Chapter 2546: Xiao Xiao Down (Part 4)

Chapter 2520: Down the Road (IV)

The new campus is far from the old campus. To be more precise, the new campus is relatively remote from the main urban area. It takes more than an hour to drive there. In order to avoid further strain on the school's already insufficient funds, these few trips were basically transported by trucks, and people sat in the truck compartments along with the furniture being transported.

Fortunately, they moved a few office chairs this time, and after they were fixed, they could sit on them, so they would not be dizzy.

There were many professors and students in the same car with them. Schiller, Victor, and Anna squeezed in a corner.

"It's hard to imagine that one day we will ride in a car in this posture." Victor sat on a cushion and said with a smile: "Especially you, Professor Schiller, I reminded you that it's best to wear sportswear today."

Among the three, only Schiller was still wearing his suit, but Schiller retorted confidently: "I didn't even wear a vest or suspenders today. I think my shirt is wrinkled like the surface of the earth."

Both laughed, and then they started talking about the economic situation of the people around them. As expected, everyone's situation is not very good, and this range even includes the rich people we have known in the past.

"The Wayne Group's capital chain has problems." Anna sighed and said, "When I was a data consultant for them before, I found that their capital chain itself was precarious and their ability to resist risks was very poor. They invested too much in the Gotham building renovation project in the early stage, resulting in the fact that they have not yet fully recovered."

"Is their capital chain broken?"

"If no new blood is injected, I'm afraid it will be." Anna shook her head and said, "But this is not surprising. Although he is still richer than us, such a large group must be hit much harder than ordinary people in the economic crisis."

"I guess he has measures. Batman always has measures." Victor thought for a while and said, "But I can't think of any measures that are both legal and effective. Will he fall back into the gray industry again? "

"Of course he is not satisfied with the gray industry." Schiller said: "Even the black industry is not okay. No matter what industry he is in, he must do business properly. It will make money too slowly."

"What is he going to do? He won't just rob, right?"

"It's almost the same as robbing." Schiller shook his head and said nothing. After seeing the curious eyes of the two, he couldn't help but said, "You will know in a few days."

The car drove for a long time and finally arrived at the destination. Although there were many things in the new campus that were not complete, and there were even a lot of building materials that had not been taken away, and the people he saw were all busy packing up, it was still a thriving scene.

Victor got out of the car first, stood at the gate, put his hand on the railing and looked inside the new campus. He said with great satisfaction: "It is worthy of being invested by Wayne Group, designed by Gotham University School of Architecture, and contracted and constructed by the Falconet family. It looks really impressive."

Schiller also got out of the car. In fact, this was the first time he saw the completed version of the new campus. Although it was not far from his home, almost every time he passed by, it was still under construction.

He was a little curious before, why the building in the middle was always fenced off. Now he can see that it is not a traditional building. It looks more like a horizontal beehive with beautiful streamlined curves. It looks less like a university and more like some kind of alien building.

The buildings scattered outside are also hexagonal, connected to the building in the middle by a thin corridor. There are several hexagonal buildings at the back, which are also connected to other buildings.

"It looks like the style of the East District." Schiller said as he walked in, "It's just not so dense, and the decoration style is more sci-fi."

"I like this style very much." Victor said excitedly, "Where is my cryogenic laboratory? They said there is one of the most advanced cryogenic laboratories in the United States, and it cost one-third of the laboratory construction funds! That will be my home in the future!"

"It seems to be there. Do you see that? There is a huge snowflake pattern." Anna pointed to a hexagonal building in the distance and said, "I guess that represents the cryogenic laboratory."

Victor wanted to go over immediately, but Schiller stopped him and said, "Have you forgotten? Only the academic affairs building and classrooms are open now. That is your future home. You can't enter now."

Victor sighed, then lowered his arms and said, "Okay, let's go to see the office first. We have independent offices now, right?"

Because the former Gotham University was too old and too small, most professors worked in one office. Even if they were famous in the academic world, they did not have their own independent offices.

Schiller was able to have his own independent office mainly because his shredder was so active. If it was not kept in a separate room, the academic achievements of other professors and the professor himself would be in danger.

But in fact, Schiller's so-called independent office was not very big. Due to the poor quality of the building, the corners of the wall began to mold not long after he moved in.

