#10 - Chapter 10 The End
September 29th.
On this day, Qin Jin released a message.
He asked Zhong Yu to convey it, requiring everyone to gather in the office building's main conference room.
He had something to announce.
Before long.
Except for the gatekeeper, all the factory employees had arrived.
Qin Jin walked into the conference room last, heading straight for the head seat.
He scanned everyone present, imprinting their faces in his mind.
These people might be his comrades, partners, and subordinates in the future.
Everyone also sized him up in succession.
Some had already interacted with him during this period, even moving various materials together.
Some were seeing their boss for the first time due to their clerical work or irrelevant positions.
They were all curious about what this strange boss had gathered everyone for.
Qin Jin didn't keep the employees waiting and sat directly in the main seat, saying:
"Thank you very much for choosing Green Source! I'm also fortunate that we can work together in the future. The reason I've gathered everyone here today, besides letting you get to know each other, is to announce that our company will start its Golden Week holiday early tomorrow afternoon!"
"And to announce that after the National Golden Week holiday, our company will hold a large-scale opening celebration. The time is set for the evening of October 10th, and I hope everyone can bring their relatives to congratulate us in advance!"
"The company will cover all travel and accommodation expenses for employees' family members and friends!"
"Wow——-"
The employees burst into an uproar, their eyes widening, looking at each other, suspecting they had misheard.
What kind of boss and company was this?
Was it really this good?
Qin Jin had expected this.
He stretched out his hands and pressed down.
Seeing the scene quickly quiet down, he continued:
"I haven't finished yet. In addition to covering all accommodation and travel expenses for family members, there will also be various lucky draw sessions at our opening ceremony that night. There will be many prizes worth ten thousand yuan. Ordinary employees can bring one family member, and managers can bring two family members. Everyone can participate in the lucky draw. Welcome everyone to come and support us! Thank you, everyone. I hope you can create greater value for the company in the future!"
After speaking, he left the conference room directly, ignoring the crowd who were still in excitement.
Leaving the employees to continue talking happily.
Employee A said: "What kind of amazing company is this!? I thought I had come to the wrong place when I first joined. Now I just feel like I've won the lottery. I need to post this on my WeChat Moments!"
Employee B said: "I don't have a girlfriend or siblings, so I'll just have my parents who are farming in my hometown come."
Employee C said: "I now announce that the boss is definitely a good person, a future big entrepreneur!"
The employees were all chatting cheerfully.
They expressed their longing for a better life in the future.
As well as the joy of going home for the holiday soon.
Qin Jin returned to his office and called Zhong Yu, saying to him:
"Ayu, take this holiday to spend time with your family. Come back to work after the holiday. Remember to bring all your family members to the opening celebration. I allow you to bring all your family members, and Zhang Bowen and the others can bring three people, including Liu Wenhao. Go down and inform them later, and let them try to bring their families to celebrate. Just say it's my order!"
"I haven't had a meal with your parents in a long time. The last time I went to your house to eat with your parents was in high school. Remember to bring your parents and younger brother this time! Be sure to remember!"
Although Zhong Yu was also a little surprised by Qin Jin's arrangements and this generous gesture.
But after several months of working together, he already knew that he shouldn't disobey or guess the boss's thoughts at this time.
Even though this person used to be his good friend.
He quickly adapted to his role and replied obediently: "Received, President Qin."
Watching Ayu leave the office to handle matters, Qin Jin silently closed his eyes.
He thought a lot in his mind.
His childhood friend was no longer someone he could simply chat and joke with.
Although he had gained a lot, he had also lost some things.
But he would not regret it.
It was all for the sake of survival.
His arrangement was to try to tie this group of people to his chariot as much as possible!
When the apocalypse comes, it is difficult for a lone wolf with no attachments to feel a sense of belonging to the base.
He used to be that kind of person.
Only by firmly grasping a person's attachments can they develop a sense of identity and belonging to this place!
In the future, they will unconsciously maintain this place.
And not allow others to destroy it.
After his calculations, the maximum number of family members attending would be more than forty people.
Some might not come for various reasons, but he was too lazy to care. As long as the general direction was correct.
On his side, due to his parents' few siblings, he only had about ten relatives.
So the expected attendees were his uncle's family, aunt's family, and eldest uncle's family.
These relatives must be brought.
As for their other relatives, Qin Jin couldn't care so much. After three generations, they become strangers, especially in today's society.
Calculating like this.
The final base population is expected to reach a scale of eighty to ninety people!
Silently thinking about what might be missing in the plan.
Qin Jin suddenly thought of something else.
He took out his phone and dialed a number with anticipation.
After the other side answered, he asked: "Mr. Zhang, do you have any news about Li Cai, who I entrusted you to find?"
