Chapter 544: Civil Engineering's Spring, Company Expansion

"This is outrageous! The demonic cult raided the cemetery, causing the underground spiritual veins to melt! Over a thousand casualties! Experts say repairing the spiritual veins will cost tens of thousands of spiritual coins!"

"The demonic cult has hijacked the spirit world, and the university city's defensive formations have become accomplices in the massacre! The entire city's formations urgently need to be updated!"

"Many magnetic channels have been severely damaged. What was once the lifeblood of the city has now become a vicious beast that devours life! University City has issued a red alert, suspending all magnetic channels throughout the city! They have promised to complete repairs as soon as possible."

Looking at the news reports, Tulishan sighed, "This demonic cult is truly ruthless. Not only are they plundering everywhere, they've also destroyed anti-gravity channels, magnetic channels, mana circuits, psychic circuits, and all sorts of gravity, temperature, and humidity control equipment throughout the university town."

"It also destroyed the entire city's formation."

"They didn't even spare the student dormitories. This demonic cult is truly evil. Damn...why didn't they demolish the teacher dormitories too?"

"Dear students, we have a difficult task ahead of us in the coming days. It all depends on us to repair the entire city. We must not let down the teachers and students throughout this city."

Tulishan thought to himself, "Ah, if the Demon Cult could attack once a year, my Tumu School would surely become the greatest of all schools."

Looking at the uncontrollable smile on Tulishan's face, Ying Xin and Shi Yunxiang below looked at each other, their minds filled with fear.

Ying Xin thought to herself, "Damn...we only destroyed the mana circuit of one magnetic channel, right?"

Shi Yunxiang: "Who blew up all the magnetic channels in the city?"

After the economic crisis, the unemployment wave gradually eased.

In the university town of Wanfa University, with many people dying, going bankrupt, and disappearing, there was even a scramble for workers.

Due to the wanton destruction caused by the Demon Cult and the launch of various infrastructure projects, the demand for students in the Civil Engineering Department was in short supply, and the students entered a happy time with classes every day.

Zhang Yu felt the vitality of the construction site and looked at the workers' faces full of radiance and happy smiles after working overtime. At this moment, he had to admit that after experiencing the attack of the Demon Cult, the economy of the university town seemed to have become more active.

Fu Ji said, "Kunxu is like this. Sometimes it's all about who can endure longer. As long as you can survive a wave of disasters, those who survive will reap the benefits."

Zhang Yu nodded, and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to make money and prepare for his next task of refining the prototype machine.

Next, Zhang Yu took on a number of projects from the Equipment Refining Department in the name of the company.

Although the reconstruction of various parts of the university town cannot be separated from the construction of the Civil Engineering Department, many of the projects are managed by the Equipment Refining Department.

For example, the magnetic channel and anti-gravity channel that runs through the entire city are the result of investments from the Equipment Refining Department, which is also responsible for the manufacture and layout of related equipment.

With his status as a weapon-refining specialist and his relationship with the True Lord of Magnetic Pole, Zhang Yu was able to take on many projects that required little work but brought in a lot of income.

But with more projects taking place across the city nowadays, workers have become more valuable.

After all, the more workers there are, the higher the construction efficiency, the more projects can be taken on, and the sooner they can be completed.

However, the number of employees in Zhang Yu’s company is obviously not enough for him.

So with the end of the economic crisis, Zhang Yu began to expand the company again.

The first people Zhang Yu recruited were those from the Civil Engineering Department who had gone bankrupt with him.

…

Tulishan looked at Ying Xin in front of him, frowned and said, "Are you sure you want to leave?"

"My salary is about to increase."

"There will be more projects to do next than you can finish. I guarantee you'll be working overtime until you graduate and still have fun."

"And aren't you already working part-time as an accountant for Zhang Yu? Isn't that enough?

When Ying Xin heard the words "salary increase is coming soon", she was slightly stunned and seemed to be quite interested.

But after thinking about it, she said, "I promised Zhang Yu that I would go to his company and work as an accountant while working on the construction site."

Tulishan said helplessly: "Alas, how can Zhang Yu's new company compare to the veterans here?"

"How about this, it's fine for you to go first, but I'll always keep the door open and welcome you back."

At this moment, the entire university town is full of projects, and Tulishan's men are in need of people. It can be said that every additional worker means an extra penny earned, and his attitude towards students is better than ever before.

Not long after Ying Xin left, Shi Yunxiang also came over and made the same request to Tulishan.

Hearing that the other party was also going to Zhang Yu's company, Tulishan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself: "How much money did Zhang Yu spend to poach him?"

The next day, seeing Xiao Qingxuan also wanting to change jobs, Tulishan was even more surprised: "Have you thought it through?"

"It's not easy to find a job after graduation, especially in a departmental company, which is a well-known brand in the civil engineering industry."

"If I were you, I would work there steadily for ten years to gain more experience, rather than jumping to a new company with an uncertain future."

Xiao Qingxuan insisted: "Teacher, I have made up my mind, just let me go."

…

It is impossible to say that Tulishan didn't feel uncomfortable after being poached by Zhang Yu for several consecutive days.

But thinking of the True Lord of Magnetic Pole and Director Gao behind the other party, he pretended nothing had happened.

That day, when he saw Zhang Yu leading people to work at the construction site, Tulishan greeted him with a smile.

Looking at the various powerful medicines Zhang Yu distributed, Tulishan asked, "Do you give these to your employees every day?"

Zhang Yu said, "Eating this will make you work harder."

Tulishan thought to himself, "It's really different now that the boss has changed. Even the employees in good health can't handle eating this every day."

