"Sun Church?"
Zhou Jinru's first impression was of the homeless shelter in the suburbs of Longmen, also called a church school. They believed in the only true God on earth, and their emblem was the sun.
But it is not a religion that can cut open other people's heads for their beliefs. With their relaxed and tolerant attitude, even if someone comes to make trouble, they will most likely entertain them with good food and drink, and then send the infidels away with gifts.
If you dare to cause trouble, you will most likely be served by the Guards Bureau. The big shots in Longmen donate money and materials every year. Even the Rat King has warned you not to allow underground forces to open a church near the church school.
Lucille stared at the square plaid patterns: "I didn't expect you to really recognize these patterns."
It took her a long time to come back to her senses, with a complicated expression: "There are many regions and races in the world that believe in the sun. For example, the Huangsha tribe in Sargon believes in the sun god. Unlike the Sun Church, they believe in the sun and the earth. And water flow.”
"You know so much."
"I am also a normal blood demon after all, not an idiot like Warfarin."
Warfarin is not an idiot. Frankness is her unique way of life.
Zhou Jinru didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, and pointed to the pattern on the door: "Does Kelsi know this?"
"She should know, but she may not know the specific meaning."
The landlady regained her energy and patted Zhou Jinru on the shoulder: "You did a good job, do you want me to give you some compensation?"
"Here comes a box of pure source stones."
"You're dreaming!"
But Lucille burst out laughing and stared at the patterns reluctantly: "What kind of situation do you think would make people carve these on the wall?"
Zhou Jinru sighed: "In the face of an irresistible large-scale disaster, civilization is at risk of being cut off. At least one generation will die. There will be gaps in writing, history, technology, etc. Those who foresee the coming darkness in advance will pass on everything they can. Carve it on the stone to preserve the fire of civilization, or become the tombstone of civilization."
His voice was almost inaudible as he spoke the last few words.
But Lucille shook her head: "Don't think too much, this is not a tombstone, let's go out."
When Zhou Jinru walked out, he thought of Tuduo, the Taiyue base, and the deep sea.
"Human beings are brave."
Ke Lucier, who walked out of the workroom first, asked doubtfully: "What did you just say?"
"I said this is not voluntary labor. You should at least give me a reward."
Zhou Jinru took the initiative to change the topic and asked for benefits.
When talking about benefits, Lucille crossed her hands in front of her: "I have already given you benefits, -99% benefits, no more."
"No, that's our code, we can't mix it up."
Zhou Jinru made up his mind to hit Kelu Xier's Qiu Feng, and took a step forward reluctantly. The landlady couldn't help but retreat, and accidentally bumped into the glass cabinet, and the drink placed next to it rolled over into the corner.
(Too, too close~)
But Lucille's cheeks were slightly red. She had long heard that Warfarin said that if the blood demon got too close to the doctor, he would be attracted to his breath, and if he came into contact with his blood, he would not be able to help it...
"Don't come here again, no~"
The landlady subconsciously stretched out her hand to push Zhou Jinru away, pressing her weak hands on his chest, with a hint of refusing to welcome him.
Zhou Jinru stopped. He saw that something was wrong with Kelu Xier's state, so he took two steps back to give enough space.
"Really, I lost to you, why should I stand so close to you."
Sounding like she was complaining, Lucille held the cabinet, took out a stack of coupons from the box at hand, and pushed it to Zhou Jinru.
"that's it?"
Zhou Jinru looked through the coupons and found that the total amount was not much. Even if it was Kelu Xier's mercy, was this mercy too cheap?
But Lucille hummed and said, "That's almost enough. Don't squeeze me any more."
That's all, it's better than nothing. Zhou Jinru accepted the coupons with satisfaction and went back to distribute benefits to the operators.
After leaving the purchasing center, Zhou Jinru went directly to the conference room. He had no time to wander on the road. When he arrived, he happened to walk in with Amiya.
"Where is the Doctor?"
Faced with Amiya's curiosity, Zhou Jinru magically took out the coupons from his pocket and waved them in front of the little rabbit: "It's not easy to make profiteers bleed. Let's do it together later?"
Little Rabbit's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously.
The conference room was full of people. Except for a few old people, even the heads of the equipment department and engineering department were here.
