Area C on the 495th floor, an activity center with gray-green exterior walls and all kinds of graffiti, six or seven girls walked in with expressions of excitement, anticipation, or nervousness.
Their clothes are simple in style and monotonous in color matching, mainly blue, black, white and green, but all of them have exquisite looks and are just right for their youth.
Looking at the only LCD screen on the entire floor, the girl in the lead couldn't help but whispered:
"I wonder what kind of husband the company will assign me?"
"It's mainly about your personality." Beside her, the girl in a green top and blue trousers bit her lower lip.
As the second generation of the popularization of genetically modified drugs, they are not worried about the appearance and height of their future husbands, they are above the standard anyway.
The leading girl glanced at her companion:
"You forgot, not only those of our age who participated in the unified marriage, but also those whose wives have passed away, some of them are in their 40s and 50s. They have not undergone genetic improvement at the embryonic stage and have many defects."
In order to ensure that there are enough newborns, the company they work for stipulates: "Anyone who is over 20 years old or who has graduated from higher education and who has not married freely will be arranged by the company as a spouse, and those who do not accept it will be punished by the 'Order Supervision Department'. For the first violation, the energy ration will be reduced, and the corresponding contribution points will be deducted. For the second violation, the company will be exiled and will fend for itself in the dust."
Similarly, those who are widowed and have no offspring are forced to participate in the unified distribution three years after being widowed and under the age of 60.
"And, even if it's not these people, don't you expect your future husband to be in an M-class family?" Another girl joined the discussion and joked.
The company is divided into three levels: first, D-level employees, from D1 to D9; second, M-level management, from director level represented by M1 to board members and chief scientists corresponding to M3; third, there is no letter code, only one title , that is "Big Boss", a very mysterious lady.
The girl in the green top and blue trousers pouted and said:
"When did you hear that people on ordinary floors get their spouses on floors 346, 347, 348, 349?"
346 to 349 are the floors where M-level managers live. The energy supply is abundant. The per capita housing area is more than ten times that of ordinary employees. Moreover, these four floors have their own independent elevators, water purification, ventilation, sewage and education. system, their children will not normally have contact with ordinary employees.
The only exception is the higher education stage, as the entire company has only one university, on the 350th floor.
Children of ordinary employees need exams to decide whether to start a job or go to university, while children of management are exempt from exams for higher education.
Within the company, there is no one who does not want to be the management, and there is no one who does not want to have a relationship with the management.
As for the "big boss", ordinary employees don't even know what she looks like. Only at the end of the year, the beginning of the year, or when a major event occurs, can they hear her voice through the radio, so it's very Few people imagine being appreciated by the "big boss" and jumping up to the management level.
Of course, few say there is, just not much.
The leading girl heard the words with a smile:
"So I always let you fall in love freely in school. Look at Chen Bei, her husband was booked by the 'Material Management Department' as soon as he graduated, and his family must have a background!"
"Meng Xia, are you embarrassed to say that? Why don't you fall in love freely?" The other girls mocked at the same time.
"You don't know me? What I'm best at is talking." Meng Xia admitted that he didn't have the courage at all without any shame.
After laughing about this for a while, the girl in the green top and blue trousers asked curiously:
"Meng Xia, do you know what level Chen Bei's husband's family is? You have always been familiar with each other."
Meng Xia glanced left and right, and said in a low voice:
"Said it was the Director of Operations Cluster of the Security Department."
"Wow..." When the girls exclaimed, a group of young men walked in at the gate of the activity center.
The two groups of people looked at each other for a few seconds, and each looked away slightly shyly, after all, no one could tell whether their future husband (wife) was on the opposite side.
A man who is about 1.75 meters tall and has a refreshing slack glanced at the old tables in the activity center and the benches and back chairs around the table, and said to his companion next to him with a little nervousness:
"Shang Jianyao, what kind of wife will the company assign me?"
His companion is about 1.85 meters, with straight eyebrows, bright brown eyes, deep lines on his face, slightly messy black hair, covering half of his forehead.
The young man named Shang Jianyao glanced sideways at his companion and said:
"First of all, you have to be assigned to talk about what it is like."
He was wearing a dark blue two-piece, and his arms were bulging, slightly lined by the fabric, looking both masculine and powerful.
"Ha, isn't it so unlucky? This time there are only two more men than women." The man with a height of 1.75 meters and relatively ordinary facial features laughed.
His expression gradually settled down, and he muttered:
"Will they look down on me, I am only 1.75 meters after genetic modification, and I am not handsome, and my grades in various subjects are only average..."
Shang Jianyao said with a serious expression:
"It's not the point, the point is your name."
"Name? What's wrong with the name Long Yuehong? My father's surname is Long, and my mother's name has a scarlet letter, how meaningful it is." Long Yuehong wondered to himself, "Yes, the company's uniform distribution does not depend on my height. How much, what I look like, it is said that they are all random excluding blood relationship... Ah, will they treat me as a woman because of the name, and then assign me a husband? What can I do?"
Shang Jianyao looked at Long Yuehong up and down and said:
"Biological organ transplantation, nerve reconstruction, artificial uterus, perfect solution to the problem."
Long Yuehong smiled awkwardly:
"Haha, how is that possible? I mean how could they be wrong, every profile of mine is male!
"Your thinking is really strange, shouldn't normal people think about appealing?"
Before waiting for Shang Jianyao to respond, he added:
"So, why is my name the key?"
"A name represents a person's fate, and random assignment is fate." Shang Jianyao replied solemnly.
Long Yuehong's expression froze for two seconds and said:
"I knew you couldn't give any constructive ideas!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to ask:
"Shang Jianyao, what kind of wife do you want assigned?"
Shang Jianyao raised his chin and said:
"I do not need.
"The company's resources are insufficient, the human beings above the dust are in dire straits, and the shadows of famine, infection, distortion, and animalization still hang over the whole world. How can I get married?"
"..." Long Yuehong let out a "ha", "You are getting more and more joking."
Shang Jianyao looked at him and said without a smile:
"I have applied to waive this unified distribution."
"Are you serious? Impossible, how could the company promise you to give up this unified distribution! Haha, I almost believed you!" Long Yuehong was startled at first, then heaved a sigh of relief.
Just after he finished speaking, Chen Xianyu, the director of the activity center on the 495th floor, left his position, walked to the LCD screen, and started debugging.
This gray-haired, slightly staggering old man used to be an employee of the Ministry of Security and was responsible for external operations. He has always reached the level of D7 team leader. Later, because of his age, he left the Ministry of Security and was promoted to a level of D8. The manager is in charge of the activity center on this floor.
Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were very curious about the old grandfather's past experience. They always liked to come to the activity center to play and ask questions. However, Chen Xianyu strictly abides by the confidentiality regulations, and just picked up some knowledge that everyone knows. Just like an ordinary employee who was born, grew up, studied, worked, grew up, and grew old in the "Inner Ecological Zone", who has never been out of an underground building in his life and has seen the real sky.
"Okay, it's time to start." Chen Xianyu held a remote control pad and pressed it hard.
The display screen flickered a few times, then gave out a faint light.
Long Yuehong, Meng Xia and the others held their breaths, waiting for the results of the assignment.
They weren't worried that the entries would scroll too quickly and that they wouldn't be able to see clearly, because the activity center on each floor only displayed the portion of the results that were relevant to the residents on that floor.
