Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, felt speechless in the face of the sorrowful and helpless voice of his supervisor, who had always given off the feeling of being cold and heartless. He sighed quietly and pretended that he did not hear it clearly before hastily replying, "New York Medical Research Association Affiliated Hospital, right, Professor? I'll go there right away. Goodbye." Then, he hung up the phone.
He started the car and slowly drove on the spacious road of the factory. When he passed by the slaughterhouse's gate, a guard blocked in front of Zhang Lisheng's car.
"What's the matter?" The young man rolled down the window and asked with a frown.
"Mr. Zhang, there seems to be an accident among the protesters in the field outside. They're showing signs of commotion now, so it's better for you to stop for a while before going out." The young guard handed over a pair of binoculars and said.
The security captain who was on duty was stunned for a moment when his guards suddenly blocked the big boss's car. Cursing in his heart, he wanted to pull this psychopathic troublemaker away but right at this moment, he saw that Zhang Lisheng had actually taken the binoculars and put them in front of his eyes.
"It's not like they're blocking the main road, I'll just turn …" Zhang Lisheng said nonchalantly as he looked into the distance and saw about thirty to forty people gathered together by the side of the road at the end of the branch road in an agitated manner.
The young guard hurriedly explained, "Mr. Zhang, the reason why these people braved the temperature of -10 degrees to stay outside the factory to protest is because LS's expansion has taken away their jobs.
In such a situation, I'm afraid that they'll have an extreme reaction if they see a luxury car driving out of the factory. "
Upon hearing his subordinate's words, the security captain was shocked. He also hurriedly squeezed himself to Zhang Lisheng's car window and added, "That's right, Mr. Zhang. If they want to attack the factory, we can use weapons to deter them.
However, if you go on the road, we can't do anything as the factory's security no matter what they do. "
The warning from the two employees made Zhang Lisheng's eyes widen in astonishment. "They're not protesting against the government's opening of Shrimp World No. 2, but they're protesting against LS's expansion!
Oh sh * t! No wonder those slogans say something like opposing cold-blooded capitalists and monopoly! I've never known that slaughtering pigs and sheep is such a good job that it's actually worth it for people to hide in their cars in the heavy snow and write slogans during the Christmas holiday instead of eating turkey by the fireplace.
Are these fellows crazy? "
Looking at the puzzled look of the big boss, the security captain felt speechless. He had experienced the hard days of unemployment after he retired and knew very well what it felt like to be chased to the streets by the bank because he could not afford the housing loan. He had to bring his wife and children to line up early just to get a clean bed and have a good night's sleep.
He knew that what he should do now was to use his own personal experience to tell this dazed young industrialist in front of him that the expansion of LS had actually caused great harm to many people. However, the salary of more than 70,000 dollars a year, which was nearly double that of the employees of the same position and work in other companies, made him unable to open his mouth at all.
At this time, the young guard next to the security captain nodded against his conscience. "Mr. Zhang, the expansion of LS in the eight metropolitan areas of the United States will affect the jobs of tens of thousands of people. With such a large base, there will definitely be lunatics appearing. You must be extra careful in the near future."
"What I hate the most are these lunatics who don't know anything, but of course, as a normal person, I'll still take a detour when I see them." Zhang Lisheng nodded with a calm expression that did not match his age and smiled at the guard. "Thank you for your kindness, young man.
Eh, I feel a sense of familiarity with you. I seem to have seen you several times before. "
"I've answered your questions at the door a few times and even helped you a few times." The young guard clenched his fist without anyone noticing and replied.
"I see. What's your name then? Did you drive to work or did you take the commuter bus?"
"My name is Fanster Mig, Mr. Zhang. I usually take the bus but I happened to drive today." The guard was stunned for a moment before replying.
"That's great, Mr. Fanster. I don't think your car will be luxurious enough to attract the attention of those protesters, right? Can you do me a small favor today and send me back to the city?"
"That would be my honor but I'm still working …" Fanster suppressed the excitement in his heart and said pretentiously.
"I'll give you a day off, young man. Go drive and pick me up in front of my office building later.
As for you, Mr. Security Captain, you've let me know how much pressure your security work is under now. You've also won a special bonus of 2,000 dollars for all your colleagues. "Zhang Lisheng said as he slowly reversed the car and returned to the front of the office building.
Not long after he got off the car and waited, he saw an ancient yellow Ford car stopping in front of him.
Zhang Lisheng got into the back seat of the car and said with a smile, "This car is not bad, Fanster. Do you know the New York Medical Research Association Affiliated Hospital? Let's go there."
"Yes, Mr. Zhang. Please take a seat." Fanster, who had secretly trained several times on what kind of tone he should use to talk to Zhang Lisheng when he was alone with him, still replied in a slightly weak voice. Then, he started the car and drove out of the factory.
