Chapter 64: If You Don't Know How to Lead a Team, You'll End Up Working Yourself to Death

Liu Zhizhi looked at the rapidly increasing comments on her optical brain, a smile curving the corners of her mouth.

Nowadays, major bases were all hoping Boss Lu would grace them with a visit, and who could manage to invite her depended entirely on their strength.

The lottery ticket shop was bustling beyond measure. The thirty-five books of scratch cards purchased yesterday morning had sold out before noon. Afterward, seventy more books were bought, along with five books of each of the other three types.

The convenience store was even busier, leaving no time to rest. Thinking that the Blossom Base had a relatively small population, they had only set up six full shelves.

Who could have expected that everything would be snapped up in half an hour? Shen Bing hurriedly used the earned points to restock.

He called over a few little ones to help stock the shelves and even pressed Luo Mu, who was wandering around nearby, into hard labor.

Luo Mu shook his head frantically in refusal, "No way, I have to stay near Boss Lu. I'm part of the outfield staff!"

Shen Bing: So furious! Yet completely helpless!

With no other choice, he kicked Luo Mu right in the backside and sent him flying.

The residents of Blossom Base were crazy when it came to scratching tickets; they didn't need to eat and felt no fatigue. Fortunately, Lu Li and the others had eaten breakfast in the morning, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to keep up with their stamina, staying busy all the way until nightfall...

Seeing that it was completely dark and checking the time, Lu Li cursed softly—damn, it was half past seven!

She hurriedly pulled Liu Zhizhi over. "Base Leader, I can't work anymore. Let's call it a day."

Liu Zhizhi looked at the large crowd of girls who were still unsatisfied, and then looked at the exhausted and haggard Boss Lu.

She thought to herself that she shouldn't fleece her too hard all at once, just in case Boss Lu decided not to come back in the future.

With this in mind, Liu Zhizhi picked up the megaphone and announced, "Alright everyone, scratch the one in your hands and then disperse. Go back early and get some rest!"

The residents within Blossom Base were deeply loyal to Liu Zhizhi and naturally very obedient. The moment they heard this, they nodded.

They finished scratching their current tickets at lightning speed. Those who won exchanged their prizes, while those who didn't win didn't make a fuss, dispersing very quietly.

Seeing that the crowd over there had dispersed, Shen Bing decided to finish selling what was left on the shelves and then pack up to close the store.

As it neared eight o'clock, the square grew quiet. Liu Zhizhi once again expressed her sincere gratitude, "Thank you, Boss Lu, for giving us hope."

Lu Li: Huh? I just came here to earn points...

To keep up appearances, she could only say, "Small matter, just doing what I should."

Then she added, "I won't be coming tomorrow, but I'll be operating outside the base. Anyone who wants to come can do so at any time."

Though filled with regret, Liu Zhizhi was helpless and nodded in agreement, watching the RV swiftly drive away from the base.

Once outside the base, parked in her original spot, Lu Li stretched lazily and slumped in her chair, unwilling to move an inch.

She realized she couldn't go on like this. If you don't know how to lead a team, you'll just work yourself to death!

She needed to delegate management and give herself some free time. That was the true essence of being a boss!

Lu Li had an epiphany, her bright eyes rolling as she looked at the few people walking back and forth inside the RV.

Xiao Di would do; she had a clear and logical mind, the ability to handle emergencies, and most importantly, courage!

Dadong was also fine, though a bit noisy and not very meticulous, but he was bold and strong.

Zhan Ting was very meticulous, but introverted, not good at communication, and a bit timid.

As for the other two little boys, one named Shen Shi and the other Shen Li, both names given by Shen Bing, adopting his surname.

Their personalities were similar to Zhan Ting's. Perhaps having been abandoned in childhood, they were somewhat timid and lacked self-confidence.

But it didn't matter. As long as they could work, Lu Li wouldn't mind. She needed manpower too badly right now!

To begin with, selling lottery tickets required a dedicated person, and selling scratch cards required another. That made two right off the bat, so she reserved those positions for Xiao Di and Zhan Ting.

