Chapter 1 An unexpected acquaintance
"Since you don't believe me, I can't say anything...com might as well ask your boss to come out and see it yourself. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm just a mechanical engineer who is here to apply for a job. Although I don't have any university diplomas, certificates of incomplete studies, etc., I believe I have enough ability to do the job assigned by the company."
The sound happened between a 1.85-meter-tall Chinese and a blond American female secretary. The man named Zhang Yu came to this Chinese American company to ask for a meal. The company was recruiting technical talents from the machinery, chemical and other industries with high salaries. Engineer-level figures were treated very well. And the most important point is that this company claims to have absolutely no racial discrimination. For Chinese people who live in the United States, it is like a big pie falling from the sky, and a life-saving straw that is pinched at the critical moment of life and death. Therefore, for Zhang Yu, who is already a little empty, it is difficult to find a company like this kind of company with lanterns and torches.
From the initial test to the next interview and recruitment officer, the Americans are still responsible for these two links. Just when Zhang Yu was still wondering whether the company was mainly Chinese, he was notified to be qualified to pass, which means that half of his foot or even half of his body had already entered the company. The last link was also quite simple, which was to meet the boss and let the boss know his future employees.
Zhang Yu was naturally very satisfied with such a result. When he was still dreaming about how to get promoted and make money, the secretary in charge of the handover did not believe the facts in front of him: a Chinese person can be about 1.8 meters tall, with a good appearance, and a handsome appearance. Then he thought, her boss was not also a Chinese, and was nearly 1.8 meters tall and handsome, but what still made her doubt was that Zhang Yu claimed that he was the Chinese mechanical engineer who had obtained the qualification to apply for the job. The careful secretary repeatedly checked the information in his hand. This guy who only wrote about the date of birth, date of birth, and location, was even more suspicious, so a quarrel was inevitable.
"Okay, it was my misconduct just now. I sincerely apologize to you, but I ask you to believe what I said is the truth. In addition, if you are always unwilling to believe my truth, you might as well ask your company boss to come out and let him meet me in person, take the exam, and let him decide whether to hire me. What do you think of the beautiful secretary who is dedicated to me?" After a constant argument, it will only make both parties more confident in their answers. Zhang Yu, who calmed down, quickly changed his attitude.
"Okay, sir. I can let our boss meet you especially once, but whether we can seize the opportunity is your business." After that, the secretary quickly disappeared from the corner of the corridor with his light information and stepped on the light high heels. After about five minutes, she smiled and walked to Zhang Yu and said, "Our boss is very happy that you are a Chinese. There will be no time limit for your conversation with him. Please!"
"Okay, thank you." Zhang Yu suddenly felt a feeling of uneasiness. He couldn't explain why, so he rushed to the female secretary just now. Is it really as people outside said that the boss of this company has a "quirk" and likes yellow skin. When Zhang Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but sweat. However, for work, he resolutely sorted out his clothes and set off with the secretary.
"Are you Zhang Yu?" As soon as he entered the door, a young man behind a desk filled with various documents and materials said to Zhang Yu. "Please sit down first, we have time to chat slowly!" After that, the young man signaled the secretary to bring a leather chair for Zhang Yu.
**As soon as he sat down, Zhang Yu suddenly felt like he was going home. In fact, Zhang Yu had noticed the office layout of the boss of this company. As the saying goes, the boss and the employee are born hostile. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you have a high salary and benefits. However, the result of a quick scan made Zhang Yu feel like he was going home, and accompanied by a stronger uneasiness, especially after sitting in the wheel leather chair and seeing the boss's outfit.
After the secretary left tactfully, Zhang Yu officially started a conversation with his boss. The same conversation was nothing more than entanglement of work and future treatment. Of course, you still need to know more about your interests, hobbies and family situations.
"Starting tomorrow, you can go to work formally. The probation period is one month and the salary is half of the official salary. The company can provide free accommodation and three meals, but there is no medical insurance..." As the young man said, he realized that he seemed to be saying something wrong, Zhang Yu on the opposite side had already frowned. "The medical insurance I mentioned is not other meaning. A simple accident company such as work injury can provide you with some help. Of course, the company also has a medical room. Fever, colds and other things can be treated for free! Well, if you are willing, you can sign this document."
"Oh, so that's what it means!" Although Zhang Yu agreed to the mouth, the feeling of anxiety in his heart was even stronger. He had been strictly trained in another time and space, but this strange smell could not make Zhang Yu feel dangerous, so he had to regard it as the fear of applying for a job for the first time!
As soon as Zhang Yu walked out of the company's door, another conversation had occurred in the boss's office that he had just been.
"Immediately ask someone to follow him and investigate him, but don't show any flaws!" The young man said to the other person very softly. He had too many questions and confusions in his heart. Young Chinese who could pass two levels and get excellent comments. When did the Chinese produce such geniuses? The overseas students of the Qing Dynasty may not have such a level of international students. And since they are here to apply for the job, who would wear very incompatible clothes? In short, there are too many questions that make people alert.
