Oh oh oh!There are so many good things here!
B4th floor browsing room.
Looking at the dazzling collection of books on the bookshelf, Pai's eyes shined like sapphires illuminated by torches.
Standing next to Pai, Xiaoyu said in a very light voice.
Brother Chu said, you can borrow it at will, but you can't take it out of the shelter, and don't ruin it.
It's 8 o'clock in the evening, and her bank uniform has been replaced with loose casual clothes at home. Her ponytail has been put down, and her soft hair has dropped on her shoulders, looking like the little sister next door.
By the way, both clothes were designed by the Vineyard Lodge.
Don't worry!Take off an encyclopedia that is heavier than his head from the bookshelf, and Pai continued happily, "I will cherish it!"
Standing behind the two of them and looking at the encyclopedia that Pai took down, Chu Guang asked curiously.
Don't you have any there?
have!But not so much!
Pai vacated his left hand and gestured on the bookshelf, then said.
My master’s bookshelf is probably half that big.There were books he picked up from the wasteland and some broken memory on it. He spent half his life repairing those things, but he has only completed a little bit.
Chu Guang was quite surprised: It seems that your master is a respectable scholar.
Of course!Pai raised his nose proudly, and the old man knew a lot!
……
Chu Guang coughed gently.
...You might as well suggest to your teacher that you can teach more students so that they can also be easier.
Pai sighed and said helplessly.
I always advise this, but it’s too difficult to recruit some students... Our camp is fine, and many of the survivors outside can’t even eat enough.
It seems that this little girl is not completely ignorant of the sufferings of the world, which surprised Chu Guang a little.
You can bring him to our place to see, we have solved the problem of food and clothing.
For example, to be the Minister of Education or something.
Although this sentence was said in a half-joking tone, Pai's eyes lit up after hearing it and said excitedly.
Hey, right, there are so many delicious foods here, and there is definitely no shortage of people who are full and full.After I got back, I would like to suggest to my master that he would come to you to help you guys!
It's okay to be full...
This guy really said whatever he thought of.
Chu Guang almost choked by the saliva, and coughed dryly and looked at the little fish next to him.
...You can play with her for a while, and take her wherever you want to go.
The most core part of the entire shelter is the control terminal at the deepest point of the B4 floor.
However, Chu Guang only has the authority there. Most people can't even enter the culturing room in front, and at most they can walk to the gym behind the browsing room.
Xiaoyu nodded obediently.
What about you?
Chu Guang took a look at the time on the VM.
Heya asked me to go to the medical laboratory for a physical examination, and I plan to go there later.
In the past two months, he has been on the front line and has been busy with various things in the three days he just returned from the front line.
Although the gene sequence has been upgraded several times during this period, the attribute panel has not been updated.
It was not until this morning that Chu Guang got up from the bed with sweat on his face, and realized that he had not tested his physical condition for a while.
Medical laboratory.
Heya, wearing a white coat, has been waiting for a long time.
Looking at Chu Guang passing through the movable door, without saying nonsense, she reached out to pat on the scanning bed like an operating table.
Quickly, lie down.
Looking at the excited look, Chu Guang always felt like he was a teenage mouse.
But this is not the first time.
He had long been used to it.
The scan data is released, and the updated properties panel is quickly presented on the VM.
ID: Chu Guang
Gene Sequence: Manager (Phase III)
Level: LV22→LV27
Basic properties
Power: 25
Agility: 18→20
Physical constitution: 21→22
Perception: 20→21
Intelligence: 20→24
The sequence progress has increased by 5 percentage points, and it is reflected in the attribute panel that it has increased by 5 levels.
However, what surprised Chu Guang the most was not this, but his attributes actually grew by 8 points!
Intelligence has increased by 4 points!What a good guy... he's almost catching up with the power!
However, the power attribute did not increase at all, which Chu Guang did not expect.
Is it because of sitting behind the command?
Although the brain's computing speed increases, it is indeed helpful to him than muscle growth.
Incredible…I am becoming more and more interested in your body.
Staring at the tablet in his hand, Heya had an incredible expression on her face and said something difficult to understand.
To be honest, if she didn't speak, the face that seemed to be from the 3D area was indeed pretty.
No wonder she has no sense of existence and is unexpectedly popular on the forum.
However, the premise is not to speak...
Chu Guang coughed lightly.
