AT LIME TREE GROUP OF COMPANIES,

Arjun was at the reception of the company.

" Excuse me..." Arjun called the receptionist who was busy entering some data.

" Good morning sir, how may I help you?" She asked politely with a small smile.

" Good morning, actually I am here to meet the R&D Director, Mr Swaminathan. I have an appointment with him..." Arjun said.

She checked on the system to check about his appointment.

" Yes sir. Mr Arjun kasyup?" She asked for which Arjun nodded positively.

She then directed towards the R&D Director through clerck.

It was a short meeting about the devices they were going to order and the service catalogue, it took about two hours for him to finish the meeting, and after the meeting, Mr. Swaminathan invited him to join him for lunch at the cafeteria suggesting that their cafeteria food was one of the bests. To which Arjun replied positively.

" How is our cafeteria food Mr. Kashyup?" Mr. Swaminathan asked with a smile.

" Just like how you described!" Arjun exclaimed to him.

The cafeteria had healthy and tasty food, which impressed him very much.

" Our mam, always insists that a happy and healthy environment would motivate employees to work harder." Mr. Swaminathan said with pride.

" Ah, about your mam. Can I meet her today? I wanted to meet her but forgot to get an appointment." Arjun asked, though he knew she was Shakthi he still at least wanted to see her face which reminded him of his Yaazhini.

" I don't think It would be possible, Mr. Kashyup. Mam comes to the office only on Monday and Thursday other days she will be in the Institute. As you know she is first a researcher then comes the business." The middle-aged man explained to him.

" Oh, but I remember when I first came to the company it was Monday she was here that is why I am confused." Arjun expressed his confusion.

" Ah, sometimes she makes surprise visits and when she has some appointments. The day she came here for your meeting especially." He explained to him.

" Okay, okay!" Arjun nodded and continued eating.

Mr. Swamination offered to tour the whole campus.

" I would love to!" Arjun expressed his appreciation for the offer with a grateful smile.

" Basically, this campus is spread around 780 acres. We are at the entrance, as you know we are at the headquarters. The headquarters is open to visitors with appointments but once after that gate, it belongs to the research institute which is closed to the public even the employees of the headquarters. Only the researchers, students and high-grade directors have access after and then you know security and housekeeping." The R&D director explained.

" The office building looks like 50 to 60 acres. So, the remaining is for the institute?" Arjun asked as they sat on the Electric Vehicle for the tour.

" Yes, the office is of 80 acres. In 700 acres 300 acres are dedicated to the research institute...."

" 300 for an institute?" He asked surprised, he was so into the Yaazhini Sakthi confusion he failed to notice this big campus.

" Yes, we have an animal facility, and library, and there are around 200 labs of which 160 are government-funded while 40 are private labs. The private labs are our core R&D labs. Apart from this we also have 10 laboratories that provide internships and training to aspiring researchers. Around 400 acres are still Vacant with just trees, we also have a separate cafeteria here for those who work in the institute." He explained.
