Someone took Li Zhi and Cuiling to their respective workplaces and met the 'team leader' as Manager Zhong called them.
In fact, their jobs are not difficult either. Cuiling's main job is to replenish the insufficient goods on the shelves, while Li Zhi's job is to transport the insufficient goods from the warehouse.
It’s just that their working areas are not in the same place!
Hongying Supermarket is very large and sells a variety of products, but both Li Zhi and Cuiling are in charge of 'daily life' necessities.
Li Zhi looked at some small daily necessities on the shelves, some of which he recognized, and some of which he no longer recognized. In more than a year, the products have been updated too quickly.
Not only are products from outer galaxies flowing in, the technology in the folded space, the technology in the interstellar business alliance, and various technologies on the earth are all developing at super speed.
It’s changing with each passing day. To describe it in four words, there’s nothing wrong with it!
For ordinary people, although the level of science and technology has made a big step forward, in daily life, the first priority is still to run for a living.
Basically, many positions have been replaced by 'robots' or 'artificial intelligence', but there are still a large number of jobs.
As long as you are willing to put in the hard work, there will be no shortage of work!
With the eight-hour work system per day, overtime has been eliminated in most jobs except for a few positions that require overtime.
After work, everyone can participate in various trainings and practice independently, or you can enter the virtual network and enter the second world, buy products online that are not restricted by region, and even make interstellar jumps through the virtual network to other planets.
On weekends, you can travel and explore. Of course, the situation outside the cities on earth has become a bit complicated now. Therefore, major agencies do not recommend that ordinary people run to the countryside for no reason. It is absolutely safe to stay within the city.
, but outside the city, that’s not necessarily the case.
"You must hurry up and buy a 'communicator', otherwise it will be troublesome to contact you!" The team leader of Li Zhi's area said to Li Zhi seriously.
Communicator?
Li Zhi touched his nose. Well, he really didn't have it. Not only did he not have it, but Cui Ling didn't have it either. The welfare home would not provide this thing.
The so-called communicator is the mobile phone in the past, but now with the advancement of science and technology, the functions of mobile phones and computers have been integrated into the 'communicator', which is as big as a watch and worn on the wrist. It can also be communicated through
After connecting the device, enter the virtual network.
There were 'communicators' for sale inside the supermarket. Li Zhi walked over and took a look. The cheapest one cost only eight hundred yuan and was produced by 'Ice Soul Technology'!
When he was going to collect his salary from the finance office at noon, he would bring Cuiling over and buy one for each of them.
The work is not very tiring. In his free time, in addition to absorbing the news of the past year or so, Li Zhi practices cultivation. Among the employees in his group, it seems that he is the only one who is not an 'evolver', and everyone else is.
After getting off work at noon, Li Zhi found Cuiling and took her towards the 'finance room'.
On the way, Cuiling hesitated and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Why do you need to advance two months' salary? It's not very safe for us to keep it on our bodies."
She couldn't hide the worry in her voice. Their salary was more than 10,000 yuan. She had never seen so much money since she was a child, so she felt very uneasy!
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Li Zhi comforted her with a smile, and explained the use of the money: "Look, the place where we work is not close to the orphanage, so we go back to live every day.
It’s definitely unrealistic and a waste of time, so we have to find a place to stay nearby.”
After a slight pause, he continued: "In addition, we also need expenses in our daily lives, and we don't have a penny in our hands now. This is definitely not possible."
"Isn't it enough to advance one month's salary?" Cuiling defended in a low voice. Anyway, in her heart, it was not safe to have so much money in her hands.
Li Zhi shrugged, smiled and didn't say much. She couldn't understand and there was nothing she could do. Anyway, she had already withdrawn it, and she was embarrassed to return it.
After arriving at the finance room, it was easy to state my name and withdraw my salary. However, the people in the finance room wanted to transfer money to Li Zhi and the two of them, but there was no 'communicator' and there was no way to receive it.
Another thing, the finance office wants to deduct ten psychic energy blocks from each of them!
The money can be directly converted into cash, but paying less with psychic energy blocks is not possible. No matter what the other party's plan was, Li Zhi chose to 'disagree'.
"No, ten psychic blocks per month is legal. We have paid two months' salary in advance, so twenty psychic blocks per person cannot be less. If you don't give it, then I'm sorry, I can only
Go find Manager Zhong and ask her what the situation is." Li Zhi said calmly.
The two people in the finance room looked at each other and gave them all the psychic blocks with a sullen look on their faces.
When she came out, Cuiling was a little worried. She thought that since she and Li Zhi had just arrived, they should not conflict with the company's personnel, especially those in the finance office.
Li Zhi, on the other hand, smiled and said nothing. He was just an ordinary staff member in the finance office. He thought the two people came from the orphanage and thought they were easy to bully, so he wanted to take advantage of them.
"Let's go and buy a 'communicator' first, otherwise you have to carry cash with you when you go out. It's not safe." Li Zhi changed the subject with a smile.
Cuiling's eyes lit up. Although she grew up in an orphanage, she didn't even know what a 'communicator' was.
"It's quite expensive!" he whispered hesitantly.
Li Zhi laughed and said: "It's not expensive. The cheap one only costs a few hundred yuan, and the average one only costs more than a thousand yuan. Moreover, it is a necessity of life. If we want to better integrate into this society, it is an indispensable need."
A 'communicator'."