...Please don't say such misunderstandings.
Heya's eyes widened.
Misunderstanding?No, I'm serious!Do you still remember what I told you before?Your DNA exhibits similar traits to the maternal nest. They can actively modify their DNA according to the evolution of the fruiting entity in the environment and express traits that are more adaptable to the environment!This is incredible!
……
Looking at Heya who was completely immersed in his own world, Chu Guang put on his coat silently.
However, just as he was about to sneak out of the medical laboratory, Heya suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.
Wait, wait a moment... I have something to ask you!
Chu Guang: ...What's the matter?
Heya said excitedly.
sample!My lab needs more samples about variant slime mold!
You have locked the permissions of the area within the Third Ring Road of Qingquan City before. I can't publish the tasks in that area, and I can't find you!Without more samples, the research on variant slime molds cannot be carried out at all. I have not made any new progress in a whole month!
Being stared at by the fanatical gaze, Chu Guang raised the VM with his head and pointed it on it twice.
OK, okay, I'll unlock it for you...
He happily let go of his hand, and Heya's expression finally returned to normal.
Thanks!
You're welcome, I'll leave first if there's nothing else... Before Chu Guang finished speaking, Heya had turned around and walked through the movable door and went to the sample analysis room next to her.
Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.
In fact, Heya didn't mention this matter. In two days, he planned to release the authority for the second ring road to the third ring road.
"Wasteland OL" has never forbidden players to explore the edge of the map. The explorable areas comparable to the planet and the outer space in production are one of the big pie he drew.
However, although there is no restrictions on the players' activity area, Chu Guang has always had restrictions on the permissions of NPCs.
Especially the scope of the task release.
Except for the trade union, other units cannot issue tasks to players that are too far from the new alliance signal range.
Some areas that are too dangerous must not appear on the regular task list.
However, after experiencing the battle in Xizhou City, many third-stage powerful people with second awakening have been born among the players.
For example, Niuma Team, the third ring road of Qingquan City is no longer so dangerous for them.
The restrictions on tasks involving urban center areas can be gradually lifted, but the task acceptance level must be set above LV20.
Although death is not a big deal for players, as a manager, Chu Guang still hopes to avoid some meaningless deaths.
This makes you more valuable to die.
……
TS City.
The tent of the snake clan.
Seeing his subordinates kneeling under the tent, the leader of the snake clan's eyes widened and his eyes were bloodshot.
Jinya died?!
The man kneeling under the tent said tremblingly.
Dead... I heard that he was betrayed by his own people and was bombed to death in a cannon hole, leaving only half of his body.
The people from the new alliance hung his body at the north gate of Dawn City for public display. In addition, there were more than ten thousand commanders... Except for three or five who voluntarily surrendered, the rest were all hung to death.
Most of the more than 20,000 tribes of the Ya clan were captured. Some of them were sent to the mines and some were dug by the lake in Xizhou City.
Now the entire Western continent...that is, to our west, is already the territory of the new alliance.
... Listening to the report from his subordinates, the head of the snake clan said with fear and confusion.
Half a month ago, Jinya sent him a message, yelling to tell him not to worry, and to take down Qingquan City in one fell swoop and meet him in Honghe Town.
He really didn't worry at first.
The Ya clan is the head of the Jigu tribe, and Jinya has nearly 30 tanks and more than 30,000 troops under his command, and his troops and equipment are more than three times that of his own.
In contrast, the new alliance is just a small village with a total population of only 10,000.
Even if you are holding a pig and commanding, you will not be beaten so badly, right?
Looking at the map hanging on the wall, a trace of despair gradually emerged on the head of the Snake clan's solemn face.
Xizhou City is less than 20 kilometers away from here. They only need to push the cannon forward along the tributary of Tianshui, and not even push too far to throw the cannonballs over their heads.
The staff officer standing next to him whispered.
...The south side cannot be captured for a long time, and another trouble arose in the west. I can no longer stay here.
Then where can we go?Should I grab the north again?The leader of the snake clan said irritably.
The staff officer was silent for a while and sighed lightly.
The mine owners of Honghe Town have united. Even if we concentrate all our troops and take a single bet, we will fight with them and finally let the new alliance reap the profits.
... Go east and flow down the sky water. Although the most fertile soil is out of reach, the eastern provinces can barely find our place.While the new alliance has not yet made a deal, it is still time to retreat.
