A new day comes, and he continues to perform his duties as the CEO of Genesis Eden Gene Editing Company. Although this is only a symbolic position, the salary is not symbolic, and it also offers him the opportunity to gain advantages by being in a favorable position.
新的一天,继续到创世伊甸园基因编辑公司的CEO岗位履行职责,虽然只是一个象征性的位置,但是薪水不是象征性的,还有就是有这个近水楼台先得月的机会.
Unlike Hunter, who previously only focused his attention on female secretaries, Lin Yuhui, who is possessing Hunter's body, starts to walk around various departments in the office. However, he soon finds that all personnel in each department of the company headquarters are merely department representatives. They are neither core business and technical backbones nor professional technical staff. It is clear that there is a barrier separating the management layer from the technical layer.
不同于之前的亨特只把注意力放在女秘书身上,附身亨特的林语晖在办公室里开始在各部门之间走动,但是他很快发现公司总部各部门的人员都是部门代表,既不是业务技术骨干,也不是具体技术人员,看来管理层与技术层之间被隔离了.
At lunchtime, Charisse still comes over as soon as she sees Hunter. Though Lin Yuhui in Hunter's body does not like her, he has no reason to fall out with her. For one thing, he can obtain some cross-departmental information from her; for another, he does not find her annoying as he has no intention of pursuing other women.
午餐时间,莎丽斯依旧会看到亨特就凑上来.虽然附身亨特的林语晖并不喜欢她,可是也没有和她翻脸的理由,一来从她那里还能获得一些跨部门的信息,二来自己也没有因为打算追求哪个其他女性而觉得她碍眼.
"It's already been a month," Charisse rolls her eyes, flutters her eyelashes, and looks at Lin Yuhui and says.
"已经一个月了," 莎丽斯翻着眼睛,忽闪着睫毛,看着林语晖说,
"What?"
"什么?"
"Hehe, you have been working here for a month. Which female secretary have you taken a fancy to?"
"呵呵,你已经在这了任职一个月了,相中哪个女秘书了?"
"Haha, no one. Don't talk nonsense."
"哈哈,没有,别乱说,"
"You're lying." Charisse changes her sitting posture, crossing her left leg over her right. The tip of her shoe accidentally touches Lin Yuhui's trouser leg under the table, then she lowers her voice and says.
"说谎,"莎丽斯换了左腿压右腿的坐姿,鞋尖在桌子底下不小心碰到了林语晖的裤腿,然后压低声音说,
"I saw you when you first came. You paid plenty of attention to those two female secretaries."
"你刚来的时候我都看到了,你没少留意那两个女秘书哦,"
"Oh, you're really observant." Lin Yuhui knows what she saw was Hunter's original behavior. This reminds him that he should act more like Hunter to be safer, because it was exactly Hunter's demeanor that got him this position.
"哦,你真细心,"林语晖知道她看到的应该是亨特本人的状态,这反倒提醒了他自己,是否应该表现得更像亨特一些,那样才会更安全,因为就是亨特那个样子才被放到这个位置上的,
Then Lin Yuhui thinks of extending the topic to try to obtain more information from Charisse.
接着林语晖又想到延伸话题从莎丽斯那里试图获取信息的方向,
"To be honest, I'm really too busy to handle all the work alone."
"说实话,我一个人真的忙不过来啊,"
"Hehe." Charisse lets out a soft chuckle, yet Lin Yuhui can sense she is fantasizing about intimate moments with other men.
"呵呵,"莎丽斯轻声一笑,但是林语晖感觉到了她联想了自己和其他男人的亲密时刻,
"What if you had split bodies?" Charisse seems to want to get a piece of him.
"那你要是有分身呢?"莎丽斯似乎也想分一杯羹,
"Then I'll leave one of them for you." Lin Yuhui replies in a deliberate soft and ambiguous tone, gently touching Charisse's calf under the table.
"那我就分你一个啊,"林语晖故意用一种轻柔暧昧的语气回答,桌子底下还触碰了一下莎丽斯的小腿,
"Hehehe." After lowering her head and laughing to herself, Charisse seems to be lost in thought.
"呵呵呵呵,"莎丽斯低头独自笑过后,似乎在思索着什么,
Lin Yuhui glances at her, does not press her, pretends it is just a casual joke, and continues eating his meal.
林语晖看了她一眼,没有追问,装作这只是一个笑谈,继续吃自己的食物,
After a moment of silence, Charisse picks up her plate and quietly sits beside Lin Yuhui.
