Chapter 463: Destiny of Birth (please vote for the big chapter)
"Recruiting factory technicians"
"Requirements: Under 40 years old, with a weekly salary of more than 350 federal dollars, good health, and hardworking."
"The weekly salary is more than 350 federal dollars, and the salary is negotiable."
The man looked at the recruitment flyer posted at the door, then looked up at the signboard in front of him, 'Allen Employment Agency'.
He turned his head and looked at the girl next to him who was looking at the recruitment information carefully, "Do you want to find a job?"
"No," the girl raised her head and shook her head slightly, "I knew that after my father lost his job, I often looked at these job postings to see if I could help my father find a new job. Over time, I have developed a habit.
So subconsciously I just looked at it.”
"So have you found a suitable job for your father?"
The man looked at these recruitment notices and asked in a low voice.
"No," the girl shook her head slightly and said softly, "There are too many unemployed people now, and there are basically no recruitment requirements for management positions in large companies."
"Where's the factory?"
The man looked at the wall covered with flyers. Many of the recruitment information on it came from various factories. It seemed that these factories were short of manpower. The only problem was that the wages seemed a little low.
"Although the factory has always been short of people, the recruitment requirements are getting higher and higher,"
The girl looked at the recruitment notices in the factories and said softly, "There are many people looking for jobs now, and the factories can easily recruit people. When my father first lost his job, the upper limit of the factory's recruitment age was still 42 years old. Now it has been reduced to 42."
40 years old, there are many factories that have dropped to 38 years old,"
At this point, the girl paused, "Moreover, the labor intensity of the factory has also increased than before. My father has always been in poor health. I have called many factories to find out if he works overtime for a long time and is old.
Factories are generally reluctant to hire people who work in office administrative positions because they feel they can't do much work and are likely to die suddenly on the assembly line."
“What about other industries that are easier?”
The man's eyes fell on a recruitment job for a full-time convenience store employee.
"Now most bosses only recruit employees under 40 years old,"
The girl sighed,
“People in this age group are physically strong, able to work overtime, and require low wages. They are quality employees for bosses.
"My father, who is nearly forty-five years old and unemployed, is not very popular with his bosses.
"Even if there are some companies that can accept older job seekers, the wages are very low, and they are in the form of odd jobs and part-time jobs. They do not buy social security and medical insurance, and the money they earn can barely support their families, including their mortgage payments.
Not even up to that.
"Actually, during this period, I also knew that my father found some odd jobs, but these odd jobs didn't last long, because the industries that require odd jobs are basically industries in the off-peak and peak seasons that follow the same tide, and only a few have good business in the peak seasons.
Only once every month do we recruit odd workers to help, and most of the time we don’t recruit additional workers.”
Having said this, the girl was silent for a moment. She looked up at the tall buildings towering in the distance, "When I am alone and quiet, I often wonder, did my father do something wrong?
"When I used to work, he often worked overtime until very late. He would go out at 6 or 7 in the morning and come home at 11 or 12 in the evening. I complained for a long time that he didn't care about his family and didn't take care of his mother.
"When my mother was dying, he was on a business trip and could not come back to see her for the last time.
"But he worked so hard all his life, and it seems like he didn't save anything. Grandpa's medical expenses, mother's medical expenses, mortgage interest, and my tuition fees. He finally saved some savings to buy a house, and then he was laid off and unemployed.
"I still can't figure out why my father was laid off.
"He is smart and hard-working. His dismissal notice stated that he was dismissed due to the company's project adjustments. I know that he was assigned a new project, and the new project encountered problems, so their team was laid off.
"But was he the one who made the decision to adjust the company's projects? He worked hard in the wrong direction, struggled, and worked day and night. In the end, something went wrong with the project, and he was laid off.
Why should he pay for someone else's bad decision?"
The girl's back was turned to the person behind her, and she covered her face with her hands so that no one could see her expression.
"In this world, many times hard work and talent cannot change your destiny."
The man behind him seemed to remember something and sighed softly.
The girl's voice paused, and she wiped her cheek,
"I asked my classmate who owns a bank at home. If we fail to pay the mortgage and property taxes, the house may be repossessed and auctioned by the city government.
“There are too many people who cannot afford their mortgages, and there are too many houses being auctioned. The houses may be auctioned at 30% or even lower than the purchase price.