Otherwise, we may be in danger of being attacked from both sides.
The leader of the snake clan fell silent.
Although he was reluctant, he had to admit that this was probably the only way to survive...
……
Honghe Town.
The position on the south side of Lujiao Mountain.
The front line commander standing next to the anti-aircraft hole, holding a telescope in his hand, looked at the hill opposite that was being repeatedly fought for, and a hint of surprise gradually emerged in his eyes.
...The raiders retreated.
The adjutant standing aside was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.
Retreat?What's going on?
Not sure...
The commander shook his head and handed the telescope to his adjutant, you can see it for yourself.
He reached out to take the telescope, and the adjutant stared at the hill opposite for a long time, and found that there was indeed no one on the other side.
After a closer look, the bayonets standing outside the trench were still stuck on wooden sticks.
Putting down the telescope, he looked at the commander with a weird expression.
...Will it be a trap?
Send a team of scouts to check it out.After pondering for a long time, the commander continued, and in addition, reporting the situation here to the mining guild, I mean the headquarters.
The adjutant nodded and said immediately.
I'll make arrangements now!
The mining guild is already a historical term, but most local people have not adapted to it.
Since the news of the Songlinyu victory some time ago, the mine owners and chamber of commerce in Honghe Town have to quarrel twice a day, and they have to surround the guild every few days, and every day, they look like they are about to finish.
Of course, it is impossible to be a real end. After all, when you are really terminally ill, you often don’t make a fuss. At most, you can enjoy the joy of the moment when you look back.
No matter how quarrels are, everyone actually knows very well that they are in a relationship of prosperity and loss.
In this wasteland world surrounded by death and despair, no one can truly leave the other.
During the fierce quarrel, the originally irreconcilable issues reached a consensus.
The merchants agreed to reduce the number of mercenaries and set up well-trained standing troops, but the mine owners bear 70% of the military expenditure, and they only bear 30%.
In exchange, the mine owners have also made more concessions on the issue of setting up a more centralized management agency, and have allowed the chambers of commerce that operate various survivor settlements to occupy more seats in the agency.
After all, there are more free people in places, and there are more educated people.
However, in contrast, the major settlements in Honghe Town will bear more public expenses than major mines.
At the same time, major mining farms and chambers of commerce need to take out their 10% profit as taxes for this unified institution.
From now on, Honghe Town has been officially renamed Honghe Alliance and no longer calls itself with historical names.
Although they have always been alert to the expansion of the new alliance, they eventually became what they hate the most...
……
The next morning.
Chu Guang, who was inspecting the trade union, happened to receive a call from the military base of the New Alliance in Honghe Town.
When he learned about what happened in Honghe Town these days from Xu Shun, the head of the military base, he was surprised and a little amused for a while.
Good guy.
Has Honghe Town turned directly into the Redhe Alliance?
Chu Guang never expected that the epic victory of the new alliance in Songlinyu would cause such a sensation, and even unexpectedly promoted the transformation of the survivors in Honghe Town.
Perhaps because he was jealous of the development achievements of the new alliance, the opponent simply copied his homework.
But it was not copied all.
I just copied some of them with a choice.
...The snake clan has retreated, and the other party has submitted a written application to us, hoping that we will reduce our garrison in the Red River Alliance.For a long time to come, they no longer need mercenaries.
Listening to Xu Shun's report on the phone, Chu Guang thought quietly for a while and spoke.
You tell them, just say we will withdraw troops from them in a planned manner after the threat from the chewing bone tribe is completely lifted, but not now.
The Teal Clan has been wiped out by us, but there are still two left unsolved. Those plunderers may make a comeback at any time. Now is not the time to discuss this matter.
Let them feel assured that we will not interfere in their internal affairs, but we must ensure the safety of our residents in local production and operation activities.
Seeing that the raider was driven away, I wanted to send his little players away?
He looks like the kind of person who comes and goes?
Want to eat nothing!
From a realistic perspective, the new alliance cannot give up its garrison on Honghe Town.
It is currently three days at the fastest distance from Shuguang City to there. If the military base is cancelled, it means that players cannot save the files in Honghe Town and receive tasks normally. It also means that his little player may have been cut by others.
This is something that Chu Guang cannot accept no matter what.
Xu Shun on the other side of the communication channel gave a military salute and responded neatly.
yes!
