"This is probably the last gathering before the New Year. Come, let's wish each other a better and better year." Bai Song raised his glass, using water instead of wine.
All the people attending today's gathering were Bai Song's good friends, including his roommates Zheng Chaopei, Li Zheng, Yang Meiluo and others. Of course, Zhou Xuan and others also came.
Basically they are students from the class of 2007.
"I heard that things aren't going well for you guys at work lately?" Lin Yu asked, sitting next to Bai Song.
"It's so difficult to work in the Criminal Investigation Bureau. I only realized after coming here that your previous job was actually more comfortable than your current one." Bai Song sighed.
Lin Yu was initially in charge of police dog work at the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and he knew some police dog bases in various places. When Bai Song went to Xiangnan, it was Lin Yu who helped him contact Huahua and Huahua who were borrowed from the police dog base. Later, Lin Yu left his original position and began to be in charge of criminal cases.
Speaking of which, Lin Yu's family is not an ordinary one, but he has no say at work, so he can't help Bai Song with anything.
Thinking of this, Bai Song thought of Ji Yue again. Ji Yue’s life choice was to train dogs. In his world, dogs are far better than humans.
"I'll give you an idea," Lin Yu said, "You still have to go and talk to Director Li. Don't be shy. Director Li has a good temper and he's an old director. He must be a man of his trade."
There are only a few department-level and bureau-level officials in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, but there are a lot of division-level officials. However, the gap between them is very large, and Director Li can be considered to have a say.
"Well, next time there is a case that needs to be supervised, I have to take the initiative." Bai Song said: "This is what I am most familiar with."
"Wait a minute, what's going on?" Zheng Chaopei asked from the side, "Are you unhappy at work?"
"Not really." Bai Song shook his head. He didn't want to tell his friends about his troubles. "It's just that I can't use my strength."
"You guys are so capable, doesn't your company take you seriously?" Zheng Chaopei asked.
"There are many capable people here." Bai Song said.
"I don't believe it," Zheng Chaopei said. "If you're talking about people over 35 or 36, I can't say. But as for the younger generation, I don't believe anyone is more capable than you. You started from the grassroots level. Don't think I don't understand things in the system. I've been exposed to a lot of them."
"Don't say that." Bai Song said, "Let's not talk about this today. The New Year is coming soon. Let's eat some food."
"Let me say one more thing," Zheng Chaopei said, "In recent years, the world of the Internet has been in full swing. After several rounds of financing, my old man has made some money. I also plan to set up a media company and work closely with ByteDance. We are short of people and internal management. If you are having trouble, feel free to come to me."
In the second half of 2013, Zheng Chaopei sold a batch of Bitcoin and made a fortune. At that time, one Bitcoin was worth more than $1,000. In the past two years, the price has been very stable, at $200-400 per Bitcoin. He persuaded his father to use a large amount of funds to increase his holdings by 50,000 Bitcoins.
Zheng Chaopei's father was very supportive of this matter. In his father's words, 10 million dollars is not too much...
…
Facing his friend's olive branch, Bai Song shook his head: "I know your kindness is sincere, don't worry, how can I not get by?"
"Haha, that's right. There's no way you can't make it." Zheng Chaopei nodded.
Bai Song nodded, glanced at Wang Liang, and felt a little sad after all.
After this, Bai Song never mentioned the matter again and talked about something else. Since no one drank alcohol, everyone went home after dinner, and Bai Song prepared to send Xin Qiao back.
"If you want to do your thing, don't worry about me." Xinqiao squeezed Bai Song's hand: "You know, as long as you are fine, I don't care about anything else."
"Xinqiao..." Bai Song didn't know what to say: "I'm actually fine. I've only been here for a few days. I need to adapt to the new environment. I'm not that fragile."
"Is Wang Liang planning to resign?" Xinqiao asked.
"Hmm?" Bai Song was stunned for a moment: "Why do you say that?"
"I can see it from the expression on your face at that time." Xinqiao said softly.
"I feel that this is possible, but he didn't tell me." Bai Song said, "From the police station to where we are today, we have the best relationship. If he were to leave, he would tell me in advance."
"I know." Xin Qiao nodded slightly: "So, if he resigns, do you support him?"
