Chapter 416

Because of the elder, Ji Jue also ordered Isis to pay attention to Yu Shu for a while.

Mainly because in this hellhole of Xinquan, if you say people don't lock their doors at night and don't pick up things left on the road, it's a bit of a joke. The average quality of settlers and scavengers is usually in a state of sustainable decline, completely different from the city. If you're not careful, you'll be taught a harsh lesson.

For the sake of the elder, it wouldn't be good to let him fall too hard.

In fact, no such thing happened.

According to Ji Jue's previous words, without a fixed position, he could choose any business or position in Coastal and Messenger as he pleased, and adapt for a period of time first.

As a result, he really started to adapt.

From quality inspection and supervision on the assembly line, to the transfer and distribution of the logistics warehouse, he even came into contact with the underground workshop for a while.

He didn't act as fearful as expected, and from beginning to end, his expression was normal. Then he did odd jobs for the Xinquan Town Appearance Management Team, and even stayed in the security team for a while.

He mainly just did things.

Wherever he was, he did what he had to do, not caring about other people's eyes. As an outsider, he didn't put on a show of humility, nor was he arrogant because of his own conditions.

He never interrupted things he didn't understand, and he was meticulous about problematic areas.

When he was in the Town Appearance Management Team, he spent half a month organizing and completing the resident population statistics and survey of Xinquan, rectified the management of the night market and morning market, standardized the emergency fire-fighting process, reported the cafeteria's procurement in the middle, and finally rectified the recent slack atmosphere of the security team.

At the same time, he didn't hide his inclination to clear out an office for the Chongguang Sect in the town's spare buildings, and submitted a suggestion and plan to reorganize the Coastal infirmary, expand its scale, and have both sides cooperate in external operations.

If this plan were really implemented, if it went smoothly, the Coastal infirmary would at least count as a township hospital from now on.

What's rare is that after doing so many things that make people hate and dislike him, surprisingly few people disliked him. And even if there was resistance and rejection, everyone admitted that although he was troublesome when doing things, he was a very good person.

He could work, plan, and organize manpower. He had enough affinity and didn't lack leadership.

Everyone who used him said he was easy to work with.

Whether it was Old Gou or Yan Gong, when talking about him, they all gave a thumbs up and praised him as a practical talent.

Then, they kicked him to Ji Jue's office.

It wasn't because of exclusion or suppression, but simply because the factory manager here was laying flat and not working, and the matters were the most annoying and numerous!

Currently, Coastal's operations are on the right track, Messenger Logistics' business is getting bigger and bigger, and Xinquan's development is getting more and more prosperous, so there are more and more problems!

And the things that couldn't be solved below and were sent to Ji Jue's side all involved various aspects, and no single party could solve them.

Although Secretary Isis is shrewd and capable, and her auditing is rigorous, unfortunately, she never shows her face, so there are always errors in details and implementation, and even delays due to resistance at the execution level.

Now that Yu Shu has been added, the problem where previous measures and plans gradually became superficial on paper and difficult to implement was immediately solved.

He doesn't lack sympathy and understanding for grassroots employees and executors, doesn't lack rigor and persistence in doing things, and at the same time has personally experienced the operations of all three parties, knowing the drawbacks and troubles.

Although doing things is still not easy, after the tangled mess was gradually unraveled, it became more and more handy.

Thus, after only a few days, a rumor spread in Coastal: the secretary and the assistant worked together to sideline the factory manager, and then took control of Xinquan...

Regarding this, Ji Jue felt it necessary to stand up and clarify—this is not a rumor, it's true.

In the office, the teacup was placed on the desk.

"Mr. Ji, tea."

"Okay, thank you."

Ji Jue yawned. He had just finished working in the workshop and hadn't laid down for a while before being dragged by his assistant to work, so he inevitably had some small emotions and resistance.

On the table, all the reports and documents had been prepared and classified.

"This stack has been seen by Miss Isis, you just need to sign and stamp it. This stack is the job resumes received by HR, I have picked out the more important ones, you need to take a careful look later. And this part... here... hmm, okay."

Yu Shu's movements were fast, and he kept talking: "Mr. Gou has mentioned many times that he hopes you can attend the mobilization meeting. It's not right that employees have been on the job for so long and don't even know what the boss looks like."

"Okay, next time for sure." Ji Jue nodded.

"You said that last time too."

"Then next time."

"... Alright."

Yu Shu sighed, and as if he were used to it, continued: "Also, Yan Gong said, increase the investment in this year's campus recruitment. Although the trained employees are enough to cope with production, many positions and types of work with higher requirements are still difficult to handle.

Hmm, the original words were, tell that Ji Jue, if this continues, his blood pressure will be unable to hold on."

Very considerately, he omitted part of the content and left it to Ji Jue to fill in the blanks himself.

Hmm, it feels like the attack power is even stronger...

Ji Jue waved his hand: "Then increase the investment, this matter is left to you."

"Ah?"

Yu Shu was stunned, and instinctively shook his head: "Financial and personnel matters..."

"It doesn't matter, our makeshift stage is like this."

Ji Jue picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Hmm, the temperature is just right.

