Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...
"In reality, it's close to 12,000 square meters."
Su Tao's scalp tingled for a moment when she heard this number.
12,000 square meters will require her to consume 120 crystal cores.
It’s so big.
Before, she had only heard that the maternity and child health hospital next to Dongyang Hospital had complete facilities and spacious space, but she had never been there.
Now when I hear this huge number, I am really impressed by the old leader’s emphasis on women and children, and his willingness to use such a large piece of land.
You should know that Dongyang, whether it is a residential area, a commercial area, or even functional areas such as the government and the military, occupies as little land as possible and is very stingy.
She scratched her head and asked, "What are the more important areas of the maternity and child hospital, and how much space do they occupy?"
The old leader asked his assistant to bring a map of the maternity and child hospital and circled it for her to see:
"This is the maternal and child health care area, covering an area of about 3,000 square meters. It is the area with the largest number of pregnant women and newborns."
"There's an orphanage here, covering 1,500 square meters, with 400 children aged 3 to 12."
"This is a nursery, covering 2,000 square meters, with 200 preschool children."
"It's across from a primary school, which also covers over 2,000 square meters."
The old leader spoke slowly and carefully, and his eyes were filled with hope and worry every time he circled a place.
Su Tao could feel his expectation, and he wanted her to take over all the people and land in one go.
She pursed her lips and said, "I just roughly counted these crystal cores. There are about thirty of them. I may only be able to protect the women and children in the near future. Other places need more crystal cores."
Although the old leader had anticipated this, he still sighed and said:
"Alright, sorry to trouble you, dear child. I'll have someone send you crystal cores regularly. To be honest, these in the box are all the crystal cores Dongyang has. I didn't even save any for the younger generation to use for evolution, just in case you don't have enough."
“It’s still not enough.”
As he said this, he coughed violently twice, and Xing Shuyu hurried forward to pat him on the back.
Su Tao suddenly felt that the box containing the crystal core in her hand was as heavy as a thousand gold coins, so heavy that she couldn't even hold it.
The old leader paused for a moment, then beckoned over a serious middle-aged woman and introduced her to Su Tao:
"This is Director Guo. She has been in charge of all matters at Dongyang Women's and Children's Hospital over the years. You can ask her to handle anything you need."
This is equivalent to handing President Guo directly over to Su Tao's management.
Dean Guo, who was wearing glasses and looked like the dean of studies, was a little surprised to see how young she was, but he still nodded slightly at her.
Su Tao could feel her alienation and some distrust.
Forget it. After all, she is really young and doesn't look that reliable. There is a long way to go, so let's get to know her slowly.
Afterwards, Director Guo told her in detail about the situation of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital.
He also said that as long as the maternity and child hospital is incorporated into Taoyang, the income generated by it will belong to Taoyang.
For example, in terms of medical care, prenatal checkups, childbirth, etc. are not free, but if you are from Dongyang and have an ID, you can get half the fee waived.
The tuition fees for nurseries are not cheap. Families that can send their children to Dongyang Nursery have good incomes.
There is also the only primary school in Dongyang, and the expenses are not low.
The only non-profit part of the maternity and children's hospital is the orphanage, which takes in healthy and disease-free children who appear to be smart and clever.
Many more orphans are slowly losing their lives in corners where no one can see them.
After listening to the overall situation of the maternity and child hospital, Su Tao sighed in her heart.
In general, Dongyang's maternal and child hospitals are very class-oriented. If you have money and contribution points, you can enjoy good prenatal check-up services, have a smooth delivery, and receive education in regular schools.
Even orphans must be smart and healthy, and the rest will be eliminated.
Although it is a bit cruel, it does achieve maximum resource utilization to some extent.
Many of the talented people who hold important positions in the Dongyang government and the military were raised in the orphanage.
Dean Guo saw her frowning and thought she disagreed, so he reminded her:
"Boss Su, this is the best operating model before the end of the world. We are not saints or gods, and we cannot create a peaceful society like before the end of the world and treat everyone equally and fairly."
Su Tao nodded: "I understand."
Dean Guo breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately this young boss was not so stubborn and was willing to listen to his advice.
She felt relieved and asked:
"Boss Su, do you want to go take a look at the maternity and children's hospital? By the way, I'll have the financial staff come and settle the revenue for the first half of the month for you. Ever since the old leader decided to hand over the management of the maternity and children's hospital to you, the accounts have not been divided anymore."
Su Tao was stunned and felt surprised.
