99: Make an online payment

The issue of prostitution in the Shelter was a cut-and-dry matter, with no room for discussion.

After this matter spread throughout the Shelter, the vast majority of people expressed their approval.

Of course, many people were still dissatisfied.

Ultimately, isn't selling labor also a form of exchange of benefits?

Why is it acceptable to sell labor, or to sell knowledge, but not to engage in that kind of activity?

Those who hold such thoughts probably don't consider themselves human.

Tian Ming wants the Shelter to be orderly, a place for people to live.

People have shame, dignity, and values, but some prefer to act like animals, so he couldn't be bothered to argue.

This approach undoubtedly garnered a lot of goodwill, especially from the women who worked diligently, greatly increasing their recognition of Tian Ming as their leader.

The male group was somewhat peculiar; most remained silent about this matter, rarely commenting.

Men are mostly rational animals, except in certain aspects.

If they were to negotiate themselves, the cost would be much higher than a quick transaction.

With this path cut off by the leader, men only had one option: either exchange sincerity for sincerity, or remain alone for life.

In a small place like the Shelter, if one's reputation was ruined, there was no chance of recovery.

Inside the ward, Shen Yuan's complexion had improved significantly; she had eaten well and rested sufficiently these past two days.

She had wanted to go out, but Wu Cuiling wouldn't allow it, insisting on further observation.

"Sister Cuiling, have you heard about the matter the leader handled?" Shen Yuan asked.

Wu Cuiling smiled calmly and said, "Yes, I think it was handled very well, very fairly, without any favoritism."

"Hehe, honestly, the leader's attitude in handling things really surprised me.

Originally, I thought he would follow the Western approach, set up rules, and allow such things to continue, but I didn't expect him to just cut it off completely," Shen Yuan said, but in her heart, she couldn't stop praising Tian Ming.

Wu Cuiling smiled, saying, "You look a bit like a fangirl now.

The leader is a leader with correct values; with him around, the Shelter won't be chaotic.

When he saved my child, I already pledged my loyalty to him from the bottom of my heart."

Wu Cuiling spoke very frankly, without any other emotions.

As a mother and also a doctor, she understood her position; she was a very clear-headed woman who wouldn't dwell on unrealistic matters.

Moreover, everyone could see who the leader had eyes for.

Wu Cuiling's loyalty meant upholding the leader's decisions at all times.

Shen Yuan smiled: "Who's his fangirl?

Don't praise him as if he's so great; actually, he's in my..."

"Alright, don't say that, it's not good," Wu Cuiling made a shushing gesture.

Shen Yuan stuck out her tongue; she hadn't intended to speak ill of Tian Ming.

In front of everyone, Tian Ming was the unyielding leader, but in Shen Yuan's eyes, he was more like an ordinary, big boy with a big brother-like personality.

But this side, only she could see.

"Sickly girl, feeling better?" Tian Ming's voice came from outside the door.

Wu Cuiling stood up and said with a smile, "The leader is here, I won't disturb you two."

As soon as Wu Cuiling finished speaking, Tian Ming pushed the door open and walked in.

Looking at Wu Cuiling, Tian Ming greeted her, "Dr. Wu!"

"Yes, leader, Shen Yuan's cold symptoms are gone, but I still recommend two more days of rest, don't get too tired."

"Don't worry, I'm not some evil capitalist.

Oh, right, many of the newcomers have frostbite; please take the trouble to follow up on them, don't let any major problems arise."

Wu Cuiling nodded with a smile: "Okay, leader, I'll go out first, you two chat."

After leaving the room, Wu Cuiling gently closed the door.

Tian Ming glanced at Shen Yuan and said, "Get up, let's go to the Laboratory."

"Didn't you say I was on vacation and couldn't go out into the cold wind?"

"With me here, what are you afraid of?

I'll create a warm bubble for you.

There's an urgent matter, and I need your help, let's go!"

Shen Yuan had no choice but to obediently get up, change her clothes, and put on her cold-weather gear.

Tian Ming formed an insulating layer around Shen Yuan; the air entering her surroundings would instantly reach 25 degrees Celsius.

Upon arriving at the Laboratory, Zhang Mengqi was fiddling with an instrument.

Shen Yuan immediately recognized it: wasn't this the face-scanning machine used by merchants, or more commonly, a payment terminal?

Seeing Shen Yuan arrive, Zhang Mengqi waved at Shen Yuan and said, "Little Shen, come take a look."

Shen Yuan walked forward with a puzzled expression and said, "What are you doing?

Are we starting online payments now? This, this is too fast, isn't it?"

Zhang Mengqi said with a smile, "The leader said to directly integrate the ticket system into online payments.

Everyone will be issued a payment wristband, and payment will be made using the wristband plus facial recognition.

This way, if they conduct private transactions, we can also check the records.

This will prevent prostitution from happening again."

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "This thing is already very mature; our server has programming AI, so you can just let it write one, can't you?"

Zhang Mengqi scratched her head: "I'm not very good at this, that's why I called you."

"A data volume of over 1000 people is very small; it can be done in an hour or so," Shen Yuan said, sitting down.

She put on her headset and touched the metal band on it.

"Brother Gouzi, come to the Laboratory, bring 5 people."

"Little Shen, is something wrong?" Gouzi's voice came through the headset.

"Hurry up, the leader is here too, otherwise the leader will get angry."

Upon hearing that, Gouzi quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll bring people over immediately."

Tian Ming smiled, shook his head, and said, "You really know how to use someone else's prestige, don't you?"

"That's right, it's easier to mobilize resources that way.

I originally didn't want to mention you, but in the Shelter, you're a golden signboard; as soon as I mention you, it works."

Tian Ming said somewhat seriously, "You can mention me, but only when it's for serious business."

Shen Yuan, while typing on the keyboard, waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, leader, everything I do is serious business."

Once Little Shen started working, she was extremely serious.

This attitude was simply impeccable.

She was not only efficient but also highly productive and never slacked off.

What boss wouldn't like such a subordinate?

In less than 5 minutes, Gouzi arrived with 5 people.

"Brother Gouzi, get me 5 phones from the drawer and go out to take pictures, right over there," Shen Yuan pointed to a Laboratory cabinet.

"What for?" Gouzi looked puzzled.

"For facial recognition data collection!

Our voucher system is going to be fully upgraded to online payment.

The communication system is already usable.

The canteen and material exchange points will all use face-scanning and wristband-scanning for payment.

Salaries will also be distributed directly through this system," Shen Yuan explained.

"Wow, that advanced?" Gouzi looked incredulous.

Tian Ming gave Gouzi a disdainful look: "Stop chattering here.

If I tell you to work, get to it."

Gouzi immediately shuddered, nodding repeatedly in affirmation.

He took five phones from the drawer and was about to leave with his people, but Shen Yuan called him back.

"Make sure to take clear pictures of the faces, and then name the corresponding photo files with the person's name.

Check the management list yourself, don't misspell the names; I'm using the system for automatic fetching," Shen Yuan instructed.
