Chapter 161
Blue sky and white clouds.
A large white passenger ship was sailing on the calm ocean.
“Ouch——”
The sound of seagulls, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes shrill, sometimes crisp, is like a constantly ringing alarm clock, waking up the bald middle-aged man from his sleep.
“Wow–”
The moment the curtains are opened.
The midday sun shone into the room from the window, making the originally drowsy bedroom suddenly brighter.
Through the window, you can see the endless sea outside.
Half an hour later.
A balding middle-aged man in a suit and tie appeared in the cafeteria.
He was holding a plate of random food in his hand. After looking around, he frowned because the restaurant was overcrowded, but his face showed joy.
“Good morning, Dr. Evan.”
The bald middle-aged man sat down and said hello to the middle-aged man opposite him with a smile.
“Good morning to you too, Dr. Brady.”
The middle-aged man sitting opposite looked up and saw a bald middle-aged man, and a smile appeared on his face.
The two of them were enjoying their breakfast and chatting away.
soon!
They talked about the business trip.
“Dr. Evan, have you noticed that a considerable number of passengers on this passenger ship are people from our company!”
At this point, Brady lowered his voice unconsciously.
“?”
After seeing the confusion on Dr. Evan’s face.
Brady immediately explained: “What I mean is that the company not only arranged for the two of us, but also our two assistants to go on a business trip to the Republic of Burkina.
According to my observation yesterday, there are many people like us on this passenger ship… let’s call them scientists, to put it mildly, they are all from our company.
But that’s not the point. The point is that these scientists, including the two of us, all come from all walks of life. I even saw someone specializing in breeding sows!
Our company’s main business is electronic computers. Since we have abundant funds, I can understand that it involves other industries, but is this sow breeding a bit too biased? ”
Evan asked, “So Dr. Brady, what do you mean?”
“I suspect that the company is not asking us to come to the Republic of Burkina for a business trip, let alone because the Burkinian government is optimistic about the project in our hands, but has other motives…”
Brady looked very serious and worried when he said this.
result,
Before he could finish his words, Evan burst out laughing.
“Pfft – Dr. Brady, are you thinking too much? Could it be that you have been on the ship these past few days, so you didn’t sleep well at night?”
“Dr. Evan, I’m serious!”
Brady is anxious.
Evan explained calmly: “Of course I know you are serious. But Dr. Brady, have you ever thought that we are all essentially losers in our own industry, so why do companies hire us with high salaries?”
“Why?”
“Because the company wants to deceive us into a remote country, dissect us alive, and then sell our organs to those with money…”
“Dr. Evan, can you stop joking?”
Brady reluctantly interrupted Evan.
He actually thought about this possibility, but he rejected it almost as soon as the idea appeared in his mind.
the reason is simple!
If the company really wants to sell human organs, wouldn’t it be better for those ordinary people to go to those beggars?
Do you have to go to great lengths to trick scientists like them?
Just like these middle-aged people and even the elderly who stay up late every day and use their brains every day, their hairlines have moved back to the back of their heads.
The quality of the organs may make patients with advanced cancer cry when they see it!
Evan smiled and replied: “Dr. Brady, since you know there is no such possibility, what do you have to worry about?
Moreover, even if the company really plans to do this, isn’t the money the company paid us before we left the United States enough to buy the lives of losers like us?
This is an increase of three times on the basis of our already high salary, and then it will be paid directly in one lump sum for one year.
So, you might as well think about what you’re going to have for dinner tonight! ”
“…”
Brady was silent.
at last,
He nodded and replied: “It seems that I have had insomnia these past few nights and haven’t slept well, which has led to some mental disorder.”
…
On this ship.
Scientists who share Brady’s concerns, in fact, there are quite a few.
But there are also a small number of scientists who vaguely guessed some truths shortly after boarding the cruise ship.
Evan is among them.
So Evan’s initial doubt was why Brady only noticed these things now.
When Brady talked to Evan.
There were similar exchanges in other places on the cruise ship:
“Why did the company send us to the Republic of Burkina? A small North African country with nothing, we can’t research anything even if we go there, right? Is it worth the company spending so much money?”
“It’s really not worth the company spending so much money, but what if the real shareholder behind this company is the Burkinaian government?”
“What do you mean?”
“Literally!”
“You mean, the reason why the company sent us to the Republic of Burkina on a business trip regardless of cost is because the Burkinaian government wants us to help them do scientific research?”
“I don’t know the details, but it should be roughly the same.”
“Ah!? No, what kind of scientific research can a small North African country like the Republic of Burkina, which survives by growing cotton for the French, have? Research conditions?”
“Puff-a small country in North Africa? Have you been in the laboratory for too long? The Republic of Burkinafa is now larger than France.”
“What’s the use of a large area? What’s important is the research environment!”
“Research environment? In my opinion, the research environment of the Republic of Burkinafa is just right for people like us!”
“? ? ? ”
“We are a group of losers who are neither high nor low in the United States. Only in a country like the Republic of Burkinafa can we be valued! Only then can we be considered real scientists!
Apart from anything else, if you were in the United States, would you be able to get such a high salary now? The capitalists on Wall Street will just let you go!”
“Hiss… It seems to be true!”
…
When the sun was about to fall below the sea level.
Scientists stood on the top deck of the passenger ship and could vaguely see the coastline.
Half an hour later.
The passenger ship completely arrived at the port of Accra.
Then,
“Is the Republic of Burkina really a small country in North Africa? How can their port be so prosperous? And we can see a lot of heavy equipment!”
“Is this really a port in an African country?”
“Are we going around in a circle and returning to the United States?”
The scientists were shocked to see the constant flow of ships in the port!
Some scientists even almost doubted whether they had returned to the United States.
Evan stood on the deck and saw the prosperous port with a smile on his face.
He said softly with excitement:
“It seems that the Republic of Burkina is indeed a better choice for me!
And their salary is really high!”