After the call, Chu Guang looked at Old Charlie standing aside and waiting quietly.
Clearing his throat, he continued.
There was a small problem in Honghe Town, but it was not a big problem... Where did we just talk about?
Speaking of our neighbors to the south.
Old Charlie had a gentle tone and patiently picked up the topic of the phone interruption just now.
According to the news you learned from the offices you set up in the Rock City, the Rock City City Hall recently introduced a bill requiring weapons stores and vendors in Rock City to stop selling LD-47 series weapons.
Obviously, they have realized that we are taking their market share.
LD-47 is powerful and cheap, so it is loved by many mercenaries.
The reason why sales were not good before was simply because the bullets were not easy to deal with.
But now the bullets of the New Alliance are getting cheaper, especially after the copper mine in Qingshi County was mined, the wholesale price has been discounted in half.
Under the trend of huge profit margins, more and more vendors are more willing to import the cheap and affordable bullets produced by the new alliance, so that sales data of the Drones series assault rifles produced by the Stone City military factory plummeted.
Chu thought for a while, and suddenly had a whim.
What if we change it?For example, change LD to AK?
Old Charlie was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
...Do you think the opposite side is a fool?
Chu Guang smiled embarrassedly.
That's right.
Changing a name to continue selling this kind of thing can really deceive fools.
Those vendors still want to continue their business in Giant Rock City. Even if they don’t listen to the government halls in other cities, they have to listen to the factory owners.
Looking at the manager who was in deep thought, Old Charlie paused and continued.
...In fact, even if this part of the trade share is lost, it is not a big deal. Mercenary groups in need will naturally come to our territory to purchase. The slums and black markets outside the city can also buy our products... These are not subject to the control of the foreign city hall.
What we really should be wary of is that our neighbors are changing their attitude towards us and our development has already alerted them.
Chu Guang nodded slightly solemnly.
Indeed, this is a problem.
The new alliance can complete industrialization in such a short time, partly because of the production experience brought by the small players from reality, partly because of the advanced tools provided by the Trail Blazers.
However, the trade with the Stone City is also an unignorable part.
For example, many of the related production lines of solid-state hydrogen batteries and KV-1 exoskeletons were introduced from the second-hand equipment auction market of Jushicheng.
There are also a large number of engineers employed by the Liszt factory, all from the talent market of Giant Rock City.
In addition to the product itself, these companies from Jushicheng have also spawned a large number of supporting industries.
Such as advanced electrodes, control components, micro motors, etc.
Some of these parts were exported to Giant Rock City and some were digested by local enterprises in the new alliance.
Objectively speaking, these have provided considerable help to the industrial development of the new alliance.
If the relationship with Borussia City continues to deteriorate, it will have an impact on the industrialization of the new alliance.
Of course, this has no effect on the Stone City itself.
For example, the A3 composite aluminum of Baqi Aluminum Factory has also imported a lot of ASIC factories.
During the development process, the new alliance still mastered some core technologies.
Chu Guang looked at Old Charlie and asked.
Do you have any good suggestions?
Old Charlie continued.
The possibility of direct conflict between us and the other party is very small, but this possibility is not without it.The new alliance is no longer the small village of its original size, and our expansion has aroused the alertness of our neighbors.In the long run, we still have to pay attention to our relationship with them.
For example, we can send diplomats to engage in more official communication with our neighbors.Not just the Rock City, but also the Red River Town, and even the garbage city a little further apart… We don’t necessarily need them to be friendly, but at least we have to avoid getting them united against us.
Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.
What you said makes sense, this question really needs to be treated with caution.
Before, the trade unions were responsible for foreign affairs.
After all, the new alliance was too small at that time, and its relationship with other settlements was only one trade relationship, and even tariffs were only created two months ago.
Now is different from the past.
The population of the new alliance has exceeded 10,000, and its territory has expanded northward to Xizhou City. The logistics is no longer just a few workshops and warehouses. Naturally, it is impossible for the relationship with the neighbors to only maintain trade exchanges like before.
This also involves geopolitical security and strategic needs.
In fact, it is not just diplomacy, but also a series of fields such as economy, industry, transportation, energy, trade, education, etc., which require a special department to be established for management, rather than asking him to give instructions personally every time.
