At 3:30 in the afternoon, I received a call from Zhao Liang. He told me that we would arrive at the station in about half an hour.
After receiving the news, I called Wang Yi and drove to the train station.
After parking the car at the train station, Wang Yi and I went to the exit and waited.
After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw Zhao Liang. He had also gained some weight, but I still recognized him at a glance.
I waved to him and shouted: "Zhao Liang, here."
Hearing my voice, Zhao Liang looked at me and walked towards me with a smile.
I looked around him, but I didn't see his wife Xiaoqing.
After he came to me, I asked him: "Why did you come alone?"
"It's just me!"
"Isn't your wife coming with you?"
Zhao Liang shook his head and said: "No, she still likes to be at home."
"Ask him to come with you. I've found a house for you."
"It's okay. She can stay with my parents at home."
Zhao Liang said, looked at Wang Yi beside me, and asked: "Brother Chen, is this your sister-in-law?"
I smiled and introduced: "No, her name is Wang Yi, the financial director of my company, and she is also my friend."
"Oh, hello." Zhao Liang took the initiative to say hello to Wang Yi.
Wang Yi responded with a smile. I took a suitcase from his hand and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to your place to settle down first."
After a brief exchange of greetings, I took Zhao Liang to the parking lot.
He put his luggage in the trunk of the car and drove him to the place he had found for him.
The place is not far from the company, and for convenience, it is a small two-bedroom apartment.
Because I always thought that he and his wife would come, I rented a two-bedroom apartment, which was more convenient.
After bringing Zhao Liang to his residence, I asked him: "How is it? Is the environment here not bad?"
Zhao Liang looked around the room and said, "Brother Chen, are you taking too much trouble? Besides, how can I live in such a big house by myself?"
I smiled and said: "It's okay, you can live in peace and don't be polite to me. If my brothers and sisters come over in the future, wouldn't it be more convenient?"
Wang Yi echoed: "Yes, you can stay here with peace of mind. It's close to the company. It only takes about ten minutes to walk."
"That's not bad, but it's too expensive."
I smiled sarcastically, patted his shoulder and said, "Zhao Liang, we are both old friends and classmates. Don't say such polite words. I will be asking you more in the future."
Zhao Liang nodded and then said: "Then take me to the company to have a look now."
"Okay, let's go."
Bringing Zhao Liang to the company, Zhao Liang sighed as soon as he entered the company: "Brother Chen, I didn't expect that you are developing so well now. The company is too big, right?"
I smiled and said, "Fortunately, now that you are here, it is the icing on the cake for us."
"Not bad, really good. It seems that our previous failure did not frustrate you."
"People become more courageous when faced with setbacks." I said with a smile.
Then, I took Zhao Liang around the company and then came to the programming department.
As soon as he arrived at the programming department, Zhao Liang couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Chen, you can do this! This is more professional than we have done before."
"The personnel and equipment are all ready, what's missing is your style."
As I said that, I took him to the office. After opening the door, I said to him: "This is your office. Take a look at what is missing. If there is anything missing, tell your assistant Xiao Luo and let him go."
arrange."
Ronaldinho also walked over and called me: "Mr. Chen."
I nodded and introduced her: "Xiao Luo, let me introduce to you. This is Zhao Liang, the new manager of your programming department."
"Hello, Mr. Zhao." Ronaldinho then nodded to Zhao Liang to express his goodwill.
"Haha, hello, what's your name?"
"My name is Luo Qian. If Mr. Zhao needs me to do anything, please feel free to tell me. My office is next door to yours."
"Okay, okay."
I then waved to Luo Qian and said, "Go and do your work first."
After Luo Qian walked away, Zhao Liang smiled and said to me: "Brother Chen, you are so kind to me! You even arranged an assistant for me."
"Isn't this also to make you worry-free?"
"It's so worry-free. Can you first tell me about the company's current software development situation?"
I nodded and said, "Come to my office later and we'll talk slowly."
"Don't wait until later. Go now. You've been so kind to me, so I'll get to work as soon as possible."
What I wanted was his efficiency, so I nodded and took him to my office.
I first told him the specific situation of the programming department, then told him about the current software development situation in detail, and finally showed him the data.
While he was looking at the data, I reprinted the plan.
I handed him the plan and said: "This is the project plan we made before, and now it is handed over to you. You can see what needs to be improved."
Zhao Liang took it, looked at it carefully, and then discussed it with me.
For a moment, I seemed to go back to when we started our business together, and we would have heated discussions about a link architecture or a certain set of C languages.
In fact, this is the real me. Even though I haven’t been exposed to this industry for so many years, once I do, I feel like a completely different person.
We will discuss each of the four steps of editing, compiling, connecting, and running.
This discussion time seemed to fly by very quickly, and before I knew it, it was time to get off work, but I was still having a heated discussion with Zhao Liang.
We changed the previous plan almost from start to finish. In fact, this was also the main purpose of calling him here.
Fortunately, it is only in the requirements development stage and has not really entered the system design stage.
The next task is heavy, in addition to system design, code development and unit testing are also required.
I gave almost all the power in the programming department to Zhao Liang, in order to make him more involved in software development.
After get off work, Zhao Liang first brought our revised plan back to the office, and then I took him outside to get the tubes done.
My name is not Wang Yi, so I can't call her on everything.
It can be regarded as a blessing for Zhao Liang. I haven't had a drink with him for a long time.
It was only after drinking that Zhao Liang confided the truth to me.
He told me that actually his wife didn't want him to come to Chengdu, so he came alone.
When I asked why, Zhao Liang sighed heavily and said, "Why else? She actually said, well, how should I put it?"
"You can say whatever you want, and you still want to see me outside!"
"Brother Chen, to be honest, my life was very bad after marrying her."
I was surprised and said, "Why? Isn't Xiaoqing pretty good?"
"Yes, she is good at everything. She prepares meals for me every day when I go home. She washes all my clothes and does housework without complaint. But"
Zhao Liang hesitated to speak, then picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.
