't tease us Mr. Cheng, he is not your opponent." Liang Hua said with a smile at this time, "We will have important guests coming later, you go to your business first."

"That's good." Wu Qiaoqiao spread her hands helplessly.Then he said, "How about I order you some food and drink, what do you want?"

"This is the job of a waiter." Cheng Yuan said with a smile, "I remember there are robot waiters here."

"Robots are so rigid, there is no one to talk to, so usually we go shopping by ourselves, and we don't call robot waiters." Wu Qiaoqiao said, "Mr. Cheng, there are robots everywhere here. It was weird at first. Yes, but now, I have gradually adapted. Well, I always feel that the capabilities of these robots are nothing to say, but they are machines after all. In a company, it is better to have more popularity, not always for profit Significantly reduce human employees. You know, go to parties more. Get in touch with people more, chat with people face-to-face, and it’s completely different from being bored in a room with a person and socializing online. What do you think?"

"I will consider what you said." Cheng Yuan nodded, his face becoming serious.

Seeing that Cheng Yuan listened to what she said, Wu Qiaoqiao said: "Then what do you want? Anyway, I am idle now. I will be a waiter for the two bosses."

"In that case, then...ladies first." Cheng Yuan turned to look at Liang Hua, "Mr. Liang, what do you want?"

"I want a cup of coffee, just a latte." Liang Hua shook his head helplessly.

"Then I'll drink water." Cheng Yuan said, "Just a bottle of mineral water. Well, when there are guests, I'll give you an extra pot of tea...By the way, Mr. Liang, what does Mayor Zhou like to drink?"

"Tie Guanyin is fine." Liang Hua said, "Mayor Zhou likes Tie Guanyin."

"Then bring a pot of Tieguanyin." Cheng Yuan immediately said to Wu Qiaoqiao, "By the way, bring in some snacks and fruits."

"Okay." Wu Qiaoqiao nodded, "It's all in mind, the two bosses sit down, and I'll go get ready."

After speaking, Wu Qiaoqiao left the table tennis room like a glass room.

After Wu Qiaoqiao left, Cheng Yuan said to Liang Hua, "This person is interesting. Are the people in the PR department always so active?"

"Not everyone is like her." Liang Hua smiled lightly, "Many people in the public relations department have their own characteristics, such as this Wu Qiaoqiao, who was born in sales and has always been known for her pungent personality. When you meet each other, do your best to take the initiative to win, and seize every opportunity, hehe, now that she has finally taken a fancy to you as a big boss, naturally you have to hurry over to say hello, and get acquainted first."

"Well, she is very aggressive." Cheng Yuan smiled lightly, "How many people like her are there in the company?"

"Not many, only two adults at most." Liang Hua smiled, "Not everyone likes the so-called achievement value. For most of them, being able to receive a high salary without having to work is the happiest thing. It just so happens that our company can meet this point, so many employees are relatively satisfied with their current lives. Only some young people, who hope to achieve something, will be dissatisfied with this lazy status quo, but they just Just like Wu Qiaoqiao, they all think this is temporary, and the company will grow stronger and stronger in the future, and then they will have their chance."

"Oh, that's not bad, you've got a keen eye."

"Sight-sighted? That's not enough." Liang Hua said, "Because anyone who is not blind knows the development potential of our company. After all, we have the right to manage nanomaterials and new intelligent robots. Even if we have a little Its own products have not been sold, and it is also a big company that makes people jealous just for resale trade. What's more, the conditions here are so good, if you are not satisfied here, you can only try your luck at a big foreign company. "

"Yeah." Cheng Yuan nodded, "What Wu Qiaoqiao said earlier is quite interesting. It is true that technology is changing with each passing day, but the communication between people is getting less and less. Just like me, I used to be an otaku. Migrant workers, there is only one friend who can really sit together, eat, drink, brag and fart, which, when you think about it, feels a little sad."

"You still have at least one friend, it's not too sad." Liang Hua said with a smile, "I know many people, especially those born in the [-]s like you, and some born in the [-]s, but the real one can eat together I don’t have any friends and spend all my time online, that’s the real tragedy.”

"Yes." Cheng Yuan sighed, "The development of science and technology has made transportation more and more convenient. The whole earth is like a village. It is said that this should make people communicate more closely. Why do people communicate with each other now? Is the gap between them getting heavier and heavier? Think about it, people nowadays. Many of them have lived in the opposite door for five or six years, and they don’t know who lives next door, what their last name is, and it’s not bad if they can nod and say hello when they see each other. .”

"It may be because of pressure." Liang Hua said, "Although technology has developed and new things are constantly emerging, the pressure on young people is also increasing day by day. This pressure is not only life pressure, but also emotional pressure. While human beings bring convenience, it also gives us a strong sense of dependence, so that once many people leave modern cities and the Internet, they will no longer be able to survive.”

"I think we need to pay more attention to this point in our new smart city plan." Cheng Yuan said, "We can't just focus on the so-called harmonious coexistence between people and nature in the city, but also pay attention to the harmonious coexistence between people. Well, How about this? In the future, various gatherings will be held regularly in the urban community, such as eating and singing, sports, dance performances, outdoor excursions, etc., so that everyone can come out of their homes, how about it?"