Amiya is sitting in the first place, with Kelsi on her right and Zhou Jinru on her left, looking like a mature leader.
The first third of the meeting was spent with Warfarin, who stayed on the ship, reporting on the situation, and the agent from the purchasing department explaining the material reserves.
Lucille didn't come, but her intention was conveyed. Even if Rhode Island purchased a large amount of supplies in St. Martin and filled the warehouse, after arriving in Victoria and getting the frigate back, they would still have to continue purchasing there. With the increase in permanent personnel, daily consumption has also increased significantly. Therefore, in addition to a certain internal circulation, they also need to re-formulate route plans.
This is not a big problem, because before planning to go to Victoria, Zhou Jinru and Amiya were already re-planning the route.
In the future, we will basically no longer carry out long-distance routes. As a pharmaceutical company, we will appear more in the sights of various countries.
"I will come up with a feasible plan for countries to continue to increase investment. I will focus on studying it at the next meeting. Now let's move on to the next topic."
Zhou Jinru glanced at Amiya, who nodded, straightened her chest slightly, and her crisp voice echoed in the conference room.
"The Personnel Department received an application for employment. The applicant's name is Lyudmila, codenamed Regicide, and a former cadre of the Integration Movement..."
The meeting lasted until the evening. When it ended, Zhou Jinru sat there with a tired look on his face and did not move. Even though he was a doctor from Rhode Island, there were some things that he couldn't force.
Regarding Lyudmila's appointment, there is a lot of controversy within Rhodes Island. On the one hand, senior operators doubt her true purpose. On the other hand, the Intelligence Department focuses on the latest trends of the Integration Movement and believes that it should not be related to the Integration Movement. Getting too close, the common opposition of the two parties almost made Zhou Jinru give up.
It was just an illusory possibility, and he shouldn't insist on it.
Amiya abstained from voting. In fact, she was unwilling to let Lyudmila join the job. She did not object face to face because of her trust in the doctor.
“Compromise and balance are what really drive people crazy.”
Zhou Jinru leaned back in his chair and recalled the last scene of the vote. A vote that should have abstained stood on his side. 4 votes in favor, 19 votes against, 2 abstentions, and the vote passed.
Because the last person to raise her hand was Kelsey.
Normally, Kelsey does not participate in internal voting. She abstains from voting most of the time, but this time she helped him pass the vote in an unexpected way.
This means that he owes Kelsey a big favor, and at the same time he needs to make greater concessions to several people in charge who strongly oppose it. For example, the funds for new equipment cannot be blocked for other reasons, such as establishing a new equipment. New offices should be given sufficient freedom to vote until the next major event.
"I'm really eating Kelsey's soft rice."
He stood up dumbfounded and saw Amiya waiting for him at the door.
"Doctor, did you want to give up at the last moment today?"
Facing Amiya's question, Zhou Jinru rubbed his stiff facial muscles: "Yes, I was the last person to ask for a vote. I was prepared to be rejected. I didn't expect Dr. Kelsey to vote."
Unexpectedly, Kelsey directly overwhelmed the internal opposition with one vote.
In other words, from that moment on, Lyudmila was considered an operator of Rhodes Island, unless she took the initiative to leave.
Amiya thought for a while and said, "This is really tiring."
"This is the norm. The so-called leader is to constantly seek support between compromise and balance, and ultimately achieve the right goal."
If Amiya became a dictator in the future, Zhou Jinru felt that he would be so ashamed that he would hang himself.
"Does the doctor think today's decision is the right one?"
She was asking about her views on the regicide. Little Rabbit had always wondered what Zhou Jinru wanted to do.
Zhou Jinru said as he walked: "We need to redefine the integration movement, define those who are oppressed to the point of being unable to survive, those who are desperate, distinguish the real thugs, and the sinners who are willing to change their past mistakes. This will help resolve the fundamental contradictions and infect The conflict between infected people and non-infected people.”
"Distinguish which are the real enemies and which are the real friends, unite the real friends and attack the real enemies."
He stopped and looked at Amiya: "If the current integration movement starts a war, which side should we, who are also infected, stand on?"
