Chapter 2617
"Is this the island owner's residence?"
Richard shook his head: "The island owner also lives on the 9th floor of the tower. He lives on the top floor just like you. This is the territory of the East District."
"It's also where our research institute is located."
He pointed to the magnificent villa and said:
"The person who wants to see you is over there; just go in."
Jiang Wan was silent for a moment before asking, "Aren't you coming in with me?"
Richard shook his head: "He didn't see me. He would be unhappy if I went in."
Jiang Wan understood; the one inside probably had an unpredictable personality.
She thought for a moment and said, "If I go in, will he kill me?"
Richard glanced at her as if she were an idiot and said, "Don't worry, he won't kill you. You're the only gold nugget on this island."
"As long as you can prove your worth, I guarantee you can walk around this island with your head held high."
With his words of reminder, Jiang Wan understood the current situation.
It seems that person also hopes she will write games and then make money overseas, so this golden nugget should stay alive if possible.
With her confidence restored, Jiang Wan felt much more at ease and strode inside.
The interior is also extremely luxurious, it seems that the people on this island are not short of money.
In the center of the hall stood a series of interconnected coffee tables, seemingly pieced together from several pieces, surrounded by sofas and chaise lounges.
This looks like a place where many people gather.
When Jiang Wan came in, she saw a man in a suit sitting there.
Since he's the leader here, I'd guess he's an old man.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the person appeared to be quite young, with light blond hair.
He had fair skin, was wearing a suit, and had his back to Jiang Wan.
Hearing Jiang Wan approach, he said calmly, "Please sit down, Ms. Jiang Wan."
Jiang Wan paused for a moment, then walked over and sat down opposite him.
Only then did I notice that the man was very handsome, although his skin was still somewhat rosy.
At least it won't have the morbid pallor that Richard has.
Seeing that Jiang Wan was seated, the man spoke calmly, "I am the district head of the East District. The person who came to pick you up earlier is our medical director."
“The islander wants you to stay on the 9th floor of the 9th floor tower, but this month it just so happens that our East District is in charge of the medical management of the 9th floor tower.”
"That's why Richard brought you here."
He paused, then looked at Jiang Wan and said, "I want to know if you'd be willing to work for me?"
Jiang Wan pursed her lips and said, "Isn't it a bit ridiculous for you to ask me these questions now? The island lord sent me here. If I hadn't earned him a single penny, do you think the island lord would have handed me over to you?"
Jiang Wan was very clear-headed.
The district head knew what he was up to the moment he opened his mouth, and naturally she wouldn't let him have his way.
Do these two people think she's an easy target?
The district head remained silent for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly.
"The island owner wants you to write programs and make games for him, but he won't lock you up; you're still free."
"You can go wherever you want as long as you're on this island."
"It's the nine-story tower. Every time someone enters or leaves, they are checked and verified."
"This inspection isn't just a quick glance or a few touches; you need to take off all your clothes for the inspection to prevent anyone from bringing in personal items."
"So, I don't think you'd really like being examined."
Jiang Wan was naturally unwilling. Just thinking about that scene made her feel wronged and angry, and she wished she could take an AK and shoot all of them.
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger, knowing that getting angry at this time was not a good idea.
So he looked at the man and said:
What do you mean by "cooperation"?
"Are you suggesting that I finish writing the program for the island owner and then write the game for you, and then the two of you take turns squeezing me out of my 24 hours a day, making me wish I were dead?"
Since things had already come to this, Jiang Wan had no intention of hiding anything.
Do whatever makes you comfortable, and say whatever you want.
The East District Chief smiled and said, "I like your dashing and spirited personality."
"How about this, you can continue writing games for the island owner. After he finishes his task, if you can write a game for me, I will pay you according to the size of the game."
Jiang Wan looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Does your island lord intend to let me leave?"
The district chief shook his head. It was common knowledge that the island owner would never let this woman leave.
Even if one day she can no longer write, and can no longer write games.
The district head might send her to the slums of four districts to have children, if in the end she can't even have children anymore.
She'll probably be hit by a bullet.
If all else fails, you can just throw it off the island to feed the sharks.
In any case, we will absolutely not let this woman leave this island alive.
The district chief knew the answer perfectly well.
Jiang Wan was actually quite clear that, although she didn't know how the island lord would treat her, she was certain that she would either escape on her own or be rescued.
There is no third option.
Although everyone knows the answer.
However, the district head still answered politely:
"It's unlikely that you'll be allowed to leave this island, so you should just give up."
Jiang Wan said, "Of course I've given up. You're the one who hasn't."
"You said you'd give me money, but what good is money to me?"
"I can't leave this island, where else can I spend my money?"
But what the district head said next surprised Jiang Wan. He said, "You can order takeout."
The words "order takeout" left Jiang Wan completely bewildered.
It seems like this kind of business doesn't exist in this era. Logistics haven't even gotten going in various places yet, so how can we talk about food delivery?
But the man in front of her spoke with such ease and comfort that Jiang Wan looked at him suspiciously, thought for a moment, and asked:
Can you tell me what the phrase "ordering takeout" means?
"Where did this takeout come from? Don't tell me it's from the island."
The district chief held up a finger and shook it, saying, "No, no, no, of course it's not from the island, it's from outside the island."
"Resources are scarce on the island, but you can spend money there. No matter what country's currency you are using, as long as you exchange it at the right rate, you can get what you want."
"But there are some things that still can't be obtained from the island."
"At this point, you can choose to order takeout. Make a list of what you want and then hand it to the yellow hat in your area."
"Pay them another fee, and they will buy what you need as quickly as possible and deliver it to the island."
"There's almost one delivery like this every day."
Jiang Wan listened to his words in shock, feeling a bit confused. She never expected that such an isolated, primitive, and dilapidated island would actually have food delivery services.
Indeed! Human wisdom is boundless; only the environment can limit human imagination.
