As soon as they left the hall, E-Goat asked Qiu Ming nervously, "What did you mean by blinking just now? Were you trying to tip us off?"
"Please, brother, relax. I blinked purely to use my male charm to help you resolve the crisis," Qiu Ming said. "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous. I was the one who brought you in. If you're really discovered, I definitely won't be able to escape. So, we're actually in the same boat now."
"I remember I warned you before. Don't make any unnecessary movements." Zhang Heng, who was standing on the side, said faintly.
"Well, okay. It was indeed my fault this time. I apologize for my unauthorized actions." Qiu Ming's attitude of admitting his mistake was very good, and he didn't find any excuses for himself.
"Don't do it again."
Zhang Heng knew that Qiu Ming wasn't lying this time. He couldn't tell from the latter's actions. Qiu Ming's daily work was basically a lie. This made even Zhang Heng, who had excellent observation skills, unable to tell if he was telling the truth or not. Therefore, when he was up there, Zhang Heng's attention was actually on the twin front desk executives opposite him. After Qiu Ming blinked, the two of them didn't show any signs of nervousness on their faces. On the contrary, they relaxed, and one of them even covered her mouth and snickered.
So in the end, Qiu Ming's use of male charm was quite good. Of course, it was also true that this guy liked to act on his own. Moreover, after being threatened, he was a little too calm, as if he believed that Zhang Heng and E-Goat wouldn't do anything to him. Zhang Heng didn't know where his confidence came from.
Just as the three of them were talking, the floor continued to descend, and Zhang Heng and E-Goat saw the scene below.
Unlike the empty reception hall, this floor was very lively. A conservative estimate was that there were at least three to four hundred people. They were divided into several rows of workstations, extending all the way to the back. Men and women in professional attire were sitting in their respective seats, either dialing the phone or searching for something on the screen in front of them. Everyone looked very busy.
"The customer service department," Qiu Ming introduced. "It's the department with the second largest number of people in the company. Usually, it's mainly responsible for customer service. It collects all kinds of reasonable and unreasonable needs of customers and feeds them back to the product department and design department to produce more qualified products. It also accepts all kinds of customizations and provides free on-site guidance."
Just as Qiu Ming was speaking, a young man ended the call. He got up, put on his clothes, and walked towards the three of them. He nodded and rose to the next floor.
"No wonder there are so many people. I remember that Shengtang Morgan has many subsidiaries in New Shanghai 0297. They are spread across many industries. There should be a lot of people who buy your products," E-Goat said.
"No, the customer service department you're talking about is in the Shengtang Morgan Building outside. The customer service department here doesn't serve individuals, but the companies that have settled in Shengtang Morgan."
"Company?"
"Yes, of course, it's not the roadside restaurants and neighborhood convenience stores on the first and second floors, but big companies with various well-known brands, such as the Divine Ship Computer you use, the Hua Pai Motherboard, or the Dillon Mouth for girls. New Shanghai 0297 is a new type of city invested and built by Shengtang Morgan. You can think of it as a large shopping mall. After it's built, it needs businesses to move in to be active. In addition to Shengtang Morgan's own subsidiaries, it will also attract other businesses. In return, the new cities invested and built by other companies will also be open to Shengtang Morgan and invite Shengtang Morgan to move in."
"Just like signing a multilateral trade agreement?"
"Yes."
"Then, those companies also need to buy a certain product from Shengtang Morgan. What product?" E-Goat frowned.
"A necessary means of production."
"Energy?"
"Something like that."
Qiu Ming didn't explain in detail. He led the way and led Zhang Heng and E-Goat through the large number of workstations in the customer service department. Then, he swiped his work pass and opened the frosted glass door at the end of the corridor.
This time, the path in front of the three of them branched off. On the left was a staircase going up, and on the right was what seemed to be the staff rest area. There was a gym, a cafe, and a reading corner. However, Qiu Ming didn't choose either of these paths. He pointed to a door at the end of the corridor that seemed to have a high security level and said to E-Goat, "If you want to go to Xu Qian's area, this is the fastest way, but you'll need your precious finger."
The latter followed his instructions and took out the small 5cm x 10cm box from his pocket. He pressed the button at the back, and the finger inside popped out. He didn't know how this box was made, but the finger inside still maintained its original temperature, as if it was growing on his body.
E-Goat checked the bracelet and work pass, then entered his fingerprint. Only then did the heavy door in front of him open. As soon as the door opened, E-Goat felt the change in temperature and immediately realized what was behind it.
"This is the computer room?"
"That's right." Qiu Ming nodded.
E-Goat thought that he should be very familiar with this place, but when he entered and saw the endless cluster of equipment, he was stunned. "This … How many servers are there here?"
"About a million. This floor and the twelve floors below have them."
"Shengtang Morgan hid a million servers here. Why? Why do they need such a large amount of computing power? "
"It's not an easy task to maintain the normal operation of New Shanghai 0297. We need to collect information from all aspects to ensure that every part is operating normally, every story can be told normally, and the stories are connected to each other to reduce the bugs in the operation as much as possible."
"Why do I understand every word you say, but I have no idea what you're talking about when you put them together?" E-Goat asked, puzzled.
"It doesn't matter. You'll know when you keep walking," Qiu Ming said as he walked toward the door at the other end of the computer room.
E-Goat, who was full of questions, and Zhang Heng, who was silent, followed behind him.
Ten minutes later, the three of them passed through the computer room and arrived at another door. E-Goat opened the door and took the elevator outside to the third floor.
"Where is this?" E-Goat asked Qiu Ming before opening the door.
"The design department," Qiu Ming said. Qiu Ming said, "All the design processes before production are completed here. We've hired the best playwrights, logicians, and a team of more than a hundred experts to provide the corresponding design consultation. Coupled with the information stored in the servers just now, we'll be able to design the perfect product."
