Chapter 3
From the moment Fu Luo was led through the door, it felt as if he were an A-class protective spaceship entering a mutated animal zoo in space, uniquely disheveled and subjected to relentless scrutiny along the way
This entire floor is the domain of Teacher Robin, with enormous glass doors and dazzling wallpaper displaying dynamic images from fashion shows, featuring handsome men and beautiful women, the fragrance of clothing and the allure of their appearances, as if a certain refreshing scent is wafting through the air.
Before he could finish his words, Fu Luo had already turned and left
Fu Luo discovered that Xiao Zhu received twelve phone calls within one hour, went in and out seven times, and had a pile of advertising brochures at his feet
Robin did not even lift his head as he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, you can find her something to do if you are too busy."
Ten minutes later, the freight elevator stopped at the twelfth floor
She was too distracted, almost tripping as her foot got caught in the seam of the carpet
Security: "Next time, please remember to wear your courier company's uniform, as it will facilitate our management"
The result was subjected to an inquiry by the diligent and dedicated security guard of the office building
Fu Luo shook her head and said, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xiao Zhu turned around in surprise: "So fast to repair..."
At first, Fu Luo thought there was some remarkable mechanism under the table. He began to rummage around and discovered that the office desk was equally clean inside and out, with the scent of the special spice used to cover paint residue still lingering, quite new.
Although it was under duress, the attitude was still relatively cooperative, which at least relieved some of the pressure for Teacher Robin
"Sure," Fu Luo readily agreed, "I will buy a batwing sleeve online in a moment."
Xiao Zhu hesitated for a moment: "This ... ..."
Thus, Fu Luo arrived at the logistics management department of the property management on the first floor of the building
A row of delivery robots sat neatly in the freight elevator. One of them seemed to be malfunctioning, continuously circling around under Fu Luo's feet. After being kicked aside, it emitted a suspicious "gala" sound, seemingly crying. Fu Luo examined her outfit carefully in the reflective wall of the elevator, feeling frustrated as she thought, "Can't I pretend to be a little white-collar worker? My collar is over a foot long!"
Please remind the logistics management department to expedite the repair of that damned robot
The receptionist asked blankly, "Huh? What?"
The two words "Assistant" successfully shattered the front desk girl's wavering sanity. She turned her head with a "crackling" sound, staring up at Fu Luo, and at this moment, even her exquisite makeup could not conceal the words "Help me" that slowly emerged on her small face.
Every employee, originally busy and preoccupied, would involuntarily pause their tasks when she passed by, watching her leave with expressions that seemed to convey, "What is this person doing on Earth?"
On that day, for some unknown reason, every level's robots were overloaded with work. When Fu fell to the first level, he discovered that the malfunctioning robots in the logistics management department had formed an enhanced squad, with parts scattered everywhere.
Security: "Who are you looking for? Which floor are you going to?"
A batch of trial products and advertising brochures for guests arrived simultaneously downstairs. One of the two delivery robots assigned to the twelfth floor happened to be malfunctioning. In typical office buildings, the weight limit for delivery robots is usually between 80 and 100 kilograms. Therefore, to maintain the equipment, it is stipulated that items exceeding 80 kilograms must be lifted by two delivery robots simultaneously
It is evident that becoming a wealthy individual is not as easy as it seems
Fu Luo: "Where to put it?"
Fu Luo carefully examined the two ceramic models, a man and a woman, at the entrance. With the dazzling clothing and accessories, he took the opportunity to realign his self-perception.
So I am just a country bumpkin wrapped in a burlap sack! she thought in sudden realization, The security guard was quite polite, surprisingly not mentioning that I am a plumber
With the advancement of technology and the decline in population growth, the high level of labor costs has also risen significantly. This young lady not only possesses an attractive appearance but also impeccable professional qualities. Even in the presence of an uninvited plumber, she can make the person feel as if they are basking in a spring breeze, indicating that her salary must be considerable
Fu Luo : `` ... ... ''
The security guard, seeing that she did not respond, continued to ask: "Is it either takeout or a delivery? Takeout is not allowed inside; they should send a robot down to pick it up. For deliveries, you need to take the freight elevator up."
At that moment, Teacher Robin's voice came from inside: "Xiao Luo, come in"
The receptionist led Fu Luo to the door of Teacher Robin's office and pressed the doorbell: "Boss, a guest with the surname Fu has arrived."
Fu Luo did not wish to waste words, and with a perfunctory nod to the security guard, he headed towards the freight elevator
At this moment, Robin was extremely busy, with a large table covered in various materials and hand-drawn sketches. Even the computer screen had been elevated into the air to make space. A massive spreadsheet was projected onto the pristine white office wall, filled with a chaotic array of terms that Fu Luowen had never heard of. The wastebasket was overflowing, resembling a mountain, while the cleaning robot, with a cigarette butt perched on its head, silently leaned against the corner, focused on its task.
Fu Luo candidly confessed: "I can't get in."
On Fu Luo's first day at work, it was a day filled with various issues
As soon as she entered the building in the morning, she was stopped by the security guard
Then the strong man bent down and lifted both large boxes together
Fu Luo hesitated for a second before making a decision about his career direction: "Then it shall be express delivery."
Fu Luo said: "I am looking for Teacher Robin, he knows I am coming."
Throughout Fu Luo's limited life, she rarely considered her clothing choices. Initially, she wore a school uniform for over ten years, and after being admitted to the military academy, she began to wear a uniform. In any case, there were only a few days off throughout the year. Usually at home, having a few sets of casual sportswear was sufficient for her needs.
