He walked slowly to the center of the cafeteria, found an empty seat and sat down, while his entourage stood behind him.

"I came here to see everyone's living conditions in person and to hear what everyone has to say," Chen Yu said bluntly, his tone full of sincerity and concern.

The employees nodded in agreement. Some began to wipe away tears, while others were too moved to speak, their fists clenched tightly, their eyes shining with gratitude and admiration.

Chen Yu raised his wrist to check the time, then frowned deeply and questioned the person in charge beside him: "Robert, our base has clear regulations that citizens' working hours cannot exceed 6 hours a day. Although it is a special period now, the time cannot exceed 12 hours. Look at what time it is now?"

Upon hearing this, Robert, the person in charge, quickly glanced at his smartwatch and his expression immediately turned somewhat embarrassed. He swiftly reviewed the day's work schedule in his mind and then explained, "Mr. Chen, I'm very sorry. Due to the recent tight production schedule, we did have to work overtime for a while. But please rest assured, the overtime was voluntary, and we have also provided appropriate compensation to employees who worked overtime in accordance with the base's regulations."

Chen Yu's expression remained serious as he slowly said, "I know everyone is working hard for the future of the base, and I am very grateful for everyone's efforts. However, we cannot sacrifice the health and rest time of the base's residents in exchange for production progress. Such an approach not only violates the base's regulations but is also irresponsible towards the base's residents."

As he spoke, he stood up, looked around at the staff in the canteen, and said firmly, "Starting today, I require all branch bases to strictly abide by the base's working hours regulations and prohibit any form of overtime. At the same time, I will strengthen supervision to ensure that this regulation is effectively implemented."

The employees nodded in agreement. While they were eager to contribute to the base, they understood even more the importance of health and rest. Chen Yu's words undoubtedly reassured them.

“Mr. Chen, you’re right. We should indeed prioritize our health and not sacrifice long-term goals for short-term progress,” an older employee stood up and said emotionally. His voice was slightly choked with emotion, clearly moved by Chen Yu’s sincerity and care.

Other employees echoed this sentiment, expressing their willingness to abide by the regulations and make reasonable work and rest arrangements.

Seeing this, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. He knew that only when the investors truly felt cared for and respected would they be more actively involved in the construction and development of the Tianyu base.

“Besides working hours, I would also like to know about everyone’s food and accommodation conditions.” Chen Yu’s gaze softened, and his tone carried a hint of concern. “After all, these are basic needs related to everyone’s health and happiness.”

Upon hearing this, the employees began to chatter.

Some of them talked about how the food in the cafeteria had improved, while others shared the newly added heating facilities in the dormitory.

Despite the harsh conditions, their descriptions were filled with a love for life and an expectation for the future.

Chen Yu listened patiently, nodding in agreement from time to time. He knew that these seemingly trivial matters were directly related to the quality of life and happiness of the fund investors. Therefore, he promised on the spot to increase investment in the living facilities of each branch base to ensure that every fund investor could enjoy better living conditions.

"Mr. Chen, you are truly a living God!" a young employee exclaimed excitedly. "With your care and support, no matter how hard or tiring it is, we feel it's all worth it!"

Other employees echoed their sentiments, filling the canteen with an atmosphere of gratitude and respect. Their words revealed boundless trust and expectation in Chen Yu, as if he were a beacon guiding them forward.

Chen Yu smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down. He knew all too well that these people were not only the cornerstone of Tianyu Base, but also the hope of all humankind. Their sacrifices and efforts were all for a common goal—to overcome the extreme cold disaster and rebuild their beautiful homeland.

“I have received everyone’s good wishes.” Chen Yu’s voice was gentle yet firm. “Please believe that Tianyu Base will always stand behind you and provide you with a solid support. We will work together to ensure that everyone can live a happy and healthy life.”

Upon hearing this, the employees nodded in agreement. Their eyes shone with determination, as if they could already see a bright future ahead.
