Chapter 323 The Gear of Destiny(1/2)
In the downtown of West University, Philadelphia, Richard, who was busy welding a steel bar, was suddenly notified to the foreman to ask him to go to the office.
Richard could only put down his tools and was too lazy to change his clothes, so he rushed directly into the container next to the construction site.
Yes, even at Xi’an University, the office is very simple. The so-called on-site office is replaced by a few containers.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the foreman's breathless voice!
"Richard, tell you a great news, you were actually selected! God, when I was reporting you, I didn't expect you to be so lucky!
Do you know? I always thought that there should be several places in the United States, but who knew that there was only you! I think everyone can call you the lucky Richard in the future!"
"Lucky Richard?" Richard John couldn't even react at the first time.
He asked subconsciously: "What have I been selected?
After all, it has been more than half a year since the company headquarters opened the application channel for lunar travel.
After Richard John announced the good news at home for dinner, he had just applied for the first three months, and Thomas would ask about the results every now and then.
At that time, the whole family was still very concerned about the result of this matter.
But as time goes by, there has been no news, and even Thomas, who is most concerned about this matter, no longer cares about it.
People are often like this. After they are reluctant to get news, they will be freed from their original expectations of gains and losses for a certain thing, become hopeless, or even gradually forget.
When good news suddenly comes, I can't even remember it anymore.
"Did you forget? A family's free tour of China! There is also the highly anticipated opportunity for a seven-day tour of the moon. Your family was selected!" said the foreman excitedly.
"This is a global selection within the headquarters. You were selected as the first group to go to the moon! Do you know how much attention the moon base is now? You are going to become famous, Richard!"
Richard John finally reacted at this time.
He was really selected?!
The big pie finally hit him on the head?!
This is probably because diligent people will be rewarded, right?
At this moment, Richard John just wanted to call and share the good news with everyone in his family.
He even planned to see how to use this holiday well.
"By the way, you should also clean up. You should remember? When you filled out the application form, you signed a cooperation agreement.
This lunar trip to ordinary people is also a popular science publicity. As the first ordinary person who is fortunate to land on the moon, you and your family need to cooperate with the General Office to do a good job in publicity.
So there is a team that will follow you to shoot a series of promotional videos. You don’t need to worry about the work in the future, just cooperate with the shooting work.
Of course, the shooting team will definitely take some shots of your usual work. Then, let’s go through the motions. The director may also ask you some questions, probably just tell the truth about our answers when we hold a life meeting!
In short, from today on your lunar voyage spacecraft, this shooting team will continue to follow your family to conduct various shooting materials.
Although their team cannot get on the moon voyage spacecraft, there are cameras everywhere on the spacecraft, and it will also broadcast the entire trip on your journey. You have no problem with this, right?"
The foreman asked again seriously.
In fact, these details have been explained in detail at the survey meeting before filling out the application form.
But at that time, many people actually thought they could be selected, so it didn't matter.
Now there are strangers going to take pictures at home. For many people who pay attention to privacy, they may not be able to get used to it.
Fortunately, Richard John's family is not listed here.
For Richard John, his life was open and unrestrained, and nothing could be photographed.
Moreover, compared to the small things like shooting teams who can take their family to China with paid travel, the company also reimburses all the expenses, and can take his eldest son to see the moon base with his own eyes. Not to mention that this is promoting the moon base for the whole world. It is to realize their common ideals.
Let more people focus on developing alien planets, make the cake of human civilization bigger, and let more people live a good life! This is not only the pursuit of Chinese people, but also his pursuit now!
Things that are of great benefit to oneself and one's own business are tolerant even if there is a little inconvenience.
Not to mention that the shooting team is just going to home to follow the filming for a while. After this vacation is over, life will return to peace.
Even their family can become household names in TV.
To be honest, being famous is still very attractive to people who are not famous.
It can be said that everyone is vanity. More or less, it is just controllable.
"Will the shooting team arrive today?"
"Yes, they are already on the way. You might as well wait here for a while. I have someone take over your job.
The person above said that your paid cooperation shooting starts today. At the same time, because shooting may cause some trouble to your family, you will be charged double salary from today to the end of the documentary shooting."
This was another unexpected surprise, which made Richard John feel embarrassed.
