The Gray Age Chapter 8 The Mysterious Paula Company
Unconsciously, I have been in the company for more than four years, from the very beginning, a small scientific researcher who is only willing and has no opinions, to the person in charge of a project, only I know how many brain cells will be consumed.
Sister Liu is still like that, every time I meet her, she will tease me from time to time, asking me if I have a girlfriend or something. Until now, I didn't really want to stay in the same room with Sister Liu. There was really no way to come to her office today.
Sister Liu still looks like that, with light makeup and professional clothes, and she is still there frantically typing on the keyboard, and complaining from time to time. But this time there was a small detail that was different from the past, after Liu Xuerong saw me come in, she directly shifted her attention to me, no longer caring about the game she was playing, and looked at me with a somewhat serious face.
"Qi Mo, you're here, sit down, why did you bring the dog?"
As she spoke, she stood up and sat down beside me, and I moved slightly to the side of the couch with the general in my arms. My action made Liu Xuerong's brows furrow slightly, but she didn't say much.
Liu Xuerong and I are also old colleagues, sitting directly next to me and getting straight to the point.
"I heard that your research project abroad has a problem? What the hell is going on? ”
I was just about to say something, when Liu Xuerong's office door was suddenly pushed open, and there were two people standing outside the door, who were the men in a suit I saw last night.
At this time, the two people walked in with sunglasses and expressionless faces, looking at Liu Xuerong sitting next to me with a serious face.
"Director Liu, don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Then he turned his attention to me.
"Mr. Qi, please come with us."
I didn't understand what was going on, and looked at Liu Xuerong, who was also at a loss. One of the men in the suit was a little impatient when he saw me struggling.
"Mr. Qi, don't waste time."
I had to stand up obediently and say a few words to Liu Xuerong who was sitting on the sofa.
"Sister Liu, general, help me take care of it first, and I'll be back soon."
After explaining this, I stood up and followed the two men in suits out of the office. Only Liu Xuerong, who was anxious in the office, suddenly ran out of ideas.
With trepidation, I walked behind two men in suits to the elevator. Went straight down to the first floor of the company. I felt a little strange in my heart. According to normal logic, isn't it true that the higher the level, the higher the office location? How did this go back to the first floor?
I'm now fighting between my eyelids, and my brain is a little unturned. I looked at the cheap watch on my wrist that had been worn out and the paint had peeled off, and sighed a little tiredly. It's eleven o'clock in the morning, and when I'm lying in bed abroad, I still have to make a report, and I just look reluctant to think about it.
But before I could complain, my eyes widened in surprise at the scene in front of me. After I got out of the elevator door, two men in suits dragged me to another elevator that I had never used before!
Like a frightened bunny, I tried to resist. But after all, it can't match these two tall men in suits.
"Mr. Qi, please cooperate, we will not hurt you."
Hearing this from one of the men in a suit, I finally gave up my resistance and honestly leaned against one corner of the elevator shivering.
This elevator is different from the one I often use when I go to work, the whole structure is composed of transparent tempered glass, and everything at the bottom of the company can be seen in the elevator. I had never had the opportunity to take it before, because there was a clear rule in the company, there were four elevators on the first floor of the hall, A, B, C, D. Our staff BCD these three elevators can be used casually, but they must not use or step into the A elevator. I don't know the specific reason, but I heard some old people in the company say that this elevator is specially used by the core personnel of Paula's company, and we salaried people are not qualified to use it. There is another explanation that "this Paula company has a total of 40 floors, 30 floors above ground and 10 floors underground, and our staff can only reach the 25th floor at the highest and go down to the negative 3rd floor." As for other places, there are hidden secrets. ”
These claims have never been confirmed, they are just the after-dinner conversation of some boring people, and I didn't take it seriously at the time, but now I find that most of these speculations are true!
After entering the elevator, the two men in suits made a few random gestures to the glass on the right side of the elevator. Immediately afterward, a virtual three-dimensional scanning device appeared on the transparent glass wall, and one of the men in black took out a silver-gray card made of metal from the pocket of his suit and shook it at the scanning device. Suddenly, at the floor button inside the elevator, there were originally only minus three to twenty-five floors, but now in the vacant position, the originally smooth metal surface suddenly recessed inward, revealing the hidden button hidden under the metal plate, and the number of floors became minus ten to thirty.
In my surprised gaze, the elevator climbed rapidly, until the twenty-fifth and sixth floors did not stop, but the scene in front of me made me unable to move my footsteps.
