game trailblazer

Chapter 91 The New Bodyguard
With the arrival of administrative and financial personnel, the creative workshop officially began to operate, and Zhang Lexing got rid of the dilemma of a poor commander.After the company opened, the most important thing was to create good conditions for the development team to return.Zhang Lexing had also seen the seven houses that Xiao Donghai and Wan Lin had rented, and they could meet their short-term needs.As for the [-]-square-meter office, if there is only a development team of about [-] people, it is barely enough, but Zhang Lexing's ambition cannot be satisfied with such a small number of people, so the expansion of the office space is inevitable. In order to avoid having to find a place temporarily when needed in the future, after all, the decoration these days is not so environmentally friendly.

So Zhang Lexing made recent work arrangements: Xu Qian and Shen Guokang were responsible for purchasing furniture and supporting items, and arranging the houses used as staff dormitories; Yuan Jia was in charge of contacting the property management of Beihang Building, where the office is located, to negotiate the lease of the new office area Peng Jingyi is responsible for preparing a new round of recruitment plans; Chu Jing, Dong Xia and Chen Xiaowei are responsible for establishing the company's financial management system as soon as possible and purchasing office and development equipment; Xiao Donghai and Zhang Lexing's assistant Wang Mengyao are responsible for understanding Check if there is a company or team engaged in game development on BJ's side.

After arranging everyone's work, Zhang Lexing suddenly found that he was the most idle person, with people taking care of administrative and financial matters. As for the game development, he hadn't even come back yet, so it was useless to think about it.Zhang Lexing couldn't help but plan to go to other places to see. After all, Tianzhiyuan and Jinshan GM haven't been there for several years. Although the reported information has not been dropped, they have never seen it with their own eyes to understand it better.However, Zhang Lexing did not intend to go out alone. Generally speaking, the country is relatively safe, but it is not ruled out that there will be some unexpected situations.After experiencing the incident in Hong Kong, Zhang Lexing became much more careful than before, so he naturally thought of his comrade-in-arms that Li Taotao had mentioned.

He took out his address book, found the phone number left by Li Taotao, dialed the number on it, and after a few rings, the phone was connected.

"Hi, is that Brother Tao?"

"It's me, who are you?"

"I'm Zhang Lexing. I had a drink with Wang Bin two days ago."

"Oh, happy. How is it that BJ is still used to it? How is the company doing?"

"Brother Tao, everything is okay. Didn't you say last time that you have a comrade in arms who you want to introduce to me?"

"That's it, um, I've contacted that comrade-in-arms, and he's no longer working in the original unit. I'm afraid I'll have to go there in person to find him."

"That's it, brother Tao, if it's convenient, take me with you then."

"Okay, I plan to go this Sunday, if you're free, let's go together."

The weekend is here in a blink of an eye, early on Sunday morning, Zhang Lexing just got up for a while, and before he had time to go downstairs to have breakfast, Li Taotao's call came first.

"Lexing, have you had breakfast yet?"

"Brother Tao, I just woke up not long ago, and I'm thinking that I haven't had time to go yet."

"That's just right, I haven't eaten yet, let's go together later. Well, from my past, it will take about 10 minutes to arrive. Come to the gate of the community when you see that it's almost there."

After dawdling in the house for a few more minutes, Zhang Lexing went downstairs to the gate of the community. It was just after 06:30 in the morning. Except for a few people who came out to exercise, there were almost no people on the way.When he came to the gate of the community, Zhang Lexing noticed a black Santana car parked on the street not far from the gate. He took a closer look and found that it still had a police license plate. It slowly descended, revealing Li Taotao's distinctive face.

Li Taotao waved and shouted, "Hey, Lexing, come in."

"Brother Tao, it's really early for you." Zhang Lexing responded, opened the car door, sat in the co-pilot's seat, and then fastened the seat belt.

Li Taotao started the car and said casually: "It's a bit far away, don't go early, I'm afraid it will be too late to come back today."

