England, the southeastern tip of the island of Great Britain, the small city of Exeter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This summer has been a very busy season for Exeter, and for a small city with a peak population of less than 100,000, any investment of modest size is particularly eye-catching.

If you want to say that there is something in the recent news, the chic computer laboratory in the eastern suburbs has been favored by tourists this summer. Of course, because I heard that the laboratory had something to do with the British government's investment, ordinary people were of course forbidden to visit it, but in fact, although many people were interested in taking pictures of it, not many people really wanted to take the initiative to approach.

For a long time, the laboratory has been undergoing continuous earthwork work. The muck truck hit the road almost non-stop. It's a shame that this construction site is not near the city, otherwise I am afraid that many ordinary people would have complained endlessly, after all, there are many people in this city who are used to living a peaceful life, although it will be very fresh to have new enterprises and institutions settle in, but it can't disturb the people.

God knows exactly when this project will be completed, because it has been going on for half a year, and some old people are walking around the plains with nothing to do, and there is really an estimate of how many earth cubes the construction party has dug up. But considering that this kind of data is intermittent and not calculated from the beginning, the residents of the small town are also disagreeable about the scale of this underground project.

In addition, a new round of peer investment has also arrived. It's all laboratories, and just when the well-known Silicon Valley girl was building on the eastern outskirts of the city, a drilling rig company in West Germany actually set up a laboratory in Exeter.

For all sorts of inhumane reasons, the location of this laboratory is directly south of the computer building. There is a good east-west highway extending in all directions, and there is a pair of door gods stationed at the exit on the east side of the town. The previous laboratory with a bird's nest-like novel shape has not yet survived, and the construction of another project has begun one after another. For such a small city of 100,000 people, what could be more lively this summer?

"Mary, Mary, I swear to you, I really tried to apply. ”

In the community shop, Tom said to his fat and trembling girlfriend, "How could I not try to apply? You know I'm a bodybuilder, but their lab just won't hire people, what can I do?"

"Oh Tom, you just blow it. Mary sat at the cash register, counting the money, and said in a broken Scottish dialect: "Can you carry me on one shoulder, a great boy on the second floor, and you can't even find a job guarding the gate?

It's a peaceful day, and although it's autumn, Exeter's climate is as comfortable as late summer. But unfortunately, this comfort has nothing to do with Tom, because for some reasons that have to be said, Mary has been forcing him to find a job. And now the most likely to find, and the most able to save face for the family, is, of course, to work as a security guard in that beautiful laboratory.

"Oh Mary, dear, you can't be me. ”

Tom looked in the mirror, and the other man was six feet four inches tall, and the flesh on his arms was strong. However, that sturdiness is not the form of tendon flesh after all, and Tom's round face just reveals his essence.

"Security guards or something, how could they want a fat man like me? Do you see the security guards at their door now, I really doubt that they are all veterans, like me, who may be able to beat a class!"

"But you can try. Mary glanced disapprovingly at Tom, who had been married to this man for five years, and who still spoke in that crappy Scottish tone: "You're a man, don't you always sit here like a......?"

"Hey, Tom, I'm here again!"

Speaking of whomever arrived, a slender girl with short hair ran towards the store, and the letter "N" of "Mary" for "Tom & Mary" was about to disappear on the faded plaque.

"Oh, it's little Ada. Seeing that the little girl came to the door again, Tom immediately forgot about Shicai's unhappiness and greeted him happily: "What do you want to eat today? Tonim lollipop? or Haysh's fudge? I just got a batch of potato chips here, look at ......."

"Mmmm~" However, Ida shook her head, and the ten-year-old Asian girl said happily: "It's not sugar, Tom, Tom, you know, there's going to be a part-time job in the lab!"

What is it?

Of course, another industrial laboratory is also being built in the southeast, but the construction party will still be laying the foundation, but it is not a "part-time" thing to say in the short term.

And......

"Part-time!?" Sure enough, Tom sighed, Mary was very interested in the topic: "What part-time? Are they hiring security guards? Or is there a shortage of workers in the construction team? Is it a part-time job for Tom?"

The questions came a little suddenly, and Mary herself couldn't wait to lay them out. Good fellow, Tom sighed in his heart, his wife is a fat woman of two hundred and thirty pounds, and she is really not good, and little Ada took several steps back.

