Chapter 33: Let's Go

"Well, yes."

Lu Yun naturally nodded and admitted that this was not something to hide.

"You also have... That badge? ”

The old man still looked incredulous, and the people around him were also waiting with bated breath for Lu Yun to take out the badge to prove that what he said was true.

Lu Yun did not refuse, and in the palm of his right hand that he pulled out of his pocket, there was a Ether Company badge that emitted a blue shimmer in the light.

In the suburbs, it is a higher and more unattainable and inaccessible existence than in the urban area.

Even though people from the suburbs have the opportunity to interview with Ether companies, only a handful of people actually join the company.

The percentage is so small that there are rumors that it is the corporations in the city or the forces in the suburbs who want free human materials to trick people into stepping onto the road and attacking places that the organization can't reach.

No one thinks that there will be suburbanites entering the ether company, at least not around them, and those who can join must be big people who can't be touched by themselves.

However, Lu Yun's appearance broke the concept that his neighbors had always had, how could they never have thought that Lu Yun, who had grown up by his side since he was a child and had never been outstanding, would join the ether company?

For a while, the originally whispered discussion in the crowd became noisy, and almost everyone rushed to Lu Yun's side, babbling something.

And Huang Youliang, who was originally next to Lu Yun, had consciously retreated to the side of the truck at this moment, and after waving to Lu Yun with a smile, he took the other members of the transport team upstairs.

It didn't seem like the first time he had encountered this kind of thing, Huang Youliang, who was born in the northern part of the suburbs like Lu Yun, should have had a similar experience at the beginning, and he was now empathetic to hand over the opportunity for this person to appear to Lu Yun alone.

But unfortunately, Lu Yun actually doesn't enjoy it much, he has never been a showy person, and most of his joys, sorrows and sorrows are related to his goals.

I am happy to be able to join the Ethereum company, but it is not because of the change of class, but because I can make a big step forward in the two goals of my mother and find my father at the same time.

It's just that Lu Yun's neighbors don't seem to think so, for ordinary people, joining the Ether company is not a means, but the ultimate goal.

It represents a privileged life in the city and a social status that is looked up to wherever you go.

That means that you can stay away from the threat of post-war anomalies forever, you can no longer be managed by the organization, and you will no longer have to worry about becoming a victim of the entire street in the days when resources are scarce.

"Lu Yun, how did you do it?"

"What do you need to pay attention to when entering the Aether Company, do you know the people in the company?"

"What did you say in the interview? How much is stuffed? ”

"Lu Yun, look..."

"Lu Yun..."

The neighbors chattered, crowding out all the old people who had come up for questioning, and they all scrambled to know how to enter the Aether Corporation.

What's more, obviously he didn't know Lu Yun very well, so he forcibly pulled his child and said that he had taken a fancy to him for a long time and wanted to form a family with Lu Yun, and there were even men in it, which made Lu Yun feel cold.

Lu Yun was able to understand their purpose, because Ethereum had promised that if the employees wished, they could bring their families to live in the staff dormitory in Area A(1).

The employee's spouse is, of course, also part of the family.

"I'm sorry..."

Lu Yun declined the invitation to marry and retreated to the open space as much as possible, and the gossip of the neighbors made him not know how to answer.

But where can the neighbors let Lu Yun go? The opportunity to get specific information about the Aether Corporation may only be once in a lifetime, and they must seize it.

Lu Yun had no choice but to stop the crowd a little harder and let them get a little distance away from him, and in the process, Lu Yun was surprised to find that his physical ability was a little stronger than yesterday.

It seems that last night's gains in the twilight were more than just the enhancement of George's abilities and echoes.

The neighbors were also shocked by Lu Yun's strength, they didn't expect Lu Yun, who didn't look strong or thin, to have such great strength.

"I'm sorry, I also entered the company in a daze, and I insisted on saying that the company's recruitment standards..."

Lu Yun thought about the wording, he didn't know if he could say anything related to qualifications and post-war anomalies, and after weighing it, he decided to explain it in layman's terms.

And the originally restless neighbors also quieted down at the moment, and they all listened attentively to Lu Yun's next words.

"Even if you have a determination that will not change in the face of death."

If his qualifications are because of his obsession with his parents, then Lu Yun thinks that this is probably the so-called qualifications.

But it's clear that the audience doesn't buy this chicken soup for the soul, and they don't think that this kind of empty talk will get them into the ether company.

"Lu Yun, are you kidding my aunt?"

"You really know someone in the company, right?"

"Can you tell us about it?"

The neighbors began to gossip again, and their momentum was even more ferocious than before, and it seemed that they didn't intend to let him go before Lu Yun could say an answer that they could agree with.

"Let's go! Give it a go! ”

Bai Wenlan suddenly emerged from the crowd and broke a path with her body and the luggage she was carrying.

"Rainbow Dash, how embarrassed are you to ask someone else to help with your luggage! Go and help! ”

As he spoke, he threw a large stack of luggage to Lu Yun and asked him to help move it to the back truck, while he stayed where he was, beckoning the interrupted neighbors to ask him about the Ether Company.

Lu Yun's neighbors are more familiar with his mother Bai Wenlan than Lu Yun himself, and they also know that she will look at her usual friendship and give herself some practical information.

So, Lu Yun was able to get out, and on the way to the truck, he glanced at his mother worriedly, only to find that she was smiling and talking quickly with the people around her, and she didn't look unbearable at all.

