The title of the application is "Shape of Eddy Current Flaw Detection Coil", and the patent application is related to a device for finding defects in automobile radiator drain pipes.After discussing with the technical staff who wrote the application by phone, Gao Gongcheng stood up and looked at the wall where four computer terminals were placed side by side.Each terminal has a person in charge, and their backs are facing him at this time.These four people are all women, only the one on the far right is wearing the uniform of Dongzai Denso, and the other three are wearing casual clothes because they are employees of the dispatch company.

The company's patent data used to be recorded on microfilm, but in order to facilitate computer searches, they planned to switch to disk records, and they were hired for the data transfer.Recently, there has been an increasing trend of companies employing dispatch personnel in this way.Strictly speaking, the human dispatch industry has a strong color of violating the "Occupational Security Act", but not long ago, the National Assembly passed legislation to recognize it, and at the same time passed the "Labor Dispatch Business Act" for the purpose of protecting dispatched workers.

Gao Gongcheng approached them, no, to be precise, he walked towards the back of the far left one.He had heard her mention her long hair, tied in a bunch at the back of her head, so as not to interfere with the keyboard operation. Misawa Chitsuru looked at the screen of the terminal and the paper beside him interactively, typing on the keyboard at a dizzying speed.Because it was so fast, it sounded like the sound of a production line machine running.The other three also.so it is. "Miss Sanze." Cheng called her from behind. Like a machine being turned off, Chitsuru's hands stopped moving.After a pause, she turned to Cheng.She wears big black-rimmed glasses, and her eyes behind the lenses may be a bit serious and rigid because she has been staring at the screen, but when she sees Cheng, she immediately relaxes and becomes quite soft.

"Yes." she replied.A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth at this time, and the creamy white delicate skin matched the bright pink lipstick very well.The round face made her look a little childish, but in fact she was only one year younger than Cheng, which he also found out in the previous conversation without any trace. "I want to check what applications have been submitted for the eddy current flaw detection project." "Eddy current?" "It's written like this." Cheng showed her the title of the document in his hand. Chitsuru quickly copied the title. "Okay. I'll search for it, print it out after I find it, and send it to you. Is that okay?" She said clearly.

"I'm sorry to trouble you when I'm so busy." "No, this is also my job." Qian Duliu replied with a smile. "Responsible work" is her mantra, and perhaps also the mantra of dispatched employees, but Cheng has hardly talked to other dispatched employees, so it is not clear. When Cheng returned to his seat, a male colleague asked him if he wanted to take a break.Except for special places such as high-level executives and reception rooms, this company strictly prohibits female colleagues from serving tea and pouring water in the workplace.Employees will go to the vending machines to buy cups of drinks during their breaks.

"No, I'll go later." The man left the office alone. It has been almost three years since Gao Gongcheng was assigned to the Patent Department of Dongxi Denso Tokyo Headquarters.Tozai Denso is a company that manufactures automotive electrical parts such as motors and spark plugs. The patent department manages all industrial patents related to the company's products.Specifically, it is to assist technicians to apply for patents for their invented technologies, or to propose countermeasures when the company has patent disputes with other companies. Soon, Misawa Chitsuru brought over the printed materials. "is this OK?"

"Thank you, thank you." Cheng said while reading the document, "Miss Sanze, have you rested yet?" "not yet." "Let me buy you a cup of tea." Saying that, Cheng got up and walked towards the exit, and glanced back halfway to confirm that Qianduliu was still following. Vending machines are in the hallway.Cheng stood by the window a little away from it, drinking coffee.Qianduliu came over with a paper cup filled with lemon tea in both hands. "Every time I see you work hard, you keep typing on the keyboard, don't your shoulders feel sore?" Cheng asked.

"Shoulders are okay, but eyes are more tired from staring at the screen all day." "Yes, it's not very good for the eyes." "Since I started doing this job, my eyesight has gotten worse. I didn't wear glasses before." "Oh, this is also an occupational disease." When not working in front of the computer, Chitsuru takes off his glasses.This makes her eyes appear larger. "Come and go between different companies, it must be a great burden on physical and mental strength." "Yes. However, compared with the male colleagues who were sent to design related companies, we are much more relaxed.

In order to catch up with the delivery, it is common for them to work overtime and stay up all night.During the day, people in the company need to use computers to perform general business, and inspections and corrections can only be done at night. I also know some people who work overtime for 170 hours a month. " "That's amazing." "Some systems take two or three hours just for the printing process. I heard that when they encounter this situation, they will bring sleeping bags and lay down in front of the computer. The magic is that as soon as the sound of the printer stops, they will wake up."

"It's so miserable," Cheng shook his head, "However, the treatment is relatively better, right?" Qian Du left a wry smile on his face. "It is to cut expenses that the dispatch of employees occurs. To put it bluntly, it is like throwing away disposable dishes and chopsticks." "The conditions are so harsh, thanks to your patience." "It can't be helped, it's to support myself." Saying that, Qian Duliu took a sip of lemon tea.Cheng peeked at her slightly pursed lips. "How is our company? Has it treated you badly?" "The company is very good, clean and comfortable." As he spoke, Qianduliu frowned slightly, "However, there are not many days to work here."

"Oh?" Sincerely surprised, it was the first time he had heard of it. "The assigned work will be almost over next week. The half-year contract signed at the beginning, plus the final inspection work, I think it will be over next week at most." "Oh..." Cheng crushed the empty paper cup, thinking about what to say, but couldn't find anything to say. "I don't know what kind of company I will be sent to next time." Qian Duliu murmured while looking out the window with a smile on his lips.
