357 Is He Acting Stupid?
Lu Xun looked at the man warily. “May I know who you are?”
The man did not answer his question. Instead, he asked the same question again. “Do you admire Captain An? If you were given a chance to work for Captain An, would you want it?”
The man’s words stunned Lu Xun. “Work for Captain An? What job is it?”
“You saw a lot of staff members when you came, right? You’ll be like them, working in places like the treatment chambers.”
“But I don’t know anything about science and technology.”
“It doesn’t matter. I don’t understand it either, but I also hope that the base will become better and better.”
‘I don’t understand it either, but I also hope that the base will become better and better.’ Du Yue was thinking about what he said when Lu Xun asked, “So who are you? Why are you telling me so much? We don’t even know each other.”
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled. “I’m An Wu.”
When Lu Xun heard this, he could not help but widen his eyes. “Are you Captain An?”
“Yes, why are you so surprised? What did you think Captain An would look like?” An Wu’s tone was gentle, and he seemed very approachable.
Lu Xun scratched his chin. “What did I think Captain An would look like? I’ve never thought about this at all. What Captain An looks like has nothing to do with me.”
As soon as Lu Xun finished speaking, the warm smile on An Wu’s face froze. Du Yue tried her best to stop herself from laughing out loud. An Wu thought that he had met a fan, but he did not expect Lu Xun to have just praised him casually.
Lu Xun was simply picking a fight today! Du Yue looked at An Wu from the corner of her eye. She saw that he quickly adjusted his expression and still smiled very approvingly. “Let’s not talk about this first. I just asked you if you were willing to work with me, and you haven’t told me your answer.”
Lu Xun seemed to be in a difficult position. “It’s not about whether I want to or not. I don’t know anything except fishing. Do you want a fisherman like me? Fishermen aren’t of much help to you, right?”
Initially, An Wu looked at Lu Xun with anticipation, but the more Lu Xun spoke, the stiffer his expression became. At this moment, he could not figure out if Lu Xun was deliberately not giving him face or if he was really a little stupid.
“I don’t need a fisherman, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do other jobs.” An Wu’s tone was not as gentle as before. “People from your second base won’t be able to find any good jobs here. Usually, they just farm. Now that there’s a sandstorm, it’s unknown how the crops will grow in the end. If you only rely on those crops and the heavens pity you, you can survive. But if the heavens don’t, you can’t even fill your stomach, right? But if you work under me, I’ll give you ten contribution points every day and pay you daily.
“Isn’t it better than you farming at home?”
Lu Xun muttered, “Ten contribution points…” This salary was something he had never dared to imagine before. The current price of rice was six contribution points per catty. In other words, he could buy a full ten catties of rice in six days of work, and it would also allow everyone in the small courtyard to eat more.
At the thought of this, Lu Xun perked up. He looked at An Wu in surprise. “Captain An, is what you said true? Are you really going to give me ten contribution points every day?”
An Wu was very satisfied with Lu Xun’s reaction. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my word.”
Lu Xun nodded after hearing that. Although he still could not believe that he was so lucky, An Wu was quite famous in the base now. He was also the captain, so he probably was not lying to him.
Lu Xun looked at An Wu and said with certainty, “Captain An, I’m willing to work under you!”
An Wu nodded in satisfaction. “Alright, don’t worry. As long as you do your job properly, your future will definitely get better and better. I won’t ask you to do any difficult work. You just need to guard the door and take care of the things I ask you to take care of. That’s all your work.” At this point, An Wu’s gaze shifted to the side and landed on Du Yue and He Xing again. “You’re with him?
“Do you want to work under me with him? The salary is the same.”
Before Du Yue and He Xing could refuse, Lu Xun said to them excitedly, “You guys should join too! Stop hesitating! This salary is so good! In this weather, your small shop can’t open for business. It’s better to come out and earn some money!”