Just as Zhang Lisheng expected, those protesters really had no interest in this Ford that looked like it was worth less than 3,000 dollars. They just let it drive on the main road safely.
"Oh, Fanster, looks like we're safe now." The car accelerated on the main road to New York City. Zhang Lisheng smiled and looked at the snowy scenery outside the window before dialing Tina's phone number.
The phone rang for several dozens of seconds and was only picked up when it was about to hang up automatically. A girl's lazy and slightly hoarse voice resonated from the phone. "Good morning, baby. Oh, it seems like it's already noon now. Last night, Tina, Sheila, and I had a party for the entire night. How nice would it be if you could come?"
"I want to go too, but I can't go home after 12 o 'clock during Christmas. Who asked my mom to be an educator?"
"I know, baby. Where are you now? I'll go find you."
"I'm rushing to the New York Medical Research Association Affiliated Hospital now …"
"Oh my god! Did something bad happen?" Tina seemed to have snapped back to reality right away and exclaimed.
"Yes, an accident has happened. My supervisor's sister, Professor Effiny, was attacked in the laboratory on Shrimp B1 Island.
It's said that an intelligence agent from a hostile country who knows if they exist or not has snatched away a lot of information and materials in the laboratory and even almost smashed her head.
I remember you said before that your grandfather is an authority in neurosurgery. Can you … "
"I'll contact the best neurosurgeon for you as soon as possible, baby, and then I'll wait for you in the hospital …"
"Thank you, Tina, but you only need to contact the doctor. The hospital is very boring, so it's better for you to look for Tina and Sheila …"
"Don't worry, I'll bring them to the hospital together. They must be very happy to participate in such an exciting thing like the laboratory on Shrimp B1 Island being robbed by a spy.
Oh, that's right! Don't tell me that the mysterious Gold Core has also been snatched away? " Tina, who had been very interested in this mysterious thing ever since she accidentally heard Zhang Lisheng mentioning the spiritual monster's Gold Core in the past few days, exclaimed in surprise.
"Unfortunately, you've guessed it right. Professor Steven has specifically mentioned that the Gold Core has disappeared, so we have no choice but to postpone our experiment on the man-made monster."
"This is really unfortunate, baby. I have a hunch that the thief's goal is most likely that Gold Core. Not only that, but he's probably a spy sent by the Chinese government." Tina became silent for a while and suddenly blurted out.
After saying so, as though she suddenly recalled that Zhang Lisheng always claimed to be a Chinese, she hurriedly apologized, "Oh, I don't mean anything else. I just feel that only Chinese people know the value of the Gold Core …"
"It's nothing, Tina. I'm not one of those rude and shallow 'patriots.' I won't get angry just because of a guess.
Besides, the word 'spy' has always been a symbol of strategy and strategy in our Chinese culture since ancient times. The so-called 'spy' has never had a derogatory meaning.
Now that you mention it, you've reminded me that perhaps … "Zhang Lisheng stopped the girl from apologizing and looked at Fanster who was driving. He did not continue to express his thoughts." Alright, go and contact the doctor.
If there's anything else, we'll talk when we meet. "
"Alright, baby! See you later!" The girl said and hung up the phone.
After putting his phone away, Zhang Lisheng looked at the constantly changing scenery outside the car in silence, not saying a word at all.
Time passed by minute by minute. In the silence, the Ford car turned into the circular highway that led straight to New York City.
Seeing that they were about to reach their destination soon, Fanster, who finally did not want to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, secretly gulped and took the initiative to say, "Mr. Zhang, all of the LS employees know that you're a genius biologist, but I can't believe that you're actually already in the supernatural realm …"
"Fanster, you seem to be a cautious person. The group's factory in Los Angeles is about to be completed soon. If you can leave New York, you can go there to be the head of security. Are you interested?" Zhang Lisheng waved his hand and signaled the young guard to stop talking.
Fanster, who had personally experienced the famous saying of 'opportunity will always favor those who are brave enough to fight for it', felt his spirit lifted. "I'm honored to accept this position, Mr. Zhang! I'm very honored!"
"Very good! Since there are already so many lunatics demonstrating outside the New York factory now, I believe that you'll only have to deal with more protesters after the Los Angeles slaughterhouse opens. Remember to make good use of your cautious character, but at the same time, you must protect the company's interests."
"Yes, Mr. Zhang! I'll remember your words!" Fanster carefully savored Zhang Lisheng's words and nodded heavily.
Zhang Lisheng smiled silently and turned his head to look out of the window in silence. This time, the guard who had just been promoted was very sensible and did not disturb his boss' contemplation anymore. Without saying a word, he drove the car into an elegant hospital in the city.
