Grandma Jing’s expression grew fiercer as she scolded with arms akimbo: "Isn’t this just taking off your pants to fart? There are new issues every day. Can’t people get so rest?"
Even though Grandma Jing was scolding, her next sentence took a surprising turn: "Old man, you go help keep an eye on things, organize the shelves or sothing. Honestly, it’s always us old bones tidying up in the end."
Wu You’ai was dumbfounded. She agreed just like that?
Jing Shu chuckled: "I’m strong, I’ll handle it. Actually, my company just so happens to have a batch of supermarket shelves to set up, but Grandpa needs to help clear so space in the living room by the ship before discussing where the supermarket would be most convenient."
Finally, the whole family decided to put the supermarket opposite the swimming pool, where there’s a large empty corridor. It’s close to the living room and the bedrooms, making an open-style supermarket with supplies restocked every two months.
So it was settled like that.
As the New Year approached, the Jing Family got busier.
Even Jing Shu got caught up in the busyness. As the year-end approached, business got better, with many people who usually wouldn’t buy things deciding to treat themselves this year.
Thus, Jing Shu’s factories discussed for days how to handle the holiday, with debates erupting in every departnt.
For example, the sales departnt argued that they’ve worked hard for over six months, and although there’s only one public holiday this year on New Year’s Day, the factory should give an extra half-day off at least, so everyone can watch the Spring Festival Gala together on New Year’s Eve.
The HR departnt retorted, asking if they could just declare a holiday like that? How would wages be paid then? And during New Year, people still need to be on duty; how would that be compensated?
The labor protection departnt chid in, questioning the budget cuts for holidays, especially concerning the budget for holiday gifts and allowances: it definitely shouldn’t be deducted from their budget.
At this point, the canteen staff interjected: "We don’t care what you argue about, but the reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve needs to et the standard, with dumplings, and for the Lantern Festival, sweet dumplings must be provided."
Jing Shu felt overwheld by the endless debates and decided to let them quarrel. She pooled people from her associated factories into a 500-plus square ter hall, letting representatives from each departnt draft plans, and dedicated an entire day to holding a eting.
After a day of debate, under the final coordination of Zhang Yicheng and Old Wang, they reached a conclusion.
Seeing the proposed plan, Jing Shu signed her na with approval, feeling that once again, she’d managed to be a hands-off manager for the day.
After wrapping up matters at the factories, Jing Shu attended a few events and then heard from Jun Bao that the authorities were highly concerned about the energy discovery in Wu City, dispatching two expert ard teams there.
Jing Shu had a puzzled expression. Typically, only one expert team would be sent, consisting of a doctor leading so students and researchers. What did it an to send two?
Jun Bao smiled lightly, a mysterious look in his eyes: "Maybe everyone wants a piece of the pie. Let them all go then," he said nonchalantly.
But Jing Shu felt that this guy wasn’t being genuine.
She understood that it was a factional struggle at the top, with everyone wanting to insert their own people to gain so influence when the energy was extracted.
Just like when Old Zhou led Jing Shu with a team to sea and discovered several types of dark energy, which gave Old Zhou authority in the distribution and discussion of those energies.
"Alright. That’s not so bad. More people might lead to quicker discoveries," Jing Shu shrugged. She wasn’t particularly concerned. In her previous life, they discovered it without her, after all.
Jun Bao nodded and said, "The two teams have been deployed with so special ability users, using an Energy Conservation thod by leveraging other forms of dark energy to proceed.
If there’s no news within half a month, the situation may escalate, with authorities sending in higher-level personnel."
"Oh. It would be best if news about releasing so energy cos out." It’s quite normal, as many places nationwide have energy, all being explored continuously.
Jun Bao sighed, knowing that over the years, directness worked best with Jing Shu since subtle hints sotis went unnoticed. He decided to be straightforward this ti:
"You should prepare yourself. There’s a possibility that in a month or two, another team of doctors and special ability users will be dispatched."
Jing Shu was montarily taken aback: "You’re sure these two teams can’t handle it?" She was initially interested, but having just returned from the Middle East, exhausted without many days of rest, she thought the two teams sent by the authorities should suffice.
Once they handle it, she could directly exchange other energies for so new energy, which would upgrade the Magic Cube Space effortlessly.
Jun Bao made no comnt.
Jing Shu understood, contemplating resting for another month or two. Who knows, maybe by then they’d have already settled everything? So she agreed for now.
Jun Bao then brought up the lungfish issue, casually ntioning recent international news. Several countries near Africa had discovered this lungfish species, spreading at an alarming rate, and he’d already reported the matter.
"So, what do you think about preventing this lungfish invasion? Any species invasion poses a significant crisis and risk for Huaxia now, but also offers opportunities."
Oh, does this an she has to draft a proposal?
