Chapter 2509

The new campus is relatively far from the old campus. To be precise, the new campus is relatively remote compared to the main city area. It takes about an hour to drive there. In order not to make the school's already tight funds worse, these transport trips basically only had trucks coming over, and people sat in the truck compartments along with the furniture being moved.

Fortunately, they moved a few office chairs this time, and after fixing them, they could sit on them, so they wouldn't be dizzy from the bumps.

There were many professors and students on the same truck as them, and Schiller, Victor, and Anna were squeezed into a corner.

"It's hard to imagine that one day we would sit in a car in such a posture," Victor said, sitting on a cushion and smiling. "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 righteously, "I didn't even wear a vest today, nor did I wear suit suspenders. I feel my shirt is already as wrinkled as the surface of the earth."

Both of them laughed, and then they started talking about the economic situation of the people around them. As expected, everyone's situation was not very good, and this "everyone" even included the rich people they had previously recognized.

"The Wei En Group's capital chain has problems," Anna sighed and said. "When I was a data consultant for them before, I discovered that their capital chain itself was precarious, and their risk resistance was very poor. The excessive investment in Cat Getan's architectural renovation project in the early stage led to the fact that they haven't fully recovered yet."

"Has their capital chain broken?"

"If no new blood is injected, I'm afraid so," Anna shook her head and said. "But this is not surprising. Although he is still much richer than us, the impact of such a large conglomerate in an economic crisis is definitely much greater than that of ordinary people."

"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. He wouldn't fall into doing gray industries again, would he?"

"Of course he won't be satisfied with doing gray industries anymore," Schiller said. "Even black industries won't work. No matter what industry you engage in, it's doing business properly. That way, money comes too slowly."

"Then what does he intend to do? He wouldn't just rob directly, would he?"

"It's about the same as robbing," Schiller shook his head and didn't speak again. After seeing their curious eyes, he couldn't help but say another sentence, "You'll know in a few days."

The car swayed for half a day and finally reached its destination. Although the new campus had many things that were not perfect, and even a pile of building materials had not been taken away, and everyone seen was in a hurry to pack things, it was still a scene of prosperity.

Victor got off the car first, stood at the gate, put his hand on the railing, looked inside the new campus, and smacked his lips with great satisfaction, saying, "It is worthy of being a new campus invested by the Wei En Group, designed by the Cat Getan University School of Architecture, and contracted by the Falcone family. It looks really grand."

Schiller also got off 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 a construction site.

He was a bit curious before why the building in the middle had to be fenced off all the time. Now he can see it. That is not a building in the traditional sense. It looks more like a honeycomb lying on its side, possessing beautiful streamlined curves. The appearance is not very much like a university, but more like some kind of alien building.

The buildings scattered outside are also hexagonal, connected to the middle building by thin corridors. At the very back, there are several hexagonal buildings, which are also connected to other buildings.

"Looks like the style of the East District," Schiller said while walking inside. "Just not as dense, and the decoration style is more sci-fi."

"I like this style very much," Victor said excitedly. "What about my low-temperature laboratory? They said there is the most advanced low-temperature laboratory in the United States here, which cost one-third of the laboratory construction funds! That will be my home field in the future!"

"Seems like it's over there. See that? There is a huge snowflake pattern," Anna pointed to a hexagonal building in the distance and said. "I guess that represents the low-temperature laboratory."

Victor immediately wanted to go over. Schiller stopped him and said, "Did you forget? Now only the administrative building and classrooms are open. That is your home field in the future, but you can't get in now."

Victor let out a sigh, then dropped his arms and said, "Okay, then let's go see the office first. Now we have independent offices, right?"

Because the old Cat Getan University was too old and too small, most professors were squeezed into one office to work. Even if they were famous in the academic world, they didn't have their own independent offices.

The main reason Schiller could have his own independent office was that the subjective initiative of his shredder was too strong. If that thing wasn't locked in a room alone, the academic achievements and the professors themselves would be in danger.

But in fact, Schiller's so-called independent office wasn't very big. Due to the poor quality of the building, not long after moving there, the corners of the walls started to mold.

