Chapter 498 Official New Mission
Anjiu and her grandmother had a way out, so they didn't feel such a strong sense of urgency about this matter.
But she can understand everyone's anxiety.
No one spoke for a long time afterwards.
They all looked towards the intersection, with a light in their eyes that they were not even aware of.
A Ling couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere.
She said, "I'm going to get some fresh air in the front."
Several others followed suit, saying, "I'm going to get some fresh air in the front too, let's go."
This was a very poor excuse, but no one exposed it and they just watched them disappear at the intersection.
"Xiaojiu, let's go home and take a look."
"Ah."
They returned home, and the scene outside the window remained the same, with the rain still falling, but the fog looked a little dimmer.
An Jiu stood by the window and looked at the transparent barrier outside the building. If she was not mistaken, it seemed to be even more unstable, flickering and dimming.
What caused this?
"If the authorities really don't care, how will we live our lives..."
Grandma sat by the bed, looking at the empty window worriedly.
If the authorities wanted to intervene, they would have done so by now.
Oh, it's hanging.
"I think they will take care of it," An Jiu turned around, "maybe they don't have time to come up now."
"What?"
"I think the windows downstairs are also rotten. It's impossible that only the 48th floor was damaged."
If what she thought was true, the authorities must be very busy now.
The first people to be appeased must be the high-ranking citizens downstairs, and then it will be their turn here.
So there's no use worrying about it.
The authorities would not allow the windows to be left wide open. If an insect plague like last time happened again, everyone in the building would be killed.
"As long as the government fixes it, it's fine!" Grandma finally smiled, "It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later!"
Anjiu also moved away from the window.
The exterior wall has been corroded by rain, and it is hard to tell which part might become loose, which could easily lead to an accident.
She sat next to her grandmother, looking relaxed.
"Who knows, Manager Yang might call everyone over again soon."
"We'll discuss this in a meeting?"
"It's possible, or maybe it's to announce a new official mission to everyone."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried running in the corridor, and the person came straight here following the noise.
Grandma stood up and walked towards the door.
As soon as there was a knock, she opened the door.
Outside was A Ling, who was running out of breath.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said quickly: "Aunt! Xiaojiu! Come with me to the platform area quickly, Manager Yang said that the official task is about to be released!"
Grandma turned around suddenly, her eyes filled with shock.
Anjiu shrugged.
"Let's go. If we go too late, there will be no good place."
Everyone in the hallway was running, trying to get to the best spot.
"I asked the neighbors who live on the same street to help save a spot. Follow me!"
A Ling led the way in front, and An Jiu followed closely behind, holding her grandmother's hand.
"Sister, we are here! Auntie Xiaojiu, please sit down, this is it!"
A Ling sat with the neighbor who helped her reserve a seat and expressed her gratitude to him/her in a low voice.
Grandma sat down next to her, and Anjiu sat next to her.
This location is indeed very close to the center, Yang Xuezhen. It is not far from them. Such a close distance makes it very convenient whether you can hear the voice or raise your hand to sign up.
In less than 20 seconds, the platform area was full of people.
This may be the fastest time to gather everyone together except for the first day of work.
Everyone kept quiet tacitly, waiting for Yang Xuezhen in the middle to make the announcement.
Yang Xuezhen cleared his throat tiredly.
"I think everyone knows why we called you here this time."
Everyone said in unison, "Yes!"
He waved his hand. "No need to answer, just listen to me. From now on, I will only say each sentence once. You must listen carefully. If you miss it, it will be your own loss."
Everyone sat up straight with their backs straight, and some put their hands behind their ears for support.
"First things first, I need all - remember all men to stand up!"
The men cheered and stood up one by one.
"Very good. Come, walk forward a few steps and come to me. Don't crowd. Come in rows. Start from the direction of my finger. Yes, you come over here."
The man pointed out by Yang Xuezhen walked up with an excited look on his face.
Yang Xuezhen glanced at him briefly and said, "Passed. Next."
No one knew what he was going to do, but they just followed his instructions.
Yang Xuezhen was very fast and passed all the people in 10 minutes.
"Those who have been chosen should follow my men downstairs."
When the men in line heard the message "go downstairs", their faces turned pale.
Those who were selected to replace the metal plates have not returned yet!
"...Administrator, why are you asking us to go downstairs? If we are going to leave the building, then we won't go."
"Manager Yang, you need to make it clear in advance what the specific job is."
"No, I will--"
"Alright, alright, stop doing this useless thing," Yang Xuezhen frowned, "I chose you to work in the mines, so stop talking nonsense, are you going?"
The men looked at each other.
"It's fine to go...but how much salary do you get per day?"
"100 contribution points."
Their eyes lit up.
"Go, go, go! We must go!"
"We're leaving now. With whom? With him?"
Yang Xuezhen winked at his men and said, "Just follow him."
"Next is the second task. Is there any house with windows, but they are all broken?"
Grandma A Ling and a group of neighbors shouted in unison, "Yes!!!"
Yang Xuezhen glanced at this place and said, "Come, everyone, come here."
Anjiu held down grandma's shoulders to prevent her from getting up, "I'll be there."
Only people living near the building had windows in their homes, and not many people came forward.
Yang Xuezhen took inventory and recorded the corresponding room numbers in the notebook.
"Go to my office to get the materials to repair the windows. Each person is limited to one set. If they are broken, you can only buy them yourself with your contribution points."
"…We repair it ourselves?"
"What else?" Yang Xuezhen closed the notebook, looking a little impatient, "We provided the materials, do we have to take care of the installation too?
"There are 48 floors in total, and we will install it one floor at a time, one household at a time. It will take until next year to install it in your home. And even if you have the time, we can't wait. Go get it now and have it installed as soon as possible."
"But...we still want to hear about the third mission."
Yang Xuezhen ignored the people who were talking, and continued to speak to the crowd as if they did not exist:
"The third task is to go downstairs and clean up the debris outside."
wow——
The quiet scene was suddenly filled with a variety of noises.
"We really need to leave the building!"
"Who dares to go out like this? No matter how much contribution points you are given, you can't do it!"
Yang Xuezhen scratched his ears and said lightly, "I'll give you 200 contribution points when you're done."
