Chapter 1, Unified Distribution
"What about the name? What's wrong with the name Long Yuehong? My father’s surname is Long, and my mother’s name contains the character 'hong', how meaningful is that?" Long Yuehong said to herself in confusion, "That’s true, the company assigns roles uniformly and doesn’t consider my height or appearance. I heard it’s all random, excluding blood relations... Ah, could it be that because of my name, they will think I am female and assign me a husband? What should I do?"... Ah, could it be that because of my name, they will think I am female and assign me a husband? What should I do?"
His expression gradually settled, and he began to murmur incessantly
Organ transplantation, nerve reconstruction surgery, artificial uterus, perfect solutions to problems
Within the company, there is no one who does not aspire to become part of the management, nor is there anyone who does not wish to establish a connection with the management
On the 495th floor of Area C, the exterior wall is a grayish-green, covered with various graffiti, as six or seven girls entered with expressions of excitement, anticipation, or nervousness.
Moreover, even if they are not these people, do you not look forward to your future husband being from an M-level family? Another girl joined the discussion and made a joke.
"What is her personality like?" said the girl next to her, who was wearing a green top and blue long pants, biting her lip.
"Shang Jianyao, what kind of wife do you think the company will assign to me?"
Shang Jianyao raised his chin and said
Meng Xia, do you know what level Chen Bei's husband's family is? You have always been quite familiar with each other
Their clothing styles are simple, with a monotonous color scheme primarily consisting of blue, black, white, and green, yet each possesses a delicate appearance, embodying the essence of youth.
The only exception is at the higher education level, as there is only one university in the entire company, located on the 350th floor
The company's resources are insufficient, and humanity on the gray earth is in dire straits, with famine, infection, mutation, and the shadow of beastliness still looming over the entire world. How can I possibly get married?
Certainly, there are few indications, but they are not many
The children of ordinary employees must take an examination to determine whether they will start working or enter university, while the children of management can be exempted from the examination and directly receive higher education
Long Yuehong's expression froze for two seconds and said
As the second generation of genetically modified drugs becomes widespread, they are not concerned about the appearance and height of their future husbands, as they are all above average.
Shang Jianyao looked up and down at Long Yuehong and said
"Ha, it can't be that unfortunate, right? This time, there are only two more males than females in total." A man, who is 1.75 meters tall and has relatively ordinary features, chuckled.
The unequal merchant responded, and he said:
I knew you wouldn't be able to provide any constructive ideas
They are not concerned that the entries will scroll too quickly, making it difficult for them to see clearly, because each floor's activity center only displays the portion of the results relevant to the residents of that floor
Meng Xia glanced around and lowered his voice to say
The girl wearing a green top and blue long pants pouted and said
Regarding this matter, there was a burst of laughter. A girl dressed in a green top and blue trousers curiously asked:
The girl at the forefront smiled and said
Long Yuehong, Meng Xia, and others immediately held their breath, waiting for the results of the allocation to be announced
"Meng Xia, how can you say that? Why don't you have the freedom to fall in love?" other girls mocked simultaneously
The company is divided into three levels: the first is the D-level employees, ranging from D1 to D9; the second is the M-level management, from M1 representing the director level to M3 corresponding to board members and chief scientists; the third has no letter designation, only a title, which is "the big boss," an exceptionally mysterious lady
You all know me well enough, don't you? What I excel at is merely talking. Meng Xia admitted without the slightest shame that she did not have the courage for that.
Similarly, those who are widowed and have not raised descendants, after three years of widowhood and before reaching the age of 60, are required to participate in the unified allocation.
So, why is the key my name
A man, approximately 1.75 meters tall with a neat crew cut, glanced at the several old tables in the activity center along with the long benches and armchairs surrounding them, and said to his companion beside him with a hint of unease
The young man named Shang Jianyao glanced at his companion and said
First, you must be assigned before you can discuss what it is like
"A name represents a person's destiny, and random allocation is merely a matter of fate," Shang Jianyao replied earnestly
Alright, it's about to begin. Chen Xianyu pressed down heavily on a remote control.
