Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

bang bang.

"Boss Chen, this is Li Jia. I'm here to bring people to hand over the supplies."

Li Jia's voice rang out from outside the door, and Bai Lu got up to open it.

Bai Lu was in a bad mood because of Luo Qing's matter, so she had a tense face when she went to open the door.

However, her sudden seriousness startled Li Jia.

Li Jia asked cautiously, "Sister-in-law, are you angry because I handed it in too slowly?"

He has been working very hard to pack things up.

However, with so many of them, it's inevitable that it will take some time.

Bai Lu kept a straight face: "We knew you would hand it in, we never pressured you, am I angry?"

After she asked the question, she realized why Li Jia had asked it.

"Don't overthink it, it's not because of you. Come in."

She was very unhappy with Luo Qing's behavior, hence her displeasure.

Even after opening the door for Li Jia, she still couldn't shake off her disgust for Luo Qing.

Li Jia nodded: "Okay, okay."

Li Jia led a few people into the house and handed over the supplies that the team members were supposed to hand over after looting the day, along with the joint record documents, to Chen An and Jiang Lai respectively.

"Boss Chen, Sister-in-law Jiang, everything is here. If there's nothing else you need, we'll take our leave so as not to disturb your rest."

After Li Jia left, Bai Lu hugged Chen An's arm and looked up at him: "Honey, our team is growing, and it's getting troublesome to always have Li Jia collect the supplies from the team leaders. Why don't we change our management method?"

She was also reminded by Li Jia's words.

It's not that I think it's too slow.

After all, Li Jia had already done his best in everything he did.

However, with the increasing number of people, their system needs improvement.

"Hmm, tell me, what's your management style?"

Chen An raised his other hand and gently stroked the tip of the egret's nose.

It seems her mind is working again.

Bai Lu sat up straight and earnestly explained her thoughts to Chen An in detail—

"Honey, aside from the other scattered members, you now control five buildings."

As she said this, she stretched out one hand.

Then, she used her other hand to tap each of her five fingers one by one.

He said, "I think we can appoint a building manager for each building and elect a floor manager for each floor."

"The floor manager is under the jurisdiction of the building manager, and the building manager is under our jurisdiction. They can contact our people directly."

"When it comes time to hand over the supplies, the floor leaders will collect the supplies that each floor needs to hand over and give them to the building leader, who will then lead the people to hand over the total supplies."

"We still hold the most power; we're just letting them govern themselves. Honey, what do you think?"

As soon as Bai Lu finished speaking, her back went limp, and she threw herself straight into Chen An's arms.

In fact, they had used this method to issue tasks before.

She looked for Li Jia, Li Jia looked for the team leader, and the team leader looked for the members.

However, now it's broken down to each individual building.

Chen An listened, pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement: "Your idea is good. We're not afraid to give up power, as long as we can get things done. Why not give us some power to work hard?"

To be precise, he has always been relinquishing power.

He instructed Jiang Lai and Bai Lu to operate the equipment to the best of their ability.

They figured the more power they were given, the more daring they would be to do things.

All he needs to know is that he is the one in the highest position.

The egret's idea was affirmed, which fueled its passion even more.

Then she continued, "Honey, we could also make some changes to our patrol system."

As she said this, she looked up at Chen An.

The latter merely raised an eyebrow, gesturing for her to continue.

Bai Lu immediately understood and continued, "For example, each of the other buildings can also have patrols, and the building manager can be responsible for making the arrangements. Our downstairs patrol team will be changed to only use people from our own building."

"Of course, the people patrolling the wall are still doing it as usual, and they schedule their own shifts."

They need to appoint floor managers and building managers, so naturally they can do it themselves.

Otherwise, with so many people in five buildings, it would take a long time to arrange things for each of them individually.

Jiang Lai looked at the egret with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

"Honey, I also think White Fox's approach is great. After all, our team has 18,000 people, and there will definitely be more in the future, even to the point of ruling the entire neighborhood."

"It's really impossible for us to manage everything on our own; it's definitely better to delegate tasks."

She hoped that Bailu could always remain so proper.

Stop trying to seduce Chen An!

However, this idea is unlikely to come true.

If Bai Lu had any sense of shame, she would have changed her ways long ago the moment she first called her a vixen.

"Big sister, I didn't know you could praise me like that. I'm so touched~ To show my gratitude, I'll take care of your husband tonight, since you must be exhausted today."

The egret immediately seized the opportunity to gain an advantage for itself.

Almost instantly, alarm bells went off in Jiang Lai's mind.

She sat up abruptly and pushed Bai Lu away from Chen An's arms.

He glared at her displeased and said, "You little vixen, you wish! I praised you because your method is indeed excellent, but you're trying to take advantage of me to steal my darling? No way!"

After Jiang Lai finished speaking, she hugged Chen An and said coquettishly, "Darling, I'll take care of you again tonight, okay?"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at the egret.

She knew that while egrets could be clever when they wanted to be, they wouldn't leave anyone any way out when they were being unruly.

Jiang Lai nestled in Chen An's arms, closing her eyes to listen to his heartbeat.

Two minutes later, she propped herself up on her arms and sat up.

With bright eyes, she said to Chen An, "Darling, I was inspired by Bailu's method!"

"What inspiration did you draw?"

Chen An asked gently.

Meanwhile, Chu Lexiao and Huo Ling'er and the other girls watched from the side, whispering and teasing each other.

"Look, Sister Bailu and Sister Jianglai are at it again. One is offering a suggestion, and the other is not to be outdone."

Chu Lexiao said with a smile.

She felt it was a good thing not to get involved in the competition for favor, since she could watch their drama of vying for attention anytime, anywhere.

Moreover, the sisters didn't use the ruthless methods described in those novels.

Instead, they used their wits to come up with one good solution after another.

It can not only improve the level of competition, but also enhance the overall strength.

"How do they think? Why can't I come up with these good ideas no matter how hard I try?"

Huo Ling'er said with envy in her eyes.

She's been trying to think things through a lot lately, but she always manages to make things worse.

Otherwise, it will become a laughing stock.

Xia Yue patted her shoulder and said softly, "Ling'er, why don't we stop making things difficult for ourselves and just focus on doing our jobs well?"

Huo Ling'er puffed out her cheeks and thought for a while before calming herself down.

She sat bolt upright, slapped her hands on her thighs, and said sternly, "That's right, nothing in this world is difficult if you're willing to give up!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lexiao suddenly looked up at her, blinking in confusion, "Is it really that easy?"

On the other side, Jiang Lai shared her thoughts with Chen An.

"Honey, I went out with you today and saw a lot of usable materials outside. I think those materials can not only be sold, but also used to produce supplies ourselves."
