Lin Yi smiled at Jian Zhizhen and agreed without hesitation: "Of course, my sister should be back from filming abroad by now. I'll introduce you two later."
Looking into Jian Zhizhen's clear, doe-like eyes, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
Without thinking, he raised his hand and gently touched the top of her head.
“You and Feifei are the same age and you are both so well-behaved, you will definitely become good friends.”
When Jian Zhizhen heard him mention Lin Yunfei, a fleeting look of melancholy crossed her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a smile. She nodded and obediently replied, "Mm!"
...
After returning, Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen began to act methodically according to the plan they had discussed.
However, each researcher has permission to access and use the core computer room.
To avoid being discovered by these people, Jian Zhizhen's task was to keep watch nearby while Qin Yubai was working.
If anyone gets close, she tries to take them away.
If all else fails, notify Qin Yubai to leave.
Qin Yubai had only been inside for a short while when, sure enough, a researcher came over.
Jian Zhizhen noticed and went over to pull the person away, saying with a smile, "It's lunchtime, why are you still here? Let's go eat."
The male researcher glanced at Jian Zhizhen holding his hand, his cheeks flushed slightly, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll come over after I finish eating."
Jian Zhizhen smiled but didn't say anything. He gently pressed the device on his wrist and sent a pre-set message to Qin Yubai, reminding him to speed up.
This place really does resemble a normal company.
Some people even develop feelings for someone of the opposite sex in the same office.
Unlike the previous food factories, no one had any desires beyond survival.
Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai were both lucky; they fit the aesthetic standards of the people here, which saved them a lot of effort.
The two went to the kitchen area, took some instant food from the refrigerator, and put it on the microwave to heat up.
While waiting for the food to cook, Jian Zhizhen chatted with the man: "I've noticed you seem to work overtime a lot, but our salaries are already quite high, and the meals we enjoy are pretty good, so why do you still work so hard?"
The man looked at Jian Zhizhen with a puzzled expression, as if he didn't understand why she was asking this question.
But he still explained, "Because as long as you earn a billion coins, you can buy a ticket to the upper class and become one. Don't you know that? I thought everyone knew that."
Jian Zhizhen showed no sign of panic at having let something slip, and asked calmly, "I know, I just don't know what will happen after becoming someone in the upper class?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know either. We're not qualified to meet them yet, and we don't know what kind of lives they lead."
Jian Zhizhen nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
Just as the food was heated up, a group of men in silver robes walked in and went to get the food as well.
Chien Chih-chen subconsciously moved aside, but accidentally bumped into the male researcher next to her.
A soft crackling sound rang out.
Jian Zhizhen's hand went numb, and she immediately stood a distance away from him.
The man smiled sheepishly: "The weather has been so dry lately, and static electricity is really bad, especially for us. Our work clothes are made of synthetic fibers, which make them particularly prone to static electricity."
Jian Zhizhen nodded, subconsciously glancing at the silver-clad man not far away.
"I don't recall ever seeing a man in silver like this before?"
Chien Chih-chen is quite observant of the people around her.
If it were just an isolated case, that would be one thing, but she had seen hundreds of people in silver robes, and not one of them was bothered by static electricity.
The man explained, "Because their silver clothes are made of special tin material, the neck bombs they come into contact with are easily affected by static electricity. For the safety of the neck bombs, we specially made those people wear tin clothing to prevent the conduction of static electricity."
“So that’s how it is…” Jian Zhizhen stared thoughtfully at the men in silver.
The man, oblivious to Jian Zhizhen's hesitation, brought out the food he had heated up and called to her, "Yours is heated up too, let's go eat together."
Jian Zhizhen snapped out of her reverie, smiled, and shook her head: "I suddenly remembered there's something I haven't done yet. You eat first."
She took her heated sandwich out of the microwave and left the kitchen.
The man watched Jian Zhizhen's departing figure, looking lost and confused. He scratched his head and went to eat by himself.
...
Back at the door of the central control room, Jian Zhizhen was about to knock when he suddenly received a message from Qin Yubai: "You can leave tonight."
Jian Zhizhen smiled and knocked on the door: "Bai Bai, it's me."
The door immediately opened from the inside.
Jian Zhizhen walked in, sat behind Qin Yubai, rested her head on his shoulder, and watched the screen with him.
"Is everything ready?"
"Seven o'clock tonight."
Qin Yubai showed the repair progress bar to Jian Zhizhen and then hid it.
"You can inform Lin Yi and the others to adjust the equipment frequency in advance, and we'll go back as soon as the time comes."
Jian Zhizhen nodded and looked at Qin Yubai; "Bai Bai, before you leave, do one last simple thing for the people at the bottom of this time and space."
"What?"
"I want Grandma Li to record a video, to talk about how much she struggles at her age. Then I'll put her video on everyone's counter, hoping it will awaken everyone's spirit of resistance."
As soon as these words were spoken, many viewers who were only watching the live stream started criticizing the "saintly" person.
But many more people support doing so:
Honestly, if Jian Zhizhen had gone to save someone else at this point, disrupting everyone's schedule, I would definitely have called her a saint. But she didn't do that. She just wanted to convey the values of our society before she left, not to lead a rebellion.
[I also support this, because I can really relate to these people at the bottom of society. I work non-stop all day like them, but I don't earn much money. Then I see these upper-class people manipulating and executing the lower-class, which makes me even more resentful. I hope Jian Zhizhen can at least tell them that they can resist.]
Just like those revolutionary leaders of the past, their desire to liberate the masses and urge everyone to rise up and fight back wasn't entirely for their own benefit.
Young people should always have the courage to draw their swords for justice.
Qin Yubai also supports Jian Zhizhen.
But he had some doubts: "Can simply letting old ladies talk change their system?"
Chien Chih-chen smiled and said, "Have you seen 'The Wandering Earth'? In the end, it was thanks to the little girl's persuasive words that humanity was able to unite and overcome such strong gravity. The little girl and the old lady are essentially the same; they are both groups that are easy to evoke empathy from."
Qin Yubai smiled as well. For him, this was just a small thing to do, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
"Okay, I'll inform my brother right away."
Jian Zhizhen immediately raised her wrist and sent a message to Lin Yi, asking him to go find Grandma Li and bring her along.
Qin Yubai nodded, initially unaware that anything was amiss.
He only remembered it after he had sent the message.
Jian Zhizhen is already calling him "brother"?