"It's a good idea, but the person involved must be willing to participate." Liang Hua shook his head.

"No. You don't understand what I mean." Cheng Yuan said, "I used to be an otaku, I know that feeling. The reason why I didn't go out to participate in community activities is because I usually don't care about the bulletin boards in the community. I don’t know; the second is that there are too few activities suitable for me. After all, many community activities are things that aunts like, such as square dancing, which are not suitable for young people. So, if we install it in every household, it can receive video information videophone, and then regularly arrange activities in each residential area, and notify each household of the content and timetable of the activities. At the same time, the activities are also held separately according to the characteristics of the elderly, middle-aged and young. In this way, I believe that Let people come out, go out and meet more people.”

"Videophone? Is it necessary? Can't you send text messages directly?"

"Mobile phone text messages are often ignored as spam messages." Cheng Yuan shook his head, "Besides, many things are different from watching content on the phone at home. When I see information about an event to be held, I am usually not very interested in it, but if I see a detailed introduction on the video intercom at home, I will generally be interested.”

In this way, the two chatted back and forth, gradually turning the topic to Smart City, but they forgot their original purpose, and became talking about work in the table tennis room instead of playing to relax and wait for others.

Soon, Wu Qiaoqiao brought the things in. Seeing the lively conversation between Mr. Cheng and Mr. Liang, he also familiarized himself with it and put forward a lot of good opinions.

Everyone just chatted and chatted like this, taking notes while chatting, and jotted down some key points of the conversation. Time passed quickly, until Liang Hua's phone rang, and Liang Hua answered the phone, only then did he know that he Mayor Zhou has arrived.

"Since the rightful owner has arrived, I think we'd better meet him in person." Cheng Yuan stood up on his own initiative, "Although the deputy mayor is nothing to me, it's still an attitude anyway, isn't it?"

"Okay, that's what I was going to say." Liang Hua nodded with a smile, "It would be great if you could say that."

"What about me, can I go with you?" Wu Qiaoqiao pointed to herself, "I'm in the PR department, and I'm in charge of dealing with people. Take me with you, okay?"

After seeing Cheng Yuan nodding in agreement, Wu Qiaoqiao bowed her head slightly: "Thank you Mr. Cheng for giving me this opportunity."

"Okay, don't do this." Cheng Yuan smiled and waved his hand, "You still have to deal with our Mayor Zhou."

After finishing speaking, the group left the table tennis room, then the gymnasium, then took the balance car, left the office building, and arrived at the company gate.

When I came to the gate, I found that there were twice as many armed police soldiers standing guard twice. There were four people standing guard on both sides of the gate. They were all wearing steel helmets and loaded with live ammunition.

Seeing Cheng Yuan approaching, the four armed police soldiers on guard immediately saluted and gave Cheng Yuan enough face.

After nodding to the soldiers standing guard, Cheng Yuan walked out of the gate and stopped in front of a domestic car outside the gate. At this time, there were already three people standing outside the car, obviously Mayor Zhou and his party.

Although they are three strangers, it can be seen from the standing positions that the middle-aged thin man wearing glasses in the middle of the front must be the deputy mayor Zhou Huazhou, and the people on both sides of him wearing suits and ties are either Either his driver, or his secretary.

Sure enough, after Liang Hua's introduction in the middle, Cheng Yuan knew that the thin middle-aged man wearing glasses in the middle was Deputy Mayor Zhou himself.

After shaking hands vigorously, Deputy Mayor Zhou said half jokingly and half emotionally: "Mr. Cheng, you are amazing here. It is a military important place. Four armed policemen are required to stand guard, and no outsiders are allowed to enter. It is better than ours." The municipal party committee and the municipal government are all powerful.”

"Where is there." Cheng Yuan immediately followed with a smile, "They are just security guards in the factory area. As for the issue of the large number of guards, well, you know, I was attacked a while ago, so it is normal for them to be nervous .”

"Understood." Deputy Mayor Zhou nodded, "I've heard about you too. Hey, I never imagined that the Americans are so filthy that they would send killers to kill you. This is not only for you, but also for our country. Provocative! I believe the country will not just settle down like this."

"Hehe, I know." Cheng Yuan laughed and laughed, and pulled his hand back.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see Cheng Yuan's actions. He didn't have much interest in the so-called country.

"You two." At this time, Wu Qiaoqiao spoke in time, rekindling the somewhat cold atmosphere, "I don't think everyone should stand at the gate to reminisce about the past, and want to have a long talk. Say, are you going to talk here?"

"The girl is right." Zhou Hua smiled and nodded at Wu Qiaoqiao, and then looked at Cheng Yuan, "I almost forgot the business, Mr. Cheng, I am here this time to discuss the smart city plan with you. Yes, look..."

"Don't worry, we have all the materials ready." Cheng Yuan smiled, "Please, let's find a place to talk." (To be continued...)