Long Yuehong let out a laugh and said, "You are getting better at joking."
You have forgotten that, in addition to people of our age, those whose wives have already passed away also participate in the unified matchmaking. Some of them are already in their forties or fifties, and they have not undergone genetic modification at the embryonic stage, which results in many defects
When did you hear about ordinary floor residents being assigned spouses on floors 346, 347, 348, and 349
Floors 346 to 349 are designated for M-level managers, featuring ample energy supply and an average living space that is more than ten times that of the floors occupied by regular employees. Furthermore, these four floors have their own independent systems for elevators, water purification, ventilation, sewage disposal, and education, ensuring that their children typically do not interact with regular employees
Your line of thinking is quite strange; shouldn't a normal person be considering filing an appeal instead
Are you serious? It's impossible for the company to agree to your request to forgo this unified allocation! Haha, I almost believed you! Long Yuehong was initially taken aback, but then she let out a sigh of relief
He is wearing a deep blue two-piece suit, with his arm muscles bulging, creating some lines in the fabric, giving him an appearance that is both masculine and powerful
I do not know what kind of husband the company will assign to me
Will they look down on me? I am only 1.75 meters tall due to genetic modification, and I am not handsome. My grades in all subjects are just average...
His companion is approximately 1.85 meters tall, with straight eyebrows, bright brown eyes, a face with pronounced features, and slightly tousled black hair that covers half of his forehead
This elderly man, with graying hair and a slightly unsteady gait, was once an employee of the Security Department, responsible for external operations, and rose to the position of Group Leader at D7 level. Later, due to age-related issues, he left the Security Department and was promoted to D8 level, where he now oversees the activity center on this floor
Two groups of people sized each other up for a few seconds, each slightly shyly averting their gaze, after all, no one could be certain whether their future husband or wife was across from them
The display flickered a few times, emitting a faint glow
The girl in the lead cast a glance at her companion
As for the "big boss," ordinary employees not only do not have any contact with her, but many do not even know what she looks like. It is only at the end of the year, the beginning of the year, or during significant events that they can hear her voice through the broadcast. Therefore, very few people fantasize about being recognized by the "big boss" and suddenly rising to the management level
I do not need
Ha ha, how is that possible? I mean, how could they make a mistake? Every document I have states that I am male
"Shang Jian Yao, what kind of wife do you wish to be assigned?"
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were very curious about the experiences of this old man. They always enjoyed coming to the activity center to play, asking questions left and right. However, Chen Xianyu strictly adhered to the confidentiality regulations, only sharing some common knowledge and observations, much like an ordinary employee who was born, grew up, studied, worked, matured, and aged in the "internal ecological zone," having never left the underground building to see the real sky.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xianyu, the supervisor of the 495th floor activity center, left his position and walked to the LCD display to begin the adjustments
Long Yuehong chuckled twice
Wow...... as the girls exclaimed, a group of young men walked in through the entrance of the activity center
It is said to be the Director of the Action Cluster of the Ministry of Security
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and asked:
Therefore, I have always allowed you to engage in free love at school. Look at Chen Bei; her husband was reserved by the "Material Management Department" right after graduation, which surely indicates that her family has connections
I have already applied to forgo this unified allocation
In order to ensure a sufficient number of newborns, the company they belong to has stipulated: "Any individual who is 20 years of age or older, or has graduated from higher education, and is not in a free marriage, will have a spouse arranged by the company. Those who refuse will be uniformly punished by the 'Order Supervision Department'. The first violation will result in a reduction of energy allocation and a deduction of corresponding contribution points; the second violation will lead to expulsion from the company, left to survive or perish in the wasteland."
Shang Jianyao said with a serious expression
Shang Jianyao looked at him and said without a hint of a smile
This is not the key point; the key point is your name
Glancing at the only LCD screen on the entire floor, the leading girl couldn't help but whisper