Cuiling was convinced by Li Zhi, and without saying anything, she followed Li Zhi to the "communicator" sales area of the supermarket. One by one, the communicators were packed in packaging boxes and hung on the shelves.
"Let's buy this!" Cuiling directly chose a gray-black 'communicator' produced by Binghun Technology. The name on the box was 'Little Binghun' communicator.
"Is this the cheapest?" Li Zhi also saw many brands, but there are only three communicators under one thousand yuan to choose from. One is the 'Little Ice Soul' chosen by Cuiling, and the other two are
A brand that Li Zhi had never heard of.
"Yes, this one is not only the cheapest, but also the most practical. Basically, ordinary people and working-class people use this one. Its advantages are solid leather and durability, and 'Ice Soul' is also a big brand, so I chose this one.
More!" Cuiling turned around and gave Li Zhi some popular science.
"Do you know the brand 'Binghun'?" Li Zhi looked at her and asked curiously.
Ice Soul Technology's 'Little Ice Soul' communicator only costs 888 yuan, which is the lowest price among all communicators. The remaining two communicators with prices below 1,000 yuan are both.
Nine-nine-eight.
"You know, Ice Soul Technology is a subsidiary of Ice Soul Group. Now Ice Soul Virtual Entertainment Company is the company with the highest market value after the Earth was listed on the 'Star Exchange'. In addition, Ice Soul Group also has its own
Star Fleet, Mars City." Cuiling began to educate Li Zhi on popular science.
‘Star Exchange’? The most valuable company on earth?
"Hey!" Cuiling suddenly sighed and whispered: "But the Ice Soul Group seems to be having a hard time now. Many consortiums from other galaxies want to get involved in the virtual network application. After this year, just
There are dozens of newly released virtual games. Although the 'Second World' still occupies a mainstream position, it has also lost many users to technology game virtual companies from other galaxies.
Secondly, the Ice Soul Group has encountered resistance from various countries and consortiums in various fields, and its current scale is much smaller than before."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that he had said too much, so he stuck out his tongue in embarrassment and said: "Oh, why am I telling you this? Although the Ice Soul Group is not as powerful as before, it is still an international leader.
It is a super first-class large company, so the products of Binghun Group are still of high quality."
He took a 'Little Ice Soul' communicator and handed it to Li Zhi. He also refused to let Li Zhi choose other styles of communicators. As he walked out, he said: "This communicator from the Ice Soul Group is both functional and safe.
The performance is no worse than those products that cost more than a thousand yuan. Many people say that this product is sold by Binghun Group at a loss, just to be conscientious and provide some benefits to ordinary people within their ability. It is not
In order to make money, so we buy this, and we will definitely not buy a bad one!”
Li Zhi touched his nose. It seemed that the Ice Soul Group's reputation, especially its reputation and status in the hearts of ordinary people, was quite high.
Of course, this is also related to the price. If there is a cheaper product, Li Zhi thinks she will choose the cheaper product.
After checking out and paying, I took the ‘communicator’ with me.
Li Zhi had a new identity, and the place of registration, like Cuiling, became a welfare home. After various bindings, he registered a 'bank online account'.
Cuiling took Li Zhi and immediately deposited all the money in her hands into the ATM. Then she breathed a sigh of relief. She felt unsafe walking with more than 10,000 yuan on her body.
"We don't go to work until four o'clock in the afternoon. What are we going to do now? Shall we eat?" Cuiling asked Li Zhi. At noon, you will be responsible for the work product. You can get it by swiping your work badge in any restaurant in the supermarket.
A 'work meal' worth thirty-five yuan.
"Well, let's go eat first!" Li Zhi thought for a moment and nodded. He was a little hungry. In addition, he also needed to check something on the Internet.
I found an entrance to a restaurant on this floor. After walking in, I received a work meal without anyone, and then I found a place with few people and sat down.
"Do you know how to rent a house?" Li Zhi asked her.
Li Zhi doesn't know what useful 'APP' software is on the Internet now, but he knows that if he wants to find a house nearby for daily living with Cuiling, it is far less convenient than relying on the Internet to find it by himself.
Quick.
Cuiling laughed playfully and whispered into the communicator on her wrist: "Xiaobing, come out!"
"Why!"
A colorful projection about twenty centimeters tall appeared in front of Cuiling.
Li Zhi was stunned when he saw the familiar influence, but he quickly came back to his senses. He couldn't laugh or cry, "Smart Xiaobing", since it is a product of Binghun Group, it must come with "Smart Xiaobing"
This software is so confusing, why have I forgotten all this?
"Master, do you have any orders?"
Xiaobing's virtual influence asked with a smile!
Li Zhi watched from the side. He hadn't seen him for more than a year. He really missed Xiaobing. However, why didn't Xiaobing or Binghun Intelligence notice him when he appeared?
Little did he know that the Lord Nebula, the center of the Interstellar Business Alliance, had announced Li Zhi's death, and all previous information about him had been erased, so now he was completely a 'newcomer'.
The 'Smart Xiaobing' in front of Cuiling is just a virtual program and has no real thoughts of its own.
"We want to find a house nearby. Can you help us find it? It shouldn't be too far from where we work, and the price isn't too bad." Cuiling told it her request.
"Okay, Master, please wait a moment, Xiaobing will look for it for you!"
Soon, a series of square circles in the surrounding neighborhoods appeared in front of Cuiling and Li Zhi in the form of virtual projection! (To be continued)
