#227 - Chapter 227 Chamber of Commerce Closing Meeting
"Of course, otherwise, why would I spend so much time and energy on this?" Yan Zhengping replied matter-of-factly, as if he didn't understand Bai Liji's meaning.
"What I mean is, since there's a good method, it should be popularized throughout the army," Bai Liji said with a very thick face.
"Didn't you just say I'm obsessed with raising rats?" Yan Zhengping threw the words back at him.
"Did I say that? I don't seem to remember," Bai Liji frowned and recalled, looking like he had no impression at all. If one didn't know what was going on, they would really be fooled by his acting skills.
"Act! You keep acting for me!" Yan Zhengping pointed at him with a smile, and said.
"I'm talking to you about serious matters!" Bai Liji interrupted him.
"I don't think it's necessary to popularize it," Yan Zhengping also became serious.
"Not necessary? Why?" Bai Liji didn't understand.
"We can make the breeding methods public and encourage various resettlement camps to breed them," Yan Zhengping said.
Bai Liji pondered for a long time and said:
"Letting the resettlement camps raise them is a win-win solution. It allows the resettlement camps to have something to do and also greatly increases the production of crystal cores. However, this matter still needs to be carefully considered. I don't think it's appropriate for the council to take the lead. The general direction of letting them be self-reliant and show their abilities cannot be changed. We can't let them develop the idea of relying on the council again. So, I think we should not interfere in this matter and let the military region handle it."
Yan Zhengping nodded.
This was the real Bai Liji, a Bai Liji with a well-thought-out plan.
… …
Binjiang City, headquarters of the Huatong Chamber of Commerce.
Today is the last day of training for the 1,200 reserve personnel recruited from various resettlement camps.
At a little after eight in the morning, the trainees all arrived at the auditorium.
Today is their graduation meeting.
The structure of the Chamber of Commerce's auditorium is a bit similar to a movie theater. The stage is not big and is located relatively low. The audience seats extend upwards in a stepped manner.
The auditorium is generally used for online meetings, multimedia teaching, and large conference rooms.
The full capacity inside is more than 1,600 people. The positions further back are equipped with LCD screens and amplifiers to ensure that people sitting in the back can see and hear clearly.
The meeting was about to begin, and everyone had taken their seats one after another.
They were a little nervous, wondering what kind of work they would be assigned next.
This month has been the most comfortable period they have had in the past year. Here, they don't have to worry about zombies attacking in the middle of the night, and they don't have to worry about three meals a day. They have obtained a comfortable life comparable to that before the apocalypse, and they all sincerely hope that such a life can continue.
They have already made up their minds in their hearts that as long as there is a chance, they will definitely seize it firmly. No matter how much it costs, no matter how hard they need to work, they will strive to stay here.
Of course, they also know that the pressure of competition is very high. At this moment, none of the people sitting in the auditorium are rookies. They were all top students or leaders in various industries before the apocalypse. It is not easy to stand out from these people.
No one communicated, no one chatted.
They just sat in their seats, waiting anxiously.
Before long, the substitute teachers walked in together and sat down in the front row.
Those substitute teachers also looked serious, and they didn't look much more relaxed than the trainees.
They were even more worried than these trainees. After the trainees complete their studies, they are destined to be assigned to various positions in the Chamber of Commerce, with a bright future. But they are very worried about their own future. Will they be sent back to Kyoto after the course is over?
No one wants to go back to Kyoto anymore, because those days were really too difficult.
Kyoto is under curfew within the city. Everyone stays at home and is not allowed to go out. They can only get very little living allowance every day, and it is difficult to fill their stomachs. Moreover, the types of supplies are scarce, and it often takes a great price to get something useful to them.
Compared with Kyoto, this place is simply heaven.
They can move freely and have unlimited supplies. They also get paid, and the salary can buy anything they need.
Everyone is friendly, and you don't need to look at anyone's face, and you don't need to beg for help for a little thing. They used to be intellectuals, and they were extremely repulsed by this. But during the time in Kyoto, they were forced to do so every day by life.
Among them, there was a professor in his fifties who knelt down to a supply distributor in his thirties in order to find an antipyretic medicine for his lover. He will never forget that experience in his life.
Therefore, these professors in charge of teaching also communicated privately, and they also wanted to find an opportunity to stay.
If the trainees knew what the teachers were thinking at this moment, I wonder what they would think.
Their competitors are not only the classmates who are receiving training together, but also their teachers…
