The sea breeze blew, and my thoughts got disturbed. However, it did help to ease my seasickness. I didn't have time to calm down but hurriedly walked as I saw Jordan getting closer to the car that came to pick us up.
Jordan seemed to be someone respectful on this island. Throughout the journey, almost everyone who saw our car bowed and greeted us with a smile.
The smiles of these people looked natural and friendly. However, it seemed like he was so used to this that he had no reaction at all.
This made Jordan look like he was the most respectful 'God', who was taking his trip. Yet, this 'God' didn't have to do anything but just sit back and quietly accept their greetings as a gift to the people.
At this moment, my heart suddenly beat faster. I looked away from those gazes uneasily. I couldn't tell if they were stupid or just innocent.
Soon, we reached the largest factory on the island. The workers should have received the news in advance as they lined up outside the factory to welcome us.
These workers all wore the same blue uniforms, and they were all young people. All of them were full of vitality and was surprisingly united. Just like the older generation, whenever there was an order, they would just roll up their sleeves and get to it no matter what.
"Welcome, Mr. Marshall! Welcome, Mr. Marshall!"
While they were welcoming us, we got out of the car, and Jordan did not stop to talk to these 'followers'. Instead, he walked past the crowd while following the lead of a young manager and walked into the factory without any expression. I had to follow closely from behind to ensure that I wouldn't be pushed aside by the other workers.
The assembly line in the factory was in the production process, and every area was in order. It seemed that our arrival did not cause too much of a commotion, or perhaps it was because these people were well- trained and would not do anything beyond the rules.
However, there was something very strange. Whether it was the employees outside, the staff on the assembly line, or even the management staff on patrol, they were all very young men.
It would usually be less tiring if both males and females work together. This factory was so huge. Yet, there wasn't even a single female employee?
When we entered the elevator, I was wondering if I had seen it wrongly. Suddenly, the phone in front of me made some noise that sounded like an electric current. I looked up and saw a white light flashing on the display screen when it was supposed to show the floor number. Then, it turned into a brand new face recognition screen.
The manager, who welcomed us in, moved his face closer to the screen. In just a second, the words 'successful identification' appeared on the screen.
