<h1><strong>Chapter 1409 Employee Trip</strong></h1>


    Luca''s expression turned dull for two seconds when she heard their reply.


    She did not expect that they would also be going on the employee trip...


    "In that case, when is it?" Luca asked. She was not too keen on going when she thought of how she had to travel with all the other employees.


    It was not because of Luke. She simply did not want to join in the excitement. Jason would rarely make an appearance inpany events as such, let alone Luke.


    It was usually led by managers of other departments.


    "It hasn''t been decided yet. I heard that they''ll decide on the location first, and then the time,” a researcher said.


    Luca nodded, walked to her seat, and sat down. Since they were so interested in the employee trip, she was happy to let them discuss it. She started with her research.


    Zoey walked in with a cup of coffee and saw several researchers gathered together. After she heard about what they were discussing, she smiled and did not say anything.


    She ced the coffee on Luca''s seat and said, "Dr. Craw, your coffee."


    "Thank you,” Luca was a little sleepy. She picked up the coffee, swayed it a little, and took a sip. When one of the researchers saw Zoey, he asked curiously, "Miss Zoey, where do you think we should vote for?"


    Zoey smiled and said, "Just vote ording to your preferences.”


    "We want to go to every ce, so we want to get your opinion. After all, you''ve been working in T Corporation for so many years. We want a rough idea of where other people are voting for,” the researcher said with a smile. The budget for T Corporation''s employee trips was huge and the ces chosen were ces where employees usually did not have the financial means to visit.


    Zoey heard what they said, thought about it, and replied, "I think Vi Almira of B City may have more votes."


    When she heard B City being mentioned, Luca put down the coffee cup and asked, "Why B City?" Amur happened to be carrying out a mission there. Although B City wasrge and it was unlikely they would bump into each other during the employee trip, her heart still felt uneasy.


    "We''ve visited the other ces in past employee trips. Although the scenic spots are different, they''re essentially still the same locations. B City is a newly added location this year. The scenery and facilities of Vi Almira are great. It''s close to neighboring countries too, so my guess is that everyone will choose to go there,” Zoey said.


    After listening to her analysis, Luca asked, "Why did thepany add B City as one of the travel options this year? I''m just curious. After all, with so many going on the trip, I doubt we''d travel via ne? If we take the high-speed rail, it''ll take almost a day to arrive.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    If all of the employees of T Corporation went on the trip to B City, the cost of the high-speed rail tickets alone would be high.


    "It''s part of thepany''s welfare. As for why the boss is so generous, you have to ask him about this," Zoey said with a smile.


    When several researchers heard her reply, they all said, "Sounds good! Shall we all vote for B City, then?"


    "Yeah!"


    "Let''s do it." Several of them agreed.


    "If you''re done with voting, let''s start with the research.” Luca reminded them, then turned around and walked to the cultivation room.


    "Got it!" the researchers replied.


    Seeing their ecstatic reaction, Zoey said, "lI won''t bother you with your research. If you need anything, just use the office phone to reach the assistant''s office.”


    "Okay, thank you, Ms. Zoey." Rhett was the first to respond


    Zoey returned to the assistant''s office and reported to Jason about Luca''s reaction when she learned that the employee trip would likely be to B City.


    After Jason learned about it, he reported the incident to Luke.


    Long before this, Luke already got to know that Luca''s younger brother, Amur, was on a business trip in B City. He wanted to take the opportunity to test whether Luca was from the Ind of Despair, so he arranged for such a trip through the employee trip.


    Luca had been saying that Amur was her younger brother after her mother remarried. However, Luke was on guard as Amur was of pure Russian descent, and the former Ind of Despair was in Russia.


    "Mm, keep an eye on the voting and have them choose B City," Luke said.


    Jason nodded and sighed silently in his heart. His boss was willing to go all out to test Luca. The cost of having all the employees take the high-speed rail was ridiculously high.


    After running experiments all morning, Luca finally cultivated several types of bacteria by the time she got to her lunch break. Her next step was to cultivate these bacteria to test the efficacy of the medicine.


    When she walked out of the cultivation room, many researchers had already left theboratory for lunch.


    When Rhett saw her leave, he stood up and asked, "Dr. Craw, I''m going downstairs to buy lunch. Should I bring you anything?"


    Luca thought about it for a while. She felt a little tired so she nodded and said, "Okay, please bring me lunch.”


    T Corporation did not have a cafeteria for its employees, so the employees either brought their own meals or they ate outside.


    "Okay, what do you feel like having?" Rhett asked.


    "I''m okay with anything. Just get a takeaway of whatever you''re having. By the way, please send it to the door of my office and don''t knock.” Luca wanted to make use of lunchtime to catch up on sleep. She would eat when she woke up.


    "Okay," Rhett nodded. It was not the first time that she made such a request so he did not question it.


    Luca left theb with him, but one of them walked toward the office while the other toward the elevator.


    Rhett met Zoey in front of the elevator. Before he could speak, Zoey greeted him, "Mr. Link, what a coincidence. Good afternoon.”


    "Ms. Zoey, good afternoon." Rhett''s face could not help but flush when he was faced with the beautiful female assistant in front of him.


    "Are you going downstairs to eat?" Zoey asked.


    "Yes, you too?" Rhett did not expect that she would have lunch sote. He went for lunchte because he had been busy recording thest bit of experimental data.


    "Yes, I just sorted out the department''s personnel information so I''m a littlete today. I didn''t expect to bump into you." Zoey brushed her hair and asked, "I heard that Watson Biopharmaceuticals is equipped with a cafeteria. Is it weird for you that T Corporation doesn''t have a cafeteria?”


    Rhett shook his head to indicate that he was okay with it. He said, "Watson Biopharmaceuticals has a cafeteria because thepany is in a remote location and there are no restaurants around. There are a lot of restaurants nearby T Corporation. It''s very convenient.”


    Zoey pursed his mouth and grinned, then echoed along, "Yes, the food in restaurants is better than the food in cafeterias. Mr. Link, where are you going for lunch?"