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Zhang Yu, who was officially working, did not feel excited. What happened after applying for the job yesterday made him very unhappy. There were already many times when he wanted to quit his job and refused to do it. He thought about the outrageous penalty, but he still came to work with a tough bullet. However, before that, he needed to figure out the unhappy thing yesterday.
"I'm very disappointed, very, very disappointed!"
"Don't ask whether you are disappointed or not, I just want to ask you one thing, who is the sacred person you are?"
As soon as Zhang Yu entered the company, he was called to the boss's office by his secretary. When he felt that he was right, the secretary closed the door and reminded him that he was the only one who was the young boss in this room. So Zhang Yu directly expressed his dissatisfaction, but he did not expect that the young man behind the table was faster and directly choked Zhang Yu, who had an advantage just now, who had just taken the initiative.
"Don't tell me that you are the son of a wealthy family. Because of a sudden change in the family, your beloved son, who is both good at learning, wanders overseas, and even lives in a park. Don't tell me what kind of genius you are. There is already a self-taught Edison in this world. The Qing Dynasty, which has no basic cultural education, cannot cultivate monsters like you. Moreover, it's pretty good!" The young man said the main reason for what happened yesterday, which was suspicion and confrontation, suspicion, stalking and counter-stalking, until the person being followed could not help but hurt someone.
"You are so violent in China? If I'm right, I guess I must have committed a murder in China and ran to the United States. The New York police are really useless to let you cheat like a monster for so long! You shouldn't belong to this era, right? Maybe you also saw my background, I don't care, but your situation is very worrying."
"I finally know why my graduation score is qualified, not as good as other disciplines. Deliberate disguise will always reveal inevitable flaws, and the real is always real." Zhang Yu was discovered through his identity. With the failure of his first mission and his first "actual combat" identity disguise skills, he finally realized his shortcomings, understood why the base gave him a qualified rather than excellent, and also understood why he could not perform field tasks. Even the boss of a small company quickly discovered that his origin was unknown, and he had something to say.
"I'm not a strict post-80s generation, what about you?" The young man also felt that he had revealed his secrets. Of course, he consciously told his origins. However, he had no worries because the person in front of him was also Chinese. He finally came to the 20th century to "play" and everyone should say that the peace is the best for mutual benefit. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, my name is Zhang Yusheng. Many people say that my name is the same as a celebrity but not the same, between the two..."
"My real name is not Zhang Yu. I only know that I follow my mother's surname. I cannot say it before the time to lift the ban. Also, what did you just say about the post-80s? What is the post-80s generation? The year I graduated was the millennium, a graduate of the 3,000-year-old engineering machinery at United University of Technology. What about you? Could it be a senior brother of the 1980s generation, but you don't look old at all?"
Zhang Yu said this, and he did not regard Zhang Yusheng as an outsider, but the one who was choked was the young man named Zhang Yusheng and the singer. "What? A graduate of 3000, buddy, you are not kidding! This is New York, USA in 1910. Before the days of the lights and telephones upstairs and downstairs, you told me that you were a person from the 30th century? Did you beat me up by those seven or eight people yesterday? Otherwise, either you are sick or I am sick! The novels I have read, whether it is science fiction or fictitious, are all from the same era. We are four-family young people in the 21st century."
“Twenty-first century?”
...........
In the next few days, the two people who were also traveling around their own identities and family situations began to discuss their respective identities and family situations carefully. More time was to exchange their views on this era. Young people always had many common topics and preferences, and their relationship naturally improved a lot after getting along for a few days.
"Brother, I said how you came to this place. Just say that the 30th century is good? Why do you have to go for a walk in the twentieth century, the dim and dark century? As a Chinese, I don't want to recall the bleak history of the first half of the 20th century. Instead, you came here to experience it yourself. If technology is so developed, you should travel to a better era?"
In the staff dormitory at night, the two of them got a dozen beer and a small stack of beef, and started another late-night conversation before going to bed. The curious Zhang Yusheng always wanted to understand the origin of his senior employee. He straightened the technical projects planned by the company in a simple five or six days. His profound knowledge of science and engineering made Zhang Yusheng so excited that he shouted that it was not Lin Daimei who fell from the sky, but another Edison-like figure. Although he was tinkered with higher education in later generations and used other people's knowledge theories, it was already a treasure in this world and could assist Zhang Yusheng's dream.
"Do you think I want to come here. No matter how advanced our technology was at that time, how could it be possible to send humans back a thousand years ago? But you, the networm of the 21st century? A talent who can even be fascinated by binary computers!"
