Having successfully resolved the matter with Ace, Jiang Shuyin happily reported the good news to her teacher.

They were probably too busy to reply promptly.

In her spare time at home, she would refresh the task information. She didn't look at the simple tasks because almost as soon as she refreshed the page, someone would rush to do them, and the price per task kept dropping. The competition was fierce.

Large-scale, long-term missions are also available, but very few people accept them.

For example... the Western Development Project.

We are recruiting several engineers, workers, and teachers. We welcome all applicants, from junior to senior technicians. Basically, we want anyone, and those with some skills will receive even better compensation.

Since the reconciliation, the government has allocated a piece of land to the Shule tribe for autonomy. The western region is vast and sparsely populated. As long as they acknowledge their identity as citizens of China and establish friendly relations, no one will interfere with their lives.

But people haven't forgotten the news that was exposed before. Everyone is wondering, once the people are gone, will the Shule tribe treat them as human beings?

When you go there, you're a whole person; when you come back, you won't be in pieces, will you?

With this attitude, very few people are willing to take the risk, which is why staff need to go out and promote it.

Zhang Lei is good-looking and has a pleasant voice. She went out and brought back more than 300 people.

They were all found from remote mountain villages, and they didn't know anything about Schuler's past. Besides, when she found them, they couldn't even afford to eat, so they figured it was better to live than to die.

Schuler sent someone to pick her up. The man's eyes were fixed on Zhang Lei with intense gaze. Zhang Lei suppressed her discomfort and negotiated with him: "Baru, guess who I met this time?"

Balu didn't bother guessing; he just wanted to pin this woman down and give her a good good time: "Hmm?"

Zhang Lei cursed inwardly for being boring: "It's Jiang Shuyin." Afraid he might forget, she quickly added, "The woman who ran away earlier, causing you to be surrounded, have you forgotten?"

The lustful look on Balu's face slowly faded: "If you can't forget her, why are you bringing her up?"

Zhang Lei stared at him: "It's nothing, I just chatted with her for a bit. I asked her if she remembered you guys, and she got pretty angry and ignored me."

This time, Balu's eyes finally held the anger she had been waiting for: "Do you know where she is?"

"She must have gone back to Anshi, that's where her home is." Zhang Lei secretly rejoiced, already eager to see Jiang Shuyin be dragged back by this group of barbarians driven by their lower bodies.

As Zhang Lei wished, after Balu returned with his men, he called the young master and said, "You've always had her in your heart. Balu will bring her back for you, so we can have another one."

Avery, barely suppressing his urge, retorted, "Who told you that? I don't need anyone to make decisions for me, get out—"

Even though he wasn't by the young master's side, Balu was still being scolded so badly that he couldn't lift his head while holding the communicator: "Your subordinate deserves to die, you deserve to die, get out of here."

Baru waited respectfully for his young master to hang up the phone, his glare sweeping over the people in the car, ready to vent his anger on them later.

But the call never ended, and Balu didn't dare to ask.

Having finally heard news of her, Avery was reluctant to hang up: "...Come back and do me a favor."

Balu quickly lowered his head and listened attentively.

“Didn’t Lu Qiuying want us to set up a branch factory in the high-tech development zone? Can you go there for me?”

The Southern Base is temporarily unavailable, and Avery is troubled by the fact that his own men are captivated by women.

Originally, I wanted to appoint Long Ying as the acting president. Her abilities were barely acceptable, and her intelligence was passable. The key was that she had a relationship with someone, but unfortunately, she was a woman.

Among the remaining candidates, Pei Yi, who had recently joined the company, was mentioned many times, but when the people at Avery discovered Pei Yi's relationship with Long Ying, another suitable candidate was passed over.

Avery pressed his brow, picked up the photo frame from the table. The woman in the photo stood in the wind, outlining a beautiful curve on one side, her gaze straight and indifferent.

He could never get enough of looking at it.

"I want to see you...and our child..."

Avery pressed his forehead against the photograph and murmured softly.

The unruly and aloof boy has grown into a man, only willing to show her his vulnerable side.

"Have you heard? They're hiring in the High-tech Zone. It's not close to here, but it's better than working in other places. I can come back every day and earn 200 task points a day!"

“My husband, Lao Li, is currently unemployed at home. He used to work on construction sites for twenty years, so we definitely need him. I’ll go back and talk to him right away.”

"How many people are you recruiting? Can my son go? He dropped out of school a long time ago. Instead of staying home all day, he should start earning money and getting married."

Ever since the notice was issued that they were hiring, there has been a lot of discussion in the squares of various residential areas. There are too many people in Anshi, and even more people are idle at home. Now that they heard about the job openings, even people who are rarely on the go have come downstairs to inquire.

The community staff told the women, "We're recruiting several thousand people this time, with both educated and uneducated applicants. Please be quiet and listen to me..."

Zheng Lanxiang wanted to join in the fun, but Jiang Shuyin stopped her: "Aren't you going to help me look after the child? You can't drive, and I'm worried about your long commute to and from get off work."

Zheng Lanxiang smiled and sighed, "Then forget it. I don't know what I can still do at my age."

"You can do anything, but there are limited job openings right now, so you shouldn't compete with the breadwinners who need to support their families."

The first snow of winter came naturally. After several days of temperature drop, one morning I opened the window and saw snowflakes falling slowly into the air.

Anshi is located in the south and rarely sees snow; it mostly gets hail.

More concerned than the public's joy, the higher authorities were concerned about whether the snow would escalate into a snow disaster. The province urgently summoned the top leaders of all cities to a meeting, and that afternoon the city summoned people from all departments, large and small, to a meeting as well.

After the meeting, the publicity department worked overtime to compile and deliver notices and disaster prevention measures to the public.

The farm needs to increase production to help people stockpile goods and ensure that every household has enough food. Jiang Jianli is exhausted every day before he can go home, and he doesn't even have the strength to speak.

Huang Li was also in her late pregnancy and could only sleep on her side. Her iliac crests turned red from lying on her side, and her ears were also irritated by the pressure, causing pimples. She couldn't sleep all night long.

Seeing Jiang Jianli sleeping like a log, she was so angry that she kicked him, but the kick didn't wake him up and she almost fell off the bed herself.

Special operations units also have tasks. Field personnel like Jiang Shuyin also need to patrol, working one day on and two days off, with a working time of 12 hours.

The compensation has been improved, with an additional 1,000 yuan subsidy on top of the basic monthly salary of 3,000 yuan. Other benefits are also included. If an unexpected situation is handled successfully, an additional 500-5,000 task points will be awarded, depending on the circumstances.

In order to keep her secure job, Jiang Shu resigned.
