The next morning, Qi Min and Anton arrived at Beijing West Railway Station on time, and sat in the seat in the waiting room, Anton suddenly asked, "By the way, where are we going?" ”

Qi Min remembered that she didn't seem to say where she was going this time, but she was a little sleepy in the morning, and she couldn't remember it for a while, so she had to take out her mobile phone and open WeChat to glance at the title of the WeChat group, and then said: "Xining." ”

"Xining...... Where is it? Anton asked.

"Qinghai." Qi Min felt a little funny, "You don't know where Xining is?" What if we are in Hainan, why should we bring such thick clothes? ”

"Don't you know when you're packing up?" Anton asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Qi Min collapsed on the back of the seat again, and after being paralyzed for a while, he straightened up again, "I remember, the theme of this trip is walking on the ice of Qinghai Lake." Speaking of which, the coat we wore didn't seem to be thick enough. ”

"No, how can the recuperation arranged by the management department be like this? Go to the northwest in winter, or the plateau, who can stand this. Anton said.

"Hey, I live in a hotel every day, where is it different?" Qi Min calmly explained, "The people who went this time are all young people, and it is the so-called 'active rest', staying on the plateau for a few days to promote red blood cell production. ”

What kind of strange theory is this? However, I also know that the centralized outing of the marketing team of the management department of the brain-like company is also for the main purpose of investigating and experiencing the content around Qinghai Lake, and maybe after returning to Beijing, it will open another saltwater lake sightseeing project in the style of the Northwest Plateau around Beijing - and then correspondingly open a freshwater lake with seals in it around St. Petersburg (note: that is, Baikal in the virtual world).

"What about the coat?" Anton muttered.

"Just go to the ground and buy two." Qi Min shrugged indifferently, "I didn't sell the down jacket anywhere." ”

"Isn't it cold there?" Anton was a little worried.

"It's okay, it's not cold." Qi Min has never wanted to think about this kind of "little thing", "Even if it's cold, a little cold can't freeze people to death." After she finished speaking, she straightened up and said suddenly, "But if you catch a cold at a high latitude, it will not be good to worsen pulmonary edema." ”

"So scary?" Anton was a little surprised.

However, Qi Min collapsed again: "Hey, that's what I said." "It's just a risk." How can people live without experiencing some high-risk operations. I'd rather go to a higher latitude than to the other side of Qinghai Lake – I haven't climbed Mount Everest yet. ”

If it was in the past, Qi Min would never have said "to climb Mount Everest". Although she also likes to hang out a little, she is definitely not the kind of extreme sports enthusiast. It's not that she's afraid of death, it's just that those high-risk operations usually require too long of training, and with this preparation time, she might as well sleep at home.

Anton realized that it didn't seem to be the same now, but he didn't say it either. Ever since the last time he discussed Mimi's future, it was clear to him that Qi Min was ready to become the sole administrator of the brain-like body. Now I'm afraid she thinks this trip might be the last. It may be that for Qi Min, there is no difference between being in the brain-like body and being in the real world—all the feelings in the brain-like body are also replicas of the real world—but for the people around her, whether she exists in the real world or not is a world of difference.

Anton believes that the top management of the brain-like company can handle the conflict with the grassroots administrators, but this is more wishful thinking than "believing". He couldn't help but feel that his life was really lacking in planning, he never thought about what he would be like when he was thirty-three years old when he was in high school, and until Qi Min confessed that the brain-like body must have the hidden danger of "dead souls" as the only administrator, he never thought about what the real world would be like without Qi Min. However, this time he can advance and retreat with Qi Min, so he doesn't need to think about so many complicated predictions for the future. Anyway, Qi Min is very lazy, and he is as lazy as Qi Min.

So be it, if this is really the last time to travel in the real world. It might not be a bad idea to be a dead soul in the future.

——

The waiting room didn't wait long to get on the bus, and because it was an activity of the management department, Qi Min and Anton were both sitting in the second class. Because it was a chartered bus by the management department of the brain-like company, the seats on this train were adjusted to opposite seats in advance, so Qi Min and Anton could only sit a little awkwardly opposite a row of people they didn't know well.

Although these are all employees of brain-like companies, Qi Min has always only wandered around her one-third of an acre in the R&D department, and the senior management of the management department may still know each other, but the subordinate marketing group has basically never even seen it. Correspondingly, the young people in these marketing groups have never seen Qi Min, let alone Anton. However, since this time, in addition to the marketing group, several grassroots administrators were also arranged to recuperate, and the people in the marketing group didn't care too much about the strangers in the team.

As soon as he got in the car and didn't sit down, Qi Min "couldn't wait" to ask for instant noodles. In her opinion, the essence of taking the train lies in instant noodles, after all, she can't imagine any other suitable time to eat instant noodles besides taking the train.

In this way, Anton was instructed to make instant noodles, Qi Min sat on the seat and waited, and the person sitting opposite them also got on the bus, and the car drove after a while.

Because it was a group trip, the employees of the marketing team were a little excited. The management department of the brain-like company has not been established for a few years, and the marketing group is the department that was just established in the first half of the year, and the employees are recruited from other places in addition to the middle level, most of them are also recruiting young people, and everyone is not too familiar with it and for the time being, they are still a little fresh for this collective, and they are very happy to chat in the car.

The two girls who sat opposite Qi Min happened to be unknown before, one was wearing a T-shirt from the last May Day team building of the market group, and it looked like the first batch of fresh graduates recruited by the market group, and the other was a little older, looking a little restrained, but like a minority of administrators in the crowd.

The girl who was supposed to be the first batch of employees in the marketing group took the initiative to ask the suspected administrator next to her and Qi Min opposite: "Hey, are you also from the management department?" ”

The girl who seemed to be an administrator smiled a little awkwardly, "Yes, I used to be an administrator...... It still is. ”

From the statement "it used to be", it vaguely makes people think that she has considered resigning. It's no wonder, after all, there is such a thing as a "monitoring assistant" and a strike. But those who have the courage to resign are often not in the worst situation, and the people in the marketing group may not know, and even other ordinary administrators may not be able to know, but Qi Min still remembers that the fuse of the strike was an accident in which an administrator died suddenly on the job.

"I'm an administrator too—sort of." Qi Min replied quietly. Of course, she can't say that she is the CTO, but it is best not to let others know that she is from the R&D department, and the words "R&D department is a dog" may not only appear on the slogan.

"And you know each other?" The girl from the marketing group tried to ask.

"I don't know." The caretaker whispered.

Qi Min also added: "Many administrators work from home, and they may not all know each other. ”

"yes, I still don't recognize all the people in the marketing group." The girl from the marketing group nodded, "Isn't recuperation together equivalent to team building?" ”