Although Xiaoqi's help, it is indeed easy.As long as he is willing, he can even let a player on the front line move the machine gun position forward five meters.
Just as he took advantage of the victory of the Northern Expedition, Chu Guang planned to carry out a second reform of the management of the new alliance.
The last time I changed it was the Guard, and this time I changed it was the Internal Affairs.
The logistics department, which is too bloated, will be split up, and Chu Guang will further clarify the specific responsibilities of each department and the tasks they are responsible for.
In this way, he can also reduce the slightest fucking and make himself feel a little more relaxed.
Seeing what the manager was thinking, Old Charlie smiled and nodded and said softly respectfully.
It seems you have realized it.
What was my suggestion just now? My suggestion is that it is the time to do this.
B4th floor browsing room.
Looking at the dazzling collection of books on the bookshelf, Pai's eyes shined like sapphires illuminated by torches.
Standing next to Pai, Xiaoyu said in a very light voice.

No matter how quarrels are, everyone actually knows very well that they are in a relationship of prosperity and loss.
In this wasteland world surrounded by death and despair, no one can truly leave the other.
During the fierce quarrel, the originally irreconcilable issues reached a consensus.
The merchants agreed to reduce the number of mercenaries and set up well-trained standing troops, but the mine owners bear 70% of the military expenditure, and they only bear 30%.
In exchange, the mine owners have also made more concessions on the issue of setting up a more centralized management agency, and have allowed the chambers of commerce that operate various survivor settlements to occupy more seats in the agency.
After all, there are more free people in places, and there are more educated people.
However, in contrast, the major settlements in Honghe Town will bear more public expenses than major mines.
At the same time, major mining farms and chambers of commerce need to take out their 10% profit as taxes for this unified institution.
From now on, Honghe Town has been officially renamed Honghe Alliance and no longer calls itself with historical names.
Although they have always been alert to the expansion of the new alliance, they eventually became what they hate the most...
……
The next morning.
Chu Guang, who was inspecting the trade union, happened to receive a call from the military base of the New Alliance in Honghe Town.
When he learned about what happened in Honghe Town these days from Xu Shun, the head of the military base, he was surprised and a little amused for a while.
Good guy.
Has Honghe Town turned directly into the Redhe Alliance?
Chu Guang never expected that the epic victory of the new alliance in Songlinyu would cause such a sensation, and even unexpectedly promoted the transformation of the survivors in Honghe Town.
Perhaps because he was jealous of the development achievements of the new alliance, the opponent simply copied his homework.
But it was not copied all.
I just copied some of them with a choice.
...The snake clan has retreated, and the other party has submitted a written application to us, hoping that we will reduce our garrison in the Red River Alliance.For a long time to come, they no longer need mercenaries.
Listening to Xu Shun's report on the phone, Chu Guang thought quietly for a while and spoke.
You tell them, just say we will withdraw troops from them in a planned manner after the threat from the chewing bone tribe is completely lifted, but not now.
The Teal Clan has been wiped out by us, but there are still two left unsolved. Those plunderers may make a comeback at any time. Now is not the time to discuss this matter.
Let them feel assured that we will not interfere in their internal affairs, but we must ensure the safety of our residents in local production and operation activities.
Seeing that the raider was driven away, I wanted to send his little players away?
He looks like the kind of person who comes and goes?
Want to eat nothing!
From a realistic perspective, the new alliance cannot give up its garrison on Honghe Town.
It is currently three days at the fastest distance from Shuguang City to there. If the military base is cancelled, it means that players cannot save the files in Honghe Town and receive tasks normally. It also means that his little player may have been cut by others.
This is something that Chu Guang cannot accept no matter what.
Xu Shun on the other side of the communication channel gave a military salute and responded neatly.
yes!
After the call, Chu Guang looked at Old Charlie standing aside and waiting quietly.
Clearing his throat, he continued.
There was a small problem in Honghe Town, but it was not a big problem... Where did we just talk about?
Speaking of our neighbors to the south.
Old Charlie had a gentle tone and patiently picked up the topic of the phone interruption just now.
According to the news you learned from the offices you set up in the Rock City, the Rock City City Hall recently introduced a bill requiring weapons stores and vendors in Rock City to stop selling LD-47 series weapons.
Obviously, they have realized that we are taking their market share.
LD-47 is powerful and cheap, so it is loved by many mercenaries.
