In this atmosphere, the boy who had finished his performance fled the basketball court as if escaping.
……
Back in the classroom, the boy packed his things and prepared to go to the club activity room.
"Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, that move you made was so cool!" Zhou Han stood by the boy's desk, her round eyes sparkling.
"Is everything alright? So, shall we go together now?" The boy looked calmly at Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi, who was standing silently beside him.
"Yes, Ruan Jingyi and I are ready." Zhou Han took her best friend's arm, her face full of curiosity. "So what important thing is there to announce?"
"We'll talk about it later." The boy shook his head, picked up his things, and left the classroom with the two of them.
The three walked through the long corridor covered with wisteria and headed towards the club activity building.
Zhou Han walked briskly, very close to the boy, and suddenly said, "Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, tell me the truth, the announcement isn't about you starting a company, is it?"
The boy raised an eyebrow and turned his gaze to Ruan Jingyi.
The quiet girl's gaze flickered, and she lowered her head. "I'm sorry..."
"Cheng Fei, don't blame her! I forced her to say it. I saw her in your car last time, so I was a little curious." Zhou Han quickly shielded her best friend behind her.
"It's nothing. Company matters aren't secrets. Asking her to keep it a secret is just to avoid unnecessary attention." The young man shook his head.
"What secrets does the Corridor Research Department still hold?" Zhou Han's round eyes widened as she stared at the boy's face.
"If you really have to ask, you should think about this question first."
"What's the problem?"
The three of them climbed the stairs side by side.
Are there aliens in this world?
……
613. Zhou Han almost became a wanted criminal in the entire universe.
Cheng Fei led Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi to the rooftop. When they pushed open the door to room 601, Shen Xi and Nagasaki Asuna were already sitting inside.
Shen Xi lowered her eyes to read, her face expressionless.
"Welcome~" Nagasaki Asuna smiled as she brewed tea, poured it for everyone, and pushed it in front of them.
On the large table made up of desks pieced together from school desks, Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi immediately noticed something strange.
A laptop sits on the table, its screen on. The empty desktop is covered by a live wallpaper depicting a lush, dilapidated courtyard. A young girl with short white hair, dressed in a blue and white sailor uniform, holds a white straight umbrella and gazes at the distant blue sea and sky with her back to the camera.
Next to the laptop, a lifelike robotic hand is fixed on the table, as exquisite as a work of art, with a data cable connected to the laptop.
"Please wait a moment, Miriam will come and we'll begin." Cheng Fei sat down and enjoyed the tea brewed by Nagasaki Asuna.
In the quiet club activity room, Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi exchanged a glance and obediently sat down side by side.
Not long after, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, which was then pushed open with a bang. Miriam walked in energetically, raising one hand. "Junior, I'm here! What's the important matter?"
"Senior, please have a seat." Cheng Fei gestured for her to sit down.
Miriam sat down obediently and waited for Nagasaki Asuna to hand her tea. She excitedly took a sip, then made a face as if she had been burned, sticking out her tongue and fanning herself vigorously.
Cheng Fei realized that Nagasaki Asuna had deliberately heated the tea, which was at the perfect temperature.
The sweet girl who was the culprit sat next to him, with a gentle, harmless smile on her face. She met the boy's gaze and winked secretly.
Cheng Fei decided to ignore the matter and went over to close the door that Milian hadn't closed.
During this process, Nagasaki Asuna, who was resting her chin on her hands, suddenly turned her head to look outside the door. She blinked as if she sensed something, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips before she turned back.
Cheng Fei looked at Shen Xi and asked, "Teacher Shen, should I give the presentation or should you?"
"Of course, this kind of thing is your responsibility as the vice minister." The aloof girl glanced at him, her face indifferent.
“Okay.” The boy nodded immediately, looked at the three people who had been waiting for a long time, cleared his throat, and spoke in a serious tone, “The three of you, we often say that there is more than one path. No matter what you were like before, now there is a special path in front of you that is enough to completely change your lives. It depends on whether you are willing to choose it.”
Zhou Han and Ruan Jingyi looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Junior! Are we rehearsing a play for our graduation party?" Miriam was instantly excited, her eyes sparkling.
"Uh, senior, no." Cheng Fei opened his mouth.
“That’s a role-playing game! Junior, you’re the KP, right?” Miriam continued, her eyes sparkling.
Shen Xi let out a sneer.
