Chapter 006: The Cold of the Pit Man
At four o'clock in the morning, it was not yet dawn, and it was pitch black in the lounge.
Mu Xuan, who came out of the game, didn't rush to open her eyes, she reached behind her neck and pressed the prompt switch, and then lay on the chair with her eyes closed to familiarize herself with the dark environment. A few minutes passed, and she sat up slowly, put on her glasses on the side of the chaise longue, and then slowly opened her eyes.
In 2048, scientists invented a microcomputer that can be implanted in the human body, which can send biological waves to the human brain, thereby helping people with disabilities who cannot see or hear to recover their sense of sight and hearing. This technology has been developed over the decades and is widely used in various fields.
By 2080, 95% of human beings will have microcomputers implanted in their bodies, which can replace most of the functions of ordinary computers by loading various applications and external chips. Because microcomputers are private, they still use ordinary computers in public.
Technology is developing rapidly, and every year there are microcomputers with new features, and ordinary people will replace the latest version of microcomputers every few years.
Mu's microcomputer is located at the back of her neck, which is a very common location, and unlike most people, her microcomputer is never replaced.
When Mu Xiang was ten years old, he tried to replace the microcomputer, but that time almost killed her, and at this time the family knew that Mu Xiang was allergic to the replacement equipment.
In this era when vision can be corrected by microcomputers, glasses are mostly flat glasses for decoration. And Mu makeup also wears myopic eyes because the microcomputer in her body has a small problem in correcting her vision.
Although the microcomputer from more than 20 years ago is indeed a little old, Mu Xiang thinks that it is enough in terms of function, for example, now, she can also use the microcomputer's built-in sensor to draw a panorama of the lounge.
On the virtual screen, Mu Xiang saw the whole picture of the lounge with a light background, and a person standing at the door and entering the password was printed on the glass next to the door. Because her sensors couldn't describe the outside scene, she had no way of knowing who was outside the door.
Soon the bright lights enveloped the entire lounge, and although he had been prepared for a long time, Mu Makeup's eyes were pierced by the sudden appearance of the light.
Stretching out his left hand to block his eyes, Mu Xiang squinted at the door.
The person standing at the door surprised Mu Xuan, it was Leng Han, the general manager of the Xi family.
She hadn't seen this busy man since that chance encounter more than a month ago, and she didn't expect to see her in the lounge on the twenty-fifth floor today.
Leng Han saw Mu Makeup, who was sitting in the corner with a somewhat messy hairstyle, and asked expressionlessly, "Why haven't you gone home yet?" ”
With the help of a microcomputer, Mu Xiang quickly checked the employee handbook, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no "no overnight stay in the company" in it, she said with a relaxed smile: "General manager, my home is far away, and I am busy working overtime until 11 o'clock in the evening today, so I will make up for one night here." ”
Leng Han nodded, "um", and didn't ask more about it, just said expressionlessly again: "Don't be nervous, I'm just doing a routine check." Do you want to turn off the lights? ”
Although Leng Han had a wooden face, there was a trace of concern leaking from his lowered voice, and Mu Xuan nodded gratefully.
The lights went off, and the lounge returned to the embrace of night. The sound of the door closing, the already small footsteps gradually disappeared, and Mu Xuan knew that the cold had gone away.
The general manager is really hard, and he has to work so late. But...... Isn't routine inspection the security guard's business, why did she see the general manager?
I couldn't figure it out, and Mu Xiang didn't think about it anymore, anyway, the general manager's affairs were not something she could manage.
She left the game for nearly ten minutes, and this is equivalent to more than half an hour in the game, and she should have left the place after stepping on the snow and looking for plum to complete the task, so she is not in a hurry to go online.
It was only five o'clock when I had dinner last night, and it was already four o'clock in the morning, touching my rumbling belly, Mu Xiang was going to go to the office to get some instant canned food pads first.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the lounge, Mu Xiang saw the cold coming out of the bathroom, and he was wiping the water on his hands with a handkerchief.
The eyes of the two were already met, Mu Xiang couldn't pretend not to see it, she stepped forward and nodded with a smile.
Leng Han also nodded, and asked while wiping his hands, "Not sleeping?" ”
"Gollum."
Mu Xiang's stomach screamed out of place, and answered the cold question in her place. Mu Xiang covered his stomach with his hands and said shyly: "I'm a little hungry, I'm going to eat some canned food before I go to sleep." ”
Leng Han threw the handkerchief into the garbage can, pointed to the elevator in front of him and said, "Our company's restaurant is open 24 hours. ”
"Huh?"
Leng Han put his hands behind his back and walked towards the elevator, saying as he walked, "It's better to go to the restaurant than to eat canned food." It just so happened that I was also a little hungry, so I went along. ”
Mu Xiang hesitated, she didn't follow.
The price of the restaurant is much more expensive than the canteen, except for the time when the company held a party, she went to the restaurant, and the rest of the time she solved the problem of food and clothing in the canteen.
Walk to the elevator, put on gloves and press the elevator up button. The elevator stops on the twenty-fifth floor, and the doors open when the button is pressed.
Leng Han walked in, turned around and pressed the fortieth floor where the restaurant was located, only to find that Mu Makeup was still standing on the edge of the bathroom, and beckoned Mu Makeup to come over: "I have a treat, just to make up for my sister's mistake last time." ”
Mu Xuan's tangled expression did not disappear but became more and more strict, she reluctantly walked into the elevator and said to Leng Han: "Thank you for the invitation, but I was also at fault for that incident last time, if you must have a treat today, please let me invite you back next time." ”
Leng Han squinted his eyes and glanced at Mu Xuan and said, "Well, okay." ”
Mu Xiang smiled bitterly and stared at the display screen above the elevator and did not continue to speak.
She should have thought that the general manager who had a habit of cleanliness would go back to wash his hands after turning off the lights empty-handed, and if she had waited a little longer and then went out, she would not have met him, and she would not have fallen into this situation that she could not refuse. When she first joined the company, she didn't have much spare money, and if she wanted to have a treat, she had to save money.
The food in the restaurant was really better than the cafeteria, and the food cured Mu Makeup, she forgot the price of getting this meal for a while, and ate the meal happily.
The elevator came to the twenty-fifth floor again, Mu Xiang said goodbye to Leng Han and walked out, and when the elevator door was about to close, she heard Leng Han's voice with a smile: "Please keep the mood during the meal, I don't need you to treat you, I was teasing you just now." ”
Compared with the content of Leng Han's words, Mu Xiang paid more attention to his current expression at the moment, and raised his head suddenly, only to see the closed elevator door.
Did she hear it wrong just now, it was the general manager as her name suggests, she had never seen the general manager's smile before she was reborn, and the general manager had a little joke with her just now, is the sun coming out of the west today.
I have to say that Leng Han's last words Mu Makeup was very useful, and she remembered this treat, and she will definitely make up for it when she makes money in the future.
It was now half past four in the morning, Mu Xiang returned to the door of the lounge, and after entering the code to open the door, she found that the lounge had been locked from the inside.
Mu Makeup was very surprised that there were other people in the customer service department besides her staying in the company, and she never found out. She didn't know if the people in the break room were asleep, so she was too embarrassed to knock on the door and disturb others, so she went to the office.
Lying on the table with his arms on his back, Mu Makeup re-entered the game.
