Chapter 515: Surprisingly Useful
It happened so fast that they didn't even know what was going on, and the strange silver light disappeared.
It was Lenny who reacted the fastest, his eyes changed, and he hurriedly checked whether there was anything abnormal in his body secretly, and looked at Jiang Yan and asked in a deep voice, "My lord...... What do you mean?"
The other five people also looked at Jiang Yan with uncertain eyes, and they all instinctively noticed that the agreement they had just signed, as well as the strange silver light that had passed away in the blink of an eye before, were extraordinary.
"Don't you understand?" Jiang Yan smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.
Looking at Jiang Yan's action again, the faces of Lenny and Finn suddenly changed, and they subconsciously became vigilant and took two steps back away from Jiang Yan.
"Ha, do you need to be so vigilant about me?" Laughing, Jiang Yan shook his head, looked at them, raised his hand and pointed to his head: "Don't ask questions yet, digest the information in your mind first." ”
"You're ......!" Lenny was about to speak, but he was suddenly stunned, and the other five were in the same situation. Because, they were all startled by some information that suddenly came to their minds.
"Actually...... Is that so? We've really signed something amazing before we know it. After half a ring, it was Lenny who spoke first, he smiled a little helplessly, then looked at Jiang Yan in disbelief, pinched the paper agreement in his hand, and asked him: "Just signing your name can turn into a substantially binding contract force......?" Could it be a contract scroll made from the skin of a rumored high demon species?"
The extra information in his mind only explained the effect of the agreement they had just signed, which made Lenny and the others realize that this agreement and contract were not just words and play, and the others did not explain more, so Lenny asked.
This kind of contract, which is similar to a paper scroll, can have substantial binding power after signing and agreeing, and the only thing he has heard of is the demon contract made of the special sebum of the demon species.
"Not really. Jiang Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "But if you want to think of it as something similar, it's not a mistake." ”
Then, Jiang Yan's smile took on a hint of playfulness and asked, "What? Lenny, are you going to report me for colluding with the demon forces?"
"You're laughing. Lenny looked bitter, shook his head and said, "Aren't we who signed the contract just now no longer have the possibility of informing?"
Of course, he wanted to try to snitch if he could, but just like Lenny had just said, it was impossible after signing the contract just now.
Lenny's identity is a bit special, he actually has a special communicator in his pocket that can communicate directly with Lux, but he has secretly tried it just now, just at the same moment when he had the idea of wanting to tell the truth, his body was out of his control at the same time, and then, very strangely, even that thought involuntarily dissipated.
It wasn't until Lenny understood his situation and no longer had the idea of trying to snitch that he regained control of his own will.
And at this time, the feeling of being involuntary just now had secretly scared him out of a cold sweat, but his emotions were better concealed, so he didn't make a fool of himself in front of Jiang Yan.
Lenny glanced at the agreement in his hand again.
"What, do you want to try tearing the paper in your hand and see if you can break the contract?" Jiang Yan teased with a smile when he saw the change in his eyes.
Lenny smiled bitterly when he heard this, he was not so naïve.
The stack of agreements in his hand now is probably really just a pile of useless waste paper, and even if it is torn, it has no meaning.
Lenny secretly glanced at the other five people out of the corner of his eye, and found that they seemed to be the same as himself, his face was more or less pale and frightened at this moment, looking at Jiang Yan's eyes full of horror and awe, and there was a trace of anger and unwillingness in the eyes of some younger people, obviously, they were very dissatisfied with the new boss's secret tricks on themselves.
Especially Finn, he was the youngest of the six, and the anger in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yan at this moment was the strongest among the six.
"Don't look at me like that. Jiang Yan looked at the angry eyes of the six people, but he smiled leisurely without caring on his face: "Although the practice of concealing the contract is indeed a bit unkind, but if you want to blame, blame yourself for not being shrewd enough to detect the traps in the agreement......!"
