As she spoke, a hint of guilt flashed across Wenwen's face.
"In fact, he did all this for me. He always saved food for me, which is why he got so hungry."
Bai Shuang remembered that their leader, Zou Yuan, and his daughter were both so thin from hunger, and then she understood.
Wenwen: "He shielded me from danger many times; otherwise, I would have died long ago."
Bai Shuang: "Alright, don't be sad. The disaster is over now. Let's work hard together to build a new home."
Bai Shuang then assessed their current situation. The ship was badly damaged, and many of the rooms were destroyed. Several people were now sharing a room and couldn't cook for themselves.
Bai Shuang didn't leave her any rice or noodles, but took out a few packs of biscuits and instant noodles from her backpack for her, and also took a pack for Xiao Song who was standing next to her.
These days, food is the scarcest commodity. Wenwen didn't want it, but seeing that Bai Shuang was still radiant and beautiful, she assumed she had plenty of food, so she accepted it.
She felt once again that it was incredibly fortunate for her to know Bai Shuang in this life; it was a blessing she had earned in her previous life.
When asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Wenwen: "I'll do anything, as long as I have food to eat."
But Bai Shuang still wanted to help her.
“I remember your previous major was Traditional Chinese Medicine, wasn’t it? If you want to pick it up again, I can help you.”
I've opened a hospital. You can start by assisting the doctors and learn while you work.
I have the complete set of teaching materials here.
Before Wenwen could answer, her boyfriend Ma Yinuo's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
His current physical condition is no longer suitable for heavy physical labor. If he could pick up his medical skills again, it would be a very good way out.
As a former student of Tangcheng Medical College, he was naturally also studying medicine, and was even a year ahead of Wenwen and Baishuang.
In other words, he had already taken the courses in his third year, so it would be easier for him to pick them up again.
Wenwen: "But, wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"
Bai Shuang: "We're old classmates and good friends. You two are good people, so it's no big deal to help you out."
Xiaosong: "Sister Bai, could I work as a security guard at your hospital? Cleaning is fine too."
Being a security guard is easier than farming, and besides, the wages and meals for Bai's employees are better than in other places.
Bai Shuang glanced at Xiao Song. Well, it didn't matter who she used; at least they were from the same village, and he had always called her "sister."
"I'll talk to the hospital, and you can start work tomorrow morning."
Thank you!
The group was deeply grateful, and just as Bai Shuang and the others were about to leave, someone ran in, "Count me in, count me in! We've known each other for ten years, after all."
Bai Shuang looked at the person, puzzled.
"Sister doesn't recognize me, I'm Fatty."
He rushed over, and Bai Jiu and the other person reached out to block him.
"stop!"
Are you sick? You're as skinny as a monkey, and you still call yourself fat.
"Hehe, Li Ran is thin now, but I used to be fat too."
Bai Jiu: "I'm warning you, stay away!"
He used to be fat, what's there to brag about?
"Mr. Bai, we're acquaintances, could you please help me find a good job?"
Wenwen: "Shuangshuang, he used to sell things at the Tangcheng Trade Market."
Bai Shuang suddenly remembered, "You're that scalper's henchman? I ran into you when I went to Tangcheng that time."
"Yes, yes, hehe, from now on, can I be your little brother?"
Whenever he had free time, he would go out and inquire about the situation at the base. He just came back from outside.
He found out that the Bai family's employees had the best salaries and benefits.
Moreover, the current base commander is from Tangcheng, and is an acquaintance from the past. Furthermore, the commander-in-chief had previously stationed troops in Tangcheng. It's truly a stroke of luck for him!
Bai Shuang: "I don't take on underlings."
It makes her seem like a gangster boss, with a lackey?
"Could you arrange for me to go to the hospital as well?"
Bai Shuang: "I remember you guys are very good at business."
"I like doing business, but the conditions aren't right yet, so I need to find a job to make a living first?"
"Isn't the planting area currently in need of manpower?"
"I'm not trying to use your connections, but how about I become the security guard in your office?"
Bai Jiu: "The guards in the base commander's office are all soldiers."
"Oh, then can I work as a hospital security guard with Xiaosong?"
Bai Shuang, unable to resist his persistent pestering, had no choice but to nod, "Alright, then you can go with Xiao Song."
This person is exceptionally quick-witted, thick-skinned, adept at dealing with all sorts of people, skilled at market analysis, and very trustworthy. He is a rare business talent who will be of great use in the future.
"Thank you, base commander."
Wenwen: "Shuangshuang, you...you're the base commander?"
"Yes, I am the base commander. This base was created by my husband and me."
There's no way to hide this from her, so just tell her the truth.
Except for the fat man, everyone else gaped open, and they didn't even realize that Bai Shuang and the other two had left.
After the Spring Festival, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu originally planned to go and retrieve the oil, but after the Russians caused such a commotion, other forces also learned that the Babylonians were in China.
Think about it, what did the Babylonians represent? They represented oil, and the world's only remaining oil in considerable quantities.
What is oil? It is the lifeblood of industry. Without it, how can we develop?
Machinery is unusable, cars cannot be driven, and even airplanes and aircraft carriers are immobilized.
Therefore, it was inevitable that the Huaxia base would be targeted and surrounded by wolves.
But the heavy blow the Chinese dealt to the Russians made them hesitate, and now they are all watching each other closely, with no one daring to easily attack the Chinese base.