"I support him. When he was in Tianhua, someone offered him an annual salary of 400,000 yuan," Bai Song said. "He is the right material. If he goes to Zheng Chaopei, he will be given at least twice the annual salary. Moreover, his criminal investigation experience will also be beneficial to the internal security management of the company. In this way, he will be qualified to settle down in Shangjing."
"If you go, will there be more people?" Xinqiao said jokingly.
"I won't know anything if I go there. Am I supposed to catch job-related crimes in the company? That's fine, but I have to work in a large company with tens of thousands of people to make a difference. A small company is useless. Job embezzlement in large private companies is also a headache." Bai Song is very self-aware: "Of course, that's not what I pursue."
"That's true," Xin Qiao nodded. "As for Wang Liang, I will not care about him if you don't care. As for you, I just hope you won't be in danger and stay safe. You are too young to work in a big organization, so we can't rush you."
"I'm fine." Bai Song suddenly felt relieved. "It's mainly because I've been here for more than a month. Sigh... there are some things I really can't say."
"Can't we just talk about it?" Xinqiao asked curiously.
Bai Song shook his head gently and pointed to the sky.
"I see." Xinqiao nodded secretly: "Some things really can't be said. You are not the same person as before. It is very restrictive for you. Have you ever considered becoming a teacher?"
"That's still early," Bai Song said with a smile, "After I turn 40, or even older, I can go to the police academy and become a teacher."
"When the time comes, you will receive the GWY special allowance." Xinqiao shook Baisong's arm: "Okay, don't be depressed. I feel bad for you when I see you like this in the past month."
"Ah?" Bai Song was a little embarrassed. Xin Qiao was different from other girls. Her ability to read people's expressions was so strong that she could see through Bai Song's subtle thoughts and ideas.
"Let's go. After 12 o'clock, there will be a Spring Festival movie premiere. I'll invite you to watch a movie. How about Uncle Benshan's "Happy New Year"?" Xinqiao said.
"Okay, it's just past nine o'clock, I'll take you somewhere." Bai Song said.
"You're taking me somewhere?" Xinqiao was a little surprised. Besides watching movies and shopping, what else can Baisong do?
"Well, come with me." Bai Song said.
"Let's go." Xinqiao skillfully took Bai Song's arm and followed Bai Song.
…
"Escape Room?" Xinqiao was a little curious when she saw this. She had seen it several times but had never played it.
"Well, I think this is quite relaxing. It is said to be the largest one in the whole north, and there are also competitions." Bai Song said.
"It looks really good." Xinqiao had seen a few of them before, but none of them were as big as this one.
This escape room is as big as a movie studio and there are many people playing it, mostly young people.
There are competitions here every day, and the room for each competition will be reset, with clues hidden or moved, so it is very difficult for people who have been here to play again.
"Let's go, let's choose the one with the multi-story secret room competition." Bai Song said.
"Are you sure you want to relax in a place like this?" Xinqiao felt the rules and his scalp tingled.
The cost of participating once is very high. This is the most expensive escape room here because it will be reset every time at the same difficulty.
"Yeah, it's relaxing." Bai Song shook his head: "But I haven't played it before."
"Brother, brother," Bai Song was queuing, and a few young men behind him said to Bai Song, "Brother, can you give me this seat? The one you chose is the most difficult. I just heard you say that you have never played it before. How about trying the beginner's one first? Otherwise, I don't know how long you will have to wait in line this time..."
"Is there only one place for this difficulty group?" Bai Song was a little confused: "And I have already booked the ticket."
This difficulty group is for 2-3 people to work together, and there are 3 locations in total.
"The other two groups just entered not long ago, and they probably won't be out for two hours... The one in front of you is about to exceed the time limit." One of the three young men said, "How about this, I'll pay more for your ticket. There's a really awesome guy in our team today, and we want to break the record."
"Record..." Bai Song looked at the record sheet. The fastest time to clear this level was 1 hour and 8 minutes. If he could break the record, not only would his ticket be refunded, but he would also receive a double reward. The first reward would be a limited edition doll worth over a thousand dollars, and the second was that if the record remained unbroken for a month, he could come here to participate in the design of a new secret room, which would be paid handsomely.