"Haha, I was operating an astronomical telescope in the dormitory at that time. I didn't expect to take a look at it casually. I suddenly saw a very dazzling white light appearing in the vast dark universe. It was very beautiful. I remembered what many people said, making a wish to the meteor. I hope that my country, including my country, can meet the standards of developed countries, and do not be angry with the United States, dwarfs, and Goryeo charlatans. As a result, I came to this era and fell directly in the United States. Later I realized that maybe God asked me to create whatever I wanted, and it started over again from the humiliating history of the Chinese nation."
"Then you should also fall in the 19th century, such as during the Opium War? And you are not facing a meteor, or a comet cloud cluster. You can travel through time with a wish, so scientists need to make a fuss?"
"But the wish I made at that time was to drive a Mercedes-Benz sedan or escort a fully armed Hummer convoy, and my country could be like the United States in the 21st century. Wherever there was something wrong, our aircraft carrier fleet would be there. The embassy was bombed, the planes were hit, the territory was maliciously divided, the cultural traditions of our ancestors were deprived, and all the wrongs caused by the strength of the country were gone. As for why this turned out, you still have to listen to your story to determine the answer." After that, Zhang Yusheng picked up the bottle and started drinking it.
Who would like to live in a strange place, and it is a country full of discrimination and injustice everywhere? What reason does a country that you hate to make you feel comfortable? The inner desire is as unbearable as a butterfly before breaking out of the cocoon, but the wishes made before are always entangled in your heart like ghosts, reminding yourself that this is not just a game, nor an empty dream. Only by being half awake and half asleep can you get a little tranquility. The best way to reach this state is to drink and have learned the drinking career since you were in college.
"I'm very sorry, I was brought to this society where birds don't produce gold and ducks don't make money. Why did I come from is much more complicated than you, let me tell you in detail." Then Zhang Yu began his big journey of complaining, and shared the hardships of these days to his older 'big brother'.
Zhang Yu was originally a graduate student who had just graduated from the First Universal University of Technology. He became an orphan at a young age. Since he was a child, he hoped to fly his own spacecraft in the vast universe and explore new planets to develop his own territory. After graduation, he used his legacy and a large government employment promotion loan to buy a 100,000-ton interstellar cargo ship - Tianyu 1. The students in college also had money to contribute money and technology without money. They carried out great modifications at the space repair factory where their parents were good, and successfully obtained the navigation qualification. Soon he received the first cold business assigned by the company online.
He would not dislike the business of sailing alone for several months, but his luck seemed to be used up when he was modified and obtained a flight license. He was placed on the first flight by someone else. Interstellar pirates robbed Zhang Yu, asking for money and goods, and finally he realized that the cargo owner was still a family with the pirates. Those guys were thinking of cheating insurance for insurance companies and Zhang Yu's free freight transportation might even take Zhang Yu and the ship and people together.
As a result, Zhang Yu ran around in a panic and left the route far away. He accidentally rushed into a group of white light bodies that suddenly appeared. When he woke up, he found that he and his Tianyu-1 spacecraft were buried in the Takramakan Desert in China. The thick yellow sand had long hidden the huge figure of Tianyu-1, and Zhang Yu himself seemed to have slept for thousands of years.
After relocating the spaceship, he realized that he was not the time to come. China was in the late Qing Dynasty, and the momentum of the revolutionary party was getting stronger and stronger. The Xinhai Revolution was about to break out soon. The country was a melee between white and blue. I couldn't stand the tragedy of the officials fighting and the people suffered. Zhang Yu had to come to the United States and hoped to establish his own foundation in the United States. When the domestic situation stabilized in the future, he could return to China to display his talents, like Yamei Company and accept recruitment. Zhang Yusheng also knew what happened next. Of course, Zhang Yu didn't know if this self-explanation made Zhang Yusheng believe it, but judging from Zhang Yusheng's satisfied smile, he could pass the test.
"Do you have any plans? It's impossible to be a small employee without having all your abilities, right? I, a second-rate university graduate, still know that people must make a difference in their identity if they want to live with ideals and pursuits, especially in the face of such a heartbreaking motherland, don't you want to do something that men do?"
"Sorry, I was born as a child of a military family. If you hadn't appeared, I would also know what I should do..."
"Ah? Are you a military family? Then why did you say you were just a college graduate?" Zhang Yusheng's good alcohol tolerance trained during his school days was not blowing. No matter how drunk he was, his ears were still a little sober, in order to hear the ringtone of his girlfriend at any time. Long-term training could easily make him hear the four harsh words. After a while of confusion, he said, "Is there a need for militia in your era?" This sentence was expressed, and his eyes were almost closed in a line.
"Haha, that's right! Brother Zhang, you're drunk, go to bed!" Zhang Yu snatched the cup from Zhang Yusheng's hand and asked him to lie down and cover it with a quilt. Zhang Yu also returned to his bed, thought for a while and fell asleep.
Chapter completed!
