Huaxia, Institute of Geological Exploration of Mountains and Seas.

Yang Panyue was dressed in a solemn white coat, and she had the temperament of an intellectual beauty in the workplace.

She pushed open the door to the director's office and walked inside.

The office is spacious, divided into two rooms, inside and outside.

The inner room is the office area, and the outer room is the living room for the reception.

The middle is separated by a shelf.

The décor of the office is very much in line with the research institute, and the shelves and walls are filled with mineral specimens from all over the country, as well as animal and plant specimens.

As far as the eye can see, the office is like a small museum of nature.

An old man in a white Tang costume is sitting behind a mahogany desk.

The desk is full of books and materials, and it is very cluttered.

The old man's hair was thinning, and only a few were left, and he still stuck to his post, which was the last insistence.

His face was wrinkled, like orange peel. He also wears a very old-fashioned black reading glasses on his face, which adds a bit of antique temperament, and he looks like he is seventy or eighty years old.

Hoary.

Lethargy.

But it exudes a strong bookish atmosphere.

At this moment, the old man's hands like withered vines and spotless white gloves were carefully flipping through a very old book with a yellow glow.

Sometimes frowning, sometimes thoughtful.

He didn't even notice when Yang Panyue walked into the office.

Yang Panyue walked to the desk and secretly glanced at the old books spread out on the table.

On the book is a painting.

Very strange paintings.

A towering tree towers between heaven and earth.

No words can describe the majesty of this tree, with the sky above and the nine shadows below, like a pillar of heaven supporting the world!

Under the tree, countless creatures can be seen kowtowing to the sacred tree.

There are humans, as well as all kinds of demons and monsters.

There are even many strange beasts and monsters.

The scene in the trees is the strangest.

A woman with a snake tail coiled around the branches of a towering ancient tree, holding her hands together and holding them high towards the sky, as if she was praying to the sky for the blessings of all beings.

Although the lines of the woman in this painting are simple, with only a few brushstrokes, you can barely see the rudiments of the figure and distinguish between men and women.

But if you look closely, you can feel the special charm from women.

Dignified.

Holy.

Kindliness.

She is like a goddess of compassion for all living beings, praying to the heavens for all living beings in this world, and it is like a Buddha who closes his eyes and can't bear to see the suffering that the common people will experience.

There are still some broken ancient texts on the pictures.

It's not traditional, it's not a seal script, it's more like an oracle bone script.

Yang Panyue is not a scholar specializing in history, so she can't understand what is recorded on it.

However, she was not interested in learning about these strange things.

Yang Panyue glanced at the strange illustrations on the ancient books, withdrew her gaze from the ancient paintings, and turned to look at the old man who was immersed in her own world, not noticing that there was an extra person in the office.

She couldn't help but sigh.

This old man is the director of the institute - Guan Shanhe.

He changed the name himself.

What his real name is, no one knows for a long time.

I only know that the old director didn't know what stimulation he received when he was young, and inexplicably changed his own name to Guan Shanhe.

Close, look at the same thing.

Guanshan River, the meaning of viewing mountains and rivers.

In the words of the old director, he had already made up his mind 60 years ago and determined his future life goals.

One day, he wants to see the magnificence of the mountains and rivers in the world and see through the hidden secrets of the vast earth!

Of course, most of the members of the institute didn't take it seriously, and they had already heard it with calluses.

Because the old director has to say once a year at the orientation party of the institute, just like the president's speech at the orientation meeting every year, it will remain unchanged for ten thousand years.

Oh, if you change it to a year, it's actually a bit different.

Yang Panyue coughed lightly and signaled that there were other people in the office, interrupting the old director's train of thought.

Although she has not been in the institute for a long time, she also knows the character of the old director.

Silly!

Once he finds something he is interested in, he can even go two days and two nights without sleep until he faints from hunger, or faints from exhaustion.

Now the old director has obviously found something very interesting, so he didn't notice that there was an extra person in the office. If she hadn't interrupted, the two would have been in an awkward stalemate here for a day, and perhaps the old director would be able to notice her presence.

Or, she took the old director to the hospital.

"Satsuki, when did you come?"

"Is there something wrong?"

The old director heard the cough and looked up, only to realize that there was one more person in the office.