The car goes along the third ring road until it turns to National Highway 106 near Yuquanying.At this time, not only the Beijing-Kaikai Expressway was still in the planning stage, but even the Yuquanying overpass had not yet been seen, so the speed of the car should not be too fast.Li Taotao's Santana police car got on National Highway 106 and drove southward. After entering Gu'an County, HEB Province, it diverted to the east again.The condition of the road is getting worse and worse, and finally turned into a country road full of loess. Fortunately, it has not rained in the past two days, otherwise the road would be difficult to walk.After passing through several villages along the way, Li Taotao's police car entered a county named Yongqing.

"Lexing, this Yongqing County is under the jurisdiction of LF City in HEB Province. Although it is small in size, it has a long history. It is said that a city was built here during the Eastern Han Dynasty." Li Taotao introduced while driving the car.

"It's really hard to imagine." Zhang Lexing didn't expect this small place in front of him to have such a background.

"It is said that during the Northern Song Dynasty, this was the buffer zone of the war between Song and Liao, so there are quite a few cultural relics and historical legends handed down. If you have time someday, let my comrade-in-arms Ma Guanghai take you around."

"Brother Tao, where are we going? To your comrade's house?"

"Yeah, he lives in the south of the city. When I first changed jobs, I heard that he worked as a driver in the small car class of the Civil Affairs Bureau. It seemed that the salary was pretty good. Later, I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, I knew where his home used to be. Li Taotao sighed: "Oh, I hope he didn't move."

The car drove south along the best road in the county. After passing several government offices, it turned into a narrow road next to it. It was not far away. The houses on both sides of the road were obviously much worse than the houses on both sides of the previous avenue. , Most of them are brick houses covered with moss.After driving for a while, the police car stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated brick house.

Li Taotao got out of the car, went to the brick house and took a closer look: "That's right, this is it."

Zhang Lexing also got out of the police car, stood beside Li Taotao, and looked at the house.This brick house looked very dilapidated, not only the walls were covered with colorful traces, but even the tiles on the roof were incomplete. Zhang Lexing wondered if there were still people living here.

Li Taotao stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a woman's voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"Sister-in-law, it's me, Taotao." Li Taotao replied.

With a creak, the door opened a little, revealing half of a woman's body, looking out carefully.

"Ah, Taotao is really here, come in quickly, come in quickly." The woman revealed a voice of surprise.

"Sister-in-law, is Brother Guanghai at home?"

"Guanghai went to set up a stall in the market, how about I call him."

"Sister-in-law, I don't want to trouble you anymore. Where does Brother Guanghai set up a stall? I'll go by myself."

"Two streets away from here, the bicycle repair stall in Guanghai should be easy to find. Well, Taotao, who is the one next to you?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, this is my friend Zhang Lexing." Li Taotao introduced to Zhang Lexing again: "Lexing, this is our sister-in-law He Xiujuan."

"Hello, sister-in-law Xiujuan." Zhang Lexing said hello.

He Xiujuan smiled shyly: "Le Xing, come and have a meal with Taotao later, and taste sister-in-law's cooking skills."

Zhang Lexing glanced at Li Taotao and saw that he nodded slightly, so he nodded in agreement.

The road to the market was not wide, so Li Taotao simply walked over instead of driving, and Zhang Lexing followed him to the market.After crossing two streets, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and there were still many people pushing bicycles in the middle. A road that was not spacious at first was full of people, and the market in Yongqing County had arrived.

"The latest Hong Kong and Taiwan music tapes, three yuan a box, five yuan two boxes..."

"The most popular foot trousers, 12 yuan a piece, 12 yuan a piece, the quantity is limited, if you want to buy it quickly..."

"Have a haircut, have a haircut, you have a clean wallet..."

The street was filled with all kinds of cries, Zhang Lexing followed behind Li Taotao, slowly pushing forward in the crowd, under the rising sun, the air was full of all kinds of strange things. the taste of.After squeezing forward for a while, I came to a place similar to a small square, and the street seemed much wider.Suddenly there was commotion in front, a young man walked quickly through the crowd, and shouts came from behind the young man: "Catch him, don't let him run away."