Now they all have independent offices in the new Academic Affairs Building, and for the purpose of communication, they chose three adjacent rooms.

The tall buildings behind are the Academic Affairs Building. Their office is on the 16th floor. When they took the elevator upstairs, they found that such a large building only has three offices per elevator, and each office is ridiculously large.

Moreover, the office is not an ordinary flat, but a duplex. The office area is downstairs and the rest area is upstairs. It is not an ordinary loft with only one bed, but a real two-story building.

Anna and Victor's offices are on both sides of the elevator shaft. Schiller is opposite them. After he pushed the door and walked in, he saw a huge floor-to-ceiling window that almost overlooked the entire Gotham New District.

Today's sunshine is not bad. It seems to be testing the cloud filtering system. It is bright but not sunny. The modern furniture in the room is shining, including black leather sofas, modern electronic fireplaces, built-in TVs and gray cabinets.

Then walk to the left and you will see the office area, which is still a bookshelf on three walls, a huge desk, and various cabinets. However, this time, each desk is equipped with two computers. Obviously, they are entering the era of information-based office.

There is a small door next to it. Push open the door to the stairwell. Go up the stairwell and the corridor leads to the reception area on the second floor. The entire second floor is carpeted. There is also a floor-to-ceiling window in the reception area. There is a coffee table and two chairs in front of the window, and a small kitchen for making tea and coffee behind it.

Push open the door to see a luxurious bedroom with a comfortable big bed and a custom wardrobe. The bay window has been changed into a bookshelf and hung with gray-brown curtains.

When Schiller walked downstairs again, Victor and Anna had already come in. They were not stingy with their praise. Schiller could clearly see that the two of them were a little too excited.

This office has indeed improved a lot compared to the past, but to be honest, it is not even one-tenth as luxurious as Greedy's office in Marvel Arkham Sanatorium.

Arrogance seemed to hear Greedy muttering in his ear again: "So as long as you let me go up, you can have an office that is much more luxurious than mine. I will make all the money and even buy the whole Gotham..."

"That's why I won't let you out because you will definitely do that." Arrogance replied: "I am an adult with normal self-care ability. I can make money by myself."

It may be that he was thinking too loudly, or he accidentally said his thoughts. Victor and Anna looked at him like an alien creature, and the two ran out of Schiller's office.

Schiller chased them to the door and shouted: "Don't just chat. We must finish cleaning today. We will work here tomorrow. Students' classes cannot be stopped for too long. I can't catch up with the progress!"

The two people's perfunctory answers came from outside the door, and Schiller returned to his office. Although it was delivered with fine decoration, there was a lot of dust here because there was still a place under renovation outside, and it needed to be cleaned up.

Schiller picked up the phone and called his housekeeper, asking him to bring cleaning tools. Although there are some simple brooms here, they are definitely not as efficient as vacuum cleaners.

Merkel came over soon and brought a vacuum cleaner and various suction heads, brooms, rags, buckets and other things. Schiller picked up the vacuum cleaner and prepared to work by himself, but was stopped by Merkel.

"Oh my God, sir, you can't work in this." Merkel said: "Your suit jacket will get dirty in less than a minute."

"What about wearing a shirt?"

"I mean this place is not big, I can clean it myself, or you can go back to the manor to rest first, and come back tomorrow to ensure it is clean and tidy."

Under normal circumstances, Schiller would go back directly, but he looked at Merkel for a long time today, and then said: "Do you have anything to say?"

Merkel touched his face hesitantly and said: "Nothing can be hidden from you, sir, that... is..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, you still have to work "" Moscow said that I was working well, they wanted to transfer me back to the headquarters. "Schiller was a little stunned. Merkel said:" But I am still a foreign agent, maybe I will be transferred one day, I ... " Do you provide them with useful intelligence? Or do you say what is difficult to get? The two big killers of Rice Wayne and Wayne Group made them busy with the Soviet Union. I think Moscow must give you a medal ... "

"I don't need to bring anything, so I can leave now, but I have to clean up here first, and then..."

"I'll clean it myself, and you can book a flight." Schiller said, then he took his wallet, gave Merkel this month's salary and said: "After you leave, the manor will be even more uninhabitable, I hope I can sell it soon."
