It's late at night.
Rhode Island was shrouded in darkness and no longer had the vitality of the day. Except for a few hard-working operators who were still working the night shift, most of them were huddled in bed and immersed in sleep, hugging their lovers.
This is a life that those infected outside cannot imagine, but it actually happens in this pharmaceutical company. There is only a thick wall between the two, but it is like being in two worlds.
The infected operators in Rhode Island can live such a good life, and Kelsey is indispensable.
Perhaps Dr. Noah is more popular, but in terms of importance, she is far inferior to the Queen of the Medical Department who is feared by everyone.
At least for now.
Moreover, Kelsey's ability to have such a heavy weight in the hearts of the operators is not only due to her majesty, but also her work attitude that can be called crazy.
Rhode Island, like most companies, encourages its operators to work overtime, but does not force it.
Whether it is a red gold manufacturing plant or a pharmaceutical production line, slogans motivating employees to dedicate their youth can be seen everywhere, and in some places, a bust photo of Kelsey is hung.
In other companies, this kind of behavior will definitely be criticized by employees, and photos will be leaked on some forums, and will be criticized by the outside world.
However, the operators of Rhode Island have never done this. There are no complaints about overtime in the internal anonymous forums. Instead, there are many comments similar to "devoting everything to Rhode Island".
Although most of them are jokes, you can also see the attitude of the operators towards overtime and those slogans.
A new employee once wondered if he said this because he was afraid of the Supervision Department. Later, he saw a post and understood everything instantly.
The post was titled "What's Dr. Kelsey Doing at Night?"
The poster's ID is Coagulant, and his avatar is like two pointed tiger teeth.
The post is very long and has exceeded 10,000 pages. The news posted by the poster is basically the same and can be summarized in two words.
"work overtime".
As the actual person in charge of Rhode Island, Kelsey must be very busy, but working overtime for two consecutive years still surprised everyone.
This kind of behavior is like the Soviet political commissar during World War II. He stood at the forefront of the war and kept pushing forward without stopping.
The boss is so cruel to me, so what can these little soldiers say?
Either follow them and rush forward together, put in more effort and get more money; or do your job well and keep your mouth shut and say nothing.
Employees in other companies scolded them for working overtime because their superiors failed to take the lead and treated those below them as less than human beings. The boss of Rhode Island doesn't regard himself as a human being, so it's naturally impossible for him to spit out sweet things.
What's more, whether or not to work overtime is voluntary.
Therefore, Rhode Island has a very high reputation among the outside world. Every day, many people rush to join here and experience the joy of 996 with their boss.
This also increased Kelsey's workload in disguise and shortened her rest time.
After all, there are only a few operators in the Human Resources Department and they can only do a rough screening. The final decision is still in Kelsey's hands.
As for Noah and Amiya...
The former is now a novice in the workplace, while the latter is still a child and cannot be so tired.
For a moment, Kelsey found the feeling of building Rhode Island again.
The burden on her shoulders could not crush her body, but the trivial matters were as annoying as mosquitoes, and there was no one around her who could entrust her to her.
"call."
Throwing the document aside, Kelsey picked up the cup and drank the coffee in one gulp.
No milk, no sugar. The aroma fills the nose, and the mouth is full of bitterness and coolness. It's like winter rain, colder than snow and sobering.
There is a rare chance that there will be no surgery or drug development issues tonight. The remaining "keys" have been sealed, and the operations department has no important tasks. It should have been a comfortable dream to welcome Kelsey.
But she couldn't sleep.
It's not that she's addicted to working overtime, Kelsey hasn't shaken her vagina to this extent yet.
She just felt a little annoyed.
Because the revenge of the northern snowfield is coming, much faster than expected.
No matter how corrupt Ursus is, its ruling class is not a straw bag and knows who participated in the Battle of Qicheng.
Rhodes Island was engaging in black ops just because they didn't want to leave evidence, lest Ursus use it as an excuse, because that would put him at a disadvantage.
So if you can't retaliate openly, can you just do it in private?
As a result, in just a few days, most Rhode Island pharmacies located in Ursus were subject to "raid inspections", and a large number of drugs and medical equipment were seized, of which ore disease inhibitors accounted for the majority.
Rhode Island staff in some places were also placed under house arrest because local officials said someone reported that they were selling drugs at low prices to infected people and untouchables, and they could not be released without investigation.
Some second- and third-rate newspapers reported on this matter, but the content was obviously processed. It was more like a novel than news. They even connected Rhode Island with the integration movement. There was no truth in it, and it was just for the sake of informing people. eyeball.
No one needs to instruct them, these newspapers will take the initiative to do so if they want sales.