However, seeing Shi Yunxiang and the others willingly taking the medicine, Tulishan secretly gave Zhang Yu a thumbs up: "Amazing."

He sent a message to Zhang Yu: You are good at training your employees.

Naturally, Zhang Yu couldn't tell the other party that with his and Le Mulan's deep cold veins, as well as Xiao Qingxuan's ancient medical skills, he could help the employees eliminate the side effects of the tiger and wolf medicine.

So Zhang Yu replied: It's just a trick

Tulishan: This is no small trick. It must have taken a lot of effort to make them take the medicine willingly, right?

Tulishan: When will we exchange experiences?

Tulishan was really curious about what methods Zhang Yu used to train his employees that could allow him to exploit them to death.

Just as the two of them smiled at each other, Shi Huaiyu came over and said, "Master, I plan to jump to Zhang Yu's company."

If Xiao Qingxuan's resignation only surprised Tulishan, then Shi Huaiyu's job change made Tulishan a little angry.

Especially now that Shi Huaiyu has become a key student in the Department of Civil Engineering, with the Seven Wonders of Civil Engineering, he has a great chance of obtaining a military certificate in the future and cultivating the divine power of moving mountains in Kunlun. In Tulishan's eyes, he is also a disciple with a very high return rate.

Thinking that this disciple was going to jump to Zhang Yu's company and be severely exploited by the other party, Tulishan took a deep breath, and the golden skeleton on his body was shining with the light of magic circuits, which meant that the circulation of his magic power had just accelerated a bit.

Looking at the graceful disciple in front of him, Tulishan couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to Zhang Yu's company too?"

Seeing Shi Huaiyu nod, Tulishan looked around and didn't want anyone to hear the subsequent conversation, so he sent a private message: Confused!

Tulishan: Why don’t you work hard in a legitimate civil engineering company here, and go to Zhang Yu’s newly founded small company?

Tulishan: Don’t think that your relationship with him is different just because you have played games with him. He will only use this to suppress your salary and make more money from you.

Shi Huaiyu opened his mouth, wanting to say a lot, but found that there was nothing he could say. In the end, thousands of words turned into just one sentence.

Shi Huaiyu: Zhang Yu is different.

Tulishan said with deep sorrow: "Different? What's the difference?"

Tulishan: Let me tell you, all company bosses are the same. I know what’s going on in their heads too well!

Tulishan: Their minds are full of filth. They just think about how to exploit you, how to lower your wages, and how to make you work more and get less pay!

Tulishan: You should listen to your master and stay here and work hard. After graduation, you will become a full-time employee and work in the office as a manager.

Shi Huaiyu said helplessly: Master, I have already promised Zhang Yu

Tulishan continued to persuade him: Shi Huaiyu, I have trained you for so many years, not to let you die on the construction site, but so that you can leave the construction site and help me make a lot of money in the future.

Shi Huaiyu: Master, Zhang Yu is really different

Shi Huaiyu: I believe that after I follow him, I will be able to earn more in the future

Shi Huaiyu: Anyway, I will definitely go to Zhang Yu's company

Shi Huaiyu: Anyway, I have a temporary employment relationship with the company in the department. If you don't agree, forget it.

Looking at Shi Huaiyu turning around and running towards Zhang Yu, Tulishan angrily sent a message: If you dare to go, don't even think about working overtime when you come back!

Shi Huaiyu: Master, don't worry. Zhang Yu promised me that after I go there, he will use me for 24 hours of overtime.

Seeing Shi Huaiyu take the tiger and wolf medicine from Zhang Yu and swallow it without thinking, Tulishan felt a pang of heartache.

Tulishan: Did he lie to you and say he could take you to the Equipment Refining Department?

Tulishan: I tell you, the boss's words are all lies, you can't believe a word of what he says, that's why he can't take you to the Refining Department

Shi Huaiyu: Zhang Yu did not say this

Shi Huaiyu: I just want to work under him

Shi Huaiyu: Okay, let's talk after I get off work. Mr. Zhang doesn't like employees chatting during work.

Seeing Shi Huaiyu's diligent work, Tulishan couldn't help but look at Zhang Yu and sent a message: Huaiyu is the student that the department will focus on training next.

Tulishan: Give her less medicine, don't damage her body

Zhang Yu: Don't worry, Mr. Tu, I will be careful with my people.

Tulishan gritted his teeth and said inwardly, "First it was the magnetic pole, then it was Zhang Yu. Is the weapon refining department still teaching how to recruit people in class now?"

In addition to Ying Xin, Shi Yunxiang, Xiao Qingxuan, and Shi Huaiyu from the Civil Engineering Department, Zhang Yu naturally had to recruit a group of soul cultivators to do the work.

Considering the good quality and low price, Zhang Yu introduced a group of bankrupt talents from the Songyang fellow villagers.

With this wave of expansion of the company, the construction efficiency of the entire team soared, allowing Zhang Yu to take on more projects, and his monthly income in this area quickly approached 30 spirit coins.

The more crucial point is that as the project gets on track, Zhang Yu needs to intervene less and less.

In particular, he also has Fuji to help him with various trivial matters free of charge, supervising finances and managing employees.

So Zhang Yu only needs to take a few days every month to go to the construction site to use Tian Kunlun's magical power to move mountains to complete some big jobs.

The company's income can be regarded as his passive income.

Adding the 40 Lingbi lab subsidy, Zhang Yu could maintain a monthly income of nearly 70 Lingbi, despite having plenty of free time. Furthermore, Zhang Yu knew that once the reimbursements from the companies of Jiji and Director Gao resumed, and his sister's repayments continued, his monthly profits would increase again.

With such confidence, Zhang Yu could finally start refining the prototype of Tianri Huangshen with peace of mind.
