Chapter 989 Monster Village
2014, October.
Lan's Technology Group Headquarters, 19th Floor.
A woman in business attire and good temperament walked into an office and said with a smile: "After several rainy days, it finally cleared up today. I'm so happy. How did you get here? By bus, subway, taxi, or by bike or on foot?"
There were three men and three women sitting in the office, all dressed in formal attire, looking a little reserved and nervous. When they saw the visitor, they looked at each other, stood up and said, "I'm taking a taxi."
"Subway..." After the six people responded one by one, a man in his thirties asked, "What's your name?"
"Lin Xi, my age should be about the same as all of you. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Lin, or just call me by my name."
The woman smiled and said, "I think you have come to the wrong place. You are all here to apply for the position of assistant to Mr. Qi Xing, the secretary of the chairman. What advantages do you think you have in this position?"
The man in his thirties smiled and said, "Sister Lin, is this already an interview?"
"Well, is it a preliminary assessment?" Lin Xi shrugged slightly to express his affirmation.
The man nodded and said, "I graduated from Capital University with a degree in office automation, and I have..."
Six people introduced themselves one by one. The ones with the lowest academic qualifications were all graduate students from Tsinghua University and Peking University. Most of them had worked in Fortune 500 companies at a young age, which made Lin Xi nod as she listened.
"You are all top students. Compared with you, my University of Tokyo is nothing."
"Sister Lin is from the University of Tokyo?"
"No, Northeastern University." Lin Xi smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down. "Education is not the only condition to prove ability. Lan's Technology is not short of highly educated employees. Tell me what you think of the assistant to the secretary? Why did Lan's Technology suddenly create such a position?"
The six people had obviously done enough homework. One of them spoke first, "I have done statistics. Since Lan's Technology officially listed the civilian mecha for sale in September last year, it has brought a total of 13 technological breakthroughs to the world and held 29 press conferences. Among them, the group's secretary Mr. Qi Xing attended and hosted 27 times, an average of nearly 4 times per month.
Of course, this may not be a very stressful job for Mr. Qi Xing, but at the same time, Mr. Qi Xing is also a scientific researcher, and these trivial matters take up too much of his energy, so he needs an assistant to help him complete some of the work.
I was a host on campus... After graduation, I joined Penguin and..."
The six people each showed off their talents, and one by one they added their understanding of the job they were about to interview for, and Lin Xi nodded repeatedly.
After the six people finished speaking, Lin Xi muttered, "Sure enough, I wasn't prepared enough, but now... it's almost there."
"...What? Sister Lin."
"It's okay." Lin Xi smiled brightly.
Just at this moment, there was a noise at the door, and another woman in professional attire walked in, counting the number of people and saying, "Well, are you all here? The interview has officially begun. Which one is Lin Xi? Please follow me."
"I am." Lin Xi nodded to the other six people naturally and said, "Wish me good luck."
When she walked out, the six people were so stunned that they could hardly hold back. What was going on? Was this a TV show? Would anyone dare to do this in real life?
I wasn't really angry, I just found it funny, but I felt heavy inside. The friendliness and competence of that "Sister Lin" were definitely trained in big occasions, she was a strong opponent!
Soon, their rival Lin Xi started talking in Ji Xing's office, talking about what she had learned from the six people.
Ji Xing seemed to be listening carefully, his hands casually tapping on the laptop in front of him. When Lin Xi finished speaking, he turned the laptop around, and the scene on the screen was exactly the surveillance footage in the waiting room!
Lin Xi was stunned, but not embarrassed, and said with a bright smile: "I added my own experience and summarized their things. I think this should be enough.
Secretary Qi, the main job of the assistant you need should be to summarize your speech, compile it into a manuscript and publish it on the company's website, or prepare a speech for you. In addition, a sunny and energetic appearance is also a necessary condition, after all, you have appeared on TV more times than the President of the United States. "
"Sunny and energetic?" Ji Xing asked.
Lin Xi opened her hands slightly, and there seemed to be a vibrant glow overflowing from her body: "I like the sun."
"Skin that white isn't very convincing." Ji Xing joked, "Okay, go get the pre-employment physical exam and come to work tomorrow."
