Chapter 233 Shen Linglan, you win.

In the new January, Chen Mengxue brought a payroll to the villa and asked Shen Linglan to sign it.

Currently, there are more than 40 people in SZ Life Science. The highest salary is 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and the lowest salary is nearly 10,000 yuan. Even for Chen Xiaohong, Shen Linglan pays her a monthly salary and pays all five insurances and one fund in proportion.

This payroll has the seals of SZ Life Science Human Resources Department and Finance Department. Chen Mengxue checked it carefully before sending it over. Shen Linglan only needs to sign her name.

She grabbed a pen and wrote her name in the last column.

Chen Mengxue picked up the payroll, stood there hesitantly for a while, and then said hesitantly: "Boss, there seems to be a problem with the transfer on your original card. The finance department contacted me three days ago and said that the transfer was restricted and the money could not be transferred. I asked them to try again, and the finance department told me today that it still couldn't be done."

Originally, the card used by SZ Shengke to pay wages was the one given by the system, and there was always 20 billion in it.

The finance department could not find out the specific balance on Shen Linglan's card. They only knew that no matter how expensive the equipment SZ bought or what she reimbursed, there would never be a limit on the card and there would never be an insufficient balance.

But this time, unexpectedly, the payment failed several times, and the company's reimbursements and wages were delayed for a long time. In order to avoid chaos within the company, Chen Mengxue quickly told Shen Linglan about this.

However, Chen Mengxue didn't know what happened to the card. She thought that there was a problem with the company's operation, or Shen Linglan herself suffered a loss in financial management, which led to the lack of money in the card.

At this time, she was standing beside Shen Linglan, still feeling a little uneasy. She mustered up the courage to tell Shen Linglan:

"Boss, if the company is having trouble, I can apply for a pay cut! You never asked me to pay back the $500,000 you lent me, and I can always take it out to fill the gap for the company."

Shen Linglan now pays Chen Mengxue 28,000 yuan a month, but Chen Mengxue's pay slip shows that her monthly salary after tax is 35,000 yuan.

Shen Linglan told her at the time that the 70,000 yuan withheld would be treated as a deduction of 500,000 yuan, and that paying the full amount would be considered as paying back the 500,000 yuan. In this way, as long as Chen Mengxue worked for Shen Linglan for six years, the money would be paid off.

But Shen Linglan's original intention was actually that Chen Mengxue had worked for her for a long time, so she could just treat the 500,000 as a reward and did not require Chen Mengxue to pay it back.

But Chen Mengxue never thought about it this way. She knew that her work ability was not worth 35,000 yuan, and even 28,000 yuan was a bit too much.

In her heart, she always remembered that she owed Shen Linglan five hundred thousand.

"That time has not come yet."

Shen Linglan smiled at Chen Mengxue as if to comfort her, "Don't worry, everything is fine."

She took out another card, held it between two fingers, and handed it to Chen Mengxue nonchalantly.

Shen Linglan said calmly, "There is indeed a problem with that card. From now on, wages and company expenses will be paid with this card."

The balance on this card is the money SZ Biotech has earned since its establishment.

Because the system's card limit was between 10 billion and 20 billion, and could only be used to pay employee salaries or purchase items, and could not be transferred to other cards in the name of private transfers, Shen Linglan applied for another card at the time to receive the company's profit.

I just didn't expect that this card would actually come in handy.

Two days ago, Shen Linglan checked the account and found that there was 480 million yuan in it.

This amount of money may not be much compared to 20 billion, but for Shen Linglan now, it is enough.

She doesn't need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, as she owns a villa, a car and a suite.

SZ Biosciences is now thriving. Both health products and purifying agents can bring in considerable revenue for the company, and this revenue is enough to pay the employees' salaries.

What's more, the healing agent that Zhang Shengnan is researching has already achieved some success, and it is unknown how much income it will bring to SZ in the future.

Chen Mengxue breathed a sigh of relief after taking the card. She didn't know how much money was in it, but seeing Shen Linglan's confident look, she felt relieved.