"That ......" Ida was a little confused, the part-time job she was talking about was indeed for Brother Tom, yes, but what happened to Aunt Mary being so excited?

"What that!?" But seeing that Ada was a little speechless, Mary's voice suddenly raised: "You mean, girl, what kind of part-time job?"

It seemed that his wife's Scottish accent scared this cute Asian girl, and Tom hurriedly stepped forward and pushed his wife back with his equally fat body.

"Mary, Mary, calm down. It's hard to be a man, and it's even harder to be a good husband, comforting his wife and taking care of the little girl, Tom has to smile all over his face: "Okay Ada, didn't you be scared by your sister Mary?

Ida glanced at "Auntie" Mary, who was wearing a dress, with a full stomach and a wrinkled face, and shrugged, "You know, the lab, I'm usually good friends with my fellow programmers there. Two days ago, Harry just told me that their big boss Alice has contacted an old company in Hong Kong and wants to do some cooperation in the field of medicine......"

"Medicine?" Mary interjected, "Isn't that Alice-Wang a computer player?"

Harry glanced at his wife dissatisfied, "Mary, let little Ida speak." ”

To say that the 100,000 people in the city don't know who the research institute with the size of a stadium belongs to is as ridiculous as asking them if they know who the current queen is. Don't look at the sign in front of the parking lot that says "Exeter Computer Research Center", but just below that line of handwriting, there is the writer's signature.

Dangdang dang~

Alice Wang, who has been very famous in the IT world recently~

For most of the year, the Times and The Sun sporadically broadcast some news, which was enough to let the residents of this town know what the hell that girl was.

"Sister Alice is an investor. After all, they are compatriots of the same race, and Xiao Ida proudly stood up and said: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, in fact, the underground part of the research institute is used as a part-time new drug research and development center!"

There is such an inside story, and the couple at the shop look at each other.

Even if it is rumored that the British government is involved, the laboratory is not a municipal project at least on the surface, and Alice is certainly not obliged to disclose the details of her project to the public. If you think about it, if you really want to talk about "computer research", it seems that the entire five floors of space upstairs should be used, and what if there is a supercomputer that takes up space? So, the residents of the small town have been guessing for more than a day or two what the endless basement is going to do.

And now, that's the answer!?

"Oh my God, is this true!?" Mary slammed her chair over, and a mountain of flesh rushed towards little Ada!

"Ahh

"Hey Mary, calm, calm...... Oh~!"

Then, with a poof, Harry sacrificed himself to be a thick meat pad, blocking his equally fat wife.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," after a moment of calming down, Mary also realized that she was reckless, and quickly apologized in her fluent Scottish dialect: "Ada, didn't scare you, did you?"

For Ada, the agent prodigy who can break through the evil boss at night, the charge of a mere mountain of meat is nothing, and she said very easily: "It's okay, it's okay." Well, I'm going to get down to business, right?"

"I don't know when Sister Alice will be open for recruitment, after all, the Hong Kong company called Hehepu hasn't officially moved over. "But the demand for volunteers for the initial trial of the new drug, according to her, is definitely not too much," she said. So Brother Tom, would you be interested in joining in the fun?"

Volunteer for a new drug test?

Tom looked at Mary in surprise.

Although the couple is still young, who doesn't know what the situation is now. I got a place in a certain project in advance because of an acquaintance, although I am only a volunteer now, but the matter itself is definitely of far-reaching significance.

"Volunteers," Mary immediately asked, "I don't think there will be any money to take, right?"

Ida blinked wide-eyed, "Huh...... Although it is a volunteer, it refers to the test itself, and a little commission can still be ......"

"If Tom goes, will he still be able to get to know the security guards inside, like, like, like the security captain or something?"

"That must be okay......

"Go, Tom!" and the wife slapped her husband on the back: "Save yourself from spending all day playing games in the store, and go volunteer to earn some extra money!"

"Oh Mary, you know I'm sick ......"

"Wow, Brother Tom, do you agree?"

At first, he looked at his wife hesitantly, but seeing little Ada's excited appearance, Tom couldn't say anything to refuse. (To be continued.) )
