Chapter 177 Distribution According to Work
When Xu Sichen was enjoying the sour, spicy, salty and fresh pickled fish, Wang Anjun came up to him.
"Something's wrong? Is the project progressing smoothly?"
She wants to be a hands-off boss, so it's best not to come to her unless necessary.
Wang Anjun looked at the girl in front of him with an impatient look on her face, as if she didn't want to get involved, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Although the base commander often has a cold face and seems difficult to get along with, he is actually easier to talk to than anyone else.
Basically, she will give whatever the people below apply for.
And it is precisely because of this kind of temperament that the people under him are more determined to protect this hard-earned base and the hard-earned base commander.
Wang Anjun: "No, it's just that we're way over schedule, so I wanted to report to you on our next work plan."
The design drawings of the city wall have all been completed.
All the ruins outside were also cleared away.
We can start building the wall tomorrow night.
The overall design draft of the base has also been completed and can be reviewed tomorrow.
If all goes well, the wall will be completed in ten days and all base projects will be completed in one month.
As he listened, even the usually calm Xu Sichen couldn't help but stop eating.
"How come it's so fast? Could it be some shoddy construction?"
Having said that, Xu Sichen's lazy eyes became sharp, which made Wang Anjun shudder.
Even the cafeteria staff who were preparing dinner far away from them couldn't help but shiver.
"Oh my goodness, Captain Wang has angered the base commander. His aura is so scary!"
Wang Anjun was afraid that Xu Sichen really thought they wanted to cut corners, so he quickly explained.
"How could that be? If there's even a shoddy finish on the project, we'll be willing to pay with our heads on the table!"
Xu Sichen then returned to his lazy look and continued eating.
Wang Anjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the girl was young, her aura was truly unmatched.
"Mr. Chen and his designers worked tirelessly to create the blueprints. They said they couldn't sleep well until the city wall was finished, so they wanted to finish it as soon as possible."
"We previously hired more than 600 workers, but every night there are nearly 2,000 people working. Because of the large number of people, the speed of clearing the surrounding debris is much faster."
"Base Commander, don't worry. We will never let anyone destroy the place we have finally secured. Even they themselves won't allow it."
These words made the eyes of the chefs nearby redden, and some even couldn't help but shout, "Yes, the Morning Light Base is my home. If anyone dares to destroy it, I will fight them to the death."
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
…
Xu Sichen's face darkened: "...Cook well and don't spit saliva into the rice!"
After saying that, he put down the dishes in his hands, stood up and walked out.
Wang Anjun hurried to follow.
Xu Sichen walked slowly, as if he was taking a walk to digest his food after dinner.
Actually, it is true. I am really a little full after eating.
Before I knew it, I had reached the edge of the base. After walking around, I discovered that there were indeed many more people in the ruins than the number of people I had recruited.
Among them were men, women, young and old, and some were even missing a hand, digging stones on the ground.
Xu Sichen stepped forward suspiciously: "Your hands are so inconvenient, why did you come out? Is there no one home?"
The one-armed young man, sweating profusely as he worked, heard the voice and said subconsciously, "I'm free anyway, so I'll give you a stone if I can."
Xu Sichen's voice was a little cold: "There's no salary, isn't this asking for trouble?"
"If I don't have a salary, then I don't have a salary. Anyway, my father and brother don't need me to eat." The one-armed young man looked up at the other party. When he saw the appearance in front of him clearly, he stood up immediately and stuttered with fear.
"Captain, I didn't know it was you."
Xu Sichen: "Now that you know it's me, can you tell me why you came here to do free labor?"
The one-armed young man said nervously, "I, I just wanted to come over to help. Really, with my current body, I can't do much work, so I definitely can't ask for a salary."
When the people around heard the noise, they all looked over. The moment they saw Xu Sichen, they all stood up awkwardly.
Seeing the young man's face pale with nervousness, Wang Anjun stepped forward and said, "Base Commander, all the people coming here not only don't get paid, they don't even want the meals we prepared for them."
Hearing this, Xu Sichen's face turned even colder: "Oh, those who don't want salary or work meals, don't let them come here in the future."
For a moment, everyone around was at a loss. They just stood there in a daze, looking as if they had done something wrong.
Wang Anjun was a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "Base Commander, why is this?"
Xu Sichen: "The basic principle of my foundation is to reward merit and punish mistakes, and to distribute according to work, rather than to promote selfless dedication."
"At the end of selfless dedication, there will always be a group of people who sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. My base does not need such people."
Hearing this, Wang Anjun felt something stirring in his heart. Finally, he said tentatively, "Then according to the base commander's opinion..."
Xu Sichen: "All those who voluntarily participate in the labor will be paid according to their contributions, and work meals will be provided!"
As soon as he finished speaking, intermittent gasps were heard from the ruins.
Xu Sichen was most impatient with this kind of sentimental atmosphere and turned around to leave, but she didn't know when the two children came to her and grabbed one of her corners.
Xu Sichen lowered her head and saw two big-headed dolls standing below, looking at her expectantly.
"What's up?"
The voice was as cold as ever.
The child flinched, but finally mustered up the courage to speak boldly, "Sister Base Commander, are you serious? If my sister and I work, can we still have food to eat?"
Seeing Xu Sichen didn't answer, the little boy said anxiously: "We can really work. We can dig stones and move garbage. My sister and I just need a meal."
The one-armed young man seemed a little reluctant and helped to speak up, "Captain, these two kids have indeed been helping to dig rocks tonight."
Just when the little boy was about to cry, Xu Sichen said calmly, "Okay! But I'm going to keep my word. Anyone who works can get a work meal, including your sister."
Upon hearing this, the little boy quickly pulled out the little girl hiding behind him and bowed repeatedly to Xu Sichen to express his gratitude.
Then he ran towards a person not far away with a grin on his face, saying something unknown.
Wang Anjun looked at them and reported to Xu Sichen in a low voice: "Base Commander, a family of nine entered our base during the day. According to our investigation, they are most likely from Haichuan."