Now they all have independent offices in the new administrative building, and for the sake of communication, they chose three adjacent ones.

The high-rise buildings at the back are the administrative buildings. Their offices are on the 16th floor. After taking the elevator upstairs, they discovered that such a large building only had three households per elevator, and each office was outrageously large.

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

Anna and Victor's offices are on both sides of the elevator shaft, and Schiller is opposite them. After he pushed the door and walked in, what caught his eye was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, almost able to overlook the entire Cat Getan New District.

The sunlight today is not bad. It seems to be testing the dark cloud filtering system. It is very bright but not hot. The modern furniture in the room is shining, black leather sofas, modern electronic fireplaces, built-in TVs, and gray cabinets.

Then walking to the left hand side is the office area, still with bookshelves on three walls plus a huge desk, various cabinets, but this time each desk is equipped with two computers. Obviously, they are about to enter the era of information-based office work.

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

After pushing the door open, it is a luxury bedroom, with a comfortable large bed, custom-made wardrobe, the bay window has been converted into a bookshelf, and gray-brown curtains are hanging.

When Schiller walked downstairs again, Victor and Anna had already come in, not sparing their praise at all. Schiller could clearly see that they were a bit over-excited.

This office has indeed improved a lot compared to before, but to be honest, it is not even one-tenth as luxurious as the office of Greed in the Marvel Arkham Asylum.

Pride seemed to hear Greed whispering in his ear again: "So as long as you let me up, you can have an office much more luxurious than mine. I will earn all the money, and even buy the entire Cat Getan..."

"It's because you would definitely do that, that I won't let you out," Pride replied. "I am an adult with normal self-care ability. I can earn money myself."

It is possible that he thought too loudly, or it is possible that he accidentally said his thoughts out loud. Victor and Anna looked at him like they were looking at an alien creature, and the two ran out of Schiller's office in a flash.

Schiller chased them to the door and shouted, "Don't just chat. You must finish packing today. We will work here tomorrow. Students' classes cannot be stopped for too long. I am about to fall behind the progress!"

Perfunctory answers came from outside the door. Schiller returned to his office. Although this is a fine-decorated delivery, because there are still places outside that are being renovated, a lot of dust has fallen here, and it needs to be cleaned up properly.

Schiller picked up the phone and called his butler, asking him to bring cleaning tools over. Although there are some simple brooms and the like here, the efficiency is definitely not as good as a vacuum cleaner.

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

"Oh my god, sir, you can't work in this outfit," Merkel said. "Your suit jacket won't last a minute before it gets very dirty."

"Then what about wearing a shirt?"

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

Under normal circumstances, Schiller would have gone back directly, but he looked at Merkel for a while today and then said, "Is there something you want to say?"

Merkel hesitated and touched his face and said, "Nothing can be hidden from you, sir. That... is..."

"If you have something to say, just say it. There is still work to do."

"Moscow said that I am doing a good job, and they want to transfer me back to headquarters."

Schiller was a bit stunned. Merkel said, "But I am still a field agent, maybe one day I will be transferred back, I..."

"I want to say that they actually think you are doing a good job. What work did you do?"

"Uh, as a butler, I am not bad, right?"

"But you are not just a butler. Did you provide them with any useful information? Or did you handle any difficult target person?"

Merkel's lips moved. Schiller could clearly feel that he wanted to say, "Isn't the most difficult one you?"

"But you obviously didn't handle me."

"Because you don't need me to handle it," Merkel spread his hands and said righteously. "Forgive me for being blunt, sir, you held back Bruce Wei En and the Wei En Group, these two big killers, for ten years, making them so busy that they couldn't take care of the Soviet Union at all. I think Moscow must award you a medal..."

"Okay," Schiller interrupted him helplessly. "When are you leaving? Is everything packed?"

"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 up myself, you can book the ticket," Schiller said, then he brought his wallet over, gave Merkel his salary for this month, and said, "After you leave, the manor will be even more unlivable, but I hope I can sell it early."