沉默片刻,莎丽斯端起餐盘默默地坐到了林语晖这一侧,
"Actually, we have such product services available only for specially approved VIP users," Charisse whispers.
"其实我们有这样的产品服务,只面对特批的VIP用户,"莎丽斯低声说,
"Oh, a secret society."
"哦,秘密社团,"
"Yes."
"是的,"
"Don't they need redundant equipment?"
"他们不需要冗余设备吗?"
Hearing this, Charisse stops using her knife and fork and turns to look at Lin Yuhui.
闻听此言,莎丽斯停住了刀叉,扭头望向林语晖,
Lin Yuhui meets her gaze with a faint smile on his lips.
林语晖看了她一眼,嘴角轻飘一笑,
"Relax. I don't expect you to do anything irregular for me."
"别紧张,我没有期望你为我做什么违规的事情,"
"Oh."
"哦,"
The rest of the lunch between Charisse and Lin Yuhui is very calm. She no longer expresses any thoughts to him, which is perhaps exactly what Lin Yuhui wants.
莎丽斯与林语晖的午餐之后平静了许多,她再也没向林语晖表达什么,也许这就是林语晖想要的吧.
The winter sunshine of the desert afternoon warms his body. Lin Yuhui takes a walk in the small park under the company building for a while, then sits on a bench for a noon nap to relieve the fatigue from morning exercise with Grace.
沙漠里午后的冬日阳光照在身上暖洋洋的,林语晖在公司大楼下的小公园里散步片刻,然后找了一个长椅,睡了个午觉,休息一下与格蕾丝晨练的疲劳.
Unexpectedly, the moment he stands up from the bench after the short rest, Hunter's body reminds Lin Yuhui again of its extraordinary vitality. The results of the genetic test he took out of curiosity before should also be available now.
没想到小憩之后从长椅上坐起来那一刻,亨特的身体又提醒了林语晖,这副身体真的是精力充沛,自己之前好奇所做的基因检测也应该出结果了.
Back in the office, he checks the several samples he submitted. Sure enough, Hunter's genes have been modified, and genetic modification traces can be found on both his paternal and maternal sides. No wonder he has such abundant energy. Moreover, according to the genetic identification results, Hunter seems not to be his father's biological son. It is uncertain whether embryonic gene editing is the cause, but Lin Yuhui does not care about his family's trivial matters at all.
回到办公室,查询了自己递交的几个样本,果然亨特的基因是改造过的,并且来自父母双方都有改造的痕迹,怪不得精力这么充沛,只是亨特这小子从基因鉴定结果来看似乎不是他爹亲生的,也不确定是否存在胚胎基因编辑因素影响的结果,反正林语晖也不关心他们家的破事.
"Mr. Jaden."
"杰登先生,"
"No, no, no. Don't call me Jaden. That name reminds me of my elder brother. Call me Hunter, use my name."
"不不不,不要叫我杰登,这样会让我想起我的哥哥,叫我亨特,叫我的名字,"
"Yes, Mr. Hunter. Investors and important clients will visit our laboratory this afternoon, and you need to accompany them."
"是,亨特先生,下午投资方和重要客户要访问我们的实验室,需要你陪同,"
Lin Yuhui is quite displeased. He has already told his secretaries not to address him by his surname, unwilling to associate himself with that unlucky dead man. However, Willa seems rather foolish, and he wonders how she got this position.
林语晖不太高兴,他之前说过他的秘书不要叫他的姓氏,他不想把自己和那个死掉的倒霉蛋联系到一起.但是这个薇拉似乎有些笨,真不知道她是怎么到这个职位上的,
"When are we leaving? Do I walk there to accompany them? Do I have to go alone?" Lin Yuhui asks a series of questions in a bad tone, leaving the young female secretary stunned.
"什么时候启程啊?我走过去陪同吗?就我自己去陪同吗?"林语晖没好气地一连串发问,把那个年轻女秘书问住了,
Lin Yuhui then takes a closer look at her: a white girl from New Jersey with blonde hair and pale blue eyes. The thought of her being an empty-headed blonde crosses his mind, though he does not voice the disparaging thought.
林语晖这才留意看了她一眼,金发,淡蓝色的眼睛,新泽西白人女孩,无脑的金发女郎,这个念头在心中一闪而过,当然不好说出来贬损人家,
"My apologies, Mr. Hunter. I will find out the details immediately."
"抱歉亨特先生,我这就去弄清楚,"
For a moment, Lin Yuhui senses a trace of confusion in her mind. She recalls the first time she met Hunter in the meeting room, when Hunter had no other behaviors but leered at her greedily.