Ignoring the six people who were even more angry because of his words, Jiang Yan looked at Lenny and asked playfully: "If I guessed correctly, Lenny, you senior bachelors are the eyeliner that the doctor planted here, right? ”
Hearing this, Lenny's face suddenly changed slightly, but because of the order Jiang Yan gave just now, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he could only open his mouth involuntarily and said honestly: "As you guessed, but you have a little misunderstanding, I am the only one who really acts as an eyeliner, and the other four people are all normally summoned by the doctor to really be your research assistant, and they have not received the doctor's secret order." ”
"Is that really the case?" Jiang Yan sneered, looked at one of the male researchers, and asked, "You, to tell you the truth, is your foundation clean?"
The male researcher's name was Dolu, and after hearing Jiang Yan's words, his face instantly turned a little pale, and he pursed his lips, but in the end, he couldn't hold back, just like Lenny just now, he quickly explained his bottom line: "No, I'm the eyeliner that Dr. Ferrug planted in the Eleventh Research Institute." ”
"Does Lux know your identity?" Jiang Yan asked again.
Doru replied honestly, "I don't think I know, this time I will be recruited by the doctor to your side, it should be a coincidence. ”
Dr. Ferrug, like Lukes, is ranked among the top "doctors" in the empire, and can be regarded as Lukes's peer rival, but the other party's background is different from Lukes's, and he belongs to a faction member of a certain great noble.
By the way, the technical achievements of the finished product of the military "Soul Breaking" Array that Jiang Yan shared with Lux before had a little conflict with this Dr. Ferrug - before Jiang Yan's "Soul Breaking" Array was published, the other party was the person in charge of this research project in the empire!
Moreover, it was almost to the point of success, but unfortunately Jiang Yan took the first step to come up with the finished product halfway, so that this technical achievement was preempted by Lux and Jiang Yan.
Obviously, as long as he waited a few more months, Ferrug would be able to complete the finished technology of the same military "Soul Breaking" Array, but he was one step too late!
Are you angry about this?
Well, by the way, as I said before, the finished technology of the military "Soul Breaker" magic array that Jiang Yan handed over to Lux was to directly copy the semi-finished technical data in a certain research institute of the empire with special abilities, and then use the unique advantages of his own sub-witty brains in calculations and experiments to improve the research of the magic array to the finished product stage.
And the object of Jiang Yan's material at that time...... Coincidentally, it was this Dr. Ferrug.
One can imagine how wonderful Dr. Ferrug's face would be after seeing the finished product technology that Lukes had preemptively published, and the technical data was very strangely similar to the semi-finished technology he was working on.
Is it really a coincidence? This Dr. Ferrug, whose own technological achievements were plagiarized, has now also inserted eyeliner into Lux's research institute, and this eyeliner happened to be sent to Jiang Yan's men, and he actually found the right owner by mistake.
It can be described as a cycle of cause and effect in the dark.
However, it is a pity for Dr. Ferruger that his eyeliner was directly recognized by Jiang Yan before he had time to play its due role.
"Oh, you see?" After Doru finished speaking, Jiang Yan shrugged his shoulders at Lenny, making Lenny's face a little ugly.
As Lux's specially arranged eyeliner to Jiang Yan's side, Lenny is obviously Lukes's henchman, and he is naturally loyal to Lux, so after knowing that there is actually an extra spy arranged by his master's rival by his side, in addition to being angry, he can only be glad, glad that the other party is now exposed.
Not only Lenny, but Finn and the others are also on the same position as him, after all, they are all companions in the same research institute, and they are naturally unanimous at this time.
Doru couldn't help but shrink his head in the face of the other five's pinprick-like gazes, and his face couldn't help but have a little dodge.
"Okay, I don't care what you did before, now that you're under my command, give me an honest and down-to-earth job. Jiang Yan clapped his hands, interrupting the stiff atmosphere between them, and after everyone looked over, he said, "So, do you have any other opinions on this?"
Opening their mouths, the crowd wanted to protest, but after thinking of the strange contract on their bodies, they didn't say anything in the end.
The agreement that Jiang Yan signed for them just now, because it was hidden in an ordinary paper contract agreement, they didn't pay too much attention to it, and directly regarded it as a normal corporate employment contract.
As a result, of course, they did not pay enough attention to some overlord clauses in the agreement.
