Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 245 Who adjusted all of this?
1 month 13 day.

Zhai Da didn't leave the School of Materials Science and Engineering until 8 o'clock, having completed a course that wasn't supposed to be for first-year students but which he had finished ahead of schedule.

I checked the date on my phone; there are only two days left until the holiday. I have one more open-book exam tomorrow, and then this semester will be completely over.

Zhai Da was very satisfied with his first semester of university, and gained a lot.

Since my rebirth, I have experienced many things and met many people.

They realized that the world was far more than just the lively alleyways of Dongyang and the towering skyscrapers of Shanghai.

There are also giants that shine like stars, roaring engineering behemoths, a glittering entertainment industry, and those who get rich first by putting their knowledge into practice.

However, he still consciously maintains his student status, often reflecting on himself and drawing his energy and time back to campus to ensure the normal development of his studies, rather than being eager to escape the high walls.

Perhaps the world hasn't changed compared to his past life; what has changed is himself. The lucky guy who used to drive a Maybach and wear Vacheron Constantin watches, now gradually sheds his superficiality and becomes more grounded and reserved.

I am truly a low-key and pragmatic reborn person.

Zhai Da thought to himself.

"Didi".

Several girls who were taking pictures immediately ran away. One of them had just unzipped her down jacket, revealing her good figure and preparing to pose. She hadn't even had time to zip it up.

Zhai Da smiled kindly, indicating that there was no need to rush, as dribbling like that could be harmful.

"Sorry, I have to go now. We'll film next time."

Paramela remained silent, but continued to enrich the students' "Campus Network" and "QQ Space".

Zhai Da mounted the Black Knight and, amidst the stunned gazes of his classmates, roared away into the distance.

"Is that a great writer?"

"Otherwise, I heard on the school forum that there's only one of these cars in the whole of Harbin."

Lu Wei didn't have an exam today and was peacefully playing math games at home, while Zhai Da had an important matter to attend tonight: the annual meeting of "Yue Da Catering".

He'll be returning to Dongyang soon, and the company is about to enter the Spring Festival period, so he'd better get things done while everyone's still here.

The car drove out of Harbin Institute of Technology, first picking up Wu Yue at Shenzhou Zun Di, and then setting off again.

We didn't drive too far, just a few minutes, and arrived at the annual meeting venue on the side of the campus, called "Jufu Restaurant".

This is a three-story structure. The private rooms on the second and third floors are U-shaped and open-plan, allowing you to see down below. The first-floor seating area has been completely enclosed, with several large round tables placed there. The small reception table, which is not often used, has also been cleared out and hung with a colorful banner that reads "Yueda Catering Annual Meeting".

Their own craft beer barrels were stacked up to form a wall, and two bottles of "Shezhidao" were placed on each table.

Given the company's profitability, this location and this wine seem rather "low-key".

It wasn't that Zhai Da and Wu Yue didn't have the money to hold an annual meeting, but rather that they had different views. They felt that it was far more practical to distribute the money directly to everyone than to spend a lot of money on an annual meeting with all that empty talk.

The elaborate and extravagant annual party is often just a way to satisfy the boss's vanity.

Yueda Catering worked overtime today to complete all delivery tasks. Everyone was present, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Even ordinary diners passing by can feel the vibrant energy here.

The fifty men were almost all young men, but not the skinny, energetic type; rather, they were robust young men.

Many people have muscles when they take off their coats; they've built them up by carrying barrels of liquor and malt every day.

These people all had joy, enthusiasm, and even excitement in their eyes.

Some guests had already come in, but seeing this, they chose to go out again.
During casual conversations, you might occasionally overhear someone say, "This company is amazing. That blond guy only worked for a month and he's already making this much money because he's been working so hard."

One person made a gesture under the table.

"The child was overjoyed. His father has a chronic illness, and the family was almost starving. He was so happy that his life was saved. He cried his eyes out in the corner last night."

The main character they were talking about, a young man called "Yellow Hair," was actually sitting opposite them, looking shy with his head down, letting the "senior" make fun of him.

Actually, it was all well-intentioned. The person who made fun of him had taken good care of him in the past, and bringing it up was also to hope that others would be more tolerant of this most foolish and naive young man.

A bystander was taken aback and said, "Didn't Brother Yue say that if a brother has difficulties at home, he can report it to the company, get an advance on his salary, or borrow money for medical treatment?"