一瞬间,林语晖似乎感到她脑海中一丝疑惑,她想起了最开始见到亨特的时候,在会议室,那时候的亨特什么问题也没有,只是色眯眯地盯着自己看.
"It's fine. I'll wait for you. Go sort it out." Lin Yuhui does not want to make things difficult for her, so he softens his tone.
"好的,没关系,我等你,去搞清楚吧,"林语晖也不想难为她,口气也就软了下来,
After getting in the car heading for the company's R&D center, Lin Yuhui finds himself sitting alone in the vehicle, with no relevant documents prepared by the secretary at all. He cannot help wondering what exactly he is supposed to accompany the guests to do.
坐上前往公司研发中心的车,林语晖才发现只有自己坐在车里,什么其它资料秘书也没给他准备,叫自己去陪同个什么呢?
Dissatisfaction rises in Lin Yuhui again. Who is the leader here, and who arranges work for whom? He immediately picks up the car phone and calls his secretary.
林语晖不满的情绪又上来了,这到底谁是谁的领导啊?到底是谁给谁安排工作啊?他立刻拿起车里的电话打给自己的秘书,
"Willa, come downstairs at once and go there with me in the car."
"薇拉你现在立刻下楼,和我一起乘车前往,"
On the way, Lin Yuhui tells Willa to look up the background and business scope of the investors as well as the visiting clients' business backgrounds and visiting interests. He also reviews relevant professional technologies, the company's business structure and staff information. Finally, he successfully fulfills his duties, accompanying the visitors and leaving them satisfied with the tour.
一路上林语晖安排薇拉查询了投资方背景和业务,前来拜访的客户业务背景和参观兴趣所在,林语晖又补习了相关技术内容和本公司业务架构和人员情况,然后总算顺利地履行了他的职责,陪同了访客并让他们满意地结束了访问.
On his way home after work, Lin Yuhui thinks again of the system that allows one's consciousness to be shared among multiple cloned avatars. To be honest, it is exactly what he wants. With this system, he will no longer fear being assassinated.
下班回家的路上,林语晖又想起了那个可以把自己的意识共享于多个克隆分身的系统,说实话那是他想要的,有了那个系统就不怕自己被暗杀了.
This system also has other applications. For example, he can match each cloned avatar with a partner and experience dating multiple women at the same time. It is a technology that everyone, regardless of gender, dreams of possessing.
当然它也可以有其他方面的应用,比如说那样就可以给每一个分身都找一个伴侣,自己可以体验同时与多名女性交往的感受,这真是每个人都梦寐以求的技术啊,不论男女.
Moreover, each woman can exclusively enjoy one of his clones, eliminating the risk of sexually transmitted diseases caused by having multiple sexual partners. His physical cleanliness obsession is thus completely cured.
而且每个女性可以专享自己的一个克隆体,也不会造成多性伴侣的性病传染风险了,这一下子自己的身体洁癖都治好了.
What if a woman is unfaithful and gets together with another man? Let her be. He still has many other women. His emotional cleanliness obsession is cured without treatment.
要是女性不忠诚,还有别的男人呢?管她呢,我还有很多女人呢,呵呵,这下子感情洁癖也不治自愈了,哈哈哈.
If this technology is popularized for everyone, how many people will still value loyalty and exclusivity? Furthermore, using my clones to satisfy women who desire me completely relieves me of personal moral pressure, for it is what they want.
如果这个技术普及到每个人,真的到了那个时候,还会有几个人还会在乎什么忠诚,专一,这些特质?并且我用我的分身满足想要得到我的女人,这也完美卸载了我本人的道德压力,是她们想要的啊.
He cannot help but wonder whether ancient prehistoric civilizations such as Atlantis declined morally in this exact way.
哎呀,过去的史前文明,比如亚特兰蒂斯,是不是就是这样走向道德陨落的呢?
Lost in the speculation of future developments, he arrives home before he knows it. Getting out of the car, he looks up at the bedroom balcony. Grace is not there, with only the russet sunset glow reflecting on the large French windows. Several stars twinkle in the dark blue sky, and Lin Yuhui's thoughts drift to Liana once again.
呵呵,畅想着未来的推演,不知不觉已经到家了,林语晖下车仰望卧室阳台,格蕾丝并没有在上面,只有棕红色的晚霞映照在落地窗的大玻璃上.暗蓝的天空里已经可见几点繁星,林语晖不由得又想到了莉安娜.