The reason why sales were not good before was simply because the bullets were not easy to deal with.
But now the bullets of the New Alliance are getting cheaper, especially after the copper mine in Qingshi County was mined, the wholesale price has been discounted in half.
Under the trend of huge profit margins, more and more vendors are more willing to import the cheap and affordable bullets produced by the new alliance, so that sales data of the Drones series assault rifles produced by the Stone City military factory plummeted.
Chu thought for a while, and suddenly had a whim.
What if we change it?For example, change LD to AK?
Old Charlie was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
...Do you think the opposite side is a fool?
Chu Guang smiled embarrassedly.
That's right.
Changing a name to continue selling this kind of thing can really deceive fools.
Those vendors still want to continue their business in Giant Rock City. Even if they don’t listen to the government halls in other cities, they have to listen to the factory owners.
Looking at the manager who was in deep thought, Old Charlie paused and continued.
...In fact, even if this part of the trade share is lost, it is not a big deal. Mercenary groups in need will naturally come to our territory to purchase. The slums and black markets outside the city can also buy our products... These are not subject to the control of the foreign city hall.
What we really should be wary of is that our neighbors are changing their attitude towards us and our development has already alerted them.
Chu Guang nodded slightly solemnly.
Indeed, this is a problem.
The new alliance can complete industrialization in such a short time, partly because of the production experience brought by the small players from reality, partly because of the advanced tools provided by the Trail Blazers.
However, the trade with the Stone City is also an unignorable part.
For example, many of the related production lines of solid-state hydrogen batteries and KV-1 exoskeletons were introduced from the second-hand equipment auction market of Jushicheng.
There are also a large number of engineers employed by the Liszt factory, all from the talent market of Giant Rock City.
In addition to the product itself, these companies from Jushicheng have also spawned a large number of supporting industries.
Such as advanced electrodes, control components, micro motors, etc.
Some of these parts were exported to Giant Rock City and some were digested by local enterprises in the new alliance.
Objectively speaking, these have provided considerable help to the industrial development of the new alliance.
If the relationship with Borussia City continues to deteriorate, it will have an impact on the industrialization of the new alliance.
Of course, this has no effect on the Stone City itself.
For example, the A3 composite aluminum of Baqi Aluminum Factory has also imported a lot of ASIC factories.
During the development process, the new alliance still mastered some core technologies.
Chu Guang looked at Old Charlie and asked.
Do you have any good suggestions?
Old Charlie continued.
The possibility of direct conflict between us and the other party is very small, but this possibility is not without it.The new alliance is no longer the small village of its original size, and our expansion has aroused the alertness of our neighbors.In the long run, we still have to pay attention to our relationship with them.
For example, we can send diplomats to engage in more official communication with our neighbors.Not just the Rock City, but also the Red River Town, and even the garbage city a little further apart… We don’t necessarily need them to be friendly, but at least we have to avoid getting them united against us.
Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.
What you said makes sense, this question really needs to be treated with caution.
Before, the trade unions were responsible for foreign affairs.
After all, the new alliance was too small at that time, and its relationship with other settlements was only one trade relationship, and even tariffs were only created two months ago.
Now is different from the past.
The population of the new alliance has exceeded 10,000, and its territory has expanded northward to Xizhou City. The logistics is no longer just a few workshops and warehouses. Naturally, it is impossible for the relationship with the neighbors to only maintain trade exchanges like before.
This also involves geopolitical security and strategic needs.
In fact, it is not just diplomacy, but also a series of fields such as economy, industry, transportation, energy, trade, education, etc., which require a special department to be established for management, rather than asking him to give instructions personally every time.
Although Xiaoqi's help, it is indeed easy.As long as he is willing, he can even let a player on the front line move the machine gun position forward five meters.
Just as he took advantage of the victory of the Northern Expedition, Chu Guang planned to carry out a second reform of the management of the new alliance.
The last time I changed it was the Guard, and this time I changed it was the Internal Affairs.
The logistics department, which is too bloated, will be split up, and Chu Guang will further clarify the specific responsibilities of each department and the tasks they are responsible for.
In this way, he can also reduce the slightest fucking and make himself feel a little more relaxed.
Seeing what the manager was thinking, Old Charlie smiled and nodded and said softly respectfully.
It seems you have realized it.
What was my suggestion just now? My suggestion is that it is the time to do this.