"Senior, calm down and let me finish." Cheng Fei raised his hand to Milian, sighed, and said helplessly, "Alright, I'll get straight to the point. I called you here today to ask if you'd like to join the real Corridor Research Department."
“The real Corridor Research Department?!” Miriam’s eyes lit up.
"Yes."
"what is that?"
"Before I explain, you need to promise one thing: no matter what you hear next, and regardless of whether you want to join or not, you must keep it absolutely secret after you go back and not tell anyone." The boy said seriously, scanning the three of them.
"Cheng Fei, don't worry, we're tight-lipped, right, right, Ruan Jingyi?" Zhou Han looked at her best friend.
"Mmm." The quiet girl nodded softly.
"Don't worry, junior. Even if I betray you, I will never betray Miss Nagasaki!" Miriam puffed out her flat chest, looking proud.
Cheng Fei and Nagasaki Asuna exchanged a glance, and only after she nodded did they clap their hands and stand up. "Then let's officially begin. First, let me introduce another member of the Corridor Research Club, Isena, commonly known as Little Isena."
The boy solemnly drew the three men's attention to the laptop screen on the table.
The air fell silent for a second.
Zhou Han blinked, and Ruan Jingyi blinked too. The two of them stared at the boy.
"Junior! You actually named your notebook?" Miriam asked in surprise.
"It's not the laptop, it's this thing inside." Cheng Fei looked down at the screen and clicked the mouse furiously on the back of the girl's head, which was facing away from the camera. "Tsk, Xiao Yi, turn around and strike a pose before I format you."
Isena staggered, as if she had really been hit on the back of the head, opened her white umbrella and disappeared with a thud, reappearing in front of the camera, her small face taking up most of the screen. She carefully covered the back of her head and said, "I'm sorry, Governor, I was just spacing out..."
"Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, your live wallpaper can talk?" Zhou Han's round eyes widened slightly.
"I'm not a wallpaper, you stupid Earthlings!" Isena protested without hesitation, her little face fierce yet adorable.
"She can even swear? How adorably silly." Zhou Han became quite interested.
"You dare insult the Protoss? You're finished! I'm going to use hyperdimensional broadcasting to send an annihilation order to all Protoss in the universe. You're going to die..." Isena lowered her head and gritted her teeth, muttering like a child saying she was going to write down the name of her enemy in her notebook.
"So cute~ Where did you download this?" Zhou Han became even more interested, completely unaware that she was about to become a wanted criminal by an alien civilization.
"Little Yi, don't do anything reckless! They are the Queen's friends!" Cheng Fei quickly said. Although theoretically Yisena couldn't contact any help right now, it wouldn't be good if a Protoss fleet suddenly descended on Earth one day and demanded that the United Nations hand over Zhou Han or else launch a doomsday judgment.
"The Queen's friend? Well, never mind..." Isena shrank back, looking a little dejected.
"Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, where can I download this wallpaper app?" Zhou Han turned her curious gaze to the boy, her little face showing an expression that said, "I want to have it too."
“Xiao Yi isn’t wallpaper, she’s an alien, though she does look a lot like wallpaper.” The boy shook his head and ordered, “Xiao Yi, introduce yourself to them.”
“Yes, Archon.” The young girl stood at attention in a second. “I am the high-performance management apostle of the Corridor Species Repository, created by the great Protoss Queen herself. My cluster sequence is 613. My name is Isena.”
"Is it really an alien?" Miriam exclaimed in surprise, looking at Cheng Fei with excitement. "Junior, could it be that you found it during that yacht trip?!"
Cheng Fei was filled with doubt and surprise. Looking at the blonde, blue-eyed British female exchange student, he felt for the first time that her seemingly unlearned eyes were brimming with wisdom.
"Senior, congratulations on guessing correctly."
"I see! Then why didn't you tell me sooner?" Miriam was even more excited.
"Because it involves too much, I've thought about it for a long time," the boy said, shrugging.
"Wait, wait! Are aliens serious? And what's with sailing a yacht out to sea?" Zhou Han looked at the two people talking as if it were the most natural thing in the world, her small face full of doubt.
……
614. Zhou Han's eyes were vacant.
Using Isena and Dexterity as evidence, Cheng Fei spent some time explaining the secrets of the Corridor Research Department to the three of them.
"...That's all there is to it. I'm exhausted, let me have some water." The boy's mouth was dry as he spoke, and he picked up a cup of tea and gulped it down.
