Chapter 199 Returning to the old place
Countdown to crisis, 1 year.
Bluestar, Daxia, Linhai Science and Technology Park, Xinghai Technology Building.
Sixty years ago, this was the headquarters building of Xinghai Technology.
And now, this place has not been reclaimed yet.
Fan Ren and Zeng Yingying got out of a silver-white car, which was made entirely of tri-titanium alloy and had the ability to fly.
He looked up at the building in front of him and couldn't help but sigh: "It's different after all."
Zeng Yingying looked around with a surprised expression on her face, then turned back to look at the Xinghai Technology Building in front of her and couldn't help but smile.
"Good soil."
At this moment, in this science and technology park, around this building, skyscrapers made of tri-titanium alloy make them feel as if they are in a future city.
In the sky, rows of beautifully designed high-altitude tracks are interspersed in the city, like the blood vessels of this steel city, complex and organized.
Turning back to look at the building in front of me, although the old wall tiles have not fallen off, the yellowing color caused by long-term oxidation is enough to show that it is very old.
This is one of the few cement concrete buildings in the entire city that has never been demolished.
"Look, that's where I met Ms. Jin. As you know, she joined Xinghai later. Don't overthink it. There's nothing going on between her and me."
Fan Ren pointed to the open space in front of the building and began to explain with a helpless look on his face.
"I didn't misunderstand."
There was a smile in Zeng Yingying's signature charming eyes. She looked at Fan Ren and found his expression very interesting.
This now very important figure in Daxia has changed a lot since she woke up from the hibernation chamber.
In the past, Fan Ren would stay in the laboratory forever when she was busy. Many times, she was even ignored when she went in to deliver meals or clean the room.
How can we describe the life of the couple at that time?
Zeng Yingying thought about it and it seemed that there wasn't much change since before she got married.
But this time, after she woke up from being "tricked" into a hibernation chamber for decades, Fanren had changed a lot.
Decades of hibernation were just the time for Zeng Yingying to sleep, but Fan Ren actually spent nearly 15000 days and nights alone.
There is endless loneliness here. If it weren't for the countdown that constantly reminds him, he would have given up long ago.
This is also the reason why Fanren has changed so much in Zeng Yingying's view now.
He began to pay more attention to Zeng Yingying.
Over the past two years, Fan Ren and her could not be said to be inseparable, but the time they spent apart was very rare.
Seeing that she still responded with this smile, Fan Ren suddenly felt overwhelmed. He subconsciously stepped forward and held Zeng Yingying's slender hand, and was about to continue explaining, but saw that she pointed to the side.
"Look!"
Next to the gate where Zeng Yingying reached out her hand, a square stone tablet was neatly placed.
Fan Ren looked in that direction and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
The stone tablet is a cultural heritage explanatory tablet issued by the Cultural Heritage Department of Daxia.
I never thought that the Xinghai Building has become a cultural relic.
Zeng Yingying took out the mobile phone she used to use and handed it to Fan Ren, then walked excitedly to the stone tablet and made a gesture.
‘click’
Fan Ren helplessly held up his old cell phone and pressed the shutter button.
"I can completely digitally simulate this photo directly. Why doesn't Sister Yingying use my method? Why did you come all the way here to take the photo?" A-Dai's extremely doubtful voice sounded in the built-in headphones in Fan Ren's ears. At this moment, he couldn't help but doubt his own abilities.
Digital intelligent imaging technology was already a mature technology on Blue Planet long before the crisis occurred.
But now he was verbally rejected by Zeng Yingying.
"You don't understand? That's right."
Fan Ren answered secretly because he didn't understand either.
"Eh"
Ah Dai responded with a sigh, and then fell silent. He was too embarrassed to pay attention to the couple's daily life which he considered to be extremely boring.
"Husband, come here, let's take a photo!"
Over there, Zeng Yingying's voice like a silver bell came, and Fan Ren's expression instantly turned into a happy one, and he trotted over.
Click, click, click. After taking a few photos, Zeng Yingying looked down at her phone with a look of unsatisfied interest. Then Fan Ren supported her waist and walked into the building.
"Boss, you've fallen."
Fan Ren nodded without answering. He had long been accustomed to Ah Dai's omnipresence.
The building still maintains Xinghai’s original decoration style, which is simple.
Nowadays, Xinghai has no reception staff at all. After passing the facial recognition verification at the door, you can directly enter the company building.
Since all business has been moved to space, there are no longer many people working here.
Fan Ren was afraid that Zeng Yingying would bump into the wall while fiddling with her phone, so he quickly hugged her tightly and walked towards the elevator.
"A-Dai, who is in charge of the daily maintenance and management here now?"
The couple came here to check in and take photos, and they didn't say hello to the person in charge in advance. He didn't even know what daily operations he was responsible for.
Ah Dai understood what he meant, and directly called up the content and replied: "Since the main affairs of Xinghai are currently handled by the Space Hub Headquarters, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Economics and Trade, and other departments have opened up their authority to me in terms of dispatching. Now our company no longer needs personnel on the ground for maintenance and management.
However, since this was the first building developed by Xinghai, it was deliberately left here by Chief Jin during the previous asset cleanup. He then arranged for a logistics staff member named Xu Min to be responsible for daily maintenance work here.
Oh, by the way, Boss, Xu Min and you were classmates in the same school, and what happened with Sister Zeng? "
Fan Ren's mouth opened into an O shape and his eyes widened.
Zeng Yingying, who was beside her, also heard this and showed an expression of disbelief on her face.
'Ding'
The elevator was very fast, and by the time Ah Dai finished speaking, it had already arrived at the designated floor.
This was where Fanren’s office used to be.
The door slowly opened to both sides, and a woman with a pretty face, a graceful figure and long black hair appeared at the elevator door.
The woman looked at the two people in the elevator. Her expression was puzzled at first, then quickly flashed with surprise, and finally she forced herself to be happy.
"Yingying, how come you have time to come here?"
"Ah, she is the boss. She is now in charge of the daily maintenance work here."
Fan Ren did not respond to Ah Dai. He quickly put away the shocked expression on his face and nodded slightly to Xu Min without any other greeting.
"Ah, I came here to take a photo and check in. What a coincidence, you are here too!"
Zeng Yingying pretended to be amazed, with joy in her tone, and hurriedly went up to him, talking in a very awkward manner to Fan Ren's ears.