She was worried that after using up the crystal cores and gaining management rights over the medical area of the maternity and children's hospital, she would not have enough federal coins to splurge on buying a protective shield.
The old leader had considered everything for her.
So she followed Director Guo to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital and took a quick look around.
After reading it, she began to understand why Dongyang's economic and military development lagged so far behind the Wutai Base.
The old leader invested all his money and supplies in medical care and maternal and child health.
The maternity and child hospital is fully equipped, some of which even look new, and there are also sufficient medical equipment.
The overall environmental hygiene is also very good, and there are many doctors, nurses and childcare workers.
No wonder Dongyang’s population has remained stable and is growing year by year.
With such a maternity and child hospital, families in Dongyang that have the means are willing to have children.
Dean Guo put an identity bracelet on a crying newborn and said to Su Tao:
"The most expensive thing in the apocalypse isn't supplies or crystal cores, but population. Only people will buy supplies, and only people will fight for crystal cores."
Su Tao looked back at her seriously:
"Give me a year, and I can double Dongyang's population. Do you believe it?"
Dean Guo was stunned for two seconds, smiled slightly and said nothing.
Obviously he doesn't believe it.
It took the old leader twenty years to increase Dongyang's population from 20,000 to 50,000.
Double in one year?
A little too idealistic, he is still a child after all.
She changed the subject and said, "The finance department has calculated the bill. How can we give it to you?"
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Su Tao didn't say much and told her the account number of the public account managed by Qian Rongrong.
Then the two chatted about the situation in the maternity and child health hospital, and before they knew it, it was almost dark.
As soon as Su Tao returned to Taoyang, she saw Qian Rongrong rushing over excitedly and asking:
"Sister Taozi, have you made a fortune? We suddenly have an extra six million federal coins and over a million contribution points in our account!"
Everyone in the office looked over.
Zhuang Wan stared and asked, "The old leader is looking for you. Is he here to give you money?"
Su Tao glared at her:
"You're daydreaming right after dark. You're paid to do something. Okay, okay, it's almost ten o'clock, why are you still hanging around? Do you want me to buy you a midnight snack?"
Everyone took the opportunity to ask the boss to treat them to a midnight snack and wish them good luck and prosperity.
Su Tao was happy to have earned a large sum of money. She searched for treasures in the food store for a long time and bought forty self-heating hot pots for everyone to have a lively midnight snack.
The fragrance drifted over the wall and outside, causing the survivors around Taoyang to look inside with eyes full of longing.
It turns out that people living in Taoyang can not only fill their stomachs, but also eat such delicious food.
Some people touched the half piece of dry bread in their arms, their stomachs growling, and they were reluctant to eat it.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Su Tao sat up from the bed, turned on the system, and took out the 35 crystal cores given by the old leader from Fang Zhi's space.
Thirty crystal cores were consumed to gain the management authority of Dongyang Maternal and Child Health Medical Area.
Soon, a large green area appeared on the Taoyang map.
Click on this area to clearly view every detail of the maternal and child health care area.
For the time being, Su Tao does not plan to spend too much money and time to rebuild the maternal and child health care area. The old leader built it quite well, so it is enough to maintain it well. She can wait until there are too many mothers and newborns to accommodate it in the future.
So she just installed a few cameras, renovated the restroom, built a water room and so on.
Otherwise, we have to find someone to deliver water to the maternity and child hospital every month, which is troublesome.
Finally, looking at the account with a total asset of more than 11 million, Su Tao took a deep breath and spent 3 million to build a protective shield to cover the maternal and child health care area in a safe zone.
At the same time, expectant mothers waiting to give birth in the delivery room of the maternal and child health care area suddenly felt cooler.
Some who were still awake quietly started to communicate:
"Why do I feel like the temperature has dropped? I was sweating just now."
"Hey, I thought I was the only one with this illusion. It's a lot cooler now. My morning sickness has gotten much better."
Tao Xue, the wife of the Dongyang Power Grid Bureau director, who knew something about the situation and was also expecting a baby, lit up when she heard this and sent a message to her husband:
"Did Taoyang take over the maternity and children's hospital?"
Director Qiu of the Power Grid Bureau was still hurt by the loss of three crystal cores by his old boss, so he replied in a sullen mood after seeing the news:
"I took it. Who wouldn't want to take so many crystal cores? Hey, how did you know?"
