Thinking that by establishing connections, he could attract some powerful individuals to his island and also get closer to Lin Hu.
In case they have a fight with their son someday, they can still think of coming back to them instead of just leaving without looking back.
Duan Bohai has about a hundred men under his command, plus some people that Duan Linzhou and the other younger generation know, so the total should be around two hundred. That should be enough to build a small city at the exit point.
After hearing Duan Bohai's words, Lin Hu thought that he should give his employees some benefits: "I have a few people here. If Uncle Duan needs more people, I can recommend them to you."
Duan Bohai had been waiting for Lin Hu to say this, and he readily agreed with a smile:
“Okay, Xiaohu, you can tell them later to ask Linzhou to join. You young people have more in common.”
Apart from Lin Hu, the others expressed disbelief that Duan Linzhou could have common topics with people.
[Lin Hu: @Everyone, let's have a video conference at 3 PM.]
After finishing the conversation, Lin Hu went to his own small group to send a message. Fearing that some people might not be online, Lin Hu left a message first and turned off the mute function to prevent the message from being pushed to the top.
It must be said that the updated features of the survival system are truly commendable.
Lin Hu was good at drawing and flew up to record the terrain. He was in charge of drawing, while Wen Bozhi, Duan Linzhou, and Duan Bohai were in charge of design and planning.
Jiang Qiaomei, Wen Mofei, and Wang Fuqing have nothing to do now, so they just wander around or rest on the island or on the raft.
At 3 o'clock, Linhu was not completely finished drawing; he had only roughly drawn the area of the island.
He first gave the simplified map to the three of them, then found a secluded spot to start the video call.
The mute function was disabled, and as soon as the video aired, other people started coming in one after another.
Lin Hu checked the headcount and noticed someone was missing: "Where's Xiaoxiao?"
Liu Xu turned on her microphone and replied, "Brother Lin, Xiao Xiao went to the island at noon to kill mutated beasts, she probably hasn't made it back yet."
Lin Hu nodded without saying anything, indicating his understanding.
"Boss, what do you want to say?" Cheng Yuan, who was usually very talkative, also spoke up, curious about what Lin Hu wanted to say. It sounded so formal.
Lin Hu coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and then said seriously, "Everyone, please be quiet for now and mute your microphones."
"I am currently on an island that is habitable, and the island owner is now hiring."
Those who come to work can have priority to live on the island and receive a one-year rent reduction. During the work period, three meals a day are provided, from 8 am to 8 pm, with a two-hour break in between.
"Who among you is interested?"
"Cheng Yuan, you go first." Lin Hu was afraid that if everyone turned on their microphones at once, he wouldn't be able to hear them, so he called out the name himself.
Cheng Yuan particularly missed the feeling of being called out by the leader.
But is Lin Hu really not a recruitment agency that hires people to work in the factory?
"What are the job duties?" Cheng Yuan replied, indicating his interest.
Having experienced the ups and downs of society, he knew that such an island might develop into a new city in the future.
Class distinctions are not easily crossed, and those who take the first step often have the greatest advantage.
Lin Hu: "I'll post an ID in the group later. Add him and he'll explain it to you."
"Boss, do you live on that island too?" Cheng Yuan asked again.
Lin Hu nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Okay, then I have no problem." Cheng Yuan muted her microphone.
"What about the others? Willow catkins?" Lin Hu asked the others.
Liu Xu trusted Lin Hu quite a bit and planned to follow him wherever he went with Xiao Xiao.
"Brother Lin, I have no objection. You can ask other people."
Lin Hu: "Okay, Zhang Hu then."
Zhang Hu's reasons were twofold: first, he owed Lin Hu a life-saving favor; second, he had made a considerable amount of money working for Lin Hu and intended to continue working with him indefinitely.
Zhang Hu turned on his microphone and said in a deep, cheerful voice, "Little boss, I have no objection either."
Lin Hu: "Where's Xi Yuan?"
Xi Yuan: "No."
Okay, let's get back to the point.
Lin Hu then asked Cheng Miaomiao and Liu Xinyao, and they clearly had no objections.
One reason is that neither my brother nor I have any objections.
One reason is that her husband has no objection, and neither does she.
"Okay, then I won't say any more. I'll post the ID in the group, you guys can add it now." Lin Hu hung up after saying that, not giving the others a chance to say anything more.
When Lin Hu returned, he saw Duan Linzhou sitting on a raft replying to messages.
Duan Bohai and Wen Bozhi were not present; they must have gone to conduct on-site investigations with maps.
Wen Mofei and Wang Fuqing sat in the corridor outside the wooden house picking vegetables, while Jiang Qiaomei rested in the bedroom upstairs.
Lin Hu walked over and sat down next to Duan Linzhou, leaning closer to see what the other was saying.
"What are you doing?" Lin Hu reached out and grabbed the other person's hand, a smile playing on his lips.
Duan Linzhou smiled faintly and remained silent, showing his light screen to the other party.
Lin Hu moved closer, and Duan Linzhou then noticed that something was stuck to the hem of Lin Hu's clothes. He reached out and removed it.
"What's wrong?" Lin Hu noticed and asked the other person.
"Something's stuck to it." Duan Linzhou handed the thing he had taken off to Lin Hu.
"Cocklebur?!" Lin Hu was somewhat surprised when he saw the item; it was a traditional Chinese medicine.
He didn't even know where it was stuck.
It was a dried cocklebur. Lin Hu wondered if bringing it to the secluded countryside would activate the seed.
"Cocklebur? What's it used for?" Duan Linzhou had never seen cocklebur before, so he naturally didn't know.
"This is traditional Chinese medicine. It can relieve pain and alleviate rhinitis symptoms. I learned about it when I had rhinitis before." Lin Hu took it from Duan Linzhou's hand, treasuring it.
"You used to have rhinitis?" Duan Linzhou asked. He felt that Lin Hu had too many ailments, no wonder he was so thin. Thinking of how Lin Hu had almost fainted from stomach pain before, his heart clenched.
"Yes, but I got better later." Lin Hu didn't notice Duan Linzhou's emotions and put the cocklebur into his backpack.
I plan to go to the island tonight and try planting some orange seeds with the ones I got from Duan Bohai.
"Look, do I have any left?" Lin Hu stood up, his back to Duan Linzhou, and asked.
“Yes, come closer.” Duan Linzhou reached out and pulled Lin Hu’s hand, drawing him closer.
Duan Linzhou took another one and gave it to Lin Hu. Seeing that the clothes were clean, Duan Linzhou did not let him leave.
After glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention, he reached up from Lin Hu's clothes and ran his hand across Lin Hu's waist.
Lin Hu's skin wasn't as warm as Duan Linzhou's hands because she had just flown back.
Caught off guard, I was scalded by the fleeting warmth.
"What are you doing!" Lin Hu slapped away the malicious hand, dodged to the side, and said in a low voice. At the same time, he glanced in the direction of Wen Mofei and Wang Fuqing.
The two didn't turn around, not because they didn't notice their actions, but because they couldn't bear to watch.
“You have some on your pants, you didn’t finish picking them.” Duan Linzhou said, opening his palm, revealing a cocklebur in his hand, making him look somewhat aggrieved.
Lin Hu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Had he gone too far?
It seems like it was just an accidental bump.
