Chapter 406 Deep Virtual Reality 234
"Ms. Tess."
When Tess heard Xie Ning call her name, her eyes lit up and she ran over. She had been thinking for a long time: since Rui Ning wanted to sell medicines at designated locations, why not use her?
Although her slum was a bit dilapidated and the people there were a bit mixed, she could still manage everyone there, and her people weren't afraid of hardship!
Although Tess appeared confident on the surface, she was actually a little flustered inside.
She knew all too well the value of a person. If people like them went to work in a factory, they would be far less efficient than a sophisticated machine. People are machines too, with a limited lifespan and are easily damaged. They are disposable products; once they break, they break, and there are no replacement parts.
Simple and monotonous assembly line work, manual labor, and the like have all been replaced by machines, and most people without knowledge and skills have been eliminated, including those here.
Most of them do not have stable jobs and rely on doing odd jobs to supplement their family income, or they collect and sell recyclables.
A small number of people have stable jobs, but those jobs are all at the expense of their health.
These people who were eliminated were already struggling in dire straits, and now they are like rats in a stinking ditch, only able to beg for the bare minimum of necessities in dark corners.
Tess's idea was simple: they would help Ruining sell medicine and take a cut, so that not only could more people buy the medicine at a lower price, but they would also have an extra meager income.
Hearing Tess say this, Xie Ning swallowed the words that were about to come out.
He simply nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing the other person's eyes growing brighter, Xie Ning smiled and continued, "But I don't just want to sell."
In her eyes, talent is the most important resource.
"I will be expanding later, and I will definitely be hiring. I wonder if Ms. Tess would be willing to become an agent to handle the recruitment?"
She was short-staffed, but she couldn't expand the scale without screening new employees. She also needed employee loyalty. After all, Ruining Pharmaceutical was still a fledgling company, and many aspects were not yet perfect. She needed to carefully guide it through its vulnerable period.
Xie Ning didn't know the exact number of people in the building, but with a rough calculation, the number of residents should be no less than 50,000.
As for Tess... Xie Ning looked up and met the gaze of this nearly 2.2-meter-tall, robust woman. She was able to become the building manager at such a young age, probably because in addition to the power brought by her superpower, her management skills were also quite good.
Although the building manager's authority was not great, Tess earned the respect, and... fear, of everyone Xie Ning encountered along the way.
Tess flashed a big smile, her perfectly white teeth dazzlingly bright. Her breathing became a little heavy, but she had only nodded halfway when her face froze. As if she had thought of something, Tess's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Xie Ning with a gloomy expression.
"Sir, may I ask you a question?"
Xie Ning was puzzled, but still gently gestured for Tess to continue asking.
Tess took a deep breath. "Sir, I'd like to ask what requirements your factory has for its employees? Are there any regulations regarding skin, bone, muscle, organ, and eye transplants?"
"Regulations?" Xie Ning frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Tess meant, and then looked at Wan Yuan.
Wan Yuan was also taken aback for a moment, but he instantly understood Tess's meaning and whispered, "In order to improve employee performance and work efficiency and maximize productivity, some factories will interfere with the employees' bodies and require them to have prosthetic bodies..."
Some people are so disabled that they don't even have the means to get a prosthetic limb, but others choose to get prosthetics, either voluntarily or involuntarily, in order to adapt to social work and survive.
Of course, the company will not bear the cost of prosthetics for these employees, and the employees have to take out loans to install prosthetics in order to work, which is a deeper level of oppression and exploitation.
Xie Ning stood at the window. Outside, the sky was dark and gloomy, and a cold wind pierced through the broken window, chilling her to the bone.
"Ruining will not force any employee to undergo prosthetics. The company was founded with the aim of enabling more people to buy medicines at normal prices and creating more job opportunities."
Xie Ning's voice was very firm.