"Cheng Fei...you guys are really not joking, are you?" Zhou Han's pupils dilated, her small face blank, losing its usual energy.
Even on Ruan Jingyi's quiet and delicate face, there was a visible hint of doubt.
"Why was Shen Xi chosen instead of me? I can't accept it, sob sob sob...!" Only Miriam covered her mouth and let out a painful sound.
This prompted a sneer from the aloof girl on the other side who had been engrossed in her book the whole time.
"Senior, Shen Xi wasn't chosen. She was originally the Celestial Queen, a genuine alien." Cheng Fei tried to pat the aloof girl's head, but she dodged him and glared back with murderous eyes.
"Shen Xi, Shen Xi, are you really an alien? Which planet are you from?" Zhou Han asked with curiosity.
"I told you I don't know." The cool and aloof girl frowned slightly, looking annoyed.
"Actually, the spaceship she was on crashed on Earth. She happened to meet a girl named Shen Xi and merged herself into her. Unexpectedly, Shen Xi's willpower was strong, and she suppressed the personality of the Star Spirit Queen." Cheng Fei said seriously.
"Really? Where is the spaceship?" Zhou Han's round eyes were full of anticipation, and she regained some of her energy.
"Sorry, I made that up." The boy lowered his head.
"Huh?" Zhou Han lost her energy again.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up." Shen Xi took a deep breath, pinched her brow, and kicked him under the table.
“Okay, now that you all understand the general situation, if you are willing to become Shen Xi’s apostles, then sign this management trainee contract. Our Real Technology Co., Ltd. implements a flexible work system with generous benefits. The monthly salary during the internship period is 3,000 yuan, and after three months of probation, the annual salary is 60,000 yuan, including five social insurances and one housing fund. After three years, you will be assigned to the corresponding management position in the department based on your personal strengths…” The young man spoke rapidly, like a senior HR professional, and took out the documents he had prepared in advance and handed them to the three of them.
"Wait, wait, why do we need to sign a contract to become an apostle? Can you sign a contract for something like this?" Zhou Han asked, looking bewildered.
“Of course, real technology is the physical embodiment of our Apostle Cluster; otherwise, how could we adapt to modern society?” the boy said, shrugging.
"But... Cheng Fei, you won't hurt me, will you? I want to look at the contract first." Zhou Han shrank her neck and carefully browsed the densely packed clauses on the document.
"It's fine to take it home and read it," the boy shrugged nonchalantly.
Ruan Jingyi silently picked up the pen, signed and stamped the document, handed it back, her face expressionless, "It's signed."
"Ruan Jingyi, you...?" Zhou Han's pupils contracted.
"I've signed it too!" Miriam licked her lips and signed with lightning speed, then looked up with starry eyes. "Miss Nagasaki! We'll be colleagues from now on, right?"
Nagasaki Asuna tilted her head and gave a helpless smile.
"Milian, what's wrong with you too?" Zhou Han turned around, dumbfounded.
Under everyone's gaze, the petite girl looked at the boy opposite her, her expression seeking something, "Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, shall we be friends from now on?"
"Of course." The boy looked at her with his hands in his pockets.
"Then I'll sign it too." She gritted her teeth and signed and pressed her fingerprint in the corresponding position.
"Okay, welcome to our team, all three of you." Cheng Fei led the applause.
Nagasaki Asuna and Isena on the screen also clapped.
After a brief welcoming ceremony, Nagasaki Asuna took all the contracts.
"Cheng Fei, Cheng Fei, what will we do in the future? Will we start a war to conquer the earth..." Zhou Han's face was full of worry.
“Congratulations, you guessed right. Real Technology was founded to conquer the Earth. The first phase of the plan is to complete the development of humanoid robots, then sell the products all over the world, and then all it takes is one command…” Cheng Fei snapped his fingers.
"Shut up, I've said it before: no such things allowed." Shen Xi interrupted him without any politeness, kicking him.
"Her Majesty the Queen is a particularly hypocritical person, so we can carry out this plan in secret," the boy said to Zhou Han, deliberately lowering his voice.
"Are we really going to start a war...?" Zhou Han's round eyes lost their luster, as if they had broken down.
"Cheng Fei, if you dare to act behind my back, you'll be executed. I'm not kidding," Shen Xi said coldly.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong." The boy raised his hands in surrender.
“Well, actually we have other goals, and most of the time we won’t do anything bad, so don’t worry too much.” Nagasaki Asuna gave Zhou Han a reassuring smile.