The other three boys could go to Shen Bing's convenience store. Calculated this way, it was just about enough people.

They just needed to be trained! Lu Li was full of fighting spirit!

Right now, however, her stomach began to rumble. When in doubt, eat first...

Of course, evening called for high-calorie foods. Today, someone had scratched out a barbecue gift package containing a full hundred skewers of mixed meats and vegetables.

Moreover, they were the kind that were already grilled and ready to eat immediately, exuding a piping-hot charcoal aroma mixed with the scent of cumin and spices.

It smelled intensely amazing!

It made Lu Li's mouth water like crazy...

She picked and chose in the mall, calculating in her mind that barbecue wasn't very filling, especially with——so many people.

Lu Li first ordered a five-hundred-skewer barbecue combo, followed by staple foods like fried rice, fried noodles, and cold skin noodles.

She catered to everyone's tastes, though in truth, Shen Bing and the others weren't picky at all; as long as they had something good to eat, they were happy.

They were even a bit scared that their appetites would be spoiled by Boss Lu, and they wouldn't know what to do if they ever left her...

At the thought of this, Luo Mu immediately dismissed the idea and secretly swore that he would cling to Boss Lu for the rest of his life!

"Come, come, come! Dinner is served!" Lu Li called out to everyone with her hands on her hips like a cafeteria lady.

The bustling crowd, busy with their chores, heard that food was being served, immediately dropped what they were in the middle of, and sprinted over.

Looking at the fragrant, piping-hot barbecue on the table, they began to swallow wildly against their will, with Luo Mu being the most exaggerated.

His eyes glued to the barbecue, he had already "eaten" it tens of thousands of times with his gaze. If he weren't afraid of being beaten by Lu Li, he would have grabbed some with his hands already.

Having five hundred skewers of barbecue piled together was quite a spectacle, surrounded by neatly arranged boxes of fried noodles and fried rice...

"Sit down." Lu Li had also prepared drinks for everyone; people who worked hard deserved to eat well and sleep well.

That way they would have more energy to work...

The little ones sat together, looking at the skewers of meat and vegetables before them, not daring to make a move.

So they quietly observed how Sister Lu ate. They saw her pick up a metal skewer loaded with meat and place it horizontally into her mouth.

With a bite and a pull, a large mouthful of meat entered her mouth, leaving a bit of cumin and spice at the corners of her lips.

Lesson learned, lesson learned. The little ones didn't want to be outdone and started eating, their mouths shining with grease.

Dadong went "sss-ha, sss-ha" as he ate, occasionally pouring sips of the drink into his mouth to relieve the spiciness.

Lu Li laughed when she saw this, asking with some confusion, "Is it really that spicy?"

Dadong nodded frantically, stuffing meat into his mouth while squeezing out the words, "Spicy, so spicy."

So spicy yet he still had to eat it. Wonderful, wonderful.

After an extremely delicious barbecue meal, everyone felt thoroughly satisfied.

Once full and content, Lu Li asked, "How much did the convenience store make today?"

Shen Bing took a look and was startled: a five-digit point balance. You have to remember that buying this two-story convenience store had cost him all his points...

He hadn't expected to earn it all back in a single day, and the cost of restocking was practically negligible.

A bucket of instant noodles in the near-expiration category was only 5 points, yet selling it directly fetched 75 points. You could just imagine the profit the middleman made...

The items that sold the most today were instant noodles and bottled water, which also happened to have the highest unit prices.

After counting quickly, he reported, "Twenty-two thousand and fifty..."

"Wow..." The little ones nearby immediately let out gasps of admiration. So many! Their eyes sparkled as they looked at Lu Li with worship.

Lu Li felt a little embarrassed. After rewarding each of them with a lollipop, she also took a look at her point balance.

Goodness gracious, after just two days at the Blossom Base, she had earned sixty thousand points. When it came to purchasing power, you really had to count on the girls!

Soon, another five-pointed star for a base could be lit up~

Lu Li thought happily, then felt a tap on her shoulder. It was Shen Bing.
