Upon hearing Lu Yuan say that he was going to give him a task, Yuan Cheng couldn't help but relax and let out a long sigh of relief.
"President Lu, let alone one thing, even ten or a hundred things, as long as you give the order, I guarantee I will complete them." At this moment, Yuan Cheng wished he could pour out his heart to Lu Yuan to show his loyalty.
However, Lu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.
"No need for so much, just get one thing done for me first."
Then Lu Yuan waved to the other party, and Yuan Cheng quickly put his ear close.
So Lu Yuan whispered something in the other person's ear. After hearing the nonsense, Yuan Cheng looked up at Lu Yuan in surprise.
"President Lu, please don't! I really regret it now. If you still feel you haven't gotten enough, I won't take my salary for this period of time. You can even beat me up, but please don't fire me. I never want to be a traitor again."
Lu Yuan muttered a curse under his breath, feeling utterly disappointed.
"Why don't you understand what I mean? This is just a pretense. If you handle this well, I'll still give you the position of captain when you come back. If you don't, don't come back."
“This…” Yuan Cheng was still hesitating, but at this moment Lu Yuan had already turned around and left the conference room, heading towards his residence.
Yuan Cheng stood there and sighed. After looking at the important figures in the conference room, he still felt a little scared. After all, these people were his former friends and brothers. He had already seen how much anger his betrayal had caused them, and he didn't want to disappoint them again.
However, Lu Yuan had just given him an extremely important task. If he failed to complete it, he might have to leave. So Yuan Cheng gritted his teeth and punched the wall hard.
"Fuck it, I'll do it!"
Around 10 p.m., the entire camp was pitch black when a shout came from afar, followed by a sudden commotion in the quiet surroundings.
With a "snap," the entire camp was instantly illuminated by lights, as if it were daytime.
Several workers who were sleeping covered their eyes when they saw the blinding light. Somewhat incredulous, they looked up at the light above their heads and, overjoyed, rushed out of the camp without even putting on their clothes, shouting.
"The power is back on! The power is back on here!"
More and more people left the camp, and soon everyone in the camp had gathered together. Everyone's face was filled with happiness. It had been about half a month since the power went out, and now that the lights were finally back on, everyone felt much better.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was sitting in a tent in the camp, surrounded by Chen Kaiming, Hei Zi and others.
"Lu Yuan, didn't we agree that I would handle the electricity issues? Why did you take care of everything? It makes it seem like all my work has been for nothing," Chen Kaiming said, looking at Lu Yuan with a resentful expression.
"Haha, Uncle Chen, we were just looking for a water source, so we figured we could solve the electricity problem at the same time. It's alright, you hold a pretty important position in our company, so we can handle this."
Hei Zi pointed at himself with a proud look: "Hey, hey, hey, have you forgotten about me? If it weren't for me, where would you have gotten all these wires and equipment? Do you think I have no function at all?"
Lu Yuan wanted nothing more than to give the other person the middle finger: "You're so great, you deserve some credit this time."
"Huh? Lu Yuan, that's not fair of you. What do you mean by 'count me in'? I already have a share, okay?"
However, Lu Yuan was still interested in the equipment that Hei Zi had obtained, since both the inner and outer cities were now under lockdown.
In Zone 5, anyone whose name is registered under Future Company is basically restricted from spending. Even if Lu Yuan offers ten or a hundred times the price, he cannot buy any supplies in the inner or outer city.
However, Hei Zi unexpectedly managed to procure large-scale power generation equipment and a large quantity of cables, which surprised Lu Yuan. Curious, she nudged Hei Zi with her shoulder and whispered, "Hey, you know what, we really owe this to you for getting this equipment. Where did you get it from?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Hei Zi proudly raised his head.
"Call me brother, call me brother and I'll tell you."
Lu Yuan immediately slapped the other person on the head: "Damn, I've spoiled you rotten. Are you going to talk or not?"
Kuroko covered his head, grimacing and looking dissatisfied: "Is this how you treat your meritorious subordinates? I protest!"
"Protest is invalid, get to the point."
Finally, Hei Zi dropped his mystique and cleared his throat: "Back when I was in the guard team, I was in charge of catching thieves. Do you know why I rose through the ranks so quickly? Because I only caught a few people each time, and those few thieves brought me a lot of benefits. But even after I left, those guys were still quite respectful to me. Now, they often come to give me gifts when they have free time. The reason I was able to get these power generation devices and cables this time is also thanks to them."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately surprised: "So you stole all these things?"
Hei Yi was immediately displeased upon hearing this, his face hardening: "How dare you talk like that? What do you mean by stealing? These things are just sitting in those abandoned factories, they're completely useless. We're just taking them and using them, isn't that making the most of them? What do you mean by stealing?"