"Uh... you passed it just like that?" Lin Xi was not happy but was stunned. "Although... I am very confident in myself, but if I pass it just like that, I will be a little sorry for the six competitors."
"The workplace is like a battlefield." Ji Xing smiled and said, "But don't worry, the group's Shancheng branch is under construction and is in need of people. As long as they are good enough, they will stay."
"Then I'm relieved." Lin Xi stood up and said goodbye: "See you tomorrow morning, Secretary Qi."
"Card out at nine, don't be late."
Lin Xi made an OK gesture and walked out of the door in a cool manner. She didn't look like she was facing her boss at all. She was so generous and unrestrained that it was a little exaggerated.
After getting the employment report and leaving the group building for a physical examination, Lin Xi, in a good mood, looked up at the sun. The sun was shining brightly, and ordinary people did not dare to look directly at the dazzling light, but Lin Xi did not care at all, and there was even a golden glow in his eyes.
The sunlight seemed to penetrate directly into her body, making her face look comfortable and lazy.
"It's not as troublesome and dangerous as Uncle Niu said. Isn't it easy to sneak into the Lan Technology Group? The next step is to determine the right time and person..."
The village won’t have to work so hard!
An hour later, in a secret laboratory, Aizen gently shook a tube of blood in his hand, which was drawn from Lin Xi during the physical examination, and felt the vigorous vitality and strength in the blood.
"Interesting, a very precious experimental subject was brought to me on my own initiative."
……
Over the next period of time, Lin Xi quickly integrated into the Lan Technology Group.
She seemed very unfamiliar with some of the work, but she had a strong learning ability and was able to do it in an orderly manner very quickly. More importantly, she had the ability to win everyone's favor.
She always has a smile on her face, as if nothing can affect her mood. She always laughs off the heavy workload and the challenges posed by company elders, and can infect many people with this emotion. Some colleagues even gave her a nickname - Little Sun.
After a month, she ended her internship and became a regular employee. At this time, something big but not small happened in the company.
A minor medical accident occurred in Baicheng, Jilin Province, where a disabled veteran experienced rejection failure when his artificial arm was connected.
Since the launch of this technology, Lan's Technology has helped tens of thousands of disabled people return to normal life. This first "failure" naturally attracted widespread attention.
Because the damage caused is small and this has always been a semi-charitable project, the negative impact is small, but many disabled people waiting in line have expressed concerns about this.
After a year of eager anticipation, it would be very devastating if this technology had any hidden dangers.
Lan's Technology attached great importance to this and dispatched two experts, accompanied by Ji Xing himself. As an assistant, Lin Xi naturally followed by his side. This was her first business trip since she joined the company.
Because the two experts are quite old, they cannot travel by mecha, but instead take a plane to Baicheng Chang'an Airport.
After getting off the plane, the agreed airport pick-up staff brought them a business car. The two experts sat in the back seat, Ji Xing sat in the co-pilot, and Lin Xi drove to the medical center.
It was already night, and even though they were in business class, the two experts quickly fell asleep from exhaustion. Ji Xing tilted his head to look at Lin Xi, and seeing that she was humming a tune with great energy, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You are really full of energy, Lin Xi, and you seem to be in a good mood along the way. Well, you have been like this all the time."
Lin Xi smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth: "I am in my hometown, of course I feel better."
"Hometown? Oh, yes, I forgot. You wrote in your resume that you are from Baicheng." Ji Xing smiled and said, "No wonder you didn't turn on the navigation. You are familiar with this route. What a coincidence."
"Actually, I'm not that familiar with them." Lin Xi shook her head and said, "I was born in a small village at the foot of Changbai Mountain. When I was seven years old, my relatives took me here to go to school. I basically went between school and home and rarely traveled around."
"Don't take the wrong road then."
"Haha, no, how can a qualified assistant not do his homework before leaving?" Lin Xi laughed and said, "At most, he will just go around in a small circle."
After a joke, she looked at Ji Xing and brought up the topic again: "Speaking of Changbai Mountain, Secretary Qi, have you been there?"
"Yes, twice."
