Chapter 93. Constructing the Office

     The next morning, a second new group finally appeared on the survivors’ forum: the Arthurian Legend, clearly a British government initiative. This stirred up another wave of controversy.

     Given that groups have emerged in both Asia and Europe, survivors from other countries, especially the U.S., have been discussing in the posts why the other global superpower hasn’t established its own group under these circumstances.

     An hour later, two American groups appeared almost simultaneously, and the second one even had an international group title.

     One was called Free America, an official American organization;

     The other was the King Cobra International Intelligence Network, a private organization. King Cobra had been in the limelight in the forum before. Their confidence in competing with official organizations was Bella, the dual-system magician Bella in the King Cobra Group, and her anonymous account was ‘King Cobra Bella’.

     Even in the US, the posts from these two groups are filled with competition and hostility, as if the tension could burst right off the screen.

     The Netizen:

     “Damn!!!”

   【Is the United States in mitosis?】 

   【Splitting up? Of course it’s cooler to have two powerful groups! 】

   【Why does it feel that the King Cobra Intelligence Network is more prominent than Free America?】 

   【My China, can you change the name of our group to be more international? Now it sounds like Er Gouzi or Gong Xi Fa Cai Group. 】

   【……】

     The two American groups competed with each other, and instantly pushed the hot searches of China and the UK to the back.

     The rest of the groups were still silent, watching the situation. It would only be a day or two before they jumped out to promote. Since they had formed a group, they would definitely need to recruit new members to make up for the points.

     Ye Mo also followed suit.

     Of course, she did not plan to sell mechanical arts or alchemy door-to-door for the time being. Not to mention whether other people believed it or not, the clients of the Chinese Unnatural Investigation Bureau alone might be enough to keep her busy for a month.

     However, the Arturian Legend, King Cobra Intelligence Network, Free America, etc. all sent private messages to Maria. In addition to the reason of being a craftsman, it was obvious that they probably knew about the battle in the Magic Beast Forest at that time, and they had a bit of a wooing intention.

     Offer generous treatment, simplifying it is enough money, resources first, play casually, and they will cover if something goes wrong.

   【Thank you for the invitation, I don’t plan to join any group. 】

     During breakfast time, Ye Mo replied to them. Even the national team was rejected, so how could she join a foreign team?

     Bella & Arthur & America: 【It’s okay, dear, you can send us a private message whenever you want to join us. We are in need of a brave and fearless warrior like you!】 

     “…”

     In the end, Ye Mo added the unadded Free America as a business partner, indicating that ordinary cooperation is still possible.

…

     The next day after returning to the real world, Ye Mo’s main goal was to familiarize herself with her own strength.

     This can prevent her from accidentally poking a CNC machine tool or stepping on the experimental building of Chuanming Group while working. This morning’s Weibo news just downloaded a similar hot search from Changchun City. There are many recent news 404s, and sensitive netizens may have begun to feel it.

     After breakfast, change into a wear-resistant and dirt-resistant dark blue work clothes and go to the basement.

     As soon as Bandit arrived at the door of the training room, he barked twice and turned around and ran away. It may be that the previous many “forced exercises” left him with an extremely deep impression, and he finally learned to run away.

     When he reached the upper stairs, the big black dog stretched out his inconspicuous neck to peek at the shit shoveling officer.

     “As expected, the Beast Bone Pill is still somewhat useful.”

     After Ye Mo glanced at Bandit’s big head, she entered the training room. The room was getting emptier and emptier, leaving only an iron frame of weapons and a row of wooden stakes. All the extra useless things were moved away.

     Now it seems that there are too few types of weapons, and she need to make or buy and modify 180 kinds of weapons.

     Ye Mo first took out the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array and sat quietly for a while. The sensitivity of her five senses increased again. When sitting quietly, she needed to shield out more miscellaneous and mixed sounds, focusing on breathing, calming her mind, and concentrating her heart.

     Half an hour later, she opened her eyes again.

     The spiritual energy in reality is really thin, so thin that even with the Gathering Spirit Array, she can’t feel the feeling of spiritual energy entering her body. It’s a bit of a waste to use the Five Elements Gathering Spirit Array in the real world. After all, the spiritual jade on it is not a spiritual treasure jade essence, which is inexhaustible.

     Ye Mo put the Gathering Spirit Array back into the storage ring and make a spiritual energy sensitivity test array when she has time.

     She drew her sword from the weapon rack, leaped across to the adjacent, densely packed row of wooden posts, and landed lightly atop one. With fluid motions, she began practicing a sword form, starting her training to improve her strength and agility.

…

     Two hours later, Ye Mo came to the workshop.

     Compared with the training room, the workshop is really small. There are several stacks of drawings on the design table in the middle, and the workbench on the right is full of non-attribute finished or semi-finished prop models.

     The tool area is fully stocked with basic tools such as files, pliers, hammers, agate knives, awls, drills, hacksaws, ring mandrels, vernier calipers, and calipers. Once the tools are damaged, they are sent to the adjacent materials area, which is well-supplied with various materials including metals, leather goods, and stones.