But when Chen Mengxue thought everything was fine, others didn't think so.

Minister Song has already visited that residential community, which was forced to suspend construction, and everyone inside, from workers to security guards, was taken back to the police for investigation.

In addition, Minister Song is also investigating the list of heads of every household in the community.

This incident did not reach the ears of ordinary people and netizens, but it caused quite a stir in the official circles.

Unexpectedly, during Minister Song's investigation, another terrible incident occurred in City A.

Shen Linglan has rarely been online recently, and she only found out about it after Chen Mengxue found the video and showed it to her.

The protagonist in the video is an acquaintance, the second chef to be bitten in the western restaurant.

He suddenly bit a person's neck in a crowded subway during rush hour. The chef bit the artery with a swift and powerful bite, and blood splashed all over the subway. Before the passengers squeezed around the two of them could react, their surprised faces were splashed with blood drops of varying sizes.

At this time, people finally reacted. The screams in the carriage had already reached the ears of the listeners through the mobile phone channels, and they were very sharp and ear-piercing.

The people in the carriage fled in all directions, but unfortunately the door was not open, and several people were squeezed to the door, with their faces pressed tightly against it. This scene was very similar to that foreign zombie movie from a few years ago.

The passengers' fear and screams almost overflowed the video.

"Let us go!"

"Open the door!"

"Help, help, is there anyone?"

The car door slammed loudly.

The video ends here completely.

Chen Mengxue said: "This matter has already blown up the internet. The government dare not just take down the video. They can only add a label saying [may be suspected of spreading false information]. Minister Song just called me and asked if it was convenient for you. She wants to meet with you."

Shen Linglan tapped her fingers on the table—she was thinking.

There were knocks on the table once, twice, and three times.

Shen Linglan said: "Just say I don't have time."

Chen Mengxue hesitated for a while and then said, "Minister Song seems to be very anxious and asked me to ask you to make time for it..."

Shen Linglan was very determined and said, "I'll reject it."

Although Chen Mengxue has been with Shen Linglan for quite some time, she has witnessed her transformation from a timid female college student to an entrepreneur who has the final say. Now she no longer dares to persuade Shen Linglan.

She said yes and went downstairs to answer Minister Song's call.

This incident did not affect Shen Linglan. She did not even open any social software and continued to open the prose book she had just read halfway. Just as she turned a page, a strange female voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

"Shen Linglan, you know that only you can solve this problem, why do you stand aside and watch? Do you know that if you stay out of it, billions of lives in our country and billions of lives around the world will become zombies?"

Shen Linglan had never heard of this voice, but she guessed that since it could appear in her mind without her permission and talk to her in an accusatory manner, it meant that the authority of this system should be higher than that of S109, and it might be S109's superior.

However, even if he is the superior of system S109, Shen Linglan is not afraid.

"When did I bear such a heavy responsibility? Don't forget, I am just a prospective college graduate who is less than 22 years old. Everything I have done before is great enough. Please don't put moral shackles on me. The ones who made mistakes are Shen Zhaoshan, the people behind him, and Xiang Tian, ​​not me."

"But now you are the only one who can find Xiangtian and save the people who have been bitten. If you don't cooperate, the human race in this world will be... destroyed again."

She said the word "again" very softly, and it felt like she had let the cat out of the bag. Shen Linglan pretended not to hear it.

"Okay, I see. Am I not one of the humans in this world? When the world is destroyed and the end of the world comes, I will also be one of the victims. Don't worry, I will stand by the human race."

It seemed that she really couldn't do anything to Shen Linglan. The woman sighed and said, "Shen Linglan, I know what you are worried about. What if I guarantee that what you are worried about will not happen?"

"No. Your promise is worthless to me. I want to know."

The female voice fell completely silent. After about half an hour, Shen Linglan had almost finished reading the book.

Suddenly, the familiar voice of system S109 came into her mind.

"Host, congratulations, you win."
