Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Suspected Identity

Chapter 204 -204 Suspected Identity

Base Chief Wang was very curious, yet he also knew that there were some questions he couldn’t ask because people have their own ways of procuring things. That’s their own skill in making a living and also their privacy.

Looking at Lu Ruisheng, Base Chief Wang asked Li Shukang beside him, “Don’t you think Xiao Lu somewhat resembles Base Chief Lu?”

Li Shukang had felt this way before, but then again, there were plenty of people who looked alike.

Of course, he was also wary of Base Chief Wang. This man may seem honest, but he was craftier than a lotus root; it was best not to follow his line of conversation.

So Li Shukang said, “There are a lot of people who bear a resemblance to others. You’re overthinking it.”

Base Chief Wang thought about it and agreed. If they were related to Base Chief Lu, would they be cooperating with Li Shukang? He must have been overthinking it.

They were talking as they headed to the meeting room.

The head of the materials department, the exchange manager, and several leaders from last time had all come over. They had seen the materials, the process was familiar, and although they were surprised, it was their second time, so they were prepared.

This time they went straight to the small meeting room next door to discuss how to calculate their contribution points.

Gu Pan and the others arrived at the large meeting room first, sitting down to wait for news from the other side.

Lu Xuerong and Cheng Yang were also with them this time. Gu Pan had pulled them along and hadn’t let them leave because there was a part here that belonged to them.

While sitting, Secretary Wen also came in. He really couldn’t resist. Base Chief Lu was away at the research center, hadn’t returned yet, so he had no one to come with and had come by himself.

He had just returned from the greenhouse area, originally planning to resist the urge to come, but he hadn’t succeeded.

Seeing what they had was truly enviable. Now, no one could catch up to Li Shukang’s achievements. It seemed next year’s competition would be between Li Shukang and Base Chief Lu. Base Chief Lu had connections above, the immovable position of Old Master Lu at the main base, but from a standpoint of fair competition, Li Shukang had a greater chance of winning.

Now having given up the struggle, he was content to watch them compete.

Not long after, those who had been in the smaller meeting returned. The exchange manager took out a notebook and, after sitting down, said to Gu Pan and the others, “The value of your materials this time again exceeds the base’s predicted range, so the contribution points can still only be three thousand. You can make additional requests later, such as public service, housing, or any other demands. We’ll try our best to fulfill them.”

Gu Pan understood this, as the base had a cap on contribution points, and three thousand was the limit. So this was normal.

Originally, they could have brought back the materials in two trips, earning money twice, but it didn’t seem necessary. Getting a good impression this time would solidify their foundation in the base. From then on, they would have the initiative in any situation.

She thought about her friends still renting houses; it would be better to live close by in their own homes.

So she said, “My friends have also contributed to this batch of materials, so could they get a villa?”

The manager nodded, “Of course.”

Gu Pan stretched out her hand, “Two sets.”

The manager did not hesitate, “Okay, anything else?”

Gu Pan hadn’t expected to be able to ask for more. She looked at Lu Ruisheng.

Lu Ruisheng too hadn’t thought of anything else. They were not lacking in money or materials. After thinking, he said, “We hope for more fairness at the base. We’ve had trouble buying things before and encountered issues when seeking jobs. We want the base to develop better and it wouldn’t be in vain that we risked our lives to find materials.”

Gu Pan felt her husband was right. It was important to speak up about any grievances. Otherwise, how would others know? Now that they had the ability, they should have the confidence. Those with skills should have this kind of attitude.

Li Shukang listened to their conversation and looked at Base Chief Wang and Secretary Wen: “It seems we’ve been so focused on construction that we’ve neglected a lot.”

Base Chief Wang said, “Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for people to inspect every department. We can’t let the foundation we’re building be undermined from the very beginning. Our base can’t be worse than the others.”

Secretary Wen shared this sentiment, “Indeed, we need to find time to talk with the base chief about this. He’s focused on development, and while we understand the importance of research, the well-being of the base’s inhabitants is also crucial.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng listened to their conversation and thought about the research. It seemed the base was aware that the apocalypse wouldn’t end soon, so they were eager to find pills that could supplement energy and nutrients.

Gu Pan had always felt that there must be someone who survived longer than her in the apocalypse who had also been reborn, likely someone high up in Huaxia.

But this was just her analysis, and she didn’t know if it was correct.

Lu Ruisheng was thinking the same, after all, they couldn’t interject in the leaders’ discussion.

Li Shukang and the others talked about the base for a while before returning to the topic at hand.

Secretary Wen addressed Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, “If you have any problems and can’t find Secretary Li, come to me. Our base will certainly not let those who contribute suffer.”

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng quickly agreed. They had a better impression of the secretaries than of the base chief, whether good or bad.

Then Secretary Wen added, “The base really doesn’t have much else to give you. To be honest, the base is in debt to you for these exchanges. So in the future, if you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask. If the base can handle it, we’ll take care of it for you.”

To be honest, Secretary Wen was a smart man. Since he couldn’t compete for the position anyway, he stepped back from the race. But being a good person would help him stay secure in his secretary position, which was also a good thing.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng thanked Secretary Wen.

Deputy Base Commander Wang also stated that if there were any issues, it was okay to find them.

Li Shukang, a smart guy himself, had a fair idea of what Secretary Wen and Base Chief Wang were thinking. He was truly grateful to Qin Jun for having introduced such two valuable persons to him. Qin Jun was busy today and couldn’t come, but when he had time, he ought to treat him to a nice meal.

Once the discussion was more or less finished, and the papers for the houses and contribution points were handed to Gu Pan and her friends, it was getting dark. Li Shukang, feeling sympathetic to the fatigue Gu Pan and the others had endured over the past few days, urged them to hurry home and rest.

The truck remained parked on their side, which was good as it didn’t take up space at home.

Then they walked to the apartment building, first going to report safety to Feng Zhekai and to split the money and materials.

Arriving upstairs, they ran head-on into Zhang Ping as she was coming out of her door. Seeing them return home dusty and weary, she was full of curiosity, “Where have you guys been? Haven’t seen you in a couple of days? What happened?”

Gu Pan really disliked such people, “Nothing,” she said curtly, and they didn’t linger to engage with Zhang Ping, walking straight past her.

Zhang Ping thought to stop them, but a look from Lu Ruisheng stopped her in her tracks. Thinking it over, she went back home.

Gu Pan and the others ignored her and went straight to Lu Xuerong’s home.

In the familiar place, they settled into the living room. The electricity was on, which was quite convenient.