The person on the other side seemed to be familiar with Qin Jin. Facing his question, he replied directly:
"President Qin, I've been looking for this person for more than two months, including mobilizing the connections in my circle. It's really hard to find! The information you provided is too little. You have to know that Shenzhen is a big city with tens of millions of people. Finding someone in such a large area is really like looking for a needle in a haystack! It takes time!"
Qin Jin couldn't help but feel disappointed again after hearing this.
It had been several months, and he still hadn't found her.
"Please continue to help me find her and speed up the process. I'll transfer another 100,000 to your account immediately. If you find her within a week, I'll give you another 500,000!"
After speaking, he was too lazy to wait for the other side to speak, sighed, and hung up the phone.
Sitting in the chair, he was lost in thought.
The person he had just contacted was a famous private investigator in Shenzhen.
A few months ago, he personally went to their company to explain this business and asked them to help find a girl.
A girl who had struggled to survive with him in his previous life.
Unexpectedly, several months had passed and there was still no news.
He also felt helpless.
He had a good relationship with the girl in his previous life. Although he knew some information about her, he never specifically asked where she lived or where she worked.
It was the apocalypse, who would pay attention to these things from before?
Not to mention, who knew he would be reborn.
Maybe this was fate.
At least she should still survive after mutating. Maybe there would be a chance to meet again in the place where they originally met in the future.
He cheered himself up.
He also had to go home.
Back to the home where he grew up.
To savor the peaceful times one last time.
——————
Golden Week.
This is an important holiday in China.
Almost all working people choose to return to their homes to reunite with their families.
Second only to the New Year.
Qin Jin returned to his home in Shenzhen again, staying with his parents for three days.
He didn't go out to travel or indulge in food.
He simply stayed at home.
Eating the meals cooked by his mother.
Occasionally, he would personally cook a meal himself, carefully enjoying the tranquility.
Three days later.
After instructing his parents to come to the factory on the 8th to help prepare for the company's opening celebration.
As the parents of the boss, their attendance was their undeniable duty.
He told them to be sure to lock the doors and windows of their house, and Qin Jin drove back to the base.
In this last moment of tranquility, he envied those novel protagonists who could still eat and drink to their heart's content.
He didn't have the mindset of wanting to taste all the delicacies in the world now.
All he had was a sense of oppression and heaviness.
And the sense of powerlessness in the face of the overwhelming waves.
He was in the factory, silently checking the supplies in each warehouse in the base.
Whether each type of material was stored in place.
Whether there were any omissions.
Whether the supporting systems were working properly.
Whether spare parts were prepared.
His footsteps slowly left their mark in each room.
After walking through the rooms, he came to the warehouse and the greenhouse planting area.
Carefully checking whether each space met his requirements.
And silently recording in his notebook what he needed to ask people to improve in the last few days.
He didn't even spare the soil for planting, making sure to use fertile black soil.
Finally.
He silently checked the surrounding walls.
This wall would be their lifeline in the future and must not be lost!
Looking inch by inch, touching inch by inch, until he walked the entire distance.
He came to the gatekeeper's post at the gate.
Walking into the guard booth, there was a middle-aged uncle on duty.
Seeing the boss coming over, he quickly put down his phone, stood up, saluted, and greeted: "Hello, Boss!"
Qin Jin waved his hand, didn't stand on ceremony, went in, found a chair, and sat down.
He casually chatted with the gatekeeper, saying: "I remember you, your name is Zhang Dong, right? Work hard."
The gatekeeper named Zhang Dong was flattered. He didn't expect that the boss would remember the name of a small person like him. He also felt a little touched in his heart.
The two of them chatted casually like this.
Time quickly came to the evening.
Qin Jin turned and left, returning to his home in the factory.
Unconsciously, he had become the boss of a medium-sized enterprise.
This was something he had never imagined before.
If it could always be like this.
Wouldn't it be the beginning of another story?
Unfortunately, the things he had to do could not stop.
Confirming that the base had done its best according to his ideas and requirements.
Next was just waiting.
——————
October 8th.
Working people ended their respective holidays.
Dragging their tired bodies back to their posts.
Holidays are just embellishments, work is the main theme.
The people of Green Source Company also returned to their posts. Some people whose hometowns were far away had directly brought their relatives who were going to participate in the opening ceremony when the holiday ended.
In just two or three days, some people simply came earlier.
Basically, all employees brought their family members, except for a few who were really inconvenient.
Qin Jin silently looked at the statistics from the personnel department, keeping them in mind.
It was about the same as expected.
Next was to prepare for the celebration.
Ordering food, arranging the venue, giving speeches, etc. There were many things to do, and there were also many last things to prepare before the apocalypse.