For example, some clauses like this:
1. 'All personal and internal research materials of Jiang Yan, the boss, must be kept confidential'.
2. 'During the period of office, no act of betrayal of Jiang Yan shall be committed, and Jiang Yan's orders must be followed, and no disobedience shall be made."
3. 'We must fully cooperate with the research tasks set by Jiang Yan'.
Fourth, 'if he resigns, all memory information related to Jiang Yan's interests will be forcibly kept confidential'.
5. 'The term of employment is 30 years, and as long as Jiang Yan does not agree to do so, he is not allowed to leave without authorization'.
Six......
...... (N terms and conditions of the contract are omitted here......
These clauses, if viewed as just a contract agreement on paper, are not actually abnormal, right?
In particular, for Lenny and Doru, who have espionage missions, if it is just a simple paper agreement, they obviously will not take it to heart, after all, although they will act like compliance on the surface, they will definitely make small moves in secret.
- It's just a paper agreement anyway, as long as the espionage is not discovered, isn't it?
As a result, they are now pitted after the paper agreement has become a mysterious contract with substantial binding.
In particular, the second clause of the contract, which reads 'You must follow Jiang Yan's orders, and you can't disobey the yin and yang', originally in Lenny's opinion, they just followed the instructions of their boss at work, so they didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
Because, in a sense, the institutes of the empire are also military units, and the researchers are also equivalent to soldiers—there is nothing wrong with soldiers obeying orders from their superiors, right? If the other party has an unreasonable order, they will have to protest to the higher-level leaders.
There is also a fifth clause, 'no separation without Jiang Yan's consent', under normal circumstances, if Lenny and others are dissatisfied with Jiang Yan's boss, as long as they file a complaint with a higher superior, such as Lukes, this private employment relationship can also be forcibly terminated. As long as they are not slaves who have been sold, they can be protected by the relevant laws of the empire in this regard.
As a result, now, after these clauses have also become substantive contracts, it has become a big pit, or even a super sinkhole.
It's a deed of sale! It's a pact of sale that even the laws of the empire can't interfere with!
They had almost sold themselves cleanly, and now they had to obey Jiang Yan's orders.
"Come on, do you need to show such a bitter gourd face?" Seeing that his novices all showed a look of chagrin and remorse, Jiang Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "It's not that you will suffer a loss if you work under me! ”
"Hehe......" Lenny and the others laughed dryly, their eyes clearly revealing their distrust of Jiang Yan.
It's no wonder, after all, in order to let them down their guard and sign the contract agreement just now that there was a hidden trap, Jiang Yan didn't really turn the terms of the agreement into a 'permanent' deed of sale, but just let them work for themselves for thirty years.
Therefore, these people can only be regarded as temporary sub-machines in the "external network" for the time being, which is different from Jiang Yan's core team, and Jiang Yan's real secrets have not been revealed to them.
However, Jiang Yan didn't care much about this. Anyway, after thirty years, his power at that time will definitely develop to a different point than it used to be, and there will naturally be no shortage of this manpower at that time.
"Okay, let's get here today, and you'll come back tomorrow to start your research. Specific task arrangements and related information, and then there will naturally be a brain to assign to you. With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yan ordered these people to be evicted.
"Brainy?" Lenny and the others were a little puzzled when they heard this.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan's mind moved, and some necessary information was directly transmitted to their minds through the external network, and he activated the contract authority and issued several orders.
Half a minute later, Lenny and the others, who had digested some of the information that suddenly appeared in their minds, were more or less surprised, as if they had just gotten a new toy, and curiously tried the various functions of the "extranet platform" and the "smart brain".
"After you go back, you should familiarize yourself with the use of the "extranet platform", and if you don't understand it, ask the "smart brain"! In addition, don't forget to read the information you will use tomorrow carefully!"
After a few more words, Jiang Yan sent these people away, and then picked up the few agreements they had casually placed on the table, looked at the black and white words on them, and gradually, the corners of his mouth showed a hearty smile.
Originally, it was just a flash of inspiration, and the "Network Protocol" of the sub-machine contract was changed to a form of expression, but I didn't expect it to be unexpectedly easy to use when it was used to pit people...... "I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
