Siheyuan, my new life

Upon hearing Zhao Xiangdong's words, the purchasing agents gave a listless reply, picked up their backpacks from their desks, and walked out of the office. Even Chen Dashan, who had already completed his task, did not linger and strolled out of the office with his backpack.

Noticing Guo Yongping's gaze, Zhao Xiangdong took out his cigarette case and said with a smile, "Xiao Guo, you're new to this job as a purchasing agent. Our purchasing department, Section 3, is an unplanned purchasing unit, so each purchasing agent has a different purchasing quota every month. We've also assigned each of us a purchasing area outside the city. You don't need to report to the factory every day. You just need to come to the Section 3 office every Monday morning for the weekly meeting and get your purchasing quota for the week. The prerequisite is that you can complete your task on time and within your quota. Come, let me explain the specific work methods and procedures to you in detail."

Guo Yongping had already taken out a pack of Peony cigarettes, handed one to the other person, then took out a match, lit it for Zhao Xiangdong, and lit one for himself as well.

After taking a puff of his cigarette, Zhao Xiangdong said with a smile, "That's right, Peony cigarettes are much better to smoke than economy cigarettes. They're smooth on the palate and don't burn your throat."

Guo Yongping said, feigning embarrassment, "Back in my rural hometown in Henan Province, I only ever smoked homemade tobacco with my father. It was only when I was sorting through my uncle's belongings that I found a few boxes of Peony cigarettes in a drawer, so I opened one and smoked a couple."

Zhao Xiangdong sighed softly: "I've heard about what happened to your uncle, Section Chief Dou. To be honest, he's suffered a lot over the years. His injuries were so severe that he hasn't fully recovered. Well, let's not dwell on the past. Come on, let me explain our task of purchasing three shares to you in detail."

Just as Zhao Xiangdong was earnestly introducing the job to Guo Yongping, Lin Yu was quietly listening to Zhou Tian's report in the secretary's office of the training base of the security department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

After a while, Lin Yu calmly instructed, "Since those transmigrators all have points in their respective systems, let's not waste them. Let them all purchase different technical materials from their system shops, focusing on civilian and military aspects. As for those Western transmigrators, just deal with them directly. Those who are not of our race will surely have different intentions. There is no need to keep these guys around."

Zhou Tian had no objection to his master's order. To Zhou Tian and his fellow ancient monsters who had lived for countless years, the lives of a mere three hundred Westerners were no different from crushing a few bugs. He simply asked in a low voice, "Master, what should we do with the twelve transmigrators within the capital city area?"

Lin Yu's face revealed a hint of sarcasm: "It seems that guy underground harbors some prejudice against the New Dragon Kingdom. Western countries each have at least twenty or thirty transmigrators, even the North Pole has over forty, while such a large country as the New Dragon Kingdom only has a mere twelve. If he achieves his goal, the New Dragon Kingdom's development will severely lag behind the West, and it's very likely to be constrained by Western countries for a long time. I'd like to see what kind of expression this guy will have when he finds out that all the transmigrators he painstakingly arranged to be in other countries have disappeared. Just follow your previous arrangements, have people closely monitor these twelve transmigrators at all times. Don't interfere too much with minor incidents; after all, these transmigrators have just arrived in this era from sixty years in the future, and they still need an adjustment period in both daily life and interpersonal interactions. However, if anyone is found to have committed a crime that endangers public safety, it must be stopped immediately, and they should be placed under separate supervision. To be honest, I'm also a bit of a headache with these twelve transmigrators. If they aren't properly restrained, I'm worried that some of them will take advantage of their so-called system and start to completely let loose."

Zhou Tian listened silently to his master's words, secretly amused. Just now, he had been criticizing the underground vermin for being prejudiced against the New Dragon Kingdom. In fact, he could understand Xing Lan's actions. After all, the New Dragon Kingdom not only had a weak industrial base, but its citizens also had a generally low level of education, with more than 80% of the population being illiterate. In particular, the current government was vigorously promoting public-private partnerships and gradually abolishing the private economy, which to some extent severely restricted the development of science and technology. If any of these twelve transmigrators could cooperate with the higher-ups and concentrate manpower and resources to vigorously develop basic industries and agriculture, then the New Dragon Kingdom's development level would not lag behind the West.

According to Zhou Di and others' soul-searching of the transmigrators captured from Western countries, the results were largely the same. The vast majority of these three hundred-plus transmigrators planned to raise funds and open their own private factories and companies after adapting to their surroundings, fully utilizing their acquired systems to amass enormous wealth for a life of extravagance. Even among the forty-odd transmigrators who arrived in the Arctic Bear's territory, more than forty of them were already thinking of escaping to Europe and America by any means possible, then using their systems to start companies, factories, and make a fortune. Even the remaining few... These guys, whose fathers held government positions, knew that if they fled to the West, their families would be implicated. So they were only thinking about secretly accumulating wealth, waiting for the right opportunity to leave the polar bear with their families. Obviously, these forty-odd guys who had crossed over into the polar bear territory had memories of more than sixty years from the future. Of course, they also realized that for a long time to come, given the nature of those in power in the polar bear, they would definitely not be given any room for development, unless they were willing to stay in the strictly controlled research institute for the rest of their lives and honestly be selfless and dedicated workhorses.

Although the souls of the twelve transmigrators in the capital city have not yet been searched, Zhou Tian can basically conclude that these people are unlikely to directly cooperate with the higher-ups. Having finally transmigrated and possessed a so-called system, how many of those guys from parallel worlds and later generations would be willing to be selfless workhorses?

Clearly, the master had realized this as well, so he did not directly order the twelve transmigrators to be kept under guard, nor did he deal with them all without mercy as he had dealt with transmigrators from Western countries. It has to be said that these guys who transmigrated into the capital city area were really lucky.