"Our family's loan is 'shared repayment', and the monthly repayment amount is the same. With this repayment method, most of the early repayments are interest, and the principal has not been settled much. We have just started and we don't have much yet.
Years, that is to say, most of the loans we have repaid so far are interest to the bank, and only a small amount of principal.
"Calculated like this, after the house is auctioned and the owed principal, penalty interest and owed property taxes are paid off, we will hardly get any money. The previous down payment and part of the loan that has been repaid will all be lost. Maybe we will
It will also bring debt to the bank. This is still a situation where the house can be auctioned."
The girl turned around and said with a somewhat frustrated smile,
"This is the result of my father's lifelong efforts."
Then she took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"It's much better to say it, Uncle Roger. I don't want to tell my father these things, so as not to worry him.
"I actually have nothing to struggle with. After all, these experiences are all my dad's and he doesn't struggle with them. There is no need for me to struggle with them. Especially after I know that he was very powerful in the past, this struggle has faded a lot.
"Although I still have some unfounded resentment in my heart, I am no longer worried. This 'telling' is my last obsession.
"When my mother was still alive, she often said that being able to live well is the greatest happiness."
People who are seriously ill or about to die often talk about "living well".
In fact, Aini's story did not touch Roger very much. He was used to seeing life and death at the bottom, and fates more tragic and desolate than this abounded in his memory.
After getting used to seeing the disparity at the bottom of the world, he has become numb to such tragic stories.
When he heard this story, he slightly thought of the young man who used his life to overthrow Avis Electric Energy Group.
The boy seemed to belong to an organization called 'K'.
After meeting the young man, he also developed a certain connection with this organization.
Every member of this organization seems to be a lunatic who is desperate for his life, rushing into the fire desperately like moths.
They all seemed to have a certain depressing despair.
Back then, the young man named Joey faced the purest kind of despair, the despair of having his family ruined and no one to escape.
But at this moment, 'Pate' faced a milder and more painful despair. He had worked hard and struggled all his life. He once thought he could change his destiny, but in the end he still fell into a deeper and darker abyss.
At this moment, his life of hard work and struggle in the past seemed to have lost all value. What brought him despair was not a sudden accident, but a certain inevitable necessity.
It is a destiny that cannot be changed even if you spend your whole life.
Of course, the premise of all this is that 'Pate' is an ordinary person who was born ordinary, rather than an extraordinary person who had a glorious history and lived in seclusion in the countryside.
Compared to Aini's belief that her 'father' has always been powerful, Roger believed that Pat might have gained extraordinary power after losing his job. Before that, Pat should have been a simple ordinary person.
After Pat lost his job, he may have met someone from the 'K' organization by chance, and then joined the 'K' organization by chance.
For a secret organization that may have a very high status, it is very easy for a member to suddenly have strong power, but strong power often also represents a high 'price'.
Roger didn't say this to Aine. He just nodded slightly, saying that he would keep Aine's secret, and then motioned for Aine to turn sideways.
Aini understood instantly and immediately turned around in cooperation.
The two looked at the recruitment notices again, and behind them, a hurried man in plain clothes quickly walked deeper into the street.
Then the two of them turned around and walked out into the street.
——
The moment Officer Zaidi stepped through the door, the metal door behind him quickly moved again and quickly closed the door.
At this time, Zaidi raised his head and looked at the scene around him.
Although this ‘safe’ is named after ‘cabinet’, the interior space is more like a small room.
Taking the position of the door as the dividing line, the entire room can be divided into two spaces on the left and right.
On the left is a huge refrigerator with a transparent glass door. Inside the refrigerator are neat test tube racks. Most of these test tube racks are empty, with only some 'reagents' placed on the top shelf.
On the left side of this layer are some translucent milky white liquids, while on the right side are some test tubes flowing with red light, and the test tube racks in the middle of both sides are also empty.
This is the situation on the left side of this 'small room', and on the right side of the small room, there is a row of silver metal cabinets.
This is the classic shape of the federal 'supercomputer'. This supercomputer is composed of multiple computing units put together to form a giant computer. Such computers are expensive.
On the far right side of the computer is a simple electronic screen, which seems to be its interactive device. The screen is turned off at the moment.
Zaidi's eyes stayed on the screen. After a while, he slowly shook his head and walked to the refrigerator.
He glanced at the reagents in the refrigerator, then opened the refrigerator door and took out the seven most colored reagents in the upper right corner.