With such an operating mechanism, it’s no wonder that it’s so popular. Of course, this is only the reward for the highest difficulty, and other challenges don’t have such good treatment.
"Sorry," Bai Song said, "I brought my partner with me and wanted to give it a try."
"Okay then, we'll wait." One of the young men said no more, and it could be seen that he had a very high level of quality.
"Thank you for your understanding." Bai Song nodded, and then began to look through the rules, nodding frequently as he read.
These three young men are quite famous here. They are the previous record holders. This time they came to continue to break the record. Seeing Bai Song really reading the rules, they were a little speechless. This is really something they have never been to before...
However, since they had already greeted him, they were too embarrassed to continue talking about buying tickets. Bai Song looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, and generally speaking, his financial situation was better than these students, so they felt that adding more money would not attract Bai Song, so they could only wait.
The main reason is that Xinqiao looks so beautiful, and everyone subconsciously thinks Baisong is a rich second-generation.
What they didn't know was that if they really added three or five hundred, Bai Song would immediately give up his ticket...
After looking at the rules, Bai Song understood that this was a multi-layered secret room that had to be cracked layer by layer, but the clues and materials in the front room might also be the key evidence to the back room.
There is a very troublesome problem here, that is, there will be a large number of numbers, but no pen and paper. In addition, each time you go to the next secret room, you are only allowed to bring three things except the key, and you cannot go back.
There is a certain chance that you may not bring the key item to the next room, so you can only give up. But there is a hidden hint here, that is, in fact, each room must have a key to the next room, but if you bring the key item from the previous room, it will reduce the difficulty. If you don't bring it, it will be very difficult, but in theory you can still pass it.
Bai Song looks so novel...
If this isn’t entertainment, what is?
"Look at this poster," Xinqiao said, "In this introduction, the pass code lock for the next level is one of the numbers on the wall of the previous level. The most important thing is that you don't know which number in the first level is valuable until you reach the second level. Isn't this cheating?"
"There are some patterns, but it's not difficult to write them all down." Bai Song said.
"What a joke..." Xinqiao sighed.
At this time, the young man with a slightly bad temper among the three interrupted and said, "Brother, I still have to give you a suggestion. This is really very difficult. Bring your partner here to experience the horror atmosphere of an ordinary escape room. Really, this is from the bottom of my heart."
"Thank you..." Bai Song was simply polite. He was not interested in talking more with these people.
At this time, many people had already gathered around.
These three people were the record holders last time, and they want to break the record again this time. Many people want to see more of it. After all, some of it can be broadcasted, of course, with the permission of the participants.
Many young people are willing to be broadcast live, and they have a strong desire to show themselves.
Bai Song naturally has no interest in this area, he just plays by himself.
In general, the three of them are quite well-mannered, but the situation is different for the onlookers. Many people want to see how these three people pass the level, and don’t want to watch Bai Song just play, so rumors started spreading. The meaning is very clear, and they hope that Bai Song and the other two will give up when they see difficulty.
Gradually, sarcasm and ridicule began to spread. Some people even said that Bai Song wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of this beauty. Anyway, unpleasant words gradually spread.
Bai Song can allow others to talk about him, but he cannot allow others to talk about Xin Qiao. At this time, the previous participant exceeded the time limit and was taken out. Someone came to Bai Song and said, "You have to wait for ten minutes. The scene needs ten minutes to rearrange. Please confirm the participation method and some specific circumstances, and sign the waiver agreement."
"I choose to broadcast live," Bai Song said, "the whole process."
"Okay, please sign."
Bai Song said that live broadcast would be open, which actually aroused the interest of many onlookers. Simply put, everyone came to watch the fun, and even if Bai Song and the other person embarrassed themselves, everyone still liked to watch it.
If the live broadcast is not open, Bai Song and his partner will play by themselves, and who knows what they are playing? The previous ridicule was mainly directed at this. Everyone felt that Bai Song would never allow others to watch them.
Sometimes other challengers don’t want their secrets to be known, so the live broadcast may not be on all the time. So when Bai Song said this, hundreds of people came to watch the live broadcast - mainly because the girl was really beautiful...