"He's shy, and he hasn't been here long, so he's probably embarrassed. He probably doesn't really believe it either. The company is too open, but those who have suffered seem to be listening to stories, worried that if they find out they have a sick family member, they'll be fired immediately." This isn't a joke; Huang Mao has actually experienced something like this.

"Peng Hao, you'd better dye your hair black for the New Year! I've told you so many times, it's making you look like a gangster. People like us with such dark hair should get a buzz cut, it looks more energetic!"

The shy young man quickly nodded.

At this moment, another person came over. He was probably a little hot from moving the barrels, and he was only wearing a thermal undershirt, which clearly outlined his firm muscles.

He lowered his voice and said, "I have something to tell you. Recently, some people have started asking about us. Several brothers have been stopped by strangers who asked them all sorts of questions. Keep your eyes open and don't let them trick you into telling you anything. Also, be careful of any suspicious people near the base. This is what Brother Yang told us."

Upon hearing this, the people at the table immediately frowned, revealing a serious atmosphere: "Damn, is someone trying to steal our thunder?"

"Where isn't there dirt? There are always people eyeing this opportunity to make money, and so many are envious!"

The shy, blond-haired man at the end of the table immediately stood up and said fiercely with a Guizhou accent, "Let's see who dares to court death!"

Then he was immediately pushed down: "How can you be so reckless! We're a legitimate company, do you think you're some kind of gangster? Even your brothers Da and Yue wouldn't allow it!"

Don't be fooled by the fact that they're all strong, muscular men with buzz cuts; it's purely due to their profession.

It's either manual labor or skilled work, so why would you hire a bunch of young girls?

My company is as legitimate as it gets. It provides social insurance for its employees, pays overtime, strictly abides by food safety laws, does not disturb the peace or cause trouble, and pays taxes in full. It is more legal than anyone else!

In older neighborhoods, if any elderly person has something heavy they can't move, they can just come over and ask for help.

A while ago, when there was heavy snow, the company organized everyone to shovel snow in the old residential area to prevent the elderly from slipping and falling.

He's practically the "beacon of righteousness" in the company!
Of course, if anyone tries to block the light of this "righteous path"...
The oldest man, in his early thirties, said in a deep voice, "We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. Don't let Brother Da and Brother Yue worry about certain things."

"That makes sense. Brother Da is a public figure, we can't cause him any trouble."

We mustn't let ourselves be tainted by the ways of the world!

Just then, someone ran in from outside the gate: "Brother Da's car is here, stand still!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up excitedly, and fifty men formed two human walls in the lobby, standing ramrod straight.

A few minutes later, Zhai Da and Wu Yue walked in together and saw this scene.

What's this? Is this part of the program for the company's annual party?
Before I could ask, I heard fifty men shout in unison:
"Hello, Brother Da!"

Immediately following the second sound:
"Hello, Brother Yue!"

The sound was so loud that it shocked the entire restaurant, and countless diners upstairs were stunned.

That wasn't all. After the shout, 50 people started clapping, as if they wouldn't stop until the two people passed through the human wall.

Zhai Da looked at Wu Yue and asked with his eyes, "Did you prepare this chicken neck?"

Wu Yue responded with his eyes: "I'll give you the whole chicken neck!"

Who the hell adjusted this?

The "hunter" precisely locked onto Qin Yang in the crowd; this perfectly synchronized formation was clearly his doing!
The clapping is done in six-beat intervals!

Qin Yang, his face flushed, didn't say anything, but just kept clapping.

Sometimes it's a matter of loyalty demanded, sometimes it's loyalty spontaneous.

The latter might be harder to refuse; who can resist wearing a coat on a cold day?
Zhai Da pursed his lips. The thing he feared most had still happened.
It is clearly a legitimate and socially responsible company, but it is only because of the special nature of its industry, the fact that its staff is all male, and its generous compensation plan that it is being exploited.

In the end, it turned out like this.

Damn it! Rectification is necessary! It absolutely must be rectified!

Unbeknownst to him, this entire scene was witnessed by some spectators upstairs.
Inside the second-floor railing, Ge Shang, Shen Zixuan, and a group of other students from the Materials Science and Engineering Class 1 stared wide-eyed and gaped in astonishment.

The chin is several miles away from the upper chin.

"what!?"

What does "Da Ge" mean?