Lu Yun sighed at his mother's strength while carrying his luggage onto the truck, and when he put the things on, he found that someone was already sitting on the cardboard box.

"Hi~"

Xiang Yan and her twin siblings, who were wearing black cat masks, had already gotten into the car at some point.

"Please leave the rest of the luggage to you, don't forget the box next to the door, that's our luggage."

Xiang Yan naturally asked Lu Yun to go upstairs to move things, and then took the younger siblings beside him to hide his figure, and saw the corners of Lu Yun's eyes twitch.

Although he knew that Xiang Yan didn't like to deal with people very much, and on the other hand, he didn't want her and her younger siblings' etheric eyes to be exposed, but...

The power of this Aether Eye is too easy to use, isn't it?

Lu Yun sighed, and was about to turn around to carry the rest of his luggage, but as soon as he walked back downstairs, he was stopped by Huang Youliang, who was standing on the side.

"Mr. Lu Yun, what's wrong?"

Huang Youliang looked at Lu Yun with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he had to go upstairs again.

"Carrying luggage?"

Lu Yun was also puzzled.

"Oh, Mr. Lu Yun, you don't have to go in person."

While speaking, the employees who were standing on the side of the truck just now moved all kinds of luggage from Lu Yun's family, and looking at the efficiency, it was estimated that they could be moved in two or three times.

"You're a permission-level employee like me, so you don't have to do it yourself, and besides, we're here to help you move."

Huang Youliang said with a smile, as if this was a matter of course.

"How did it feel to be in front of a crowd just now? Do you feel like you've become completely different? The eyes of those who usually can't even lift your energy when they see you must be wonderful now, right? ”

Huang Youliang's tone made it difficult for Lu Yun to imagine that he was born in the same suburbs as him, if it wasn't for the employee ID card, Lu Yun would definitely think that he was a native of the city.

Because of his appearance at the moment, Lu Yun had only seen it on the sightseeing bus from the city.

"It's okay, it's not much different."

Although Lu Yun didn't like Huang Youliang's statement very much, he didn't want to have a bad relationship with people before he officially entered the company, so he obeyed him perfunctory.

And Huang Youliang was still smiling, Lu Yun couldn't see what he was thinking.

"Captain, there are about 15 minutes left to move."

The employee holding a large cardboard box reported to Mr. Huang that his skin was too delicate for the suburbs and that he looked like a city person.

The way he reported to Huang Youliang did not have the usual arrogance of urban people to suburban people, but Huang Youliang's eyes revealed undisguised pride when he heard the title of captain.

Probably in the company, there is no point in being born.

Lu Yun guessed so, but he didn't dare to be sure, because whether it was his examiner Qi Jie, or Feng Ran, who had the most contact, or Huang Youliang, they were all too different from each other.

Since the family didn't need his own help, Lu Yun decided to look around, the employee just said that it would take 15 minutes, so he now has time to take another look at the street where he has lived for more than 20 years since he was born.

Although he didn't like running the choir in his neighborhood, he didn't hate it other than that, and he didn't know if his life would be better off in the future than when he was here.

As he walked, he came to 10 residential buildings, where he had met George the night before.

There, a woman with red-rimmed glasses and a crimson ribbon on her head stood looking at the building.

She looked very quiet, her long brown hair was neatly groomed, and Lu Yun remembered that she was also a tenant of Building 10, and like the woman on the second floor of Building 10, she came here after moving to the city to study.

It's just that she was lucky, and she went to other districts in the past two weeks to escape George's danger.

As for why Lu Yun knew her, it was because of poetry exchanges, even if Lu Yun didn't like writing poetry very much, he had to admit that she did write very well.

"Congratulations, you're in the Aether Corporation."

She noticed Lu Yun and didn't turn her head, but just congratulated Lu Yun lightly, and her tone couldn't hear any waves.

"Thank you."

Lu Yun replied that the relationship between them was just a nodding acquaintance, and they didn't know each other, so naturally there would be no touching goodbye.

"Why, you say?"

"What?"

The girl with the crimson ribbon suddenly asked Lu Yun, which caught him off guard.

"Why is it that someone can easily enter a company that others dream of, while someone can't escape natural disasters in order to avoid danger and live in the safest place they can live?"

She said very calmly, but Lu Yun didn't know how to respond.

Although what happened to him in the past two days was indeed dangerous, it was really nothing as the price of entering the Aether Company.

Life and death are often choices faced in the suburbs, and they are not a rare and difficult test.

"I've also been to the Ether company for an interview, but failed."

"Hopefully, we can see you again as colleagues in the future."

After speaking, she stopped caring about Lu Yun and took the elevator back to her room.

Although there were post-war anomalies and most of the residents were still unconscious, not many people in the suburbs had the right to choose between the best and the worst.

Lu Yun stood in place in silence for a while, and finally didn't do anything, so he turned around directly and slowly walked back to the door of his house.

When he returned to the truck, the luggage had been loaded, and most of the neighbors had gone to work, his mother counted if there was any missing luggage, while Xiang Yan poked his head out of the back of the truck and waved to himself.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yun couldn't help but smile, and looked around at the surrounding scenery for the last time, reflecting the street where he had lived since he was born into his mind.

After confirming with Huang Youliang that everything was ready, Lu Yun sat in the back seat with his mother and Xiang Yan.

The engine rumbled, and Huang Youliang asked Lu Yun if he could go.

Lu Yun nodded and replied:

"Let's go."
