Aimee laughed at her astonishment and said, “A world all its own, right?”
“I can’t believe it,” Minnie exclaimed.
“It wasn’t easy,” Aimee said. “But, thanks to a lot of hard work, it is what it is.”
Minnie couldn’t help but be surprised.
Now, Aimee made it sound so easy, but Minnie was not an idiot, and knew exactly how hard it was to turn this place into like this.
However, in this respect, it also showed that Aimee was really capable of transforming an already saturated area into what she wanted it to be, and if she didn’t have the ability to get all sides to support her, how could she possibly do that?
Minnie followed Aimee down a long corridor with a keen sense of discovery, and finally inside the institute.
Unlike most research institutes, the decor was minimalist, and at first glance, it felt like a trendy place. It even made people feel that this place was more like a theme museum. If enough publicity was put in place, this place would definitely become a popular place for online celebrities.
But Minnie just thought about it and didn’t say it out loud.
In her opinion, this was too devalued to be classified as such a place.
Of course, Minnie soon became more certain of how foolish and short-sighted the idea was.
Everything here was very simple, but, at the same time, very expensive.
There were things that Minnie recognized, things she had only seen in magazines, things she could not afford to buy, and things she could only sigh about.
No, that was not accurate. To be more precise, it was something she can’t afford for several lifetimes.
Now it was laid out so bravely that Minnie wondered if she was walking into a dream.
Otherwise, how can she see these things?
Minnie complained to herself in her heart that she was not really a bumpkin and how could she look as if she had never seen those things?
Finally, Aimee led Minnie to the heart of the institute and introduced to her, “This is the most central place of the entire institute. It can be said that this is the place where our institute has been able to stand all year round.”
Minnie’s heart was already beating fast. This was where the world’s smartest minds congregated.
“I’ve seen what you’re working on now, and some of your projects,” Aimee said. “It’s going to take some work to get directly into that position.”
Minnie nodded, understanding Aimee’s words naturally.
She was quite intelligent compared to the average person, and could, so to speak, defeat three-
quarters of the world’s people with her mind.
However, if she wanted to go to a more elite level, she needed to pay more effort.
“I’ll get someone to guide you through the early stages,” Aimee said. “You’ll get used to the pace of work here. When you’re fully used to it, you’ll be on your own, doing what you want to do.”
When Minnie heard this, she turned to look at Aimee and asked, “You mean, if I have my own research to do, you’d let me do it?”
“Of course,” Aimee laughed, “I’m very strict here. At the same time, very free. As long as the project you propose is approved, I’ll give you the strongest support for whatever you want to do. I will ration you whatever you want, financially, technologically and in terms of personnel.”
Minnie couldn’t describe how she felt.
She had worked in other research institutes for some time before. Of course, she was only doing her internship, which could only be considered as doing chore in a research institute. She had never entered any important department.
But she was also exposed to the depravity of the institute, such as tripping over each other. And even, she was almost used as a tool to involved into the mess. However, she was keenly aware that someone was plotting against her, so she retaliated in time so that her future would not be ruined.
Now, hearing Aimee’s words, Minnie was shocked beyond belief.
She even suspected that she didn’t get it wrong that Aimee was just trying to get her to stay.
Minnie, however, quickly dismissed the idea herself.
If that was the case, it would be outrageous.
It was not that Minnie was self-deprecating, but she didn’t think there was anything about her that was worth Aimee’s bother.
In particular, Aimee’s abilities were many times greater than hers.
Aimee didn’t know that Minnie had thought so much in such a short time.
“Come on,” she said, “I’ll show you the rest.”
As a research institute, in addition to having the most advanced research programs, researchers and research equipment, auxiliary things were also important.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation can be said to be comprehensive.
“You can choose the room you like,” Aimee said. “You can tell me what you need, and I’ll arrange for someone to set it up for you.”
Once again, Minnie wondered how manipulative Aimee can be.
It was hard not to be willing to work for her on these terms.
Minnie said, “You’ve made it very clear to me that if I refuse, I’ll be too insensible, too ungrateful.”
“I told you, you don’t have to be stressed,” Aimee said. “You just have to do what you want.”
Minnie nodded. “I’ll think about it,” she said
After visiting the institute, Aimee gave Minnie plenty of time to think about it, rather than immediately enrolling her.
Minnie was very grateful for that.
If Aimee had just asked her to apply for a job, she might have said yes.
However, if she really made a decision on this matter, whether the consequences would be the way she thought they would be or not would be another matter.
When they returned to the cafe, Aimee looked at Minnie as if she had an idea. “Do you know Eden?”
She asked.
Minnie stiffened as if she didn’t understand what Aimee was saying. She stared at Aimee for a long time, as if she had just understood what she said.
However, Minnie quickly realized that Aimee was Patrick’s wife, that Patrick and Eden were friends, and that they knew each other without any problems.
It was just, Minnie didn’t understand why Aimee would suddenly mention Eden to her.
When Aimee saw that she was not denying it, she said, “It just occurs to me that he’s in the hospital with a stomachache. Do you know about that?”
Minnie didn’t know how she got out of the coffee shop.
Aimee’s message to her was too powerful.
No more words were needed. Minnie already knew that Eden had a stomachache because of the squid she had given him.
Aimee didn’t tell her how bad Eden’s stomach hurt, but she imagined the bleeding, the ulcers and the perforations.
Minnie held the steering wheel and felt bad.
She did not start the car and leave immediately, but stayed in it for a long time.
Minnie held the phone for a moment, unable to decide whether to send a message to Eden.
All she felt now was as if she were trapped in an icicle, and the chill was so great that it gave her no chance of escape.
Minnie pressed the button on her phone over and over again, then turned Eden’s page on and off for half an hour.
Finally, Minnie decided to send Eden a message.
If Eden really became like this because of her, then she was indeed responsible.
Minnie: “Mr. Mccoy, I heard you’re in the hospital with stomachache. May I come and see you?”
After sending the message, Minnie didn’t immediately receive a reply from Eden.
She did not expect Eden to reply at once.
Therefore, she threw the cell phone directly to the co-pilot’s seat, and then, started the car to the direction of a shopping mall.
Before she got Eden’s message, she needed to get ready and saw what gift she can use to visit him.
In this way, after receiving Eden’s message, she could go there without any delay.
However, Minnie was not sure whether she can receive Eden’s reply.
Minnie hadn’t heard from Eden for three days since the last bad break-up.
She thought that if she really annoyed Eden and made him really angry.
But Minnie didn’t think she was doing anything wrong. She was just telling Eden the truth.
And that was exactly what she’d been through over the years.
However, she now suddenly knew that he was sick in the hospital, which let Minnie begin to regret that day if she really did too much.
Minnie wasn’t sure what to take with her to visit him. Most importantly, Eden had an upset stomach, so it was not appropriate to buy food.
Minnie went round and round in the mall, and even googled it and asked a lot of people, but she didn’t get a good advice.
And these let Minnie have no sense of loss.
To her disappointment, she had been shopping for almost two hours and still had not received any message from Eden.
Minnie would tell herself at first that it was because Eden was resting and didn’t see her message.
However, the more time passed, the more Minnie felt that it wasn’t like this because Eden was still angry with her and didn’t want to pay attention to her, so he didn’t reply at all.
Minnie sighed. She was no longer in the mood to pick up a gift, but bought some supplements and left.
Back in the car, Minnie was about to start the car when her cell phone rang.
She took a look at the phone. It was really Eden, which made Minnie have a moment of daze.
