Su Chen didn't have much to pack, so he followed Assistant Zhang next door with empty hands.
As soon as he entered the building, Su Chen felt a sense of pressure wash over him.
His combat skills were given by the system, so his strength was unquestionable.
However, the aura of power emanating from the security personnel on this floor was definitely not that of ordinary security guards.
Su Chen followed Assistant Zhang unobtrusively. When they reached the front desk, the person there immediately greeted them upon seeing Assistant Zhang.
"This is Mr. Su."
The person's face lit up, and they said to Su Chen, "Hello, Mr. Su. Please follow me. We'll record your palm print, and you'll be able to enter and exit the first floor freely from now on."
Huh? A palm print that only allows access to the first floor?
Su Chen walked over. Recording a palm print was much more troublesome than a fingerprint, but it was also harder to replicate.
Fingerprints were small. It was possible to sneak in by hiding a special mold in the palm of one's hand and passing it off as one's own. But a palm print covered the entire palm. To replicate it completely, one would have to wear an entire mold on their hand. That would be too obvious. They'd likely be caught before even entering the building.
Were the security systems on this floor really this strict?
After recording his palm print, Su Chen followed Assistant Zhang into the elevator.
As they walked, Assistant Zhang said, "Mr. Su, the internal access passes for our entire building use personal fingerprint and iris recognition. Both are required."
After speaking, she placed her finger on the scanner in the elevator and then pressed her eye against the detection device.
"Level 2 access pass verified. All elevator permissions unlocked."
Assistant Zhang pressed 27.
"Mr. Su, the access passes for the entire building are divided into different levels. The special-grade access pass has the highest level and allows free access to the entire building. However, currently, only the CEO has a special-grade access pass. Mine is a Level 2 pass, which allows me to access any floor but not the core research areas."
"The research department heads have Level 1 access passes, allowing them to enter the research department but not the core labs. And so on, the lower the access pass level, the more peripheral the areas you can access."
Su Chen nodded to show he understood.
He was quite shocked.
Although he knew the Chaofan Group was researching mecha, he hadn't expected Yan Bingxue to be so serious about it.
With such a strict security system, there must be even more astonishing things inside!
The elevator stopped on the 27th floor. As soon as Su Chen stepped out, he clearly felt like he had suddenly become much smaller.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that the ceiling height on this floor was extremely high, estimated to be around twenty meters.
This height would be suitable for housing mecha.
In front of him was a large glass exterior wall that looked fragile but was actually indestructible.
Su Chen walked over and found Assistant Zhang standing at the doorway, not moving.
"What's wrong?" Su Chen asked.
"Mr. Su, this is the core department. My access pass can't get me in. I've already messaged the CEO, and she'll be here to pick you up."
As soon as she finished speaking, a wall next to them suddenly slid open, and Yan Bingxue emerged from within.
Damn, it was a hidden door?
Given the height, this should be Yan Bingxue's office. So, the two buildings were connected!
This design was brilliant.
Yan Bingxue came over and scanned something in front of an instrument. The seemingly seamless glass wall in front of them split open from the middle. By the time Su Chen entered, it had closed again, leaving no trace of the opening.
Truly high-tech!
"Su Chen, this is our company's core mecha research department."
They walked through an open area and arrived at a steel-like door, which was truly impregnable to the naked eye.
Yan Bingxue entered the door with her access pass. The view inside suddenly opened up. Researchers in white uniforms were busy at their respective workstations.
Virtual projections appeared out of thin air on the workstations, moving with the instruments attached to the operators' fingertips.
A projection of a tall mecha slowly rotated on the large screen, with a few parts being replaced occasionally.
It was clearly a mecha prototype being created.
It was just a model built on a computer, not a real mecha.
In the glass display cabinets on the walls, various high-tech small robots and components were displayed, exuding the unique charm of modern technology.
Entering here felt like stepping onto the set of a sci-fi movie, with its astonishing high-tech capabilities.
Su Chen observed for a while, his gaze remaining calm.
This was because the technology he possessed in his mind already far surpassed the current level.
Two men in their late forties or early fifties walked towards Su Chen and Yan Bingxue.
"Ms. Yan, you're here," the older one greeted Yan Bingxue.
The man beside him stared intently at Su Chen.
"Ms. Yan, this must be Mr. Su, right?"
"Hello, Mr. Su. I'm the deputy team leader from the research department. I listened to your mecha theories this morning and found them incredibly insightful. There are just a few points I'm still unclear about. Regarding the detection sensors you mentioned, how exactly should they..."
"Xiao Chen, Mr. Su just arrived and isn't familiar with the environment yet. You'll have plenty of time to ask these questions later."
The deputy team leader, looking excited, scratched his head sheepishly and said to Su Chen, "Mr. Su, I apologize. That was thoughtless of me, haha~ No worries, we're colleagues now. I have so many things I want to ask you, and I hope you won't hold back your advice!"
The team leader smiled and looked at Su Chen, saying, "Mr. Su, it's finally good to meet you in person. I'm Qiu Jin, the team leader of the research department. Your theories on mechas are truly astonishing. I just didn't expect you to be so young, Mr. Su."
"Truly, heroes emerge from youth. With Mr. Su joining the research department, our mecha research is bound to achieve significant breakthroughs!"
"Alright, Su Chen will be working here from now on. I'll take him to get his access pass first." Yan Bingxue maintained her dominant CEO demeanor in front of the other employees, her face devoid of smiles.
The two returned to Yan Bingxue's office, and following her guidance, Su Chen entered his fingerprint and iris data into her computer.
"Do you have plans after work today?" Yan Bingxue asked.
She remembered Su Chen receiving a call during breakfast, and it seemed he had something to do that evening.
"Yes, a farewell dinner with my university classmates."
"Oh, where is it? Do you need my driver to take you?"
"No need for such trouble. I'll just call for a designated driver tonight. We'll probably be out late."
"Besides, it's at Guest's Delight, right next to my university, and not far from my place either."
Yan Bingxue nodded. "Okay, then I'll go pick up Tuantuan and Lele."
"Sure, help me tell the kids that Dad has a dinner engagement tonight, but I'll be back early!"
Su Chen said with a smile, his natural tone making Yan Bingxue's heart feel a little sweet.
Be back early~
It's as if they've been living together for a long time.
