Chapter 2, Invitation from the Research Institute.
So fast?
Of course, Yu Jing gave up the college entrance examination mainly because of his mother's illness and the hidden virus in his own body.
Yu Jing came here for the first time. The layout of the big city made Yu Jing not very accustomed, but luckily, he quickly found a notice board with a city map posted on it.
Yujing's attire stands out in contrast to the upscale streets of this metropolitan city center. In front of her, a middle-aged woman adorned with various jewelry hurriedly beckons her daughter to quickly move away from Yujing approaching.
It may be true. This kind of research institute can distinguish authenticity at a glance. If it is a genuine research institute, the national projects involved have funding in the tens of millions or even billions. It is possible to allocate millions to us "guinea pigs" who actively participate in the testing... Even if there are any problems, it will only waste a day of my time. Starting the money-making plan tomorrow is not a problem either.
Additionally, the reason why the research institute chose me may be due to the hidden illnesses in my body, which is a possibility...
Hello, Mr. Yu! We have verified your medical examination data and found that you fully meet the volunteer criteria of our research institute. Please go to Central A City in District 19 before 12:00 tomorrow morning. We will send the specific address to your mobile phone, please pay attention to check.
Is this a case of casting a long line to catch a big fish? Exchanging my organs for a few hundred yuan high-speed train ticket? However, the public security in City A is quite strict, and there have been no criminal cases reported in recent years. The address is not in the suburbs, but rather close to the central area... Should I give it a try?
At the moment the phone was hung up, I received two consecutive text messages. One of them was sent anonymously and contained the detailed location of the A City Research Institute. The other one explained that Yu Jing had successfully booked a train ticket, and the other party had booked a first-class seat on the high-speed train for Yu Jing, which was equivalent to half a month's wages from Yu Jing's part-time job.
Where is 315 Punk Street located on Upper East Road?
After a whisper from Yu Jing, he used both hands to put on the hood and cover his face, blending into the crowd.
Excuse me, are you a human organ trafficking organization?
Sooner or later, one day, I, Yu Jing, will change everything.
Are you from the slums? Xia An, come to your mother quickly, be careful not to be infected with bacteria.
Wait a moment, I haven't made a statement confirming my participation in your experimental project, right? I'm not even clear about the specific details. Can you please provide a detailed explanation here?
ーー 19th District Advanced Life Research Institute ーー.
It is this kind of unfairness that led Yu Jing to write down his thoughts in the form of prose in his college entrance exam essay, resulting in a zero score for his Chinese language test. In Yu Jing's view, if he had not expressed himself through obscure and implicit prose, he would probably have received zero scores in other subjects as well.
During the process of searching for clothes, Yu Jing found some photos from his middle school years.
Our staff here are indeed very efficient, haha," responded a woman's elegant voice to Yu Jing.
Yu Jing is accustomed to observing the things around him. Sitting here, he has already taken in everything visible in his field of vision and simply analyzed it. He distinguishes whether a person is disguising a "noble" appearance or truly has substance based on some details of their behavior, but Yu Jing himself has no ill intentions in doing so.
Yu Jing knows that even if he enters a second-tier university through the college entrance examination, he will only live in the urban area of A city for four years at most. Not only will he face exclusion during his university life, but once he graduates, he will be forced to return to work in the third-tier county of Yu Jing. Although compared to a small county, a university student will not worry about food and clothing, but it is impossible for him to live in the urban area of A city in his lifetime.
The Central A-level student source city is the most prosperous central city among the nineteen districts. The consumption level is basically ten times or even more than that of the C-level small county city where Yu Jing is located. Moreover, it is not just about having money to be able to live here. If you are not born in an A-level city, you need a large amount of financial resources to obtain the right to reside.
It seems that being able to sit in the business class seat is not entirely limited to wealthy people. Here, only three people belong to the real bosses.
In Yu Jing's hand, there is still a small handbook of his own money-making plan, scrutinizing the plan and the invitation from the current research institute.
The other party's series of words directly confused Yu Jing.
Following the directions indicated on the map, we arrived smoothly. In front of us stood a relatively old punk-style building, with a metal plaque above a side copper door.
Hehe, sir, if you have any doubts or concerns, you can choose to return the train tickets we booked for you. Our research institute will absolutely not force this, please rest assured.
Seated in the first-class business seat, here there are dedicated train staff who provide free catering. In the same carriage as Yu Jing are mostly important figures carrying briefcases who have a prominent social status. Yu Jing, a high school graduate from an ordinary family in a small county, stands out here.
Okay.Yu Jing hung up the phone, completely at a loss for words.
Yu Jing is decisive and never hesitates when it comes to making decisions. Immediately, he took out his phone and called the supermarket boss who hired him as a temporary worker to submit his resignation. Then, he went to his dormitory to change into a more casual outfit - a gray hoodie with a hood, paired with a pair of clean sneakers and sports pants.
No problem, Mr. Yu. We have already purchased a high-speed train ticket for you from the nearest train station to the A-level source city in District 19. There is still an hour and a half before departure. You can go to the train station with your ID card to pick up the ticket and board the train directly. As for food and accommodation, you will enjoy high-level treatment when you arrive at our research institute. At that time, our staff will introduce you to the detailed testing process and follow your subjective opinions.
Press the photo into the bottom of the clothes, leave the room and look at the mother who has already fallen asleep in another bedroom. Yu Jing's mind was made up, gritting his teeth, he set off from home to the train station in the county.
In the photo, Yu Jing represents his school in participating in the county-level sports competition. The strong young man in the photo now appears somewhat weak and frail, I wonder what happened during his high school years.
Walking on the bustling streets, looking at the impossible skyscrapers and bustling urban white-collar workers carrying briefcases and high-end smartphones, talking about business and company projects in the small county town where our farmland and small houses are adjacent, Yu Jing's heart is slightly envious, but not overly so.
If you refuse to continue participating in the test before, we will also provide you with a return ticket. If Mr. Yu decides to come to our research institute, please be sure to arrive before 6:00 tonight. Do you have any other questions?
