"Alright then, I'll call you Brother Liang?"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "I've really gotten used to calling you 'leader.' Even though we're both in the guard team now, I still respect you the most."
Zhu Shiliang blushed and rolled his eyes, "Then I really have to thank you!"
After he finished speaking, he burst into laughter.
There was nothing he could do; his former subordinate was doing much better than him, which put him under immense pressure.
However, he is not a coy person, and acknowledging the excellence of others is not a difficult thing for him.
Moreover, he was able to join the guard team smoothly because he had such good subordinates.
Although he became busier at work after coming here, he didn't have much time to spend with his wife and son.
But he knew that what he learned here was something that ordinary organizations would never have access to. Moreover, those skills would be of great help in his survival.
Therefore, he was grateful and had no regrets.
Thinking of this, Zhu Shiliang nodded, "It's time to go back. I left in a hurry back then, and I don't know how everyone is doing."
As he spoke, a smile played on his lips, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
Yu Shui nodded in agreement. "I wanted to go back and visit the week I returned from Suzhou. But when I got back to my workplace, I found that the entire building was sealed off, and there was a big 'Danger' sign on it."
"That means the building was poorly constructed and couldn't withstand the destructive force of an earthquake, so everyone moved out," Cui Xian said.
“Yes, but I don’t know where they moved to.” Yu Shui glanced at Zhu Shiliang and said cautiously, “I really wanted to ask Brother Liang at that time, but I was afraid that he didn’t have the same idea, and it would be awkward to be pointed out for no reason.”
Zhu Shiliang was both amused and exasperated. "You're really overthinking things, kid. While I wouldn't say I single-handedly built that place, I certainly poured my heart and soul into it. I've been working there since I graduated, for over a decade! You can't just let go of the feelings you've invested in it!"
He then shook his head, "However, they were busy during that time, so even if we went back, we wouldn't be able to find them."
"Hmm? Why haven't I heard the boss mention this before?" Yu Shui asked, puzzled.
"I told you not to call me 'boss,' why do you still do? Even if you just call me Brother Zhu, it sounds better than 'boss.' Otherwise, I always feel like you're mocking me."
After Zhu Shiliang finished complaining, he explained, "Do you remember why we came back from Suzhou?"
We returned to Haishi because the cities around the epicenter that suffered less damage were prepared to accept the displaced refugees.
Our former colleagues were doing reception work during that period.
"Yes, just like last winter when we received the people from North Harbin seeking refuge from the cold, we arranged for them to stay in empty rooms and were also responsible for delivering relief food to them."
"That was much more troublesome than the reception work last year," Chen Qing remarked.
"Of course, last year we only suffered from the cold, and once we brought people in, we hardly had to worry about them anymore."
But the people who came this time had nothing, and they were all injured. The little bit of relief food the guards gave them could only keep them from starving to death.
So our former colleagues not only have to settle people down, but also provide them with psychological counseling, and even help them find jobs.
Oh, that's terrible!
Zhu Shiliang didn't know whether he should be glad they didn't have to take over this mess.
"Brother Liang, how did you know?" Yu Shui asked.
"Director Hong said so. She successfully took over my job. Since I wasn't in Haishi, I often went to your sister-in-law to complain," Zhu Shiliang said with a smile.
"Oh, she also knows Sister Shuling?"
"We're all from the same circle, and we've even traveled together before, how could we not know each other?"
"Oh, I forgot, hehe, that time at Qingli Mountain, right?"
“Yes, that’s the time. They exchanged phone numbers and became friends.” Zhu Shiliang smiled gently. “I just got home, and before your sister-in-law could even ask a couple of questions about Su City, she launched into a long tirade about Director Hong’s complaints.”
Yu Shui chuckled, "Then it seems the work is quite difficult. Otherwise, someone as capable as Sister Hong wouldn't be complaining endlessly."
Zhu Shiliang nodded, "Yes, they have it tough. Especially when dealing with these disaster victims, you can't be too lenient or too harsh in managing them."
Yu Shui asked, "When are we going back? We have to work from Monday to Friday this week, and when we have a holiday, they need to rest too."
Shen Yanming quickly chimed in, "Yes, timing is indeed a problem. Although we can slowly look for opportunities later, it's never good to be too late."
Zhu Shiliang stroked his chin thoughtfully, and after a long while sighed, "We haven't even established ourselves here yet. Would it be a bad idea to ask for leave rashly?"
At this point, everyone fell silent.
Shen Yanming laughed, "If it really doesn't work, then Qiao An and I will go back."
I'm new here and can't get involved in the finances. Joan is also heavily pregnant, so whether she goes to work or not isn't important.
If we both take leave, it won't have much of an impact. We'll convey everyone's concern and apologies, and I believe our colleagues will understand.
Moreover, although they cared about the work of the guard team, they didn't have as many concerns as the others.
Zhu Shiliang shook his head after hearing this, "How can I let you take the lead? I was a leader there before, so I should go back and visit my subordinates."
So, on Friday, I asked my boss for leave to see if I could get three hours off.
Let's keep it short and sweet, and be back quickly; we should be able to make it to evening training.
Shen Yanming nodded, having no objection.
"Well, I also want to go back and see them." Yu Shui said anxiously, "I can't bear to leave them. If I can get leave, I'll go with you."
“Okay!” Zhu Shiliang replied.
As for Chen Qing and Cui Xian, they remained silent. They hadn't decided whether taking leave out of nostalgia was worth it.
Li Yinhe smiled smugly, "I didn't even need to ask for leave, because I was on the night shift that day!"
"Damn!" Yu Shui then realized that there was a guy among them who worked three shifts.
Chen Qing and Cui Xian's eyes lit up upon hearing this. That's right, they could also find someone to switch shifts with!
That's right, that's the good thing about warehouse management. There are several administrators for each warehouse, taking turns on duty. If something really happens, switching shifts isn't a big problem.
After the matter was settled, Shen Yanming took out his phone and saw that it was almost ten o'clock.
He quickly said to everyone, "It's getting late, go back to sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow."
Zhu Shiliang nodded and called them to head towards the dormitory, but Yu Shui turned around and said, "What, want to go home and be all lovey-dovey with Qiao An?"
Shen Yanming laughed and scolded, "Yeah, what, are you jealous? Being jealous won't help. If you're so capable, go find a wife yourself!"
As she spoke, she hugged Bi Qiaoan and kissed her on the cheek, then raised an eyebrow at Yu Shui with a smug look.
Yu Shui stomped her feet in anger, "Damn it, are you trying to kill me? I'm already exhausted during the day, and now I have to suffer through this dog food midnight snack?"
Shen Yanming laughed loudly at his furious back, while Bi Qiaoan beside him yawned and shed tears, completely unaware of what they were arguing about.