Amiya bit her lower lip. There would never be another weird incident like Tallulah leading someone into the city. When the Integration Movement forces everyone to take sides, they will no longer have a chance to survive and will inevitably be involved in greater disputes. , even though they are a neutral pharmaceutical company.
"Don't worry yet, Tallulah is gathering strength, and we have more time."
…
…
The next day.
Lyudmila did not expect that she would become an operator of Rhodes Island so quickly, so when she received the news, she was stunned in place for ten seconds.
Are your Rhode Island audits so lax?
She was obviously ready to pack up and go home, but now she was informed that she could move into the operator dormitory. Should she leave?
Lyudmila sighed and followed the logistics department staff dejectedly to the staff dormitory. As expected, she lived alone.
This is what it looks like, this is how you treat suspicious people.
Opening the metal hatch, Lyudmila walked in. The decoration in the single dormitory was very simple, with wooden cabinets next to the wooden bed. There was a small gift for the new operator on the bedside table. I didn't know what it was.
Resisting the urge to unwrap the gift, Lyudmila walked to the window and opened the curtains. The morning sunlight shone in through the window. She took a deep breath and clenched her fists, as if to welcome a new life. start.
At this time, there was a knock on the door from the other side of the cabin, interrupting her ceremony. Lyudmila grabbed her hair and opened the cabin door. What she saw was a small Volper girl. Her jacket pocket There is a work sign hanging on the side, code name is Carving Knife.
"Miss Lyudmila, doctor, please come over."
Look, come on.
Lyudmila responded and followed her out. She saw many familiar operators along the way. Almost everyone was curious about her appearance, and most of them looked at her with scrutiny.
Standing in front of the doctor's office, Lyudmila was prepared to deal with all kinds of difficulties. Since she wanted to be an undercover agent, she had to do what others could not and endure what others could not tolerate.
When she opened the door and walked in, she immediately saw the doctor playing with a little girl named Perot. There was a bucket of popcorn on the desk. He threw it and the little girl picked it up. The two of them had a great time playing.
He is indeed a scumbag.
The rumors within the Integration Movement are true. As long as they are female operators, they cannot escape his clutches.
Does this count as throwing herself into a trap?
For a time, Lyudmila expressed great concern about her future.
Zhou Jinru pushed all the popcorn to Xiao Ke, turned around, and said to Lyudmila with a serious expression: "Miss Lyudmila, do you have any experience in assistant work?"
The real face of the Kingslayer is still a little worse than that of a moon-shy flower. Compared with the immortals in Rhodes Island, she can't arouse Zhou Jinru's interest at all.
"No."
"I would like to ask, are you an adult?"
Lyudmila immediately became vigilant: "Not yet, what do you mean?"
Zhou Jinru emphasized: "I am your boss, not your enemy, so there is no need to be so harsh, right?"
As if she meant this, Lyudmila suppressed the dissatisfaction in her heart and whispered: "Then what should I do?"
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to make minors work hard, and we don't recruit child labor. Let's do it. There are sofas over there, there are some in the bookcases, and there are handheld devices. Go over there and be quiet, and don't disturb my work."
On the first day, he didn't intend to embarrass her.
"okay."
Lyudmila responded, and just after taking two steps, she suddenly realized that she was here undercover, not on vacation. Is it really okay to fish in such a blatant way?
She did not obey Zhou Jinru's arrangement. Instead, she stood behind him and quietly watched him work. Within a few minutes, her eyelids trembled and she almost fell asleep.
I don’t seem to be the material, what should I do?
During the integration movement, all official affairs were handled by the leader. Even if someone needed help, it was not her turn. It was too difficult for her to focus on this now.
Half an hour later, Zhou Jinru put a stack of processed documents into the basket. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lyudmila lying on the sofa, her mouth slightly raised.
"The Liboli boy turned out to be a girl, or she was pretending to be a man. The poor Luper didn't even notice it, and even called her brother to be affectionate. They met, hehe..."
Turning to the last page, the plot came to an abrupt end. Lyudmila closed it, her mind filled with thoughts of what would happen next. She rummaged through the bookcase but could not find the next volume. She hurriedly checked the title page. The author One column read Ranger King, a name I had never heard of.
Lyudmila glanced at the doctor who was working again, and resisted the urge to ask him.
I really want to see the plot below.
