Chapter 100 Impersonation
How to deal with imposters?
"It's already pretty good," Jiang Weimin said. "You can't have it all. You want the freedom to get off the bus and better living conditions at the same time."
"You're right. The train industry still needs development, and the crystal cores need to be used effectively. We can't just spend them on a staff dormitory." Huang Liping was very satisfied with the current situation. "As long as our family can live together safely, we can live anywhere."
She looked around the room and said, "There are five adults and one child in our family. If we add a bunk bed on the floor, we can squeeze into four beds and we can accommodate them. Xiaoru, you and Qianqian can stay on the top bunk, and the three of us can stay in the two bunks below and the floor. Let Chenchen squeeze in on one of the beds."
Ren Ru said, "Chenchen, come live with me. I'm a little thinner, so we can squeeze into the bed together."
Huang Liping shook her head. "No, these beds are not small. Any of them can accommodate a small child. It's not safe for both of you to sleep on the top bunk. Let him squeeze in with us on the bottom bunk!"
Ren Ru listened, thought about it and agreed.
The family of six returned to the previous carriage to pack their things.
Jiang Qian watched as her family members tried to take this and that, and advised them, "There's no need to take everything back. Just take some things you use in daily life. Sheets, quilts, mattresses, and other things might be needed when sleeping on the floor, so you can take some of them with you. The rest of the large furniture, like the stove, might as well be left here. Not only will there be no room in the carriage, but when the dining car opens, Mom, as an internal employee, can get a discount on meals, making it convenient for her to eat out. There's no need to bring so much stuff. If you need anything in the future, you can come back here and get it."
After hearing what she said, the others streamlined the things they wanted to bring and the whole family moved into the dormitory early.
In order to avoid attracting attention, they chose the one closest to the rear of the car. The bathroom at the rear door is slightly smaller than the other rooms and is recessed. The protruding part of the room just blocks the middle door at the rear of the car. Even if the door is open and someone passes through, it is not easy to be discovered.
After a day's journey, the family had a good sleep in their new dormitory.
The new carriage didn’t have much room to live in, and I thought the whole family might not be able to sleep if they all lived together. But perhaps because they had expended too much energy moving things during the day, and they didn’t sleep well last night, the whole family slept soundly until dawn.
There was still a lot of food left over from yesterday's assessment. After the family ate some in the dining car, Jiang Weimin and Jiang Dong went to the driver's cab, and the rest of the people returned to the carriage they had just moved in. Jiang Qian was reminded by the system.
[The accepted workers have come to process their employment.]
Yesterday afternoon, Jiang Qian discussed the onboarding process with the system.
All workers need to confirm their own information at the ticket office at the booth and leave the personal information of family members they want to bring on the bus. Only then will the ticket machine issue a certificate to the corresponding person to enter the workers' dormitory and dining car.
In order to make it easier to carry, Jiang Qian made the entry and exit credentials into the style of a smart bracelet. The bracelet contains each person's information and various restrictions on the range of activities on the train. The bracelet must be worn when entering and exiting each carriage.
Last night, Jiang Qian distributed the bracelets to all her family members, and now they are all wearing them.
After informing their families that new workers were coming, Jiang Qian and Huang Liping stood at the door. A moment later, they saw the door on the other side of the carriage open, and three men and one woman walked in.
The four people were originally looking around the carriage. When they walked around the protruding wall and into the corridor, they saw Jiang Qian and the other person staring at them.
Jiang Qian knew who was coming when they were entering the information and was the first to greet them.
The people on the opposite side didn't expect that there was already someone in the carriage. After being stunned for a while, they saw Huang Liping's face and remembered that they seemed to have seen it on the big screen before. They knew it was a co-worker and were very enthusiastic.
The new family of four all have the surname Wu, and they are the ones who ranked ahead of Huang Liping in the pastry making assessment.
"When did you arrive? My family and I went home to pack up our things. We rushed to catch the last bus yesterday, but we still couldn't catch it. Luckily, we caught the first bus today." The only woman among the four smiled warmly and heartily, which made people very fond of her. "It's really lucky. I didn't expect that you can bring your family with you when you work on the bus. My family was worried about what would happen to me and my two children at home if he got selected!"
The woman pointed to the three men next to her and introduced them, "This is my husband. The tall, thin one next to him is my eldest son, and the shorter one is my youngest son."
After saying that, she looked at the two people in front of her and asked, "Are you the only two people in your family?"
Huang Liping shook her head. "And my husband, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are all in their rooms. Seeing you're all so packed up, I won't talk much. You guys should tidy up first. It seems like any of these empty rooms are available."
"We'll talk later."
The woman said this with a smile, and took the three men in the house to look at all the rooms, and finally chose the one that was separated from the Jiang family's room.
Not long after the four members of the Wu family boarded the bus, two more families boarded. They were the first and second candidates who had chosen to cook during the previous assessment.
