Max Dillon, an ordinary technician who couldn't be more ordinary. The family background is ordinary, the appearance is ordinary, and the income is ordinary. But there is something unusual about him. Simply put, he is a member of Osborne's Technical Development Department.
At least to the outside world, he has an enviable job. Osborne's technology development department is not accessible to ordinary people. This also shows that Max has real talent and learning.
But Max was not happy because his job at Osborne was not pleasant. Mai is not very sociable. For a technical person, this is a common problem. It's nothing in theory. But for Max, the source of his unhappiness was that he didn't feel the research atmosphere he imagined in the technology department at all.
Max has a completely new design concept. A bioelectric power generation technology. He once submitted this idea and hoped to get resources and even set up his own laboratory. However, all he got in the end was the humiliation of the technical director.
"The funding from Osborne Enterprises is not something junior researchers like you can get. Complete your work honestly and don't have too many other ideas. You are just a low-level researcher."
This made Max feel extremely confused and angry. He had been proud of his entry into Osborne Enterprises. Because this is an affirmation of his ability. At the same time, in the world's top R&D department, he can freely express his creativity.
But when he actually entered here, he found that the reality was completely different from what he imagined. This is not the holy land for scientific research that he imagined, but a concentration camp full of words such as human relationships, connections, sophistication, tact, and conservativeness.
No one will pay attention to the creativity of a low-level researcher. Even if you have a detailed plan, the person in charge will not even take a look at it. Some colleagues have even hinted that the more outstanding your ideas are, the more they will be knocked back to their original form. The director of the technical department is a power controller. He would never allow anyone to climb up from under him. Therefore, he will not hesitate to destroy all ideas. If he cannot, then he will even use some dark methods to discredit the other party, and then directly drive the person out of the company.
Max was extremely angry about this, but he had no choice but to reconcile. Because he needs this job. No matter what, you have to pay rent. In Osborne's technology research and development department, the salary is still higher than the New York average.
Reluctant but helpless, Max came to a bar to relieve his worries. He couldn't drink enough, so he just ordered a glass of beer and sat in the corner drinking alone.
At this time, a scent of fragrance drifted by and finally landed next to him.
"You can easily get drunk if you drink alone."
Max looked up and saw an exquisite face appearing in front of him. Max swore that he had never seen such an exquisite Asian face. The other party's red dress made her look even more beautiful. This made Max feel a little ashamed.
"Are you talking to me? Ma'am."
"Is there anyone else here?"
"sorry, I……"
"Haha, Max Dillon. Don't be nervous, let's take a look at this document first."
Max didn't even notice the other person calling his name. He picked up the document in his hand and felt familiar at first glance. Looking through it, isn't this the report on bioenergy technology that he submitted to his supervisor before? It's just that some of the above has been changed. And most importantly, the final signature has been changed to Stephen Amell, the name of his boss.
"What's going on? Wasn't this report rejected? And why did the last signature become Stephen. This is my work." Max was a little excited.
"Haha, you are really... Stephen Amell has been the director of your technical department for several years. Almost everyone knows that he is a jerk. But he is still able to hold on to this position, and he has further spearheads. .Do you know why this is?”
"..."
"Because although this person is a bastard, you can't deny that he still has some real abilities. At least he has excellent vision. He denied your report. But deep down, he recognized your idea. So, he decided Submit this report and sign your name at the same time.”
"How could he do this? This is plagiarism."
"Plagiarism? What evidence do you have to prove that this is your work?"
"It's mine, and many people in the technical department can prove it to me." Max said excitedly.
"No, you know very well. No one will prove it for you. Even if there is, he can't prove anything? Once the report is seen by the superiors, your opinions and resistance will be meaningless. The decay of the technical department will not It does not represent the decay of Osborne Enterprises. Once actual interests are involved, it is still a behemoth that you cannot fight against."
"How could this happen?" Max understood what Ada meant. He actually knew in his heart that this was the truth.
"By the way, how did you get this document? If what you said is true, it is impossible for Stephen to give this document to you. Also, who are you? Why do you know these things? You What’s the purpose?”
"Haha, you finally got the point. To put it simply, I belong to another company. Umbrella, I believe that as a technical practitioner, you should have paid attention to it."
"Umbrella was acquired by Hanmer Industries not long ago?"
"Yes, that's us."
"Aren't you in the military industry? Then come to me..."
"The reason is simple. We really appreciate your bioenergy system, so are you interested in changing jobs?"
"..." Max was stunned for a long time. Before this, he never thought that another company would poach him. But he soon came to his senses.
"No, you haven't told me how you knew this. And how on earth you got this document. It can't be Stephen who gave it to you."
"How do we know about this? You can understand that we have people in Osborne. You know, it is the unspoken rule in the business. Everyone is doing their best to find out other people's secrets."
"Okay, then how did you get this material?"
"Oh, this is a long story. To put it simply, I sneaked into Stephen's house, tied him to a chair, covered his mouth with a towel. Then I broke off his limbs one by one. Fingers. Don't get me wrong, I just broke off one of his fingers. And he gave me the material.
If you're still worried, I also cleaned up his computer. And in order to ensure that I can possess this material. He did not record it on the company's computer. I want to wait until I have completed my modifications before reporting back. This will maximize benefits. "
"He's going to call the police."
"Well, what did he lose? A plan that never existed. Or a plan that showed up at his home but actually belonged to Osborne Enterprises?"
"..."