Having not been here for a few days, the office seemed to have changed too. It wasn't as cold and makeshift as before. It was tidied up in an orderly manner, and there was even a potted plant on his desk, and a few cushions on his chair.

The details were much more comfortable.

Damn, a male mother has arrived...

Flipping through the reports and plans submitted by Yu Shu————water accumulation cleaning, epidemic prevention investment, electricity theft rectification, counterpart professional talent training and scholarships for the Heavenly Gate, heatstroke prevention subsidies...

Ji Jue sighed sincerely: "Why would someone like you be a Vortex?"

"Ah?"

Yu Shu, who was busy organizing and filing documents, was bewildered and turned back.

Persistence, resonance, induction, restraint, and enthusiasm...

"Shouldn't it be Metamorphosis?" Ji Jue pinched his chin, unable to figure it out: "It shouldn't be that you can't find a suitable catalyst for Upper Invocation, right?

The Chongguang Church shouldn't be lacking in that."

"Hmm, about that..."

Yu Shu was silent for a moment, and gave an awkward smile: "Actually, I planned that before too, but Father said I like to have high standards but low abilities, ignoring reality.

Being too idealistic makes it too easy to go to extremes. The faster you go, the easier it is to make mistakes. The better you think, the harder you fall.

So he helped me change to the Vortex system.

He said, sometimes being more mediocre is harmless and long-lasting."

One thing to say, it's true.

Compared to Metamorphosis, Vortex is actually a very good choice. After all, he has enough foundation and talent, and doesn't lack knowledge and cognition. And, he can also invest. Enthusiasm.

At the same time, it is also safer and more stable.

Compared to the momentary high-speed advancement, the disillusionment and wavering of ideals are even more terrifying. According to the statistics of Good Ether, the probability of Metamorphosis's sin-tainting is among the best among all Chosen Ones, second only to Heart Pivot and Great Group.

Great Group is almost wearing the same pair of pants as the Mad Butcher, while Heart Pivot... hmm, you're already Heart Pivot, isn't it normal not to eat beef?

It's still our Ember that's good.

Just down-to-earth research, peer work, and material work.

Ji Jue held the teacup and sipped the tea, sighing naturally: "The Elder's consideration is far-reaching."

"Yes."

Yu Shu instinctively touched his collar, and after touching nothing, he reacted and gave a self-deprecating smile: "He always does a lot but still feels it's not enough, is too harsh on himself, and too indulgent to others..."

"Following evil is like a collapse, doing good is like climbing; isn't it precisely because of this that it's worth respecting?"

Ji Jue put down the teacup, and after clearing the accumulated work, prepared to go take a rest, but was stopped by Yu Shu, whose expression was serious.

"There is another matter that is very serious. Although it has nothing to do with Xinquan, it is very likely to cause a big mess. After I talked to Mr. Gou, he also hoped to have a talk with you."

"What is it?" Ji Jue also became nervous: "Is the funding not enough again?"

"No, the current financial situation is a bit too healthy, although many items are not easy to account for..." Yu Shu's expression was complex: "It's not Xinquan, it's not even just Haizhou; it's the stowaways."

"Ah?"

Ji Jue was stunned.

Stowaways sound very distant and terrifying, but for a coastal area like Haizhou, it is simply commonplace.

Relying on the mountains to eat from the mountains, relying on the water to eat from the water, it is normal to drive a big boat to carry goods and people. In fact, in today's wilderness markets, helping wealthy outsiders settle in the Federation is also a highly profitable industry. It's not just Haizhou; any coastal area of the Federation has its share.

"Is this... very serious?"

"Very serious."

Yu Shu's expression was solemn.

In this world, as the Qiandao become more and more chaotic, a large number of wealthy people have begun to sell their industries and drag their families to immigrate to the Federation. But in reality, if you are really rich and powerful, there is no need to stow away; you can buy a passport and register directly by spending money.

The key is, it's not just the wealthy who want to survive.

Long before the wealthy felt the situation was bad, a large number of people who were living from hand to mouth and couldn't survive had already been seeking their own way out. Gritting their teeth and stamping their feet, rowing sampans into the sea to the Federation was not rare.

Under the guidance of snakehead intermediaries, stowaways in groups were never rare. Otherwise, where did so many undocumented people and illegal immigrants in the North Mountain District come from?

And recently, such situations have become more and more frequent...

However, Xinquan is also a beneficiary.

After all, positions in the city are basically one radish for one hole, and big factories and big companies basically strictly follow regulations, so overseas certificates and diplomas are useless. But Xinquan doesn't refuse anyone, and recently it has received many high-level technicians and related talents.

Even if you have nothing and no skills, as long as you are willing to work, willing to go to the assembly line to screw bolts, go to the construction site to mix concrete, or drive a small tricycle to deliver goods, Xinquan is willing to take you.

It doesn't matter what you are, as long as you follow the rules.

But the key is, what the outsiders bring is not just population and labor, but also too many things from the Qiandao that cannot see the light.

Forbidden drugs, promiscuity, and even diseases.

Other diseases are fine, but the key is...

"I called the medical team that went to the Seven Cities a couple of days ago and confirmed it."

Yu Shu said solemnly: "The Spiritual Plague is still spreading."
