As expected, Lu Yuan guessed correctly. Sun Tao did not intend to let things go after leaving this time. Sun Tao was a leader of an underground monopoly force that had been operating in Shanxi Province for many years. If he wanted to manage the various connections here to monopolize the market, he certainly could not rely on his ruthless methods and thugs alone.
After all, there are too many capable people in this world, and fighting is definitely not an option. After all, we live in a society governed by law now, and fighting casually could lead to imprisonment. Sun Tao isn't stupid; he's better at using his political acumen and connections to play dirty tricks on people.
While telling Lu Yuan about Sun Tao's past misdeeds, Wang Laosi advised Lu Yuan not to go against Sun Tao. Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. Sun Tao had done many things like murder and drug trafficking. Moreover, he had employed hundreds of thugs, all of whom were bloodthirsty ruthless characters he had poached from underground boxing rings in various places.
These people all had blood on their hands. If someone didn't have blood on their hands, they basically couldn't get into Sun Tao's circle. This was the main reason why Sun Tao was able to dominate the nearby coal mines for a time.
These past few days, Lu Yuan has been busy at the base. The foundation has now been completely laid and the cement has mostly dried. The next step is to start laying bricks and building houses on the foundation. Various large-scale machinery and equipment are shuttling back and forth throughout the base.
Because of the shortage of personnel at the base, Lu Yuan took on the temporary dispatching role today. Whenever a department was short of personnel, Lu Yuan would make reasonable allocations based on the personnel list. During this period, Lu Yuan learned a lot from Chen Bin.
After all, Lu Yuan was just a greenhorn. He had only worked as a salesman for a short time and had not had much contact with management. Moreover, Lu Yuan was not a particularly talkative person. However, since he arrived in the apocalypse with the resource space, Lu Yuan had gradually learned some small skills for communicating with strangers due to his survival instinct.
I originally thought my management skills were sufficient, but after learning from Chen Bin for this period of time, I realized that I still have many shortcomings.
Xiao Shan and several female workers were busy from five in the morning until noon. They shouted to everyone that lunch was served, and everyone cheered and put down their work to get their food.
Lu Yuan has a clear rule at the base: eat well and work well. So he will never take advantage of the workers' work time to delay their meals, unless there are some particularly urgent matters that require him to be busy. Other workers eat on time.
This is also a particularly fortunate aspect for the people in the entire base. After all, Lu Yuan kept his word, and they have already regarded him as a legend in their hearts. After all, he single-handedly took on the responsibility of feeding all the people of Suqian in the base, which is rare even in some survivor bases.
Moreover, their daily food rations include meat. This is absolutely unheard of in the survivor base, where you have to work hard to earn work points to exchange for meat. Those who are not capable or do not earn enough points can only starve and eat rotten rat meat. There is really no other way.
Because the survivor base is strictly managed, very few people are able to get out. When they heard that Lu Yuan's base was recruiting a large number of technical personnel, they were all tempted. Many of them contacted Lu Yuan to try to get out, but Lu Yuan couldn't get them out right now.
After all, the management in the base was too strict, and he had no way to get them out. It involved two forces, and the power controlled by the survivor base was much stronger than Lu Yuan's current strength. He didn't want to provoke this behemoth for the time being. Right now, he just needed to maintain the base and the coal mine.
Just as Lu Yuan was holding his rice bowl and chatting happily with Xiao Shan about the progress of today's work, several people next to him suddenly stood up.
Chen Bin, who was reporting to Lu Yuan, looked at Lu Yuan's back with a look of surprise.
"What... what's going on?" Chen Bin pointed behind Lu Yuan with a somewhat flustered expression and said that the road was far away. After seeing his appearance, Lu Yuan also put down his chopsticks and turned around to look.
Just then, several people carrying several corpses walked in through the base gate with panicked expressions. These people were all dark-skinned, but some blood still seeped from their bodies, leaving a bright red footprint with each step they took.
The leader was Wang Laosi, whose face was full of tears and who kept wiping his face with his sleeve as he walked and cried.
Lu Yuan quickly stood up and went to greet them, and the others also quickly sent the injured to the makeshift hospital.
Lu Yuan looked at Wang Laosi with surprise and anger: "What happened? Did something happen at the coal mine?"
As soon as Lu Yuan spoke, Wang Laosi's knees buckled, and he knelt down in front of Lu Yuan, kowtowing repeatedly.
"President Lu, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'd be guilty if I had to apologize again. I failed to address the safety hazards in the coal mine, and a gas explosion occurred, killing more than ten of my brothers! Just execute me!"
The group of people standing behind Wang Laosi were also weeping, and some of them, including women and children, were holding the corpses on the ground and crying incessantly.
