He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun in the sky was still dazzling, no different from the one on the earth. There were blue sky, white clouds, and a semicircular moon next to it. He looked across the entire sky and found nothing else.
All this seems normal, but Manager Wang's words mean that all this is abnormal.
Scorpion is very accurate in judging people. Whether the other party is acting, whether what they say is true, and the respect in the words, these cannot deceive people.
All this means that what the other party said is true, but the surrounding...
Scorpion took a deep breath. He didn't say anything. Instead, he followed Manager Wang to an office and went through the formalities. They mainly registered his name and got him a card reading machine. His work ID was just a simple superficial identity.
The other, more critical thing is a card similar to a bank card. This one is the same as the one he filled out manually before, and is placed directly into a plastic bag.
The person who applied for the work card was in a separate room. They were waiting outside, and the other party took out the work card.
Even if he didn't go in, Scorpion knew that there must be computers and other modern office machines inside. Otherwise, this thing wouldn't be so fast.
After Manager Wang came out, Manager Wang said with a smile, "Okay, it will be fine today. Your monthly salary is 1,500 yuan. If you complete the work on time every day, you will get a bonus for a month. This salary is not low."
"Buying a pound of fat here only costs 3 yuan, but your house will be deducted by 300 yuan every month, and your five types of insurance will also be deducted by nearly 200 yuan each. But even so, you can still save a lot of money every month."
"The house costs 300 yuan per month. After 5 years, this house will be yours. In addition, when you just filled in the information, I saw that you are 48 years old?" Manager Wang asked.
"Yeah." Scorpion listened silently. The price and everything around it were very strange. It was so strange that the crazy thoughts in Scorpion's mind were almost ready to come out, but he couldn't believe it!
Because this is impossible no matter how you think about it! But this is the most reasonable explanation.
But he needed other corroboration.
"When you filled out the information before, you said there was no one else in your home? Are you alone?" Manager Wang asked again with a smile.
"Yeah." Scorpion nodded honestly.
"Xiao Wen, I think you are an honest person. If you work hard, you can save a few hundred yuan every month, which is pretty good. Moreover, you now have a job in a national enterprise. You work hard. After a year and a half, I will go to the next town to help you introduce someone to you. Maybe there will be a yellow flower girl." Manager Wang said with a smile.
"Thank you Manager Wang." Scorpion raised his head and looked at Manager Wang in shock, but he still thanked him.
His astonishment turned into happiness in Manager Wang's eyes.
"Hahaha, you're welcome, but let me tell you something, kid. It's okay to introduce you to a good partner. Even if your health is fine, it's okay to give birth to a big fat boy in the next year. But there's one thing. You kid, you have to work hard for me! Don't dare to be lazy at work!"
"You must know that everything we have today is given by the government. Think about what kind of life we lived during the Red Mad Wolf disaster, and now? We live like a god, so if you dare to be lazy, don't blame my old man for being unkind." Manager Wang looked serious.
"Manager Wang Don't worry, I will definitely work hard." Scorpion nodded seriously.
"Okay, I see that you are relatively thin. You can take the 200 yuan here and pay it back to me when you get your salary next month. There is a government-run supply and marketing cooperative in the square in the center of our town. You go and buy some rice, flour, meat and the like. Eat well so that you have the strength to work hard! This money is not much, but it is enough for you to live for a month." Manager Wang smiled and took out 200 yuan from himself and handed it to Scorpion.
Scorpion fell silent, and for a moment he didn't know what he was thinking.
"What are you doing standing there? Take it." Manager Wang directly picked up his hand and put 200 yuan into his hand.
Scorpion silently grasped the 200 yuan tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Manager Wang was not surprised to see his mood. He just smiled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, old man, I don't know what the situation is like at home, but I can probably guess it. Now our good days are coming, let's go."
Following Manager Wang, he walked around this small town and large village. Scorpion didn't say anything, but he was observing everything around him, especially at the end of the town. There was a wall around the outside, and there were soldiers carrying rifles on the wall. However, the rifles looked like those from World War II.
After taking him around, Scorpion finally followed Manager Wang to the supply and marketing cooperative, where he finally bought rice, some meat, and some seasonings as Manager Wang said.
After returning to his two-story building, Manager Wang helped him put down these things and left. He also told Scorpion where he lived and asked him to come to him if he needed anything.
Then only Scorpion was left.
Scorpion turned over the currency in his hand. He looked at the currency in his hand silently. This money... was not the money currently in circulation by China. If he remembered correctly, it should be the blue one that the other party had before the major currency revision.
Moreover, supply and marketing cooperatives China have long been extinct, right? At least ordinary people can't see it at all, which was common China decades ago.
And the prices... are weird no matter how you look at them.
And all these show that this place cannot be China, or... it cannot be any country or place in the world.
Unless China can seal off a certain area and prevent the residents there from coming out, this is simply impossible and unrealistic.
Moreover, Red Mad Wolf disaster, Great Qin Empire and other statements reveal all kinds of weirdness.
But all of this illustrates the same problem as Scorpion, that is... this is no longer the earth! But another world!
He can also be sure that the governments that Great Qin Empire or Manager Wang are talking about are China behind them.
So how did all this come about?
This statement is extremely absurd, so absurd that it makes people think it is a dream, but aside from all impossibilities, only this explanation can prove everything around!
