There are wide roads, not very tall buildings, and pedestrians coming and going in a hurry.
Except that the clothes of the residents here are more colorful, there are more letters on the T-shirts, and there is a sense of liveliness unique to this era, it seems to be no different from the ancient city.
"Our ancient city is not bad, with a population of over two million at its peak. When the state was reforming, the ancient city was actually the priority for the state capital. However, the basic industry was a little weaker, and the old industrial zone was basically on the verge of bankruptcy. In the end, it was
Changping came from behind"
Xia Qin said a few words casually, and seemed not to care about the state capital.
This can be regarded as a small pride of the people in the ancient city. As residents of the old city with a glorious history, they don't care much about the capital of a state.
This group of people came by bus. They got on the bus in the middle of the night, bang bang bang bang, and they didn't arrive until the morning. At this time, Lu Ping'an missed it very much, wondering if there would be a high-speed rail in this world.
"It's quite subtle. I thought it was a special case of the ancient city that there weren't many tall buildings, but I didn't expect it to be the same here."
Different from the high-rise buildings with dozens or dozens of floors in my memory, the most prosperous streets here often only have four or five floors, while ordinary residential buildings are mainly three or four floors.
Although each floor is obviously higher, judging from the result, there are no high-rise buildings as far as the eye can see.
"After an accident, it will be very troublesome, and evacuation will be extremely difficult. Do you still remember the lava maze in the shopping mall? Imagine if it was a building with more than ten floors."
In the beginning, if you build three or four floors, you will die or survive. If there are more than ten or dozens of floors, it is better to blast directly.
In areas with frequent disasters, high-rise buildings are naturally capped. A high-pollution incident in a thirty- or forty-storey building can directly drag hundreds of people into hell. For this reason alone, the world may never be able to survive forever.
There won’t be any landmark buildings that are too outrageous.
".So, what is that? The super monster building in front."
What Lu Ping'an was pointing at was a real skyscraper, with more than fifty floors just by counting.
It is still a ring shape, that is, the Tower of Babel is wide at the lower level and gradually narrows at the upper level.
It stands there and is very eye-catching, especially when there are only some three or four-story "little mushrooms" around.
"If the address is correct, this is the Changping Prefecture Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau, our destination."
"Captain Xia, have you been here before? Is it so outrageous?"
"I came here once two years ago. It's just an ordinary building, probably newly renovated."
When I actually walked in, I realized that it was really new. There was still the smell of paint on the walls, and there was a busy construction team on the side.
After asking the front desk, I learned that the construction started two months ago and was completed half a month ago. This kind of construction speed is obviously not a normal construction method.
In the lobby on the first floor, Lu Ping'an saw many residents from other areas, many of whom were queuing up to get their numbers.
As a special service team, a group of people took the express passage and spent more than an hour to complete everyone's procedures.
After we finished our work, we sat down together in the hall and chatted, and then we dispersed individually to take exams and so on. There was no need to act collectively.
This time, not only Lu Ping An but also the core personnel of several societies and half the special service team came. Who doesn’t want to take a chance? Even if the “license” may not be used in a lifetime, it is always impossible to try.
Losing money.
If it weren't for special circumstances and the current situation in the ancient city was relatively stable, such a large-scale request for leave would definitely not be approved. But in fact, the upper management of the Different Management Bureau also encouraged young captains like Xia Qin, hoping that they could pass the exam
.
After wandering around twice outside, buying some daily necessities, and deliberately wasting some time, Lu Ping'an reunited with Xia Qin, Maomao and the others, and then went to the hotel they agreed on.
I don’t live with other team members because it makes it easier to enter and exit the courtyard for final training and preparation.
"It's really an exaggeration. Most of our team are young people. About 70% to 80% of them are here this time. Many of them don't even have the qualifications to be a secret keeper and are planning to take the exam twice in a row."
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Guan Xinxian's voice.
When he walked in, he was chatting with two female classmates. Miss Lululu was tinkering with her potions, and Senior Sister Hua was also very interested in asking her seniors about the exam situation this time.