For a time, Rhode Island's reputation in Ursus took a turn for the worse, and its medical market share also shrank significantly.
It is impossible to return to the original situation, and the only way is to stop losses in time.
Fortunately, Ursus officials didn't really want to kill Rhode Island, so there was no need for Kelsey to step forward. Some nobles even communicated with them privately and recovered some losses in time.
After all, ore disease inhibitors are the best in Rhode Island, and they are also cheap.
But still disgusting.
Boom, boom, boom.
A knock on the door interrupted Kelsey's thoughts. She stood up and poured herself a cup of coffee with a cold voice.
"Come in."
"I knew you weren't asleep yet."
The door hasn't opened yet, but the sound has arrived.
The visitor wore a Rhode Island-style coat, a white shirt, and a pair of beige leggings. He was as cute an outlier as Amiya among the high-level officials in Rhode Island.
It is the shadow of the Minister of Supervision.
"What's the matter?"
Kelsey sat there and entered working mode again.
"If nothing happens, go back and remember to close the door."
She hasn't read the resume of the candidate operator sent by the Human Resources Department today. She just couldn't sleep right now, so she settled the matter.
Joining the operations department doesn't need to be so troublesome, but the operators who want to join the medical department must be selected by Kelsey, which is very strict.
This is why the Rhode Island Operations Department has everyone.
To put it nicely, it means that it has all the talents, but to put it at worst, it is just like accepting refugees, except that these refugees who can carry out the operations department all have special skills.
You never know when it will be used.
Just like Ansuo, it's just that he can run away faster with his hook, and his combat ability may not be as good as that of a healthy normal male.
Without this specialty, she would definitely be classified as a "staff member" and work on the assembly line making gold.
"Can't I come and chat with old friends?"
Shadow sat on the other side of the table, looking across with a smile.
"..."
As a result, Kelsey ignored her at all and focused entirely on the resume in her hand, occasionally taking a sip of coffee.
"Okay, I do have something to say to you."
The atmosphere in the office was very cold, which made Shadow feel embarrassed. She could only stop being playful and bring the topic back on track.
"You can come to me during the day."
As a result, Kelsey choked Shadow back again with one sentence.
"I would rather come see you during the day!"
"But you're either in the laboratory or doing surgery, or you're accompanying Amiya."
"I think it's harder to see you than to sneak into the Ursus Palace!"
"At least the latter still has a small chance of success!"
The shadow looked angry and danced. Kelsi's face was as frosty as ice, without any fluctuation.
She wasn't angry, she was just thinking about what she had done these past few days.
It seemed like Shadow really wasn't given a chance.
In fact, this is no wonder Kelsey. In her mind, the one with the lowest sense of existence among all Rhode Island executives is Shadow.
As the head of the Supervision Department, Shadow would either stay in that building or run around the base, not caring about the company's decision-making.
Just like the commander of the Imperial Guard, he will not appear in front of the emperor unless he is summoned.
and……
Compared with other jobs, the work reported by shadows is generally not urgent.
If she was really in a hurry, she would definitely not care what Kelsey was doing and just run over and get it done.
As the director of the Supervision Department, Kelsey didn't believe that this guy didn't know where he was.
"You can come to me at noon."
Kelsey thought for a while and found the flaw in those words.
She is not superhuman and needs to eat.
But Kelsey doesn’t mind eating and working at noon.
"Aren't you going to accompany Amiya at noon?"
Shadow said quietly.
Kelsey was taken aback by these words.
"……All right."
The reason was far-fetched, but she accepted it anyway.
No matter how cold she looks on the outside, Kelsey still has warmth in her heart.
There are also friends who have been with me to this day.
"What do you want to say?"
She finally put down those resume points and began to listen carefully to Shadow's words.
A photo slid in front of her.
"Your baby, do you still remember?"
"Valentin."
Kelsey glanced at the photo and whispered softly.
From the perspective of the operators, Rhode Island doesn't take Valentine very seriously. Although he was allowed to participate in the Battle of Qicheng and his training resources were tilted somewhat, this was normal.
After all, Valentine is very capable and deserves this kind of treatment.
But compared with Raphael's treatment, it is still inferior.
The latter has been promoted to the Medical Department, enjoying the treatment of a senior elite operator and standing at the top of the pyramid.
Going up, it breaks away from the category of employees.
And Valentine…
He is still just an official operator and has not been promoted to the elite ranks.
But actually?
Rhode Island has been paying attention to him from the beginning, and the investigation against him has never stopped, and even the director of the Department of Supervision is involved.
"Baby" is Shadow's nickname for him.
But all this has never materialized.
"What's up with him?"
Kelsey's face looked slightly solemn.
"This kid is probably being targeted."
