Qiu Qin has an air of sophistication. Approaching fifty, she has an outstanding figure and demeanor. She is neither overbearing nor too approachable, a quality that only someone who has held a high position for a long time possesses.
Chi Xia led her to the office building, which was the pre-apocalyptic property management office of this community.
After the two were seated, Chi Xia smiled at Qiu Qin and said, "Sister Qiu, do you mind if I call you that?"
"Of course I don't mind." Qiu Qin smiled back at her. "At my age, it's only right that you call me Aunt Qiu."
"Sister Qiu, then I'll get straight to the point."
Chi Xia said, "To be honest, our base has just been established. Although everything has been planned and we are capable of managing a base, we are indeed lacking someone. As you said, someone who is capable of overall planning and reasonable arrangements and can stay at the base for a long time. Your appearance is just right to fill this gap."
"Let's be frank. Your position is very important because it relates to the establishment of the entire base's management system. But precisely because it's important, we must be cautious. I have a few questions for you. Please forgive me if I offend you in any way."
Qiu Qin nodded: "I know. People in this position usually won't feel at ease unless they're sworn brothers. After all, this is our first day meeting, so it's understandable that you have questions. Just tell me what's wrong."
“Then I’ll just ask directly,” Chi Xia said. “I want to ask why you left the previous base. Please answer directly.”
Qiu Qin thought for a moment and said, "Let me put it this way, I'm not young anymore. Although I have superpowers and my body has been modified, I can't compare to young people. My strength has always been in overall planning and coordination, not in charging into battle. The previous base obviously didn't think so."
"My superpower is level 6, which is neither high nor low. Teams with high superpowers don't want me because of my age, and teams with low superpowers can't meet my needs. Most importantly, the management of the previous base was very chaotic, resources were unevenly allocated, and favoritism prevailed. They didn't have a long-term development mindset. I can still keep up with the situation for a few more years, but what about after that?"
“I understand.” Chi Xia nodded and handed her the information on the new members who had joined the base that day: “Sister Qiu, why don’t you take a look at these documents and tell me your thoughts on the establishment of the base?”
Qiu Qin took it and looked at it slowly. Chi Xia was not in a hurry and sat aside to wait for her.
After more than ten minutes, Qiu Qin finished reading the information and handed it back to Chi Xia, saying, "First, we need to establish a distribution system. Those without superpowers will be responsible for the food, lodging, cleaning, and maintenance of the base, while those with superpowers will receive treatment based on the resources they provide and their contributions to the base."
"Secondly, establish a reward and punishment system. There must be a specific management plan for what can and cannot be done. Thirdly, correctly and reasonably divide the superpower teams and assign tasks."
"Fourth, many bases believe that people without superpowers are useless. But in my opinion, the resources created before the apocalypse are limited. At this stage, people with superpowers can indeed find resources to survive, but once there is no further production, these pre-apocalyptic resources will be plundered sooner or later."
Qiu Qin spoke eloquently, not only about the management of the base, but also about planning from the perspective of the overall development of the post-apocalyptic world.
She talked a lot, and many of her ideas actually coincided with those of Chi Xia and the others. Most importantly, she shared the same views as Chi Xia and Han Junche: saving the world relies on people with superpowers, but after saving the world, it will be a world without people with superpowers.
After listening quietly to her finish speaking, Chi Xia asked a question: "Excuse me, but what did Sister Qiu do before the apocalypse?"
Qiu Qin spoke calmly, "Province B..."
