Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 495th floor C area, the outer wall is gray and green, and the activity center is covered with all kinds of graffiti. Six or seven girls walked in with excited, expectant or nervous expressions.

　　 Their clothes are simple in style and monotonous in color. They are mainly blue, black, white, and green, but they are all exquisite and youthful.

　　 glanced at the only LCD screen on the entire floor, the girl in the lead couldn't help but whispered:

　　 "I don't know what kind of husband the company will assign me?"

　　 "It's mainly about the character." Next to her, the girl in a green shirt and blue trousers bit her lower lip.

　　 As the second generation of the popularization of genetically modified drugs, they are not worried about the looks and height of their future husbands, anyway, they are all above the standard.

The girl led by 　　 glanced at her companion:

　　 "You forgot, in addition to people of our age, there are also those whose wives have passed away. Some of them are in their 40s or 50s. They have not undergone genetic modification at the embryonic stage and have many defects."

In order to ensure that there are enough newborns, the company they belong to stipulates: "Anyone who is 20 years old or graduated from a higher education and who has not married freely will be arranged by the company for a unified spouse. Those who do not accept it will be punished by the Order Supervision Department. In the first violation, the energy ration was reduced, and the corresponding contribution points were deducted. In the second violation, the company was banished from the company and survived in the dust."

　　 Similarly, those who are widowed and have not raised any offspring will be compulsory to participate in the unified distribution after three years of 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: one is D-level employees, from D1 to D9; the other is 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 the "big boss", an unusually mysterious lady.

　　 The girl in a green shirt and blue trousers poked her mouth and said:

　　 "When have you heard that people on ordinary floors are assigned to spouses on floors 346, 347, 348, and 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 have contact with ordinary employees under normal circumstances.

　　 The only exception is the higher education stage, because the entire company has only one university on the 350th floor.

　　 The children of ordinary employees need examinations to decide whether to start work or enter the university, while the children of management can be exempted from the exam for higher education.

　　 Within the company, no one does not want to be the management, and no one does not want to get in touch with the management.

As for the "big boss", ordinary employees don’t even know what this person looks like. Only at the end of the year, at the beginning of the year, or when a major event occurs, can they hear her through the radio. Few people dream of being appreciated by the "big boss" and jump to the management level.

　　 Of course, it is rarely said that there are still, but not much.

　　 The leading girl smiled upon hearing this:

　　 "So I always let you fall in love freely in school. Look at Chen Bei. My husband was ordered by the ‘Material Management Department’ as soon as he graduated. There must be a background in the family!"

　　 "Meng Xia, are you embarrassed to say? Why are you not free to fall in love?" the other girls mocked at the same time.

　　 "Aren't you ignorant of me? What I am best at is talking about it." Meng Xia admitted that she didn't have that courage at all.

　　 laughed about this for a while, and the girl in a green shirt and blue trousers asked curiously:

　　 "Meng Xia, do you know the level of Chen Bei's husband's family? You have always been very familiar."

　　 Meng Xia glanced around, lowered her voice and said:

　　 "Said it is the Director of Operations Cluster of the Ministry of Security."

　　 "Wow..." When the girls exclaimed, a group of young men walked in at the gate of the activity center.

　　 The two groups looked at each other for a few seconds, and each turned away a little shyly. After all, no one can tell if their future husband (wife) is opposite.

　　 A man who was almost 1.75 meters tall and kept a refreshing plank glanced at the old tables in the activity center and the benches and chairs around the tables, and said to his companions a little nervously:

　　 "Shang Jian Yao, what kind of wife will the company assign to me?"

　　 His companion is about 1.85 meters, with straight eyebrows, bright brown eyes, deep lines on his face, and his black hair is slightly messy, covering half of his forehead.

　　 The young man named Shang Jianyao glanced sideways at his companion and said:

　　 "First of all, you have to allocate it before you can talk about what it is like."

　　 He was wearing a dark blue two-piece suit, his arm muscles bulged, and some lines were drawn by the fabric, which looked masculine and powerful.

　　 "Ha, isn't that bad luck? This time there are only two more men than women." The man with a height of 1.75 meters and relatively ordinary facial features smiled.

　　His expression gradually settled, and he muttered:

　　 "Will they look down on me? I have been genetically modified and only 1.75 meters long, they are not handsome, and their grades in all subjects are only medium..."

　　 Shang Jian Yao said with a serious expression:

　　 "This is not the key, the key is your name."

"Name? What's wrong with the name Long Yuehong? My dad's surname is Long, and my mother's name has a red letter in it. How meaningful." Long Yuehong said to herself in confusion, "Yes, the company will not look at my height if it is uniformly distributed. How much, what it looks like, is said to be random excluding blood relationship... Ah, will they treat me as a woman because of the name and assign me a husband? What can I do?"

　　 Shang Jian Yao looked at Long Yuehong up and down and said:

　　 "Biological organ transplantation, nerve reconstruction, artificial uterus, perfect solution to the problem."

　　 Long Yuehong smiled twice:

　　 "Haha, how is it possible? I mean how could they make a mistake, every piece of my information is written as male!

　　 "Your thinking is so strange, shouldn't normal people think about appealing?"

　　 Without waiting for Shang Jian Yao to respond, he said again:

　　 "So, why is my name the key?"

　　 "A name represents a person's destiny, and random assignment means fate." Shang Jianyao replied solemnly.

　　 Long Yuehong's expression freezes for two seconds and said:

　　 "I knew you couldn't give any constructive ideas!"

　　 As soon as the voice fell, he turned to ask:

　　 "Shang Jian Yao, what kind of wife do you want to assign?"

　　 Shang Jian Yao raised his chin and said:

"I do not need.

　　 "The company's resources are insufficient, and the humans above the dust are in dire straits. The shadows of famine, infection, distortion, and beastization still loom over the entire world. How can I get married?"

　　 "..." Long Yuehong said "Ha", "You are getting more and more joking."

　　 Shang Jian Yao looked at him and said without a smile:

　　 "I have applied for abandoning 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, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

　　 Just after he finished speaking, Chen Xianyu, the director of the 495th floor activity center, left his position, walked to the LCD screen, and started debugging.

This gray-haired, slightly staggered old man used to be an employee under the Ministry of Security and responsible for external operations. He has been at the D7 group leader level. Later, due to age issues, he left the Ministry of Security and was promoted to a level of D8. The manager is responsible for the activity center on this floor.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong are very curious about this old grandfather’s past experience. They have always liked to come to the activity center and ask questions, but Chen Xianyu strictly abides by the confidentiality regulations, just picking up some knowledge that everyone knows. It's like an ordinary employee who was born, grew up, read, worked, grew up, and grew old in the "inner ecological zone". He has never been out of an underground building in his entire life and has seen the real sky.

　　 "Okay, it's going to start." Chen Xianyu held a remote control board and pressed it hard.

　　 The display screen flickered a few times and shimmered.

　　Long Yuehong, Meng Xia and others immediately held their breath, waiting for the results of the distribution to come out.

　　They are not worried that the items will scroll too fast, making them unclear, because the activity center of each floor only displays the part of the results related to the residents of the floor.
