Chapter 403 First Meeting with the State Capital
A spacious road, 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 freshness unique to this era, it seems to be no different from the ancient city.
".Our ancient city is not bad. At its peak, the population exceeded two million. Originally, when the state was reforming, the state capital was actually the ancient city, but the basic industry was a little weaker. The old industrial area was basically on the verge of bankruptcy. Changping came from behind”
Xia Qin said a few words casually, and seemed to disapprove of the state capital.
This can be regarded as a little pride of the people of the ancient city. As some 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 here by bus. They got on the bus in the middle of the night, and they didn't arrive until the morning. At this time, Lu Pingan missed it very much. I don't know if there will 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 were not 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 memory, the most prosperous streets here often have only four or five floors, while ordinary residential buildings are mainly three or four floors.
Although each floor is obviously raised, judging from the results, there are no high-rise buildings as far as the eye can see.
".It will be very troublesome after an accident, and the evacuation is extremely difficult. Do you remember the lava maze in the shopping mall? Imagine if it was a building with more than ten floors."
At the beginning, if you hit three or four floors, you would have to die or live. If there are more than ten or dozens of floors, it is better to blast directly.
In disaster-prone areas, high-rise buildings are naturally capped. A high-pollution incident in a 30- to 40-story building can directly drag hundreds of people into hell. For this reason alone, the world may never There will be no too outrageous landmarks.
".So, what's that? That super monster building up there"
What Lu Pingan was pointing at was a real skyscraper, with more than fifty floors just by counting.
It is still a ring, that is, the Tongtian Tower with the lower layer wide and the upper layer gradually narrowed.
It stands there, very eye-catching, especially when there are only some three- or four-layer "small mushrooms" around.
"...If the address is correct, this is Changping State General Bureau of Abnormal Affairs, our destination."
"Captain Xia, have you been here before? Is it so outrageous?"
"I came here two years ago, but the ordinary building may be newly built."
I really walked in, only to find that it was really new. There was still a smell of paint on the walls, and there was a busy construction team on the side.
After asking the front desk, I realized 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 outside the domain, and many people were queuing up to get their numbers.
As a special service team, a group of people took the fast track, and it took more than an hour to get everyone's procedures done.
After finishing the work, we sat down in the lobby and chatted together, and then dismissed the exams and so on, and there was no need to act as a group.
This time, it's not just Lu Ping'an who came here, but also a few core members of the community, half of the special service team is here, who doesn't want to take a chance, even if the "license" may not be used for the rest of his life, but trying is always not enough loss.
If it wasn't for the special circumstances, and the situation in the ancient city is relatively stable, such a large-scale request for leave would definitely not be approved. But in fact, the upper echelon of the Bureau of Abnormalities even encouraged young captains like Xia Qin, hoping that they would be able to pass the exam. .
After wandering around outside for a couple of times, buying some daily necessities, and wasting some time on purpose, Lu Pingan reunited with Xia Qin, Mao Mao and the others, and then went to the agreed upon hotel.
I didn't live with other team members because it was convenient to enter and exit the courtyard for final extra training and preparation.
"...It's really an exaggeration. Most of our team are young people. Seventy to eighty percent of them have come this time. Many of them don't even have the qualifications to keep secrets, so they plan to take the exam twice."
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Guan Xinxian's voice.
Walking in, he was chatting with two female classmates. Miss Lululu was tossing her potion, and Senior Hua was also very interested in asking senior seniors about the exam situation this time.
They also came to take the exam, but only to test the qualifications of the secret keeper. In the junior year, they turned all their efforts to employment, and later private small companies needed this.
The two are also employees of the "subsidiary outsourcing security company" in the trading place, but the company is not officially listed, and it still focuses on internal management, training, and recruitment.
"Where are your people?"
"Jiang'an Hotel, it's not far, just a few streets away, let's come over to say hello and go there, do you want to have dinner together in the evening? Let them meet this big boss?"
Miss Lu's words were three parts joking, but seven parts serious.
In a sense, Lu Pingan has indeed become their future employer, and the reason why it is the future is only because the security company has not been formally established.
They have already signed a cooperation agreement with the "trading place" and have become long-term hired security forces.
Ms. Lu and the others didn't come alone. Several sisters from the association, as well as juniors and juniors, also came together.
Lu Pingan is really their big boss, but the company has not been established and there is no need to pay.
Now, he is only providing resources for his cultivation. Sister Hua and Ba Man have also obtained the right to use the gymnasium just like them, but she comes less frequently.
It's not that she is not eager to improve herself, or that the practice here is not efficient, but that she was too busy before, busy digging people to fill her club.
As the club's signature character and top leader, there is also a "kind and pleasant senior sister" BUFF, and all kinds of recruiters are on the stage in person.
"No, let's wait until that day. Besides, after they graduate and change from students to social workers, it's hard to say how many people will stay in your company."
Although he was telling the truth, it was a talent for Lu Pingan to shut Miss Lululu angrily with one sentence.
"Lu Ping'an, I found the person you want, and I contacted her. She is indeed interested in finding a club, and she is also interested in exploring other worlds, but her vision is very high. Can you convince her, It's up to you."
"she?"
"Rou Lailai, the senior from the second year of research, has decided to stay in school. The treasure of the teachers of the potion department 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 of Miss Lululu and the others. He has entrusted many people, hoping that they will help him pay attention to outstanding alchemy and potion talents and carry out long-term private cooperation.
It's just that outstanding potion masters don't worry about the market. On the contrary, the entry threshold is relatively low, and there is a relative surplus of gardeners in the production department.
Many alchemists and potion masters have achieved each other, of course, the premise is that they are "rightly matched".
As a gardener, Lu Ping'an's reputation and strength are not outstanding. It is not difficult to find a long-term partner, but it is really difficult to find a top talent who has at least the potential to become a top talent.
"How did you convince her?" Lu Pingan had a lot of bargaining chips, but they were not suitable for revealing to outsiders, and it was very troublesome to recruit.
Sign a confidentiality agreement? There are too many contract scams these days. It is not easy for a potion master to sign a confidential contract. It is also impossible for Lu Pingan to find someone to sign a contract when he sees a good alchemist, and then bring him into the trading place. No matter how strict the contract is, it will always is a security risk.
"Xiaoxue guarantees with her reputation that she will never let the other party down." Miss Lululu said angrily.
Is that so, is it a personal relationship?
Lu Ping'an nodded, as if to write down this feeling.
But the most urgent task is not the senior sister, but the two outsourced employees
"Actually, even if you don't come, I still want to talk to you."
Lu Pingan paused for a moment, and sorted out his words.
"You should have seen it too. Next, the trading place and the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce will start the business scope of foreign travel. This seems to be in conflict with the development trend of your security company based on the local. I can ask why you are so stubborn on the local, why? Always wanted to go it alone?"
Although it always feels a little too early to discuss life plans, but for the sake of long-term cooperation in the future, it is better to say some things early.
When there are differences in the development of the two associations, they must either part ways, or compromise with one party. Lu Pingan must know why the other party is determined to take a personal line.
The two women looked at each other, and finally nodded and opened their mouths.
