Rejecting Mental Overthinking, a Two-Way Choice
Sing Sing closed the resettlement plan for Geggebu and Baobao, then turned to look at the other two.
The Spots are still there, and he's hiding his hands in his hoodie pockets.
The Flower Buds sat upright.
"It's your turn. Any thoughts?"
The two exchanged a glance, then looked away.
Flower Bud hesitated for a moment, then said, "Director Stephen, you can arrange it."
Sing Sing nodded. "That's easier to understand. I get it. Before, everything you did in the lab was decided by others. After a while, you didn't even know what you wanted anymore."
Hearing this, the two lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Sing Sing sighed. Silver Peak is truly inhuman!
These children have been tortured to the point of losing their will.
"I can recommend positions, but you'll need to carefully consider them before making a decision. If you think what I've said isn't suitable, you can also request a change."
"What if I refuse?" The Spot raised his face.
"Reject this position and find another one."
"What if they all refuse?"
Sing Sing wasn't angry at all. "Then learn Chinese first, then law, and get used to living here. Think it through before we talk about work. The cafeteria won't give you less food at night just because you haven't created any value."
After speaking, Sing Sing pointed to a desk that he had specially ordered to be brought over.
"Look at this, what can you tell?"
The puzzled- the Spot turned its head, and without even thinking long enough, blurted out:
"There's slag inclusion in the weld on the left side, the table leg has been hit and is bent internally. The bolt on the right rear is loose. I estimate it can still be used for about another six months, after which the tabletop will tilt to the right."
Sing Sing got up and walked to a cart. "What about this one?"
"The second pallet has fatigue marks on the right side; it may break if it bears more than 40 kilograms. The wheel axle also has problems, and the left front wheel bracket is aging."
Are these things important?
Believing his own abilities were useless, the Spot's voice trembled slightly. "I have no fighting power..."
Sing Sing, now seated again, looked exceptionally serious. "Little Yi, no, Little Little Yi, your abilities are amazing!"
"Facility safety inspection, non-destructive testing assistant, bridge steel structure, aviation equipment, industrial equipment... I'm just mentioning a few places that need you!"
"Of course, you're only seventeen. The bottom line of the Law on the Protection of Minors is there. The organization won't assign you to high-risk areas, there will be no night shifts, and you can't operate dangerous equipment independently."
What can I do?
Learn from certified engineers! You can apply for a professional qualification certificate after you pass the training; your current abilities will only be used as a supplementary assessment.
Her the Spot lips moved several times before she managed to squeeze out, "Thank you..."
He was genuinely touched; the pancake looked delicious.
The Spot never imagined that the useless and incompetent person in the eyes of the Silver Peak scientists could actually do so many things.
Sing Sing wrote the words "trial period" after the placement intention, and then looked at Olivia Carter.
"Little Ao, it's your turn. You like working with plants?"
Flower Bud nodded and hummed in agreement.
"But my ability can only increase the germination rate, and the growth rate can only be increased by a maximum of 40%. It has no effect on mature trees."
Sing Sing raised his hand and waved, indicating that she didn't need to worry. "The nursery needs seedlings, who has time to rush a fifty-year-old locust tree to grow to a hundred years old and hold a birthday banquet for it?"
"Seedling specialist, greenhouse grower, agricultural technician, rare plant conservation, post-disaster vegetation restoration, food production in enclosed facilities... these are all suitable areas. Anyone interested?"
"This..." The Flower Bud's thoughts were similar to those of the Spots.
Over there, their abilities are considered useless, even less powerful than Baobao's one-time self-destruct ability.
In particular, if Silver Peak were to create a clone of himself, it would be an incredible weapon in the war effort.
After a long period of imprisonment and research, Flower Bud's personality also became timid.
"Director Zhou... may I go take a look first?"
"Of course! These are minor issues."
Sing Sing suddenly had a great idea.
"Alright, I'll assign you to the Northwest Desertification Control Project. There's a Lady there named Martha Barton, codenamed Oasis, who's sixty-seven years old, also Mutants, and possesses the ability to Land Resonance."
"Yes, Oasis works there as a project consultant, and also handles logistics. Hmm... her scones are pretty good too."
As he spoke, Sing Sing took out his phone and started a video call. After a few seconds, a straw hat covered in sand appeared on the other end of the line.
"Zhou, what brings you here at this hour? I was just looking at the newly delivered flowering saplings."
"Auntie Martha, let me introduce you to someone new!"
"Call me 'sister'."
"Okay, okay, Martha, this is Olivia Carter, codename Flower Bud."
"She's very capable; she can improve plant germination rates, promote seedling growth, and alleviate pests and diseases. I'm planning to have her partner with you."
In the video, Martha wiped her hands, stared intently at the Flower Bud, and then spoke in her native language, "Why does this child look so pale? Has she eaten?"
Not understanding the accent, Flower Bud was also surprised that the other person asked this first. "Uh... I've already eaten, thank you."
"It's good that you've eaten. The northwest wind is strong, so make sure you eat your fill. Take your time to recover and don't rush back to work."
Don't you need to test my abilities first?
"What kind of test? Take a look around first, and stay until you feel comfortable."
What if I can't help?
"How could I not be able to help? I have plenty of work to do!"
The Flower Bud was still somewhat hesitant. "I don't know much about plants in arid regions."
"I didn't know anything about the flowering tamarisk and saxaul trees here before. After I came here, I learned from the old team leader. Kid, the land doesn't mind if someone learns slowly."
Sing Sing pulled the phone closer to himself. "That's enough! You're trying to use a benevolent approach to win her over before she even arrives? We're talking about mutual selection!"
Who's detaining people?
Martha glared at him through the screen, then turned to Flower Bud: "Take a look first. Whether it's suitable or not is up to you. If you don't like it, that's fine. We can find a more suitable place when we get back."
"I'm willing to go."
"That's right. Send me your clothing size before you come. It'll be chilly at night, so I'll find you a thick coat."
After the video call ended, Flower Bud became somewhat agitated.
Old Zhou, who noticed this, was in a good mood. "Here's what we'll do. I'll arrange an adjustment period for you. If it doesn't suit you, just let me know and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up. You can go wherever you want after that."
"Director Stephen," Flower Bud said, her eyes reddening, her voice trembling with emotion, "Thank you."
"Oh! This is normal work arrangement. If you really want to thank me, then study hard and work well."
And one more thing! Remember to pay your taxes according to the law after you get your salary!