She stole a glance at Xiao Zhu's desk, and after being shocked by the personalized cosmetics piled up to about a foot high on the one square meter space, she understood the purpose of this large desk
Because she was going to Robin's place that day, she specifically chose what she considered to be the most formal and presentable outfit—she had somehow dug out a men's suit, paired with a pair of leather shoes that had heels less than 3 centimeters high, and even brought along an old briefcase that was empty.
Can we borrow from other floors
Fu Luo pushed two large boxes of samples to the designated location, kicked aside the obstructing robot once more, and walked out, leaving behind a remark: "There are also brochures downstairs, I will go get them again. Your little cart is just too tiny..."
Teacher Robin : " ... ... "
Upon hearing her speak, the beautiful woman was momentarily taken aback, quickly scanning Fu Luo from head to toe, and hurriedly apologized: "Ah, miss, I am so sorry, please follow me."
The result was that Fu added, "It's just that what I'm wearing might look a bit like Batman."
Xiao Zhu, in a fit of anger, grasped the corner of the table, preparing to rise. As she lifted her head, she found Fu Luo standing in front of her.
Twelve layers
Three days later, Robin had a table added in the outer office—Assistant Xiao Zhu's territory—and placed a nameplate for the intern on it
Teacher Robin asked in a trembling whisper, "Can you find some unconventional shoulder sleeve designs? The trendy retro loose batwing sleeves this year should surely fit in, right?"
Then he said to the other side: "Could you please help me coordinate this? I really can't handle it here... Ah!"
"Please open the door for me," Fu Luo said to the front desk, who had once again been startled, "and kindly step aside."
Just as she was turning to the one hundred and second model of beauty tools, a slight issue arose at Xiao Zhu's end
Product sample
The foolish搬运工 robot maintained a lifting motion with its arms raised, carrying the air and following her with a lively demeanor, resembling a devoted little subordinate.
While Xiao Zhu was verifying the VIP list with a colleague, he suddenly heard someone at the door exclaim, "Ah! What is this...?"
Hearing footsteps, Robin lifted his head from his work, and with just a glance at Fu Luo, he felt as if his retina had suffered a brutal biochemical attack. He took three deep breaths in succession, barely suppressing his irritation, and weakly said to Fu Luo: "Luo Luo, I have a proposal for you. Can we wear women's clothing tomorrow?"
Even the receptionist at the front desk fell into an inexplicable cold war, making the familiar office suddenly feel ominous
She looked towards the inner room to seek the boss's approval
The person in charge touched his bald head and said, "The paths of the transport robots are fixed, and the robots on other floors are not interchangeable. If you must use them, the program needs to be reset, which is not much different from repairing this component. Please be patient; we will definitely expedite the process.
Since she had come this far, Fu Luo did not want to cause any trouble for others, nor did she want to appear ignorant. She first resolutely connected to the internet and purchased a batwing-sleeved top with instant delivery. Then, she sat attentively in front of the computer, beginning to read the company profile as if she were memorizing vocabulary, and attempted to commit to memory the names of products she had no prior knowledge of.
What a wealthy dog owner
However, when she actually reached the twelfth floor, she realized that what had just happened was not the security's responsibility
Throughout the entire morning, no one was able to spare time to attend to her. Teacher Robin seemed to be busy designing an image plan for a major client, while others, led by Xiao Zhu, were preparing for a product launch event
The delivery robot busily turned its wheels to follow, but was abruptly blocked inside by the glass door that closed with a "bang," futilely spinning in place, inexplicably appearing somewhat desolate
As a true affluent individual, Teacher Robin possesses an ultra-luxurious suite office, where his personal domain is located inside, while the outer area serves as the workspace for his assistant, Xiao Zhu. When Fu Luo approached her desk, she discovered that it was extraordinarily large, even surpassing the command console of the space combat division where she had interned for six months. The surface of the desk was quite empty, with only a single office computer occupying a small corner.
Perhaps she had lingered at the door for too long; before she could even ring the doorbell, the receptionist, with a smile full of professionalism, came out to greet her and politely asked, "Good day, sir. May I ask who you are looking for? Do you have an appointment?"
Teacher Robin became impatient, and her voice evidently grew irritable: "I said to have her register for permanent access at the office door, and then grant her assistant privileges. It's just this simple matter; how many times do you intend for me to repeat it?"
Fu Luo felt deeply sorry for the immense fright she had caused and could only smile innocently at her
She had two communication terminals inserted in both ears, and first she said to one side: "I do not want to know which one is broken, nor do I want to know what the malfunction is; I just want to know when the items I requested will arrive on the twelfth floor"
The security guard was relentless, chasing after me with a database terminal the size of a business card, saying: "Wait! Hey, come back! You need to leave me a record first!"
The security guard scrutinized her suspiciously and asked, "Are you selling insurance or bank cards?"
The receptionist stiffly extended a hand and pointed to a corner of the office
Ah, Xiao Zhu came to her senses, recalling that she had neglected this important client for the entire morning. She quickly apologized, "Look at me, I haven't even shown you around the office yet. This morning has been so hectic. How about I take you to the restaurant for lunch later?"
Fu Luo presented the repair tag, and the person in charge rushed out, sweating profusely, to explain to her: "This time the overload burned out the processor, it needs to be replaced, and the setting program has to be recalibrated. It really won't be possible to return to the post in a short while..."
The door opened automatically from the inside, and a somewhat hoarse voice of Teacher Robin came from within: "She is not a guest; you let her record something at my door."
The latter half of her sentence was caught in her throat, her whole body maintaining the motion of turning back, like a gazelle with its neck grasped tightly. On the small cart being transported, two large boxes of trial products were stacked on top of each other, while a solitary robot followed its programmed routine, performing lifting movements, only to be nudged aside by Fu Luo's foot.
