Chapter 21 I thought about it



The sentence above put the subordinate in a difficult position. The adjutant looked distressed and replied, "Yes."

His eyes were getting tired from staring at the computer for so long, so he stood up to stretch his legs and take a look out from the high-rise building.

The city remains bustling, with towering buildings and crisscrossing streets. A light rain has fallen outside, leaving water streaks on the glass, adding a touch of mystery to the city.

He was preoccupied with Fang Rong and had no interest in appreciating the scenery, so he simply put on a coat and drove away.

Because of Fang Hua's matter, he was delayed for a long time. It was already late at night, and he hadn't found out whether Fang Rong was on duty. He went straight to the feeding room.

He arrived at the wrong time. Fang Rong was indeed there, but he hadn't changed his old habits and secretly brought other weaker test subjects into the lounge.

Releasing unidentified and dangerous experimental subjects without authorization is a serious crime. If it gets out, you'll be fired from your company and imprisoned, since they are not ordinary people.

These are all unidentified objects, and there is a high possibility that they pose some unknown danger.

The door was not closed, and a faint light shone through as Meng Xiuyuan entered, his clothes covered in rain and frost.

Fang Rong was startled by the noise. "Who's there?"

He hurriedly hid the newly arrived test subject under the covers. Suddenly out of the light, the test subject whimpered and struggled to get out, pushing the covers up and creating a bulge.

“It’s me.” Meng Xiuyuan shook the water off his head. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

He looked at the suspicious bulge with a half-smile.

Fang Rong blushed, lifted the blanket, and the little guy inside couldn't wait to run out and lick his palm.

“So cute.” Meng Xiuyuan sat down naturally opposite him, stretching out his slender fingers to tease the little guy who now looked more like a pet.

"kindness."

"You look a lot like Fang Hua when he was little, don't you?"

Fang Rong's face stiffened.

"So that's how you met him?" Meng Xiuyuan looked at him casually. "What's wrong? You look so pale. Did I say something wrong?"

Fang Rong shook her head. "No."

At some point, Meng Xiuyuan's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "Fang Rong, do you want to be a zookeeper for the rest of your life?"

Fang Rong was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

"The layoff rate in this industry is as high as 70%. You must be young and strong with no history of illness. Once you get sick or injured, you can no longer work. In other words, it is only suitable for young people aged 20 to 30. How many more years can you work?"

People under 20 have poor resistance and lack patience, making them unsuitable for this job. People over 30 generally have some underlying health issues.

For example, smoking, drinking, body odor, and athlete's foot are not allowed, because most of the test subjects have sensitive noses and will lose control if they smell unpleasant odors.

Fang Rong shook her head. "I don't understand what you mean?"

"I wanted to ask you, have you ever thought about changing your career?" Meng Xiuyuan raised his stakes. "You wouldn't have to worry about being destitute in your old age, nor would you be afraid of being bullied. What do you say?"

"What else can I do?" The job market is tough right now. Except for a few jobs that really need human labor, most jobs have been replaced by robots. He doesn't have any special skills. Both mechs and superpowers require mental strength, which he doesn't have.

"Join the military, become a first-class soldier, and fight side by side with Fang Hua."

Fang Rong shook her head, "I can't do it, I..."

"You're cowardly and timid, yet you're afraid you can't do it? Right?" Meng Xiuyuan hit the nail on the head.

"This is how you see yourself. In Fang Hua's eyes, you are a shoulder he can rely on, the motivation to move forward, and the pride in his heart."

"Impossible." Fang Rong didn't believe it.

"Would I lie to you?" Meng Xiuyuan was mature and steady, with a natural air of authority that made people trust him. When he got serious, even Fang Rong had to admit that he was an extremely charming man.

Fang Rong was still somewhat hesitant, "Do you believe me?"

Meng Xiuyuan shook his head. "It's not that I believe in you, it's that Fang Hua believes in you. He's bet his whole life on this. Are you going to let him down?"