With a bang, the people around the young man dispersed as if avoiding the plague, and immediately gave way to him, and the young man ran even faster.Seeing the young man running faster and faster, suddenly a thin man stood up and stood in front of him.

"Get out of the way!" the young man roared viciously.

The thin man didn't make a sound, but silently stood in front of the young man, motionless.

"Damn it, you're courting death!" The young man took out a switchblade from his pocket, and roared more fiercely while gesturing.

The people around hid faster, and suddenly a large space was cleared in the middle of the small square, leaving only the young man and the thin man confronting each other.Seeing that the man in front of him was unmoved, the young man also panicked a little. He gritted his teeth, shouted, and rushed forward, stabbing forward with the switchblade in his hand.

The lean man turned aside to let the switchblade pass, and then grabbed and twisted it with his left hand. The young man let out a cry of pain, and the switchblade in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.The thin man turned around, pushed and sent, and the young man felt his body lighten, and he flew out like a cloud, and a big horse landed right in front of Li Taotao.The young man was still not convinced, and was about to get up to fight again, when he felt his back sinking, and all the strength in his body disappeared without a trace.

Li Taotao stepped on the young man, took a pair of handcuffs from his waist and threw them on the ground, then bent down and said with a sneer, "Be honest, put them on yourself."

The young man's head buzzed, knowing that he had been stumped this time, so he obediently picked up the handcuffs and put them on obediently.

Seeing that the young man was honest, Li Taotao removed his foot on his vest, then happily ran towards the strong man, and shouted from a distance: "Brother Guanghai, I haven't seen you for so long, Kung Fu!" It doesn't look like it's down at all."

The thin man also showed a happy expression when he saw Li Taotao: "Well, you Taotao, I haven't been here for so long, this time I have to have a good drink with my elder brother anyway."

At this time, Zhang Lexing was already shocked by the scene of the rabbit rising and the eagle falling. The Ma Guanghai in front of him seemed to be really good at kung fu, although he didn't know if he could compare with the man with the knife he had met before. But being a bodyguard or something should be more than enough.

Li Taotao stepped forward and gave Ma Guanghai a warm hug, exchanged some pleasantries, and then pulled Ma Guanghai to walk towards Zhang Le.

"Brother Guanghai, this is my friend Zhang Lexing. Lexing, this is the comrade-in-arms I mentioned to you, Ma Guanghai." Li Taotao introduced the two to each other.

"Brother Guanghai, hello!" Zhang Lexing stretched out his hand and shook Ma Guanghai's, the hard feeling in his hand was like holding a piece of iron.

Ma Guanghai smiled and nodded to Zhang Lexing, and then said to Li Taotao: "Taotao, wait for me for a while, I will close the stall, let's go back and have a meal together."

The kindness was hard to give up, so Zhang Lexing and Li Taotao had to wait for Ma Guanghai to clean up the stall, and then followed him back.On the way, Ma Guanghai said that it was rare for a friend to come to the door. He also cut some cooked meat and bought a bottle of wine, and then he led the two of them home with satisfaction.

When they arrived at Ma Guanghai's house, smoke was rising from the chimney on the roof, and it was estimated that He Xiujuan was busy preparing lunch.A child about five or six years old was looking out through the crack of the door. As soon as Ma Guanghai appeared at the door, the child ran out happily and hugged Ma Guanghai's leg.

"Daddy is back, daddy is back!" the child shouted happily.

Ma Guanghai touched the child's hair with his hands, and laughed at himself: "This child likes to cling to me, and he won't listen to anything I say."

Li Taotao squatted down and teased the child: "Xiaobao, I didn't see you when I first came here, where did you go to play?"

The child looked at Li Taotao timidly: "Uncle Tao, I...I..."

Zhang Lexing squatted down and looked at the child with great interest. The sudden stranger made the child nervous and hugged Ma Guanghai's legs even tighter, which made Zhang Lexing feel a sense of frustration.

