As soon as they entered the elevator, Yu Yi watched Meng Qing open a screen inside the elevator. When he was about to select a floor, she was surprised by the number of floors: “Are there this many floors?”
Meng Qing said: “Most floors are data libraries. The number of paper document backups in the bureau is so massive… you can’t imagine it if you haven’t seen it.”
Additionally, the space occupied by servers is considerable. Did you think those things you see on terminals are stored where? All data, programs, and information are in the servers, and terminals just call them up. Only a few floors are actually for living and working. The bureau has a hospital under the medical department, a research area under the technical department, staff recreation areas, and even a kindergarten…”
“A kindergarten?” Yu Yi asked in surprise.
“Yes, staff members also have children,” Meng Qing replied with a mischievous smile. “Why don’t we have one too?”
Yu Yi blushed and gave him a reproachful glance. “Why are you talking about this here? Didn’t we agree to wait a while?”
“I’m not saying we should have one right now.”
As they spoke, the elevator reached the floor where Lin Bai lived. Standing in front of his room, Meng Qing placed his hand on the door. The door scanned his palm and fingerprints, then an electronic synthesized voice said: “Visitor does not have permission to enter.”
Meng Qing frowned slightly, looked up at the digital nameplate, confirming this was indeed Lin Bai’s room. He muttered, “Could it be because Lin Bai is missing, so they’ve modified the entry permissions? Are they forcing me to infiltrate the bureau’s system?”
Yu Yi thought for a moment: “Don’t do that first.”
Try submitting a request to regain entry permissions, like saying you left something in Lin Bai’s room that you need to retrieve. After all, you and Lin Bai are good friends and used to often enter his room.
Meng Qing said: “I’ll try. If the investigation team doesn’t allow it, we’ll have to do it the hard way.”
