Chapter 1041: Human Resources Department

“Wait a minute, what kind of goods are you producing?”

When they passed the customer service department, E-Goat could already feel that something wasn’t quite right. However, when he saw the excessive number of servers below, the feeling only became even stronger. It wasn’t until Qiu Ming introduced it to the design department (no matter how slow E-Goat’s reaction was) that he finally guessed what kind of goods Morgan produced.

“Clones? Is this place your clone production base?”

To E-Goat’s surprise, Qiu Ming shook his head.

“No, it’s not.”

“If it’s not a clone production facility, then what is it? Could it be a large-scale live-action online game?”

Qiu Ming didn’t say anything. Instead, he swiped his card and entered the design department.

Unlike the previous two places, the department had a different style. The first thing they could sense when they entered was silence. Probably to serve creators, it was designed as a glass room, able to automatically adjust the opacity of the glass until it was completely invisible from the outside. In addition, special soundproof glass was used. Even if the noise levels hit 100 decibels, it could not be heard from the inside.

In addition, the E-Goat also saw a few playwriters looking for inspiration. They pulled out a video of a block from the server before carefully looking at the lives of everyone inside. “Try to filter out any usable material.”

E-Goat even saw a huge video room on the other side of the corridor. There were thousands of screens playing the living conditions of all the residents in the neighborhood.

“Such level of video surveillance definitely illegal, right?” E-Goat’s expression changed slightly.

“No, it’s not against the law,” Qiu Ming rebuked. “Everyone in the video has been recorded voluntarily. They have all signed an agreement of voluntary information collection.”

“How could there be such a thing? I’ve never heard of it.”

“There are many things you’ve never heard of,” Qiu Ming said. “However, they’re all real.”

“I know that Morgan is producing and selling clones. It’s no secret.” E-Goat forced himself to remain calm. “I’ve just never seen the production process… So, is that how their memories are written?”

“No, their main memories are written according to the needs of their customers. What they’re doing now is just integrating them into society as perfectly as possible without self-awareness and other people in society. After that, they’ll have to conduct a consistency test to ensure that their life experiences don’t conflict with others in the same living area.”

“Is it really that troublesome to write a clone’s memory?” E-Goat asked. “I’ve heard that most clones directly use a fixed template. In any case, if there’s a problem, we just need to rewrite it.”

“Well, the situation you mentioned does exist, but it’s usually handled by the Shengtang Morgan Tower outside.”

“Then, are you producing types two clones here, like Xu Qian, for instance, who doesn’t have a locator or a code on the back of her neck and looks just like an ordinary human?”

“According to your understanding,” Qiu Ming nodded.

E-Goat was a bit anxious. “Are you doing this deliberately? You brought us to visit each department. We don’t care about your production of clones. We just want to take Xu Qian away as soon as possible!”

“I’m just trying to help you understand the situation you’re in before you meet Xu Qian. I’m not lying. This is indeed the fastest and safest way to meet Xu Qian. You just need to be a little patient.”

As Qiu Ming spoke, he led Zhang Heng and E-Goat through the glass cubicles, either bright or dark. He then pointed to a gray door. “This is the quality inspection department, but since we’re in a hurry, we won’t go in. You should be able to guess what’s inside anyway. In short, it’s a test of the product’s personality, skills, and emotional fluctuations.”

“To be honest, I think you guys are jerks. There’s not much difference between a clone and an ordinary person, right? It’s just that one is born from a machine incubator, and the other from natural birth. We all have the same physical and DNA structure,” E-Goat said, “But you treat the former as a pure commodity and tamper with their memories wantonly.”

“Well said, but I have to correct one point. We have never forced anyone to do anything,” Qiu Ming spread his hands.

The three of them had unknowingly approached the transparent tunnel they had seen before. After passing through two doors and an escalator, without Qiu Ming’s introduction, E-Goat had already seen the sign in the distance.

It read: Human Resources Department.

E-Goat couldn’t help but start to worry again. They had already passed through many departments and seen many employees working here. However, other than the trouble they had encountered with the twins at the front desk, the work ID on their chests hadn’t been exposed yet.

Everyone who worked there seemed to be quite busy. They didn’t seem to have the time to care about other people, let alone other departments. However, the human resources department was definitely the department that knew its employees best in any company.

If Zhang Heng and E-Goat were to have entered recklessly, they might be recognized as not being employees here. However, Qiu Ming didn’t seem nervous at all. “Don’t worry. The human resources department manages the existing employees on the ninth floor. This place is mainly responsible for recruiting new employees.”

“Recruiting new employees?” E-Goat initially thought that Qiu Ming’s so-called recruitment of new employees was just a small-scale job fair, but when he walked in, he was shocked.

There were at least five to six hundred people sitting in the waiting room, and there were actually as many as twenty of such waiting rooms. In other words, more than 20,000 applicants had already come for the interview today.

“How many vacancies are there in your company?” E-Goat asked Qiu Ming.

“That depends on which department. Previously, the departments you saw were all recruiting very few people, mainly because there were very few internal changes. Still, there has been a department that has been very short of manpower.”

“What department?”

“The city residents department,” Qiu Ming said leisurely. “The job seekers you’ve seen are all applicants who have applied to settle down here in New Shanghai 0297. Of course, when they start their jobs, they have to sign a corresponding labor contract. There are all kinds of rights and obligations, but the most important point is that they have to be willing to accept memory rewriting. The main reason is to improve their professional skills according to the requirements of the companies, as well as to improve their personalities and erase their original memories. The reason for the latter is that research has shown that only people who truly believe they are city dwellers can be more productive.”

“What the hell are you talking about? Are you out of your mind?!”

E-Goat’s eyes bulged in horror.
