Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 682 The Interpersonal Relationships in Officialdom!

There are more and more people in Longcheng now.

Many people have not yet met Xiao Yu.

In addition, the two of them were traveling incognito and had sneaked into the oil pressing factory.

Therefore, it did not immediately attract the workers' attention.

Xiao Yu and his companion were looking around and were fairly satisfied with the efficiency of the oil pressing factory.

As a result, I heard something that wasn't very pleasant.

"Tiger, stop being lazy and dozing off today!" a young man whispered to him.

"Go away, don't disturb my nap!" another impatient voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu frowned slightly.

He took a closer look and his face darkened.

The person who just spoke was a handsome young man.

But this person had messy hair and was covered in grease.

Just by getting close, you can smell a strong, nauseating stench of sweat.

This person turned out to be one of the two workers specifically responsible for cleaning peanuts.

The other honest-looking young man beside him was working diligently.

But this handsome young man was already slovenly.

While washing peanuts, he would occasionally scratch his feet.

Finally, they were even more perfunctory, simply dumping a large pile of peanuts into a bucket, stirring it haphazardly a few times, scooping it out, and considering that done?

Xiao Yu could still clearly see that there was still a lot of mud on the peanut kernels that hadn't been washed off.

You know, these peanuts are going to be stir-fried directly in the pan later!

After a quick wash, the slovenly young man leaned against the wall and dozed off.

"Hey Er Gouzi, you can't do it like this."

Seeing this, the honest young man spoke up again, "Let's get back to work... It's really not easy for us to have the life we ​​have today. I heard that the city lord will be coming to inspect us in the next few days."

Both of them had joined Dragon City back in the days of the Mechanical City.

Because I've suffered too much in the past.

Therefore, the honest and kind-hearted young man cherishes his current life very much.

But clearly, this companion, who had been lazy and gluttonous since childhood, did not think that way.

"What's there to be afraid of? My sweetheart works in the Hall of Merit, she has inside information."

Hearing this, the slovenly youth remained dozing with his eyes closed, completely unconcerned, and even chuckled smugly, "If the city lord comes, I'll receive the news. Hehe!"

"Oh? Who's your lover? Do I know him?" A somewhat teasing voice rang out.

"Tch, my girlfriend is..." The slovenly young man crossed his legs and mumbled a reply.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he sensed something was wrong. He subconsciously opened his eyes and saw two extraordinary people staring at him with cold eyes.

"Who are you? This is an oil pressing factory; outsiders are not allowed in!"

I don't know where he got the courage, but the slovenly young man reprimanded him without thinking.

However, at that moment, the oil mill manager noticed the commotion and rushed over immediately.

Upon seeing Xiao Yu and the other person, the factory manager immediately bowed and said, "Lord City Lord, Lady Honglian!"

"What? You are the city lord..." The disheveled young man trembled and almost peed his pants in fright.

"Tell me, who is your lover? And how did you get in here?" Xiao Yu's tone was calm, yet it subtly revealed an irresistible air of authority.

The disheveled young man casually replied, "Cuihua, I'm with Sister Xiaoyu... Cuihua took me to the interview..."

"You're fired! You'll be living in a tenement building for the rest of your life!" Xiao Yu said in a nonchalant tone.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the disheveled young man's face turned deathly pale.

My intuition suddenly made me dizzy.

then.

It was just a series of pitiful pleas for mercy.

This is Dragon City!

This is a paradise that countless people dream of living in!

He was also proud to live in Dragon City!

But now, he's about to be kicked out!

Living in a tenement building? Or for the rest of your life?

"Lord of the City, please don't! I know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"

The disheveled young man begged for mercy frantically, even kneeling down and kowtowing until his head bled.

However, Xiao Yu completely ignored him and simply waved his hand casually.

The factory manager immediately understood and ordered his men to drag the disheveled young man out.

After dealing with the slovenly young man, Xiao Yu turned to the factory manager and asked, "Why was someone like this allowed to get in? Didn't I set up evaluation criteria?"

He had standards for establishing each workshop and recruiting staff.

Such a slovenly and irresponsible person should not be hired.

He needs to find out exactly where the problem lies.

"Lord City Lord, calm down."

Seeing that Xiao Yu was clearly angry, the factory manager instantly broke out in a cold sweat, quickly bowed and apologized, explaining, "The oil pressing plant is newly established, and we are short-staffed, so we can't strictly vet everyone. Moreover, some people were recommended by internal staff, and because of the recommender's background, we didn't thoroughly assess them..."

Finally, the factory manager wiped his forehead again.

Because he could sense that Xiao Yu's face had darkened even more.

“From now on, no matter who recommends you, you must be strictly evaluated! Today’s incident is partly your fault for not supervising properly. I will make a note of it in your file. If you continue to be so careless, perhaps... someone else will appreciate this job more than you do.”

As Xiao Yu spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the honest-looking young man.

He ignored the factory manager and turned to leave.

Was the factory manager at fault? He didn't actually do anything wrong.

but.

As the head of a department.

There's something wrong with this department.

Then he's the first one who needs to take responsibility!

So, of course it's wrong!

Moreover, Xiao Yu did not expect that these people would learn the ways of interpersonal relationships in the officialdom of his previous life without being taught, and even learn how to place people in each other's positions.

Originally, Xiao Yu also planned to build another workshop.

We're waiting for wheat yields to increase so we can use it for brewing beer.

But now, he wasn't in the mood, so he went straight back to the city lord's mansion.

Seeing this, Honglian obediently remained silent.

However, she still sent a telepathic message to Xiaoyu, asking her to inquire about the girl named Cuihua.

A moment later, inside the city lord's mansion.

"Brother, this is what happened..."

Honglian reported the information she had learned from Xiaoyu.

The slovenly young man is called Er Gouzi.

He is good at using sweet talk to make girls happy.

Therefore, Cuihua became closer to him.

However, the two had only known each other for a few days.

There's no question of any so-called male-female relationship.

Er Gouzi has always been lazy and gluttonous, making it difficult for him to find work. So he asked Cuihua for help.

Cuihua then took him to the recruitment office.

Then, the recruitment office saw that Cuihua had brought her there, and immediately accepted her.

They simply assigned this idiot an easy job.

After all, everyone knows that newly established factories offer the greatest opportunities for promotion.

If you do a good job, once the factory is up and running, most of the early employees will become key personnel.
