Cui Zhihao took out a file bag, marked "Top Secret" and stamped with a red seal.
"Back in the feature phone era, we drove away a former overlord. That was our team's most glorious achievement, but now we have a more formidable opponent. Their methods are much wilder than ours."
Xiao Xun looked at the words "Top Secret." "I don't think this is appropriate!"
Cui Zhihao directly took the file out of the bag. "Now we are in a cooperative relationship, allies, so it's fine to show it to you."
When Xiao Xun heard this, since the other party was so proactive, it wouldn't be considered stealing trade secrets for him to look at it. Naturally, he wouldn't pass up the opportunity.
Cui Zhihao pressed Xiao Xun's hand. "I hope that after you read it, you can tell me your understanding of this matter."
Xiao Xun glanced at Cui Zhihao. Cui Zhihao sat back down at his desk, took a sip of his drink, and lit a cigarette.
Xiao Xun opened the file. The first page read:
"But if he really succeeds in research and development, and it is promoted and used, then people will not be service consumers, but directly become part of the computational process. Wouldn't that negate the meaning of human existence?"
Cui Zhihao looked at Xiao Xun approvingly. "Wow! How did I not think of that? I didn't expect your logical thinking to be so strong. I studied it for months without understanding, and you grasped it instantly. If they are really doing this, I think I can sue them for 'crimes against humanity'."
"But you only have these stolen and copied documents, and no actual evidence to prove A Company's actions. People won't believe you; they'll just think you're maliciously smearing them as a competitor."
Cui Zhihao nodded. "I've considered everything you've said. Besides the absolute top brass of the company, I've only told you about this."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Cui Zhihao glanced at the high-rise buildings outside. "I hope that if, one day, this matter causes an irreparable disaster for humanity, you, as a wise person with foresight, can make early preparations and become one of the 'saviors'."
Xiao Xun suddenly felt the weight on his shoulders. "I should regret coming to your office now. I don't want to get involved in this conspiracy; I just want to make money to support my family and marry a beautiful wife."
Cui Zhihao stood up and said excitedly, "But one day, humanity will be grateful that you came to my office."
Although Xiao Xun was deeply shocked, he still smiled and shook his head. "These are not things I should consider now. Aren't you really going to show me around?"
Cui Zhihao glanced at his watch. It was already noon.
He clapped his hands. "Oh! Right, our Jingji Group's employee cafeteria is famous nationwide. Would you like to try it?"
Xiao Xun carefully put away the file. "That's much more... " he said, patting the file bag, " ...interesting than this."
The two left the office. Cui Zhihao asked his secretary to tidy up the office before going to eat.
Xiao Xun saw a beautiful OL in a white short-sleeved shirt and a black pencil skirt. She replied, "Yes," then took a packet of tissues and squatted on the ground, cleaning up cigarette ash and butts bit by bit.
Seeing this, Xiao Xun felt fortunate for Guan Jiawen and Lei Wenxiu.
The Jingji Group's cafeteria was different from St. Diroman. It was divided into two floors, and people dined in different restaurants based on their level. The M-level restaurant had the best food.
No matter which restaurant, it was buffet-style. No employee ID was needed. Just take a tray, take whatever you want, and as much as you want.
Of course, waste was strictly prohibited everywhere.
Cui Zhihao was an absolute senior executive at the M-level in Dingtai. If we were to compare companies, Xiao Xun, although also M-level, was two grades lower than Cui Zhihao.
Because St. Diroman's technology company was newly established, it did not have a complete system and regulations, nor had it implemented level divisions. It still followed the traditional industry job titles.
In the M-level restaurant, common abalone and lobster were considered 'home-style dishes.' Every day, star chefs from different high-end hotels were responsible for the daily meals of the company's senior executives. Because there were the fewest people at this level, the food expenses were the highest, and not many people came to eat. What was left naturally went to the plates of the leaders in the logistics department.
Xiao Xun was enlightened. He thought he ate quite well at St. Diroman's cafeteria, but coming to Jingji Group made him realize how ignorant he had been.
As soon as Cui Zhihao entered, he had an expression of: "Why is it these dishes again? I'm so sick of them."
Xiao Xun, on the other hand, was restraining his saliva. He saw three of his colleagues there. The three colleagues looked fine, with no expectations in their eyes, but they were envious of Jingji Group's treatment.
If the meal standard was like this every day, they would definitely be more enthusiastic about eating than anyone else. Director Liu even exaggeratedly said when eating with them, "If I had known earlier, I should have asked Director Zhao from the logistics department to come and learn."
"..."
Xiao Xun watched Cui Zhihao only take fruit. "Why are you only eating fruit?"
"You don't know, in your country, no matter what fruit it is, it's cheap and delicious. In our country, it's not bad, but it's too expensive. This is also one of the reasons I like coming here."
In the middle of summer, Cui Zhihao was particularly fond of watermelon. He held half a watermelon by himself, eating it with a spoon, with a look of satisfaction. Watermelon was also a staple in the hotel where he stayed. He ate it until he had an upset stomach, and even suffered from heatiness and nosebleeds, but he never tired of it.
Director Liu was working hard on a lobster as thick as an adult's forearm, which looked quite appetizing.
Xiao Xun tasted lobster and abalone for the first time. Their texture was nothing like sea creatures.
Cui Zhihao also advised him, "Eat less of these. They aren't fresh from the sea, and eating too much can lead to gout, which is very uncomfortable." He then patted his watermelon. "This is healthier."
Xiao Xun wiped his mouth and looked at the food people were casually taking. "Do you eat this every day?"
"Not exactly. It mainly depends on which chef is cooking. If it's a weekend, it's likely to be hot pot. Whether it's sukiyaki or budae-jjigae. Of course, there's also copper hot pot, but fewer people eat it, and it takes a lot of time, so we don't make it much anymore."
For the first time, Xiao Xun felt that studying for three days might be too short.