They also came to take the exam, but they only came to take the secret keeper qualification test. In their junior year, they turned their efforts to employment, which will be needed in small private companies in the future.
The two are also employees of a "subsidiary outsourced security company" at the trading location, but now the company is not officially listed, and they still focus on internal operations, training, and recruitment.
"Where are your people?"
"Jiu'an Hotel is not far away, a few blocks away. Let's come over and say hello. Do you want to have dinner together tonight? Let them meet this big boss?"
Miss Lu's words were partly joking, but also partly serious.
In a sense, Lu Ping An has indeed become their future employer, and the reason why it is the future is simply because the security company has not been officially established.
They have signed a cooperation agreement with the "trading place" and have become a long-term security force.
Miss Lu and the others did not come alone. Several sisters from the club and junior students also came together. Some came to take exams, and some came to travel and experience the scene.
Lu Ping'an is really their big boss, but the company has not been established and does not require payment.
Now, he is only providing him with training resources. Like Ba Manzhen and the others, Senior Sister Hua has also obtained the right to use the gymnasium, but she comes less frequently.
This is not because she is not eager to improve herself, or the practice here is not efficient, but because she was too busy before, poaching people to fill her club.
As the club's signature figure and top leader, he also has the "friendly and pleasant senior" BUFF, and all the recruiters come in person.
"No, we really have to wait until that day. Besides, after they graduate and become social workers from students, it's hard to say how many of them will stay in your company."
Although what he said was true, Lu Pingan was able to shut up Miss Lululu in anger with just one sentence, which was also a talent.
"Lu Ping'an, I helped you find the person you want. After contacting her, she is indeed interested in finding a club and is somewhat interested in exploring other worlds. But she has a very high vision. Can you convince her?
It depends on your ability."
"she?"
"Rou Lailai, a senior from the second year of junior high school, has been confirmed to stay in school. She is the treasure of the teachers of the Potions Department and is known as the alchemy and potion genius once every ten years. She is also here this time. This is her contact information."
Lu Pingan took the business card and nodded.
This is obviously a private effort by Miss Lululu and the others. He has entrusted many people to help him pay attention to outstanding alchemy and potion talents and carry out long-term private cooperation.
However, excellent potion masters are not worried about the market. On the contrary, the entry barrier is low, and there is a relative surplus of gardeners in the production department.
Many alchemists and potion masters have achieved each other's success, of course, the premise is that they are "well-matched".
As a gardener, Lu Pingan's reputation and strength are not outstanding. It is not difficult to find long-term collaborators, but it is really difficult to find a top talent who at least has the potential to become a top talent.
"How did you convince her?" Lu Ping'an has a lot of bargaining chips, but they are not suitable to be disclosed to outsiders, and recruitment is also very troublesome.
Sign a confidentiality agreement? There are too many contract scams these days. It is not easy to get a potion master to sign a confidentiality agreement. It is impossible for Lu Ping'an to find someone to sign a contract when he sees an excellent alchemist, and then bring him into the trading place no matter how small the contract is.
Seriously, that's always a safety hazard.
"Xiaoxue used her reputation to guarantee that she would never let the other party down." Miss Lululu said angrily.
So that’s it, is it a personal relationship?
Lu Pingan nodded, writing down this feeling.
But the most urgent task is not that senior sister, but two outsourced employees
"Actually, even if you don't come, I still want to talk to you."
Lu Pingan paused and sorted out his words.
"You should have noticed that the trading place and the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce will start to expand their business scope to foreign travel. This seems to conflict with your security company's local development trend. I can ask why you are so stubborn on the local area. Why?
Have you always wanted to go it alone?”
Although it always feels a little premature to discuss life plans, but for the sake of long-term cooperation, it is better to talk things through early.
When there are differences in the development of the two societies, they will either part ways or compromise with one party. Lu Ping'an must know why the other party is determined to smuggle people.
The two women looked at each other, and finally nodded and spoke.