But it was before the time travel, and it was not in this world. Ji Xing said: "I didn't even see the Tianchi."
"That's a pity." Lin Xi shook her head and suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "When you went there...didn't you find any traces of monsters?"
"...Monster? What is that?" Ji Xing said with a smile, "There is no such creature."
"Of course there are. Since there are so many superheroes, there must be monsters!" Lin Xi said firmly, "If there are people with superpowers, there must be animals with superpowers. If such animals can talk, then wouldn't they be monsters in the story?"
Ji Xing thought about it and nodded: "What you said makes sense... Have you ever seen a monster?"
"...I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it. I may have come into close contact with it when I was a child, but I didn't notice it." Lin Xi said, "There were many legends about monsters in the village where I lived when I was a child. There were people with bull heads, people who could uproot a tree, and even more terrifying people with spider legs and human bodies..."
She was very talkative about this, but after telling a story, she smiled at Ji Xing sheepishly, "Maybe it's just a legend. The more you spread it, the more it becomes true.
If there really are monsters, they cannot be hidden from the country. The country should have organized an army or a mecha corps to clean them up long ago."
"That may not be the case." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Even if there are monsters, they can be divided into good monsters and bad monsters. Bad monsters should be eliminated, but if they are good monsters, let them live their own lives."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "You are such a good person, Secretary Qi. When I was in school, those boys heard me tell these stories, but they all said something like 'If you are not of my race, your heart must be different'."
"They don't necessarily have bad intentions, they just happen to be at the age of middle school."
Ji Xing said: "Speaking of monsters, those aliens look like monsters in our eyes. Shouldn't we cooperate with them?"
"Oh, right, aliens!" Lin Xi's eyes lit up and he said, "Secretary Qi, you were on the battlefield when the aliens invaded last year, right? Can you tell me what those aliens look like?"
"They..."
Half an hour passed unknowingly during the chat, and the car slowly drove into the city center. Seeing Ji Xing yawning, Lin Xi said, "We will be there in half an hour. Secretary Qi, take advantage of the time to get some sleep. You will be busy tonight. Don't worry, I'm very excited now and I won't be sleepy!"
Ji Xing looked at her as if to confirm, nodded and closed his eyes: "Call me when you get there."
"Okay." Lin Xi responded and turned down the volume of the car music. She glanced at Ji Xing out of the corner of her eye and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Secretary Qi turned out to be such a 'good guy', it seems there is a great chance of success this time.
A light emanated quietly from her body and penetrated into the bodies of Ji Xing and the two experts in the back seat. The temperature environment in the car became more comfortable, so the three people in the car slept more soundly.
Then, at the intersection ahead, Lin Xi suddenly turned a corner and drove onto an unfamiliar road, while picking up the phone and saying, "Yes, I am Lin Xi, the assistant of Secretary Qi. The two experts are old and too tired to travel. If the situation over there is not serious, Secretary Qi hopes to let them rest for a night.
Yes, that's right... OK, please come and comfort the patient's family, yes, OK."
After hanging up the phone, the car headed southwest.
A night passed quietly, and the three people who wanted to take a nap in the car actually slept until now, and the car finally stopped slowly.
Lin Xi unbuckled his seat belt, stretched heavily, looked at Ji Xing who was sleeping with his head tilted, groped his hand around his waist, quickly untied the mecha belt that Ji Xing was wearing, then put his hand to Ji Xing's ear and snapped his fingers.
Snapped--
As if it was some kind of signal, Ji Xing opened his sleepy eyes and muttered, "Are we there yet?"
The next moment, he seemed to come back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Huh? Why is it dawn?!"
He turned his head to look out the window, and lush trees appeared in his eyes. The neat asphalt road turned into gurgling yellow sand and gravel, and he unknowingly arrived at the foot of a high mountain.
"I'm sorry, Secretary Qi, for bringing you to my house in this way." Lin Xi said apologetically, "Welcome to the Monster Village."
Monster Village? Ji Xing looked ahead and saw a very desolate village with houses lined up a hundred meters away, but there was also smoke rising from the kitchen in the early morning.
"Wow, this is really good."
