Facing Tang Yu’s inquiry, the receptionist girl pondered seriously, “There should be five people, I only remember one is preparing to open a restaurant, and another is planning to open a hair salon, the rest I’m not clear about.”
“A hair salon? Could that kind of shop have any business?”
“It’s very busy,” the girl blinked, “before the Sanctuary didn’t have a hair salon, it was alright for us girls, but the boys with too long hair either had to cut it themselves or tie it up, but it didn’t really look too good. Now that a hair salon has opened, business is so booming that you have to queue up for a long time.”
Tang Yu’s mouth twitched.
Damn it… as the Great Lord, he hadn’t paid attention to these things, and yet others were fussier about their appearance than he was?
Tang Yu scratched his own hair; it was a bit long.
His gaze flickered, and through the grand hall’s floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw his own reflection.
Dignified and commanding…
‘Though his hair was uncut and somewhat messy, it added a wild and unrestrained charm to his handsomeness.’
Indeed, this was the reason he hadn’t cut his hair.
…
…
Led by the receptionist girl, the two made their way to the minister’s office.
To Tang Yu’s surprise, Eileen’s office was not on the third floor.
Individual business was conducted on the first floor, departmental transfer on the second floor, and when the receptionist girl introduced it this way, Tang Yu instinctively thought that Eileen would be on the third floor.
‘Luckily I didn’t go up by myself, otherwise, as the venerable Sanctuary Director, if I couldn’t even find the minister’s office, it would be embarrassingly stupid!’
They bypassed the staircase entrance, and Tang Yu saw a tightly closed large door beyond the slanted staircase.
The girl took out her identity card and placed it on the recognition device next to the door. With a beep, the alloy door opened.
Tang Yu was astonished by the security level here, but since he was Director after all, in order to maintain his image, he held back and didn’t voice the curiosity in his heart.
…
The receptionist girl, leading the way and seeing that Tang Yu remained silent, didn’t dare to prattle on with irrelevant small talk.
In case it displeased the Director, that would be trouble.
It was impossible to give an introduction; Director Tang was no outsider, but rather the most powerful person in the Sanctuary, and she was sure he was very familiar with the Logistics Department’s office building. Her role in leading the way was just in accordance with the etiquette due to a leader.
She lowered her head, stealing a glance back and thinking to herself.
…
Tang Yu didn’t know the receptionist girl had conjured up so much in her mind, and they quickly arrived in front of the office.
Two staff members came towards them, holding a stack of documents in their arms and greeted the guide.
“Na.”
Only now did Tang Yu learn… one character of the receptionist girl’s name.
The two staff members gave Tang Yu a few glances, failing to recognize him, and the professionalism of the Logistics Department’s staff also told them to speak less and do more.
They left quickly, and Na stepped forward to knock on the door, from which Eileen’s voice emerged.
Pushing the door open, Tang Yu walked in.
As soon as he entered, he froze in place.
This office was much larger than he had imagined.
To either side were large storage racks, with books standing upright or stacks of documents piled up.
In the center were spacious tables, but even they were covered with stacks of files and documents, some piled so high that they exceeded his height.
Tang Yu walked over to the nearest table and casually picked up a few documents to read.
“Rune Weapon Breakage Rate Statistics”
“Daily Sales Growth of Type I Combat Uniforms and Future Production Estimates (Luoxia District)”
“Classification and Statistics of Scrap Iron Materials (see detailed information 023, 035, 069)”
“Meow meow meow?”
Tang Yu was completely baffled.
He could understand the titles but what was all that content below?
Wasn’t it enough to just calculate how many units of iron material were in stock? What was all this stuff, at least over thirty pages thick, written about? And specific classifications required checking other documents too??
When he looked around at the other desks, and even the large, tall shelves on both sides, and the various documents they held…
For a moment, Tang Yu clutched his chest, feeling a bit out of breath.
He could clearly see that the storage racks around him were close to ten meters tall!
—— No wonder the office wasn’t set up on the third floor. It turned out… they knocked through from the first to third floor!
Even so, the books and documents stuffed in here still gave a feeling of overcrowding.
Next to the storage racks on both sides, Tang Yu saw two wooden stepladders with wheels on the bottom that could be pushed back and forth, allowing Logistics Department staff to climb up to retrieve documents from the high shelves.
However…
At first, Tang Yu thought this design was somewhat troublesome, but he understood why once he saw Eileen.
At that moment, Eileen was dressed in a gorgeous ice-blue gown, sitting cross-legged, sideways, upon her Ice Crystal Magic Wand, which was as tall as she was.
She controlled the wand as it floated and moved, flying from the top shelf on the left to the right side. Her eyes swiftly scanned the labels on the shelves, and in a short while, she took out several bound documents and held them against her chest.
Whooooosh——
The wand descended to about one or two meters above the ground, Eileen’s feet touched down, and upon seeing Tang Yu, she giggled, revealing two sweet dimples.
…
In the apocalypse, materials were of primary concern for any Sanctuary.
The Logistics Department, responsible for managing most of the Sanctuary’s materials, had a lot to handle each day.
Much more than Tang Yu had anticipated.
Eileen worked from dusk till dawn, and from dawn till dusk, which made him feel distressed for her.
“You could let others handle these things, don’t work too hard.”
“Not at all,” Eileen replied with a smile, “I’m very happy, really. When I was living alone, every day was spent trying to survive, but I didn’t understand what the point of surviving was. Now I understand, this is the reason I live, my value.”
Tang Yu was stunned.
Under the soft lighting, her sky-blue hair draped over her shoulders, her eyes clear as a lake, ripple with tranquility, her smile was very sincere, so sincere that… Tang Yu was touched, looking at her, the corners of his mouth also lifted in a slight smile.
He couldn’t help but start tackling the pile of accumulated documents too.
Flipping through pages, scanning line by line, cross-referencing data, analyzing statistics, reviewing approvals… Never had there been a moment when Tang Yu felt so overwhelmed.
He felt as though his intelligence wasn’t sufficient, especially when he looked at Eileen opposite him, who processed documents at lightning speed, probably ten times faster than himself.
He was grateful to have such capable followers; without them, no matter how strong he was, or how many resources he had, he wouldn’t be able to sustain a Sanctuary.
Let alone keep it so well-organized.
Across from him, Eileen stood up, leaned forward, extended her arm, and took a stack of unprocessed documents from beside him.
Her hair cascaded down, floating before his eyes, the faint scent unique to Eileen lingering at his nose.
