Chapter 690: Restrictive Measures
In a laboratory in San Francisco, the researchers who were usually busy with research were gathered together for a rare occasion.
Originally, they had many experimental groups, each in charge of different experiments, and there was no strong correlation between many people.
Now when they meet, they look at each other, not knowing what happened or what to do.
Not long after, the head of the laboratory pushed open the door and walked in, escorted by several bodyguards.
Normally, this person in charge doesn't have such a grand ceremony.
But this time, besides him and the bodyguards, there was also a middle-aged man in a casual suit.
Although he came here casually under the protection of bodyguards, he exuded the aura of a superior.
Some senior staff members in the laboratory quickly recognized that this person was the financial backer behind the laboratory!
A direct descendant of an ancient large chaebol!
"This is Mr. George. Mr. George has always been a supporter of the laboratory's funds. Your welfare, income, and the laboratory's own expenses all come from Mr. George."
The person in charge first introduced Mr. George quite formally, and then said in a somewhat serious tone:
"I know that the recent friction between Umbrella and Da Piaoliang has caused many people to be restless. Mr. George came here this time because he had something to say."
Then he bowed and left to make room for George.
George also stood up with a nonchalant attitude and said
"Some of you may have seen me before, but some of you newcomers may not know me. I may not be able to call out all of your names, but there is no doubt that you have been receiving the salary and compensation I pay you, and enjoying the benefits I provide."
When he said this, George's face gradually became serious.
"It is me who has granted you a good life. Everything you have now is given by me! Therefore, you must also bring enough value to me!"
"You know the progress of your experiment. So far, there has been only input but almost no output, which has wasted a lot of my money. However, I value talent very much, so I have never blamed you. I hope that you can succeed one day and achieve what I want , but..."
At this point, his expression became even more fierce.
"In recent days, according to my intelligence, I have learned that many of you have taken the test of Umbrella's settlement rights. What does this mean?"
"You ate my food, took my things, and wasted so much of my money, and now you're still thinking of leaving? Don't some of you really think less of me?"
At this point, George's face suddenly became gloomy.
The bodyguards behind also took a step forward at the same time, showing their majesty.
This sudden change made many researchers in the laboratory below turn pale.
Many of them have indeed tried Umbrella's settlement rights test, and some of them have actually passed!
However, they have always signed a confidentiality agreement with the laboratory, and they also know that the laboratory has strong support.
But they didn't expect that the test they conducted secretly would also be discovered?
Is it a test, or are they really keeping a high level of surveillance on them all the time?
"Now, I'll give you a chance. For those of you who didn't pass the settlement right test, forget about it. For those who passed, please step forward and do your work with peace of mind. I'll forgive you for what happened. Otherwise, you can feel why I have the money to support this laboratory ..."
Hearing this, all the researchers couldn't help but feel a huge pressure!
They can't be stupid to have reached this level and done this kind of work.
Even though they don't have much energy in dealing with social matters, they are smart enough to understand the essence of beauty.
All the rules and regulations are listed out, in fact, the purpose is to find ways to circumvent them and find loopholes!
Many things are completely different from those rules and regulations.
Several people who passed the test struggled in their hearts, but finally stood up one after another.
One of them bowed his head and explained
"Mr. George, you misunderstood . I was just curious about what Umbrella's test was. After all, I am somewhat confident in my abilities. I wanted to find an opportunity to go there to complete a physical examination and see the condition of my body."
Another person followed suit and said
"Yes, I feel the same way. I have accumulated a lot of injuries in my waist over the years. Ordinary treatments are useless. I want to see if Umbrella has any solution."
"I did it for my father..."
"My wife is not in good health..."
“…”
Several researchers who had passed the settlement right test also began to speak out.
In just one laboratory, five or six people passed the assessment, which is enough to show the strength of their laboratory.
After all, this is a global screening of millions of people!
George looked at the group of people calmly, and did not say anything about their explanation. He just said calmly:
"Let's not talk about your situation for now, but there is still one person who hasn't come forward. Are you hoping for the best?"
George looked at the youngest researcher with a cold expression.
This is an Asian researcher who looks to be in his twenties.
The fact that he is working in a laboratory of this level at this age is enough to show how capable he is.
Facing this question and looking at the other party's eyes, Liu Kang's face turned pale. He knew that the other party was really monitoring everyone and knew every move.
Then he stood up and said without hiding anything.
"Mr. George, since you know that we have conducted tests, you should also be aware of our situation! My mother's condition can't last long, I must find a treatment plan for her, I must go to Penglai!"
Liu Kang's ancestors came to Da Piaoliang more than a hundred years ago. They started out as laborers and gradually accumulated money, from hard labor to saving money to open a restaurant, and then to a supermarket. Only then did they successfully support Liu Kang and he became the pride of the whole family.
But because of my parents’ hard work, not only did my father pass away prematurely, but my mother also accumulated a lot of illnesses.
It is already quite difficult to support him as the family savings are insufficient.
There is no way to go to expensive private hospitals.
Continuous examinations and queues. It takes several weeks to take an X-ray and a while to do a test. Then the treatment plan and surgery are determined.
As a result, his mother's cancer spread during the final surgery. Although treatment had already begun and insurance had paid for a lot of the expenses, the disease was temporarily stabilized with the help of expensive targeted drugs.
But with the insurance company's sudden decision not to renew the contract, the huge subsequent financial expenditure directly overwhelmed his entire family.
Even though Liu Kang worked in a laboratory of this level, he earned a lot of money.
But faced with the astronomical cost, he still couldn't afford it.
When the news started to appear in Penglai, Liu Kang had been paying attention to it and even bought a VR device to try out the mecha competition.
But it was obvious that although he was very talented, he was meaningless and had no chance or hope.
The subsequent 'hand speed test' also failed, which made him devote all his energy to the settlement right test.
And it passed!
My mother will soon be able to receive Umbrella’s highly effective treatment. Regardless of whether it will be successful or not, it at least represents hope!
However, now the sponsor of the laboratory he works for wants to stop this hope, which he cannot tolerate.
"I did sign an agreement with the laboratory, but I passed the Umbrella's top settlement rights clause. According to the communication, they are willing to pay all my breach of contract fees!"
George was a little surprised that the other party had passed the top qualification, but when he heard about the penalty for breach of contract, he laughed out loud.
"Breach of contract fee? Do you think that the only way I can restrict you is with that piece of paper? How naive..."
How many people commit suicide every year?
Even without suicides, there are more than a hundred gun deaths every day, and hundreds of drug overdoses every day.
If there is one more case among them, then there will naturally be more, it doesn’t matter at all…