Then he opened his clothes, revealing the portable test tube bag inside, and inserted all seven test tubes into it.
After doing all this, he glanced at the supercomputer again. His eyes paused on the display again, then shook his head, closed the refrigerator door, and walked towards the metal door.
This time, he repeatedly verified his identity and password.
The heavy metal door opened quickly.
When the metal door opened, his eyes glanced at the monitor for the last time.
He vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.
This continued until the metal door was fully opened before he looked back and walked out.
Then the metal door closed little by little.
Click——
When the final sound of the metal door closing sounded, a thin figure slowly walked out of the void and stared at the closed metal door.
It's He Ao.
He didn't have much time. When Zaidi came back after making a mistake, he would definitely open the metal door again and put back the reagents he took away, and that was the time for him to leave.
This whole incident is actually not complicated, it is just a simple matter of diverting the tiger away from the mountain.
It's just that in the process, He Ao added a little bit of judgment about Rhett's character, adding a little more complexity to the strategy, so that he could deceive Rhett.
With Rhett's suspicious character, if He Ao really directly tried to lure the tiger away from the mountain, Rhett would remain suspicious and stand still even if he couldn't find any clear clues.
So He Ao nested several layers of tricks. He first made a trick to lure Red away from the mountain to draw Rhett's attention to Romek, and then made a false accusation to make Rhett think that He Ao's purpose was to protect his daughter. Finally, he led Red to make a decision on his own.
Ambush'Siege Decision.
In fact, there were many serious intelligence gaps in this fight. For example, if there was no C-level bodyguard like Roger, He Ao would definitely find a way to protect his daughter. Rhett's judgment was not wrong.
For example, Red thought that Ho Ao did not know his true identity, but in fact, Ho Ao had already roughly determined that the person behind Red was Qunxing Pharmaceutical when he used the airship to 'pretend to leave the city'.
Moreover, he also had a mark on Coles. He found Coles as soon as he returned to the city and obtained deeper information.
These intelligence gaps make Red lack some important basis when making judgments. No matter how smart a person is, he cannot put together a puzzle with missing pieces.
Even Rhett still doesn't know that He Ao already knows about the existence of the safe on the sixth floor of the institute.
If he knew, he would never let anyone open the safe.
As for Coles, 'taking Ho Ao to the safe' was the second thing Ho Ao asked Coles to do for him.
This matter is in Coles's interest. The old professor has already fallen into some kind of madness for the data behind the safe.
Of course, He Ao's procedures for entering the institute were also completely compliant.
Coles first used his authority to apply for a 'volunteer' status for him, and then he successfully followed Coles into the research institute.
When he was in the institute, he did not hide himself by walking at night, but walked calmly inside with a mask on, and no one doubted his identity.
Afterwards, he put on the assistant uniform prepared by Coles, and then asked Coles to recruit him into the "assistant candidates" in the name of "recruiting assistants", and went all the way down to the fourth floor underground.
What Coles and Reed discussed in the reception room was also what Ho Ao guided Coles through mini headphones.
First make an impossible request, then take a step back to make a very difficult request, and then let Roger and Elnie, who are the 'baits', stimulate Rhett, and let Rhett come up with a 'plan' in Heao's plan.
The whole process is very natural.
A person tends to trust himself more easily, although his decisions are likely to be made under intentional guidance.
The reason why Coles was asked to find a reasonable excuse to go downstairs, in addition to helping He Ao cover, the more important reason is:
At this critical moment, if Coles entered the institute and went straight to the safe, it would easily arouse Red's suspicion.
The most important thing about this series of 'arrangements' is to lower Red's vigilance.
And this whole set of layout is also the reason why He Ao did not come to the institute to trouble Red immediately after returning to the city.
Rhett's life or death is actually not that important, but the information about the Mars Project and the Fountain of Youth in Rhett's hands is very important.
Ho needs to get more information about the Fountain of Youth and the Mars Project from Red.
And now, he has arrived at the place where these materials are stored.
He Ao glanced at the refrigerator, then walked to the supercomputer first. He walked around the supercomputer, then raised his hand and glanced at the bracelet.
There is no network at all in this 'safe'. In order to prevent data from being stolen by hackers, this computer seems to have no network cable connected to the outside.
This is a ‘physically hacker-resistant’ host.
He Ao reached out and pressed the switch of the computer to start the computer.
