But with the year-end approaching, why hasn't Lu Yu returned yet?
He said a month ago that he had already started his return journey and would definitely be back before the end of the year.
But why haven't we arrived yet?
In the post-apocalyptic world, long-distance communication is impossible, and contact can only be made using the base's communication equipment.
Moreover, if they enter a blind spot, there is no signal at all.
Bai Shuang tried calling several times, but it was always a dead tone.
She wanted to use divination, but her own people didn't have any divination results.
Bai Shuang wanted to find them, but the world was so big, where could she go to look? She was pregnant, and if anything happened to her, it would only make things worse.
After much thought, she decided not to go out.
Help him manage the base and the children well. I believe he will be blessed with good fortune and will definitely return safely.
Fortunately, her babies are doing very well; they are already four months along, twins, and there are no pregnancy symptoms at all.
Apart from a protruding lower abdomen, there were no other abnormalities in the rest of the body.
She has no pregnancy spots on her face, and experiences no fatigue, nausea, or vomiting. She is energetic and has a great appetite.
Bai Shuang guessed that, in addition to her good health, balanced work and rest, and reasonable diet, it must be the effect of the spiritual spring water.
On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, there was still no news from Lu Yu and the others. Although Bai Shuang was worried, as the base leader, she still put the overall situation first and did not neglect any of the tasks that needed to be done.
Everyone has worked hard all year, and the harvest from the fields is decent. We usually eat mainly coarse grains, but during the holidays, we have to eat some refined grains.
She took out a batch of rice and flour, and a pound of cottonseed oil, and put them in the supermarket for limited sale.
Minister Hong couldn't bear to part with the rabbits, so Bai Shuang took out dried seafood and also gave some of the eggs that had been stored during the day to the supermarket for sale.
As more and more supernatural phenomena occurred, people became more aware of the existence of angels, and she became more open about it.
For high-ranking officials like Mr. Hong, the head of the Zuo family, and other high-ranking military personnel, who were not numerous, Bai Shuang gave each person two chickens and a plate of eggs, plus 10 jin each of rice and flour.
This was also her way of rewarding her subordinates for their hard work as an angel and a leader of the base, and it was also a way of winning people's hearts.
The next level down is a chicken and twenty catties of refined grains; the next level down is a plate of eggs and twenty catties of refined grains, and so on down to the next level.
Further down the line, the only benefit is more points, which you can then use to buy things at the supermarket.
In the apocalypse, food is the most important thing. Distributing welfare in this way not only satisfies one's appetite but also represents a kind of honor.
The gap in status must be widened; otherwise, the higher-ups will lose their sense of superiority, and who will bother to compete?
If we don't strive for it, there will be no fierce competition, and the base will become stagnant.
The same principle applies to soldiers who don't want to be generals.
Just like the "iron rice bowl" system, no matter how much or how little you work, it's the same, so who would want to work harder?
Compared to lower-level employees, those at higher levels have stronger professional skills, greater responsibilities, and a greater intensity of mental labor.
High income and benefits are to be expected; the more you work, the more you earn, and the greater your contribution, the higher your income.
Bai Shuang also provided some benefits to the Babylonians and Benson. They made great contributions to the base and will continue to contribute to China in the future.
Of course, besides the food reserves from the original Kyoto base, Bai Shuang's own portion will be converted into points, which is equivalent to selling it to the base, and the points will belong to her.
This matter was entrusted to Bai Jiu, Bai Chang, and Xiao Zhao on behalf of Bai Shuang, so that everyone would know that it was issued by the base chief, and also to highlight the status of the three of them.
That afternoon, Xiao Zhao reported to Bai Shuang that Deputy Commander Zhu wanted to see her.
He is currently still incarcerated, and Bai Shuang does not want to lift his sentence until Lu Yu returns.
The main concern was that his negative emotions might affect other officers and soldiers.
He had followed Lu Yu for many years and had made many military achievements. That's why Lu Yu promoted him to such a high position. It was precisely because of this that he became arrogant and looked down on everyone.
A person in this position certainly has ability, but no matter how capable they are, they cannot be used if they do not respect their superiors or bosses.
The Huaxia base belongs to Bai Shuang and Lu Yu. Bai Shuang had explained the whole story to him before, but he still challenged Bai Shuang's authority and bottom line in front of many generals.
When Lu Yu left, he instructed him to assist Bai Shuang. Now it seems that he was only afraid of Lu Yu's authority and dared not object, so he agreed on the surface.
In his heart, he was resentful that the power had not been handed over to him, but instead to Bai Shuang, a woman.
In his view, Bai Shuang didn't understand military affairs. Not only did he not want to help her, he secretly hoped that she would be caught off guard and make a mistake.
But he miscalculated. Bai Shuang had no military experience, but she had studied management since childhood.
She had already taken over as president of the Bai Group before the disaster and knew how to use people effectively.
"Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish." With her talent and intelligence, she can apply her knowledge to other areas of management.
Moreover, military matters are handled by high-ranking military officers and other professionals. Commanders are responsible for leading troops into battle and deploying military forces.
You don't need to be an expert in white frost; you just need to be good at overall management.
After hearing what Xiao Zhao said, she thought about it for a moment and decided to go see Deputy Commander Zhu.
Deputy Commander Zhu: "May I ask the base commander, how long are you going to keep me imprisoned?"
"Of course, they'll be imprisoned until your commander returns."
"My mistake didn't warrant imprisonment, yet you've kept me locked up for over a month and won't release me?"
Bai Shuang nodded. "Indeed, the mistake you made is not enough to warrant imprisonment, at most it's enough to warrant dismissal."
But the problem is, I don't dare let you go.
"I'm just a woman, pregnant, and weak. What if I let you go and you cause trouble? I won't be able to handle it."
“You’re no ordinary woman; you’re more capable than any man.”
"Even someone as capable as me dares to disobey orders in public?"
"I just mentioned it casually."
"You just mentioned it casually?"
Do you dare to mess with me in front of Lu Yu? You're clearly taking advantage of my lack of military knowledge and trying to make things difficult for me.
Last time, you asked me if I had the authority to revoke the military status of those soldiers?
I thought you were one of us, and since you asked me privately, I patiently explained it to you.
I just didn't expect that you would not only ignore my advice, but also test my limits once again.
If I'm not mistaken, when Lu Yu left, he handed the base over to me to manage. You were dissatisfied at the time, but you just didn't dare to say it.
This base belongs to me and Lu Yu. We are essentially your bosses. It's an honor for you to work here.
You underestimate me, a woman, right?
I became the president of Bai Corporation when I was seventeen, and I also waded through mountains of corpses and seas of blood during the later apocalypse.
Let me tell you, even though I'm pregnant right now, you can't beat me. Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand.
"Did you think the base would stop functioning without you? What a joke."