At this time, He Xiujuan, who heard the commotion, came out of the house and saw the guests coming back, so she hurriedly greeted, "Don't stand there, come in, the food is almost ready." Then she took the cooked meat and Wine, turned and entered the house.

Several people sat at the dining table in the house for a while, He Xiujuan brought out some side dishes as if conjuring, then put the cooked meat on a plate and placed them on the dining table, took out three wine glasses, and said hello "I'm sorry, these are home-cooked dishes, please eat slowly." After speaking, he led the child into the back room and left the dinner table to Zhang Lexing and the others.

"Sister-in-law is too, why don't you eat together." Li Taotao sighed.

Ma Guanghai waved his hand and said, "Taotao, I know you must have something to do today, so you should be able to talk about it now."

Li Taotao looked at Zhang Lexing and winked.Zhang Lexing picked up a glass of wine: "Brother Guanghai, this is the first time we meet, let me toast you a glass", and then drank it down.

Ma Guanghai was also very happy, he didn't say much, and directly drank his cup.

"Brother Guanghai, I actually want to visit you today. I heard Brother Tao talk about you before, and I admire your ability very much."

Ma Guanghai's expression was very calm, he didn't say anything, he just picked up some food with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"But when I saw you today, I felt that I had a high regard for you before."

Hearing these words, Ma Guanghai stood up all of a sudden, his fists creaked, probably if it wasn't brought by Li Taotao, the fists might have been imprinted on Zhang Lexing's face.

"Brother Guanghai, as a man, he needs to take on the responsibilities of the family and work hard to create a better living environment for his family. But you seem to be satisfied with running a small car repair booth and being satisfied with the current situation. Barely subsisting. But have you ever thought that with your ability, you can have a better choice."

"Choice? I've thought about it too, but how can I have it now!" Ma Guanghai said with a wry smile.

"Brother Guanghai, if I give you a better job opportunity now, would you dare?"

"Why don't you dare." Ma Guanghai patted his chest, agreed without thinking, then suddenly came to his senses, looked at Li Taotao and said, "Taotao, it must be your kid's idea."

Li Taotao scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Guanghai, I just want to help you."

"Brother Guanghai, I was really sorry just now. Actually, I opened a company in BJ and wanted to hire a bodyguard and driver. Brother Tao recommended you to me, and I think you should do it. As for the salary, 1000 per month Two hundred yuan, double salary and bonus at the end of the year, if the performance is excellent, the salary will increase in the future."

Ma Guanghai was shocked, one thousand and two a month, which was almost as much as his hard-earned money for more than half a year, and it was even more than the leaders of the Civil Affairs Bureau he had worked in before, he couldn't believe it.

"Taotao, Lexing is telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. He's a big boss who came back from abroad."

"But the situation in my family..." Ma Guanghai sighed.

He Xiujuan suddenly came out from the back room, came to Ma Guanghai's side, held his hand and said, "Guanghai, don't worry, I'm at home."

"But you..." Ma Guanghai still hesitated.

Zhang Lexing took out a wad of money from his bag and handed it to Ma Guanghai: "Why don't you advance five months' salary of 6000 yuan, so that you don't have to worry too much about your family."

Ma Guanghai hesitated for a moment, but still took the stack of money, and said decisively: "Well, I will follow you from now on, boss. But I hope you can give me three days to settle the house well, and then I will Go straight to BJ."

"Okay, Brother Guanghai, we will be our own family from now on."

Zhang Lexing knew that Ma Guanghai would definitely agree, because Li Taotao said that Ma Guanghai's family conditions were not very good. There were four members of his family, including the old and the young, and it was all up to him to make money to support the family. can impress him.Now that Ma Guanghai agreed, Zhang Lexing was finally about to live the life of a car owner again, and he didn't need to wait for a taxi when he went out to do something, and looking at Ma Guanghai's skill, he didn't have to worry too much about his safety when he went out.