Tao Xue was very happy:
"It's suddenly cooler here. I heard that Taoyang is like spring all year round and the temperature is just right, but I didn't have a direct experience of it. Now I know it's really comfortable. The baby in my belly is calming down. In the past, I couldn't sleep because I was too hot, and he couldn't sleep well either, and when he couldn't sleep well, he would kick me."
When Director Qiu saw this reply, he felt a little better.
At least his wife was the first to enjoy it. Some cadres who were forced to hand over the crystal cores did not even have any pregnant relatives at home.
Tao Xue touched her belly and suddenly thought of something. She quickly typed a line of words:
"Your sister has been married for three years, right? When does she plan to have a child?"
Director Qiu replied:
"It's been three years, and I'm planning to have a baby soon. Why are you asking this?"
Tao Xue thought he was stupid: "You are stupid, wait until your sister gets pregnant and bring her to Dongyang to take care of the baby, it will be so comfortable and safe."
Director Qiu thought about it and felt that it was right, but he still had some concerns:
"She's in Wutai. Wutai is much more developed than our Dongyang. Her husband is the deputy mayor, so he will definitely arrange things for her. Besides, the way here is not safe, and it's still quite far away."
Tao Xue is unwilling:
"No matter how good it gets, it won't be this good. As for safety, Xiao Ding is coming to Taoyang to buy supplies anyway, so we can just send her over. That's it. I'll give her a call tomorrow to ask."
The sudden drop in temperature in the maternal and child health care area was felt not only by the mothers but also by the nurses and doctors on duty.
Two young nurses went out for a walk together and also felt it was unusually cool. When they were about to go a little further out, they found that they seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall and could not get through.
After groping around for a while, I finally found that there was an extra gate in front of the building, and the only way out was through this gate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they went out, the hot air pushed them back.
The two opened their eyes wide.
This and the outside world are not the same world at all.
So that night, the news that "the temperature in the Maternity and Child Health Hospital dropped sharply and Taoyang took over" spread overnight in Dongyang.
The next day, when Su Tao was about to find Gan Hongyu and the others to learn about the details of the launch of the "Taoyang Official Website", she saw Fan Chuanhui going out with his camera on his back.
Upon asking, it turned out that they were rushing to the Maternity and Child Health Hospital to shoot materials, preparing to promote them on the newly launched Taoyang official website.
Su Tao laughed and let him go.
When she arrived at the small conference room, Gan Hongyu and the others were already waiting. When she arrived, they excitedly told her about the online situation:
"It's more popular than I expected. Yesterday, the pageviews reached over 100,000, and each functional interface averaged 60,000 to 70,000 views. The most clicked section was 'Supplies Wanted'. You can ask Mr. Lin, who is in charge of this section."
Lin Fangzhi stayed up late last night to process the news. He looked tired and paused for two seconds before sending the order information he had sorted out to Su Tao.
Su Tao took a look and was also frightened.
There are more than twenty orders in total, all of which have paid deposits and are waiting for shipment.
There are still hundreds of orders added to the shopping cart waiting to be paid.
And more than a thousand consultations.
Su Tao touched Lin Fangzhi's head distressedly: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll ask Zhuang Wan to recruit two customer service representatives for you."
Lin Fangzhi nodded vigorously.
Meng Qian also has a lot of work to do.
A lot of people apply for housing through the official website because the webpage allows them to intuitively see the conditions of each room type, and the photos alone are enough to make people excited.
Only Zhuang Wan has more free time.
Because I didn’t post any recruitment information, I avoided the bombardment of messages.
But judging by everyone's current workload, a new round of recruitment is about to begin, and she won't have a few days of rest.
After understanding the general situation, Su Tao thought for a moment and said:
"Hongyu, I want you to create another sub-page to hold missing persons and relatives information. If anyone has any clues, please provide them to the backstage."
Jiang Yu, who was in the dark, felt his heart beating faster when he heard this.
As Taoyang becomes more famous, the number of page views will skyrocket.
Gan Hongyu and Feng An nodded at the same time: "This is easy, it can be done in three days."
Su Tao thanked him.
She wants to run this missing person and family search page for free to help more people in the end times find their lost families.
As Taoyang becomes more and more famous, more and more people will visit their official website, and the more likely it is that the news of missing people and relatives will be spread.
After arranging all this, Jiang Yu walked out from the shadows, moved his lips, and was about to say something.
Meng Xiaobo came running over panting:
"Boss, the guy who said he was your second brother is here again, but he doesn't seem to be looking for a job. He looks very proud and even said he brought you a gift."