"This————Is it great to take paid leave, and I'm even double the salary? Isn't it necessary?"
"Haha, this is all small money! Since the company is willing to give it to you, please take it openly. By the way, there is still news. After your family arrives in China, you may have the opportunity to meet Academician Qiao Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Moon.
If Qiao Yuyuantu asks about the situation of the group company, just say a few more good things! Let me tell you,
How much does it cost to do infrastructure here?
If the group company can get orders for the lunar infrastructure in the future, it will be a huge profit! On the one hand, it can make money, and on the other hand, it can also promote the technological upgrade of the entire group.
Now, as long as the infrastructure companies with some strength in China are all focused on future moon projects! Do you understand?"
Richard John nodded quickly.
It turns out that there is another meaning in it.
But these words also made him even more excited.
If Thomas knew that he would be received by Academician Qiao Yu in person when he went to China this time, he would be so happy that he would be crazy!
You should know that in their class, Qiao Yu can be said to be the idol that these children admire the most, no doubt about it.
Although this is definitely inseparable from the teacher's usual guidance, parents of children who can enter the innovation class will definitely not mind these things.
After all, Qiao Yu's achievements over the years are there. The youngest Fields Medal winner, in his twenties, became one of the most discourse people in the scientific world.
Especially recently, on TikTok, Qiao Yu has invented another mathematical research method, which has made many difficult problems that plague the mathematics community simple. To be honest, Richard John cannot understand mathematics, and even cannot recognize those strange symbols.
But people always feel unaware of things that they cannot understand at all. Richard John is not immune to the vulgarity. What’s more important is that he already has a filter for saving the world.
In a sense, it can be said that their family can live the current life, which is all thanks to Joyu.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Qiao Yu's persistence and living up to expectations and successfully allowing the peace-loving China to master the Tiandun system that shocked the world, his country would not have opened up the infrastructure market to China so happily.
Even both sides may still be in a state of hostility as before!
In that case, Pennsylvania will still be the half-dead rust belt, and Philadelphia will be completely unrestrained. People here can only live like walking corpses with meager subsidies, and they cannot work in a company in China. They have no ability to resist risks in their lives. Perhaps a not-so-big illness can separate his wife and children and live on the streets from then on.
Of course, there may be even worse situations. Perhaps a war will occur and then the Siddh will be sadly discovered. The things they were originally proud of were directly defeated, and the blow that might be even greater.
These no longer exist now!
The entire northern hemisphere is under the protection of China.
"Then I'll wait for the crew to come."
Just like that, the two of them sat in the office and chatted casually.
For Richard, this is also a benefit. Although the container office is a little simpler, after all, Philadelphia has started to get warmer in June, especially in summers, which are getting hotter and hotter, often reaching over thirty degrees.
Moreover, the somatosensory temperature on the construction site is often higher than the actual temperature, so it is already a blessing to have an air conditioner blowing.
The two chatted casually, but most of the time it was actually the foreman talking.
Richard could see that the foreman envied him for being shot, which made him happier.
After all, who doesn’t want to be the one that everyone admires?
Of course, Richard probably wouldn't know in his life that he agreed to the family to take a photo and take a documentary, or take his eldest son to the moon, and the foreman opposite him would get a considerable bonus.
If he performs well, the foreman will get the bonus that he may receive more than all the expenses for his family to go to China.
This is probably because lies never hurt people, the truth is the true portrayal of Kuaishou.
Fortunately, the crew did not make the foreman talk for too long. Richard John only waited for more than ten minutes in the office.
He drove into the construction site with two cars, one big and one small, from the entire crew.
Then today Richard John met a big man whom he could not imagine—Michael Roddy.
Richard once met the director at the Hollywood awards ceremony.
The director has won the Hollywood Documentary Award, and it has been three times.
Moreover, most of the content he filmed was about exposing various social injustice and political farces in the Great Western Conference.
So it is very popular with ordinary people like him who once had a bad life.
Really, Richard John didn't expect that the Chinese group company would invite such a Hollywood big shot to film his family life.
"Mr. Roddy, can you sign me? Really, our family is your fans! Our family loves the film "Columbine's Bowling"!"
"Haha, of course Richard, but let's talk about work first! After completing this work, you can do as many signatures as you want!"
"Of course, do you need me to do something?"
To be continued...
