Taking Xu Wanxue's car, Lin Mo finally arrived at his "home" in the city of Shenyang.
The location is located near the Kangtao headquarters in the center of the city, in an apartment building specially provided for company employees.
Due to the special nature of Xu Wanxue's position, as a person who was dispatched to Night City and returned here to report the situation, she was also arranged to stay on the upper floor of the building.
They live on the 63rd floor of a 65-story building, and the house is a three-story duplex structure with an outdoor small swimming pool on the balcony.
Although it is incomparable to the mansions in Night City, Shenyang is not a place where they can do anything they want. No matter how much money they have, it won't be of much use if they don't have connections here.
Being here for the first time and not familiar with the environment, Lin Mo couldn't think of anything to do.
He had to obediently put all his luggage at home, sit on the sofa in the living room and act as a good baby, watching Xu Wanxue transform into a mother and work for him, sort out his personal belongings, and then introduce the home to him.
environment of.
Liu Ruoying also threw her luggage everywhere, changed into a swimsuit, and threw herself into the swimming pool on the balcony, floating in the water like a dead fish.
When Lin Mo saw this, he also asked the reason, and then learned from Xu Wanxue that Liu Ruoying also wanted to take this opportunity to stay in Shenyang for a while, and the reason was to come here for further study.
And it is said that many relatives in her family work in Shenyang, and everyone has a high position.
Lin Mo was amazed by this intricate network of relationships and relatives.
It's right to say that no matter how chaotic Night City is, it is still an international metropolis to the outside world, and it is also located in the Americas. All companies with some international strength will set up branches there.
Moreover, the status of these branches will never be low.
As a result, Kangtao's internal management personnel sent to Night City are basically their own people. Coupled with the geographical advantage of "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away", the management personnel dispatched outside have certain qualifications even at the headquarters.
status person.
Liu Ruoying's father is one of the leaders of the Kangtao Night City branch. It's not surprising that he has some acquaintances and relatives here.
After all, this is a country where blood is thicker than water.
But since the swimming pool on the balcony was occupied by someone, Xu Wanxue immediately listed that area as a "no entry" restricted area.
Lin Mo had no choice but to wash himself in the bathroom, put on the pajamas prepared by Xu Wanxue, and planned to take a good sleep to adjust his biological clock.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he happened to see Xu Wanxue taking off her white research clothes and putting on going-out clothes, as if she was planning to go to a cocktail party.
"It's so late, do you still want to go out?" Lin Mo walked out of the bathroom, a little stunned, with the undried black hair on his head standing like a hedgehog.
"No way, work needs it. Didn't I tell you before? After that, I need to be responsible for the research projects of a smart weapon and Qianbi 5-type Si'an Westan. Now the official staff just let me
I went over to discuss the issue of financial subsidies..." Xu Wanxue said with a confused expression.
Lin Mo sighed quietly: "I bet these two research projects are hot potatoes..."
"It can't be said that if we successfully develop these two products, even if I can't get a promotion or salary increase, my voice in the headquarters will be greatly improved. Besides, our little gold-swallowing beast has become a little god of wealth.
You can't just lie at home and do nothing as a sister, right?" Xu Wanxue smiled softly, walked over and touched Lin Mo's wet hair.
"Hurry up and blow dry your hair. Don't stay up late tonight. If you have any questions, you can ask Ruoying and she will answer you."
Lin Mo rolled his eyes, lowered his head and thought for a while, then his expression became a little weird and asked:
"Are you going to have a drink during this discussion?"
"You must drink. After all, the wine table culture is the way of hospitality here..." Xu Wanxue sighed helplessly, looking to the side, as if she thought of something, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then said
:
"By the way, let me tell you an interesting story. When I participated in a drinking party for a similar reason, there happened to be a leader at the table. At that time, everyone wanted to get up and toast him, but only one minister did not get up, so
The leader asked him why, and what do you think the result was?"
"That minister is a powerful and unyielding person?" Lin Mo guessed.
"Wrong!" Xu Wanxue laughed heartily. In the past, Lin Mo always gave her the impression that she could guess everything, but now that he couldn't guess it, she felt a little proud.
"The answer is that the minister broke his legs due to a research accident, and he was relatively averse to prosthetics, so he could only attend the banquet in a wheelchair. You can guess what happened next. The leader drank too much
So I forgot about it." Xu Wanxue answered.
"No wonder..." Lin Mo smiled.
"The key is that people have asked, so you can't help but answer!" Xu Wanxue covered her mouth and suppressed a smile:
"Then the minister touched his wheelchair and said awkwardly: 'I drove today...'"
The corner of Lin Mo's mouth twitched, inexplicably thinking of a joke.
If Hawking came here to drink, I'm afraid he would have to say: Xiao Huo, I see you tilt your head even though you don't drink. Do you have a problem with me?
After a few jokes, the two continued to chat for a few more words. After saying everything that needed to be said, Xu Wanxue was ready to leave.
However, before leaving, Xu Wanxue seemed to have thought of something again, and Xu Wanxue suddenly turned back.
She led Lin Mo to a computer desk in the house, turned on the computer, and said while operating:
"I almost forgot to tell you. Didn't I say before that the intranet coverage here is relatively large? So compared to Night City, we actually have a lot of websites with Internet access here, as well as a lot of networking software.
"
Lin Mo stood behind Xu Wanxue, looking intently at the computer screen she was operating.
She skillfully clicked on it a few times and quickly opened a software interface.
Suddenly, a software interface similar to Tieba in his previous life appeared in front of him.
"Well, this is called Helping Others App. The post information listed above are the help posts sent by people in our province..." Xu Wanxue explained:
"Thanks to the development of network speed, now as long as you download this program software into the processor in your brain, you can become a 'helping messenger' at any time. The app will send you nearby help requests at any time, as long as you help complete them
, you can get a certain amount of remuneration... In a sense, this is a localized mercenary..."
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed and he saw countless posts flipping on the computer screen:
[Help: I urgently need a driver to take me to xxx location]
[Help: I urgently need a messenger to help me pack a dinner at the Passion Hotel]
[Help: I urgently need a master to play with me to relieve my boredom]
【......】
Looking at the content of the post in front of him, Lin Mo had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.
Isn’t this an upgraded version of the app that is a collection of food delivery software, ride-hailing software, and companionship software?
"This is really a very local style..." He laughed dryly a few times.
Xu Wanxue didn't hear the complaints in Lin Mo's words. She just flipped the screen and continued:
"Based on what I know about you, you are not a person who can live idle anyway. This is China after all. Don't cause any trouble for me. If you feel bored, just register an account on it and help others.
Do something."
Lin Mo sighed silently in his heart.
what is this?
The top mercenary returns to the city and I am a worker?
However, it was Xu Wanxue's hard work, and Lin Mo couldn't refuse, so he had to deal with it perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"If you are interested, just take your time and read it first. I really have to go out." Xu Wanxue left the computer desk, took her personal belongings and continued to give Lin Mo a few words, and finally left the house.
After confirming that Xu Wanxue had left, Lin Mo closed the door, walked to the computer desk and began to look at the app.
In fact, there is nothing interesting to see. After all, it is a [helping others app], not a [murder and arson] app. Mission delegations like those in Night City are absolutely unacceptable here.
Lin Mo looked around and was only interested in a few types of commissions.
For example, Mewtwo can play online, deliver food, etc.
The former allows him to relax physically and mentally, while the latter allows him to become familiar with Shenyang's urban environment as quickly as possible.
It seems that I have to live my life in a Buddhist way during these days.