He looked at Yang Panyue, his old face was full of doubts, as if asking where did you come from.

Yang Panyue was speechless at the old director's rough nerves, rolled her eyes secretly, and explained helplessly: "Director, did you notify me in the morning and let me come to the office to find you at this time?" ”

Guan Shanhe was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

He patted his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, he had no shelf to be good at.

"Old, old, almost forgot to get down to business."

"Satsuki, this is your letter of appointment."

"From today onwards, you will be the overseas correspondent of our Institute of Mountain and Sea Geological Exploration."

The old man rummaged through the table for a moment before he found the letter of appointment that he had casually stuffed under a pile of books.

Yang Panyue was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood.

Overseas correspondent!

Could it be the Pacific Ocean?

Thinking of the so-called Seagod Kingdom, Yang Panyue suddenly lacked interest.

Go overseas.

It's still so remote.

It's almost a place where birds don't poop.

Once you go to a desert island in the Pacific Ocean, you may not be able to come back once a year.

Yang Panyue frowned secretly.

Only fools will go.

She resolutely refused.

"Director, you know the situation at home."

"My eldest brother disappeared mysteriously five years ago, and my younger brother is in college again. Because of my eldest brother's disappearance, my mother was irritated and her health has not been very good. ”

"I~~~"

When Yang Panyue said this, she covered her face with her hands.

It sounded like a choked voice, and it seemed to be crying.

When the real face is like a pear blossom with rain, people can't help but feel pity.

However, the fair-skinned plain subordinates did not see any sadness, and a pair of eyes were secretly observing the old director.

It's been five years, and no amount of grief has dissipated.

When people live, they have to find their own way out after all.

Guan Shanhe had heard about Yang Panyue's family, and also knew that she had an eldest brother who disappeared five years ago.

It seems to be called Yang Xu?

It's still a name.

After her eldest brother disappeared, she was sued by the company she worked for, saying that she had stolen the company's jewelry rough worth tens of millions. As for what happened in the end, Guan Shanhe is not clear.

It's not convenient for him to ask about this kind of thing, and he's not interested in asking about it.

Who's not going to have a personal affair yet.

Guan Shanhe comforted: "I also know a little about your family's situation. ”

"I heard that some time ago, in order to see your mother's doctor, you paid half a year's salary from the research institute in advance. Old man, I thought, you are short of money now, and your family is in difficulty, so you must be short of money. ”

"It just so happens that this job needs a young and promising researcher, and there are not many employees in our institute who meet the requirements, so I recommended you to the above."

"This work is a little tired, a little hard, and a little dangerous, but the salary is very good."

"A salary of twelve thousand a month."

Yang Panyue originally had some expectations, but when she heard the salary figure, she couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly.

Twelve thousand!?

Only a salary increase of 3,000?

It's stupid to be a sister, to go to that ghost place where birds don't for 3,000 yuan.

I thank you so much.

The ghost wants to go to the desert island of the Pacific Ocean to bask in the sun and see sea turtles.

Dogs don't go!

Guan Shanhe's voice paused slightly, and explained: "But now, the benefits of this job are high. ”

"The monthly subsidies are added together, travel expenses, travel expenses, high temperature expenses, food subsidies, danger allowances, overseas allowances, etc., there are about 120,000 to 150,000 yuan, and each researcher is also purchased with a life safety insurance of 5 million."

Yang Panyue was still secretly criticizing, and when she heard this, she suddenly felt excited.

Monthly welfare subsidy of 12 to 150,000 !!

"Yes, Yang Panyue promises to complete the tasks assigned by the company, not to disappoint the boss, and not to bother the director."

"Thanks to the trust of the leaders and the love of the director, Yang Panyue remembers it in his heart."

Yang Panyue's eyes were shining, impassioned, and her voice was crisp.

She didn't squint, her body stood as straight as a green pine, her whole person glowed with a completely different mental appearance from a minute ago, full of energy, and her black and white eyes were even more golden.

That's the thirst for money!

Woohoo!

A benefit of more than 100,000 yuan a month, a fool refuses!

Isn't it a little remote, a little dangerous, and you may not be able to go home for a year and a half, but the boss gives him too much!