In the entire Paula company, the space above the twenty-sixth floor is all hollowed out. The twenty-sixth floor where I am standing is a huge floating farm, the entire farm is covered with a huge transparent glass cover, cut off from the outside world, the glass cover is planted with a variety of vegetables, fruits and plants, and there is even a small area of pigs, cattle and sheep and a fish pond covering an area of about 100 square meters, you can vaguely see the fish constantly swimming in it, outside the glass cover of the farm, there is a group of eight people scientific research team is playing the role of God, Simulating all kinds of natural weather that nature may occur, violent storms, or sunny days, or even blizzards, it is simply a small square world described in martial arts novels!
I watched all this with my eyes wide open, and I couldn't have imagined that there really was such a detailed man-made natural environment in this world.
Just as I was thinking, two men in suits turned around and made a gesture to drag me.
"Mr. Qi, we still have very important matters, please don't waste time!"
"Don't drag me, don't drag me, I'll just go with you."
I reacted at this time, agreed awkwardly, and stepped out of the elevator, my eyes still a little reluctant to look at this artificial "farm".
Following the two men in suits out of the elevator, I still have some unfinished, and even faintly a little excited, I have never participated in such an interesting scientific research experiment, and I must learn more about it when I have the opportunity in the future.
The whole farm opens up all the spaces above the 25th floor, and each floor is equipped with a circle of handrails, some of which are designed to be open-air, but they are not open-air, and you can only walk to reach the floors above the 25th floor. I'm a little puzzled, what does this Paula company think, the company is full of all these bells and whistles, why do you have to take the stairs when you get to the core personnel? I just can't figure it out.
Up two flights of stairs, we came to the twenty-seventh floor. Two men in suits and I walked along the handrail to a room. One of the men in a suit pressed a button on the left side of the door. After a few seconds, the door clicked and opened a gap. The man in the suit at the front stretched out his hand to open the door and motioned for me to enter.
I hesitated, and finally walked in, after all, I didn't have a choice right now.
What greeted me was a pure white room with only a table and a chair, not even a sofa. So I had to stand in my room, slightly nervous.
On the chair opposite me sat a man of about forty years old in a white suit, looking at me with a smile. The two men in suits behind him closed the door directly. I looked back at the door a little nervously, and now the atmosphere is a little wrong, how can it be like a horror movie?
"Mr. Qi, hello, my name is Zuoqiu, you may not have heard of it, but it doesn't matter, I called you here today just to learn about the laboratory explosion that occurred in the foreign branch."
Before I could think about it, the man sitting across from me suddenly spoke.
I was stunned, and I always felt that the sound was a little sharp, not like it came from a person's throat, but like a computer-synthesized one.
As soon as I heard it, I realized that the man in front of me wanted to know about the affairs of the branch laboratory, and he didn't mean to trouble me, and my heart could finally be put back in my stomach. I nodded at the man named Zuoqiu.
"Where is the multi-species gene mixing technology that you led the research and development of?"
"The latest development is that experiments have been done on a group of mice, and the effect is very significant, the cancer cells have collapsed on their own in a short period of time, and after three months of observation, there is no abnormality, and the drug has been tested on volunteers, but..."
I answered truthfully, but I couldn't go on when it came to the end, and I felt a little remorseful in my heart, regretting that I had let Billy be on duty in the lab. I have not recovered from the hard work that has been going on for so long.
"It's just that now the reagents have been destroyed, and follow-up experiments can't be carried out, right? It doesn't matter, you've done a good job, we'll take care of the rest. It is a great honor for our company to have a talent like you. By the way, stay safe for the rest of the day. ”
"Stay safe, what do you mean? Is this a threat to me? Why can't I understand what he says? ”
My brain was racing, and I was thinking about what Zuoqiu meant by what he had just said, when suddenly, a burst of blue light flashed in front of me, and all the tables and chairs in the whole room, including Zuoqiu, who was talking to me just now, disappeared, leaving only an empty white room.
All of a sudden, I was the only one left in the room. That man just now turned out to be a projection? But I didn't even notice it! That's too realistic, right?
Before I could think about it, the door of the room was opened again, and two men in suits came to me like two black towers, one on the left and one on the right.
"Mr. Qi, you should have acted as if nothing happened today, the company gave you a long vacation for a month, and your salary will be paid as usual, and now you can go home."
After saying that, the two men in suits looked at me directly, and I had to follow them out of the pure white room and take the elevator back to the first floor of the company again.
