Invasion of the United States

Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself that since he might leave at any moment, not approving this kind of grassroots-pleasing action would be foolish.

As to whether the money would ultimately reach each person, that wasn't his concern, but the "gesture" had to be grand.

"Three hundred US Dollars per day for each person?" Zhou Qingfeng mused for a moment, then shook his head, "That's too little, even five hundred US Dollars would be far from enough!

Medical staff like Shanni, who risk their lives working continuously for over a week to save countless lives, are so great that they must be given sufficient economic rewards!"

Zhou Qingfeng's tone became impassioned, as if he were generously offering the money from his own pocket.

"Before I took office, when the pandemic was most perilous, those medical staff who faithfully stayed on duty should receive a daily allowance of two thousand US Dollars per person!

After I assumed office, any medical personnel who are on duty or return to duty will have a daily allowance set at one thousand US Dollars per person!"

Shanni was stunned upon hearing the figure.

She quickly calculated roughly the hours she put in overtime during this period, according to this standard, she could actually receive twenty to thirty thousand US Dollars in allowance!

A sense of immense satisfaction and relief welled up in her heart, and she thought to herself: "If I could actually get this money, the previous hardships and efforts seem worthwhile."

Deborah also quickly calculated the massive expenditure, her face showing obvious difficulty,

"Mr. Harden, increasing the allowance amount by several times is certainly fantastic news for frontline medical personnel.

For a better reading experience, visit M(VLEMPYR).

However, the financial pressure will be extremely immense, and you might face a lot of criticism and questioning in the future."

Zhou Qingfeng laughed heartily, dismissing her concerns with a wave, "Deborah, tell me where I need to sign? I will approve this plan right now!

However, this draft is still not comprehensive, lacking specific implementation details. You are now an assistant minister, you can't do everything on your own.

You need to mobilize your subordinates, let them turn this draft into a truly executable plan.

Remember, you and your colleagues who stayed on duty during the pandemic are heroes too; all heroes should receive due rewards!"

In just a few short sentences, Lady Deborah's face shone with excitement again, as if reignited with newfound vigor.

While she nodded repeatedly in agreement, her face also revealed a troubled expression, "Mr. Harden, I have another challenge.

Previously, my position was too low, and suddenly being promoted, many people might not respect my authority, nor follow my orders.

Moreover, I'm used to staying up late working on specific tasks, lacking enough authority and connections in management and coordination, I fear it will be difficult to effectively mobilize my staff."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng slammed the table, stood up fiercely, and shouted, "Let's go! I'll go with you right now to see who dares not listen to you!

You are someone I promoted, if they defy you, they're defying me, I'll have them pack up and leave immediately!"

Deborah quickly waved her hand, speaking more hesitantly, "No, no, Mr. Harden, there's no need for you to appear personally, doing so would make things awkward for everyone.

Having Miss Shanni accompany me is enough, with her presence, I'm sure it'll be fine." She turned to Shanni imploringly.

Zhou Qingfeng thought for a moment and slowly sat back down.

If such a minor issue required his personal intervention, it definitely showed that Deborah still had significant shortcomings in management ability and authority, making it difficult to truly win the crowd.

Shanni understood this, nodded, and indicated she was willing to accompany Lady Deborah on a visit to see what the problem was with her subordinates.

As the two ladies left, Zhou Qingfeng leaned back leisurely and continued with the 'entertainment' that had been interrupted.

Some works from the seventies and eighties, despite bearing mediocre picture quality, have quite good storylines and a unique charm.

Especially after being remastered in HD by AI, they can even uncover unique period marks and artistic value, worth savoring carefully.

But before he could retrieve the page he hadn't finished viewing, there was another slow and steady knock on the office door.

The 'gatekeeper' security head Ernst stood outside, awkwardly bowed, and said in low voice, "Sorry, Sir Harden, I wonder if it's convenient to disturb you for a few minutes?

I have a dream… no, no, I have a proposal. It's about mobilizing 'medical volunteers' in the city."

Zhou Qingfeng had to sit upright again, quickly switching to a serious listening expression, enthusiastically gesturing,

"Come in, Ernst. Speak your mind, I'm listening. I am very willing to approve any proposal that helps quickly end this pandemic."

Ernst came empty-handed, without any written material.

This guy indeed has an idea, but it's still just a spark in his mind, lingering at the initial 'light bulb moment.' stage.

"Sir, our current city order is terrible, everywhere lacks manpower, and many key positions don't run smoothly.

But in fact, there's still a large amount of human resources in the city that hasn't been effectively mobilized.

If we can invest some funds, and give these volunteers some operational authority..."
