Manager Liao's Hopeless Vacation

To make a few more rocking chairs, Cao Shutong had also selected several types of firewood; she wanted to make one out of each type.

Therefore, after Cao Shutong finished checking the news at home, she went directly into her Space.

Following the plan she had prepared beforehand, Cao Shutong selected the firewood suitable for making rocking chairs. After giving them a rough processing, she stepped out of the Space.

While Cao Shutong was busy, Zhang Aiguo was not idle either.

After all, the patrol issue had still not been resolved, so Zhang Aiguo had no free time at all.

Furthermore, he wasn't the only one paying attention to this matter; many staff members in N City were also keeping an eye on it.

Up until now, he didn't know how many messages related to the patrol he had received.

It was just that he currently didn't know how to resolve it.

Although he didn't know what to do, Zhang Aiguo still carried out the necessary procedures.

As was his daily routine, Zhang Aiguo reported this matter to his superiors.

Zhang Aiguo still submitted the report under his real name. Thinking about the timing of his submission, he felt that the time was probably not far off.

Perhaps before long, the higher-ups would send someone to inspect and verify.

Of course, there was an eighty percent chance that it wouldn't be a person coming to verify, but rather a machine, which was highly likely.

Machines would maintain a high degree of impartiality, and Zhang Aiguo also hoped that a machine would come to verify.

Currently... he could only wait and see when the verification would arrive...

Thinking about it, Zhang Aiguo felt he probably still needed to hold a meeting to review the minutes of his conversation with Bai Chengxian first, to see if he could find any clues!

No sooner said than done, Zhang Aiguo immediately pressed the intercom button and spoke to Secretary Lin outside his office.

"Secretary Lin, please notify the meeting participants. I have already sent you the meeting list. I hope these people can arrive at my office within half an hour."

Secretary Lin replied respectfully, "Yes, Director Zhang."

Zhang Aiguo then released his finger from the button.

While Zhang Aiguo was preparing to hold the meeting, the research institute was also mobilized by Manager Liao.

Due to the large-scale leave this time, Manager Liao temporarily had the authority to mobilize all staff members of the research institute, an authority that Zhang Aiguo had intentionally granted him.

Regarding this authority, Manager Liao had been very happy before receiving it.

After all... a vacation... who wouldn't be happy~

In any case, he himself was very happy.

However, after receiving Zhang Aiguo's document, Manager Liao was no longer so happy.

This was the final stretch of the holiday. As long as he got through this special period, he could lie down and rest at home, enjoying a home-cooked meal.

Consequently, this document from Zhang Aiguo prevented him from taking his leave.

The content of this document was no different from making him indirectly work overtime.

He went from someone looking forward to a vacation to someone working continuous overtime... indeed~

Although he had greater authority, this was not what Manager Liao wanted.

He just wanted to go home, sleep in, and be a bit lazy...

As it turned out, he wasn't even given a single chance.

Manager Liao's current situation was like this.

Holding his mobile phone, he selected the researchers who needed to be notified and made the calls.

"Hello, is this Researcher Fan? The research institute has an urgent task and needs to organize a small team. I have included you in it..."

After speaking, Manager Liao hung up and notified the next person.

Operating step by step like this, Manager Liao finally notified everyone who needed to be notified.

Actually, there was a more convenient method.

That was to directly pull these people into a chat group and notify them directly in the group.

However, something had happened in the past.

Because of directly pulling people into groups, some researchers didn't like checking group chats. Even though they had joined the group, they didn't see the messages and didn't even know they had been in the group for a long time.

Subsequently, this led to a series of incidents, which then directly caused an experiment to be delayed.

The experimental results were not submitted within the expected time.

And the person in charge of contact for the research team was given a major demerit because of this.

This incident was even treated as a typical case, known to everyone.

This also resulted in the organizers preferring to use phone calls to contact people during the subsequent formation of research teams, and the call logs were well preserved.

Manager Liao, because of this, also had to endure the tedious process of notifying each person individually.

After all, although this was a bit troublesome, the benefits were not small—at least his responsibility was transferred.

Through the call logs, he could prove he had notified the right people.

After notifying everyone, Manager Liao counted the call logs he had saved. Finding the number correct, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason he only breathed half a sigh of relief was that he still needed to notify Secretary Lin and include her.

Seeing his set time and knowing he had completed it within the expected timeframe, and after Secretary Lin also replied to his message, Manager Liao finally breathed the other half of his sigh of relief.

While the N City Research Institute was organizing manpower.

The newly relocated people there were not idle either.

To be precise, ever since they moved into this government research housing, these people had never been idle.

Having just entered this house, before their belongings were even arranged, they began exploring the house to check if it had a surveillance system.

These relocated personnel acted as if they had rehearsed beforehand, dividing the work and cooperating, with each person assigned to an area.

Then, these relocated personnel simultaneously took off the watches on their wrists.

Through careful observation, one could discover that although these watches did not look very similar on the outside.

But once the outer casing of these watches was removed, one could find that they were all made from the same mold, without any difference.

These people touched the watches in some special way, and the watches immediately deformed.

From a static watch, they turned into small detection devices that could move automatically.

Several people raised their heads, looking at the detection devices hovering in the air.

A magnetic voice rang out, "It seems N City is only so-so~ they didn't even detect this small device."

This person thought to himself that before they arrived, the types and quantities of items they could bring had been restricted.

Even after getting off the plane, their entire bodies and luggage had undergone special inspections.

The result... was only this?

They didn't even detect such a small device.

Truly... Haha~

Before this person could think further.

A hoarse voice also sounded.

"Don't underestimate this city. We have a mission this time. Everyone be careful and don't delay the work!"

As soon as this voice fell, responses rang out from all around.

"Teacher, I know!"

"Understood!"

"Teacher, we will pay attention!"

Looking at everyone's serious expressions, he also knew these people knew their boundaries.

He thought to himself that the people standing here probably all knew their boundaries.

Anyone who didn't know their boundaries probably didn't have the right to stand here.

One must know that this plan absolutely did not allow for failure.

For this action, they had spent a huge amount of resources.

They also had no right to fail; this plan only allowed for success, not failure.

Furthermore... once they succeeded, they... would probably...

The more he thought about their success, the more ferocious his expression became.

However, this ferocity was not a gloomy one, but rather a ferocious smile, which made people even more terrified.

This ferocious smile did not last long; he immediately retracted it, once again maintaining a stern expression as he said:

"Alright, say no more. Go inspect quickly!"

With that, these people immediately went into action.

And this inspection was repeated five times.

They still took turns inspecting.

They wanted to ensure that there was no overlap in each inspected area.

"Area A, none."

"Area B, none."

"Area N, none."

"..."

After compiling the reports, these people discovered that N City had indeed not equipped them with any surveillance system.
