Another moment passed.
He heard the elevator slowly stop on this floor.
Then there was the sound of the door opening.
The moment the elevator door closed, Cheng Ye rushed out.
The manager was not far ahead, still walking slowly, seemingly unaware of anything wrong.
Cheng Ye quickly moved forward and snatched away the manager's employee card.
Before the manager could react, he had already dashed past him.
The whole set of movements flowed smoothly, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.
While the manager was still looking confused, Cheng Ye had already quickly escaped to the stairwell according to the route planned last night, went down to the third floor, and then took the elevator to the first floor.
He calmly took out his employee card and put it into his pocket, then slowly replaced it with the manager's employee card.
In this second, the world in front of him changed.
He was slightly startled, and his movements on his feet froze.
Then he returned to normal, walking forward carelessly and looking around.
The employees with white employee cards that he thought were lifeless at first suddenly had friendly expressions on their faces.
They seemed to be in a good mood and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves rather than having a grimace.
Those security guards who he thought were strict and cold seemed a bit shorter now, as if they had changed from knights to old security guards in ordinary communities.
There seemed to be a look of fawning on their faces.
And the elevator has become ordinary. It's not as magnificent as it looked just now.
Just like in an instant, the world changed to another appearance, no longer the one that was unattainable.
Cheng Ye suppressed the doubts in his heart, glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and followed the other people with white employee cards in line to go to another elevator.
Everything looked so natural, as if he was one of them.
No one saw anything wrong.
There were not many people in the elevator.
After they entered the elevator, they all smiled friendlyly, and two of them started chatting.
"How are you doing over there?" A asked.
"Forget it, these employees only know how to fish. They really don't know that they are wasting their own time." B replied.
A felt the same after hearing this: "Yes, if the task cannot be completed, they are not the ones working overtime."
B sighed: "I have no choice. Our group's examination discipline this month may be the worst in the department. I don't know what to do... Where are you?"
A also sighed: "There is no difference between me and me, they are all the same."
Cheng Ye stood as far away as possible, weakening his presence.
He quietly observed the employee badges of these two people. They were both from the [Content Center] department.
Listening to their conversation, it can be seen that [Content Center] still has different groups.
For a pharmaceutical company, the purpose of [Content Center] is... to advertise?
That is to say, they also undertake part of the sales work and have KPI indicators?
Cheng Ye's eyes were dim and unclear. He couldn't understand some information and felt that he couldn't connect it together for the time being.
Assuming that each department has its own tasks, what do they [Information Department] need to do?
Just to sort out the information...do we need so many people?
Ding, the floor is here.
Cheng Ye walked out slowly.
He now wears the manager's employee badge, and he is the manager.
This was something he suddenly figured out last night.
The rules have emphasized the importance of employee cards countless times.
Among the nine short rules, five are actually about employee cards.
And...the most important one is:
[Rule 7: When necessary, you can take someone else’s employee card and use it as your own, as long as it is not discovered. 】
You can take someone else's employee card.
It is known that the employee card is very important. It is required in almost all scenarios when in the company and cannot be taken off.
[Rule 8: Please guard your employee card well and ensure that it is always with you during working hours. Remember: you need to show your employee card when going to and from get off work. 】
Therefore, he did not know what function the employee card should have but it was very important.
So Cheng Ye boldly guessed: the employee card represents identity.
And he had already experienced this in the demo before he officially started the game.
Employees with red employee badges can only take inferior elevators.
You can only eat two vegetarian and one meat dishes, but the price of the dishes cannot exceed 20.
Employees with white employee cards are not restricted.
They are backward compatible.
If you are willing to eat in a worse canteen, it doesn't matter. There is a window specially set up for them.
Moreover, a special canteen is set up.
This has been verified during the survey early this morning.
But now, after he hung up the manager's employee badge, he felt a different world, which made him even more convinced of this.
Employee badges represent a certain status in the company.
The white employee card is one level higher than the red employee card.
There should be higher levels above this, but it's hard to see them.
I just don’t know... what does the authority of the white employee card mean...
Cheng Ye squinted his eyes and approached the office.
The manager has long since disappeared.
However, according to the rules, losing the employee card should lead to a tragic outcome.
Maybe... will die?
Thinking of this, Cheng Ye was secretly uneasy.
He just wanted to get more clues, but he definitely didn't have the habit of killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Now he has systematic tips and a little more perspective than others.
But one day, others will be better than him.
To deprive others of their lives without any basis is really inconsistent with his concept.
It would be okay if he didn't know they were real people, but now... he knows.
And besides that, he was a little uneasy.
He felt that this copy was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
When he was about to enter the office, Cheng Ye suddenly stopped. He changed direction and walked towards the end of the corridor.
That side faces the street.
He wanted to see if the world he saw after changing his employee card would be the same as the world he saw in the early hours of this morning?
He walked over quickly.
The windows are very clean and it seems that the company calls for maintenance every month.
Through the clear glass, Cheng Ye saw what this city looked like during the day.
Although it is only after five o'clock, not six o'clock.
But the sky was already covered in hazy white.
The world made of steel and iron becomes increasingly clear.
There was no difference in appearance from the world he saw just now.
But, it just feels different.
Cheng Ye stared at the billboard opposite for a long time, as if thinking about this difference.
what is it then?
He thought for a moment, then slowly took off the manager's employee badge and replaced it with his own white employee badge.
The world is different again.
He knew what was different...