The first place in cooking was won by an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies. He brought more than ten people with him on the bus. In addition to his wife, there were his two sons and one daughter and their spouses. Together with the children from each family, there were more than a dozen people in total.
The person who got on the bus after the old man was a young man who looked no more than 30 years old. In addition to an old man in his 50s or 60s and a girl of 6 or 7, there was also a woman holding a baby.
Like the Wu family, they chose the two remaining rooms and moved in.
When Jiang Qian, Huang Liping, and the Wu couple saw people coming, they all went to say hello, chatted briefly for a few minutes, and then left.
I thought the last person would arrive today, but I didn't see him until the train stopped running in the evening.
Jiang Qian thought she was delayed by something, but she didn't expect to hear the system alarm in her mind the next day.
"You said someone was impersonating someone who was admitted?"
Jiang Qian blurted out in surprise, unable to believe it was true, but the childish voice in her mind gave her a positive answer.
Although the applicants today appear identical to those who took the assessment previously, the train system relies on more than just appearance to identify individuals. During the assessment, we also collected fingerprints, irises, and other data from the applicants. The applicants who reported in today had completely different data from the previous applicants.
Jiang Qian stared at the large screen before her, where the system compared the two applicants' information and data. Even though she couldn't fully understand it, just by looking at the various angles of the footage of the current applicant and the previous one, she could see many differences.
Thinking of the impersonated applicant, Jiang Qian had a bad feeling.
“Can you find where the person who was originally hired is?”
【cannot. 】
The system replied, "If she has already registered and is wearing the bracelet, her location can be located in several nearby cities, but there is currently no way to find her."
"Okay." Although Jiang Qian was a little disappointed, she knew that there was nothing that could be done about it.
How to deal with imposters?
"Do you have a way to control her and hand her over to the rescue team?"
The system did not answer, but a few seconds later, everyone in the car heard a cry of surprise coming from outside the window.
The person who was originally at the front of the line was tied up with a metal chain all over his body. Then, all the screens in the booth began to flash red.
The team member who noticed the abnormality in the guard booth came out immediately. Just as he was about to ask what happened, he saw a line of words appear on the flashing screen.
After being stunned for two seconds, the young team member broke out in a cold sweat in the hot weather and quickly asked his teammates to report to his superiors.
Two minutes later, other team members came to take over the guard post, and the team members on duty that day escorted the people away.
…
There was a commotion outside the station for a while because of the accident, but the train did not change its route because of the accident.
Huang Liping watched the station and the figures shrinking, then turned and asked, "How do you think the rescue team will handle this?"
Jiang Dong had just driven a bus this morning and was eating breakfast when he heard this. "That depends on the situation of the people they replaced!"
Huang Liping sighed, "Today is the last day. If they can't come, will the restaurant still be open as usual tomorrow?"
"Open." Jiang Qian didn't want to tell her mother anything to comfort her, saying that the family was probably in danger. The end of the world had already arrived, and it was not a good thing for people to be immersed in the illusions of the past. Besides, the restaurant matter really couldn't wait. "I'll arrange it tonight."
So, that night, everyone who had participated in the assessment received the news that they had to gather at the dining car.
Because the last person had not arrived yet, there were only four people gathering at the dining car this time.
They are the old man Xia Pingchuan, the young chef Tong Yuanyang, the middle-aged chef Wu Dayong, and Huang Liping.
During these two days, the four families were in the car, and they saw each other every day. They greeted each other more often, became familiar with each other, and got to know each family's situation more or less.
Old man Xia Pingchuan is sixty-five years old this year. He started learning the craft from a master when he was a teenager. He started out as a kitchen helper and cutter. In his early years, he worked in a restaurant and was his own boss. Later, he worked as a chef in a hotel for more than ten years and retired when he was old enough.
The young chef Tong Yuanyang is a chef at a very famous local chain restaurant in City N. Although he is not very old, he has been working on the front line and his skills have been well honed.
Although the food truck hadn't opened yet, several families had already cooked in the restaurant. As soon as the food came out, it was clear what level of cooking each person had.
Even Old Master Xia said that if he didn't have so many years of experience, he might not have been able to match his master's craftsmanship in the last assessment.
As for Wu Dayong, he also worked as an apprentice in his early years. After learning the craft of making noodles from his master, he opened a ramen shop in his hometown. The shop has been open for more than ten years and is well-known in the local area.
At the beginning, there were only him and his wife, one in charge of the kitchen and the other in charge of accounting. Over the past decade, due to good business, the store continued to expand and the store staff increased by three.
The first three were all experienced professionals in the catering industry, so it wasn't surprising they were accepted. When they first learned that Huang Liping was just an ordinary housewife who hadn't even run a small stall, the looks they gave her were strange.
Fortunately, Huang Liping also had real skills. She baked two pancakes on the spot, which shut up the others and won their respect.
This time everyone gathered in the dining car and was quite polite to each other.
