Chapter 44: A Day in the Life of William
With the rapid development of Raccoon City, the originally peaceful and quiet city is gradually restless.
A large number of migrant workers are flocking to Raccoon City because of the umbrella company, which promises to provide stable jobs and basic housing to all migrant workers who have passed the identity check and do not have bad habits.
Most of these migrant workers are just ordinary people who have a good yearning for a better life, but there are also some people with ulterior motives.
The most outrageous of these is that on the sixth day of gun recovery, the Raccoon City Police Department cracked a major gun smuggling case.
The smugglers sell the guns to the residents of Raccoon City for 1.2 times the price, and the residents then take the guns to the surrender point for a 0.3 difference.
When Duncan found out about these things, he was stupid, and then he conveyed to the police that this kind of behavior must be severely punished.
Those who made the difference were deprived of education, health care, water and electricity, and gun traffickers asked their umbrella lawyers to fight for prison sentences.
After several big sticks in a row, the people who like to play tricks settled down a little.
The checkpoint has also become more careful in the review of people's identities, but no matter how careful it is, it can't stop many people with intentions, let alone spies who entered the umbrella a long time ago.
……
In the corner of the cafeteria of the Umbrella Building, a man with meticulous hair and two mustaches on his upper lip silently bowed his head to eat, his eyes hidden behind black-rimmed glasses from time to time swept over the staff who were eating in other positions, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"William, can I sit here?" Suddenly, a young woman with blond hair sat down in front of him with a plate.
William looked up and saw a smiling face that was not amazing, but very attractive, he stopped chewing food in his mouth, nodded and said vaguely: "Of course, there is no one here." ”
Hearing this, the woman put down the dinner plate and sat down generously opposite William, seeing that his eyes seemed to be a little evasive, or looking at the people around her eating, she also looked around, and sighed: "It's pretty good now, isn't it, I can get a job in the umbrella, although I am busier than before, I won't get bored." ”
“…… Well, that's good. William lowered his head and continued to pick up the mashed potatoes, with a lukewarm attitude, because his character was a good old man who was not sociable and taciturn.
The woman did not lose patience because of William's attitude, supporting her chin with one hand, poking the salad on the plate with a fork in the other, and staring at William who was doing the rice with her head down without blinking.
The burning gaze made William, who had excellent professional qualities, also have a little scalp tingling, and when he picked up the glass to drink, he glanced at the other side, but it happened to collide with the smiling eyes.
"Ahem... Ahem! Sorry......"
Somewhat embarrassed to wipe the water stains on his face with a napkin, William still didn't resist this look after all, and asked stiffly, "Janice, is there anything I need help with?" ”
Keep praying in my heart: Don't be a trouble, don't be a trouble!
Janice smiled: "Do you want to go to the opening event of the new century in the downtown square in the evening?" I've heard that there will be the world's first hologram billboard and a lot of tech exhibits to see, so you'll love it, right? ”
The opening event of the new century is not only the response of the umbrella company to the outside world, but also a grand event of public display and information to the public.
In the commercial plaza in the center of the city, the umbrella company will open everyone's eyes with the company's future core products, among which the confirmed exhibits are giant holographic billboards projecting up to 15 meters high.
In the future, the giant hologram billboard will also become a landmark of the city, similar to the billboard in New York's Times Square, and will become a check-in point for future tourists.
William's heart moved, he really wanted to go to see the opening event of the new era, but he had a reason not to go.
After a few struggles, William dodged Janice's expectant eyes and said stiffly, "I'm sorry, I can't go at night......
After saying the words of refusal, even if he didn't look at Janice's expression, he could feel the thick loss, and his heart couldn't help but throb in pain.
"That's a pity......" Janice understood, which made William feel even more uncomfortable.
After a hurried lunch, William fled the cafeteria.
Thanks to the evening fair, today's umbrella company can leave work early, giving employees enough time.
When William returned home, he lay on the bed for a while, and it was not until it was nearly dusk that his mood slowly calmed down.
He got out of bed with bloodshot eyes, and his excellent professional qualities were almost smoothed out in the past few years of working in the umbrella company.
Obviously, he wouldn't be so sentimental before, and he would start as soon as he had the opportunity.
I was already planning to wash my hands and go back to my hometown after finishing the last order, but when I really wanted to act, I encountered a big crisis in my life.
William was in the bathroom, silently looking at the man in the mirror.
To be honest, he is not young anymore, he is 32 years old, and there are already a lot of rough marks on his face, even if he usually has maintenance, his skin is gradually dull, which strengthens his determination to wash his hands after completing this order.
"After tonight, I'll get the money and go back to Ruidian! I believe you can! ”
After completing his self-encouragement, William entered the room, changed into new clothes, grabbed the computer and information storage, and quietly waited for the opening event in the evening.
The warm-up before the opening ceremony began as scheduled, and the residents of the city were fascinated by it.
William opened his eyes and headed for the closed Umbrella Company building with the guy eating in his trench coat.
He deliberately took the path to avoid all surveillance.
The Umbrella Building is located in the center of Raccoon, and William tries his best to avoid the crowds, but he still can't avoid passing by the central square.
With a keen interest in technology and electronics, he looked curiously into the square, where the neon lights lit up the crowd below.
Everyone seemed to have a smile on their faces, and he saw life in these images.
The opening event hadn't started yet, and I didn't get to see the high-tech products.
It wasn't until he crossed the square from the edge that he came back to his senses from the seemingly ordinary scene, and then sneaked into the Umbrella Building with a low mood.
Taking advantage of his identity, coupled with the excuse of forgetting to take something behind, he blended into the building, and naturally took the elevator to the floor where he worked.
Purchasing Department.
William worked in the purchasing department, and with five years of experience, he was not suspected even when he was discovered by the people on duty on his way back to the company.
At a time when the whole city is paying attention to the opening event of the new century, his actions have become extraordinarily smooth.
Opening the door to the office area of the purchasing department, William went to his workstation by the window and sat down, and took out the microcomputer hidden under the trench coat.
Connect the host computer with a cable, then turn on the power, and transfer the purchase data that has been prepared during the day into the data storage through the transfer of the microcomputer.
