Chapter 1754 - 956: Oil Well Maintenance Completed, Sealed! (2)

The older cooperative personnel around him saw his demeanor and couldn’t help but chuckle to themselves.

"Look, this guy must be new. I wonder what his story is. It’s amazing he could even get in with us."

"Thick-skinned, haha."

Upon hearing the mockery from the older cooperative personnel around him, Zhang Rufen’s expression didn’t sour. Instead, he cupped his hands and displayed a somewhat ingratiating smile to those looking at him.

However, he had different thoughts in his heart:

Hmph, what do you know? So what if I’m thick-skinned? Right now, face is the least valuable thing. Seize every opportunity to show my face, make Director Li remember me, so that if there’s any task in the future, he will think of me. These ignorant people.

Li Yu watched for a while, observed the good order of the queue, nodded, and then walked towards the base of the wall.

These past two days, except at night, the gate of Weng City hasn’t been closed, continuously dealing with the incoming people from the Outer City, older cooperative personnel, and others.

Yesterday, while queueing, a small conflict occurred, caused by crowding into each other due to the line being cramped.

However, both sides showed restraint and did not come to blows, just resorted to grandstanding from a distance.

Utilized the "Back off, back off, back off" tactic.

Later, when they saw Old Lv and others coming, they calmed down, not daring to make a fuss.

Joking aside, this is the Big Camphor Tree Base. If a real fight breaks out and catches the attention of the administrators, the consequences would be dire.

They are all older cooperative personnel, naturally familiar with the rules of the base, and having the previous misfortunes as lessons, even if they’re furious, they have to suppress it.

If they attract Director Li’s attention, if lucky, they’d be expelled and, during a natural disaster, won’t get the Big Camphor Tree Base’s protection; if unlucky, they might not even save their lives.

Upon descending from the wall, Li Yu saw Xiao Jun and the others standing outside the greenhouse, armed for vigilance.

"City Lord."

"Hmm, how is it? Anyone causing trouble?" Li Yu inquired.

Xiao Jun shook his head and replied, "No, everything’s orderly. According to the rules, Extra Staff has been settled into Structure 3, while other Cooperative Personnel have been distributed to Structures 1 and 2."

"Good, don’t let your guard down, keep an eye on them so nothing messes up," Li Yu instructed.

"Understood," Xiao Jun affirmed with a serious expression.

Li Yu nodded, seeing Ahong from the First Satellite City and Huang Zheng from the Second Satellite City entering from the Outer City gate.

They were leading in several personnel from the Outer City one after another.

"How many people have come in from the Five Satellite Cities now?" Li Yu turned to ask Xiao Jun.

"Most from the First and Second Satellite Cities have arrived, but the Third, Fourth, and Fifth haven’t yet," Xiao Jun responded.

"Alright."

Li Yu had a grasp of the situation and walked into the greenhouse. Observing him going in, Xiao Jun quickly instructed a nearby team member, "Watch over here for a bit, I’m going in."

Saying that, he hurriedly followed Li Yu into the greenhouse.

Upon entering the greenhouse, they saw a variety of tents set up on the fallow ground. Those who entered early chose spots away from the entrance, as it’s quieter, and when doors were opened, they wouldn’t be hit by wind and rain.

When people in the greenhouse saw Li Yu enter, they didn’t recognize him at first until he took off his glasses.

They swarmed up in a hurry, all greeting Li Yu.

Xiao Jun behind Li Yu quickly stepped in front and said to them, "Don’t crowd, get back to your tasks."

Upon hearing Xiao Jun’s words, they quickly halted, not daring to get too close.

Li Yu smiled at them and said, "Everyone, please stay calm here; no need for noise."

"Don’t worry, Director Li, this isn’t our first time here; we all know the rules of the Big Camphor Tree Base."

"Right, right, and if anyone dares to act up, they’re against all of us; we’ll definitely deal with them."

"Have you eaten, City Lord?"

...

Li Yu gestured with his hand to calm them and said, "It’s good, I’m just here to take a look, been a while since I saw you all."

"Our Director Li is great."

"Indeed..."

Amidst a chorus of praise, Li Yu exchanged a few more words and then left.

He went over to another large shed, where the number of people was noticeably smaller than the previous one.

These were all the Extra Staff.

After a few words with them, Li Yu stepped out through the main entrance.

Li Yu has a great memory. Among the people he just saw, many were familiar faces, and he could even call many by name, which touched these people deeply.

After making a round here, Li Yu went to the duty office, where Second Uncle was as well.

Li Yu saw Second Uncle with a pen, seemingly recording something, and upon approaching, saw it was the exchangeable points for food storage for Extra Staff and Cooperative Personnel.

"Second Uncle, I notice that people from the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Satellite Cities haven’t arrived yet. They need to speed up and get here by tomorrow," Li Yu urged.

Second Uncle looked up at Li Yu, put down the pen and said, "The Third and Fourth Satellite Cities are on their way today, expected to arrive soon. As for the Fifth Satellite City, Guo Peng mentioned they’d start off tomorrow morning and should arrive soon as well."

Li Yu nodded and responded, "That’s good. After stopping work at the Fourth Outer City, why haven’t the surrounding cooperative personnel come? I didn’t seem to see them at the shed just now."
