After this incident, Bai Shuang realized the complexity of the resettlement department; it was a place rife with trouble.
The survivors who returned to the base were all sorts of people.
Being too strict might shut out compatriots who could be won over, while being too lenient might give bad people an opportunity to take advantage.
Here, there must be a highly capable person to support her, and after thinking it over, she thought of Huang Xing (the fat man).
That's right, he's just a businessman, not highly educated, and has never held an administrative leadership position.
But he is quick-witted, knows how to deal with all kinds of people and situations, and can handle all kinds of emergencies.
"Bai Jiu, call Fatty over."
After making the call, Bai Chang asked, "Are you thinking of promoting him to assistant?"
"Yes, don't you think he's a talented person?"
How about letting him handle the resettlement department?
Bai Jiu: "I think it's a good idea. He used to be the number one under that scalper in Tangcheng. He's pretty capable."
Not long after, Huang Xing arrived, looking completely bewildered.
"Base Commander, you wanted to see me?"
His eyes darted around a little; he now works as a manager in the Bai family's private plantation area.
He thought he had done something wrong. It wasn't easy to have such a good job in the apocalypse, and he hoped he wouldn't get fired by his boss.
Bai Shuang: "How's our planting area doing now?"
The main crop grown there is medicinal herbs, which are used by pharmaceutical factories. Some grains and vegetables are also grown there.
"That's good. We've already harvested one batch of medicinal herbs, and the wheat is now ripe and ready for harvest."
He was meticulous in his work, and Bai Shuang was quite satisfied with him.
Bai Shuang: "Have you heard about what happened at the resettlement department today?"
Why did the boss ask me that? I was just curious, so I went over and watched the commotion for a while.
Oh right, it was during working hours. I was watering the fields and passed by, and couldn't help but peek for a little while. Could it be that those little brats tattled on me?
However, since it didn't interfere with work, it shouldn't be a big problem. It's better to tell the truth.
"To be honest, I happened to be passing by when I was watering the plants, so I went over to take a look for a while."
Huang Xing lowered his head, suppressing his nervousness.
Bai Shuang: "So what do you think should have been done at that time?"
"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to bully us at our doorstep?"
They should have stopped them immediately and detained those who were causing trouble before figuring out how to deal with them. How could they have been allowed to act so arrogantly for so long?
Furthermore, given how much trouble things have escalated, why hasn't Qin Yuan been seen?
Bai Shuang was very satisfied with his answer.
"Well said. If I were to hand over the resettlement department to you, would you be competent?"
"Hey, boss, what are you talking about?"
"I only have a high school diploma and have never even held a minor official position. How could I possibly become such a high-ranking official?"
"It's okay, if I say it's okay, then it's okay. Do you want to seize the opportunity and give it a try?"
Are you serious?
Huang Xing felt like he had stepped in dog poop; how could such a huge pie have fallen into his lap?
Bai Shuang looked at him, waiting for his answer.
"Then, hehe, I'll give it a try. Thank you for the promotion."
Bai Shuang: "Don't be too happy yet."
First, read through all the base's laws and regulations. If you don't understand something, ask Bai Jiu and the other person for help.
Secondly, being a leader in a base is fundamentally different from doing business before.
Your every move represents the entire base; all actions are governed by rules and regulations, and you cannot act arbitrarily.
I'll give you a one-month trial period. If you satisfy me after a month, you'll officially become my assistant.
If you don't meet the requirements, you'll be returned to your original job.
When it came to rules and regulations, Huang Xing became nervous. He had always been a free spirit and unrestrained.
But he's still willing to rein in his personality and give it a try.
He didn't want to regret it later; at worst, he could just go back to his old job.
"I'm willing to give it a try."
Bai Shuang: "Okay, arrange your work there, and you can start tomorrow."
Huang Xing: "As you command!"
Boss, where's Qin Yuan? I do this, what does he do?
Bai Jiu: "They've already withdrawn, just now."
"Ah! That's good, that's good."
"Boss, you don't know, that guy is petty. Back in the Tangcheng base, he always liked to make things difficult for people."
Bai Chang: "Why didn't you say so before?"
Huang Xing was embarrassed. "They did a good job before, so wouldn't that be talking badly about them behind their backs?"
It will affect your judgment, boss.
With this matter settled, Bai Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.
Today is Sunday, and suddenly feeling inspired, I asked Bai Jiu and the other person, "Would you like to cook something delicious today?"
Bai Jiu suddenly became interested, "Yes, Miss, let's make potstickers today."
As they spoke, Bai Shuang began to stir and pinch, while Bai Chang began to knead the dough.
Bai Jiu started cooking the millet porridge and began mixing cold dishes.
Whenever they have time, they make a lot of food and store it in storage, so they can take it out whenever they want to eat it.
The three of them were cooking when they heard a knock at the door. Bai Jiu walked towards the door, muttering, "Why are the young master and his family looking for us like this today?"
The door opened, and instead of Lu Yu and his group, a little girl walked in.
"Brother Bai Jiu, Brother Bai Chang, Sister Bai."
Bai Shuang looked at it for a while before recognizing it.
"Are you Liu Bin's daughter?"
The little girl said timidly, "My mom made potato cakes and asked me to bring some to you."
As she spoke, the little girl secretly glanced at Bai Chang a few times.
"Your mom can make this? Thank you."
Bai Shuang pretended not to see, took the basin from her hand, put the glutinous rice cakes in her own basin, and then served her some freshly made potstickers.
"Take these potstickers we just made and have a taste."
"Thank you, sister."
The little girl was new to the place and felt a bit lost. She drank a glass of water and then left.
Bai Jiu: "Does that little girl like Brother Chang?"
Bai Chang: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Bai Shuang: "Bai Jiu was right, that little girl has been secretly watching you."
Bai Chang: "Miss, really. You think you like someone just because they've looked at you a few times?"
Bai Jiu: "Most likely."
Bai Shuang: "Bai Chang, I think so too."
If she tries to chat you up again, you should respond if you're willing.
The male-to-female ratio is severely imbalanced now; it's hard to find a clean-cut young woman like her. Think it over carefully.
Bai Chang: "But how old is she?"
Bai Shuang glanced at him. "Age difference is not a problem."
That girl was only 17 years old, 13 years younger than Bai Chang, and now she works as a nurse in a hospital.
When the natural disaster struck, she was only seven years old, which meant she had never been to school. However, Liu Bin and his wife taught her whenever they had free time.
Liu Bin has also been teaching her traditional Chinese medicine, which is already a very good situation for her.
At least that's what Bai Shuang thinks. As for whether they can become a couple, it's ultimately up to the parties involved to decide.
The meal was almost ready, and the three of them chatted about the little girl as they carried it to the table.
"It smells so good, what delicious food are you making today?"