     Not enough, far from enough.

     Ye Mo plans to do something that somewhat violates urban construction regulations, expanding the basement, utilizing the space below the courtyard, and even further below, gradually building a new machine room.

     Of course, expanding a basement isn’t as simple as digging a hole. The most important thing is to avoid the house’s foundation. And Mental ability is truly a treasure. With a few swipes, a rough sketch was drawn on a piece of paper, fully considering safety issues such as waterproofing, moisture-proofing, fireproofing, and ventilation.

     Leaving the list of decoration materials aside, Ye Mo can start the work by herself now. It only takes two hours to dig a little. She can buy materials at noon and proceed to the next step in the afternoon.

     Goblin Maria is online again.

…

     The next day, the Spring Festival holiday officially ended. 

     In previous years, she thought the Spring Festival holiday was very short, but now it seems that going to work is really like a thing in her previous life.

     The factory gate was unexpectedly lively today.

     That is, while queuing up to clock in using fingerprint, as coworkers hadn’t seen each other for a long time during the Chinese New Year holiday, some exchanged local specialties, others chatted about the latest news of the holiday. These were quite normal

     She don’t know who started it, but they talked about the sudden death of a worker in the factory next door the day before yesterday afternoon.

     Then, one person said that a distant relative of her boyfriend’s family also died the day before yesterday, and another person said that his friend’s friend also died in the past two days. He was still joking the moment before, and died of a sudden heart attack the next moment. The workers talked more and more horrified.

     Of course, in addition to praying to God, their horrible topic finally turned to heart health issues.

     ‘A million survivors, indeed not a small number. If the survivor app continues, even if there is a country controlling the secret behind it, exposure is only a matter of time.’

     Ye Mo sighed secretly, the guard had already opened the door, and drove past the crowd who were still discussing it.

     Today, Ye Mo’s first destination is Manager Xie’s office in the engineering department. She is going to collect her appointment letter, which is stamped with several big red seals, and also take back the project team’s red envelope

     Chuan Ming Group will give each employee a cash red envelope of 666 yuan on the first day of work after the Spring Festival every year. It sounds good to say that it is a good start, but in fact it hopes that the workshop workers will return to work on time and not delay their work.

     Although Ye Mo has been promoted, before introducing the new project director engineer, she was still the project director and could distribute the final red envelopes to the junior members of the project team.

     After the New Year, Manager Xie’s face and belly are rounder, it seems that he has attended many parties.

     “Old Ye, the office and laboratory have been approved for you. This is the CNC data I got from Liu Bo. You should familiarize yourself with it. This week, you should make a rough plan for this year’s CNC project and submit it to the leaders so that they can have a general idea.”

     “No problem,” Ye Mo took the thick data sheet and flipped through a few pages. “What about the relocation of heavy industry?”

     “It will take at least a week to complete the construction of the factory. It will take another month or two to transfer the workshop equipment step by step. Now we still focus on the workshop here. When the workshop is completed, you can go and see if there are any problems with their assembly line equipment. Some CNC production projects will be moved there first.”

     “There is also the issue of manpower. The administrative assistant was transferred from the sales department. If he is not comfortable with the job, he will be replaced. I had a drink with the boss the other day and finally transferred your original project team and the new engineer to the CNC team. This way you will have familiar people who are easy to use, so that Liu Bo won’t do anything bad to you behind your back. “

     Ye Mo knew his trouble: “Thank you.”

     Manager Xie handed over the appointment letter with both hands, and said carefully: “Chief Engineer Ye, half of our engineering department’s hopes for this year’s performance rest on your shoulders. Come on, you’re the best!!”

     “…”

     Ye Mo made an OK gesture. No matter what, she was able to win in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States copy, thanks to Manager Xie’s help, thanks to him often showing off or crying about his ups and downs in the officialdom.

     The science and engineering men in the project team seemed to have received this good news, and they were all happy. This was told to them by the new project director engineer.

     The new director engineer’s name is Lü Ruisheng. He is in his thirties and is said to have graduated with a master’s degree from Harbin Institute of Technology. After graduation, he also worked for a well-known company and has several production patents. Now he has successfully joined the ranks of homebodies. It seems that his interpersonal skills are still quite good.

     When Ye Mo arrived at her original department, she happened to see such a happy scene. This was good and convenient for work. She knocked on the door twice, “Happy New Year, come to get the red envelope.”

     “Happy New Year, Director Ye!”

     “Director Ye is getting more and more beautiful.”

     “Happy New Year!”

     “Not Director, but Chief Engineer Ye.” Lü Ruisheng smiled and resolved his embarrassment. Due to the transfer of the project, Ye Mo is now his direct superior.

     “Just call me Engineer Ye.”

     Ye Mo’s office transfer went smoothly. Because this was the new position of Chief Engineer, her office was quieter than the previous one and was also close to the personal laboratory she requested.

     That morning, in addition to moving the office, she also finished all the work for the week – planning this year’s CNC plan.
